Construction has begun at Duveneck Square development on Washington Street between 7th and 8th Streets in Covington. The structure will be a four-story, high-end multi-family development.
N. Ky. construction cools as remodeling projects heat up
ALEXANDRIA – Baptist Life Communities is on track to open its new Seasons of Alexandria retirement living complex in Alexandria in November. The new $46 million community will have room for 183 older adults including 117 skilled nursing beds. Construction crews are building a 90,000square-foot community on 10 acres of fenced-off land at Ky. 709 and AA Highway in Alexandria. Alexandria’s new community will eventually replace Baptist Life’s Newport location. A slimmed-down version of Newport Baptist Convalescent Center of Newport will remain open after The Seasons of Alexandria opens. Newport Baptist Convalescent has 167 skilled nursing
beds and 30 personal care apartments. The Seasons of Alexandria will include 50 additional assisted living apartments, 16 additional memory care residences and a health and wellness center. Construction progress remains on schedule, Baptist Life CEO Robert Long said. “We won’t be done until November,” Long said. Building a care facility to state specifications takes time, he said. “We’ve got inspectors up there every day,” Long said. Erlanger-based Baptist Life additionally operates Baptist Village in Erlanger with 80 independent living units and 100 skilled nursing beds and the 12 independent living units of Griesser Farm in Burlington.

The housing construction industry in Northern Kentucky cooled in 2016 as residential remodeling and commercial building heated up dramatically. “We are seeing the bright shoots of growth in Northern Kentucky, primarily in commercial activity and residential remodeling but we haven’t seen much of a rebound in new single-family housing,” said Brian Miller, executive vice president of the Home Builders Association of Northern Kentucky. The association recently released stats on the Northern Kentucky construction industry in 2016. In 2016, overall residential production fell 5.5 percent with a total of 799 permits issued in 2015 compared to 758 in 2016. “Northern Kentucky is simply not pacing with the U.S. in terms of any sort of rebound from the Great Recession for the residential market as a whole,” Miller said. In addition, building patterns vary among the three Northern Kentucky counties. Campbell County has seen increasing activity while Kenton is stagnating, according to Miller. Boone County continues to be the growth leader in practically all segments of the construction sector. “When you dive deep into the data, the largest three builders command over 65 percent of the market,” Miller said. “Our small to midsized builders

are still suffering. They are doing better than during the recession but in some cases not much.” One of the biggest issues is availability for builders to get financing. “For the smaller guys, banks are wary to loan them construction funding,” Miller said. “And if they do have construction funding as a whole, the small to midsized builders are hesitant to go out and do any speculative building whatsoever.” Another issue is the emotional scars the recession left on small business owners, Miller said. “I talk to small builders who are out actually framing their own homes right now or they used to be in sales or management and I tell them, ‘look if you would staff up a little bit and put some speculative homes out on the market that
are smart in the right locations, you’d do a lot better.’ They say, ‘you don’t understand, I had to fire all my best friends.’ That has left a mark on them and they don’t want to do that again. They’re making emotional decisions.” The big builders, meanwhile, are having one of their best years on record in the Northern Kentucky market, Miller said. That’s how it’s been for Drees Homes, one of the largest homebuilders in the region. “It’s been a very busy year,” said Drees Northern Kentucky division president Mike Conklin. “Sales have remained very steady this past year and a bit on the strong side. We are very optimistic that sales will remain strong heading into 2017.”

in developing new communities, such as the Enclave at South Ridge, located off Turkeyfoot Road in Erlanger. Sales in this community have been strong, Conklin said, and lots are moving fast. “We’re also experiencing wonderful growth in Campbell County,” he said. “Our Eagle Ridge community in Alexandria has seen more than 20 sales since we opened in early summer. Our Arcadia community is also doing very well in Alexandria. We have some very exciting new communities coming on board in 2017, too.” One such community will be Audubon Forest, which is off of Audubon Drive in Park Hills. “We are very excited about this and have already received many inquiries,” he said. “We hope to begin presales this summer. Development of the community is projected to start sometime in late February or early March. This is one of many new communities coming on in 2017.” Conklin said he credits Drees’ success to low existing inventory, low interest rates, good employment opportunities, new communities and floor plans, and relocations. “A strong local housing market is a great indicator of a growing economy,” Conklin said. “Couple this with the recent news surrounding Amazon’s $1.5 billion investment at CVG and you have very positive economic forecast for Northern Kentucky.” But there are some obstacles to overcome, according to Conklin. “The biggest obstacle within our industry is the supply of qualified trade contractors in the area,” he said. “This situation is happening nationwide and
will continue to be a struggle for many years to come.”
Residential remodeling on the rise in NKY Residential remodeling activity in Northern Kentucky continued to accelerate. Permits issued for remodeling were up 48 percent from 1,401 in 2015 to 2,080 in 2016. “The amount of residential remodeling in our area is impressive and outperforms our recent forecasts,” Miller said. “The trend mimics the U.S. residential home improvements numbers. Residential remodeling is now at an all-time high in terms of volume of permits issued.” In addition, the value of a remodeling permit now is at a record $40,000. The director of the University of Cincinnati’s Real Estate Center, Shaun Bond, says single-family home construction has been slow to recover after the recession because of changing demographics. “Where new homes are being built, there tends to be more focus on infill construction, and less on the large-scale suburban track development that occurred during the housing boom in the middle part of the last decade,” he said. “This is being driven by changing demographics the move back to the urban core and the downsizing trend for baby boomers, as well as a general shift away from home ownership.” Bond said some aspects of this trend are behind the growth in remodeling. While there have been fewer single-family homes built over the last few years, there has been growth in multifamily construction.
vice, professional, and philanthropic efforts. The luncheon also provides funds for the Notre Dame Student Tuition Assistance Program. For more information or to make a reservation, contact the Notre Dame Advancement Department at 859-2927729 or visit www.ndapandas.org. Multifamily “has lead the way in residential construction since the recession as many people are choosing to rent rather than buy,” Bond said. “I would be a little cautious in interpreting year-toyear movements in commercial activity, as this data tends to be a lot more volatile than the residential construction data. There may be some factors specific to Northern Kentucky that haven’t helped, such as the move by Toyota (to close its North American manufacturing headquarters in Erlanger).” Bond expects, however, that economic growth will be positive for the region going forward.
Commercial construction looks brighter While the commercial construction industry took a small step back in 2015, the overall capital investment in the Cincinnati region continues at a high level, according to Miller. In 2016, new commercial investment was up 20.6 percent to $117 million, compared to $97 million in 2015. “Since the recession, our commercial market has changed,” Miller said. “We are predominantly a reinvestment market rather than a new commercial investment market.” In 2016, commercial reinvestment came in at $268 million. The biggest challenge for new commercial investment, according to John Curtin with Paul Hemmer Cos., is the lack of available large tracts of land. “Finding the perfect site in Northern Kentucky is a challenge and somewhat slows down the ability to build,” Curtin said. “There are a lot of hills and valleys and you have to work with the Corps of Engineers on mitigation costs, these costs can be very prohibitive.” According to Miller, these costs and restrictive land-use policies are a barrier to investment in new commercial structures. “We did not keep pace with the nation’s commercial investment until 2015,” he said, adding that “2016 matched the nationwide level.”

