FLORENCE — Signage forCrossroads Church and Daveand Buster’s has been ap-proved by the Florence CityCouncil, Florence’s Planningand Zoning Committee and theBoone County Planning Com-mission.

Crossroads Church, at 828Heights Blvd., is replacing itsLED light with a newer, morehigh definition, LED sign thatcan change messages. The sig-nage for Dave and Buster’s, avideo arcade and restaurantchain, involves lettering on anentrance canopy and bluelights that are to shine on ablank limestone wall.

Council member Dr. JulieMetzger Aubuchon recom-mended both ordinances on be-half of the city’s Planning andZoning Committee.

She said the Crossroads signwill not roll or scroll, but sim-ply flip from message to mes-sage. Each message will ap-pear for a minimum of 15 sec-onds, and the message will dimas the sky darkens, accordingto conditions set by the BooneCounty Planning Commission.

The city’s Planning and Zon-ing Committee also asked thatthe church build a wall aroundthe base of the sign and screenequipment with landscaping,and that they remove the sign if

the church ever moves fromthat location.

Campus Pastor Terry Phil-lips said they have been usingbanners to announce specialevents, but the banners getblown down easily, and theyjust don’t look nice.

“It just doesn’t look how wewant Mall Road to look,” hesaid.

Phillips said 90 percent ofthe time, the sign would onlyhave one message for everysix- to eight-week course at thechurch, but additional mes-sages would be added for spe-cial events.

Aubuchon said the BooneCounty Planning Commissionlimited the Dave and Buster’slights to be turned off one hour

after close and they can notblink, flash, move or pulsate.

Dave and Buster’s is thethird tenant of the 63-acre siteformerly known as the Berk-shire Farm. Other tenants in-clude Menards home improve-ment store and Costco, a whole-sale membership warehouseclub.

The Florence Heights loca-tion of Dave and Buster’s willbe the first in Kentucky. As ofSeptember 2014, the chain had70 stores in 27 states and Cana-da.

“There’s been a lot of talkabout the Heights develop-ment,” said Florence MayorDiane Whalen. “It is the loca-tion of Costco and Menards,and the third parcel will be-come the new Dave and Bust-er’s location, so all of the workhas gone through the PlanningCommission. We’re verypleased to be able to publiclyannounce that is who is fulfill-ing the third parcel on thatproperty.”

The city of Florence com-mitted up to $3 million for in-frastructure improvements,including roads, sidewalks,sewer and stormwater up-grades, for the FlorenceHeights development. Thestate of Kentucky committed$2 million.

the community.”“Our No. 1concern is safety,”

said Turner. “We pride our-selves on giving fantastic cus-tomer service as well.”

One section of the retail storefeatures gun vaults, safes andlocked storage, but the majorityof the space has handgun andlong gun sales, along with am-munition, holsters and other ac-cessories.

The store will offer severalfree seminars ranging from be-ginner to advanced classes, aswell as paid training includingcarrying concealed deadlyweapons classes for certifica-tion. No purchase is necessaryfor free or paid training classes.

The indoor shootingrange will have 19 lanes,separated by bulletproofglass. The range is 25yards long, and targetdepth can be adjusted ineach lane.

Turner said the rangehas its own triple-filteredhigh-efficiency particu-late arrestance, or HEPA,recirculating air ventila-tion system. The outdoorportion of the system runsthe length of the building.

“The airflow directsthe recirculated air fromthe front to the back of therange, so all that air is go-ing away from you,” hesaid. “It’s very, veryclean. It takes all the leadand powder out of the air.We want this to be thecleanest place to shoot.”

The room is also cov-ered in soundproofingtiles and the back of therange is coated with a rub-berized granule finishthat stops bullets so theydon’t disintegrate, Turnersaid.

A range safety officerwill be in the room at alltimes.

Turner said a grandopening has not yet beenplanned, but that informa-

Volunteer ShirleyBrown hopes a bunch oflocal host families also ap-pear to help those playersfeel comfortable duringtheir stay in Florence.

