B3 HEALTHY HABITS Artose Pinner carried a message to students to eat healthy and stay active. A7 RESIDENTS THINK PINK A5 NEWPORT — The location of the driver’s license office is the primary issues Circuit Court Clerk candidates Mary Ann Mad- er Jones and Taunya Nolan Jack have different views upon. Republican Nolan Jack, of California, is seeking reelection to a second four-year term, and Democrat Mader Jones, of Alexan- dria, is a first time candidate for the office. The Circuit Court Clerk office handles filings for district and cir- cuit court cases in Campbell County and is also respon- sible for issuing state driver li- censes. Mader Jones said she has ex- tensive manage- ment experience including opening up a mortgage company branch in Campbell County. A current employee of Union Savings Bank, Mader Jones said she has worked for 17 years as an insurance agent and another 17 years in mortgage fi- nance. “Both occupations involve some knowledge of the court sys- tems,” she said. Mader Jones said when the new county administration build- ing was constructed at 1098 Mon- mouth St. in Newport the plan was to move the Circuit Court Clerk driver’s license office there along with the county clerk’s office. The county clerk’s office, a separate entity, handles vehicle tag renewals. Having the offices together was going to make it more conve- nient for everyone with lots of free parking and easy access, Mader Jones said. People now have to go to the courthouse on York Street to renew their driv- er’s license and to the county clerk’s office at 1098 Monmouth to renew their auto tags, she said. And to get to the drivers license office people have to go through security, and go through the old building to get to the office on the far end of the new addition. “It’s very inconvenient espe- cially for seniors and handi- capped people,” Mader Jones said. Not having the driver’s license office also costs the county mon- ey because the sheriff’s office has to maintain a security check- point for the office to be open on Saturday in the courthouse. Nolan Jack, first appointed to the circuit court clerk’s office Jan. 13, 2009, said her work expe- rience in the courts and as a legal secretary gives her the best ex- perience for the duties the office primarily handles. The convenience issue sur- rounding the driver’s license of- fice is a misnomer, Nolan Jack said. The offices being together frees up employees working on court paperwork to also work in the driver’s license office, she said. People only have to get their driver’s license renewed once ev- ery four years, and they need their vehicle tags renewed annu- ally, she said. “And they don’t expire at the same time, so I don’t know how it’s a big inconvenience every four years,” Nolan Jack said. There’s also three full lots on Court Street of parking and street meter parking. And people have to go up to the second floor at the county administration building, so the distance from the front door is similar, Nolan Jack said. Nolan Jack said she intro- duced credit card payments dur- ing her time in office. Nolan Jack said she thinks vot- ers will be best served keeping her on the job because she’s been in the legal field since 1986 and she is available “24-7” to attor- Court clerk candidates on license office By Chris Mayhew [email protected] Mader Jones Nolan Jack See CLERK, Page A2 HIGHLAND HEIGHTS — Camp- bell County Fiscal Court has made a final decision to close Lakeside Terrace senior apart- ments in Highland Heights Feb.1, 2013. Fiscal court unanimously ap- proved a resolution declaring their intent to close the senior apartments during the Sept. 20 meeting in Newport. Judge-executive Steve Pen- dery warned residents in May that the county was intent on clos- ing the apartments and selling the building. Since Pendery’s announce- ment, more than half of the resi- dents have moved to new homes. Of the 43 residents living in the apartments in May, 14 people re- mained as of Sept. 20. Fiscal court unanimously approved a resolu- tion to close Lakeside Terrace at the Sept. 20 meeting in Newport. “I think we’re down to 14, and I think two of the 14 have places to go,” Pendery said. Pendery said the fiscal court’s Sept. 20 announcement was fol- lowing through on a promise to close the senior apartments in May. “I let everybody know so there was no confusion where every- thing was going and people had at least eight months to find a new place to live,” he said. The county receives regular reports on the circumstances of each resident remaining, and the likelihood they will succeed in finding a new place, he said. “Everybody should comfort- ably have time enough to make a move,” Pendery said. The leases of Lakeside Ter- race residents can be legally ter- minated on 30-days notice, but the county made a commitment to provide them with at least 120 days notice, said Campbell Coun- ty Administrator Robert Horine. “This notice will be in advance of the 120 days notice,” Horine said. Wilder resident Kevin Gordon said during the Sept. 20 meeting that he wanted the county to make public a report detailing the $5 million cost estimate to renovate Lakeside Terrace.

