ERLANGER SCOFFS AT MERGED DISPATCH CENTER
The City of Erlanger is not anxious to join the City of Covington and other in the new consolidated Kenton County 911 emergency dispatch center:
“The bottom line is this, this is Erlanger’s position on dispatch. Erlanger will continue to dispatch its emergency services, and those who are partner cities that choose to remain for as long as it is economically possible,” (Erlanger Mayor Tom) Rouse said. “If and when the new system becomes as good as our system and as efficient with the money, we will consider joining. And that’s been our position all along.”

MAN CHARGED IN KIDNAPPING WANTS TO DUMP COVINGTON LAWYER
A guy accused of abducting a shopper at the Crestview Hills Town Center last year says he can't get along with his attorney:
Joseph Weir interrupted his own competency hearing Tuesday in federal court by raising his left hand, showing off a blue-colored cast decorated with a UK logo, and asked that lawyer F. Dennis Alerding be removed.
“Trying to have a conversation with Mr. Alerding just doesn’t seem possible,” Weir said. “I don’t feel like I’m being represented in a serious manner.”
Weir gave U.S. Magistrate Judge Candace Smith a list of grievances that included allegations Alerding cursed and told him, “If you don’t like me, why don’t you just fire me.”

HISTORICAL MARKER TO HONOR BLACK SETTLEMENT OF STONETOWN
A new historical marker will go up in Scott County:
The Kentucky Historical Society (KHS) will dedicate a historical marker to honor the African-American settlement of Stonetown at 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 9, at 176 Stonetown Road in Stamping Ground.

In the 1780s, slaves were brought to Scott County with their white owners as part of the “traveling church,” a Baptist exodus from Virginia. After the Civil War, they purchased land and settled in Stonetown. The community had a school and two churches, one of which, the First Baptist Church, is still open today. In 1877, many former slaves moved farther west to newly formed Nicodemus, Kan.

This marker dedication is part of a weekend-long celebration of the 135th anniversary of that migration from Kentucky to Kansas. Descendants of those early settlers; Angela Bates, executive director of the Nicodemus Historical Society; and Kent Whitworth, executive director of the Kentucky Historical Society, will be in attendance.

CONVICTED: MUGSHOT ROUND-UP 27 AUGUST


THE RIVER CITY NEWS MORE COVINGTON NEWS THAN ANY OTHER SOURCE
| 
|
In this week's edition of the Mugshot Round-Up, The River City News spoke with the author of This Week in Kenton County Court, Kenton Co. Commonwealth's Attorney Rob Sanders. He will now offer more elaborate explanation about some of the issues presented in his weekly newsletter and you can read his answers right here at RCN. 
|
RCN: Every week there are multiple convictions related to heroin. Is this drug growing in use in the county? What does that mean for the community?
|
SANDERS: Heroin is a plague. It has taken over the drug scene in just a couple years and the problem is still growing. What many folks don't realize is almost every Burglary, Forged Instrument, Theft, and Receiving Stolen Property case is the newsletter is a heroin addict trying to get money for drugs. It all starts with pain pills which are easy to get (legally or illegally) but expensive. Heroin is very cheap. When pill addicts run out of cash, they start shooting or snorting heroin. I could go on for hours about heroin but, in short, there's only 2 ways off heroin: death or prison.
|
RCN: These folks who are listed under the "Failure to Appear" header, what kind of extra trouble are they going to be in?
|
SANDERS: If the defendant had notice of their court date and failed to appear, they can be charged with Bailjumping which is a D felony carrying an additional 1-5 years.
|
RCN: What's up with the mugshots of a brick wall?
|
SANDERS: We use the brick wall when there is no photo of the defendant. We get our mugshots off http://www.jailtracker.com/kncdc/kenton_inmatelist.html but some defendants are not on there either because they were never booked into the jail, or just a computer glitch. Originally I used a cartoon inmate with "No Photo Available" printed over it but then came across an empty photo of the brick wall one day and found it more amusing. This is easily the most common question about the newsletter.
|
And now, let's take a look at who's going to prison, who got probation, and who's on the loose...
The following is part of a long list of individuals convicted this week in Kenton County Circuit Court for crimes ranging from burglaries and robberies to drugs and child pornography and more.

