BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS

Portal lets parents keep track of school bus It can be accessed using any device Melissa Stewart mstewart@communitypress.com

EDGEWOOD – Lafron Benton appreciates the extra “peace of mind” she now has with Kenton County Schools’ My Bus Buddie portal in place. Benton has twins who attend Hinsdale Elementary School and they ride the bus to and from school everyday. “I use the portal quite a bit,” she said. “I think it’s wonderful. I love that it’s user friendly and adds an extra layer of support in terms of safety and convenience for parents and the schools.” The school district introduced the portal about a month ago. It can be accessed via any electronic device as long as the device has Internet connectivity. Using a smartphone or tablet, access any current and enter browser kcsd.mybusbuddie.com. This will open the district’s “bus finder” Web page, which allows a parent to enter the student’s bus number to find the status and location of that bus, after typing in the user ID.

Superintendent Kim Banta said if the transportation department needs to inform users of a significant delay for a bus or all buses, this portal can show the anticipated delay time; for example, a one-hour delay due to weather. Banta said Kenton is the only district in the state that offers such a tracking tool. “It’s very safe,” she said. “There is no personal information given out on any student. The only information you receive from the portal is where a bus is currently, not where it has come from or where it is going.” Banta said this helps parents know what to expect with the bus schedule, which allows them to better prepare for boarding and drop off. If it’s raining, for example, a parent can check the portal to see where a bus is and have a better idea when to send their child out to the bus so they aren’t waiting in the rain. “We’re trying to get the word out on this handy tool,” she said. “Lots of parents are already using it. We’re getting about 500 hits a day, but we’re hoping more will check it out and take advantage of the portal.” Tweet @MStewartReports MELISSA STEWART/THE COMMUNITY RECORDER

PARK HILLS - The coarse brown fur of the baby bear blows gently with the wind as he rests quietly under his mother. Looking up at her, he reaches for a kiss. This is just one of several wildlife scenes captured by the camera of Harry Nieman that will be on display throughout March at Reality Tuesday Cafe, 1518 Dixie Highway, Park Hills. Nieman, a native of Fort Mitchell, is having his work displayed and sold to benefit the DCCH Center for Children and Families, located on a 83-acre campus in Fort Mitchell. “It’s great exposure for us and Mr. Nieman,” DCCH Center development director Paul Miller said. “He gets to show off his art while supporting us.

FORT MITCHELL Mike Hang has spent the last 20 years working in the same location. He’s served as bartender and manager for the restaurants Indigo and Red Zone, located at 2053 Dixie Highway, Fort Mitchell. Now, in a new venture, he’s serving the community as owner of Fort Mitchell Public House in that same building. “I can’t image doing this anywhere else,” said Hang, 47, of Lakeside Park. “Fort Mitchell is a successful community because the people here work hard and do the right things. We’re a reflection of that.” Hang said operating his own restaurant has been a dream for 25 years. When he got the opportunity to get ahold of the Dixie Highway location, he couldn’t pass it by. “I’m a climb-the-ladder kind of guy and this

Lions Club plans to revitalize May carnival Melissa Stewart mstewart@communitypress.com

ERLANGER - There seems to be a pattern in the Erlanger Lions Club membership. Club president John Tomlinson, 38, joined the club six years ago because of member John Dunhoft. Dunhoft, 63, joined 31 years ago because of Robert Smith. And Smith, 84, the longest serving member in the club, joined 40 years ago, because of a Lions member who touched his life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was not a nice kid when I was young,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I figured I had a lot to pay back for. I knew someone in the group and they inspired me to join. I enjoy what we do â&#x20AC;&#x201C; helping the neighborhood.â&#x20AC;? Tomlinson said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an honor to serve along Dunhoft, Smith and fellow Lions every day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s indescribable to be around those whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done this for a lifetime,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be in the same room with them and reaching out with them to help other people is amazing.â&#x20AC;? The Erlanger Lions Club has a long and rich history of bettering the community, according to Dunhoft. The Erlanger club was organized in March 1945 with 16 members. The main focus of the Erlanger club, as well as Lions Clubs International, is to give the gift of sight.

The gift of sight

According to Dunhoft, 95 percent of vision issues in children can be corrected if detected and treated early. The Lions offer free screenings at local elementary schools, as well as cover the costs of glasses for students in need through their KidSight program. Recently, the club purchased two Spot Vision Screeners and are using them to provide free vision screening not only in

elementary schools, but also local day cares. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These state-of-the-art cameras are a hand-held portable device designed to help users quickly and accurately detect vision issues regardless of age, color of eyes or other potentially limiting factors on those from 6 months through adulthood and have a 90 percent accuracy rate and the results of the screening will be produced instantly,â&#x20AC;? Dunhoft said.