The program, which will be- gin on the 800 block of Mon- mouth Street, offers business owners up to $7,500 in matching funds to improve the outside of their buildings. “This is a continuation of our effort to improve the downtown corridor,” said City Manager Thomas Fromme. “I think its going to be a great program.” In the past, the city has com- pleted work including putting utilities underground and im- proving lighting on the street, Fromme said, but more work needs to be done. “If you look down Monmouth Street, you’ll see we have a lot of nice buildings,” Fromme said. “But, we also have some build- ings that need some work.” Through the program, busi- nesses can get matching funds for everything from painting and windows to siding and aw- nings, Fromme said. Fromme said as long as the business stays open in their cur- rent location for at least five years, they won’t have to pay the money back. The city decided to start with one block, the 800 block, for the first year of the program, to have a more condensed visual impact to show what the pro- gram can do. Next year, the program will be extended to the rest of Mon- mouth Street. Fromme said the city have allocated $100,000 for the pro- gram, which is enough to help several of the street’s business- es. One business that is ready to take advantage of the new pro- gram is Sis’s Family Affair Res- taurant, located at 837 Mon- mouth St. Owner Sandy Schweitzer said the front of their building, which they hope to restore to the way it was originally, needs a lot of work. “I think having this facade money gives businesses an op- portunity to be able to do a lot more with their buildings,” Schweitzer said. Using money from the pro- gram, Schweitzer said she plans to make improvements includ- ing uncovering some of the old windows located on the front of the building, extend their patio area across the entire front of their building, install awnings and more. “I think all those things will make our business more appeal- ing and bring in more custom- ers,” Schweitzer said.

    NEWPORT The City ofNewport is continuing its ef-forts to improve MonmouthStreet by implementing a newfacade improvement program.

    The program, which will be-gin on the 800 block of Mon-mouth Street, offers businessowners up to $7,500 inmatchingfunds to improve the outside oftheir buildings.

    This is a continuation of oureffort to improve the downtowncorridor, said City ManagerThomas Fromme. I think itsgoing to be a great program.

    In the past, the city has com-pleted work including puttingutilities underground and im-proving lighting on the street,Fromme said, but more workneeds to be done.

    If you lookdownMonmouthStreet, youll seewehavea lot ofnice buildings, Fromme said.But, we also have some build-ings that need some work.

    Through the program, busi-nesses can get matching fundsfor everything from paintingand windows to siding and aw-nings, Fromme said.

    cost estimate to renovateas too expensive during theJune 20 fiscal court meet-ing.There isasbestos in thebuilding and other expen-sive repairs are needed inany renovation, he said.

    Campbell Countys deci-sion to close and sell thebuilding takes the countyout of the business ofmain-taining a senior citizenshousing building.

    Gordon said he thinksclosing Lakeside Terraceand not having anything toreplace it is worth the in-vestment, compared tosomething like a proposedtax by the independent li-brary district increase tobuild a new South Branch.

    There are more agen-cies and facilities availablenow than when LakesideTerrace was opened in1969, but the county shouldcontinue to step up to con-tinue operation ofLakesideTerrace, he said.

    I still think it is an as-set, and it is has been some-thing the county should beproud of in terms of havinga facility like that whichputs us heads and shoul-

    ders above most counties,Gordon said.

    FORT THOMAS WhenFortThomasresidentGinaHolts son, Joey Holt, 10,started complaining aboutpain in his hip earlier thisyear, she never imaginedthe tough times that wereahead of them.

    I thoughthe justpulleda muscle, Gina said. Afew days later it was get-ting worse and spreading,so then I thought maybe itwas growing pains.

    After days went by andthe pain continued, Ginadecided it was time to takeher son to the doctor.

    When nothing abnor-

    mal showedup in the bloodwork and X-rays, the doc-tor agreed that it must begrowing pains.

    But, the pain continuedgetting worse, leading Gi-na to take Joey to an ortho-pedic doctor, who stillcouldnt find an explana-tion.

    At this point he washaving days where hecouldnt even get out ofbed, or would get up andfall right back down be-cause thepainwas so bad,Gina said.

    Joey said the pain wasunbearable.