FIRE ISSUES CLOSE ANOTHER COVINGTON PARK
Just months after fire partially destroyed and closed the playground at Sixth District School, another Covington park has been removed. Father Henry Hanses Park in Lewisburg is no more. "The playground was removed to address the neighborhood's concerns regarding the safety and condition of Father Hanses Park," said Natalie Garnder, Covington's director of parks and recreation. "There have been a few fires started on the play equipment over the years and we removed the damaged play equipment and are currently searching for a more fire-resistant alternative."

The park was named for a long-time pastor at nearby Saint John Catholic Church.

ENERGY EFFICIENT DEVICES SAVE COVINGTON MORE THAN $500,000
City Commissioner Sherry Carran shared this news via Facebook:
Last Thursday I was part of a panel discussion on 'Financing Facility Improvements through Energy Savings' held at the Governor's Local Issues Conference in Louisville. I was asked to attend by Department of Local Governments to represent an elected official's perspective. Besides Covington's Engineering Department making significant improvements to our lighting, and heating & cooling equipment by switching to energy efficient devices, I emphasized the financial savings were double what was expected. From Jan. 2009 to Dec. 2011 Covington saved almost $530,000. Those savings are significant and appreciated, especially when it is getting harder and harder to balance budgets.

KENTON CO ADDED TO FEDERAL DISASTER AREA LIST 
Kenton is now among the 116 of Kentucky's 120 counties declared a disaster area due to a drought. Governor Steve Beshear said he heard from The United States Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack Monday. “We are pleased that Sec. Vilsack has issued this disaster designation for the benefit of additional farm families in Kentucky. While some areas have seen rain in recent weeks, it did not arrive in time to mitigate agricultural losses in these counties,” said Gov. Beshear in a news release. “The widespread impact this drought has had on the Commonwealth can be seen in that 97 percent of the state is covered by a disaster designation. I appreciate Sec. Vilsack’s continued support of our farm families.” Only Bell, Harlan, Lee, and Perry Counties in eastern Kentucky are not currently listed among those severely affected by drought.

GET READY MAINSTRASSE -- HERE COMES POPEYE'S!
Covington's urban design review board Monday afternoon approved plans for a Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen to open at Fifth and Main Streets where a Skyline Chili most recently failed. 3 Panther, LLC will invest $400,000 in the property transforming the structure into a typical Popeye's design and may also do some work on the parking lot. Owner Jim Moehring, of Ludlow, also owns five other Popeye's locations in Greater Cincinnati and the Holy Grail Tavern & Grill which has two Cincinnati locations, one at the Banks and the original in Corryville. 
|
Though multiple other fast food outlets have failed at the Fifth & Main locations, Moehring believes Popeye's can succeed, telling The River City News that while the limited parking lot may be a challenge his dedication to customer service should lead to a winning formula. Moehring, a Ludlow resident, said he looked at the location for two years before finally jumping on the opportunity. 
What the Popeye's will look like
The building will be repainted a mustard yellow with dark red trip and mocha brown on the lower wainscoting. The awnings will be removed while a parapet and balcony will be added. Decorative shutters in a closed fashion will be added as well. Moehring is unsure what he will do with the sign that sits directly at the Fifth & Main corner, but said that he is not a fan of it.

Bishop's Mansion/Walgreen's issue returns to UDRB next month
The controversial plans to tear down what has been called the Bishop's Mansion across from the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption and replace it with a Walgreen's returns to the urban design review board next month. One sticking point that remains is the plan to place a drive-thru route on the Madison Avenue side instead of the Martin Luther King Boulevard side.

PARTY SOURCE TO APPEAL GROCERY LIQUOR SALES RULING
The Party Source in Bellevue is not happy that grocery stores in Kentucky will soon be allowed to sell liquor:
Ken Handmaker, who represents The Party Source of Bellevue, declined to offer any grounds for the appeal until U.S. District Judge John G. Heyburn II issues his final order, which is expected Tuesday. In a conference Monday with attorneys in the case, Heyburn said he’ll enter his final order Tuesday, but hold off enforcement for 15 days. That would give the state or Party Source time to file a motion to keep his ruling on hold even longer until the appeal is decided.

