NEWPORT—Campbell County 911dis-patchers – who serve as a constant linkfor the public to police and firefighters –have been thrown a funding lifeline.

County Fiscal Court approved a new$45 annual fee for property ownersAug.7 as a replacement for the $3 per monthfeeon landline telephones.The fees fundthe operations of the Campbell CountyConsolidated Dispatch Center in thebasement of the Newport City Building.There a staff of 22 people work four ro-tating 12-hour shifts with five dispatch-ers working at all times.

Acall to 911isnot social, anddispatch-ers ask “where is your emergency” andfor a call back number first because notall wireless or over the Internet phonesprovide caller ID or precise locations,said Dale Edmondson, executive direc-tor of the center.

More than 44,000 landline calls and150,000 wireless phone calls are an-swered each year, and that number in-creases annually, Edmondson said.

The center’s 2012-13 operatingbudgetwas about $1.89million, and the primaryrevenue source has been landline fees,he said. The number of landlines in thecounty has decreased every year sincethecenteropened in2002– therearenowabout 18,000 landlines in the county andabout41,000 residences.

Landline revenues fell from$1.68mil-lion in2010 to$1.56million in2011to$1.49million in 2012, Edmondson said. Camp-bell County Fiscal Court has been sup-plementing the 911 center’s budget withmoney each year. This year’s contribu-

NEWPORT — Voter registration rec-ords in Campbell County will be keptdigitally by the Campbell County Clerkby the end of the summer.

Voter registration cardswill be keptat the clerk’s office, aswell as electron-ic images of the cards for the office’ssearchable computer system.

New voter registration cards are al-ready being scanned using a computersystem now in place, said JenniferMcGrath, elections supervisor in theclerk’s office.

Thescanningofoldervoterregistra-tion cards will happen in August,McGrath said.

The Kentucky Department for Li-braries and Archives is paying for thedigitization with a $22,000 grant, saidCounty Clerk Jack Snodgrass.

The most important benefit will besecurity. Paper registration cards willbe kept in a separate location in case of

fire or in case they are needed, Snod-grass said.

Certifying petitions more quicklyandmaking sure peoplewho signed areregisteredvoters in thecounty isanoth-er advantage, he said.

Snodgrass said the clerk’s staff willnow be able to search by last name orSocial Security number, and pull up in-formation on the card and an image ofthe face of the actual registration withthe signature.

“Weusedtohavetogothrougheveryone of those cards and check them byhand,” he said.

Thereareapproximately 67,000 reg-istered voters in the county, and theclerks office will be scanning about98,000 current and old voter registra-tion cards, Snodgrass said.

The digitization will allow for fasterupdates for people who have moved,changed parties or changed their mar-ital status, he said.

In the 2012 presidential primary, alot of people claimed they were regis-

tered to vote as a Republican, Snod-grass said.

“They had no idea that they weren’tregistered as a Republican, and thatthey were really registered as a Demo-crat,”hesaid. “Theyhadneverchangedtheir card. Some of them went back 20years.”

Thenewcomputer systemwill allowthe clerk’s office to look up party regis-tration without looking at cards byhand, Snodgrass said.

The average person will not noticeany changes, he said.

“We’re going to scan every singlecard and keep it in the system,” Snod-grass said. “Then we’re going to keepthe most prominent last two cards intheofficeand therestof themaregoingto be stored away in the warehouse.”

Snodgrass, who previously an-nouncedhis retirement, saidheplans tostay through theMay 2014 primary.Heplans toretireno later thanAug.5, 2014.

Snodgrass said voter cards will bedigitized before he retires.

jected reserve amount iscontingent on the centerreceiving a $104,000 Ken-tuckyOffice ofHomelandSecurity grant not yet ap-proved for improved po-lice hand-held radio com-munications, Edmondsonsaid. The dispatch centerbudget for the upcomingyear does not reflect anypotential cost increases,he said.

“Even if the cost ofnothing goes up, we areway beyond broke nextyear,” Edmondson said.

Edmondson said hesuccessfully requestedcity councils in the countyraise the per month lan-

tion was $260,000.The center has

$200,000 in reserves pro-jected for the current fis-cal year, he said. The pro-

dline fee from $2 to $3 in2005. Council memberswere told the fee wouldkeep the 911 center finan-cially solvent for fiveyears, he said.

“I’m very very proudto say that we made itwork for eight years,” Ed-mondson said.

The property tax 911fee is the solution for now,but the best collectionpoint is putting a fee on autility because it is by farthe fairest, he said.

“This may be only astopover funding mecha-nism,” Edmondson said.

Campbell County Ad-ministrator Robert Ho-rine said the new 911 feewill be on taxbills that aremailed out around thefirst of November.

Essentially the reve-nue fromthe$45propertytax fee will be used to op-erate the 911 center in2014, he said.

“We’re getting the rev-enue up front in order tofund this service into thenext year,” Horine said.

