Crawfish season marks

KNOTTY PINE ANNIVERSARY

Crawfish season running now through May or June

By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

COLD SPRING — The owners and staff of Knotty Pine on the Bayou have marked the oneyear anniversary of re-opening of the restaurant with little fanfare beyond serving patrons the usual Cajun dining celebration.

The staff marked one-year anniversary of moving and reopening the restaurant March 6 by sitting around and talking together over drinks at the end of the night, said owner John Caulfield.

“It kind of snuck up on us, and we literally just had a good day at work,” Caulfield said.

Caulfield and his wife, Kathy, closed the restaurant between Nov. 14, 2011, and March 6, 2012, during a relocation process to a new building

overlooking the Licking River.

The building the restaurant was located in since 1994 was going to require costly structural repairs to renovate.

Caulfield said he feels lucky to be able to bring all of the restaurant’s staff back in 2012 after being closed for so long.

The re-opening anniversary coincides with the restaurant’s annual spring crawfish boil.

Crawfish are flown in fresh from Alabama and boiled the same day each Tuesday from the end of January until late May or June, he said. It’s a special time of year for the restaurant, and patrons, Caulfield said.

“We do have fun with it,” he said. “We have created quite the following.”

Cold Spring settles KCL lawsuit Suit filed after spending scandal

By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

The City of Cold Spring and the Kentucky League of Cities have settled a three-year-old class action lawsuit brought by the city – an agreement that includes reforms for the city advocacy and insurance group.

The settlement agreement will make changes to bylaws, board composition and how board members are nominated annually.

Mayor Mark Stoeber and KLC Executive Director/CEO Jonathan Steiner announced the settlement agreement in a news release sent by the city Wednesday. March 20.

The city, a member of KLC, filed suit to change policy and to push the entity’s board to actively work to reclaim expenditures not approved by the board between 2006 and 2009.

“The reality was you had no one actually watching the hen house,” Stoeber said .

The city has now settled its differences with KLC out of court, he said. The KLC executive board and Cold Spring City Council have both ratified the agreement.

Cold Spring filed suit against the KLC in April 2010 in Fayette Circuit Court in response to a spending scandal and state auditor’s investigation and report.

The lawsuit concerned the league’s expenses from 2006 to 2009, where the state auditor discovered KLC misused hundreds of thousands of dollars primarily due to lax oversight, according to an April 15, 2010, Enquirer story. The state audit made 140 recommendations for improvement and identified spending issues that included paying for trip expenses on executive credit cards for the three-year period totaling more than $300,000 for hotel stays and group dinners involving between 20 and 30 people.

Initially, the Cold Spring pushed for a complete overhaul of the KLC board as part of the lawsuit, Stoeber said. The settlement did not go that far, he said.

“Council and I are very pleased with the terms and conditions of the settlement,” he said, in a news release announcing the settlement. “The settlement includes important changes to the League’s bylaws, See LAWSUIT, Page A2

board composition and annual board membership nomination process.”

As part of the settlement, all annual KLC external audits must “attest to the League’s compliance with the 32 recommendations for public and nonprofit boards issued by the Kentucky Auditor of Public Accounts.”.

Another component of the settlement is that KLC will assign insurance defense attorneys to league members. KLC will also pay the attorney fees for Cold Spring as part of the settlement.

Stoeber said he wanted to give credit to Steiner, who knew he was coming

into a difficult situation when taking the lead job at KLC. “On a personal note, I was very impressed with Mr. Steiner and his business acumen,” Stoeber said.

Former State Auditor Crit Luallen, and The Lexington Herald-Leader, must also be thanked for “shining a bright and focused spotlight on a public entity that ran amok,” said Stoeber in the news release.

“I accepted the position at KLC knowing full well that I was inheriting several issues that I needed to work through,” said Steiner in the news release. “Closing this chapter, as well as others like the School Boards Insurance Trust, allows KLC to move forward and focus

on efforts like pension reform and its mission of helping cities.” Steiner added “Mayor Stoeber’s work with us has helped to further strengthen KLC’s governance structure and commitment to transparency and ethics.”

Luallen also issued a statement in the release .

“I commend Mayor Stoeber and the Cold Spring City Council for continuing to push for greater accountability and transparency in the handling of taxpayer dollars,” Luallen said. “This settlement underscores that the current leadership of KLC has taken very seriously their commitment to insure that accountability throughout their operations going forward.”

Crawfish

Fort Mitchell resident Fred McCoy, a native of the New Orleans area city Slidell, La., said he and about 10 or 12 of his coworkers from EGC Construction in Newport have attended the crawfish boils with regularity for the past four years.

“They’ll consume about 60 pounds,” McCoy said. “And they’ll come out in these platters, and they’ll sit and eat them until they can’t eat anymore

Continued from Page A1

bright red crustaceans, which resemble miniature lobsters, filled many of the tables inside the restaurant March 19.

Sous chef Aaron Hanker, said the restaurant boils anywhere from 250 pounds to 300 pounds of crawfish each Tuesday.

“Sometimes we’re out by 7 o’clock; sometimes they make it through the night,” Hanker said.

It’s a festive and busy time of year, and opportunity to showcase the restaurant’s New Orleansstyle offerings to people visiting for the first time.

Alexandria resident Shelly LaGory said she hasn’t tried the crawfish, but has been coming to the restaurant for years.

“I love the jambalaya and the sauteed shrimp,” LaGory said.

McCoy said they make sure to get to the restaurant shortly after it opens to make sure they get some crawfish.

“You’re a little early now, it’s only 6 p.m.,” he said. “In about another hour-and-a-half this place will be crowded. And I don’t think you’ll have a crawfish left tonight by 8 o’clock.”

Drivers complain of U.S. 27 safety at Grants Lick

By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

GRANTS LICK — Driver complaints about the reconstruction of Ky. 1936 with U.S. 27 in Grants Lick spurred the Campbell County Police Department to ask the state’s Department of Highways to perform a safety review.

The intersection, the main route into and out of the Grants Lick area, was rebuilt as part of widening U.S. 27 from two to four lanes by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s Department of Highways. The new fourlane roadway was opened to traffic in November.