    After several morecalls to the doctor, Joey re-ceived a referral to see anorthopedic doctor at Cin-cinnatiChildrensHospitalMedical Center, where anMRI showed somethingnone of the other doctorshad thought about, sincemany of them had neverseen it before.

    Joey had Histiocytosis,a rare, cancer-like, autoim-mune disease that causeswhite blood cells to attack

    certain parts of the body.While the cells attack

    differentpartsofdifferentpeoples bodies, in Joeyscase, theyattackedhis hip-bone, almost completelyeating it away.

    The disease, which oc-curs in five of every mil-lion children, wasnt diag-nosed earlier because it isso rare. Joeys doctors hadnever encountered it, Ginasaid.

    They were lucky thatthe disease only attackedhis hipbone, instead of or-gans, as it does in more se-vere cases that can lead todeath.

    A few days after the di-agnosis, Joey had surgery,includingabonegraphandbone biopsy.

    After the surgery, Joeyhad to spend three monthsin a wheelchair, spent sev-eral months going to phys-ical therapy and missedmonths of school.

    Ginahad tomoveJoeysroom to the first floor oftheir house and install achair lift to get him there

    from the entrance of theirhouse in the basement.

    Through it all,Gina saidthe family has had incred-ible support from family,friends and the communi-ty and realize that they arelucky to live so close toChildrens, one of the lead-inghospitals in thecountryto treat this disease.

    While Joey is doingmuch better today, hisfight with the disease,which can come back, willnever end.

    He will always have tobe checked to detect anyfuture attacks, Gina said.

    Many families have totravel to this area to taketheirchildrentoChildrensHospital.

    Now that our life isstarting to get back to ournew normal, I really wantto help those families, Gi-na said.

    Gina is also hoping tospread the word about thedisease, especially thismonth since itsHistiocyto-sis Awareness Month.

    The girls, theyve al-ways wanted a tractor oftheir own, he said.

    Candy Schroder saidthey decided to painttheir John Deere model1944 LA pink and use itas a way to raise moneyfor Chicks & Chucks.

    ALEXANDRIABy a 4-1vote Sept. 10, CampbellCounty Schools Board ofEducation approved a$98,000 digital scoreboardadd-on for thenewfieldbe-ingbuilt atCampbellCoun-ty High School.

    The scoreboard, whichwill display digital mes-sages, is being fundedwithmoney freed up by theNFL and Cincinnati Ben-gals donation of $200,000to help pay for a new syn-thetic turf field.

    The district will save$200,000 because of theNFLgrant on a $16.375mil-

    lion project to build a newArea Technology Center(ATC) andathletic stadiumat the high school, said Su-perintendent Glen Miller.

    Miller said the newscoreboardwill feature ad-vertisements to repay thedistrict.

    It is our expectationthat we will generate morethan $100,000 in advertis-ing revenue, and those rev-enues will be returned tothe general fund, he said.So it is a win-win situa-tion.

    Miller said scoreboardslast about 25 years, and thedistrict is still consideringhow many advertisingspots to have on the score-

    board.A rowof four adver-tising spots will generate$4,000 a year, he said.

    Board chairperson Jan-isWinbigler said it bothersher the discussion has cen-tered on a scoreboard ad-dition when it is a digitalinformation board on topof the scoreboard for thedistrict.

    We have a captive au-dience that we can pro-mote things like our ACTscores being 12th in thestate, Winbigler said.

    Board member PatrickWalch said he votedagainst the digital mes-sage board because he waslooking for some otherfunding sources, and

    didnt think the advertis-ing idea was solidifiedenough yet with a set pay-back plan.

    I just think its a goodtime to show the publicthat were also watchingour Ps and Qs, and some-thing like that might beconstrued as being maybeextravagant or extra orsomething thats not need-ed, Walch said.

    Prior to the meeting,two county residentsspoke in support of thedigital message boardspending, and one residentspoke against it.

    Erik Hermes of Wildersaid hewanted the board touse the savings gained bythe NFL grant elsewhereright now.

    I think that moneywould be better spent onacademics thanonabiggerscoreboard, Hermes.

    Eric Carroll of Alexan-dria said he was in supportof the message board.

    What a great thing itwould be to have a score-board that lights up whenyour son or your daughtercomes out on the field forsoccer, for track, for foot-ball, Carroll said.

    The Bengals donationof $200,000 is like a Christ-mas bonus, he said.

