FORT THOMAS – A yoga class focuses on new mothers who need time to heal from pregnancy and the intensity of giving birth.

Their partners in the class, offered at the Campbell County Public Library in Fort Thomas, are their own babies, ages 0-2.

Children’s programmer Joyce Emery explains the program. Yoga promotes physical well-being in the practice of poses called asanas. These help new mothers recover and restore muscle flexibility lost during a nine-month pregnancy. Yoga can also assist new moms with the transition to a new role or a new child. Parenthood is often discussed.

Emery said the class encourages moms and little ones to bond with each other through playful interaction in the asanas.

One example is a mother lying on her back and having the baby placed on her belly.

Moms can then bend forward and reach down to hug, tickle or hold their babies in a fun, lighthearted way.

In addition, mothers can connect with other moms. Some are working to return to their normal size and find the camaraderie beneficial. In some cases, they find emotional support and encouragement from other mothers, according to Emery. Often, lifelong friendships are formed.

The class is free and open to the public.

Phoenix Wilson, 37, a registered yoga and tai chi instructor, teaches the course, unique in Campbell County. She has taught both privately and for corporate classes for 15 years in Northern Kentucky. She chooses centering, restoration and cultivating inner peace.

Phoenix Wilson adds stretch pose in yoga class for mothers and babies.

“I love teaching babies movement interactively in a healthy environment,” Wilson said.

Originally, Emery found a similar program at another studio in 2014 and suggested it for the Campbell County Public Library.

The next Mommy and Baby Yoga class is at 10:30 a.m. on March 18. The Fort Thomas branch is located at 1000 Highland Ave., Fort Thomas, For more information, contact Joyce Emery at jemery@cc-pl.org.

FORT THOMAS – Discussions may pave the way to open a trail closed soon after the Sept.

11, 2001, terror attacks. But action to reopen the trail, which surrounds a water reservoir serving much of Campbell and Kenton counties, will not be a walk in the park.

Reopening the once-popular walking trail off Memorial Parkway is something Haas people have not stopped asking about since it was closed 16 years ago, Fort Thomas Mayor Eric Haas said.

Northern Kentucky Water District fenced off the more than 500-foot trail and water reservoir after 9/11, citing security concerns.

“I think it’s something we will pursue and the water district has been willing to chat with us,” Haas said.

Talks with water district officials are not expected to happen quickly – possibly not starting until this fall, he said.

“They’re willing to talk about it and there are certain security precautions they are going to want us to take,” Haas said.

Reservoir area construction on storm overflow pipes has prevented serious talks, said Amy Kramer, the water district’s vice president of engineering production and distribution.

“Yes, we’re willing to discuss it,” Kramer said of reopening

the reservoir recreation trail.

Concerns about security, safety and liability need to be worked out, she said.

Ohio River water is pumped to the reservoir and stored for treatment. The adjacent Memorial Parkway Treatment Plant treats up to 10.2 million gallons of water daily.

“The reservoir can supply all of Kenton and Campbell counties except for Newport and Southgate,” Kramer said. Newport and Southgate are on separate drinking water systems.

Reopening a reservoir walking trail is one part of a wider discussion about priorities for Fort Thomas’ future, Haas said.

Talks with water district officials likely will not happen until a new city recreation master plan is completed this fall, the mayor said.

Fort Thomas City Council has a 21-page assessment of ideas to consider this year ,including reopening the reservoir trail.

Council will set up committees soon to discuss topics, including recreation opportunities and reservoir walking trail possibilities, City Administrator Ron Dill said.

Creating a new recreation master plan will happen after a new comprehensive plan draft is complete around August, Dill said. Comprehensive plans are designed to anticipate where development and land use opportunities may occur. Kentucky law requires an update of comprehensive plans every five years.

Other corridors for bicycling and pedestrians are being discussed in the city, Dill said.

NKY partnership targets food insecurity Melissa Reinert mstewart@enquirer.com

Between Boone, Kenton and Campbell counties almost 50,000 people are affected by food insecurity, according to Sarah Cook with the Freestore Foodbank.

Generations Church in Independence is doing something about it. After partnering with the Freestore Foodbank on Jan. 14, the church opened its doors at 4161 Richardson Road to the hungry.

“There are a lot of poor people around this area unfortunately,” said Generations Church member Martin West. “Some have been pushed out of work

and are looking for help.

Some are grandparents trying to raise their grandchildren, because their parents have disappeared or are in jail for drugs. It’s a sad situation.”

