BURLINGTON — The new sea-son at the Boone County Farm-ers Market brings a basket fullof fresh changes along with lo-cal produce, plants, flowers andother products.

Market manager Coy Wilsonsaid chicken, beef and porkproducts and home-based mi-croprocessing products will beavailable this summer at themarket, open every day from 10a.m. to 5 p.m. at 6028 CampErnst Road.

The farmers market is on theBoone County Extension Office,which is accessible off CampErnst Road and BurlingtonPike.

Also in Boone County,Friendly Market on NorbottenDrive in Florence, has an out-door farmers market pavilion.

“This is my 10th year , and it’sthe most growth I’ve ever seenover one season,” said Wilson.“Probably 40 percent of themembers coming in this yearare new, and there are severalwho have shared their productshere before.”

The new Enrichment Center,adjacent to the market, will alsooffer some new amenities.

The building will be accessi-ble during market times so visi-tors can use the restrooms andwater fountains indoors.

Classes and programs of-

fered at the Enrichment Centerwill also feature produce andfarmers who participate in themarket.

“Every single thing at ourmarket is locally grown andproduced right here in North-ern Kentucky,” said Wilson. “Ittakes the guess work out of won-dering where stuff comes from.When you come here, you’rebuying from the person whogrew it or produced it.”

Keith Crigger said buying lo-cal is especially important forhoney.

sells his Crigger Farm honey onSaturdays at the Boone CountyFarmers Market.

“It is difficult if not impossi-ble to identify the true sourceand content of many honeyssold in stores,” he said. “Someare diluted or heated and fil-tered to levels that diminishmany of the health benefits ofpure honey. Also, some studieshave indicated that pesticideand herbicide levels in storehoney are extremely high. Inaddition, local honey is believed

FLORENCE — More than 350people have already signed upfor the second Honor Run HalfMarathon, set to take placeNov. 15 throughout the city ofFlorence.

The Honor Run Half Mara-thon closed several mainstreets during the first racelast year, when 1,100 partici-pants contributed $27,000 to fi-nance Honor Flight Tri-State,which sends local veterans ofWorld War II, Korea and Viet-nam to visit memorials inWashington, D.C.

“Last year, we were goinginto it hoping we were going todraw 500 runners,” said ScottSpicher, race founder. “Thatrace generated enough moneyfor 70 veterans to experiencethe Honor Flight trip. For allthe headaches and planning, tobe able to see those 70 veteranstake part and see everything inD.C. makes everything wellworth it.”

This year, he expects 3,000participants.

“More than ever, it’s impor-tant to make sure the residentsare as aware as humanly possi-ble,” Spicher said. “This is go-ing to be huge.”

The race’s 13.1-mile routestarts and ends at the FlorenceMall, traveling on Mall Road,

Houston Road, Aero Parkway,through the Cincinnati/North-ern Kentucky InternationalAirport and Turfway Park, andalong Burlington Pike, or Ky.18.

“There was some difficultyon the roads,” Spicher said. “Itwas tough, especially on theHouston Road corridor downby Sam’s Club. That’s one of thereasons why we moved therace to Sunday. It should beeasier on people driving to getin and out of the places theyusually visit.”

Spicher said the course ischallenging for runners, but hewants it to be a little easier fordrivers and residents.

“We want to be good citi-zens. We want the communityto participate in this event andnot be upset because we’reclogging up all the roads,” hesaid. “I’d love to see all of Flor-ence, all of Boone County, all ofNorthern Kentucky to comeline the streets and cheer peo-ple on, or come to run and justcelebrate our veterans.”

The course, Spicher said, is“a running tour of the city ofFlorence. It’s the only runningevent that goes inside the air-port. We run along the DHLrunway during active flighttimes.”

Crigger’s farm has beehives throughout North-ern Kentucky and says hemakes every effort to lim-it their exposure to pesti-cides and herbicides.

