“That really says to thepopulation that this sen-ior population is impor-tant to us,” he said.

The senior population

in theeightcountiesof theNorthern Kentucky AreaDevelopment Districtgrew by 17 percent from2000 to 2010,Rechtin said.From2000 to2020 thesen-ior population of the eightcounties will increase by71 percent according toNKADD, he said.

“The boomers arehere, and I’m one ofthem,” he said.

Since the money spentto create Lakeside Ter-race was intended forseniors, Rechtin said.Sale proceeds should staywith seniors despite thecounty getting out of thebusiness of senior hous-ing, he said.

“Theneedsare there tohelp these folks age withindependence and digni-ty,” Rechtin said.

Rechtin said his previ-ous no votes against thesale of Lakeside Terraceand on signing the saledocuments to NKU weredirected at not having aplan in place before thesale on the money.

“These no votes are tosay to Judge Pendery andmy fellow commissionersthat we haven’t resolvedthis issue,” Rechtin said.

FLORENCE—The ProvidenceExtension Program (PEP) of-fershome-schooledstudentsthe“best ofbothworlds,” accordingto Jeanette Waits of Union.

Theprogramcombineshomeeducation and classical Chris-tian school for grades seventhrough 12, Waits, PEP’s North-ernKentuckyadministrator, ex-plained.

The goal, she said, is to pro-vide actively involved parentswith a Christ-centered collegepreparatory alternative.

PEP was founded in Milford,Ohio, in 2001. Programsare heldthere, in Mason, Ohio, Jackson-ville, Fla., and just last year,Northern Kentucky.

The Northern Kentuckygroup meets twice a week atGood Shepherd LutheranChurch on Gunpowder Road inFlorence. Privately contractedtutors, “experts in their subjectarea,”Waits said,meetwith stu-dents twice a week for class-room instruction.

“Our group of excellent tu-tors are excited about teachingtheir subjects and groundingour students in solid biblicalworldview to equip them to be-come world changers forChrist,” Waits said. “We want tooffer students a great academicchallenge to prepare them forcollege and whatever careerthey choose.”

Basic subjects includingmath, science and foreign lan-guage are offered, as well as avarietyofextracurricularactiv-ities including a drama club andyearbook committee. Thirtystudents enrolled last year.Waits hopes to almost doubleparticipation this year.

Waits, who has been homeschooling for 15 years, said sheis excited to have PEP in North-ern Kentucky. Her daughterHannahWaits, 16, is looking for-ward to another year in PEP.

“I like the environment,” shesaid. “It’s fun. Everyone is closewith each other and we workwell and closely with the teach-ers.”

SusanBartlett ofHebron hasbeen home schooling for 20years. She became involvedwith PEP when her family livedinMilford.

“It challenges students intel-lectually, socially and spiritual-ly inways that are a little harderto do at home,” she said. “Theprogram also helps them to vo-calize what they believe andwhy they believe it.”

She’s proud of her childrenand believes that PEP played asignificant role in their academ-ic and career success.

Her son and daughter bothgraduated from Bob Jones Uni-versity. Her son works at Fidel-ity Investments and her daugh-ter worked as a producer forFox News. Her 15-year-old isnow in the PEPprogram inFlor-

ence.“I’m thankful for the oppor-

tunity to be a part of the pro-gram,” she said. “It’s been a realblessing.”

Tracy Uebel of Independ-ence started home schoolingwhen her eldest daughter, now16, was in kindergarten. She’senrolled both her daughters, theother 14, in PEP.

“In a nutshell, I wanted ourgirls to have a nurturing envi-ronment in their schooling,” shesaid. “Who could love themmore than their own mother? Ialso wanted to impart a God-centered understanding withtheir academics.”

PEP, she said has been a“reinforcement” of that educa-tion,aswellasanacademicchal-lenge and socially stimulatingprogram.