With food from the Freestore Foodbank and other donations, they were able to provide food for up to a month to families and individuals in need fromSouth Kenton County.

In Kenton County alone, according to a study conducted by Feeding America, 22,760 individuals, including 7,610 children, are affected by food insecurity. In Boone County, there are 13,980 and in Campbell there are 12,320 who are food insecure.

Feeding America is a nationwide network of more than 200 food banks that feed more than 46 million people through food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, and other community-based agencies.

“Food insecurity refers to USDA’s measure of lack of access, at times, to enough food for an active, healthy life for all household members and limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate foods,” Cook said. “Food insecure households are not necessarily food insecure all the time. Food insecurity may reflect a household’s need to make trade-offs between important basic needs, such as housing or medical bills, and purchasing nutritionally adequate foods.”

The Freestore Foodbank works with 350 community partners in 20 counties throughout Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, including food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, community centers, program sites, senior centers and daycare facilities.

Specifically in Northern Kentucky, they serve

nine counties through 78 partners. These partners include five school pantries, seven Kids Cafe sites and 20 Power Pack sites. Five partners host mobile pantries.

Through the Safety Net Alliance of Northern Kentucky, the food bank collaborates with organizations working to increase effectiveness of services for hungry neighbors.

According to Cook, 1in-6 neighbors in the 20

counties that they serve is at risk of hunger.

“We provide 23 million meals to hungry children and families each year through the help of our network,” Cook said.

“Working with our network of partners allows us to get food directly to our hungry neighbors in the communities where they live; this is vital, because many of the neighbors that we serve face transportation barriers.”

Volunteers from Generations Church in Independence welcome locals to their food pantry.

Generations Church is one such partner. The church, Cook said, has a history of providing emergency food to community members on an as-needed basis, supporting their elementary school and Brighton Center’s Recovery Center for women.

They partnered with the food bank to establish a monthly food pantry available to the public.

Along with meat, bread and shelf-stable items, they are able to send over 1,800 pounds of fresh produce for distribution. .

On Jan. 14, church member Martin West said Generations fed about 200 people. About 40 volunteers provided cooked breakfast for the families and then helped them fill carts with bread, meat, fruits and vegetables.

The pantry will open from 10 a.m. to noon Feb. 18, March 18, April 8, May 20 and June 17. A cooked breakfast will be served at 9 a.m. Generations Church is looking for volunteers and donations. For information, call 859-282-6756 or email GenNazFoodbank @gmail.com.

CVG reverses decline in economic impact Fernanda Crescente fcrescente@cincinnati.com

Economic losses in the region around Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport in 2013 have been reversed, but jobs are still amiss, a new study suggests.

The study, which the University of Cincinnati conducted alongside Northern Kentucky University, indicates CVG is currently responsible for $4.4 billion of annual economic impact on local families, businesses and governments and more than 31,100 jobs.

That represents a 22 percent increase compared to a similar study from 2012, when researchers said flight reductions resulted in the loss of 33,000 jobs and $1 billion in annual economic activity.

“We are proud of what CVG means to our community,” CVG’s CEO Candace McGraw said in a news release. “A vibrant airport that moves people and goods efficiently is an important component of the economic vitality of the region.”

But even as the airport comes close to equaling the $4.5 billion economic impact it had in 2005, before Delta Air Lines made cutbacks and regional carrier Comair ceased operations, jobs are still down.

Though the number of jobs has increased since 2012, CVG is still out of approximately 24,000 employees if compared to a study from 2005 that reported the airport was responsible for nearly 56,000 jobs.

Officials previously told The Enquirer the airport had been trying to reinvent itself since McGraw took her position in 2011.

“The report showcases our successful efforts over the last several years to grow cargo operations, develop land around the airport and increase air-service options,” McGraw said. “We’re pleased to see the direct positive impact on the community.”

Since the cutbacks, CVG has brought in airlines like Allegiant Air to help increase passenger traffic and spending per visitor. More recently, Southwest Airlines announced it would serve the Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati communities.

Air cargo carrier Southern Air, a DHL partner, has since relocated its headquarters to Northern Kentucky. In 2015, it expanded operations to carry more cargo to and from DHL’s hub at CVG. Similarly, DHL is working to complete a $108 million CVG investment to increase its ability to sort cargo and handle larger jets.

