MUSIC LEGENDS B1Search is on for NKY Music Hall of Fame.

Smooth transition seen for 911Residents and property own-

ers in fourKentonCounty citiesshouldn’t have noticed anychange in serviceMarch1whenthose municipalities switchedover to the Kenton CountyEmergency CommunicationsCenter.

At 10 a.m., calls made to 911forpolice, fireand lifesquads inFortWright, ParkHills, LudlowandBromley switched fromEr-langer’s 911 emergency dis-patch center to the county’s.

“When you dial 911, it’ll ring

at theKenton County Emergen-cy Communications Center in-stead of ringing at Erlanger,”said Ed Butler, director of Ken-ton County’s consolidated dis-patch center.

For non-emergency calls,suchas a false alarmonyour se-curity system, call the KentonCounty Emergency Communi-cations Center at 859-356-3191.

To pick up police reports,residents should call their localpolice departments.

Fort Wright can be reachedat 859-331-2191; the Park HillsPolice Department, which alsocoversBromley, canbereached

at 859-431-6172; and Ludlow po-lice can be called at 859-261-8186.

The only hiccup in thechangeover may be on the partof the many alarm companiesserving property owners in thefour cities, Butler said.

“Therearesomanydifferentalarm companies out there thatsome of themmay not have got-ten notice to make changes,”Butler said.

“Those calls may go to Er-langer, but they’ll be trans-ferred to (the county’s 911 dis-patch system).”

If cellphone users’ 911 calls

go to Erlanger, they’ll also betransferred to theKentonCoun-tyEmergencyCommunicationsCenter.

On Sept. 30, Kenton County –which already dispatched forIndependence, Taylor Mill, un-incorporated county and a fewsmaller cities – took over Co-vington’s 911 dispatch service.

So far, that transition hasgone smoothly, Butler said.

OnFeb. 26Butler sent lettersto cities that have yet to join theconsolidated dispatch system,seeking confirmation of theirintentions forplanningandbud-get purposes.

Fort Mitchell, LakesidePark,CrestviewHills andEdge-wood are scheduled to join thecounty communications centerin October.

Elsmere and Villa Hills werescheduled to join next January.

Erlanger and CrescentSprings have chosen to staywith Erlanger’s 911 dispatchsystem.

“We’ll assess where we areevery month, and if things areprogressing a bit more rapidly,perhaps we’ll notify (Elsmereand Villa Hills) that they canjoin sooner, if that’s what theywant to do,” Butler said.

FORT MITCHELL — At lastyear’s B4Beating Cancer rallyJonah Steenken, then a fifth-grader at Beechwood Indepen-dent Schools, didn’t have hismop of copper, curly hair.

The 11-year-old was diag-nosed with leukemia on June11, 2011, and spent all but twoweeks of fifth grade not inschool.

This year he’s back, sittingin a sea of purple T-shirts, acontrast to the red attire mostBeechwood Tigers don, whileFort Mitchell Mayor Chris

Wiest declares March CancerAwareness Month in the city.

“I love this school, it’s awe-some,” Steenken said, addinghe’s happy to be there this yearbecause last year he was muchsicker.

He likes to playvideo gamesand baseball and is taking hisMake-A-Wish Foundation tripto theAtlantisResort in theBa-hamas soon.

Also, he has some advice foranyone touched by cancer.

“Just stride through it andkeep fighting,” he said.

Head football coach NoelRash knows how to fight can-

cer, after being diagnosed in2007 on the same day as hismother.

He spoke to students aboutbeing told he had cancer andhow he found the strength todeal with the diagnosis.

“It’s not like the movies andyou get this crescendo of mu-sic. Time doesn’t stop,” Rashsaid. “I got out of the buildingand almost got hit by a car ...the world doesn’t stop.”

B4Beating Cancer will raisemoney for the Leukemia andLymphomaSociety and featurea basketball game betweenteachers and students this

month.Business teacher Lori Eber-

le said initially the basketballgame was established to raisemoney for students in businessclasses.

The need to raise money fora cause hit home last year withSteenken’s diagnosis and $500was raised for cancer re-search.

“It’s reallymeaningful,” shesaid. “You don’t feel so selfishwhen you help other people.You feel like it’s a bettercause.”

EDGEWOOD — Theclaws of cancer can digdeep into Northern Ken-tucky families, somethingTina Mason knows first-hand.

The Alexandria resi-dent joined more than 30people in a conferenceroom at St. ElizabethHealthcare in Edgewoodon Feb. 27 to kick off acancer study that couldlead to new takes on can-cer prevention.

“Cancer touched ourlives,” said Mason, whoworks for St. Elizabeth.“My mother, my father,my brother. My husbandjust passed away lastMarch. It’s hit my lifepretty hard.”

St. Elizabeth and theAmerican Cancer SocietyarehopingtohitbackwithCancer PreventionStudy-3, research bothgroups hope will bringmore people more birth-days.

Previous cancer pre-vention studies havelinked smoking to devel-oping cancer. This studywill look at lifestyle fac-tors that could be causes.