Remke Markets Makes Online Grocery Shopping Convenient Pat Iasillo Over the past decade our world has become more accustomed to shopping online for the products we want. It makes sense not to waste time and effort shopping if we can just as easily click a few buttons to accomplish the same thing. However, there has been some reluctance when it comes to products we like to feel and touch before we buy. We don’t mind purchasing a book online or the latest toy, but some of us like to try on a pair a shoes before we buy them or like to feel the material on an article of clothing. The same thing is even more true when it comes to shopping for food. We want to be
in control when we pick our apples or our lettuce, or a beef roast. Therefore, shopping online for our groceries has met with some resistance. It can also be painful to sort through over 30,000 products to find what we want. That is all changing. Remke Markets has carefully thought through these issues before we offered an online solution to our customers. After all, we have been in business for almost 120 years, partly because we keep the wants and needs of our customers at the top of the list on our approach to the grocery business. That is why we offer something a little different; a personal shopper. Our personal shoppers
are carefully chosen to be as picky as our pickiest customers when it comes to choosing what to put in the basket. They also are people who are anxious to learn just what you like, how you like it, and if they don’t know, they will call you and ask before they choose. We feel confident you will be pleased that your shopper will far exceed your expectations. Couple a personal shopper with the ease of the Remke Mobile Markets website and you have a means of shopping for your groceries that is second to none. With your registration of your Remke Rewards card on our website, you now have access to the top 100 items you normally purchase at your fingertips. You may also like to shop our weekly ad.

Erlanger’s chicken policy debated Melissa Reinert mstewart@enquirer.com
ERLANGER – Anne Eizyk loves her chickens. However, where she resides in Erlanger it’s illegal to keep chickens. Eizyk lives on Division Street, where her neighbors are in close range. According to the city’s nuisance law, chickens can only be kept if they are 500 feet away from neighboring property lines. “Right now I’m about 87 feet from my next-door neighbor and about 200 feet from my neighbor in the back,” Eizyk said. Last summer her three hens, Hush Puppy, Rocha and Kusheet, were discovered by a police officer who wrote Eizyk a citation. She has gone before City Council numerous times since to get the city’s law changed so she can keep her chickens and so others can have the same right. “Having chickens is a great experience,” Eizyk said. “The current 500-feet rule, basically, prevents any resident from raising hens, unless they are wealthy and land-endowed. It discriminates against the average homeowner who would like to pursue the hobby of raising backyard chickens.” Eizyk said council refused to consider her request until this year when new Councilwoman Jessica Fette took up the cause. “I don’t think she’s asking for all that much,” Fette said. “I’ve done a tremendous amount of research and there are neighboring cities such as Edgewood, Independence and Covington whose ordinances have less restrictions than ours.” Fette said her goal is to find a “middle ground.” “I developed an ordinance that would allow Anne and oth-

ers to keep chickens, but also took into consideration others’ concerns.” The ordinance, that has yet to go before council, would allow chickens within 50 feet of neighboring property lines. The law would require that the chicks be purchased from a hatchery certified by the Natural Poultry Improvement Plan, which conducts USDA approved testing to ensure the health of the chicks. Along with certain specifications for the coop, and a limited number of hens, the law would also require a city-issued permit and consent from one’s neighbors. Cities all across the U.S. and the Tristate are changing their ordinances to accommodate backyard chickens. According
to Covington City Administrator Larry Klein, Covington enacted its chicken ordinance a few years ago at the request of several residents. “It seems to be going well and the city does want to promote urban agriculture,” he said. In this age of conscientious consumerism and a growing desire to live a “greener lifestyle,” backyard chickens are helping to achieve this goal, according to Eizyk. “They are environmentally friendly, and provide us with food,” she said. “I first decided to get chickens because of the mosquitoes in my back yard. I was getting eaten up. I got the chickens and they are a natural and safe pest control. They recycle table scraps and give us
fertilizer. They keep the grass short and help remove vegetation destroying pests such as slugs and snails, Japanese beetles, and even mosquitoes, thereby reducing the use of toxic insecticides.” And almost every morning they provide Anne with a “delicious and nutritious” breakfast. “Oh their eggs are wonderful,” she said. “You can really tell a difference from storebought eggs. They contain more vitamin A, C, folic acid and omega 3 fatty acids, and have less cholesterol. Chickens are also therapeutic. I work in the ER and do three 12-hour shifts a week. I come home from a busy day and watch them, it’s very relaxing. I love my chickens.” Erlanger resident Laura Tal-
lent said she loves chickens too, but is against any change to Erlanger’s nuisance law. “I grew up in Erlanger and we had chickens,” she said. “I loved them. Keeping them within 500 feet of others’ property ensures a lot of land for chickens. I’m against the 50-feet proposal. It’s too close. I don’t think it’s good for neighbors or chickens.” Tallent cited noise and smell issues, as well as health concerns. Tallent said a report from the Center for Disease Control showed there were 252 cases of salmonella from backyard chickens in 43 states in 2015. In 2016, there were 895 cases, she said. Kentucky was No. 4 and Ohio was No. 2 in the state for the most cases. “It’s not just a public health concern for me either,” Tallent said. “I’m concerned for the animals, too.” Tallent said a rescue in Minnesota called Chicken Run Rescue has seen an increase in abandoned hens as raising backyard chickens gains popularity. “All of our rescues come from the inner city and suburbs, in other words, from backyards,” said Mary Britton Clouse, president and founder of Chicken Run Rescue.

