NEWPORT—Voter registra-tion records in CampbellCounty will be kept digitallyby the Campbell County Clerkby the end of the summer.

Voter registration cardswillbe kept at the clerk’s office, aswell as electronic imagesof thecards for the office’s search-able computer system.

New voter registrationcards are already beingscannedusingacomputersys-tem now in place, said Jenni-fer McGrath, elections super-visor in the clerk’s office.

The scanningof oldervoterregistration cardswill happenin August, McGrath said.

The Kentucky Departmentfor Libraries and Archives ispaying for the digitizationwith a $22,000 grant, saidCounty Clerk Jack Snodgrass.

Themost importantbenefitwill be security. Paper regis-tration cards will be kept in aseparate location in case offireor incase theyareneeded,Snodgrass said.

Certifying petitions morequickly and making sure peo-ple who signed are registeredvoters in the county is anotheradvantage, he said.

Snodgrass said the clerk’sstaff will now be able to searchby last name or Social Securitynumber, and pull up informa-tiononthecardandan imageofthe face of the actual registra-tion with the signature.

“We used to have to go

through every one of thosecards and check them byhand,” he said.

There are approximately67,000 registered voters in thecounty, and the clerks officewill be scanning about 98,000currentandoldvoter registra-tion cards, Snodgrass said.

The digitization will allowfor faster updates for peoplewho have moved, changedparties or changed their mar-ital status, he said.

In the 2012 presidential pri-mary, a lot of people claimedtheywere registered to vote asa Republican, Snodgrass said.

“They had no idea that theyweren’t registeredasaRepub-lican, and that they were real-ly registered as a Democrat,”he said. “They had neverchanged their card. Some ofthemwent back 20 years.”

The new computer systemwill allow the clerk’s office tolook up party registrationwithout looking at cards byhand, Snodgrass said.

Theaveragepersonwillnotnotice any changes, he said.

“We’re going to scan everysingle card and keep it in thesystem,” Snodgrass said.“Then we’re going to keep themost prominent last two cardsin the office and the rest ofthem are going to be storedaway in the warehouse.”

Snodgrass, who previouslyannounced his retirement,said he plans to stay throughthe May 2014 primary. Heplans to retire no later thanAug. 5, 2014.

The new mural will be in-stalled on the Greenway trailsin Covington by the end of Au-gust, and will bring the totalnumber of public works of arton the trails to 17.

ArtWorks is working in col-

laboration with Vision 2015, theorganizing force behind thetrails, to install the murals onthe trails. An Aug. 1 article inThe Community Recorder de-tailed plans for the Greenwaytrails in Covington andWilder.

Jamie Schorsch, a teacher atOak Hills High School, Green-way murals project managerfor ArtWorks, said the muralsare being painted inside atNorthern Kentucky Univer-sity’s Highland Heights cam-pus.

The murals will be “squee-geed” in pieces onto concrete

“gatewell” floodwall structureson the Licking River in Coving-ton using a gel instead of erect-ing hillside scaffolding andpainting at the trails, Schorschsaid.

“We have until Aug. 9 to getthem all done,” she said.

ALEXANDRIA — When some-one is unable to tellwhich childin a classroom has a specialneed, teacher Marlene Jonesfeels she has done her job.

In 1978, Jones was the firstspecial education teacherhired by Campbell CountySchools. She now works as thedistrict’s director of specialeducation andwill retire inAu-gust after 35 years in the dis-trict.

“I think the thing that wasreinforced through her, is thateach student is an individualand you need to look for theirstrengths,” said RoseannMcCafferty, a teacher at thehigh schoolwho said Joneswasher mentor.

The point is to addressweaknesses while looking forstrengths to help an individualbe a contributor to society,McCafferty said.

“All of us derive our self re-spect and self esteem fromwhat we do in life,” she said.“Students, even with the more

extreme disabilities, need tofind their place in society inwhat they do.”

Jones,who spent 23years asa teacher in the classroom,said special education wasn’talways an accepted profes-sion, and people didn’t under-stand what she did. Jones saidshe spent a lot of time educat-ing other staff members andfamilies about what she didand what the possibilities are.

