In Kenton County, farmersmarkets do more than promotehealthy living -- they providean opportunity for relation-ships to grow.

Like a familyOn a recent, cool Saturday

morning the Kenton CountyCourthouse transforms into abustling market place. Patronsstroll through the booths gaz-ing at and choosing fresh,hand-picked vegetables andfruits. The IndependenceFarmers Market is open forbusiness.

“The market provides ameans for the local communityto buy fresh homegrown pro-duce and products,” said mar-ket manager Reta Vann. “You

don’t have to worry aboutwhere this produce has comefrom or what’s been put on it.What you’re getting has beenhand-picked that morning. It’sfresh and it’s quality.”

The market, open 8:30 a.m.to 1 p.m. every Saturday Maythrough October, at the court-house, 5272 Madison Pike, In-dependence, features about 10to 15 vendors each week.

Vann said it all began as aschool project at Simon KentonHigh School in 2008. The mar-ket has grown extensively, shesaid, and is now sponsored bythe city of Independence.

She said the market is morethan a place to buy produce,however, it’s a place to build re-lationships.

“My favorite thing about themarket is the communityatmosphere,” she said. “All the

vendors get along and helpeach other. We’re like one bigfamily at the market, and wetreat the customers that way,too.”

Vann said customers havebeen known to bring with thema chair and sit and chat for awhile during the market. Theyget to taste test some of themarket’s offerings, too, shesaid.

“I cook up some samplesand do some demos,” she said.“Every Saturday we have bis-cuits and gravy and breakfasttacos. We even have samples ofbacon for customer’s dogs.”

Good associationsOn a breezy, warm Thurs-

day afternoon, The DixieFarmers’ Market opens to pa-

INDEPENDENCE — Therewere times in the past four yearsthat Jacob Shields, a senior at Si-mon Kenton High School, did notknow if he would eat or where hewould sleep at the end of the day.

This past year was different,thanks to special educationteacher Kelly Cassidy, and a car-ing community.

Shields, who won the“Against All Odds Award,” giv-en by the Kentucky EducationCouncil, will graduate from Si-mon Kenton and head to Gate-way Community and TechnicalCollege to study welding. Theaward recognizes students’ suc-cess despite their challenges,”said Jess Dykes, Kenton Schoolsdirector of public Informationand Community Engagement.

“It reminds everyone howimportant an education is for thefuture of all students.”

For Shields, the award re-flects just how far he has come.He credits Cassidy and othersfor helping him get there.

Due to financial struggles,Shields’ family became home-less and were forced to live in

hotels. He lived with cousins afew times.

“It’s been hard,” he said.“There were days I didn’t knowwhere I would live or if I’d get toeat. “I kept wondering, ‘What’snext? What other thing is goingto be thrown at me.’”

Cassidy was aware of Shields’struggles along the way. Duringhis senior year, she and her fam-ily made a decision to bringShields into their home andmake him a part of their family.Cassidy, her husband and twosons, welcomed him with openarms. Shields got to sleep in awarm bed, expect to eat a warmmeal every day and enjoy stabil-ity. They saw in him determina-tion and the ability to succeed, ifgiven the chance.

“His circumstances didn’tmatter,” Cassidy said. “Jakecame to school and worked hard.He never used his circum-stances as an excuse. He alwayspassed his classes.”

The start of his senior year,was difficult, however, Shieldssaid. He was reaching a break-ing point.

“I was back living with my

PINER — Shyanne Iles’ hazeleyes relentlessly focus on hertarget.

In the Piner Elementarygymnasium her head is calm,her body poised. She pulls backon her blue bow string. Gentlyreleasing her fingers, swoosh,an arrow flies. Bulls-eye.

“That was easy,” the 11-year-old said.

Hitting the target alwaysgives the Piner fifth-grader arush, even at a practice like this.It wasn’t quite so easy during therecent National Archery in theSchools Program National Ar-

chery Tournament.“I wasn’t nervous when I

shot, but I was nervous after,waiting to hear my name calledto see if I placed,” she said.

Iles placed. In fact, sheplaced first, making her the topfemale archer in the nation inthe elementary school division.There were a total of 1,700female students competing inthe elementary division. Iles willgo on to compete in the WorldTournament in Nashville in July.

