INDEPENDENCE DougBickel, 93, wants to be remem-bered.
I dont want to be forgot-ten, Bickel, a veteran of WorldWar II
said. I fear we will all beforgotten someday.
Theres an effort spreadingacross Northern Kentucky,however, to
battle this herosfear.
American Legion Post 275Moon Brothers are leading thecharge. The
Moon Brothers arealways working to createawareness and support for
allveterans, according to MoonBrothers member Bill Schneid-er.
Weve got to continue tohonor those who have servedour country,
Schneider said.They deserve it. And also, wedo it for our future
service menand women so that they will seethat their service is so
valued.
A more recent undertakingof the Moon Brothers is to raisefunds
to send Bickel to visitNormandy Beach.
We want to honor this braveAmerican hero for his serviceduring
WWII, Schneider said.This is not just about sendingone veteran to
NormandyBeach, but how we can show re-spect and appreciation for
all ofour veterans.
Bickel, of Fort Thomas, en-listed in the Navy Reserves onMay 18,
1942, when he was 20years old.
High school and I did not getalong, he said. A friend and
Idecided to join the army. At thattime, you had to be 21 years
ofage but with my parents signa-ture, I got in. From there it
wasyes sir, no sir, right now, howhigh.
That was the mindset of theyoung men and women whoserved back
then, Bickel said,they did what they were told they served.
Bickel, worked as an inde-pendent medical service mem-ber,
trained to treat the wound-ed when a doctor was not avail-able. He
served on the LCT-17855 flotilla from June to Novem-ber 1944. He
lived on the LCTcraft for nearly 160 daysstraight. He was primarily
sta-tioned on Utah Beach on D-Day,but supported all beach
opera-tions.
Being in the Navy was ex-citing, he said. We saw a lot ofthings
at the beaches. It was alot to experience for a youngkid. It was a
lot to take in.
Bickel and fellow crew mem-bers were shot at and saw loss
oflife. It was hard, he said.
It stays with you, he said.Bickel held tight to his mis-
sion while serving his countryand doesnt regret his
decision.
God had a purpose for meand he still does, he said.
Bickel is honored to be thesubject of the Moon
Brothersfundraiser. He said a trip backto the beaches after 71
yearswould be amazing.
I cant put into words what itmeans to me that theyre tryingto do
this, he said. Im appre-ciative, Im humbled. I cant be-lieve
it.
Schneider said the goal is toraise $5,000 for the trip.
Thiswould also allow Bickels hon-ey, Lois Hall, to accompanyhim on
the journey. Hall found-ed and continues to serve theLadies
Auxiliary for AmericanLegion Post 4 in Florence. Dona-tions can be
mailed to Norman-dy Beach Fund, c/o Moon Broth-ers 275, P.O. Box
36, Independ-ence, KY 41051.
Again, this is not about oneveteran, Schneider said. Itsabout
America. He representsall the men and women whocame home and those
whodidnt. We want to honor all ofthem through this project.

INDEPENDENCE Injust 10 weeks Christy Al-well raised $40,867
forthe The Leukemia andLymphoma Society.
The Independenceresident said she did it allin honor of one of
her bestfriends, Travis French.
He would have donethe same thing, Alwell,37, said. Travis
alwayswanted to help others. Idid this to carry on hislegacy.
French, who died inFebruary 2014, had bat-
tled myeloid leukemiafor a number of years. Al-well, 37, met
French in1998 while they were at-tending Northern Ken-tucky
University.
He was like a brotherto me, she said. I couldalways rely on
Travis.
Looking for a way toheal from the loss of herfriend, Alwell
decided totake part in the societys2015 Woman of the Yearchallenge
in which candi-dates across the countrycompete to raise the
mostfunds for blood cancer re-search.
Alwell conducted a va-riety of fundraising ac-tivities from
hosting an80s-themed party with acostume contest and si-lent
auction to holdingher own Facebook chal-lenge similar to the ALSIce
Bucket Challenge. In-stead of dousing them-selves with ice cold
wa-ter, Alwell challengedothers to stuff theirmouths full of
crackersand yell out Christycrushes cancer!
She may not have beenthe top fundraiser but herefforts were not
in vain.Tom Carleton, the cam-paign manager for the lo-cal chapter
of The Leuke-mia and Lymphoma Soci-ety, said that every
dollarcounts.