Community fellowship

Another long-standing offering of the the Lions is fellowship. The club hosts bingo every Friday and This year Saturday. theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bringing back the Lions Carnival May 27-29. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our first Lions Carnival was held in June of 1946 on Graves Avenue, which is now the campus of Lloyd High School,â&#x20AC;? Dunhoft said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been held at different locations throughout the years but since 1962 its location has been at the Erlanger Lions Park at the end of Sunset Avenue and is referred to by many as the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Largest Class Reunion.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Dunhoft said he and fellow members are excited to bring back this longstanding tradition. The carnival will include games, rides, food and daily drawings for cash prizes.

Youth activities and scholarships

The Lions have a heart for young people, Dunhoft said, that is displayed through the Youth Activity Programs including football, baseball and cheerleading. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A large number of young boys and girls participate in many different activities and under the direction of many hardworking and dedicated Lions it has been and is a welcome alternative to the troubles and problems faced by todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youths,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The club also gives out $16,000 in scholarships annually.

Betterment of the community

In addition, the Lions Club also raises money for other charities and for many years has helped to provide Thanksgiving and Christmas meals and gifts to families in need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are so many in our community who are in need,â&#x20AC;? member Joanie Dunhoft said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where to go... they can come to us.â&#x20AC;? John Dunhoft said the

club never turns anyone away. According to member Juanita Ray, the club is able to do so much because there is strength in numbers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of us together, can accomplish a lot,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do near as much by yourself. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a family here. We work together to help others. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the secret to our longevity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; generations of members coming together to help others.â&#x20AC;? Want to continue the Tweet conversation? @MStewartReports

A.J. Lindeman Elementary School Principal Angela Gabbard with several students. Gabbard was recently named the Kentucky School Counselor Association’s Principal of the Year.

Q&A with Principal of the Year Angela Gabbard Melissa Stewart mstewart@communitypress.com

ERLANGER - With support from Principal Angela Gabbard, counseling staff at A.J. Lindeman Elementary is breaking down social, emotional, academic and career barriers in order for students to learn. During her three years as the school’s principal, Gabbard has made increasing the counseling support available to Lindeman students one of her top priorities. As a result, the school has quadrupled its counseling services. When Gabbard took the helm, Lindeman had just one half-time counselor. Today, the school employs two full-time professional school counselors plus two clinical counselors, and benefits from an increased amount of community services and relationships. Gabbard was recently recognized for her commitment by being named the Kentucky School Counselor Association’s Principal of the Year. She was nominated by counselors and staff members. “Mrs. Gabbard is progressive and advanced in her understanding of professional school counseling: she supports and encourages the implementation of a comprehensive, data-driven, evidence-based school counseling program,” the nomination read. “She has been an advocate for the counseling profession and has greatly increased counseling services at Lindeman … in order to ultimately impact student learning. The leadership model used at Lindeman is one that Mrs. Gabbard has collaborated with the school counselors and instructional coach to create and implement. The counselors support the stu-

dents, the instructional coach supports the teachers, and Mrs. Gabbard supports everyone.” Gabbard, 38, of Walton, recently sat down with the Community Recorder to discuss her philosophies on school counseling, as well as share her thoughts on the role of principal. Q: What inspired your career in education? A: From the time I was a little girl, I always wanted to be a teacher. My fifth-grade teacher, Mrs. Andrea Campbell, was such an inspiration and helped to push toward that dream. Q: What do you enjoy most about being principal? A. Working with the kids and the families. We have such great students at Lindeman, I love engaging with them and working with the teachers, counselors and families to help them be successful. Q: Why is counseling an important part of the school experience for children? A: The counseling program at Lindeman really focuses on reducing barriers to learning. We work to provide interventions to help the student be a better student. Without this program we would not have made the success that we have in the last few years. Students’ needs are getting met and our team works together to ensure that we are doing everything we can to help every student learn and grow. Q: How has the program grown at Lindeman the last three years? A: Wow has it changed! Four years ago we had a halftime counselor. Three years ago we hired a full-time counselor, Cassie Sandlin. She worked to create an evidenced-based counseling pro-

gram that included a mix of whole class, small group, and individual sessions focusing on a variety of topics such as test taking skills, conflict resolution, friendship, coping skills, etc… with the main goal being supporting out students to ensure that they are ready to learn. Two years ago we received a counseling grant and hired an additional full-time counselor, Kathy Koerner. The program has continued to grow servicing all of our Lindeman students in some capacity, creating a leadership program for our fifth-graders, a mentoring program, doing student of the month assemblies, all while focusing on reducing barriers and establishing a growth mindset among our students. Q: Where do you see Lindeman’s program five years from now? A: Our program will continue to get better, with the focus on servicing students and meeting their needs we will continue to create an environment where kids feel safe and learn all of the skills they need to not only be successful at school, but also function in society. Q: What is the most challenging aspect of your job as principal? A: Every day is something new. As soon as I think I have this principal thing down something else comes up. That makes it exciting but also challenging, no two days are the same. Q: What’s the most rewarding? A: The kids. I love seeing their progress, hearing their stories, laughing with them and watching them grow academically and socially. Want to continue the conversation? Tweet @MStewartReports

