Church buying vacant Thriftway groceryALEXANDRIA — The largest
vacant commercial space in thecity, the former AlexandriaThriftway grocery store, isabout to be filled after 10 yearsempty.
The Bridge CommunityChurch has a contract to buy the44,788-square-foot building and7.33 acres at 7850 AlexandriaPike for $1.1 million, said BoWeaver, lead pastor of thechurch. Weaver said he plans toclose the sale to buy the formerThriftway property Feb. 13.
All 21 Cincinnati area Thrift-way stores closed in 2004, andsince then the former groceryhas been vacant, according to aMay 1, 2004, article in The En-quirer.
“We couldn’t be happier thatthat building is going to be put toa productive use,” said Alexan-dria Mayor Bill Rachford.
Two other buyers were inter-ested in buying the property in2014, but the deals fell through,
he said.“That’s easily the biggest
building in town that was va-cant,” Rachford said.
Weaver said he looked atbuying the former Thriftwaywhen founding the church in
2006 but at that time the askingprice was around $4 million.Around 30 people were attend-ing services at The Bridge backthen, he said.
About 640 people attendedthe two Sunday, Feb. 1, services
this year, he said.“We wouldn’t need a building
if we weren’t doing somethingpeople felt was worth support-ing,” Weaver said.
A converted warehousespace at 1019 Town Drive, Wild-
er, has been home of The Bridgesince 2007, he said.
It’s hoped the renovationsneeded to turn the former Alex-andria grocery into a churchwill be done by the end of thissummer, Weaver said.
Weaver, 59, a native of Flor-ence, lives in Fort Thomas withhis wife Jannie. She is a High-lands High School graduate.Weaver said he started Fellow-ship of Believers in Florence in1981 and was pastor there for 23years. After Weaver departed,the church was renamed 7 HillsChurch.
The Bridge is the secondchurch Weaver has founded. Anew home for the church is nec-essary because the owner of thebuilding the church is leasing inWilder is seeking to expand hisbusiness into the space, Weaversaid.
After finding out the adver-tised asking price for the for-mer Thriftway had dropped to$1.85 million, Weaver started a
Bo Weaver, lead pastor at The Bridge Community Church, and his wife, Jannie, are working to move the churchthey founded in Wilder in 2006 to a vacant former Thriftway grocery store in Alexandria. Weaver said the churchhas a contract to buy the the 7.33-acre property for $1.1 million.

Police in Fort Thomas responded tothree crashes Dec. 16-19 where her-oin-overdosed drivers came to acrashing halt. In one of the Fort Thom-as crashes three police officers willreceive city commendations for re-viving the car’s driver and passenger– both found without a pulse and over-dosing.
And in neighboring Southgate, po-lice responded to a head-on collisionon U.S. 27 in which a driver was over-dosed on heroin and crossed the cen-ter line.
Of the Fort Thomas crashes, twowere on I-471 and a third was on Mar-garete Lane.
Heroin-overdosed drivers are be-ing found behind the wheel with facesturning blue after their breathingshuts down, said Fort Thomas PoliceDepartment Lt. Rich Whitford.
“They just do it, and they’re driv-ing down the road and their brainstarts to shut down and they go blue,”Whitford said.
At 11 a.m. Dec. 16 a driver overdos-ing on heroin swerved three timesacross four lanes of I-471 and forcedother drivers to slow down to avoid awreck themselves.

“It was right underneath of the
Highland Avenue bridge,” Whitfordsaid. “We had to shut down the wholeexpressway. And he lived.”
Harmon, after being treated at ahospital, was charged with possessionof controlled substance - heroin, DUIand possession of drug paraphernalia.
“I mean that’s just the danger that’sout there now,” he said. “That they’redriving down the road and they’re out.They’re overdosed.”
The next evening at 7:18 p.m. Dec.17, officers found two people with nopulse overdosing in a car pulled overon U.S. 27 near Moock Road. The car
had struck a guardrail on a I-471 exitramp as a citizen managed to get theoverdosing driver to pull over, Whit-ford said.
Motorists found overdosed,with seat belts fastened
“Both of them were seat-belted in,and they were (thought to be) dead,”he said.
Officers Zac Rohlfer, Tom Carr andAdam Peak started CPR and rescuebreathing and brought them back be-fore the paramedics arrived, he said.The three officers will be honoredwith commendations at the Feb. 2 FortThomas City Council meeting.
A syringe was found inside the car,and each of the people in the car toldofficers while they were at the hospi-tal they were using heroin they justbought in Cincinnati, Whitford said.