“Now it’s all about equal ac-cess, and special ed is wel-comed with open arms,” shesaid.

Special education is a vehi-cle to help close an achieve-ment gap, Jones said. The chal-lenges Jones and special edu-cators face with children andfamilies vary widely.

Interventions are createdfor students who are blind,deaf, have severe medicalchallenges, autism, Dyslexia,learning difficulties or behav-ior issues, she said.

“I think a lot of times whenthere is a visible handicap,that’s what people think of as astudent that’s disabled,” Jones

said. “But, there are lots of stu-dents out there that have dis-abilities that you can’t see thatstruggle.”

Jones said not all studentswith special needs were beingdirected to attend school whenshe started teaching. Now, stu-

dents with special needs whowill likely come to the districtare known by the time they are3 years old, she said.

“A lot of times you know Iwill get calls from familiesthat don’t realize that theirchild can come to school,”Jones said.

Now, there are 76 teachersand 56 para educators just inthe district’s special educationdepartment. There are alsoseveral therapists on staff, shesaid. The goal is fairness forstudents, Jones said.

“I don’t want them to betreated specially, I just wantthem to be treated fairly,” shesaid. “That’s the plan. We wantthem to be like everybody else,and they want to be like every-body else.”

Jones said once a staffmember in a classroom of 30students came to her and saidthey couldn’t tell which chil-dren were special educationstudents.

“If they can’t tell whichones are which in those stu-dents – then I’ve donemy job,”she said.

ed. The children were askedtomeasure howmuch the gaswas created in the expandedballoon – covering somemath, she said.

Summer camps havetaught lessons mixed withlearning and physical activ-ities, said Camy Bankemper,program director of Cline’s21st Century CommunityLearning Center.

“It’s summer enrichmentwith a recreation factor andtechnology,” Bankempersaid.

The first week was weirdscience, second week wastechnology focus, the thirdweek was “art attack” andthe fourth week was a num-bers and math theme, shesaid.

For a state with such a richand storied tradition of highschool basketball, it was sur-prising that Kentucky did nothave a high school basketballhall of fame.

That changed in 2009, whenthe Kentucky Association ofBasketball Coaches createdthe Kentucky High SchoolBasketball Hall of Fame. Theinaugural class was inductedin 2012. This year’s class in-cludes Highlands High Schoolgreat Jaime Walz Richey, nowthe head coach of the Blue-birds girls basketball team.

“It’s an unbelievable honorto be inducted in just the sec-ond class of theKentuckyBas-ketball Hall of Fame,” said Ri-chey. “When I look at the list ofplayers that have been induct-ed thepast twoyears, thosearethe names that I always heardwere the best in the state toever play the game of basket-ball men or women and to be apart of that is just a great feel-ing.”

Richey’s state record of4,948 points scored, set in1996,still stands today. On July 20,she was part of the 17-personclass that became the secondgroup inducted into the hall.The ceremony was held at theKentucky State Theater inElizabethtown. After beingnamed Kentucky’s Miss Bas-ketball in 1996, Richey playedforWesternKentuckyUniver-sity. She ranks in the top 10 inthree-point field goals madeand free-throw percentage forthe Hilltoppers.

“It brought back a lot ofmemories with my teammatesfrom high school and collegeand just howmany points I didscore in my career,” said Ri-chey.

Thismarked thesecondhallof fame induction of the yearforRichey. InApril, shewas in-ducted into theKentuckyHighSchool Athletic AssociationHall of Fame. While she madean impression with her re-

markable individual statistics,Richey was always a selflessteam player. She gives muchcredit to those who helped fos-ter her love for the sport.

“I think my family was ahuge influence in my career,”she said. “Theywere always sosupportive of my career andwould do anything they couldto make it to games. Also, allmy coaches always pushedmeto be the best player I couldbe.”

The former Parade Maga-zine National Player of theYear came back to her almamater shortlyaftergraduatingfrom Western Kentucky in2000. In her 11 years as headcoach of the Bluebirds, he hasdrawn from her playing expe-rience. She is far more con-cerned with fostering a close-knit team each year, thancoaching a player to break oneof her many school records atHighlands.Thefocusandworkethic that droveher as aplayerare evident in her coaching.