“We believe the localfarmers markets give thecommunity a chance toknow where and how theirfood products are pro-duced, and to get any

questions or concerns an-swered directly by thefarmer. That opportunityjust doesn't usually existwith products purchasedat grocery stores,” hesaid.

Wilson said the mar-ket’s region covers ninecounties – Boone, Brack-en, Campbell, Carroll,Gallatin, Grant, Kenton,Owen and Pendleton.

“We pretty well havemembers from all of thosecounties,” he said.

While the market isgearing up, there aremore plants, flowers and

products offered ratherthan fruits and vegeta-bles.

“We will see the firstproduce in mid-June,”Wilson said. “It could be alittle earlier this year, giv-en it’s been a little hotterearly on.”

INDEPENDENCE — Asimple 5K race that thegroup NKY Hates Her-oin organized, expectinga few hundred walkersor runners, has drawnmore than 1,000 pre-reg-istered participants.

“We are very over-whelmed, in a good way,with the outcome,” saidGina Stegner, chair ofthe event. “We would’venever in a million yearsguessed that we’d haveso many people.”

The NKYHatesHe-roin.com 5K Walk & Runis set to begin at 8:30 a.m.Saturday with day-ofregistration beginning at7 a.m. at Simon KentonHigh School.

Be sure to park awayfrom the school in areaparking lots, said Inde-pendence Police Capt.Tony Lucas.

“We are expecting ahuge crowd,” Lucas said.

The city of Independ-

ence is hosting the race. Po-lice officers, the depart-ment’s Explorer Post andKenton County Sheriff’sDepartment deputies willhandle traffic and crowds,Lucas said.

The event initiallyseemed fairly routine and“just snowballed,” Lucassaid.

“It was an easy snow-ball,” he said. “It was justpeople saying, ‘How can Ihelp?’”

More than 100 volun-teers and businesses arehelping by donating two-way radios for the event’scoordinators, water, porta-ble toilets or their presencefor race day. Among thevolunteers will be 15 to 20recovering addicts fromthe Grateful Life Center, arehabilitation center runby Transitions Inc. ofNorthern Kentucky.

Northern Kentucky hasbeen a center of the nation-wide heroin epidemic, andLucas has no doubt whythere is such a groundswellof support for the race:

“Everybody you talk toin the community – ev-erybody – knows some-body who’s beentouched by this drug. Byheroin.”

Including the NKYHates Heroin organiza-tion itself, an extendedfamily from Fort Thom-as who last year en-dured the shockingdeath of one of theirown, Nicholas Specht,who died from a heroinoverdose Aug. 8 behindthe locked bathroomdoor of his parents’home. He was 30.

Within a week ofSpecht’s death, the fam-ily formed the websiteand Facebook page thatdrew hundreds of“likes.” Specht’s par-ents, Holly and EricSpecht, and his grand-parents, uncles andaunts and others speakto people in the commu-nity and kids at schoolsabout heroin. Familymembers have joinedthe Northern KentuckyPeople Advocating Re-covery, or PAR, chapter.They’ve headed toFrankfort to fight forlegislation that would in-crease the accessibilityof naloxone – a lifesav-ing drug that blocks her-oin and other opiatesfrom taking effect,drawing people fromoverdose to full breath-ing and ultimately, life.

BURLINGTON — BooneCounty libraries are al-most a second home to To-nya Green and her chil-dren.

They come through thedoors of the Schebenbranch in Union wearingsmiles and carryingstacks of books.

Christian, 5, headsstraight for the CuriousGeorge books. Brynn, 7,likes to read fairy talesand books about prin-cesses. Tyler, 10, prefersto read about video gamesor something from theMagic Tree House series.

These Florence sib-lings each already earneda free book from thisyear’s Summer Reading

Program. “I read 10 books a day,”

said Brynn. “Mom doesn’teven tell me to read any-more. I just read.”

Brynn especially likesthe summer reading pro-gram, and she definitelyknows what her favoritepart of the program is.

“Reading is the bestpart,” she said.