YOUTH PASTOR SENTENCED FOR SEXUAL ABUSE OF BOY
The full story behind the arrest, conviction, and sentencing of Jason Cline who sexually abused a 13-year old boy while serving as a youth leader at a local church, via Kenton County Commonwealth's Attorney Rob Sanders:
Jason Cline
On September 1, 2011, an employee of Community Family Church in Independence observed Jason Cline touching a 13 year old boy. The touching was not sexual at the time but obviously inappropriate. The employee reported the observation to the boy's mother. The mother became angry, called Cline, and demanded that he stay away from her son. After the call from the boy's irate mother, Cline began calling and text messaging other members of the church and made admissions to inappropriate sexual contact with the boy. The boys parents contacted church leaders and a meeting was held the next day. After the meeting, the church's pastor notified Cline that he was being removed as a Youth Leader and was no longer welcome at the church. During the meeting Cline admitted he "relieved the juvenile on several occasions" in an apparent reference to providing manual sexual gratification.
The boys parents also contacted Kenton County Police. Detective Rob Scroggin was assigned to investigate the case and began collecting statements, text messages, and emails from the various witnesses with whom Cline had communicated. Originally the victim downplayed the extent of the abuse to his parents. When interviewed at the NKY Children's Advocacy Center, however, the boy disclosed seven incidents of abuse during the months of July and August, 2011. When Detective Scroggin went looking for the suspect, Cline was nowhere to be found in NKY and reportedly hiding in Ohio. On September 15, 2011, Scroggin sought and received a warrant for Cline's arrest, charging him with 1st Degree Sexual Abuse. Cline was subsequently arrested and returned to Kenton County. Cline was then indicted by the Kenton County Grand Jury for 7 counts of the same offense for the sequence of events with the same child victim.
The case was called for trial before Kenton Circuit Judge Patricia Summe on August 15, 2012. Asst. Commonwealth's Attorney Megan Mersch presented testimony and evidence from Detective Scroggin, the juvenile victim, the victim's mother, the church pastor, and three additional church employees to whom the defendant made admissions. A representative of Cricket mobile phones was also flown to Kentucky to testify to the authenticity of the text message admissions found in the Defendant's phone records. Cline took the stand in his own defense and claimed he only provided "sports massages" to the 13 year old and that any witness who got the idea things were sexual was mistaken.
At the conclusion of the two day trial, jurors took just over an hour to convict Cline as charged on all counts. At the sentencing phase of the trial, Cline faced 1 to 20 years in prison. Jurors took about 2 hours to decide Cline should go to prison for 15 years. Cline must also register as a sexual offender and be subjected to numerous restrictions upon his release from prison. Formal, final sentencing will take place in September.

ATTORNEY REACTS TO SCHOOL BOARD SPECIAL ELECTION DEMAND
First, check out Tuesday's exclusive coverage of this story: Crowded Field to Seek 3 Seats on Covington School Board 
|
Brandon Voleker, the attorney representing Mark Young in his quest to put a special election on November's ballot to fill the vacant seat on the Covington School Board, had this to say about the events:
Mr. Young has retained me to have the Clerk accept his nominating petition for the unexpired term of Denise Varney, who resigned August 2, 2012, mandating a special election this year. I have called County Attorney Garry Edmondson and advised of the clerk's refusal to accept the petition, but Mr. Young did file nonetheless, leaving his petition and filing fee with the clerk. I am unsure why Covington did not advise of the special election for the unexpired term, other than to not allow the electorate to have a vote.
School Board candidate Everett Dameron, who is running in the regularly scheduled election for one of three open seats, also weighed in with a similar charge that the district misled the public:
This entire matter that Mr. Young has brought up is very interesting. I made an inquiry about a special election for the seat vacated by Mrs.Varney by phone to the Kentucky Department of Education legal department and in person at the Kenton County Clerk's office on Thursday August 9th and I was told by both that there would not be a special election. At the school board meeting held that evening, in response to a question regarding the vacant seat by a member of the public (Superintendent) Mrs. (Lynda) Jackson said that the position would be filled by appointment by the Commissioner of Education and there would be a legal ad in the paper on the next day. That ad was run as stated in the Kentucky Enquirer, giving notice that the appointment would be made by the Commissioner of Education and that applications would be accepted until August 24, 2012. Thus I and others were misinformed and denied the opportunity to file for the special election for the vacant seat.
A request for comment from the Covington School Board's attorney, Mary Ann Stewart, has been made.

