Parents getting their stu-dents to opt out of CommonCore tests is unheard of inNorthern Kentucky school dis-tricts and forbidden by stateeducation officials.

Kentucky was the first U.S.state to adopt Common Core in2010. Kentucky Education Com-missioner Terry Holliday, uponhearing about public calls forparents to file an opt-out fortheir child from Common Core,

sent a letter to all schooldistricts in April 2014.

“In Kentucky, districts areunder no obligation to honor aparent’s request to ‘opt out’ ofthe Common Core State Stan-dards, curriculum or testing,”Holliday wrote in his letter.

A March 10 Enquirer articledetailed how parents are optingout of Common Core in Ohio.

A check of Northern Ken-tucky school districts told a dif-ferent story. The CommunityRecorder asked officials if par-

ents and students are seeking toavoid Common Core tests. Theanswer was no. Not so fast, saysTerry Donoghue of Kentuck-ians Against Common Core.

Kentucky is not the onlystate with a policy forbidding anopt-out of Common Core, butparents’ constitutional rights al-low them to do what is right fortheir children, Donoghue said.

“They have no right to stopthat,” he said.

A national United Opt Outwebsite available at

bit.ly/1Dt70v5 gives parentsguidance to file a civil rightscomplaint against a principal oradministrator for stopping anparent’s opt-out request, theHebron resident said.

Boone County Schools hasreceived zero requests to optout of testing, and if Boone offi-cials received such requests,they would not be granted.

FLORENCE — Kentucky’sfirst lady Jane Beshear visitedOckerman Elementary todayalong with one of the stars of thebook “Sam Saves the Mansion,”Kentucky’s “first dog,” Tory.

Ockerman Elementary wasBeshear’s first stop during theweeklong Kentucky LiteracyCelebration as she visitsschools and literacy centersacross the state to promotereading and learn about com-munity literacy programs. Shealso visited Conner MiddleSchool in Hebron.

For more information aboutthe Kentucky Literacy Celebra-tion, visit bit.ly/1NZTKkS.

Beshear was greeted byBoone County SuperintendentRandy Poe, Ockerman Princi-pal Kim Best and Vice PrincipalChris Ritzi.

Before she read the book tothe students of Helen Marie Po-weleit’s second-grade class, Be-shear said she enjoys meetingstudents cross the state.

“My very favorite thing is tocome visit you,” she said. “Thewonderful thing about reading

is that it helps us learn things,go places and meet people youwouldn’t in any other way.”

Beshear said many peoplemay want to meet political lead-ers or sports stars, but few peo-ple get that opportunity. How-ever, anyone can read aboutthose people and get to knowthem that way.

“Will you promise to readmore and more and more?” sheasked. “The governor and I arealways reading.”

While Beshear, a formerteacher, read the book to theclass, Tory rested on the class-room’s tile floor, the Jack Rus-sell terrier jumped to attentionwhen her name came up in thestory. After reading the book,Beshear talked to students

while they petted Tory. Beshear noted that Tory’s

full name is Victory, and shewas born around the time SteveBeshear was elected governorof Kentucky in 2007. She saidTory comes to greet childrenwho tour the mansion, “particu-larly when they have cookies.”

The book includes manyfacts about the governor’s man-sion in Frankfort as told by To-ry, as she shows another dognamed Sam around the officialresidence. The book’s publica-tion celebrated the mansion’scentennial anniversary.

Other officials attended Be-shear’s visit, including KeithLyons, who oversees market-

INDEPENDENCE — Resi-dents, property owners andtravelers who use Ky. 536 areinvited to share their com-ments and concerns about thecorridor’s future constructionduring an open house from 4-7p.m. Tuesday, March 24, at Si-mon Kenton High School,11132 Madison Pike.

The Ohio-Kentucky-Indi-ana Regional Council of Gov-ernments planned the event asfirst in a series of three meet-ings to start OKI’s Ky. 536Scoping Study, which willidentify changes needed to im-prove safety.

“Safety is the foremost con-cern,” said Kenton CountyJudge-executive Kris Kno-chelmann, who also serves assecond vice president of theOKI board of directors andproject development teamchair for the study.

“This stretch of road hasone of the region’s highestcrash rates – more than threetimes the statewide average. Italso has drastic elevationchanges and poor sight lineswhich can make travelthrough the area challengingand hazardous to drivers, par-ticularly in poor weather,”Knochelmann said. “It’s ourobligation to identify improve-ments that will ensure a con-tinuous, efficient and safe flowof traffic across the Ky. 536corridor.”