“I’m excited,” she said.“There were so many peoplethere to beat. I just tried to do mybest. My best is good for me.”

Her coach, Piner Elementaryteacher Glenn Keith said he is

proud of Iles.“She’s a great kid and excel-

lent archer,” he said. “She joinedthe archery team when she wasin the fourth grade and has comea long way. I remember herstruggling with hitting the tar-get, now it’s all bulls-eyes. Shehas been dedicated. She reallywants to be good at archery.”

Keith said the archery pro-gram at Piner is in its seventhyear and has about 45 partici-pants. Archery is good, he said,because it teaches students dis-cipline.

“What I’ve seen it do for stu-dents is calm them down,” he

INDEPENDENCE — Asimple 5K race that thegroup NKY Hates Heroinorganized, expecting afew hundred walkers orrunners, has drawn morethan 1,000 pre-registeredparticipants.

“We are very over-whelmed, in a good way,with the outcome,” saidGina Stegner, chair of theevent. “We would’ve neverin a million years guessedthat we’d have so manypeople.”

The NKYHatesHeroin-.com 5K Walk & Run is setto begin at 8:30 a.m. Satur-day with day-of registra-tion beginning at 7 a.m. atSimon Kenton HighSchool.

Be sure to park awayfrom the school in areaparking lots, said Inde-pendence Police Capt. To-ny Lucas.

“We are expecting ahuge crowd,” Lucas said.

The city of Independ-ence is hosting the race.Police officers, the depart-ment’s Explorer Post andKenton County Sheriff’sDepartment deputies willhandle traffic and crowds.

The event initially

seemed routine and “justsnowballed,” Lucas said.

“It was an easy snow-ball,” he said. “It was justpeople saying, ‘How can Ihelp?’”

More than 100 volun-teers and businesses arehelping by donating two-way radios for the event’scoordinators, water, porta-ble toilets or their pres-ence for race day. Amongthe volunteers will be 15 to20 recovering addictsfrom the Grateful LifeCenter, a rehabilitationcenter run by TransitionsInc. of Northern Ken-tucky.

Northern Kentucky hasbeen a center of the na-tionwide heroin epidemic,and Lucas has no doubtwhy there is such agroundswell of supportfor the race: “Everybodyyou talk to in the commu-nity – everybody – knowssomebody who’s beentouched by this drug.”

Including the NKYHates Heroin organiza-tion itself, an extendedfamily from Fort Thomaswho last year endured thedeath of one of their own,Nicholas Specht, who diedfrom a heroin overdoseAug. 8 behind the lockedbathroom door of his par-

ents’ home. He was 30.Within a week of

Specht’s death, the familyformed the website andFacebook page that drewhundreds of “likes.”Specht’s parents, Hollyand Eric Specht, and hisgrandparents, uncles andaunts and others speak topeople in the communityand kids at schools aboutheroin. Family membershave joined the NorthernKentucky People Advo-cating Recovery, or PAR,chapter. They’ve headedto Frankfort to fight forlegislation that would in-crease the accessibility ofnaloxone – a lifesavingdrug that blocks heroinand other opiates from

taking effect, drawingpeople from overdose tofull breathing and ulti-mately, life.

The 5K was an idea ofKim Norton, a secondcousin of Specht.

Noel Stegner, Specht’sgrandfather, said race co-ordinator Steve Prescotttold his family that 175 to200 people would be a goodfirst-year turnout.

“We thought, ‘We’re go-ing to do better than that.Probably 300 to 400,’ ”Stegner said. “Every cou-ple of days when we get acount (of pre-registeredpeople) it’s almost toomuch to believe.”

Proceeds from the racewill go toward the organi-

zation’s goals: education,prevention and recovery.Specifically, Gina Stegnersaid, the family plans pro-vide money for naloxonekits, which, at $65 each,are distributed to high-risk opiate users by asmall group of PAR volun-teers and two NorthernKentucky doctors. Theyplan to purchase meaning-ful trinkets – such asbracelets with an anti-drug message – for stu-dents to whom they speakat schools. They will cre-ate a list of resources forfamilies facing heroin ad-diction – somethingSpecht’s family never had.

