FORT THOMAS — TheCampbell County Rotarywill disband March 31 un-less the club increases itsmembership

The club, a chapter ofRotary International,meets at 12:30 p.m. eachWednesday at HighlandCountry Club in FortThomas. Rotary in Camp-bellCounty isdowntosev-en members. At mostmeetings there is an audi-ence of four gathered tohear invited speakers,said club president ArndRehfuss of Alexandria.

The club needs a mini-mum of two or three peo-ple to joinasactivepartic-ipants byMarch 31or elsethe club will disband soremaining members can

join Rotary clubs in Co-vington, Erlanger, andFlorence, he said.

A retired high schoolbusiness teacher,Rehfusssaid he stays inRotarybe-cause the organizationworks tohelpothers local-ly and internationally.

“I enjoy the idea of be-ing part of a service or-ganization,” he said.

Rotary’s main interna-tional project, to eradi-cate Polio throughout theworld, is a cause the clubsupports with fundrais-ing. The club pitches in tohelp with fundraising forlocal causes whereverpossible, he said.

Campbell County’s Ro-tary has helped judge stu-dent entrepreneurshipcontests and raise moneyfor groups, includingNorthern Kentucky Spe-cial Olympics and thecountyFraternalOrder ofPolice’s Cops and KidsChristmas giving project.Member suggestions usu-ally lead to projects thegroup gets involves withlocally, Rehfuss said.

“To me that’s why youwant to grow because thepeople can bring ideas toyou,” he said.

Jerry Schneider ofBellevue, a member ofCampbell County’s clubsince 1981, said disband-ing seems inevitable. Ifthat happens, Schneiderplans to joinKentonCoun-ty Rotary, which meets inErlanger and has about 25members.

“In Campbell County

we’ve tried for the lastfive to seven years, wetried to build it back upand it just didn’t work,”Schneider said.

Campbell County Ro-tary Club was founded asthe Newport Rotary Clubin 1920. The club met inNewport and retained thecity’s name until 1995when it was changed tothe Fort Thomas-South-gate Rotary Club to re-flect where membership

was from, he said. After abrief switch back to theNewport Rotary name,the Campbell County Ro-tary name was adoptedaround 2000 in a bid todraw people from acrossthe county.

Schneider, a retiredmarketing employee forCincinnati Bell, said allservice clubs are taking ahit in membership.

Getting business peo-ple to joinRotaryhasbeentough as work demandsincrease for people andbusinesses cut back oncosts, he said. AndRotaryused to be themainstay ofthe community beforeother clubs with similarmissions started increas-ing in number, he said.

“What it was, it was agood deal the Rotary,”Schneider said. “The Ro-tary club helped the busi-nesses in the club. Itwas abusiness organization andit just drifted away.”

One reason for themembership decline isthe club draws from abedroom community

where many people com-mute to work, but he saidclub members also needto share credit for theyears of declining mem-bership.

“It seems like forwhat-ever reason, and blame iton the members too, wecouldn’t promote it,”Schneider said. “It kind ofdied.”

NEXTMEETINGThe next meeting of

the Campbell CountyRotary Club will be at12:30 p.m. Wednesday,Feb. 19, at HighlandCountry Club, 931 Alexan-dria Pike, Fort Thomas.Meetings are free foranyone to attend, andlunch will be available forpurchase.Robert Long, the CEO

of Baptist Life Communi-ties, is scheduled to dis-cuss plans to replace aNewport senior commu-nity by building a $40million senior communityin Alexandria.

SWAT Feb. 4.Carpenter, an officer

for Fort Thomas since2001, became a SWATteammember in 2003withNewport’s regional team;Bryant has been on aSWAT team for eightyears. Fort Thomas offi-cer Mike Dietz is also aSWAT teammember.

As a team leaders, bothBryant and Carpenterlead a team of five SWATteam officers when theunit responds to incidents,including hostage situa-tions and serving arrestwarrants.

Carpenter was part ofthe SWAT team that re-sponded to Michigan Ave-nue in LatoniaDec. 22 as aman fired rifle shots froma home’s upstairs windowin a standoff with police.

It was raining and coldduringstandoff that lastedalmost 20 hours, and partof SWAT team members’job is having all the equip-ment needed to stay on ascene, Carpenter said.

“You might be outsidefor hours without relief,”he said.

He packs SWAT gearwhile on duty in FortThomas to be ready for anassignment, which couldbebreachingdoors, snipertactics and executive pro-tection.

Carpenter said he en-joys the extra training hedoes to stay on the teamand the various tech-niques they practice.

“You know shootingwith a pistol or rifle is onething, and having a shieldin one hand and a pistol inanother (hand) and shoot-ing is quite somethingelse,” he said.