    What do we do withthis, do we sink it back tothe football field, whichwas already in the plans,which was already budget-ed, Carroll said. Or canwe upgrade some thingsthat we werent able to up-grade before, and I thinkthe scoreboard is a fantas-tic opportunity to come upwith something everybodycan enjoy.

    Through this achievement, we havedemonstratedourcommitment toenviron-mental stewardship while also loweringour energy costs, Starnes said.

    Dave Feldmann, the districts directorof facilities, said thatdistrict starteddoinglittle things to be more energy efficientseveral years ago, but then stepped uptheir efforts.

    Feldmann said the work included re-placing fluorescent light bulbs with lowenergy consuming bulbs and cutting backon heating and air conditioning temper-ature settings.

    The district also joinedwith other localdistricts to take part in a state grant pro-gramthathiredanenergymanager tohelpthe districts reduce energy costs.

    Feldmann said in todays economy, anyway a district can save money helps.

    Everydollarwesavegoes into instruc-tion and other areas, Feldmann said.Hopefully by next yearwell be saving aneven higher percent.

    EnergymanagerNathanWright said infiscal year 2012, Grandview reduced itsenergyusageby10.51percentcomparedtofiscal year 2009. The schools energy 2012expenditures were reduced by 16.62 per-cent when compared to 2009, equaling$10,949.

    Since the efforts began in fiscal year2010, Grandview has saved a combined to-tal of $21,533 on energy costs,Wright said.

    To attain these savings and earn theEn-ergy Star, the district also implemented acomprehensive energymanagement plan,created an energy efficiency committeeand worked to promote the importance ofenergy efficiency to students and staff.

    Dan Ridder, the districts director ofcurriculumwho also serves on the energyefficiency committee, said at their mostrecent meeting, they decided to move for-ward with creating and implementing aplan to improve the energy efficiencymore at Bellevue High School.

    Ridder said the committee is lookinginto outside agencies who may be able tohelp thedistrict findmoreways to saveen-ergy at the school andhopefully lead to thehigh school receiving the Energy Star inthe future.

    ALEXANDRIA Former star Univer-sity of Kentucky running back ArtosePinner carried a message to CampbellRidgeElementarySchool students to eathealthy and stay active Wednesday,Sept. 19.

    Pinner spoke to students gathered in-side the gym on behalf of the NFLs FuelUp to Play 60 program and The South-east United Dairy Industry Association.Students each signed a Fuel Up to Play60 Pledge card and dropped it in a box asthey entered the gym.

    Students promised to energize mybody andmind by eating healthy and tobe active 60 minutes each day.

    Pinner said part of being ready foreach day is eating whole grains, fruitsand vegetables and non-fat dairy eachday to fuel up for the day correctly, Pin-ner said to the students.

    Whether its time to ace a test orscore big in a game youll be ready, hesaid.

    Pinner said obesity is a national prob-lem that is spreading, and asked the stu-dents to go outside and jog, jump rope orride a bicycle in their free time insteadof playing video games orwatching tele-vision.

    When you are watching TV, insteadof grabbing some chips grab somefruit, he said. They taste great, andtheyre good for you.

    Pinner, a native of Hopkinsville, Ky.,was the 2002 SEC Offensive Player ofthe Year. He was drafted by the Detroit

    Lions in 2003. Pinner played for Detroit,Minnesota and Atlanta during his sixyears in the league.

    Speakingwithstudents isa funwaytogive back, he said. Pinner said he creat-ed a jacket with positive words to rein-force his message to students. Words onthe jacket included confident, commit-ment and the phrase Never give up.

    MelindaTurner, a school programac-count manager for the Southeast UnitedDairy Association, also spoke to the stu-dents about eating healthy and present-ed a $2,000 check toCampbellRidgeEle-mentary for promoting healthy eating.

    The school has received a total of$6,000 in2011and2012 to improve itscaf-eteria into more of a cafe experience toget students excited about eating andtrying foods they might not otherwise,Turner said. Campbell Ridge bought ablender in 2011 to allow students to havefruit smoothies from the cafeteria, shesaid.

    Having Pinner come to the school,whowasastaratUK,helps reinforce thehealthy eating and exercise message,Turner said. Children often heed a mes-sage especiallywellwhen aprofessionalathlete delivers it, she said.

    Kids have gone home and said totheir parents, We need to eat healthy,Turner said.