Boone’s Summer Read-ing Program has alreadystarted, said BeckyKempf, library spokes-woman. This year’s pro-gram has a super theme,and even offers super-hero capes as a prize.

“Everyone is welcometo participate,” she said.You do not have to live inBoone County to be part ofthis program or have a li-brary card. We encourage

parents to read to theirbrand new babies and, ofcourse, we want children,teens and adults of allages to participate.”

Instead of differentage-level programs withdiffering prizes and activ-ities, this year there aretwo programs: a youthprogram for readers 17and younger, and an adultprogram for those 18 andup. In the youth program,every five hours of read-ing equals an entry in adrawing for a Dell Venue8 Pro tablet, and they canchoose a second prizefrom among a superherocape, a double-walledtumbler with straw, orfive Library Bucks. Li-brary Bucks can be usedin book sales or to payfines.


Brynn, Christian and Tyler Green of Florence participate in the Boone County Public Library’sSummer Reading Program.

BURLINGTON — “O, had I but followed the arts!”Act 1, Scene 3 of “Twelfth Night” gives us this

memorable line. But members of a teen Shake-speare society certainly don’t share this regret.

The Lively Shakespeare Company, made up ofhome-school students from Boone and Grant coun-ties, performed “Twelfth Night” to an audience of70 people May 9 at the main branch of the BooneCounty Public Library in Burlington.

The play was a culmination of two semester’sstudy of the Bard of Avon by students aged 10 to 17.

“They spend the first few months of the year inacting games, learning to become familiar withShakespeare’s work, but even more becoming com-fortable on the stage in front of others,” saidHeather Schader Tenney, assistant director of“Twelfth Night” and a home-school mother of two.

“They had a recital of his sonnets in December.Then in January we pick a play. They audition andlearn their roles,” said Tenney, also a part-timephotographer and marketer.

The name of the group comes from founderCarlotta Lively, who home schools her nine chil-dren.

“The group has had many formations over theyears. This current version formed in 2014,” Ten-ney said.

“The goal is to help the students become famil-iar with Shakespeare, and discover that his worksare not just some stuffy old words, but in fact arerich, dynamic and alive even today,” said Tenney,who like Lively lives in the Oakbrook subdivisionin Boone County.

“They all learn – without us really decoding itfor them – what his words mean, that these areeveryday characters like we find in our own life.”

Asked about the colorful costumes used in“Twelfth Night,” Tenney said Lively has collectedcostumes over the last nine years. “There weretrunks and trunks of them.”

The Lively Shakespeare Company will take abreak during the summer. Then it picks back up inthe fall. Nothing is set in stone as far as futureproductions, but next year’s play is sure to havehumor.

“We keep to comedies,” Tenney said. “Teens lovethem.”

When I was a young mother, my mom, Mary Nader,would try to teach me how to cook our traditionalLebanese food. I say “try” because it didn’t come easyto me. Mom never measured - she said her handswere the best utensils. Ring a bell with any of you? I

bet it does, especially when you makethose heirloom recipes handed downfor generations. And I’m still learning.

My dear friends, Joe and MarylouZarick, Mason readers, have had me intheir kitchen making Lebanese breadand sfeehah, bread stuffed with meatand seasonings.

I can now say my Lebanese food isdelicious, and yes, I use my hands formeasuring and mixing. My familyloves the food, and laughs when I sayMom’s was still better.

One dish we make is our yogurt dip, with Laban/homemade yogurt, along with cucumber, mint andgarlic. Now making this dip with homemade yogurtresults in a pretty loose mixture, even when I strainthe yogurt overnight. I wanted to serve a thicker

version of this in a Lebanese class I taught and KayHitzler came to the rescue.

Kay, a West Side reader, and I have been cookingbuddies for years. We first met at Jungle Jims andimmediately connected when she was my sous chef.Kay is a skilled, compassionate nurse by day and apassionate, talented foodie by night. I can’t tell youhow many good recipes she, along with her mom,Jean Shirley, have given me. Kay’s Tzatziki sauce isthe best. She has been sharing it with friends andfamily for years. It goes with so many summer dish-es, from salmon to chicken to crudités.