“These are young menwho are away from home,and it’s good for them tohave a regular familystructure,” said Brown.She can be reached at 859-992-3998, or potential

hosts can call the Flor-ence Freedom office at859-594-4487.

To serve as a host fam-ily, the home needs to bewithin 10 miles of the Flor-ence Freedom park, andthe player must have hisown room and access to abathroom, kitchen andlaundry. Hosts are neededfrom March through Sep-tember, even though theplayers may not staythrough the whole season.

BRIEFLY

FLORENCE — A Cleve-land-based developmentcompany plans to build

191 single-story attachedtownhomes on 33 acresoff Hopeful ChurchRoad.

Representatives ofRedwood Acquisitions,part of Redwood Living,appeared at the Feb. 4Boone County PlanningCommission meeting todiscuss a concept devel-opment change to allowthe suburban residentialdevelopment. The actiondate on the zoning changeis March 4.

The existing zoning al-lows 344 units of town-houses and stacked con-dominiums at a density of10.7 units per acre, andthe requested zoningwould limit the develop-ment to the single-storydesign at a density of 5.65units per acre.

John Lauteulere, sen-ior vice president forRedwood Acquisitions,said the company over-sees 4,800 units in Indi-ana, Kentucky, Michigan,Ohio and South Carolinathat are 99 percentleased. He said the com-pany has been in business

for almost 25 years, withrents between $1,200 and$1,400. The units are con-ventionally financed, notsubsidized.

Greg Thurman, vicepresident of develop-ment for Redwood Liv-ing, said the neighbor-hoods they build don’t in-clude a clubhouse or pool,and tend to attract more“empty nesters” andyoung professionals thanyoung families, leadingto more of a “peace andquiet” neighborhood.

Thurman said that be-cause of their clientele,Redwood communitieshave “generally less” im-pact on surroundingstreets than other devel-opments. The northernside of the development

would include a streetconnection to MeadowWood Drive.

Neighbors in atten-dance were concernedabout additional trafficand the addition of a rent-al community in a resi-dential neighborhood.

Kevin Costello, execu-tive director of the BooneCounty Planning Com-mission, requested a traf-fic impact analysis andsaid the commissioncould request a study tosee if a traffic signalcould be added at eitherthe Surfwood Drive orStonegate Drive inter-change to help managetraffic.

Thurman said 36 per-cent of the community, or16.37 acres of the 33.81

acres, would be openspace, where they would“keep as much of the nat-ural vegetation as possi-ble.”

He said every unit hasa private patio that is atleast 8-by-10 feet in size,with a screen wall in be-tween. Backyards in-clude minimal landscap-ing, with no sheds or stor-age areas. Landscapingand snow removal dutiesare performed by localsubcontractors.

Thurman said thecompany has leases rang-ing from nine to 15months, and they neverlease on a month-by-month basis.

The schools’ roboticsteam works on designingand building a robot tocompete in the FIRST Ro-botics competitions. TheFIRST Robotics programprovides hands-on learn-ing experiences in science,technology, engineeringand math (STEM). Theprogram also stresses 21stcentury skills that focus oncommunication, collabora-tion, problem solving and

innovative thinking.For Ramler and his

teammates it’s all abouthaving fun and learning.Their team is called Cru-Botics, a clever combina-tion of the school mascot,the Crusaders, and theword robotics.

Recently the CruBoticsteam competed in theFIRST Tech Chal-30lengeKentucky State Champi-onship in Owensboro. Theteam received the Judges’Award and was one ofthree finalists for each ofthe following: the ControlAward, the Rockwell Col-lins Innovate Award, andthe Inspire Award.

CruBotics placed thirdin the Qualifying Rounds

Team captain ThomasMcGrath, 17, of Burling-ton, said he is pleased withhis team’s work.