Team Up with Remke Markets this Weekend Pat Iasillo 1 John 4:11: Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

Just in case you need to be reminded, it is almost Valentine’s Day. Where did this special day come from? The name of the holiday comes from a feast day, appointed

by Pope Gelasius in 496 A.D. Historians believe the feast day held two purposes. One was to honor Saint Valentine of Terni who was executed on February 14th around 278 A.D. Legend has it that Roman Emperor Claudius II had outlawed marriages in order to encourage men to join the army. I am not sure what the relationship between the army and marriage might be, but I’ll let you fill in the punch

line. Saint Valentine continued to perform marriages in secret and when Claudius found out, he had Saint Valentine’s head detached.

The second reason historians believed the church assigned this feast and this saint and on this particular day, was an attempt to replace ancient pagan rituals. Up until the third century, Christians had been persecuted and Christianity was outlawed by the Roman Empire. Roman Emperor Constantine, who ruled between 306 A.D and 337 A.D., had converted to Christianity. He legalized Christianity and declared they should no longer be oppressed. However, some Roman pagan celebrations remained even into the 5th century. One of them was a fertility event called Lu-

CELEBRATING

percalia, which was celebrated every year from February 13th through February 15th.

Without going into great detail, think of Lupercalia sort of as the Roman spring break with animal sacrifices and whips. Part of the festival included an event where young men would pick out pieces of paper from an urn which had names of young women written on them. They would then “partner” for the course of the pagan festival and even the entire year. Of course, Christians wanted to do away with these pagan celebrations, but rather than try to ban them, they created their own holiday to divert attention away from the perverse to more wholesome endeavors. Over time, Valentine’s Day toned down to where young men would write romantic notes to the young women for whom they fancied. The symbols of hearts and cupid used today

are both symbols from ancient Greek and Roman gods.

Now of course, Valentine’s Day is a day set aside to express your affection for the one you love or the people you love. It is certainly customary to give some gift or expression of love to that special someone.

Those that say it is just a commercialized holiday are not aware of its history and likely have not recently had that elated feeling that comes with that special sign of affection which comes from that special someone on this special day; expressions much like this early English nursery rhyme:

to show your affection. Our roses and floral bouquets are from the finest growers, and our Esther Price and Sweet Tooth gourmet candies are locally made. Stop by to see a number of other quality options we offer to let your sweetie know how much you care about them this Valentine’s Day.

The rose is red, the violet’s blue, The honey’s sweet, and so are you.

Thou art my love and I am thine; I drew thee to my Valentine: The lot was cast and then I drew, And Fortune said it shou’d be you

NKU ranks at top for inclusion Northern Kentucky University has been rated the top campus in Greater Cincinnati for its commitment to inclusion and for the services and support it provides to members of the LGBTQ community, according to the national Campus Pride Index.

NKU has earned a 4.5 rating on the organization’s five-star scale, the highest score in Greater Cincinnati and the second-highest in Kentucky. The nonprofit organization rates campuses across the nation

annually for the level of services and support they provide to members of the LGBTQ community, as well as institutional commitment to diversity and inclusion.

“Our campus is a place where all students are not only welcomed, but are given the support and tools they need to succeed,” said Dr. Dan Nadler, Vice President of Student Affairs.

“We are proud that those efforts have been recognized on the national level.”

NKU’s near-perfect rating comes just a little over three years after the Office of LGBTQ Programs and Services was created in 2013, shortly after the university incorporated a specific commitment to diversity and inclusion in its strategic plan, “Fuel The Flame.”

In November 2013, NKU earned a threestar rating on the Campus Pride Index.

Since that time, NKU has begun incorporating gender-inclusive restrooms into all new facil-

ities; offering gender inclusive housing as part of the flexible housing options program; permitting students to use a “preferred name” in instances where a legal name is not required; training University Police officers and dispatchers in LGBTQ competency; and has greatly expanded the programs and services offered through the Office of LGBTQ Programs and Services and other offices on campus.

A peek into the past: Kenton Library boasts 100K online photos Melissa Reinert mstewart@enquirer.com

If a picture is worth 1,000 words, then Kenton County Public Library has 100 million stories to share.

The library’s online historic photo album, Faces and Places, recently added the 100,000th photo to its database.

The photo, from the Kentucky Post, is dated March 14, 1975, and features a man named Bill Penick. This photo is just one of thousands preserved for all to see, and share, online via the Faces and Places website, www.kentonlibrary. org/facesandplaces.

“People love looking at old photos; they connect us to the past,” said library Executive Director Dave Schroeder. “It’s nostalgia. Whether it’s a memory of the community or family member. Old photos allow you see how things used to be. They also allow you to reconnect with loved ones or an old teacher or doctor, anyone who made a difference in your life.”

