Opportunity knocks at BAWAC: Work and place for N. Kentucky Melissa Reinert mstewart@enquirer.com

FLORENCE – Susan Brown rubs her fingers through her blonde-grayish hair; her eyes large and inquisitive behind her glasses.

“I like working,” the 53-yearold Covington woman said, during a quick break. “It gives me something to do. It gives me money to buy the things that I want and the things that I need.”

There’s also a sense of pride that comes with working. Brown likes to brag a little about how well she’s doing production wise. “When it comes to my job, I want it done good.” She’s also proud of the relationships she’s made.

“The people here are nice,” she said. “I’ve got a lot of friends here.”

Brown works at BAWAC (Boone Adult Worker Activity Center), a production facility located at 7970 Kentucky Drive, Florence, that provides employment, training, vocational and life skills to people who have disabilities. Brown works on the floor where she performs assembly and packaging jobs.

She’s been employed for five years.

BAWAC also offers supported employment, helping individuals find work in the community; and an adult day care program, the Helen R. Ziegler Life Transitions Center. BAWAC also offers transportation for clients and serves the entire Northern Kentucky region.

According to president Ken

“You know what having a job does for any other person – the sense of responsibility and independence – it’s the same thing for the people we’re helping.”

KEN SCHMIDT BAWAC President

Schmidt, BAWAC is more than about finding employment, it’s about finding one’s place.

“You know what having a job does for any other person – the sense of responsibility and independence – it’s the same thing for the people we’re helping,” Schmidt said. “Having a job means a lot. They feel there is a place for them.”

BAWAC began in March 1943, as a unit of the Northern Kentucky Mental Health-Mental Retardation Regional Board.

Schmidt was there from the beginning.

“So many individuals were coming out of school wondering what they would do,” he said. “So we started.”

In 1975, responsibility shifted from the Regional Board to its own volunteer board of directors. Throughout the years, BAWAC has expanded and developed new programs to meet the needs of people who have disFILE PHOTO

Sen. Schickel tired of sexual harassment training swartman@nky.com

Every year, legislators listen for three hours about ethics laws and how to avoid sexual harassment in the workplace.

Sen. John Schickel, R-Union, wants two-and-a-half hours of that time back.

Schickel filed a bill Friday, Senate Bill 152, to scale back

“The ethics training is totally ridiculous,” Schickel said. “Legislators sit through three hours at taxpayers expense to be told by a bureaucrat who’s making six figures and elected by no one what’s ethical and what’s not.”

abilities or barriers to employment.

Currently, BAWAC is running a capital campaign to pay for the new 10,000-square-foot addition and a partial renovation of the existing building that was completed in 2015. They have reached 83 percent of the $1 million goal, thanks to the generosity of many donors, Schmidt said.

“We have been incredibly blessed through the years to have so many people help us,” Schmidt said.

BAWAC operates as a nonprofit, supported in part by United Way. The services offered are freeof-charge to clients. BAWAC builds its operation-

al budget on fees charged to agencies for services, revenue income and donations and other contributions.

“Community Support is so important and needed at BAWAC,” said Brian Wigger who handles development and communications for the organization. “Community involvement is so essential.

BAWAC is a part of the fabric of the community and not segregated from the community. In order for BAWAC to continue its great and important work, we must help live life to the fullest and live united with the community.”

To help, donations can be sent to BAWAC at 7970 Kentucky Drive, Florence KY 41042 or call them at 859-371-4410. BAWAC also accepts auction donations for the annual

FLORENCE

Bean Bash event held every October at Turfway Park, as well as donations toward goodie bags for the golf outing, held every June.

There are also opportunities to help in the Life Transitions Center, such as serving lunch, assisting with breaks, reading to the clients or serving snacks, Wigger said.

They also need assistance with social media sites.

“We appreciate any involvement we can get,” Wigger said. “We appreciate any donated items, any volunteers to give their time and talents, and financial opportunity to be shown to BAWAC. All of this helps us achieve our mission which is: help individuals with disabilities to be as self-sufficient as possible within the community.”

Schmidt said the work being done at BAWAC is

of the utmost importance.

“People who have disabilities are part of the community, but it’s difficult for them to be accepted,” he said. “We provide that acceptance. These people we’re helping have talent. They have the same needs as anyone else. All these years later we’re still here fighting to ensure those needs are met.”

In 2016, BAWAC employed, on site, 107 people.

Twenty were served through the Life Transition Center and the supported employment department served more than 180 people. In the last five years, BAWAC has provided transportation for those who have disabilities. To date, the department transfers 372 people a day, covering 50,000 miles a month.

tant to debate. One lesson from harassment training Schickel said he particularly found ridiculous was advising lawmakers not to slam doors.

