know what chemicals arecontained in e-cigarettesor what the short and longterm health implicationsmight be,” said the report.

For Jack, the electroniccigarettes that come in apack and look like tradi-tional cigarettes werelacking in flavor, and hewas surprised how muchmoresatisfiedhewaswiththe personal vaporizer.

“It’s the samesensationassmokingacigarette,”hesaid. “With this, the vaporcomes right off the coil.It’s not going through a fil-ter, so you really taste it.”

Forupdatesandspecialoffers, visit the Vaping J’sFacebook page orwww.vapingjs.com.

Their daughter, Son-seeahray Caudill, and herfiance, Riley Brown, man-age the store and help cus-tomers choose from theirselection of almost 80 dif-ferent flavors.

Caudill said the mostpopular flavors are spear-mint, caramel coffee, wa-termelon, and her favor-ite, dragon’s breath — amixture of cinnamon andraspberry.

The flavors, which alsoinclude fruits, traditionaltobacco flavors and des-serts, are available atVap-ing J’s tasting bar, wherecustomers can sample a

variety to see what theylike.

“It smells great. It canreally almost serve as ahome deodorizer. Youdon’t have any more dirtyashtrays. You don’t smelllike smoke, and you’re notalways looking for a light-er,” Caudill said. “Vapingcan also be a dietary aid.Choose zero nicotine andwhatever flavor you like.Instead of eating a blue-berry muffin, vape themuffin flavor.”

Caramel coffee is thefavorite flavor of JoshuaMartin of Edgewood, whoswitched from smoking tovaping inNovember.

He has 40 different fla-vors in his kit, and likes tomatch the flavor to his ac-

tivity.“I work third shift, so

I’ll vapecaramel coffeeonmy way in,” he said. “Idon’t drinkasmuchcoffeeanymore either.”

He said he’s spendingless on vaping productsthan he was on cigaretteseachmonth.

“The actual cost is wayless than smoking, but youget to change out the fla-vors,” he said. “I’m a hugebeliever that it’s a healthyalternative. I can tell thedifference. I’m very ac-tive. I wasn’t always, butwhen I run,my enduranceis getting better and mylung capacity.”

Newport Central Catholicput together the kind of perfor-mances that win softball gamesin the postseason. Unfortunate-ly, tremendous pitching andnearly flawless defensewas notenough.

The Thoroughbreds lost twoheart-breakers, first the 36thDistrict championship to rivalHighlands then the Ninth Re-gion opener to Conner, endingthe season 18-11.

NewCath freshman pitcherHaley Meyers allowed just onehit in the season-ending loss toConner, but it was one hit toomany. The Cougars won, 2-0,ending theThoroughbreds’ sea-sonwith a two-out, two-run dou-ble, and damage-control pitch-ing. NewCath was able to tallysix hits, but could not stringthem together for a rally. Thatpainful loss followed the 36thDistrict defeat at the hands ofHighlands. The Thoroughbredsbid for a third straight districttitle fell short with a 2-1 loss atthe hands of the Bluebirds, theeventual Ninth Region champi-on. As difficult as those losseswere to swallow, it gave New-Cath a glimpse into the pro-gram’s bright future.

“This teamiscapableofbeat-ing anybody,” said head coachDenny Barnes. “I am really,really pleased with them. Theyshowed that we could play withanyone.”

The Thoroughbreds gradu-ate just two seniors,MollyMer-tle and Taylor Burkart. Theirleadership will be missed.

“Thebiggest thing I’llmiss istheir personalities,” saidBarnes. “They were just goodpeople and they cared abouttheir teammates.”

Meyers was a revelation inher first season as startingpitcher. She was helped by herteammates, especially catcher

Kristen Schreiber.“Our junior catcher really

brought her along,” saidBarnes. “She took control andtook her by the hand and led heralong.”

When she struggled orlooked like she was going to un-ravel, her veteran teammatescalmed her. By tournamenttime, Meyers was pitching withthe composure of a sophomore.With a full season under herbelt, expectations for 2015 willbe high.

“At times, she showed signsof being a freshman. The oldergirls tookherunder theirwing,”said Barnes. “She grew up a lotin the district game againstHighlands.”

