REGIONAL CHAMPS1BAnsley Davenport leads NCC toovertime win.

School Administrators, Ken-tucky School Boards Associa-tion, Winbigler said.

Winbigler said state law dic-tates most of the procedures asearch committee and the boardhave to follow for hiring a newsuperintendent.

Pace recommended the

board oversee the search com-mittee process.

“You have the latitude tomake the final decision for theselection of the superintendentfor the Campbell County schoolsystem,” Pace said.

ALEXANDRIA - CampbellCounty Schools will pick a newsuperintendent without profes-sional guidance from outsidethe district.

Board of Education mem-bers unanimously decided at aJan. 11 meeting to oversee thesearch for a new superinten-dent without the assistance ofan outside consulting agency.

Board chairwoman and Dis-trict 1representative Janis Win-bigler said plans call for hiring a

new superintendent who canstart working July 1.

Donald W. Pace was hired bythe board Nov. 2 to take over asinterim superintendent throughJune 30. Former CampbellCounty Superintendent GlenMiller retired Nov. 1after beingplaced on administrative leavefor a month. Miller was arrest-ed by police Sept. 23 on domes-tic violence charges in Erlang-er.

Campbell County Schools,based in Alexandria, has about5,000 students. The district op-erates five elementary schools,

a high school, a middle schooland other alternative programs.The district has about 700 em-ployees and an operating bud-get of about $42 million.

“I think the board is capableof doing this in house,” District2 board member Gary Combssaid. “And because I’m confi-dent with that it can also savethe district anywhere from$8,000 to $10,000 by not using aservice outside the district.”

Kentucky law allows theboard to consider using profes-sional search consultant includ-ing the Kentucky Association of

FORT THOMAS - St. ThomasSchool’s new principal DeborahFlamm has brought a renewedfocus on science and technologyand teachings on world culture.

Flamm, formerly a teacherat St. Bernadette School in Ame-lia, brought in a new scienceteacher and arts teacher lastfall at the Catholic P-8 school inFort Thomas.

The school’s Science Tech-nology Engineering Art andMath (STEAM) program is partof preparing students to work ina global workforce, she said.

A robotics club has startedup at St. Thomas and a new for-eign student exchange programis being expanded underFlamm’s watch.

Some St. Thomas studentsare attending school in Costa Ri-ca this spring. Sending studentsoverseas is new after St. Thom-as hosted students from Ecua-dor in 2015 – the program’s inau-gural year.

Math and science is one wayto prepare students, she said.Teaching students details aboutother cultures and how people

are alike is also key, Flammsaid.

“It’s important that studentsunderstand it’s not just us,” shesaid. “It’s not just our neighbor-hood. It’s a bigger picture.”

St. Thomas has 180 studentsin grades K-8 and 53 preschoolstudents in a separate program.

Flamm said 52 percent of St.Thomas’ students are not fromFort Thomas.

Parent Matt Hollenkamp ofTaylor Mill, a member of theschool’s board, said he choosesto drive his children to FortThomas because of St. Thomas’strong curriculum.

Top-ranked public schools inFort Thomas receive a lot of at-tention, and rightly so, for ex-cellence, he said.

Flamm has brought an “awe-some energy” to St. Thomaswhere many great things arehappening, Hollenkamp said.

Key to some of the curricu-lum is a STEAM program heavyon science, math and the arts, hesaid.

“St. Thomas upholds that ex-cellence in education,” Hollen-kamp said.

What is STEAMeducation?

Championed by the Rhode IslandSchool of Design and a “STEAMCaucus” in Congress, a “STEM toSTEAM” initiative seeks to coupleart and design with the STEM sub-jects (science, technology, engineer-ing and math). “We need to add Art+ Design to the equation – to trans-form STEM into STEAM. STEM + Art= STEAM,” according to websitestemtosteam.org.

Winbigler said she hasexperience hiring a super-intendent as a teacherrepresentative and as aboard member for Camp-bell County in 2011 whenthey hired Miller.

“The board feels prettyconfident we will havesome excellent candi-dates apply,” she said.

Setting up a time line,developing criteria forthe position, and the proc-ess for picking the searchreview committee to

screen applicants stillneed to happen, Winbiglersaid.

The search reviewcommittee will include:

» Two teachers electedby district teachers.

» One school boardmember appointed by thechairperson (Winbigler).

» One principal elect-ed by district principals.

» One parent electedby the presidents of par-ent teacher organizationsat district schools.

» One classified em-ployee (non-teachingstaff) elected by districtclassified employees.

» If a minority mem-

ber is not elected, the dis-trict will have to add a mi-nority parent representa-tive if the district’s minor-ity population is greaterthan 8 percent.

Board vice chairmanand District 5 representa-tive Rich Mason saidschool board members,including himself, over-saw the superintendentsearch process when Mil-ler was hired in 2011.

“The board itself tookcare of all but just a fewdetails and I think itworked well,” Mason said,“I think we have a goodboard to work with.”

NORTHERN KENTUCKY RIGHT TO LIFE

On this anniversary of the infamous decision of the Supreme Court exercising its raw judicial power over the lives of the defenseless unborn, we join with a multitude of others in many cities across this nation, to carry the message of Life to President Barack Obama and to the 114th Congress. We join the over 100,000 people who marched in a circle of life around the capitol in Washington DC on January 22. As much as we would like to be there, for many it is impossible to travel to Washington. Again, we March on Paper. We openly lend our names to urge The adoption of a mandatory Human Life Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America. WE HAVE TAKEN A STAND! WE WILL NOT COMPROMISE! AND WE WILL BE HEARD!

