History group gets new website The Kenton County Histori- cal Society made history itself in July when the organization launched a new website: bit.ly/kenhistory. For years, the society’s in- formation had been stored on one page of the Kenton County Public Library site, but vice president Bob Webster said one page just couldn’t hold all the history. “They were nice enough to give us a page, but we really couldn’t get our message across to people,” said Webster. “We were unable to really com- municate the fact that we have 25 years of bulletins archived and indexed. You can pick a date and print out a bulletin if you want, or you can order one.” The new site also allows visi- tors to purchase the society’s Northern Kentucky Heritage magazines, which have been published since the historical society started in 1977, or books on local history, such as an ac- count of the Beverly Hills Sup- per Club Fire. The website also allows credit card payments through Paypal for membership and other purchases. “Before we started this site, if you wanted to become a member, you basically would have to email us, and we’d put your information in for the mailing list. It was a crazy thing, but we finally got into the technology age here,” Webster said. “You don’t have to buy anything. You can do research without becoming a member.” The site also features up- coming events, and a listing of other historical organizations. Membership costs $20 per year and lifetime membership can be purchased for a one- time contribution of $200. The group doesn’t have reg- ularly scheduled meetings, but society members attend local historical events, such as Bat- tery Hooper Days in Fort Wright. Want to continue the conversation? Tweet @AmyScalfNky By Amy Scalf [email protected] Your child’s brain is as good as gold, according to research- ers. President Barack Obama re- cently put forward a compre- hensive early learning proposal to build a strong foundation for success in the first five years of life. Under the proposal, Ken- tucky is estimated to receive $41.3 million in the first year it participates in the president’s Preschool for All program. “The estimated return on in- vestment (in early childhood education) was $7 for every dol- lar invested,” according to re- search by Nobel-prize winning economist James Heckman. “Investing in early childhood education ... would boost Ken- tucky’s economy.” According to Heckman’s re- search, these savings come in the form of increased high school retention rates, future employment, lower incarcera- tion rates and lower special edu- cation expenditures. In addition to the president’s proposal, Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear recently announced $1.2 million in funding for 58 Community Early Childhood Councils (CECCs) in 91 state counties to promote school readiness for children. Kenton, Campbell and Grant counties collectively received $75,100 in grant money from the program as part of the gover- nor’s commitment to improve education and health services for our youngest citizens. Boone County received $25,000. “This is an important issue because we know learning be- gins at birth,” said Margaret Combs, senior early childhood education specialist. “And we know that many children in Kentucky and around the U.S. are already behind when they come to school.” According to a recent study by Save the Children, an inde- pendent organization devoted to creating lasting positive change in the lives of children, 26 percent of Kentucky chil- dren live in poverty and 41 per- cent ages 3 to 5 are not enrolled in nursery school, preschool or kindergarten. Shane Garver is the program director for Save the Children Kentucky programs and works with disadvantaged families in rural areas of the state, coach- ing parents and caregivers to help their children learn early on so they are prepared to enter school as part of the organiza- tion’s Early Steps to School Suc- cess program. “This is something we see time and time again,” Garver said. “Children from the fam- ilies in the community that we work in often enter school with a 30 million word deficit, mean- ing they’ve heard 30 million fewer words than your average middle class family.” This literacy deficit doesn’t just equate to bad grades. Chil- dren in situations like this, where quality early education is not available, are more likely to become a burden on society lat- er in life, Garver said. According to Garver, disad- vantaged children without qual- ity early education are 50 per- cent more likely to be placed in special education courses, 25 percent more likely to drop out of school, 60 percent more like- ly to never attend college, 70 percent more likely to be ar- rested for a violent crime, and 40 percent more likely to be- come a teen parent. “Often the families we work with didn’t have a very positive experience in school them- selves,” Garver said. “The child may qualify for preschool, but there could be a lack of aware- ness in the family. In some cases it’s a lack of trust.” A balanced brain Juliana Kampinga is the owner of the Goddard School in Fort Mitchell, an early educa- tion school that makes it a prior- ity to instill trust and begin edu- cating from the earliest possi- ble age. “A good diet is a balanced diet,” Kampinga said. “It’s the same for your brain.” The Goddard School imple- ments the Fun Learning Experi- ence (FLEX) Program, a system based on the idea that learning needs to be fun to be effective in Early education takes center stage By Brandon Hoelle [email protected] See EARLY, Page A2 CRESCENT SPRINGS — The second helping of Crescent Springs’ community event is going to be even bigger than the first. “Sample the Springs,” fea- turing several locally owned businesses as part of the Cres- cent Springs Business Associa- tion, will begin at 5 p.m. Satur- day, Aug. 3, at Crescent Springs Community Park, 800 Butter- milk Pike. “There are a lot more restau- rants involved this year – which is great – and a lot more games,” said organizer Kelly Menz. Participating vendors in- clude Buffalo Wings & Rings, Domino’s Pizza, Embodiment Wellness & Nutrition, Gold Star Chili, Jimmy John’s Gourmet Sandwiches, Remke Markets, Sweet Basil Thai Cuisine and Sushi Bar, and Sweet Frog Pre- mium Frozen Yogurt. Sweet Frog’s mascots, Scoop and Cookie, were easy to spot at the 2012 event, which occurred just after the shop opened in July. They’ll be back again this year, according to Sweet Frog owner Austen Comfort. He said he will also bring some of the most popular yogurt flavors, such as cake batter, chocolate, vanilla and strawberry, and some assorted toppings. “It’s been a very good year,” said Comfort. “We are looking forward to offering yogurt to our loyal customers and com- munity.” Admission to the event is free, as is the movie, “Madagas- car 3: Europe’s Most Wanted,” which will start at dusk. The event will be held rain or shine. Besides the food, the event will also feature games, face- painting, a bouncy house, infor- mational booths and live music by Coffeehouse Riot. Parking will be available at the park, across the street at Little Red Schoolhouse or at the Crescent Springs Firehouse. The event’s main sponsor is Overhead Door of Crescent Springs. The movie’s sponsor is Crestville Drugs. Scott Sieske, an owner of Overhead Door and president of the Crescent Springs Busi- ness Association, said he has been looking forward to the event since last year. He said his family-owned company, located in Crescent Springs since1981, just wanted to celebrate the city. “It’s our way of trying to give back to the community that has been so great to us for the past 32 years,” said Sieske. He ran the “Plinko” game at last year’s event, and said it will be back again this year. “There were three food ven- dors last year, and this year there are eight. It’s been great. It’s growing from last year, and we’ll follow through with that next year for even more antici- pation,” Sieske said.