The hope is that therewill bemore time and availability topractice hitting next season.TheThoroughbreds’ batting av-erage was down 60 points thisseason, said Barnes. The Ninth

Newport Central Catholic catcher Kristin Schreiber, shown making anout in a 2013 game with Highlands, was a calming influence to herteammates.FILE PHOTO

ALEXANDRIA — BishopBrossart’s softball team lost5-2 to Clark County in the 10thRegion quarterfinals lastweek. Clark scored four runsin the sixth inning to end theMustangs’ season at 20-16.Clark went on to win thechampionship at Scott HighSchool to advance to thisweekend’s state tournamentin Owensboro.

“I knew 2-1 wasn’t goodenough,” said Brossart coachTom Baynum. “Clark’s been agood team for a long time andwe know to win this region wehave to beat the 40th District;it’s just that simple. If we getthat, we go up 3-1 and maybeit’s enough, because the pres-sure is on them now andwe’resix outs away. We didn’t getthe bunts down today. Wemissed four or five opportuni-ties and didn’t get it done andthat’s what got us. We’ve doneit very well and that’s what’supsetting, because this teamusually gets it done, but wedidn’t get it done.”

Brossart loses just threeseniors off this year’s teamthough, and junior pitcherKarlie Shackelford said theexperience of the gameshould help her and her team-mates next season.

“It’s definitely a learningexperience and I think every-one knows now the game canchange on one hit, on onecatch and one pitch so maybenext we can learn from thatand come out and make it bet-ter,” she said. “I think we’rereal close and we’ll get it nextyear. We’ve got a great team.”

Brossart made greatstrides as this season pro-gressed, bouncing back froma 1-3 start to the season andwinning seven of nine gamesafter its record stood at 9-9 atone point.

“We’re so close,” said Bay-num. “We have a good nucleusand these kids battled; they al-ways do. It’s a learning curvefor the young ones and it’s atough way to end for the olderones that have to leave us to-day.”

Brossart’s seniors are AllieAnstead, Shannon Kremerand Jaimie Reis.

Shackelford posted 13 winsthis year with a 2.95 ERA. Shestruck out 83 batters and wasalso the Mustangs’ leading

CINCINNATI — You go,girls.

That’s the messagethree-time Olympic goldmedal soccer star Heath-er Mitts - a Hyde Park na-tive and St. Ursula Acad-emy graduate - hopes toget out as she partnerswith TQL Urban Race forthe She Plays, She Winsprogram.

Greater Cincinnatifemale athletes ages 13 to24 have a chance to win$1,000 in scholarshipmon-ey or uniform vouchersfor their teams throughthe new program.

“We believe it’s impor-tant tohavestrongwomenin the workplace,” Kris-tine Glenn said, spokes-woman for Total QualityLogistics, with local of-fices inMilford andUnionTownship, ClermontCounty, and WesternHills. “A lot of thosewom-en come out of a sportsbackground. This is achanceforgirls to tellpeo-plewhattheirsportsmeanto them now and how theywill benefit them in the fu-ture.”

Girls can submit a two-minute video or 500-wordessay to the TQL UrbanRace page on Facebook(www.facebook.com/ShePlaysSheWins) an-swering the question,“How have sports posi-tively impacted your lifeand how do you think theywill affect your future?”Entry deadline is June 20.

A panel of Tristatewomen business leaders

will nominate the top fiveentries in age categories13 to 15, 16 to 18 and 19 to24. The public will vote onthewinners fromJuly 8 to18.

Mitts was in the eligi-ble age range when shefirst began making aname for herself on thepitch. She was a sopho-more on SUA’s 1993 statechampionship team thatbeatWesterville North 4-1andfinished theseason21-1-2. Shewenton to theUni-versity of Florida whereshe won an NCAA titlewith the Gators overheavily favored NorthCarolina in 1998.

She played in the 2004Olympics in Athens, the2008 games inBeijing andthe 2012 London Olym-pics, winning three goldmedals along the way.

“I feel like it’s anoppor-tunity to give back,”Mittssaid. “I think it’s a verypositive thing, obviously,

for girls to have sports intheir lives.

“There are very fewfemale athleteswho are inaposition tobea rolemod-el and if I can be one ofthem, that’s great. I wantto be.”

Glenn said TQL is in-volved inseveralcharitiesrelated to youth athletics.Its annual Urban Racebenefits theRedsCommu-nity Fund and MarvinLewis Community Fund,both of which provide op-portunities for at-riskyouth in the communitythrough sports and educa-tion. She Plays, She Winsis just an extension of thatinvolvement.

Mitts is now retiredand living in Philadelphiawith her husband, formerNFL quarterback A.J.Feeley, and 3-month-oldson, Connor.

