FORT THOMAS — Police offi-cers Doug Bryant and Sgt.Chris Carpenter have leadingroleswithin theKentonCountySWAT team.

Fort Thomas and CampbellCounty police departmentsjoined Kenton County’s Spe-cial Weapons and Tactics(SWAT) team in 2013 afterleaving Newport’s team. Day-ton Police Department joinedKenton County SWAT Feb. 4.

Carpenter, an officer forFort Thomas since 2001, be-came a SWAT teammember in2003 with Newport’s regionalteam; Bryant has been on aSWAT team for eight years.Fort Thomas officer MikeDietz is also a SWAT teammember.

Asa team leaders, bothBry-ant and Carpenter lead a teamof five SWAT team officerswhen the unit responds to inci-dents, including hostage situa-tions and serving arrest war-rants.

Carpenter was part of theSWAT team that responded toMichigan Avenue in LatoniaDec. 22 as a man fired rifleshots from a home’s upstairswindow in a standoff with po-lice.

It was raining and cold dur-ing standoff that lasted almost20 hours, and part of SWAT

team members’ job is havingall the equipment needed tostay on a scene, Carpentersaid.

“You might be outside forhours without relief,” he said.

He packs SWAT gear whileon duty in Fort Thomas to beready for an assignment,which could be breachingdoors, sniper tactics and exec-utive protection.

Carpenter said he enjoysthe extra training he does tostay on the team and the vari-ous techniques they practice.

“You know shooting with apistol or rifle is one thing, andhaving a shield in onehand anda pistol in another (hand) andshooting is quite somethingelse,” he said.

Fort Thomas Police ChiefMike Daly said Bryant andCarpenter were promoted toteam leaders after demon-strating a show of agility, pre-cision marksmanship on ahandgun and rifle course in-corporating range fitness, andattending a command reviewand interview.

Daly said he appreciatesKenton County Sheriff ChuckKorzenborn givingFort Thom-as the opportunity to be part ofthe team.The teamfollowsNa-tionalTacticalOfficersAssoci-ation standards and proce-dures. Bringing specializedunits together is the currentway of doing business, Daly

said.“The transition for us

means better training andequipment and its better fortheFortThomas residents,” hesaid. “As seen in the Covingtonstandoff recently, a large well-trained SWAT team is bettersuited to withstand a pro-longed event.”

A regional approach makesequipment and tools availablethat departments would not beable to purchase, he said.

Campbell County PoliceChief Keith Hill said his de-partment used to work withNewport’s SWAT teamand leftbecause the unit was trendingtoward a city-only team.

Hill saidKentonCountywasthe most regional team and heliked how each departmentpays a flat $2,000 membershipfee. He said it makes sense tomovetowardasingleNorthernKentucky SWAT team.

“Iwouldhave liked to seeallCampbell County on oneteam,” Hill said.

Eric Nelson, commander ofKentonCountySWATandade-tective for the Kenton Countysheriff, said themajorityof thework the teamdoes is assistingwith arrest and search war-rants, and people who havebarricaded themselves insidea building.

There are19 officers, calledoperators, on the team and twonegotiators.

BELLEVUE — The fate of theBellevue Athletic Boostershangs in the balance.

The volunteer organizationis in dire need of people willingto serve as board members andvolunteers.

“We will have to disband ifwe don’t have people who arewilling to serve on the board,”said boosters secretary Chris-sie Rechtin. “I don’t know iftherewill be abooster organiza-tion next year.”

Rechtin, who has been a partof the boosters for four years,said she’s not exactly surewhenthe group was founded, but ithas been around a number ofyears. This will be her last year

to serve on the three-memberboard, she said, as her daughteris graduating at the end of theschool year. A past board presi-dent, Rechtin said she hopesparents and community mem-bers will step up to save theboosters.

“It is important to have newpeople step up to serve on theboard every few years,” shesaid. “New people bring freshideas and a renewed sense ofpassion. We need more volun-teers too. The more people youhave helping the more can bedone to raise funds ... We havehad to turn down fundraisingopportunities because we don’thave a large group to pull from.More volunteers would mean a

lighter work load for ev-eryone involved.”

Boosters treasurerKristy Stephenson said inthe last few months therehas been “some intermit-tent increase in interestor offers of assistancefrom previous boardmembers, parents, alum-ni and other communitymembers.”

