$1.00 BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS

Local Trump pick ‘more than a judge’ Scott Wartman swartman@nky.com

To many in Northern Kentucky, he’s a friend, coach and volunteer.

To the legal and political community, he’s tough-but-fair judge many envision on the Supreme Court someday.

In fact, Edgewood resident Amul Thapar made President Donald Trump’s short list last

year of potential Supreme Court nominees.

Instead, Trump announced this week Thapar is Thapar his pick to fill a vacancy on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, which covers Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee.

His friends in Northern Kentucky are ecstatic to see him nominated for a seat one step below Supreme Court. He’s still an active member of the local community. He coached last year the 25 students in Covington Catholic High School’s mock trial club. He’s also coached many of the sports teams his three children have played on.

“Amul is much more than a judge,” said longtime friend

and lawyer Ben Dusing. “He is very involved in the community. Everyone that crosses his path immediately loves the guy.”

Thapar, now in his late 40s, has risen quickly through the legal ranks. He first became known in local politics 20 years ago as part of a group of young Republican activists that included former Kentucky Secretary of State and current North-

ern Kentucky Chamber President Trey Grayson.

As a young lawyer, Thapar would sit in on appeals court hearings in his free time, absorbing what he could of the legal process, Grayson said.

“He took off work to watch appeals court arguments,” Grayson said. “He’s a real student of the law.”

An Independence woman who was found guilty of murder for stabbing her mother more than 70 times was sentenced to 27 years in prison on Thursday.

According to prosecutors, Laura Conley broke knives during the attack, only to get additional knives and conConley tinue stabbing her mother, 69year-old Carlene Conley, in the kitchen of the home they shared.

The Kenton County Commonwealth’s Attorney Office said prosecutors cited Lara Conley’s multiple inconsistent and uncorroborated versions of the events during the case. It took three hours for a jury to return a guilty verdict.

According to prosecutors, on March 14, 2015, Lara Conley reported a home invasion at the home she shared with her mother and told the 911 operator that someone had hurt her mother.

Officers found Carlene Conley dead of multiple stab wounds in the kitchen and Lara Conley covered in blood.

Initially, Conley said trickor-treaters came to the door earlier in the day and gave multiple descriptions of those individuals.

“She also informed detectives that drug dealers were out for her because of unpaid debts.

She initially stated she came home and found her mother dead. Later in the interview, she stated she came upstairs from sleeping and found her mother on the kitchen floor,” prosecutors said in a statement.

During the investigation, police found no signs of forced entry, no fingerprints on doors or windows and no evidence of a home invasion, prosecutors See STAB, Page 2A

Opportunity is knocking for adults with disabilities at production facility Melissa Reinert mstewart@enquirer.com

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

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

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

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

Brown works at BAWAC (Boone Adult Worker Activity Center), a production facility located at 7970 Kentucky Drive, Florence, that provides employment, training, vocational and life skills to people who have disabilities.

Brown works on the floor where she performs assembly and packaging jobs. She’s been employed for five years.

BAWAC also offers supported employment, helping individuals find work in the community; and an adult day care program, the Helen R. Ziegler

Life Transitions Center.

BAWAC also offers transportation for clients and serves the entire Northern Kentucky region.

According to president Ken Schmidt, BAWAC is more than about finding employment, it’s about finding one’s place.

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

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

Schmidt was there from the beginning.

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

In 1975, responsibility shifted from the Regional Board to its own volunteer board of directors.

Throughout the years, BAWAC has expanded and developed new programs to meet the needs of people who have disabilities or barriers to employment.

Currently, BAWAC is running a capital campaign to pay for the new 10,000-square-foot addition and a partial renovation of the existing building that was completed in 2015. They have reached

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

BAWAC operates as a nonprofit, supported in part by United Way. The services offered are freeof-charge to clients. BAWAC builds its operational budget on fees charged to agencies for services, revenue income and donations and other contributions.

To help, donations can be sent to BAWAC at 7970 Kentucky Drive, Florence KY 41042 or call them at 859-371-4410. BAWAC also accepts auction donations for the annual Bean Bash event held every October at Turfway Park, as well as donations toward goodie bags for the golf outing, held every June.

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

“We appreciate any involvement we can get,” Wigger said. “We appreciate any donated items, any volunteers to give their time and talents, and financial opportunity to be shown to BAWAC. All of this helps us achieve our

mission which is: help individuals with disabilities to be as self-sufficient as possible within the community.”

Schmidt said the work being done at BAWAC is of the utmost importance.

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

It’s a need that continues to grow.

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

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

ment in the courtroom. A profile in December by the Louisville Courier-Journal quoted a Democratic lawyer, who said he couldn’t tell what Thapar’s politics were in the courtroom.

Thapar’s parents immigrated from India. That’s instilled strong patriotism in Thapar and appreciation for what he has, his friends said. Grayson recalled in 2008 Thapar speaking to 50 new U.S. citizens at a naturalization ceremony in the Radisson hotel in Covington. He acknowledged his parents went through a similar ceremony 50 years earlier and now have a son on the federal court.

“He remarked about what a great country it is to let that happen,” Grayson said.

The Senate will still have to confirm Thapar.

But he has a strong ally there in Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who released a statement saying he looked forward to Thapar’s confirmation.