“Now that I’m retired Ihave more time to dothings like this,” she said.“I have more of a chancetogetback toCincinnati tosee family and friends.

Mitts said she stays intouchwithalotof theplay-ers from the 1993 statechampionship soccerteam from SUA. She willhost her annual soccercamp July 19 at NorthernKentucky University.

“All these teams Iplayed on and had successwith - from the statechamps, to the NCAA, tothe Olympics - the onething we had in commonwas that we were close onand off the field,” Mittssaid. “You learn a lot fromthe girls you play with ev-ery day.”

What happened is difficult toforget. It was Dec. 21, 2010,when thieves broke into Chil-dren’s Home of Northern Ken-tucky, stealing copper plumbing(resulting in the flooding of thelower level of CHNK’s admini-stration building), a TV fromthe recreation room, and Christ-mas presents intended for ourresidents.

After word of the crimespread, one of the first peopleto call us was Helen Carroll,manager of community rela-tions at Toyota. She said simply,“What can we do?”

With all the recent publicitysurrounding Toyota’s move to

Texas, I’vebeen happy tosee equal cov-erage devotedto Toyota’spositive impacton the region.Toyota is mov-ing, yes, but itsfootprint onthis region isn’tgoing any-where. Thecompany and

its employees have been a verygood neighbor to many.

For CHNK, an agency devot-ed to treating abused, neglectedand at-risk youth in both com-

munity- and residential-basedlines of care, Toyota has beenmore than a neighbor; it’s beena community partner.

Not only did Toyota presentus with amajor gift after the2010 break-in, but its employeeshave also donated new bikesand personal care items for ouryouth in residence, as well ascoordinated activities on cam-pus for them. Toyota has servedas a communications sponsorfor CHNK since 2011, and it hasbeen a long-running sponsor ofour Junior Board Charity Ball,which raises funds for our resi-dential treatment program. Inaddition, Carroll serves on our

Board of Trustees.These contributions from

Toyota help us to continue toachieve ourmission of provid-ing children and families withopportunity and hope for betterlives. When companies likeToyota invest in us, we’re ableto bring to the communityhealthier kids who can grow tobecome contributingmembersof society and healthy, lovingadults.

This life-changing work atCHNKmeans not only happierandmore fulfilled human be-ings but also fewer public fundsgoing toward unpopular itemssuch as incarceration, court

involvement, and juvenile de-tention.

Toyota and its employeestruly immersed themselves intothe fabric of the Northern Ken-tucky community while theywere here.

They will bemissed, buttheir investment in our commu-nity will bear fruit long afterthe company has relocated toits new home.

Thank you, Toyota, for build-ing bridges to better futureswith Children’s Home of North-ern Kentucky.

Rick Wurth is chief executiveofficer for Children’s Home of

Northern Kentucky.

May 29 question:Where is the best park in the

area andwhy do you think it’s atthe top of the list?

“I love Idlewild Park inBurlington. It has the No. 4ranked disc golf course in thenation: http://bit.ly/discreview.And it’s free!”

Eric Hendrix“Definitely Idlewild Park in

Burlington. So many trails andthings to do. Including thewonderful dog park my dogadores!”

Kylie Cummings“It’s hard to have one any

more. All our favorites havebeen taken over by drug users.Every time we have gone thisyear we have found needles orused condoms. Worse part iswhen you look over and yourchild says what’s this with acondom in their hand. We havedecided to stay away fromthem until they are properlycleaned and watched. The laststraw was the new park wewent to and many car windowswere broken by thieves steal-ing from them. Boone Countyis going downhill and becom-ing less safe for our kids toenjoy anything but our housesor yards.”

Danielle Marie“Railroad Depot Park in

Erlanger. Small, but appropri-ate for little ones, plus trains!There is a wooden train thekids can play on, and it’s rightnext to an active train line.”

Kristy Knight Resciniti“Best park is President’s

Park in Edgewood fun 4 every-one.”

Tammy Reinhardt Lockard“Boone Cliffs and The Dins-

more are two very terrific

parks almost adjacent to oneanother. Very clean and veryrelaxing.

John Bernard“We have many great hiking

opportunities in Boone County.We’ve hiked Dinsmore, BooneCliffs, Middle Creek and Gun-

powder. As a family with fivedifferent opinions, it’s hard topick just one, but I think ourfavorite is Boone Cliffs. Ourfavorite playground is EnglandIdlewild park. We like the dogpark there too, but the agilityequipment has fallen into dis-repair and that is disappoint-ing.”