Retiring Skyward president: ‘Anyone can make a difference’ Bill Scheyer discovered early to develop vision Melissa Reinert mstewart@enquirer.com
COVINGTON – As a youngster, Bill Scheyer spent many a day pulling books off the shelves at the library. Having a vivid imagination, Scheyer would put himself “in the action.” Often, he’d discover himself standing in the crowd at the dedication of the Soldier’s National Cemetery in Gettysburg hanging on every word spoken by President Abraham Lincoln. Scroll through the years and there Scheyer was at Walt Disney Studios, next to the famed cartoonist himself, watching him squiggle Mickey Mouse on a page. “These things captured my attention,” Scheyer, now 67, said. “I was always interested in reading about people and history.” Walt Disney happens to be a favorite of the soon-to-be retired Northern Kentucky’s Skyward president. “Like all those I read about, I was interested in his background and how he came to be who he was,” Scheyer said. “The thing that fascinated me most about Walt Disney was his ability to create a slightly different reality. He had the ability to create a universe that was like our own, but a little bit brighter. He had vision. He could picture in his mind what he wanted people to see, feel and experience. And he accomplished it.” Perhaps the same could be said of Scheyer himself. “Bill has passion,” Jill Morenz, Skyward’s director of operations and vibrancy initiatives, said. “It’s a passion that makes people want to be involved. He’s a strategic thinker and has vision for what could be. He is an effective leader be-
cause he engages you in his vision.” That vision, Scheyer said, has always been a “brighter” Northern Kentucky. Scheyer, of Union, grew up in Covington. He enjoyed baseball and reading. Through his interest in books he found himself inspired at an early age to make a difference in his community. “I spent a lot of time at the Covington branch of the Kenton County Public Library and read just about every biography in the young adults section,” he said. “I was interested in people’s story – what they had done with their lives. What that did was create a real desire in me to make a difference with my life. I knew I could do anything I wanted to do and I wanted to do something interesting, something positive.” Scheyer always had an interest in society and communities work and wondered what makes society tick. So, he studied sociology at Northern Kentucky University. For 20 years he worked in health care management at Bethesda and almost 20 years in government administration in Erlanger. Then he found his “perfect fit.” In 2009, Scheyer started serving as president of Vision 2015, now known as Skyward. Skyward is Northern Kentucky’s planning agency whose goal is to implement the five-year myNKY with a focus on early childhood education, people’s health, jobs and making the area more vibrant. On Feb. 9, the Skyward Board of Directors voted to reorganize under a new operating model designed to expand the impact and magnitude of projects in Northern Kentucky. The new organization will be called The Alliance. As a result of myNKY, Skyward has implemented LiveWell NKY, a key plan to provide Northern Kentucky with a common vision for a culture of good health. LiveWell lays the framework for active living, healthy eating and being tobaccofree by engaging communities, work sites, schools and faith-based organizations. Skyward is also behind Pre-K Works, a

collaborative of community stakeholders who are united by a vision for high-quality early learning experiences for all 3and 4-year-olds. In 2015, Pre-K Works was piloted by Erlanger-Elsmere Schools as a demonstration site by implementing an innovative model that includes multiple partners, shared resources, integrated delivery of child care and parent engagement, and collective measurement in the hopes of garnering statewide replication of the model. Last year the district’s kindergarten readiness score jumped from 37.4 percent to 45.5 percent. Scheyer said he is happy with his work at Skyward, but credits his staff and teammates for all its successes. It’s that kind of humbleness from Bill that inspires former Northern Kentucky University president Jim Votruba. Votruba, who now is president emeritus and professor of educational leadership at NKU, has known Bill for more than a decade through their work with Vision 2015. According to Votruba, much of Scheyer’s regional leadership has been
achieved behind the scenes. “He has been willing over and over again to allow others to take credit for work that he has nurtured and led,” Votruba said. “Bill has demonstrated over and over again his capacity to convene a broad array of community organizations and leaders on behalf of a shared community agenda. He knows how to connect the dots on behalf of regional economic, social, and civic progress. Jeanne Schroer, president and CEO of the Catalytic Development Funding Corp. of Northern Kentucky, said Scheyer is a “very high-energy and results-oriented person.” She and Scheyer met through the Quest planning process, the planning initiative that preceded Vision 2015. When the Catalytic Fund was formed in 2008, they became reacquainted. Scheyer was president of Vision 2015, which initiated and supported the Catalytic Fund. “Bill is excellent at bringing together organizations and individuals in agreement to drive specific outcomes and change,” Schroer said. “He is respectful of and open to all points of view. Personally, he is extremely friendly, outgoing and sincere. He is a good and loyal friend.” According to Schroer, another lasting impact Scheyer has had is in the creation of UpTech. UpTech is Greater Cincinnati’s tech accelerator program. At the end of February Scheyer will retire from Skyward. But he’s not hanging his hat up completely when it comes to community planning. Scheyer will serve as chairman of the board for Green Umbrella, an alliance working to maximize the environmental sustainability of Greater Cincinnati. Green Umbrella’s vision is to have the region recognized as one of the top 10 most sustainable metro areas in the nation by 2020. Scheyer has one piece of advice for the organization, The Alliance, that will take on Skyward projects: To remember that “anyone can make a difference and have impact on their community.”

Greater Cincinnati’s success rallying education, business and industry, philanthropy and community organizations to solve pressing and complex social problems will draw national attention March 2-4 during the NEXTLIVESHERE: Social Change Innovation Summit. Thanks to a $250,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) Includes grant, the Kingsgate Marriott Conference Center at the University of Cincinnati will host 200 regional and national leaders and those interested in increasing diversity in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education and careers. UC’s College of Education, Criminal Justice, and Human Services won the conference grant, along with nine others across the country, last fall. Funding covers the registration and meal costs. The summit immerses participants in a deep exploration of barriers, successes, best practices and cutting-edge research with local experts and visionaries from across the country. Cincinnati has become a center for collective impact, a framework of cross-sector partners with a shared vision, goals and measurement to forge social change. Specifically, the summit addresses
bone organizations participating in the grant and conference. Grant principal investigator Kathie Maynard, CECH assistant dean for innovations and community partnerships, shares NSF’s “glocal vision of
working local and thinking global. This convention will create deeper engagement locally to drive an elevated strategy of STEM education and careers,” which offer higher salaries and fill a growing regional job shortfall. “We want to replicate the models working in Cincinnati using our national networks and this summit.” The term collective impact was coined in 2011 in the Stanford Social Innovation Review. Executive philanthropy adviser Shiloh Turner, a local resident with global experience in social change. “We all have a role to play in community impact to achieve shared goals and, when we work together, we have a much stronger chance of actually making large scale social change happen.” “Cincinnati has been creating this type of social change even before the terminology existed,” according to Turner. “She’s witnessed collective impact solve large-scale wicked problems and believes it can tackle NSF’s initiative by “establishing a shared goal with shared measurement so all are on the same page and working toward the same thing.” Turner will participate in the conference as a “firestarter,” an expert who will be on the ground lighting conversation
rather than lecturing from a podium. “The point is to introduce provocative concepts and open shared dialogue to learn together.” She plans to push a little “and talk about where we need to get better. Cincinnati has been very successful with engagement at the institutional level, but less so in engaging the people directly affected. It’s a real challenge to get better at authentic communication.” Maynard expects about two-thirds of attenders to be local, many representing the regional organizations with a track record of social change. The Greater Cincinnati Foundation, StrivePartnership, United Way of Greater Cincinnati, the Carol Ann and Ralph V. Hailes, Jr/U.S. Bank Foundation, Partners for a Competitive Workforce, Greater Cincinnati STEM Collaborative and Design Impact are part of the grant and conference. These organizations will also participate: Agenda 360, Green Umbrella, Local Initiatives Support Corporation, Success by 6 and Skyward. The other third will represent NSF Includes projects from around the nation. For more information or to apply to attend, visit cech.uc.edu/NLH or call 513556-5745.