“Throughout his al-

After the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Thapar left a successful private law practice to become a federal prosecutor. He just wanted to do what he could to help the government, Grayson said.

His charisma and smarts as an assistant U.S. attorney led to President George W. Bush appointing him as a federal judge for U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, where he remains.

He’s developed a reputation for being tough on criminals. He sentenced an 84-year-old nun to three years in federal prison for breaking into a nuclear plant in Tennessee and defacing a uranium-processing building with human blood in protest.

said.

Conley was arrested the day after the reported home invasion, on her 37th birthday, hours after police responded to her 911 call.

The trial began exactly two years after the death of Carlene Conley’s murder and lasted five days. Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorneys Lawrence Hilton and Maria Schletker presented the prosecution’s case, calling police officers from multiple agencies and Carlene Conley’s family.

Lara Conley testified in her own defense, claiming her mother hit her in the head with an object and she was unable to recall anything that happened after that.

“The defense attorneys argued Lara Conley was acting in self-defense and under an extreme emotional disturbance.

Under cross-examination, however, Lara Conley said she was not sure if she feared for her life at the time she murdered her mother because she could not remember,” the commonwealth’s attorney office said.

At the time of Conley’s arrest, The Enquirer found that Conley was convicted of misdemeanor assault in 2014 for stabbing her live-in boyfriend with a kitchen knife.

Court records indicate she woke up her boyfriend from a nap and accused him of infidelity. There was a physical altercation, and she threatened him with a kitchen knife, according to court records. Conley then stabbed him in the tricep, causing a minor wound. At the time, Conley was sentenced to attend anger management counseling. In 2008, Conley was also convicted of misdemeanor shoplifting and received diversion. Court records indicate her mother posted bond on her behalf.

Drug pouch initiative aims to stop abuse before it starts Melissa Reinert mreinert@enquirer.com

Josh Cobb’s addiction didn’t start with heroin.

“When I was about 16, I started rooting through my parent’s prescription drugs,” the 28-year-old recovering addict said.

“That progressed through the years and led to heroin.”

Which last September led to a relapse after nearly two years of sobriety.

An overdose left Cobb nearly dead. His recovery would be a long one including surgeries and physical therapy, but he would live.

“I’m so glad to be here alive,” he said. “I want to share my story and help others, that’s part of my recovery.”

For Cobb that recovery involves looking for ways to prevent others from dipping into their parents’ medicine cabinet for that initial high. Research from the National Institute on Drug Abuse found that nearly half of young people who inject heroin surveyed in three studies reported abusing prescription opioids before starting to use heroin.

Cobb shared his story at the March 23 launch of Spring Clean Northern Kentucky. This is an initiative to help Northern Kentucky residents safely dispose of any expired or unneeded medications, especially opioid pain medication and other narcotics.

A total of 6,000 biodegradable drug disposal pouches are available free at more than 30 locations

THE ENQUIRER/MELISSA REINERT

This drug disposal pouch is available free throughout Northern Kentucky.

in Northern Kentucky.

“Just as drug addiction often begins in the medicine cabinet, our spring cleaning needs to start there as well,” said Rep. Addia Wuchner, R-Boone County, who spearheaded the initiative. “Medication disposal pouches are safe, effective (and) easy to use and provide one more option to protect our communities by making sure that unused prescription pain medications and narcotics are disposed of safely and are not accidentally or intentionally misused.”

The pouches, donated

by Mallinkrodt Pharmaceuticals, use patented technology to neutralize the active ingredients in opioid painkillers and other drugs in pill, liquid and transdermal patch forms.

Using the pouches, individuals can safety dispose of medications at home.

For a list of locations distributing the free pouches, visit www.nky health.org.

BRIEFLY Taylor Mill gets slide repair funding The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet announced that the city of Taylor Mill will receive $50,000 in Municipal Road Aid emergency funds. These funds will be used for a slide repair on Old Taylor Mill Road making it safer for cars, school buses and other vehicles that rely upon this roadway.

The slide is located approximately 0.157 miles west of Millstream Road at the 0.700 milepoint in the city of Taylor Mill.

“The Bevin administration is committed to the Cabinet’s mission of providing a safe, reliable transportation network for all Kentuckians,” said Transportation Secretary Greg Thomas.

“These emergency funds will help local governments repair and restore damaged infrastructure throughout their communities.”

The city of Taylor Mill is responsible for administering the work.

Roadhouse regulation repeal signed Recently, Gov. Matt Bevin signed House Bill 26 into law, a measure which further trims red tape in government. This bill repeals an outdated mandate on local government, which requires sheriff’s departments to inspect dance halls, roadhouses, and other public places every month, as well as write a report to other local officials.

Rep. Adam Koenig

sponsored and moved this piece of legislation through both the House and Senate, which passed in near unanimous fashion. HB 26 is an action to remove archaic regulations from the books, without impacting the enforcement of existing statutes, according to a press release from Koenig’s office.

In the past, this law was in place to inform the circuit court judge, as well as grand juries, of any facilities that are enabling illegal gaming operations.

With the Alcohol Beverage Control Board now performing most of these responsibilities, the law is no longer necessary in Kentucky.

Villa Madonna also has an individual state champion, Eli Dropic, who went undefeated while defeating a twotime defending state individual champion and last year’s national champion in the process.