Chief Keith Hill said county police received multiple complaints from citizens in the area who have safety concerns about the intersection.

The complaints were forwarded to the state, Hill said.

are not there,” he said.

The left turn north onto U.S. 27 from Ky. 1936 has already caused issues for some drivers police have noticed, he said.

“You can see some tracks that people have gone through the median,” Hill said.

The county agreed to pay for lighting for the intersection when it is dark, which was completed in February, Hill said.

The county police department asked for, and received a safety review by the state highway department, but a request for a traffic light at the intersection was denied by the state, he said.

There was not enough vehicle traffic to warrant a light at the intersection to meet state requirements, and the request was denied by the Cabinet’s Frankfort office, said Nancy Wood, public information officer for the Cabinet’s District 6 Office of the Department of Highways.

“Our office will continue to monitor this intersection, and as development or traffic patterns change, we would be more than happy to review again at that time,” Wood said.

A “re-striping/realignment” of the intersection will be done when weather gets warmer in April or May, she said.

“Do Not Enter” and “Wrong Way” signs as well as posts with reflective markers have been installed, Wood said.

It’s a calling!

Hayes said he drives through the intersection multiple times every day whenever he wants to go anywhere. Overall, the U.S. 27 widening was an improvement, Hayes said.

The state missed an opportunity to improve the intersection substantially, which always joined U.S. 27 at an angle, he said.

“I realize the engineers were restricted by the bridge located there, but the interchange, to me, is very unsafe,” Hayes said.

The widening work also including rebuilding a bridge over a creek directly adjacent to the intersection.

Hayes said he is concerned with the speed of drivers on U.S. 27, the angle drivers have to take when making turns in or out of Ky. 1936, and a design that makes it difficult to see vehicles coming on the highway.

“For those of us who use it every day, it is dangerous,” Hayes said.

There is limited median space between the north and south lanes of U.S. 27 for a car to cross south lanes and then wait to enter the northbound lanes, he said. The intersection needs a traffic light, and longer deceleration lanes for drivers trying to turn from U.S. 27 into Ky. 1936, Hayes said.

“You’re turning into a curve,” he said.

FLORENCE — The Kentucky Symphony Orchestra is continuing its tradition of one-of-a-kind programming with an upcoming performance combining virtuoso musicianship and zany comedy.

Internet sensations Igudesman and Joo will make their regional debut 8 p.m. Saturday, April 6, at Florence Baptist Church at Mt. Zion.

The duo, including Aleksey Igudesman and pianist Hyung-ki Joo, will perform “A Big Nightmare Music.”

This will only be the Vienna-based duo’s second time performing with an orchestra in the United States, KSO music director James Cassidy said.

They first played with the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

Cassidy first discovered the pair online and says he found them funny

and different.

“What was interesting about it, they’re really fabulous virtuoso musicians. They can really play,” he said.

But there’s a lot of slapstick to their shows too, as well as participation – both vocal and movement – from the orchestra, Cassidy said.

According to Cassidy, while putting together this season’s performances, he wanted a couple of things the KSO had never done. Bringing performers from other countries “isn’t something we do.”

This performance is an opportunity to “see something you’d never see otherwise,” he said.

“Here we are, a little group in Northern Kentucky and we’re bringing people that sell out across Europe and Asia.”

The duo, Cassidy says, fits in with where the KSO is – wanting to reach an audience that isn’t necessarily a classical music audience.

He saw the performers and thought “they’d be great to have with the orchestra.”

While an often-heard phrase may be “if you can’t beat them, join them,” Cassidy says the KSO’s” motto is “if you can’t beat them, do something else.

“We usually beat them or do something else.

That’s the way we look at it.”

NKY Health Department gains accreditation ‘We really stand out as being among the best in the nation’

By Lisa Bernard-Kuhn lbernard@enquirer.com

The Northern Kentucky Health Department is among the first in the county to land an accreditation that ranks it among the highest performing public health agencies in the United States.

The national Public Health Accreditation Board on March 4 unveiled the first 11 recipients of a five-year accreditation, which also included the Franklin County Health Department in Frankfort and the Three Rivers District Health Department in Owenton.

“With this designation we really stand out as being among

the best in the nation,” said Dr. Lynne M. Saddler, the Northern Kentucky department’s director of health. “The public can be assured that we are providing quality public health services and using the Saddler resources we have as efficiently and wisely as we can.”

Across Northern Kentucky, 398,000 residents in Boone, Campbell, Grant and Kenton counties are served by the health department.

To achieve accreditation, the department took on a yearslong process that included submitting more than 600 documents to the newly created PHAB. The process also included a thorough review of the department’s programs, policies and day-to-day operations, said Saddler. The agency’s management of its $14.9 million budget

was also assessed, and a site visit by PHAB officials assured the department was performing in line with the new national standards.

“It is a really challenging process to get through,” Saddler said.

“It’s great to have this designation, but the work doesn’t end. There are always opportunities for improvement that we will continue to work on in the coming years.”

The agencies recognized are the first of hundreds currently preparing to seek national accreditation, according to the PHAB. The national board officially launched its accreditation program in September 2011, after more than a decade in the making.

“This is a truly historic moment in public health,” said PHAB President and CEO Kaye Bender. “With accreditation, we

ess, accreditation is already a requirement for health departments looking for state funding, an official the PHAB said. In Ohio, a proposal included in Gov. John Kasich’s recent budget calls for health departments to be accredited by 2018 to receive money from his state.

That could get pricey depending on the size of the health department. For its accreditation, the Northern Kentucky Health Department is paying $31,800 over a five-year period.

The charge falls in the middle range of fees assessed to health departments going for the status.

The fee, which ranges from $12,720 to more than $95,000, covers the cost of administering the new program, according to PHAB. The larger the department, the more expensive the fee.

now have national standards that promote continuous quality improvement for public health and a mechanism for recognizing high performing public health departments.”

So far, more than 125 health departments have officially applied for accreditation, according to the PHAB. Down the road, officials said, the accreditation could become a requirement for some public health agencies as they seek state and federal funding.