Students earn college credit through culinary classes A growing number of Northern Kentucky high school students are earning college credits through their schools’ articulation agreements with the culinary program at Sullivan University’s the National Center for Hospitality Studies. Louisville-based Sullivan – which opened a Northern Kentucky campus in Fort Mitchell earlier this year – has articulation agreements with Highlands, Campbell County, Grant County and Williamstown high schools, and is working to forge similar agreements with other schools. Sullivan is also promoting additional articulation agreements in business and information technology to Northern Kentucky high schools as well as its JumpStart program, which allows students to take up to four Sullivan classes for free while they are still in high school. Their only expense is the textbooks. “Sullivan University has great opportunities and programs for high school students to take college classes at only the cost of books,” said Katelyn Phillips, Family and Consumer Science Teacher at Campbell County High School. “Our students love taking the culinary arts classes offered at the high school. They get to learn trendy cooking techniques as well as operating a student-ran catering business for our school and community. “We do so much handson cooking and learning, the students see how this real world skill is beneficial to them and how they can use these techniques in the future,” Phillips said. Sullivan University Provost Dr. Kenneth Miller said articulation agreements allow parents and students to save money on tuition costs while providing students with a chance to earn college credits while still in high school. “At Sullivan University, we know that the cost of college weighs heavily on the minds of students and their parents,” Dr. Miller said. “With this in mind, we crafted these agreements with the idea of bringing down the cost of college while letting a student finish a degree program faster.” Sullivan University’s National Center for Hospitality Studiesearned a rep-
UP TO
utation over the past three decades as one of the top hospitality schools in the nation. The American Culinary Federation accredits Sullivan’s Culinary Arts program and has designated it as “exemplary.” Sullivan’s culinary articulation agreements covers selected high schools courses and includes students scores on competency-based exams offered through the university. Marlee Barton, the Family and Consumer Sciences teacher at Highlands High School in Fort Thomas, said she knew very little about Sullivan before touring the Lexington and Louisville campuses at the beginning of the school year. “It is amazing what they are doing there,” Barton said. “They have offered awesome opportunities for teachers to learn more about the food and culinary content along with hands-on experiences. At the beginning of the school year, I took a few seniors to Lexington Sullivan University and they did a Chef Shadow with them. They prepared food all morning, learning new things that they may have not learned in my class. It was amazing.” The articulation agreements are designed to provide a pathway for students interested in pursuing a career in culinary arts. Once enrolled at Sullivan, students spend most of their time perfecting their cooking techniques, learning new methods in kitchen labs on Sullivan’s Louisville and Lexington campuses and gaining experience through practicum’s and externships at restaurants. In Highlands Culinary Pathway program, which includes three courses, students learn about food preparation skills, menu planning, food safety and sanitation, food service management, special health concerns and diets as well as the skills necessary to prepare for a career in the culinary arts. Like at Campbell County, many of the students who take the classes want to learn how to cook. “However,” Barton said, “we discuss things like the explosion of foodies and why that is happening, farm to table, and talk about the locally owned restaurants that are in the area and it really interests them.”

Don’t just keep on keeping on! By Mickey Karram, MD, The Christ Hospital Health Network
Age and childbirth take their toll on a woman’s body. But problems with bowel and bladder control (and sex!) from a weakened pelvic floor are often fixable. Women tend to put themselves last. And cope. And not complain. But some personal problems, like sexual discomfort and accidental bladder and bowel leakage, are really troublesome. The painful embarrassment these symptoms cause won’t go away on its own. Luckily, help for these common pelvic floor ailments is at hand.
What is the pelvic floor? The pelvis is the ring of bones attached to your legs at the hips. This ring forms a basin that supports the rest of your body. The pelvic floor is the sling of muscles, ligaments, connective tissues and nerves that covers the bottom of the basin. This sling holds up organs in the pelvis such as the bladder, rectum, uterus (womb) and vagina. Besides keeping them in place, the pelvic floor helps organs work appropriately. In other words, it controls bladder and bowel function, keeps the organs in their proper place and allows women to have enjoyable intercourse.
How do I know if I have a pelvic floor problem? Just as elastic wears out over time, the pelvic floor muscles can become weak and the ligaments and other tissues can be stretched or damaged. Extra strain in this area increases the chance of developing a problem. Past pregnancies with vaginal delivery, obesity, chronic coughing, heavy lifting or straining during bowel movements increase the risk. Aging and decreased estrogen levels, as from menopause or certain cancer treatments, also add to the risk. So can any medical condition that affects the nerves, or surgery or radiation in the pelvic area. Almost 30 percent of women — and some men, too — will, at some time in their lives, develop a pelvic floor disorder. Problems with the pelvic floor can lead to many symptoms. A frequent complaint is bowel or bladder control problems. Muscle weakness and/or nerve damage in this area can cause
urine leakage or incontinence, overactive bladder, bladder pain or frequent bladder infections. It can also cause incontinence of stool, chronic constipation or difficulty evacuating your bowels. In addition, some patients suffer from pelvic organ prolapse. Prolapse means that organs, such as the bladder, rectum, uterus or vagina, are not well supported and sink lower than they should. Eventually they can protrude outside the vaginal opening. If a woman lives to be 80 years old, she has an 11 percent chance of having an operation for prolapse. Other common problems include pelvic pain, painful intercourse and a variety of things that can contribute to female sexual dysfunction.
What treatment options are there? Many treatment options exist. These are tailored for each individual patient after initial testing. Therapy often combines approaches. Simply educating a patient on her condition or making simple changes in behavior sometimes does the trick. Nutritional counseling can also help a patient avoid certain foods that may worsen his or her condition, or eat a high-fiber diet to help soften stool. Sometimes physical therapy and biofeedback are used. These treatments can help patients learn to identify, strengthen and relax their pelvic muscles in order to improve bladder and bowel function, and decrease pelvic pain. Medications are used to treat pelvic floor disorders such as overactive bladder, the thinning of tissues in the genital area and certain pain syndromes. Another available treatment option is a pessary. A pessary is a small plastic or silicone medical device inserted into the vagina or rectum. This device can help support the pelvic organs and keep them from falling out of place (prolapsing). Surgery may be recommended if symptoms persist after other less-invasive options have been tried. Most surgical options are minimally invasive. This kind of surgery is generally less painful, with less scarring and a quicker recovery than standard surgery. Mickey Karram, MD, is Medical Director of The Christ Hospital Pelvic Floor Center and Professor of OB/GYN and Urology at the University of Cincinnati