The county is recom-mending cities repeal, ef-fectiveDec.31, the$3-per-landline fee assessed topay for 911 services, hesaid.

“The landline fees, thathas always been a pay asyou go thing,” he said.

Since the tax bill onlygoesoutonceayear, itwillcover the costs of the next12 months, he said.

The property tax 911fee was designed to bringin an estimated $1.8 mil-lion, Horine said.

The actual tax collect-ed will be less than $1.8million since a 50 percentdiscounts will be given tolandlords in 2013 so theycan adjust their rents, hesaid.

Either way, the countywill provide the $1.8 mil-lion in funding to the 911center next year, Horinesaid.

ALEXANDRIA — Camp-bell County SchoolsBoard of Education, seek-ing to cover the loss of$1.7 million in federal andstate revenue, has raisedlocal property tax reve-nues by 4 percent aftercutting the budget by al-most $1million.

The board of educationvoted unanimously toraise the property taxrate to 59.2 cents per$100,000 of assessedprop-erty value at an Aug. 29special meeting. The newrate for the 2013 tax billsgoing out in Novemberwill raise an estimated$730,000 more than the2012 rate of 56.6 cents per$100 of assessed propertyvalue. Revenue fromproperty taxes is project-ed to increase to $18.23million.

The concern is a reduc-tion in local, state and fed-eral revenues totaling$1.7 million will impedethe district’s ability tokeep promoting high aca-demic achievement, addto technology and aca-demic and athletic facili-ties, said SuperintendentGlen Miller.

Thedistrict already re-duced expenditures byabout $1million this year,Miller said.

“But any additional re-ductions could have a sig-nificant impact, a nega-tive impact, on our pro-gress and jeopardize thequality of our instruction-al programs in the fu-ture,” he said.

A March 14 article inThe Campbell County

Recorder detailed howthe district eliminated 37positions, but also creatednine new positions in a re-structuring of districtsupport services. Thecuts included eliminating9.5 para-educator class-room positions, the dis-trict energymanager, twomath interventionist posi-tions and 10.5 school-based staff developer po-sitions.

Miller said the dis-trict’s success in the pastyear included obtaining a

national ranking for thefirst time. CampbellCounty High School wasranked among the top2,000 public high schoolsin the2013America’sBestHigh Schools list com-piledbyNewsweekmaga-zine and The Daily Beastwebsite. Miller said thedistrict has expanded ad-vanced placement oppor-tunities for students andan enhanced academicand athletic facilities allwhile maximizing the ef-ficiency and effective-

ness of our operations.“Additionally, when

our state assessmentscores are released to thepublic in the next monthby the Kentucky Depart-ment of Education we doexpect similar results tobe found in high perform-ing school districts,” hesaid.

Improving AdvancedPlacement scores and col-lege and career readinessis a focus,Miller said. Thedistrict is enhancing in-structional technologiesby adding 3-D printing,aviation simulators andstudent iPads and workstations, he said.

Miller presented the

board with a list of pro-jects the tax increase willenable.

Miller’s list included:enhancing instructionaltechnologies by adding3-Dprinting,aviationsim-ulators and student iPadsand work stations; en-hance school safety; prop-erty acquisition; stadiumsecurity cameras; rein-stall limited bus purchas-ing (two buses), and John-son Control notificationsoftware to monitor heat-ing and air conditioning.

Board chairwomanJanis Winbigler said thisyear’s budget included$200,000 in federal se-questration cuts, and the

loss of federal EduJobsfunding cost district jobs.Other federal grant re-ductions amounted to$280,000, and the districtlost $100,000 in stategrants.

The district will con-tinue to offer full-day kin-dergarten for students,and the district receivesfunding for only half dayfrom the state, she said.

“We’re reachinga levelin Campbell County thatwe’ve never been in be-fore in termsofourschoolsystem,” Winbigler said.“I think that you have aquality school system andthat’s going tohelp our en-tire community.”

Campbell schools cut $1M, raise taxesBy Chris [email protected] TAX RATE HEARING ATTENDANCE

Vicki Holloway of Alexandria was one of two people tospeak at a public hearing about the tax rate. Both peopleasked for an explanation of why the 4 percent increase wasneeded, but did not say they were against or for the in-crease.Holloway said after the public hearing and meeting she

wanted more “direct information or specifics” about howthe 4 percent increase was going to be necessary to sustainthe learning in the classroom and directly help students.Board chairwoman Janis Winbigler also met with Hollo-

way to discuss the rate increase privately after the meet-ing.

ALEXANDRIA — On manySundays, Bishop BrossartHigh School senior MichaelCaldwell will run severalmiles with friend Zac Holt-kamp, a former Mustangstandout and current runnerat Northern Kentucky Uni-versity.

Caldwell has learnedmanya lesson from Holtkamp, andis using them to try to build amemorable senior year withthe Mustangs.