INDEPENDENCE —Mitch Rivas was lookingfor hope when he broughthis daughter Maryssa toCincinnati Children’sHospital Medical Centerlast May. He found it, aswell as a dear friend andpath for the future.
“It’s amazing,” said Ri-vas, a veteran. “I think ofNelson and Ana Soto asfamily. Only God couldhave orchestrated the
events that brought us to-gether. We’ve not onlygotten this wonderful re-lationship, but a medicalmiracle in Maryssa’slife.”
Maryssa, now 19months, has a rare condi-tion involving the trans-position of the greater ar-teries with systematic hy-perplastic left heart syn-drome issues. The illnessbrought the Rivas familyto Cincinnati Children’sfrom their hometownnear Cleveland.
They knew no one inCincinnati and the familyneeded to stay with theirdaughter for over amonth while she under-went lifesaving heart sur-gery. In stepped Nelsonand Ana Soto of Independ-ence.
The Rivas’ church inLorain, Ohio, had sharedtheir story among the con-gregation. Word trickledall the way down to Nel-son Soto in Northern Ken-tucky.
“Lorain is my home-town,” Soto said. “Thiswas a family from myneck of the woods. Mywife told me about it andsaid I should check in withthem. I believe in obeyingmy wife. I FacebookedMitch and asked if I couldcome visit.”
After a four-hour am-bulance ride, Soto was thefirst person to welcomeMitch to Cincinnati. “Wehad an instant connec-tion,” Soto said. The Sotosopened their home toMitch, his wife and theirother children.
Not only did Soto openup his home to the Rivas,he also offered Mitch anopportunity to change hisentire future.
“Not only were we ableto stay with them, but wefound that we shared astrong faith in God,” saidRivas. “As our friendshipblossomed, we began toshare our life stories witheach other. I explainedthat I had attended a com-munity college after be-ing discharged from theUnited States MarineCorps, but didn’t like col-lege and really didn’t seethe need for a college de-gree. I told him I had agood job with the PostalService and didn’t seehow a degree would bene-fit me.”
Soto, who is provostand vice president for ac-ademic affairs of UnionInstitute & University inCincinnati, strongly dis-agreed.
“I told Mitch he wasthe ideal Union student.Veterans, by the very na-ture of their training,have acquired leadershipand organizational skills,and also discipline,” Sotosaid. “A college degree isthe most outward-facingseal of quality that an in-dividual can demon-strate. A college degree isrecognized throughoutthe world. I knew thatMitch would be success-ful, but also, our flexiblemodel would allow time todeal with the issues hewas facing with his youngdaughter.
“Now he’s transform-ing his life and his fam-ily’s life.”
Rivas heeded Soto’s ad-vice. He enrolled in onlinecourses with many cred-its he had earned severalyears ago and will com-plete a bachelor’s degreein leadership. He will thengo on to pursue his mas-ter’s degree and hopes toget a position in the lawenforcement branch ofthe Postal Service.
“People like Mitch arethe reason I do what I do,”Soto said.
Rivas is also helpingwith Union’s veteransprogram to help make theuniversity more accessi-ble to veterans. Rivas saidhe is excited to finish hisdegree.
“I was so close beforebut I got a good job andthen got comfortablewhere I was at,” he said.“But I was sitting dor-mant; there was very lit-tle room to move up in mycareer. Achieving this de-gree will do that.”
Rivas’ daughter is alsodoing well. Maryssa hassuccessfully comethrough a two-part opera-tion and faces a final car-diac procedure in 2016.She recently underwent ahip procedure and wasjust taken out of a bodycast in January.
“Our experience inCincinnati, from the hos-pital to Union, has givenus hope,” Rivas said.

ERLANGER — A millionairehad gone missing. A group ofdetectives was hard at worktrying to find him. Searchingfor clues, they circled thechaotic crime scene.
Black paint was spilled froman overturned can. Someonehad stepped in it, leaving blackfootprints everywhere. Thefloor was speckled with tinyred dots. Was it blood? Therewere empty soda cans, a pair ofglasses, and a clump of hairstuck in the teeth of a comb.
Some of the detectives scrib-bled in their notepads. Othersknelt down with magnifyingglasses, trying to find finger-prints or anything that could beused as DNA evidence.
The detectives, by the way,were all young women. Veryyoung women.
“You can’t touch anything,”said a lady from the back of theclassroom at the Erlanger GirlScout office. Her name wasNancy Rogers. That night sheguided the 28 Junior GirlScouts, all of them fourth- andfifth-graders, through the expe-rience using science to solve acrime.
The program, held on thenight of Jan. 23, was offered inpartnership with iSPACE, anonprofit organization provid-ing science, technology, engi-neering, and mathematics pro-grams to schools, families, andthe community.
“You’re going to becomeforensic scientists,” Rogers hadtold the Scouts earlier thatevening. “What skills do youneed?”
“You need to think out of thebox,” answered 10-year-oldJessica Luebbers of Fort Mitch-ell.
“Yes. A hypothesis is yourbest-educated guess,” Rogersreplied. “So how do we find outif our hypothesis is true ornot?”
“We have to test it,” an-swered 9-year-old Hannah Otti-no of Hebron.
Rogers has been a Girl Scoutsince 1952 and loves workingwith kids, especially when thesubject is science.
“I came from a time whengirls might have thought aboutbeing an astronaut but wouldhave never attempted it,” sheshared. “In my chemistry class,I think there were only threegirls. All the rest were boys.”
For nearly two hours, Rog-ers taught the girls how to ob-serve and “break the code.” Shethen provided informationabout the suspects’ latest activ-ities, their fingerprints, and
DNA reports.Working in teams, the girls
were determined to discoverwhich suspect was responsiblefor the millionaire’s disappear-ance.
“It’s really fun to find outwhose fingerprint it was orwhose hair it was,” shared9-year-old Lily Sassler of Fort
Mitchell. “It makes me feel likeI’m a real detective.”
“Her interest is sparked,”Heather Schulkers said of herdaughter, Cara. They had comeall the way from Ross, Ohio. “Ihave a feeling we are going tobe getting books about DNA,evidence, and science.”

