ALEXANDRIA When Markand SharonWegford drove in tothe Southern Campbell FireDistrict on Sunday, Sept. 15,they were both smiling, happyand alive.

The same was not true forthem onMay 26.

On that sunny day in May,Sharonhadpassedout in thecarafter complaining of acid re-flux-type symptoms. Actually,she died from a heart attackcaused by a complete blockageof the left anterior descendingcoronary artery.

As Mark was trying to givedirections to a 911 emergencyoperator, he realizedhehad justpassed the Southern CampbellFire District on RacetrackRoad. He turned around anddrove into the departmentsparking lot, where the majorityof staff members were cele-brating at a Memorial Day pic-nic.

She was no more than 10minutes without a pulse, but wewere working on her rightaway. Her brain didnt go with-out oxygen for long, so thathelped, said firefighter andparamedic Keith Workman.

University of CincinnatiHealth Air Care Flight NurseJennifer Miller said Sharonsheart had been working at 10percent capacity, and that treat-

ment usually requires a hearttransplant for the patient to re-turn to a relatively normal life.

When we heard she got dis-charged from the hospital, wecouldnt believe it, said Miller.These firemendidagreat job.

With the new protocols,theyre saying you dont reallyhave to do the airways asmuch,for peoplewhowere squeamishabout giving mouth to mouth.Its about keeping the bloodpumping to keep the organsvia-ble, said Southern CampbellFire District Chief Jim Bell. I

Proprietor Mary Lippertisnt worried about the longev-ity of her business.

Ive got more than 10 yearsof experience with events, andanyone could look at my calen-dars and see weddings planned

here into 2015, said Lippert.Im going to be here. Thosecontracts are signed.

Becauseof thebuildings his-tory, she understands peoplewonder how this will work out,but invites them to come andsee for themselves.

This is really the perfect fitfor this building. It was too bigfor a restaurant. It was way toobigforapub,shesaid. Withallthis square footage, everyonecan be here together to cele-brate, but everyone has space.We have room dividers if weneed to block off space to let theevent have the energy of theirgathering. If the previous own-ers had thought of that, it mighthave been different for them.

Im so grateful to thisfire department, to AirCare, to the doctors andnurses at UC, to myfriends and family, shesaid. I just am so thank-ful that God put us here,right here, where theywere able to help me andprotect me. They savedme.

NEWPORT Winning the AllA state championship in anysport often leaves a team strug-gling mentally after the emo-tional high they experience inwinning that title.

The girls soccer team atNewport Central Catholic HighSchool has had that difficulty,but the Thoroughbreds over-came itwell enoughduringa3-2loss toNotreDameOct. 3.NDA,the state runner-up last year,improved to 13-2-3. NCC fell to12-2-2.

Both teams went into thegame allowing fewer than 10goals for the season, and theThoroughbreds became onlythe second team to score twiceon the Pandas while the Pandasdid the same disservice toNew-Cath.

Thats what I told them,saidNCCheadcoachKevinTur-nick. Theyre No. 3 in the statefor a reason. You were able toput two on them. That shouldtell you that you can play. De-fensively,wehave to do a betterjob. Im talking about all ofthem, not just the back four.

NCC scored on a goal by ju-nior Loren Zimmerman off acorner kick from senior SamBunzel, and Bunzel scored her-self from the corner, managingto curve the ball inside the post.BunzelandZimmermanare twoof the top scorers and veteranson the team. Bunzel broke theschools all-time assists recordin the tournament. Zimmermangot the game ball from thechampionship game.

I cant say enough for theiroverall leadership both on andoff the field, Turnick said.They have carried us.

The loss was NCCs firstsince the teams secondgameofthe year, a 1-0 defeat to RyleAug. 26. While Turnick wasntpleased with the three goals al-lowed, the last classified as anown-goalafteranNDAcrossingpass deflected off the legs of aNewCath player, he said theteam showed progress in thegame.

