SPORTS 1BIndians fall in All ‘A’ final

PARK HILLS – CovingtonCatholic High School seniorJosh Hildreth’s passion for tin-kering on a competition robotnamed “Chainsaw” knows fewboundaries.

“I take it around every-where and on weekends even,”Hildreth said. “The guys jokearound with me that I’m datingthe robot.”

“Chainsaw” doesn’t cutanything. The name camefrom an early design thatmade the robot’s whirring mo-tions look like a chainsaw, Hil-dreth said.

“We decided to keep thename,” he said.

Hildreth, of Alexandria, isone of 40 CovCath robotics/en-gineering club students. Theclub is tied to the school’sSTEM (Science, Technology,Engineering and Math)program started last fall.

CovCath has 160 studentstaking two different STEMcourses – 25 percent of en-rolled students.

Robotics club memberswill host students from aroundthe region for an inaugural“CovCath Colonel Classic VEXTournament” from 9:30 a.m. to4:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 6, atThomas More College’s Stei-

gerwald Hall. CovCath has five robotics

teams that have already com-peted this year against 91teams in two different compe-

titions in Shelbyville, Ken-tucky, and Elizabethtown,Kentucky.

COVINGTON - KentonCounty Fiscal Court formallyfired golf course manager DanMoening during a special meet-

ing Jan. 19.In November,

Moening wasfired by theCounty Adminis-trator Joe Shri-ver after Trea-surer Roy Coxfound and inves-tigated irregu-larities in the

public golf courses’ books.At the special meeting

Judge-executive Kris Knochel-mann said Moening was termi-nated for “violations of admin-istrative policies and proce-dures including but not limitedto incompetency, inefficiency,neglect of duty, failures of prop-er cash management and insub-ordination.”

Knochelmann declined fur-ther comment, but said the mat-ter was also being turned overto the Commonwealth’s Attor-ney Office for review.

Moening, who earned a sala-ry of $52,031 plus commissionon pro-shop sales at about$30,000 annually, had been withthe golf courses most recentlysince 2011. A year before that,after 18 years with the countygolf courses, he was laid offalong with three others in a re-organization of the golf courses.

Moening appealed thatlayoff in 2010, arguing it was apolitical move, and in 2011 hewas hired again. And, in 2012, hewas made general manager ofthe Golf Courses of KentonCounty.

Kenton County has threepublic courses, Fox Run, Pio-neer and Willows in Independ-ence.

COVINGTON – KentonCounty and Grant County coop-erative extension services willhost an informational meetingon the latest research beingdone on industrial hemp pro-duction in Kentucky.

Because industrial hemp isa variety of Cannabis sativa,there is legislation in bothhouses of Congress to exclude

hemp from the legal definitionof marijuana. Most legislatorsand both senators from Ken-tucky are co-sponsoring bills toallow this production to moveforward, said Dan Allen, Ken-ton County Extension agent foragriculture.

Robotics club studentsspecialize in mechanicalengineering and pro-gramming, said STEM co-ordinator and club coachBob Lind.

During competition,students’ robots have twominutes to perform tasksautonomously at first, andthen with remote-controlguidance. This year’s taskis to see how many balls arobot can catapult or pitchinto a hoop-shaped hole.

“Chainsaw” uses a fly-wheel design to aim ballsat the hole similar to howballs come out of a battingcage machine. Chainsawcan shoot a dozen balls inthe span of a few seconds.

“We have several gearratios. The first gear ratiohere is geared for speedso when the motor spinsaround it makes threerevolutions then thewheel spins 49 revolu-tions,” Hildreth said.

Hildreth, his team’schief engineer, has ac-cepted an offer from Uni-versity of Louisville’s J.B.

Speed School of Engineer-ing to pay for his tuitionfor 5.5 years. It’s enoughtime to get both bachelor’sand master’s degrees, Hil-dreth said.

Tinkering on “Chain-saw” at home and duringany free moments atschool is “a passion,” hesaid. Hildreth takes therobot and a backpackfilled with parts to Lind’sengineering class and to aComputer-Aided Design(CAD) class.

“I’m actually buildingthis robot in CAD and itgoes up to 1/1000th of aninch is the accuracy of it,”he said.

Lind said CovCathSTEM courses taken byrobotics club students andothers are taught in part-nership with national-STEM curriculum provid-er Project Lead the Way.

Courses are “hands-on” opportunities for stu-dents to learn a three-di-mensional modeling com-puter program and prac-tice principles of engi-neering, he said.

Students learn aboutgears and mechanicalsystems, robotics, bridgedesigns, hydraulics, elec-

tronics and computerbreadboards. Bread-boards are devices forconstructing an electron-ic circuit without solder-ing a connection,

Math teacher Joe Gas-tenveld, another CovCathrobotics coach, said heand Lind mostly answerstudents’ questions.

“Most of this stuff is100 percent their idea,they’re building thethings, they’re program-ming them, they’re pick-ing the parts up,” Gasten-wald said.

Sophomore Brett Scho-maker, of CrescentSprings, said he was in aLego robotics club ingrade school.

“I thought it was a littlebit too simplistic so Istopped doing that,” Scho-maker said.

Schomaker, lead pro-gramer for his roboticsteam, said he decided tosign up for the club assoon as he came to Cov-Cath as a freshman.

“I’ve always been in-terested in computers, sowhen I came here I sawrobotics and I was like,‘Oh, I should try that out,’”he said.

of interest from acrossthe state on industrialhemp.

“Industrial hemp was ahuge crop here in Ken-tucky during the early tomid 1900s. Kentucky’sgrowing season and soilsmake us a great place toproduce hemp. The goalfor having to program is

to familiarize farmersand the public about thiscrop and the state of thecurrent market demandsof industrial hemp,” Allensaid.

The program will be at7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 4, atthe Kenton County Exten-sion Office, 10990 Mar-shall Road, Covington. Toregister, call 859-356-3155.

It will include the histo-ry and botany of hemp,the economics of growingcommercial hemp, and re-sults of the 2015 Univer-sity of Kentucky re-search. The program willbe presented by DavidWilliams, researcher withthe University of Ken-tucky Department of

Plant and Soil Sciences. “There’s a lot of misin-

formation about industri-al hemp,” said Chris Am-merman, Grant CountyExtension agent for agri-culture. “This programwill help people under-stand how industrialhemp grows and the po-tential markets for indus-

trial hemp products.” According to the Ken-

tucky Department of Ag-riculture website, theglobal market for indus-trial hemp consists ofmore than 25,000 prod-ucts including textiles,food and beverages, oilsand cosmetics.

Canada has more than

38,000 acres of industrialhemp in production. Cana-dian exports of hemp seedand hemp products wereestimated at more than$10 million, with most ofthose exports coming tothe U.S.

“At one time Kentuckyled the nation in hempproduction,” Allen said.“The primary productswere textiles and ropeproducts, however to-day’s varieties of hempproduce high-quality oils,flour and other householditems. There is current re-search on the possibilityof livestock feed fromhemp.”

It is estimated that 90 million Americanssnore during sleep. While half of these peo-ple are “simple snorers,” the other halfmay have a serious sleep disorder called Ob-structive Sleep Apnea. Dr. Kitzmiller, of Cin-cinnati Dental Sleep Medicine, treats patientsevery day in his Milford office and shares an-swers to the most frequently asked questionshe receives.

Q: What is the difference between snoringand sleep apnea?A: “Snoring is the sound produced duringsleep by the vibration of the soft tissues in theupper airway (nose and throat). Obstructivesleep apnea is a medical condition where thesoft tissues of the throat collapse and blockthe airway during sleep. Most often, sleep ap-nea sufferers are reported to not only snore,but to stop breathing multiple times per hourand wake with a gasp.”