“I know as a player I had tobe pushed sometimes and Ipush all my players to becomegreat,” said Richey. “I wantthem to have the same oppor-tunity that I did and I don’twant them to waste time whenthey could be getting better.”

A10 • FORT THOMAS RECORDER • AUGUST 8, 2013 K1

With the increasing amountof public money flowing throughthe bank accounts of quasi-gov-ernment agencies such as San-itation District 1 and others, it isclear that these taxing authori-ties need increased oversight

and account-ability. Whilethere are sever-al agencieswhich needclose review,SD1’s recentactivitymakesthem themostlogical tartingpoint for fur-ther review.

Some citi-zens in southern CampbellCounty aren’t even tied in withthe sewer system and yet arerequired to pay SD1 a monthlyfee. The SD1board appointeesof our current judge-executivesupport double-digit tax in-creases while signing unrea-sonable agreements with thefederal government that willcost millions of dollars.

On top of that, the agency’srecent outcry to our cities andcounties regarding cuts is aknee-jerk reaction that showsforgetfulness about who isserving whom. The boardshould be serving the taxpay-ers, not the other way around.

Furthermore, for SD1 to im-ply that infrastructure and ser-vices relating to developmentmust be cut without looking attheir other bureaucratic andadministrative expenses is sim-ply absurd. A simple billingchange, for example, would savethousands of taxpayer dollars.SD1currently bills monthly andonmulticolored paper. Why notbill quarterly with plain whitepaper?

At the same time we shouldnot have unelected SD1boardappointees negotiating andsigning consent decrees with

the Environmental ProtectionAgency. Administrativechanges can be made to requirethe elected fiscal courts to exe-cute any agreement with feder-al agencies. We all want betteraccess to clean water, howeverthe public should have a say inthese agreements in order toimprove infrastructure on amore reasonable and affordableschedule.

Reforming SD1’s dated enti-tlement approach to public dol-lars will not occur overnight, butthe solution is clear. CampbellCounty should have leadership atthe courthouse and on the SD1board representation that doesn’tthink the first solution to everyproblem is to takemoremoneyfrom the taxpayer’s wallet.

Kevin SellCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

I was invited by theWhiteHouse Office of Intergovern-mental Affairs to participate ina conference call lastWednes-daymorning with Gene Sper-ling, director of the NationalEconomic Council, and DavidAgnew, director of intergov-ernmental affairs, and otherstate legislators regarding anew focus on our country’seconomic recovery efforts.

It was encouraging to hearplans to shift attention frompartisan blame and rhetoric toinvesting in real ideas, pro-jects and partnerships at thelocal and state level to ac-complish tangible results andget our economy rolling.

Mr. Sperling andMr. Ag-new said that we – state legis-lators, local elected officials,business and education lead-ers and our Chambers of Com-merce – need to become thecatalysts for this kind ofchange at the grassroots level.

The cornerstones of thisinitiative are impressive anddovetail right into projectsunderway in Northern Ken-tucky. Those goals includesecure jobs with promotionalopportunities, a good educa-tion that fits the job market,home ownership and security,and reinvestment in our com-munities and cities.

Thanks to partnershipswith our Chamber of Com-merce, private individuals,businesses, governmentalagencies and nonprofits, weare a step ahead of the nationin creating jobs, providinghousing and new commerce inour region.

The New-port Pavilion isa shining ex-ample of ourcollectiveefforts and isone of themostprominenturban shop-ping centers inKentucky,attractingvisitors from

all over Kentucky and Ohiowhile creating hundreds ofjobs.

Great anchor retailers likeKrogerMarketplace and Tar-get have helped encourageother national chain stores –Mattress Firm, Ulta and Pet-Smart – to open in the NewportPavilion and BW3’s, Dick’sSporting Goods and ChipotleMexican Grill are slated toopen this fall and winter.

Just last month we held agroundbreaking for Mon-mouth Row, another key pro-ject in Newport’s revitaliza-tion efforts. This $10 millionproject will house 102 upscaleapartments attracting a mixof retirees and young profes-sionals to our downtown area.