Fort Thomas PoliceChiefMike Daly said Bry-

ant and Carpenter werepromoted to team leadersafter demonstrating ashow of agility, precisionmarksmanship on a hand-gun and rifle course incor-porating range fitness,and attending a commandreview and interview.

Daly said he appreci-ates Kenton County Sher-iff ChuckKorzenborn giv-ing Fort Thomas the op-portunity to be part of theteam. The team followsNational Tactical OfficersAssociation standards andprocedures. Bringing spe-cialized units together isthe current way of doingbusiness, Daly said.

“The transition for usmeans better training andequipment and its betterfor the Fort Thomas resi-dents,”hesaid. “Asseen inthe Covington standoff re-cently,a largewell-trainedSWAT team is better suit-ed to withstand a pro-longed event.”

A regional approachmakes equipment andtoolsavailable thatdepart-mentswould not be able topurchase, he said.

Campbell County Po-lice Chief Keith Hill said

his department used towork with Newport’sSWAT team and left be-cause the unit was trend-ing toward a city-onlyteam.

Hill said Kenton Coun-ty was the most regionalteam and he liked howeach department pays aflat $2,000 membershipfee.Hesaid itmakessenseto move toward a singleNorthern KentuckySWAT team.

“I would have liked tosee all Campbell Countyon one team,” Hill said.

EricNelson, command-er of Kenton CountySWAT and a detective fortheKentonCountysheriff,said the majority of thework the team does is as-sisting with arrest andsearch warrants, and peo-ple who have barricadedthemselves inside a build-ing.

There are 19 officers,called operators, on theteam and two negotiators.It’s the largest KentonCountySWAThasbeen,hesaid. Small town agenciesarenotascapable todo thesame level of work by go-ing it alone, he said.

“This is more than asale. The people involved

“To be able to hardlymake it to the end of theblockwithout huffing andpuffing and then to beable to complete a 5K isquite an achievement,” hesaid. “Not only does thisreduce health risks, but itcreates a strong sense ofempowerment. After onerealizes that they can

St. Elizabeth public re-lationsmanagerGuyKar-rick agreed that seeingparticipants reach theirfitness goal is rewarding.

The state’s lieutenantgovernment and educa-tion commissioner, North-ern Kentucky leaders andstudents ralliedacrowdofmore than200with thecry“Our children can’t wait!”at the Northern KentuckyChampions for EducationForum at Northern Ken-tucky University Jan. 29.The speakers issued a callfor people throughoutNorthern Kentucky tomeet “eyeball to eyeball”with their legislators tospeak up in support ofGovernor Steve Beshear’sbudget proposal to restorefunding for education inKentucky.

“We’ve got to get folkstounderstand that nothingwill happen unless theyengage,” said Lt. Gov. Jer-ry Abramson. “You’ve gotto get engaged.”

The forum was pre-sented by the NorthernKentucky Education Ac-tion Team (NKEAT) andinvolved a list of organiza-tions and speakers.

Education Commis-sioner Terry Hollidaypraised the “phenomenalprogress” Kentuckyschools have made sincepassage of Senate Bill 1,the 2009 education reformlegislation. However, hesaid, schools are doing the“difficult work”with evenless money now from thestate’s primary schoolfundingsource–theSEEKformula – than five yearsago, before new academicstandards were put inplace and more demandsput on the schools.

Among all the speak-ers, it might have the stu-dents’ voices thatwere themost stirring.

“At the beginning ofthis year, my mom paid$500 for AP courses for

my sister and me,” saidAndrea Bomkamp, a stu-dentatDixieHeightsHighSchool. “Some studentstake the AP courses butcan’t afford theAPexams.The best educated stu-dents can’t just be thewealthiest ones. Everystudent, regardless of in-come, should have the op-portunity to be valedic-torian and take the higherlevel courses. Every stu-dent in my school and mystate should be able tohavethesameopportunityfor a quality education.”

Out-of-date technology,with wi-fi bandwidths un-able to serve manyschools’ students, hinderseducation, students noted.

“Every instructionalmoment is critical. (But)when I log on at school,with all the staff and stu-dents accessing the samewi-fi, it takes several mo-ments to load anything,”said Hannah Hodgson, asenior at Simon KentonHigh School. “With 1,700students in my school,technology is almost al-ways inuse.Butwith all ofthe students and staff ac-cessing the samewi-fi, thecurrent bandwidths arestressed.”

Marianne SchmidtHurtt, senior vice presi-dent and regional man-ager of PNC Bank chairsthe Northern KentuckyEducation Council. “Ourdistricts have invested re-sources that resulted inreal progress for our chil-dren and youth,” she said.“However, these invest-ments cannot be sustainedon thebacksofourschoolsand districts.