Q: Are there any health risks with sleep ap-nea?A: “Yes. In addition to excessive fatigue, un-treated sleep apnea can contribute to a num-ber of health conditions including high bloodpressure, diabetes, depression, weight gain,and morning headaches. Untreated sleep ap-nea has also been linked to heart attack andstroke.”

Q:How can I find out if it’s more than snoring?A: “Only a physician can diagnose sleep ap-nea. This is done with an overnight sleep test,either in a sleep facility or at home. After acomplimentary health screening in our officewe can guide you to an appropriate physicianfor further evaluation.”

Q:What are treatment options for snoring andsleep apnea?A: “Snoring solutions typically include weightloss and not sleeping on your back. Sleep ap-nea treatments included CPAP devices, OralAppliances, and surgery. In our office we treatour snoring and sleep apnea patients with anoral appliance, an FDA approved medical de-vice that fits over your teeth and holds thelower jaw forward, keeping the airway openwhile you sleep.”

Q: Does medical insurance cover any of thetreatment?A: “We have been very successful in using ourpatient’s medical insurance to cover a portionof the treatment fee. During the complimen-

COVINGTON – TheSecond Time AroundThrift Shop accepts hun-dreds of donations ofgently used itemsthroughout the year.

“We sort through thedonations and pricethem for $1, $2, $3,” shopvolunteer manager Car-ol Cleves said. It’s prettyroutine work and theitems are typically noth-ing out of the ordinary.

However, Clevescame across the dona-tion of a framed pictureof Mickey Mouse a fewmonths ago. In the bot-tom corner of the mattewas an autograph ad-dressed to “Bill.”

“It was difficult tomake out the signature,”Cleves said. “But I waspretty sure it said, ‘WaltDisney.’”

Cleves took the pic-ture home that night andasked her son to take alook.

He didn’t think thesignature said Walt Dis-ney, but when he lookedonline, the signature ap-peared to match Dis-ney’s. Cleves’ son keptlooking and stumbledupon the website of pop-ular Disney collectorand expert Phil Sears.Sears offered to look atthe autograph and au-thenticate it for free.Soon after they sent hima photo of the autograph,he confirmed it was gen-uine and offered to buy itfor $2,500.

“I about fell out of mychair,” Cleves said.

That kind of money isjust what the strugglingthrift store needed to

make its average profitfor 2015. The SecondTime Around Thriftshop, located on EasternAvenue in Covington, isan all-volunteer opera-tion. Its proceeds bene-fit St. Elizabeth causessuch as teen volunteerscholarships, comfortfor infants with neonatalabstinence syndromeand the pertussis orwhooping cough cocoon-ing program. Due to alack of volunteers, thethrift shop has cut backon hours which has madea dent in profits.

Still, Cleves “didn’tfeel right” selling theautograph without thedonor knowing its worth,she said.

The next day she con-tacted the donor, BethRedwine. Redwine’sfamily has a close rela-tionship with the thriftshop. Her mother, MaryAnn Menke, helped to es-tablish the shop. Red-wine said she didn’tknow the value of the

signature. The item wasleft to her after the deathof a family friend, BillWirthlin.

Wirthlin, of Florence,died in 2012 at age 79 af-ter a long battle with ce-rebral palsy. In hisyounger years, heformed a pen pal rela-tionship with severalpeople; Walt Disney wasone of them, she said.

“He, with the help ofhis mother, had writtenletters to several celeb-rities,” Redwine said.“Walt Disney wrote backand took a real interest

in him. Walt even invitedhim and his mother to behis guests at Disneylandin California. He gavethem the VIP treatment,even taking them aroundthe park himself. Itmeant a lot to Bill. It wastruly the high point of hislife.”

When Redwine madethe donation of one ofWirthlin’s most preciousmemorabilia pieces, shesaid she had just hopedthat it would find its wayto someone who enjoyedDisney. She neverdreamed it would be

worth what Phil Searswas offering. Redwinetold Cleves to sell theautograph and use theprofit to the support St.Elizabeth causes.

“It’s a great way to re-member a remarkableperson’s life,” Redwinesaid. “Bill was a goodman. The people hetouched, he did so in astrong way.”

Cleves said she isgrateful for Redwineand her family’s gener-osity.

“Because we had to beclosed so much last year

because of the shortageof volunteers, wewouldn’t have made ouraverage profit and beable to do so many goodthings,” Cleves said.“This donation means alot to the shop, truly.”

To continue opera-tions, Cleves said TheSecond Time AroundShop needs volunteers,now more than ever. Tofind out how to become avolunteer, visitstelizabeth.com.

Inside the small kitchenof the Community BibleChurch in Independence,Melanie Gibson pourswith precision the dyenamed “oxblood” into a

small tub filled with water.The intense-colored dye

diffuses quickly.Donning surgical gloves,

Gibson works swiftly too. Shedips her long, spaghetti-likeskein – or bundle – of Merinoyarn into the water.

“This is always a popularcolorway,” Gibson said as shedips the wool into the dye. “Icall it Lady Mary from theBBC show ‘Downton Abbey.’ Itlooks like something shemight wear.”

Gibson is a telemetry tech-nician at a local hospital. Sheobserves heart monitors. Butin her spare time, she diesyarn. And her business A YarnWell Spun has a following.

“Her eye for color is sim-ply awesome,” said JanetHaney, owner of Knitwits inCrescent Springs. “You reallyhave to see her hand-dyedwool. The colors are beautiful.There is simply no compari-son to the big-box acrylicyarn. They make beautifulsocks and one-of-a-kind sweat-ers.”

Gibson considers her skeinher canvas, and the colors shemixes her medium. “Myfriend says I look like a madscientist when I mix the col-ors,” she said as she poureddye into plastic cups for askein of yarn to be be cured ina crockpot of vinegar-water.

Gibson, of Elsmere, an avidreader who enjoys hiking andtraveling, names her color-ways after the places she hasvisited, the book and moviecharacters who have inspiredher and the hues that havestirred her in nature.

Some of her popular colorsare Berries n’ Cream, MountRainier, Times Square andblackberry vine. There is MayDay Basket and “The FourSisters” inspired by LouisaMay Alcott’s book.

A deep blue skein gets thename Atlantis. And an aquaand blue mixed skein gets thename Smeagol’s Birthday,named after the infamouscharacter from “The Lord ofthe Rings.”

Gibson works with fiberfrom sturdy wool to silk andmany skeins are one of a kind.Recently, she fell in love withDaniel, her friend’s sheep.

“His sweet personality andbeautiful fleece is what in-spired me,” she said. “I decid-ed I wanted to support small,family-owned fiber farms andbusinesses.”

Gibson has named her lineDaniel & Ewe, which will belocal fleeces spun at a smallfamily-owned mill in NorthCarolina. You can see her yarnat www.ayarnwellspun.com.

FLORENCE – Nobodyon council said no to a nee-dle exchange for heroinusers last Tuesday.

Mayor Diane E. Wha-len said council needs tohear a vote of supportfrom Boone County FiscalCourt before more discus-sion or taking a vote.

St. Elizabeth Health-care CEO Garren Colvinand Dr. Lynne M. Saddler,district director of healthat Northern KentuckyHealth Department,pitched the need for a nee-dle exchange at FlorenceCity Council’s Jan. 19meeting.

Colvin and Dr. Saddlersaid a needle exchange isneeded for public healthbecause of the dangersposed by shared needles.