After you win the A,theres still more soccer toplay, he said. Its trying tokeep them focused on keepinggoing with their season. Wevegot to find some more ways to

motivate them. Well be allright. This game was good. Wehavent lost since Aug. 26, so itwaskindofgoodtofeel thatnowversus two weeks from now.

Freshman Taylor Tolle hadsix goals in the All A tourneyandhasbeenabigpart of theof-fense.MegMartinhadtwoshut-outs in goal, with defendersRuthie Barth and Ansley Da-venport leading the back line.

Its a team that really cametogether and played really welldown in Elizabethtown, Tur-nick said. They were great asfar as communication. Theyplayed with a lot of passion anda lot of energy. Thats some-thing we take away from that.Defensively, we played well.

The Thoroughbreds willhave time to regroup mentally,because in the current districtalignment they share the 36thwith only rival Highlands,whom NCC beat 2-1 Sept. 30.Those teamswill play in the dis-trict final the week of Oct. 14,with NewCath wearing thehome whites, and regardless ofresult both teams will play inthe Ninth Region Tournament.

We have to stay focused ondistricts and regionals and thatwe stay healthy, Turnick said.If we have nagging injuries,we have to take care of it.Werealready in the district champi-onship game and the regional.so it will be another two weeksbefore we play another one andout game.

NEWPORT For thesecond-straight year,Newport Central Catho-lics boys golf team cameup just short of qualifyingfor state. The Thorough-breds were still repre-sented by a pair of golfersat the state tournament inBowling Green beginningonOct. 8.DrewMcDonaldand Luke Holtz came along way this season andcapped off their year byqualifying as individualsfor the state tournament.

McDonald, a 67 ju-

nior basketball star forthe Breds, had to balancebasketball with golf thisyear. He was able to man-age open gyms andrecruiting visits on thecourt with steady im-provement on the links.He won the NorthernKentucky Athletic Con-ference Division II indi-vidual championship forthe third time in fouryears.

Drew has improvedhis game all year, New-Cath golf coach JeffSchulkens said. He wasoff to slow start, butworked to achieve a goal

of qualifying for state.Holtz saved his best

golf for his senior season.He, alongwith juniorMat-thew Striegel, qualifiedfor the All A state tour-nament in September.Holtz then shot the bestround of his career toqualify for the postseasonstate tournament.

Luke continued to im-prove from last year,Schulkens said. The re-gional was the best he hasplayed. Youre alwayshappy to see a senior playhis best in the regional.

At the Eighth Regiontournament, both Holtz

and McDonald shotrounds of 74. Holtz sankfour birdies. The Thor-oughbreds posted a teamscore of 320, good enoughfor third place. Unfortu-nately for NewCath, onlythe top two teams fromthe region advance tostate.

We have finishedthird the last two years,coach said. We need con-sistent and improved playfrom all of our golfers.

The goal at BowlingGreen Country Club is toplay two days of golf. Mc-Donald and Holtz haveshown that they are capa-

ble of playing a round thatwould be good enough tomake the cut. Their per-formances at the regionalhave them feeling confi-dent heading into the lasttournament of the season.

Both would like toqualify for the secondday, said Schulkens. IfDrew plays well, he is ca-pable of finishing in thetop 20. Both need to hitfairways to play well atstate. Luke will also haveto have a good day withthe putter.

Although the teamcame up just short for thesecond-straight year,sending Holtz out on ahigh note and seeing Mc-Donald bounce back froma slow start have madethis a rewarding seasonfor the Thoroughbreds.

I think they prettymuch met my expecta-tions, Schulkens said ofhis squad. Making agoodrun as a team to qualifyand having two individ-uals qualify is a great ac-complishment for them.