HAVE WE FORGOTTEN WHAT AN ABORTION IS? A fi rst-trimester abortion is usually performed by suction and is known as an aspiration (or suction) abortion. In her book, Caught in the Crossfi re: A Year on Abortion’s Front Line, author Sue Hertz describes this type of abortion: “…the cervix is dilated with metal rods and a medical instrument called a cannula attached to a tube is inserted into the womb. The tube is attached on the other end to a suction machine, and when the machine turns on, the preborn baby is pulled out in pieces. “The dismembered body parts are sucked into a jar which sometimes has a cheesecloth sack to catch the fetal parts. The abortionist then scrapes the lining of the uterus to get out any pieces of the baby or placenta he may have missed. This is the most common abortion procedure in the United States.” Hertz described what the doctor did after the procedures: “… [the doctor] removed from the glass jar the cheesecloth sack which caught the fetal parts, dumping the parts into a basin at the end of the table, between [the patient’s] feet. ‘Two legs, two arms, two fi sts, a skull, a backbone, a placenta. We’ve got it,’ he announced. “The doctor needs to carefully search through the parts to make sure that every part of the baby has been removed. An arm or leg left behind could cause a terrible infection. In very rare, but horrifying cases, women have actually passed an arm or leg of their aborted child that was left inside them days after the abortion.”

A Change of Heart Graduating from medical school in 1976, Dr. Anthony Levatino, an OB/GYN, not only supported the so-called right of a woman to abort her child, but also was willing to proudly devote part of his practice doing fi rst- and second-trimester abortions. Struggling with fertility, Levatino and his wife decided to adopt, but soon discovered how diffi cult it was to adopt a newborn. “It was the fi rst time that I had any doubts about what I was doing because I knew very well that part of the reason why it’s diffi cult to fi nd children to adopt is that doctors like me were killing them in abortions,” stated Levatino, in an article published by LiveActionNews. In 1978, Dr. Levatino and his wife were fortunate to adopt Heather, after which they soon discovered that his wife was pregnant, and they had a son 10 months later. In June, 1984, the tragedy all parents dread occurred. Heather was hit by a car. “She was a mess,” he explained. “We did everything we possibly could. But she ultimately died, literally in our arms, on the way to the hospital that evening.” The fi rst D&E procedure after the accident, he describes: “I started that abortion, and I took that sopher clamp, and I literally ripped out an arm or a leg, and I just stared at it in the clamp. And I got sick. But you know something, when you start an abortion, you can’t stop. If you don’t get all the pieces - and you literally stack them up on the side of the table […] your patient is going to come back infected, bleeding, or dead. So I soldiered on, and I fi nished that abortion.” Feeling a change of heart, the doctor continued:

He ceased performing abortions.May God bless little Heather and her parents.

For the fi rst time in my life, after all those years, all those abortions, I really looked, I mean I really looked at that pile of goo on the side of the table that used to be somebody’s son or daughter, and that’s all I could see. I couldn’t see what a great doctor I was being. I didn’t see how I helped this woman in her crisis. I didn’t see the 600 dollars cash I had just made in 15 minutes. All I could see was somebody’s son or daughter. And after losing my daughter, this was looking very, very different to me.

FORT THOMAS – YMCA’sin Campbell and Boone coun-ties are in the midst of a fit-ness programs youth kick.

Campbell County YMCA inFort Thomas and R.C. DurrYMCA in Burlington eachadded boutique fitness classesincluding kickboxing and bal-let-inspired barre body andmuscle shaping classes.

In-Trinity, in which peoplework out on an incline slantboard, is the newest class add-ed at the YMCAs in Fort Thom-as and Burlington.

“We are the first Y in theworld to offer In-Trinity andthe first location outside ofCalifornia to offer it in NorthAmerica,” said Kathy Lehr,spokeswoman for the YMCA ofGreater Cincinnati.

Lehr said R.C. Durr has anew MyRide cycling classesthat integrates music with aninstructor and a virtual desti-nation. It brings a new dimen-sion to the cycling experience,Lehr said.

New ClimbMills stepmachines have been added atR.C. Durr and MyRide, Lehrsaid.

The YMCA is trying to bemore innovative and is bring-

ing in new programs, ToddHensel, membership experi-ence director at CampbellCounty, said of In-Trinity.“We’re going to be one of thefirst organizations in the areato offer that program.

“We want to be not onlytracking families, but alsoyounger adults who are intothose boutique style classes.”

TRX, a course started morethan a year ago, uses suspen-sion training developed by the

military, Hensel said. Pilates,Zumba and cardio and strengthtraining, and gentle yoga areother classes available.

A class called ResistanceIntervals Power Plyometricsand Endurance (R.I.P.P.E.D.) isone of the more challengingnew classes added last year,Hensel said.

“It’s a one-stop body shock,”he said.

Katie Steffen, 34, of FortThomas, takes barre classes

regularly at the YMCA.“I like it,” Steffen said. “It’s

an all-over body workout.” Barre instructor Gayla

Hawkes leads classes of wom-en in a series of stretchingmotions across a room withwood floors and a wall of mir-rors.

Low impact is the barregoal, Hawkes said.

“It’s core and lower-bodywork making long and leanmuscles instead of shortstocky muscles,” she said.

Campbell County YMCAFitness Coordinator NickHeiss teaches fitness bootcamp and cycling classes andprovides personal trainingsessions.

Heiss said he meets withpeople of all ages in individualsessions usually lasting abouthalf an hour.

“We go over their goals andfitness needs,” he said.

For older adults there areSilver Sneakers classes. Tradi-tional youth sports and swim-ming classes haven’t goneanywhere, Hensel said. Byadding more classes for youngworking professionals theYMCA is offering somethingfor everyone, he said.