At the end of the dayour goal is to get treat-ments from the lab
to thebedside as quickly as pos-sible, he said. The mon-ey she
raised, and to raisemore than $40,000 in just10 weeks, is amazing,
con-tributed to that. Everydollar makes a differ-ence.
The Leukemia andLymphoma Society is theworld's largest
voluntaryhealth agency dedicatedto blood cancer. The mis-sion is to
cure leukemia,lymphoma, Hodgkinsdisease and myeloma andimprove the
quality oflife of patients and their
families. The Christy Alwells
of the world are incredi-bly important to us, Car-;eton said.
This chal-lenge is hard. The willing-ness to take it on says a
lotabout Christy. It showsthat she cares about hercommunity and
missesTravis and wishes he wasstill with us.
It also shows that shewants to impact the worldof cancer
research in hismemory and honor. Thatspeaks volumes of theperson
she is.
For Alwell the experi-ence was all about heal-ing.
It means a lot to me tohave had this opportuni-ty, she said.
This expe-rience has helped mecope with what has hap-pened. Its
helped meovercome.
One of the best things,Alwell, said is that a$50,000 grant will
be giv-en to a research project inFrenchs name.
Im so appreciative ofthis, Alwell said.

FLORENCE Possiblerivalries may developamong local police
de-partments this year, butits for a worthy cause.
The first Dodge-A-Cop dodgeball tourna-ment to benefit
SpecialOlympics Kentucky willtake place at 11 a.m. Sat-urday, July
25 at BooneCounty High School.Businesses, organiza-tions and
members of thecommunity are invited toform teams of 6 to 8 play-ers
and get creative witha name and uniforms.
All proceeds fromregistration and admis-sion to the
tournamentwill go to fund SpecialOlympics programs inKentucky.
The tournament is
part of the Law Enforce-ment Torch Run, a seriesof annual events
involv-ing more than 85,000 offi-cers internationally tobenefit
Special Olympicsprograms in their com-munities. The annualDHL Plane
Pull at the air-port is also part of thisprogram.
I think its just an av-enue to give back to thecommunity, said
Lt. To-ny Steimle of the Cincin-nati/Northern KentuckyInternational
Airport Po-lice Department. Try toraise money and aware-ness, and
at the sametime have a fun time.
The mission of SpecialOlympics is to provideyouth and adults
with in-tellectual disabilities theopportunity to demon-strate
courage, experi-ence joy and participatein a sharing of
gifts,skills and friendship bytraining and competingin a variety of
sports. Lo-cal programs are runcompletely by volun-teers, which is
why fund-raising from programslike the Torch Run is vi-tal.
Steimle developed thedodgeball idea last year,but his committee
of offi-
cers from the airport, Co-vington, Boone Countyand Florence
police de-partments wasnt able toprocure a gym until thisyear, when
Boone CountyHigh School donatedtheirs.
Boone County has alsoshown support in otherways: the football
teamagreed to sell conces-sions and school re-source officer
ChrisCombs helped obtain abouncy-house to enter-tain kids.
Registered Dodge-A-Cop teams will beplaced in a
double-elimi-nation bracket based onsimilarity of skill, andthe
tournament will beplayed with official Na-tional Dodgeball
Leaguedodgeballs. Winners willreceive T-shirts andbragging
rights.
Dodgeball is just afun activity, said Steim-le. I think
everybodycan relate to it whetherit be grade school or highschool,
I think every-bodys played dodgeballin gym class.
As for organizing asecond-annual Dodge-A-Cop event, Steimle
says,absolutely.
We (in law enforce-ment) care a lot aboutpeople, and this is
justanother way of showingthat, he said.

FORT MITCHELL Growing up MatthewZahler was not a
modelcitizen.
My dad had all thereasons to send me to mil-itary school when I
wasyoung, he said with alaugh.
His father, DennisZahler, agrees. He canclearly recall some
ofMatthews most notori-ous moments.
One instance waswhen my wife and I wereat dinner. Matt was
stay-ing with a friend and wehad our other two chil-dren at home
with a sit-ter, Dennis Zahler said.We got a call from thesitter
that someone wastrying to break in thehouse and was jumpingon the
roof of the familyroom. She called the FortMitchell Police and by
thetime we got home the po-lice had found no one. Wefound out later
that it wasMatt and his friend.