Caldwell started the 2013cross country season by win-ning the Ryle InvitationalAug. 31 in Union. He ran thecourse in15minutes, 50.9 sec-onds,which he saidwas a per-sonal best though he estimat-ed the course wasn’t a full5,000meters.He ran16:01 in apractice meet Aug. 24 in Cen-terville, Ohio. Brossart headcoach Rob Braun said the15:50.9 is a school record.

“This one might be a littlebit short, but I don’t know if itwas 13 seconds short,” Cald-well said. “Two miles in, youstart to feel the lead in yourlegs. You start tightening up,especially with how quick allthe other guys are going. Ijustwanted to go out hard andhammer them from the start.I wanted to go out hard. IknewIwouldhaveenough,es-pecially with my speed.”

Caldwell is the senior lead-er for Brossart, who returnsall five runnerswho scored inthe state meet last year, andonly lost one varsity runneroverall.

“He’s our senior, he’s ourleader,” Braun said. “He has adifferent attitude about theseason and he proved that inthe summer training, and itshowed today. It’s proof to theguysthat ifyouworkhardandput yourmind to it, you candoanything.”

Caldwell, who finishedsixth in last year’s Class 1Astate meet to help Brossartfinish third, has embraced hisrole as a captain, thanks inlarge part to guidance fromHoltkamp.

“I’m used to having some-

body in front of me sayingthings,”Caldwell said. “He’s agood mentor to me and he seta pretty darn good examplefor me. I know what I have todo with these guys. He tookme under his wing and I’vegot to do the same with theseguys.”

The Mustangs have beenbattling injuries and didn’thave all their top runners forthe varsity race at Ryle, withseveral running in the juniorvarsity race as their first out-ing of the season. They havetime towork into top form forthe postseason.

While thebehemothknownas 11-time defending statechamp St. Henry is always onthe course trying to stayahead of the Mustangs, Cald-well and his Brossart team-mates are ready to give ittheir best shot.

“Theguyswhoaren’t in thetop 10 put a good effort outthere and that’s all you canask for,” Caldwell said.“That’s what Brossart isabout, giving it everythingyou got.”

Like much of NorthernKentucky, the Mustangs willbe at the Grant County meetSept. 7 at Sherman Elemen-tary, the same course as re-gionals. Then, after runningat Mason County Sept. 14,Brossart will be in the Camp-bell County championshipsSept. 17.

ALEXANDRIA — Few footballteams in the state have startedthe seasonwithmore hype overtheir first three games thanCampbell County has.

After opening a new homestadium, the Camels face twodefending state champions. Asthe teampreparesfor itssecondhome game of the season, it islooking forward to a week ofworkmanlike preparation.

TheCamelsgavetheraucoushome crowd plenty to cheer forin the home opener, shuttingdown Newport, 27-7, Aug. 23.The evening was the culmina-tionofyears ofworkandexcite-ment thatwent into building theCampbell County High SchoolAthletic Complex.

“The environment was elec-tric,” said Lickert. “Our boardand administration did a greatjob with the dedication andmaking the opening a big deal.Our fans came out in amazingfashion to support our youngmen.”

In both games so far, the de-fensehaskeptCampbellCountyin the game while the offensestarted slowly. Some nerves ac-

companied the opener, possiblydue to the large crowd in thenew 3,750-person capacity sta-dium.

“Our players were probablya littlemore nervous than usualin the opener because therewere so many people there,”said Lickert. “I felt we con-trolled the game from the start,but kept shooting ourselves in

the foot.”The defense kept the Camels

close against Highlands, thewinner of six straight statechampionships. It was a goodearly-season test for CampbellCounty,and ithappenedtocomeagainst Lickert’s alma mater.

It took until the 84thminute of the fourthgame of the season, butthe Norse are on theboard.

Northern KentuckyUniversity’s women’ssoccer team notched itsfirst goal of the seasonSept.1againstTennesseeTech.Thegoal, scoredbySimon Kenton HighSchool graduate AllisonPonzer, also gave theNorse their first victoryof the season.

“We’ve been workingreally hard all year justto get a goal and get ourfirst win,” said Ponzer, asenior midfielder/for-ward.

Ponzernetted theonlygoal of the match afterreceiving a pass fromsenior forward Megan

Frye. Itwas the first goalPonzer scored since hersophomore season. Asone of the senior leaderson the team, she felt thatit was important to givethe young squad a boost.

“It isgoodforourgirlsto get awin and get someconfidence,” saidPonzer.

The Norse are off to a1-2-1 start to 2013, afterfinishing the 2012 season6-11. This is the pro-gram’s second seasoncompeting in theAtlanticSunConferenceattheDi-vision I level. Aftermiss-ing on several chances inthefirst threematchesofthe season, the pressurebegan to mount. A lot ofthat pressure and anxi-ety was lifted when Pon-zer’s ball found the backof the net.