“We don’t want to be knownas just a swimming gym,”Hensel said.

Heroin overdoses inundatedSt. Elizabeth emergency roomsin 2015, ending with 1,168 casesof reversed overdoses com-pared with 745 the year before.

But the year-over-year jump,at nearly 57 percent, is justmore of the same to emergencystaff.

“We’re definitely feeling theimpact, but I don’t think, afterwhat we’ve seen before, wewere surprised,” said AshelKruetzkamp, nurse managerfor St. Elizabeth Edgewoodemergency department.

“We know that there’s a lot tobe done in the community.”

St. Elizabeth released its2015 report to The Enquirer lastweek. It illustrates the rise inheroin overdoses the emergen-cy staff turned around with thelife-saving drug naloxonethrough the years.

Every year since 2011, whenKruetzkamp took it upon her-self to track the overdose saves,the hospital system has seengrowing numbers of peoplecoming in overdosed.

The emergency staff only

ing and failing at treatment. Jim Thaxton, coordinator for

the Northern Kentucky HeroinImpact Response Task Force,noted that fewer overdose pa-tients were taken to emergencyrooms in November and De-cember of 2014 than in 2015. Hesaid it’s too early to tell whetherthat decline will continue.

But over theyears, the hospital emergencyrooms averaged 62 heroin over-doses per month in 2014 and 97per month in 2015.

There is also indication thatmore people are using based onwho the hospital sees.

“There are new users of her-oin every day,” in the emergen-cy rooms, Kruetzkamp said.

Last year, St. Elizabeth start-ed giving away a naloxone res-cue kit to every patient saved inits emergency rooms. The hos-pital has continued to providetreatment resource guides, butit’s unclear how many patientsare using the services – or try-

INDEPENDENCE –The Ohio Kentucky Indi-ana (OKI) Regional Boardof Governments hasadopted an improvementplan for Ky. 536.

This segment of theroadway, between Ky. 17and the Kenton and Camp-bell County line, is theonly remaining section ofthe entire corridor that

does not have a preferredalternative or improve-ment plan in place. In2015, the Ky. 536 ScopingStudy was launched.

The study’s projectmanager, Robyn Ban-croft, said in accordancewith the public’s respons-es, the project develop-ment team recommendedthe off-alignment optionto the board on Jan. 14.

“I truly believe that theentire KY 536 Scoping

Study process has result-ed in a recommendationthat balances the con-cerns of local propertyowners who will be mostdirectly impacted by fu-ture improvements withthe transportation needsof region at large,” Ban-croft said. “It has been anhonor working with citi-zens, business owners andofficials in Northern Ken-tucky to conduct and com-plete the study.”

The off-alignment al-ternative follows the ex-isting Ky. 536 east fromKy. 17 and shifts north on-to a new segment as it ap-proaches Ky. 16, redirect-ing traffic north ofWhite’s Tower Elemen-tary School to realign withKy. 536 near MaverickRoad.

It follows the existingroadway until 1/2 milewest of StaffordsburgRoad, where it turns north

onto a new alignment thatconnects directly with theexisting Visalia Bridge.This alternative isplanned as a three-laneroad, a single lane travel-ing in either direction anda lane in the middle to as-sist with turns, betweenKy. 17 and StaffordsburgRoad.

From StaffordsburgRoad to the CampbellCounty line, the alterna-tive would become a two-

lane road with the excep-tion of a climbing lanethat would be constructedto assist trucks travelingwestward from Ky. 17.

To accommodate bik-ers, walkers and runners,Bancroft said this alterna-tive also includes 8-footmultiuse paths on bothsides of Ky. 536 from Ky.17 to Ky. 16. East of Ky. 16,a 10-foot multiuse path isincluded as part of this al-ternative.

PUZZLE ANSWERS


Remember last week when Iwas harvesting greens frommy window boxes? Well, withthe thermometer reading 6degrees this morning, I don’thave to tell you that I won’t beharvesting any more greens

from them.Oh well, be-

fore too long I’llbe thumbingthrough the seedcatalogs whicharrive daily,thinkingthoughts ofspring. Yes, it’s along way off, butSuper Bowl isn’t.I wanted to

share a couple of fun and yum-my recipes to make your SuperBowl party memorable, re-gardless of whose team wins!

We always have a big crowdat our house, and it’s a traditionfor me to make homemadeglazed donuts. That recipe,with photos of happy little souschefs, is on myAbouteating.com site.

Guru in our backyard:Greg’s 2 ingredientbuttermilk ranch wings

I met Greg Grisanti,Frisch’s chef for research anddevelopment, at a veterans’garden event last summer. Wefound we had many similarinterests when it comes tofood. We both like to gardenand experiment with naturalfoods.

Greg lives in Clermont

County with his family and is agraduate of St. Xavier HighSchool. He went on to becomea classically trained chef atJohnson & Wales University.Alumni include Tyler Florenceand Emeril Lagasse, both ofwhom I’ve worked with, and Iput Greg right up there withthem, talent wise. He’s lots offun to cook with, and humble,too.

“I prefer to call myself agood cook,” he said. His re-search knowledge shows in therecipes he develops and finetunes for the restaurants. Likeusing real lard in their pies andmaking 80 percent of theiritems from scratch.

Greg was a guest on mycable show and he featuredrecipes made with Frisch’singredients. I wanted partyfood that was easy and delish.We were both happy with thesewings, which I’m now addictedto. I think you’ll be making

them often, too. You’ll use twoout of three of the wing parts.Here’s my slight adaptation.