Another time the Zah-lers came home to findMatthews brother
lyinghalf way out of the family
room door to the garage,duct-taped like a mum-my.
I always have saidthat he was who we wor-ried about the most
whenhe was growing up andnow we worry about himthe least, except
when heis deployed, Dennis Zah-ler said.
One day, during his ju-nior year at BeechwoodHigh School,
MatthewZahler decided it wastime to grow up. Hejoined the Army
Reserveon a six-year delayed en-try plan.
I liked it, he said. Ineeded the discipline. Itwas good for me
and its
worked out well.After graduating in
1993, he entered theArmy Reserve as a full-time soldier and
eventu-ally joined the Air Force,where he now serves asan air
mobility liaison of-ficer. Now, Capt. Mat-thew Zahler provides
ex-pertise on the efficientuse of air mobility assetsto the
Army.
Hes seen a lot in his 22years of military service,including 13
deploymentsto Iraq and Afghanistan.
According to 1st Lt. Ja-cob Bailey, chief of publicaffairs for
the 621st Con-tingency Response Wing,while the deployment av-erage
for career fieldsacross the Air Force va-ries, air mobility
liaisonofficers (AMLOs) likeZahler possess a uniqueskill set and
present ahighly-sought after capa-bility to commandersduring
contingencies.

trol aspects of an exerciseor operation, and conductdrop zone
and landingzone operations, he said.Capt. Zahler's 13 deploy-ments
certainly reflect ahigh operations tempothat AMLOs across the
AirMobility Command com-munity continue to sup-port, whenever and
wher-ever needed.
Recently, while onleave, Zahler, 40, revisitedFort Mitchell,
where hewas recognized by the cityfor his service. A procla-mation
was read and July6 was named as Capt. Mat-thew Zahler Day in
thecity.
According to MayorJude Hehman, Zahlershigh school
classmate,called it a privilege to hon-or his old friend.
Weve known each oth-er practically all of ourlives. We went to
gradeschool and high school to-gether, Hehman said. Totake the path
he has takenand serving 13 tours takesan incredible, special
per-son and family.
Zahlers father and citycouncil member DennisZahler said he and
his wifeare so very proud oftheir son.
He has accomplishedmuch in his career, Den-nis Zahler said. With
hav-ing more than seven yearsof deployed duty in his 13deployments
he has alsobeen a great husband tohis wife and father to
hischildren. He has servedhis country well.
Matthew Zahler givescredit to his wife.
She has been a bless-ing, he said. Shes gonethrough a lot, when
otherswould have left or threat-ened to leave after thefourth
deployment, shehas stayed. We met be-tween deployments, dat-ed,
married and and twochildren between deploy-ments. Shes a rock.
Zahler said he has en-joyed his career in the mil-itary and has
three yearsleft before retirement. Hesaid one of his most
proudmoments was after hissecond deployment as anair mobility
liaison officer,when the Army presentedhim with a Bronze Star,which
is rarely given tomilitary members in other
branches of service, hesaid. The Bronze Star rec-ognizes acts of
heroismperformed in ground com-bat and recognizes singleacts of
merit and merito-rious service.
Another important ca-reer accomplishment wasin 1994 when he had
hisfirst six-month deploy-ment to Haiti during Oper-ation Restore
Democracy,he said. He served as abodyguard for then
Haitipresidential candidateJean Bertrand Aristide.
Even more than thetime he spent in the Army,Zahler said his love
of fly-ing and his time spent inthe Air Force helped fulfilla
lifetime dream.
Flying planes was adream come true, he said.Thats something I
hadwanted to do ever since Ican remember.
Of his 13 deployments,nine came since he hasbeen in the Air
Force,times he describes as mostdangerous. Zahler creditshis faith
for sustaininghim. Ive been blessed,he said. The Lord haswatched
over me.

JULY 23, 2015 SOUTH KENTON RECORDER 7ANEWS
Those of you who have anything planted in theground are in the
same boat we are: water and winddamage everywhere.
The veggie and herb gardens havetaken a hit with the latest
round ofstorms and damaging winds. Theywere both beautiful, since I
was hoe-ing and weeding every other day. ButMother Nature has a way
of puttingme in my place when I get just a littletoo proud. The
flower rows are flat-tened, and the Dent corn is horizontal.
Grandson Jacks cabbage, though,is looking great, and the vining
veg-gies and melons are holding their own.Im looking on the bright
side.