Do you have a friend ora loved one dealing withAlzheimer’s disease?

Then you may want togo – and definitely takeyour sweetheart – to theninth annual Cherish theMemories Valentine’sDance.

A dinner dance withJesse Tack from WUBE-FMB105will take place at7 p.m. Saturday, Feb.15, atthe Marriott CincinnatiAirport, 2395 ProgressDrive, Hebron.

The evening will bene-fit theAlzheimer’s Associ-ation of Greater Cincin-nati.

It is estimated thatthere are nearly 55,000 in-dividuals with Alzheim-er’s disease or a relateddisorder within the Great-er Cincinnati Chapter ter-ritory, including NorthernKentucky.

That number is expect-ed to nearly triple by themiddle of this century, ac-cording to theAlzheimer’sAssociation of GreaterCincinnati.

Help the cause by join-

ing the fun: dancing, raf-fles, split the pot, silentauction and live auction.

According to BeckyTucker Biddle, who’shelped founder Cris Sueszget the event together this

year, “It is truly an amaz-ing time and we have hadgreat turnouts.”

Biddle, like Suesz aBurlington resident, men-tioned a growing list ofraffle and auction items:Pink Zebra candles, AllThat Jazz consignment,Longneck’sGrill andPam-pered Chef.

“Also Walt DisneyWorld has given us ticketsfor this year, PioneerVendingisdoingajukeboxfor the live auction andwhoeverwinsthattheyde-

liver and set it up in theirhome with 100 CDs,” Bid-dle said. “We have lots ofnice items.”

Getting the word outabout Cherish the Memo-ries Valentine’s Dance hasbeen something of a chal-lenge, perhaps because ofall the wintry weather.

So she urged peopleconcerned about Alzheim-er’s to check out the ninithannual Cherish theMemo-ries page on Facebook. Orcall Biddle at 859-307-7175or Suesz at 859-586-9779for ticket information. Allchecks will be payable tothe Alzheimer’s Associa-tion.

“Not only will you havea blast but you’re also sup-porting to help fight andfind a cure for an awfuldisease and helping thefamilies that are alreadydealing with it,” Biddlesaid.

The Northern KentuckyRiver Monsters burst ontothe national radar, thanks toaffable quarterback JaredLorenzen. The organizationnow hopes to prove that it ismuch more than just oneman. After losing Lorenzento a broken tibia in the homeopener, Feb. 9, the RiverMonsters must move for-ward without their most rec-ognizable player.

Putting on a show for thelocal fans was always priori-tyNo.1. Thatwill not change.

After a two-year hiatusand a league change, the Riv-er Monsters are back, nowplaying in the Continental In-door Football League. Theteam’s home games areplayedatNorthernKentuckyUniversity’s Bank of Ken-tucky Center. For any foot-ball fans needing their fix af-ter the conclusion of the col-lege and NFL seasons, theCIFL provides a worthy, andunique, alternative.

“Iwant this teamtobelongto Northern Kentucky,” saidowner and general managerJill Chitwood. “I encouragethe sponsors to stand up andembrace this team as theirown.”

Fans can sit just a few feetfrom the playing field. Kicksand errant passes often endup in the stands. When fansshout encouragement at theRiver Monsters, or unkindwords at the opponent, theplayers can hear them. Theteams’ sidelines are locatedin corners of the arena rightnext to the bleachers. Weath-er isnevera factor.Pre-gameand halftime festivities en-gage fans of all ages. Hude-pohl is on tap and costs $6.Following the game, players,coaches, cheerleaders, andmascots stick around thefield signing autographs andgreeting fans.

“I’m hoping that more ofthe fans realize that this maybe a step down from theNFL,but it’s in our community, it’ssomething local, it’s some-thing fun for the kids to be in-volved with,” said CarolAyers, a former CampbellCountyHigh School andBen-Gals cheerleader, now a co-coach of the River Girlscheer squad.

ALEXANDRIA — CampbellCounty High School seniorsLuke Franzen, Garrett Geiman,andCoreyHolbrookhavegrownup in head coach Aric Russell’ssystem.

The trio now has the Camelspositioned for the best season ofRussell’s four-year tenure at thehelm of his alma mater. Camp-bell County is off to a 14-5 start,thanks to the unity and selfless-ness exhibited by its three sen-iors,whoarethefirstgrouptogothrough the high school in underRussell’s guidance.

“Our senior leadership hasbeen great this year,” said Rus-sell. “All threehaveworkedveryhard for us and all three play adifferent role on this team.