The only thing thegroups need are volun-teers, ages 30-65, whohaven’t been diagnosedwith cancer to offer sometime for the study.

“Thirty years ago, 40years ago research linkedsmoking to cancer, nowit’s a ‘duh’ moment,” saidEric Walker, associate di-

rector for marketing andcommunications with theAmerican Cancer Soci-ety’s mid-south division.

Hoping to enroll 500people in the area, so far325 have signed up to takepart. All that’s required ofparticipants is an initialblood sample and waist

measurement, followedby surveys they will re-ceive over the next 20years.

Enrolling only takesabout 30 minutes, saidAmerican Cancer SocietyrepresentativeMatt Vam-vas.

Volunteers, like Caro-

lyn Eickhoff of Florence,are eager to help.

“I just think this is anexciting thing that canreally just change a lot ofthings going on,” she said.“I want to be part of this.”

Mason, who runs a Re-lay for Life in CampbellCounty, agrees.

Mayor Diane Whalenof Florence and CathyHalloran, an 11-yearbreast cancer survivor,also spoke about why peo-ple should take part in thestudy.

“We can make historytogether, we are here forone purpose, also to takecare of one another,” Hal-loran said.

ERLANGER — Ifyou’re used to lightingupoutsideKentonCoun-ty Public Library loca-tions in Covington, Er-langer and Independ-ence get ready for themto go smoke-free thisApril.

Patrons are beingasked to butt out start-ing April 1. But officialswith the library knowit’s hard to quit, sothey’re teaming up withRemke biggs to sponsorsmoking cessation ses-sions.

Starting Feb. 25 Con-nie Flynn and DottiePleiness of Remkebigg’swill facilitate a13-week program that fol-lows theCooper/Claytonmethod of smoking ces-sation at the Erlangerbranch of the library.

Flynn said the Coop-er/Clayton method at-tacks smoking with sci-ence and focuses on dif-ferent aspects of the ad-diction includingchanging behaviors as-sociated with action.

“(If you think) aftersupper I have to have acigarette and then thebehavior changes comeinto play,” she ex-plained. “(It becomes)what can I replace nico-tine with? So now aftersupper instead of hav-ing a cigarette, you gofor a walk.”

The library’s boarddecided to go smoke-free toprovideahealthi-er environment, saidRobin Klaene, public re-lationsanddevelopmentdirector, and it wants tohelp employees quit,too.

Remke bigg’s has a

smoking cessation pro-gram for employees thelibrary liked, so theyteamedupwith the com-pany.

Employees who aresmokers, like JessicaJohnson of Covington,look at the classes as anopportunity.

“It made me reallyhappy when they saidthey are going smoke-free and looking intosmoking cessation pro-grams for you all,” saidJohnson, who works incirculation.

The 36-year-old hasonly quit once since shestarted lighting up over20 years ago, but she’sdetermined to quit forgood.

Another co-workerwill be joining her in Er-langer, which will pro-vide support.

“It’s going to be niceto kind of have a buddythere to work throughit,” she said.

For Johnson,who losther father and grandfa-ther to lung cancer, thebenefits of quittingsmoking are vast andbutting out will save hera large amount fromeach paycheck.

“My cigarettes wentup. I was paying $18 acarton. I buy a generickind that’s made aroundhere,” she said. “Over-night itwent up to $32. IfI buy two or three car-tonsamonth that’s$100Icould save for a vaca-tion.”

Although she’s con-cerned about losing herstress relief, Johnson’sdetermined to see theprogram through andquit for good.

“I’m going to behealthier, hopefully myblood pressure will godown and I’m going tosave money,” she said.“One thing I did noticewhen I smoked beforeand when I quit, itsounds weird, but youstink and don’t realizeit.”

From police and doc-tors to schools and fam-ilies, many throughoutNorthern Kentucky areaffected by an increasingnumber of local residentsstrugglingwith addiction.

With heroin-related in-cidents and drug over-dose deaths on the rise,several groups are com-ing together to take astand against the epidem-ic and discuss what theycan do to help.

Nearly 100 communitymembers gathered at theGrateful Life Center inErlangerFeb. 28 topartic-ipate in the first meetingof the newly rebornNorthernKentuckyChap-ter of People AdvocatingRecovery (PAR), part of astatewideadvocacygroupworking to help thosestrugglingwith addiction.

“This is our very firstfocus group, so it’s verymuch the ground floor op-eration for the NorthernKentucky Chapter ofPAR,”saidJasonMerrick,chair of the group.

Before breaking intosmaller groups towork onvarious aspects ofPAR in-cluding membership,fundraising, legislationand education, the groupheard fromBellevue phy-sician Jeremy Engel, who

shed some light on the ad-diction issues in the areaandwhatneedstobedone.

“The biggest issue weneed toaddress in the lackof available treatment,”Engel said. “Treatmentcenters regionally areoverwhelmed and under-funded.”

Engel said as an orga-nized group, they have abetter chance of address-ing the area’s issuesthrough legislation andeducation.