The highway is regionally

recognized as a critical road-way to improve access, mobil-ity and economic vitalitythrough Northern Kentucky.Improvements have alreadybeen identified for most of theroadway and work is in vary-ing stages of planning, designand implementation.

However, improvementshave not yet been determinedfor the portion that extends be-tween Ky. 17, or Madison Pike,in Independence and theCampbell County line.

This 6.5-mile segment ofKy. 536 is the only remainingsection of the entire corridorthat does not have a preferredalternative or improvementplan in place.

This segment was left untillast because of its fragmentedconnections, drastic elevationchanges, poor sight lines,broad range of environmentalfactors, and, most importantly,extremely high crash rates,according to Robyn Bancroft,the scoping study’s projectmanager.

As the study progresses, in-formation will be posted onOKI’s website,www.oki.org/536.

For more information con-tact Bancroft [email protected] or 513-619-7662. If participants requireassistance or translation ser-vices, they should call Flor-ence Parker at 513-619-7686 or800-750-0750.

UNION — After 18months of bureaucraticand legal wrangling, thepath to a new Union Krog-er Marketplace could becleared.

Today, Circuit CourtJudge Gregory Bartlett’sdecision was delivered toUnion City AttorneyGreg Voss, who said theMarch 13 decision up-holds the city’s April 2014approval to rezone 35acres of land near the in-tersection of U.S. 42 andBraxton Drive fromneighborhood office tocommercial planned de-velopment. The zoningchange would allow a newKroger Marketplacestore to be built.

Voss said the plaintiff,Union Concerned Citi-zens, has 30 days to ap-peal the decision.

Todd McMurtry, rep-

resentative for UnionConcerned Citizens, didnot return a call for com-ment.

Plans for the newKroger at the southeastside of U.S. 42 at the inter-section with BraxtonDrive call for a 135,976-square-foot Kroger Mar-ketplace, an 8,000-square-foot liquor store,a fuel center and 730parking spaces.

The new store wouldbe west of Kroger’s exist-ing 66,000-square-footstore.

Kroger did not re-spond to requests aboutthe company’s futureplans.

“From a city of Unionstandpoint, we’re happythe decision was upheld.They confirmed the au-thority lies with the city,”said Mayor Larry Solo-mon.

“The court basicallyvalidated what the previ-

ous commission had doneby approving it,” saidCity Administrator DavidMartin.

“It’s pretty clear thatthe City Commission isthe final arbiter of whatthey do with their proper-ty, and not the PlanningCommission, who workson our behalf,” said Voss.

City CommissionerKen Heil, first elected in2012, said he was one ofthe original votes in favorof the zoning change.

“I was always in favorof listening to Kroger’sproposal,” said Heil. “It’shard to ignore when a ma-jor corporate entitywants to do something. Tonot listen to them wouldbe a very bad message tothe overall business com-munity.”

Actual constructionmay still take some time,according to Heil.

“The other side stillhas an opportunity to

challenge the decision. It’stheir right to do that,” hesaid. “There may not be anyprogress immediately, andpeople may ask why theyaren’t doing anything upthere, but they’ll probablywait until the opportunityto challenge it has passed.”

According to Heil, partof the reason the zonechange was recommendedfor denial was because therequest doesn’t follow therequirements of the UnionTown Plan, which was de-veloped in the 1990s andwas approved in 2000.

“Back then, the econo-my was booming. Every-thing seemed possible,” hesaid. “Between then, whenthe Union Town Plan wasconceived, and now, thingshave changed quite a bit. Ithink the community atlarge understands that.The request that Krogermade was reasonable.”

Bartlett’s decision in-cludes similar information

and says the city has un-dergone “majorchanges of an economic,physical and social na-ture not anticipated un-der the ComprehensivePlan when it was adopt-ed which substantiallyalters the area’s charac-ter.”

The decision statesthe city’s population is“expected to exceed33,000 by 2020,” whichwould “increase the de-mand for basic needs,including groceries.”

The 2013 U.S. Censusestimates Union’s popu-lation at 5,650.

The initial zoningmap amendment wasrequested in September2013, soon followed byconcerned residentsspeaking out at the Oc-tober 2014 City Commis-sion meeting. When theBoone County PlanningCommission consideredthe zone change in De-cember 2013 and unani-mously voted to denythe change in February2014.

ing, communications andpromotions for the Collab-orative Center for Litera-cy Development in Lex-ington. The center hasbeen one of Beshear’spartners in the KentuckyLiteracy Celebration forthe past five years.

Lyons said the centerthey proposed a one-dayliteracy celebration, andBeshear decided to ex-tend the event for one fullweek and to actively par-ticipate and lead a touraround the state.