Other top 10 finishers: Francesca Loeb, third; Caleb Schleper, seventh, and Connor Burke, ninth.

Hudson Bond had a clinching victory in the final round, after Villa Madonna was tied with Rosa Parks after the second, third and fourth rounds.

In the K-three tournament, Brendon Ramdass placed fifth, Ari Poddar placed seventh and Clifton Valentine placed 11th.

In the K-five tournament, Rowen Poddar finished tied for 10th.

Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes on March 21 conducted a lengthy discussion with hundreds of students at Highlands High School, community members and local leaders in Northern Kentucky on improving Kentucky’s civic health.

Grimes is hosting these discussions on a statewide tour following the release of the latest Kentucky Civic Health Index, which measures the state of engagement and civic literacy in the commonwealth through the study of several indicators. Grimes’ tour includes talks with citizens in each congressional district about how to get more people Kentuckians engaged and informed.

“Engagement is the key to solving the issues that face Kentucky communities,” Grimes said.

“We have to find a way to bring every Kentuckian to the table, to get every Kentuckian involved in their neighborhoods, their schools, their places of worship, their civic organizations, and their communities. More people engaged means more voices for solutions.”

The Index showed the commonwealth im-

proved in national rankings in social connectedness, community engagement and voter registration since Grimes released the first report in 2012. But, it also showed that fewer than half of Kentuckians have confidence in media, a decline of more than 10 percent in three years, and fewer Kentuckians are trusting of their neighbors, according to a press release. Overall, Kentucky ranks 48th in the nation, ahead of only New Mexico (49th), Montana (50th) and Utah (51st), for public confidence in media.

Part of the conversation centered on the importance of civic education to help build trust in our government.

“If you don’t understand the fundamentals about what government is doing and what it can do, the less l(likely) you are (to) trust government. The foundation of trust begins with understanding,” said Highland student Kayla Groneck.

“We talk all the time about how we are among the freest people in the world, but there’s little discussion about what our responsibilities are

as citizens,” said Dr. Mike Farrell, executive director of the Scripps Howard First Amendment Center at the University of Kentucky. “We need to continue to work to improve the discussion of what it means to be a citizen.”

In addition to Groneck and Farrell, Grimes’ panel included Highlands student Lily Fennell and Campbell County Judgeexecutive Steve Pendery.

Community involvement was mentioned as key to engagement with fellow citizens. Pendery made a plea to students in attendance to get involved in local organizations.

“Pick any civic organization and you find that younger people are not involved. Younger people are not only welcome, they are necessary to our local civic organizations,” Pendery said.

Partners on the Kentucky Civic Health Index are the Secretary of State’s office, the Institute for Citizenship and Social Responsibility at Western Kentucky University, the National Conference on Citizenship, and the McConnell Center at the University of Louisville.

Baking giving you lemons?

Make (foolproof) lemon curd For those of you who think everything I cook turns out perfectly, here’s a reality check.

I had some leftover sliced, unpeeled apples, from a kids event I did with my friend and former colleague, Chris Ohmer of Cincinnati Magazine. I had wanted to try a new streusel topping recipe so having the apples sliced Rita and ready to go Heikenfeld was a no-brainer.

Or so I thought.

RITA’S KITCHEN Turns out the peelings on the apples prevented them from baking in the time allotted. By the time the apples baked up tender, the streusel topping was like a brick.

A much-awaited dessert was given to my “girls,” the chickens, who even had a hard time pecking through the THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD streusel.

I always have success with Lemon curd mousse is as simple as adding whipping cream to lemon curd, this lemon curd recipe I prom- and spooning it into a fancy dessert dish. ised a while back. I can say that this is just about foolproof if you follow instructions.

Rita’s blender lemon curd By combining ingredients in the blender, you get a head start on the cooking time. And by adding the butter in a slow stream, you “temper” the eggs, warming them enough so that when they cook in the pan there is less tendency for them to curdle. Instructions are detailed to make it easy for you.

1 cup granulated sugar 2/3 cup fresh lemon juice 5 large eggs, must be room temperature 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and kept hot Combine sugar, juice and eggs in blender. Whirl until mixed.

On low speed, add butter slowly in thin stream.

Transfer to heavy or non-stick saucepan, or double boiler, and cook over low heat, whisking occasionally, until mixture is slightly thickened, about 10-15 minutes. Don’t let it boil or it may curdle. At first, it will seem like forever before the mixture starts to thicken. Be patient.

The curd is cooked when it reaches about 170 degrees, but you can see that it's cooked when your finger leaves a clear path on the back of a spoon (see photo on my website abouteating.com).

Cool and refrigerate, covered. The curd will continue to thicken after it’s refrigerated. You’ll be able to spoon the curd out after it’s chilled properly, several hours or so.

Store in refrigerator up to 1 week or in the freezer up to 2 months. Makes two cups.

Oh no! I see pieces of cooked egg in the curd after cooking.

The curd was cooked to too high a temperature. Eggs start to “scramble” around 180 degrees. But don’t panic. Just push the curd through a fine sieve. Most of the lumps will come out.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen » Substitute limes for the lemon. Or use a combo of both. » Freeze whole lemons or limes for up to 6 months.

Lemon curd mousse No real recipe here, but I usually use 1 cup of chilled lemon curd and 1 cup of whipping cream.

