BRIEFLY

FORT MITCHELL —When Ryan Olexiathought about fulfillinghis lifelong dream hethought to do it in no otherplace but Fort Mitchell.

“I love it there,” hesaid. “It has a real per-sonal feel to it.”

He’s hoping to capturethat “personal feel” in hisveterinarian practice heplans to open there latethis summer.

Fort Mitchell Veteri-narian Center will be lo-cated in a building at thecorner Orphanage Roadand Dixie Highway. Thebuilding, co-owned byWayne Stephens, will beinhabited by Olexia’spractice, Stephen’s W. Ste-phens Cabinetry and De-sign and a third business

yet to be named.The building is cur-

rently undergoing an ex-tensive remodel.

According to Stephens,the building has a long his-tory. It opened in 1940 as a600-seat movie theater,The Four Star Dixie. Inthe 1950s it became hometo a bank and has con-tinued to house a bankingbusiness until early lastyear.

Olexia is hoping it willbe the perfect spot to carefor pets and their people.

“My goals are to pro-vide personal care,” hesaid. “You’re workingwith pets and I enjoyworking with them, butthe bulk of your work as avet is working with the petowners. I like that, it’s myfavorite part of the job –getting to know them on apersonal level.”

Fort Mitchell City Ad-ministrator Sharmili Red-dy said this will be thecity’s first animal clinic.

“Fort Mitchell is a veryfamily and busines orient-ed community,” she said.

“This is a new service ourresidents will appreciatehaving close by. We’revery excited.”

Olexia, who grew up inWest Virginia, earned hisundergrad at West Vir-ginia University. He grad-uated Ohio State Veteri-narian School in 2005 andspent three years in theArmy working as a vetand spent a year deployedto Egypt. After the Army,he practiced around An-napolis, Maryland and in2012, moved to the Cincin-nati area.

Veterinarian practiceis something that’s alwaysbeen on the back of hismind.

“When I was a kid, I en-joyed the family pets,” hesaid. “I’d even take care ofour neighbors’ pets whenthey were out of town.Now, I love helping ani-mals stay healthy.”

Kenton Schoolstakes food toapartmentcomplexes

Kenton County Schoolsalso provides free break-fast and lunch through theSummer Food ServiceProgram. In KentonSchool District, 6,000 stu-dents qualify for free andreduced lunch. The dis-trict holds its summerfeeding program at vari-ous times and schools, aswell as a few apartmentcomplexes within thecounty through August.

“A lot of our familiesdon’t have transportationor the parent is workingand it’s a long way for thekids to walk, so we go tothem,” River Ridge Ele-mentary Family ResourceCenter coordinator Deb-bie Ledonne said.

Ledonne said takingmeals to students is also agreat way to get more in-volved within the commu-nity. Students and parentsbecome more familiarwith school staff, buildinglasting relationships.

“It’s great to watch theinteractions,” Ledonnesaid.

Kenton Schools notonly offers a free break-fast or lunch, but alsoreading opportunities andother special activities forfamilies. Kenton Schoolsstudent nutrition directorElizabeth Menke said thesummer feeding programgoes a long way in “remov-ing learning barriers.”

“This is one of my fa-vorite parts of my job,”Menke said. “Everyonewho gets a meal is just sothankful. This is a wonder-ful way to reach out to ourstudents and families andto get to know them.”

ERLANGER — As Er-langer’s 2015-16 budgetwas prepared Toyota’s de-parture was an importantfactor. Last year the thecity’s largest taxpayer an-nounced plans to move itsNorth American head-quarters from Erlanger toPlano, Texas.

“Thankfully Toyota’sdeparture from Erlangerhas been spread overthree years,” Mayor TysonHermes said. “While ourrevenue has been impact-ed, we have been able totry to make up for the lossby welcoming commerce,and trying to encouragebusinesses to grow in Er-langer.

“While new jobs andbusinesses in 2015 haveoffset the loss of Toyota sofar, I really will not call it areplacement until the jobsand business return to theToyota facility.”

Hermes said the cityhas its “work cut out forthem” moving forward.He said his goal remains tolower taxes. In fact, the2015-16 budget wasplanned with the idea ofonly taking the compen-sating rate.