“It was a really greatfeeling,” said Ponzer.“Thank goodness — it

was about time!”Theoffensehasbeena

If Ponzer’s goalbreaksthesealandopensthe offensive floodgates,the Norse could contendfor a conference title.

“We have been fo-cused on our offensiveattack all year,” saidPon-zer. “I feel like now thatwe finally got that firstgoal, we’ll get a lot moreopportunities andbeableto finish.”

When was the last time youpicked up your Bible? If itwasn’t today, (or yesterday, orthe day before that) you’re notalone.

Most of us bring our Biblesto church (maybe) and followalong with the sermon once ortwice a week. But what aboutthose of us that aren’t attend-ing church on a regular basis?When are we picking up ours?Why are people choosing notto read what is still the No. 1bestseller in America? Formany of us the answers vary,but the top three are commonto most of us:

» The Bible isn’t relevantto my situation; it’s outdated.

» It’s toohard to un-derstand.

» I don’thave time.

But whatabout the is-sues we faceevery day?How are wecoping withthe drug-ad-dicted familymember, the

bills that are piling up, thespouse who won’t speak, thejob we can’t find, and the kidswho are growing up too fast?

You don’t have to tell me, Iknow. I fall into the “beenthere, done that” category. Werelax and unwind on the week-ends (and sometimes duringthe week) to numb the pain.We shop until the stores areclosed to forget the bills, andwe eat the whole gallon of icecream to cover up the loneli-ness.

Yet, when the weekend isover, what are we left with?We’re left with a splittingheadache, a new credit cardbill, and an extra five poundson the scale. As I said, “I’vebeen there, done that.”

If you’re looking for a newcoping mechanism, might Ishare with you what that dustybook says about your situa-tion:

» “The Lord hears his peo-ple when they call out to himfor help. He rescues themfrom all their troubles. TheLord is close to the broken-hearted; he rescues thosewhose spirits are crushed.”(Psalm 34:17-18)

» “In my desperation Iprayed, and the Lord listened;he saved me from all my trou-bles. (Psalm 34:6)

And if you’re wondering ifthese words can possibly ben-efit you, let me remind youwhat the Bible has to sayabout that. “All scripture isinspired by God and is usefulto teach us what is true and tomake us realize what is wrongin our lives. It corrects uswhen we are wrong and teach-es us to do what is right.” Inother words, God does not lie,and he does not waste hisbreath. What he says is impor-tant, true and life-changing.

So instead of happy hourtonight, how about you just hitthe couch with a good book.(And save the headache forwhen you’re helping the kidswith their homework.)

People should stop smok-ing. I’ve been hearing it sincethe 1960s when I cajoled myfather into quitting. I was 6years old – at which time heprobably realized I was just

enough of apain in thebackside tosomedaybecome alawyer.

How do weget others toquit? Govern-ment prob-ably can’tstop all thenicotine ad-dictions out

there. Can we at least agreethat government should notpromote smoking or offerspecial financial benefits tosmokers?

Here’s how our govern-ment promotes smoking.Kentucky and many otherstates have “civil rights” lawswhich require employers tohire smokers. Is a smokerlike a modern day RosaParks? Don’t get hot aroundthe collar about me compar-ing Ms. Parks, a true civilrights hero, with smokers. I

didn’t write these smokinglaws. I think the smokinglaws wrongfully restrict theliberty interests of businessowners and encourage smok-ing.

Here’s how we offer gov-ernment financial incentivesto smokers. Governmentrules essentially require non-smokers to pay for a portionof smoker health care costs,whether through Medicare,Medicaid, or insurance costsharing, at least to some de-gree.

By requiring us to finan-cially subsidize smoking, thegovernment has restrictedthe liberty interests of non-smokers. I call smoker healthsubsidies “secondhand”health care costs. If we don’tlike smoking, why are wepaying smokers to smoke?

A government whichshields citizens from the con-sequences of bad behaviorshouldn’t be surprised whenthe behavior continues. If weare, as some say, living in a“nanny state,” our nanny isbeing spread way too thin. Iheard she was handing outcigarettes the other day. Howabout some free market-type

solutions?1. Remove government

rules which prohibit employ-ers from preferring non-smokers over smokers. Thiswould take care of a big partof Kentucky’s problem. Acatchy name for the billwould help. We could call it“Smokers Are Not RosaParks.”

2. Take all governmentrules limiting premium costsfor smokers off the books.Allow employers and insurersto charge whatever healthinsurance rates they wish tocharge for smokers. The Af-fordable Care Act does someof this, but we could go fur-ther. We could call it “Smoke‘Em If You Can Afford ‘Em.”

3. If you’re smoking ridic-ulously high-priced ciga-rettes, don’t expect us to belegally required to pay foryour illnesses through Medi-caid. Remove governmentrequirements that we pay –rely on charities. We couldcall it “You Choose – Tobaccoor Free Healthcare.”