“We are trying to pre-vent an HIV epidemicfrom happening in North-ern Kentucky,” Dr. Sad-dler said.

The health depart-ment’s plan is to operateexchanges at existinghealth centers in eachcounty in Covington, Flor-ence and Newport.

“I think the FiscalCourt has to approve itfirst,” Whalen said.

There is no reason forthe city to take action ifthere is not county sup-port, she said.

“I think if it’s going tofall in line and every-body’s got to weigh in onthis or we’ve got it allwrong and it needs to startover,” Whalen said.

Whalen said putting aneedle exchange in Flor-ence’s health center iscause for concern.

“While we realize it is aregional problem, wehave the only health cen-ter that’s next to an estab-lished neighborhood,” shesaid.

Colvin said about halfof expected needle ex-change participants arealready coming to healthcenters for other servicesincluding pregnancy andHIV testing.

Colvin said the threehealth centers will splitup service for about 375new health center clientsexpected to come just forneedles.

Dr. Saddler said a nee-dle exchange puts heroinusers in contact with thehealth care system –which can lead to more ad-dicts seeking treatment.

“Otherwise, they’rejust out there using, over-dosing and going to theemergency room,” Sad-

dler said.Councilman Mel Car-

roll said for many peopletalking about a clean nee-dle exchange is personaland not a hypothetical dis-cussion.

“I’m not saying no to it-,”Carroll said. “I’m sayingI want to know more aboutthis issue and I’m open todiscussion.”

Carroll said he dealtclosely with many fam-ilies and students dealingwith addictions.

“I have addiction in myfamily,” he said.

Carroll said he knowsaddiction’s impact on indi-viduals and community. Itwill take “a community-wide solution,” he said.Carroll said he wants tosee regional consensus.

“We would be remiss ifwe put our head in thesand and thought this wasan issue that only dealt

with other people,” Car-roll said.

The needle exchangewas one of the provisionsof a landmark heroin billto improve drug treat-ment and clamp down on

dealers which was passedin March 2015 by the Ken-tucky legislature.

The bill requires threelevels of approval for sy-ringe exchange programs– Board of Health (which

passed for Boone, Camp-bell, Grant and Kentoncounties on June 2015),city and county, said Emi-ly Gresham Wherle, pub-lic information adminis-trator for Northern Ken-tucky Health Depart-ment. If the program islocated in an unincorpo-rated area, approvalwould come from theBoard of Health and theFiscal Court.

The city of William-stown in Grant Countypassed a resolution ap-proving syringe ex-change in August; butNorthern KentuckyHealth Department hasnot yet gotten approvalfrom Grant County FiscalCourt, she said.

“Our neighboringhealth department, ThreeRivers District, receivedapproval from the Pendle-ton County Fiscal Court,and is operating out of thePendleton County HealthCenter, which is in an un-incorporated area of thecounty,” Wherle said.

ERLANGER – RalphBradburn is on a simplemission every day. Helppeople.

“There’s one questionthat’s so important to me,that I ask myself everyday,” Bradburn said.“Who has benefited frommy work today?”

Unsatisfied with thatanswer when he workedas a professional golferand later in commercialbanking, five years ago hejoined the nonprofitworld as executive direc-

tor of the Society of St.Vincent de Paul - North-ern Kentucky. You see, St.Vincent de Paul sharesthe same mission: Helppeople.

The society does thisby helping volunteers ontheir spiritual journey.According to Bradburn,when their volunteers, or“Vincentians” as they’rerefereed to at St. Vincentde Paul, assist those inneed, they realize thatthey see the face of God ineveryone they meet.

The society helps theirdonors, ensuring that ev-ery gift they entrust to

them is used toward help-ing their neighbors inneed.

Finally, the societyhelps those in need byproviding life’s necessi-ties – food, clothing, utili-ties payment assistanceand more.

“More importantly, wegive them the message ofhope, concern and thelove of God,” he said. “Ev-ery day is a blessing. Ev-ery day I get to see thesmile on the faces of thosewho we are helping. Oursupporters and our do-nors are the folks who putthose smiles there. I nev-

er forget that.” Bradburn is just as

much a part of the soci-

ety’s success, accordingto St. Vincent de Paul Dio-cesan Council presidentNorbert DeJaco.

“We appreciate hisspirit of wanting to helpothers,” DeJaco said. “Idon’t think there’s a Vin-centian around whowouldn’t say he’s a god-send for us. He helps usmake our direction inNorthern Kentucky.Ralph helps us be effec-tive.”

According to Brad-burn’s assistant JamieHahn, Bradburn is theface of St. Vincent dePaul.

“He truly understandsthe needs of our neigh-bors and is very empa-thetic,” she said. “He

lives out our mission ev-ery day and is enthusias-tic when it comes to help-ing others. He reminds usof our mission every day.”

Bradburn, 59, of He-bron, said his inspirationsare his children and thosehe works with at the soci-ety. He aspires to besomeone his children canbe proud of and to be the“best father he can be forthem,” he said. And hesaid those who work at St.Vincent de Paul are“amazing.”

“We’re richer than youcan ever imagine,” hesaid. “We get to help peo-ple every day.”

Covington Latin School hasalways encouraged students topursue extracurricular inter-ests, even if that means startinga new club to explore their pas-sion.

This year, students have tak-en it a step further and their in-terest has sparked the additionof a new sport at CLS – archery.

Freshman Christian Schuet-ter has previous experience inthe sport, and his family was

able to connect Latin Schoolwith a pair of outstandingcoaches from the CincinnatiRecreation Commission, RobinBonavantura and Mikael Soto.

Bonavantura and Soto will beleading a group of nearly 20 stu-dents, grades seven through 12,through practice three days aweek.

Many students are learningthe sport for the first time, butthe coaches are impressed with

how quickly their skills are pro-gressing.

“Though a competitionschedule has not yet been set,the options are limited only bythe number of opportunities inthe area,” Soto said. Studentswill be able to compete with oth-er area schools as well as in anumber of state and even na-tional tournaments as part ofthe National Archery in theSchools Program.

I’m a softie when it comes to Mother Na-ture’s orphans. Especially where we live, atthe end of an old country road, and especiallyduring this frigid weather.

For the past several months we’ve beenvisited daily by a gray cat. “She” doesn’thang around the whole day, but we’ve noticedthe mice population in the garage this winteris zero.

During Sunday dinner the cat came to theback kitchen door. The grandkids peeked outto see. Will asked if she had a name. “No, wejust call her cat,” I told him. “I think Silky is a goodname,” Will said. So Silky it is.

The good thing about the name is it’s gender neu-tral so we’re safe if “she” turns out to be a “he.” Weusually give dry cat food, but today I gave her a bit ofsauteed ground beef when I was making this soup.

It’s the first time she allowed me to get closeenough to pet her – her way of saying thanks?

Tip from Rita’s KitchenGruyere is a creamy Swiss cheese worth

the price. Swap it out with Swiss if you need to.

Readers want to knowHow do I steep saffron?This spice is expensive. Place the threads

in a small amount of liquid for 10 minutes orso. The liquid will turn yellow. Add the liquid

to your recipe. Besides boosting flavor, steeping dis-tributes color more evenly.

Secret ingredient spicy 30-minute beefvegetable soup

I won’t pretend this is a new recipe. I’ve shared it before,but I always get requests to publish it again, particularly duringsoup weather.

So here it is, for Charlie, a Wyoming reader, and thatyoung couple I chatted with after church. I’ve changed therecipe a bit. This soup has a cult following. I’m not surprised.It’s really that good, and really that easy. Can you tell what thesecret ingredient is?