“You learn a lot doingthis,” he said. “You learn alot about teamwork andcommunication. I like theopportunities the program

has given me. I’m planningto go into mechanical engi-neering. This program hasgiven the opportunity towork in this area at a pro-fessional level and to workwith professionals in thefield. It’s been a reallygood experience.”

Tanner Krumpelman,16, of Florence, agreed. Hesaid working on this teambrings him “a lot of satis-faction.”

“It’s interesting to seeall the ideas we have andhow we can put them to-

gether to make one robot,”he said. “Then sometimes,things don’t work how youexpect and you have to goback and fix the problems.You have to figure outwhat works. It’s fun.”

St. Henry teacher Peg-gy Myatt supervises theteam, but said the robot is100 percent the students’work.

CRESTVIEW HILLS — Thom-as More College will host the2015 Hillenmeyer Lecture fea-turing Edward C. Monahan,public advocate for the De-partment of Public Advocacyin Frankfort.

Monahan’s talk is entitled“The Meaning of Life is to See:The Vocation of the PublicLeader.”

Authentic leadership is un-der siege in organizations andcommunities. Some believethat there will soon be an endto the ability of leaders to beeffective. Others see leadersas ever more necessary, andtheir leadership ever more re-quired. This complexity callsfor moral leaders, especiallyin the public sector, who areable to access multiple per-spectives, ride the roughwhitewater and adapt to theirenvironments in service of thecommon good.

The lecture will take placeat 7 p.m. March 19 in Steiger-wald Hall, located in the SaintsCenter at Thomas More Col-

lege. The lecture is free andopen to the public.

Monahan, a 1976 graduateof Catholic University ofAmerica’s Columbus School ofLaw and a 1973 graduate ofThomas More College, servedas a Kentucky public defenderfrom 1976-2004 when he be-came the executive directorof the Catholic Conference ofKentucky, the public policyarm of the four catholic bish-ops of Kentucky.

Monahan was appointedKentucky public advocate bythe governor Sept. 1, 2008, to a

four-year term and reappoint-ed to a second term Septem-ber 2012. The Department ofPublic Advocacy is the state-wide public defender pro-gram providing representa-tion to 157,00 people in all 120counties through a staff of 528people.

The Monsignor H. F. Hillen-meyer Distinguished LectureSeries was established in 1975by the Hillenmeyer family inhonor of Monsignor HerbertF. Hillenmeyer. A native Ken-tuckian and priest for 72years, Hillenmeyer served asthe pastor of St. ThomasChurch in Ft. Thomas from1925 until 1968.

Have you ever done this: You buymore meat than you can use because it’son sale. Sometimes you remember tofreeze it, sometimes you don’t.

If that sounds like you, we’re on thesame wavelength. Last week I boughtmore chicken breasts than we neededfor dinner.

I made chicken noodle soup out ofsome of them and intended to freeze therest. Because they were hidden out ofsight in the meat bin, I forgot aboutthem.

When they surfaced several days later,the chicken was still good enough to eat,but it needed to be cooked right away. Ihad a meeting that evening and couldn’tfuss with a recipe that took too much timeor was complicated.

This no fuss, quick recipe was justright. Really good tasting, too.

Use that extra chicken,cleanse with kale salad

THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

This quick Parmesan chicken recipe is an easy way to use extra frozen meat in a jiffy.

Moist and marvelous Parmesan chicken breasts

1/2 cup real mayonnaise1/4 cup Parmesan or Romano cheeseFew grindings black pepper2 large or 4 smaller skinless, boneless breasts1/3 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs (see Rita’s tip)

Preheat oven to 425. Blend mayo and cheese. Put chicken on sprayedcookie sheet. Smear topping on. Sprinkle with crumbs. Bake 20 minutes oruntil juices run clear in center when poked with a knife, about 160 internaltemperature. Residual heat will continue to cook the chicken even after it’sout of the oven, raising temperature 5 degrees or so. Don’t overbake orchicken will be dry.

Tip: Homemade Italian bread crumbsI had plain crumbs so I stirred in a couple shakes of Italian seasoning.