Whip the cream, stir in the curd and taste to see if it needs to be more lemony. Just stir in more curd to taste.

Spoon into dessert glasses and top with more whipped cream and a berry or mint leaf.

AmeriCorps gets things done for Kentucky Every year, AmeriCorps grants are awarded to eligible organizations proposing to strengthen local communities.

Members serve faith-based and nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, and local and state government agencies.

To maximize efforts, AmeriCorps members even recruit local volunteers in your community who collaborate to help fulfill local needs and become stakeholders in their programs’ missions.

This year, AmeriCorps programs will provide more than 1,200 individuals the opportunity to provide intensive, resultsdriven service to meet community needs related to education, substance abuse prevention, health, and the economy in more than 450 service locations in every part of Kentucky.

In Jefferson County, REACH (Ready to Extend A Caring Hand) Corps pairs disadvantaged students with caring

adults, who counsel them to improve attendance, class participation and grades.

In Western Joe Kentucky’s Bringardner seven-county Owensboro COMMUNITY RECORDER GUEST area, Senior COLUMNIST Connections members provide services to 6,000 older adults at various sites with the goal to reduce the rate of hospitalization and improve nutrition and socialization. Volunteers are placed with non-profits, faith-based and communitybased agencies.

Based in Hazard, the Teach for America-Appalachia program aims to improve educational outcomes for more than 3,500 students. Volunteer members work in schools, serve as guest lecturers, student reme-

diation volunteers and help students with applications to college and technical school.

The scourge of substance abuse is being addressed by some current programs. Operation UNITE Service Corps AmeriCorps members tutor at-risk students in math at poor, rural elementary schools in Eastern Kentucky. Members also teach students, parents, guardians, and school staff about drug and opioid awareness and prevention and are active in their county’s antidrug coalition.

There are countless other examples of the great work being done AmeriCorps in local communities. The program has a rich history in the commonwealth: Over 23 years, more than 11,000 Kentuckians have served more than 17 million hours and have qualified for Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards totaling more than $40.8 million. After completing

a full term of service, AmeriCorps members are eligible for an education award, currently $5,775, which can be used to repay student loans or cover tuition.

From an economic standpoint, AmeriCorps is a good investment in workforce training. Recent studies show a strong connection between volunteering and employment, particularly in rural areas, where volunteers are 57 percent more likely to find employment. In fact, eight out of 10 alumni say AmeriCorps helped them get a job.

The need for Kentucky AmeriCorps and its varied programs is significant. In the 2016 national grant competition, Kentucky received $2.2 million more than the previous grant year, reflecting the unmet needs in communities across our state. Including the federal AmeriCorps grant funds, local match funds and

education awards, the value to Kentucky for this year alone is more than $15 million.

Gov. Matt Bevin speaks often about “servant leadership” and the great rewards of dedicating ourselves to helping others. AmeriCorps members do just that. They are resourceful, determined and civic minded.

AmeriCorps is full-time, short-term service – one or two years – that provides members a living allowance, health insurance, child care assistance, and eligibility to have up to 100 percent of the interest paid on their student loans. You can learn more online at http://chfs.ky.gov/ServeKY or by calling 502-564-7420.

Joe Bringardner is executive director of the Kentucky Commission on Community Volunteerism and Service, the agency that manages Kentucky’s AmeriCorps national service programs.

CH@TROOM Last week’s question The legislature passed a bill encouraging school districts to wait until late August to start the school year. If Governor Bevin signs the bill, do you want your school board to delay the start of the school year? Why or why not?

“No. I prefer an earlier start and prefer to be local and not state determined. ... I’m not un-

derstanding how starting three weeks later and ending three weeks later increases the length of summer break.”

John Pile

“I was a homeschool mom so the school system vacations never affected me ... however I think the more local control of such things the better. Why should the state have a say in that?”

Joy Kenton Tarleton

“September through May is perfect!”

Debbie Jump Schmidt

“I don’t really see what difference it

Don’t get caught in delinquent tax web Every year my office gets dozens of calls stating that they never received a tax bill for their property. If you own property, you must pay taxes on that property. If you do not receive your tax bill, then state law places the burden on you to obtain a copy of your bill and pay the taxes.

The punishments mandated by state law are so severe that the consequences of inaction will inevitably cost you additional precious funds. Do not get caught in the delinquent tax web. Pay your real estate taxes before they become delinquent.

Kentucky’s penalties for not paying property taxes on time are, to put it mildly, harsh! Please consider this article a warning about the consequences of not paying property taxes timely.

State law mandates that delinquent tax bills incur penalties and interest. Fees as much as 30 percent of the face tax amount are added to the tax bill in addition to 1 percent per month or 12 percent per year in interest. These delinquent tax bills are put up for sale sometime between July 14 and Sept. 1 of each year. The state has very carefully removed authority on these matters from the local officials. The county at-

torney’s office attempts to notify the delinquent taxpayers of the Steven J. pending Franzen sale date 60 days COMMUNITY RECORDER GUEST and COLUMNIST again 30 days prior to the tax bill sale.

The already burdensome penalties and interest that are levied, increases exponentially when the tax bill is actually sold. When the bills are transferred to the clerk by the sheriff, the tax bills become Certificates of Delinquencies.