Schroeder was in charge of Faces and Places when it first began in March 2006. At that time the library had 20,000 photos. Staff was looking to help patrons get more use out of the photos, so they created an online database. “We slowly scanned in what we had and put them online,” he said. “It was such a success it just snowballed from there.”

When the Kentucky Post closed in 2008, it donated its photo archive to the library. Soon people started sharing their photos or collections as well. Now with 100,000 photos online and about 20,000 left to scan, the library has the largest online photo database in the state and one of the largest in the country, according to Schroeder.

The Faces and Places website has received more than 9.2 million views. There are 100,411 images, 6,508 subject headings and 2,023 comments on the photos.

“Comments are important,” said Elaine Kuhn, the library’s local history and genealogy services coordinator. “They give us information that might help someone discover something new when doing research.”

Faces and Places is searchable by keyword, surname, address, city, or subject. Many have been used by local authors, in local history books, by the media, by teachers and students and by museums and local businesses.

Steven J. Rolfes has used Faces and Places for his “Images of America” books. “The Faces and Places database has provided several wonderful photos for each of my books,” he said. “A lot of the photos are not available any other place, or if they are available, the cost for using the photos is astronomical. This is a fantastic resource, and I am very thankful for it.”

Bob Donelan gives a thumbs up as Heather Paparella of Lakeside Park, Pat Allosso, of Fort Mitchell, and Don Paparella, of Lakeside Park, bring bottles of whiskey to Donelan's Patriots Super Bowl party in Villa Hills.

NKY Super Bowl party serves ‘lobsta’ Chris Mayhew cmayhew@communitypress.com

VILLA HILLS – New England “lobsta” is what you serve 30 Cincinnati area Patriots fans hungry for a win at a Super Bowl watching party.

Foxborough, Massachussetts, native Bob Donelan offers guests to his Villa Hills basement a taste of New England each time his beloved Patriots are in the Super Bowl.

For Boston native Don Paparella, of Lakeside Park, Donelan’s basement with a wooden pub-style bar and a crowd of Patriots fans is like having a small piece of home.

“So, we get to have Maine lobster and Tom Brady, too,” said the Lakeside Park resident. “What could be better.”

Donelan never lost his New England accent or love of the Patriots since moving to Northern Kentucky in 2000 for his job as an executive at Fidelity Investments.

“He’s a ‘little’ passionate,” Shayna Donelan, his daughter, said.

Donelan texts his daughter imploring her to watch the game or come over

from her Hyde Park home to watch with him. “He’s always keeping us in the loop of what is happening in the game,” she said, which resulted in a 38-24 Patriots win over the Atlanta Falcons.

Everything at the party has to be about New England, he said. Having “lobsta” and “chowda” is a given at any party in New England the way chicken wings are elsewhere, Donelan said.

“Lobsta, it’s a big joke because in Boston our alphabet has one less letter,” Donelan said. “And that’s the letter R.” Steak and “lobsta” were cooked by a Cincinnati chef born and raised in Maine. Kevin Smith steamed a batch of crustaceans from Maine until they were red in Donelan’s driveway from his “Lobsta Bakes of Maine” mobile kitchen.

Clam chowder, steaks, potatoes, corn and coleslaw were on the menu.

“If the Patriots win this Super Bowl they will be the first team to win five,” Donelan said. “It’s a big one for Tom Brady because he’s coming out of ‘Deflategate’.”

Students solve probems Educator selected to attend Holocaust program through FLL Robotics Students at Sts. Peter and Paul School are solving realworld problems as they participate in FIRST LEGO League Robotics and Robo Challenge Xtreme (RCX) competitions.

Students in fourth through eighth grade can participate in the robotics program.

Because of several donors and the school’s PTC, the students have eight robots, including two of the newer EV3 robots. They use science, technology, engineering and math along with their imaginations to solve a problem and build, design and program a robot.

This year, the robotics teams were given the task of improving a situation in which animals and humans interact.

increase in hate crimes. Now as much as ever we need to be diligent against intolerance and hate speech. People, young people, are concerned about where we are headed. We need to understand the importance of diversity and respect of those different than ourselves.”

Zimmerman said it’s easy to forget about history as more time elapses.

“Holocaust survivors are passing away,” he said. “It’s so important and it’s up to us to keep this part of history alive in our memories so that we don’t go down that road again.”

The Advanced Seminar is a graduate-level program in which educators are given the opportunity to study more focused topics relating to the Holocaust. “These educators have shown a tremendous commitment to teaching the Holocaust in their schools. By attending this intensive program, they will gain an even greater understanding of the history of the Holocaust, which will increase their effectiveness in the classroom and enable them to reach other educators who teach the subject,” Jewish Foundation for the Righteous Executive Vice President Stanlee Stahl said.