FEBRUARY 12, 2015 • ALEXANDRIA RECORDER • A9NEWS
Every cloud has a silverlining. I was reminded of thatwhen I hung towels on the linein almost zero weather.
My husband, Frank, told methey’d freeze. My answer was,“It’s sunny outside so it will be
warm enough forthem to dry.”After a couple ofhours, I wentoutside to see ifthey were dry.Not only werethey not dry, theline had brokenand the laundrywas frozen sohard that gettingthe woodenclothespins out
was almost impossible.The silver lining? The
ground was also frozen stiff andnot muddy so the laundrystayed clean. I wound up hang-ing them on my Amish dryingrack near the wood stove.
With Lent right around thecorner, you should find somegood deals on seafood. Here’s anice recipe that really sparksup the flavor of salmon.
Oven roasted salmonwith herbs
If your salmon has a thinlayer of dark fat on it, leave itthere - it contains lots of Omega3s. Some folks like to scrape itoff for looks, but not me.
1 (2- to 2 1/2-pound) skin-less, boneless salmon fillet
Salt and freshly groundblack pepper
1/4 cup olive oil2 tablespoons freshly
squeezed lemon juice1/3 cup minced green on-
ions, white and green parts 1/3 cup minced fresh dill1/4 cup minced fresh basil 1/3 cup minced fresh pars-
ley1/2 cup dry white wineLemon wedges, for serving
Preheat the oven to 425 de-grees.
Place the salmon fillet indish and season it generouslywith salt and pepper. Whisktogether the olive oil and lemonjuice and drizzle the mixtureevenly over the salmon. Let itstand at room temperature for15 minutes.
Stir together the green on-ions and herbs. Scatter the herbmixture over the salmon filletand pat down with your hand.Pour the wine around bottom ofsalmon.
Roast the salmon for 10 to 12minutes, until almost cooked inthe center at the thickest part.The center will be firm with
just a line of uncooked salmonin the very center. Check byinserting a small knife into thecenter - it will look pearly pinkand very moist. Cover withaluminum foil and allow to restfor 10 minutes. Cut the salmoncrosswise into serving piecesand serve hot with lemon wedg-es. Serves 6.
Healing bath saltsRemember when you were a
kid and Mom had you soak sorefeet in Epsom salts?
Adding Epsom salt/magne-sium sulfate (not edible) to bathsalts helps you feel better be-cause your skin can absorb themagnesium, relaxing muscles
and nerves. Baking soda helpssoothe skin.
Especially nice with somedrops of essential oil, like laven-der, added to it.
Mix together:2 cups Epsom salts1 cup sea salt1 cup baking sodaEssential oil - about 20
drops - optPour a cup under hot run-
ning water in tub.
Readers want to knowSteaming rice for fluffy
texture:“Sometimes after my rice is
cooked, it sticks together and ishard to separate.”
Once the rice is cooked,remove pan from heat andplace a folded kitchen towel orsturdy paper towel over thepan, replace the lid and let situp to 10 minutes.
What happens here is theresidual heat continues tosteam the rice while the toweltakes up excess moisture. Ialways fluff my rice with a forkbefore removing from pan.

With the new year upon us, Ithought it may be helpful toprovide everyone with someinformation on GraduatedDriver’s Licenses.
In Kentucky, you can get apermit to drive once you haveturned 16 years old. To obtainthe permit, a person must takea written knowledge test, avision test and provide docu-mentation affirming who youare and where you live. If youdo not pass the permit test, youmay attempt it again at thenext available testing day.Additionally, if you are under18 when you apply for a permit,you must also have a SchoolCompliance Verification Form
issued by yourschool and aparent orguardian agreeto take finan-cial responsi-bility for youby signingyour applica-tion.
Once youhave yourpermit, youcan drive when
you have a licensed driver, 21years or older, in the frontpassenger seat and only be-tween the hours of 6 a.m. andmidnight. After 180 days havepassed and the permit holder
has completed a minimum of60 hours of practice drivingand an authorized New DriverEducation Program, the permitholder may apply for an Inter-mediate License. To obtain theIntermediate License, the per-mit holder has to take a drivingskills tests through the CircuitClerk’s Office.
Once a permit holder suc-cessfully completes the skilltest, the examiner will place anIntermediate License stickeron the permit license. If thepermit holder is over age 18, afull driver’s license will beissued. With the IntermediateLicense, the holder can drivebetween 6 a.m. and midnight
and can have up to one un-related person under the age of20 in the vehicle with them.
Prior to receiving a fullunrestricted license, a driverwith an Intermediate Licensemust wait 180 days. Once thatperiod has concluded, the driv-er can apply for a full unre-stricted license so long as theyhave completed an authorizedNew Driver Education Pro-gram, and obtained a Graduat-ed Licensing Eligibility letter.Until a full unrestricted licenseis granted, if the permit holderreceives a moving violation,the permit holder will have torestart the waiting period be-fore progressing to the next
step.I hope this information is
interesting and helpful. Formore information on Graduat-ed Drivers Licenses includinginformation for parents, pleasevisit the Kentucky Transporta-tion Cabinet website at:transportation.ky.gov. If youhave any topics you would liketo have covered in this column,please contact my office byemail at [email protected], by phone at491-7700 or by regular mailaddressed to 319 York St., New-port, KY 41071.

How the Graduated Driver’s License works
Steven J.FranzenCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST
At Newport Central Catho-lic High School, as with Catho-lic schools across the U.S., webelieve it is so important totake time each year to recog-nize the gift of Catholic educa-tion. During Catholic SchoolsWeek 2015 (Jan. 25-31), this isexactly what we did.
For those of us at NCC eachday, we often get so involvedwith the pressing daily issuesthat we forget how lucky weare to be able to practice ourfaith openly, instilling Catholicvalues in our students, allwhile providing a superiorlearning environment.
With ever-increasing op-tions for families, the educa-tion scene is vastly differentthan half a century ago whenCatholic schools saw peakenrollment. Providing a faith-filled and rigorous education,Catholic schools – NCC partic-ularly – are bound to fulfill ourmissions. Catholic schoolshave so much to offer. Not onlyare they academically on parwith most public options, butwe also offer faith and charac-ter development with a lasting,positive impact into the future.
Catholic schools are sup-ported by a 300-year history ofexcellence in the UnitedStates, and the benefits of ourChurch’s schools – academicexcellence, connection to Gos-pel values, commitment tocommunity and Christ, andservice to others – are sorelyneeded to reinvigorate theCatholic subculture lacking in
America today.Many fam-
ilies ask them-selves – whyCatholic edu-cation? Whypay tuition fora Catholiceducationwhen the localpublic option isacademicallyas strong? Asit turns out,
students with at least eightyears of Catholic education dosee measurable increases inacademic achievement (Gree-ley, 2008). Due to accrued so-cial capital throughout years ofCatholic schooling, studentssee higher graduation ratesfrom college and engage incivic service more frequentlythan their public counterparts(McDonald & Schultz, 2012).
Most importantly, studentsfrom Catholic schools holdonto their faith and valuesmore closely than Catholicswho attend public schools.Catholics with eight or moreyears of Catholic educationreport they are “happier, moreaccepting and tolerant, smart-er, benign in their images ofGod, and more likely to viewmarriage as sacramental”(Greeley, 1989).
A quality Catholic educationprovides the faith formationnecessary to bring studentscloser to Jesus Christ. Catholicschools offer salvation throughthe sacraments and help stu-
dents strengthen their relation-ships with God. Our schoolswere strengthened by immi-grants shunned by publicschools, and their dedication toits ideals created a network ofschools committed to teachingGospel values, community,service, and faith.
These teachings are needednow more than ever. FaithfulCatholics attend Mass to join incommunity with one another,share struggles with one anoth-er, and, ultimately, receive theredeeming and fulfilling sacra-ment of the Eucharist with oneanother. Our Catholic Massoffers the sacraments andallows the faithful to live outthe great mysteries of thefaith; Catholic schools strive tobe a vital part of this process,and, for this reason, they re-main an unquestionable optionfor a so many Catholics.
Bishop Roger J. Foys, bish-op of the Diocese of Covington,often notes, “While there maybe alternatives to Catholiceducation, there are no sub-stitutes.” At NCC, we striveevery day to provide eachstudent such a quality Catholiceducation.