“Corey Holbrook has been aspecial talent and a great leadersincehis sophomoreyear andhehas really stepped up to everychallenge Ihavegivenhim.Gar-rettGeimanhasplayedgreatde-fense and does whatever isasked of him coming off thebench giving us great energyand alwaysworking harder thananybody. Luke Franzen is a veryspecial kid, who I feel will besuccessful in life because of hisgreat attitude. He went fromstarting to a role off the benchnotonlyhasheacceptedtherole,hecomesinandgivesthis teamaspark every night. I couldn’t bemore proud of these three sen-iors.”

This year has not been with-out challenges. The Camels, likeevery other team in the area,have struggled to maintain mo-mentum due to numerousweather-induced postpone-ments.

“It’s beenverydifficult,” saidRussell. “Every time I felt weweremakingprogressandgainswe would have three or fourdays where our games would becanceled and we couldn’t get inthe gym to practice because ofthe weather.”

Campbell County has proventhat it can roll with both nature-related challenges and on-courtobstacles. The seniors keep theteam focused. The Camels havenot lost consecutive games thisseason and rallied from an 18-point deficit to defeat HarrisonCounty on Feb. 8.

“We have some hungry kidson this team that play hard andgive themselves a chance to wineverynight,” saidRussell. “Thatjust shows our attitude on fight-

ing through adversity.”Russell’s first 20-win season

asCCHSheadcoach iswellwith-in reach. More importantly, theCamels want to make a deepMarch run and avenge last sea-son’s disappointing district tour-nament loss. This close-knit

group has grown together overthe past four years and is eagertomake itsmark inprogramhis-tory. This team has the potentialto be Campbell County’s bestsince the 2000-2001 team thatwon 22 games and advanced tothe Sweet Sixteen.

“You have to believe in eachother believe in what we do wellas a team and keep improvingevery night,” said Russell. “Ourteam plays as a family. We haveeach other’s back and it will befun to see how things turn outthis year.”

will get out and supportthis local team.”

Many attendees of thehome opener had a con-nection to a player orcheerleader on the ros-ter, but there were alsomany who just wanted tocheck out the new localfootball product. A trio ofNKU freshmen heardabout the game whenthey were at an NKUmen’s basketball gamethe week prior. Erlangerresident Lisa Huckerheard about the RiverMonsters from a co-worker earlier in theweek and brought herhusband Rob and 7-year-old son Wyatt to thegame.The interactionbe-tween the team and thefans will keep the Huck-ers coming back, saidRob.

While the playersmaynot be as big, strong, orfast as NFL players, theyare still bigger, stronger,and faster thanmost peo-ple. The hits were hard.The effort and desire towin from both playersand coaches was unde-niable. Many CIFL play-ers had tryouts with NFLor AFL teams.

Some, like Lorenzen,experienced football atthe highest level. Thereare players from all divi-sions of collegiate foot-ball. Some are hoping toworktheirwaybackuptohigher levels, while oth-ers simply play for thelove of the game. Leagueownersalso look forqual-ity young men to repre-sent their organization inthe community.

“The one thing withthis team that I do not

have to emphasize tothem is how importantgettingout in thecommu-nity is,” said Chitwood. “Iam blessed to have greatathletes on the field andawesome young men offthe field. I have playerswho are taking it uponthemselves to get out toschools, organizations,and hospitals and spreadthe word about us andhelp the community inany way they can.”

Having a roster withmany local ties also helpstheRiverMonsters bringin a fan base. When Lo-renzen went down withhis injury, another for-mer Highlands HighSchoolquarterback,KyleJames, filled in capably.TheUniversityofCincin-nati and Thomas MoreCollege have the mostalums on the River Mon-sters roster.

“I like that the RiverMonsters get so many lo-cal players involved andallow them an opportuni-ty to continue to playfootball,” said Highlandsathletic director DaleMueller.

After winning theopener that garnered na-tionalattention, theRiverMonsters suffered theirfirst loss of the season atthe hands of the defend-ing CIFL champion ErieExplosion.

Erie owner Bill Staf-ford was impressed bythe Bank of KentuckyCenter and its ability totransform into a 50-yardturf fieldwith suspendedU-shaped goalposts. Thefield is surrounded bypaddedpanels covered inadvertisements for localbusinesses.

Eight men on eachteam, along with onecoach,areonthefieldatatime. The CIFL is condu-

cive to running the foot-ball, a key that the Explo-sion exploited on theirway to the 2013 title andin their 42-30 victoryover Northern Kentuckyon Feb. 9. Indoor footballneed not result in basket-ball scores. The averagescore of the River Mon-sters’ first two gamesthis season is 39-25.

After a whirlwindweek inwhichhepromot-ed theCIFLandtheRiverMonsters to dozens ofsports radio outlets, evenLorenzen’s unfortunateinjury received nationalexposure. His willing-ness to serve as the faceand voice of the entireleague benefited theCIFLand all of its organi-zations.