family walks in they canhave a friendly face whocan be an advocate forthem,” Garver said.“These folks are essentialto help stress the impor-tance of enrolling theirchild in preschool, regu-larly attending and get-ting them ready for kin-dergarten.”
Literacy andvocabulary
Withpoliticiansaroundthe country pledgingmoney to help fund earlyeducation programs, par-ents and families oftenaskwhat theycandotoen-
a child.“The importance of
preschool is not necessar-ily what you are taught,”Kampinga said. “If Iasked you what youlearned in September ofsecond grade, youwouldn’t know. But you’dprobably remember if itwas a good year or a badyear. So what’s importanthere? Your experiences.”
Kampinga said theGoddard school seeks toemphasize enjoyable ex-periences for its childrensothat theymaylovewhatthey learn.
“Early childhood edu-cation is all about experi-ences, so it’s important to
create good ones,” Kamp-inga said. “That’s why thehome environment is soimportant to child devel-opment.”
Not every Kentuckyfamily has access to pri-vate early education cen-ters like Goddard. At-riskand underprivileged chil-dren can attend a state-run preschool program ifthey qualify, according toDarlene Hope, preschoolprogram director for theErlanger-Elsmere SchoolDistrict.
Hopesaid thatchildrenwith a developmental de-lay can start the state pro-gram at age 3, while chil-dren who qualify for thefree lunch program orhave an income disparitycan start at age 4.
“We seek those chil-dren who are most at risk
and can’t afford comput-ers or books,” Hope said.“Every child needs some
kind of pre-kindergarteneducation. We accept theones who wouldn’t other-wise get it.”
It is these childrenwhobenefit the most fromearly education programsbecause these childrenare less likely to have re-ceived substantial paren-tal investment in earlyyears, according toecono-mist James Heckman. Byage 4, children from low-income families are al-ready 18 months behindtheir peers.
The Early Steps toSchool Success programthroughSavetheChildrenhas been addressing thisissue since 2003. As partof this home visiting pro-gram, Garver and histeamuse localcommunitymembers to help spreadawareness of the impor-tance of early learning.
“This way, when the
sure their child is learn-ing properly, Garver said.
“I think it’s a raising ofawareness of the impor-tance of this issue withinfamilies,” Garver said.“It’s asmuch an advocacyissue as it is about thebrick and mortar cost ofrunning programs andmaking space available.”
Besides more fundingto create and run betterprograms, literacy is oneof themost important fac-tors in creating a healthy,educated child, Combssaid.
“Learning begins athome,” Combs said.“Bringing books into thehome is a way of giving achild access to new andvaried vocabulary. Read-ing to your child on adailybasis is very important.”
Other ways of increas-ing language retentionand literacy include talk-ing to your child daily.
“Ask your child abouttheir day, how they arefeeling, what they are do-ing and thinking,” Combssaid. “Ask them to de-scribe how they look,what things smell like,what they feel like. Sim-ple things like that helpyour child learnat the lev-el they need to be.”