Fire investigators turn bus into lab Chris Mayhew cmayhew@communitypress.com
COLD SPRING – Campbell County’s fire investigation team’s new mobile lab is a former public bus. Transporting sensitive arson investigating equipment to fire scenes became a challenge three months ago when Campbell County Fire Investigation Team’s used ambulance broke down, team leader and firefighter Trent Hanson said. The assistant Central Campbell Fire District chief leads the investigation team’s 24 members comprised of police officers and firefighters. The team will have a new field office and lab thanks to a surplus Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky (TANK) handicap-accessible bus, Hanson said. The 2008 Ford F-450 diesel bus has logged 270,000 miles. Campbell County Administrator Matt Elberfeld said TANK gives local governments first rights to take surplus buses. County payroll taxes are used to help fund TANK. Campbell County Fiscal Court accepted the surplus bus from TANK at its Feb. 15 meeting. The new fire investigation team bus will be based at Central Campbell Fire District in Cold Spring. Fire investigators will use the bus to transport

sensitive equipment used to detect and help determine causes of fires and fire-related disasters. “We have a bunch of different meters that help us detect arson accelerants,” Hanson said. Fire accelerants include gasoline and flammable chemicals. Since around 1990, Campbell County has had some kind of fire investigation team, he said. In 2009, police teamed up with firefighters, and the fire investigation team was born, Hanson said. “We investigate fires and post-explosions in the county,” Hanson said. Members come from police and fire agencies across Campbell County. Police and fire agencies call the team when they need help establishing the cause of a fire,
Hanson said. The team works separately from state fire marshals, responding to about 30 calls each year, he said. Most cases are about determining how winter house fires got started, Hanson said. Portable heaters and people attempting to wire their own electric circuits are common causes, he said. Team investigations of fires at businesses often end up as evidence in court cases to determine the level of an insurance company’s financial responsibility, Hanson said. “Our guys will typically cover a large territory,” Kentucky Chief Deputy Fire Marshal Mike Burke said. Each fire marshal typically handles cases from several counties, Burke said.

Group strives to help give kids a good night’s sleep Melissa Reinert mstewart@enquirer.com
It was hard for Joshua Elswick to concentrate in school. The 13-year-old was tired. His back ached. He wasn’t resting well at night as he slept on an old broken-down futon. It was “so uncomfortable,” but all he had until the Safety Net Alliance of Northern Kentucky stepped in. Elswick was a recipient of a new bed through the alliance’s “Build A Dream Northern Kentucky” project. “It meant a lot to us to get this bed for Joshua,” his mom Shannon Elswick, of Covington, said. “Once he got the bed, he started sleeping much better at night. He appreciates it so much.” The alliance, founded in 2007, is a group of safety net providers who came together in response to diminishing resources and increasing demand, Talia Frye said. Frye works for Brighton Center, one of the founding partners. There are more than 130 partner agencies. The Safety Net Alliance works to achieve its mission through committees, including food, housing, work supports and furniture. The furniture committee was formed in 2014 after providers identified a need for beds. “Nearly 50 percent of children in our region live below federal poverty level,” Frye said. “The need for beds and furniture for
families has been a longidentified barrier for families on their path to stabilization and self-sufficiency. Safety net furniture providers in Northern Kentucky are often on a six-month waiting list for families seeking beds for their children.” According to Frye, to thrive academically, kids of all ages need to have energy, the ability to focus, concentrate, retain information, and be creative problem-solvers. Success requires kids to control impulses and manage behavior to keep on track. “All of these skills depend heavily on healthy, consistent sleep,” she said. So the furniture committee launched Build A Dream in 2016, modeled after Morehead State’s Build-A-Bed program. “Build A Dream will increase the number of beds distributed to children in our region, increase the health, wellness, and educational gains of the children who receive a bed, and shines a light on the need for beds/furniture in our community,” Frye said. Last year, volunteers built 50 beds in 50 minutes. The beds came with a brand-new mattress, pillow, sheets, comforter, nightlight, hygiene kit and book. The beds were delivered to homes that day. “A child who slept on the floor Friday night slept in their very own bed on Saturday night,” she said. “Over 90 volunteers made this possible last
year. This year our goal is to build 100 beds in 100 minutes. In 2016 we received 92 applications for children needing beds and were able to serve 50 of those requests. We are on pace to exceed 100 applications for the 2017 project.” Recipients must be between ages 4 and 17; reside in Kenton, Campbell or Boone counties and not have their own bed. The alliance is raising funds and looking for volunteers for the build date – Saturday, March 18. Christine Wisher, of Covington, volunteered last year. “I get emotional when I think about what these children are living without,” she said. “A bed is such a basic necessity but to these kids, it’s a luxury.” A total of $11,000 needs to be raised; they have $4,440 so far. “We are seeking monetary or in-kind donations which we will use to complete our goal of 100 beds with a mattress and bedtime kit,” Frye said. “These donations will be used to purchase lumber, hardware, mattresses, etc. You can sponsor an entire bed for a child for $150.” Donations of brandnew twin size sheets, comforters, pillows, and night lights are still needed. Donations can be mailed to: Brighton Center, Att.: Build A Dream, P.O. Box 325, Newport, KY 41072. For more information, contact Tia Frye at tfrye@brightoncenter.com or 859-491-8303, ext. 2203.

This is always a work in progress – I seem to change this slightly every time I make it. Chicken soup was always my mom’s go-to soup when we were sick. Go to taste on the seasonings. 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 ⁄2-inch pieces 1 green bell pepper, diced 1 generous cup onion, diced 2 ribs celery, diced 2 teaspoons garlic, minced or more to taste 1 teaspoon dry basil 1 bay leaf Low sodium chicken broth – 1 quart or more to taste 1 cup rice 1 can, 14.5 ounce, diced tomatoes 1 box, 10 ounce, frozen cut okra or 2 cups fresh okra, sliced Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Saute chicken, pepper, onion, celery, garlic, basil and bay leaf in a bit of olive oil until chicken is opaque. Add broth, rice and tomatoes. Cook at a gentle boil until chicken is done, about 20 minutes. While soup is cooking, saute okra in a bit of olive oil just until crisp/tender. Taste for salt and pepper. Remove bay leaf. Add okra and serve. Or serve okra on the side separately.

Lemon tea contains vitamin C, antibiotic qualities and is an energy booster.
I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been super busy lately and just a bit run down, but I caught that nasty stomach bug that’s going around. Those of you who have had the bug can attest that it’s pretty brutal. The good thing is it only lasts up to a day. So what to eat after you’ve been down for a while? How about a nice bowl of chicken gumbo soup and a steamy cup of lemon honey tea? I made both today - good for body and soul!
Tip 1: 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. Rice is made up of both digestible and resistant starches, and coconut oil increases the resistant starch levels of rice – meaning that fewer calories will be digested. Simply add the coconut oil to the boiling water Rita and then add in the rice.

Soothing lemon and honey tea Stir together juice of 1 lemon and 1 cup or so of hot water with honey to taste. If you want, add a couple teaspoons or so of fresh smashed ginger root or 1 teaspoon ground ginger paste, to settle your tummy. If adding ginger, let the tea steep 5 minutes, and then strain. Why this tea is good for you: Lemons contain vitamin C, which may decrease the strength of a cold, or flu virus. It helps reduce phlegm. Honey is antibiotic and antibacterial, plus it’s predigested by the bees to give you an energy boost. Freeze lemons! Freeze them whole.

Shayna Hubers, right, greets her new lead attorney, David Eldridge, of Knoxville, on Tuesday. Hubers’ second trial for the murder of Ryan Poston will start Jan. 16, 2018.