4. We’ve got chain smok-ers with plenty of money andlaws which essentially re-quire non-smokers to pay for

their care. Medicare expendi-tures already far exceed anindividual’s contributions tothe system. Ease our govern-ment-mandated expendituresfor smokers. This is a toughone, but they really need toquit. We could call it “Grand-ma, Don’t Blow Your SecondHand Healthcare Costs In MyFace,” or “Grandpa, Don’tCause Our Medicare DollarsTo Go Up In Smoke.”

5. Enhance private initia-tives on smoking cessation.Businesses across the com-monwealth would be willingto contribute. The nonprofitcould be called “Take OurHelping Hand Now, So YouWon’t Lose Your Free or Re-duced Cost Benefits Later.”

By restoring our country’sbuilding blocks of liberty andpersonal responsibility, wejust might truly curb sec-ondhand health care costs.

All of us know the phrase,“Survey says…” used by SteveHarvey (and Richard Dawsonbefore him) in the popular TVgame show, “Family Feud.”

So, let’s play Family Feudtoday. This will be fun, and it’sall about us. And there will beonly four questions.

For oursurvey resultswe will beusing the 2013survey inwhich theNationalCouncil onAging, Unit-edHealthcareand USA To-day asked4,000 U.S.adults, in-

cluding seniors ages 60 andolder, their thoughts on aging.

The first question: Whatpercentage of seniors reportnever exercising?

Survey says: Almost 1 in 5(18 percent) say they neverexercise. The United States ofAging Survey finds that whilemost seniors are not worriedabout the status of their healthtoday, many are not investingin activities that could helpthemmanage their health forthe long term, such as settingpersonal health goals or exer-cising. More than half (51percent) of seniors have notset any specific goals to man-age their health in the past

year, and 65 percent of seniorsreport having at least twochronic health conditions,such as high blood pressure,arthritis and high cholesterol.

Second question: Whatpercentage of future seniorsplan on using Social Securityas their primary source ofincome?

Survey says: Only 23 per-cent of adults age 18-59 plan torely primarily on Social Secu-rity. According to the survey,most seniors say they arecomfortable with their cur-rent financial situation, yet amajority express concernabout their long-term finan-cial security: more than half(53 percent) of seniors areconcerned about whethertheir savings and income willbe sufficient to last the rest oftheir life. The survey alsofound generational differ-ences when it comes to retire-ment. Nearly half (47 percent)of retired seniors currentlyhave access to pensions, andamong seniors that are not yetretired, 41 percent plan to relyon Social Security as theirprimary source of retirementincome.

The third question: Whatpercentage of adults surveyedfeel that their community isadequately prepared for theonslaught of seniors?

Survey says: 41 percent ofadults ages 18-59 do not be-lieve that their community is

prepared. This year’s surveyfinds that both seniors andyounger adults think the com-munity they live in could domore to prepare for a boom-ing senior population. Specifi-cally, 26 percent say theircommunity should invest inbetter public transportationand 23 percent say their cityor town should invest more inaffordable health care ser-vices and housing.

The final question: Is

Northern Kentucky preparedfor the onslaught of Boomers?

Survey says: Oh, sorry, wehaven’t done a survey. Thesurvey above only surveyedparts of the country. But, Sen-ior Services of Northern Ken-tucky believes that the resultsof the national survey provideinteresting insights on sen-iors’ evolving needs and howwe can work at the communi-ty level to help prepare Amer-ica’s seniors to age successful-ly.

SSNK is focused on theneeds of area seniors; we arecommitted to encouragingdiscussions and buildingawareness of the importanceof aging preparedness in thecommunity.

We want to know what youthink. As part of this ongoingdiscussion, Senior Serviceshas posted on its website thenational survey results. Be apart of this discussion. You donot need to be old to partici-pate, we will all be part of the“senior” population someday(we hope). Visit www.Senior-ServicesNKy.org and click onthe National Survey.

Whenmy kids wereyoung our lives werebusy, but nowhere nearhow busy their lives are

now thatthey’regrownwithfamilies oftheir own.The re-quests I’vegotten thisweek tellme a lot ofyou are inthe samesituation.

Readers want easymaindishes (pasta being themost popular) and healthysnacks. So here are two ofmy favorites.

Sausage lasagnausing uncookednoodles

For Darren, aWesternHills reader who saw asausage lasagna recipe inamagazine at the doctor’soffice. He said: “It calledfor uncooked noodles. Ididn’t want to tear therecipe out, but it lookedso good.” Here’s one frommy files. There are spe-cial “no-cook” lasagnanoodles you can buy.Leftovers can be frozenandmicrowaved to re-heat.