“PEP has also been a way tocontinue their education on ahigher level and help preparethemforcollege,” she said. “It isa rigorous college preparatoryprogram but also offers the op-portunity todevelopfriendshipsthat will hopefully last a life-time.”

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS —Northern Kentucky Univer-sity went north for its new ath-letic director June 26, as theNorse look tocontinuerising inthe ranks of NCAA Division I.NKU hired veteran adminis-tratorKenBothof to be its per-manent AD, replacing ScottEaton.

Bothof comes to NKU fromthe University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, where he hasserved as athletic directorsince 2002. Green Bay is in theHorizon League, one of theNCAA’s topmid-major confer-ences.

“What Ken has accom-plished at Green Bay is re-markable, and NKU’s transi-tion to Division I has gonemuch more smoothly than weanticipated, and now with Kenon our team, we know our bestdays lie ahead,” said NKUPresident GeoffreyMearns.

Mearns said Bothof fits ev-ery crucial criteria that an ath-letic director needs, includinghiring and mentoring coaches,managing facilities and com-pliance efforts, and raisingrevenue.

“He’s a very capable leaderand he will bring the class thatwe want everyone associatedwith our program to have,”Mearns said. “We had a strongpool of applicants, includingseveral sitting ADs. The highquality of that pool reflects ourreputation.”

Bothof was one of three fi-nalists who were brought tocampus last week for privateinterviews and public forumswith the community. The oth-ers were University of NorthCarolina senior associate ath-letic director Karlton Creechand University of NorthernIowa senior associate athleticdirector Jean Berger.

Bothof officially takes overAug. 19.

“During my visits here, Iwas truly inspired by the pas-sion and the pride thatwas dis-played at NKU and by NKU’scommitment to the completestudent-athlete experience,”Bothof said. “I truly believethere’s a great foundation thathas been laid upon which wecan build a positive culturethat we can all be proud of.”

At Green Bay, Bothof wasinstrumental in raising $11mil-lion in private funds to com-plete a $33 million renovationand expansion of the PhoenixSports Center. He also devel-oped an outdoor facilities planthat includes new soccer andsoftball facilities, aswell as ex-panded recreational and intra-mural opportunities. Basket-ball has flourished at GreenBay, and during his tenure,Phoenix student-athletes haveearned a cumulative grade

point average of 3.0 or higherineachofthelast23semesters.

Bothof has been heavily in-volved in leadership commit-tees intheHorizonLeague,andand alsoworked at Saint Louis,Idaho State and San Jose State.

NKUwill soonbegin its sec-ond year at theNCAADivisionI level. Last year, theNKUvol-leyball teamposted a record of25-7, including a 12-6 mark intheA-Sun.NKU’s 25winswerethe most ever by a volleyballprogram in its first year of re-classification from Division IItoDivision I. Thewomen’s bas-ketball team finished15-13 andearned a berth in the Women’sBasketball Invitational post-season tournament. The men’sbasketball team led the Atlan-tic Sun in home attendancewith an average of 3,551 pergame.Theschool’sstudentath-letes have posted a cumulativeGPA of 3.0 or greater duringsix of the last seven semesters.

Bothof said he was attract-ed tomove fromGreenBay bythe size ofNKU’s student body(16,000) andMearns’ vision forthe future.

“One thing I can assure youiswewill continue to stress theimportance of having NKU bealeader intheclassroomandincompetition,” Bothof said.

Mearns, NKU’s first-yearpresident ended a process thatbegan with the dismissal inMarch of former athletic di-rector, ScottEaton.Anongoinginvestigation into Eaton’s ac-tivities has revealed inappro-priate relationships with wom-en, including one student, andmisuse of funds. Eaton, a long-time administrator at NKU,helped lead the transition intoDivision I.

You should be aware thattheWar of 1812 was really a“KentuckyWar,” and, alongwith it, a Boone County war.