3 dozen or so chicken wings,cut into 3’s (save small pointedwing joint for stock)

16 ounce jar of Frisch’sbuttermilk ranch dressing

Optional add-ins: chipotlepepper sauce, ground cayenne,garlic

Preheat oven to 375.Place wings in a 2 gallon

baggie. Pour in dressing,squeeze air out, and seal. Gent-ly massage bag to incorporatedressing with wings. Marinatefor several hours in the refrig-erator; overnight is best. Re-move wings from bag and putin a colander to remove excessdressing. (Now I did not re-move the dressing; I justpoured the wings in a singlelayer on a baking sheet). Placewings on sprayed cookie sheetand bake 40 minutes or so,depending on the size of thewings, until cooked through

and golden brown.Serve with Frisch’s blue

cheese dressing as a dippingsauce along with celery sticksif you like.

Baked jalapeno poppersPerfect party food with a

spicy bite. A perennial fave.1 pound nice size jalapenos,

halved and seededFilling:8 ounces cream cheese1 cup shredded sharp ched-

dar1 cup shredded Jack cheese6 bacon strips, cooked crisp

and crumbled1/2 teaspoon garlic powderSalt to tasteBreadcrumbs, regular or

PankoPreheat oven to 325. Blend

everything but breadcrumbstogether. Put about 2 table-spoons into each half and rollin crumbs. Place on sprayedbaking pan and bake for 20 to35 minutes. The longer you

bake them, the milder theybecome.

Watch Rita cut and seed hotpeppers: Check my YouTubevideo.

Readers want to knowNatural and Dutch cocoa -

what’s the diff?Without getting too tech-

nical, the difference is acid.Natural cocoa powder: the

more common one, is cocoathat does not have its acidstripped. It’s a light cocoa colorwith a bitter flavor.

Dutch processed/alkalized:is a darker color due to a potas-sium solution that neutralizesthe acidity. It has a mellower,less bitter flavor.

A10 • FORT THOMAS RECORDER • JANUARY 21, 2016

While our main responsibil-ity this 60-day session rests with

creating thestate’s nexttwo-yearspending plan,each meetingof the Ken-tucky GeneralAssemblybrings with it avigorous dis-cussion of is-sues, both oldand new. This2016 session is

no exception.For almost 15 years, the leg-

islature has considered legisla-tion that would expunge the le-gal records of certain low-levelfelony offenders who havemoved forward on the rightpath without further offensesor violations. Often, what be-gins as a youthful mistake forthese individuals becomes a lifesentence as opportunities foremployment, education and

housing disappear with the ac-knowledgment of a past felonyconviction.

The expungement issueseems to be gaining more trac-tion this year, as several of mycolleagues in the House major-ity continue their dedicated ef-forts on this front, while attract-ing additional support from newGov. Matt Bevin and such or-ganizations as the KentuckyChamber of Commerce, theCatholic Conference of Ken-tucky, Kentucky Council ofChurches, and the KentuckyCenter for Economic Policy.

House Bill 40, sponsored byHouse Judiciary Chairman Dar-ryl Owens of Louisville, co-sponsored by myself and sever-al others, would allow expunge-ment of Class D felonies with in-put from all affected parties in-cluding any victims. It wouldexclude, however, the opportu-nity for expungement for any-one who has multiple felonyconvictions, a sex crime, or a

crime against a child or an el-derly person. After being a law-abiding citizen for five years, anindividual can have a secondchance for a good job and a goodlife.

The bill was approved over-whelmingly – as it has in yearspast – by the full House. Afteran 80-11 vote, House Bill 40 nowheads to the Senate, where it hasrepeatedly failed to gain ap-proval.

Supporters say delaying ap-proval of the bill keeps morethan 100,000 Kentuckians fromgetting a second chance, andcurtails job growth at a timewhen the need for qualified,skilled workers continues tosurge.

It’s completely unfathom-able to me how anyone couldabuse a child, but unfortunately,many sessions find us consider-ing legislation that tightens ef-forts to protect our youngestcitizens. House Bill 109, spon-sored by Rep. Joni Jenkins,

Louisville, would permit courtsto accommodate a child’s mem-ory of repeated abuse, known asa continuous course of conduct.

According to KentuckyYouth Advocates, many chil-dren who have experienced re-peated abuse over time havedifficulty remembering the de-tails of each specific incident ofabuse. Currently, Kentuckycourts require detailed infor-mation for a jury to agree on atleast one specific incident ofchild abuse to find the accusedguilty. This legislation, whichpassed on the House floor by a91-0 vote, would help accommo-date a child’s more generalizedtestimony of abuse and recog-nize the effects age and traumacan have on a child’s memory.House Bill 109 now moves to theSenate for action.

Health issues are a commontopic each session, and just thisweek, the House Committee onHealth and Welfare approvedlegislation that would open the

door for many underinsuredKentuckians to receive coloncancer screenings.

House Bill 115, sponsored byHouse Health and WelfareCommittee Chair Tom Burch ofLouisville, would expand cur-rent law that limits screeningsunder the state’s Colon CancerScreening Program to includeuninsured Kentuckians be-tween the ages of 50-64 or unin-sured persons deemed at highrisk for the disease.

These are just some of thebills we’ve begun to considerthis time around. As we con-tinue I hope that you will con-tact me with your questions orconcerns either by e-mail [email protected] orcalling the Legislative MessageLine toll-free at 1-800-372-7181.

Last week’s questionWhat changes, if any, would

you make to the primary system(or in the case of Kentucky Repub-licans, their new caucus system)for choosing presidential candi-dates?