“You need to develop aclearly defined politicalprocess tomakesureyourthoughts are heard,” En-gel told the group.

DaytonresidentBritta-ny Spitler, who helpedhostananti-heroinrally inCovington last summer,said she hopes that by

bringing so many differ-ent people together, PARcan really make a differ-ence.

“With all of these dif-ferent people coming to-gether that havedifferentideas, hopefully we canget a broader perspectiveand really address the ad-diction issues inNorthernKentucky,” Spitler said.

In Silver Grove, about30 local residents, electedofficials and organizerscame together for thefirst town hall meeting ofthe Campbell CountyDrug Free Alliance to dis-cuss the drug issues in thearea.

The alliance, formed in2007, is made up of repre-sentatives from severalCampbell County busi-nesses, schools and or-

ganizations.“Our focus is to make

Campbell County ahealthy place for kids andfamilies,” said memberJulie Kaeff, family re-source youth service cen-ter director for SilverGrove Schools. “It takes agroup effort for us ... toconquer this.”

During the meeting,speakers talked abouttheir involvement withthe efforts to address sub-

stance issues, includingDr. Mina “Mike” Kalfas,who explained what opi-ates like heroin do to thebrain, what improve-ments need to be made tothe treatmentprocessandthe importance of com-munity groups gatheringto talk about this issue.

“This is what we need,weneedacommunity thatstands up to this,” Kalfassaid.

Local recovery advo-cate Charlotte Wething-ton, who lost her son to aheroin overdose, gavesome advice to parents inthe crowd, urging them tobe attentive with theirchildren and look for

signs of drug abuse.“If you think there is

something wrong, thereprobably is, and you needto act on it now,”Wething-ton said.

Bill Mark, director ofthe Northern KentuckyDrug Strike Force, saidheroin trafficking makesup the majority of thecases the strike forceworks on these days.

“You all are living inthe heroin capital of Ken-tucky,” Mark said. “Youare at the epicenter of anepidemic.”

She said shesubmitted her reservation forthe trunk from The Civil WarTrust in Washington D.C. inthe early fall, and althoughwinterweather delayed its ar-rival by a week, her studentswere excited about exploringits contents.

Kyley Phillips said thetrunk and its enclosed activ-ities were “awesomely cool.”

Jacob Faulconer looked atphotos of 10 and 12-year-oldswho were injured, and wasstunned that kids his agefought in the war.

While Tyler Musick triedon a Confederate uniform, hesaid it was “comfortable,” butnothis favoritepartof thepro-ject.

“My favorite part is thebullets. They have all differ-ent types of bullets they usedin the Civil War,” he said.

ForLilyBaker,her favoritepartwas somethingmore per-sonal.

“My favorite part is learn-ing about what the soldiershad when they went on thebattlefield. Being a Christian,learning that they had a pray-er book was really cool,” shesaid.

According toTheCivilWarTrust website,www.civilwar.org, the trunkcan contain uniforms, flags,

hardtack and coffee rations, acanteen, mourning ribbons,reproduction paperwork,maps andmoney, CDs of peri-od music, and a haversackcontainingplaying cards, a tincup, toothbrush, a prayerbook and a a small pouch con-taining needle, thread andbuttons, called a “housewife.”

CRESCENT SPRINGS — At St.Joseph School, learning historyis not as cool as living it.

Sixth-grade students at theCatholic school stepped into theshoesofhistorical figures, afterresearching their lives andlearning of their accomplish-ments. During the school’s“Wax Museum,” those studentsembodiedtheirfamouscounter-parts to tell their tales.

Jonah Fessler wore a cloakand beret to portray artist andinventor Leonardo da Vinci. Hesaid he chose da Vinci, “Be-causehe’s agreat inventor and Iwant to be an inventor when Igrow up.”

Teacher Maria Kanter saidstudents were able to chooseanyone they felt had “contribut-ed to society” for the annualevent, and that the process cov-ers many different learningabilities.

“They have to research andwrite a speech,memorize it andbe able to perform it in front ofan audience,” she said. “It’s animportant skill to be able tospeak in front of others.”

Lucy Pastura, who re-searched and embodied AmeliaEarhart for the museum, saidshe liked learning about thefamous female pilot, but thatwasn’t her favorite part of theproject.

“I like thecostume,”shesaid.She wore a leather hat, jacketand boots. “Writing the speech

was really hard, but I’m reallyhappy with it. I like telling it.”

Otherstudentspresented thestoriesofJohnF.Kennedy,Shir-ley Temple, Elvis, Bill Gates,Steve Jobs, Wilbur Wright, Sa-cajawea, Vince Lombardi, An-nie Oakley and others.

Blake Helson sported abright orange jumpsuit in hisportrayal of astronaut NeilArmstrong. He’d like to wear areal space suit one day.

“I wanted to learn about thefirst man on themoon,” he said.“I’d like to be an astronaut. Itwould be a fun job.”

PARK HILLS — They madeone of the biggest shots of theseason with a Nick Ruthsatzhalfcourt heave againstHolmes to win the 35th Dis-trict Tournament.