Dear Senator McCon-nell: Many of us are dis-appointed in our govern-ment leaders for allowingour government to shutdown. More so, I am verydisappointed with the re-marks I heard from you onthe floor about Democratsplaying the blame game asyou played the blamegame that it is the Demo-crats fault. I was also dis-appointed that you tried tomake a joke out of thesituation by stating thatDemocrats will blameGeorgeW. Bush for this

shutdown.Enough isenough.This isnt ajoking mat-ter. I amashamedthat mysenatorwould act insuch a man-ner.

As a citi-zen of ourgreat com-monwealth,

I would like to inform youhowmany of us see thisgovernment shutdown.Republicans, Democratsand independents see thisas further proof that thepeople we have entrustedthe running of our govern-ment to cannot and will notdo their jobs. You couldnteven keep the governmentrunning, which is the mostbasic thing we elect you todo.

It is obvious that bal-ancing our nations budgetand debating the Afford-able Care Act are two sep-arate issues and should betreated as such. Keep ourgovernment running anddebate the ACA separately.It is basic management.The ACA should have nev-er been attached to thedebt ceiling bill becauseeven someone who justpays the smallest bit ofattention to politics knowsit would be doomed fromthe start. So, now you all

get to stand and speaksomemore, make jokes,and see who can get thewittiest headline for yourfavorite news station to-night. I am embarrassed.

Please do what we Ken-tuckians elected you to do.Lead. Represent us. Con-tinue debating the ACA ifyou feel it is necessary, butdo it on its ownmerit.Fund the government andget it open and runningagain.

I remember yourspeech at Fancy Farm andhow you told us that if wewere to vote you out ofoffice next year that wewould be throwing awaythe powerful leadershipposition that a KentuckySenator has in the Senate,which means we would bethrowing away strongrepresentation to getthings done for our com-monwealth. Well, Sen.McConnell prove it. Leadon this situation. Show usthat you can lead in theSenate and the RepublicanParty and get our govern-ment up and runningagain. Because if you cantlead the senate and Repub-lican Party, then what doeshaving a Kentuckian inthat powerful positionmatter?

The American peopleare tired of partisan divi-sion that leads to default-ing on our debts, down-grades in our credit rating,and now government shut-downs.

Please start leading,start compromising, startkeeping bills separate sothings can get done, andstop making jokes.

Lead, Sen. McConnell.If we cant trust our cur-rent representatives to doit, then maybe we will needsome new ones next year.

Make us proud to beKentuckians in the nextfew days, Mr. Senator.

With our partial governmentshutdown, its very uncomfort-able because of the context, withthe House deciding not to fundObamacare.

However, no doubt, the gov-ernment buck starts in the Houseof Representatives, the peoples

house. TheOriginationClause in Arti-cle 1 of the Unit-ed States Consti-tution says so:All bills forraising revenueshall originate inthe House ofRepresentatives...

What doesthis really mean?

You cant get any closer to origi-nal intent than the words ofJamesMadison, the man whodrafted much of the Constitution.He touted the OriginationClause as being crucial to reign-ing in big government. He wrote,in Federalist 58:

The house of representativescan not only refuse, but theyalone can propose the suppliesrequisite for the support of gov-ernment. They in a word hold thepurse; that powerful instrumentby which we behold ... and finallyreducing, as far as it seems tohave wished, all the overgrownprerogatives of the otherbranches of the government.

This power over the purse mayin fact be regarded as the mostcomplete and effectual weaponwith which any constitution canarm the immediate representa-tives of the people ...

To be clear, heres how itworks. The House sets the spend-ing. Some spending, like socialsecurity, is mandatory. Otherspending, like Obamacare, is not.If the Senate and the Presidentdont agree, wont compromiseand wont negotiate, the Senateand President (regardless ofpolitical party) have chosen toshut down the government. Thisis fact, not opinion.

Whether you agree or dis-agree with the Houses decision,it had every right to addressObamacare spending. The lawwill cost well over a trillion dol-lars in the next decade. With theOrigination Clause and foundingfather Madisons words in mind,I ask, United States House,where have you been most of mylife?