    Linda Hardy, Campbell Ridgesschool nurse, said some of the $6,000 ingrant money through dairy associationandNFLFuelUp to Play 60 programhasbeen used to bring fresh fruit to everymeal served in the cafeteria.

    Students especially love eating thebananas, and they are getting to try dif-ferent kinds of beans, Hardy said. Im-proving the cafeteria to give it a restau-rant feel gets students excitedabout eat-ing healthy, she said.

    Wrapupahealthysandwichthewayarestaurant does, and the students getmoreexcitedabouteating it,Hardysaid.All of Campbell County Schools menushave changed in the past year, she said.

    Everything is low fat with wholegrains, and lots more fruits and vegeta-bles, she said.

    First-graderRobertWilkewas eatinga bowl of peaches as Pinner made therounds to speakwith students at their ta-bles during lunch after the assembly.

    Wilke said he always tries to eathealthy at home or school, and orangesare his favorite fruit.

    Wilke said Pinners speechmade himthink more about eating healthy.

    It made me hungry though, Wilkesaid.

    BELLEVUE Led by an expe-rienced lineup and an intenseoffseason training program,Bellevue High Schools volley-ball team is having one of its bestseasons in years.

    The Tigers started the season14-8 thanks in large part to thefact that there were no seniorson the 2011 roster. With so muchexperience back in 2012, theteam set high goals for itself thisyear.

    The girls are 100 percent fo-cused on winning, rather than

    getting used to playingwith eachother, head coach BrittanyFinch said. They know we havea good team. Theyve played to-gether for two years now.

    The Tigers are led by a trio ofseniors. Outside hitter KendallSchmits has played on the varsi-ty since she was in seventhgrade. Setter Jennifer Sextonand outside hitter MakenziePhelpsarestartingonvarsity forthe third straight year.

    We have three really strongseniors, said Finch.

    Schmits and Phelps gainedvaluable experience this pastoffseason when they joined a

    club volleyball team. Travelingaround the nation playing withand against some of the top vol-leyball players in the countrywas an eye-opening experiencefor them.

    I think it helped with theirawareness more than anything,said Finch.

    A pair of eighth-graders havestepped into big roles this sea-son. Setter Linzie Murphy andmiddle hitter Courtney Schmitshaveemergedaskey starters forthe Tigers. With Sexton graduat-ing after this season, she hasgroomed Murphy to be theteams setter of the future.

    Linzie has been a great com-plement to Jennifer, said Finch.Jennifer has really helpedmen-tor Linzie.

    Bellevue lacks height acrossthe frontline, but the youngerSchmits makes up for it with herathleticism.

    We dont have a lot ofheight, said Finch, but Court-ney can jump through the roof.

    With the entire roster return-ing and a change in the rules ex-tending games to best of fivematches, Finch and her staffmade changes to the teams pre-season plan. The team focusedmore on weightlifting and run-

    ning and held its open gyms ear-lier in the summer than it had inpast years.

    We changed our preseasonroutine tohelpbuildmoreendur-ance, said Finch. It has reallyhelped us with the five-matchgames weve played.

    While 14-8 is a good mark forthe program, the Tigers are notsatisfied yet. They hope to finishthe season strongandmakea runin the postseason.

    We had some losses that wecould have turned around, saidFinch. Now, its all about finish-ing strong when the going getstough.

    Bellevue digs into volleyball sceneBy Adam [email protected]

    HIGHLAND HEIGHTS Sept.18wasbothagut-checkandacon-fidence booster for the NorthernKentucky University volleyballteam.

    The Norse lost a heartbreak-ing five-set match to Lipscomb,dropping the fifth and decidingset16-14.Thatmatchwas the firsthome contest in Regents Hall forNKU as an NCAA Division Imember, and its firstmatch in theAtlantic Sun Conference.

    At the same time, it was a nar-row loss to a Lipscomb team thatdrove up from Nashville havingwon the last three conference ti-tles in the A-Sun and wearing themantle of preseason favorite thisyear. So, as far asmoral victoriesgo, it was a lopsided score.

    That was one of the best feel-good games of my life, NKUfreshman hitter Jayden Juliansaid. The fans were crazy. Lip-scombwas picked to win the con-ferenceagain, so it helpedgiveusa gauge of how good the teamsare in the A-Sun.