“The greatest successof the Kentucky LiteracyCelebration is the factthat we’re getting to go allover the state and recog-nize the diversity of Ken-tucky. It’s a very diversestate,” he said. “We’re get-ting to see all of the greatplaces in Kentucky and letthem know that we’re ontop in a lot of different lit-eracy areas now, which isvery different than how itwas five years ago. Wewere at the bottom of a lotof literacy and readinglists, but that haschanged.”

Lyons said communi-ties and businesses areencouraged to sponsor ac-tivities that bring aware-ness to literacy issues andtheir relevance to work-force, economic and cul-tural prosperity.

UNION — AndrewRauen’s goal is to paint theworld with his success.

At least, the NorthernKentucky University ju-nior wants to paint thehomes of Union.

Rauen, 21, who grew upin Union and is a 2011Cooper High School grad-uate, is starting a newbranch of Student Paint-ers, a national organiza-tion that has helped youngentrepreneurs get realbusiness experience formore than 30 years.

The entrepreneurshipmajor said he wanted thereal-world experience ofrunning his own businessto go along with the bookknowledge he is learningat school.

“My goal is to open abusiness in Northern Ken-tucky,” he said. “I like theidea of making my ownschedule and doing things

when I want to do them in-stead of when someoneelse wants me to.”

So far, his work has in-cluded dropping fliers,knocking on doors andconducting estimates forexterior painting, but theactual painting work will

any area can be found on-line at bit.ly/1wEjlKo orby calling 1-888-839-3385.

Rauen attended train-ing at Student Paintersheadquarters in Michiganto learn proper paintingtechniques. The programpartners with Sherwin

Williams whose productsare used exclusivelythroughout the program.

As a branch manager,he will make all the deci-sions for his own compa-ny, hiring other collegestudents to help him com-plete painting projects.

“I’ve heard it’s the re-alest internship you’llever have,” he said.

Rauen’s mentor withinthe company is RyanShepherd, 24, who workedas a branch manager forStudent Painters beforebecoming a mentor fouryears ago.

As an executive dis-trict manager, Shepherdoversees 70 branch man-agers throughout Ohioand Kentucky and servesas a mentor for seven oth-er first-year branch man-agers.

“Basically it’s a pro-gram that helps collegestudents get leadershipexperience by managinga business, but they getthe support and market-

ing materials from a com-pany that has been in busi-ness for three decades.They also get a mentorwho has run this businessbefore,” he said.

Shepherd graduatedfrom the University ofDayton with a politicalscience degree, but saidhe felt like he owed theprogram and he also justreally liked it.

“Honestly, I really en-joy working with collegestudents, but I wanted togive back to the programbecause it opened up a lotof doors for me. I had mypick of where I wanted towork when I graduated,”he said. “The programisn’t for every college stu-dent. It’s one of the hard-est internships you canhave, because you’re ac-tually running a businessand not taking coffee tosomeone who doesn’teven know your name.”

In a bid to spotlight creative programs,Northern Kentucky University is com-bining three departments – theater anddance, visual arts, and music – into a newSchool of Art.

NKU officials hope the move will leadto a higher profile and more opportunitiesfor students to learn from other relateddisciplines. NKU officials don’t expectthe restructuring to cut jobs.

“Current and future NKU studentswill be exposed to various areas of thearts, work with a wide range of facultymembers, and have more programmingoptions to choose from in the future,” saidKatherine Frank, dean of the NKU Col-lege of Arts and Sciences, which will beover the new school.

Besides Arts and Sciences, NKU ismade up of five other colleges: theSalmon P. Chase College of Law; theHaile/US Bank College of Business; theCollege of Education and Human Ser-vices; the College of Health Professionsand the College of Informatics.

Frank said arts faculty have wanted toestablish a separate college at NKU, butestablishing a school within Arts and Sci-ences has many of the same advantages.The new school creates a centralizedmodel headed by a school director who

will work with faculty leaders who willhelp direct and manage curricular issues,day-to-day operations, and accreditation.

“We will be able to dissolve depart-mental boundaries, improve communica-tion and collaboration within the school,the college, and the university, and en-courage innovative thinking aroundcourse design, faculty hiring, and mar-keting and communications,” Frank said.

NKU President Geoffrey Mearns saidthe School of the Arts will be a showcasefor the programs.

“Our arts faculty is leading with excel-lence – already collaborating with theircolleagues in other NKU colleges to de-velop and enhance programs that willmake a lasting impact,” Mearns said.

My favorite cookie sheet isdecades old. It cost a lot lessthan my restaurant quality

sheets which Ibought yearslater. When I usethat old cookiesheet, I findmyself smiling,rememberingwhen my boyswere little andhow they shapedcookie doughinto worms,tanks and bugsto bake on it.

