Project to replace water mains, lead lines in Newport

By Nathan Granger

proved those phases, and they are expected to begin in about a month.

A

massive water main replacement project will begin in Newport later this summer.

“This is the largest water main replacement project that we have done in the city of Newport ever,” Lindsey Rechtin, president and CEO of the Northern Kentucky Water District, told the Newport Board of Commissioners.

The roughly $11.7 million project will replace over five miles of water mains in the city and see the replacement of up to 495 lead service lines. About $8.5 million of the cost will come from grants and loans with forgivable principal issued through both the Campbell County Fiscal Court and the federal government.

The work will be split into four phases, and it is projected to take just under two and a half years to complete. The water district already has started contacting affected property owners that would be affected by the project’s first two phases. The Kentucky Public Service Commission already has ap-

The project dates to 2010, when the water district and the city’s fire department began coordinating on developing a list of projects that might be eligible for grant funding.

The service line replacements will be made of K-type copper. Contractors will replace the old lead pipes using a cable-pull method, by which a cable is inserted into the old infrastructure and then attached to copper replacement coil. An excavator then pulls the cable and pipes through the established channel, extricating the old pipe before connecting the new pipe to the water main.

Customers can opt out of the work if they like, but lead pipe replacement on private property is usually the responsibility of the property owner rather than the water district. As such, both Newport commissioners and representatives from the district encouraged residents to take up the offer if contacted.

Growth organizations invest in region’s workforce

By Kenton Hornbeck

T

hree Northern Kentucky economic development organizations are investing a combined $860,000 in three regional education nonprof-

its.

BE NKY Growth Partnership, EducateNKY and the Spirit of Construction committed varying amounts to strengthen the local workforce and expand access to career development programs. BE NKY CEO Lee Crume announced the investments May 20 during the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce’s monthly Eggs ‘N Issues breakfast.

Representatives from the three Greater Cincinnati nonprofits – Adopt A Class, TradesNKY and Learning Grove – spoke at the event on the importance of community

investment in career development initiatives.

“There were people that told us absolutely, do not get involved here – do not get involved. You cannot move the needle,” Crume said. “We think, if you help, we can move the needle. We’re starting that today.”

BE NKY is NKY’s primary economic development organization, providing existing businesses with expertise and recruiting new companies to the region. EducateNKY is a nonprofit focused on improving education outcomes in the region. The Spirit of Construction is a nonprofit that aims to increase awareness and create opportunities for the region’s construction industry.

Cincinnati-based Adopt A Class connects businesses and civic groups to underserved communities through mentorship

programs to kindergarten through eighth grade students. It will receive $100,000 donations each from BE NKY and EducateNKY to help expand its services in Northern Kentucky.

TradesNKY, a nonprofit that promotes skilled trades education, will receive $420,000 over fiscal years 2025 and 2026 – $220,000 from BE NKY and $200,000 from the Spirit of Construction Foundation. TradesNKY now operates in Campbell County. The investment will allow it to expand into other Northern Kentucky communities.

Learning Grove’s NaviGo College and Career Prep, a nonprofit program that helps schools, students in grades nine through 12, and parents navigate college and career planning, received $240,000, with matchContinues on page 4

“People should be aware that it’s quite a big deal for Northern Kentucky Water District to pay for this,” said Newport Commissioner Ken Rechtin.

The water district’s vice president of engineering and distribution, Richard Harrison, said a typical lead service line replacement can cost a property owner as much as $10,000. District representatives said they had secured about 20 affirmative agreements from property owners thus far.

The district asked the city for help in communicating with affected residents about the project. It has already sent letters, conducted door-knocking campaigns, made phone calls to affected residents and pitched the idea of possibly holding town halls at the city building.

reinstalling indoor electrical grounding if necessary.

Property owners that agree to have their lines replaced must make their properties accessible to workers by removing obstacles, furniture, paneling, stored items and so on. The water district otherwise will not be liable for damage to obstacles. The amount of time the work takes will vary from property to property.