Certificates of Delinquencies are sold to third-party purchasers and their lien is recorded with the county clerk.

Once a tax bill is sold to a third-party purchaser, a certificate of delinquency is filed by the county clerk in the real estate records establishing a lien on the property. The third-party tax bill purchaser sends a letter to the property owner notifying the delinquent tax bill payer that their tax bill has been purchased and stating the amount of fees that are due.

After a waiting period, the third-party tax bill purchaser can file a fore-

closure suit against the property. State law permits the third-party tax bill purchaser to add administrative fees, costs, and attorney fees to its bill. After this process, your tax bill is several times the amount of the original bill and you are in danger of losing your property in a foreclosure sale. A property owner may also have to pay the attorney fees of their mortgage holder during this process.

I hope this article has explained the delinquent tax bill process and emphasizes the importance of every property owner paying their tax bill before it becomes delinquent. It is important to note that it is solely the responsibility of the property owner to see that its tax bill has been paid. If you do not receive a tax bill, you need to contact the sheriff’s or county clerk’s office to obtain a copy of your tax bill.

makes. When I taught in Kentucky we did not have AC but I think most schools today are air conditioned. And I remember some Septembers being so hot that

school was dismissed at 1 p.m. As for the tourism dollars, I am not sure there would be an impact. We are not exactly a destination state so if someone wants to visit the horse parks or the caves or breweries, etc., then they will visit.”

VITA volunteers provide income tax assistance I recently visited VITA sites in North Avondale and Madisonville.

VITA is a Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program where trained volunteers provide free tax help to people who make $54,000 or less, persons with disabilities and limited English speaking taxpayers who need assistance in preparing their own tax returns.

Many people there had similar stories. All were working or in school or job training.

Each was grateful for the free tax preparation. Most were eligible for the federal earned income tax credit which helps low-wage workers by reducing the amount of tax they pay. Some were eligible for the child tax credit which assists low income families raising children.

Here are four of their stories.

Dana has always worked. But at age 57, she is hoping to expand her computer skills for a new job different from fast food, hotel or warehouse work. She learned about VITA by calling United Way 211.

She said her VITA volunteer helped her to get all tax credits available to her. She received the EITC for workers between ages 25-65, without eligible children, earning between

$14,880 and $20,430.

She said that anything Cindy Fessler she gets back is COMMUNITY RECORDER GUEST a blessCOLUMNIST ing and will be used for car repairs and to pay a bill or two. She is eager to tell her friends about VITA. Barbara is a housekeeper at a nursing home. Her children are grown, but for the past five years she has been a foster mom to a 9year-old girl. Barbara always comes to a VITA site to get her taxes done for free because she says, “They know what they are doing!”

Barbara qualified for both the EITC and the CTC. She is grateful for the extra refund which will be used for bills, groceries, clothing for her growing daughter and Christmas savings.

Kelvin is a homeowner with many skills. He is a martial artist and has his CDL. He has driven school buses for many years, but he is ready for a change. He is going back to school for IT and computer technology. He is ready for a desk job and knows that computer competency is a must.

His son told him about

VITA. He is very excited to tell others about this “site within a community center with well-trained volunteers who will assist you for free!” If he receives the EITC it will go to pay utilities. Kelvin is grateful that United Way funds programs like VITA and partners with agencies throughout the community to help people like him. He says it is “very central to the community. The public doesn’t have to be stagnant. Take advantage of the opportunities!”

Kanesha is 21and a single mother. She works as a nurse’s aide while studying nursing.

She qualified for the CTC, but is too young to get the EITC. Lowering the EITC age to 21 would help her tremendously. She said that anything she receives will be used for shoes and clothing for herself and her son.

There are similar stories all over the United States. All show that the EITC and CTC are crucial supports for low-income workers.

Tell your elected officials that you support tax reform that includes expanding the EITC to adults under 25 and over 65 and the CTC to adults raising non-custodial children.

Aleah Tucker of Holy Cross cranks up a pitch last year.

Softball teams swing into action James Weber jweber@communitypress.com

Here is a look at softball programs in Kenton County.

Defending champion Dixie Heights, with most everybody back, and St. Henry are favored in the 34th District.

Defending champ Notre Dame and Holy Cross are favored in the 35th. The Pandas return five starters. In the Eighth Region, Simon Kenton seeks a 32nd District tournament threepeat.

Simon Kenton: The Pioneers were 16-14 last year for head coach Jeff Morgan, who returns for his ninth season.

Top players include senior centerfielder Annlisa Telesz and eighth-graders Macy Krohman (pitcher), Haley Perry (third base), Aubrey Dance (second base) and Teagan Turpin (catcher).

Krohman had a 1.79 ERA and a .341 batting average.

Villa Madonna: VMA was 10-9 last year under head coach David Meier. He returns sophomore Brooke Meier, the two-time defending conference player of the year in Division III. She is a pitcher and a fifth-ear starter.

Sophomore Anna Wagner, a fifth-year starter at catcher, is two-time first team all-conference. Junior second baseman Anna Bosley returns at second base. Senior Carol Dosker moves to third base from the outfield, and seventh-grader Camdyn Meier returns in the outfield. Coach Meier said the experience of his battery should lead to a strong foundation for a young team.