She hopes that this willcontinue for thebenefit ofthe student athletes.

“Our organization con-tributes a significantamount of money to ourathletic teamseachschoolyear,” Stephenson said.“From January of 2013 toJanuary of 2014, we paidout almost $19,000 to ourathletic teams.”

That money providesmeals for students ataway games, new uni-forms and equipment.

“We help reduce theout-of-pocket costs thatour student athletes andtheir families incur,” Ste-phenson said. “We are arelatively small schoolwithmany of our studentsplaying multiple sports.Without this organizationI have to wonder wherewill the school, or the par-ents and guardians of ourathletes, comeupwith theadditional funds to pur-

chase new uniforms,equipment, senior flow-ers and pendants, etc.?Willourathletesbeforcedtomakedowithwhat theyhave; or even worse, haveto do without?”

Bellevue High SchoolAthletics Director JimHicks hopes it doesn’t getto that point.

“Without (the boost-ers),with today’s econom-ic times,we’dbeata loss,”Hicks said. “Their sup-port andcontributionsarevital for us to keep doingwhat we do.”

Bellevue High Schoolhas 14 sports teams incross country, volleyball,football, golf, basketball,softball, tennis, track andcheerleading.

Saving the boosters isan important task, Rech-tin said, because the or-ganization helps foster agood school system.

“Education is the num-ber one priority of coursebut athletics is importantas well for teaching chil-dren the things like teamworkandstriving tomakeyourself be the best youcan be,” she said.

project, to eradicate Poliothroughout the world, is acause the club supportswith fundraising. Theclub pitches in to helpwith fundraising for localcauses wherever possi-ble, 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 Countywe’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 the

city’s name until 1995when it was changed tothe Fort Thomas-South-gate Rotary Club to re-flect where membershipwas 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 communitywhere 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.”

Do you have a friendor a loved one dealingwith Alzheimer’s dis-ease?

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

A dinner dance withJesse Tack from WUBE-FM B105 will take placeat 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb.15, at theMarriottCincin-nati Airport, 2395 Pro-gress Drive, Hebron.

Theeveningwill bene-fit the Alzheimer’s Asso-ciationofGreaterCincin-nati.

It is estimated thatthere are nearly 55,000individuals with Alz-heimer’s disease or a re-lated disorder within the

GreaterCincinnati Chap-ter territory, includingNorthern Kentucky.

That number is ex-pected to nearly triple bythe middle of this centu-ry, according to the Alz-heimer’s Association ofGreater Cincinnati.

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

According to BeckyTucker Biddle, who’shelped founder CrisSuesz get the event to-gether this year, “It istruly an amazing timeand we have had greatturnouts.”

Biddle, like Suesz aBurlington resident,mentioned a growing listof raffle and auctionitems: Pink Zebra can-dles, All That Jazz con-signment, Longneck’sGrill and PamperedChef.

“Also Walt DisneyWorld has given ustickets for this year, Pio-neer Vending is doing ajukebox for the live auc-tion and whoever winsthat they deliver and setit up in their home with100 CDs,” Biddle said.“We have lots of niceitems.”

Getting the word outabout Cherish theMemo-ries Valentine’s Dancehas been something of achallenge, perhaps be-cause of all the wintryweather.

So she urged peopleconcerned about Alz-heimer’s to check out theninith annual Cherish theMemories page on Face-book. Or call Biddle at859-307-7175 or Suesz at859-586-9779 for ticketinformation. All checkswill bepayable to theAlz-heimer’s Association.

“Not only will youhave a blast but you’realso supporting to helpfight and find a cure foran awful disease andhelping the families thatare already dealing withit,” Biddle said.

Biddle wants to give a“shout-out” to businessesthat have supported theevent including Ameris-top in Burlington, GoldStar Chili, Big LeaguesHair Cuts, Bryan’s Bar-ber Shop, Burlington Artand Frame, Budweiser,Pioneer Vending and

Florence Hardware.Suesz added other do-

nors include Image Sa-lon, Florence Freedom,Horseshoe Casino, Vero-na Woodcrafter, Dick-mann’s Cafe, HairtageSalon, Hooter’s, Korden-brock Interiors, LaRo-sa’s, Longneck’s SportsGrill,Wertheim’sRestau-rant, Pampered Chef,Perfect North, RisingStar Casino, Ritz DanceStudio, Signature Hard-ware, Snuggy’sMattress,Steele’s Hometown TireCo., Tractor Supply, Bo-wen Supply, TurfwayPark,WildBirdsUnlimit-ed, Herzog Jewelers,Boyle Jewelers, Schulz &Sons, Wyatt’s Bar, Dug-out Bar&Grill andmore.