That’s a piece of equipmentwith a history.

Whenever I have a speakingengagement about food orfamily, I like to ask partici-

pants what their most trea-sured kitchen item is. It seemslike just about everybody has afavorite utensil, pot, or gadget.“Mine is my mother’s sifter,”one lady said. Another men-tioned rolling pans from grand-ma. One young person I men-tored treasured his dad’sapron: “He wore that apronevery time he cooked dinner onthe grill. Now I wear it,” hesaid.

So don’t get rid of that well-loved kitchen item when youreplace it with new. Pass itdown to keep the traditions andmemories going.

Mike, a Clermont Countyreader, needs a recipe fordairy-free rolls that are suit-able for diabetics. Here’s a

good one. I baked these on myold cookie sheet and theyturned out just fine.

Can you help?Great Scott’s chowder:

Trish M. remembers this chow-der fondly. “Great Scott restau-rant made the best potato, cornand jalapeno chowder. I'vetried to duplicate it but it's justnot the same. I know they haveclosed but is there any chanceyou can get the recipe? It wasone of our families favorites.”

These plump dinner rolls are dairy and egg free.

Dairy free, egg free dinner rolls

Powdered creamer is used by more than a few bakers to achieve anice tasting, dairy-free dinner roll. I was surprised myself at how wellthese turned out. They tasted as good as my higher fat rolls. Nice along-side that Easter ham. These freeze well after baking.

Diabetic exchange: The diabetic exchange is 1-1/2 starch, 1/2 fat foreach roll. You can make these by hand or machine.

1 tablespoon rapid rise yeast plus a couple pinches sugar2-1/4 cups warm water (110-115 degrees)1/3 cup sugar1/3 shortening1/4 cup powdered nondairy creamer2-1/4 teaspoons salt5-6 cups bread flour

Preheat oven to 350. Dissolve yeast and pinches of sugar in warmwater. In a mixing bowl, add sugar, shortening, creamer, salt and 5 cupsflour. Add yeast and mix well on low speed. Turn to medium and beatuntil smooth. Add more flour if necessary to make a soft, but stickydough. Either knead it for 6-8 minutes by machine or by hand. If doingby hand, turn out on floured surface. Knead until smooth, like a baby’sbottom.

Place in bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coat top.Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch down and turn outonto lightly floured surface; divide into 18-24 pieces. Shape each pieceinto a roll. Place 2 inches apart on sprayed baking sheets. Cover and letrise until doubled, 30-45 minutes. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until lightgolden brown.

Fruited chicken salad from Lazarus

I have a file of department store restaurant recipes. As happensoccasionally, someone stopped me at the grocery and asked if I had arecipe for this particular one. Anyway, here’s the recipe with my sidenotes, from the Columbus store, I believe.

SaladMix together:

4 cups cooked chicken, cubed or chunked up8 oz. diced dates1 cup diced pineapple -- drained1 cup diced celery1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted if you want

DressingWhisk together:

2 cups Miracle Whip salad dressing1 teaspoon sugar1/4 cup evaporated milk2 tablespoons lemon juiceJuice from pineapple -- as needed

Pour dressing over salad and toss gently. This would be nice servedatop a lettuce leaf.

Diabetics can enjoy dinner rolls, too

A publication of

Absurdity at its bestMr. Bruce Healey’s col-

umn was certainly enter-taining but fairly tunnelvisioned. Based on his con-clusion that the CVG boardshould include Ohio be-cause of the contribution inriders that the state makesto CVG, should then allowKentucky to have boardmembers on the city ofCincinnati, Hamilton Coun-ty and other municipalities’zoning, commissions andother public boards, sincethere is a substantial num-ber of businesses in Ohiothat are owned by Ken-tucky residences or enti-ties.

Protecting what we haveis not myopic.

Lastly, his conclusionregarding “The fairestway” to pay for the upgradeof the Brent Spence bridge“is a toll system.” “Anyother general tax wouldmake the little old ladyliving in Delhi who willnever go further thandowntown, pay somethingshe doesn’t use, That wouldbe truly unfair.” Well, Mr.Hailey, I submit to you thatI haven’t had children in

school for close to 20 years,I’m not using it, so accord-ing to your observation, Ishould not have to pay forit! Let those with childrenin school be the only onesthat need to “contribute”via a tuition instead of theproperty taxes assessed toresidents.