Notre Dame: Senior Kennedy Baugh leads Notre

Dame. Co-player of the year in the Northern Kentucky, she hit .577 with 45 hits, 33 runs scored and 22 RBI. She plays catcher.

Senior Cori Ladanyi anchors the infield for the Pandas. She hit. 377 with 29 runs scored and 29 RBI last year.

Dixie Heights: Sophomore Kaylee McGinn and senior Sam Yake lead Dixie Heights.

McGinn, who plays catcher and first base, hit .509 with 24 RBI. She was first team allconference. Yake was 10-4 on the mound with 80 strikeouts and in 74 innings, plus a 2.46 ERA. St. Henry: Freshman shortstop Kaitlyn Becknell is one of St. Henry’s top returners after hitting .417 with 15 runs scored. Senior Jessie Roark Jessie Roark was second team all-conference.

Holy Cross shortstop Aleah Tucker was first team all-conference after hitting .589 with 27 RBI, 29 steals, 45 runs scored and 43 hits. Senior Courtney Turner hit. 460 while playing several positions. Sophomores Madeline Hyde and Natalie Sparling were honorable mention allconference last year.

Holmes: The Bulldogs return three all-conference picks in sophomores Kamari Graham and Kaitlynn Cooper, and senior Seyonna Graham.

Calvary Christian: Sophomore Olivia Palasek from Calvary was 13-4 last year on the mound. She and sophomore Savanna Schwartz are returning all-conference picks.

Lloyd senior pitcher Rachel Crawford was second See SWING, Page 2B Notre Dame’s Kennedy Baugh is one of the top returning players in the area.

High school tennis season is already in full swing. Here is a look at some of the local teams based on information provided by coaches and last year’s award winners.

The first Covington Catholic tennis season with practices and matches on campus served up a year of accomplishments for the Colonels. They swept the 2016 regional singles, doubles and team titles while winning their 18th championship in 29 years. Their longtime leader, Al Hertsenberg, was named The Enquirer’s Northern Kentucky co-coach of the year.

The second season at Yung Family Tennis Complex promises more home cooking and Colonels prosperity as they seek to maintain their stranglehold on the Ninth Region. There are 11 home matches at the sixcourt facility. The Colonels welcome back nine returning players.

“We’re hoping for a good year,” Hertsenberg said. “Ryle is pretty good with the top doubles team. Villa Madonna has some competitive singles players. Teams like Conner and Calvary Christian and Covington Latin have at least one really good player.”

The Colonels have a little bit

of everything, including unmatched tradition. Since the beginning of 2009, they have won eight regional titles, finished state runner-up twice and crowned three state singles champions. They have won 15 consecutive regional crowns.

The recipe for the Colonels’ success is no secret. They are perennially flush with talent providing uncommon depth and plenty of options for Hertsenberg, a veteran at piecing together the puzzle. By May, he hopes to see a big picture.

“We are blessed with good players,” said Hertsenberg, in his 27th year at the school. “In addition to those we have coming back, we have a pair of freshmen who are going to be pretty good.”

The coach is working with two of the area’s better singles players, defending regional champion Anthony Bosch, a senior, and returning runner-up Max Cook, a sophomore.

There’s also talented sophomore Luke McHale and a passel of doubles standouts, including senior Jared Haught, one-half of last year’s winning tandem, and emerging sophomore twins Benito and Christiano Trojani.

Depth is so plentiful at CovCath that Hertsenberg needs most of the schedule to mix and match players as he searches for right combinations at region and state. There are 55

days between the end of preseason and the May 5 start of the Ninth Region tournament. The coach wants to learn as much as possible in March and begin putting new knowledge to use in April. He front-loads the schedule and plays about every other day. Now that courts are on campus, the task is less taxing.

“We’re not moving around nearly as much and it’s a lot different,” said Hertsenberg, who substitutes player analysis for what was once travel time. “We have several combinations we need to work through in doubles. We need to figure out which Trojani complements Haught the best, and who that leaves for the other doubles team. It’s a revolving door right now.”

On the girls’ side, Notre Dame Academy seeks its 22nd straight Ninth Region crown.

Kylie Moellering was part of last year’s regional champion doubles tandem and advanced to the state semifinals. The Pandas welcome two talented freshmen, Lauren Fley and Isabelle Bailey, who will make immediate impacts. Team challengers include Beechwood, Cooper, Dixie Heights, Ryle, Simon Kenton and Villa Madonna.

Cooper’s Ellie Zureick was regional singles runner-up last year.

Skyline Chili Reds Futures Showcase features 47 games Scott Springer sspringer@enquirer.com

ROSELAWN – For a sixth year, area high school baseball and softball players will get a chance at a magical moment like Harrison High School’s Michael Knollman had in 2015.

Blessed with an opportunity to play at the home of the Reds, Great American Ballpark, Knollman’s Harrison Wildcats trailed Oak Hills in the seventh inning that April. The Wildcats proceeded to load the bases, then Knollman lived a dream he likely played out in his head hundreds of times. He belted a walk-off grand slam into the right-field seats.

“Right over the Jeff Wyler sign,” Harrison coach Shawn Sowders said proudly.

The 2017 Skyline Chili Reds Futures High School Showcase features 84 teams playing 47 games between April 1-24 at prestigious venues like the P&G Cincinnati MLB Youth Academy in Roselawn, the Midland Complex, Xavier, Wright

State, Meinken All-Star Field in Covington and Prasco Park.