“Not necessarily limited tothe primary system, rather ourentire election system, I wouldmake the whole thing shorter.My proposal would state that the‘election cycle’ will start no morethan three months prior to theelection. One week to register asa candidate, one week to BS thepublic via media, two weeks tohold the primaries (all of them),

two months to further state yourcase to the voting public includ-ing one debate per month, oneday off and then the election isheld. One additional refinementto this incredibly practical plan

would be that political ads wouldbe run on one special channelonly, 24/7. If people want to hearall the BS they can choose to turnon that channel for enlighten-ment.

“Oh, two more terrific refine-ments that I know you will love,they are beautiful: 1) Term lim-its. Two terms and done, then goget a real job like the rest of us. 2)No pensions, no continued salaryfor life, no special health careprogram other than those of-fered to common folks. It iscalled public service for a rea-son.”

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONWhat do you make of Gov. MattBevin’s plan to dismantle kynect,Kentucky’s health exchange?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers to [email protected] Ch@troom in the subject line.

With another New Yearcomes a new, busy legisla-tive session in the KentuckyGeneral Assembly. This

week Ihave beenfocused onlegislationthat re-peals theprevailingwage re-quirementfor schooldistricts.The pre-vailingwage is the

hourly base wage and fringerate paid to workers and la-borers when working onpublic works projects thatare estimated to cost morethan $250,000.

On Tuesday, I spoke be-fore the Senate Appropria-tions and Revenue Commit-tee on Senate Bill (SB) 9,which would eliminate therequirements to pay work-ers a regional prevailingwage on publicly fundedschool construction pro-jects. The bill, which is sup-ported by the school super-intendents across the com-monwealth, successfullypassed through committeewith only one “nay” vote.

Repealing the prevailingwage for construction ofany elementary, secondary,or postsecondary educationbuildings and facilities isimportant for our entirecommonwealth, but it willalso have a serious impact inmy home region of North-ern Kentucky.

SB 9 will help significant-ly reduce the cost of schoolconstruction. A recent Leg-islative Research Commis-sion study found that pre-vailing wage requirementsincreased labor costs for asample of school projects by51 percent relative to whatlabor costs would have been

if workers were paid thesame rate they earn on pri-vate construction projects.The fiscal analysis of SB 9,prepared by Commissionstaff, indicates that exempt-ing school constructionfrom the prevailing wagewould reduce elementaryand secondary constructioncosts by approximately 7.9percent.

While prevailing wagelaws result in higher wages,they do not ensure that high-er quality workers arehired. Sixty percent of theworkers on school projectssampled by staff were paidmore on prevailing wageprojects than they earned onprivate projects. However,in these cases, workers’wages were increased with-out an equivalent increasein quality. In fact, despitewhat the critics say, I haveyet to see a study that showsthat paying the prevailingwage will result in a betterquality construction.

Also, SB 9 will allowschool districts to build newschools and remodel exist-ing schools without placingan additional financial bur-den on Kentucky taxpayers.Repealing the prevailingwage would also provide ad-ditional funding for othercrucial needs, such as fund-ing teachers’ salaries andaddressing our pensionshortfall.

The commonwealth’schildren deserve the best,and they deserve the bestwe can provide now. Bypassing Senate Bill 9, wewill allow more to be donefor our students and teach-ers for a lower cost and withno change in the quality ofthe overall projects.

Did you know that every localstream has a story? These sto-ries tell us why our streams arein good, poor or even ever-evolv-

ing states andprovide cluesabout how to im-prove and pre-serve them.

A team of en-vironmental sci-ence experts atSanitation Dis-trict No. 1 (SD1)works hard tolearn these sto-ries and usesthem in our ef-

forts to enhance and protectNorthern Kentucky by provid-ing reliable waste water andstorm water management ser-vices.

Starting this month, 13 highschool juniors from Bellevue,Dayton, Holmes, Ludlow, New-port and Walton-Verona willmeet with SD1 employeesmonthly until their senior gradu-ation. In these meetings, stu-dents will learn how unfoldingsuch stories are vital to our re-gion’s success. They’ll explore avariety of environmental sci-ence careers. And, most impor-

tantly, they’ll discover moreabout their valuable purpose inour community – an opportunitymade possible through the col-laboration of three organizations– SD1, NaviGo and Skyward –that believe in empowering ouryouth.

The 13 students who’ll meetwith a NaviGo Coach and SD1scientists are part of a NaviGoScholars Futures program fo-cused on environmental science.Started by Tim Hanner, NaviGooffers students everything fromcareer and academic coaching tocompany matches for real-lifework experiences like the onewith SD1.

Through the program NaviGois linking these students to envi-ronmental science professionalsworking at SD1. While learningabout our community and the ca-reers that exist within the envi-ronment sciences realm, theywill have exposure to hands-onlearning and the real-life com-munity challenges SD1 faces.Long term, they are buildinglasting mentorship networksthat will help propel their ca-reers forward when the timecomes for them to enter theworkforce.

Helping to make this experi-ence possible is Skyward, thegroup behind Northern Kentuck-y’s strategic plan. Skyward’spresident, William Scheyer, sawthis collaboration as a way toconnect students with experts intheir fields of interest, and ulti-mately feed the local workforcepipeline. It has been shown thatstudents who find their purpose,and map out a path for fulfillingit, not only thrive themselves butalso help our community thrive.

What if we all had experi-enced something similar to theNaviGo Futures program in highschool to help us better connectwith our purpose? Where wouldwe be today? How would North-ern Kentucky be different? SD1,NaviGo and Skyward are pas-sionate about helping students ofall ages – whether in or out ofschool – explore and discovertheir purpose and you can helptoo. If you would like to get in-volved, I encourage you to visitnavigoprep.com to learn more.It’s never too late to help a stu-dent discover their purpose.