Annie’s Kale Salad - a cleansing salad My niece, Annie, brought this salad to our house as a side dish for

dinner. This has so much going for it, health wise. Annie used regularcurly kale. We grow Lacinato/Tuscan kale, which, to my taste, is milder inflavor. All kales are nutritious with anti-cancer properties: a cup providesmore than 100 percent of the daily value of vitamins K and A, and over 80percent of vitamin C.

Salad:

1 bunch kale torn into small pieces1-2 tablespoon olive oil1 Granny Smith apple, thinly sliced1/4 cup dried cranberries1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted, or bit more

Dressing:Go to taste on this, adding more of any ingredient if you want.

1 tablespoon fresh ginger juice (see Rita’s tip)2-3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar1 teaspoon Dijon mustard2 teaspoons honey1/4 cup olive oilFreshly ground pepper and salt

Whisk together ginger juice, apple cider vinegar, Dijon and honey.Whisk in oil and season to taste. Set aside.

Meanwhile, place kale in bowl and season with salt, pepper andolive oil. Massage well with hands – this breaks down cellular structure,making it more tender.

Add in apple, berries and nuts. Toss with dressing to coat. You canmake this hours ahead.

Toasting pine nuts: Best done in dry non-stick skillet over low heatuntil golden.

Making ginger juice: Grate ginger and squeeze out juice. Or placepieces in garlic press and squeeze out juice. This is the “hardest” part ofthe recipe since it takes some time. I like to freeze my ginger root, grate itfrozen, and proceed.

Tip: Ginger paste option. Try using a teaspoon or more of gingerpaste. Easier by far and a good keeper in the refrigerator.Rita

A10 • FLORENCE RECORDER • FEBRUARY 19, 2015

3,550.That’s how many of

our fellow Kentuckianswill die from lung cancerthis year, according toprojections from theAmerican Cancer Society.Nearly 8,000 Kentuckiansdie each year because oftobacco-related disease.

Kentucky’s House ofRepresentatives took astance last week to helpreduce this number bypassing legislation thatsupports smoke-freeworkplaces here in thecommonwealth.

Smoking, or exposureto secondhand smoke, isthe No. 1 cause of lungcancer, and Kentucky hasone of the highest adultsmoking rates in thecountry. Kentucky con-tinues to lead the nationin lung cancer deaths.

There is no safe levelof exposure to second-hand smoke. In additionto causing lung cancer,secondhand smoke is aknown cause of heartdisease and stroke inadults, and the harmfulchemicals found in sec-ondhand smoke areknown causes of SIDS,respiratory infections,ear infections and asthmaattacks in our children.

TheCenters forDiseaseControl andPrevention(CDC)recentlyreported onthe con-tinueddanger ofsecond-handsmokeexposure.

The CDC found that onein four nonsmokingadults and two in fivechildren are exposed tosecondhand smoke in theU.S. Smoke-free policiesare one of the best waysto reduce exposure tosecondhand smoke.

When asked, a major-ity of voters in NorthernKentucky and across thestate say they supportsmoke-free laws. Theyrecognize the importanceof such a measure andwhat it will do for thehealth and well being ofour neighbors and lovedones. It further benefitsthe state economically byreducing lost produc-tivity and health carecosts, many of which areborne by taxpayers. Stud-ies from the Northern

Kentucky Health Depart-ment showed no differ-ence in support forsmoke-free laws alongparty lines. More than 500organizations and busi-nesses support Kentuckysmoke-free laws, includ-ing locally St. ElizabethHealthcare and theNorthern Kentucky Med-ical Society.

Now is the time to domore than just agree; nowis the time to act. TheKentucky Senate has anopportunity to join withthe House of Representa-tives to pass a smoke-freelaw. They have thechance to save lives byprotecting Kentuckiansfrom the dangers of sec-ondhand smoke. This isn’ta liberal issue or a conser-vative issue – this is aKentucky issue: a smoke-free law is good for thehealth and economy ofthe commonwealth.Please contact your legis-lators now in support ofthe smoke-free law.