Work on the first step ofour exciting Riverfront Com-mons project, which will linksix Northern Kentucky citiesalong the Ohio River, is un-derway. The 11.5-mile walkingand cycling path will connectFort Thomas, Dayton, Belle-vue, Newport, Covington andLudlow and will includeramps, steps and a bridge thatextends east from the PurplePeople Bridge across the

Newport Port of Entry. Thispath will give greater accessto restaurants, entertainmentattractions and great events atthe Northern Kentucky Con-vention Center.

The Nth Degree Distillery,located a short distance fromNewport on the Levee, is cur-rently being constructed by theParty Source in Bellevue. Thismini distillery is the first to belocated in Northern Kentuckyandwill providemeeting spacefor groups up to 150. Toursshowcasing the distilling proc-ess and related activities willbegin November.

Northern Kentucky is liter-ally exploding with projectsthat are reinventing our wa-terfront, defining our city-scapes, creating real job mar-kets and providing hope andopportunity for our residents.

We knowhow to cast asidepartisan and political prefer-ences and focus onwhat’s im-portant to us asKentuckians andAmericans.We knowhow im-portant grassroots collabora-tions arewhen it comes to get-ting things done and the excitingthings happening inNorthernKentucky bear that out.

I was honored to be part ofthe conversation with WhiteHouse officials and so proudthat we have capitalized uponour great relationships, part-nerships and ingenuity to finda way out of the recessiontoward a path to prosperity.

Why make your own jamwhen you can just buy it at thestore?

“It’s the love that goes intoit,” answered Lynda Crouthersof Elsmere. She grew up learn-ing how to make jam from hergreat aunt and has been hopingto bring back the family tradi-tion. “I want my grandchildrento be able to enjoy it.”

On Monday morning, July29, she came to theBooneCoun-ty Cooperative Extension Ser-vice in Burlington to learn howto make jams and jellies.

“I love watching people eatthe things that I’ve prepared,”she continued. “So I prefer it behomemade for them.”

Delashea Daniels of Elsm-ere came for another reason. “Ihave three daughters, and twoof them love grape jelly. That’s

all they eat, all the time,” shelaughed. “So if I can make it athome and control which ingre-dients are in it, it would be awe-some, because we’re living ahealthy lifestyle.”

Michelle Winters of Cres-cent Springs has a 6-year-oldson. “He loves to cook and bakeanything in the kitchen,” sheshared. “He has tons of ener-gy.” She thought making jamwould be a good activity forhim. “Hopefully it’ll wear himout.”

“Wehave a lot of fruit trees,”explained Ann Crary of Bur-lington. “We have peaches,plums, blackberries, raspber-ries. So Ineed to findsomethingto do with them.”

The Jam and Jelly Makingclass has been offered since2009. Diane Mason and KathyByrnes are the instructors. Oneof their objectives that day wasdemonstrating how to makestrawberry jam.

Together with the studentsthey crushed theberries, addedpectin, brought themixture to aboil, then added sugar. The re-sult was a bubbling red liquidemitting a sweet aromaguaran-teed to make you hungry. Oneby one, students poured the hotjam into sterilized jars.

“This class is usually heldevery other year,” Mason said.“The waiting list is filled be-cause more and more peopleare getting interested in it.”

After spending over threehours learning the basic skills,the students were confident totry it at home. “This is so sim-ple. It’s something that I canteach my kids and grandkids,”Crouthers said.

“We just have to be particu-lar about the directions and fol-lowing the correct order,” Cra-ry added.

Carol Ann Morrow of Unionwas glad to discover the exten-sion service after moving fromCincinnati five years ago. “Ithink it is the most welcomingplace in Boone County. I havelearneda lot that hasmademeamore confident homemaker,”she said. “I hope I never run outof classes that I can come to.”

I can tell what’s goingon, food wise, frommyreaders simply by therequests sent in.

This week zucchiniand cucumbers dom-inated. Apparently ev-

erybody’szucchini isproducingnonstop,just likemine.

I likethe factthat ourCommuni-ty Pressfamilywants to

find ways to use thissummer veggie. Most ofthe requests were forzucchini bread recipes.Zucchini bread freezeswell and is pretty easy tomake. And the variationsare endless, like the tworecipes I’m sharing to-day. Both are in my Reci-pe Hall of Fame.