There is a two-year repair warranty after the work is complete, but customers are responsible for maintaining the new pipes

after the warranty expires.

“It was very important to make sure that we included extra time to provide comfort in making sure that the contractor will come back to fix anything that is damaged,” Harrison said, “whether it’s sealing or any of the concrete work that has to be done.”

The water district will continue to contact affected property owners as the project progresses. District representatives are encouraged to report their service line materials to the district so that it can update its service inventory.

Harrison said the affected properties were chosen due to their age.

“These lines are 80 to 120 years old, and they have buildup,” Harrison said. “So, these were selected because they have very low flow. They’re in poor condition. They have incidents of breaks.”

Contractors will use trenchless methods whenever possible and will provide all labor, equipment and materials, including

ing $120,000 investments from BE NKY and EducateNKY. The investments came in response to regional population and labor force trends.

In March 2024, Northern Kentucky University’s Haile College of Business published a study that found that, despite the region’s projected population growth of 58,000 people between 2020 and 2050, the labor force’s working-age population – ages 16 to 64 – is expected to grow by only 8,450.

“That’s not a great number if you’re talking about growing the economy, and that’s what we really want to do,” Crume said.

Crume and other Northern Kentucky lead-

ers are hoping to “skill up” the region’s workforce to offset this trend. That means investing in trade education, improving and expanding workers’ skills, and reengaging sidelined workers to increase both the quantity and quality of region’s workforce.

Hanging at CHAD, where art meets imagination

TradesNKY CEO Phil Griffin said his organization is focused on creating pathways for students.

“One of our goals is to make sure that every student finds a pathway, something that they can commit to, something that’s going to help them along that journey, something that’s going to give them that first step,” he said. “That’s why we have focused on building pathways.”

After a 15-year teaching career, Turner founded the Creative House of Art and Design – CHAD for short – in 2020, at 609 Main St. in Covington’s Mainstrasse Village. Upon entering, customers are greeted with vast displays of art supplies and original works featuring recognizable pop culture characters lining the walls.

“I made it a place I’d want to be as a kid and an adult,” Turner told LINK nky.

“Think of a place you never had in childhood. I wanted to make that. It’s creative and family-oriented.”

Turner and his co-workers have curated a colorful and inviting environment for hosting various art classes. Classes at CHAD typically cost around $40. Every Thursday, the studio hosts kids’ art classes that teach art fundamentals, painting and other skills.

CHAD also holds weeklong, themed summer camps based on popular media like video games, anime and comic books. Turner said the camps are some of the biggest hits with kids and parents, with CHAD already selling out every available spot for 2025 – a first since he started the business.

he just makes everybody smile,” Ward said. “He puts the weight of these kids on his shoulders sometimes when they’re really upset about things.”

To engage the kids, Turner incorporates their favorite subject matter, such as Pokémon, Fortnite and anime, into lesson plans. This includes using characters as a prelude to teach kids about more advanced subjects like anatomy, artistic framing and game design. Pulling from his teaching experience, Turner said it’s much easier to teach children if they’re interested in what they’re learning about.

“If a kid does not enjoy the subject matter, they’re not going to want to learn,” he said. “We’ve taken a Pokémon and broken it down. We design its skeleton. We design the muscles that go over it. If you flip the pages and stuff, you can see it. So the kids think they’re destroying Pokémon, but they don’t realize, ‘Wait a minute, I learned anatomy.’”

Turner said engaging lesson plans are critical in the era of iPads. He sets ground rules for kids who bring their smart devices. He does not outright ban them; instead, he encourages the kids to use them as a resource to enhance their learning experience. Sometimes this includes lessons in programs like Adobe Photoshop or Procreate.

“How can we use our iPad as a resource in the classroom so we can draw from it?”

Turner said.

Turner’s primary focus is on making CHAD a safe space for kids and their parents to unleash their creative potential.

Inclusivity is a core principle at CHAD, with Turner encouraging every child that walks through the door to be their authentic selves.