“It really ramped upthe overall level of theleague,” said Stafford ofthe media attention fo-cused on Lorenzen.

Now, with their starand starting quarterbackon the shelf, the RiverMonsters must try evenharder to give the localcommunity plenty to beexcitedabout.Theyknowthat the bar has beenraised, but feel like theyare up to the challenge.

“Never in our wildestdreamsdidweever thinkwe would have one-fourth this type of expo-sure. Seeing the RiverMonsters on NFL Net-work, ESPN, and FoxSports has been jaw-dropping and exciting,”said Chitwood. “All theseyoung men are talentedand have a passion forfootball and also for thecommunity.”

The River Monstersreturn to the Bank ofKentucky Center, 2 p.m.Sunday, Feb. 16, hostingthe Bluegrass Warhors-es.

Heart disease is the No. 1cause of illness and death forNorth American women andkills more women than allformsofcancercombined.Feb-ruary is Women’s Heart HealthMonth, and it is a great time forwomen to start taking bettercare of their hearts all yearround.

It’s important to know yourpersonal risk for heart diseaseand family history. Commonrisk factors for heart diseaseinclude elevated blood pres-sure, high cholesterol levels,smoking, diabetes, a sedentarylifestyleandoverweightorobe-sity.

Obesity increases women’srisk for at least five leadingcauses of death including heart

disease,stroke, arterio-sclerosis(hardening ofthe arteries)and some typesof cancer.

Two of thebest ways toimprove yourheart health isto change yourdiet and to ex-ercise.

You havemany different op-tions to changeyourdiet for thebetter. Most of them include in-corporating more vegetablesand fruits and fiber sourcesinto your diet. The U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture’s My Plateencourages people to fill half of

their plateswith fruits and veg-etables. Fiber not only helpsprevent heart disease but alsocanhelppreventdiabetes,man-age weight and improve diges-tion. Good sources of fiber arebeans, barley and oats.

You can also start incorpo-rating more Mediterraneanmeals into your diet. People inMediterranean countries tendto have lower rates of heart dis-easebecause theyeatadiet richin monounsaturated fat and li-nolenic acid. They consumemore olive oil, fish, fruits andvegetables.

Highbloodpressure canbeamajor contributing factor toheart disease and arterioscle-rosis. If you have high bloodpressure, learning to control it

can greatly reduce your risk ofdeveloping heart disease. TheDietary Approaches to StopHypertension (DASH) diet hasbeen proven to significantlylower blood pressure. This dietinvolves limiting your salt in-take and consuming plenty offruits, vegetables, low-fat dairyproducts, fiber, and leanmeats.More information about theDASH diet is available on theNationalHeart, LungandBloodInstitute’s website,bit.ly/kentondash.

More than two-thirdsofKen-tuckians are not active and 71percent of women in the statereportbeingsedentary.Youcanbecome more heart healthy byincorporating more movementinto your day. That doesn’t nec-

essarily mean you have tospend hours at the gym. If youlead a sedentary lifestyle, youcan start small by doing thingslike taking the stairs instead ofthe elevator, parking furtheraway from a store entrance,playing tag with your kids orwalking around your neighbor-hood. Every bit of movementhelps.

For more information onways you can get healthy andprotect your heart, contact theKenton County office of theUniversity of Kentucky Coop-erative Extension Service at356-3155.

CIVICINVOLVEMENT

I was disappointed to readCommon Core foes shortsight-ed by the Northern KentuckyCEO Roundtable. While it waswritten by 12 members of abusinessgroup that shouldhavebeencalled,Titles of theRound-table, its tone was condescen-ding and quite socialistic.

Their message to teachers,parents and grandparents isclear – we’re smarter than youso shut up about the new Com-mon Core program for schools.We know what’s best for yourchildren. Did you not under-stand that we have a roundta-ble? Everyone knows thatroundtable people are smarterthan square table people. As agrandfather, I was insulted bytheir arrogance.

I was surprised to read theTitles comments concerningKentucky students’ collegereadiness: The result has beencollege and career readinessrates in Kentucky rose from 34percent in 2010 to 54 percent in

2013.Where did

those statscome from? Itturns out theywere calculat-ed by Kentuck-y’sDepartmentof Education.That’s like hav-ing Pete Rosecalculate hisown batting av-erage.

Here’s how ACT rates Ken-tucky’s percent of studentswhopass all four sections of collegereadiness benchmarks (Eng-lish, math, reading and sci-ence): 2010 (16 percent), 2011(16percent), 2012 (17 percent) and2013 (18 percent).

Do you understand why theTitles claim 54 percent of stu-dentspass thecollegereadinessbenchmarks while ACT reportsonly18percentofKentuckystu-dents do?