I love this watermelon salad recipe. It all startedwith Sue
Marks, when I appeared on her radio show,Food Thoughts, for the
Cincinnati Association forthe Blind and Visually Impaired. Any time
I guestwith Sue, its a party. Sue can make me smile with
just a twinkle in her eye.The theme was summer salads and
desserts. Sue
talked about Bobbie Deens watermelon salad. Heresmy adaptation,
and it was one of the salads I had thechildren make during a recent
garden to table classfor kids. Did they love it? Nothing was left
in the bowl,so thats a yes!
Readers want to knowWhat size pan for Quick coffeecake recipe?I
was bombarded with inquiries for the coffeecake
and the Solo almond filling for the pound cake recipepublished a
few weeks ago. This should clear both up.
For the coffeecake, I used a 9 inch Pyrex pie platebut an 8x8
pan will work well.
Solo almond cake and pastry filling: where do I findit?
Jungle Jims Fairfield and Eastgate are both carry-ing it again.
They did have it earlier but a reader saidthey ran out. (Im
assuming after the recipe was pub-lished). Some readers found it at
a couple of Meijers
and Walmart but not at some Kroger stores. Hopefullyall three
will be carrying it now. Call the store beforegoing.
Refrigerator/freezer picklesSeveral of you misplaced the recipe.
Its in my on-
line column.
Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educator, Jungle
JimsEastgate culinary professional and author. Find her blog
onlineat Abouteating.com. Call 513-248-7130, ext. 356.
Watermelon with mint and feta
Use the ripest melon. Check out my site Abouteating.comfor tips
on buying melons.
Fill a bowl with cut watermelon, about 3 pounds or so.Add feta
cheese, about 1/2 cup or more.Add a good handful fresh mint, torn
or chopped more is
better.Set aside while you prepare onion:Thinly slice 1/2 of
small red onion and put in bowl.Mix together 1/4 cup each seasoned
rice wine vinegar or
white balsamic vinegar and vegetable oil.Pour over onion and let
sit a few minutes.Pour onion mixture over watermelon mixture and
toss
gently. Add salt and pepper if you like.Why this recipe is good
for you: Watermelon contains B vitamins and folate, especially
good for women of child-bearing years. It also contains
lyco-pene, which is good for prostate health.
Eat at room temperature! The lycopene increases atroom
temperature.
Mint contains fiber and is good for digestion. Onions enhance
heart health.
Oven fried zucchini spears with Romanocheese crust
For those of you who are wishing you had yet anotherrecipe for
all that zucchini, heres a nice one.
Several small or medium size zucchini, cut into spearsFlour2 egg
whites, beaten1 cup Panko or other bread crumbs3/4 cup Romano
cheese1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or lemon pepper1/2 teaspoon
garlic powder (optional)Preheat oven to 425 and spray cookie
sheets.Dredge zucchini in flour, then coat all over with egg

The bus with oddly cur-tained windows trudged upthe steep
mountainside with20 eager individuals in tow.My eyes were glued to
theunfamiliar landscape dottedwith scrap metal houses andstrangers
curious stares.
It was a two-hour bus rideto the school we were to
paintalongside the Santo DomingoRotary Club and what wouldbe our
first project of manyon the island. Upon our arriv-al, we all
filtered out of thebus into an oppressive heatthat seemed to ignore
theshadow cast by dense, grayclouds looming over themountain peaks.
With thethreat of rain, the grouperupted into a scramble.
Teams were formed, andjobs issued. The walls wereall painted a
yellow thatlooked almost sickly on itsown, so we began
paintingcharming little scenes tomake it more inviting. So, oncame
the dinosaurs, flowers,
puppy dogs,and a wholeconglomer-ation of pre-cious
littledrawings.
I, a LloydHigh Schoolstudent, foundmyself paint-ing somepuffy
whiteclouds andswooping
gulls while Addia Wuchner, astate representative, painteda
beckoning sea beneaththem. Working with her onthat first day
revealed to methat there wasnt such a gapbetween our different
walksof life as I previously hadthought. We were all
sweaty,paint-splattered messes thatday.
There was a long whilewhere I was lost in my work,but as I took
a step back toreview my progress I noticeda small crowd of children
and
a few adults had formed at thegates. I saw them with beam-ing,
laughing faces. I sawthem pointing at pieces theyliked and chatting
with thepainters. Id like to think thatthey were the same
childrenwho would be attending theschool, but maybe they werejust
fascinated by the pecu-liarly speaking foreigners intheir quaint
village.