CURRENT COMMISSIONER IN ONLINE SCUFFLE WITH FORMER COMMISSIONER
One of the most entertaining websites in all the land is the Facebook page of Covington City Commissioner Steve Frank who enjoys a lengthy comment thread from time to time. Over the weekend, Frank stirred up some heated debate by posting a photo of the fire department's response to a small fire in Wallace Woods. "8 pieces of apparatus, big emergency?," Frank wrote as the caption. Then Covington firefighters and Commissioner Frank engaged in another one of their online back-and-forths, but things took a fresher turn when Kenton County Commonwealth's Attorney Rob Sanders, a former Covington City Commissioner, weighed in:
Before making judgements about the response, you have to know how the call was dispatched. What it turned out to be is really beside the point. If it was dispatched as a house fire, you need that many trucks to get enough firefighters to the scene since Cov only staffs 1-3 firefighters per truck. Did it turn out to be overkill? Maybe, but the dispatchers control it, not the firefighters. The expenses are in the trucks, which are already purchased, and the firefighters, who are paid by the hour, not per run. Argue budgets all you want but give CFD some credit for being professionals. They were still protecting the rest of the city. I'm sure if another emergency arose all but one truck would leave this call and go to the next. Do we really need them to hurry back to the station to wait for the next call?! If they did that everyone would just complain that they don't do any work and spend all day in the recliners.
Now, the thread continues, four days after it originally started. Frank charged at Sanders:
Rob, we are simply talking past one another. If you had done your job properly while on city Commission, we wouldn't be facing the problems we have. Now the adults have to clean up the mess. Frankly, I do learn by asking pointed questions.Sometimes I even change my mind. Right now, what i am gathering from this and other interactions is that one department in the City can't handle any criticism and resists rather than embraces any change. Well i can tell you that its not just me. Right now its 5-0 for change on the commission.
Sanders replied:
So now you resort to insulting my service on Commission. Not surprised. I'm not the least bit ashamed of my service. Did we fix the whole city? Obviously not. I served one term. How many have you served? Is the city fixed yet?! Obviously not. I guess you're just as big of a failure as I was. So much for "the adults cleaning up the mess."

When Zach removes his hat, one student looks at him, puzzled.

TWO SURVEYS FOR FOLKS IN LATONIA
First, the West Latonia Neighborhood Association:
It has been 5 years since the West Latonia Neighborhood Association (WLNA) was established and at that time attendees to the meetings were asked to complete two (2) questionnaires describing what they felt were 1) Issues and/or Problems in the neighborhood; and 2) list Goals or Positive Ideas/Items for or about the neighborhood. This was done to help guide the initial activities of the association in order to be effective and represent the concerns of the residents. At this 5-year point, we felt that it would be appropriate to ask our neighbors to complete this process again to make sure that we were proceeding the way that West Latonia residents felt would best serve their needs and interests.
The Executive Committee of the West Latonia Neighborhood Association would appreciate it if you would consider taking a few minutes to either complete this process for the first time or repeat it if you were among those who helped us get started 5 years ago. Some additional questions are asked in this survey in order that we may try to be more purposeful in our efforts.
For the survey, click here.
|
The Latonia Business Association also has some questions:
Please complete this survey to help us know your favorite places in Latonia! The top winner in each of the three categories will receive a prize. The survey will be open through September 7. Winners will be chosen after the close of the survey and announced at the September 19th Latonia Business Association meeting.

ENJOYING THE FALL-LIKE WEATHER? WHAT SHOULD YOU WEAR?
With autumn mercifully approaching, let's check in with Jerod Theobald, owner of flow - a shop for men on Scott Boulevard, to see what's hot as the temperatures cool:
Bright and bold colors are in this season. Brick red, steel blue, and deep plum are the heavy hitters this fall and should be paired accordingly with classic shades of camel, brown, charcoal, and black. For those of you not brave enough to wear a patterned sweater or solid chinos in a bold color, follow the trend by adding a pocket square or polka dot tie in a bright shade. Still too much? Throw on a pair of patterned or striped socks from Richer Poorer and flash some color only when you feel the urge to do so.