The Covington Catholicbasketball team couldn’t sum-mon similar magic in a re-match for theNinthRegion ti-tle. TheColonelsmissed threelate shots, the last anotherhalf-courter, in a 62-60 loss toHolmes in a scintillating re-gional final in front of 6,235fans March 3 at the Bank ofKentucky Center.

The Colonels finished theseason 27-7 and just missedtheir first trip to the Sweet 16since 2006.

Nick Fredrick and BenHeppler missed mid-rangejumpers in the final 15 sec-onds with the Colonels downby a point. Heppler’s came af-ter an aggressive drive to thehoop from Ruthsatz, Cov-Cath’s standout junior pointguard, who after being dou-ble-teamed, kicked the ballout to the junior forward onthe baseline.

“Yougot togive themalooklike that,” said head coachScott Ruthsatz, also Nick’s fa-ther. “Nickmade the right de-cision inpassing it. Iknowhe’sprobably kicking himselfright now, but it’s the rightplay to make. In the end, it’s ateam game. Sooner or later,somebodywill hit a shot. Theyjust didn’t go in tonight. Ourguys are so smart andwork sohard. I’m proud of them.”

The junior led CovCathwith 19 points. Senior SawyerPauly had 15 and senior NickFredrick posted 13.

Ruthsatz and Fredrickwere hot from the field early,combining for 22 points to liftthe Colonels to a 26-15 lead inthe secondquarter.Bothhadapair of three-pointers in therun.

Holmes rallied but CovCath still led by four at thehalf, 35-31. Holmes then out-scored the Colonels17-9 in thethird period, with the Bull-dogs draining four of theirnine treys in the period.

Holmes started the fourth pe-riodwith five quick points, in-cluding another trey by Da-quan Palmer, to lead by nine.

Two baskets by Pauly andtwopointseachfromRuthsatzand junior guard Nate Wich-mann quickly pulled CovCathwithin one at 53-52, but theColonels were never able totie or pull ahead. Pauly hadseven points in the fourthquarter and Fredrick had alate three-pointer to make it61-60.

Holmes sophomore guardJames Bolden, who has start-ed to drawDivision I interest,scored 26 points for the Bull-dogs, with three big three-pointers and 11-of-14 from thefree-throw line.

“I thought we didn’t do aswellaswedid(defendinghim)the last time,” Scott Ruthsatzsaid. “I thought we were a lit-tle too relaxed with him. Wereally got tomake sure he hasa hard time scoring. The sec-ond time we played them, itwas 12 minutes before hescored his first basket. Here,it was the first minute or two.But you have to give themcredit. Palmer made somehuge threes.”

MAYSVILLE—The Scott boysbasketball team finished onegame short of the Sweet 16, butthe Eagles were happy with theprogress they made.

Scott lost 68-37 to Montgo-mery County March 2 in the10th Region final, finishing theseason 16-15. It was the Eagles’first time in the 10th Region fi-nal in their eight years in the re-gion.

SeniorforwardNickJacksonfinished the year averagingmore than 16 points a game andbecame part of the 1,000-pointclubduringScott’s 37thDistricttrip.

“It feels great,” Jackson saidafter Scott’s win over HarrisonCounty in the semifinals.“We’re the first team in Scotthistory tomake it to the10thRe-gion final. I just love my broth-ers. I love my teammates.They’re like my family - Iwouldn’t be anything withoutthem.Thechemistrywehave inthe locker room,wealways jokearound but when it’s time to getserious, we get serious.”

Jackson scored sevenagainst Montgomery and 21against Harrison in the semis.TheEaglesbeatHarrison58-44.Eric Pouncy had nine pointsagainst Harrison and KevinJehn, seven.

“The intensitywehad,”Jack-son said after the semi. “Ourcrowd was big and our benchwas just huge for us. Theywerevery energetic and people juststepped up and made plays.”

Jackson was a source of keyplays all year.

“(Jackson) is our heart andsoul, he really is,” said headcoachBradCarr. “Whenhedoessomething well, the kids getreally confident. If he blocks ashot or makes a shot, he’s theleader. Our other kids steppedup, especially defensively.”

Other seniors are Eric Poun-cy, Tyler Buckner, Travis Clary,Josh Felts, Kevin Jehn, LukaJovicic, Collin Myers and PeteOhmer.

“I’m very proud of our kidsand I’m very happy for thesekids,” Carr said after theHarri-son win. “They had a lot of ex-pectations put on them. Wewere picked second in the re-

gion and I think that was toolofty for them.Weplayedaverychallenging schedule, whichdoesn’t allow themmuch oppor-tunity to become confident. Atthe same time, it prepares youfor games like this.”

Junior center KameronCrim, a football linemangettingDivision I looks, had 14 pointsagainst Augusta in the quarter-finals and had a key scoringspurt against Harrison witheight points, six in the third pe-riod.

“He’s a load in there,” Carrsaid. “He’s 6-4, 265, 270 pounds.He’s athletic and pretty nimble,he gets off his feet pretty quick-ly. He’s going to pose a lot ofproblems for them. If they’regoing to play behind him in thepost, he’ll be able to sit andburypeople. When he has a lot of en-ergy out there, he’s a very goodplayer.”