1pound favorite sausage26-32 oz. favorite pastasauce

3⁄4 cup water2 eggs, beaten lightly11⁄2 pounds (24 oz.) cottagecheese

1⁄2 cup Parmesan1⁄2 teaspoon each: garlicpowder, dried basil andoregano

9 uncooked lasagna noodles3 cups mozzarella

Preheat oven to 375degrees. Cook sausage.Drain. Stir in sauce andwater. Simmer10min-utes. Combine eggs, cot-tage cheese, Parmesanand seasonings. Spread 1⁄2cupmeat sauce intosprayed 13-inch by 9-inchpan. Layer with threenoodles, a third of cheesemixture, meat sauce andmozzarella. Repeat twice.Cover and bake 45min-utes. Uncover, bake 10minutes longer or untilnoodles are tender. Letstand 15minutes before

serving.Tip: Use a combo of

beef and sausage, all beefor turkey sausage.

No-bakegrain/gluten-freepower bars

Daughter-in-law Jessfound this on the JoyfulAbode site. This is a pro-tein-packed bar for kidsand adults alike. Great forpacking into kids’ lunchboxes, too and I like thefact that they’re grain/gluten free. I can nevereat just one. I renamedthe recipe to fit my slightadaptation. Check outJoyful site for step-by-step photos andmy blogfor more power bar reci-pes.

21⁄2 cups favorite nuts andseeds (I usedmixed nuts,flax and hemp seeds)

1 cup dried fruit (I useddried Michigan cherries,chopped)

2 cups shredded coconut1⁄4 cup coconut oil1⁄2 cup honey (I used rawhoney)

1 tablespoon vanilla1⁄4 teaspoon saltCinnamon to taste

Roughly chop 1 cup ofnuts and seeds. Place inbowl. Process remainingnuts and seeds in proces-sor, or by hand, to make afiner chop. Add to bowl.Add fruit and coconut.Pour oil, honey, vanilla,salt and cinnamon in panand, over low heat, cookuntil it boils gently, thenpour over fruit mixtureand blend. Pour into

sprayed 13-inch by 9-inchpan that has been linedwith sprayed foil orparchment. Press mixtureevenly into pan. Pressreal hard somixturesticks together. Put plas-tic wrap on top to makepressing down easier.Cool completely and cutinto bars. Can be frozenup to threemonths.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Don’t have coconut oil,which is a healthy oil? Ibelieve a vegetable orolive oil will work, it justwon’t have that extraelement of flavor.

Tips from readers’kitchens

From readerMaryAnnG. regarding the roastedtomatoes recipes: “Iroasted several per yourdirections and raidedmyherb garden for basil,rosemary and oregano.After roasting I let themcool and removed theskin. After chopping themslightly, I tossed them(along with the delicioustomato broth) with somespinach tortellini andbacon. It made an amaz-ingmeal.”

Diluting concentratedfruit juices for kids:Younger kids, especiallythose in sports, may bene-

fit from diluted fruit juice(make sure it’s got 100percent vitamin C). It’seasier to digest, will hy-drate and provide energy.Use at least twice asmuch water as is recom-mended on label.

Golf outing to take a swing at poverty

BELLEVUE — FairfieldAvenuewill be taken overby dogs ... and cats.

At least that will be thecase during the ShopBellevue event 6 p.m. Fri-day, Sept. 6. The theme isDog (& Cat) Days of Sum-mer.

“This is a super friend-ly event,” Jessica Miller,Bellevue Renaissancepresident, said. “It bringsa lot of people who mightnot know about Bellevueout to our community.”

Every first Friday,Bellevue Renaissancehosts Shop Bellevue, anevent that features busi-nesses alongFairfieldAv-enue. The shops and res-taurants stay open late,and many offer openhouses and specials relat-ing to the evening’stheme.

The Dog (& Cat) Daysof Summer will also fea-ture six blocks of pet-friendly vendors.

“We have everythingrelated to pets,” Millersaid. “There will be res-cue groups featuring ani-mals available for adop-tion, vendors with pettreats, pet beds and toys.”

Miller said, asapet lov-

er herself, she is very ex-cited about this event.

“It’s advantageous forBellevue,but it’s alsoreal-ly important for people tounderstand that there aretons and tons of animalsout there in shelters andrescues who need lovinghomes,” she said. “Also,hopefully this raisesawareness of the magni-tude of the animal popula-tion problem and the im-portance of spay and neu-tering.”

LoriWright, vicepresi-dent for Save Our ShelterDogs Rescue, has attend-ed the pet-friendly ShopBellevue for the last fouryears. She said it is goodfor both the city and ani-mals.

“It gives us a chance toreach peoplewhomaynotnormally attend a ‘dog’event,” she said. “Wehavehad several inquiries onour dogs and have hadsome adopted becausethey met them at theevent.”

At the same time, shesaid it raisesawarenessofBellevue.

“I actually live inLake-side Park and didn’t knowthat much about Bellevueuntil we attended the firstevent,” she said. “I lovethe atmosphere in thiscity.Theyhavewonderfulshops, great places to eatand everyone is friendly.”

Question: What kindof fertilizer do I need formy lawn, and whenshould I apply it? I haveclay soil.