Parents also have an opportunity to have fun at CHAD, albeit in a different way. The space features a bar in the back, with a turf-covered back patio where adults can unwind while their children are inside.

Jennifer Ward, a CHAD employee, said Turner goes out of his way to foster a positive environment for the kids.

Looking ahead, Turner said he’s looking to expand the business, but his primary focus will always be helping kids. “We take over the world one pair of earrings and art class at a time.”

Opposition to site readiness initiative continues

O

utcry against more industrial development in the southern end of Kenton County continued at the May 13 meeting of the Kenton County Fiscal Court.

“We are not going away,” said resident Rhonda Shank. She encouraged the fiscal court members to “keep southern Kenton County rural.”

Shank was one of four speakers who came out to oppose what the county is calling its site readiness initiative in two areas in the southern part of the county. This was not the first time people have spoken out: Residents spoke in opposition in March to the fiscal court, in February to the Kenton County Planning Commission and at two public meetings, also in February.

The site readiness initiative, a joint venture of the fiscal court, Northern Kentucky Port Authority and Kenton County Planning and Development Services, aims to catalog available land in the county that’s ideal for industrial development. The initiative is in a very early phase and establishes guidelines for county officials to assess the amount of developable industrial space in the county’s comparatively rural south.

The initiative located two focus areas in the southwest end of the county. Both are relatively flat and undeveloped. They also have access to multimodal freight infrastructure thanks to their proximity to I-71/75, CSX railway and the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.

Focus Area 1 is in the county’s southwest, close to the Boone County line, U.S. 25, Ky. 536 and a CSX railway. The area covers 2,180 acres, with buildings potentially covering approximately 22.38% of the land.

Focus Area 2 is in the west-central part of the county’s southern end, along the border with Boone and Grant counties. It has direct access to U.S. 25. The southern portion of the area provides the best area for long-term industrial development.

The details of the land use within the focus areas have changed several times.

Kimberly Clayton Code, another county resident, called attention to a presentation given in February at a public meeting at Piner Elementary School. She argued that figures about purported support for industrial development among county residents were misleading as the 2016 survey question that gathered the information didn’t allow for people to say they were opposed to industrial development outright. She was also worried about the prospect of eminent domain being used to seize private property.

Judge-Executive Kris Knochelmann has stated several times that the county would not use eminent domain in developing land in the focus areas. He could not, however, speak for state authorities, and Clayton-Code wanted the court to know that residents were “concerned about eminent domain from utility companies, the Transportation Cabinet or any other government sector.”

Fusion: A Multicultural Experience Thursday, June 12 | 4:30 - 6:30 PM | The Metropolitan Club, Covington

She called upon the fiscal court to pass a resolution opposing aiding other government sectors or utility providers in using eminent domain for developmental purposes and to retract its statements related to the survey.

She concluded by calling for another resolution “that pauses the SRI with a specific designated timeline to reflect the statements in the letter issued by Judge Knochelmann on March 10.“ Two other speakers expressed similar sentiments. The fiscal court did not pass any resolutions related to the site readiness plan.

Still, the commissioners took a few moments at the end of the meeting to respond to the public comments. Both Joe Nienaber Jr. and Jon Draud (Commissioner Beth Sewell did not attend the meeting) were complimentary of residents’ willingness to

participate in the process, even if it meant exposing themselves to criticism.

“These are emotional issues,…” said Nienaber. “I assure you that what we’re doing, from our perspective, is studying. Ultimately, property owners control their own property rights and their own property decisions.”

“I had a farm,” Draud said. “I certainly would not want any industry next to it.” He added that the initiative was in its early stages.

“We can understand how you’re concerned about it,” Draud continued. “I know the judge and all of us are sensitive about that issue. It’s not predetermined that that’s going to happen.”

“This is an ongoing process that continues,” said Knochelmann, encouraging people to stay up to date on various announcements related to the initiative.

kenton county briefs Covington Schools breaks ground on new softball field

Covington Schools broke ground May 20 on a new Holmes High School softball field, a journey nearly seven years in the making.