Now Boone County has hadparticipants in all the nation’swars, but this one was differ-ent: Kentucky interests were atstake. The main cause was saidto be impressment of seameninto the British Navy in theBritish pursuit of a sharp warwith France’s Napoleon.

Far from the ocean, Ken-tuckians had their own ax togrind against the British. Stillfresh in memory were theraids on Kentucky settlementsby Native Americans, aidedand abetted by the British. Menwomen and children were mur-dered, captured and carriedinto slavery, cabins burnt,

stock killedand cropsdestroyed.This was alldone duringthe Revolu-tionaryWar.

The lastIndian raid inKentucky wasin 1793 and thepunitive expe-dition of Mad

AnthonyWayne ended in theGreenville Treaty in 1795.Many Kentuckians servedunderWayne. While a period ofpeace did follow, the settlers,the old timers at least, likelysaid it was only a matter oftime.

In 1810, the population ofKentucky was 406,511. Ohio, a

state since 1803, had 230,760;Indiana Territory a tenth ofthat with 24,520. Boone, one ofthe older counties in Kentucky,erected in 1798, in 1810 had apopulation of 3,608…morethan doubled from the priordecade.

Another sticking point tosettlers out here in the west, asit was known then, was theusurpation in their minds ofthe fur trade by the British andtheir friendship with the Indi-ans. Shawnee Chief Tecumsehwas strongly opposed to anyfurther encroachment of thewhite man into traditional Indi-an Territory. Accordingly, heunited many tribes in an effortto stop such expansion. In thiseffort he was actively support-ed by the British. Guns and

gunpowder in quantity weresupplied to the Indians by theBritish and the stage was setfor a clash.

War was declared by Presi-dent Madison on June 18, 1812.In the war to come, Kentuckysupplied 25,010 troops andsuffered more casualties thanall other states combined. Theyserved on land in Canada, onthe Great Lakes under AdmiralPerry and at the famous Battleof New Orleans under AndrewJackson.

Cannon balls were made inBath County. The biggest in-gredient in gunpowder camefrom Saltpeter andMammothCaves in Kentucky and theNewport Barracks was therally point for much of it.

Boone CountyMilitia under

Uriel Sebree marched to theRiver Raisin, Petersburg resi-dent John Norris served underPerry in Lake Erie and Litter-berry Noel at New Orleans.Indeed, Boone County’s War of1812 connections are strongand numerous. You can read allabout it on the Boone CountyPublic Library’s website.

Question: Some of thetomato plants in my gardenare wilting. Some leaves areturning yellow. Should I fertil-ize more? How can I save theplants?

Answer: If only the lowerleaves are turning yellow andthe plant seems otherwisehealthy, that could be a sign oflow nitrogen. Do a soil testand fertilize accordingly. Butif the garden has recentlybeen roto-tilled to removeweeds, you may have acciden-tally cut the roots off some ofthe plants, which could lead towilting.

Also, some varieties oftomatoes will curl their leavesvery easily in hot, dry weath-er. If your plants wilt downand don’t recover even afterwatering, however, it is prob-

ably due towalnut wilt ora fungal wiltdisease. Wal-nut and but-ternut treescontain atoxic sub-stance calledjuglone thatwill stunt,yellow andkill tomatoes

and certain other plants. Ifthere’s not a walnut tree with-in 50-75 feet of your tomatoplants, however, then thecause is most likely a fungus.

Fusarium and Verticilliumare two fungi that cause simi-lar wilt diseases in tomatoplants. Symptoms includewilting, downward bending ofpetioles (leaf stems), yellow-

ing, wilting and dying of thelower leaves, often on one sideof the plant, followed bybrowning of the vascular sys-tem (seen by cutting the stemopen with a knife).

Early symptoms of Verti-cillium wilt on the leaves mayalso include yellowing of V-shaped areas between theveins on leaf margins. Plantsmay wilt during the day andrecover at night. Stuntingoccurs and plants may eventu-ally die under relatively coolgrowing conditions.

