From the 12/23/06 Enquirer: PHOTO: Congress has passed legislation that will allow Veterans Affairs to sell the 115-year-old houses that were built to house officers in Fort Thomas. These houses are on Alexander near Tower Park. The Enquirer / Patrick Reddy Historic homes acquisition is near BY SCOTT WARTMAN | [email protected] FORT THOMAS - The vacant, 115-year-old officers' houses in Tower Park are closer to being refurbished and occupied. All that's needed is a signature from President Bush. The city learned this week that Congress passed language in a bill that will allow the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to sell the 10 buildings to the city. The city will rehab the facades, then sell them to people on a waiting list of 140. City officials have yet to decide whether they will solicit sealed bids for the homes, set a fixed price or use some other method for determining who on the list can purchase them.

Fast forward to 2006, it is a cool, cloudy, blustery day, and it marks one of the biggest changes to the hospital since it was built 50 years ago. DCH administrators, board members, community leaders and government officials participated in a groundbreaking ceremony for the hospital’s new patient tower Thursday, Nov. 30. DCH is the second largest employer in the county, only behind Argosy Casino & Hotel, Lawrenceburg. The new patient tower will have almost as many beds as the original hospital, with plans for an 18-bed step down unit on the first floor, and 24 private hospital rooms on the second floor. Radiology/imaging and internal medicine are some the services that will be housed in the new tower’s ground floor, and the third floor will be available for further expansion. All of the work should be completed in 2009, said Roger Howard, DCH director of clinical services and facilities. While DCH is just starting its new tower, it recently completed a 247-space parking garage, and is wrapping up a dramatic renovation of its emergency department.

State preserving tracts of forest Deal blocks development of 20,000 acres in southern Ohio Tuesday, December 19, 2006 Catherine Candisky State officials are making sure that Ohio’s largest tract of privately owned forest stays a forest. The 15,849-acre Raccoon Ecological Management Area in Vinton County is among more than 20,000 acres of woodlands being protected by the state. State officials say the unprecedented opportunity was too good to pass. "There aren’t a lot of blocks (of forest) this large and it’s also significant from an ecological standard," said Scott A. Zody, assistant director for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. "Many endangered and rare species need (large woodland areas) to thrive." The area is home to Ohio’s largest population of bobcats and black bears, he said. Read full article here: http://www.dispatch.com/news-story.php?story=dispatch/2006/12/19/20061219-D1-00.html

NKU plans dorm at ex-nursing home BY PATRICK CROWLEY | [email protected] AND SCOTT WARTMAN Northern Kentucky University is in negotiations to purchase the former Lakeside Heights Nursing Center, university officials and state legislators confirmed Tuesday. The university plans to convert the building into housing for up to 460 students, said university spokesman Chris Cole. Cole said the goal is to have 200 students housed there in the fall. He estimated NKU would save $8 million to $10 million by converting the building rather than constructing a new one. State legislators are working to get $20 million to NKU for the purchase and other projects. The nursing center closed in April amid a state investigation on allegations of neglect and abuse.

From the 1/15/07 Enquirer: Immigrants press courts for interpreters BY JANICE MORSE | [email protected] Court lingo can seem foreign even to people who have spoken English all their lives. So understanding legal jargon is nearly impossible for people with little English experience - especially when they nervously face a black-robed judge in an intimidating courtroom. "They stand there, nodding their heads ('yes') when they don't understand a thing that's going on. They're scared," says Roxana Hazlett, a Spanish interpreter who owns Springfield Township-based Translations Unlimited. "It's one thing to be able to order a Big Mac and french fries. It's another thing to know your rights in a courtroom and understand judges and lawyers and laws." Courts have long provided interpreters to non-English-speaking people. But as the immigrant population rises in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, several courts have been forced to take other steps - and spend a lot more money - to handle the flow.

From the 1/13/07 Cincinnati Post: Fischer federal case dealt blow By Paul A. Long Post staff reporter A federal grand jury has indicted a Mexican national who jumped bond, devastating the government's case against five Fischer Homes employees charged with shielding illegal immigrants. Meeting late Friday evening in Covington, the grand jury indicted Nelson Trejo on a charge of failing to appear at his sentencing hearing. U.S. District Judge David Bunning immediately signed a warrant for Trejo's arrest on the new charge, which carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison. Trejo earlier had cut a deal with prosecutors in which he pleaded guilty to a single count of harboring illegal immigrants and agreed to cooperate with agents investigating the home building industry in Northern Kentucky. Specifically, he admitted that he had provided crews of illegal immigrants to frame houses for Fischer Homes. Five supervisors for the company were charged with conspiring to harbor the illegal immigrants by providing them jobs. The indictment against them said they hired Trejo's men. But a few days before their scheduled trial on Nov. 27, Assistant U.S. Attorney Bob McBride sought a delay in the trial, saying Trejo, his key witness, was missing. Bunning refused to grant the delay and instead dismissed the charges after McBride said he could not proceed without Trejo. The charges may be refilled.

From the 1/4/07 DDN: Kilburn: CLC can count on Warren County's support Commissioner says county will ensure that Sheriff Tom Ariss can enforce immigration laws. By Linda Scott Contributing Writer Citizens for Legal Communities can count on Warren County Commissioner Mike Kilburn's support. "Anyway I or the board of commissioners can support this group, I'm sure we'd be happy to do so. I will and I'm sure (commissioners) Pat (South) and Dave (Young) will, too," Kilburn said. "We are going to adopt a resolution requesting or demanding that (Warren County Sheriff) Tom Ariss develop the same program as Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones so he can enforce immigration laws in Warren County," Kilburn said. "If he does that, then all the other cities in the county won't have to do it because if our county sheriff gets the same status as sheriff Jones has, then our people can go to these cities and arrest (illegal immigrants) and the cities won't have to." As for laws penalizing landlords and employers who house or hire illegal immigrants, Kilburn said there are already federal laws in place addressing the matter.

Long Post staff reporter So they can continue to investigate the use of illegal immigrant workers in Northern Kentucky's home-building industry, federal prosecutors have secured delays in the sentencing of a number of contractors who pleaded guilty in the probe. "They're still investigating and pursuing Fischer (Homes)," said Michael Bouldin, an attorney for one of the contractors. In May, agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement raided several Fischer Homes building sites in Boone County, rounding up nearly 100 people. Most were illegal immigrants from Mexico or Central America, but at least a dozen were contractors who provided workers for the construction of the homes. Also arrested were four supervisors from Fischer Homes. A fifth supervisor was subsequently indicted, but the charges against all five were eventually dropped after the key witnesses against them fled the country. The company has not been charged, and its officials deny they knew of any illegal immigrants working for it. MORE: http://news.cincypost.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070104/NEWS01/701040373

From ThisWeek Licking County, 12/24/06: Heath weighs options on illegal immigrants Sunday, December 24, 2006 By LORI WINCE ThisWeek Staff Writer Heath police Chief Tony Shepherd wants the city to give him a stronger hand in dealing with illegal immigrants. "Our officers come into contact with illegal immigrants on a regular basis," Shepherd told members of Heath City Council's safety committee Dec. 11. "The only enforcement action available to us," his report said, "is to arrest for the crime committed. Most often our contact is from a traffic violation, and an arrest is made for no driver's license. They drive unlicensed and uninsured but are able to purchase vehicles." Shepherd brought up the issue in the wake of the recent stabbing incident at a restaurant. The two employees injured in the incident were illegal immigrants, he said.