Jehn had 13 points againstAugusta in a 62-59 win.

Montgomery County en-tered the Sweet 16 with a 31-4record. The Indians have one offive Mr. Basketball finalists in6-6 forward Omar Prewitt, whoscored 28 against Scott. Mont-gomeryalso has ahost of talent-ed guards.

“They’re the best team in theregion,”CarrsaidbeforehisEa-gles’ meeting with the Indians.“They have a great coach, theyhave the best player in the re-gion in Omar Prewitt, theyprobably have the second bestplayer in Tyler Jones, and theyprobably have the third bestplayer in Darius Jones.”

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS —Theymaynot get any postsea-son memories this year. How-ever, the last home game wasstorybook quality for theNorthern Kentucky Univer-sity women’s basketball team.

The Norse beat Jackson-ville 76-71 in overtime March2 at the Bank of KentuckyCenter. NKU is 15-11 andfourth place in the AtlanticSun Conference at 12-6. TheNorse ended their conferencecampaignwith10wins in theirfinal 12 games.

“What a great way for ourseniors to go out,” said NKUhead coach Dawn Plitzuweit.“You can’t ask for a more spe-cialwayforthemtocapoff theseason. Our four seniors wereleaders the entire season forus and the nucleus of our ef-forts.”

The Norse are ineligible

for theAtlanticSunandNCAATournaments but with theirwinning record can be select-ed for the two other postsea-sontourneys, theWomen’sNa-tional Invitational Tourna-ment and College BasketballInvitational (CBI). NKU offi-cials estimate at least a slightchance for a CBI bid.

Either way, it was a memo-rable home finish for NKU’sfour seniors: Ellen Holton, Ti-ara Hopper, Kelsey Simpsonand Glen Este graduate Jai-mie Hamlet.

NKUwas four points downwith 22 seconds left regula-tion. Two free throws byChristine Roush brought theNorse within two. Then afterJacksonvillemissed the front-end of a one-and-one free-throw opportunity, the Norseraced downcourt. Juniorguard Kayla Thacker passedto Holton for a wide open lay-

“I was struggling beforewith turnovers,” she said. “Iwas real hesitant to shoot for awhile but then I felt if I’mopenI’m going to shoot it.”

Said Levandusky: “Paigehas always been our pointguard. She’s led us a lot. Shehas times when she turns itover but at no time do we everdoubt her and her confidenceand ability. She’s a great pointguard and she sees the floorvery well.”

Forward Haylee Smith had11 points and 13 rebounds.Guard Carlee Clemons had

five points. Junior Elly Oglehad six points and primaryguarding on Highlands starLeah Schaefer, who is playingforXavier next year. Schaeferhad 11 points, most coming af-ter Voskuhl’s decisive run.

NDAshot just under 50per-cent from the floor (24-49).Highlands shot 30 percent (13-43).

The Pandas raced throughthe tourneywith threewins byan average of 30 points. Stay-ing on that roll will be difficultwith a 10-day break fromgames, but the rest of theSweet 16 field has to make thesame journey.

“I think it’s good to give thegirls a little break, get thembackinthegymtoworkonfun-damentals,” Levandusky said.“It mentally allows them to re-fresh. Sometimes you want tokeep going but that’s how thecookie crumbles.”

Nancy DalyEDITOR’SNOTEBOOK

The commonwealth ofKentucky faces great chal-lenges in how to allocate lim-ited government resourceseffectively. But cuts in pro-grams that directly impactthousands of low-income fam-ilies deserve public discussion

and reconsid-eration. Theseare familieswho are try-ing their bestto rise into themiddle class,but just needa little, well-placed help todo that.

The Ken-tucky Cabinetfor Healthand Family

Services recently announceddevastating cuts to the ChildCare Assistance program. Thecuts to child care assistanceare drastic and short-sighted.Eligibility is being cut from150 percent of poverty to 100percent. (The current povertyrate is equal to $23,550 for afamily of four.)

The cuts will also freezeintake of new families to theprogram, unless they are inthe foster care system or havean open child abuse case. Forfamilies that only receiveassistance during the summermonths while their childrenare out of school and needsupervision, the cuts will like-ly take them by surprise.

The Child Care Assistanceprogram helps low-incomeparents pay for the high costsof child care so that they canwork or attend post-secondaryeducation. It is one of only afew assistance programs thatgive the disadvantaged anopportunity to move beyondtheir current circumstances.

In addition to helping par-ents stay in the workforce,their children gain access toquality educational experi-ences at licensed child careproviders. The research isvery clear: children who at-tend quality community-basedcare are more likely to enterkindergarten ready to suc-ceed. Children who start kin-dergarten academically be-hind are likely to remain be-hind throughout their school

years.Helping low-wage families

afford quality child care sothey can work or go to schoolis worthwhile on its own mer-its. But the benefits of thechild care assistance programextend beyond just the family,affecting business, employ-ment and our community.Child care workers are likelyto lose their jobs as centersimpacted by the cuts areforced to scale back or close,which will impact our eco-nomic recovery. Workingparents who cannot find al-ternative arrangements fortheir older children may beforced to leave them unsu-pervised between school andwork, creating “latch-key”situations, that has beenshown to lead to poor schoolperformance, juvenile crimeand high-risk activity.