Get Irish in the kitchen on St. Patrick’s Day Champ

Some stories are worth repeating. When I was in first grade at St. Margaret of Cortona School in Madison Place, Sister Justina asked me why I wasn’t wearing a green ribbon in my hair for St. Patrick’s Day. “Because I’m Lebanese,” I replied timidly. Truth be told, Mom didn’t have any ribbons for our hair, let alone green ones. That’s all changed, Rita and even I’m a bit Irish Heikenfeld on St. Patrick’s Day, sans the green ribbons, RITA’S KITCHEN of course! The story goes that St. Patrick went to Ireland, killed all the snakes and converted the people. Eating something green, like Champ, is traditional, along with a stein of green beer. Before you know it, Easter will be here, as well. So I’m sharing two nice recipes, one from my kitchen and one from reader Mary Hall’s recipe box.

Here’s both the something green and the potatoes, long a favorite root vegetable in Ireland. This is good any time of year, especially in the spring when bunches of homegrown green onions hit the farmers markets. 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and chunked up 1/2 cup whipping cream 1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick) plus extra for garnish 1 bunch green onions, sliced – green part only

THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

Moist and buttery Irish soda bread

Rita’s crunchy overnight Easter cinnamon coffeecake can be baked right away

Did you know?

This can be baked right away, also. If refrigerated overnight, allow extra baking time. You can also let it sit out to take the chill off for 20 minutes before baking. Either way, when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, it’s done. Cake:

Check out my web site: Abouteating.com for a tutorial with photos for this most delicious bread. Horseradish has lots of vitamin C and in the olden days, was made into a tea for urinary tract health. Its pungent aroma clears out sinuses. It has been associated with the possible prevention of cancer, helping your body detox from carcinogens.

Matzo update

A reader thought the tablespoon of salt called for in the Matzo recipe was “excessive.” I told her I put that amount in strictly for flavor, but that she could lessen it or eliminate the salt altogether. Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educator, Jungle Jim’s Eastgate culinary professional and author. Find her blog online at Abouteating.com. Email her at rita@community press.com with “Rita’s kitchen” in the subject line.

Cook potatoes in boiling salted water until tender. Meanwhile, bring cream and butter to simmer and mix in green onions. Remove from heat and cover and let steep while potatoes cook. Drain potatoes, put back in pan and shake around to remove any moisture. Then mash. Add cream mixture and blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper and make a well in the center, placing a dab of butter there to melt and make a puddle.

Rita’s crunchy overnight Easter cinnamon coffeecake

She became a refugee to the United States. In her new life here she found ways to help heal the Cambodian community in the U.S. In an effort to keep her culture alive, she created a program for teaching Cambodian dance to the children of this community. “Coretta Scott King” by Kathleen Krull: This book is part of the Women Who Broke the Rules Series which cele-

The cost of tobacco to Ky. employers Having a competitive, healthy workforce and community is essential to a strong economic environment in Northern Kentucky and the Commonwealth as a whole. However, Kentucky often finds itself indebted to our past way of life. For centuries the tobacco industry has been a vital part of Kentucky’s economic development and shaped the culture and way of life in Kentucky. But like other industries it has faced many challenges, most notably the negative health risks associated with the long-term use of the product. The use of tobacco by Kentuckians continues to remain at the highest levels in the country even though Kentucky farms have diversified their crops. Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services

Kentucky employers should note a 2013 study by Ohio State University, which found the cost for businesses to employ a smoker to be nearly $6,000 more per year than a non-smoker due to increased health care costs and loss of productivity. As the cost of health care continues to rise, so will the expense to employers. Many area employers have already taken steps to encourage employees to reduce and eliminate tobacco use. Some have established smoke-free workplaces or have offered cessation programs and rewarded employees for healthy choices. Most insurance plans provide free nicotine replacement products and other resources to help tobacco users quit. But with all our efforts, Kentucky continues to be at the bottom in national health rankings. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, adults covered by Medicaid smoke at more than twice the number of adults covered by private insurance. With the costs of Medicaid to the state and taxpayers, this trend is not sustainable. Health is the foundation for Northern Kentucky’s future growth and vitality and behaviors such as active life-