FT. THOMAS - Slow startsare nothing new for Highlandsboys basketball, but the Blue-birds intend to turn thingsaround in late January and buildmomentum into February.

The Bluebirds snapped aseven-game skid with a winover Dayton on Jan. 16 to im-prove to 3-9 on the season.

“Our kids understand thatthe season is a process and thatit’s about growing and gettingbetter every day,” said coachKevin Listerman. “Momentumis really the perception youhave about yourself and yoursituation. Our kids know that weare improving even if it doesn’tshow up in the win column.”

Seven of the team’s ninelosses have come by single dig-its. One easily recognizablearea of improvement is freethrow shooting. The Bluebirdsare hovering at just above 50percent from the line. Gettingto the charity stripe more fre-quently and converting oncethey are there could turn someof those narrow defeats into vic-tories.

“We have to make winningplays at the end of games, par-ticularly at the free throw line,”said Listerman. “We know thatwe can compete with very goodteams, but our margin for turn-ing those games around is slim.If we can relax and stay in themoment, we will give ourselvesthe opportunity to win thosegames and that’s all you really

want.”The Bluebirds have been

able to keep games close thanksin large part to the emergenceof a pair of juniors seeing theirfirst significant varsity action.Kyle Finfrock and Luke La-Frange are the team’s leadingrebounders. Finfrock is a forcein the post and opens up the restof the offense.

“Kyle has given us a pres-ence in the middle that wehaven’t had in the last twoyears,” said Listerman. “He de-mands a lot of attention fromother teams.”

LaFrange’s breakout seasonwas evident before the seasoneven began. He led the teamduring offseason conditioningand preseason workouts. Thatextra effort has translated ontothe court, where LaFrange hasshown improvement on bothends of the court. He is theteam’s top three-point shooter,leading the team in attemptsand hitting them at over a 40-percent clip.

“I am excited for him to seehis work paying off this year,”said Listerman. “His improve-ment has been a real bonus forus, especially his ability to shootthe ball from the three-pointline.”

The Bluebirds are led bytheir seniors. Mitch Cain is theonly scorer averaging in doublefigures. Along with classmatesBo Hebel, Nick Kendall, Chan-dler New, and Jared Dougherty,Cain provides leadership that

HEBRON – Althoughthey’re not related, JimHicks has been friendswith Jim Hicks since theywere both in high school.A year apart in age, JimHicks and Jim Hicks wereonce in the same class atNorthern Kentucky Uni-versity.

Now, Jim Hicks andJim Hicks are both headcoaches of boys basket-ball programs in the area,and Jim Hicks faced offagainst Jim Hicks for thesecond straight seasonJan. 13 at Conner. High-lands graduate Jim Hicksbrought his Bellevue Ti-gers to Hebron to meetthe Conner Cougars ofConner graduate JimHicks.

Before the game, JimHicks and Jim Hicksstood together and chat-ted at midcourt whiletheir players were warm-ing up, then the coachesgave scouting reports oneach other.

“We struggle to score.

Defensively, we’re prettysound,” said Bellevue’sHicks of his team. “I lovetheir team. The pressurethey put on people, theycan get after you. We willhave our hands full.”

Conner’s Hicksjumped right in in re-sponse.

“He says that as he hadthe lead on St. Henry lastnight after two,” he said.“Don’t let him snowballyou. His teams are alwayswell-coached. They al-ways battle until the end.”

Ultimately, both JimHicks and Jim Hicks werecorrect as the Cougarspulled away for a 66-42win over the Tigers. Con-ner, a much bigger schoolin Division I of the North-ern Kentucky AthleticConference, trapped andpressed the Tigers in fullcourt, and used their sizeand quickness to make itdifficult for Bellevue toget good looks at the bas-ket. Conner led 32-18 athalftime and improved to11-3 overall.

Michael Scott led Con-ner with 15 points and

Cameron Chase pacedBellevue with 14.

Bellevue fell to 6-8. TheTigers have two losses inDivision III of the NKACand have six defeats tobigger schools.

“We’ve known eachother for a long time,”Bellevue’s Hicks said. “Igraduated from High-lands. He was a year be-hind me here at Conner.We said we’ll have the JimHicks Classic.”

Former BluebirdHicks is on the Bellevuebench for his fifth season.Former Cougar Hicks isat his 13th season leadinghis alma mater.

A third man with thesame name was the headcoach at Grant County forthree seasons from 2011-13. The other two coachesdidn’t have a prior rela-tionship with him.

Bellevue’s Hicks tookhis Tigers to Grant Coun-ty in 2012 and 2013 forgames. Conner scheduledGrant for the 2013-14 sea-son but the Cougars men-tor didn’t get to face offwith his namesake there

before he left. The otherJim Hicks is now the headcoach at Shelby Valley ineastern Kentucky.

“We were trying to findone more and have a four-way tournament but itdidn’t work out,” the Con-ner coach joked. He said

the Conner/Bellevuegame is a fun night. “(Thenames) kind of got our in-terest but it’s two goodbasketball programs. Wethought, why not playeach other.”

Bellevue was set toplay rival Dayton in the

first round of the NinthRegion All “A” Tourna-ment Jan. 18. Conner, 2-1in 33rd District seedingplay, was set to finish dis-trict play this week, goingon the road to play at RyleJan. 22, Cooper Jan. 26and Boone County Jan. 29.

The Cougars’ Hicks ex-pects leading scorerSpencer Hemmerich toreturn from injury thisweek for that crucialstretch.

