HIGHLAND HEIGHTS -Kentucky will start construc-tion in February on a new 1.7-mile road to decrease trafficcongestion on Northern Ken-tucky University’s main cam-pus.

Construction crews willbuild a new three-lane roadlargely through the western-most portions of NKU’s cam-pus. The connector road will bebuilt between Johns Hill Roadand Three Mile Road near en-trance and exit ramps to I-275.

Drivers seeking to get from

Johns Hill Road to I-275 have tocut through the center ofNKU’s campus along KentonDrive to get to I-275 now or goaround a longer route to U.S.27.

Kentucky TransportationCabinet District 6 Departmentof Highway awarded BrayConstruction Service Inc. ofAlexandria a $10.6 million con-tract to complete the connectorroad by fall of 2017.

“This project will improvethe safety and decrease trafficcongestion in and around theNKU campus,” said Rob Hans,District 6 chief district engi-neer. “This connector will

move much of the traffic to theperimeter of the campus awayfrom the central area.”

Starting on utilities, workwill begin on the north end ofthe road first near Three MileRoad and Sunset Drive, saidNancy Wood, District 6 spokes-woman.

Rear portions of NKU’sparking lots A, G, K and L willbe closed by construction aswell as all of lot Y, according toa news release from NKU.NKU recommends people com-ing to campus arrive earlierthan normal because of expect-ed increases in traffic.

Alternative parking sites on

campus for impacted lots in-clude the Welcome Center Ga-rage and lots O and P. Electronsigns will be set up to directdrivers to alternate parking. Amap of campus including aparking lot lettering system isavailable at bit.ly/1PnaaFp.

Building a sidewalk alongthe connector road is includedin construction costs.

Routing of the new roadfrom Three Mile Road at Sun-set will be to go around Camp-bell Drive on NKU’s campusand swing behind the resi-dence halls, Wood said.

The road will continuethrough the outermost por-

tions of parking lots on theedge of campus.

The road will meet JohnsHill Road by swinging aroundNKU’s softball field acrossJohns Hill Road from NorthernView Apartments, she said.

Roundabouts, circular inter-sections already in use else-where around NKU’s campus,will be built at Johns Hill Roadand Three Mile Road.

“So, there will be a round-about anchoring this new roadon both ends,” Wood said.

Kathleen Holden andher family wanted toprovide a home forone or more children

in need.They started fostering.

Two years later the “bless-ings” they’ve received in turnare “beyond words,” the Inde-pendence woman said.

“We have three siblingswith us, ages 4, 5 and 7.They’ve been with us almosttwo years,” she said. “In thebeginning it was rocky butyou build a trust with themand now, well, they’re mykids. Seeing them grow, see-ing them come full circle isjust wonderful. The rewardsare more than we everthought they’d be when wesigned up for this.”

The Holdens have alsobeen an inspiration to theirchurch Lakeside ChristianChurch, with campuses inLakeside Park, Hebron andTaylor Mill. The church isgoing to host a Pre-ServiceTraining at the Lakeside Parklocation on Buttermilk Pike inFebruary.

COVINGTON – North-ern Kentucky LegislativeCaucus members willspend two hours listeningto public concerns andquestions about state gov-ernment from 9-11 a.m.Saturday, Feb. 6, at theNorthern Kentucky Con-vention Center.

“I think we’re going toget a lot of people workingto voice their opinions onpensions, education fund-ing and teacher salaries,”Rep. Addia Wuchner, R-Burlington, said of theLegislative Forum.

Wuchner, chairwomanof the Northern KentuckyLegislative Caucus, saidmost people emailing andcalling her office havetalked about pensions,funding requests forNorthern Kentucky Uni-versity and public educa-tion in general.

Questions about whatwill happen to Kynect, thestate’s health insuranceexchange, are expected aswell, Wuchner said. Gov.Matt Bevin has notifiedfederal authorities heplans to dismantle kynectand transition Kentuck-ians to the federal sitehealthcare.gov to shop forinsurance under the Af-fordable Care Act.

Some people have alsoasked about House Bill 94to strengthen mentalhealth treatment lawsknown as “Tim’s Law,”Wuchner said.

Tim Morton died inMarch 2014 after beinghospitalized for mental ill-ness 37 times, according tothe National Alliance onMental Illness ofKentucky. HB 94 would al-low judges to order court-supervised treatment in

some cases to continuewhen patients are not forc-ibly hospitalized.

Wuchner said she ex-pects a large crowd forSaturday’s forum since it’sone of the few chances totalk to multiple legislatorsat one location.

Northern KentuckyArea Development Dis-trict (NKADD) staff willhelp the legislative caucushost the forum.

NKADD executive di-rector Lisa Cooper said all17 legislators in the caucusare invited. With legisla-tors’ schedules and a bud-get session in Frankfort,confirmation of which leg-islators will attend is notavailable, Cooper said.

How long people haveto speak depends uponhow many people sign upto speak, she said.