styles, proper nutrition and smoking cessation are key to our region’s success. This is why Skyward, the engine and the engineer behind Northern Kentucky’s plan for economic growth, is working to implement SmokeFree NKY, a program dedicated to reducing the number of smokers in Northern Kentucky as well as eliminating secondhand smoke exposure in public places. Thirty-six U.S. states and territories have varying statewide smoke-free laws, three of which include the states surrounding Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, smoke-free laws “make good business sense” (referencing a 2013 study released in Preventing Chronic Disease) and have proven to be effective in improving health and preventing diseases caused by smoke and secondhand smoke. We need a more widespread and consistent community effort to help control the rising costs of health care in our state. The myNKY plan outlines a path for Northern Kentucky’s future economic success to include a healthy and productive workforce and a vibrant community to attract new businesses to locate to our region. Whether you are a business owner or an employee, I encourage you to visit www.skywardnky.org to learn more about the SmokeFree NKY program.

CH@TROOM Last week’s question: Will Cincinnati’s new professional soccer club, FC Cincinnati, which opens its season later this month, be successful? Do you plan to attend any games? Why or why not?

“I’m very excited and plan on going to at least a couple of games with my family.”

Alice Tranter Albrinck

“My son is very excited about this. We will certainly go.”

Becky Vaughn Stolz

“I think FC Cincinnati will be successful. Soccer has such a strong following with so many top-notch school and club teams in the area, that the ability to watch professional soccer close by will be a big draw. “Also, since it is not to the big money level of the NFL or the MLB, it should be a more affordable sports attendance option. This will resonate with family’s wanting a competitive sporting event where they don’t have to take out a second mortgage for a visit to the concessions stand. “I do plan on attending. I like to support new ventures in our city and I’m am fairly soccer ignorant so it will help me learn the game and be a part of the excitement.”

C.S.

“Cincinnati has a new professional soccer club? Who knew? Perhaps a bit of advertising would help make the team successful.”

M.J.F.

“Cincinnati had professional soccer many years ago. It did not do well. But soccer has risen in popularity since then due to both the USA women’s and men’s international success. Plus

soccer is played in all high schools. Two of the friendly games are versus XU and UD which will draw nice crowds. The games will be at the new improved Nippert Stadium at UC. All signs point to success. The Reds are not predicted to do well so this soccer may be the best professional game in town this spring. Go Figure!”

T.D.T.

“Please, tell me that you’re kidding about a professional soccer team. “Are these the type of things that this city knows how to do best is spend money on white elephants? A professional soccer team in Cincinnati will go over about as good as the professional basketball team, the Cincinnati Royals, which was tried twice and failed. The only adults in Cincinnati interested in soccer teams are the parents of kids in high school or college that are on soccer teams just so they can go and cheer on their kids. Wouldn’t it have made more sense to put something like this on a ballot and have the people of this city vote on it to see how much interest their would be first? I think things like giving tax incentives to manufacturing businesses and bringing more jobs to Cincinnati would be time and money better spent.”

Holmes reaches state quarterfinals James Weber jweber@communitypress.com

COVINGTON - Holmes defeated 16th Region champion Russell in the first round of the 2016 St. Elizabeth Healthcare/ KHSAA Girls’ Sweet 16® March 9, 49-35, to complete a local sweep of the evening’s games. Holmes won its fourth game in a row in BB&T Arena in the past week, including the Ninth Region championship. “It feels really good because we’re doing something that hasn’t been done in 14 years,” said senior guard Jynea Harris. “We’re all excited and blessed and we’re glad that our community is right behind us. We’re happy we made it this far because this is what we’ve worked for every day. Our goal is to win the state championship.” Holmes led 21-10 at the half with balanced scoring. Six players had between two and six points, led by Harris with six points. Holmes shot just 6-of-21 in the half but 4-of-9 from 3point range, with the makes from four different players. “I didn’t think we played very well in the first half,” said Holmes head coach Tony Perkins. “I thought we played a little bit tight. We missed some shots we normally make. We had a chance to have a (bigger) lead but it’s a win and we’re glad to move on.” Harris scored six of her 18 points after the Red Devils cut the lead to nine points in the fourth quarter. “We had to come out and play,” Harris said. “Coach Perkins told me to make a play and that’s what I did. We were starting to slack a little bit and we had to pick it up together.” Russell shot just 11-of-33 (33 percent) for the game. Holmes shot 12-of-21 in the second half, 2-of-2 from behind the arc and 10-of-19 in the second half after its tough first half offensively. “They’re long and they’re quick,” said Mandy Layne, Russell’s head coach and a former NKU player. “They crash the boards. It took us a while to adjust to Holmes’ length and speed. Once we got comfortable we did a good job… You don’t go 17-0 in the Ninth Region and not be very good. I played up here. It’s a very competitive region. You go 17-0 and that tells you you’re pretty good.” Holmes senior center Maurissa Brown scored 10 points on 5-of-7 shooting, including the first two baskets of the game for either team. She also had two blocks and contributed to Russell’s Ty Mitchell only playing 21 minutes before fouling out. Layne called Mitchell, Russell’s third-leading scorer (8.7 ppg.) who had three points and one rebounds against Holmes, one of the top defenders in the 16th Region. “Maurissa not only puts the