“Our team is strug-gling to find an identity alittle bit,” the coach said.“We lost our leading scor-er and we have some guysplaying minutes whohaven’t always played alot. The kids work hard.”

Both coaches havecome a long way fromtheir NKU days.

“We didn’t realize bothof us were going intocoaching, then we both be-came head coaches,” Con-ner’s Hicks said. “I knewhe was going to do a greatjob. He always has histeams well-prepared.They play hard.”

“Our seniors havebeen great leaders. Theyare tremendous compet-itors, and their will, theirenergy and their focushave been contagious,”said Listerman. “Theyhave done a great job ofpicking each other upand show the underclass-man how to keep fight-ing.”

Sophomores guardsJacob Noe and BradenPosey and juniors Brad-ley Greene and MorganRace have been contrib-uting significant min-utes. Their experiencewill help Highlands buildfor the future. But first,they want to send theseniors off on a highnote.

“We have been doingvery good things as agroup but weren’t finish-ing games with winningplays. We did thatagainst Dayton andhopefully we can learnhow to close out gamesfrom this point for-ward,” said Listerman.“Each game is a newchallenge. We learn fromthe past, focus on the

present, and try to stayin the moment at hand.We want to continue to

grind and be playing ourbest come district tour-nament time.”

Luke LaFrange of Highlands drives the lane against Daytonat home Jan. 16.

Davenport’s late bas-kets lifted the Thorough-breds to an 11-point leadearly in the fourth quar-ter. She had a basket andtwo free throws to startthe extra session. The In-dians never got closerthan three points until thefinal seconds.

Sophomore LexyBreen sparked a second-quarter uprising for theThoroughbreds. She hadeight points during a 13-3run to close the period, in-cluding a pair of 3-point-ers. Breen led all playerswith 10 points in the half.

Holy Cross led 16-10with five minutes to go inthe half and had a layupopportunity to build aneight-point lead. Itmissed. NewCath sprint-ed on the fastbreak andOlivia Schalk broke freefor a layup. Breen scoreda bucket to make it 16-14,then scored on a 3-pointerin transition to give theThoroughbreds the leadat 17-16.

The Indians led by asmany as seven in the firsthalf at 11-4. DajahMcClendon had fivepoints in the opening runand Zyah Beal four.

NCC came back withjumpers from freshmanKara Zimmerman and Da-venport to trail by three,11-8 after one period.Freshman guard OliviaCrigler pushed the leadback to six with a 3-point-er to spark the Indians to a14-8 advantage early inthe second period.

After halftime, NCCled 27-22 before Bealscored four straightpoints to cut the lead toone at 27-26, the last com-ing on a transition basket.

Davenport then wentto work, scoring eightstraight points bridgingthe third and fourth quar-ters to give NewCath itslargest lead at 11, 39-28.HC came right back with a9-1 run, five of those com-ing from Aleah Tuckerand four from McClen-don, and it was 40-37.

“(Davenport) did havea slow first half,” NCChead coach George Stollsaid. “Games like this, ifyou want to win gamesagainst good teams, yourbest players have to stepup, and she did. She made

a lot of tough shots. I’m soproud of her. She de-served it.”

The teams tradedpoints and it was 42-39.McClendon missed athree and Davenportscored in transition topush the lead back to fiveat 44-39.

McClendon made twofree throws with 1:35 leftto make it 44-41.

NCC turned it over butHC missed a jumper, thenNCC turned it over again.Tucker drew a foul intransition with 1:01 to goand made both freebies ,and NCC led 44-43.

Davenport made twofree throws with 57 sec-onds to go. Tucker misseda three. Crigler’s putbackattempt missed, but NCCturned it over on the otherend and the Indians gotthe ball back with 30 sec-onds to go, down three.

McClendon hit a 3-pointer from the wing totie it, and NCC called atimeout with six secondsto go. They gave the ball toDavenport, who droveinto the lane and put up afloater, but it rimmed outat the buzzer, and OT en-sued.

Stoll’s message to histeam entering the extra

session was simple.“That was fun,” Stoll

said. “After McClendonhit that three, we were alittle down. I told them Ilove basketball. This isfun . This is why you playgames like this. I wouldn’twant to be with anyoneelse right now. They gotfired up then and cameout on top.”

Davenport, the onlysenior on the team, takesthat responsibility toheart. She scored her1,000th career point in aquarterfinal win overDayton Jan. 13.

“It’s important, keep-ing my teammates up-beat,” she said. “I justwant to be the rock for myteam and get them tostate.”

With such a youngteam around Davenport,the head coach has beenstressing daily improve-ment.

“I don’t know what ev-eryone thought we woulddo this year, but we al-ways have high expecta-tions that we set for our-selves,” Stoll said. “Wejust want to get better ev-ery day and if that meanswe win the region, we winthe region. We just want toget better every day.”

SHOPPING HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER.Find&Save helps you find the best sales at your favorite local stores and malls. Start saving now! findnsave.cincinnati.com

Many of us start theNew Year with the in-tentions to make this

year dif-ferent.

Al-though weare just afew weeksinto theNew Year,we haveprobablyalreadyfound thatunfortu-

nately, good intentionsalone will not lead to achange. To be successfulyou need to develop aplan. A New Year’s reso-lution is simply a goal.

As with any goal, thefirst step is to write itdown. It can be as simpleas one to three sentencesthat address what youwant to accomplish andwhen you want to ac-complish it. Make certainyour resolution is attain-able. Many of us maywant to win the lottery,but this is not somethingthat is realistic for most,so make certain yourgoal is within reach.

Post your goal in avisible place that willserve as a daily reminderto what you are workingtoward.