Both fungi are commoninhabitants of Kentucky soils.These fungi attack the plantthrough the roots and grow upthrough the water-conductingvessels (the vascular tissue).The cells in the vascular tis-sue are destroyed and water

movement through this tissueis seriously impaired, causingwilting. Fusarium and Verti-cillium may be introduced tosoils in several ways: old cropresidues, transplants, wind,water, implement-borne soils,or mulches.

These fungi become estab-lished readily in most soilsand can remain in the soil foryears. When susceptible toma-toes are planted in infestedsoil, their roots are also sub-ject to attack by these fungi.

The best control of thesediseases is to select resistanttomato varieties at plantingtime. Such varieties are desig-nated with the letter "V" or "F"in seed catalogs or on theplant label, to indicate resis-tance to Verticillium or Fusa-rium fungi. Variety names

followed by the letters "VF" or"VFN" are resistant to bothwilt diseases. The letter "N"signifies resistance to root-knot nematode.

It was Saturdaymorning andD.J. Scully was busy. “Today isprobably one of the most re-warding parts of my job,”shared theCampbellCountyEx-tension Agent for Natural Re-sources and EnvironmentalManagement. “Because you seepeople come out and do some-thing tomake the world better.”

Around 20 volunteers cametoPenderyParkinMelbournetocollect trash from the banks ofthe Ohio River. Scully walkedthem down to the water’s edgeand made sure everyone wasequipped with gloves and trashbags. “It shows that people docare,” he said.

They were part of more than20,000 volunteers from the sixstates bordering the river whoparticipated in the event, calledthe River Sweep. “If you had ahuge hot air balloon or an air-plane, you’d see people all alongthe river,” Scully said.

The annual event is held atthe same time every year. “It’salways the Saturday before Fa-ther’s Day,” he explained.

Tiffany Sharp of Melbournewas participating for the firsttime. “I like it,” she said. “It’ssomething for us to do as a fam-ily.”

Her son Shane enjoyed it aswell because “I can help theplace look pretty.”

Elizabeth Hoffman of South-gate is a student of environmen-tal science and geology at

Northern Kentucky University.She has always volunteered forthe event. In her trash bag was“lots of dirty milk jars.”

Asked if her action wouldmake a difference, she smiledand said, “hopefully.”

For Scully, the difference ac-tually “occurs inside a person.”"People will realize they can dosomething. They’re not going tolitter. They’re going to makesure they recycle. They willplant a tree,” he said.

The event was sponsored bythe Ohio River Valley WaterSanitation Commission and theFoundation for Ohio River Edu-cation as well as CampbellCountySolidWasteDepartmentand the Campbell County Coop-erative Extension.

“Theenvironment iskindofacool thing to do now, it’s like the‘in’ thing,”Scully said. It’s some-thing that can be seen in the va-riety of people who have cometo clean up the river. “Kids allthe way up to seniors.”

MARRIAGE LICENSES

I’m so excited I canhardly contain myself.For a while now I havebeen yearning to getbeehives. We had themwhen the boys were little

and thetaste ofraw hon-ey, with itssupernutritionalprofile,had mehooked.

TonyPoe, ourlocal bee-keeper,

came out to our littlepatch of heaven to see ifhis bees could make ahappy home here. Ourneighbors have agreedto have the hives alongthe property line so theywill be protected. I’ll letyou knowwhat the finalassessment is. Here’shoping…

Cyndi’s porcupinemeatballs

Last month I did acooking demo withfriends GiovannaTrimpe, author of “HolyChow,” and Annie Mitch-ell, news director atSacred Heart Radio, atthe CincItalia festival atHarvest Home Park.Annie made these deli-cious meatballs as anappetizer. No kidding,these are simple andreally good. Annie toldme she grew up withthese meatballs that hermom, Cyndi, made forthem.

“It’s one of my favor-ite meals from childhooduntil now. We eat themwith mashed potatoesand succotash,” she toldme.