Feb. 5 questionThe governors of Ohio and
Kentucky last week announced anew plan to help pay for a newBrent Spence Bridge, which in-cludes a 50 percent toll discountfor daily users of the bridge. Isthis a good idea? Why or whynot?
“As a longtime resident(former) of the Chicago, Illi-nois, area, I think I can give aresponse that is not biased byemotion. Tolls have been a factof life for decades on the Illi-nois tollway system. Recentlythey reworked their tollways toinclude I-pass lanes along withseveral cash lanes. The I-passmakes traveling the toll roadfaster and less costly. I-passtolls are lower than tolls for
cars traveling in the cash lanes.I have a transponder for the Ipass and I love it.
“Here is the down side.There is a tremendous amountof land needed for the cash
lanes and I-pass lanes. In Illi-nois each toll plaza has approxi-mately 16 lanes. Since the BrentSpence bridge has a tremen-dous amount of traffic, howmuch land will be needed forthe cash and I-pass lanes? Thetoll road would go through theoutskirts of Downtown Cincin-nati. Where would Kentuckyand Ohio get the vast amount ofland needed for a high-volumeinterstate with toll plazas?”
Thomas DahlBurlington
“Driven through Bostonlately? How about nearby Chi-cago? California or Florida? Ihave. Most if not all of the ma-jor bridges are tolled. And notwith the old-fashioned Toll
Booth and Toll-Taker. No! Ev-erything is electronic now.Transponders (called EZ Pass)are standard even in rentalcars. And, except for Califor-nia, there is a ‘slow’ lane with atoll-taker and HIGHER tolls ifyour vehicle doesn’t have theEZ Pass.
“In California, forget it. NoEZ Pass? No worries! The lanecameras just snap the licenseplate and you’re billed. Halftolls for local residents? Why?Do we use the I-71/75 bridgeless or does that family drivinground-trip on their vacation orthat 80,000-pound semi goingfrom Michigan to Florida twicea week use it less?
“The interstate system wasdesigned and built with theintention of rapid interstate
transportation. There are al-ternative routes/bridges thatwill not be tolled for ‘over theriver’ workers. There are threeother bridges within a mile ofeach other to get into down-town Cincinnati or vice versa.Let the interstate travelers payfor the new bridge. We localresidents have plenty of otheralternative options. Oh, by theway, none of the other tolledbridges that I’ve been overever offered a ‘local discount.’Political proposals are just that.Political.”

Smoking is harmful toKentucky’s health.
Our state has the highestsmoking ratein the coun-try, so it fol-lows thatKentuckyalso has highrates ofhealth issuesassociatedwith tobaccouse. Nearly8,000 Ken-tuckians dieeach yearbecause of
tobacco-related diseases.Eighty-five percent of lungcancers are caused by smok-ing, and Kentucky leads thenation in lung cancer deaths.
Smoking kills more Ken-tuckians each year than alco-hol, AIDS, car crashes, illegaldrugs, murders and suicidescombined. For every person inKentucky who dies fromsmoking, about 20 more aresuffering from serious smok-ing-caused disease and dis-ability, or other tobacco-caused health problems. Ken-tucky spends $1.92 billion ayear in health care costs treat-ing smoking-related illnesses.
Numerous studies havefound that workers coveredby smoke-free policies aremore likely to quit smoking.
Smoke-free laws reducechronic health problems aswell. After Lexington passed
its law, there was a 22 percentdecline in emergency depart-ment visits, and the heartattack rate for women wentdown 23 percent.
Studies show smoke-freeenvironments can reducebusiness costs for mainte-nance expenses, insurancepremiums and labor.
Workers in smoke-freeplaces are less likely to beabsent and are more produc-tive. Right now, smoking-related illness and death costsKentucky $2.3 billion a year inlost productivity.
Closer to home, a 2009study of Ohio’s smoke-freelaw showed no economic ben-efit for bordering Kentuckycounties that continued toallow smoking. In addition,more than one in three re-spondents to a 2014 surveysaid they go to Ohio at leastsome of the time to dine atsmoke-free restaurants.
A study conducted for theNorthern Kentucky HealthDepartment found that nine in10 adults agree that second-hand smoke harms theirhealth. Further, nearly sevenin 10 Northern Kentucky vot-ers support smoke-free laws.
A smoke free law is goodfor the health and economy ofKentucky. It’s time to clearthe air.