United States House, our chil-dren will be paying back yourdebt of nearly $17 trillion theirentire lifetimes. This mattersbecause, among other reasons,you now spend twice as much oninterest as you do investing ininfrastructure which our chil-dren will need. If you wont listento me, maybe you will listen toThomas Jefferson, It is incum-bent for every generation to pay

its debts as it goes.What silver lining can come

from a painful, partial shutdown?A generous parent would havesaid, if there must be trouble, letit be in my day, so that my childmay have peace. Thomas Paine,Common Sense. Arent wemorally obliged to accept troublein our day, including temporary,partial shutdowns, if thats whatit takes to stop incurring debt sothat our childrens children mayhave a fresh start?

To our next generations, weowe you an apology. It wasnt ourmoney to spend, but we BabyBoomers kept electing Houseswhich did it anyway. At the high-est levels of society, we still cele-brate what we can get from thefederal government. But itsreally coming from you. Sorry we wanted it all, we wanted itnow, and weve been willing toname call to get it.

As a voting adult, I didnt fullygrasp the Houses Constitutionalduty to take a stand, nor did Iunderstand government shut-downs. Even now, I remain un-comfortable and conflicted withthis particular shutdown. I usedto love telling our children igno-rance is no excuse. Im afraidthat this embarrassing shoe isnow on my foot.

Pardon the incorrect gram-mar, but to hear the phrase,Im done with that, one maythink, Im done with that atti-tude, the dead-end job, thedeteriorating marriage, thatpersistent bad mood, thatmessy room, the constant bick-ering.

But how about lookingback? When will you be donelooking back? Looking backon the childhood filled withabuse and neglect? Lookingback on what couldve orshouldve been? Or, lookingback on all the good times andagonizing over how thingsused to be?

When will you be done look-ing back on all the things youwish you would have done, or

didnt do?When will yoube done look-ing back on allthe things youwish youwould havesaid? Or didntsay?

Thats thekind of lookingback I want tobe done

with. The Christian popgroup, Newsboys, says it best:

Im not looking back; Imdone with that

I wanna live with abandonGive you all that I amEvery part of my heart,

JesusI place in your hands

I wanna live with abandonIts not scripture, but it sure

is sound advice. And God callsus to a life of abandon as well.Paul reminds us in Hebrews,Since we are surrounded byso great a cloud of witnesses,let us lay aside every weight,and the sin which so easilyensnares us, and let us runwith endurance the race that isset before us. (Hebrews 12:1)

How can you lay asideevery weight, and live withabandon for Jesus?

Will you answer Gods callto reach out and finally sayyes to adopt a child whodesperately needs a lovinghome?Will you put down thebottle and pick up the biblejust for tonight? Will you shut

out the lies of the world andopen your ears and listen to thepromises of your savior? Willyou stop and look the homelessperson in the eye instead ofjust driving on by? Will youclose the laptop, put your childup in your lap (no matter howold they are) and ask them howtheir day was?

Take a step toward living inabandon today, give Jesus allthat you are. Place every partof your heart into his hands,and watch him lead and guideyour every step. As his word sobeautifully puts it, Call to me,and I will answer you, andshow you great and mightythings which you do not know.(Jeremiah 33:3)

By the way, my first step

toward living in abandon? Iscored tickets to go and see theNewsboys, at the Taft nextweekend, and I have a date:with my 10-year old son.

ALEXANDRIA Maddie Paulis reining in some national at-tention as she competes againstriders who are both older andbigger.

Paul,10, is on the cover of theSeptember/October issue of herfavorite horse magazine YoungRider. She placed fourth in thewalk/trot competition at theKentucky Quarter Horse Asso-ciationAssociationmeet inMayin Liberty, Ky.

Her fourth place finish wasspecial because first throughthird place went to collegeequestrian teammembers, saidher coach and trainer Missy JoHollingsworth.