Anna Merlo“I also agree, Boone Cliffs.

But my family does not go withany valuables in our car be-cause of the thefts and wemake sure our car doors arelocked. It’s a shame our parkshave come to this. Maybe theyneed to be patrolled.”

Consider risking yourheart for a foster child

I read with great interestRon Bertsch’s Viewpointpiece in a recent Recorder(“No Apologies, No Excuses –Children Need You”), callingfor good families to step for-ward to meet the tremendousneed for foster and adoptivefamilies.

My family is acutely awareof that need, having recentlyworked with DCCH to adoptourdaughterfromfostercare.Themostcommonreactionwegetwhenwetell ourstory is, “Icouldn’tdothat, itwouldbreakmy heart if the child had to goback.”

But while we sit back andprotect our own hearts, hun-dreds of children each monthare being abused and in needof a safe, loving family,wheth-

er for a season, or for a life-time. What will happen tothese children if we don’thelp?

I urge your readers, if youhave a heart at all, please con-sider callingDCCH to see howto get involved, whether as afoster or adoptive parent, as arespite caregiver for otherfoster families, or as amentorfor one of the children in resi-dential care.

Youdon’thave tobeperfectto be a good foster parent – farfrom it! My family is nothingspecial, but with the trainingand support we received fromDCCH, we are able to partici-pate in saving the life of achild. Please consider riskingyour heart to give hope to justone of “the least of these.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Did you know that any timea child uses a paintbrush, thatchild is bettering our commu-nity?

Why?Becausestudieshaveshown that the arts are neces-sary for a healthy, vibrant,well-developed economy; forthe development of a “wholeperson;” and for successfulschools. In recent years theconversation surrounding thearts has shifted. The arts areno longer nice, they are neces-sary.

This is the message I wantto share as our communitystarts thinking about the fu-ture of Northern Kentucky.This is themessage I hope youwill consider as you partici-pate in myNKY (www.myn-ky.org), thecommunityvision-ingcampaigncurrentlyunder-way that will help determinethe priorities for NorthernKentucky’s next strategicplan. We need to reiterate tocommunity leaders that thearts, and arts organizations,playanessential role inourre-gionmoving forward.

In Northern Kentucky, oneof those arts organizations isThe Carnegie. The Carnegiehas been operating at the cor-ner of Scott and Robbins, theheart of Covington, since the1970s. Over the years it hasevolved from a grassroots,volunteer-run organizationinto a leader andchampion forthearts inNorthernKentucky.

The growth of The Carne-gie’s programs and its com-mitment to Northern Ken-

tucky haveled to a rein-vestment ofmore than $8million intoits campus,bringing vi-brancy to anarea once ex-periencingurban decay.The Carnegieis not only in-vesting in it-

self, but in the community inwhich it resides. With thisreinvestment, the communitysurroundingTheCarnegiehasalso begun to blossom. Fromthe redevelopment of River’sEdge at Eastside Pointe toHo-tel Covington to the HellmanLumber Building. Accordingto a recent survey, on averageone-third of Carnegie patronsspendanaverageof$75diningout locally before or after aCarnegie event. Roughly 400patrons attend thegalleries ona Friday night, meaning morethan $9,000 is being spent inour community directly be-cause of the arts.

In addition to financial im-pact of the arts on the region,theartsalsoplayacritical rolein thedevelopment of ourchil-dren. Studies show involve-ment and exposure to the artsimprovescritical thinkingandcreativity, helps increase self-esteem and has a positive im-pact on student achievement.

Noah Halpin’s fish pole bentdown toward the water and thebobber disappeared beneaththe surface.

The13-year old boy had beenpatiently waiting in his wheel-chair, but now he was excited –he’d finally caught a fish. Hesmiled as volunteerChetHayesreeled in the line and swung thefish closer to him.

His mother, Mary Pat, guid-edhishandsohecouldtouchthefish with his index finger, thenthey both broke out laughing.

This wasn’t just any fishingouting for the family fromBur-

lington. Noah was competing inthe 37th annual Special Olym-pics Fishing Derby.

On May 10 about 40 partici-pants crowded around thebanks of Boone Lake in Walton.

This year’s event was spon-sored by the Fifth District Fed-eration of Kentucky Sports-men.