“Starting next year, our girls will take the field on the finest surface in the region,” said district Athletic Director Ken Ellis, “fully turfed, beautifully lit and ready for the next generation of athletes.”

The field is the result of “years of planning, delays, determination,” Ellis said.

Spearheaded in the community largely by the Tom Ellis Athletic Memorial, or TEAM, Foundation, the project has taken on more urgency following a 2023 report from the Kentucky High School Athletic Association that concluded the district was deficient in its Title IX compliance.

The report said the district had failed to provide equal facilities for girls sports, especially softball, because the team’s field at the time paled in comparison to Meinken Field, the field for the boys baseball team.

The report suggested the district do all it could to build girls facilities to match the ones provided for boys.

The report came out around the same time the district was attempting to control its costs. At a board meeting in November 2023, board member Stephen Gastright expressed dismay at the ballooning costs of Holmes High School renovation projects.

At the time, those consisted of a grouping of several proposed renovations, including the softball field.

Later discussions saw the softball field project separated from the rest of the proposed construction projects and relocated from its original proposed location on the Holmes campus to Glen O. Swing Elementary, where the May 20 groundbreaking took place (the event was moved inside due to the weather). The field was later bid out as its own separate project.

Gastright spoke at the groundbreaking, congratulating the team and expressing optimism for the future. “We are going to build, I think, a field that is going to be on par with Meinken Field for our softball team,” he said.

The event also included statements from Superintendent Alvin Garrison, Holmes Principal Ben Brown, Covington Mayor Ron Washington, TEAM Foundation member and former coach Joyce Murphy, current coach Dan Curtis as well as some players.

“We are deeply grateful to be able to play on such a nice field,” said player and student Julia Starr.

“We have been wanting this to happen for a while now,” said another player, Carlie Riley.

Murphy said girls athletics had changed since she went to Holmes. During her time as a student, there were no region-wide girls’ athletic organizations, so opportunities for girls to participate in sports were slim or short-lived – a one-day round robin tournament in her case.

By the time she became a coach, “our girls softball team actually won the first regional tournament that was allowed, and that was as high as you could go. [The Kentucky High School Athletic Association] did not even recognize girls softball at the state level.

This [field] is really an action in progress.”

The renovations are expected to take about six months to complete.

Fort Mitchell faces ‘tight’ budget, plans police, firefighter hires Despite tightening revenues, Fort Mitchell’s proposed budget avoids tax hikes while boosting public safety staffing and traffic calming efforts.

On May 19, council members and department heads discussed the budget for the fiscal year that starts July 1 after working in small groups to discuss the city’s needs during a previous budget planning session.

“It’s tight,” Mayor Jude Hehman said of the budget at the May 5 council meeting. “With some economic uncertainty, I plan on presenting a budget that is not going up, but is holding the line. I don’t want to increase any taxes or anything like that, but hold the line.”

The city is planning for lower revenue and expenses next fiscal year. However, the city intends to make some changes in the budget. Some of those changes include: • An additional officer in the police department.

• An additional full-time firefighter.

• Two new speed humps.

City Administrator Edwin King explained the police department’s request for a new officer.

“We have several officers around retirement age,” King said. “We like to have at least two on the street at a time, and an extra officer would give us some flexibility.”

Similarly, he said the fire department functions best with six employees on the day shift. In the past year, they have largely worked with five, and King said an additional full-time firefighter would help round out staffing.

Finally, the speed humps installed after last year’s ordinance change have been a resounding success, according to council members. They have set aside $20,000 for a speed hump on Pleasant Ridge and another that does not yet have a set location.

Council members said May 19 that they are satisfied with the proposed budget.

“Credit to the department heads, I think this is a very good budget,” council member Greg Pohlgeers said. “We can do all this and still be good stewards of taxpayer money.”

Council will give first reading to the proposed budget June 2. The second reading and a vote are expected at the June 23 meeting.

kenton county briefs DAV boot camp empowers veterans to be entrepreneurs

stores such as Fresh Thyme, Dorothy Lane Market and ETC Produce & Provisions in Findlay Market.