“To accomplish this, wewill not only need to bringin jobs and business, wewill also need to find in-ventive ways to cut spend-ing without cutting ser-vices to the people of Er-langer,” he said. “For ex-ample, our (informationtechnology) director, MattAllen, has cut his 2015 bud-get over $160,000 bychanging our phone sys-tem, email and Internetsystem, and reworkingour website and computermaintenance contracts.We want to work to pro-mote that philosophy offiscal responsibilityacross all city depart-ments.”

The budget, approved

unanimously by council atthe June 2 meeting, callsfor total general fund ap-propriations of $15,185,190and $18,045190 for allfunds. This general fund is1.2 percent more than lastyear’s amended generalfund.

City AdministratorMarc Fields said thisyear’s budget doesn’t callfor any major projects.The city does plan to com-plete the third phase of theDonaldson Road improve-ment project. This phaseincludes adding mediansto increase safety andbeautification of this mainentryway.

Fields said the city willalso invest in a facilitystudy.

“We want to conduct astudy to get a good handleon all of our facilities’ con-ditions and needs for thefuture,” he said. “For ex-ample, the fire house wasbuilt in the ‘70s and weknow it needs some reno-vations and maybe evenreplacement. We want tolook at all of our facilitiesas a whole to get a betteridea of how to spend ourdollars. The idea is to lookto the future.”

In addition to prepara-tion for this fiscal yearbudget, the staff and coun-cil have mapped out athree-year plan for thecity.

According to FinanceDirector Greg Engleman,the three-year plan re-veals that the city will beable to “sustain the loss ofToyota fairly well.”

BURLINGTON — A new coor-dinator at NKY MakerSpace isputting together plans for agreat summer.

Ryan Kellinghaus, who hasserved as Lloyd MemorialHigh School’s assistant princi-pal, starts July 1as coordinatorfor extended learning opportu-nities at MakerSpace, whichopened next to the BooneCounty Fairgrounds this year.The idea is to allow studentsand teachers throughout theregion to share resources andbuild skills in STEAM, or sci-ence, technology, engineering,art and math.

Kellinghaus said his father,described as a “genius dis-guised as a factory worker,”taught him to be creative andresourceful. As a sophomore,Kellinghaus and his fatherused old paint cans, metalscrap, a few switches from Ra-dio Shack and spare parts tobuild “a six-can multi-colordimmable chasing dance floorlighting system” for him to usewhile he worked as a disc jock-ey at a high school dance.

“Though I went on to earnmy bachelor degree in psy-chology and sociology, I con-tinued to develop as an inven-tor, musician, nationally re-nowned DJ and talent agentbefore my career in educa-tion,” he said.

Kellinghaus became ateacher in 2000 and worked inelementary and high schoolspecial education for 10 yearsbefore becoming a Lloyd ad-ministrator. He was “en-thralled” with the idea of tak-ing over at MakerSpace.

In order to help Maker-Space reach the widest possi-ble range of students, Kelling-haus is working with a team ofeducators and communityleaders.

Jim Detwiler, Boone Coun-ty Schools’ assistant superin-tendent for learning supportservices, said Kellinghaus wasan easy choice to lead Maker-Space.

“It was clear to us that Ryanhimself is a creative ‘maker’and a divergent thinker whopossesses the right disposi-tions and the excellent peopleskills required to run, promoteand grow the NKY Maker-Space,” he said.

During a MakerSpacesteering committee meeting,Kellinghaus demonstrated aproject his son, Max, complet-ed. These “firewalker shoes”include an Arduino micro-computer project that per-forms programmed LED lightshows with each step.

“I hope to develop the samemaker spirit in my childrenand students as my father andteachers did for me,” Kelling-haus said.

That kind of project as wellas many others are open forstudents to try at the Maker-Space, along with 3-D printersand robotics projects.

For a list of workshops anda calendar of MakerSpaceevents, visit the NKY Maker-

Space Facebook page or nky-mak erspace.wordpress.com.

Kellinghaus will also over-see several workshops thissummer. Some of the proposedworkshops include: sound en-gineering, 3-D modeling, Py-thon programming, origami,video production and woodtooling.

“We are also developing aMaster Maker program forteachers and students that wewill launch in August. Thenwe’ll begin inviting teachersand students for field trips inOctober and expand invita-tions throughout the NorthernKentucky community to stu-dents and schools outside ofBoone County,” he said.

Pamela Jayne of the BooneCounty Public Library expectsto host a couple differentbuilding workshops at Maker-Space.