    More importantly, the Norsetook points and pointers fromthat moral win and used them towin their first two conferencematches Sept. 21-22, beatingNorthFlorida andJacksonville inRegents Hall. The Norse lefttheir homegymwith a 2-1confer-ence record and 14-2 overall.

    Its been an awesome feeling,seniorsetterJennaSchreiversaid.Weve been playing well with thetransition. Weve been unfamiliarwith these teams but weve han-dled the situation pretty well andIm really proud of my team.

    Bouncing back from the Lip-scomb losswas crucial, said headcoach Liz Hart, a former NKUstandout.

    We knew Lipscomb was go-ing to be tough and the key wasbeing able to come back and re-spond, she said. We talkedabout not letting it get us down. Itcomes down to experience andplaying a lot of games. Therehave been a couple of times thisyear that weve been down andbeen able to pull it together.

    Against Jacksonville Sept. 22,the Norse won the first two setsbut lost a late lead to fall in Set 3.The Norse then had to rally frombehind in set four, and after theteams were tied at 23, the Norsewon the final two points to end thematch.

    The two wins should help theNorse as they prepare to head tocentral Georgia this week to faceKennesawState andMercer inA-Sunmatches.AsnewmembersofDivision I, the Norse cannot playin the postseason but are eligibleto win the regular season confer-ence title.

    Our main goal is to win theconference title, Schreiver said.We definitely can do it. We havea good feeling about the confer-ence. The game on Tuesday (Lip-scomb) showed us were a goodteam and we can compete in thisconference.

    The Norse werent sure whatto expect this season as theystepped up to all-new foes. NKUwas picked to finish eighth in thepreseason A-Sun coaches poll,but its likely thatmostvotershadno idea what to expect from thenewcomers, either.

    We knew we would be prettygood after our great spring sea-son and knowing we have a lot ofreturners comingback, so the ex-perience has been a big part ofour success, Hart said. Wespend a lot of time watching filmand that helps us keep workingharder and know we have to playour game to be successful. If wekeep playing our system we canputourselves inagoodpositionatthe end of the season.

    Dame Academy standout,recently notched her4,000th career assist in anNKU uniform.

    Jennas been directingoffense for us since herfreshman year, Hart said.Shes very competitive, averysmart setter. Shemakesthings look very easy, andtheyre not. Shes one of thebest setters out there.

    Schreiver said the tran-sition to a higher level hasbeen challenging.

    We were really con-cerned with the biggerblock, Schreiver said.The players are a lot tall-er and their arm-span islonger than ours, so wevebeen focusing on hittingaround the block and tip-ping higher over theblock. We run a faster-paced offense which triesto confuse their block, too.

    We have five very stronghitters so its very nice tohave five hitters out therethat I can rely on. Im ableto read the block and set itto the hitter I knowcanputthe ball away.

    Leading the plethora ofhitters is Shelby Buschur,who recently became the16th Norse player to reach1,000 kills. The St. Henry,Ohio, native had 21 killsagainst Jacksonville.

    Shelby has been a keyplayer forus all fouryears,Hart said. Shes been abletogetalotofkillspersetandat a high efficiency, and thatishugeforsomeonewegotoall the time.

    Haley Lippert (LakotaEast), Kelly Morrissey(Loveland/Mt.NotreDame),Jenna Ruble and Jayden Ju-lian (Independence/HolyCross) all have more than100 kills this year.

    Julian, Northern Ken-tuckys 2011prep player ofthe year at Holy Cross, isenjoying the transition.

    I love it so much be-cause we get to travel ev-erywhere and its so muchdifferent than highschool, she said. Wepractice all the time. Its adream come true. I didntknow what to expect as afreshman. I came in dur-ing preseason, workedreally hard, and it paidoff.

    Kylee Tarantino (Love-land/Mt. Notre Dame) andAnna Prickel (UrsulineAcademy) lead the de-fense. Tarantino has beena three-year starter at lib-ero. Lefty Megan Wan-strath (Cleves,Ohio/Moth-er of Mercy High School)stepped in with five killsagainst JacksonvillewhenRuble missed the match,and freshman JamieKohls (Newport CentralCatholic) got her first ac-tion of the season in lastweekends matches.

    and the Harry Potter seriesremain available.