The goals are simple for thecross country programs at St.Henry District High School:Win championships.
The Crusaders racked upthe normal allotment of tro-phies during the 2012 cam-paign. The boys team won its11th state title in a row. Thegirls team swept the confer-ence, regional and state cham-pionships. In the1A statemeet,the Crusaders collected theireighth title in the past 10 sea-sons.
St. Henry coaches expectedthe task to be mightier thisyear, as they believed theschool would be reclassifiedupwards to 2A for the fall sea-son because of increasing en-rollment in the Erlangerschool. Theywere surprised tobe left in 1A in the new align-ment announced by theKHSAA in late July.
“I was very surprised be-cause I heard so much it was adone deal,” said St.Henry boyscoach Ernie Brooks. “I hadkind of resigned myself to thefactwehadmore students, andthat’s it, we’re moving up.”
Ernie Brooks lost veteranstandout Daniel Wolfer tograduation after he finishedeighth in thestatemeet.Wolferwas the only senior in the start-ing seven. Josh Hannon wasninth,MichaelRidilla23rd,An-drew Smith 27th, RobertBrockman 42nd, Scott Wilson66th and Jake Plummer 71st.
Harden’s returning startersinclude Sam Hentz, TaylorConnett, Holly Blades, Eliza-beth Hoffman, Abby Epplen,and Libby Anneken. Hentz isthe defending regional cham-pion and finished 11th at state,while Connett placed seventhin the state meet to be an indi-vidual medalist. Blades was16th, Anneken 20th, Hoffman26th and Epplen 38th.
Top new contributors areRenee Svec, Shelbi Ryan, Tay-lor Matsko and Molly Brown-field. Svecwas injuredmost oflast season.
Harden has six seniors inthe program, Connett leadingthe way with Lauren Cahill,Shelby Hentz, Trisha Marks,Darcie Meiman and OliviaScheper.
St. Henry starts in the RyleInvitational Aug. 31 then goesto theGrant Countymeet Sept.7.
Beechwood
Jeremy Fisher built crosscountry from nothing at Con-nerHighSchool beforecomingover toBeechwood three yearsago. After having success withstarting boy track at Beech-wood,Fisher isnowworkingonbuilding the fall program inFort Mitchell. The Tigers willhave a cross country team thisseason for the first time.
“We hope to build on ourgrowing track and field pro-gram emphasizing the dis-tancerunning,”hesaid. “Thereare a few local schools that

KHSAA news» The Kentucky High
School Athletic AssociationBoard of Control conducted ameeting July 22 at the Bank ofKentucky Center, NorthernKentucky University. Amongthe various topics addressedwas the finalizing of a newalignment for Track and Field/Cross Country for the upcom-ing 2013-14 season.
In the new alignment, theonly two Northern Kentuckyschools to change classes wereLloyd,whodropped toClass1A,and Scott, who dropped to 2Afrom 3A.
Followingmonths of review,a survey of the memberschools,andconsiderationofallof the suggested amendments,
the Board of Control adopted arevised alignment for Track &Field/Cross Country to take ef-fect forpostseasoncompetitionin the fall of 2013. Originally, adraft alignment was developedthat would have minimized dif-ferences in enrollment be-tween the largest and smallestschools in Class 1A and Class3A. However, the feedbackfrom the membership wasmore favorable to the currentsystem of dividing the schools,as the draft would have result-ed inextremely largeregions inClass 2A or additional regions.
Following consideration, theboard left the dividing line be-tween Class 1A and 2A at 610students (as with the old align-ment), and raised the lineslightly between Class 2A and3A to 1,050 (from the current1,025). After those dividinglines were established, the
schools that required newplacements were adjusted, anda handful of geographic adjust-ments were made to help withtravel situations and in the caseof 3A, to relieve overcrowdingin Region 7.
TrackandFieldhas thehigh-est participation numbers ofany individual sport sanctionedby the KHSAA with nearly12,000 competitors, and is thethird highest in all sports interms of participation behindfootball and basketball. CrossCountry has the second highestparticipation numbers amongthe individual sports with near-ly 5,800 participants during2012-2013.