“If you slam a door, that could be creating a hostile work environment,” Schickel said.

“Talk like that scares me.

The Kentucky General Assembly is a place where ideas are debated and debated vigorously. People are afraid to express opinions, argue forcefully.”

Wouldn’t it just be easier to go through the training rather than pick this fight?

“No, absolutely not,” Schickel said. “Every legislator I know is afraid to say anything.”

Remke Markets Paying Back Their Employees Pat Iasillo

2 Chronicles 15:7 : But you, take courage! Do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded.”

Do you remember your first job? I bet you were somewhat frightened and I bet you were proud. Especially when you received your first paycheck. I also bet you look back at that job and realize what you learned was an important step in growing up.

I remember my first job. I caddied at a nearby country club. I started when I was 9 years old. In retrospect, I was probably a little young but I soon learned everything I needed to do to be a good caddy. I learned where to stand while the golfer is hitting; not behind them, not to their side, but facing them and far enough away the golfer would not see me peripherally or not so my shadow was within their eyesight. I learned how not to move or talk

so not to distract him or her. I learned to keep an eye on the ball when the golfer hit so I could find it. I learned how to hold the pin and where to stand so not to cast a shadow over the hole when the golfer is putting and not to step in the line of a putt of another golfer; to rake the sand trap after a golfer hit out of it, etc.

When I started at nine, I was the youngest kid who hung around the caddy shack waiting to “get out” which means get a golfer or golfers and earn some money.

(By the way, there is a lot of truth to the movie Caddy Shack). At that time, it was first-come-first serve so there were many unsupervised kids who arrived just after sunup and before any adults arrived. I will not go into detail but think Lord of the Flies. I also learned to avoid some events like Mumblety-peg, which involved throwing a pocketknife between

I also learned schlepping around with two heavy golf bags for four hours on a hot summer day was real work.

I also learned that no matter how hard I tried, I was lousy golfer.

As you probably already know, one of the most popular jobs for young folks while they are in high school and college is to work at a grocery store. In the entire United States, young workers age 16 to 24 years of age hold nearly one-third of the grocery store jobs. There are some practical reasons why this is true.

Family-run Remke Markets supermarket chain is sold Alexander Coolidge acoolidge@enquirer.com

Remke Markets has been sold to a Findlay-based company, the grocer informed shoppers Feb. 24.

Remke’s 10 supermarkets in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky will remain open, but come under the management of Fresh Encounter Inc., which operates four other grocery chains. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

The family-led company, founded in 1897, was the last locally based supermarket chain other than Kroger Co. “The decision to sell Remke Markets was a difficult one, however, we are excited that these new resources will allow us to greatly enhance our customer experience,” wrote Remke’s president Matthew Remke in a Feb. 24 letter to customers. “This change will allow us to continue to deliver on our promise of a local, neighborhood grocery with exceptional service in convenient locations, as well as to preserve valuable employment for our dedicated associates.”

Remke added the move allows his father, Bill Remke, to retire after spending 60 years at the company.

Remke concluded by thanking customers for 120 years of loyalty. Bill Remke was the third generation to run the market chain.

The Erlanger-based chain has closed three stores since 2015. The shuttered Columbia Township, Newport and Westwood stores were originally part of the ailing bigg’s chain that Remke Markets acquired in 2010 from Supervalu.

Generative Growth LLC is a corporation whose members include thirdgeneration grocers Michael S. Needler Jr. and Julie Needler Anderson. Fresh Encounter’s family of markets include Sack ‘n Save, Community Markets, Great Scot and Chief Markets.

Remke and Generative Growth officials were not available for comment.

In recent years, Remke had emphasized its deep roots in the community

based on national market research that showed such roots carried weight with consumers.

In 2013, in a major rebranding, the chain once again became Remke Markets, dropping the name Remke bigg’s it had taken after the 2010 deal, which brought Remke across the Ohio River a year after it had closed a store in Deer Park.

Financial terms of the 2010 deal with Supervalu, which was Remke’s wholesale supplier, also were not released.

Bigg’s had introduced a then-foreign concept to the U.S.: a supermarket that also offered general merchandise. The first bigg’s “hypermarket” in Union Township opened in 1984, predating Wal-Mart’s first supercenter that opened in 1988 in Washington, Missouri.

Bigg’s struggled in the region after 2000 as competition intensified from not only Kroger, but other nontraditional rivals. Mass-discount stores such as Wal-Mart, Target and Meijer – even drugstores like Walgreens and dollar stores like Dollar General – had discovered that selling food drove traffic.