Feb. 12 question:Should parents have the right to de-

cide whether to have their school-agechildren vaccinated, and if they decidenot to, should the children be permit-ted to attend school? Why or why not?

“I feel that if the child that is notvaccinated could potentially makeother students sick, then they need tobe homeschooled.”

Angel Moore

“I agree with Angel.”Becky Robinson

“I think it’s ridiculous that somepeople this it’s OK not to vaccinate ...It’s not just their child they are affect-ing ... They are putting everyone indanger.”

Shannon Kessel

“It would be a human rights viola-tion per the United Nations UniversalDeclaration of Human Rights, forparents to be denied the right to havetheir non-vaccinated children inschool. ‘Don’t Discriminate,’ ‘TheRight to Life’ and ‘The Right to Seek aSafe Place to Live’ are human rights,rights important to those of us whohave decided against vaccinations,for a multitude of reasons. It is scien-tifically and statistically proven thatchildren are much more at risk,healthwise, from parents who don’tunderstand the importance of excel-lent nutrition, clean water, keepingtheir children home when sick, wash-ing hands and attending to theirchild’s emotional and physical dis-tress with time, patience, and loveand caring.”

Melissa Brown, Fort Thomas

“The parent should choose thepace at which vaccinations are given,by the time the child enters schoolthey should be up-to-date. Illnessspreads like wildfire in schools so it’sreasonable to have rules to help pro-tect everyone.”

Lindsay Harkins

“Some vaccines (like measles)cannot be given until a child is a cer-tain age. So until they reach that agethey would be considered endan-gered of contracting it from a non-vaccinated child.”

Becky Robinson

“A non-vaccinated child could getother people who aren’t able to get thevaccine sick. Such as those with acompromised immune system, in-fants too young to receive the vac-cine, and the elderly. Herd immunityis important for that reason alone. Ifthe majority of the human race whocan get vaccinated do so, those whoare unable have a lot less of a chanceof getting sick.

“And, just because you get the vac-cine doesn’t mean you can’t still con-tract the illness or disease, this justlowers the chance dramatically.”

Bridget Haggard

“Why can they keep peanut butterout of school because of the risks butallow non-vaccinated children? Isn’tthe risk to my vaccinated child equal-ly as important as the risk to the al-lergic child?”

Michelle Roeller Armstrong

“Placing an unvaccinated child inpublic school is kinda reckless. if youchoose not to vaccinate your child,and they happen to get sick, yourchild is inherently placing a lot of peo-ple at risk.”

Kiki Stanfill

“Your freedom to take a risk withyour child’s health ends when thatchild gets near anyone else whodoesn’t.”

Elsa Hale

“Everyone has the right to choose... however you need to make sure youthink your choice through to the endpossible consequences ... too manymake the choice not to vaccinate andthen are outraged when their childgets the disease or someone elsewon’t let their child around that childin fear for their child’s safety ... re-member this choice affects not onlyyour child but any child they come incontact with.”

Shellie Eggebeen

“I would rather keep my child athome knowing he is safe and around avaccinated family than send him toschool with 50 unvaccinated kids. I’msure there are a few in every school,but being unvaccinated is starting tobecome a pandemic on its own.”

Bridget Haggard

“I would like to know how unvacci-nated children are in our schools. Itwas discovered that one of my daugh-ter’s MMR shots was given two daystoo early. I was given a few weeks tohave her revaccinnated or she wouldnot be permitted to attend until weproved she completed the newrounds.”

Sara Anderson

“It’s called a waiver form. You donot have to be vaccinated for reli-gious reasons or personal.”

Jordain Moore

LEXINGTON — PatriciaMueller promised her team asteak dinner if they advancedfar enough.

After a successful day ofbowling, fine dining did indeedend up on the menu for theBoone County High School girlsbowling team after the Rebelsfinished as state runner-up dur-ing the KHSAA team competi-tion Feb. 13 at Collins EastlandLanes.