Local teams came back emp-ty handed from the recent Ken-tucky Wrestling Coaches Asso-ciation state duals at UnionCounty. But coaches for toparea finishers were happy withmost of the results, even if theyreturned a little banged up.
Campbell County placedthird at the big-school meet, los-ing to Louisville St. Xavier, 33-30 in the semifinals. The Camels(14-3) were seeking a fourthstate duals crown and seventhappearance in the final.
Scott (14-5) lost in the pool-play round, and placed fifth atthe small-school meet.
Campbell County and Rylerepresented the local district atthe big-school event. The Raid-ers were knocked into the con-solation round following poolplay.
The Camels were looking fortheir first duals crown since2013. They also won in 1991 and2004, and placed second in 1990,1998 and 2002.
“I’m pretty happy with howwe did,” Campbell Countycoach Mike Bankemper said.“We did have an injury we’re go-ing to have to battle through.”
The Camels lost 126-poundwrestler Brad Krebs to a leftshoulder injury and had to for-feit the weight-division match,and six points, in the semifinalshowdown with St. Xavier,eventual meet winner for thesecond year in a row. CampbellCounty finished the event with a3-1 record.
Krebs, the reigning North-ern Kentucky Athletic Confer-ence champion and rankedfourth in Kentucky at 126
pounds, placed second at lastyear’s regional at 113 poundsand advanced to state. He hashis sights set on a regional title,and deep state advancementwith the goal of winning a crownbefore he graduates.
Right now, everything is onhold, according to his coach.Bankemper said Krebs suf-fered a torn labrum at the duals.The junior standout, at thispoint, is opting for post-seasonsurgery. He will attempt to re-hab the injury and make a re-turn to practice in a shoulderbrace with the hope of beinghealthy enough to repeat as re-gional champ and keep alivestate goals.
The state meet is Feb. 20-21in Lexington.
“It’s going to be tough, but hecan do it because he’s tough,”Bankemper said. “We want tomake sure about his health. Wehave a doctor, an MRI and a re-hab plan. We ordered a brace
for him, and it’ll be availableMonday.”
Scott and Newport were lo-cal representatives at the small-school meet. Newport lost inpool play. Despite injury woes,Scott coach Don Graven waspleased with the Eagles’ finishof fifth for the second straightyear. They were runner-up in1996, their best placing.
“We wrestled extremely welland showed some great tough-ness battling through injuries,”Graven said. “We handily beatBourbon County in the poolround, and then lost a nail-biteragainst Moore on a medical de-fault. We then dropped to the 5-8pool and soundly beat LaRueCounty.”
That put the Eagles againstfavored Wayne County. “Theywere the No. 2 seed to start theday with a record of 42-4,”Graven said. “And we beat themby a decent margin to earnfifth.”

Coach is upbeatabout remainder of the seasonBy Marc [email protected]
ALEXANDRIA — Patiencehas been one of the buildingblocks for this season at Bish-op Brossart High School. Thegirls basketball team graduat-ed five seniors who totaledmore than 3,000 points andknew that this year’s squadwould take some time to roundinto form.
As expected, consistencyhas been hard to come by. TheMustangs (13-11) have shownflashes of greatness, like whenthey handed Holy Cross (22-3)its only Northern Kentuckyloss of the season Jan. 6. Thatvictory came in the midst of afive-game winning streak forBrossart. The streak was fol-lowed by a split of their follow-ing six games, a microcosm ofthe Mustangs’ season.
“We knew it was going to bea season-long process with alot of growth involved,” saidhead coach Josh Feldmann.“We told our girls it is a mara-thon, not a sprint. They’restarting to click.”
When they play fourstraight quarters of their bestbasketball, the Mustangs candefeat any team in NorthernKentucky, as they proved inthe win over the Indians. Theproblem has been harnessingwhat it takes to put four solidquarters together on the samenight.
“We’re just looking for thatconsistency that veteranteams have, that we were ac-customed to last year,” Feld-mann said. “We’ve shownglimpses of being a really goodteam, then inexperience rearsits head.”
Junior post player EmilySchultz has been the team’smost consistent factor thisyear. She has been dominant
this season, averaging 18points, 10 rebounds, and threeblocks per game. After playinga major role as a sophomore,Schultz knew that her rolewould have to change this sea-son as one of the team’s few ex-perienced upperclassmen.
“We knew that we had tofind new ways to bring out thetalent in this group,” Schultzsaid. “From the beginning,we’ve been learning and build-ing as we go. We’re continuingto grow with experience.”
Junior point guard OliviaNienaber continues to im-prove in her first season start-ing at the position. She hasbeen instrumental in makingball distribution the Mustangs’strength.

NEWPORT — GeorgeStoll’s playbook is a lot dif-ferent this year.
The head coach of theNewport Central CatholicHigh School girls basket-ball team has developed aperimeter-oriented attackafter the graduation of Ni-cole Kiernan, who is nowhelping Thomas More Col-lege’s undefeated basket-ball squad.
Kiernan left as one ofthe top post players inschool history and thenleft this year’s team with-out a true post player in itsrotation.
“Last year we had a lotof sets for Nikki to get theball inside and this year isthe opposite,” Stoll said.“We have a lot of sets forthrees and ball screens.We just run a lot of differ-ent things and a lot of girlshave stepped up into dif-ferent roles. We have dif-ferent girls step up on dif-ferent nights.”
The Thoroughbredshave a 15-9 record after ahome win over Walton-Ve-rona, 66-55, Feb. 6. NCChas won four of six sincelosing 45-22 to Holy Crossin the All “A” Ninth Regiontourney, ending the team’seight-year streak of All“A” regional champion-ships. The two losses wereby two points apiece toHolmes and Simon Ken-ton, who each had one losswhen they played.
“We’ve lost to Holmesby two and Simon by two,”Stoll said. “Both of thoseare top 25 teams in thestate and Holmes is topfive and we’re playingright there with them, andthat shows our girls thatthey can compete withanybody if we come toplay. We’re so little andthey just battle every sin-gle game. I couldn’t beprouder of them.”
NCC’s guard-oriented
attack averages more thansix 3-point makes a con-test.
Junior guard AnsleyDavenport leads the teamat 14.3 points per game andhas made 37 3-pointers.She shoots 50 percentfrom inside the arc andleads the team in rebound-ing at five a contest.
Senior guard MichaelaWare averages 10 points agame and runs the offense.Senior forward Loren Zim-merman posts nine pointsagame. Senior forward Sa-rah Neace averages sixpoints a game and is one ofthe area leaders with 45 3-point makes. Freshmanguard Lexy Breen aver-ages six a game, including14 against W-V.
After a rematch withHoly Cross Feb. 11, NCCplays at St. Henry Feb. 12and at Beechwood Feb. 14,before returning home toface Mercy Feb. 18 andConner Feb. 20.