Remke did not take all of the bigg’s stores; it dropped the non-grocery merchandise because it had no wholesale supplier for those goods.

For roughly 25 years, Remke has operated with an employee stock ownership plan.

Participants in the Chemical Dependency Program in the Campbell County Detention Center.

The program, run by Kristie Blanchet, is voluntary and runs six-months in the jail, with two-year aftercare. It includes counseling, group sessions, GED curriculum and AA classes. The women wear different uniforms from the rest of the jail population and are housed in a different area that was part of the jail expansion. From R-L: Hannah Watson, 18, Misty Adams, 38, Michelle Burns, 28, Destinee Antoun, 27 and Amanda Willoughby, 29.

Women locked up willingly, hoping to break heroin’s grip Terry DeMio tdemio@enquirer.com

NEWPORT - They almost look like members of a club, all wearing fitted khakis and red polo shirts.

They like to sit in a circle to talk, to laugh and to cry. Every morning, they get up and get dressed for their day. And every so often, to kick back and relax, they’ll be treated to pizza and a movie.

These half-dozen women, ages 18 to 38, are in jail for six months each. But they all want to be here.

And once their sentences are over, they will continue being helped for as many as two more years with their addiction recovery.

Welcome to the Recovery Unit of the Campbell County jail, a new addition fashioned by social worker Kristie Blanchet, the jail’s new chemical dependency program manager.

The unit is her creation, based on evidence-based research along with jail and community services support. Campbell County specifically planned for the treatment wing, which for now is solely for women, with its $7.5 million jail addition. The addition includes 24 beds specifically for those with addiction.

Years into the clutches of a nationwide heroin epidemic, Campbell County’s is just the latest jail in the Cincinnati region to host an addiction program. But this program is unique in that it will not end with the release of its participants.

The women will get up to two years of help outside from social service agencies that are part of a wraparound team to break the

grip of addiction.

So far, every woman in the recovery program is fighting heroin addiction, and some of them have been struggling with it for years.

“I knew I had to be locked in,” said Misty Adams, 38, of Over-the-Rhine, who’s been addicted to heroin for 10 years. “I knew that I would continue to run, continue to use, if I wasn’t. I’m a runner.”

She came to the program when it opened, having been jailed on a drug possession charge in November after she overdosed on Newport’s 11th Street Bridge.

“Heroin has destroyed me,” she said. “But me going through this program is helping me build my self-confidence.”

Blanchet said she’s working on securing a grant to get coverage for a shot of injectable naltrexone – a medication that blocks the effects of heroin and opioids – for women before they leave the jail.

She’ll connect the women to medical services to continue that medication-assisted treatment.

The nonprofit Brighton Center, a Northern Kentucky community services hub, has partnered with Blanchet to guide women for up to two years after they’re released. Case managers will help women get links to housing, clothing, food, education.

The Northern Kentucky Health Department will provide weekly nurse visits to the women and their children. Spokeswoman Emily GreshamWherle said the health board approved $50,000 in

startup costs and is checking whether Medicaid can help cover costs.

Greater Cincinnati Behavioral Health is on board, too; it will help counsel and educate the women’s families. And, for those who need its services, the Women’s Crisis Center will be called upon to help, Blanchet said.

“They are in recovery.

They need to be recoveryfocused,” Blanchet said.

That’s why the inmates in her wing do not wear striped jail scrubs. They are severed from the general inmate population.

They are expected to be ready for classes, which range from therapeutic counseling to GED preparation.

Along with that comes responsibility, Blanchet said, such as “getting up every morning and getting ready for the day.”

“They need to look nice, and presentable,” she said.

“We’re trying to help people instead of looking at a punishment. We have recognized that people need treatment.”

The approach suits Destinee Antoun, 27, of Covington. She’s been in the program since Jan. 3 after she slipped from a fiveyear recovery period.

“I will do anything to get that back,” Antoun said.

She cried as she told of her fall into heroin, saying she’s disappointed her children and her grandparents. But now, Antoun said, she is beginning to realize that there is hope.

“I’m not a bad person.

I’m not a bad mom,” she said through tears. “I’m a sick mom.

“I chose this program.”

As Merit Scholar finalists, they will have a chance to earn one of 7,500 National Merit Scholarship awards, together worth more than $30 million. Last fall Paige Avery, Paige Kappes, Allison Linkugel, and Seamus Sweeney were notified that they were National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists.

These students were selected based on their performance on the 2015 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT).

Fellow seniors Sydney Auteri, Lindsay Beechem, Meghan Oldfield, and Bridget Palmer were notified that they had been selected as National Merit Commended Students. More than 1.6 million students took the PSAT/NMSQT in October 2015.