He was in St. ElizabethHealthcare’s Fort Thomasemergency departmentwhen the family wonderedwhat to do if he survived.Nicholas had been in re-covery. Everyone hopedhe was on his way up.

“I remember that nightat the hospital, sitting inthe waiting room wonder-ing what was going to hap-pen,” Gina Stegner said.“It never crossed my mindthat we were going to losehim.”

A resource listwould’ve been helpful hadNicholas Specht survived,she said. NKY Hates Her-

oin plans to have the listsspread throughout thecommunity in hospitals,businesses, at treatmentcenters and wherever elsethey’re allowed to placethem. The list will includerehab facilities, servicesfor families, the factsabout Casey’s Law – theKentucky law that helpsfamilies and friends seek acourt order for treatmentfor an unwilling heroin ad-dict.

Koop said things havebeen a little slow for themarket’s farmers thisyear and that’s had an im-pact on the market, al-ready in its fourth week.The weather, of course,governs traffic as well.

“So far we’ve had onlyone day of rain, so that’sbeen good,” he said. “Butthat hasn’t stopped us.”

Koop recalls times ofgreeting patrons at theircars with an umbrella andmaking curb-side deliver-ies.

“We do what we have todo to make it work,” hesaid.

Local supportShaded by trees on the

DCCH Center’s campus onOrphanage Road in FortMitchell, the DCCH Farm-ers’ Market thrives 8:30a.m. to noon Thursdaysand 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Satur-days.

The market firstopened last year. DCCHCenter Development Co-ordinator John Carneysaid the center was ap-

trons 2-6 p.m. at ErlangerBaptist Church, 116 Com-monwealth Ave., Erlang-er.

The market has beenaround for 11 years and isoperated through theElsmere and ErlangerRenaissance program.

“It’s a loving place,”market coordinator Don

Koop said. “The people areso nice, we’re all friends.It’s a really nice group tobe associated with.”

It’s also the place toshop if you want to livehealthy, Koop said. Freshfruits and vegetables of allkinds abound at the mar-ket. Seventeen vendorshave signed up for theyear, including a new ven-dor who will offer gluten-free products.

Perhaps a bit of a depar-ture from the all-healthyenvironment surroundingit, a hot dog stand has beenadded this year.

“That’s something dif-ferent, but I felt like ourfarmers have to eat, sowhy not,” Koop said. “Hehas very good all-beef hot-dogs.”

There’s more to themarket than food. Koopsaid they also have a fewwood-working vendors

proached by local farmerswanting to rent the spaceand set up tents for theproject. Proceeds fromthe rental space benefitsthe center that has helpedNorthern Kentucky chil-dren for more than 160years.

“This is just anotherway to get the communityinvolved with us. Thisfarmers market also cre-ates a sense of communi-ty,” Carney said.

Vendor Jeannie Car-nes, who was instrumentalin the start of the farmersmarket, said the marketoffers Fort Mitchell andnearby residents an oppor-tunity to shop locally. Shesells her home-grownflowers and plants at themarket.

“It’s important to peo-ple that they shop locally,”she said. “My favoritething about the market isgetting to buy locallygrown and fresh fruits andvegetables myself. Every-thing here at the market isorganic and good for you.”

parents at the hotel andbeing hard-headed andnot going to school,” hesaid.

That all changed onceShields joined the Cassi-dy family.

“We thought we couldmake it work,” Cassidysaid. “We’re a crazy fam-ily and thought Jakewould fit right in to ourcrazy stinky boy life.”

Sitting next to eachother in a small class-room at Simon Kenton,Cassidy and Shields ap-pear almost as motherand son. The corners ofCassidy’s eyes begin tofissure above a 100-wattsmile as she rubs Shields’shoulder.

“He’s one of our kids,he does chores, he has aplace to sit at the tablewhere we eat and pray,”she said. “Our family iscrazy but it’s a family it’swhat we do.”

Simon Kenton Princi-pal John Popham saidShields is an inspiration.

“It is pretty awesometo see someone work ashard as he has be suc-cessful,” Popham said.“Hopefully students inthe future can use this asan example of how to per-severe when thingsaren’t going their way.”