“Wehavegiven thememberschools two distinct opportuni-ties in the past three years totell the board if they wantedour system changed. Everyonewho is a fan of the sport has athought about playoffs, but ourmembership needs to drivethese decisions,” said Tackett.“Clearly inthiscase,56percentwanted our existing system offour teams advancing to theplayoffs and no more than 25percent favored either two orthree teamsadvancing.Wewilltake a special look at Class 1Aaswecontinue,where respons-es were different, and certain-lyarenotboundtousethesamesystem in all classes if that’sthe membership wishes.”

SIDELINES
Over the past 44 years, KeithCulp has impacted the lives ofthousands of young men. OnJuly 20, the football coach’s for-mer players let him know howmuch he means to them. Culp’sfamily and former players or-ganized a surprise party to hon-or the legendary coach with alifetime achievement award.
“I was really taken aback,”said Culp, who was told that hewas heading to a surprise birth-day party for one of his fourdaughters. “Itwasrealemotion-al for me to see that so manypeople thought so much thatthey would take some time outof their evening for this.”
The celebration was spear-headed by Bryan Shepherd,who has known Culp for 33 ofhis 43 years. Shepherd firstplayed for Culp as a10-year-old,suiting up for the CampbellCounty Red Devils. He went onto play for Campbell CountyHigh School, the University ofCincinnati, and Thomas MoreCollege. Culp’s life lessons andfriendship have stuck withShepherd for decades.
“He is so much more than afootball coach,” said Shepherd.“He is a father figure, a goodfriend, and a great man. It’samazing how giving of himself
he is.”Culp began coaching youth
football in 1970 after he com-pleted his service in the Army.He continued coaching whileworking 38 years as a railroadengineer. He retired from therailroad in 2007, but has not losthis passion for coaching. Thisseason, he will coach Beech-wood High School’s quarter-backs, and serve as a consultantfor the Campbell County Thun-der peewee football organiza-tion.
“I’ve been fortunate to beable tocoacha lot ofgreatkids,”saidCulp. “It’s not justme—ev-eryone that’s ever coachedwithmehasmade it fun.The lifetimerelationships make it worth-while.”
Nearly100 people showed upto honor Culp on July 20 at theNewport Elks Club, the samevenue where the Red Devilsheld their postseason banquetsfor so many years. The playerspresented Culp with a plaqueand a video. Every speech onthe video contained a commontheme: More than footballteachings, the players appreci-ated the life lessons theylearned from Culp. It was im-portant for them to recognizeCulp now, while he is still goingstrong.
“I hope he’s around coachingfor another 40 years,” said
Shepherd. “There is no onemore deserving of a lifetimeachievement award.”
Culp, who will turn 66 onAug. 14, has enjoyed a lifetimeof coaching thanks in large partto the support of his wife anddaughters.
“Mywife’s a special lady,” hesaid. “She has sacrificed a lot sothat I could coach football.”
Being around generation af-ter generation of adolescentshas helped Culp stay fresh. Justas he teaches them about theevolution of the game, theykeep him attuned to the latesttrends inmusic and technology,among other things. The renew-al of a new season each summerreinvigorates him.
Once you play for Culp, youare amember of his family. Hiswife blessed him with fourdaughters, and football blessedhimwith thousands of sons. Hisinfluence shines through themost in moments that havenothing to do with football.When Shepherd’s son, Grayson,died at age 4 last year, one of thefirst people on the Shepherds’doorstep was Culp, offering un-solicited comfort and assis-tance.
“He treats us all like one ofhis kids,” said Shepherd. “Hegives so much. He is just anamazing person.”