“From a variety of things I’ve read, it does seem to indicate that funders are going to be more inclined to fund organizations that are accredited because they have a higher level of assurance that they are going to get quality services for the dollars they are investing,” said Saddler.

In North Carolina, where a state-based program served as the model for the national proc-

Church sharing health care supplies

By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

CAMP SPRINGS — Oakland United Methodist Church in Camp Springs has started a new health care ministry to provide equipment and supplies for people struggling to care for loved ones in ill health.

Other church missions and outreach focus on food, clothing and utility or rent assistance.

But there was little in the way of assistance for those struggling to pay for supplies and equipment, said Lori Grahm, of California, chairperson of the mission.

“It’s a need that needs to be filled that nobody else is doing,” Grahm said.

There are plenty of elderly people as well as their caregivers, so there is a definite need, she said.

The idea for the new health care supply ministry was brought to the church by Wilma Woodford, wife of the church’s minister, the Rev. John “Woody” Woodford, after their arrival in June, Grahm said.

“It was one of those things like ‘Wow, why didn’t we think of that before,” she said.

The congregation was considering ideas for a local ministry, and had realized there were already quite a few food pantries operating in southern Campbell County, Grahm said.

Woodford, a registered nurse who serves as the parish nurse,

said this will be her second health care ministry. She started the first one while living in Economy, Ind., and it remains in operation, she said.

Woodford said many people fall between cracks for insurance or government assistance, but paying for home health care equipment including beds, chairs, walkers and toilets are expenses that financially strain people.

The ministry always accepts donations of durable medical equipment including bedside toilets and shower chairs that can be sanitized, she said. Since the ministry is run through the church, all donations are tax deductible, Woodford said.

The ministry is also stocking

new rolls of gauze and adult diapers, which are expensive, she said.

The ministry also plans to help people with wheelchairs and beds, she said.

“If we don’t have it, it’s not to

say that we can’t find it,” Woodford said.

Oakland United Methodist Church is located at 7867 Stonehouse Road in southern Campbell County. Call Woodford at 859-588-3313 for information .

Job fair gives servicemen, women professional connections

By Melissa Stewart mstewart@nky.com

ERLANGER — Former serviceman David Bain left the Northern Kentucky Veterans Job Fair March 19 feeling pretty good.

“I love that we have something like this,” said Bain, who served in the Army National Guard. “You can go to different (employers) and talk to people about job opportunities. The people are friendly and will help you in any way they can.”

The Kenton County resident gained several job leads at the free event that is part of a nationwide initiative, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Hiring Our Heroes. The event, held at Receptions Banquet Conference Center in Erlanger, was organized in partnership with Northern Kentucky Tri-County Economic Development (TriED) and the Northern Kentucky Career Center.

“This is good for all (servicemen and women), especially when they come home, they need to find a job,” Bain said.

That is the goal of the job fair, according to Ken Wocher of the Northern Kentucky Career Center.

“Our goal for the event is to get as many people employed as we can, especially veterans, that is our bread and butter,” he said.

The first hour of the job fair is strictly dedicated to servicemen and women and their spouses.

“If anyone deserves a chance, it’s those who’ve put their lives on the line for our country,” said Joseph Pennington, U.S. Navy retired, and mil-

itary recruiting coordinator for Combined Insurance.

Combined Insurance, ranked 8th on G.I. Jobs magazine’s 2013 Military Friendly Employer list, is a regular participant in Hiring Our Heroes job fairs.

“We understand that unemployment among veterans remains a problem,” Pennington

said. “Our goal is to help them transfer their skills to a non-military job or a new career.”

According to USAToday.com, joblessness among veterans remains high – well above the national unemployment rate of 7.7 percent. In fact, about 205,000 of those who served in or during the Iraq and Afghani-

stan wars are without work.

Companies such as Combined Insurance, however, are benefiting greatly by recognizing the contributions servicemen and women can make as civilian employees.

“They are responsible, hardworking, disciplined and dedicated to helping others,” Pen-

nington said. “As a company, we take pride in our military and those who’ve selflessly served.

We consider it a privilege to help them achieve post military financial, personal and professional goals.”

Moyer students donate dental products to Welcome House

The first-grade students at Moyer Elementary School recently learned about dental hygiene and proper dental care, then used what they learned to help others.

After hearing about dental care from a guest speaker from Dr. David Rider’s dental office, the students collected more than 250 toothbrushes, toothpastes, bottles of mouthwash and floss, which they donated to the Welcome House.

Johnson students get reminder that ‘Everybody Counts’

By Amanda Joering ajoering@nky.com

FORT THOMAS — At Johnson Elementary School, Parent Teacher Organization volunteers recently helped spread awareness of physical disabilities through the Everybody Counts program.

Students had the chance to learn about different physical disabilities and do some hands-on activities to understand the disabilities better.

Second-grade teacher Amy Opitz said each year, the students learn about a different disability.

Last year, her students learned about visual impairments and this year, the focus was on hearing impairments.

“This program gives the students an awareness of other people and what they go through, which I think a lot of them don’t realize,” Opitz said. “It really gives them a glimpse into these disabilities.”

Opitz said while students read books

about disabilities, doing hands-on activities as part of the Everybody Counts program really helps them understand more about the diversity in the world, including in their own school.

Soon, one of their fellow Johnson students who has a hearing disability will be meeting with the class to talk about his condition and answer questions, Opitz said.

In other classes, students will be visited by speakers who will be coming to the school to talk about the various disabilities covered in the program, which include developmental disabilities, motor impairment, learning disabilities

and chromosomal disorders.

Johnson Principal Jon Stratton said beyond understanding the disabilities, the Everybody Counts program helps students understand other people.

“Understanding these disabilities helps the students get to know the person behind the disability and makes them feel more at ease around them,” Stratton said.

Stratton said he appreciates the school’s Parent Teacher Organization, who oversees the program every year, for all the hard work they put in to providing Everybody Counts for the students.