FORT THOMAS – Rick Zimmerman’s own desire to learn about the Holocaust led him to teach his students about this complex era.

“It’s hard to pin down what started me on this path, but the biggest reason is that I wanted to learn more about this subject myself,” Zimmerman said. “In 1995, I visited the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, and it just opened my eyes.”

Zimmerman had taught about “Night,” Elie Wiesel’s account of his experience with his father in Nazi concentration camps at Auschwitz and Buchenwald in 1944 and 1945. Afterward Zimmerman started a Holocaust course at Dearborn High School in Aurora, Indiana.

Since then the course has been quite popular among his students. “Students are interested in learning about the Holocaust,” Zimmerman said. “There are many powerful stories, and they want to hear them.”

Zimmerman, an educator from Fort Thomas, recently attended the Jewish Foundation for the Righteous’ Advanced Seminar for Holocaust Educators, an intensive three-day academic program that will explore a number of topics addressing the history of the Holocaust.

He was one of 21 middle and high school teachers from 10 states selected to attend the seminar in New Jersey.

“This experience was very enlightening,” Zimmerman said. “It has given me more context for what I’m teaching. I feel like I came back to teaching with more authority and a broader understanding of this complicated subject.”

According to Zimmerman, it’s important that younger generations are exposed to this part of history, often overlooked in history books.

“That’s why I made the Holocaust a part of my teaching mission,” he said. “Why do younger generations need this? All you have to do is look at what’s happening right now. There is an

Fool proof filet mignon

THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

Chocolate mocha pots de crème can be whipped up in five minutes.

We all know how expensive this cut of meat is, but it’s oh so elegant and delish. Here’s a fool-proof way of making it. Thanks to the Mt. Carmel reader who told me about this. “A friend of mine gave the recipe to me. It’s trending on the web right now. I’ve served these with a side of roasted asparagus and steamed potatoes with butter,” she told me. The instructions are in detail for clarification.

Ingredients 2 beef tenderloin steaks, 8 ounces each cut 1 inch thick Olive oil Very light dusting of garlic powder (optional) Salt and pepper to taste 2 heaping teaspoons finely minced shallot or red onion 2 slices bacon, not thick sliced, room temperature

Instructions Let steaks sit out 20-30 minutes to come to room temperature. They will broil better with less shrinkage.

Place oven rack in second highest position under broiler. Set oven to broil on high.

Rub steaks all over with olive oil.

Sprinkle all over with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Cut bacon to fit each tenderloin and wrap around the sides of each steak, Secure with string or toothpick.

Broil for 5 to 8 minutes. Turn the steaks over, and sprinkle the tops with shallots, patting the shallots down on top a bit. Broil for an additional 5 to 8 minutes, or until the steaks are cooked to your liking.

Tips from Rita’s Kitchen Variations: if you don’t want shallots, here’s a couple suggestions for topping the steaks after they’re cooked.

Horseradish sauce Regular jarred horseradish and sour cream. Go to taste, adding horseradish to sour cream in small amounts.

Serve alongside steak or dollop on top.

Blue cheese butter Mix 4 tablespoons softened butter with 3-4 tablespoons blue cheese, a couple shakes of dried basil, and a tiny bit of minced garlic, to taste. Place a spoonful on top of each steak.

5 minute chocolate mocha pots de crème This is pronounced “po de crem.” Now that’s fancy!

Makes a generous 4 cups or so. You can use ramekins, punch cups, wine glasses, whatever to pour the mixture into.

It’s important for the eggs to be room temperature and the coffee very hot to “cook” the eggs to a safe degree and to make a smooth crème.

Ingredients 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips 4 large eggs, room temperature 2 teaspoons vanilla Dash salt 1 cup strong, very hot coffee

These Valentine’s Day sweets easy to whip up I’m still getting requests for easy desserts for Valentine’s Day. One of the easiest is the recipe I’m sharing today for chocolate pots de crème. Sounds fancy and difficult, doesn’t it?

Well, guess what. You won’t believe, really, how easy this recipe is.

Just follow instructions and you’ll have the most special chocolate dessert ever. Get ready for lots of compliments!

nut oil. Here’s what Dr. Oz has to say about cooking 1 cup rice, which contains about 200 calories, and adding coconut oil: Add teaspoon of coconut oil to rice: Coconut oil contains healthy fats that can change the composition of the starch in rice to reduce calories.