A publication of
People should stop smok-ing. I’ve been hearing it sincethe 1960s when I cajoled myfather into quitting. I was 6years old – at which time heprobably realized I was justenough of a pain in the back-side to someday become alawyer.
But how do we get othersto quit? Government probablycan’t stop all the nicotineaddictions out there. Can weat least agree that govern-ment should not promotesmoking or offer special fi-nancial benefits to smokers?
Here’s how our govern-ment promotes smoking. Ken-tucky and many other stateshave “civil rights” laws whichrequire employers to hiresmokers, whether they wantto or not. Is a smoker like amodern day Rosa Parks?Don’t get hot around the col-lar about me comparing Ms.Parks, a true civil rights hero,with smokers. I didn’t writethese smoking laws. I thinkthe smoking laws wrongfullyrestrict the liberty interests
of businessowners andencouragesmoking.
Here’s howwe offer gov-ernment fi-nancial in-centives tosmokers. Gov-ernment rulesessentiallyrequire non-
smokers to pay for a portionof smoker health care costs,whether through Medicare,Medicaid, or insurance costsharing, at least to some de-gree.
By requiring us to finan-cially subsidize smoking, thegovernment has restricted theliberty interests of non-smok-ers. I hear a lot of noisy ob-jections to “secondhand”smoke. I call smoker healthsubsidies “secondhand”health care costs. If we don’tlike smoking, why are wepaying smokers to smoke?
Making smoking criminalin a few places adds more
government rules. What if wefocused on more liberty andfreedom, not less? A govern-ment which shields citizensfrom the consequences of badbehavior shouldn’t be sur-prised when the behaviorcontinues. If we are, as somesay, living in a “nanny state,”our nanny is being spreadway too thin. I heard she washanding out cigarettes theother day. How about somefree market-type solutions?
1. Remove governmentrules which prohibit employ-ers from preferring non-smokers over smokers. Thiswould take care of a big partof Kentucky’s problem. Acatchy name for the billwould help. We could call it“Smokers Are Not RosaParks.”
2. Take all governmentrules limiting premium costsfor smokers off the books.Allow employers and insurersto charge whatever healthinsurance rates they wish tocharge for smokers. The Af-fordable Care Act does some
of this, but we could go fur-ther. We could call it “Smoke‘Em If You Can Afford ‘Em.”
3. If you’re smoking ridic-ulously high-priced ciga-rettes, don’t expect us to belegally required to pay foryour illnesses through Medi-caid. Remove governmentrequirements that we pay –rely on charities. We couldcall it “You Choose – Tobaccoor Free Healthcare.”
4. We’ve got chain smok-ers with plenty of money andlaws which essentially re-quire non-smokers to pay fortheir care. Medicare expendi-tures already far exceed anindividual’s contributions tothe system. Ease our govern-ment-mandated expendituresfor smokers. This is a toughone, but they really need toquit. We could call it “Grand-ma, Don’t Blow Your SecondHand Healthcare Costs In MyFace,” or “Grandpa, Don’tCause Our Medicare DollarsTo Go Up In Smoke.”
5. Enhance private initia-tives on smoking cessation.
Businesses across the com-monwealth would be willingto contribute. The nonprofitcould be called “Take OurHelping Hand Now, So YouWon’t Lose Your Free or Re-duced Cost Benefits Later.”
However improbable, eachof these ideas would take lawsoff the books which encour-age smoking. Our governmentwould no longer be forcingnon-smokers to involuntarilypay for smokers. Imagine theincreased quality of life forour former smokers.
As usual, we should beginin the right place. By restor-ing our country’s buildingblocks of liberty and personalresponsibility, we just mighttruly curb secondhand healthcare costs.