Shields gives credit tothose around him.

“I had people whowere behind me. Peoplewho believed in me whenI didn’t believe in my-self,” he said, looking tohis left at Cassidy.

“She changed mylife,” he said.

Popham said having ateacher like Cassidy on

staff is “amazing.”“She is an excellent

teacher who cares aboutall her students,” he said.“She cares about stu-dents and about the suc-cess of Simon Kenton.Not that our other teach-ers don’t, but Kelly iswilling to go above andbeyond.”

Popham said whatCassidy and her familyhas done for Shields is in-dicative of her passionfor others. “She wantseveryone around her tohave an opportunity to besuccessful,” he said.

“Kelly doesn’t adver-tise it,” he said. “Shedoesn’t draw attention toit which I think makes itthat much more special.She did this because shewanted to, not because itwould make her lookgood.”

For her and her fam-ily Cassidy said it justcomes natural to care forthose who need it themost.

“My husband and Iboth grew up without.When you grow up with-out anything, you appre-ciate everything,” shesaid. “I feel like this hasall changed our familyfor the better. It’s been alearning experience forall of us, especially forour sons. They’ve seenfirst hand through thisthat this is what life isabout, using what youhave to help others. Youcan make a difference.”

Cassidy said welcom-ing Shields into the fam-ily was not just a fleetingeffort, but a long-termdeal. “Well, I should say,we are his family for aslong as he’ll have us,” shesaid.

“It’s forever,” Shieldsadded.

said. “They have to learnto control their thoughtsand movement. It helpsthem be calm and aware ofwhat they are doing. Ar-chery helps students stayfocused.”

Iles said she’s learned alot during her time at ar-chery practice, which isheld every Monday andWednesday. She enjoysthe sport because it’s anart she can perfect.

“I like archery becausewhen you shoot you’re do-ing the same thing everytime, pulling back andaiming,” she said. “If youmess up, you can easily goback and fix what you’redoing.”

She’s confident in heraim, but she said she stillgets nervous sometimesand forgets to breathe.

“Breathing is an impor-tant part of it,” she said. “Ising a song in my head so Ialways release at the samepoint. I sing the Cups song(’When I’m Gone’) by An-na Kendrick.”

BURLINGTON — “O, had I but followed the arts!”Act 1, Scene 3 of “Twelfth Night” gives us this

memorable line. But members of a teen Shake-speare society certainly don’t share this regret.

The Lively Shakespeare Company, made up ofhome-school students from Boone and Grant coun-ties, performed “Twelfth Night” to an audience of70 people May 9 at the main branch of the BooneCounty Public Library in Burlington.

The play was a culmination of two semester’sstudy of the Bard of Avon by students aged 10 to 17.

“They spend the first few months of the year inacting games, learning to become familiar withShakespeare’s work, but even more becoming com-fortable on the stage in front of others,” saidHeather Schader Tenney, assistant director of“Twelfth Night” and a home-school mother of two.

“They had a recital of his sonnets in December.Then in January we pick a play. They audition andlearn their roles,” said Tenney, also a part-timephotographer and marketer.

The name of the group comes from founderCarlotta Lively, who home schools her nine chil-dren.

“The group has had many formations over theyears. This current version formed in 2014,” Ten-ney said.

“The goal is to help the students become famil-iar with Shakespeare, and discover that his worksare not just some stuffy old words, but in fact arerich, dynamic and alive even today,” said Tenney,who like Lively lives in the Oakbrook subdivisionin Boone County.

“They all learn – without us really decoding itfor them – what his words mean, that these areeveryday characters like we find in our own life.”

Asked about the colorful costumes used in“Twelfth Night,” Tenney said Lively has collectedcostumes over the last nine years. “There weretrunks and trunks of them.”

The Lively Shakespeare Company will take abreak during the summer. Then it picks back up inthe fall. Nothing is set in stone as far as futureproductions, but next year’s play is sure to havehumor.

“We keep to comedies,” Tenney said. “Teens lovethem.”

When I was a young mother, my mom, Mary Nader,would try to teach me how to cook our traditionalLebanese food. I say “try” because it didn’t come easyto me. Mom never measured - she said her handswere the best utensils. Ring a bell with any of you? I

bet it does, especially when you makethose heirloom recipes handed downfor generations. And I’m still learning.