Instructions Place the chocolate chips into a blender. Add eggs, vanilla and salt. Blend until mixture looks gritty, so that all the chips are ground up.

Pour coffee slowly in a thin stream. That way, the eggs won’t curdle. Blend until smooth, about a minute.

Pour into desired containers, cover tightly and refrigerate 4 hours or up to 3 days.

Tip from Rita’s Kitchen What do you do if mixture just happens to curdle a bit? Just push it through a strainer. The reason this might happen is that you poured the hot coffee in too fast.

Crème Chantilly Heck, you may as well go full tilt. This is simply whipped cream with sugar and flavoring.

THE ENQUIRER/CARRIE COCHRAN

Motorcyclists drive past the Rabbit Hash General Store on Feb. 5. The warm, sunny weather and music had brought a crowd to the historic town.

‘New old store’ almost complete in Rabbit Hash director of the Boone Conservancy, did a project while getting her master’s degree and meticulously photographed the store.

“Early spring is still what I’m saying, but we’re getting finished up really quick,” Unterreiner said.

Don Clare, president of the Rabbit Hash Historical Society, said he’d like to have a weeklong celebration once the store is open, because the community deserves it.

“We’ve come so far that we want to see the plan out. We want to get the antiques in and hanging from the ceilings,” Clare said.

Sarah Brookbank sbrookbank@communitypress.com

RABBIT HASH – The year that followed the fire that took down the Rabbit Hash General Store was full of change for the small historic district. Now, driving through town, the fire on Feb. 13, 2016, might just seem like another catastrophe the store survived, like the 1937 flood.

Construction is coming to an end on the “new old store.” Inside the white walls seem brighter and the window trim is red instead of blue, but the floors still squeak and the salvaged back door still leads to nowhere.

Ray Simpson, owner of Integrity Electric, has been putting the finishing touches on the General Store, making sure the electric is up to code while fitting into the feel and history of the store.

“We’re honored to be a part of it. It’s probably the coolest job I’ve ever done. I love Rabbit Hash and everything about it,” the Union resident said.

“It’s almost like a memory, like it didn’t happen at all.”

Ed Unterreiner, owner of Rivertown Construction Inc., is putting finishing touches on the store, where his company has been working since May. “This project has been really great. I don’t want to leave the town. But I know there is more work for me here,” Unterreiner said.

All that’s left is to finish the shelves and build the counters, then the walk-in will be installed.

Unterreiner said people who drive through town are amazed at how identical it is. He got lucky. His daughter Mary Unterreiner, executive

What’s next for Rabbit Hash?

Clare posted on Facebook asking the community to help once again, this time not pulling down old houses or painting walls. It’s filling the store.

“The fire ate up every antique we had hanging and everything we had on that very top shelf. Everything was gone unless it was metal. We’d find a little metal piece and go ‘What was that from?’

The fire totally emptied out the building of that stuff. That’s why we’re asking for donations,” Clare said.

Clare is hoping to start collecting items soon. The antiques that made it through the fire will make their way from storage to the “new old store.” While Clare said some items might not be as exciting as what they used to have, that isn’t what matters.

A donated lard jar from a family member isn’t just a knickknack to put on a shelf, Clare said.

It’s a connection to the store and the experience of Rabbit Hash.

Common Core needs dramatic changes Readers deserve to know what the late commentator Paul Harvey aptly called “the rest of the story” regarding Kimberly Kennedy’s recent op-ed in The Community Recorder defending the Common Core State Standards.

Regarding “myths”: Real education standards not only describe in great detail what students are expected to know and be able to do but also include details about how success in meeting those standards will be measured.

Such performance standards, as they are called, provide essential information for curriculum developers, teachers and test creators. Common Core provides absolutely no direction in this critical area, creating huge confusion about what actually constitutes a successful performance.

Common Core also leaves out trigonometry and calculus, which is no way to get students ready for careers in science, engineering and technology.

Let’s talk money: The op-ed laments that Kentucky needs to spend millions to fix Common Core. But school districts statewide already spend more than $7 billion in tax revenues annually. If that huge sum isn’t

being well spent, using just a fraction of 1 percent of that $7 billion to correct problems would be more than jusRichard Innes tified. Kentucky can’t COMMUNITY RECORDER GUEST afford to spend COLUMNIST such huge sums on an inadequate education program.

Unbridled proof Common Core works? Neither of Kennedy’s two examples – Advanced Placement courses nor a Harvard Study – can tell us much about Common Core.