More than four years have passed since Ryan Poston died from six gunshot wounds in his Highland Heights condominium. The crime grabbed national headlines, including a profile by CBS News “48 Hours.” Poston was a 29-year-old lawyer from a well-known Northern Kentucky family. It will be another 11 months before his girlfriend, Shayna Hubers, is retried for his killing. Campbell County Circuit Court Judge Fred Stine set the start of the new trial as Jan. 16, 2018. A jury already convicted Hubers in 2015 of Poston’s murder. She started serving her 40-year sentence when her attorney discovered one of the jurors had a prior conviction for unpaid child support in 1992, a felony which disqualified him under Kentucky law for jury duty. A judge threw out the conviction and granted her a new trial. Hubers’ new attorney, David Eldridge, of Knoxville, Tenn., requested a six-month continuance for the retrial, originally scheduled Sept. 18. El-
dridge said he has a heavy caseload and needs time to get caught up to speed. “This trial took two weeks,” Eldridge said. “It’s a very serious charge. In my opinion, this appears to be a very complicated murder prosecution.” Stine granted him four additional months. The delay sparked protest from Campbell County Commonwealth’s Attorney Michelle Snodgrass. “What he terms as a slight delay, it will have been almost 51⁄2 years since she shot and killed Ryan Poston,” Snodgrass said. Hubers’ family declined to comment leaving the courthouse. Poston’s father, Jay Poston, released a statement after Tuesday’s hearing: “We as a family and a community have the serenity to accept that which we cannot change – the fact that Shayna Hubers has been granted a retrial for the cold-blooded murder of our beloved Ryan. Our families will not have true serenity, however, until we have been granted justice for Ryan. We are steadfastly resolved to pursue this as long as it takes to accomplish.”

Communities are made by history Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. understood the power of the past. The noted civil rights icon once said, “We are not makers of history. We are made by history.” King’s assessment also holds true for our communities. People and events forge the character of our cities and towns. Just as our experiences and memories make us who we are, history also impacts the places where we live and work. Museums and local historical societies are the keepers of our collective memory. In Kentucky, more than 350 organizations preserve and interpret our diverse and important history. These organiza-

tions tell our stories, spark conversations, and create transformative experiences for visitors. They help us find meaning from our shared past and provide insight into our cur-
rent time. These organizations also play a critical role in economic development. Tourism is Kentucky’s third largest industry, contributing $13.1 billion to the state’s economy and employing more than
179,000 people. Museums and history organizations are an important part of this industry and help teach visitors what it means to be a Kentuckian. These organizations, which contribute so much to our state, often need outside funding to undertake even small projects. The Kentucky Local History Trust Fund – created through donations that Kentuckians make on their state income tax returns –provides needed grants to the commonwealth’s museums, libraries, and local historical societies. This year, the Kentucky Historical Society, which manages the fund, is supporting 17 organizations with grants
CH@TROOM Last week’s question Major League Baseball is considering a rules change that would allow teams to issue an intentional walk without throwing a pitch. Is this a good idea? What other rules changes would you like to see baseball make?
“How about each major league team get a participation trophy and forget about post-season play?”

“How about each batter starts with a ball and a strike too?” Laura Whiting
“What, are they trying to save time? Why play at all?” Bobbi Layne Kayser
“1. re the intentional walk
rule change, anything that speeds up the game without impacting the outcome is appreciated. However, if this change is intended to allow sponsors to show even more commercials than now, I vote a resounding ‘No!’ The current baseball game drags on usually for more than three hours and much of it is due to sponsor interruption. I understand someone has to pay those ridiculous salaries and network profits but there should be a limit to the num-
ber of interruptions. “2. re other changes in the rules, pitchers start the action with every pitch. They should be limited to 20 seconds between pitches. After 20 seconds, the batter is awarded ‘a ball’ in the count. After two 20-second violations, the batter is awarded first base. If the batter steps out of the batters box he’s charged ‘a strike.’ There is no reason for an able-bodied player who is healthy enough to bat to step out, clean his shoes, read the coach’s sign (he can do that looking over his shoulder) or do anything else but bat. “I know these rules won’t even be considered because Major League Baseball just wants to give the impression that they are interested in speeding up the game. The almighty dollar is the only rule that matters and hurrying up these individuals would rock that bank ( er, I mean boat.)” Mike Hauer Villa Hills
Protecting your right to know Our state and its government belong to the citizens of Kentucky and each person has a right to know how his or her tax dollars are being spent. Transparency is required at all levels of government, from the courthouse to the statehouse, at our universities and in our pension system. Each citizen deserves to have faith in his or her government and public officials. Under Kentucky law, the Office of the Attorney General is responsible for safeguarding the Open Meetings Act and Open Records Act – the very laws that ensure government is open and transparent. These laws allow citizens and the media the ability to see matters before state and local governmental bodies and public universities. Every day the public relies on these laws. These laws provide standards on how public entities should announce, hold and record meetings – so that the public and media can attend and participate. To help the public and media stay informed, these laws also provide agencies with guidance on how records, like reports or emails, are requested and made available. Under the open meetings or open records laws, if citizens
or journalists believe their request was denied improperly they have the right to appeal to my office. Andy Beshear In the first year of my COMMUNITY RECORDER GUEST administraCOLUMNIST tion, my office was asked 380 times for a decision through an open records or open meetings appeal – a 20 percent increase from the previous year. Many of our decisions involve high-profile cases that have generated much public debate and underscored the need for transparency and accountability. For example, recently, my office ruled that public universities violated the Open Records Act when they denied access to documents containing allegations of sexual misconduct by university staff. The universities also denied my office the ability to confidentially review the requested documents, claiming the documents were protected under several federal laws, including FERPA, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. Kentucky state law though gives authority to the attorney
general to confidentially review documents. Without that review, there can be no government transparency. In a few examples of decisions, my office concluded that: » Kentucky State Police violated the Open Records Act in denying the request for a copy of the bodycam video of an officer-involved shooting that resulted in the death of the perpetrator. » The Office of the Governor did not violate the Open Records Act in withholding emails pertaining to the governor’s schedule as preliminary. The Office of the Governor did not violate the Open Records Act in withholding emails as preliminary, attorney-client privileged, or both, with the exception of two e-mails. The Governor’s Office initially violated the Open Records Act in not providing a brief explanation of how the exemption applied to the records withheld, butcured that deficiency on appeal. » The City of Covington did not excessively delay the inspection of requested e-mails and, for the most part, met its burden of justifying the withheld e-mails and redactions under the cited exceptions. Andy Beshear is attorney general of Kentucky.
ranging from $300 to $1,500. These grants help organizations with long-term growth and sustainability, including caring for artifacts, improving exhibits, preserving digital collections, and teaching museum standards and best practices. In Northern Kentucky, funds will help the Erlanger Historical Society and the Boone County Public Library. The Erlanger Historical Society will use their grant to ensure the long-term protection of their archives, while the Boone County Public Library will preserve the collection of the Rabbit Hash Historical Society, which past floods and fire have repeated-
ly threatened. These organizations are using the grants for important work. Each year, however, the Local History Trust Fund must be replenished. By donating to the fund on your state income tax return, you can help more local history organizations meet their missions and improve our communities. We are, as Dr. King said, “made by history.” Please help Kentucky communities preserve and interpret our collective past by contributing to the Kentucky Local History Trust Fund. Michael J. Hammons is the chair of the Kentucky Historical Society’s Governing Board.