Approximately 16,000 students were designated as National Merit Scholar Semifinalists, and roughly 34,000 students were designated as Commended Students. Of those named as Semifinalists, around 90% attain Finalist standing; these students will now compete for MERIT Scholarships.

Conner a part of Poetry Out Loud tourney

CE-0000670661

Twenty-three Kentucky schools – including Conner High School – will send students to compete on March 7 for the title of state champion in the Poetry Out Loud statewide competition.

Poetry Out Loud is a poetry recitation contest sponsored by the Kentucky Arts Council, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation.

The competition starts at the classroom level. Winners advance to schoolwide competition, then to the state competition in March at the Grand Theatre in Frankfort. The state champion will represent Kentucky at the Poetry Out Loud national finals April 25-

26 in Washington, D.C. A group of storytellers, poets and stage performers from the Kentucky Arts Council’s Teaching Artists Directory will be visiting each of the participating schools to mentor students on how to improve their recitations.

Winner of the state finals receives $200 and an all-expenses-paid trip with an adult chaperone to Washington, D.C., to compete for the national championship. The state winner’s school receives a $500 stipend for the purchase of poetry books. The first runner-up receives $100, with $200 going to his or her school library.

Chicken Vesuvio For the Fairfax reader who had eaten this in a Chicago restaurant. I first heard about this recipe in a movie a few years ago and have been making it ever since. It can be made in the oven or on top of the stove. The waiter told the reader it was a Chicago favorite.

This stovetop version is really good. The recipe is slightly adapted from a Cook’s recipe.

I used thighs since they stay moist. The seasonings are approximate, too.

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts (1-1/2 pounds or so) Salt and pepper Olive oil About 2 pounds baby red potatoes, halved, or larger ones, quartered, peeled or not 2-3 teaspoons garlic, minced 1 teaspoon fresh or dried rosemary, minced 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional) 1/2 to 3/4 cup Chardonnay or other dry white wine 1 can low-sodium chicken broth 1 generous cup frozen peas, thawed 2-3 tablespoons butter 1 tablespoon lemon juice or to taste

Chicken Vesuvio can be made in the oven or on top of the stove. The waiter told the reader it was a Chicago favorite.

A week for gifts without ribbons

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Film a large nonstick skillet with olive oil and heat until just smoking. Cook chicken until golden, but not done. Remove from pan.

Add enough oil to cook potatoes, cut side down, until golden brown.

Stir in garlic, rosemary, oregano, red pepper flakes and salt to taste and cook just until fragrant, about a minute.

Add wine and broth, scraping up browned bits, and bring to boil.

Return chicken to skillet on top of potatoes. Reduce heat to simmer and cook, covered, until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender, about 12 minutes. Transfer chicken and potatoes to serving platter; tent with foil.

Increase heat to medium high and cook, uncovered, until sauce is reduced to your liking. Stir in peas and cook until heated through.

Off heat, whisk in butter and lemon juice. Adjust seasonings. Pour sauce over chicken and potatoes.

How to cook spaghetti squash For Northwest Press reader Patricia Tierney, who is still looking for creative ways to cook this, and acorn squash. Spaghetti squash is called that because the cooked pulp looks just like skinny spaghetti.

Preheat oven to 350.

Split squash in half lengthwise, and remove seeds.

Lay cut side down on baking pan, which has been lined with parchment paper or foil, sprayed with cooking spray. (No need to spray the parchment). I like to add a little water around the squash to keep them from burning on the bottom.

Bake 35-40 minutes, or until knife pierces skin easily. Let cool a bit, scoop out pulp with a fork, separating into spaghetti-like consistency.

Serve with your favorite pasta sauce and Parmesan cheese, or toss with pesto or even a little butter and salt and pepper.

THE ENQUIRER/LIZ DUFOUR

The Cincinnati Bell Connector makes its way up Elm Street by Findlay Market in Over-The-Rhine.

‘No pass/no drive’ law 10 years later In 2007, the Kentucky Legislature passed “The No Pass/No Drive” law requiring 16- and 17-year-old students to meet sufficient academic and attendance standards to maintain their driver’s license or learners permits. Any family that has had a teenager recently apply for a first-time learners permit has seen this requirement because a school compliance verification form must be completed by the school before the permit is issued.

A student is deemed to be non-compliant and to have his or her license or permit revoked if either they have had nine or more unexcused absences, including suspensions, during a semester or not passing at least 66 percent of his or her classes.

All schools must report noncompliance of any and all students each semester. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet then will notify the student by mail that his license to drive a car has been revoked.