Lebanese Festival at St. Anthony of PaduaSunday, June 14 from noon to 8 p.m.961-0120 StAnthonyofPaduaChurch.comEnjoy both the yogurt dip and hummus without

lifting a finger. Stop by the Lebanese Mahrajan festi-val and enjoy the abundance of authentic homemadeLebanese food. I’m getting hungry now just thinkingabout kibbee, shish kebabs, salads, breads, greenbeans with tomatoes, and, of course, all those sinfulpastries…

Middle Eastern fare gets dippyKay Hitzler’s Tzatziki/yogurt cucumber dip

You can buy Greek yogurt already strained. Greekyogurt is thicker than regular and contains more protein.The garlic and olive oil are good for your heart, the vitaminC in the lemon helps your immune system and helps detox-ify your liver, and the mint is high in fiber and good fordigestion.

1 English or regular large cucumber, peeled if desired,seeded, shredded

Salt1-1/2 cups whole milk Greek yogurt, strained1 clove garlic, minced or more to taste2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil1 tablespoon lemon juice1/4 cup chopped fresh mintSalt to taste

Place cucumber in strainer over a bowl and sprinklewith a little salt and let stand for 15 minutes. Meanwhile,place yogurt in a strainer and let drain for 15 minutes, thendiscard liquid. Squeeze the cucumber in a towel to removeas much liquid as possible. Mix everything together.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen: Remove seeds from cucumberCut in half longways and take a small spoon and run

it down the center, scooping up seeds as you go.

Rita’s hummusI may as well go full tilt here and share another Mid-

dle Eastern favorite. It’s one of my most requested whichI’ve shared with you before. For Jennifer, an Eastside read-er. “Store bought hummus is way too expensive”, she said.Better than anything you can buy and a lot less costly. LittleEmerson, my granddaughter, loves hummus.If too thick,add a little water.

1 can, 15 oz, chick peas, drained, rinsed and drained1 teaspoon minced garlicLemon juice, olive oil and Tahini (ground sesame seed

“paste”) to taste - start with 3 tablespoons and gofrom there

Salt to tasteCumin to taste – start with a teaspoonWhole milk Greek yogurt to taste - start with 1/4 cup

Mash chickpeas by hand or in food processor until ofdesired smoothness. Add everything else and mix.

A close look at Unionroadsides is not pretty

A group of high school stu-dents and I had the opportuni-ty this past weekend to collecttrash in Union. It was a veryhumbling experience havingto walk around and pick upsomeone else’s trash whilecars sped by you, probablythinking you were some typeof convict or serving yourcommunity service hours.

It was, however, a good ex-perience and I think welearned a lot from it.

Driving on these roads allthe time, it’s hard to notice allof the garbage that litters thestreets. It isn’t until you walkeach mile that you really seeeverything that is thrown out.I wish people would thinktwice next time before decid-ing to toss out an old soda bot-tle or beer can. No one wantsto see garbage all over thestreets as they’re drivingthrough Northern Kentucky.I’m proud to live here andwant it to appear welcomingto others, but sometimes Ithink we become lazy or igno-rant of that and don’t realizewhat we’re doing when wesimply toss something out thewindow.

Uh, ever heard of a trashcan?

The Trash for Cash fund-raiser our group participatedin on April 24 was a great ex-perience for all that partici-pated. We’ve all been toldfrom a young age to not litter,and to protect care of the en-vironment.

I’m sure we’d all picked uptrash at our homes, but itgives you a different perspec-tive when you clean an areathat is not yours. We allthought to ourselves how wewould not have to be out herepicking up trash if people justdid something as simple asthrow their stuff away in atrash can!