Curbing ‘secondhand’ health costs

Perhaps Bevins is aDemocrat in tea
WhenMattBevin, a teapar-ty member, announced his op-position to Sen.MitchMcCon-nell, Bevin sounded like aDemocrat. He regurgitatedall the negatives Democratsthrow at McConnell.
Bevin spouted the “beenaround too long” barb atMcConnell just like theDemo-crats do. As a 75-year-old, Idon’t appreciate that com-ment. It’s a slap at anyonewhohas been “seasoned” in life, soto speak.
Mr. Bevin’s campaign hasbrought to mind the rumorsfloating around about how“liberal” Democrats are reg-istering Republican and join-ing the Tea Party to sabotageRepublicans. Maybe Bevin isa mole.
Tea party leaders like Sen-ator Rand Paul have endorsedMcConnell. Those whohaven’t are making a big mis-take. By not endorsing him,the tea party is in danger oflosing its credibility with Re-publicans.
The tea party has beenmaking three big mistakes.
First, many tea partiersspend their timeattackingRe-publicans when they shouldbe attacking Democrats. Sel-dom have you heard them at-tack Sen. Harry Reid. Insteadthey attack McConnell.
Second, tea parties injectcandidates into Republicanprimaries, defeat theRepubli-can Party candidates, andthen lose the general electionto the Democrats. That hap-pened in four U.S. Senateraces: 2010 (Colorado, Dela-ware andNevada) and at leastone time in 2012 (Indiana).Those four seats were withinthe grasp of the Republicancandidates, but the tea partyinterference gave the victo-ries to the Democrats. TheNevada Tea Party got HarryReid re-elected.
Third, the tea parties needto understand that they haveto win the general elections inorder to accomplish their ob-jectives of limited govern-ment, free markets and fiscal
responsibility. Those are theobjectives of all Republicans,Senator McConnell and I in-cluded, by the way.
Tea parties can win prima-ries because of the high num-ber of conservative Republi-cans. But, their extremismmakes it difficult to win gen-eral elections because theirextremism drives centristand moderate voters away.Their poor judgment and lackof support for Republicanshas gotten Democrats elect-ed. It makes tea party peoplelook like Democrats.
Now,withBevin andhis teaparty supporters attackingSenator McConnell, there isthe danger that could happenin Kentucky in 2014. We couldend upwith a Democrat in theSenate. Perhaps, that is Bev-in’s intent. Perhaps, Bevin isreally a Democrat in tea.

Limited government anecessary direction
Mr. Owens, it was disturb-ing to read your column in theRecorder regarding the teaparty. You seem to have no re-gard for the future of the
country. To continue spendingmoney that we do not havecannot continue. With our na-tionaldebt over$17 trillion, lo-cal governments on the brink,and – not to mention – what isgoing on in the states, we arein perilous times.
You take issue with the teaparty that I am a member of.You mention destructive in-fluence of the tea party. Howfar from the truth. We do notneed a bloated governmentrunning our daily lives. Limit-ed government – yes. The li-brary is a bloated entity. Lookat your tax bill and compare itto what you pay for health,schools and of course areaplanning that serves very lit-tle purpose.
When I walk through thecomputer area of the Erlang-er branch I see half of the us-ers playing games. Many ofthe services libraries provideare not needed. Most peopledo not use the library. Librar-ies are good for the communi-ty but must operate on amorelimited basis. Many familiesand seniors on limited in-comes cannot afford the li-brary tax. How about gettingback to the basics?
We have spent ourselvesinto a very serious situation.The Brent Spence Bridgemust be replaced but those inleadership will tell us nomon-ey isavailable.Howdidwegetto this point? If tolls aredecid-ed the outcome will have seri-ous effects for the people ofNorthern Kentucky. Do youcare?
You mention the destruc-tive influence of the tea party.Perhaps all the socialist andliberals that are destroyingthe country should look atthemselves in the mirror.From my perspective most ofthemdo not care. The countryis in decline and all of usmustdoourpart to change itsdirec-tion. To continue on the cur-rent course is not a option.
You have never respondedto my concerns in the past in-cluding a invitation to speakat a tea party meeting. I hopeto hear from you.