The student can request a hearing in District Court to attempt to get his license reinstated for good cause shown, such as that the student did not drop out, is not academically deficient, or that a family hardship situation exists where the license is absolutely necessary.

If a student re-enrolls in school, he may apply to have his driver’s license reinstated at the end of the semester during

which he reenrolls. The purpose of the license suspension provisions is to discourage kids from dropping out of Steven J. school. Many Franzen students do not drop out of COMMUNITY RECORDER GUEST school because COLUMNIST of the fear of losing their license or decide to re-enroll in school and/or attend school regularly in order to get their license back after a suspension.

This law has also survived challenges to its constitutionality under the U.S. Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause and Due Process clause. In reviewing the law, the Court of Appeals found that driving a car was a legitimately regulated privilege and not a fundamental right of the student. The court reasoned that the law was appropriate legislation concerning a legitimate state interest of trying to keep 16- and 17-year-old students in school with passing grades.

RECORDER

Cincinnati.com/northernkentucky

Local taxes for charter schools a bad idea I believe using local tax dollars as part of the formula for paying for charter schools is a bad idea, especially for Northern Kentucky.

Let me explain why.

As a region, Northern Kentucky pays a higher percentage of local tax dollars to pay for our schools.

Even though education is a state responsibility, in some Northern Kentucky school districts we are covering over 60 percent of the costs.

In Fort Thomas, where I live, citizens pay 64 percent of our kids’ education through local taxes.

That’s right, of the $9,035 per student, we only get around 36 percent from state funding.

Because of that fact, we have higher than normal local property taxes.

Most of the time we quietly go along with tax increases.

I think we do this for a couple of reasons.

First, we have a terrific school board that is elected by our community.

Unlike some communities, many consider the Fort Thomas school board election to be more important than the City Council! Because we have such a good group, we know when they determine local money needs to be increased, it is for good reason.

Second, we know that without a terrific school system, our property values would plummet.

When we vote to raise our local taxes for our schools, we know we are

voting on something that will indirectly increase the value of our homes.

Neighbors Brent that don’t Cooper even have kids unCOMMUNITY RECORDER derstand GUEST that fact.

COLUMNIST This brings me to House Bill 520.

This bill is a charter school bill. The current language would authorize any student to take his/ her local and state tax dollars and use them for any school in the state of Kentucky.

So, imagine your neighbor decides to send his child to a school in another county. Not only do the state dollars follow the child, so does your local tax dollars. The tax dollars that our locally elected school board voted to increase for the benefit our local community would be spent somewhere else.

Furthermore, the bill makes it possible for the dollars to be spent toward a “virtual school” that could be located a completely different region of the state. This, despite the fact that nearly every “virtual school” has demonstrated terrible outcomes for students.

Spending local taxes outside our community would be tough to take for those of us in Northern Kentucky. I honestly don’t believe it’s constitutional.

That said, if it were to survive a lawsuit, it could

be very bad for communities like ours. We are already in a constant battle over funding. To introduce that kind of dynamic would be a nightmare to manage.

Most of us believe that some sort of charter school bill will pass in Frankfort this session.

What is in the final version matters.

Having our local school boards in charge of charters is a good idea.

Charters should be required to accept all kids (poor, disabled, etc.), just like our public schools.

Charters should be required to meet the same academic standards and adhere to the same levels of accountability as our public schools.

Having state dollars follow a child is one thing, but local dollars should be left out of the discussion. If they need additional funding (beyond state dollars) to make it work, they will need to make up the difference some other way.

If you agree there are some problems with House Bill 520, please let your representative know.

Call the LRC Message Line at: 1-800-372-7181 and/or call your representative’s office at 1502-564-8100 and ask for them by name.

If you care about your kid’s education, and/or your property values, take a minute to engage on this issue.

Brent Cooper is president of C-Forward in Covington and a resident of Fort Thomas.

May Senate Bill 7 die as soon as possible I plan to ask my State Senator to sponsor a bill that would allow me to release my pet rattlesnakes in the Florence Mall. And perhaps another that would result in a mandatory uniform modification for all Kentucky State Troopers.

My bill would require that Trooper badges be replaced by the Target department store logo.

But, wait! Senator Albert Robinson, R-London, has already introduced Senate Bill 7 which would essentially do the same thing.

In summary, SB7 states that any person, as young as 18, could carry a concealed gun without training, background check or permit.

Is this a public safety issue? I believe it is and I don’t appear to be alone in this opinion.

Kentucky police oppose the bill that would deregulate concealed weapons and would allow anyone over 18 to conceal a deadly weapon without registration or training.

Gun-safety trainers oppose it, as well. Educators fear that high school upper-

classmen will arrive at school one day with a score to settle.