Building short memo-ries has been importantfor this team as it navi-gates the ups and downsof the season. The fewplayers with varsity ex-perience have helpedtheir teammates get usedto the pressures of com-peting and overcoming
mistakes. “We’re working on
building the underclass-men’s confidence,”Schultz said. “Everybodyhas bad games, but youhave to put those badplays or games behindyou and keep playing.”

COVINGTON — The1939 Carr Brothers fast-pitch champion softballteam, which won theworld championship, ismemorialized in one ofthe murals on the Coving-ton flood wall.
With Bill Cappel, a de-ceased Covington ath-lete, war veteran and phi-lanthropist as one of themembers, the team wasalso honored in an exhibitat the Behringer-Craw-ford Museum in 2003. Aglove that Cappel usedthat year drew a lot of at-tention.
“Every time we dis-play that kids are thrilledto death because it’s solittle and they can’t be-lieve people would playwith a glove like thatcompared to how bigthey are today,” said JoeBrennan, president ofthe Northern KentuckySports Hall of Fame.
The museum, locatedin Devou Park, has host-ed five such exhibits inthe past decade honoringthe history of NorthernKentucky Sports, but hashad to return all thatmemorabilia to Brennanand the artifacts’ ownersonce the exhibit is over.
No more, as the mu-
seum recently expandedits storage space and willbe able to keep moresports memorabilia us-ing its professionallytrained methods of pre-serving old items. Themuseum and hall of famereached a partnershipagreement that took ef-fect Jan. 1.
“The museum neverhad room to keep impor-tant displays,” Brennansaid. “We never couldkeep anything becausewe didn’t have a facilityand the museum didn’t
have space. A lot of peo-ple have uniforms in acloset. The museum willkeep everything in stor-age the proper way so itwon’t deteriorate.”
Over the years, the ex-hibits have honored ev-eryone from well-knownlocal legends such as JimBunning and Shaun Alex-ander to unheralded su-perstars such as Cappeland Pat Scott, a formerprofessional women’sbaseball player whoplayed in the sameleague featured in the
movie “A League ofTheir Own.”
Under the new agree-ment, people can offerartifacts to the museum,which can decide what toaccept, and donations aretax-deductible.
“We don’t have any-thing to remind people ofthose teams,” Brennansaid. “If we don’t collectanything form that stuff,it will disappear. Thegood thing is they have togive it to the museumpermanently. The mu-seum would have to in-sure it and get it in stor-age.”
He said the option canbe crucial for schools,who have countless tro-phies and team picturesof their high schoolteams and are oftenfaced with the choice todispose of them.
Brennan said the hallof fame is also endeavor-ing to update bios on all ofits inductees. More infor-mation is available at thehall’s web site at https://sites.google.com/ site/nkysportshalloffame/.

Phone scam seeksfunds for fallenpolice officers
The Kentucky State Po-lice is advising all citizensto beware of phone scamsrequesting financial dona-tions for fallen police offi-cers.
KSP Post 16 in Hender-son has documented anumber of people who re-ported receiving callsfrom someone who stateshe is with KSP or anotherpolice professional fund-raiser. His goal is to try toobtain donations (creditor bank card information)for fallen officers whohave died in the line of du-ty. When asked for moreinformation about his au-thenticity, he hangs-up.
Complainants advise thecaller may identify him-self as “Rick” and callsfrom a 270 area code.
The investigation is inits early stages, but thisnumber is likely a Skypeaccount originating over-seas. KSP does not andwill not ask anyone forany banking or personalinformation. (AlthoughKSP is currently involvedin raising funds for a fall-en trooper memorial, itdoes not engage in coldcall telemarketing activ-ities.)
KSP recommendstreating every solicitationcall as a scam until provenotherwise. The best andproper way to determinethe legitimacy of a chari-table organization is tocheck with the KentuckyAttorney General’s officeby calling 502-696-5300 orvisiting their website at:ag.ky.gov. By law, everycharitable organizationmust be registered withthe AG’s office.
Scams come in variousforms and are alwaysevolving into newer areas.KSP offers the followingtip-offs to help avoidphone scams: High pres-sure sales or frequentcalls, immediate decision/action required (you mustact now with no time to de-cide or research for thatmatter), requests a creditor debit card or any bank-ing account information,offers to send someone toyour home or to overnightsomething, offers some-thing for free, is unre-sponsive to questions ortoo quick to answer bycutting you off, offers aninvestment without a risk,not registered with the At-torney General’s Office.

from 2013 to 2014, and thefourth center maintainedits coverage rate of 99 per-cent.
The annual 2-year-oldimmunization audit is con-ducted by the KentuckyImmunization Program.For 2014, the Grant Coun-ty Health Center in Wil-liamstown had a rate of 99percent, followed by theCampbell County HealthCenter in Newport with arate of 98 percent, theBoone County Health Cen-ter in Florence with 97percent and the Kenton
County Health Center inCovington with 95 per-cent.
In comparison, Ken-tucky’s statewide immuni-zation rate is 78 percentand the national rate is 73percent. The health de-partment’s four countyhealth centers were allabove 90 percent – thebenchmark set by thestate and federal govern-ment.