Answer: New lawnsshould be fertilizedwhenever they are seed-ed. Fall is the best time tofertilize establishedlawns. To maintain aquality lawn, you shouldapply fertilizer everyyear in order to maintainturf uniformity, goodgreen color, and reduceweed problems.

The best way to deter-mine what type of fertil-izer your lawn needs is tohave the soil tested. Thisshould be done immedi-ately through your localcounty extension office(a free service in North-ern Kentucky counties),since it takes about twoweeks to get the resultsback, and you’ll need tobe fertilizing soon. Thesoil analysis will providean accurate recommen-dation for howmuchlime, phosphate, andpotash your lawn needs.

Many lawns in thisarea only need nitrogen,and most don’t requirelime. Phosphorus or po-tassium levels in the soilare often adequate, butthe only way to know

what yoursoil needsis to do asoil test.Take sev-eral ran-dom sam-ples to adepth of2-4 inches,mix thesein a buck-et, air dry,

and then bring in twocups of the soil mix fortesting. Test the back-yard separate from thefront-yard samples.

Although the soil testmeasures several impor-tant elements, it does notmeasure nitrogen. Turfgrowth is highly depen-dent on nitrogen fertiliza-

tion, but applying nitro-gen at the wrong time orin heavy amounts mayseverely damage yourlawn. A general recom-mendation is to apply onepound actual nitrogenper 1,000 square feet foreach application. Thiscould be accomplishedby applying three poundsof ammonium nitrate(34-0-0), or 2.2 pounds ofurea (46-0-0), or 10pounds of 10-10-10 fertil-izer per 1,000 square feetof lawn.

Once your soil reachesa high level of phosphateand potash in the soil,you may not need to addmore phosphate or pot-ash for several years.When they are not need-

ed, a single nutrient ni-trogen fertilizer may bethe most effective andeconomical choice. Toomuch phosphorus, potas-sium or lime can causeproblems by interferingwith the uptake of othernutrients.

One to three applica-tions of fall and/or earlywinter nitrogen fertiliza-tion is best for fescues,Kentucky bluegrass, andryegrass because theygrow best during coolweather. The turf devel-ops a better root system,becomes very dense, and

has much better late falland early spring color ifnitrogen is applied in thefall. By eliminating orminimizing spring fertil-ization you: (1) Preventthe heavy flush ofgrowth that occurs withspring fertilization; (2)Reduce frequency of

mowing during spring;(3) Develop a better rootsystem; (4) Reduce dis-ease problems; and (5)Develop a more heat-tolerant, weed-free turf.

Long-time assistantstarter Larry McGlassonis now the starter at Turf-way Park.

McGlasson, 61, re-places Steve Peterman,who was Turfway’s start-er for seven years beforemoving to Calder RaceCourse in Florida.

McGlasson brings 27years of experience onthe starting gate to hisnewrole, but his skillwithhorses reaches back dec-ades earlier. He startedbygalloping horses on thefamily farm, LakeviewFarm in Hebron, Ky. Forabout 10 years, beginningin the mid-1970s, hetrained racehorses, many

owned by his father, Ga-len.

As starter, McGlassonis responsible to super-vise the gate crew as theyload horses into the start-ing gate before each raceand, once satisfied that allhorses are standingstraight and facing for-ward, to spring the mag-netic latches on the stallsto start the race. Beforeevery race, he checks adatabase of commentsfrom starters around thecountry, looking for re-ports of troublesome be-havior by horses his crewwill be handling.

Managing 1,100-poundracehorses in the tight

confines of a gate stall re-quires teamwork, horsesense, and nerve.

“I’ve always enjoyedthe adrenaline of workingon the gate, and I’ll missthat,” McGlasson said.“Whenahorse is fractiousand you win – when hegets out safely – that’sreally satisfying. It’s justsomething you have tolike to do.

“You also have to likeand trust the people youwork with. You neverknow when one of themwill have to get you out ofthere. A horse might bestriking out and throwinghis head, and you’re load-ed with him in that littlecage. The guys on thecrew have to click togeth-er. Safety depends on it.”

Duringhis years on thegate, McGlasson has en-dured kicks, broken ribs,a fractured sternum, andbroken fingers.Onehorsehe was handling reared inthe gate, flipped, and

landed on its back.McGlasson went downwith it, landing on thethrashing animal’s belly.

“One guy grabbed mycollar and another guygrabbedmy belt loop, and

they pulled me out,”McGlasson recalled.

“This is a ‘we’ proc-ess,” he said. “A starter’sonly as good as the guysworking with him. An as-sistant starter’s ability tounderstand ahorse’s bodylanguage and react to itinstantaneously is crucialto safety and a fair start.And the best riders haveGod’s gift of a sixth sense– they can anticipatewhen a horse is about todo something.”