The area we cleaned nearWildcat Boulevard was fairlyclean for the most part. Therewas one area on our route thatmade up for that. The areahad gathered a ton of trashranging from fast food bags,metal pipes, clothing, and al-cohol bottles. We spent themajority of our time in thissection. Overall it was a greatexperience for us to bond as agroup, while doing somethinggreat for the environment.We appreciate the opportuni-ty to take part in this event,and we hope to be involvednext year.

Team promises notcontribute to litter

The 8U Panthers baseballteam in the Northern Ken-tucky Baseball League re-cently participated in theBoone County Trash For Cashprogram. It seemed like agreat way to fundraise forneeded uniforms and equip-ment while spending timewith teammates.

We were assigned tworoads in Boone County (OldU.S. 42 and Cavalry.) As Idrove the roads beforehand, Idid not see much trash andthought we were given an“easy” assignment.

We arrived, split up and be-gan working. This “easy” as-signment was not what itseemed. As we walked theroads, we came across hun-dreds of beer bottles, fastfood wrappers, and ciga-rettes. The boys could not be-lieve what was hidden in thebrush along the road. As wewalked, they speculated whattype of person would just tossgarbage out of a window whenthere are so many placesnearby to dispose of garbage.

The boys were disgustedby the numerous cigarettebutts and promised never tocontribute to the litter on ourroads. If everyone could havethis experience, the countywould certainly be cleaner!

Don’t smokers have theirown ash trays?

Let’s see, what did we learnfrom this whole experience ofpicking up trash alongsideConner Road?

I learned that cigarettesmokers must not have atrash can at home, or recog-nize one at the store, bowlingalley, gas station or else-where. I continue to be embar-rassed that drivers of all agesthink its OK to discard any-thing at all out the window. Ilearned that I would like to bea part of the solution and notpart of the problem. I learnedthat fast food establishmentsin this area are doing well, be-cause I am picking up theirsacks, straws and cups.

I would like my neighborsto know that I am not yourmother. I may pick up afteryou toss your litter, but youshould be out there picking upafter other inconsiderate peo-ple. You just may learn a valu-able lesson and change someundesirable habits of yourown.

There were two brightspots in my three hours of gar-bage roadside picking. Twothankful people slowed downenough for me to see them saythe words, “Thank You.” You,my friends, are welcome.

Sam, a for-mer lieutenant, taught methings that I would need tobecome successful in thefirefighting industry. AllJunior Firefighters will havean adviser or mentor to showthem the ropes.

Firefighting is more thanputting out fires. It is aboutbeing a good role model,saving lives and keeping thecommunity safe. It teachesteam work, leadership skillsand work ethic. Firefighting

instills self-confidenceand pride,not to men-tion thescholarshipopportunitiesto continueyour trainingand devel-opment. TheJunior Fire-fighter Pro-gram has

taught me valuable life les-sons, like how important it isto give back to my communi-ty.

If you have a competitivenature there are Junior Fire-fighter Team Competitionssuch as ladder climbing,bucket brigade and hoseoperations. These are funcompetitions, but their pur-pose is to develop teams thatknow they can depend oneach other. You know your

buddy, male or female, hasyour back, creating a broth-er or sisterhood. In fire-fighting this could be thedifference in life and death.

Being a firefighter car-ries a great deal of responsi-bility. Young people look upto firefighters and adultsappreciate what firefightersdo. You must wear your uni-form with pride and notdisrespect it by engaging ininappropriate behavior orlanguage while wearing it.Really, once you are in theprogram, you are a constantrepresentative and shouldnever engage in inappropri-ate activities.

I want to be the kind ofperson, I looked up to as achild, a defender, a hero, afirefighter.

Health benefits aretough to come by at smallbusinesses, according to anew report from the KaiserFamily Foundation.

Less than half of em-ployers with three to nineworkers offer health insur-ance. Conversely, nearly allfirms with 1,000 or moreemployees offer some typeof coverage to at least aportion of their workers.

Small firms that don’toffer health benefits couldbe making a strategic mis-take. Providing insuranceis one of the most effective,economical ways for em-ployers to support thehealth of their workers –and to retain them, too.Even better, small busi-nesses have more coverageoptions available to themthan ever before – includ-ing some new ones createdby the Affordable Care Act.