“They wanted this so bad,”said Mueller, the head coach.“All year long I’ve been bribingthem. Usually it’s an ice cream,but we stepped it up for the biggame.”

The Rebels became the firstNorthern Kentucky team toreach the girls championshipmatch in four years of KHSAA-sanctioned competition. Theylost 3-1 to Pleasure Ridge Parkin the finals (176-173, 179-182,216-194, 191-162), which wasPRP’s third title in four years.Each of the four match-playrounds in the 16-team competi-tion was best-of-five in the Bak-er format, in which five team-mates alternate frames in eachgame.

“I am so happy for my team,”said Boone senior Kayla Hight-chew. “I am so glad we camethis far. We’ve never been thisfar. I’m just so proud. Webowled our second highest Bak-er game. I was proud of how ev-erybody bowled.”

The Rebels were the sixthseed after one team game of

qualifying, averaging 166. PRPwas the heavy favorite in thefield after averaging 202. Boonewon game two by three pins af-ter Hightchew notched a keystrike in the 10th frame beforePRP took the last two.

The semis were highly dra-matic, as the Rebels edged 2013state champion Taylor County,3.5-2.5 to advance. Taylor wasthe two seed. Its anchor bowlerneeded two strikes in the 10thframe of game six to eliminatethe Rebels but only got one.

Hightchew scored threestrikes in the 10th frame ofgame 3 to force a 178-all tie withTaylor, which knotted the match

at 1.5-1.5. By rule, they didn’tbreak the tie, and after Taylorwon game four the Rebels tookthe next two to advance.

In game five, Hightchewnotched two strikes in the 10thto clinch the game after thirdbowler Kara Strong and fourthbowler Taylor Evans set her upwith strikes of their own. Hight-chew’s strikes also came afterTaylor’s fourth bowler, a left-hander, left the 5-7 split in theninth frame, and the Cardinalssubstituted a righthander toshoot the split because it wouldbe from an easier angle. The subconverted it.

Strong and Evans also struck

late in game six to put the Re-bels ahead. Evans, fifth in thestate in singles Thursday, didn’trecord an open frame in 20 triesin either the semis or finals. Sa-mantha Schmitz, Erin Be-schman and Courtney Gosneyalso bowled in the match-play,and all had key shots later in thesemis after some rough patchesearlier in the match.

Hightchew was named thewinner of the National GuardBest & Brightest Award for thetournament.

“We had to win the last twoand we had to step it up and not

let them get into our heads,”Hightchew said. “I feel like I didmy part and everybody else didtheirs and they backed me up.”

Boone swept Louisville Malein the first round by averaging astrong 227, and won 3-1 overBullitt East in round two, withHightchew helping clinch thematch in game four.

Mueller, who took over thegirls team is this year, is excitedabout the future of the program.

“These girls have workedsince they were little girls,” she

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS— The Northern Ken-tucky University depart-ment of athletics has an-nounced its 2015 Hall ofFame class, which fea-tures six individuals andone team. Bryan Jack-son, Eva Broeg, Michael“Walt” Kelsey, Mark Wel-age, Jessica Buroker,Rick Meyers and the2008 women’s basketballnational championshipteam are set to be induct-ed into the athletic hall offame.

Jackson’s name is lit-tered throughout thebaseball record books.The outfielder graduatedwith a .386 career battingaverage after belting 204hits, totals that currentlyrank No. 6 and No. 9 all-time, respectively.

A four-year starter forthe women’s soccerteam, Broeg helpedNorthern Kentuckymake a name for itself onthe national landscapefrom 1998-2001. The

Norse won four consecu-tive Great Lakes ValleyConference titles and ap-peared in the NCAATournament the finalthree seasons, reachingthe Final Four all threeyears.