There was a $800 billion“stimulus package’’ thatcouldn’t find 2 billion forthis work that would haveprovided excellent jobs,required vast amounts ofraw materials and a pleth-ora of equipment. It wouldhave taken a monumentaleffort to have it “shovelready” in six months, but itwas doable for both Ken-tucky and Ohio. I wouldhave gladly let the boys inWashington spend $10 mil-lion to $20 million to put12-20 engineers and archi-tects on that one project topull it together.

I do wonder, just howmuch does an Indian Hillresident actually use theBrent Spence bridge to goNorth, South, East andWest? Just wondering.

The gavel dropped shortlybefore midnight on Wednesday,March 11, recessing us untilMarch 23 for the veto period ofthe 2015 regular session. Andwith only two days left to gountil the session ends, severalmajor issues remain unre-solved.

First and foremost compre-hensive legislation dealing withthe heroin issue has yet to re-ceive final passage in the Gen-eral Assembly. At the 11th houra bill was passed in a Housecommittee and sent to the Sen-ate in order to officially estab-lish a conference committee inan attempt to reach an agree-ment.

What is so troubling abouthow the heroin issue has beenhandled in the House is why wecouldn’t have begun discussionsmuch earlier in the session. TheSenate passed out their compre-hensive heroin legislation, Sen-ate Bill 5, during the first weekof the session back in January,yet the House Democrat Lead-ership chooses to do nothing inan effort to set up a conferencecommittee until the last minute.

House Democrat leadershippulled the same last-minutepartisan tactics with heroinlegislation during the 2014 reg-ular session, and we failed topass a bill. Their politicalgamesmanship could have pre-vented the more than 100 heroinrelated deaths in 2014, not in-cluding the scores of heroinrelated overdoses in Kentucky.

Northern Kentucky has beenon the front lines in the fight topass comprehensive legislation

to address theheroin issue.Every day theheadlines arefilled with sto-ries about theimpact heroin ishaving on Ken-tucky, as fam-ilies deal withthe scourge ofaddition impact-ing loved ones.While it is my

sincere hope the conferencecommittee will work over thenext few days on a compromisebill, it shouldn’t have gotten tothis point and instead couldhave been addressed muchearlier in the session.

Another remaining issue leftunresolved is how to addressthe impact on local and stateroad funds due to the fluctua-tion in the gas tax. The HouseDemocratic leadership keptpassing the buck onto the Sen-ate to begin discussions. Weattempted to address the issuewith House Bill 513, whichsought to allow the state portionof the gas tax to decrease whileprotecting those funds madeavailable to local governmentsfor road and bridge projects. Itis essential that the dollars re-main for our counties and citiesto provide safe highways andbridges, but at the same timeallow Kentuckians to keep moremoney in their pockets due tolower gas prices. Hopefully wecan reach a resolution on thisissue before midnight on March24.

Among the bills that are dead

for this session, which meansthere is not enough time re-maining to take them up, in-cludes the local option sales taxbill, public-private partner-ships, or P3 legislation, and apush for a statewide smokingban in Kentucky.

We were able to get somebills passed this past week be-fore adjourning for the vetosession, including an amend-ment to a House bill that willonce again allow local schooldistricts to seek relief from thenumber of days missed due tothe severe winter weather overthe past four weeks. Like lastyear, snow and ice have playedhavoc with the school calendarin many local districts, which iswhy we once again approvedlegislation that allows thosedistricts to seek relief from theKentucky Department of Edu-cation.

As I mentioned we will gath-er back in Frankfort on Monday,March 23, to take up remaininglegislation, and address anybills vetoed by the governor. Wewill have until midnight March24 to accomplish that goal.

In addition to the issues Imentioned, there could be ideasand concerns important to youthat need to be addressed in thefinal days of the 2015 RegularSession. I encourage you tocontact me by e-mail at [email protected], or call our tollfree number at 1-800-372-7181.

When someone talks aboutveterans, what is the image inyour mind? An elderly manreminiscing about World WarII?

A middle-aged man findingthe name of a comrade on theVietnam Veterans Memorial?

A young man recoveringfrom wounds incurred in Iraq?

How about women doing allof that and more?

That is the image the Ken-tucky Department of VeteransAffairs will promote in 2015, theYear of the Woman Veteran.

There are 33,000 womenveterans in Kentucky, nearly 10percent of the total veteranpopulation.

They are veterans of everyconflict and peacetime militaryeffort of the United States sincebefore World War II.

They are of every race, ev-

ery religion,every socio-economic back-ground andevery life expe-rience.

Women flycombat air-craft, serve oncombat ships,guard convoys,and serve asmilitary police,intelligence,

civil affairs, signal, and medicaltroops.

Female service members areexpected to face the same risksas their male counterparts intoday’s military operations.