In one, middle school par-ticipants will create catapults,and in the other, named “Mon-umental Creations,” studentsin grades 4-6 will build largestructures over the course offour weeks.

Geodesic domes, wind-re-sistant skyscrapers, fractaltetrahedrons and paper rollercoasters will test participants’engineering knowledge.

Jayne said she’s excitedabout getting started.

“By working together, theMakerSpace will allow those inthe community the opportuni-ty to experience STEAM-based activities through thetechnology and equipmentavailable,” she said. “Having ahands-on learning experienceis one of the most excitingways to learn.”

Bill Schneider, a former Si-mon Kenton math teacher whois involved in several commu-nity projects, will lead someaeronautics workshops.

One will focus on the fourforces of flight: lift, drag,thrust and gravity, and the oth-er will include lessons inground and flight planning forstudents to prepare for simu-lated or actual flight.

Schneider said the Maker-space is “a network of regularfolks helping kids and teach-ers who share a common pas-sion, for me it is aerospace. Forothers, music or photographyor electricity. Making stuff is afun way to learn.”

FLORENCE —

Although FriendlyMarket has beenopen for almost twoyears, Allison Hinesof Butcher Betties

doesn’t think enough peopleknow about it yet.

Nestled behind a shoppingcenter off Sam Neace and Mt.Zion roads, adjacent to theKroger, the Friendly Marketcombines the freshest flavors,the highest quality locallygrown products and countrycharm.

Hines, a petite powerhousewith a vintage vibe, saidFriendly Market shouldn’t betoo hard to find later this yearwhen Northern Kentucky Uni-versity’s art department willpaint a mural of fruits andvegetables on the tan metalbuilding’s exterior.

“We’ll be a culinary destina-tion. That’s what we want,” shesaid. “People will see us fromthe highway. They’ll be able tosee it from airplanes. ... Oncethey know we’re here, they’llbe back.”

The Boone County marketon Norbotten Avenue has anoutdoor farmers market aswell as nine indoor tenants:Afishionados, Butcher Betties,Butcher Betties KentuckyProud General Store, The Colo-nel’s Creamery, Colonel De’sGourmet Herbs and Spices,The Flying Olive~Bluegrass,Smokin This and That BBQand Unbridled Spirit liquorstore.

Hines started her pinup-inspired butcher shop lastyear, and now also managesButcher Betties KentuckyProud General Store.

On one side of the market’scenter aisle stands Hines’whole animal butchery shop,

where she offers a variety ofmeats as well as locally pro-duced cheeses. On the otherside sits the Kentucky Proudshop, which features soaps,jellies, jewelry and other Ken-tucky artisan products and giftbaskets.

With her Victory rolled hairand red-lipped smile, Hinestalks about Ed-Mar Dairy’scheese and offers a taste.

“Every one of us has sam-ples,” she said. “We know ourfood can be a little more ex-pensive than in the supermar-ket, but it’s locally grown andsustainably raised. People areinterested in being more con-nected to their food.”

Vintage Fair has eclectichandmade items

Hines oversees the market’sVintage Fair every month,which features a variety ofeclectic handmade items andantiques.

Her fascination with historyis visible in her meat case.

“We have ‘city chicken,’something not a lot of peopleknow about anymore,” Hinessaid. “A long time ago, chickenwas a luxury. They might killone chicken a week for Sundaydinner. You couldn’t just go tothe store and buy chicken, sosome butchers would skewercubed pork and call it ‘citychicken.’”

A meat supplier found avintage “city chicken” moldfor her to use.

“I like bringing back thingsfrom the old days,” she said.“People can come in here and

see things they haven’t seen ina long time.”

Hines has made sure themarket is connected to thecommunity, too. Especially themilitary community. As a U.S.Navy veteran, and the fourthgeneration of women in herfamily to have served, Hines isprocuring four special parkingspaces for military members.Two for Purple Heart honor-ees, one for any veteran andone for a Blue or Gold StarMother.

Col. Don Lambert is one ofthe market’s original tenants atThe Colonel’s Creamery.

Although the outdoor mar-ket is open May through Octo-ber, the indoor market is openseven days a week, year-round.Approximately half are openon Mondays, but Lambert’spremium ice cream is acces-sible every day.

‘People care more aboutfood than they used to’

“A lot of people value thebenefit of having better qualityfoods,” he said. “I think thetime is right because there’s atrend for knowing what ingre-dients are in your food. Peoplecare more about it than theyused to.”