My dear friends, Joe and MarylouZarick, Mason readers, have had me intheir kitchen making Lebanese breadand sfeehah, bread stuffed with meatand seasonings.

I can now say my Lebanese food isdelicious, and yes, I use my hands formeasuring and mixing. My familyloves the food, and laughs when I sayMom’s was still better.

One dish we make is our yogurt dip, with Laban/homemade yogurt, along with cucumber, mint andgarlic. Now making this dip with homemade yogurtresults in a pretty loose mixture, even when I strainthe yogurt overnight. I wanted to serve a thicker

version of this in a Lebanese class I taught and KayHitzler came to the rescue.

Kay, a West Side reader, and I have been cookingbuddies for years. We first met at Jungle Jims andimmediately connected when she was my sous chef.Kay is a skilled, compassionate nurse by day and apassionate, talented foodie by night. I can’t tell youhow many good recipes she, along with her mom,Jean Shirley, have given me. Kay’s Tzatziki sauce isthe best. She has been sharing it with friends andfamily for years. It goes with so many summer dish-es, from salmon to chicken to crudités.

lifting a finger. Stop by the Lebanese Mahrajan festi-val and enjoy the abundance of authentic homemadeLebanese food. I’m getting hungry now just thinkingabout kibbee, shish kebabs, salads, breads, greenbeans with tomatoes, and, of course, all those sinfulpastries…

Middle Eastern fare gets dippyKay Hitzler’s Tzatziki/yogurt cucumber dip

You can buy Greek yogurt already strained. Greekyogurt is thicker than regular and contains more protein.The garlic and olive oil are good for your heart, the vitaminC in the lemon helps your immune system and helps detox-ify your liver, and the mint is high in fiber and good fordigestion.

1 English or regular large cucumber, peeled if desired,seeded, shredded

Salt1-1/2 cups whole milk Greek yogurt, strained1 clove garlic, minced or more to taste2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil1 tablespoon lemon juice1/4 cup chopped fresh mintSalt to taste

Place cucumber in strainer over a bowl and sprinklewith a little salt and let stand for 15 minutes. Meanwhile,place yogurt in a strainer and let drain for 15 minutes, thendiscard liquid. Squeeze the cucumber in a towel to removeas much liquid as possible. Mix everything together.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen: Remove seeds from cucumberCut in half longways and take a small spoon and run

it down the center, scooping up seeds as you go.

Rita’s hummusI may as well go full tilt here and share another Mid-

dle Eastern favorite. It’s one of my most requested whichI’ve shared with you before. For Jennifer, an Eastside read-er. “Store bought hummus is way too expensive”, she said.Better than anything you can buy and a lot less costly. LittleEmerson, my granddaughter, loves hummus.If too thick,add a little water.

1 can, 15 oz, chick peas, drained, rinsed and drained1 teaspoon minced garlicLemon juice, olive oil and Tahini (ground sesame seed

“paste”) to taste - start with 3 tablespoons and gofrom there

I thought golfer liabilitywould be an interesting andhelpful topic consideringthat most golfers have al-most been hit by a golf ballor almost hit someone elsewith a golf shot.

To my surprise, whileresearching this issue I dis-covered that there were very

few publishedcourt deci-sions con-cerning per-sonal injuryfrom errantgolf balls.

A 1932 caseout of Jef-ferson Countydealt with acaddy thatsuffered seri-ous and per-manent head,

nervous system, other bodilyinjury and resulting in epi-leptic fits after being struckin the head by a tee shotfrom one of the foursomethat he and three others werecaddies for. The caddieswere standing to the leftbetween the tee box and thegreen watching the drives ofthe four players when theone player hooked his driveinto the caddies. The othercaddies ducked and were nothit. The player who hit theball did not yell “Fore” towarn the caddies becausethey were already watchinghis drive and he assumed allthe caddies saw the ball com-ing toward them.

The court dismissed thecase and found that the play-er was not responsible towarn the caddy by yelling“Fore” because the caddyalready knew the player washitting his drive and was infact watching the drive.