Requests for cucum-ber recipes were slightlybehind the zucchini in-quiries. I always think ofmy Germanmother-in-law, Clara, when I makemy version of her mari-nated cucumbers withfresh dill frommy gar-den.

Classic marinatedcucumbers/akaGerman cucumberswith vinegar andsugar

Feel free to add slicedonions when addingdressing, like Clara did.

2 large or several smallcucumbers (1-1⁄2 pounds)sliced thin

1 tablespoon salt

Dressing: mix togeth-er1⁄2 cup vinegar - cider or clear(I like cider)

3 tablespoons sugar or totaste

Pepper to tasteGenerous palmful fresh dill,chopped (to taste)

Put cucumbers incolander and sprinklewith salt. Let sit 20 min-utes, stirring now andthen. Drain and pat dry.Pour dressing over. Stirand put in frig to chill acouple of hours or over-night.

Readers want toknow: How do youfreeze zucchini?

Shredded: I don’t peelmine, though colleagueand professional bakerand canner Cheryl Bullisdoes. I don’t blanch butdo pack mine in a littlemore than 2 cup mea-sures, since when youthaw it, you’ll lose vol-ume as liquid drains out.

Slices: Cut into slices,1⁄4 to 1⁄2 inches thick.Blanch in boiling waterfor 3 minutes. You’ll wantthe water boiling andenough to cover the zuc-chini. You can blanchseveral batches in thesame water; just addmore water if necessary.Cool immediately afterblanching in ice water,

drain very well, and packin freezer containers orfreezer baggies. (Onereader likes to lay theslices in a single layerand freeze hard, uncov-ered, and then pack intobaggies). Smoosh out allair to prevent freezerburn. Do with a strawand just suck out air orlay bag flat, smoosh outair with your hands, andfreeze. Frozen zucchinishould be thawed slight-ly, not all the way, beforeusing in cooked dishes.

Question: There aresome giant wasps in myyard and in the groundaround the kids’ playarea. They will fly rightat you. I am concernedabout the kids gettingstung. How can I get ridof them?

Answer: These“wasps on steroids” areknown as “cicada kill-ers.” They have beenflying about and bur-rowing into lawns, gar-dens and play areas,prompting concernfrom homeowners.

Despite their menac-ing appearance (up to 2inches long with rustyred head/thorax, amber-yellow wings, and blackand yellow striped ab-domen), the wasps sel-dom sting unless pro-voked.

Cicada killers do notlive in communal nestslike hornets or yellow-jackets. They overwin-ter as larvae withincocoons deep in the soil,emerging as adultsduring July and earlyAugust. The femalesfeed, mate and excavateburrows in the groundabout½ inch in diame-ter, ending in a series ofbrood chambers.

Bare ground or sandis especially prone toinfestation. Excess soilis pushed out of theburrow, leaving amound of dirt at theentrance. Each femaleexcavates numerousburrows and provisionsthemwith adult cicadasor “locusts,” which sheambushes, paralyzeswith her venom, and

stuffs into individualbrood chambers. She

then laysan egg ontop of thecicada,backs out,and sealsthe cellbehindher. Theegg hatch-es within afew daysand thehungry

larva devours the of-fering, eventually trans-forming into an adultthe following summer.

Cicada killers seldomsting and the femalesnormally do not defendtheir burrows. Themales, while incapableof stinging, sometimesdive-bomb passers-by,or hover menacinglynearby. Insecticidetreatment may be war-ranted where the soilburrows become un-sightly, or the wasps aredigging in a high-trafficarea such as along asidewalk, playground,or sand trap on a golfcourse.

Individual burrowscan be effectivelysprayed or dusted withmost lawn and gardeninsecticides (Sevin,Bayer Advanced Lawn& GardenMulti-InsectKiller, SpectracideTriazicide Soil & TurfInsect Killer, etc.), or awasp and hornet aero-sol. Multiple nests mayneed to be treated witha broadcast applicationto the ground surface,using a pump up orhose-end sprayer.