Lambert said many of themarket businesses collaboratetogether. He said he turned toColonel De for spices when hewas creating the Colonel’sDarn Hot Brown, a flavor simi-lar to the famous Cincinnati-style chili.

“We each really care aboutevery one of our products, andwe help each other,” he said.“These are specialty artisanproducts.”

Lambert has served more

than 90 original flavors sincehe opened, and his case of 16different ice creams is con-stantly changing. Many aremade from market produce.

“I use Kentucky berries,fruits, pumpkins,” he said.“Persimmon ice cream, honeyand lavender, raspberry mo-cha. There’s always a variety.”

The Colonel also servesunusual flavors such as maplebacon, spiced rum raisin, cher-ry pomegranate habanero andpopcorn.

“There’s always somethingdifferent to try,” Lambert said.

Afishionados hooked onidea of a little shop

John LaFontaine of Afishio-nados fish market obviouslykeeps things fresh as well.

After many years in therestaurant business, LaFon-taine got hooked on the idea ofa little shop with less overheadand fewer employees.

“This area needed a placelike this,” he said. “There wasnothing like this anywherenear here, only in Findlay Mar-ket.”

Afishionados has fish, mus-sels, sea scallops and salmonflown in every other day fromMaine, California, Scotlandand other places.

LaFontaine also preparessoups, spreads and specialtieslike lobster ravioli and lobstermac and cheese. The shopfeatures some frozen shrimp,crab legs and some types offish.

“We all work together inhere,” he said. “If I need sau-sage for gumbo, I get it fromAllison. We all use Colonel De’sspices. It’s a good little com-munity in here and we can allbenefit the rest of the commu-nity.”

Today really was a sim-ple country pleasureskind of day.

Son Shane brought histhree girls over and I tookthe two oldest ones, Eva,7, and Emerson, almost 3,

for a walkdown to theEast ForkRiver. Thegirlscaughtcrawdads,tiny fishandscooped uplots ofshells andother trea-

sures from the shallowwater.

I didn’t realize so muchtime had passed by untilShane came walkingdown with baby Ellery inhis arms. “Time for Emer-son’s nap,” he said.

So we went back to thehouse and even thoughShane didn’t stay forlunch I did have all themakings ready for thissimple pizza. I was alsogoing to photograph thegirls making the pizza forthis column. But sincethat didn’t happen, I’llshare a photo of the rea-son why: two little girlsenjoying, as I said, “sim-ple country pleasures.”

The little ones will love making this. Good evenwith just cheese.

1 can flaky biscuits, 10 ouncesPizza sauceMozzarellaOptional toppings: pepperoni, chopped bell

peppers, mushrooms, onions, etc.

Preheat oven to 400. Separate dough into 10biscuits. Place 1 biscuit in center of cookie sheet linedwith foil and sprayed. Arrange remaining biscuits incircle, edges slightly overlapping, around centerbiscuit. Gently press with your hand into a 10-inchcircle. This makes your sunflower. Spread a thin layerof sauce on top. Sprinkle with your choice of top-pings. End with topping of mozzarella. Bake 12-15minutes. To serve, pull apart.

Mediterranean chicken with orange marmalade sauceLately I’ve been using thighs for this recipe. I promised this recipe to a young man

whose name I don’t remember. He stopped to chat with me at the store. Funny that I can’tremember his name but do remember very clearly what he wanted, so here it is: A reallygood-tasting, fairly easy, main dish for chicken.

4-6 boneless skinless breast halves or thighsSalt, pepper, flourOlive oil3/4 to 1 cup white wine3 tablespoons lemon juice1 heaping teaspoon minced garlic or more1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes or more1/4 cup thawed undiluted orange juiceUp to 1-1/2 cups orange marmalade

Salt and pepper chicken, dredge in flour. Saute in oil, browning well on both sides.Keep warm. Pour wine in pan and cook, stirring to bring brown bits up. Add lemon juice,garlic, red pepper and half of the orange juice. Bring to boil and cook about 3 minutes.Stir in 1 cup marmalade and rest of orange juice.

Taste and add more marmalade if desired. Serve on bed of rice or couscous withsauce poured over chicken.