Long-term, taking awaythis assistance is a step back-ward for the working poor intheir quest to become self-reliant and provide a betterfuture for their children. Thestate is creating a scenariowhere these families are morefinancially secure if they stopworking and stay home.

Low-wage parents, likeparents everywhere, want thebest for their children. Yet,without this type of assis-tance, they may be forced toreturn to a reliance on safetynet providers for help withfood, rent, utilities, and otherbasic needs.

Our children and our com-munity cannot afford to re-duce this valuable resourcefor families who are trying toimprove their futures. With somany unintended conse-quences, we must find anoth-er way. Our state could ear-mark general funds to staveoff these cuts, or even pass aspecial appropriation to keepour families and communitieswhole and our children safe.

If you are concerned aboutchild care assistance cuts,please contact your state leg-islators and Governor Be-shear to let your voice beheard.

Florence Tandy is executive direc-tor of Northern Kentucky Communi-ty Action Commission.

Unintendedconsequences tochild care cuts

FlorenceTandyCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST

Recent news stories havepresented the possibility ofoutsourcing police servicefor Villa Hills. I am adamant-ly opposed to this.

The most basic service acity provides for its resi-dents is public safety. Sincethe city’s founding nearly 51years ago we have had apolice department staffed bya dedicated and professionalforce. We have seen an in-crease in crime over the pastyear and the police depart-ment hasn’t been fullystaffed since the end of 2010.

It should concern the com-munity that Mayor Martinhasn’t brought up the issue ofoutsourcing until he wasrecently challenged to an-swer questions about therumors. He said he’s been“telling everyone all along”that he was approached byfour agencies over the pasttwo years regarding out-sourcing. Who is “everyone”?It seems more people fromoutside of Villa Hills wereaware of this before the resi-dents. At the January councilmeeting Judge-executiveArlinghaus said, “Who knowswhere your police depart-ment will be next year.” Does

he knowsomething wedon’t? Howcan we beconfidentMayor Mar-tin is trulyacting in thecity’s bestinterest? Hehas been lessthan forth-coming on

many issues, so can we ex-pect him to be any differenton this one?

Mayor Martin unsuccess-fully sued two of our policeofficers for his forgery ar-rest and is currently beingsued by an officer for retalia-tion. It is my belief that themayor’s actions against thepolice department (i.e., notfully staffing it after he tookoffice, refusing to give areason for not doing so, des-ignating the newest officeras non-hazardous, and nowexploring outsourcing), isjust a means to an end forMayor Martin to exact re-venge on our police depart-ment. These acts jeopardizethe safety of the citizens.

Recent history illustratesthat cities outsourcing police

protection have not been allthat successful: Ludlowserved Bromley, but nowBromley is served by ParkHills due to Ludlow’s in-creased cost at contract re-newal. Southgate ended itsmerger with HighlandHeights. I hear that residentsof Crescent Springs are un-happy with Erlanger’s re-sponse time. Once the de-partment is dissolved, it willbe costly to start it back up.

Villa Hills needs its ownpolice department and itshould be fully staffed. Ifyou agree with me, be awarecouncil is beginning to draftthe budget for the upcomingfiscal year. I urge you toattend the City Council meet-ing at 7 p.m. Wednesday,March 20, and make a publiccomment to let council knowyour feelings on this issue.Make the time to attend andlet your opinion be heard.There is no need to pursueoutsourcing talks if the citi-zens want their police de-partment to remain in thecity of Villa Hills.

Keep Villa Hills police force

Avoid sequestrationAswemove ahead in this

tax-filing season, I wonderhowmany people in our com-munity will have difficultygetting the help they needfrom the IRS to answer taxquestions. I’m afraid the num-ber will be substantial sinceCongress failed to avoid thefederal budget cuts occurringbecause of sequestration.

As president of Chapter 73of the National Treasury Em-ployees Union, I can tell youthat IRS employees want toserve the public efficientlyand effectively – but are work-ing this filing season with5,000 fewer employees thanjust two years ago. Now, alongwith other government em-ployees, mymembers face theprospect of days of unpaidfurlough because of seques-tration.

What’s so frustrating is thatfederal workers already havecontributed $103 billion todeficit reduction and econom-ic recovery –more than anyother group— yet are amongthe first to be hit by the severebudget cuts under sequestra-

tion. Themuch better path forus all would be to enact a bal-anced deficit reductionmea-sure.

Support the policeThere be little doubt now of

the Villa Hills mayor’s con-tinued vendetta against theVilla Hills Police Departmentthat dates back to when themayor was arrested on forg-ery charges in addition to thetestimony from the policedepartment during themay-or’s removal hearing.