SILVER GROVE — While get-ting used to a new level of suc-cess, the players on the SilverGrove High School boys bas-ketball team had a gut-checkmoment Feb. 7.

After falling behind in thefourth quarter to host CalvaryChristian, the Big Trainsbounced back and pulled awayfor a 65-58 win.

“We kept playing, nevergave up,” said senior Christo-pher Lambert. “We came to-gether through adversity anddidn’tquit.Wekeptfightingthewhole time.”

The triumph, coupledwith a91-81 win over Williamstownthe next night, left the BigTrains with a 12-9 record, al-ready their most wins sinceclaiming 20 victories in 2006-07. More importantly, the Cal-vary win put the team at 6-0 in

conference play in Division IIIof the Northern Kentucky Ath-letic Conference.

“It’s a tribute to how hardmy players and my assistantcoaches are working,” headcoach B.J. Aldridge said. “Ev-erybody is on the same page,doing the little things that youneed to do to win games.”

SG’s next game was a pivot-al one Feb. 11 after Recorderprintdeadlines.SGhostedLud-low, who is also undefeated inconference play and whoseplayers have experience con-tending for the title. SG thenplays at Ludlow Feb. 19.

“It feels great,” Lambertsaid. “It’s the first time we’vedone this in a while. Hopefullywe can keep it going.”

ALEXANDRIA — CampbellCounty High School seniorsLuke Franzen, Garrett Gei-man, andCoreyHolbrook havegrown up in head coach AricRussell’s system.

The trio nowhas the Camelspositioned for the best seasonof Russell’s four-year tenure atthe helm of his alma mater.CampbellCounty is off to a14-5start, thanks to the unity andselflessness exhibited by itsthree seniors, who are the firstgroup to go through the highschool in under Russell’s guid-ance.

“Our senior leadership hasbeen great this year,” saidRus-sell. “All three have workedvery hard for us and all threeplay a different role on thisteam.

“CoreyHolbrook has been aspecial talent and a great lead-er since his sophomore yearand he has really stepped up toevery challenge I have givenhim. Garrett Geiman hasplayed great defense and doeswhatever is asked of him com-ing off the bench giving usgreat energy and alwayswork-ing harder than anybody. LukeFranzen is a very special kid,who I feel will be successful inlife because of his great atti-tude. He went from starting toaroleoff thebenchnotonlyhashe accepted the role, he comesin and gives this team a sparkevery night. I couldn’t bemoreproud of these three seniors.”

This year has not beenwith-out challenges. The Camels,like every other team in thearea, have struggled to main-tain momentum due to numer-ousweather-induced postpone-ments.

“It’s been very difficult,”said Russell. “Every time I feltwe were making progress andgains we would have three orfour days where our gameswould be canceled and wecouldn’t get in the gym to prac-tice because of the weather.”

Campbell County hasproven that it canrollwithbothnature-related challenges andon-court obstacles. The seniorskeep the team focused. TheCamels have not lost consecu-tive games this season and ral-lied from an 18-point deficit todefeat Harrison County onFeb. 8.

“We have some hungry kidson this team that play hard andgive themselves a chance towin every night,” said Russell.“That just shows our attitudeon fighting through adversity.”

Russell’s first 20-win seasonas CCHS head coach is wellwithin reach. More important-ly, the Camels want to make a

deep March run and avengelast season’s disappointing dis-trict tournament loss. Thisclose-knit group has grown to-gether over the past four yearsand iseager tomake itsmark inprogramhistory.This teamhasthe potential to be CampbellCounty’s best since the 2000-2001 team that won 22 games

and advanced to the Sweet Six-teen.

“You have to believe in eachother believe in what we dowell as a team and keep im-provingeverynight,” saidRus-sell. “Our team plays as a fam-ily. We have each other’s backand it will be fun to see howthings turn out this year.”