ing second on the squad in hits (91), runs scored (53), and doubles (16). He hit .284 and posted a .394 on-base percentage, adding a spark to the top of Florence’s lineup. “Last year, Daniel came in as a rookie and won the starting job after a very competitive camp,” Freedom Manager Dennis Pelfrey said. “He eventually grew into the leadoff spot and was a spark plug for us at the top of the lineup last year.” Cuthrell played a big role in the Freedom’s success before missing the latter portions of the season with an injury. Despite only playing 58 games, he ranked inside the top five among Florence players in hits (57), doubles (12), home runs (nine), runs scored (34), RBIs (42), and slugging percentage (.476). “We are looking for Collins to hit in the middle of the order this season, adding some protection for Austin Newell,” Pelfrey said. “Last season, he started really hot at the plate and was a big reason we made the playoffs, so it was tough to see him have to sit out after taking a pitch to the forearm.

Kenton County boasts strong baseball talent James Weber jweber@communitypress.com

KENTON COUNTY - Here is a look at high school baseball in Kenton County. The Beechwood Tigers have unfinished business after going 29-10 last year and losing 29-10. Beechwood won the 35th District. The Tigers will return some of the top players in the area and state in Brayden Combs, Kyle Rowe, Ethan Stringer, Brett Slusher, Kyle Fieger and Ryan Bankamper. Combs, an imposing power hitter and pitcher, is a UK recruit and Stringer, a versatile athlete, is headed to Louisville. Slusher will play football at Morehead. “Offensively, team should have a balanced attack comprised of speed and power,” said Bob Mullins, who returns for his fifth season as head coach. “Team has returning starters that have logged extensive innings on the mound at the varsity level.” Beechwood will play at McNicholas to start the season March 26 and play at Cooper that same day. Beechwood’s home opener is March against Lloyd. The Calvary Christian Cougars were 8-16 last year for new head coach Matt Morrison. Calvary hosts Augusta to start the season March 21. Calvary has four seniors this year. Covington Catholic will be looking to avenge its loss to Beechwood in last year’s 35th District Championship and make another run at the regional title. CCH was 25-8 last year. The Colonels return a handful of contributors from last year’s team, including senior sluggers Will Heppler and Ryan McGinness. CovCath hosts Newport Central Catholic March 24 for its first home game. The Covington Latin Trojans have a lot of returning starters as they look to rebound after not winning a game last season. Returning veterans are seniors Michael Elmlinger, Will Geers and John Bagadion; juniors River Carpenter, Micah Gray, Dylan Damico, Eli Tarvin and John Tarvin; sophomore Jacob Langguth; and freshmen Jonah Breeze and Thomas Bowman. Elmlinger is the captain playing his fifth year of varsity baseball. “We lost no seniors last year after losing eight starters the previous two years and after a difficult season of developing new talent last year we look forward to a maturing squad this year,” said head coach Joe Gray. “We have a modicum of pitching depth for the first time in four years.” The Dixie Heights Colonels were 15-11 last year for head coach Chris Maxwell, who returns for his 34th season. Players to watch start with Griffin Smallwood, Keegan Barmore, Zack Slusher, Brad Suedkamp, Daniel Varney. Smallwood returns at first base and also pitches. Barmore plays infield. Slusher moves to catcher this year. Varney and Suedkamp will be among the leaders of the pitching staff. “Although we have lost a lot of players over the last two years they are working hard to keep our winning tradition,” Maxwell said. Dixie will host Ryle to start the season March 30. Pat Ryan returns for his fourth season as Holy Cross head coach in his second tour in the job. After a disastrous 2014, his Indians made progress last season with a 13-17 record and will look to snap a streak of four straight losing