Employer-based cov-erage offers several keyadvantages to both firmsand workers.

For starters, premiumscovered by employers aretax-deductible, and em-ployer payments towardcoverage are not consid-ered taxable income toemployees. Individualsdon’t get the same taxbenefits paying for insur-ance themselves.

That tax exemption cutsthe price of insurance foremployers by up to 40 per-cent. That allows business-es to provide more gener-ous coverage than individ-ual workers might be ableto secure on their own.

Employer-sponsoredcoverage is also less expen-sive to administer. Accord-ing to the National Bureau

of EconomicResearch,the adminis-trative loadfor employ-er-spon-sored insur-ance is halfthat for indi-viduallypurchasedpolicies.

Thatshouldn’t be

surprising. After all, it’seasier for insurers – as wellas agents and brokers – towork with one business-owner representing eightstaffers than to serviceeight people individually.

Most importantly, formany Americans, the mereact of choosing an insur-ance plan is challenging.Indeed, a recent study pub-lished in the journal HealthAffairs reported that“more than 60 percent ofthose targeted by thehealth insurance ex-changes struggle with un-derstanding key healthinsurance concepts.”

Employers usually workwith agents and brokers tofind coverage for theiremployees. In most states,a broad range of coverageis available to employers ofall sizes.

The Affordable Care Actalso created another wayfor small businesses tosecure health coverage fortheir workers – the SmallBusiness Health OptionsProgram. Firms with 50 orfewer employees can selectfrom among several healthplan options. They can signup at any time during theyear. Businesses with 25 orfewer employees can qual-

ify for tax credits that cov-er as much as half of theirinsurance tab if they pur-chase coverage through theSHOP program.

SHOP’s online systemallows employers to choosehow much to contribute toworker premiums and whatlevel of coverage to offer.Features like dental insur-ance and dependent cov-erage are optional.

In some states, employ-ers will have the option tooffer coverage that willallow employees to selectfrom several differentinsurance plans. Startingthis year, workers in 14states will be able to choosetheir insurance provider.

Fortunately, whetheremployers want to exploretheir options throughSHOP or other options forcoverage, they can turn tolicensed agents and bro-kers to help them with cov-erage options, manage theenrollment process forthem, and serve as theirexpert benefits counselthroughout the life of theinsurance policy.

In fact, HealthCare-.gov’s SHOP exchange al-lows small businesses tosearch for agents directlyon the website, or they canfind someone in their areaon the NAHU website atwww.nahu.org.

There’s no better timefor employers to explorethe options available tothem for offering coveragethan now.

LEXINGTON — St. Henryand Newport Central Catho-lic are bitter rivals in girlstrack.

After the KHSAA Class1A state championship meetfinished, however, St. Henryhead coach Tony Harden wasready to shower severalNewCath girls with gifts af-ter St. Henry won its fourth-straight KHSAA Class 1Ateam championship at theUniversity of Kentucky.

St. Henry won the 4x400-meter relay to end the meet,scoring 10 of its 91 points forthe day. Murray finishedfourth in the race for fivepoints and 90 overall, allow-ing St. Henry to come frombehind and win by a singlepoint. That point came viaThoroughbred, when NCCanchor Olivia Schalk passedMurray anchor Grace Camp-bell with less than half a lapto go in the four-lap race.

Another heated rival,Brossart, came in second inthe race.

“I told the NCC girls I oweall the girls on the relay asteak dinner,” Harden said.“It’s the most exciting statemeet I’ve been a part of. Onepoint. The mile relay has al-ways been my favoriteevent. For us to stay ahead ofBrossart – we had beat themat region but they had beat uspretty good at conference –for us to stay first, and NCC

helped us out, it was pretty neat.”The 4x4 was Jordan Miller, Ellie

Laudenslayer, Grace Von Lehmanand Samantha Hentz. Hentz, a sen-ior, won her second event of the day.