The Northern Ken-tucky River Monstersburst onto the nationalradar, thanks to affablequarterback Jared Lo-renzen. The organizationnowhopes toprove that itis much more than justoneman. After losing Lo-renzen to a broken tibiain the home opener, Feb.9, the River Monstersmustmove forwardwith-out their most recogniz-able player.

Putting on a show forthe local fans was alwayspriority No. 1. That willnot change.

After a two-year hia-tus and a league change,the River Monsters areback, now playing in theContinental Indoor Foot-

ball League. The team’shome games are playedat Northern KentuckyUniversity’s Bank ofKentucky Center. Forany football fans needingtheir fix after the conclu-sion of the college andNFL seasons, the CIFLprovides a worthy, andunique, alternative.

“I want this team tobelong to Northern Ken-tucky,” said owner andgeneral manager JillChitwood. “I encouragethe sponsors to stand upandembrace this teamastheir own.”

Fans can sit just a fewfeet from the playingfield. Kicks and errantpassesoftenendup in thestands. When fans shoutencouragement at theRiver Monsters, or un-kind words at the oppo-

nent, the players canhear them. The teams’sidelines are located incornersof thearenarightnext to the bleachers.Weather isneverafactor.Pre-game and halftimefestivities engage fans ofall ages. Hudepohl is ontap and costs $6. Follow-ing the game, players,coaches, cheerleaders,andmascots stick aroundthe field signing auto-graphsandgreetingfans.

“I’m hoping that moreof the fans realize thatthis may be a step downfrom the NFL, but it’s inour community, it’ssomething local, it’ssomething fun for thekids to be involvedwith,”said Carol Ayers, a for-mer Campbell CountyHigh School and Ben-Gals cheerleader, now a

co-coach of the RiverGirls cheer squad.

“I’mhopingmorefam-ilies will get out and sup-port this 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.

“I like that the RiverMonsters get so many lo-cal players involved andallowthemanopportunityto continue to play foot-ball,” said Highlands ath-letic director Dale Muell-er.

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

Erie owner Bill Staf-fordwas impressedbytheBank of Kentucky Centerand its ability to trans-form into a 50-yard turffield with suspended U-shaped goalposts. Thefield is surrounded bypadded panels covered inadvertisements for localbusinesses.

Eight men on eachteam, along with onecoach, are on the field at atime. The CIFL is condu-cive to running the foot-ball, a key that the Explo-sion exploited on theirway to the 2013 title and intheir 42-30 victory overNorthern Kentucky onFeb. 9. Indoor footballneed not result in basket-ball scores. The average

game. The interaction be-tween the team and thefans will keep the Huck-ers coming back, saidRob.

While the players maynot be as big, strong, orfast as NFL players, theyare still bigger, stronger,and faster than most peo-ple. The hits were hard.The effort and desire towinfrombothplayersandcoaches was undeniable.Many CIFL players hadtryouts with NFL or AFLteams.

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

“The one thing withthis team that I do nothavetoemphasizeto themis how important gettingout in the community is,”said Chitwood. “I amblessed to have great ath-letes on the field and awe-some young men off thefield. I have players whoare taking it upon them-selves 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 helpsthe River Monsters bringina fanbase.WhenLoren-zenwent downwithhis in-jury, another formerHighlands High Schoolquarterback, Kyle James,filled in capably. The Uni-versity of Cincinnati andThomas More Collegehave the most alums onthe River Monsters ros-ter.

score of the River Mon-sters’ first two games thisseason is 39-25.

After a whirlwindweek in which he promot-ed the CIFL and the RiverMonsters to dozens ofsports radio outlets, evenLorenzen’s unfortunateinjury received nationalexposure. His willingnessto serve as the face andvoice of the entire leaguebenefited theCIFL and allof its organizations.

“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 beexcited about. They knowthat the bar has beenraised, but feel like theyare up to the challenge.

“Never in our wildestdreams did we ever thinkwewould have one-fourththis type of exposure”said Chitwood.

TheRiverMonstersre-turn to the Bank of Ken-tucky Center, 2 p.m. Sun-day, Feb. 16, hosting theBluegrass Warhorses.

Heart disease is the No. 1cause of illness and death forNorth American women andkillsmorewomenthanall formsof cancer combined. Februaryis 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 forheartdisease in-clude elevated blood pressure,high cholesterol levels, smok-ing, diabetes, a sedentary life-style and overweight or obesity.