BELLEVUE — In an effort to ensure that students are college and career ready, Bellevue High School recently participated in the Operation Preparation program to get students thinking about, and planning for, their future.

Operation Preparation is a joint effort between the Kentucky Department of Education and the Department of Workforce Development that gives students a chance to meet with community volunteers to talk about their interests, career aspirations and the preparation necessary to get where they want to be.

“This is a chance for students to meet with someone from the community and talk about what they want to do with their lives,” said Principal Dave Eckstein.

“They get to connect with someone besides their parents and school personnel and have another voice in their ear talking about what they need to do.”

As part of the program, each student was paired with a community member based on the student’s interests and plans, Eckstein said.

During the meeting, the community member had the chance to get to know the student and provide information and inspiration to help them achieve their goals.

For sophomore Sandy Lambert, that goal includes becoming a teacher.

During her Operation Preparation meeting, her volunteer told her about scholarship and grant opportunities to help her pay for her classes, books and more and how she can get college credits while still in high school.

“It really helped me a lot by getting me thinking about how I need to prepare for my future in the next couple years,” Lambert said.

Eckstein said this is the second year the school has had the program, which brings in volunteers from local businesses and community groups such at the Bellevue Alliance.

All students in the eighth and 10th grades, which is about 125 students, were paired with a volunteer for the program.

“The students obviously get a lot out of this, but so do the volunteers,” Eckstein said. “The feedback we’ve received from everyone is all really positive.”

High school students learn of ethics, leadership The West Point Societies of Cincinnati and Dayton hosted its first Leadership & Ethics Seminar at Miami University Voice of America Learning Center in West Chester.

The seminar provided selected sophomore and junior students and faculty members from high schools in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, the opportunity to experience some of the leadership and ethics training developed for cadets at the US Military Academy at West Point.

Nearly 100 students and 50 faculty members from 50 local high schools attended the event.

This seminar, focusing on the same principles and values taught at West Point, was facili-

tated by West Point graduates from the Greater Cincinnati area. After a short workshop to understand and establish each participant’s value and beliefs “framework,” small groups of students discussed several situational case studies in which they might find themselves.

These cases enabled them to explore their personal values within an ethical decision-making model – helping students develop and internalize a personal code of conduct that will make them stronger leaders.

Ethics and values-based leadership are often cited as making the difference between successful leaders and those who fail. West Point is often considered the premier leader-

ship institution in the world.

West Point seeks to “educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets, so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character.” Cadets are taught, practice and live in an environment that develops this leadership character over a four-year period.

The seminar also featured two guest speakers. In the morning, the students heard from Cincinnati City Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld. The closing session was provided by Dr. Victor Garcia, professor of surgery and pediatrics director, Trauma Services, at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.

Both Sittenfeld and Garcia, who have been involved in

C. » Northern Kentucky University pitcher Emily Schwaeble held Kennesaw State to just three hits March 24, but the Norse were unable to generate any offense in a 3-0 loss to the Owls in an Atlantic Sun Conference game. Schwaeble (1-11) went the distance for the sixth time this season, striking out four and walking four. The Norse (6-21, 0-9 A-Sun) had two on base and with one out in the seventh, but a pair of fly outs ended the game. The Norse totaled five hits on the game.

NKU returns to action next weekend when the Norse make an Easter trip to the Sunshine State to battle Stetson for a three-game conference series March 29-30.

Campbell runners ready to come out blazing

By Adam Turer

presspreps@gmail.com

Hopefully, Campbell County area runners will come out blazing this track and field season.

Anything to help melt the snow that has covered high school tracks far too many days this spring.

Here is a look at the returning and aspiring state champions who will be heating up this year. Some team coaches couldn’t be reached by deadline.

Bellevue

Bellevue brings back its entire boys team from a year ago, including several state qualifiers. Discus thrower Justin Babb returns, along with three state qualifying relay teams. The 1,600-meter relay team of Jordan Roberts, Tony Isbell, Alec Hazeres, and Nolan Rechtin placed 10th in the state last season. Roberts, Hazeres, and Rechtin also return to the 400and 800-meter relay squads.

“This should be the best overall boys team at Bellevue in re-

cent years,” said coach Caleb Finch.

After tasting success in 2012, the boys are poised to take the next step in 2013. Expectations are high for the Tigers.

“Qualifying for state for the 1,600-meter relay team is no longer good enough,” said Finch. “Anything short of plac-

ing in the top three at state will be disappointing for this group of young men.”

Bishop Brossart

The 400 meter dash state champion Nicole Goderwis returns at Bishop Brossart. The sophomore leads an experienced group of Mustangs. Soph-

omore Elizabeth Patterson and seniors Sarah Klump and Lauren Goderwis lead the Mustangs’ talented relay teams.

“Relays and sprints will be our strong point,” said coach Dave Schuh.

Shannon Donnelly, Olivia Johnston, Olivia Nienaber, and Sarah Sandfoss lead the distance runners. Emily Powell is the Mustangs’ top thrower.

“We should be a good team but lack of depth will hold us back some,” said Schuh.

On the boys side, the Mustangs return seniors Jacob Hartig and Alex Schwartz, juniors Michael Caldwell and Drew Berkemeyer, and sophomores Chris Loos and Mark Goller.

Caldwell is one of the area’s top runners in the mile and 800 meter run. The Mustangs’ two-mile relay team won an indoor state championship and looks to duplicate that feat in the outdoor season.

“I have very high expectations for this year’s team,” said coach Chris Davis. “The team gained a lot of experience last year and is ready to be a con-

tender for a top-four spot at the state meet.”

The veteran leadership should guide the Mustangs as they challenge Newport Central Catholic for a regional title. The balance of individual runners and relay teams will be a key to Brossart’s success.

“We have a few guys that will score some big points for us and a lot of key veterans that will make every relay team solid,” said Davis. “I really like this team. They are a lot of quality, hard-working kids.”

Campbell County

Grant Mahoney and Jake Zabonick return to lead Campbell County’s boys team. Zabonick set a school record in the 100meter dash last year and looks to break his own record this season. He is also the team’s top long jumper. Aaron Orth paces the middle distance runners while Mark Chaplin leads the Camels’ long distance group.