They are also far less likelythan their male counterpoints toseek and receive the veteransbenefits and services they haveearned.

The Kentucky Departmentof Veterans Affairs is deter-mined to make 2015 the yearthat discrepancy ends.

Throughout the year, KDVAwill reach out to both womenveterans and the general publicto honor our heroic womenveterans and connect them toveteran benefits and services.

If you served in the military,you may have earned benefitsand services for veterans.

KDVA will help you obtainthose benefits and services, andwe will do it at no cost to you.Call 502-595-4447 or go towww.veterans.ky.gov.

COMMUNITYRECORDEREditor: Melanie Laughman, [email protected], 513-248-7573

LEXINGTON — The Rylewrestling team spends a lot oftime in Ohio tournaments dur-ing the season, facing some topcompetition in the Buckeyestate, which has a deeper talentpool in the sport than Kentucky.

Ryle’s top wrestlers normal-ly have more matches complet-ed than most other competitorsin the state by the time the statemeet rolls around. And theRaiders can learn from thatcompetition.

Earlier this year, Ryle juniorLogan Erdman encountered aRussian-born wrestler in one ofthose Ohio tourneys. His com-petitor taught him what iscalled a “leg turk” move, usingboth legs to turn the opponentand get him on his back.

Erdman used that move andthe rest of his repertoire todominate Louisville Moore sen-ior Bobby Poynter March 11 in

the KHSAA state champion-ship match at 126 pounds. Erd-man won his first state champi-onship by a count of 15-0, withthe match ending early in thesecond period once that 15-point margin was reached

“It feels great to finally geton top of the podium after lastyear when I was runner-up,”Erdman said. “It just feels a lotbetter. I got the turk I wanted toget in, and once I got that in, Iknew he was done from there.”

After advancing by pin andby a 14-4 count on the first dayof the meet, Erdman rolledthrough his first two matcheson day two, winning by another15-0 tech fall, then by first-peri-od pin. Top-ranked in the stateby KentuckyWrestling.com go-ing in, Erdman finished 51-4and dominated Poynter (43-4),who was ranked second.

“I felt good in my earliermatches,” Erdman said. “WhatI had to do was warm up proper-ly and I know he didn’t warm at

all before the final match, andthat was a big factor for me.”

Ryle junior Johnny Meimanadded his second state champi-onship later, edging St. Xaviersenior Nathan Haddad 4-2 inthe 160-pound final. Meimanscored two takedowns in thethird period, the last comingwith just five seconds remain-ing to break a 2-2 tie.

“Honestly, I can’t tell you,”Meiman said of his winningmove. “Most of my matches arewon in the last 10 seconds any-way, just like last year. I don’tthink about it, it’s kind of mus-cle memory.”

Meiman, the state champion

at 170 last year, finished with a63-4 record. Top-ranked goingin, he found a way to get it doneagainst the third-ranked Had-dad.

“(The first takedown), hekind of opened up a bit and I slidby and took it. It was wideopen,” Meiman said. “I like go-ing to overtime with some ofthese kids, but he wasn’t one ofthem. He’s a big, tall kid. Ididn’t want to get ridden out byhim. I struggled with some tall-er kids. They don’t wear downas easily as short and stockykids do.”

Meiman found it hard to de-scribe how he felt being a re-

SHORT HOPS

By James [email protected]

This was the momentof redemption the Saintshad been craving for 365days.

Since Sydney Mosswent down with a knee in-jury in the first half of the2014 sectional final, theThomas More Collegewomen’s basketball teamhas dedicated itself toavenging that loss and ad-vancing to the program’sfirst final four. Theyearned that berth withtheir most hard-foughtwin of the season, defeat-ing second-ranked St.Thomas (30-1), 75-58.

“I’m proud of our play-ers, our alums, our fans--I’m so happy for every-body,” said head coachJeff Hans. “We have a newgroup this year. To seethem come together andbe able to play the way weplayed in the second half--I’m proud of them.”

This year’s Saints feltlike they were a team ofdestiny since the offsea-son. Their regular seasondominance has continuedinto the postseason, but ithasn’t always been easy. It

certainly wasn’t on Satur-day night.

The Saints trailed athalftime, 31-28. After hit-ting five of their first sev-en shots, they missed 18 oftheir next 23 to close outthe half. St. Thomas en-tered the game with thesecond-ranked scoringdefense in the countryand held Thomas More to39.3 percent shooting.

Moss led the way with 10points at halftime, butstruggled from the fieldand seemed to be dazed byan inadvertent hit to theface. She sat the final 4:06of the half, but came outwith renewed energy inthe second half.