As a deterrent tofuture nesting, it helpsto eliminate bare-ground areas. Cicadakillers generally do notprefer burrowing intowell-managed turf,gravel, pebbles ormulch. In situationssuch as playgrounds,camping areas, or com-mercial landscapes,these materials may besubstituted for sand orbare soil. Another op-tion is to wait and donothing – in a matter ofweeks the adults will dieoff and there’s a chancethe problem will notreoccur next year.

“They have hardenedtheir hearts.” It’s a phraseused in both the Old andNew Testaments in theBible referring to peopleacting in ways that arecontrary to God’s ways.We often make the mis-take of thinking that if webelieve what the Biblesays this phrase cannotrefer to us.

Quite frankly there aremore “believers” insidechurches with hardenedhearts than outside. “Howcan that be?” Becausealthough we believe partsof the Bible, we “hardenour hearts” to other parts,

and re-fuse tobelievethat all ofwhatGod’swordsays istrue.And,when weare sur-

prised by God’s supernat-ural powers, our heartsare hard.

When our hearts arehardened to something, itsimplymeans it refuses toconsider, or think on thepossibilities. Andwhat-

ever we do consider orthink on, is what ourhearts are soft or flexibleto.

Think about it like this.You are in desperate needof a job, and your consid-erations and thoughts areconstantly about how youare going to pay yourmortgage/rent, feed yourfamily and simply stayafloat. All seeminglylogical and appropriatethoughts for the situation,yet what you are notthinking about is a veryreal promise in the Bible;“But my God will supplyall your needs accordingto his riches in glory byChrist Jesus.”

Therefore, your heart ishardened to the promise ofGod, and soft to the prob-lems of this world. Youmay be thinking that God’sword has rarely come topass for you. Rememberthis; the promises of theBible cannot come to pass

when the problems of theworld are gettingmore ofour attention.

Recently, we beganposting “Promises for theday/week” on our refrig-erator. As the childrengrow older they are be-ginning to experience theharshness and negativityof the world and I desper-ately want them to knowthat God has alreadyconquered this world andit is his promises thathelp us navigate in theday to day.

However, a blip on thenews or commercial for avulgar sit-com before Ican grab the remote canquickly fill their mindswith the “things of theworld.” So we are combat-ing what is going into ourminds with a promisefromGod’s word that isvisible for all the family tosee.

As I look across thekitchen to the refrigerator,I am not only reminded ofdinner dishes I was tootired to wash last night,but also that, “It is Hewhoblesses you with bountifulharvests, and gives yousuccess in all your work.”Deuteronomy16:15

As you work to consid-er the promises of Godand not the problems ofthis world this week, Ipray you are blessed withbountiful harvests andgreat success.

We love youvery much!

Health coaching is asmuch about empower-ment as it is about livingwell, according to St. Eliz-abeth’s Target Healthwellness specialist SaraFaller.

“We try to dispel themisconceptions out there(about health coaching),”Faller said. “People ask:

‘Are you going to tell meto exercise?’ I say: ‘No.’We’re here to support andguide people, and to pro-vide the educational toolsand resources they needtomake good decisions ontheir own.”

Independent healthcoachLindaBaier, ofBur-lington, said she too aimsto get her clients “to takecontrol of their ownhealth.”

“(Healthcoaching)em-powers people to be incharge of their own lives,their own destiny, theirown health,” she said.

Choose to changeThe first step toward

living well, according toFaller, ischoosingtomakea lifestyle change.

“We see success withpeople who are ready tochange,” she said. “I can’tbring you to that point, it’sup to you.”

Once that point isreached, Faller saidmanydon’t know where to go

next.That’swherehealthcoachingcomes intoplay.

“We canhelp alongthe way

(offering) knowledge andsupport,” she said. “As ahealth coach, I don’t tellyou what to do. I ask:‘What do you want to do?’Health coaching, for us, isdriven by the partici-pant’s goals.”

Faller and fellow staffmembers of St. Eliza-beth’s Target Health pro-gram offer health coach-ing,wellness services anddisease management in-ternally to hospital asso-ciates and externally tocorporate clients.

Faller, who resides inFort Thomas, has workedwithin theprograma littleover two years. She stud-ied exercise science atAshland University andearned her master’s inhealthpromotionandedu-cation at theUniversity ofCincinnati.