Paul, the daughter of JeffandTheresePaul, ridescompet-itively in both the English andWestern show divisions. She isnow a member of the MideastKentucky Quarter Horse Con-gress riding team.

She trains with Hollings-worth, who is also coach of theUniversity of Cincinnati eques-trian team, at Saddle LakeEquestrian Center in Mel-bourne.

Its cute to watch her outthere, and theyll be16 to18yearolds, Hollingsworth said.

Pauls riding skills have im-

proved, she said.Shes been able to ride

around them and keep up andhave moments of just extremecompetitiveness. Hollings-worth said.

Paul said she focuses on hav-ing funwhile training and prac-ticing, but takes being in theshow ring seriously.

While being photographedfor the magazine, Paul said shejust had fun.

When we first got the ex-tended copy of the magazine Iwas surprised because I waslike Wait. Whos on the frontcover? Oh wait thats me, shesaid.

Shehasbeen riding since shewas 4 after her grandfather,Ken Paul of Fort Thomas, sether atop a wild mustang andtook a photograph.KenPaul is aformer Campbell CountyJudge-executive.

Maddie Paul said she neededtraining to really learn how toride, but the feeling of beingcomfortable atop a 1,000-poundanimal came naturally.

Its just that I kind of knewwhat to do when I got on, she

said.Paul saidher friendsdont al-

ways understand why she en-joys riding somuch, but theyreusually impressed when shetells themhowwell shoe does incompetitions.

Its just a lot of fun when Icome out here and it gives mesomethingtodo insteadofdoingnothing, she said.

Ken Paul, who takes hisgranddaughter to weekly train-ing sessions and horse shows,said he always asks her if she ishaving fun and wants to con-tinue.

These lessonsareeverysin-gle week, and its been like thatsince shes been 4-and-a-half,he said. And shes never said Idont want to go.

Ken Paul said his grand-daughter started showing hors-es three years ago and is com-peting in 11 different competi-tions this year.

Maddies mother Theresesaid she thought her daughterstarting out riding at a youngagewas just a good summer ac-tivity. She misses parties withfriends to ride, and is very pas-sionate about her sport, The-rese said.

She goes out there when itsthe dead of winter and its coldandImathomewrappedup inablanket, Therese Paul said.

OCTOBER 10, 2013 CCF RECORDER B3LIFE

The seasons on ourlittle patch of heaven aremarked by whats goingon outside in our gardensand what my husband,Frank, is doing with ouroutside equipment. Rightnow hes salting thingsaway for the winter,meaning hes servicing

the tiller,tractor,boat andlawnmow-ers for awinter restin the ga-rage.

Our bellpeppershave final-ly ripened,so I was

able to add them to anantipasto tray I made fora friends rehearsal din-ner.

Easy antipastoNeed a stunning and

delicious appetizer? Anantipasto tray fills thebill. It is not only appeal-ing to the eye, but theressomething on the tray foreverybody.

Go to your olive barand ask lots of questions.I went to the EastgateJungle Jims olive barand was able to samplewhatever I wanted. Thiswill help in choosing theright ingredients foryour budget and guests. Idid choose olives withoutpits. Since prosciutto isexpensive, I bought a fewslices to garnish andfolded them over on topof the antipasto. I alsosprinkled a can of chick-peas on top. The nicething about this recipe isthat it can be assembleda day ahead. For thesauce, I use Caesar saladdressing with freshherbs stirred in. I drizzlethe dressing on rightbefore I serve it.

My favoritetwo-way brisket

Brisket is a cut ofmeat from the lowerchest or breast of beef. Itis amazingly flavorful,but tough, so slow cook-ing is a must. Either wayyou cook this in theoven or in a slow cooker the brisket turns outtender and so delicious.Serve with mashed pota-toes or noodles.