Ten teams were selected for a Big League Weekend April 7-8 at Great American Ballpark and Harrison’s Wildcats will return for an Oak Hills rematch.

“The way we won last time is going to be bulletin board stuff,” Sowders said grinning.

“Our kids are excited about it.

Every time you play Oak Hills it’s an exciting game because of the rivalry between the two schools, but at Great American Ballpark it just escalates it!”

St. Xavier will also return to the pro yard for a tangle with the Highlands Bluebirds.

“It truly is a big-league experience for those guys,” Bombers coach Bob Sherlock said.

“We treat it as such. We get a charter bus to take the kids to the ballpark. The Reds do such a good job in treating it, which is big league in every respect.”

Tickets for the games are available before games at participating schools and on game day at the various venues. Each $5 ticket is good for all games

on that day and includes a voucher for a free View Level ticket to select 2017 Reds home games. It also includes a coupon for one free Skyline Chili Cheese Coney.

The event begins with Aiken and Seven Hills April 1 at the P&G Cincinnati MLB Youth Academy, the first of six baseball and two softball games. It ends with a Greater Catholic League-South doubleheader at Prasco Park featuring Moeller and St. Xavier and Elder and La Salle on April 24.

In between, Covington Catholic and Newport Central Catholic start a triple-header at Meinken All-Star Field April 13 and Edgewood and Franklin play the first game at Wright State April 17.

Softball is part of the festivities for a second straight year as Mason and Lebanon start things off April 1 on Field 4 of the Youth Academy April 1 at 1 p.m. Afterward, Milford and Ursuline Academy will slug it See CHILI, Page 2B

SHORT HOPS James Weber jweber@communitypress.com

NKU Notes » Baseball: Redshirt junior infielder Jake Richmond has been named the Horizon League Batter of the Week after batting .500 with six RBI, two home runs and four runs scored in a three-game sweep of Milwaukee to open Horizon League play March 18-19.

The Cincinnati native was 7-for-14 at the plate and posted a .929 slugging percentage and .533 on-base percentage. He was also 2-for-2 in stolen bases and never struck out.

Richmond had a multi-hit showing in each of the three games against the Panthers and had a pair of multi-RBI performances as well.

The shortstop went 2for-4 with a run scored and an RBI to help NKU to a 13-9 series-opening victory on Saturday at Bill Aker Baseball Complex. He then batted a combined 5-for-10 with two home runs, five RBI and three runs scored in a doubleheader on Sunday. In the series finale, Richmond was 3-for-5 with three RBI and a home run. He drove in the game-winning run on an RBI single with two outs in the eighth inning for a 6-5 win. » Men’s golf: Jacob Poore climbed the individual leaderboard and helped the Northern Kentucky men’s golf team secure an 11thplace showing in the Cape Fear National Intercollegiate tournament on Monday. Poore carded an impressive 2under 70 to shoot 11 spots up the individual leaderboard. He finished tied for eighth.

Matt Wetherill shot a third-straight score in the 70s, posting a 75 on Monday to finish 25th.

Archery: Covington Catholic High School’s archery team, in its second season as a CCH varsity sport, has received a generous grant from the Friends of NRA organization for a second time. This year’s grant is $4,890, for a two-year total of $9,440 ($4,550 was received in 2016). The grant money has provided the school with 20 right-handed bows, five left-handed bows, 20 tar-

gets, 24 dozen arrows, two arrow curtains, repair equipment, and 200 paper targets to use in tournaments.

The equipment is used by the 27-member archery team as well as the Covington Catholic gym classes (archery has been added to the CCH physical education curriculum). CovCath was able to host nearly 400 archers in its first tournament in December.

Having its own equipment has enabled the team to practice several times a week, and become more competitive as a team and as individuals. The team has been very competitive this year with several topfive team finishes, and competed in the KHSAA 6th Regional Tournament March 25 at Calvary Christian. In only its second season, the CCH team (jointly with Notre Dame Academy) qualified for the NASP Kentucky state tournament March 31-April 1 at the Louisville Convention Center.

TMC Notes » Baseball: The Saints tallied 24 hits March 21 as they defeated Wilmington College, 15-4, in a non-conference game at home.

First-year pitcher Griffin Smallwood (Dixie Heights) earned his first collegiate win as he pitched five inning giving up four runs (three earned) on seven hits and struck out three.

First-year pitcher Justin Ward (Elder) pitched three shutout innings of relief and gave up two hits, while striking out one. First-year pitcher Zach Friend (Cooper) pitched a scoreless ninth and didn’t allow a hit, while striking out one.

Sophomore shortstop Jacob Whitford (Highlands) led the team at the plate as she was twofor-five with his first collegiate home run, two runs scored and four runs batted-in. Other Saints with a big day at the plate was senior Casey Metzger (Oak Hills), who was threefor-five with a triple, a run scored and two RBI, junior Ben Laumann (Oak Hills), who was three-for-four with a home run, two runs scored and two RBI, sophomore left fielder

Asparagus a versatile and tasty vegetable FILE PHOTO

Decluttering your closet is a liberating experience. Life begins to feel more manageable and your clothing and shoes are better suited to who you are now.