She can’t imagine hav-ing any other career.

“You get to see peoplegrow, change andmature,at all ages,” she said. “It’sincrediblymotivatingandrewarding. You feel likeyou’re making a differ-ence in people’s lives.”

AccordingtoFaller, ex-ercising and eating rightgreatly affects quality oflife. The Target Healthprogram staff work withassociates and clients onshaping their goals andmapping out a plan of ac-complishment. The staff

serves as a source of sup-port and encouragement,she said.

“A lot of times our jobis about just being thereand supporting peopleand letting them knowthey have someone theycan turn to and talk to,”Faller said. “Also, if youknowI’mgoingtobesend-ingyouanemail or follow-ing up with you on yourgoals, like exercising for10 minutes a day, you’remore likely to do whatyou’ve set out to do.”

Crave overallwell-being

Health and wellnesscoach Linda Baier focus-es her coaching efforts onnutrition, health and heal-ing.

“I help people under-stand how their body re-lates to food and how theycan be their own nutri-tionist and chef,” she said.“I teach people how to eatfood with a purpose, toheal and energize theirbodies.”

Baier has operated herown business, Isaiah’sWay Nutrition, located onHouston Road in Flor-ence, since 2012. Her per-

sonal choice to live wellwas made in 2006 afterher husband died frommultiple complicationsfrom obesity.

Baier hired a healthcoach who helped hereliminateunhealthy foodsand introduce healthychoices. Needing moresupport for her health is-sues and exhausting con-ventional forms of treat-ment, Baier said a friendintroduced her to a natu-ropath who specialized inNutritional ResponseTesting and healing withwholefoodandwholefoodsupplements.

“Finally,” said Baier, “Ifelt better for the firsttime in years. I startedgetting results.”

Within a year and ahalf, she was off all pre-scription drugs, includingpain medications, allergyshots and synthetic hor-mones.

A friend who noticed achange in Baier’s lifeasked her for help.

“As Iwas helping her, Ithought: ‘I might be ableto do this full time,’” shesaid.

A Christian, Baier saidshe sought direction from

God.“I kept coming to a

verse in the book of Isa-iah,” she said. The Scrip-ture, Isaiah 55:2: “Whyspendyourmoneyon foodthat does not give youstrength? Why pay forfood that does no good?Listen to me, and you willeat what is good. You willenjoy the finest food!”

“I felt (nutritionalhealth coaching) was thepath God was leading meto,” Baier said.

She received trainingfrom the Institute for In-tegrative Nutrition andhas been on her way help-ing others ever since.

“It’s rewarding. Eachone of my clients inspiresme and challenges me,”she said. “Seeing thechange we’re making intheir liveshasbeeninspir-ing for my own healingand health.”

According to Baier,food has everything to dowith how one feels. Hergoal is tohelpclients iden-tify ways to eat healthierand to rely less on “sec-ondary foods” thatwe eat,she said.

Instead of finding ful-fillment in these second-ary foods, one needs todiscover fulfillmentthrough “primary foods,”like healthy relationships,regular physical activity,a fulfilling career andspiritual life, Baier said.

Through talking, lis-tening and teaching,Baier helps others recog-nize the difference be-tween these primary andsecondary sources of en-ergy. She helps set a planfor each individual andguides them to healthiereating – healthier living.

“It’s simply amazing,people leave here differ-ent – feeling better,” shesaid. “They feel more em-powered.”

Nobody likes extremeand prolonged heat, butsuch conditions can bedeadly for seniors.

According to the Na-tionalOceanicandAtmos-pheric Administration,heat is the No. 1 weather-related killer in the Unit-ed States. On average, ex-cessive heat claims morelives each year than tor-nadoes, hurricanes,floods and lightning com-bined.

“The elderly are oftenthemost vulnerable to se-vere heat,” said Jeff Hub-er, president of Home In-stead, Inc., franchisor ofthe Home Instead SeniorCare network.

If you are a senior orcaring for an elderly indi-vidual, the following tips,from the local Home In-stead Senior Care office,will help them combat theheat:

»Keep a glass ofwaterin every room to quicklyand easily access fluids.Drink plenty of fluids,even if you don’t feel thir-sty.