Holy Cross returns seven starters in senior first baseman Gordon Lovensheimer, senior centerfielder Nic Gephart, senior second baseman Justin Kentrup, senior infielder Mike Wilson, junior outfielder Will Volpenhein, sophomore catcher Jake Webster and junior infielder Joey Yancey. Others to watch start with junior infielder Dominick Finnell, senior infielder Alex Enzweiler and sophomore infielder Brian Carl. “I like the fact that we will have some experienced players coming back, yet we’re still relatively young,” Ryan said. “We have plenty of pitching but we must develop a couple of top of the line starters to compete in our district and in the Class A tournament.” Holy Cross and Holmes will open the season March 18 at Meinken Field. Holmes finished 5-23 last year, and will be looking to build some momentum under new head coach Brian Moore. The Bulldogs have seven seniors. Lloyd was 10-22 last year for returning head coach Aaron Moore. Lloyd plays at Holy Cross March 21 and at Cooper March 22 before hosting Brossart March 23. Lloyd has 10 seniors. Kevin Gray returns for his third year as the Ludlow Panthers’ head coach. Ludlow was 10-15 last year. He returns seven starters in Evan Slone, TC Eads, Michael Camarena, Nate Wyrick, Matthew Gibson, Trace Stonum and Dylan Vogt. Slone a senior pitcher/shortstop, is a four-year starter and a team leader. He will play baseball at NCAA Division II Alerson-Broadus. Eads, who can play almost any position, is a hard worker and strong athlete who can help the Panthers in a variety of ways. Camarena, a pitcher and outfielder, is a strong leader and competitor. Wyrick, a pitcher and outfielder, looks to step up this season. Gibson is the starting first baseman and a key bat in the middle of the lineup. “I love our experience we have returning,” Gray said. “I love our effort and enthusiasm at practice and the way the kids come prepared to listen and learn. They look forward to our challenging schedule and look forward to winning some big games this season. Goal is to play in the regional tournament on Memorial Day.” Ludlow plays a double header March 19 at Eastern Kentucky University to start the season and has its first home game against Covington Latin March 21. The Scott Eagles have

reached the pinnacle of competition the past two years. They made the state semifinals last year in their second consecutive trip to the KHSAA state tourney. Scott won the 37th District and 10th Region titles for the second year in a row and finished 23-12 overall. Fifth-year head coach Jeff Trame lost 10 seniors from last year but has a strong nucleus to try to make another run to Lexington. shortstop/pitcher Junior Jake Ohmer leads the way. He was third team all-state, hitting .364 with a team-high 28 RBI. On the mound, he was 7-1with a 1.91 ERA including a two-hit shutout against powerful South Warren in the state quarterfinals. Senior infielder/pitcher Andrew Trame was third team allstate. He led the team in batting at .400 and compiled a 2.84 ERA on the mound including a four-hitter in the first round of the state tourney against Knott County Central. Senior corner infielder/ pitcher C.J. Seay hit .292 with 16 RBI and had two key relief performances in the postseason. Junior Jake Pusateri is a returning pitcher and started every game in centerfield last season. Junior outfielder Logan Pernell was a key reserve last year and pitched in the state tournament. Senior Danny Fitzgerald helped the team with speed and defense last year and is expected to play a bigger role in the offense. Scott opens the season by hosting Holy Cross March 19. Troy Roberts starts his fifth season as Simon Kenton’s head coach with an 88-67 record. He has directed the Pioneers to a winning season each of his four years, including a 32nd District championship last year and an Eighth Region semifinal berth. SK won the Eighth Region in 2014. SK’s top players going in are Trent Kincaid, Logan Scott, Kyle Casson, Colten Downs and Jacob Harney. All but Scott are returning starters. Kincaid, Harney, Scott and Mitchell Kreidenweis are veteran football players who hope to bring that success to the diamond Villa Madonna’s Sam Molnar takes over as head coach for the Blue Lightning, who didn’t play a varsity schedule last year. Top players to watch begin with seniors Alex Kenkel and Nick Kermes; juniors William Martin and Thomas Schutzman; and sophomore Dan Gerst. “We are a young team that is eager to prove people that we belong,” Molnar said. “We have a lot of versatility, guys that will play catcher one inning and maybe center field the next.”

Holmes finishes 29-5. “I thought we played hard,” Perkins said. “We played OK in the second half to get back in the game, we just didn’t make enough shots. It’s hard when you’ve got seniors, people you’ve been with more than your family. These girls do what they’re supposed to in the classroom and in the community. I wouldn’t trade teams with anybody up here because they’re the best.” Mercer came in as one of the state’s most explosive offensive teams, averaging 72 points per game. Nearly 40 percent of their scoring came from the 3-point line, where the team arrived with 319 made treys on the year – more than nine per game - to surpass the existing state record 313 by Clinton County’s 2005 team.

Holmes guard Kamari Graham shoots a trey.