A fair start protectsnot only the horses, jock-eys, and gate crew butalso the investment oftime and money by thehorses’ owners and train-ers and thewagering pub-lic. With so much ridingon the split second thegate opens, the starteralso works during train-ing hours to certify thathorses are able to standquietly in the gate whilethe field is loaded andbreak cleanly when the

doors open. Until a horseearns its “gate card,” it isnot allowed to race.

McGlasson supervisesschooling in the gate atTurfwayTuesday throughSaturday from7:30 to 9:30a.m. – about 30 horses perday on average. Althoughhorses of any age mayschool on any given day,McGlasson especiallynoted the teamwork re-quired to gate train younghorses, who begin theirlessons at the track asyoung as two years old.

“I enjoy working withthe babies, teaching themtheir manners,” he said.“Youhave to reward themwhen they’re good and letthem know when they’renot. You have to be able toread the difference be-tween fear and attitude.The horse will tell youwhen he’s ready for thenext step. I’m very fortu-nate that the guys school-ing horses with me thissummer at Turfway hadgood teachers. I’m alsofortunate to have a goodrelationship with thetrainers.

“I like the atmospherehere (during Turfway’soff-season),” he con-tinued. “For babies, it’squieter than a track dur-ing a live meet, and wecan take the time weneed.”

When he’s not workingwith racehorses, McGlas-son operates his family’sbusiness, Northern Ken-tucky Lakeview Farm, athriving truck farm nowin its fourth generation.His wife, Maggy, is a vet-erinarian who specializesin dressage horses andowns Lipazzaners. Thecouple has 19-year-oldtwins, Michael and Molly.

FORT MITCHELL — Yousee two personalities onthe stage. You hear twovoices. In ventriloquism,however, there’s reallyonly one living being onthe stage and they’re theonly one talking.

Yet, your eyes and earsare fooled, said ventrilo-quist Tom Ladshaw ofTaylor Mill.

“It’s also a bit ofmagic.

What you see is an illu-sion, but it’s not just visu-al, it’s an audio illusion,”hesaid. “Thesecret is thatthe ears are easily de-ceived.”

Ladshaw, a member ofthe board of advisers ofthe Vent Haven Museumin Fort Mitchell, has beendabbling in the art of ven-triloquism for 48 years.He started when only 5years old.

“Ventriloquism evokesin everyone a little bit oftheir childhood. It’s one ofthose things that’s just inour DNA,” Ladshaw said.“We respond to a puppet,an inanimate object thathas life breathed into it.

It’s like theclassic tale ‘Pi-nocchio,’ we want thatpuppet to come to life.”

According to Ladshaw,Vent Haven is focused onpreserving and educatingthe public on these quali-ties of ventriloquism.

Themuseum’scaretak-ers are reaching out to thecommunity next monthby hosting Double Talk2013, a family-friendlyshow featuring ventrilo-quist Ronn Lucas.

The showwill be 3 p.m.Sunday,Sept.15,at theNo-tre Dame Academy Per-forming Arts Center, 1699Hilton Drive, Park Hills.

Lucas mixes stand-upcomedy, improvisationand audience interactionwith “astonishing” voicegymnastics, Ladshaw ex-plained. He has appearedon and starred in nationalTV programs includingThe “Late Show with Da-vid Letterman,” “The To-night Show with Jay Le-no,” “L.A. Law” and“America’s FunniestHome Videos.”

“He is one of thoseguys that is capable ofconnecting with everymember of the audience,”saidLadshaw,producerofDouble Talk. “Whetheryou’re 5 years old seeingyour first showora senior

citizen, you’ll enjoy hisperformance. He getsright to theheartof theartform–hegoes for the fun-ny bone and touches theheart.”

The show will servetwo purposes, accordingto Lisa Sweasy, anothermember of the museum’sboard of directors.

The event serves as afundraiser for VentHaven, as a way to pro-mote the art of ventrilo-quism to locals and as away to raise awareness ofthe museum.

“VentHaven is really atreasure, the only one ofits kind in the world,”Sweasy said.

The museum housesmore than 700 figures,thousands of photographsand playbills, and a li-brary of books, some ofwhich date back to the1700s.

It all startedwith foun-der William Shakespearebetter known as W.S.Berger. Berger was a col-lector of ventriloquistmemorabilia. In 1973, hiscollection went public

with the opening of themuseum.

Themuseum, living upto its name, is a haven forventriloquists around theworld, especially duringthe annual internationalConVENTion that gathersmore than 400 ventrilo-quists.

Between 900 and 1,200people visit Vent Haveneach year. However, “lo-cally, not a lot of peoplecome,” Sweasy said.

She and Ladshaw arehoping this event, the sec-ond annual Double Talk,will change that.

“There’s this feelingthat just comes over youwhen you walk in the mu-seum,” Ladshaw said.“I’ve been going for yearsand it still happens to me.The museum offers an in-timate connection. Youdon’t just learn about theventriloquist, their pup-pet, and their act, but whothey were and what theywere about.”