    Those who seek the banningof materials from a library arenot simply expressing a point ofview. They are attempting tosuppress someone elses point ofview. Censorship denies us ourfreedom as individuals to chooseand think for ourselves. Forchildren, decisions about whatbooks to read should be made bythe people who know them best their parents. In the end, wemust defend our freedom tomake our own decisions aboutwhat we read and view, but thatfreedom also extends to respectfor the same freedom for every-one else.

    Libraries across the countryare celebrating Banned BooksWeek Sept. 30-Oct. 6 in supportof the freedom to access librarymaterials without censorship.The Campbell County PublicLibrary, along with many othersnationwide, upholds the freedomto read, listen, and view freely.The celebration of BannedBooks Week is to encouragecommunities not to take thisfreedom for granted. Whileeverything in the library mightnot be appropriate for you, eachof us has the right to decide forourselves what to read, to listento, or to view.

    During Banned Books Week,the Campbell County Public

    Library will have dozens ofbooks that have been challengedor banned on display. Check oneout to read and enter randomdrawings throughout BannedBook Week for prizes. Be caughtwith a banned book and welltake your picture at any branch.

    Celebrate the freedom toread at your library, and checkout a banned book Sept. 30-Oct.6.

    CAMPBELL COUNTY REPRESENTATIVESAND CONTACT INFO

    As Novembers elections getcloser, two very different ap-proaches to wielding power are onoffer.

    The first has characterizedmost of our nations history: a will-ingness to engage in robust debateover competing ideas, work acrossideological divides, and above allfindaway to strikeadeal andmoveforward. Its emphasis is on prob-lem-solving and finding workablesolutions to thegreatproblemsthatconfront us. It is what has madepossiblemost of the great pieces oflegislation that have shaped thisnation everything from ruralelectrification to federal high-ways.

    The other approach has been onview more often than not in theHouse, and was prominent in theIndiana Republican primary thatrecently ended in thedefeat of Sen.Richard Lugar. It holds that in or-der to achieve policy goals its cru-cial to purify the party, purge it ofmoderates, andwork hard to reachoverwhelming, possibly even per-manent, political victory. It restsonabelief that thepoliticalphiloso-

    phies at large inthe country rightnow are irrecon-cilable, and thatreaching a com-promise in the in-terest of movinglegislation is im-possible withoutbetraying coreprinciples. In thisview, Washingtondoes not needmore collegiality,

    it needs less.This is not an irrational or ille-

    gitimate approach to governing.There are plenty of politicians ofbothmajorpartieswhohave, at onetime or another, advocated this ap-proach.

    But theres a practical problemwith it: It is very hard to makework. The kinds of majorities thatmake ideologically pure legislat-ing possible dont come along veryoftenandwhen theydo, theydonttend to last very long. Moreover,legislation that has bipartisan sup-port tends not just to bemore dura-ble and of a higher quality than if it

    does not, it is also easier to imple-ment. As a governing tactic, ideo-logical purityhas enormouspracti-cal difficulties.

    Nonetheless, in the upcomingelection these twoapproaches ne-gotiation and flexibility vs. un-yieldingdedication to an ideology will both be part of the package ofissues that voters must weigh.Which makes it crucial that candi-dates talk not only about policy, butalso about process not only aboutwhere they want the country to go,but also about how they expect it toget there. Which approach do theyfavor? If they get into office, howwill they govern?

    Their answers will make a dif-ference in howwe as a nation tack-le the challenges that confront us.So as campaign season truly getsunder way and the candidates whowould represent you start showingup to ask for your vote, dont letthem off the hook: Ask them notjust what they want to accomplish,but how theyll go about it.

    Have you ever thought abouthow many times you interact withwater on a daily basis? Go ahead,count thenumberof times. Ibet thenumberyoucameupwith is higherthan you expected. And thats truefor most people.

    Water is such an intricate partof our daily lives andwe dont real-izehowvaluableand important it isto our health and our community.

    For me, water is life. I drink it,cook with it, bathe in it, use it towash my clothes and my dishes, Iwash my hands with it, not to men-tion outside uses like washing mycar and watering my lawn.

    At Greater Cincinnati WaterWorks, our mission is to providecustomers within our regionalcommunities a plentiful supply ofthe highest quality water and ex-cellent services.

    Our engineers, water qualityexperts andwater distribution andsupply specialists constantly as-sess the needs of our customers,

    identifying areasof demand, moni-toring and up-grading our in-frastructure anddeveloping a plantokeephigh-qual-itywater flowing.