Pole vaulters Will Seiter and Ben See lead the field eventers.

See TRACK, Page A11

Track Continued from Page A10

“We have a good mix of veteran runners and jumpers and younger runners and throwers,” said coach Michael Stevens.

The girls team is looking to regain the form that led the Camels to the 2010 state championship.

The girls on this year’s squad are proven winners and look to continue their success.

“We have a rich tradition of winning over the past several years and this year’s team is hungry to maintain that,” said coach Toni McKee. Pole vaulter Angela Lauer leads the Camels field eventers. Brooke Buckler, Becca Cline, Molly Kitchen, and Kristen Spahr also return. This isn’t the most experienced team that Campbell County has had, but these girls have benefitted from seeing the hard work and success put in by those who came before them.

“We have graduated many seniors the past two years, and will have to look at some young talent on our team,” said McKee, “but they are set to take up the baton and keep the tradition going!”

Dayton

Dayton is led by returning state qualifier Ryan Meyer. The middle distance runner qualified for state in two events last year.

Fellow middle distance

runner Chris Johnson also qualified for state last year. Meyer and Johnson will pace the Greendevils.

Eddie Combs leads Dayton’s field eventers. The thrower continues to improve in his second year of competition.

Maranda Walling leads the girls team, competing in the 400and 800-meter runs.

“We have a lot of young and dedicated runners and throwers,” said coach Barbie Case-Lukens.

“They are enthusiastic and really love the sport.”

While the team’s top returners have realized where their strengths lie, the younger athletes are open to experimenting.

Finding hidden points in unexpected places can make a difference in Dayton’s place at meets.

“Many kids are willing to try new events to find their niche,” said Case-Lukens.

Newport

Newport’s boys team will make its mark in the field events. Jashawn Stanley (triple jump) and Mason Whaley (javelin) are the top returners for the Wildcats.

Both athletes also compete in track events.

“Our strongest boys events should be the high jump, triple jump, discus and relays,” said coach Jeremy Zeigler.

The girls team is led by sprinter Raven Rice. The girls will excel in the short distance sprints. Rice

leads the team in the 100- and 200-meter dashes.

“Our expectation is to be very competitive at Regionals and send some athletes to state,” said Zeigler.

Kentucky, which posted a 9-4 record at home this season.

“I certainly believe we were challenged heading into this year, and we were on the road quite a bit early on. It certainly tested everyone’s character and toughness and, again, our players showed a great deal of intensity and desire and commitment and they found a way,” Plitzuweit said. “I am really proud of that – the toughness, the togetherness, the tenacity that they showed throughout the season, the way they took care of each other.

“I’m really proud of our staff because I thought they worked extremely hard during the season to prepare our kids for every battle and every game. And the players have responded very well. I think the community has really embraced our program and the transition into Division I. That is a really special feeling and this is a great place, and we are really hoping to build.”

Northern Kentucky loses four seniors – Hopper, Holton, Jaimie Hamlet and Kelsey Simpson.

Hamlet (Glen Este) became just the eighth player in Norse history to make 100 3-pointers in a career when she drained a trey in the second half.

She finished her career with 100 treys to move into sole possession of eighth place all-time in school history.

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS —

A torrid shooting performance by Alyssa Frye in the second half March 20 helped the College of Charleston to end Northern Kentucky University’s season in the first round of the Women’s Basketball Invitational.

Frye scored all 20 of her points in the second half, including a crucial 3pointer with 1:31 remaining in the game, as the College of Charleston held on for a 72-70 win over Northern Kentucky in The Bank of Kentucky Center.

“I thought our kids found a way to really dig themselves back into that game. It didn’t look very promising when we were down16 in the second half, but we battled and fought and found a way to get back in it,” Northern Kentucky head coach Dawn Plitzuweit said. “Unfortunately, two things happened. (Alyssa Frye) got open for two threes that really hurt us. Then they missed a three but got an offensive rebound. But, I’m really proud of our players’ effort and tenacity tonight and throughout the season.”

Ellen Holton led Northern Kentucky (15-13) with 21 points and three blocked shots, while Kayla Thacker scored 15 points and added two blocks. Tiara Hopper finished with 11 points and eight rebounds for the

Newport Central Catholic is led by junior Chandler Cain, who nearly earned three gold medals last season. Cain is the defending state champion in the 100 meter dash, runner-up in the 400 meter dash, and thirdplace finisher in the 200 meter dash. She is joined by senior sprinter and hurdler Nikki Buller and sophomore sprinter and long jumper MiKayla Seibert.

The Thoroughbreds also feature junior Abbie Lukens, a threat to win state in both the shot put and discus.

NewCath fell just short of a team title last year and have used that as motivation heading into the 2013 season.

“The girls have high expectations for themselves,” said coach David Meyers. “They were upset at last season’s runner-up finish at State and are working very hard to give themselves the best chance to get back on top.”

This experienced group will be one of the favorites to bring home the team title this year.

“The talent is there, so the girls need to stay focused and work hard with the mindset of doing whatever it takes to help the team,” said Meyers.

NKU senior Jaimie Hamlet (Glen Este) hits her 100th career three-pointer in the second half. NKU lost 72-70 to the College of Charleston March 20 in the first round of the Women’s Basketball Invitational postseason tourney at the Bank of Kentucky Center.

JAMES WEBER

Norse, who surpassed all expectations by earning a berth in the WBI as a firstyear Division I program.

“Nobody thought we would be in the postseason; I don’t think even some of us thought we would be in the postseason,” said Holton, who finished with 777 career points in three seasons with the Norse. “Just to get that opportunity and the opportunity to play for Northern, coach (Nancy) Winstel and Coach P., it’s just been great. I’ve had a good time here.”

The Norse shot 41.8 percent from the field, compared to 40 percent for the Cougars. The loss snapped a four-game winning streak for Northern

Catastrophic engine failure is also rare, but it will be something that you notice right way. If the failure stays within the protective cowling and away from the ship, you are fine. You will make an emergency landing, but the plane will fly just fine on one engine.