A three by sophomore Seygan Robins, Mercer’s leading scorer for the year at 16.3 ppg, made it 29-16 early in the second quarter. Mercer shot 6-of-14 from behind the arc in the first half. But Holmes kept the Titans scoreless behind the arc in the second half. Mercer shot 5-of-16 overall in the third quarter. “We just did what we were supposed to do. We didn’t help off people,” Perkins said. “That’s what we came into the game talking about. We did that in the first half and gave up 3pointers and we didn’t do that in the second half.” Harris paced the Bulldogs with seven of her game-high 19 points in the third quarter. Holmes pulled within nine at 5041, two minutes into the fourth quarter on a trey by freshman Kamari Graham. Graham’s third trey of the quarter made it 57-52 with 1:08 to play. Faith Lake missed the front end of a one-and-one but Stovall missed a shot in close. Mercer rebounded. Holmes shot just 29 percent for the game (16-55) but 18-of-22 from the line. Holmes forced 17 turnovers. Harris finished with 19 points and was Holmes’ all-tourney pick. Stovall and Graham finished with 13 points each. Tyrah Englemon led everyone with 16 rebounds. . “We were able to accomplish a lot,” Harris said. “As team, we had a high GPA, 3.51, which needs to be recognized. We won the district tournament, we won the region, we made it far in state. This isn’t where we wanted it to end, but as a senior, I’m hurt, but I love my girls and I love my coaches. This is one of the best seasons I’ve ever had. I’m glad I got to play on the court with these talented young women.” Follow James Weber on Twitter, @JWeberSports

Red Cross hosts teen leadership camp Maya Howard is a junior at the School for Creative and Performing Arts in Cincinnati, but she is not your typical video game-playing, TVwatching, 17-year-old high schooler. Sure she likes to hang out with her friends and surfs social media like a pro. But she is also a member of the Delta Sigma Theta Debutante Cotillion Program, a part-time worker at Sky Zone Trampoline Park and a classically trained pianist. And if that wasn’t enough, she is also a third-year counselor at the Red Cross’ annual Leadership Development Camp. The Red Cross recognizes that tomorrow’s leaders are today’s teenagers, so it created LDC, a camp for young people that is organized and run by young people. The teens spend three days and four nights on the Xavier University campus, participating in workshops and sessions on various “teen-related” topics, all in an effort to empower them and teach them the subtle and not-sosubtle traits of becoming a leader. For those who attend, says Howard, a Bond Hill resident, it makes a huge impact. “It changes your life,” she says. “If it weren’t for LDC, I wouldn’t be the hardworking person I am today.” The camp runs July 14-17 and this year Howard is teaching a session on public speaking as well as being part of the keynote session on leadership. Her work in previous camps and helping organize this year’s camp earned her the 2015 President’s Volunteer Service

PROVIDED

Campers, from left, are Anila Carter, Upton Middle School; Kalia Crowell, Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy; Luke Haberer, Milford High School; Paul Couch, Covington Catholic; and Andrew Zanin, St. Henry District High School.

Award, a commendation signed by President Obama that recognizes her for the amount of volunteer hours she’s contributed to the community. Howard’s hours not only include the days of the camp, but also a significant amount of time planning in an effort to make it a great experience for the 150 teenagers from around the region who attend

the event. “The people you meet are the greatest people you will ever meet,” she says. “They become your family, and no matter what is going on in your life, you know you have 60 shoulders to lean on.” Besides sleeping in dorms, playing on the green space, eating in the cafeteria and enjoying the freedoms of being away from home, camp-

ers attend classes and presentations designed and presented by teens and young adult counselors who are either in high school or college and are graduates of LDC. Sessions attack topics such as public speaking, volunteerism, diversity awareness and ethics. Leadership games, structured experiences and guest speakers are also on the camp agenda – all selected

with a goal of helping youth recognize their leadership potential and encouraging them to act upon it. All of the activities are organized and run by a team of teen counselors who have already experienced LDC as campers and want to give back to the next camper group– with the support from college counselors and adult advisers. Campers, who come from a diverse array of schools in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, also find that through shared experiences they make new friends from many different walks of life, often forming bonds of friendship that extend beyond the four days of camp. LDC participants also spend a minimum of 6-12 hours volunteering for the Red Cross in the year following their LDC experience. “LDC has played a big role in developing my personality and shaped my life to be about helping others and giving back to the community,” says Kayla Walker, a junior at Walnut Hills High School. “LDC has allowed me to come out of my shell and grow as a leader,” adds Julia Gerwe, a senior at Notre Dame Academy. “I have come to experience much more diversity and have grown to appreciate other perspectives and ideas.” Youth interested in attending this year’s camp should apply no later than May 15 at www.redcross.org/cincinnati. For more information about the Leadership Development Camp, contact LDC Director Diana Wood at 513-579-3095 or LDC.CincinnatiARC.OH @redcross.org.