“I just hate losing,”said Moss. “We’re all realcompetitive and we have alot of heart. We knew that

this was the time to stepup and finish strong.”

She made her first shotof the second half, a three-pointer, and the energy inthe sold-out Connor Con-vocation Center shiftedimmediately. The Saintsdominated the secondhalf, and Moss finishedwith a game-high 35points.

“We feed off of what

she does. We feed off ofher just as much as shefeeds off of everybodyelse,” said Hans. “Thatwas just a big boost of en-ergy, confidence, andwhat we needed to get go-ing. The whole crowd gotinvolved and into it.”

They’re hungry. We ac-complished that goal ofgetting to the final four.The next step in our proc-ess is to try to win a na-tional championship.We’re going to be hungry.Our two seniors and ourjuniors who have beenthrough so much

The Saints again reliedon a deep supporting castto carry the team whenMoss struggled early andto close the game out late.Sam Cady added 10 points,a night after fouling outscoreless. Nikki Kiernanadded eight points andeight rebounds off thebench. Stephanie Krus-ling snagged six big re-bounds and Olivia Huberprovided her usual sparkof defensive intensity.

By winning the pro-gram’s first sectionalchampionship, theseSaints have cementedtheir place in Thomas

More history. They arefar from satisfied, and re-main focused on theirmission to bring a nationalchampionship to Crest-view Hills. In the midst ofthe celebration, 2014graduate Katie Kitchenemotionally embracedher close friend and for-mer teammate Wainscott.

“That’s what it’s about,keeping that tradition andplaying for the people be-fore you,” said Wainscott.“To accomplish some-thing that she wanted sobad, nothing beats it.”

Thomas More will faceTufts on Friday, March 20,at Calvin College in GrandRapids. They cut down thenets following their finalhome win of the season.They were determinednot to let any other teamcut down the nets on theirhome court.

“It feels really good. Tosee everybody with theirparents, to see familieshugging, I’m happy forthem,” said Hans. “It wascut short last year whenwe lost. Now, we wereable to pull it out. It’s anexciting time for ThomasMore College.”

THANKS TO THOMAS MORE ATHLETICS

Thomas More College women’s basketball earned a final-four berth with their mosthard-fought win of the season, defeating second-ranked St. Thomas (30-1), 75-58.

Northern KentuckyUniversity has fired headbasketball coach DaveBezold, the school an-nounced Monday after-noon.

Bezold led the Norse toa 194-133 record over 11seasons as head coach, butwas 33-54 the last threeyears since making thetransition from DivisionII to Division I. NKU willbegin its national searchfor a new coach immedi-ately, according to thepress release.

“This is difficult givenDave’s role in our univer-sity and our community,”NKU’s Director of Athlet-ics Ken Bothof said in the

release. “Dave is a goodman and has given muchof himself to the develop-ment of the young men inour basketball program. Iam grateful for his ser-vice and wish him and hisfamily well.”

After finishing 5-13 inthe Atlantic Sun last sea-son, NKU went 7-7 in con-ference play this year.The Norse also hostedtheir first Division I post-season game, which theylost to Lipscomb 76-73 inthe first round of the At-lantic Sun Tournament.Bezold guided the Norseto an 11-16 record duringthe program’s inauguralseason in Division I backin 2012-13.

NKU’s athletic depart-ment declined to further

comment on the reasonfor firing Bezold now orany matters related to thecoaching search. Theteam still has one moreyear left in its Division Itransitional period beforeit’s eligible to compete inthe NCAA Tournament.

Bezold started his ca-reer as an assistant atNKU in 1990. He servedunder head coach KenShields for 14 years be-fore taking over afterShields’ retirement. He isa1990 graduate of Viterbo(Wis.) College where hehelped the V-Hawks ad-vance to the NAIA Tour-nament twice. Bezold isalso a 1984 graduate of Co-vington Holy Cross HighSchool.

The Florence RotaryClub program for Feb. 23featured retired FlorencePolice Capt. Linny Cloyd.

Cloyd, who spent over26 years with the FlorencePolice Department, ischairman of the BooneCounty Alliance. He is

also a member of theBoone County HeroinTask Force, The NorthernKentucky Chiefs of Policeand is a Kentucky Colonel.

His topic was the her-oin epidemic in NorthernKentucky.

This is a problem todaybecause heroin is a cheapalternative to OxyContin.When the criminal justicesystem got tough on pre-scription medicine, the al-ternative was heroin.

Unfortunately, afterbattling this problem lo-cally for two years, thereis no positive news to re-port.

According to Cloyd,“Addicts are still dying,crime is still up, and livesare still being destroyed.So why are we still talkingabout this topic?”