With 120, the common-wealth of Kentucky holds thedistinction of having the thirdmost counties of any state inthe nation. While this some-times can be a blessing for ourpopulace, as most would agreethat government closer to thepeople governs best, at times itcan be a bit of a stumblingblock as we can tend to beterritorial and put blinders onrefusing to see the overallbenefits of large-scale pro-jects.

We in Northern Kentuckyhave long been able to workthrough some of these issuesby blurring county lines andtaking a more regional per-spective. These partnershipshave resulted in our areaworking together in such vitalareas as infrastructure, educa-tion, health care and tourism.Much of the success in North-ern Kentucky has been the

result of ourleaders, bothcivic and gov-ernmental,having theability to setaside artificialboundariesand truly worktogether as ateam.

To that end,in 1989 theNorthern Ken-

tucky Legislative Caucus re-quested the region form theNorthern Kentucky ConsensusCommittee, which is com-prised of leaders from a varie-ty of backgrounds includinggovernment, business andcommunity organizations. Thiscommittee was charged withthe task of prioritizing majorcapital projects that wouldbenefit our region as a whole.Since then, that committee has

done so everyother year,coincidingwith the bien-nial budgetprocess un-dertaken bythe KentuckyGeneral As-sembly.

The North-ern KentuckyConsensusCommittee has

done excellent work in thisarea and the fruits of theirlabors are evident each day aswe see examples such as theNorthern Kentucky Conven-tion Center, Bank of KentuckyCenter, and the campuses ofGateway College. Just thesethree projects are some of theshining stars for our regionand we can easily recognizethe benefits we gain fromthem.

As preparations begin forthe 2016 General Assembly, theNorthern Kentucky ConsensusCommittee is once again dili-gently soliciting project pro-posals and information andprioritizing projects for us topresent this upcoming Janu-ary. The thought, which hasbeen successful in the past, isthat these projects are morelikely to receive funding andcome to fruition if our entireregion speaks with one clearand united voice.

It is important that citizensand organizations throughoutour region seriously considerprojects they would like to seebe considered by the commit-tee. If you would like to make asuggestion, we encouragethose with ideas to submitthem to the Northern Ken-tucky Chamber of Commerce.Applications for the projectscan be received from and sub-

mitted to Alex Kraemer, man-ager of public affairs for theNorthern Kentucky Chamberof Commerce, by calling 859-578-6386 or emailing akraem-er@nky chamber.com.

Experience has proven thatwhen Northern Kentucky’sleaders, both in the private andpublic sectors, work togetherand help supply legislatorswith clear goals, these part-nerships can result in greatventures that benefit us all.

State Rep. Addia Wuchner, R-Bur-lington, has served the 66th HouseDistrict, which consists of a portionof Boone County, since 2005. Shechairs the Northern Kentucky Legis-lative Caucus. Sen.

With summertime bringingabout the end of the schoolyear, many Kentucky familiesare gearing up for threemonths of warmer weather,longer days and hopefully a

little vacation.In Frankfort,we are prepar-ing to get backto work duringthe InterimSession.

June sig-nals the startof our InterimJoint Commit-tee (IJC)Meetings,which are heldin Frankfort

as well as throughout thestate. During this time, sena-tors and representatives reg-ularly convene with theirassigned committees and hearabout issues that are facingthe commonwealth; many thatmay result in legislation in ournext session.

The 2016 Legislative Ses-sion will require the GeneralAssembly to create the nextbiennium budget – a complextask to complete in 60 days.The budget is always a focalpoint of the even-year ses-sions and we will have to workhard for solutions to otherchallenges facing our statesuch as our public pensionsystems, government effi-ciency, and public educationjust to name a few.

As chairman of the SenateAppropriations and RevenueCommittee, I look forward tothe opportunity to addressthese challenges while work-ing on policies to move Ken-tucky forward. The budget isa reflection of our common-wealth’s priorities and I wel-come your input as we draft it.

To prepare for the sessionduring the interim period, thestatutory 2016-2018 BudgetPreparation and Submission

committee, which I chair, willbegin meeting next week.During this meeting andthroughout the interim, wewill be laying the ground workfor Kentucky’s next budget.

Additionally, I serve onBanking and Insurance; Elec-tions, Licensing and Occupa-tions; State and Local Govern-ment; and Veterans, MilitaryAffairs and Public Protectioncommittees. I also serve onseveral Budget Review Sub-committees. My Senate andHouse colleagues have a greatdeal of information to take in,testimonies to hear, and topicsto ponder while participatingin the IJC meetings.