I Have Wings helps women soar Melissa Stewart mstewart@communitypress.com

ERLANGER – There is no such thing as coincidence, according to Janet Chambers. That’s what the Erlanger resident said she has learned throughout her life, and especially after her breast cancer diagnosis. She received her diagnosis in 2002, coincidentally, or not, around the time her best friend’s sister was also diagnosed. “I kept thinking that I needed to get in touch with my friend’s sister, and suddenly one day we ran into each other at Panera in Crestview Hills,” said Chambers. “We had coffee and lunch together the next day and together came up with this little logo to put on a pin that we could sell and give to women who have breast cancer to encourage them. It had two angels one with hair, one bald and they were holding each other up with one wing.” That was the birth of I Have Wings Breast Cancer Foundation. That year with the sale of the pins, they raised enough money to put in a phone system at St. Elizabeth’s Breast Center so that women can more quickly get their biopsy results. Eventually the foundation began to grow. It is now operated by a 17-member board of directors and helps women and their families all over the nation. “Our mission is to enrich the lives of families financially and emotionally during a breast cancer diagnosis,” said Chambers, who is the founder and executive director. “Wings stands for with inspiration, no one goes solo. The core of our mission is to allevi-

ate some of the emotional and financial burdens so families can concentrate on healing and recovery.” In 2005, I Have Wings started the No One Goes Solo program, which begins with a diagnosed patient receiving an inspirational card, followed by a phone call for emotional support and a care package full of comforting surprises, Chambers said. “We are privileged to serve about 400 families a year,” she said. “Women all over the nation have the opportunity to receive care packages, emergency food and or gas assistance to help cover the expense of multiple doctor visits and treatments.” The program also provides assistance with the payment of energy bills, wigs, prosthetics and lymphedema compression sleeves, holiday dinners, blankets and a toy under the tree for children.

cally focuses on grandmothers diagnosed with breast cancer who are raising their grandchildren. “I Have Wings also supports education on the facts and prevention of breast cancer,” Chambers said. “To accomplish this, we provide an educational kit to schools upon request. The educational kits have been a great tool for teachers and have been well received. To further our educational outreach, a facet of our mission includes awarding up to $5,000 in scholarships each year.” Chambers said it means the world to her to have I Have Wings. “If we can aid these families and lift them up and let them know someone cares for them then all the work has been worth it,” she said. Seven-year breast cancer survivor Pat Siry of Crestview Hills said that I Have Wings is an amazing organization. Siry is the 2015 Wings award recipient. The award is given out every year at I Have Wings’ biggest fundraiser held every spring. “It has given me an opportunity to share my experience with breast cancer and my faith,” Siry said. “I find that talking about it and sharing my experience has been good therapy. It’s been very healing for me.” She said that Chambers is the heart and soul of the program. “Janet is my hero,” she said. “She took something very bad that happened to her and used it to do something good – I Have Wings – that has done so much for so many women. ... She’s always laughing and smiling.” Want to continue the conversation? Tweet @MStewartReports

DON’T WORRY, BE HAPPY “Don’t worry, be happy!” I’m a fan of the song and the phrase, but sometimes I wish it were as easy as it sounds. In my effort to really put the theory into practice, I looked up the lyrics to this reggae pop favorite; and the first verse is incredibly telling. “In every life we have some Julie House trouble, but when we worry FAITH NOTES we make it double. So don’t worry, be happy.” The key to overcoming our worries is to understand the power they have in your life. The topic of worry has been a struggle for humans for thousands of years. So much so, that Jesus saw it important enough to teach about in his Sermon on the Mount. We can learn vital lessons about our worries (and save thousands of dollars on prescriptions and doctor visits) by revisiting what Jesus says about worry: The following verses from the Sermon on the Mount deal directly with the topic of worry and why Jesus urges us Not to worry: » Worry cannot add one single minute to your day. (Mt. 6:27). Ironically, one of our biggest worries is the lack of time in the day to accomplish everything on our “to-do” list. If we can’t “worry more time into the day,” there must be a better solution. » Worry indicates a lack of faith (Mt. 6:28-30). Claim-

ing to be a person with a strong faith, falling into the “Oh ye of little faith,” category is a hard pill to swallow. It’s vital for us to remember that faith is the ability to maintain our inner strength (worrying less) by trusting completely in the promises of God amidst the problems of life. » Worry may indicate that I am on the wrong path (Mt. 6:31-33). God sometimes uses the worries in our lives to get our attention. When we work to take care of the things that are important to God, He promises to take care of the things that are important to us. Our worries may be an indication that God is too far down on our list of priorities. » Worry indicates a distorted view of tomorrow. In Matthew 6:34, Jesus gives us a direct command to deal with today’s issues, and not worry about tomorrow’s. Moving from worry to happiness truly is as simple as this embracing, meditating and carrying one lifechanging verse with us wherever we go. Jesus provides the key to overcoming our worries in Matthew 6:33, “But, seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” This week, seek God’s Kingdom first, before anything else this week and “Don’t worry, be happy!” Julie House of Independence is founder of Equipped Ministries, a Christianbased health and wellness program.