A questionnaire dis-tributed during the BooneCounty Fair revealed thata large number of ourcommunity is unaware ofthe heroin problem, Cloyd

said. Others believe thisproblem has nothing to dowith them.

However, the truth isthat it does, he said.

As Cloyd explained:6We are all paying

higher retail prices be-cause of theft.

6There are more peo-ple driving under the in-fluence of opiates thanever before.

6The rising number ofcases of hepatitis C, due toinjectable heroin, is be-coming its own epidemic.

6There is a rise in pet-ty crime to support thedrug habit.

If we keep talking,Cloyd continued, some-one might get the point.

BAPTIST


Roger Babik, presidentof Master Provisions,spoke to the Florence Ro-tary in March as the clubcelebrated Pastor Appre-ciation Day. The club rec-ognized local faith leadersfor their ministries andservice to the community.

Babik left CincinnatiBell after a 17-year careerto become a full-time pas-tor. He launched MasterProvisions in 1994 as aChristian organizationthat connects resourceslike food and clothing topeople in need locally, re-gionally and globally incooperation with strate-

gic mission partners.Master Provisions alsoplaces orphans into Chris-tian homes international-ly through monthly spon-sors. Babik plans and reg-ularly leads internationalmission trips and man-ages outreach activitiesfor orphan care, clothingministries and Christiancommunity developmentprojects.

Babik urged the as-sembled Rotarians andfaith leaders to focus onour similarities, not ourdifferences.

First, he encouragedeveryone to be united.“Although there are manydifferent denominations,we all share a centrality of

faith,“ he said. “We canagree to respectfully dis-agree, but always work inlove.” Our goal should beconnecting people towork together to serve theneeds of others, he said.

Question: How sooncan I start planting myvegetable garden?What can I plant first?Which crops need to bestarted indoors underlights, to grow my owntransplants, and howsoon should those seedsbe started?

Answer: Normally,we would already havegarden crops comingup, but it has been diffi-cult to get an early startin the garden this yeardue to all the snow, rainand mud this spring.The spring garden con-tains cool-season cropsthat are planted duringcool weather and areharvested throughoutthe spring and intoearly summer. Theseeds of most of thesecrops can be planteddirectly in the gardensoil, while others arenormally started in-doors under lights or ina greenhouse, thentransplanted to thegarden at a later date.

Spring garden plantsgrow best with rela-tively cool air temper-atures (50 to 65 degreesFahrenheit) and areraised either for theirleaves, stems or flowerbuds. Peas are grownfor their immaturefruits. These cropsproduce their vegeta-tive growth duringspring’s short, cooldays. If they are plant-ed too late in the spring,summer heat reducestheir quality by forcingsome to flower and

formseeds(“bolt-ing”),and oth-ers todevelopoff fla-vors,bitter-ness,poortexture

and low yields.Avoid these prob-

lems by planting springvegetables as soon asthe soil can be workedin the spring, sincesome freezing temper-atures will not injurethem. Plant either seedsor transplants, allowingthe vegetables to reachedible maturity beforehot summer days ar-rive. Plant as soon asthe soil is workable anddry enough so it doesnot form wet clods.

Do not work the soilwhen it is wet. Doing socan ruin the soil struc-ture for several years.You shouldn’t dig, plow,or even walk in wet,soggy soil. However, ifyour garden site isalready worked up(plowed, roto-tilled ordug up), and it’s dryenough to work in, youcan begin planting spin-ach, mustard, beets,and peas right away.They will germinate incold soil and will toler-ate some freezing tem-peratures. Cabbage,lettuce and kohlrabitransplants can also beplanted outside in mid-

to-late March. At thesame time, you canplant asparagus andrhubarb crowns, earlypotato seed pieces,onion sets, green on-ions, and seeds of car-rots, collards, kale,radishes, turnips andendive. In late March,you can also make asecond planting ofbeets, mustard, spinachand peas.

Indoors under fluo-rescent lights, youshould have alreadystarted seeds of onions,Brussels sprouts, broc-coli, cabbage, cauli-flower, kohlrabi, let-tuce, and Chinese cab-bage. It’s also time tostart seeds indoors ofpeppers, tomatoes, andeggplant, and to startgrowing sweet potatoslips for later trans-planting. To do this, justlay some sweet pota-toes on their sides,half-immersed in moistsand, put them underlights (indoors), andwait for the shoots(“slips”) to grow. Afterthe sprouts get severalinches long, cut themoff and root them inwater. Wait until June 1to plant these rootedslips outdoors, sincesweet potatoes are verysensitive to cool tem-perature.