NKU Notes » Baseball: The Horizon League released its 2017 baseball preseason poll with Northern Kentucky picked to finish fifth, one spot above its 2016 finish. Defending regular-season and tournament champion Wright State was favored to repeat with 47 total points and six first-place votes. UIC, who finished fourth in the League last season, was picked to finish second with 40 points and garnered the remaining first-place vote. Milwaukee trailed close behind with 36 points, followed by Valparaiso with 27 and Northern Kentucky with 22 points. Oakland (16 points) and Youngstown State (eight points) rounded out the poll. The Norse are looking to make their second-straight postseason conference tournament after advancing to their first at the Division I level last season. NKU posted a 20-34 overall record in 2016 including a 9-21 mark in the Horizon League. Northern Kentucky returns seven starting position players from last season and welcomes 12 newcomers, four of which are true freshmen. The 2017 roster is also bolstered by a strong core of veterans, which includes eight seniors and 10 juniors. Will Haueter is the top returning hitter after recording a .329 batting average as a redshirt freshman last season with a League-best 18 doubles. Haueter led the squad in on-base percentage, reaching at a .393 clip, and was also third on the team in RBI with 25 - the most of any returning player. Junior Trey Ganns, a 2016 All-League second team selection, posted a .286 batting average with 17 doubles and 21 RBI at the plate last season. As a twoway player, Ganns is also a top returning pitcher for NKU after twirling 47.0 innings last season and accruing a 4.21 ERA while striking out 45 in eight appearances.

Gauntlet continues for Camels James Weber jweber@communitypress.com
Sometimes you go from the frying pan to the fire. And sometimes you get pulled out of the fire and fed to the sharks. The Campbell County girls basketball team has felt all of these challenges as they are ending the regular season with a full gauntlet of powerful teams. The Camels lost 66-60 to Sacred Heart at home Feb. 15. It was the fifth straight defeat for the Camels (17-12), all to teams who could end up in Campbell County for the KHSAA Sweet 16 in three weeks at BB&T Arena. “We played really well,” Campbell head coach Beau Menefee said. “We did a lot of good things. I thought we played better in a lot of ways in the second half. They have a really tough team. These last few games I feel like we can beat anybody that we play.” Sacred Heart (23-5) came in as one of the favorites in a loaded Seventh Region in the Louisville area. The Valkyries are ranked third in the Associated Press poll and sixth in the Litkenhous computer ratings. In the previous 11 days, Campbell fell to Mercer County from the 12th Region, who is ranked second in the Lit ratings and fourth in the AP; Holmes from the Ninth (12th/not ranked); Simon Kenton from the Eighth (4th/8th) and Murray from the First (9th/7th).

Earlier in the season, the Camels fell to defending state runner-up Franklin County from the 11th, who is 10th in the state, and Second Region favorite Henderson County, who is 16th. Both of them are also first in their regions. Henderson is 10th in the AP and Franklin 11th. Campbell has also fallen to Sixth Region contender Bullitt East and Ninth Region contenders Highlands and Conner. “I think we have a real shot at winning the region,” Menefee said. “We just have to take care of the district first. Hopefully we get out of the district and make some noise in the region.” Against Sacred Heart, the Camels had three possessions down the stretch when they were down two points. Those trips ended with two turnovers and a missed 3-pointer, the last one with a Valkyrie stealing a pass with 20 seconds to go. SHA made its final four free throws to put it away. “It was just a possession here and there and that’s what I talked to them about,” Menefee said. “That’s what you learn from these games.” Campbell shot 38 percent for the game and SHA 45. SHA outrebounded Campbell by eight, 38-30. Taylor Clos led Campbell with 20 points. She had six rebounds. Mackenzie Schwarber had 15 points and seven rebounds. Mallory Holbrook had 11 points and Alexis Keeton 10. The Camels beat Newport to end the season and were set to start the district tournament Tuesday against Bishop Brossart.

Highlands hopes changed culture equals playoff wins Adam Turer Enquirer contributor
The six seniors on Highlands High School’s boys basketball team helped change the culture. Now, they hope to extend their season by stringing together some tournament wins. The Bluebirds open 36th District play against Newport on Wednesday, Feb. 22, after Recorder deadlines. Highlands defeated the Wildcats, 76-71, Jan. 7. But the Bluebirds struggled down the stretch, dropping their fi-

We haven’t shot the ball particularly well in those games and have spent time working on it in practice,” said head coach Kevin Listerman of his team’s late-season struggles. Those three losses dropped the Bluebirds to 13-15 on the season. The 13 wins are the most in Listerman’s four seasons at the helm, and breaks a streak of two straight seasons with single-digit victories. Getting to or above

This year there is an “I’m Saving for” video and photo contest. The winner will receive $1,000. Details are at the website mentioned. Now, let’s talk about saving! Consider the following ideas. Diane » Assess your savMason ings. Just like a health check, it is important EXTENSION NOTES to do regular financial checks. Take a look at your savings to see if your priorities are on the right track. Do you have money set aside for emergencies? Are you saving money from each pay check for future needs? Have you considered your future needs for housing, education, retirement? Do you have a plan for how to reach your goals? » Avoid high cost money. If you have a mortgage have you explored options for lower interest rates? Do you avoid high interest loans? Do you pay off your credit card debts monthly to avoid interest? Consider what you can do to decrease your debt and increase your savings. » Do you have a plan? Those with a savings plan are two times as likely to save for emergencies and retirement than those without one. Little amounts of money set back on a regular basis add up over time. Consider setting aside a small

By asking family and friends to support you on your savings, they’ll understand why you don’t want to eat out or purchase that magazine. They may even encourage you when you make wise money choices. Think about what you can do to spend less and save more to ensure you have a sound financial future.