Finally, there are several other conditions that I want to touch on: gear failure, hydraulic/ generator failure, and medical emergencies. Please know that not every emergency is declared by the crew. This determination can be made by the FAA and the airport . Gear failure alerts are most often caused by a sensor or light problem where the gear is just fine. If it really is gear failure, you will have a rough landing but that is about it. Any fire will be extinguished by ARFF crews (Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting) before it gets into the cabin. Hydraulic and/or generator failures normally cause some level of emergency precautions.

The biggest thing you will notice is some vibration and noise from outside the plane. Medical emergencies are probably the most under-rated type of problem.

Severe medical conditions such as heart attacks, allergic reactions, and shortness of breath require a diversion. This means your crew will declare the medical problem and request routing to the nearest airport with medical services. Your plane will drop from the sky faster than normal and on a course that was just created. If this happens, get to your seat, buckle-up, and follow crew instructions.

I hope that this column has made you feel more informed about airline safety. The degree of safety that you achieve as a passenger is largely up to you.

CAMPBELL TOASTMASTERS CELEBRATING 60 YEARS

By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

NEWPORT — The Triangle 1223 Toastmasters public speaking club of Campbell County isn’t all talk.

Members of the club, affiliated with Toastmasters International, work on developing communication and leadership skills and exuding confidence.

A different member is selected to run each meeting, and they are known as the Toastmaster, said Sheila Vorheis, club president, of New Richmond, Ohio.

Members practice speaking in front of an audience of fellow members, Vorheis said. Duties including being the speech timekeeper and speech evaluators who give feedback are assigned to people at each meeting.

Outside of meetings, training manuals help members work through aspects of public speaking people stumble over and have problems with, she said.

“Along with that it improves our self-esteem, our abilities to get up there and take charge of meetings,” Vorheis said.

So, leadership abilities are as big a part of Toastmasters as public speaking, she said.

Fort Thomas resident Drew Schwegman joined the club in November and was the Toastmaster running the Tuesday, March 19, meeting. It was his first time serving as the Toastmaster.

Schwegman set the agenda for the meeting and introduced people prior to each speech.

Schwegman said he is a certified business coach with ActionCoach Business Coaching, and Toastmasters helps him refine his professional speaking abilities for either an audience or for use in private one-to-one sessions.

“So, this was an opportunity for me to step outside of my comfort zone and to get practice speaking in public and various different types of techniques and strategies to improve that,” Schwegman said.

The club will celebrate 60 years in Campbell County with a public celebration inside the Campbell County Administration Building in Newport, 1098 Monmouth St., at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 2. A special anniver-

sary program will begin at 7 p.m., during the regular meeting time.

The group regularly meets inside the fiscal court chambers in Newport at 7 p.m. on the first and third Tuesday of each month, Vorheis said.

The April 2 anniversary event will include a “meet-andgreet” and snacks, she said.

“It’s an open house for people to come meet us and see what we’re all about, and what we can do to help them with their personal goals,” she said.

Cheering leads to long-time friendship for Southgate girls

ajoering@nky.com

Almost nine years ago, Southgate Independent Schools eighth-graders Morgan Taylor and Lindsay McIntosh happened to stand next to each other in the stretching circle during their practice for the Newport Firefighters cheerleading squad.

From that day on, the two say they’ve been best friends.

In school, the two have had class together every year, and in the summer, the spend most of their time with each other,

JOERING/COMMUNITY RECORDER

Taylor said.

“We act so much alike, we’re like the same person,”

Taylor said. “She’s funny and trustworthy.”

McIntosh agreed and said

Taylor’s outgoing personality is just like hers.

“She just knows how to make people laugh,” McIntosh said.

While they’ve made hundreds of memories over the years, the girls said the time they spent together cheerleading are some of the best. In particular the time their moms were the teams moms for a cheerleading competition .

Throughout the years, the girls said they’ve only fought a few times, including one time when their parents had to make them get together and

work things out.

“They wouldn’t let us leave the house until we made up,” Taylor said.

After graduating from Southgate this year, the girls said they both plan on attending Highlands High School and hope to go to the same college too.

“We’re going to be cosmetologists and open our own salon together and do social work together too,” McIntosh said.

McIntosh said no matter what happens, the two will always be there for each other.

Fruited gelatin terrine, pound cake make Easter table special As I write this column on the first day of spring, it’s snowing outside! Usually by this time we have our potatoes, early greens and radishes planted. We have to go along with the whims of Mother Nature. I hope each of you has a memorable and fun Easter. As I tell you every holiday, remember those who may be alone or who can’t get out.

Send a card, make Rita a call or Heikenfeld invite RITA’S KITCHEN them to your table to share your abundant blessings.

Rita’s fruited gelatin terrine

I like to make mine in a terrine, which looks like a skinny, longer loaf pan. A loaf pan works well, too. This is an elegant, easy addition to an Easter dinner. If you want, you can do all individual small bowls, molds, etc. For a smaller batch, just divide the

recipe in half.

4 cups mixed fruit (I use strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries.)

4 packages unflavored gelatin (four 1⁄4-oz envelopes) 4 cups white grape juice, rose wine, etc.

1 cup sugar 2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice

Arrange fruit in loaf pan. Set aside. Sprinkle gelatin over grape juice and let sit a few minutes to soften and “bloom.”

Whisk gently and the gelatin should be incorporated, but not dissolved, into the juice.

Pour into pan, and add sugar and lemon juice.

Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer and whisk until sugar and gelatin are dissolved. Remove from heat and cool mixture, stirring occasionally, just to room temperature. Mixture should still be pourable. Slowly and gently pour enough mixture over fruit, just enough to cover nicely.

This will set the fruit in a bit of gelatin so it doesn’t float.

Chill until firm, about

an hour. Pour remaining mixture over fruit (if it gels while it’s sitting, warm up a bit to melt, but let cool before you pour on). To unmold, dip pan in a larger pan of hot water for a few seconds to loosen. Invert a serving plate over terrine and invert terrine onto plate.