However, in another casea golfer was held liable to acaddy for another foursomethat suffered serious headinjuries when struck by adrive that sliced into the nextfairway. That court held thatthe player was under a dutyto warn the caddy and hadfailed to do so by not hol-lering “Fore” or giving someother warning.

In a 1965 case reported outof Lexington, a jury awarded$25,000 against the Lexing-ton Country Club, but noth-ing against the driver of agolf ball, after a lady wasstruck while a passenger inan automobile crossing afairway and road leading tothe country club. The injuredperson lost an eye whenstruck by the golf ball. Thecourt felt that the countryclub should have providedsome warnings to automo-biles or taken some otherprecautions to try to protectautomobile passengers driv-ing through the golf course.

The above-noted casesand others basically indicatethat personal injury situa-tions from golf balls aregoverned by ordinary negli-

gence principles. Negligenceis considered a breach of aduty owed to another personby reason of a relationshipexisting or the circum-stances presented. The driv-er of a golf ball has a duty toexercise ordinary care forthe safety of persons reason-ably within his range of dan-ger. Also, the driver of a golfball must give notice to thosedangerously situated whoare unaware of his intentionto drive the ball.

Applying those principlesto us everyday golf hackers,certainly when driving theball from the tee, a playershould make sure that every-one that could be struck bythe tee shot around the teebox is warned in case theplayer toes or heels a ball.Also, a player must yell“Fore” or otherwise warnanyone in the path of the ballafter it is hit. This wouldcertainly include those inyour own fairway or adjoin-ing fairways If you hit anerrant ball and are not sure ifsomeone is located whereyou hit the ball, it is certainlybetter practice to yell “Fore”than not yell and have some-one injured.

Many golf courses have“blind tee shots” where theplayer cannot see whetherthe foursome in front hasproceeded far enough to beout of danger. It is the re-sponsibility of the playerdriving the ball to make surethat the other players are outof range before hitting theball. Some courses have bellsor other warning deviceswhereby players can signalthe golfers behind them thatthey have cleared the area. Ifthere is no such warningdevice, the player must makesure that the group in frontof them has cleared the fair-way either by waiting anadditional period of time ordriving up to look and makesure that the fairway is clear.

As mentioned above, agolfer is not negligent be-cause of hitting a bad shot,but can be held negligent ifother players, caddies, orpedestrians are not warnedof the bad shot.

Also, if a person is playinggolf while drunk and notplaying according to accept-ed golf rules or in accord-ance with normal methods ofmaking a shot, he could befound negligent for the badshot itself as well as for anyfailure to warn of the badshot.

I hope this information isinteresting and helpful. Ifyou have any topics youwould like to have covered inthis column, please contactmy office by e-mail at [email protected], byphone at 491-7700 or by reg-ular mail addressed to 319York St., Newport, KY 41071.

Health benefits are tough tocome by at small businesses,according to a new report fromthe Kaiser Family Foundation.

Less than half of employerswith three to nine workersoffer health insurance. Con-versely, nearly all firms with1,000 or more employees offersome type of coverage to atleast a portion of their workers.

Small firms that don’t offerhealth benefits could be mak-ing a strategic mistake. Provid-ing insurance is one of the mosteffective, economical ways foremployers to support thehealth of their workers – and toretain them, too. Even better,small businesses have morecoverage options available tothem than ever before – in-cluding some new ones createdby the Affordable Care Act.

Employer-based coverageoffers several key advantagesto both firms and workers.

For starters, premiumscovered by employers aretax-deductible, and employerpayments toward coverage arenot considered taxable incometo employees. Individuals don’tget the same tax benefits pay-ing for insurance themselves.

That tax exemption cuts theprice of insurance for employ-ers by up to 40 percent. Thatallows businesses to providemore generous coverage thanindividual workers might beable to secure on their own.

Employer-sponsored cov-erage is also less expensive toadminister. According to theNational Bureau of EconomicResearch, the administrative

load for em-ployer-spon-sored insur-ance is halfthat for indi-vidually pur-chased pol-icies.

Thatshouldn’t besurprising.After all, it’seasier for in-surers – as

well as agents and brokers – towork with one business-ownerrepresenting eight staffersthan to service eight peopleindividually.