Obesity increases women’srisk for at least five leadingcauses of death including heartdisease, stroke, arteriosclerosis

(hardening ofthe arteries)and some typesof cancer.

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

You havemany differentoptions to

change your diet for the better.Most of them include incorpo-rating more vegetables andfruits and fiber sources intoyour diet. The U.S. Departmentof Agriculture’s My Plate en-courages people to fill half oftheir plates with fruits and veg-

etables. Fiber not only helpsprevent heart disease but alsocan help prevent diabetes,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 theyeat adiet richin monounsaturated fat and li-nolenic acid. They consumemore olive oil, fish, fruits andvegetables.

High blood pressure can be amajor contributing factor toheart disease and arteriosclero-sis. If you have high blood pres-sure, learning to control it cangreatly reduce your risk of de-

veloping heart disease. The Di-etary Approaches to Stop Hy-pertension (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 lean meats.More information about theDASH diet is available on theNationalHeart, Lung andBloodInstitute’s website,bit.ly/kentondash.

More than two-thirds ofKen-tuckians are not active and 71percent of women in the statereport being sedentary.You canbecome more heart healthy byincorporating more movementinto your day. That doesn’t nec-essarilymeanyouhavetospend

hours at the gym. If you lead asedentary lifestyle, you canstart small by doing things liketaking the stairs instead of theelevator, parking further awayfrom a store entrance, playingtag with your kids or walkingaround your neighborhood. Ev-ery bit of movement helps.

For more information onways you can get healthy andprotect your heart, contact theKenton County office of theUniversityofKentuckyCooper-ative Extension Service at 356-3155.

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.”

FEBRUARY 13, 2014 • CCF RECORDER • B3LIFE

Today isabreadbakingday. The idea actuallystarted yesterday whenmyfriendJoanieManzo, aLoveland reader, broughtme a loaf of homemadecinnamon bread. Divine!So it got me in the breadbaking mood.

I didn’t have time forcinnamon bread but knewI’d have time tomake thiseasy recipe for Italianbread. I kept one loaf forusandsent theother toTo-ny and Debbie, our neigh-bors. 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 for itssimplicity. The flavor andtexture is like the kindyou get at a bakery. Thecrust isabitcrispandpalegold. I’m giving detailedinstructions here. Checkout my blog for tips onkneading and step-by-step photos.

If you want, sprinklepoppy seeds on the breadafter shaping.

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 warm wa-ter, adding a pinch of sug-ar to “feed” the yeast. It’s

readywhen itlooks foa-my on top,a few min-utes. Pourintomixingbowl andadd sugar,salt and 3cups flour.Beat on

medium speed for 3 min-utes. Pour in remainingflour and mix on low toform soft dough. On verylightly floured surface,knead until smooth andelastic, about 8minutes orso. It may be sticky atfirst, but will get smooth,likeababy’sbottom.Placein greased bowl, turningonce to grease top. Coverand let rise in warm placeuntildoubled,about1houror so.

Punch dough down. Di-vide in half. Shape eachinto a loaf. There are twoways to do this: Simplymake loaf shapewithyourhands about 12 incheslong, or roll dough into anapproximate 12-inch by 7-inch rectangle. Roll uptightly from long side,pinch seams to seal andplace seam side down onsprayed or parchment-lined pan. Cover and letrise until doubled, 30-45minutes. With sharpknife, make four shallowslashes across top of loaf.Bake at preheated 400 de-grees for 20-25 minutes,or until golden.

Tips» Make this by hand?

Of course, and you get aworkout, too!

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

» Howwarm is 110-115degrees?Best tousean in-stant read thermometer,which is inexpensive andaccurate. Water is justright when you put someon your wrist and it’swarm enough for a babyto drink 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 hasdoubled. For the secondrise after shaping,make asmall indentation in thedough near its side. If thedent remains, thedough isready to bake.

Good-for-you eggscramble

Adapted from an EllieKrieger recipe. Februaryis heartmonth, so here’s arecipe that fills thebill forhealth but doesn’t sacri-fice flavor.

I like this stuffed into awhole wheat pita spreadwith mashed avocado andsprinkled with a little Fe-ta.