Advanced Placement courses cover material well above anything dealt with by Common Core. Harvard’s study covers a two decadeslong period beginning well before the standards program even started.

Plus, the author is strangely silent about much-better evidence from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), which isn’t encouraging for Common Core in Kentucky.

“All student” NAEP Grade 8 math scores dropped from 31

A publication of

percent proficiency in 2011, the year before Common Corealigned testing was introduced in the commonwealth, to 30 percent in 2013 and 28 percent in 2015.

Due to NAEP’s sampling errors, none of these years’ scores are statistically significantly different from the others; however, the constant downward trend certainly offers no indication of the kind of progress Kennedy claims is occurring.

Kentucky’s eighth-grade NAEP reading proficiency rates don’t look any more encouraging, either.

The commonwealth’s “all student” reading proficiency rate moved from 36 percent in 2011 to 38 percent in 2013 and then dipped to 36 percent in 2015, again offering no proof that Common Core works in Kentucky.

Kennedy’s op-ed discusses a “survey” supposedly showing 88 percent of Kentucky teachers and education stakeholders give Common Core a “thumbs up.”

These results appear to come from a Kentucky Department of Education request for comments on how to improve individual parts of Com-

mon Core.

The KDE request prohibited any calls to fully eliminate the standards and wasn’t a valid random sample of either teachers or citizens in general.

The results of last year’s gubernatorial election offer the best evidence of how Kentuckians really feel about Common Core.

Matt Bevin won handily on a platform that included clarion calls for its removal. This was the most-important – and most-accurate – “survey” regarding Common Core, and our governor knows that.

There are many other problems with Common Core too numerous to mention here.

Overall, the standards are very incomplete in some subject matter coverage – particularly for high schools – and especially with the lack of performance standards.

Dramatic changes are needed to fix these problems, and Kentucky needs to start that process now.

NKU senior Cole Murray gets the ball in the Jan. 22 game against Detroit Mercy.

Another 3-pointer for the tall drink of water from Delphi, Indiana.

“He’s refreshing. Just a genuine guy, a free spirit,” Brannen said. “Everything he does, he’s got that spirit. I call him the positive dog.”

Murray, a natural forward who moved into the starting rotation at guard due to injury, ranked second on the Norse and fifth in the Horizon League with 41.7-percent 3-point shooting. He shared the league lead with 70 converted 3s and ranked tied for 20th nationally. He was averaging 10.1 points after 23 games.

Practice makes perfect. As a third-grader, Murray made five 3-pointers in his very first competitive basketball game.

He recognized that he possessed a unique skill and

Norse Classic brings friends together Marc Hardin Enquirer contributor

The way Northern Kentucky bowler Emily Harrison figures it, she and the University of the Cumberlands’ Jillian Bunnell were meant to be friends. And the seniors can thank the annual Norse Classic, completed Saturday at Super Bowl Erlanger, for bringing them back together.

“We keep running into each other,” Harrison said. “It’s super crazy.”

Harrison and Bunnell grew up north of Cincinnati. Harrison attended Mason High School. Bunnell went to Franklin.

Then they started crossing paths.

By chance one summer during their early prep years they became softball teammates playing for the Sudden Death travel team. They had some things in common, including the same 2013 graduation year. They laughed a lot. They talked

even more. Inexplicably, neither mentioned their burgeoning passion for bowling. They enjoyed the summer playing softball and went separate ways.

Bunnell wound up starring on the diamond at Franklin, batting .538. She carried a 196 bowling average as a senior and finished in the top 50 at the USBC Nationals. She signed with the softball and bowling programs at the University of the Cumberlands.

Harrison bowled four years at Mason. She was a three-time all-Greater Miami Conference selection and GMC bowler of the year before committing to NKU’s club team.

Once in college, it took less than a year to reunite at the maiden Norse Classic in 2014.

“We had no idea we both bowled. We couldn’t believe it, being at the same tournament and competing against each other,” said Harrison, who

carries a team-best 183 average. Sydney Renner is next for the Norse at 175, followed by one-time Harrison star Emma Kukelhan at 171.

Many of the teams that bowled Saturday also rolled Sunday in Lexington at Morehead State’s tournament, allowing Harrison and Bunnell to double their pleasure.

Competing in Erlanger were 32 men’s and women’s teams, including Thomas More, Cincinnati and Miami University.

The Emanuel College women, led by individual champion Destiny Harper, won their third straight Norse Classic with a pin total of of 7,039.

Morehead State took the men’s team crown.