1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef (I used sirloin in the photorecipe)

1 heaping cup chopped yellow or white onion, not sweetonion

2 cloves garlic, minced1 jar chunky garden style pasta sauce2 cans low-sodium beef brothWater to taste (start with 1 or 2 soup cans of water and

go from there)10 ounce can tomatoes and chilies or 14.5 ounce diced

tomatoes if you don’t want it spicy1 pound or so frozen soup or mixed vegetables, thawed if

you have timeSeveral handfuls any fresh greensCheddar for garnish

Saute meat, onion and garlic together in pot until meat iscooked. Now add everything else but the greens. Bring to aboil and let simmer for about 30 minutes. Toss in greens andcook until just wilted, about a minute more.

Tip from Rita’s Kitchen: A potato masher works won-ders to break up the ground beef as it cooks.

Watch Rita! Check out my YouTube channel on my siteAbouteating.com to see me making the soup.

French onion soup with Gruyere croutons

I love this soup. It’s not complicated, just takes some timecaramelizing the onions. I use my food processor to slice them.

4-5 pounds large onions, sliced very thin1/2 to 1 stick butter6 cups low sodium beef broth or chicken broth8 slices French bread, sliced 1/2 inches, toasted on one

side1/2 pound Gruyere, grated

To toast bread: Brush very lightly with olive oil or spraywith olive oil spray. Run under broiler until golden on top, orbake in 400-degree oven.

Cook onions in butter over medium heat, stirring fre-quently, for 40 minutes or until golden brown. Add brothslowly, stirring constantly, until soup comes to a boil. Lower tosimmer, cover and cook 20 minutes. Season to taste. Fill ov-enproof bowls with soup. Place slice of bread, toasted sidedown, on top of each. Divide cheese among bread slices. Broiluntil cheese melts.

Last week’s questionWhat do you make of Gov.

Matt Bevin’s plan to dismantlekynect, Kentucky’s health ex-change?

“Horrible idea! There areover 300,000 citizens who nowcan see a doctor. Without Ky-nect they will be back to theemergency room which is themost expensive care. Andwhich all of us end up pay-ing.”

Edith Bentley, Cold Spring

I am dismayed by Gover-nor Bevin’s move to dismantle

the state’s successful healthinsurance exchange, kynect.Why in the world would wemake it harder for Kentuck-ians to access information andsign up for insurance by mov-ing them into the federal ex-change when our own is de-signed exclusively to meetour needs? Moreover, wherewill the estimated cost of $23million to dismantle kynectcome from? I see this asstrictly a political move, andnot something the governor isdoing for cost-savings or forthe benefit of the citizens ofKentucky. It is bad policy

perpetrated by a vindictiveand inexperienced chief exec-utive.

We arrived in Bremerha-ven, Germany, in August 1965after crossing the Atlantic onthe USNS Geiger, a Navytransport ship.

My family was moving toLandstuhl, Europe’s largestAmerican hospital, where my

dad wouldcontinue hiscareer as anArmy officerand psychiat-ric socialworker. I was11 years old,the middlechild of seven,though mysister Marywas starting

college in St. Louis so shedidn’t make this trek.

From Bremerhaven, wetraveled 500 kilometers bytrain to Frankfurt. We shareda train car with two elegantlydressed women who broke outflasks of what I imagined wasbrandy that early afternoon. Iwould learn later, mainly frommy piano teacher Frau Rude-ka, that taking sips at an ap-pointed time was common(though in her case it mighthave stemmed from my pianoplaying).

The Frankfurt train stationwas an architectural marvel.We had our first German meal:brats, broetchen and a carbon-ated lemon drink called limo-nade. It was wonderful.

Waiting for our train toLandstuhl, we had a conve-nient and welcoming place towait, the USO. In retrospect it

was awfully nice for my momand dad, travel orders in handand six bewildered Armybrats in tow, to decompressand chat with USO volunteersabout what to expect next onour journey.

Let me take this opportuni-ty to congratulate the USO onits 75th anniversary on Feb. 4,2016.

Kathy Williams, a volun-teer, is manager of the USOCenter at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Interna-tional Airport. She shared withme some background andhistory of the United ServiceOrganizations for NationalDefense.

President Franklin DelanoRoosevelt, seeing the inevita-ble involvement of the UnitedStates in World War II, on Feb.4, 1941, challenged six privateorganizations – the YMCA,YWCA, National CatholicCommunity Service, the Na-tional Jewish Welfare Board,the Traveler’s Aid Associationand the Salvation Army – tocreate an organization thatwould keep service membersin touch with the bonds offamily and comforts of home,no matter where or underwhat conditions they served.

Roosevelt chose Thomas E.Dewey to serve as the firstUSO Campaign Chairman.Dewey resigned the post tobecome governor of New Yorkand Roosevelt soon selectedone of his political rivals as thesecond USO Campaign Chair-man, setting a tone of non-partisan unity. Prescott S.

Bush, eventual father of onepresident, grandfather ofanother, rallied Americansaround the cause of the USOand raised millions of dollarsto support its growth.

Today, with 600 employeesand 30,000 volunteers, Kathysaid, the USO provides pro-grams, entertainment andservices at nearly 200 USOlocations worldwide includingAfghanistan, Kuwait, UnitedArab Emirates, Germany,Italy, Japan, Guam, SouthKorea, Djibouti and the UnitedStates. USO Centers werevisited more than 7 milliontimes by service members andtheir families in 2014.

FDR indeed had great fore-sight to create the USO in 1941.

“Not by machines alone willwe win the war,” he said.

It’s been 10 months sinceGov. Steve Beshear signed theheroin reform bill, Senate Bill192, into law. One measure ofthe law was to allow, for thefirst time ever in Kentucky,operation of syringe accessexchange programs to reducethe threat of infectious dis-eases spread by intravenousdrug use.

In the 10 months since thelaw was passed, staff at theNorthern Kentucky HealthDepartment have broughttogether partners from thecommunity and resources fromacross the country to develop amodel syringe access exchangeprogram. The proposed pro-gram is both efficient and opti-mizes the public health impactof such services – their abilityto connect IV drug users to thehealth care system and addic-tions treatment. It would oper-ate with existing staff at thehealth department’s countyhealth centers.

It received unanimous ap-proval from the District Boardof Health. The program hasfunding in place for its firstyear of operation and staffhave received much of therequired training.

In the 10 months since thelaw was passed, elected offi-cials in Louisville, Lexingtonand Pendleton County haveapproved such programs inthose areas, and public healthofficials have implementedthem. Louisville’s programopened in June, Lexington andPendleton County’s began inSeptember.

In the 10 months since thelaw was passed, Northern Ken-tucky’s IV drug users havecontinued to share needles. Asurvey conducted by the healthdepartment over the summerfound that more than 85 per-cent of users surveyed shareneedles at least some of thetime. Even more concerning,local IV drug users indicatedthat they often share needlesuntil they break or are too dullto use.

Since the law was passed,almost 800 people in NorthernKentucky have been diagnosedwith hepatitis C and more than100 have been diagnosed withhepatitis B. Northern Kentuckywas featured in a New YorkTimes article in July about itshepatitis C rates, which are thehighest in the nation. While asyringe access exchange pro-gram won’t eliminate theseviruses, it can reduce theirspread.

In the 10 months since thelaw was passed, we have notseen a rise in HIV cases, ashappened in Scott County, Indi-ana, last spring. But the threatexists. Our window of opportu-nity to prevent such an out-break could close at any time.