All I knew at the time wasthat, someday soon, childrenwould be
greeted by a shiningsea and friendly flowers ev-ery sleepy morning
and nolonger feel disregarded bythe world. I just wanted themto
feel like they mattered, andI believe we were able to ac-complish
that. With all of thehouses, schools, and churcheswe painted, the
children fromthe schools and the orphanagewe visited, all of the
clothes,sports equipment, school andmedical supplies we donated,we
maintained that mentality.
We endured six long days
of sweat stains, mosquitobites, and paint that just re-fuses to
come off. However, itis an immensely satisfyingfeeling to leave a
place betterthan you found it; to knowthat someone is now better
offbecause you chose to takeaction. Too many of todaysyouth are
idle, and remainunexposed to the hardships ofworld outside our own
privi-leged one.
Adolescents are accus-tomed to hard work in an aca-demic or
laborious light, butvery few have charitableexperience that teaches
hu-mility and selflessness thatcant be taught elsewhere.That is why
I am so gratefulto the Kenton County andFlorence Rotary
foundationsfor providing me and manyother teens the opportunity
togo to the Dominican Republic.Clubs and organizations likeRotary
are not only changinglives of the less fortunate, butlives like
mine as well.
It was easy for me to re-main indifferent when I wasconstantly
sheltered from theunpleasant truth of things,but once I was exposed
toanothers harsh reality I couldno longer bring myself to lookthe
other way. I never knewhow easy it could be to make adifference
when you arealongside friends compelledto do the same, and I will
nev-er again allow myself to becomplacent as long as there iswork
yet to be done.
Isabel Harrison is a junior at LloydHigh School who participated
in amission trip to the Dominican Re-publican in June. The trip was
spon-sored by the Rawlings Foundation,Florence Rotary Foundation
and theKenton County Rotary. Sixteenyouths and four adults on the
tripinteracted with local residents,school children, and residents
of anorphanage. They also painted sixhomes, one small church, and
asecurity wall around a primaryschool.
Leaving a place better than you found it
IsabelHarrisonCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST
Greater Cincinnati is nobush-league region.
However, if you judge a re-gions vibrancy by the diversityand
value of its airline service,we come up short.
Thankfully, Kenton CountyJudge-Executive Kris Knoch-elmann has
set in motion a planto reverse course. He haspushed for changes in
the Ken-ton County Airport Boardstructure that should lead
togreater transparency and eco-nomic growth and give the re-gion
the kind of airline serviceit merits.
Knochelmann was in favorof reducing his own power toappoint all
executive boardmembers, and capped theamount of money board
mem-bers can spend on travel. Nomore lavish, boozy trips sometimes
out of the country for board members and theirspouses on the
company dime.
Knochelmanns moves caninspire confidence in the waythe airport
is governed andpave the way for greater com-petition among air
carriers, asDeltas long-term contract withthe airport ends in
December.
While the airport has recentlyattracted lower-cost airlinessuch
as Allegiant Air, Delta hasbeen the dominant carrier formore than
40 years.
Under its reign, Cincinnatiairfares rose to among thehighest in
the nation while ourtravel options steadily dwin-dled. Delta has
cut hundreds offlights over the past decade.Charter carriers
emerged, pro-viding a smattering of limitedbut attractive business
and lei-sure travel options. Dayton orColumbus have welcomed
itsshare of Cincinnati-area travel-ers seeking better deals.
While the change in theboard governance is good, it
isunfortunate Ohio representa-tion on the board is prohibitedby the
Kentucky state Legisla-ture. What a short-sighted deci-sion
considering most airportcustomers are from Ohio.
Someforward-thinking Kentuckylawmaker should try to correctthis
mistake at the first chance.
Meanwhile, Knochelmanncan consider appointing moreleaders with
deep ties on bothsides of the Ohio River to joinexisting members
from FifthThird Bank, Kroger and Castel-lini Group who live in
NorthernKentucky.
Knochelmann should alsostrongly consider beefing upthe boards
racial and ethnic di-versity, given the departure ofCincinnati
State UniversityPresident, Dr. Odell Owens,the lone African
Americanmember on the board.