NKU placed 10th one spot ahead of Thomas More.

Corey Wilson was high finisher in 13th for NKU. Jake Farley was a teambest 27th for Thomas More. Bowling Green’s Kyle Waynick won the individual championship.

WITH YOUR PURCHASE*

There is a sense of anticipation among the Northern Kentucky University men’s basketball faithful when senior Cole Murray gets the ball behind the 3-point arc “He’s an elite shooter,” Norse coach John Brannen said. “It’s fun to watch.”

Watching is seemingly all that Southeast Missouri State and Detroit Mercy could do in a pair of December games in which Murray shot 8-for-11 from 3-point range in Cape Girardeau, Missouri and 7for-12 in Detroit.

In the return engagement at BB&T Arena last month against Detroit Mercy, Murray received the ball near the top of the key about six minutes into the contest. As the 6-foot-7 swingman squared with the basket, bent his knees and began the ascent for a 3-point jumper, the end of NKU’s bench rose to its feet as if choreographed by an unseen director.

Murray released the basketball at the top of his jump. NKU’s bench curled around the opposite baseline so everybody could see. As the ball rainbowed to the basket, the bench jumped in unison.

Swish.

worked at its finer points with constant shooting away from practice.

Murray is a career 41percent 3-point shooter, ranking in the school’s top-10 in both accuracy and converted 3-pointers.

He’s on pace to rank fifth all-time at NKU and first in the NCAA Division I era in 3s made. Last season against Illinois-Chicago he converted 87.5 percent (7for-8) from long range, matching Dennis Gagai’s NKU single-game record.

He knocked down at least three treys in a game on eight of nine occasions, beginning with three each against Delaware and Miami University, both games in Oxford. After Murray helped ignite NKU’s first-ever win over Miami with a season-high 11 bench points, RedHawks coach John Cooper said the Norse gunner was mighty dangerous.

Most teams missed the memo. Murray reset this season’s personal singlegame scoring high in three of the next five games. He sank four 3-pointers against Morehead State and scored 12 points. He drained five treys the next time out accounting for all 15 points against Norfolk State. His career-high eight 3s against Southeast Missouri State fueled a season-best 26 points.

Seven steps to a successful gardening season If you haven’t already, you will be receiving seed catalogs for the 2017 vegetable-growing season. While listening to the cold wind blow outside, what a comfort it is to think about spring and summer and planning your garden. To make the most of your garden, every aspiring gardener should follow seven steps to have a successful gardening season. » Plan your garden on paper before you begin. » Select a good gardening site that has full of sun for at least eight hours each day, relatively level, well-drained, close to a water source and not shaded. » Prepare the soil properly and add fertilizer and lime

according to soil-test recommendations. » Plan only as large a garden as you can easily maintain. Beginning gardeners Sarah Stolz often overplant, and then they EXTENSION EDUCATION they cannot keep up with the tasks required. You’ll have to control weeds and pests, apply water when needed and harvest on time. Vegetables harvested at their peak are tasty, but when left on the plants too long, the flavor is simply not the best. » Grow vegetables that will produce the maximum amount of food in the space available.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Mayor and Council City of Ft. Thomas, Kentucky Report on the Financial Statements We have aud1ted the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Ft. Thomas, Kentucky, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Opinions In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material re-spects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Ft. Thomas, Kentucky, as of June 30, 2015, and the respective changes in financial position. and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis on pages 5-10 and budgetary comparison information, schedule of City contributions. and schedule of proportionate share of net pension liability-hazardous and non hazardous on pages 39-45 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational. economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements. and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

Other Supplementary Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City of Ft. Thomas, Kentucky’s basic financial statements. The combining and individual budget and actual nonmajor fund financial statements are presented for purposed of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The combining and individual budget and actual nonmajor fund financial statements are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subject to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statement or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combing and individual budget and actual nonmajor fund financial statements are fairly stated in all material respect In relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated February 12, 2016, on our consideration of the City of Ft. Thomas, Kentucky’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City of Ft. Thomas, Kentucky’s Internal control over financtal reporting and compliance.

OFFICIAL PUBLICATION INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the Council City of Southgate, Kentucky Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Southgate, Kentucky, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing

procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control.

Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context.

We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the

basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

Supplementary Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The combining non-major governmental funds schedules and the budgetary comparison schedules of the non-major governmental funds on pages 34-37 are supplementary information and are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility

In our opinion, the information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

OFFICIAL PUBLICATION Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated January 3, 2017 on our consideration of City of Southgate, Kentucky’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters.