3 pounds beef brisket2 cups chili sauce1 cup brown sugar, packed1 cup beef broth1 very large onion, sliced14 teaspoon ground cloves3 bay leavesSalt and pepper to taste

Oven: Preheat oven to325 degrees. Combinechili sauce, sugar andbroth. Pour about half ofthis in the bottom ofroasting pan. Place bris-ket on sauce, fat side up.Distribute onion, clovesand bay leaves over bris-ket. Pour rest of sauceover. Cover and bake50-55 minutes per poundor until meat is fork ten-der. Remove brisketfrom pan and removebay leaves and wholecloves. Cut brisketacross the grain. Skimoff any fat from top ofsauce. Pour sauce overbrisket (or put sauce inrefrigerator overnightand the fat will congealon top for easy removal.Then reheat with brisketin 375 degree oven, cov-ered, or in microwave).

Slow cooker: I like tocook mine 9-12 hours orso on low, until meltinglytender.

Perfectly grilledsalmon/seafoodfollowing the 70/30rule

Have the grill hot,lightly brush both sidesof fish with oil, and startgrilling skin side up withthe grill closed. (Or put adisposable pan over thefish). Leave it alone untilabout 70 percent of thefish is done on first side.Youll know it by thelooks and also if it willrelease easily. This al-lows fish to form a nicecrust. Turn it and finishcooking. The rule ofabout 7-10 minutes perinch of thickness works,also. Start with 7 minutesand go from there.

Readers want toknow:

Honing steels: Myhoning/knife steel doesntwork anymore. Should Ireplace it? Run yourthumbnail around thecircumference of thetool. If you can still feelgrooves, your steel is stilluseful. It is magnetizedto pick up microscopicfillings that come off theknifes blade. Its a goodidea to rub the steel witha cloth after use sogrooves dont getclogged. Now unless thehoner has diamond chipsin it, most steels wontsharpen a dull knife (theyrestore the knifes bite bystraightening the micro-scopic teeth at the edge

that fold with use). Noweven if your honing steelis in good condition,sometimes a knifedoesnt respond to hon-ing. If that happens, itstime to get the knifesharpened professional-ly.

These days scammershave taken to the In-ternet to steal your mon-ey with fake emails,fraudulent websites andmisleading sales offers.While Internet scams arenumerous, several con-sumers still report re-ceiving scams throughthe mail.

A Fort Thomas manwrote me about a creditcard offer he receivedfrom AmTrade Interna-tional Bank. It offeredhim a credit card with A$3,600 Visa credit limit!Guaranteed!

Theman sentwhat wassupposedto havebeen arefundable$900 fee,but says henever re-ceived thecredit card

nor a pre-paid gas cardthat was also promised.The 74-year-old man sayshes on a fixed income sothe loss of all that moneyhit him pretty hard.

Although he paid by

check and contacted theFederal Bureau of In-vestigation and the Fed-eral Trade Commission,he was told nothing couldbe done to recover hismoney. Such scams arevery popular so remem-ber never send money tosomeone who promises toloan you money or ex-tend credit.

A Hyde Park womanwrote me to say sheknew immediately theletter she received was ascam. It allegedly camefrom Publishers ClearingHouse and used the com-panys real address. The$1.5 million she was toldshe won was anythingbut real. She knew not tobother calling the long

distance phone numbergiven to claim her win-nings.

AWyoming womanreceived a letter tellingher she qualified for anaward of two round-tripairline tickets. She sus-pected it was a scambecause there was noreturn address and theletter had bad punctua-tion. So she too was toldto call a phone number toclaim her prize, allegedlyvalued at nearly $1,400.

Better Business Bu-reau says this is just aphishing scam intendingto steal peoples personalinformation. This womannever entered a contestto receive this award oftwo free airline tickets

plus two nights a majorhotel.

Fortunately, just likethe Hyde Park woman,the Wyoming womandidnt call the numberand says she wants towarn others about thisscam. Many peopleacross the nation havereceived this letter. Oneperson who called wastold they first had toattend a timeshare salespresentation before theycould receive the ticketsthey won. Another per-son who called was toldthey had to give theircredit card number overthe phone.