In the 10 months since thelaw was passed, the healthdepartment has educated elect-ed officials in several NorthernKentucky cities and countiesabout this issue. The approvalof both the city and county isrequired for a program to oper-ate. Only one group –Willliam-stown City Council – has con-sidered syringe access ex-change program and voted infavor, unanimously. WithoutGrant County’s approval,though, a program can’t oper-ate.

It seems that a public healthissue, protecting Northern

Kentuckiansfrom thespread of in-fectious dis-ease, has be-come political.That’s a shame.

Syringeaccess ex-change pro-grams havebeen operatingin other partsof the country

for almost 30 years. Time andagain, they have been shown topositively impact the health ofthe community. Such programsdo not encourage people tostart using drugs or increasetheir use. They do not increasecrime in the neighborhoods inwhich they operate, either.

These programs are a triedand true public health interven-tion to reduce the burden of IVdrug use. Besides stopping thespread of disease, syringe ac-cess exchange programs canconnect IV drug users withtreatment programs. They canprovide other health serviceslike immunizations, pregnancytesting and overdose preven-tion kits. Syringe access ex-change programs are cost ef-fective. For every $1 invested,up to $7 is saved in preventionof HIV treatment costs alone.

When faced with outbreaksof communicable disease, pub-lic health officials look to in-terventions to stop the spread.With the passage of SB 192 lastMarch, we now have access toa tool to stop some of the hor-rendous impacts of the heroinepidemic on our community.It’s a tool we desperately needin Northern Kentucky. After 10months of education and dis-cussion, it’s time we put publichealth first and implement asyringe access exchange pro-gram in Northern Kentucky.

Last year we discussedliability concerns involvingthe removal of snow and icebut I thought it important tore-examine this issue againthis year after some signifi-cant changes in the commonlaw were made by the Ken-tucky Supreme Court in Sep-tember of last year.

Previously there was noliability for property ownerswho took no action to cleartheir sidewalks and drive-ways. This is no longer thecase.

In Kentucky, negligenceactions – like slips and falls asa result of snow and ice – aredetermined based on compar-ative fault. Each party thatmay be responsible is attrib-uted a percentage of the fault

for the dam-age that oc-curred. Thisallows aninjured per-son to recovereven if thatperson is 99percent atfault for in-jury to him-self or herself.

For ex-ample, should

you have a pothole in yoursidewalk that is unseen be-cause of snow and a personinjures themselves as a result,you may be liable. Of course,you could still defend sayingthat the injured person is atfault because of not takingdue care in the snow. None-

theless, as the property own-er, if you are found even 1percent at fault, you may haveto pay damages. Those dam-ages however, would be basedon the percentage of fault.

Lastly, property ownersmay also want to check localordinances as more and morecities, such as Louisville, haveadopted snow removal ordi-nances for sidewalks.

A 10-pin spare leave can bedaunting and intimidating foreven the best professional bow-lers. Especially with a champi-onship on the line.

Beechwood junior PJ Rumpfaced one of the most nerve-wracking moments a bowler canhave when he had to convert the10-pin spare in the 10th frame ofthe Region 6 singles final Mon-day night to win a title. He failedin a similar situation against Si-mon Kenton’s Jonathan Cum-mins during a singles tourna-ment earlier in the season.

This time, he didn’t, as Rumpconverted the spare and went onto beat Covington Catholic’sAdam Zimmerman 202-200 towin his first championship at Su-per Bowl Erlanger.

“It’s pretty awesome,” Rumpsaid. “I’m the first one to do it forBeechwood and that’s prettycool.”

Rump and Zimmerman eachqualified for next week’s statesingles tournament in Lexing-ton, along with two other boysand four girls who advanced.Rump had a tense roller-coasterjourney, averaging 213 in theeight games for the night.

Rump had the lead afterthree games of qualifying with a717, then struggled with a 172 inthe fifth and last game to fallback into third place. He quali-fied for state but had to winthree matches to claim thechampionship in the stepladderfinals format.

In each of the three games,Rump needed to perform in thefinal frame to win. He notchedfour strikes in the ninth and 10th

frames to defeat Dixie Heights’Cory Spivey, who finishedfourth and also advanced tostate. Then, Rump struck twicein the 10th to defeat Cooper’s An-drew Blood, who finished third.

“I just had to stay slow, had tomake sure I hit my marks,”Rump said. “Cory had a greatshot in the 10th and left a nine pin.He deserved better. Adam just

left a couple of splits.”The 10-pin conversion will

live on in his mind after the earli-er foible this season.

“(The earlier miss) keptflashing back in my head,” hesaid. “(Against Cummins), I hadthe first six (strikes) and I hadhim the entire match. He struckout in the 10th to beat me by one.”

Afamiliar winner emerged inthe girls division, as BooneCounty senior Kayla Hightchewedged teammate Taylor Evans,187-182 in the final. Evans wasthe defending champion andHightchew picked up her sec-ond after winning in 2014.

“I hate bowling against myown teammate,” Hightchewsaid. “I always feel bad. I wantedit because it’s my last year buteven if I didn’t win I would be sohappy for Taylor or Kara(Strong) or Samantha(Schmitz).”

Rebels took up three of thefour spots in the finals to go tostate. Strong finished fourth.Cooper’s Sierra Brandt finishedthird and will advance to state.She shot a 219 in the last game ofqualifying to edge Strong bythree pins and Schmitz by sixpins, preventing a Rebels sweepof the four qualifying spots.

“We were really shooting forall four of us to be in it but it’sreally great that we all threemade it into the top four,” Hight-chew said. She and the Rebels

are ready to peak for the Region6 team tourney on Wednesday.The Rebels won the conferencetitle in the regular season.

“I feel like we’re really pre-pared (for team),” Hightchewsaid. “I’m more excited for theteam than the singles. We alwayshave so much fun in the team re-gionals. We’re always cheering.”

VILLA HILLS - Villa Ma-donna lost 59-47 to Bellevue inthe quarterfinals of the NinthRegion All “A” Classic Jan. 20at Lloyd. VMA fell to 9-10 andwill play at Heritage Feb. 1.

VMA fell behind 17-4 in thefirst quarter but rallied tolead 35-32 in the third quarter.Bellevue’s Brady Hayes hit arunning 3-pointer from wellbeyond the arc at the thirdquarter buzzer, and Bellevuestarted the fourth period on a10-3 run to pull away.

“We came out flat,” saidVMA head coach NathanDilts. “Give our guys credit,they fought back. They took alead. They hit the half-courterthat gave them some momen-tum going into the fourth, anddown the stretch, they threw adifferent press against us thatwe hadn’t seen, and we didn’thandle it well enough. Wecouldn’t finish around thebasket.”

Junior Thomas Schutzmanled the way with 21 points.Sophomore Sean McIntyrehad 11 points and sophomoreRobert Spicker eight.

VMA had lost by fivepoints, 57-52 to Bellevue earli-er in the season.

“We know they’re a betterteam in the conference andwe can compete with them,”Dilts said. “We played themwithin five last time and thistime the lead stretched at theend because we had to foul.We’re as good as any team inthe conference when we exe-cute. We have to execute a lit-tle better and we can’t digthose 13-point holes in thefirst quarter.”

Schutzman averages 16.2points per game to lead theway. He scored his 1,000th ca-reer point earlier in January.

“He’s going to end up being

one of the top scorers in thehistory of the school,” Diltssaid. “He does a lot for us.He’s been doing a lot since hewas a freshman. He’s a greatleader, he’s a great offensiveplayer, really plays instinctu-ally out there. He takes on somuch of the load and some-times he forces stuff whichsometimes he has to do.”