Each time I pass a Jim trooper who Fiorelli has angled his unit COMMUNITY RECORDER GUEST behind one COLUMNIST pulled over, I say a little prayer. I pray as I watch the trooper gingerly approach the car knowing full well that life and death just might be in the hands of the driver or under the driver’s seat.

Senator Robinson has been quoted as saying, “My bill is constitutional and is for law-abiding citizens.”

The Constitution part is undeniable, but the lawabiding part gives me pause.

How many police deaths by firearms can be attributed to law-abiding citizens?

How many mass shootings?

How many homeowner deaths during a B&E? I thought those folks were called “felons.”

The bill has several sponsors, one of whom is Union resident Senator John Schickel, a retired police officer, who served the city of Florence for over a decade, and was a U.S. Marshal for the Eastern District of Kentucky for seven years.

In the event that the bill passes, I recommend that it contain addendum verbiage that requires that Senator Schickel and all SB7 cosponsors attend every funeral for a law enforcement officer killed in the line of duty by a person or persons who benefited from SB7.

And that they personally offer their condolences to the young widow or widower, the mother or father of two toddlers whose spouse is being interred and now has to face the future alone.

Heaven help the police officer and the educator.

May SB7 die as soon as possible, as opposed to those injured or killed by Senator Robinson’s “lawabiding citizens.”

Hoops teams celebrate district titles James Weber jweber@communitypress.com

The Cougars and Jaguars of Conner and Cooper came into their third match of the season Feb. 23 on the prowl and ravenous for a district championship in girls basketball.

Cooper, in its ninth season of existence, had never won the 33rd District. The Jaguars had never won a game in the tourney before this week, going 0-8 all-time before beating Boone County in Tuesday’s semifinal to secure their first-ever Ninth Region tournament berth.

Conner, meanwhile, had not won a title since 2007, and the Cougars had only reached the final three times since then as the Cougars and Jaguars have spent the past decade looking up at Boone County (six championships since 2007) and Ryle (three).

Thursday night, in the shadow of multiple banners showcasing Boone County’s accolades in girls basketball, the similarly named rivals played a scintillating district final. Ultimately Conner won 61-57. It was Conner’s third title in 19 seasons, and the first for head coach Aaron Stamm.

Both teams advanced to the Ninth Region Tournament at BB&T Arena.

“We had Sydney Moss for four years, Jenna Crittendon for four years, and the Ryle team that just graduated for four years,” Stamm said. “It’s been unbelievable. We knew if we stayed the course, it would be our turn eventually, and it happened.”

Conner senior Caylee Duncan tied the game at 57 with a layup following a Cooper turnover with a minute to play. Following another Cooper turnover, sophomore Maddie Burcham was fouled by a Cooper player as they fought for the ball at mid-court. Burcham hit two free throws to give the Cougars the lead at 59-57.

Cooper missed two shots on two straight trips. Sophomore Courtney Hurst made two foul shots with 2.8 seconds to go for the final margin.

“This is the greatest feeling, overcoming this, there’s no bet-

The game took on the same tenor as the previous two meetings between the rivals. Conner won 60-58 on Dec. 10 at Cooper, and Cooper won 65-62 at Conner on Jan. 21. In both games, Cooper had a double-digit lead and Conner mounted a late comeback.

In the rubber match, it was Conner turning the tables and dominating for three quarters.

Conner led 27-10 late in the second quarter and 30-20 at halftime. The Cougars led by 19, 50-

31, late in the third before the Jaguars started clawing back.

The key for Conner was defensive pressure and balanced, uptempo offense.

Conner forced seven turnovers in the first quarter and 15 through three quarters.

During what appeared to be the decisive third period run, Maddie Burcham had six points, Madi McLemore five and Blaire Kennedy four.

But Cooper came back. Junior guard Lexi Held had eight points and Emily Bleska five during a 15-2 run that cut the margin to six at 52-46. Hailey Anderson of Cooper made two free throws to make it 55-54,

Covington Catholic senior Nick Smith typified the Colonels experience of looking up at the Tigers. He finished second in the state in both the 200 freestyle (1:38.29) and the 500 freestyle (4:27.76). Both were automatic All-American times and his personal bests, but behind St. X junior Aldan Johnston who won both events. In the 200 free, Smith was just 0.36 seconds off the previous state record but Johnston broke it.

Smith anchored the Cov Cath foursomes that finished second in the 200 freestyle relay and

third in the 400 freestyle relay.

St. X won both of those with Johnston’s help, shattering CovCath’s two-year old state record in the 400 relay in the process.