“As soon as I finished, I turnedaround and looked to see who elsehad finished, and I saw NCC come inright before Murray,” Hentz said. “Ikind of knew at that point. I was soproud of everyone on our team. Jor-dan always has a really strong startfor us and after her start we just

gained more and more confidence.I’m so proud of our whole team. Ev-ery point counted today.”

Said Von Lehman: “I’m so glad ourcoach had faith in us because a bunchof stuff was going wrong, but wekept fighting and didn’t get phased.We kept going and it paid off.”

Hentz won the 800 in a time of 2:19that matched former teammate Tay-lor Connett last year in victory.

LEXINGTON — RussellHarden spent the weekendbeing proud of his kids andwatching them perform.

The Ryle High School headboys track coach could onlycatch one set of kids, the teen-agers in Raider track uni-forms, online as he couldn’tattend the Class 3A state trackand field meet Saturday at theUniversity of Kentucky.

That was because he had totend to a much younger kid,his newborn daughter EddaLynn Harden, who was bornMay 20 to his wife, Alex.Harden watched a live broad-cast of the track meet throughthe KHSAA site.

“She was 37 weeks and wethought we could get throughone more week of track andone more week of school,”Harden said. “We hoped wecould make it through, butWednesday night the doctorsaid the baby was coming. Itwas a pretty neat experienceto have all our families there.It’s awesome having your ownand taking care of her and mywife. It’s been very rewardingand very exciting.”

Harden got to watch hisRaiders score eight points inthe state meet, setting severalschool records and personalbests along the way. The

points came from senior Tris-ton Hall, who placed fifth inthe discus, and Noah Kudla,who was fifth in the 800 me-ters. Kudla set a personal bestwith 1:58.53.

“He set his PR by a secondand a half,” Harden said.“He’s been trying to breaktwo minutes all year. That’shis bread and butter. Comingdown to Lexington and per-forming the way he did, with

his speed and training and de-sire, to finish fifth is prettycool… Triston did not throwvery well at region. He wasvery upset at that, but heworked all week and got it fig-ured out.”

High-lands will face BooneCounty at 5 p.m. on Tues-day in the semifinals andRyle will take on New-Cath at 7:30 p.m.

Boone County juniorpitcher Jeffrey Purnellstole the show in the sec-ond game of the day as hetook a no-hitter into thebottom of the seventh tohelp lead the Rebels to a

3-1 win over Beechwood.An RBI single up the

He walked arunner in the fourth in-ning and hit a batter inthe seventh, which latercame in to score on theonly Beechwood hit ofthe game, an RBI singleby Brayden Combs.

Purnell struck out fiveand walked one in thecomplete game effort.

McNeely’s effortssymbolized the team ef-fort.

“We moved her up to

Here is a wrap of high schooldistrict action in baseball andsoftball:

Senior Luke Zajac went 3-for-3 with a double and two RBI,as Dixie Heights defeated St.Henry 11-2 in the 34th districtchampionship game.

The Crusaders were led byjunior Kevin Flaherty, whowent 2-for-3 with a double.

After being ousted by Con-ner in last year’s district tourna-ment, Rylereturned the favor inthe 33rd District semifinals. TheRaiders took advantage of Con-ner’s miscues for a big fourth in-ning, and then cruised to a 7-3

win behind the pitching of stafface Jake Ziegelmeyer

The Raiders scored fourruns in the fourth off of only twohits as the Cougars walked twobatters, hit a third and made anerror. Ziegelmeyer picked upthe win as he scattered sevenhits, struck out 10 batters and al-lowed three runs (two earned)in six innings.

Beautiful summerweather triggers the sea-son of itchy mosquito andchigger bites for many.Jerry Tolbert, M.D., TheChrist Hospital Physi-cians – Primary Care rec-ommends following thesetips to prevent the peskybites:

1. Insect repellent.Bug spray containing

DEET, or N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide, shouldrepel both mosquitos andchiggers. Spray exposedskin as well as clothing forfull protection. Make surenot to get the repellent inyour eyes, nose or mouth.Adults should apply toyoung children to help en-sure that they are not in-gesting the spray. Make

sure to reapply every cou-ple of hours.