Tips from Rita’s kitchen

Lower carb: Use a sugar substitute and sugar-free juice.

Even easier: Use a light-colored prepared gelatin dessert, cook as package directs and follow instructions for layering fruit. You won’t need to add juice, sugar or lemon juice.

Ruth Roberson’s special pound cake

Remember the request for a buttery pound cake like Whole Foods? I’m still working on a clone, but wanted to share Ruth’s pound cake recipe. Ruth, a Kentucky reader, told me: “I have a recipe that everyone loves. I use it for strawberry shortcake, a quick breakfast, or just as a

Rita’s fruited gelatin terrine is an easy, fruity Easter dessert. THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

great cake to have anytime. It is really easy to make and I have shared the recipe with many people. It’s a very old recipe, but it is delicious and very moist. Most of the remarks I get from people are that they love the little crunch on top and then the moistness that is inside.”

3 cups sugar ⁄2cup Crisco 2 sticks margarine, softened 1 ⁄4teaspoon salt 5 large eggs, room temperature, if possible 5 oz. can evaporated milk mixed with water to make 1 cup 3 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon lemon extract 1 teaspoon vanilla 1

Beat together sugar, Crisco, margarine and salt. Then add eggs, one

at a time, beating until well mixed. Start adding flour alternately with milk mixture. You should start and end with flour. Blend in lemon and vanilla.

Pour into a large Bundt or angel food pan, which has been greased with Crisco and floured.

Bake at 325 degrees for about 1 hour and 25 minutes. Keep oven closed while baking. Remove from pan immediately and cool on wire rack.

Sunflower Peeps cake Check out my blog for recipe and photo!

Call 513-248-7130, ext. 356.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen

Ruth said you could substitute 1 tablespoon vanilla butter and nut flavor for the lemon and vanilla. This may make it taste more like Whole Foods cake.

Stopping crabgrass before it starts

Question: Is it time to apply pre-emergent crabgrass control products? I put some on last fall, but I probably need to do it again, right?

Answer: Although fall is a good time to treat broad-leaved weeds with herbicide, it doesn’t do any good to apply crabgrass preventer in the fall, because crabgrass is a summer annual that germinates in the spring, not in the fall.

The plant dies when winter’s freezing temperatures arrive.

All the crabgrass plants that grew in your lawn last year are now dead. However, their

It will control Mid-March to midboth crabgrass and foxApril is the best time to tail grassy weeds. apply pre-emergence

In established lawns, you have more options for pre-emergence control of crabgrass, foxtail and goosegrass, including products containing benefin + trifluralin (Team), bensulide (Betasan, PreSan, Lescosan), oxadiazon (Ronstar), pendimethalin (Weedgrass Control, Pre-M, Halts, Pendulum), dithiopyr (Dimension), prodiamine (Barricade), and bensulide + oxadiazon (Goosegrass/ Crabgrass Control).

In Northern Kentucky, these chemicals need to be applied before April 15. A sixweek-later repeat appli-

cation will extend control for the entire summer season. If goosegrass is the main target weed, apply the second application about May 15.

General broadleaf weed control is not really an option at lawn seeding time, or on new lawns, or on ground that will be seeded within the next few weeks, since most herbicides that kill dandelions, clover, plantain, ground ivy, etc. will also kill or damage newly germinated lawn grasses.

Check product label for specifics, but many broadleaf weed killers

The Point raises funds for embroidery machine Community Recorder

Last July The Point Arc of Northern Kentucky had a goal to raise $40,000 for an embroidery machine for one of its businesses, The Point Log & Design.

At the time, the business was offering silk screening only, but discovered a need for embroidery for uniforms, spirit wear, gifts and more.

The goal was to raise the funds by November, however, that goal was surpassed and a total of $50,000 was raised.

The addition of the embroidery machine allows The Point to be a one-stop shop for custom screen printing and embroidery needs.

cannot be applied to a new lawn until it has been mowed about four times; and if the herbicide is applied to weeds before over-seeding a lawn, you must wait several weeks before you can finally sow the grass seed. Check product label for restrictions.

In established lawns where no overseeding is being done, you can kill broadleaf weeds such as Plantain, Wild garlic, and Dandelion with combination products containing 2,4-D.

Gaining wisdom and common sense with age

At each of the 10 senior activity centers operated by Senior Services of Northern Kentucky there are advisory councils made up of participants at the center. The advisory councils help plan activities at our centers. They give us advice on what activities we should have at the centers. These are wise people. And I’m not just saying that because I work for them.

On occasions, I get to visit with these councils during their monthly meeting with the center manager as they plan the activities for the coming month. I like to tell them

At every meetstory: “The next ing, the advisory night, there is council, to a person, another meetsays that there will ing with anothbe some apples left. er 100 seniors in With an exaggerattendance. I ated look of surbring another prise on my face, I 100 red delithen ask, “Even cious apples.

following story and ask the follow up questions.

My story usually begins this way: “I have asked 100 seniors here to your center for a meeting. I brought 100 red delicious apples to the meeting. At the end of the meeting, as they leave, I offer a free apple to each of the participants. How many apples are left after all the seniors are gone?”

On every occasion the unanimous response is, “All the apples are gone.

Each one of the seniors took an apple as they left.”

Then I continue with the second half of my

because, not taking the free apple, is just stupid.

And no one, especially someone our age, wants to be thought of as stupid.”

He went on to say, “At the second meeting, the seniors made decisions based on what they needed. Even if they knew the deal at 10 cents was an exceptional bargain, they made their decision based on whether they needed an apple or not.

They were being frugal.

Some would say that they were being cheap. And there is nothing wrong with being cheap.”

You know, all of us gain a lot of common sense and wisdom as we grow older. And there is a lot of wisdom in this simple story.

I tell this story often.

Ken Rechtin is the Executive Director of Senior Services of Northern Kentucky, a Campbell County Commissioner, and one of the “baby boomers” (he is almost 63 years old).