Kelsey has etched hisname in the men’s bas-ketball annals, playingmore minutes (3,861) andaveraging more minutesper game (33.6) than anyother Norse in programhistory. His 285 madethrees rank third all-timeand his 81.3 percent free-throw percentage is 10th-best.

After spending his en-tire four-year career asNorthern Kentucky’sNo. 1 golfer, Welagegraduated as one of themost decorated Norse ofall-time. Welage carded a174 in the 1996 GLVCChampionship to claimthe individual title andearn GLVC player of theyear honors.

Buroker was a mem-ber of the volleyball teamfrom 1997-2000, helping

the program to four con-secutive GLVC champi-onships and four straightNCAA Great Lakes Re-gional tournaments. Un-der Buroker’s leader-ship, the Norse advancedto the Elite Eight twiceand made one appear-ance in the Final Four.

Meyers dedicated hiscareer and much of hislife to Northern Ken-tucky. After serving as astudent sports informa-tion director for theNorse from 1972-77,Meyers become the firstfull-time SID in programhistory upon graduation.

The 2008 NorthernKentucky women’s bas-ketball team overcamea 12-point deficit to de-feat South Dakota to winthe NCAA NationalChampionship for thesecond time in programhistory. NKU closed theseason by winning 10 ofits final 11 games enroute to a 28-8 overallrecord and the champi-onship.

INDEPENDENCE —There’s something, well,magical about magic, ac-

cording to Jason Smith.It’s more than a sleight

of hand or an impressiveillusion – magic has apractical side, accordingto the Independence ma-

gician.“It can build self-es-

teem and confidence,” hesaid. “That’s what it didfor me.”

Smith, 39, of Independ-ence, was a shy child. Hekept to himself. Watchinga magic show while on atrip to Gatlinburg, Tenn.at 10, however, dramat-ically changed his life.

He was enthralled withthe performance. Beforehe knew it, when the magi-cian asked for a volunteerthe reserved Smith foundhis hand flying throughthe air. He was picked anda part of the show.

“I was hooked,” he said.Things suddenly

changed in Smith’s life.

He found himself more so-cial, making new friendswith fun tricks that enter-tained and intrigued. Heset out on a magical paththat would lead him to be-come “Jason the Great.”

“I’d go to the libraryand check out books onmagic and visit local mag-ic shops,” he said. “Forbirthday and ChristmasI’d ask for new tricks toperform. At 13, I got myfirst paying gig. My neigh-bors paid me $15 to per-

form at a birthday party. Ithought: ‘This is nice, I’mhaving fun and makingmoney.’”

He’s kept it up. Smith,who is self-employed, alsoworks part-time as a magi-cian performing through-out Northern Kentuckyand Cincinnati. That onceshy kid is now grown, per-forming in front of largeaudiences, making con-nections to people in wayshe never dreamed possi-ble. Smith published a

children’s book, “HowWesley Magically MadeFriends,” with the goal toinspire young people totry magic.

“It can really make adifference,” he said. “Forme magic was really aself-esteem booster. It’ssomething I love and I’mstill at it. I wrote this bookto encourage young peo-ple to try it. It can buildtheir self-esteem and opendoors for them, as it hasdone for me.”

According to Smith,performing magic is awonderful way to connectto people.

“I really enjoy people’sreaction,” he said. “Everytime I do a show I can bedoing the same trick, butevery reaction is differ-ent. I work in a bit of com-edy and try to get the audi-ence involved. Seeing peo-ple’s reaction is just amaz-ing, especially when it’s achild seeing magic for thefirst time.”

Pastor Bill Clark atHickory Grove BaptistChurch in Independencesaid Smith lives up to hisname, Jason the Great.

“The illusions he didwere awesome, well-per-formed, and they utilizedparticipation from amongthe players, which is al-ways so effective,” hesaid. “We have utilized alot of illusionists in our 17years of doing UpwardSports Outreach. To date,Jason has been the abso-lute best. He is easy towork with and will accom-modate whatever yourspecific needs are foryour program. I can't sayenough good about Ja-son.”