The strength of a regionsairport represents tip of thespear of
economic develop-ment and is a point of pride.Many travelers can
rememberwhen Cincinnati boasted dailyinternational flights and
manynon-stop fares to major cities.
While 9/11 and other forcessignificantly disrupted the air-line
industry, there is no reasonGreater Cincinnati cant re-claim a
dominant market posi-tion.
We are encouraged by thisnew way forward.
EDITORIAL
A positive wayforward for CVG
Syringe exchangeprogram can save lives
As an activist Republican,I was shocked and embar-rassed to see
RepublicanState Sen. John Schickelequate needle exchange pro-grams
with the Holocaust.
Schickel said, The exter-mination of Jews in WorldWar II was
done in the nameof public health. He thensaid, Now we have
healthofficials and the legislaturetelling us we as taxpayers,must
pay for the hardware(needles) for drug users toinject an illegal
substanceinto their bodies all in thename of public health.
Schickelss commentsdisplay a degree of ignoranceabout syringe
exchange pro-grams that I find appalling.His comments do not
reflectthe views of anyone whounderstands the critical na-ture of
the addiction to her-oin.
As background, the appro-priate name for the exchange
programs is Syringe Ex-change Program (SEP). Theentire syringe
with the nee-dle attached is required.Here are some of the
benefitsthat SEP programs provide.
SEP gives syringes val-ue so users will exchangethem instead of
throwingthem away. It is a one forone exchange. SEP protectsmembers
of the public in-cluding children, first re-sponders, trash
collectorsand others from the dangersof infectious wounds
anddisease caused by injuryfrom discarded syringes.Turning in the
dirty syringesprevents the spread of hepa-titis C (HCV) and
HIV.
SEP reduces the rate ofHIV and HCV infectionamong drug users
becausethe dirty needles are notshared. Participants in SEPare
tested for both HCV andHIV and referred to healthclinics for
treatment whenthey are detected. The Hepa-titis C virus is the
leadingcause for liver transplants in
the US. SEP also providesfirst aid treatment for bacte-rial
infections from needlepuncture wounds.
SEP provides to partici-pants counseling on detox,drug
withdrawal, drug treat-ment and life skills. SEPincreases
enrollment in drugtreatment programs becausethe SEP administrators
areable to gain the trust of theparticipants through
theircounseling. Treatment pro-grams can get addicts into
acontinuing pattern of recov-ery and help them lead nor-mal
lives.
To sum it up, SEP can savelives. Considering the num-ber of
heroin overdose deathsbeing reported, SEP is a plus.
Judging from SenatorSchickels comments, I be-lieve he and his
constituentsneed to learn more about thebenefits of drug
treatmentprograms generally. Schickelis becoming an embarrass-ment
to Republicans.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Last weeks questionHave you visited Smale Park,
on the riverfront? What are yourfavorite features of the
park?

Kristy Preece
The whole area is wonder-ful, the swings, fountains, gar-dens
and Carousel are allamazing. Add in the restau-rants at The Banks
and youhave something for every-one.
Suzie McGuire Langen
The Banks, GABP, SmalePark, all have gotten rave re-views by
those visiting Cincin-nati for All-Star week. Thenext phase of
construction hasbegun with additional housing,parking, office,
retail and a ho-tel coming soon. When wemoved to the area in 2008,
theland between the two stadiumswas a barren wasteland. The
improvements to the water-front area in Cincinnati, New-port and
Covington are some-thing to be proud of. It's greatto see the
residents from Ohio,Kentucky and Indiana comeout in droves to enjoy
all that itoffers.
Jim Longano
I think if you ask the Quinngirls, it's the fountain near
theCarousel.

2B SOUTH KENTON RECORDER JULY 23, 2015 LIFE
While the Major LeagueBaseball All-Star Game capti-vated
Cincinnatians last week,local baseball players were get-ting ready
for midsummer clas-sic dreams of their own.
The Cincinnati Steam hadfour players who were set torepresent
the team in the 2015Great Lakes Summer Colle-giate League All-Star
on Tues-day, July 21 at Prasco Park inMason.
First baseman Trey Ganns,designated hitter Andy Roser,shortstop
Andre Jernigan andstarting pitcher Hunter Dunnwere selected by a
committee ofleague coaches and generalmanagers.
Each team was granted twoautomatic picks (one pitcherand one
position player) andwas able to nominate six play-ers (two pitchers
and four posi-tions players) that went up forvote by the leagues
head coach-es.