The IJC meetings heldfrom June through Decemberare incredibly important forinforming and educating thelegislative body as we seekgood public policy and work tosteer Kentucky on the path tosuccess. I am excited to reportthat IJC meetings will be heldin Northern Kentucky onThursday, June 18.

The Budget Subcommit-tees, Appropriations & Reve-nue, and the Licensing andOccupations Committeechaired by Sen. John Schickelwill all take place at the METSCenter in Erlanger.

I am excited to work hardwith these committees andserve our district and stateduring the Interim Session.

Last week’s question:What should Cincinnati

city leaders and residents doto curtail the recent trends ofgun-related crimes in thecity?

“If you want a gun haveto pass a background andIQ test. It will sift throughcriminals and stupid peo-ple. Combo!”

Brockman Heather

“Criminals get gunswithout following the cur-rent background checksthat have to be done now.”

James Bartley

“Stricter punishment .No bail allowed with guncrimes.”

Karen Swanson Dietz

“Stiffer gun-relatedlaws, etc.! More jail time! Ifyou take a life and foundguilty of doing so youshould get the death penal-ty with no wait time, shouldbe carried out right aftercourt.”

Dorothy Crank Pettit

“They need more safetypatrols and people need tobe willing to help.”

John Scales

“Programs, church andpolice. You could call itPCP. Then maybe peoplewould try it. Programs toteach young people how tosucceed in American soci-ety. Use three hours of theschool day in those areas toteach things that their par-ents won’t, like buildingretirements and how tointerview for jobs. Jobplacement programs thathelp young people find ca-reers.”

Bethany Pancerzewski Spence

“Build a 25-foot concretewall with razor wire at thetop. Remove all childrenthen flood the area withheroin, alcohol and moreguns .”

Mike Fryman

“People need to pray!Only God can fix this!”

Anna Merlo

“What can they do? It isup to every individual tomake a decision to docrimes ... nothing can bedone. Police are not aroundwhen the crime is commit-ted. The suspect knowsthat.”

Carl Wilhelmy

“More gun control. Myfork made me fat and gunskill people.”

Rob Stone

“Make the city limitssmaller and have surround-ing cities take care of someof this crap. More Neigh-borhood Watch groups. Weall have seen firsthand whatthe mother did to her son inBaltimore on national TV.Stiffer penalties, send themall to hard labor workcamps or just cane themlike they do in other coun-tries.”

Arin Hargett

“I think if there werestiffer penalties it couldhelp. Prison/jail should beso miserable that no onewould ever want to go in thefirst place. We got peoplecommitting crimes just toget back in the damn placefor free food and cable TV.”

Terry Ransom

“I believe that thechanges that are being im-plemented now are a goodplace to begin.”

Dixie Heights runningback Luke Zajac had abrilliant senior season inwhich he helped lead theColonels to their first-ever state championshipgame appearance. Thurs-day night he added anoth-er career highlight as hestarred in the NorthernKentucky FootballCoaches AssociationEast-West Senior All-Starfootball game at ScottHigh.

Zajac was named theUC Health Player of theGame as he racked up 199all-purpose yards, in-cluding 117 receiving and82 rushing, and caught a16-yard touchdown passwhile leading the EastAll-Stars to a 28-7 winover the West.

“(Zajac’s) such astrong kid,” said New-port Central Catholiccoach Dan Wagner, whocoached the East All-Stars. “And he doesn’tsay a word – he just plowsyou over and then getsback in the huddle. I lovethat kid. Now I under-stand why they were sogood last year and whythey beat us so bad.”

Simon Kenton line-backer Barry Deaton wasnamed the player of thegame for the West.

The East team, madeup of players from Belle-vue, Bishop Brossart,Campbell County, Co-vington Catholic, Dayton,Dixie Heights, High-lands, Holmes, Newportand NewCath, got out toan early lead over theWest team that consisted

of players from Beech-wood, Boone County,Conner, Cooper, HolyCross, Lloyd, Ludlow,Ryle, Scott and SimonKenton. Beechwood’s No-el Rash coached the West.

Zajac made his pres-ence felt on offensethroughout the entiregame. He totaled 133 all-purpose yards in the firsthalf, with a 47-yardcatch-and-run in the firstquarter and a 39-yard runin the second on fourth-and-1 that set up theEast’s first touchdown.Three plays later Belle-vue’s Zach Barrettjumped up and hauled ina perfectly lofted pass byCovCath’s Adam Wagnerfor a 21-yard score. An in-complete pass on the two-point conversion attemptleft the score at 6-0 with7:31 to play in the half.