Next, develop a gameplan. What steps do youneed to take to accom-plish your goal? If yourgoal is pay off a specificamount on your creditcards, how much do youneed to save per month?Identify areas where youcan reduce other ex-penses to have the addi-tional money to pay on

your credit cards. Canyou set up automaticpayments to make iteasier?

There is no doubtmany New Year’s resolu-tions fail due to unfore-seen obstacles. Take afew minutes to identifythe obstacles which maylimit your success. Iden-tifying potential obsta-cles before they occurmay help you develop agame plan to overcomethe obstacle.

Think about how youmight avoid the obstacleor what resources youhave to overcome theobstacle. For example, ifyour resolution is to re-duce your credit carddebt, maybe your firststep should be to save asmall emergency fund,such as $500 or $1,000, sothat when a financialobstacle occurs, you canuse cash instead of yourcredit card.

Track your progressand recognize small ac-complishments as youachieve them. Do not feeldiscouraged if you needto rework your gameplan. The most importantthing is to not give up. Ifyou miss a milestone orhave a minor setback,take the opportunity tolearn. What went wrong?What could you havedone differently? Usethis information to re-write your plan of actionto help you stay on trackto accomplishing yourfinancial goals.

harvests and earlierplanting and harvestingof fresh produce. You canbuild (or purchase) a coldframe or hotbed any timeof year. The sooner youstart, the sooner you canreap the benefits.

A hotbed is just a coldframe with some addedsource of heat in the soil.Therefore, it can be used

Question: What is theadvantage of having acold frame? Is it too latein the winter to start one?

Answer: A cold frameallows you to extend thegardening season andenjoy fresh vegetables attimes when others with-out a cold frame couldnot. A hotbed provideseven longer extended

in lower temper-atures, eventhrough the win-ter. If you alreadyhad a cold frameor hotbed that youplanted in last fall,you could be en-joying fresh let-tuce, spinach,radishes, cabbage,broccoli, cauli-flower, onions andsnow peas.

As spring approaches,you can start early plant-ings of warm-seasoncrops like tomatoes andpeppers, melons andsquash in the hotbed orcold frame. They arekept inside the structureuntil after the last frost.They will be sturdierplants than if they werejust grown inside underlights. You can put aremote thermometersensor inside the hotbedso you know when toventilate it (when the airtemperature gets above65 degrees inside theframe). You can also buyremote opener units thatautomatically ventilatethe hotbed or cold frameat a certain temperature.Heating cables in the soilof a hotbed are controlledby a thermostat, so thesoil can be kept at anytemperature. For seedgermination, you’ll wantthe soil temperature atabout 80 degrees, but thiscan be lowered to 70 forgrowth of the plants.

Be sure to keep theseedlings watered with asprinkling can, and fertil-ize with a liquid fertilizeronce they get their firsttrue leaves. The onlylimiting factor throughthe winter is light, so

clear plastic orglass must be usedfor the top of thecold frame orhotbed. Side wallscan be built fromtreated 2 by 12lumber. Since youneed to be able toreach the centerof the plantingarea from one orboth sides, de-

pending on whether ornot the lid is attached andhinged, the size of thecold frame will probablyonly be 3-5 feet fromfront to back, but can beas long as you want it tobe. Overall size should bein multiples of the size ofwindows or rigid, clearplastic you will use tocover the top.

Keep in mind you’llhave to open all thosewindows every sunnyday, and close them againin the eveningto ventilateand release excess heat.During milder spells, youcan just leave a 0.5- to1-inch gap on two sides oraround the top for venti-lation

The structure shouldbe on a southern slope ina sunny place. The southor southwest side of abuilding is best in resi-dential areas. Sitesshould be well drained,with surface water di-rected away from thehotbed. Pile mulch or soilagainst the outer sides ofthe structure to insulateit. It should be reason-ably close to a watersupply, and if the bed iselectrically heated, closeto an electrical outlet.

It doesn’t matterwhere you look on theInternet these days. Thescammers are out there

hoping toget yourattention.

Jason,of GreaterCincinnati,wrote me:“A ladyand herhusbandare livingoff robbinggood peo-

ple – and maybe exposingthem will keep themfrom getting other peo-ple.”

Jason says he sawyard sales posted bythese people on severalwebsites. He writes,“They have multiple adstrying to sell everythingfrom purebred puppiesto cars and TVs. Recent-ly they sold me a brokenPlaystation 3. It didn’t

work and after trying tocontact them I wasblocked and ignored.”

Jason says after hereported the sellers tothe website on which hebought the unit, he “start-ed hearing about howthey have scammedmany young people intobuying broken or falselyadvertised items.”

Ohio Attorney GeneralMike DeWine says in2015 his office receivedabout 30 complaints frompeople who said theybought a puppy or otherpet online, but neverreceived anything inreturn. The average lossto consumers was about$1,200.

As was the case withJason, the key to stop-ping this fraud is to askto see the item being soldin person before youmake any payments. Justseeing a picture of theitem or the puppy online

is not enough to protectyou from these scam-mers.

According to DeWine,“In a typical puppy scama consumer finds an adfor a puppy online. Theconsumer communicateswith the seller, agrees tobuy the puppy and even-tually wires a few hun-dred dollars to have thepuppy delivered.”

Rather than receivingthe puppy the consumergets a demand for moremoney either to pay forinsurance or transporta-tion costs. If the consum-er doesn’t pay the sellermay threaten to turn himin for animal abuse.

Research any breed-ers and sellers carefullybefore you agree to buyanything. Remember,Jason says when he did alittle checking he startedhearing about many oth-ers who were alsoscammed.