2. Grab a fan. Yes afan. A few years ago TheNew York Times pub-lished an article about us-ing fans to repel mosqui-tos naturally. Mosquitoshave a light touch and aredifficult to detect whenbiting, but they are alsoweak fliers. A fan not only

creates a wind obstaclefor the mosquito, but dis-perses the carbon dioxidethat we exhale, whichmosquitos use to track usdown.

3. Cover up. Wearinglong sleeves and pantswill help prevent mosqui-tos from getting to yourskin. Wearing pants thatyou tuck into your shoeswill prevent chiggersfrom reaching your skinwhen they spring fromtall grass and onto yourbody.

4. Choose your fab-rics. Loose-fitting buttightly-woven fabrics arebest for preventing bites.Chiggers are so small thatthey cannot be easily seen

by the naked eye and theycan also squeeze throughthin, loosely-woven fab-rics. On the other hand,mosquitoes are some-times able to bite throughclothes that are tightagainst the skin. So,choose loose-fitting buttightly-woven fabrics torepel these pests.

5. Stay out of theirhome. By avoiding mos-quito and chigger-rich en-vironments you may alsobe able to protect your-self. If you’re hiking, stayon the trail. Chiggerscling to high plants andjump onto passing ani-mals, if you stay on thetrail you may bypass themall together. Avoid stand-

ing water where mosqui-tos lay their eggs. Theytend to stick close to thearea where they breed soby avoiding these areasyou may avoid the mos-quitos altogether.

The Christ HospitalHealth Network is a re-gional care system com-prised of The Christ Hos-pital and more than 100outpatient/physician loca-tions in the Greater Cin-cinnati area whose mis-sion is to improve thehealth of our communityand to create patient val-ue by providing excep-tional outcomes, afford-able care and the finestexperiences.

Skin cancer has beencoined the most prevent-able cancer. With a fewsmall lifestyle changes,you should be able to cutyour risk of developingthis type of cancer. PhilipLeming, M.D., The ChristHospital Physicians - He-matology and Oncologyrecommends followingthese tips to protect your-self:

1. At the very least,don’t burn. Every timethat you get a sunburn,your risk for developingmelanoma increases. Ifyou have had a sunburnmore than five times,your risk doubles. Mela-

noma causes the major-ity of skin cancer deaths,so do what you can toavoid sunburns.

2. Re-apply every twohours. Sun exposure isthe most preventable riskfactor for skin cancer.Regardless of what thebottle says, it is a goodidea to reapply sunscreenevery two hours, as ittends to lose its effective-ness at about this time.No sunscreen is truly wa-terproof, so if you’vebeen sweating or swim-ming, reapply. Also, don’tforget your scalp, tops ofyour ears and the back ofyour hands.

3. Avoid certainhours. Peak ultraviolethours are from 10 a.m. to4 p.m. If you can, avoidsun exposure duringthese times. If not, makesure that there is shadeavailable and try to hangout there.

4. Choose the rightclothing. Most peoplethink that if they throwon a t-shirt they are pro-tected. In reality, a whitet-shirt provides theequivalent of a sun pro-tection factor of 4.Choose darker, tightlywoven fabrics. Rashguards are a great optionfor water activities.

5. Check your skin. Doa head to toe inspection ofyour skin often to spotany changes that youmay want to alert yourdoctor of. Have yourmoles changed in color,shape, size, or texture? Ifso, contact your doctor assoon as possible.

One final tip is: neveruse a tanning bed. Tan-ning beds increase yourrisk of melanoma expo-nentially! To learn moreabout skin cancer, mela-noma, and supportiveservices at The ChristHospital Health Net-work, visit bit.ly/1QFzoPetoday!