Most importantly, for manyAmericans, the mere act ofchoosing an insurance plan ischallenging. Indeed, a recentstudy published in the journalHealth Affairs reported that“more than 60 percent of thosetargeted by the health insur-ance exchanges struggle withunderstanding key health in-surance concepts.”

Employers usually workwith agents and brokers to findcoverage for their employees.In most states, a broad range ofcoverage is available to em-ployers of all sizes.

The Affordable Care Actalso created another way forsmall businesses to securehealth coverage for their work-ers – the Small Business HealthOptions Program. Firms with50 or fewer employees canselect from among severalhealth plan options. They cansign up at any time during theyear. Businesses with 25 or

fewer employees can qualifyfor tax credits that cover asmuch as half of their insurancetab if they purchase coveragethrough the SHOP program.

SHOP’s online system allowsemployers to choose how muchto contribute to worker premi-ums and what level of coverageto offer. Features like dentalinsurance and dependent cov-erage are optional.

In some states, employerswill have the option to offercoverage that will allow em-ployees to select from severaldifferent insurance plans.Starting this year, workers in14 states will be able to choosetheir insurance provider.

Fortunately, whether em-ployers want to explore theiroptions through SHOP or otheroptions for coverage, they canturn to licensed agents andbrokers to help them with cov-erage options, manage theenrollment process for them,and serve as their expert bene-fits counsel throughout the lifeof the insurance policy.

In fact, HealthCare.gov’sSHOP exchange allows smallbusinesses to search for agentsdirectly on the website, or theycan find someone in their areaon the NAHU website atwww.nahu.org.

There’s no better time foremployers to explore the op-tions available to them foroffering coverage than now.

Over the last four months,there has unfortunately been arenewed effort to breathe lifeinto a proposal that most econ-omists declared dead long ago.Supporters call it “right towork;” the rest of us, with thefacts on our side, call it “rightto work for less.”

Those backing the conceptclaim it will cure everythingbut the common cold. Not em-bracing it, they say, has costKentucky countless jobs andlimited worker choice.

They’re wrong on bothcounts.

For those unsure of whatright to work means, it allowsnew workers to avoid joining aunion and paying dues whilestill being represented by theunion. Imagine trying to join acivic club, a country club oreven a Sam’s Club withoutpaying the membership fees,and you can better understandwhy this is not about choice;it’s about ending unions andorganized labor.

Supporters of “right towork” say states taking thisstep have seen phenomenaleconomic growth when com-pared to states like Kentucky.Research, however, has foundthat this is simply not true.

The Kentucky Center forEconomic Policy noted thatOklahoma actually saw a rela-tive decline in jobs after itmade the switch in 2001. Sincethe end of the recession, mean-while, the center says Ken-tucky’s manufacturing gains

have easilyoutpaced thosein Indiana –whichswitched toright to workin 2012 – andTennessee,which hasbeen a right-to-work statesince the1940s.

It’s worthpointing out that Kentucky hasa diverse workforce profile. Inthe auto industry, for example,the Ford and GM assemblyplants in Louisville and Bowl-ing Green are unionized, butToyota’s in Georgetown is not.

Those who downplay Ken-tucky’s job prospects must nothave been paying attention tothe steady stream of goodnews the Beshear administra-tion and other outlets haveannounced in recent years. Inthe last few weeks alone, welearned that every single coun-ty saw its unemployment ratedecline last year, somethingthat has never happened be-fore. At the same time, ourmonthly unemployment ratehas dipped below the nationalaverage and is at its lowestpoint in nearly 14 years.

We have added almost36,000 new jobs over the last 12months, and Site Selectionmagazine – a trade publicationmonitoring economic devel-opment – says no state hadmore major job announce-

ments per capita last year thanKentucky.

Few, if any, states canmatch our export growth. Ourmanufacturers are on track tobreak the $30 billion mark inthe not-too-distant future,while products stamped “Madein Kentucky” can now be foundin nearly 200 countries. Otherstates trail us as well when itcomes to business climate andentrepreneurship.