Themayor’s plan all alonghas been to eliminate the po-lice department as he haspurposely kept the depart-ment understaffed for thetwo-plus years he has beenmayor. If you doubt themayorall along had plans to eliminatethe police department and thathe probably even discussedthis with the Kenton CountyJudge-executive Steve Arling-haus, then why did the judge-executive, when he addressedVilla Hills council in January,say, “Who knows where your

police department is going tobe by the end of the year.”

With three councilpersonson council apparently favoringeliminating our police depart-ment and three apparentlyagainst, this wouldmean a tievote with themayor breakingthe tie. Just what do you thinkthemayor’s vote would be?

If concerned residents VillaHills value the Villa Hills Po-lice Department and want tomaintain excellent responsetime rather than longer re-sponse times by another city’spolice department when youmay need it and want con-tinued visibility on the streetsof Villa Hills versus sporadicvisibility by another city orthe county, then you better“Stand Up and BeHeard orFace the Consequences.”

Let themayor and councilknow you support our policedepartment by attending coun-cil meetings on the thirdWednesday of eachmonth andby emailing council and themayor and by calling the CityBuilding.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

SEARCH IS ON FOR

MUSIC LEGENDSCOLD SPRING—The equip-

ment’s all set up, and it’s a halfhour before Jerry Gifford of theband Strange Brew takes to themicrophone to open the evening’sentertainment with the AllmanBrothers’ “Melissa.”

Gifford, who’s been playingrock and roll since the 1960s,takes a fewmoments to talk abouthis latest passion.

A Northern KentuckyMusicHall of Fame is long overdue, hesays.

So this year a group called theNorthern KentuckyMusic Leg-ends Committee will partner withthe Behringer-CrawfordMuseumin Covington to create an exhibitabout local and national musiclegends fromNorthern Kentucky.

“Musicians are never remem-bered. Athletes always seem to beremembered. But we always for-get about the musicians,” Giffordsaid. “In Northern Kentuckywhich is Kenton, Campbell andBoone we have so many of themwho have passed and no oneknows who they are and this is atribute to all the guys who havededicated their life to entertainingthe people of Northern Kentucky.”

As the bar filled up at Raniero’sPizza before Strange Brew’s set,Gifford was joined by CharlieColeman of Alexandria. Colemanis known for broadcasting theNorthern Kentucky Sports Leg-ends show on ICN6 cable televi-sion for nine years. He’s givingthe Music Legends Committeetechnical and moral support.

Coleman remembers seeingGifford perform at a bar calledRiverside in 1967, back when theDayton musician – and now a citycouncilman – had hair down to hisshoulders.

Looking back over the decades

the friends had no shortage ofideas for consideration in theMusic Hall of Fame.

One of the first mentioned isBobbyMackey, a traditional coun-try singer whose career hasspanned 40 years, operating Bob-byMackey’s Music World in Wild-er since 1978.

Twins Bill and Al Stith of FortThomas played in a band calledThe Corvairs that was popular inGreater Cincinnati in the early1960s.

The country-rock band PurePrairie League had ties to North-ern Kentucky. Campbell CountyCircuit Court JudgeMickey Foell-ger got his start playing drums atage 13, and played in New Lime, aColumbia Records act, and TheApple Butter Band, which touredwith the Beach Boys.

More recently GaryWintersfrom Fort Thomas played trumpetfor the American Idol orchestraand is touring worldwide withFredWesley and the New JB’s.

Adrian Belew, a rock guitarist

best known for his work with KingCrimson, went to Ludlow HighSchool. Just last week the rockband Nine Inch Nails announcedBelew will join its summer tour.

Rick Fuchs, manager of WillisMusic Co. in Florence, had anoth-er suggestion for the Music Hallof Fame.

“I think that Gene Thompsonwould be a very good candidatefor that,” Fuchs said. “He is Mr.Bluegrass for this area and he’sbeen very instrumental in bring-ing bluegrass artists to this areafor over 40 years.”

Tiffany Hoppenjans, Behrin-ger-CrawfordMuseum’s curatorof exhibits and collections, ispleased the partnership is gener-ating so many ideas for the North-ern KentuckyMusic LegendsExhibit.

“We want to highlight the peo-ple from Northern Kentucky who

have been involved in musicthroughout their lives and whohave made it on the national scenebut primarily those that are locallegends – the teachers, the localbands, the music venue owners,”she said. The exhibit from June 2to Sept. 1will also have an in-duction ceremony, concerts andopen mic nights associated withthe Music Hall of Fame.

The Northern KentuckyMusicLegends exhibit will highlightperformers, bands, DJs, compos-ers, lyricists and other musicalartists from Northern Kentuckywho have spent 20 or more yearssharing music with the public.

Word is spreading, all the wayto Nashville.

Hoppenjans will meet in Marchwith performing artist DonnaFrost of Nashville who does atribute show honoring the musicof Skeeter Davis. Davis, bornMary Frances Penick in DryRidge, later moved to Erlangerand went to Dixie Heights HighSchool in the late 1940s. There sheformed a group known as theDavis Sisters signed by RCA Vic-tor. As a solo act, Skeeter Davisachieved crossover success in1963 with her song “The End ofthe World.” She died in 2004.