Freeing your closet from clutter Spring is officially here and it’s time to start cleaning. The cleaning part may not be totally happening in my home, but I am trying to declutter.

Decluttering your closet is a liberating experience. Life begins to feel more manageable and your clothing and shoes are better suited to who you are now.

If tackling all of the closets at once is to too daunting, set aside a firm two hours each week and clear one room’s closet at a time.

Start by getting four large boxes. Label them keep, throw out, donate and not sure.

If you are afraid you will throw out something mistakenly, use clear plastic bags and clearly label each.

Be tough but give all family members a chance to decide what goes and what stays.

Start at the top shelf and work your way down.

Take everything off the shelves.

When everything is off the shelf, dust and wipe down the

area.

Put the clothes you have not worn for a while but still like in the not sure area.

Near the end of the two hours, ruthlessly get rid of as many items as you can. Getting rid of extra clothes allows your clothing staples to breathe in the closet instead of being packed in tight. Think of the ironing time you will save!

As your throw away box or bag fills up, take it to the garbage can right away so you won’t be tempted to root through it again. As the donate

box or bag fills, put it in the trunk of your car.

The idea is to get the clutter out of your house for good.

When your closet is empty, clean the floor and walls. As you add clothes back to the closet, collect them in colors to save you time in the morning when you are getting dressed. Use shoe racks or an over-the-door shoe container and sort the shoes according to color too.

Separate everyday clothes from work outfits.

Then promise yourself that from now on, if something goes in your closet, something else will go out. If you follow this rule, you should never have to have another closet-cleaning marathon.

Beautiful green spears of asparagus are appearing at local groceries and will soon be popping up in some home gardens.

When selecting asparagus, choose bright green stalks with tightly closed tips. Fresh asparagus will keep for a week or more in the refrigerator. It is best to keep the cut ends in a small amount of water or wrapped with wet paper towels and in a plastic bag.

One pound of asparagus yields about 2 cups of pieces. About six spears is usually considered a serving.

One-half cup of fresh, steamed asparagus has 22 calories, 2 grams of protein, and 4 grams of carbohydrate.

Additionally asparagus is a good source of vitamin A and folate.

In addition to steaming, asparagus can be broiled, grilled or stir fried. The key is to not overcook it causing it to become mushy.

Cooperative Extension has several recipes developed by University of Kentucky dietetic students in cooperation with the Kentucky Department of Agriculture and Kentucky Cooperative Extension that feature asparagus.

Grease an 11-by-7-inch baking dish. In a bowl, mix together the mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice, thyme, salt and pepper; set aside. Place asparagus in a microwave safe dish and microwave on high one

to one and one-half minutes.

Place chicken breasts between two sheets of heavy plastic on a firm surface.

Pound the chicken breasts with the smooth side of a meat mallet to thickness of one-fourth inch.

Place one slice of cheese and four microwaved asparagus spears on each breast.

Tightly roll the chicken breasts around the spears and cheese.

Place each, seam side down, in the prepared dish.

Apply a coating of the mustard mixture to each chicken breast and sprinkle with panko crumbs, pressing the crumbs into the chicken to secure.

Bake 35 minutes or until the chicken temperature is 165 degrees F. For crisper chicken, place roll-ups under the boiler for 1 to 2 minutes on high.

Car dealer’s inspection not good enough When you buy a used car how can you be sure the vehicle is in good operating condition?

Often the dealer will tell you there was a multipoint inspection to make sure everything is running well. As a Cincinnati area man learned, that’s just not good enough.

Shannon, of Greater Cincinnati, writes, “My son is having a lot of trouble with a car dealership and a warranty he purchased through the dealer. He started having trouble with the car shortly after buying it, and the dealer couldn’t find the problem (even though) the car was in the shop on several occasions.”

It turns out her son had bought the vehicle “AS IS,” which means the dealer won’t fix it at no cost should something go wrong with the vehicle. In addition, it was later discovered aftermarket parts on the car meant no extended warranty could be bought that would have covered the vehicle.

All this occurred on a vehicle she said had supposedly been inspected by the dealer. Even major used car sales groups have been found to have problems with such inspections.

Recently, the Federal Trade Commission cited CarMax and its “125+ Point Inspection.” CarMax says its cars undergo, on average, “12 hours of renewing-sandwiched between two meticulous inspections.” But, the FTC charged CarMax failed to adequately disclose some of its cars had open recalls.

The FTC says the recalls included defects that, “could cause serious injury, Howard including Ain the GM key ignition HEY HOWARD! switch defect, as well as the Takata airbag defect.”

Two other major automotive groups were also sued by the FTC because they too touted a “rigorous multi-point inspection with our factory trained technicians.” But they too failed to, “properly disclose that some of their vehicles were subject to recalls for defects that could result in serious injury.”

The big thing to remember is that used car dealers can sell vehicles that have been recalled for known safety defects just as long as they don’t claim the vehicles have passed a safety inspection. As a result, it’s up to the consumer to make sure any used car they’re considering buying does get checked out by their own ASE Certified Mechanic. That mechanic will not only tell you about the condition of the vehicle—but will also make sure there are no open safety recalls.

You can check out any vehicle for safety recalls by entering the VIN number into the website. www.nhtsa.gov/recalls.

Howard Ain appears as the Troubleshooter on WKRC-TV Local 12 News.