Ganns, who was the teamsautomatic pick as a positionplayer, was
set for first base inthe all-star game. The Burling-ton native led
the team (as ofJuly 16) with a .337 batting aver-age. Ganns also
leads the Steamwith 16 RBI, 35 hits and is tiedwith the team lead
in home runs.The Boone County High Schoolgraduate was a member of
theAtlantic Sun All-Freshmanteam for Northern
KentuckyUniversity.
Dunn, who plays for EasternKentucky University, was theautomatic
pick for the Steam asa pitcher. Dunn leads theGLSCL with 44
strikeouts in 35innings of work while walkingjust seven batters.
The Flor-ence native has a 2-2 record forthe season with a 3.86 ERA
in sixappearances, five of which arestarts and has a save in his
onlyrelief appearance. Dunn is agraduate of Cooper HighSchool.
Roser, who is a catcher bytrade, will represent the Steamas a
designated hitter. Roser,who plays for Huntington Uni-versity, is
hitting .321 for theseason with 27 hits in 84 at-bats.The Roann,
Indiana nativeis currently second on theSteam with 12 RBIs and
threesacrifice flies.
Jernigan, who plays for Xa-vier University, will representthe
Steam at shortstop. The FortWayne, Indiana native hasplayed every
inning of everygame for the Steam throughJuly 16. Jernigan leads
the teamwith 11 stolen bases and 17 runsscored while hitting
.264.
The Steam end the regularseason with two more homegames,
Thursday July 23 (7:05p.m.) and Saturday July 25 (4:35p.m.)
The Florence Freedom hadthree players in the FrontierLeague
All-Star Game July 15 inSchaumburg, Ill..
All three players werenamed to the all-star teamthanks to a vote
of the leaguesgeneral managers, broadcast-ers, managers, coaches
and lo-cal media.
Catcher Gaby Juarbe, in-fielder Sam Eberle and infield-er Daniel
Fraga represented theteam.
All three players had twoplate appearances for the Eastteam in
the all-star game, whichwas won by the West, 4-2.Juarbe and Eberle
were 0-for-2,and Fraga was 0-for-1 with awalk.
Juarbe has really im-pressed our coaching staff, andhis peers,
for that matter, Free-dom manager Dennis Pelfreysaid. He is off to
a fantasticstart this year with a chance tolead us into the
playoffs with astrong second half. His offsea-son work has paid off
for him,coming in as a second year pro.
After not getting a lot of play-ing time during the first part
ofthe 2014 season, Juarbe got hischance after the Freedom trad-ed
2014 All-Star catcher Joe Sta-ley to River City. In 32 gamesfor
Florence in 2014, Juarbe hit.244 with nine RBI while play-ing
excellent defense behindthe plate.
This is the second all-star se-lection for Eberle.
Eberle is a proven playerhere in the Frontier League,Pelfrey
said. He continues tohit. He is a leader for us, a staplein the
middle of our order, and apro. We couldn't ask for a betterfirst
baseman on our club. De-fensively he finishes plays forwhat we
believe is the best in-field in the league.
Eberle led the FrontierLeague in OBP in 2014 as hereached base
46.2 percent of thetime he came to the plate. His.346 batting
average and 64walks were both good for thirdin the league. The
corner in-fielder led the Freedom in near-ly every offensive
category in-cluding batting average, runsscored (53), hits (110),
doubles(22), home runs (8, tied with RobKelly), RBI (45), total
bases(160), walks, OBP, SLG (.503),and OPS (.965). He was namedboth
a mid-season and a post-season all-star last season.
This is the first all-star selec-tion for Fraga.
Fraga has proven to be avery dangerous hitter in thisleague,
Pelfrey said. He is atough out and is able to fight offtough
pitches at the plate alongwith being a threat on the bases.He is
one of the best rookies inthe league and an outstandingdefender at
second base aswell.
Fraga played his final twoseasons of college baseball at D-II
UNC Pembroke after trans-ferring from Catawba ValleyCommunity
College.
The Freedom play at homeJuly 23-26 then are on the roadthrough
Aug. 2 before return-ing home Aug. 5-6.

When many people think ofAAU boys basketball, they pic-ture fast
breaks, dunks, andlots of points.