I love the fact thatthese are versatile:Make them small forappetizers or larger fordinner. For photos of thefestival, including thebiggest cannoli I’ve evereaten, check out myblog.

MeatballsMix together gently:

1pound ground chuck1 cup uncooked rice1 teaspoon salt1⁄4 teaspoon pepper

SauceStir together in pan

large enough to holdmeatballs.

1 can tomato soup16 oz. can tomato sauce4-5 shakes of soy sauce(optional, butrecommended)

Roll the meat mixtureinto balls and place themin the sauce; roll themaround in sauce to makesure they’re covered.Cook over medium heat.If you make small meat-balls, cook them for25-30 minutes after thesauce starts bubbling. Ifyou make larger meat-balls (the kind that a

toothpick couldn’t han-dle) cook them for aboutan hour after bubbling.

Rita’s amazinglyeasy and amazinglygood key lime pie

Don’t look for a brightgreen color here unlessyou add food coloring.True key lime juice looksa bit like lemon juice. Ionce made this with realkey limes. It took closeto a week’s earnings topurchase enough keylimes. (OK, I’m exagger-ating here, but you getthe point.) The key limeswere so tiny and exudedhardly any juice. Keylime juice is the answerhere! This is one of col-league Brian Patrick’sfavorite pies.

ShellEither purchase one

or make your own bycombining 11⁄2 cups gra-ham cracker crumbs, 4tablespoons sugar and 6tablespoons butter, melt-ed. Pat into pan and bakein 350 degree oven forabout 7-10 minutes, de-pending upon how crispyou want your crust.

Filling

4 large egg yolks, roomtemperature, lightlybeaten

12 oz. sweetenedcondensedmilk

1⁄2cup key lime juice

Whisk everythingtogether. Pour into shelland bake in 350 degreeoven about 20-25 min-

POLICE REPORTS

ABOUT POLICEREPORTSThe Community Recorderpublishes the names of alladults charged with offenses.The information is a matterof public record and does notimply guilt or innocence.

These days it’s notonly important to care-fully check your creditreports regularly, it’s agood idea to know yourcredit score.

You need to know itbefore buying anythingon credit. But whilemany websites claim tooffer free or low-costcredit scores, unlessyou’re careful it couldend up costing you morethan you expected.

Elaine Huntley, ofCovington, found a web-site offering a low-cost

creditscore. “Itstated for adollar youcould getthree cred-it scores.So, theyasked mefor mycredit cardnumber

and I gave it to them. Notonly did they take a dol-lar, the next month theytook $29.95 out of myaccount. In April, theytook $29.95 out of my

account again without meknowing,” Huntley said.

Huntley called thecompany and asked whythey took nearly $30 eachmonth. “They said bychecking the spot thatsaid a dollar, I automat-ically agreed to theterms, but there were noterms there,” she said.

It turns out in additionto paying a dollar for hercredit score, Huntley hadagreed to pay nearly $30a month for identity theftprotection, somethingshe says she never real-

ized.Huntley searched the

Internet and found she’snot the only one whofeels misled by that com-pany. “I went on the In-ternet and I pulled themup online and there aremore than 150 complaintsagainst them, wherethey’ve done this samething to people – chargedthemwithout theirknowledge,” Huntleysaid.

I checked the websiteand found the chargesare disclosed but they’re

very easy to miss. Infact, the Better BusinessBureau has more than2,000 complaints aboutthat company. The BBBsays customers complainthey don’t understand therequirement to cancelwithin seven days. Inaddition, the BBB saysconsumers don’t un-derstand they are agree-ing to a monthly mem-bership.

Huntley filed a policereport and has disputedthe charges with herbank. My advice, if you

want your credit scoreand credit monitoring,you can get both withoutpaying anything. There’sa company called CreditKarma that, for free,provides your score andmonitors your credit soyou’re alerted every timesomeone accesses yourcredit report. You cansign up atwww.creditkarma.com.