McIntyre averages eightpoints per game and juniorWill Martin seven. FreshmanBen Zalla posts five points agame. Spicker leads in re-bounding with six a contest.The two seniors on the roster,Alex Kenkel and Sean Malo-ne, average four points pergame.

Dilts said the team willcontinue to grow. VMA start-ed 4-0, winning three games atthe Berea tipoff tournament,and is 3-4 in conference play.

“The last three games, Ireally liked the way we wereplaying,” he said. “We weren’tjust charging at the basket,we were finding cutters andmoving. We were consistenton defense.”

JIM OSBORN/FOR THE RECORDER

Villa’s Thomas Schutzman racesafter a loose ball againstBellevue.

In a game with plenty of fam-ily ties between head coachesand their star players, it was theson of a former collegiate coachcarrying the day.

Holy Cross senior Tyler Be-zold scored a game-high 29points to lift the Indians to a 66-59 win over Newport in a quar-terfinal game of the Ninth Re-gion All “A” Classic tournamentJan. 20.

Bezold set the tone with 10points in the first quarter and 17overall in the half.

“He was ready to play to-night,” said HC head coachRyan Schrand. “When he’s feel-ing like that, he does some reallygood things. He’s a tough guard,he can play outside or in. Theydidn’t have anybody to match upwith him. It was a great night forhim.”

Bezold is the son of formerNKU head coach David Bezold.Schrand has two sons who playfor the Indians in senior guardLeighton and sophomore guardNolan, and Newport senior Eth-an Snapp, son of head coachRod, is the Wildcats’ leadingscorer for the year.

Holy Cross rolled over Belle-vue in the semis.

In the finals, Holy Cross lost70-52 to Newport Central Catho-lic, who won its fourth straightregional title and denied the In-

dians their first since their 2012state championship run.

Things turned early in thesecond period. Ben Weyer hit a3-pointer on NCC’s first posses-sion to put NewCath up 18-15. Aminute into the period, Bezoldwent down at midcourt follow-ing a collision with a NewCathplayer. Bezold was unable to putany weight on his right ankleand was helped off the court. Hewas on crutches the rest of thegame.

“I know it was a big letdownfor them when Bezold got hurt,”

Dawn said. “He’s a big factor.They really stepped up andplayed hard after that but even-tually it wears on you. He doesso many things for them thatwhen you take him out, it’stough. He handles the ball, heshoots the ball. He does every-thing for them.”

When Tyler was a little kid,he would tag along to practiceswith the Norse. Then, afterpractice was over, he would gethis shots up.

“I was always in the gym,running around shooting

jumpers when I was little,” Be-zold said. “I was always trying toimitate my dad’s players. He’dtell me, ‘This guy is really goodat this,’ so I’d try to watch himduring their practice and thentry to copy his moves after prac-tice. Or if he said this guy is goodat shooting, then I’d try to takesomething from that players’shooting form. He’s always hadme in the gym.”

All those shots and all thattime spent working in the gymover the years turned Bezoldinto one of the top high school

players in Northern Kentucky.With his well-rounded game andsweet shooting stroke, he cur-rently leads Holy Cross with anaverage of 18.7 points per gameon 54.8 percent shooting fromthe field, including 42.9 percentfrom 3-point range.

He scored his 1,000th careerpoint against Holmes, then wentout and scored 29 points whileleading the Indians to their firstvictory over Covington Catholicsince Feb. 3, 2012.

“Beating CovCath and get-ting my 1,000th point, there wasno better feeling in the world,”Bezold said. “I probably didn’tshow a lot of emotion, but it wasall built up inside and just feltamazing.”

After spending the last gameof his All “A” prep career on thebench with the injury, he hopesto return to lead the Indians’chase for district and regionaltitles in the postseason.

“It definitely affected them,”NCC senior Ben Weyer said ofBezold’s injury. “He’s a greatkid. I really like him. I actuallytalk to him a lot. We’ve beentexting the last few days leadingup to this game.”

Schrand led Holy Cross with17 points in the regional final.

“He carried them,” Dawnsaid. “I told him when we wereshaking hands that he kept histeam in it. And he did. He did ev-erything he could. That kid is ahell of a player.”

After missing the Ninth Re-gion All “A” quarterfinals witha wrist injury, Newport CentralCatholic forward Ben Weyerreturned to lead the Thorough-breds with 14 points in a 78-60semifinals win over St. Henryat Lloyd High School Thursdaynight.

The Thoroughbreds held theCrusaders scoreless for thefirst four-plus minutes of thegame. Brennan Hall’s layup intransition with 4:28 to play inthe first quarter stretched histeam’s lead to double-digits,11-0, and forced St. Henry coachDave Faust to call a timeout.

St. Henry junior StephenMaley ended the Thorough-breds’ 13-0 run with a mid-range jumper and a three onconsecutive possessions. Ma-ley scored seven of his team-high 15 points in the first peri-od.

NewCath’s full-court pres-sure gave the Crusaders sometrouble with turnovers, andkept them from getting intotheir offense for much of thefirst half. Missed shots and mis-cues turned into transition op-portunities for the Thorough-breds’ offense, and when theysettled into the halfcourt, theymoved the ball to find openjump shots.

After trailing by as many as19, Adam Goetz’s 3-pointer mid-way through the second quar-ter capped an 11-2 St. Henry runthat cut the Crusaders’ deficitto 37-27. A runner by Goetz lat-er in the half gave him 1,000 ca-reer points.

However, NewCath closedthe half on a 10-2 run to push itslead to 47-29 at halftime. PaulWallenhorst finished with 11points and Goetz had nine.

Faust grew up idolizing RonDawn, the coach at NewportCentral Catholic. Both playedbasketball together at NewCathand went on to become team-mates at Thomas More College.

“I was always a freshmanwhen he was a senior, and Ilooked up to him,” Faust said.

Back then, both men hadlong hair and aspirations to stayin the game following theirplaying careers. These days,they wear their hair muchshorter while plying their craftand occasionally facing eachother as coaches.

St. Henry hung on to beatBeechwood, 66-64 in the quar-terfinals, thanks to a 25-pointfourth quarter by the Crusad-ers, and a missed final shot bythe Tigers that bounced on therim three times at the finalbuzzer.

Goetz scored a game-high 26points for the Crusaders. GrantWilliams was next with 11, fol-

lowed by Maley and Wallen-horst, with 10 each. Maley andWallenhorst scored eightapiece in the final quarter.

“I tried to make myself moreassertive, and attack the bas-ket,” Goetz said. “When I start-ed hitting shots, they startedguarding me closer, and I wasable to get the ball to my team-mates.”

It was St. Henry’s fourth winin a row, helping erase a toughbeginning of the schedule thatsaw the Crusaders lose theirfirst six.

“I think our younger playersare growing up. We were play-ing four or five kids that hadnever played varsity, and theschedule we played wasn’t idealfor that,” Faust said.

ERLANGER – It’s awarm Saturday in Decem-ber. Taking advantage ofthe good weather, mostare out hitting the mallsdoing their Christmasshopping.

Dennis Bridges, how-ever, is hitting the pave-ment, as usual. This timeraising funds for the Ar-thritis Foundation duringthe Jingle Bell Run andWalk.

The 68-year-old Er-langer man paces himself.A few drops of sweat rundown the side of his face,but he is determined. Hemingles among his fellowwalkers, making friendlychit-chat, but he’s keepingstrong and competitive.Bridges is going to finishthis walk, which will markhis 38th this year.

“It’s a hobby,” Bridgessaid nonchalantly.