“It’s awesome that we could stay as state runner-up, losing five of our best swimmers from last year,” Smith said. “It’s awesome we could put together a team.”

CovCath sophomore Ethan Hanna won three state medals, two in individual events, for Cov Cath. Junior Joey Novak had one. Peyton Fletcher, Pierce Knollman and Patrick Merse also scored points for top-16 finishes.

In the girls meet, Ryle’s Nicole Alderisio and Alexa Arkenberg qualified for the finals on day two. Arkenberg did so in both her individual events. Ryle also made the consolation heat in two of its three girls relays.

Notre Dame senior Samantha Glass won her first state title, winning the 20 0individual medley.

She was one of two champions for the Pandas. Junior Sophie Skinner won her third state championship in the 100 freestyle and fourth overall, winning in 49.89 seconds, just a tenth of a second off her state record from two years ago.

Skinner finished third in the 200 freestyle. Both of her solo events came in automatic AllAmerican performances. Glass was sixth in the butterfly.

Skinner and Glass accounted for four of Notre Dame’s 10 individual state medals for topeight finishes. NDA’s relays finished second, third and fifth.

The Pandas finished second in the team standings with 265 points, 107.5 behind Sacred Heart, who won its seventh title in eight years and 28th all-time.

Senior Amanda Smith was second in the backstroke in an automatic All-American time, and fourth in the 200 free. Sophomore Allie Piccirillo had a sixth and a seventh place. Senior Carlee Jones was eighth in the IM and junior Sophie Middendorf sixth in diving.

Cooper wins boys: Braydon Runion was voted Mr. Hustle in Division I last weekend by the Northern Kentucky boys basketball coaches association.

The Cooper junior sometimes rebounds like a post player, and other times shoots like a guard. He always gets his teammates fired up.

As he does before every game, Runion stood in the middle of Cooper’s pregame Feb. 22 and led them with a rally cry. The Jaguars then gathered around him and jumped up and down before tipoff.

“I loved it,” Runion said. “We were sharing the ball really well.

We play our best when everybody gets to eat.”

Ryle beat Conner 60-58 in the other semi. Ryle senior Austin McDaniel hit a jumper from 10 feet that hit the rim, bounced up, and dropped as time expired to lift the Raiders in the second semi. Ryle (15-16) was 3-1 against Conner (1512) this year, with all three wins by two points. McDaniel also hit a layup at the buzzer in the previous meeting between the teams.

“It’s crazy,” McDaniel said. “I didn’t want it to end. Senior year. I wasn’t letting it happen. I was doing everything I could do to get the win.”

Cooper routed Ryle to win the district title 60-25. Sean McNeil was tournament MVP. Runion and Kunkel were all-tourney. McDaniel and O’Hara made it for Ryle.

Woman turns grief into action Alice Sparks’ commitment to service started when she was a young intern to Kentucky’s first lady Mildred Chandler in the mid-1950s.

The Fort Mitchell resident joined the Board of Regents for Northern Kentucky University and served as its chair – the first woman to do so at any state university in the commonwealth. She later served on the boards of trustees for the University of Kentucky and Thomas More College.

Eight years ago, Sparks’ community involvement became more personal when her 12year-old grandson Alex was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer.

Alex bravely battled but ultimately lost his fight. Sparks and her family were grateful for the compassionate care pro-

vided by their Hospice of the Bluegrass team, and wanted to ensure other families would have the same access.

Sparks turned her grief into action by establishing an annual event to raise money for Hospice of the Bluegrass. The Fore Kids! Golf Classic has been held for seven years and has raised nearly $200,000 to provide hospice care to other children.

Through her generosity, Sparks has touched many lives.

Hospice of the Bluegrass recently honored Sparks at the Annual National Philanthropy Day Celebration, organized by the Association of Fundraising Professionals Bluegrass Chapter for making a profound difference in her community and beyond.

THE ENQUIRER/CARRIE COCHRAN

People gather outside of Hotel Covington where people gathered to protest President Donald Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. McConnell was a speaker at a luncheon inside the hotel with the Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati Chambers of Commerce.

McConnell protester: ‘I’ve got to be part of this’ Chris Mayhew cmayhew@communitypress.com

COVINGTON – Retired federal court clerk Susan Bridges took part in the second protest of her life Feb. 23 because, she said, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s staff does not answer phone calls.

Bridges’ first protest was the Cincinnati women’s march Jan. 21.

“I wasn’t always involved in politics,” Bridges said. “I am now and I will stay involved.”

Phone lines have been “jammed” at national and

local field offices by a concerted national effort, McConnell press secretary Stephanie Penn said.