If you are a homeowner whohas foundation cracks or base-ment seepage, whom shouldyou call? A contractor or astructural engineer?
Contractors will typicallygive you a free estimate. Thisis their opinion of what mightbe the cause of your home’scondition. In reality, it is only adescription of work the con-tractor promises to provide.
The term free is alwaysinviting and since the founda-tion repair contractor is in thisbusiness, the salesperson isassumed to understand thecause and solution. Multiplecontractors with similar solu-tions or proposals may still bethe wrong repair. If you listento radio announcers, they willalways recommend contrac-tors, even to family andfriends. Listeners may believe,since the radio personalityappears to be honest andknowledgeable, the contractorcan be presumed to be knowl-edgeable, fair and honest. Ra-dio personalities get paid forthe use of their name.
Also, a contractor’s opinionsof how to repair your home’sissues might change dependingon their workload. If theirbacklog of work is light, theywill try harder to get yourproject, which maymean theyhave more inventive (and ex-pensive) solutions to sharewith you.
The contractor should onlybe recognized as an expert inhis product and its installation.This doesn’t mean his installa-tion will solve your home’sproblem, but will provide a billthat you will have to pay.
A property owner that paysa contractor thousands of dol-lars and does not get the rightsolution is out a lot of money.Even $500 for the wrong repairis expensive, especially intoday’s economy. I know thatseveral homeowners are afraidto call an engineer to find outthe problem if one really doesexist.
We have several contractorsthat will suggest a client toschedule an appointment with
us and neverdo. Some feelthe contractorshould un-derstand theproblem; someare only look-ing for a freeestimate, oth-ers are afraidto call. I have adifficult timeunderstandingwhy a home-
owner will risk several thou-sand dollars without getting aprofessional opinion or designplan.
Several years ago, a condo-minium association almostwrote a check for $118,000 torepairs cracks, but after talk-ing to us, they spent less than$1,000 to repair the problem.Another homeowner called ourfirm recently because he hadhired a contractor for repairsseveral years ago that didn’tfix the problem. Recently, a75-year-old widow had $11,000and $30,000 bids for foundationrepairs from reputable firmsbecause she had cracks in herhallway, no foundation cracksand only a hairline wide brickcrack. None of her home’sissues actually required afoundation repair.
For a minimal inspectionfee, an engineer can informyou if there is really a concern.If repairs are suggested, anengineering design plan can beprovided that several contrac-tors can bid from and get abuilding permit if appropriate.You will also have a record ofthe necessary repairs, insteadof a written estimate or asketch with x’s and lines.
Some contractors are veryhigh pressure and are prob-ably offering a high bid pro-posal. If an engineer’s opinionseems excessive or not logical,it may well worth getting asecond engineer’s opinion. Noone wants to spend thousandsfor the wrong type of work.

COMMUNITY BRIEFS
I couldn’t resist buy-ing an extra pound ofdark cherries from thegrocery. Not to eat out of
hand orput intofruit sal-ads, but tomake cher-ry bounce.It’s an oldfashionedliqueurwith trueheirloomstatus.
I be-lieve the Shakers used tomake something likecherry bounce and usedit as a medicinal for sorethroats, etc. The recipe isa hand-written one frommy friend Ann Rudloff, aKentucky reader. Hermom, Mary, made it ev-ery year. Mary said itwould cure just aboutanything. She’s in heavennow and is probably stillbrewing up batches! I’veknown friends to use it asan after dinner cordialand to spoon the cherriesfrom the bottom of thebottle onto ice cream orcake.
Classic cherrybounce
Mary used to use sug-
ar string candy, severalpieces, for the sugar. Ican’t always find that so Iuse regular sugar.
1pound dark cherriesstemmed but not pitted.
2 cups sugar1 bottle bourbon whiskey
Put cherries in glassjar. Pour sugar and whis-key over. Put lid on.Shake each day untilsugar dissolves. Here’sthe kicker, though. Waitabout 4-6 months beforedrinking. I keep mine inmy pie safe. Great as aholiday gift. Be sure andput on the label that the
cherries have pits.
Tip from Rita’skitchen
I’m substituting rawhoney for the sugar inone of my batches. I’ll letyou know how it turnsout.
Summermuffalettawith olive dressing

Can you help?Perpetual bread
“starter.” For Nanci P.who said she was watch-ing Paula Deen’s showand a person broughtwith her a starter thatshe had had for 42 years.“She added a bit to hercinnamon yeast rolls, butshe said you can add toany bread, muffin, etc.How would I create myown starter and are theydifficult to feed, keeptemperature proper, andany other criteria?”
Nanci told me this isnot a sourdough starter,
and I’m thinking it’ssomething like myfriendship bread starter,which can be kept foreons as long as it’s keptfed. It can also be frozen.Does anybody have astarter similar to whatNanci wants?
Greyhound Grille’spasta Gabrielle. Ken-tucky reader Mary AnnB. would love to knowhow to make this orsomething similar.