Question: This year, Iwant to grow my ownflower and vegetabletransplants from seed.When should I start, andwhat kind of lighting willI need?
Answer: Within thenext couple of weeks,you can start seeds in-doors for the cool-seasonflowers that will toleratelight frost, and cold-hardy perennial flowers,since all these can be setoutside in late April.
Use a soil-less seedstarting mix containingpeat moss, perlite, andvermiculite, and keepthe fluorescent lights onfor 12-18 hours per day,keeping them suspendedjust 5-10 inches abovethe growing seedlings.
The first flower seedsplanted indoors shouldinclude Pansies, Dian-thus (Carnations, Pinks,and Sweet William),Armeria (Sea Pink, SeaThrift), Coneflower(Echinacea), Delphinium(Larkspur), Goat’s Beard(Aruncus), Red Hot Po-ker (Kniphofia), Lamb’sEar (Stachys), Monarda(Bee Balm), Ox Eye Dai-sy (Heliopsis), ObedientPlant (Physostegia),Shasta Daisy (Leucan-themum), Veronica(Speedwell), Viola (John-ny Jump-Ups), and Yar-row (Achillea).
Keep in mind thatmany perennials willproduce leaves but notflowers the first year,
but if youget theright culti-var andplant itearly, itmay goahead andbloom thisyear. Manyof theseseeds areavailable
from local garden storesand nurseries. Alwayscheck there first.
For your vegetablegarden, in early Febru-ary, you can start seedsindoors for onions andBrussels sprouts. Goodonion varieties for thisarea include Copra (stor-age), Red Candy Apple,Siera Blanca, Candy,Burgermeister (largered), Red Bull (red),Sweet Sandwich, Parade(bunching), and Ever-green White Bunching.The best Brusselssprouts for this area areJade Cross Hybrid andDimitri.
Wait three moreweeks before startingseeds indoors for brocco-li, cabbage, cauliflower,kohlrabi, lettuce, andChinese cabbage. Thesewill be transplantedoutdoors in late Marchand early April.
The best broccolivarieties for a springcrop in Northern Ken-tucky would be Emperor,Green Magic, Bellstar,Marathon, and Roma-
nesco. Best cabbagesinclude Heads Up, Farao(early), Caraflex (point-ed mini), Dynamo (smallhead), Famosa (Savoy),Blue Vantage, King Cole(6-8 head), Bronco, SuperRed 80, Ramada, andBravo.
If you like leaf let-tuce, try varieties suchas Grand Rapids, Black-Seeded Simpson, SaladBowl, Royal Oak Leaf,Green Star, or Red Sails(red). Best Butterheadlettuce varieties includeAmish Deer Tongue,Nancy, and Butter-crunch. If you like Ro-maine lettuce, youshould try Green Towersand Coastal Star. A goodsummer crisp head typeis Nevada (heat tolerant).
If you have a cold-frame, you can startplanting the seeds ofmany of these cool-sea-son flowers and vegeta-bles in there in late Feb-ruary. If you don’t have acoldframe, wait untilearly to mid-March tostart planting outside. Bymid-March, you shouldbe planting seeds ofspinach, mustard, beets,peas, and snow peasdirectly into your out-door garden, especiallyif you have raised beds,which tend to warm fast-er than the level ground.

shows just how vital im-munizations are to pro-tecting our communitiesfrom infectious diseases,”said Jennifer Hunter, di-rector of clinical services.“Immunizations are safe,effective and can save achild’s life. That’s why en-suring that all NorthernKentucky children are im-munized is so important toour staff – and why wecontinually strive to im-prove our immunizationrates, with a goal of reach-ing 100 percent cover-age.”
The vaccine coveragerates track seven child-hood immunizations, witha total of 19 doses, recom-mended for children byage 18 months. The audit
checks for compliance at24 months, giving familiesa six-month cushionshould the child need to becaught up. It includes:
» Four doses of diph-theria, tetanus and pertus-sis
» Three doses of polio» One dose of measles,
mumps and rubella» Three doses of Hae-
mophilus influenzae typeb (Hib)
» Three doses of Hepa-titis B
» One dose of Varicella(chickenpox)
» Four doses of pneu-mococcal
“Even as our servicemodel adapts in responseto the changes broughtabout by the AffordableCare Act, immunizationscontinue to be a core func-tion of public health,” saidLynne M. Saddler, districtdirector of health. “Re-
cent outbreaks in otherstates of vaccine-prevent-able diseases, like mea-sles and mumps, rein-force how important it isto achieve high immuniza-tion rates, and increaseimmunity throughout ourcommunity.”
The health departmentprovides more than 6,000childhood vaccinationsannually. It offers vacci-nations for 15 childhooddiseases at its four countyhealth centers on a dailybasis. Through the federalVaccines for Children pro-gram, many vaccines areavailable to children age18 years and under whowould not otherwise bevaccinated because of in-ability to pay.