I found a Kentucky report

(College Readiness Indicators)that outlined Kentucky’s DOE’scalculation of college readi-ness:

“Beginning fall of 2012, allpublic postsecondary institu-tions in Kentucky will use thefollowing benchmarks as col-lege readiness indicators. Uponadmission to a public postsec-ondary institution, studentsscoring at or above the scoresindicatedwill not be required tocomplete developmental, sup-plemental, or transitional cour-sework and will be allowed en-try into college credit-bearingcoursework that counts towarddegree credit requirements.”

Did you catch the brilliantmanipulation of data designedto artificially raise Kentucky’scollege readiness benchmarks?Theseword-gymnasts are quiteimpressive. The key phrase is“Upon admission to a publicpostsecondary institution.” TheDOE is cleverly eliminating thescores of high school graduates

whodonotattendorgainadmis-sion to college. These studentsusually have the lower scores.

DOE doesn’t count all stu-dents like ACT does. Theychoose to mislead the public bycherry-picking students.

How can Kentucky’s collegereadinesspercent jumpfrom34percent to 54 percent whenKentucky students’ overallACT scores in 2010 were 19.4compared to2013’s anemic19.6?That’s only an increase of 1per-cent, not 20 percent.

These Dudley-Do-Rightsdidn’t change student results;theyjustuseda littleDavidCop-perfield illusion to change therating formula to fool thepublicthat Common Core is working.Kentucky’s children aren’t 20percent smarter. Themanipula-tors of data are just more cre-ative.

AnnShelly trippedwhileex-ercising at a local fitness facil-ity last year.Likemanyseniorswho suffer falls, the 84-year-old Shely broke her hip andlanded in a nursing home, theBaptist Convalescent Center,in Newport.

The center offered every-thing Shely needed. The staffand residents were friendly.

But Shely yearned to be inher own home. Home sick, inpain, and apprehensive, theBoone County resident decid-ed she could sit and complainor be an inspiration to othersher age, who face adversity.

Shely chose the latter.Using her longtime hobby,

she addedcolor to the lives andwalls inside the ConvalescentCenter. When she left for herhome recently, the center isbrighter and fellow residentswill have ideas to carry onShe-ly’s therapeutic activities.

Shely’sworkstarted shortlyafter she moved in last Febru-ary.

“Inoticed that thebathroomwalls werewhite and I thoughtugly,” Shely said. “I asked if Icould paint a mural on thewall.”

Her unusual question wentthrough the chain of commandandendedupon thedeskof thecenter’s administrator, DonnaFrodge.

“I had never had that re-questbefore,but it seemedlikea therapeutic project,” shesaid. “Soon, people were liningup to look into her bathroom.”

“(Other residents) askedabout my painting and showedinterest. All I did was showthem that they could do it too,”Shely said.

Shely had a collection ofprimitive and modern paint-ings that she had createdthrough the years, so staff as-sembledanart show in thecen-ter’s lobby.”

Shely titled her collection,“There’s more to life than abroken hip.” There were

chuckles and an interest inlearning how to paint, so Shelyasked to teach a class.

More than 20 of Shely’speers assembled in a largespace in the halls, where Shelyshowed them how to startpaintingwithout investinga lotof money. “I showed them thatyou can express yourself withjust four tubes of paint.”

“I enjoyed it,” said 84-year-old Rita Barth, showing off theframedartworkshecreated. “Ihad never painted before.”

Shely had several inquiriesaboutsellingsomeofherpaint-ings. An area Hospice mayauction a piece of work called,“Celebration.” About 20 guestsShely invited to her home onenight created it by each leav-

ing their mark on the artwork.“Painting makes people

happy, that’s what I like,” saidShely.

After almost a year of hardwork and determination, She-ly, leaves the center this week.She will live in her own apart-ment in Florence.

She will not be forgotten atthe center. She started some-thing.

“Theysaidwecouldhaveanart class, right?” asked PhylisManvel, from across the hall.

“Yes, they did,” replies She-ly.

“I’ll miss the people here,”Shely says, as she bagged herpossessions for themove. “ButI plannot to return, unless I amvisiting.”

Today is a bread bak-ing day. The idea actu-ally started yesterdaywhen my friend JoanieManzo, a Loveland read-er, brought me a loaf ofhomemade cinnamonbread. Divine! So it gotme in the bread bakingmood. I didn’t have timefor cinnamon bread butknew I’d have time tomake this easy recipefor Italian bread. I keptone loaf for us and sentthe other to Tony andDebbie, our neighbors.With this wicked icyweather, a warm loaf ofbread with a bowl ofsteaming stew is a com-forting supper.