What “right-to-work” sup-porters neglect to tell Kentuck-ians is that this step harmsmore than just unions. A na-tional study cited by the Ken-tucky Center for EconomicPolicy found that the averageworker’s hourly wage in “rightto work” states is 3.2 percentlower than in states like Ken-tucky, and benefits are loweras well.

If those backing “right towork” would put even half oftheir energy into pursuingpolicies businesses really wantand need – such as investingmore in education, workforcedevelopment and infrastruc-ture – I am convinced the gainsI mentioned would be evengreater.

If they are not going workfor true job growth in ourstate, though, then they at leastneed to stop promoting a tiredand discredited idea. The ver-dict is in: “right to work” iswrong for Kentucky.

RESULTS

Even though he knows hissenior standout Sean Lawrenceis a clutch performer, SimonKenton head baseball coachTroy Roberts worries about hisbatters slacking off when Law-rence is on the mound.

The Pioneer hitters had agood excuse for not performingfor most of the game Monday,but Lawrence proved again hecould handle those situations by

outdueling one of the state’s toppitchers and leading the SimonKenton baseball team to a 4-0win over Oldham County Mon-day in an Eighth Region quar-terfinal in Shelby County. ThePioneers (18-14) were set to playCollins (21-11) 6:30 p.m. Tuesdayin the semifinals at ShelbyCounty High School, after dead-line.

Lawrence pitched a com-plete game, giving up six hitsand striking out six, which allcame in the last 10 outs. No bat-

ter reached third base againsthim and only two Colonels got tosecond.

“He was getting stronger asthe game went on,” said Rob-erts. “Being our leader and No. 1pitcher, we expect those perfor-mances from him. We can’t goout and expect one or two runsto win every time, but he doesn’tseem to disappoint us. He givesus quality innings and gets guysout.”

Oldham sent junior GriffinMcLarty to the mound, who had

an 8-1 record and was a keypitcher when he and his neigh-bors played in the 2011 LittleLeague World Series. Monday,he shut down the Pioneers onone hit through the first four in-nings. In the fifth, senior NickAbell singled, and after a hitfrom senior Cole Murray, Abelleventually was thrown out atthe plate.

DEATHS


Beautiful summerweather triggers the sea-son of itchy mosquito andchigger bites for many.Jerry Tolbert, M.D., TheChrist Hospital Physi-cians – Primary Care rec-ommends following thesetips to prevent the peskybites:

1. Insect repellent.Bug spray containingDEET, or N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide, should

repel both mosquitos andchiggers. Spray exposedskin as well as clothing forfull protection. Make surenot to get the repellent inyour eyes, nose or mouth.Adults should apply toyoung children to help en-sure that they are not in-gesting the spray. Makesure to reapply every cou-ple of hours.

Avoid chigger andmosquito bites

See BITES, Page 8B


2. Grab a fan. Yes afan. A few years ago TheNew York Times pub-lished an article about us-ing fans to repel mosqui-tos naturally. Mosquitoshave a light touch and aredifficult to detect whenbiting, but they are alsoweak fliers. A fan not onlycreates a wind obstaclefor the mosquito, but dis-perses the carbon dioxidethat we exhale, whichmosquitos use to track usdown.

3. Cover up. Wearinglong sleeves and pantswill help prevent mosqui-tos from getting to yourskin. Wearing pants thatyou tuck into your shoes

will prevent chiggersfrom reaching your skinwhen they spring fromtall grass and onto yourbody.

4. Choose your fab-rics. Loose-fitting buttightly-woven fabrics arebest for preventing bites.Chiggers are so small thatthey cannot be easily seenby the naked eye and theycan also squeeze throughthin, loosely-woven fab-rics. On the other hand,mosquitoes are some-times able to bite throughclothes that are tightagainst the skin. So,choose loose-fitting buttightly-woven fabrics torepel these pests.

5. Stay out of theirhome. By avoiding mos-quito and chigger-rich en-vironments you may alsobe able to protect your-

self. If you’re hiking, stayon the trail. Chiggerscling to high plants andjump onto passing ani-mals, if you stay on thetrail you may bypass themall together. Avoid stand-ing water where mosqui-tos lay their eggs. Theytend to stick close to thearea where they breed soby avoiding these areasyou may avoid the mos-quitos altogether.