At about the time whenthe winter boat show sea-son starts to crank up, theannual fishing forecastfor Kentucky’s majorfisheries arrives as anoth-er welcome diversionfrom the winter dol-drums.
Produced by the Ken-tucky Department of Fishand Wildlife Resources,it’s a valuable resourcefor anglers who want to bein the know and planahead. The forecast isavailable online at fw.ky-.gov.
The 2015 edition high-lights new and expandingfisheries and late winterand early spring hot spots.A special section makes iteasy to identify where thebest fishing can be ex-pected for each specieswhile the new up-and-comers section spotlightslakes and rivers thatshowed improvement lastyear. For instance: theforecast for crappie hasimproved from good toexcellent at Lake Cumber-land, Cave Run and Fish-trap lakes in 2015.
Here are a few otherfisheries-related items tofollow in 2015.
» Hatchery Creek res-toration: Anglers knowthe Cumberland River be-low Wolf Creek Dam as aworld-class trout fishery.An improved HatcheryCreek will be another rea-son to visit the area.
Fed by the outflowfrom Wolf Creek NationalFish Hatchery, located atthe base of the dam, thecreek is being trans-formed through a projectundertaken by KentuckyFish and Wildlife, the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Serviceand the U.S. Army Corpsof Engineers.
It includes construc-tion of a new channel to di-vert the creek away froma heavily-eroded ravinethat deposits sedimentinto the Cumberland Riv-
er below Lake Cumber-land. The new channel willmeander for more than amile below the upper rip-rap area of the creekthrough riffles and poolsbefore emptying into theriver. One of the goals is tocreate stream conditionsthat foster natural repro-duction of trout.
Construction began inAugust.
“I would say we’re do-ing very well and makinggood progress,” said MikeHardin, assistant fisher-ies director for KentuckyFish and Wildlife. “Ideal-ly, we’ll finish up most ofthe work by spring orsummer and hopefullyhave enough of a growingseason that we can letsome vegetation get es-tablished and grow to sta-bilize the site before turn-ing water loose in it.”
Stocking will be depen-dent upon the natural mi-gration of trout from theriver into the new creekfrom the time the projectis completed to the timethe new channel opens tothe public.
» Improving fish hab-itat at Cave Run: The pro-ject to improve fishing atCave Run Lake by in-creasing the amount ofhabitat available for fishwill see two more areascompleted by the summerof 2015. Much of the workwill be similar to this pastyear with cedar trees, ca-ble spools, stake bucketsand other structure beingplaced in the water to at-tract fish.
“We also have a fewnew things includinglarge concrete culvertsand hardwood stumps,”said Tom Timmermann,northeastern fisheriesdistrict biologist withKentucky Fish and Wild-life. “We really hope to in-crease the size of the ma-terials we’re using nowthat we know some of thelimitations of the habitat
barge and our crews.”The first phase of the
large-scale habitat pro-ject created two nearlymile-long reefs from Ston-ey Cove near the dam toAdam’s Point and in theClay Lick area in 2014.
Scott’s Creek, WarixRun and Zilpo Flats arepotential sites for the 2015work, which will improveanother roughly two milesof shoreline. Project lead-ers will take angler pref-erence into considerationbefore making a final de-cision.
More informationabout the Cave Run Lakehabitat project, includinga map that includes GPScoordinates for fish at-tracting structures, isavailable on the KentuckyFish and Wildlife website.
» New mentoringprogram: Learning to fishcan be an intimidating andfrustrating experiencewhen you have little or noexperience, and no one tocoach you along. A newmentoring program de-veloped by Kentucky Fishand Wildlife will strive tohelp accelerate the learn-ing curve.
The Angler’s Legacyprogram is slated tolaunch this spring and willbe geared toward peopleages 16 and older with lim-ited or no previous fishingexperience. Skill-buildingcourses will range frombasic to complex. Infor-mation about the programwill be available online atfw.ky.gov.
“Our hope is that thosewho participate will gainthe technical skills andconfidence to adopt a life-long fishing tradition,”said John Gutzeit, aquat-ics education administra-tor for Kentucky Fish andWildlife. “In the longterm, the goal of the pro-gram is to develop into aself-sustaining mentorprogram for new an-glers.”
Forecast for 2015 calls for fishing

A big change is comingto Senior Services ofNorthern Kentucky, andits name is customer ser-vice.
The agency providesvital services for seniorsin the eight counties ofNorthern Kentucky, andaccessing those servicesis getting easier, accord-ing to a SSNK press re-lease. SSNK has a newmanagement team focus-ing on “logistics” – mak-ing sure SSNK’s servicesreach the clients as effi-ciently as possible – andthe agency is adding staffand resources to themeals and transportationprograms.
“We’re putting in newsoftware to track appoint-ments and clients,” saidAndrew Stelter, SSNK di-rector of logistics. An ad-ditional dispatcher hasbeen hired and new trans-portation vans are beingadded. SSNK will eventu-ally have more than 50 ve-hicles to deliver mealsand transport seniors.
An immediate benefitto clients is a shorter waittime to get an appoint-ment for transportation.Previously, clients were
encouraged to make anappointment three weeksin advance; now appoint-ments can be made threedays before needed. Newsoftware also better coor-dinates the van routeswith client needs, so sen-iors will have less time towait for a ride.
“We’re getting awayfrom paper and embrac-ing the technology of to-day,” said logistics super-visor Paul DiMuzio.“We’re improving proce-dures to make our ser-vices more efficient.”
Along with the spar-kling new vans, there isstandardized training forSSNK’s meals and trans-portation drivers, as wellas new photo namebadges.
Mandy York, SSNK’stransportation and foodservices manager, saidthe emphasis is continu-ing to treat all SSNK cli-ents with dignity and pro-fessionalism while en-hancing services. That in-cludes ensuring that thesenior meals recipientsare checked on regularly.
“Our Home DeliveredMeal program is really awellness check for our cli-
ents,” she said. “That’sone of the most criticalthings. We are ensuringthe well-being of seniors.”
York is responsible forensuring the quality of themeals SSNK provides,and is working on ways tomake meal selection easi-er and provide more me-nu choices. She is enhanc-ing the payment processand plans to expand thenumber of SSNK’s mealsclients.
As with transportation,the main emphasis withMeals on Wheels is im-proving customer service
and streamlining opera-tions.
The focus on customerservice is the center of ex-ecutive director Jay VanWinkle’s new vision forSSNK. An excellent “cli-ent experience” is themost important servicethat SSNK offers, and hewants to make that a dailymission for the agency.
Another new emphasisfor the agency is the ex-pansion of SSNK’s volun-teer program, to allow forgreater community in-volvement in fulfilling theagency’s mission. Volun-teers are needed to help ina variety of jobs: Meals onWheels and Transporta-tion drivers, office help,and working in the Sen-iors-Only food pantry.
“This is an excitingtime for Senior Services,”said Van Winkle. “There’sa refreshed feeling for thewhole organization.”