One of the most fre-quent scams Ive run intoinvolves criminals send-

ing you what appears tobe a real check for thou-sands of dollars. Youresupposed to deposit thecheck, keep some of themoney, then wire the restto the sender. Unfortu-nately, many consumerslearn too late that thecheck they received inthe mail is phony andnow theyre on the hookto repay the bank for thegood money they wiredto the criminals.

Beware of e-mail and scammers on the Internet

HowardAinHEY HOWARD!

After a long day ofcleaning house, I curledup on the sofa in the liv-ing room to watch televi-sion to get some welldeserved rest.

Reaching for the TVremote, I spotted it: Athin layer of white doghair coating the gleamingdark cherry surface ofthe coffee table. Thatsright. The one Id pol-ished just a few hours

earlier and still gave offthe faint aroma of LemonPledge.

For crying out loud,how could that be? Iddusted and polished mydear little heart out. Idmoved the sofas to cleanbehind them and wipedthe baseboards with adamp cloth. Why, I hadgotten down on my handsand knees to vacuumunder the bed and deepsteam cleaned the bath-room tiles with thatfancy gadget I orderedoff of the Home Shop-ping Network in the mid-dle of the night sometimelast winter. Id even tak-en the silk plants and acouple of teddy bears outonto the driveway andbeaten the dust off ofthemwith a tennis rack-et.

Why does this keephappening? I whim-pered, closing my eyes.What does it take tokeep a clean house whenyou have pets?

Be still, Grasshop-per, a tiny voice intoned.

Oh no, I thought, open-ing my eyes. Ive finallygone crazy.

You are not goingcrazy, Grasshopper. Youmust only still your mindand learn the art of ac-ceptance.

I looked over to thebookcase where my

great-grandmothersBuddha, the one that myAunt Dorothy sent herfromHawaii in the 1940s,stood. He was smiling at

me. Didyou hearme? heasked.Accep-tance.Thats thekey. If youare goingto havepets, youare goingto con-stantly

have something to cleanup. Fur, slobber, dirtypaw prints, puke ... It is anever-ending circle. Getused to it and quit yourbelly-aching. I have spo-ken.

Thats all I rememberuntil I woke up half-waythrough the Mentalist.

Must have been adream, I thought. But,the next morning Iturned to Facebook toask my pet-loving friendswhat their best house-keeping tips were. I hadnearly 100 responses inless than two hours and,guess what? None ofthem has figured it out,either.

Drug and alcoholabuse isaproblemplagu-ing Northern Kentucky.It has slowly crept itsway into many of themiddle and high schoolsaffecting the safety andhealth of students acrossthe region. While this is-sue is affecting manyfamilies and communi-ties, there has not been awidespreadeffort tohelpbring awareness to thegrowing problem.

This is why NicholsonChristian Church, 1970Walton Nicholson Pike,Independence, is hostingtheDrugHouseOdysseyWednesday-Friday, Oct.23-25, at the church.

The goal is to bringawareness to the com-

munity about the signifi-cant impact drug and al-cohol abuse has on theirfamiliesandschools.Theevent is structured toshow visitors realisticsituations that happen asa result of making poorchoices.

In addition, thechurchwill also host sev-eral agencies that pro-vide information andcounseling for thoseseeking ways they canhelp themselves and oth-ers.

The event is expectedto be the largest of itskind this area has seen inover five years.

According to KentonCounty Police Chief Bri-an Capps, drug use and

trafficking has become aprevalent problem thathas seen an exponentialincrease over the pastthree years.

Unfortunately, Ken-ton County leads thestatewith79%of theher-oin arrests, says Capps.Many times nowadays,the community finds itmore convenient to turnablindeye insteadofget-ting involved. And thatsa road that we dont needto go down.