“It’s been an outside campaign to jam our phone lines and it is frustrating to Kentuckians who can’t get through,” Penn said.

People can get through to McConnell via his website, she said.

“There just isn’t enough staff to answer the phone calls from across the nation,” Penn said. “Every day our offices do our best to take as many calls from constituents as possible.”

And as Senator McConnell has said, “I appreciate the many Kentuckians sharing their comments and for their patience with the jammed phone lines. I might suggest to people who’ve had that experience, the best way to contact me is online.”

Hundreds of protesters shouted demands for a town hall with McConnell outside Hotel Covington at Madison Avenue and West Seventh Street.

McConnell met inside with chamber of commerce members from Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.

Bridges, 67, a Wilder resident, carried a sign asking for the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, to be saved.

A Republican push to repeal and replace the health care act is one of Bridges’ many beefs with McConnell. The retired chief deputy clerk for Southern District of Ohio federal courts said she has called McConnell and Kentucky’s other senator, Rand Paul, for three weeks. Bridges hasn’t been able to speak to a person in either senators’ office or leave a phone message. She’s sent email and website messages with no response from McConnell. Paul’s office sent a “boilerplate” response, she said.

“I can’t talk to the man,” Bridges said of McConnell. “He won’t listen. He’s not accessible.”

President Donald Trump’s campaign and actions motivated Bridges to act. “The travel ban and the way he talks to women and the way he Tweets is deplorable,” she said.

“And the way he lies is the main point.”

Most of the protest consisted of speeches, poem readings, songs and a recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance.

Heated verbal exchanges erupted when two pro-Trump counterprotesters showed up to state their cases to protesters. A few people protesting McConnell walked up and hugged the Trump supporters. Bullhorn-carrying protesters yelled, “Don’t give them the time” and asked others to turn their backs rather than yell at each other.

Newport resident and college professor Tina Neyer carried an “I’m not a Loser. I’m one of your constituents” sign.

Neyer said she is offended by McConnell’s comments that winners make policy and losers should go home. Neyer said she is worried about efforts to diminish or eliminate the U.S. Department of Education and the Environmental Protection Agency.

“It’s not appropriate to abolish an oversight department,” Neyer said.

Florence resident Jeff Smith came to protest stepping back progress on social issues.

“We should be taking care of everybody,” Smith said.

LIFE

MARCH 2, 2017 • COMMUNITY RECORDER/BOONE • 7B

Exercise increases so many aspects of living With the beautiful weather we have had this winter, there really have been no excuses for not doing some type of intentional physical activity most days of the week.

On particularly cold days, a walk inside is OK. Whether around your house, around a Diane track, or Mason around the mall, walkEXTENSION NOTES ing may still be possible. If you can’t walk, explore other activity options that work for you.

Why is exercise so important?

According to an article in Tuft’s Health and Nutrition Letter, “a study of 1.44 million adults reports that physical activity is associated with lower risk of 13 types of cancer, including three of the four most common – breast, colon and lung cancer.” The research showed that simply meeting the recommended guideline of 150 minutes a week of moderate exercise or 75 minutes a week of vigorous exercise was associated with lower cancer risks.

The Centers for Disease Control reports that other benefits can be realized from regular moderate physical activity including. » Weight control » Reduced risk of type 2 diabetes and better blood sugar control » Reduced risk of cardiovascular disease » Strengthen bones and muscles » Reduced risk of metabolic syndrome » Improved mental health and mood » Improved ability to do daily activities and prevent falls, especially among the elderly » Increase your chances of living longer.

Moderate exercise can be as easy as walking at a pace of 3 to 4 miles an hour (about a 15 minute mile). If you aren’t up to that pace yet, walk anyway and build toward it.

Lace up the shoes, grab a friend or family member, and take a walk around the neighborhood.

Or, explore neighborhoods around the area.

You might be surprised at what you discover on the adventure and just how much better you may feel.

The purchaser may pay all or part of the purchase price in cash, and may pay the balance of the purchase price on a credit of 30 days after date of sale; said credit shall be granted only upon the execution by the purchaser of bond, with surety thereon, and said surety shall be a lending institution authorized and doing business in Kentucky, or a reputable fidelity or surety company, authorized and doing business in Kentucky, and only if said surety be acceptable to the Commissioner of the Boone Circuit Court; and an authorized officer of the surety must be present at the sale or must have given the Commissioner adequate assurance of its intent to be surety prior to or at the sale; and said Bond shall be, and shall remain, a lien on the property sold as additional security for the payment of the full purchase price, and shall have the full force and effect of a Judgment; and said Bond shall bear interest at the rate of Twelve (12%) Percent per annum until paid.