Olive oil1⁄2 cup red onion, diced2 Roma tomatoes, diced4 whole eggs4 egg whites

Palmful fresh dill, chopped,or 1 teaspoon dried leaves

Salt and pepper

Film nonstick pan witholive oil, about a table-spoon.Addonionandcooka couple of minutes untilsoft, then add tomatoesand cook another minute.Put in bowl and set aside.Beat eggs together. Pourinto skillet and cook until

almost set, stirring fre-quently. Drain excess liq-uid from tomato mixtureand stir into eggs. Stir indill, season to taste.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Freezing avocados:Yes, you can. Jungle Jim’shad them on sale so Ibought a lot, mashed theflesh, squirtedwith lemon

juice to keep the color andfroze it.

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

Answer: Moles are re-markable animals knownfor their specialized abil-ities for life underground.They are seldom seen byhumansandareoftenmis-taken for pocket gophers,mice or shrews. In fact,the mole is not closely re-lated to any small mam-mal except the shrew,both belonging to themammalian order Insec-tivora.

Moles are not rodentsanddonothavecharacter-istic rodent features suchas large, sharp frontteeth. Rather, they have

sharp,pointedteeth(likeacat) usedfor catch-ing and eat-ing grubsand earth-worms.Moles of-ten comeinto con-flict with

homeowners when theyburrow in yards.

The word, mole, is de-rived from a compoundnoun whose meaning is“earth thrower.” Withtheir short legs, broadfront feet and sharp, stouttoenails adapted for dig-ging, these animals do in-deedmove a lot of soil, es-pecially when they digtheir deep nesting cav-ities and“home”areas, of-ten 18-24 inches under-ground with intercon-necting tunnels. The shal-

low surface tunnels of themoles are used in thespring, summer and fall,but the deep permanentones are used year roundas the main avenues oftravel.

Although you mightthink that moles wouldhave quite a night life intheir extensive caverns,they are actually quiteantisocial, living alone intheir deep, dark under-ground homes, coming to-gether only once a yearwhen they mate aroundValentine’s Day in mid-February. Their livingheadquartersaresix inch-es in diameter and linedwith dried grass, leavesand other vegetation.Moles are known to be ac-tive any time of the day ornight, summer or winter,althoughtheyaremostac-tive in the shallow tunnelsin the spring or fall after arain, and in the earlymorning or early evening.Main runways may ex-tend as far as 900 feet inone direction, with feed-ing tunnels branching offto the sides.

In the winter, eachmole uses a single nestsite, but in the summervarious nest sites areused. Moles normally livefor three to four years.

Control methods thatwork include trapping, re-pellents suchasMoleMedandMole Exit, and poisonbaits containing Talpirid(i.e., “Tomcat Mole Kill-er”), which is incorporat-ed into a poison “worm”and inserted into themole’s tunnel.

A free publication onmole control and varioustrapping options is avail-able from your local Ken-tucky County Coopera-tiveExtensionServiceOf-fice.

Today, marketing cam-paigns for multivitaminsand minerals claiming toimprove your health andreduceyour risk of chron-icdiseaseconstantlybom-barded us. Just lookaround the supermarket.Chances are, multivita-mins and mineral supple-ments have their own sec-tion.

Dietary supplementsare a multibillion-dollarindustry. In 2012, dietarysupplement sales reached$11.5 billion. In a 2013, theU.S. Government Ac-countability Office re-ported more than half ofall U.S adults had taken adietary supplement in thepastmonth.The1999-2004National Health and Nu-trition Examination Sur-vey showed 34 percent ofchildren and adolescentstake vitamin or mineralsupplements.

While our food supplyin America is abundant,many of us do not get therecommended nutrientswe need. And we tend toconsume way too muchadded sugar, refinedgrains, sodium and sat-urated fat. More than 50percentofAmericanssuf-fer from chronic diseasesbecause of poor food

choices.Should

everyonetake a mul-tivitaminfor betterhealth?Arevitaminsand supple-mentsneeded?

ManyAmerican

diets are lacking in potas-sium, fiber, calcium andvitamin D. Potassium andfiber help with hearthealth. Fiber is importantfor health and digestionand helps prevent heartdisease, diabetes, obesityand constipation. Calciumkeeps our bones strong.Vitamin D helps our bod-ies absorb calcium andphosphorus.

By consuming a dietrich in fruits, vegetables,whole grains, lean proteinsources, and fat-free orlow-fat milk and dairy,you can increase your in-take of the nutrients lack-ing in the American dietand improve your health.