“We’vebeen cominghere forabout three or four years,” Ma-ry Pat Halpin said. “The volun-teers are awesome. They put ontheworms and take off the fish.We hold the pole!”

About 50 volunteers were onhand to help.

There were many prizes tobe won, including those for big-gest fish, the most caught, andmost unusual.

“Everybody gets some-thing,” said volunteer LedfordCole of Independence. Cole hasbeen with the derby from thebeginning.

There are no age limits inSpecial Olympics, organizerCindy Goetz explained. “So wehave kids and adults, from theages of 4 to 47.”

AngieReedofEdgewoodandher family have come to theevent for the past five years.“It’s a great opportunity forher,” she said as she watchedher 13-year-old daughter Cait-lin. “She lovesmeeting people.”

“It’s fun to catch fish,” Cait-lin shared.

“It gets us together,” hermother added. “And everyoneis a winner.”

Barone

Gosh, how time flies.Seems like it was justyesterday when my boyswere little and my hus-

band,Frank,answeredthis waywhen Iasked himwhat hewanted forFather’sDay.

“Nopresents,just some-

thing from the grill andsome peace and quiet.”

I have to laugh when Irecall how the food wasnever a problem, but thepeace and quiet surewas. Dad’s day is a goodtime to celebrate all thedads in your life, bothones you are related toand those you are not.And if you’re nervousabout feeding him a feastfrom the grill, here aresome basics to make youa grill master!

Grilling basics 101:Clean that grill: A

long-handled, stiff brushworks well. Use it twice:when grate is preheatedbut before the food goeson and again after you’redone cooking, while it’s

still hot.Oiling the grate: Best

to do when grill is hot.Make a small pad out of apaper towel and dip itinto oil, then rub it withlong-handled tongs overbars of grate. This alsohelps clean off debris. Ifyou want to spray, takethe grate off the grillaway from the fire. Nev-er spray oil onto grateover the fire.

Wood chips: Theseadd distinctive flavors,and should be soaked inwater about 30 minutesbefore grilling. I like tosoak chips in wine andherbs. Just drain themwell and wrap in a foilpacket. Poke holes in toponly and place among thecoals or rocks.

Have on hand: Thickgrill gloves, oven mittsor potholders, apron andtowels.

Salt it down: A box ofcoarse salt is a must tohave for sprinkling overa grease fire.

Don’t know a rub fromamop?

Rub: A “dry” mari-nade – a mixture of driedseasonings rubbed di-rectly onto surface ofmeat. Adds intense fla-vor and coating forms aseal. Let rubbed meats

stand for 30 minutesbefore cooking to allowseasonings to penetrate.

Mop: This comesfrom the tool used to dabsauce on barbecuedmeats. It looks just like alittle cotton “mop” on theend and is used insteadof a brush.

Marinade: Meats areput into seasoned liquids,which enhance flavorand tenderize. Marinadesmoisten surface of meatso it doesn’t dry out overhot coals.

Glaze: A thin type ofsauce that is usuallyglossy when brushed onfoods, sometimes during

the last five minutes ofgrilling, and the glazeremains glossy aftercooking.

Grilled steak withgarlic and thymerub

What cut to use? Flatiron is part of the chuckso it has great beefy

flavor and is almost astender as tenderloin.Originally, skirt steakwas cut to be used infajitas and has a bit morefat than the hanger orflank. Flank works wellhere too. My favoritesare flat iron and flank.Serve with a side ofgrilled thick-sliced pota-toes.

For each steak (1-1/2pounds approximately)

Combine with enougholive oil to make a pastyrub:

2 teaspoons choppedfresh thyme or 1 tea-spoon dried thyme leaves

2 teaspoons garlic1/2 teaspoon pepper

and 1 teaspoon saltFor sprinkling on

immediately after grill-ing: Romano cheese andchopped parsley

Score steak on bothsides. Rub seasoningonto steak on both sides.Let sit about 30 minutes.Place on hot grill andgrill until medium rare to

medium, turning once.Remove and sprinklewith cheese. Let rest,tented, 5 minutes or soand slice thinly againstgrain.

Chipotle butterMix together and then

roll into a log and placein refrigerator or freez-er. This is so delicious ontop of a plain grilledsteak.

1/2 cup unsalted but-ter, completely softened

Canned chipotle chil-ies in adobo, stemmed,seeded and minced – totaste

2 tablespoons limejuice

Scant teaspoon groundcumin

Salt to taste.