»Go through theclosetand remove all heavyma-terials, long sleeves anddark colors. Store themuntil fall.

» Set fashion trends. Ifyou’re in need of newclothes, check out the lat-est fashion magazines.Look for short sleeves,lightweight rayons or cot-tons, and light-coloredclothing that reflect theheat.

» Stay out of the sunduring the hottest timesof the day. Fill up yourbird feeder in the morn-ing and water the lawn atnight. Sunburn makes thejob of heat dissipationthat much more difficult.

» Save householdchores, particularlywashing and dryingclothes and operating thedishwasher, for evenings,when the weather is cool-er.

» Take a nap duringhigh heat times – between3 and 5 p.m. in the after-noon, for instance – orfind a good television pro-gram or movie to watch.

»While you’re nappingor enjoying a movie, keepshades down and blindspulled. Keeping a housetightly closed is more en-ergy efficient.

» If you don’t have anair conditioner, or if yoursis broken, spend the after-noon at the mall. You canshop or just enjoy cooldrinks and a good book.

WILDER — The LickingRiver Greenway andTrails has gone from vi-sion to reality in Coving-ton, and organizers arenow working with Wilderto spread the idea intoCampbell County.

Wilder City Adminis-trator Terry Vance saidthe city isworking on pre-liminaryplanswithVision2015 on ideas for newtrails radiating fromFrederick’s Landing Parkand Boat Ramp.

The city is hoping tocreatea trail fromthecitybuilding to Frederick’s

Landing in the fall thatcan be incorporated intothe Greenway, Vancesaid.

A new 24-acre proper-ty has been acquired bythe city next to the Lick-ing River that connects tothe south end of Freder-ick’sLanding, he said.Thelong-termgoal is to createa trail in the new 24-acreproperty as well, Vancesaid.

The general idea is tocomplete an entire set oftrails within five or 10years, he said.

The trails are already areality in Covington witheight murals people canseealongthewayandninemore being painted now,said Kristine Frech, stra-tegic initiatives managerfor Vision 2015.

“We have nature trailsthat start right behindHolmes High School atLevassor and Eastern andthey head north, and theystop right aboutRandolphPark which is Ninth andProspect,” Frech said.

The trail along theLicking through Coving-ton is a dense compactedaggregate gravel, so rug-gedbicyclesandpedestri-ans can use it. A pavedtrail starts at Clayton-Meyer Park near 16thStreet and continues to20th Street atop the floodwall.

“Anything that’s therenow, you’re going to beright in basically thewoods along the Licking,”Frech said. “So, it’s rightover the flood wall. So, onthe other side of that wallit’s pretty urban, it’s rightdowntown Covington.”

The Greenway has

connected small neigh-borhood parks in Coving-ton, and the same will betrue in Wilder, said KaraC. Williams, vice presi-dent of strategic initia-tives and communicationfor Vision 2015.

“Frederick’s Landingis a fantastic asset for ourregion,” she said. “It is theonly opportunity that wehave currently to put aboat on the Licking.”

Wilder has done a fan-tastic job of having a parkfor recreation, and it willbe a strong anchor for thetrails, Williams said.

The ultimate goal ofthe Greenway, which willprobably happen last, isconnecting trail systemsin Covington and Wilder,Williams said.

“I’m very optimisticand think that in the nextfewyearswecanbuildoutCovington and build outWilder and everybody isgoing to be calling us and

saying ‘Why doesn’t itconnect’,” she said.

Williams said Vision2015 wants those phonecalls demanding a con-nection because it willmake raising money easi-er.

The estimated cost ofbuilding a pedestrian andcycling bridge across theLicking in Wilder isaround $1 million, shesaid. It’s the most expen-sive piece of trail by far,she said.

Using the abandonedbridge over the LickingRiver is in themasterplanfor crossing the LickingRiver, but it is not the onlypossibility, she said.

“I think the real gemofthis system could be howdo we make that connec-tion from Covington toWilder,” shesaid. “Howdowe build it in a way that isa very unique design forour region and is going tobe an attraction point.”