The West respondedlater in the quarter whenthey recovered a punt attheir own 47 with 3:05 leftbefore halftime. Lloydquarterback HaydenMolitor attempted fivestraight passes on thedrive – two of which hecompleted to Beech-wood’s Joe Studer forgains of 16 and 33 yards –and then Scott’s Eli Sowd-er plunged in from fouryards out. Lloyd’s SergioGutierrez booted the ex-tra-point to give the Westthe 7-6 lead.

NewCath’s Nate En-slen returned the ensuingkickoff 37 yards to mid-field for the East All-Stars. With just 1:43 left,the East orchestrated aseven-play, 50-yard drivethat culminated in a 16-yard double-reversetouchdown pass from

Newport quarterbackPaul Price to Zajac.Price’s two-point conver-sion run made the score14-7 at halftime.

“That’s why we madethe all-star team, becausewe’re good, I guess,”Price said about histeam’s offensive success.“(Zajac) and I had a con-nection for the three daysof practice that we had,but I thought we playedwell as a whole team.”

The East turned thegame into a rout early inthe fourth quarter. Pricehad a 39-yard run thattook his team inside theWest’s 10 yard line, andthen when Newport run-ning back Dominick Jo-seph pounded his way inand NewCath’s BradyGray tacked on the two-point conversion.

Since the weather isnice, are you thinking ofstarting to walk this year?My husband and I enjoywalking through ourneighborhood, but whenit’s extremely hot, rainy,or icy (you know thosedays will be here againbefore you know it!) weoften turn to our tread-mill.

You may be concernedthat if you walk on atreadmill it will not be asgood a workout as walk-ing outside. The truth isthey both provide greatbenefits to your body, butthere are some smalldifferences. Here aresome considerationswhen comparing walkingoutside versus the tread-mill.

» If you are using atreadmill and leave it at aflat incline, you may notburn as many calories asyou would if you werewalking outside. Theground naturally has hillsand valleys and yourbody always has to adjust

to theland-scape. Inorder toadd alittlemorecalorieburningto yourtreadmillwalk, use

the incline function. Infact, just inclining to 1percent can help youburn more calories andget your heart rate up alittle faster.

» If you are on atreadmill, try not to holdthe handrails. If you holdonto the handrail, you willburn fewer calories. It isalso not good for yourposture. Remember whenyou are walking, youwant your arms to movefreely and your head tobe up straight.

» Both indoor andoutdoor walking requiresyou to use your balance.However, when walkingoutdoors you may have to

dodge cracks and takesmall steps. This alsoadds a little more chal-lenge to the walk. Walk-ing outside, you also maywalk downhill. This usesdifferent muscles thanwalking on a flat surfaceor uphill.

» Because the tread-mill is flat, if you have notbeen active for a while,the treadmill provides asafe and easy way to startwalking.

» Many treadmillshave programs that allowfor a warm-up, walkingchallenge and cool down.This provides you with achallenge that you maynot get outside.

» You never knowwhen the weather mayprevent you from walk-ing outside. The treadmillallows you to walk, nomatter what it looks likeoutside.

Kathy R. Byrnes is KentonCounty extension agent forfamily and consumer sci-ences.

Treadmill or walkingoutside: Which is better?

The Cincinnati AreaChapter of the AmericanRed Cross is holding itsannual Leadership Devel-opment Camp for 150youth participants on thecampus of Xavier Univer-sity from July 9-12.

Leadership Develop-ment Camp is a four-day,three-night leadershipconference for teens ages13-17 who are enteringgrades 8-11 in the fall.Now in its 32nd year, thisyear’s camp continues atradition of introducing

participants to new ideasabout leadership, diversi-ty, team-building, com-munication skills and howthey can contribute to themission of the Red Cross.

The camp also givesyouth participants the op-portunity to get a taste ofcollege life, and to meetnew friends from differ-ent walks of life.

A key feature of theprogram is that classesand presentations are de-signed and presented byteen and young adultcounselors, who are them-selves in high school orcollege, and graduates ofLeadership DevelopmentCamp. Important sub-jects are addressed, such

as public speaking, volun-teerism, diversity aware-ness, and ethics.