When you buy some-thing from a door-to-doorsalesman you have threedays in which to cancel.
However, one areawoman says she had ahard time trying to can-cel a purchase made byher mother and her ex-perience serves as alesson for us all.
Renee Gruseck, ofPrice Hill, says a door-to-door salesman sold hermother a new vacuumcleaner. The problem isshe didn’t need a newvacuum cleaner. “I camein and took a look at thesweeper and the contract
and got onthe phonewith com-pany,” shesaid.
Thedistributorof thevacuumcleanerhad soldthe unit
with lots of attachments.So she had her mothersign to cancel the dealand then called the com-pany to explain abouther mother’s mild cogni-tive impairment.
“I explained to them
that there was an impair-ment and that they’d bebest served discussing itwith me. My concernwas if she cancels it theywould try to resell thesweeper to her,” Gru-seck said.
Nevertheless, whenthe company returned topick up the vacuumcleaner and return hermother’s sweeper, hermother signed a newcontract to buy thevacuum cleaner again.
Gruseck said all shewants to do is return theentire vacuum cleanerand get back her moth-
er’s sweeper. But at thispoint, she was having ahard time dealing withthe company. “I had anappointment scheduledwith one of their employ-ees a week ago at 8:30 inthe evening and theydidn’t show up,” she said.
“There are othermethods of sweepingand cleaning your floorthat doesn’t require a$1,500 sweeper,” Gru-seck said. Actually, whenyou include the 25 per-cent interest rate in thethree-year paymentcontract she signed, thetotal cost of the sweeper
comes to more than$2,100.
“She could afford thesweeper, but it was amatter that she didn’tneed a sweeper. She hada sweeper. She has hercarpets professionallycleaned so there’s noneed for her to have thatsweeper,” Gruseck said.
Finally, the companyscheduled another pick-up and this time Grusecktook off from work soshe could be there. As aresult, she was able toreturn the unit and getback her mother’svacuum — along with
the money her motherhad already put down onthe unit.
Bottom line, remem-ber you have three daysto cancel a door-to-doorsale. And by all meanskeep an eye on olderrelatives who may notfully realize what they’regetting themselves intowith some of those con-tracts.

UNION — Luxuryhomes in one of BooneCounty’s most affluentneighborhoods will be ondisplay during an Augustevent that has fordecadeshighlighted the some ofthe area’s premier resi-dences.
The Home BuildersAssociation of Northern
Kentucky hosts HomeF-est 2013 from Aug. 10-25,featuring homes on Pega-sus Court in Triple Crowndevelopment The Eques-trian.
HomeFest is a single-site home show that’sbeen around since 1962,said HBA executive vicepresident Brian Miller.
Though it was put onhold during the housingrecession, it was broughtback last year.
Held near Independ-ence at that time, Millersaid it was a “much moremodest show.”
HomeFest this year,however, is “much big-ger” andmore in linewiththe price ranges seen atsimilar events in Cincin-nati and Louisville.
“The market downthere is just bustingopen,” said Miller of Tri-ple Crown.
According to a releasefrom the HBA, TripleCrown is the fastest grow-ing community in North-ern Kentucky and one ofthe top five in GreaterCincinnati.
The show itself fea-
tures five homes pricedbetween $500,000 and$800,000.
“It’s a good opportuni-ty for folks to get out andto see what the latest andgreatest is,” said Miller.
Visitors, he said, willnote “a lot of the naturalfeatures” and interestingdetails of the homes.
Technology, he said, isanother one “of the big ta-keaways this year.”
While many of thehomesareranches,Millersaid “things are a bit dif-ferent about the designsof the homes.” A missionorTexas-styledesign isal-most seen.
According to a release,all of the homes are pro-fessionally decorated anddesigned with the latestcolors, materials, countertops, cabinets, lighting,furniture and fixtures.
Each home also fea-tures finished basements,including one Irish pub.
Homes features in-clude a wine grotto, 12-foot ceilings, unique ceil-ing treatments and finish-es, home bars, home
gyms, outdoor livingareas, two-sided fire-places, double-entryshowers and touches
ranging from modern torustic.

The Northern Ken-tucky International TradeAssociation, also knownas NKITA, is set to hostthe second internationalbest-practices summitMerx 2013 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.Aug. 15 at the METS Cen-ter in Erlanger.
Speakers include RobSamuels, chief operatingofficer of Makers MarkDistillery Inc., as well asrepresentatives fromLPK, Texas Roadhouse,Emerson Power Trans-mission, Papa John’s, RAJones and others.
As regional businessesgrow, more and more ofthemare looking tomergeinto international mar-kets. NKITA’s annual In-ternational Trade and In-vestment conference wasonce a top resource for in-formation regarding in-ternational trade lawsandpolicies, but as the Inter-net became more readily
available, fewer peopleattended the conferenceeach year.
In response, NKITAcreated Merx (Latin forcommerce), a novel inter-active summit, so busi-ness officials would get tothe chance to engage in
conversations involvingbest practices and strate-gies used by successfulinternational businessesrather than just watchone-sided PowerPointpresentations on legal is-sues, market trends andtrade policies.