According to the Acad-emy of Nutrition and Di-etetics, the best way foryou to reach optimalhealth and reduce yourrisk of chronic diseases is

byeatingawidevarietyofnutrient-dense foods.

The academy also saysadditional nutrients fromsupplements may helpsome individuals meettheir dietary needs ortreat a diagnosed nutrientdeficiency. Multivitaminsand minerals can help filldietary gaps, but if takenin excess, may result inthe consumption of somenutrients above recom-mended levels.

Talk with your healthcare provider or dietitianabout your eating habitsand how they affect yourhealth. Consider keepinga food and beverage logfor at least a week if not amonth to determine ifthere might be some foodgroups lacking in yourdiet.

You should always letyour health care provideror dietitian know thetypes of supplements youare taking. Rememberthat the best nutrition-based strategy for pro-motingoptimalhealthandreducing the risk ofchronic disease is towise-lychooseawidevarietyofnutrient-rich foods.

A collaborative exhibi-tion of artworkcreatedbyyoung artistswith disabil-ities and local artists willbe held during Februaryat the Art on the LeveeGallery in Newport.

The exhibit is part ofthe VSA Northern Ken-tucky Side By Side pro-gram, which is part of astatewide program ofVSA Kentucky that pro-motesarts, education, andcreative expression forall.

It is also part of the ofthe Macy’s Arts SamplerWeekends presented byArtsWave.

In the program, stu-

dents take a series ofclasses that are followedby one-on-one collabora-tive sessions with areaartists, this being the in-spiration for the title, Sideby Side.

The exhibitions typi-cally include the student’swork, the artist’s work,and their collaborativepieces.

The young visual art-ists from Side by Side inNorthern Kentucky arefrom Rising Star Studios,aprogramofNewPercep-tions in Edgewood.

“Rising Star Studioshad such a good timewiththis partnershipwithVSA

Kentucky and Art on theLevee last year and ispleased to be a part of theteamagain thisyear,” saidRising Star Studios coor-dinator, Brenda Zech-meister. “The studentsand their families reallyenjoyed last year’s open-ing reception and seeingtheir artwork in a profes-sional setting.”

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,” said Meg Rob-inson, St. Elizabeth occu-pational therapistandcer-tified hand therapist.“This friendly competi-tion will give them achance to feel comfort-

able with the material be-fore having to put it on aperson.”

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-lowing an injury or ill-ness. Recovery often in-cludes splinting. Physicaltherapists also may haveto splint a patient.

“It’s tricky to use ther-moplasticbecause ithard-ens quickly. You have toformthesplintmaterial toconform to a particularbodypartduringthethreeto five minutes that thematerial is flexible. Youwait too longandyouhaveto reheat or the splintmight not fit,” said Robin-son, who noticed students

struggling 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 projectmust include three differ-ent splint materials and

no more than four non-splint components. Pro-jects must demonstratethe draping, 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), materi-als selection, complexityand intricacy.

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. Stu-dents will present and ex-plain their creations;judges will confer andaward the trophywhich ismade of thermoplastic.

Xavier’s graduate OT

program includes class-room and field-work ex-perience, as does Mt. St.Joseph’s PT program andthe University of Cincin-nati’s PT program. MostOT and PT graduates arequite likely to land a jobafter graduation. U.S. Bu-reau of Labor predictsthat the demand for bothoccupational and physicaltherapists could grow asmuch as 26 percent to 30percent from2008 to 2018.

Mount St. Joseph haswon two years in a row;this isUC’s firstyearcom-peting.

HHCAHPS Honorsacknowledges the highestperforming agenciesrankedbyanalyzingsatis-faction measures cover-ing both performance andimprovement of care dur-ing a 12-month period.

Deyta used theHHCAHPS survey re-sults frommorethan1,200eligiblehomehealthagen-cies contained in its

HHCAHPS database withan evaluation period ofApril 2012 to March 2013.Two domains of perfor-mance were used in thecalculations covering the19 questions that com-prise the five publicly re-ported HHCAHPS mea-sures found on HomeHealth Compare. Qualifi-cations for eligibility in-cluded those HHAs thatwere compliant and part-nered with Deyta for theevaluation period.

Northern Kentuckybranch director JulianneBrown, RN credits thebranch’s staff of nursesand therapists for thishonor: “Both the manage-ment and the clinical staffare highly tenured andput the patient and theirfamilies first.