“Generally speaking, you get what you pay for, and in this case you are getting way more than what you pay for,” Cook said.

The Disabled American Veterans Patriot Boot Camp teaches entrepreneurial skills to veterans and their spouses. Provided | WCPO

May 16 marked the final day to attend the Disabled American Veterans Patriot Boot Camp, a three-day training program in Erlanger designed to equip veterans with entrepreneurial skills through insights from industry experts.

Because her husband is a veteran, Cook qualifies for the boot camp, which is open to veterans and their spouses. Participants learn skills ranging from storytelling and branding to mergers and acquisitions, with leading experts serving as mentors.

Chef Robert Irvine, a talk show host, entrepreneur and author, is one of the mentors guiding Cook.

“The same thing goes for a section on government contracting, and he branched out beyond that specified niche,” Cook said.

One participant, Lindsey Cook, is the owner and founder of Sweet Ace Cakes, where she creates cookie cakes, hot chocolate mixes and fresh marshmallows. She said she’s continuing her mother’s legacy through these sweet treats.

Cook said that Irvine introduced her to concepts she hadn’t considered relevant to her business. “We talk about business plans and PNLs, but what we never talk about is what is unique about your idea,” Irvine said.

“I started this company with a newborn on my arm looking to continue on with how she loved people by feeding them,” Cook said. Her products are already available in

Irvine said the most important advice for Cook and other entrepreneurs is what he learned his first few years as a business owner.

“My first week in business I was sued by the biggest food company in the world for trade drafts,” Irvine said. “I won, but, if I didn’t have the insurance to fight it, I would be nonexistent today.”

I look forward to Dennis’ collaboraRandy Dennis. Provided | tive efforts to create Thomas More University a future-focused vision for Covington Latin School, while honoring the traditions of academic excellence and faithfilled formation that define the Covington Latin School community.”

The DAV hosts the boot camp three times a year, aiming to empower veterans not only by helping them gain access to government benefits but also by fostering entrepreneurship. “Now we are taking veterans and making them people who can provide benefits, who can provide healthcare to people through their businesses,” said Dan Clare, a DAV spokesperson.

Covington Latin names first head following Thomas More linkup

Dennis was principal of St. Lawrence Catholic School in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. Prior to that he taught at South Dearborn Community Schools for 17 years. He holds a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction from the University of Saint Mary.

Former teacher and principal Randy Dennis has been appointed as head of Covington Latin School. He’s the first leader in the role since the school affiliated with Thomas More University in March.

“It is a great honor to lead such a historic institution as Covington Latin School,” Dennis said in the same release. “As head of school, I will do everything I can to fulfill its mission that is so deeply rooted in Catholic education and excellence.”

A committee of members from both institutions concluded its search earlier this month, and Dennis will start work July 1.

“I am thrilled to welcome Randy Dennis as head of school for Covington Latin School,” said Thomas More University President Jo-

Nevels guided the Bulldogs to 50 wins, including a playoff victory in 2019, their first since 2009 when current Newport Central Catholic coach Stephen Lickert was the coach. The Bulldogs had a solid run from 2019-22, going 29-15 in that stretch.

They’ve gone winless the past two seasons.

Nevels recently took on an assistant principal position with the Covington Schools Transformational Learning Center.

With the 2025 season approaching, Holmes Athletic Director Ken Ellis said they’re most likely looking at filling the role on an interim basis for the time being. Teams are allowed to start practicing on July 10.

Held was playing in Hungary for PEAC-Pecs, where she averaged 16.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.1 steals through 19 games. She has also played professionally in Australia, Italy, Poland and Sweden. The 5-foot-10 guard played collegiately at DePaul, where she helped lead the Blue Demons to three Big East championships and was an All-Big East first team member in 2021.

At Cooper, Held scored over 2,400 points and posted 28.3 points per game in her senior season. She was named KABC 9th Region Player of the Year and named to sev-