Free tax services offered in region The IRS estimates that one in five eligible workers does not claim the Earned Income Tax Credit, missing out on thousands of dollars they’ve earned. To claim these benefits, these individuals must file their taxes. The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is a refundable tax credit available to qualifying low and moderate wage workers and their families. The Child Tax Credit (CTC) is available to workers with children under age 17. United Way of Greater Cincinnati and its partners are providing free tax preparation services online and at over 30 locations in Southwest Ohio, Northern Kentucky and Southeast Indiana. Individuals can get free help determining their EITC and CTC eligibility and claiming the credits. Online: Filers with household income under $64,000 can take file state and federal taxes for free online filing at myfreetaxes.com. Sponsored by United Way, MyFreeTaxes uses H&R Block software. It’s fast, confidential,
easy, and safe. Specially trained United Way 211 operators are available by phone, chat or email to answer questions. In person: Families and individuals earning $54,000 or less can take advantage of local Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites supported by United Way of Greater Cincinnati and community volunteers. A list of all regional locations, dates, hours of operation, and what to bring to the tax site can be found at makeworkpay.com. All locations use electronic filing. Small businesses, complex investments and bankruptcy are out of scope for the program. Tax filers should bring income documents from all jobs worked throughout the year as well as health insurance information, last year’s tax information, Social Security cards, and a valid photo ID. For information about what to bring to a tax site and about site locations, times and dates, visit www.makeworkpay.com or
call United Way 211 (dial 211).
New this year Tax refund delay: No matter where they file, many low- and moderateincome working families may not have access to refunds until the week of Feb. 27. For taxpayers claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit, the IRS is now required to hold refunds until Feb. 15. This delay allows IRS extra process time to prevent identity theft. It will also take time for these refunds to be processed through financial institutions. Tips for managing the refund delay: » Before you file your return, make sure you have all the documents and statements you need to verify your income and deductions for which you are eligible. » File your return as soon as you have all the necessary documents. Waiting to file could further delay your refund.
» Prioritize all your essential bills like rent and utilities. Don’t rely on your refund to pay these bills if a delay in your tax refund will make you late. » If you use plan to make a credit card payment with your tax refund, remember that you could incur late charges on your bill if your refund does not show up in time. » If you write a check to pay expenses, wait until you are sure the deposit has cleared in your account. Don't risk bounced check fees based on when you usually get your refund! » You may see advertisements or offers for loans or advances to get your tax refund faster. Be careful to look at all the terms of any type of “refund advance” before agreeing to accept one. No one can get your refund to you faster than the IRS; anything sooner is effectively a loan. For more information, visit www.makeworkpay.com or call United Way 211 (dial 2-1-1).
Blanche Gaynor honored for ‘Spirit of Achievement’ Blanche Gaynor, president of Writing Enhancement Services, is recipient of the fourth annual Spirit of Achievement award presented at the Women’s Initiative Annual Breakfast on Jan. 18. The award sponsored by BB&T honors women involved in the Northern Kentucky Chamber’s Women’s Initiative program who have demonstrated professional leadership and community involvement. “Blanche was one of the first women to step up and volunteer to lead a committee,” said Debbie Simpson, president of Multi-Craft and former
chair of the NKY Chamber. “She was dedicated to the success of the Women’s Initiative from the first and continues to generously give of her time and talent. It’s women like Blanche Gaynor that have helped the Women’s Initiative grow into what it is today.” Gaynor, of Lakeside Park, has been involved with the Women’s Initiative since its launch in 2008. During that time she has been involved in everything from creation of the program and the Steering Committee to serving as chair of the Roundtable Committee. “Blanche shows true
leadership in that she goes beyond what’s asked of her in any volunteer role and seeks out others to bring into collaboration and dialogue. She embodies the spirit of successful leaders,” said Linda Gravett, 2017 Women’s Initiative Annual Breakfast Committee chair. The eighth annual Women’s Initiative Annual Breakfast was Jan. 18 at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center and featured award-winning keynote speaker, Laura Stack, president and CEO of The Productivity Pro. Stack, a bestselling author, focused on her most recent book, “Doing the
Right Things Right: How the Effective Executive Spends Time.” She provided attendees with tips on how to make the most of your precious time. More than 600 leaders attended. The Women’s Initiative of the NKY Chamber is the leading organization for women of all career stages to connect, grow and achieve for business and professional success. The Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce Inc., founded in 1969, is the leading business organization in Northern Kentucky.

Family Video keeps old concept fresh Stores emphasize customer relationships, new titles Melissa Reinert mstewart@enquirer.com
ELSMERE – On Friday and Saturday nights in the year 2017, Family Video is still hopping. “We’re packed,” said district manager Matt Hill. But they’re fully stocked with the latest movies and video games. “That’s one of the things that sets us apart from Redbox, there you’ll find about 800 discs, we have 800 discs in just one section here,” Hill said. “We have 10,000 new releases which is what really drives our business.” The business is Family Video, one of several companies operated by Highland Ventures. Family Video is the largest game rental chain in the U.S. They operate more than 750 Family Video stores in 19 states and Canada. Other ventures include Marco’s Pizza stores, Digital Doc, a digital device repair and sales store, and StayFit-24, state-of-the-art fitness centers that offer workouts in a clean and safe environment. In 1978, Family Video was founded. Family Video has three stores located in Southwest Ohio and one in Northern Kentucky. Long-time patron Rob Jones frequents the Northern Kentucky location in Elsmere at least three times a week. “It’s the people, really,” Jones said. “They’re why I keep

coming. They’re friendly, very friendly. Coming here is a great way to meet people and they have a great selection of movies.” Hill agrees. In a world of online streaming, that human connection is often lost, he said. That’s not the case at Family Video. “We talk to our customers and build a relationship with them,” he said. “It’s a really fun job. You get to talk movies, you learn their favorites and you make suggestions to each other. People come back for that.” Family Video, according to
Hill, is also offers a “family experience.” “The entire family can come here and there’s something for everybody. It’s fun to see the kids and adults get excited about what they’re going to bring home and share together.” Location is also key. “We look for neighborhoods where there is a need and busy corners,” Hill said. The store at 4135 Dixie Highway in Elsmere is at one of those “perfect” spots. “We also work hard to be a part of the community,” Hill

It’s those personal touches that has kept Family Video around for 39 years. “Times certainly have changed and so has our competition,” Hill said. “But we get a sense that we are complimentary to online streaming businesses. “We offer a different selection. It’s nice to have so many options to choose from. We’re also always looking to the future and how we can adapt. We look forward to the future.”

In addition, for two weeks in the month of March, every Family Video takes up a collection for the Lymphoma Foundation. Together they typically raise $1 million every year. During the holidays, Family Video purchases turkeys and hams to give to local families in need. “We get so much support

Public Notice
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, and each major fund of the City of Bellevue, 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.
The following motor vehicles stored at Fenders Wrecker Service, 927 Park Ave. Newport, Ky 41071,will be sold at public auction to recover towing and storage charges on February 25,2017. Inspection opens 9:00 a.m. and Bidding starts at 10:00 a.m.. Titles are not warrented . Subject to prior liens. All sales are final . Seller reserves the right to bid. Terms : cash or credit card only or pre approved check .
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the Council City of Bellevue, Kentucky Report on the Financial Statements
-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. -Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, and each major fund of the City of Bellevue, Kentucky as of June 30, 2016 and the respective changes in financial position thereof for the year then ended in accordance 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 3-6 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. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The budgetary comparison schedules on pages 35-36 and the pension disclosure on pages 37-38 are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The budgetary comparison schedule and the pension disclosure have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and accordingly, we express no opinion on them. -Supplementary Information Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The combining special revenue funds, proprietary funds, and non-major governmental funds financial statements 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 of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the 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 January 27, 2017 on our consideration of the City of Bellevue, 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 Bellevue, Kentucky’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.