“I am so very excited about theBehringer-CrawfordMuseum’sexhibit featuring my friend Skee-ter Davis along with other notablemusic stars from Northern Ken-tucky,” said Frost, who touredwith Davis and has many of heroriginal costumes. “She would beso pleased and I think it is so ap-propriate as this is the 60th anni-versary of ‘I Forgot More ThanYou’ll Ever Know’ by the DavisSisters.”

According to Frost, “It is sovery important to keep the musicand memories alive of the greatartists who are no longer with us.”

My friend Laura Noeand I were chatting acouple of weeks ago. Sheand husband Oakleywere having their mapletrees tapped for the an-nual pancake breakfastat Pattison Park here inClermont County.

Laurahad me soenthusedabout tap-ping mapletrees thatI’m deter-mined nextyear to tapours. Actu-ally, we didtap ourtrees when

my boys were little, buthad no idea just how togo about it and I recallwe got so little sap thatwe just stuck our fingersin it and tasted it raw.

Tapping maple trees isan ancient art. Laura toldme tapping should bedone in mid to late winter– nights in the 20s anddays sunny and in the 40s– so it’s a timely venture.Our Tristate park dis-tricts hold lots of funmaple syrup events forthe family, so I hope youtake advantage.

The recipes requestedfor this week fell intotune, as well. I had re-quests for “a differentsalad dressing for Easterthat’s not too heavy” anda request for “one morerecipe for chunky grano-la.” I’ve shared my origi-nal recipe for chunkygranola before but havean even chunkier onetoday.

Maple and balsamicsalad dressing

Serve over mixed

greens or baby spinachwith thinly sliced applesor strawberries, thinlysliced red onion and fetacheese. Good served witha sprinkling of candied orhoneyed nuts on top.Check out my blog forthat recipe.

Whisk together:1⁄3cup white balsamicvinegar or rice winevinegar

3 tablespoons pure maplesyrup or to taste (Fortesting, I used KrogerPrivate Selection )

1 tablespoon DijonmustardSalt and pepper to taste1⁄2cup extra virgin olive oil

Chunkymaplegranola

I was at first going tocall this “Bible granola”since so many ingredi-ents are mentioned in theBible. This is my chunki-est yet – really goodchunks but remember,you will always havesome flaking. Be careful

when breaking apart.Step by step photos areon my blog at Cincin-nati.Com/blogs.

Mix together:

4 cups old fashioned oats11⁄2cups sliced almonds orfavorite nuts

1 cupmixed seeds: yourchoice of sesame, flax,millet, chia, hemp orsunflower seeds (seeRita’s tip)

CoatingWhisk together and

add the smaller amountlisted at first, then tasteand add more if you like.1⁄2to 2⁄3cup light brown sugar1⁄2cup extra virgin olive oil1⁄2cupmaple syrup or honey2-3 teaspoons vanilla1⁄2teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 325degrees. Put a piece ofparchment on large cook-ie sheet (about 15 inchesby 12 inches). Sprayparchment.

Pour coating over oat

mixture. Pour onto panand pat down evenly andfirmly. This is importantto make the granolachunk up later. Bake30-35 minutes. Let cooland break into chunks. Iuse an offset spatula.

This granola alsomakes a delicious cereal,no sugar needed!

Tip from Rita’skitchen

You can use any com-bo of seeds, even all sun-flower. Millet gives adelicious crunch andcontains protein and iron.Chia, like flax, is a greatsource of Omega 3s, butdoesn’t have to be groundto get the benefit. It alsoabsorbs a lot of waterand curbs the appetite.Hemp is not what youthink, it comes from acompletely differentplant. Huge amounts ofOmega 3s and proteinthere, too.

A new insurancescam that has beenwidespread across thestate is being reportedin Northern Kentucky.

The scam is aimed atseniors who need sup-plemental health insur-ance,accordingtoAnge-la S. Zeek ofLegalAid oftheBluegrass inLexing-ton.

“A group callingthemselves Senior Solu-tions Insurance (also go-ing by Senior Care In-surance in other areas)isgoingdoor todoor, andcalling senior citizens toget them to buy this sup-plemental insurance.”said Zeek in an email tosocial service agenciesacross Kentucky.

“They are promisingthings such prescrip-tions being paid 100 per-cent and sending in anurse to do an ‘evalua-tion’andaskingformon-ey up front. The phonenumber they are givingis not legitimate, andthis insurance is obvi-ously not covering allthat they are promis-ing.”

Officials at SeniorServices of NorthernKentucky say they have

also received calls fromconcerned seniors re-porting that door-to-door salespeople havebeen working the areaclaiming to be from or-ganizations with namesvery similar to SSNK.The salespeople are of-fering insurance or oth-er services.

Any sen-iors who believe theyhave been contacted bysomeone claiming to befrom SSNK, should callthe agency immediatelyat 859-491-0522 to reportthe incident.