April 13 5K event helps grieving kids

What This study will evaluate whether the study medication, budesonide MMX®, is safe and effective in people with ulcerative colitis that is not well controlled using anti-inflammatory medications known as 5-aminosalicylic acids (5-ASAs). Budesonide MMX®, is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This study is looking to see whether budesonide MMX® (given by mouth as tablet) and 5-ASA medication used together can better control the symptoms of ulcerative colitis.

The event starts at 9 a.m. at Dixie Heights High School and is open to both team and individual participants.

All proceeds from the event will go to support the STARS program. The free service, facilitated by St. Elizabeth Hospice, helps children and their caregivers grow stronger through their grief journey rather than be overwhelmed by it after someone they love dies.

POLICE REPORTS

RAMP Fund helps riders with special needs

ALEXANDRIA

Community Recorder

Arrests/citations

Employees of the Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky and its Board of Trustees are making life easier for their riders with special needs.

TANK’s Northern Kentucky Regional Area Mobility Program is the door-to-door shared ride service available to disabled citizens in Boone, Campbell and Kenton counties who are unable to use regular routes or a traditional bus.

“The fee for this important service is nominal, but it adds up quickly for those who are on a fixed income and must use it frequently,” said Bryan Carlisle, TANK board chairman.

To help address this challenge, TANK board members responded and provided personal gifts to launch the Project RAMP Fund. Shortly after its creation, TANK employees also contributed to the fund and are continuing to do so by payroll deductions.

“Project RAMP now provides financial assistance to registered RAMP users who find it difficult to pay for their transportation on RAMP,” said Carlisle.

In a presentation at TANK offices on March 12, seven RAMP riders received their official notification of extra financial assistance for RAMP services. Riders must qualify for RAMP under the Americans with Disabilities Act and demonstrate certain levels of economic disadvantage.

Daniel J. Wilhelm, 24, 4414 Norway Court, operating on suspended or revoked operators license, owner permit another to operate motor vehicle without required insurance - first offense, no registration plates, rear license not illuminated at 6711 Alexandria Pike, March 6.

Shawn R. McCane, 30, 507 Piccadilly Square C, public intoxication - controlled substance excludes alcohol - heroin at 6711 Alexandria Pike, March 6.

Timothy S. Caudill, 40, 800 Brentwood Lane, F, DUI - first offense, failure to or improper signal at 7 Lakeside Drive, March 4.

William McCormick, 24, 696 Clay Ridge Road, first degree possession of controlled substance heroin at 215 Washington St., March 8.

Incidents/investigations Theft of property mislaid or delivered by mistake Report of wallet set down at gas station taken at 7740 Alexandria Pike, March 5.

Fourth-degree assault Report of juvenile hit another juvenile causing a bruise at 8000 Alexandria Pike, March 8.

Fourth-degree assault domestic violence Reported at Sunset Drive, March 4.

Theft by unlawful taking, third-degree terroristic threatening Report of man threatened to rip out another man's teeth and took his wallet at 23 Sylvan Drive, March 6.

ABOUT POLICE REPORTS The Community Recorder publishes the names of all adults charged with offenses. The information is a matter of public record and does not imply guilt or innocence.

“These awards were made possible by a combination of funds from the generous TANK employees who see these riders every day and the leadership of the TANK Board,” said Cynthia Lawhorn Williams, CEO of the Community Foundation of Northern Kentucky, who officially presented the awards. Williams praised the TANK employees for their generosity and thanked them for being role models for the community.

“When they could have looked the other way, they decided to help their fellow citizens. They are an inspiration for all of us.”

The foundation will administer the Project RAMP fund, support the application process and accept additional support and donations. Heritage Bank also generously donated a special fee-free account to collect funds for Project RAMP. The next open application period will be May 130 for awards to be used the second half of 2013.

Applications will be available April 15 on the TANK

Support 4-H when renewing farm license Community Recorder

The Kentucky 4-H Foundation is asking farmers across the commonwealth to step up and make the “Ag Tag” donation.

Commissioner of Agriculture James Comer

announced all farm license plate donations will be split evenly among 4-H, FFA and the Kentucky Proud program, which are vital programs for Kentucky’s youth and Kentucky’s agricultural economy.

In March, farmers

can make a voluntary donation of $10 when renewing their farm license plates at the county clerk’s office. With more than 160,000 farm plates bought or renewed each year in Kentucky, the commissioner’s action could gener-

ate up to $1.6 million annually.

Making the voluntary $10 donation is an excellent opportunity for you to support the youth in your community and help fund the programs that can make a lasting difference in their lives.

Insurance scams targeting seniors Community Recorder

A new insurance scam that has been widespread across the state is being reported in Northern Kentucky.

The scam is aimed at seniors who need supplemental health insurance, according to Angela S. Zeek of Legal Aid of the Bluegrass in Lexington.

“A group calling themselves Senior Solutions Insurance (also going by Senior Care Insurance in other areas) is going door to door, and calling senior citizens to get them to buy this supplemental insurance.” said Zeek in an email to social service agencies across Kentucky.

“They are promising things such prescriptions being paid 100 percent and sending in a nurse to do an ‘evaluation’ and asking for money up front.

The phone number they are giving is not legitimate, and this insurance is obviously not covering all that they are promising.”

Officials at Senior Services of Northern Kentucky say they have also received calls from concerned seniors reporting that door-to-door salespeople have been working the area claiming to be from organizations with names very similar to

SSNK. The salespeople are offering insurance or other services.

Senior Services of Northern Kentucky is a nonprofit service agency, and does not have salespeople going door-to-door to sell products to the elderly. Any seniors who believe they have been contacted by someone claiming to be from SSNK, should call the agency immediately at 859-491-0522 to report the incident.

Phony insurance products are the No. 1 scam targeting the elderly, according to The National Council on Aging, a nonprofit service and advocacy organization for seniors, headquartered in Washington, D.C. Anyone who suspects that an insurance or investment product might not be legitimate can contact the Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions (DFI), the Kentucky AARP, the state Department of Insurance, the Kentucky Attorney General’s Office, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the Better Business Bureau.

Before investing, check with DFI, Kentucky’s state securities regulator, to verify if the investment is registered and if the seller is licensed. Call 800-223-2579.