It’s a hobby he’s delvedin for the last nine years.It all started when heworked as a bus driver forTANK. He and other em-ployees were asked to par-ticipate in a walk for St.Elizabeth. “I liked it andhave been doing it eversince,” he said.

Now retired, his goal isto do 25 walks a year, butlike 2015, he usually ex-ceeds that goal and hasparticipated in 317 walks.“That’s just what I’vecounted,” he said.

To prepare for thewalking events, Bridgesvisits LA Fitness in Cres-cent Springs and walksthe treadmill for 3 miles afew times a week. He saidparticipating in the walksis very rewarding and it’seven helped his health.Since he’s been doing allthe walking, his bloodpressure medicationshave been cut in half.Bridges doesn’t just dothe walks for his health.

“I don’t get to do awhole lot to help otherpeople,” he said. “So, thewalks are a way I can dothat. All the walks I partic-ipate in are for a goodcause – to raise money foran organization or indi-vidual. That is nice.”

He also likes bondingwith fellow walkers. “Youmeet a lot of nice people,”he said.

Steve Prescott, a walkand run organizer, is afriend Bridges has gottento know over the yearsthrough his walking ad-ventures.

Prescott said Bridgesis “a friendly, caring, gen-erous and yet competitiveman.”

“Within the last fewyears Dennis had eye-sight challenges but thatdid not stop him,” Pres-cott said. “Days after a

procedure he was back onthe race walk circuit. Itseems his passion for racewalking has intensified ashe gets older.

“Nevertheless he is aptto say an encouragingword to competitors hehas beaten and those who

have beaten him. Thereare few other men whocompete on such a regularbasis and yet much ofDennis’ motivation seemsto arise from his will tocontribute to the nonprof-it organizations that hisrace registration fees

support.”Some of Bridges’ fa-

vorite walks include St.Elizabeth’s Strides forSTARS, which supportsthe hospital’s grief pro-gram for children, and theNorthern KentuckyHates Heroin 5K Run/Walk. This June, Bridgesplaced third in the men’swalking category in theNorthern KentuckyHates Heroin race. He re-ceived a plaque and one ofthe bedrooms at theHealthy Newborns Housein Covington bears hisname.

Medals and trophieshave come his way.Bridges also has quite thecollection of T-shirts,most of which he has hadmade into a blanket.

Although he is compet-itive, Bridges does thewalks for fun and to helpothers.

“I like doing this,” hesaid. “When I started this,I didn’t plan on setting theworld on fire, but it’s beena way to compete and giveback. It’s hard. I work at it.It’s also pretty nice. I al-ways feel really good af-ter a walk.”

Are you required to have an attorney to repre-sent you in family court? The answer is no; youare not required to acquire an attorney to rep-resent you. In fact, you are allowed to representyourself, an act often referred to as pro se (with-out an attorney).

However, often it is a good idea to hire an at-torney because that person can help you duringan otherwise confusing and emotional time. Theattorney can help:

1. Navigate the legal issues that arise.2. Is familiar with the local rules of the Court.3. Elicits the necessary evidence to prove your

side of the case.4. Help manage emotions.5. Make sure that your best interests are

always at the forefront and not clouded bythose emotions.

If you would like to speak to an attorney formore information, or for a free consulta-tion, please contact the Jaeger Firm, PLLC, at859-342-4500.

From the recentevents in Paris, France,and San Bernardino,California, talk of terror-ism and violence is thereevery time you turn on

the news.As hardas it isfor us asadults tomakesense ofthesesenselessacts, it’sevenharderfor chil-dren to

do so. Talking to yourchildren about terrorism,violence and war is noteasy, but it can go a longway in making them feelsafe, secure and loved.

Ways you can helpyour child will be differ-ent based on your child’sage, knowledge of thesituation and uniquepersonality.

Try to limit news foot-age of disturbing images,as these can cause in-creased anxiety and sad-ness, especially in young-er children. If you findyour child in front of thetelevision when disturb-ing footage is beingaired, remain calm andtry to take their attentionelsewhere. Possible di-versions include offeringto play with them, askingthem about their day orreading a book together.

Always be willing tolisten to and answer yourchild’s questions butrealize not every childwill want to talk aboutthe subject. Allow themto bring it up in their owntime. Don’t force chil-dren to talk about theevents until they areready.

When the subject isbrought up, try your bestto correctly and honestlyanswer your child’s ques-tions. Talk about thesubject in terms of“harmful acts” ratherthan “evil people,” as thiscan help minimizestereotypes of a partic-ular group of people.Remind children thatmost people are good anddo not believe acts ofviolence solve problems.Ask your child to remem-ber a specific momentwhen someone was kindto them or to your family.

While you can’t prom-ise your children thatthese events will neverhappen in their commu-nity or affect people theyknow, you can reassurethem that there are peo-ple who are doing theirbest to ensure their safe-ty – people like policeofficers, firemen andgovernment officials whowork to keep everyonesafe.

Villa Madonna Academy is a hidden gem cel-ebrating a distinguished history in the com-munity. Since 1904, students have been part of a Benedictine tradition honoring the values of scholarship, service, stewardship, hospitality, respect and prayer. These values form the cor-nerstone of the community – a community of Faith, Knowledge and Service continually grow-ing in academic and athletic excellence.

The Villa community partners with parents, from the very first meeting, to provide a student-centered learning environment that challenges each child to reach his or her fullest potential. Villa’s dedicated faculty and staff ignite a love of learning through a curriculum based on the interdependence of all academic disciplines. Our 9:1 student-to-teacher ratio allows for in-dividualized instruction to meet the academic needs of each student through all grades.

Villa Madonna’s students are prepared to be global citizens through a world language pro-gram that starts in kindergarten; an exciting, expanding STEM program; and an engaging arts program. Teachers incorporate technology at all grade levels through the use of iPads, Smart-boards, and computer classes to engage the stu-dents and expand the curriculum. Students in grades 6-12 benefit from a 1:1 iPad program al-lowing all students the advantage of technology to experience learning beyond textbooks and classroom walls. And yet, Villa Madonna’s com-mitment to excellence in reading and writing has students practicing cursive and diagram-ming sentences to help them become confident communicators.

The benefits of a Villa education are realized in the well-rounded education one receives. The tangible results of the program include stan-dardized test scores consistently well above the national average at each grade level, and the millions of dollars awarded annually to its grad-uating seniors. Beyond test scores and scholar-ship dollars, students who leave Villa Madonna’s impressive campus do so with a sense of belong-ing to something bigger. They are young men and women committed to giving back. Villa’s students in grades K-12 log thousands of service hours annually as they live the Benedictine val-ues that are an integral part of the Villa educa-tion.

Villa Madonna is also a recognized school on the court and on the field. The athletic program be-gins in elementary school, with approximately 80 percent student participation. Villa’s inclu-sive teams allow all students an opportunity to learn and play while still being competitive. Multiple high school teams have gone on to state and regional competition, and graduating stu-dent athletes often participate at the collegiate level.

Villa Madonna’s students come from all over the Tristate with diverse religious, academic, and cultural backgrounds. Yet all are welcomed and challenged in the unique education model.

If you are exploring options for your child’s ed-ucation, whether for kindergarten, junior high, high school, or somewhere in between, we invite you to visit Villa. For more information about the school, please visit villamadonna.org or con-tact Janet Baugh, director of admissions, at 859-331-6333 ext. 139 to schedule a personal tour.

With low temperatures andsnowy conditions around thestate, many Kentuckians couldbe exposed to harsh winter ele-ments. To prepare for these con-ditions, Kentucky Departmentfor Public Health (DPH) offi-cials are emphasizing the im-portance of limiting exposure tothe cold and taking other neces-sary steps to prevent hypother-mia.