Italian bread forbeginners andeveryone else

I like this recipe forits simplicity. The flavorand texture is like thekind you get at a bakery.The crust is a bit crispand pale gold. I’m givingdetailed instructionshere. Check out my blogfor tips on kneading andstep-by-step photos. Ifyou want, sprinkle poppyseeds on the bread aftershaping.

1package (1⁄4 oz.) active dryyeast

2 cups warmwater (110degrees to 115 degrees)

Pinch of sugar to feed yeast1 teaspoon sugar2 teaspoons salt51⁄2 cups all-purpose flour

Stir yeast in warmwater, adding a pinch ofsugar to “feed” theyeast. It’s ready when itlooks foamy on top, afew minutes. Pour intomixing bowl and addsugar, salt and 3 cupsflour. Beat on mediumspeed for 3 minutes.Pour in remaining flourand mix on low to formsoft dough. On verylightly floured surface,knead until smooth andelastic, about 8 minutesor so. It may be sticky at

first, butwill getsmooth,like ababy’sbottom.Place ingreasedbowl, turn-ing once togrease top.Cover and

let rise in warm placeuntil doubled, about 1hour or so.

Punch dough down.Divide in half. Shapeeach into a loaf. Thereare two ways to do this:Simply make loaf shapewith your hands about 12inches long, or rolldough into an approxi-mate 12-inch by 7-inchrectangle. Roll up tightlyfrom long side, pinchseams to seal and placeseam side down onsprayed or parchment-lined pan. Cover and letrise until doubled, 30-45minutes. With sharpknife, make four shallowslashes across top ofloaf. Bake at preheated400 degrees for 20-25minutes, or until golden.

Tips» Make this by hand?

Of course, and you get aworkout, too!

» Measure accurate-ly. Flour settles as it sits.Whisk a bit or stir beforemeasuring. Measure byspooning lightly into cupand leveling off withknife.

» How warm is 110-115 degrees? Best to usean instant read ther-mometer, which is in-expensive and accurate.Water is just right whenyou put some on yourwrist and it’s warmenough for a baby todrink from a bottle.

» How to tell whendough is doubled. Risingtime is a guide only. Usefingers to make indenta-tion about 1⁄2 inch intodough. If the indentationremains, the dough has

doubled. For the secondrise after shaping, makea small indentation in thedough near its side. Ifthe dent remains, thedough is ready to bake.

Good-for-you eggscramble

Adapted from an EllieKrieger recipe. Febru-ary is heart month, sohere’s a recipe that fillsthe bill for health butdoesn’t sacrifice flavor. Ilike this stuffed into awhole wheat pita spreadwith mashed avocadoand sprinkled with alittle Feta.

Olive oil1⁄2 cup red onion, diced2 Roma tomatoes, diced4 whole eggs4 egg whitesPalmful fresh dill, chopped,or 1 teaspoon dried leaves

Salt and pepper

Film nonstick panwith olive oil, about atablespoon. Add onionand cook a couple ofminutes until soft, thenadd tomatoes and cookanother minute. Put inbowl and set aside. Beateggs together. Pour intoskillet and cook untilalmost set, stirring fre-quently. Drain excessliquid from tomato mix-ture and stir into eggs.Stir in dill, season totaste.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Freezing avocados:Yes, you can. JungleJim’s had them on sale soI bought a lot, mashedthe flesh, squirted withlemon juice to keep thecolor and froze it.

nues of travel.Although you might

think that moles wouldhave quite a night life intheir extensive caverns,they are actually quiteantisocial, living alone intheir deep, dark under-ground homes, comingtogether only once a yearwhen they mate aroundValentine’s Day in mid-February. Their livingheadquarters are sixinches in diameter andlined with dried grass,leaves and other vegeta-tion. Moles are known tobe active any time of theday or night, summer orwinter, although they aremost active in the shal-

these ani-mals doindeedmove a lotof soil,especiallywhen theydig theirdeep nest-ing cav-ities and“home”areas,

often 18-24 inches un-derground with intercon-necting tunnels. Theshallow surface tunnelsof the moles are used inthe spring, summer andfall, but the deep perma-nent ones are used yearround as the main ave-

Question: Are molesactive year-round, or dothey hibernate in theground?

Answer: Moles areremarkable animalsknown for their special-ized abilities for lifeunderground. They areseldom seen by humansand are often mistakenfor pocket gophers, miceor shrews. In fact, themole is not closely relat-ed to any small mammalexcept the shrew, bothbelonging to the mamma-lian order Insectivora.Moles are not rodentsand do not have charac-teristic rodent featuressuch as large, sharpfront teeth. Rather, theyhave sharp, pointed teeth(like a cat) used forcatching and eatinggrubs and earthworms.Moles often come intoconflict with homeown-ers when they burrow inyards.