Chris McGuire has stresseda more well-rounded approachto his
13-and-under boys bas-ketball team, and that ap-proach helped the
team win anational championship earlierthis month.
The NKY Legends Elite wonthe Division 2 national title
inGreensboro, North Carolinaplaying in the 22,000-seatGreensboro
Coliseum.McGuire said its a rare accom-plishment for a local team,
pos-sibly the first one ever fromthat age level.
For the area, it puts North-ern Kentucky on the map, cou-pled
with the success Cov Cathhas had at the state level,McGuire said.
It lets peopleknow there is basketball inNorthern Kentucky.
The players will all beeighth-graders this fall at eight
different schools, and willeventually land in at least
dif-ferent high schools: Beech-wood, Covington Catholic,Highlands,
Newport, NewportCentral Catholic and Ryle.
This group has been to-gether for two years,McGuire said. Theyre
bestfriends off the court eventhough they go to eight differ-ent
grade schools. Theyre notdominating individual playersbut when they
work within thesystem they get great results.
McGuire, of CrescentSprings, has run the programfor several
years, and coachesthe team with Richard Skinner,the head coach who
managesthe team in games. The teamhas a 67-12 overall record,
witheight of those losses to olderteams.
Weve played against big-ger, stronger, faster teams toprepare
our kids, McGuiresaid.
The team has played 15 tour-naments this year, winning 11of
them, with two more to comein Indianapolis and Louisville
the rest of the month.Theyve succeeded with de-
fense, rebounding and pa-tience. McGuire said the Leg-ends
played teams that wereaveraging 80 points and up inGreensboro and
limited themto half that output.
Kids buying in and playinga certain style of basketball,McGuire
said. Were a not atransition team who will score100 points on
layups. We runour sets, play halfcourt, getopen shots for all the
kids. Westay within the system.
The team is based atHolmes High School and prac-tices at some
other gyms aswell.
We slow the game downand guard people like its no-bodys
business, McGuiresaid. AAU basketball hasturned into transition and
howfast can we get up and down thefloor. We box out and dont giveup
second chance posses-sions.

IN THE SERVICE
See SERVICE, Page 5B
Dear God, why do Ikeep doing this? I oftenpray this prayer when
Iseem to fall into thesame old pits of sin Ivebeen falling into
foryears. Committing thesame acts of disobe-dience Ive been
prayingfor deliverance from,and wondering why Godwont heal me.
Its true for most of uson this journey to growstronger in our
faith. Weseem to conquer manyof the sins that hold usback only to
find thatthere is still this darkand dusty corner of ourhearts that
wont seemto let go and let God.
The sins in this darkand dusty corner of ourhearts vary from
personto person. For one, itmay be holding onto
thealcohol/pills/cigarettesthat help them relax,focus and get
throughlife. For another, theycant seem to let go ofthe
debilitating worriesin life; family, finances,health, the future of
ourcountry. (If they dontcarry the burden, whowill?)
Yet, Gods promiseson these (and so many
otherissues)in hisword areendless.Themore Iread, themore Iam
con-vinced ofHis pow-er. The
power to change myheart, cleanse me of mysins and provide all
thatI need. And God willgenerously provide allyou need. Then you
willalways have everythingyou need and plenty leftover to share
with oth-ers. 2 Corinthians 9:8
Ive often wonderedhow so many people Ideem as such
strongChristians seem so suc-cessful in some areas inlife, yet
crippled in oth-ers. Experiencing truefreedom and delive-rance in
some areas, yetI can almost see theprison walls surround-ing them
in other areas.
God wants us to expe-rience freedom anddeliverance from all
sin,and to experience theabundant life He
planned for us long ago.The problem is that al-though we are
believ-ers, we are not receiv-ers. We read Godsword, say that we
be-lieve it, but live a life instark contrast. The wordsays, Do not
worry(Phil. 4:6) yet I amrobbed of daily peacebecause of my
worries.The word says, Cast allyour cares upon him, forhe cares for
you. (1 Peter5:7) Yet, my self-reliancekeeps me from prayingabout
my weight or oth-er areas I deem I need tobe more
self-disciplined.
Today if ye will hearhis voice, Harden notyour hearts
Hebrews3:7, 8. In other words,dont be so hard head-ed, (a loving
termcoined by my father.)When you read Godspromises today
aboutprotection, provision,safety, and abundance,simply say; Thank
youGod. I dont just believe;I receive.