Meanwhile, parents andcaregivers of infants are alsoadvised to follow safe sleeppractices to keep infants warm,in order to help prevent injuryor infant deaths.

“Cold weather creates nu-merous potential public healthconcerns including hypother-mia, carbon monoxide exposureand infant safety,” said Dr.Kraig Humbaugh, senior depu-ty commissioner for DPH. “Wehope all Kentuckians will takesome time to learn how to pre-vent these serious, and possiblyfatal, health threats.”

HypothermiaHypothermia occurs when

an individual’s body temper-ature drops below what is nec-essary to achieve normal me-tabolism and other bodily func-tions.

In severe cases or when thebody is not warmed properly,death can result.

People who aren’t sufficient-ly prepared for cold weather ex-posures are at an increased riskfor the condition. To prevent hy-pothermia, DPH advises thatKentuckians:

» Wear appropriate clothing.Layer clothes made of syntheticand wool fabrics, which are bestfor keeping warm. Always re-member to wear hats, coats,scarves and gloves.

» Avoid consuming alcoholif outdoors. Alcohol can actual-ly speed the loss of heat fromthe body.

» Avoid overexertion fromactivities that cause excessivesweat. This can lead to dampclothing, which causes chills.

» Stay as dry as possible.Individuals working outside

during this time of year shouldpay extra attention to theseguidelines, particularly thosesusceptible to overexertion.Symptoms of hypothermia in-clude shivering, altered speechpattern, abnormally slow rateof breathing, cold pale skin andlethargy. Seek medical atten-tion if you or a loved one experi-ences the signs of hypothermia.

Carbon monoxidepoisoning

Often, in times of heavysnow and ice, power outagescan occur and individuals mustutilize alternative heat sourcesto heat their homes, increasing

the possibility for exposure todangerous levels of carbonmonoxide. Items such as porta-ble generators, propane gasstoves and ovens heated withgasoline all have been used in-appropriately as indoor heatingsources, which can lead to car-bon monoxide poisoning as car-bon monoxide is a by-product ofburning carbon-based fuels.DPH advises taking steps toprevent carbon monoxide poi-soning by following guidelinesfrom the National Center forEnvironmental Health:

» Don’t use a generator,charcoal grill, camp stove orother gasoline or charcoal-burning device inside yourhome, basement or garage, ornear a window.

» Don’t run a car or truck in-side a garage attached to yourhouse, even if you leave the

door open.» Don’t burn anything in a

stove or fireplace that isn’tproperly vented.

» Don’t heat your house witha gas oven.

Carbon monoxide is a color-less, odorless gas. Seek immedi-ate medical attention if you sus-pect carbon monoxide poison-ing. Early symptoms includeheadache, nausea, vomiting andfatigue. Also be sure to install abattery-operated carbon mon-oxide detector in your home andreplace the battery when youchange the time on your clockseach spring and fall for daylightsavings time.

“Carbon monoxide poisoningis deadly and should be takenseriously,” said Dr. Humbaugh.“We urge Kentuckians to takesteps to prevent exposure tocarbon monoxide and avoid in-appropriate heating sources in-doors, such as propane heatersand charcoal grills. It can be amatter of life or death.”

If you are experiencingsymptoms of carbon monoxidepoisoning or if you have ques-tions, call the Kentucky Region-al Poison Control Center at (800)222-1222. For more informationabout preventing carbon mon-oxide poisoning, seehttp://www.cdc.gov/co/.

Infant safe sleepIn general, parents and care-

givers should follow the ABCsof safe sleep - Alone, on theirBack and in a Clean, Clear Crib.Winter months prevent a differ-ent – but very serious – threatfor babies when parents andcaregivers resort to using un-safe sleep practices in an effortto keep babies warm.

“We realize parents andcaregivers are often acting withgood intentions, but bed-shar-ing and using blankets or addedbedding to keep an infant warmare considered unsafe practices

and put a baby at risk for inju-ries and even death,” said Dr.Ruth Shepherd, director of theDPH Division of Maternal andChild Health. “Always followthe principles of safe sleep. Ifthe low temperatures are a con-cern, please follow these rec-ommended guidelines to keepyour baby warm – and safe – thiswinter.”

Here are a few tips to for safesleep during the winter:

» For added warmth, a babycan be dressed in a one-piecepajama or wearable blanket.Wearable blankets can be lay-ered over undershirts or onesie.Do not let a baby get too hot byoverdressing them or wrappingthem in heavy blankets.

» Keep the baby’s room at acomfortable temperature.Don’t overheat the room.

» Do not put a hat on your ba-by to sleep; there is a risk the hatcould slip down, covering thebaby’s face.

» If a blanket must be used tokeep a baby warm, make surethe baby’s feet are at the bottomof the crib and the blanket istucked in around the mattress.The blanket should be no higherthan the baby’s chest with thebaby’s arms out.

» Keep all portable heatersaway from the baby and baby’ssleep area. The baby can over-heat if too close to a heater, re-ceive burns or become tangledup in cords of small electricheaters.

More information about safesleep practices can be found atthe SafeSleep Kentucky web-sitehttp://www.safesleepky.org/.The information is part of astatewide campaign aimed atparents, caregivers, health careproviders, advocates and othersin the childcare community tostress the importance of safesleep practices in the preven-tion of infant deaths.

FLORENCE – Ken-tucky Senate PresidentRobert Stivers believestax reforms are needed tomaintain a healthy livingenvironment in the com-monwealth.

“We need to expand thetax base and increase op-portunities,” the LondonRepublican said. “Weneed to attract more busi-nesses and people into thestate.

“I don’t want to see thepeople in this room paymore taxes. I want to seemore people in the roomwho are paying taxes.”

Stivers spoke to theFlorence Rotary Club onOct. 19 about issues facingthe Kentucky General As-sembly next year. Amongthe most pressing are taxreform, pension reformand health care, he said.

Reforming tax policieswill encourage invest-ment, employability andeconomic growth, accord-ing to Stivers. To illus-trate, he pointed to achange in taxes on the

bourbon industry thatcost the state $12 millionin revenue but stimulated$750 million in invest-ment in expansion of theindustry.

“The net expansionwas good for the economyalthough we lost tax dol-lars,” Stivers said. “Agood business environ-ment is crucial to encour-age people to come to thestate.”

The state Senate presi-dent said it will take a bi-partisan effort to resolvethe commonwealth’s ex-tended pension liability.He estimated costs tomaintain the two state

pension systems collec-tively will rise by morethan $400 million a year.

“I’ve told people inboth houses (of the statelegislature) we need tomake some quick deci-sions to make ourselvescompetitive globally,” Sti-vers said.

Stivers called the Af-fordable Care Act, thefederal legislation to pro-vide health insurance toall U.S. citizens, “a laud-able effort, but it doesn’twork.” The KentuckyHealth Cooperative,which sold roughly 75 per-cent of the policies pur-chased through the state

insurance exchange,closed earlier this monthbecause it was losing somuch money.

More than 51,000 Ken-tuckians will lose theircoverage at the end of thecurrent enrollment peri-od, according to Stivers.The problem stems in partfrom how much the feder-al government pays pro-

viders, he said.Stivers estimated the

Kentuckians insured bythe Kentucky Health Co-operative will see theircosts increase 30 percentto 100 percent if theyswitch to a new providerin the Kynect health in-surance exchange. Healso predicted the ratesfor others insured

through the exchange willsee increases up to 30 per-cent.

“That’s not good forbusiness in the state,” Sti-vers said.