The word, mole, isderived from a com-pound noun whose mean-ing is “earth thrower.”With their short legs,broad front feet andsharp, stout toenailsadapted for digging,

low tunnels in the springor fall after a rain, and inthe early morning orearly evening.

St. Elizabeth Health-care, Patterson Medicaland Advanced Technol-ogies have invited stu-dents from the College ofMount St. Joseph’s physi-cal therapy, Xavier Uni-versity’s occupationaltherapy programs, andthe University of Cincin-nati’s physical therapy toduel in plastic at the Cin-cinnati area’s third annualCrosstown Splint OffThursday, Feb. 20.

“Many of these stu-dents have no idea how touse splinting materialswhen they start helpingpatients,”saidMegRobin-son, St. Elizabeth occupa-tional therapist and certi-fied hand therapist. “Thisfriendly competition willgive them a chance to feelcomfortable with the ma-terial before having to putit on a person.”

Occupational thera-pists use activity and ex-ercise to help patients re-store ability to return towork or job duties and im-prove self-care skills fol-

lowinganinjuryor illness.Recovery often includessplinting. Physical thera-pists also may have tosplint a patient.

“It’s tricky to use ther-moplasticbecause it hard-ens quickly. You have toformthesplintmaterial toconform to a particularbodypartduring the threeto five minutes that thematerial is flexible. Youwait too longandyouhaveto reheat or the splintmight not fit,” said Robin-son, who noticed studentsstruggling to shapesplints during yearly lec-tures at Xavier. “We wanttherapy students to feelmore comfortable withsplinting, learn the basicqualities of various splintmaterials and most of allnot be so nervous, andhave fun!”

The three- to four-member teams that vie inthe Splint Off will build asculpture that representsa current or emergingarea of therapy practicein someway. Each project

must include three differ-entsplintmaterialsandnomore than four non-splintcomponents. Projectsmust demonstrate thedraping, molding, andbonding ability of the ma-terials, include a cylinderor curved structure, con-tain some square edges,and represent the school.The project base can’t ex-ceed 8.5 inches by11 inch-es. The structures will bejudged on uniqueness andoriginality, aesthetic andprofessional quality(smoothness, neatness,craftsmanship),materialsselection, complexity andintricacy.

Judging will occur inthe main lobby at Com-monwealth OrthopaedicCenter on 560 S. LoopRoad inEdgewood. Teamswill present their cre-ations to a panel of judgesfrom 6:30-8:30 p.m. onFeb. 20. Judges will in-clude representativesfrom each school, St. Eliz-abeth Rehab Services andtwo guest judges.

Today, marketingcampaigns for multivita-mins and mineralsclaiming to improveyour health and reduceyour risk of chronicdisease constantly bom-barded us. Just lookaround the supermar-ket. Chances are, multi-vitamins and mineralsupplements have theirown section.

Dietary supplementsare a multibillion-dollarindustry. In 2012, dietarysupplement salesreached $11.5 billion. Ina 2013, the U.S. Govern-ment AccountabilityOffice reported morethan half of all U.Sadults had taken a di-etary supplement in thepast month. The 1999-2004 National Healthand Nutrition Examina-tion Survey showed 34percent of children andadolescents take vitaminor mineral supplements.

While our food supplyin America is abundant,many of us do not getthe recommended nutri-ents we need. And wetend to consume way toomuch added sugar, re-fined grains, sodium and

saturatedfat. Morethan 50percent ofAmericanssufferfromchronicdiseasesbecause ofpoor foodchoices.

Shouldeveryone take a multivi-tamin for better health?Are vitamins and sup-plements needed?

Many American dietsare lacking in potassi-um, fiber, calcium andvitamin D. Potassiumand fiber help withheart health. Fiber isimportant for health anddigestion and helpsprevent heart disease,diabetes, obesity andconstipation. Calciumkeeps our bones strong.Vitamin D helps ourbodies absorb calciumand phosphorus. Byconsuming a diet rich infruits, vegetables, wholegrains, lean proteinsources, and fat-free orlow-fat milk and dairy,you can increase yourintake of the nutrients

lacking in the Americandiet and improve yourhealth.

According to theAcademy of Nutritionand Dietetics, the bestway for you to reachoptimal health and re-duce your risk of chron-ic diseases is by eating awide variety of nutrient-dense foods.

The academy alsosays additional nutrientsfrom supplements mayhelp some individualsmeet their dietary needsor treat a diagnosednutrient deficiency.

You should always letyour health care provid-er or dietitian know thetypes of supplementsyou are taking. Remem-ber that the best nutri-tion-based strategy forpromoting optimalhealth and reducing therisk of chronic disease isto wisely choose a widevariety of nutrient-richfoods.