Groups are encouragedto elect a spokesperson tospeak rather than repeat-ing the message, she said.There is a two-hour limitfor the forum.

A Wilder steel mill that reduced itsworkforce by 83 percent last June willundergo more layoffs.

Roughly 126 workers at TMK Ipscowill be laid off this March, according toWorker Adjustment and Retraining No-tification notices filed earlier thismonth with the Kentucky Career Cen-ter.

Houston-based TMK Ipsco servesthe energy industry, and as crude oil ex-ploration wanes and foreign imports ofsteel increase, the company has shedemployees to a crew of one shift per day.

In June 2015, the company an-nounced that its workforce of 320 work-ers would be reduced to 54 people byJuly. The July layoffs, along with 115jobs cut in the preceding months, equat-ed to a 83 percent reduction of employ-ees, mostly in production roles.

The company, with revenues of $1.7billion in 2014, produces high-frequencyelectric resistant welding (ERW) proc-ess steel pipes used in oil and gas extrac-tion and transmission at the sprawlingWilder mill alongside the Licking River.

Company and union officials con-

tinue to blame the layoffs on the drasticdrop-off in profits of the oil and gas in-dustry, as well as trade agreements thatthey say allow the import of cheaperERW steel from China and South Korea.

Ray Rogg, who has worked at thecompany for 25 years, said plant man-agers are saying the layoffs are tempor-ary, but it could take years before peo-ple are called back to work.

Rogg, president of United Steelwork-ers Local 1870, estimates that less than70 people will remain at the Wilder loca-tion. He is to be laid off as well.

A new statewide alli-ance among 10 Kentuckyhealth care systemsknown as the KentuckyHealth Collaborative hasannounced its primaryobjectives of raising thestandards of care, ad-dressing the common-wealth’s poor health sta-tistics, and reducing thecost of care throughgreater efficiencies.

The founding healthsystems’ chief executiveofficers are serving on asteering committee thatis guiding the formationand development of thecollaborative.

“As we begin to rollout our new vision for St.Elizabeth, to lead North-ern Kentucky to becomeone of the healthiestcommunities in America,this collaborative willhelp us achieve this vi-sion not only for North-ern Kentucky, but all ofKentucky,” said GarrenColvin, St. Elizabethpresident and CEO.“Through the collabora-tive, all of our organiza-tions will be able to ac-complish collectivelywhat no single one of ourorganizations could doalone.”

The 10 initial healthsystems who have signedon as charter membersof the new collaborativeare:

» Appalachian Re-gional Healthcare, Lex-ington

» Baptist Health,Louisville

» Ephraim McDowellHealth, Danville

» LifePoint Health,Brentwood, Tennessee

» Norton Healthcare,Louisville

» St. Claire RegionalMedical Center, More-head

» » St. ElizabethHealthcare, Edgewood

» » The Medical Cen-ter, Bowling Green

» UK HealthCare,Lexington

» Owensboro Health,Owensboro

As the collaborativedevelops the systemsand infrastructure need-ed to accomplish its

goals, the opportunity tojoin will extend to a wid-er pool of potential mem-bers throughout thestate.

In addition, the collab-orative’s steering com-mittee has hired William“Bill” L. Shepley as theorganization’s inauguralexecutive director. She-pley, who has more than25 years of experience asa health care executive,has devoted his career todeveloping and manag-ing multifacility allianc-es and networks to guideorganizations throughchanges in the healthcare delivery system.

“The opportunity tolead the KentuckyHealth Collaborative isone of the proudest mo-ments of my career,”Shepley said. “The Ken-tucky Health Collabora-tive has created a gov-ernance structure thatsupports the inclusionand participation ofhealth care providers re-gardless of location with-in the state, size or profitstructure. The solutionswe expect to developthrough the collabora-tive have worked well forsimilar networks acrossthe country, and I amhonored to be a part ofthis important process.”

PARK HILLS – Covington CatholicHigh School senior Josh Hildreth’s pas-sion for tinkering on a competition robotnamed “Chainsaw” knows few bound-aries.

“I take it around everywhere and onweekends even,” Hildreth said. “Theguys joke around with me that I’m datingthe robot.”

“Chainsaw” doesn’t cut anything. Thename came from an early design thatmade the robot’s whirring motions looklike a chainsaw, Hildreth said.

“We decided to keep the name,” hesaid.

Hildreth, of Alexandria, is one of 40CovCath robotics/engineering club stu-dents. The club is tied to the school’sSTEM (Science, Technology, Engineer-ing and Math) program started last fall.

CovCath has 160 students taking twodifferent STEM courses – 25 percent ofenrolled students.

Robotics club members will host stu-dents from around the region for an inau-gural “CovCath Colonel Classic VEXTournament” from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.Saturday, Feb. 6, at Thomas More Col-lege’s Steigerwald Hall.

CovCath has five robotics teams thathave already competed this year against91teams in two different competitions inShelbyville, Kentucky, and Elizabeth-

town, Kentucky.Robotics club students specialize in

mechanical engineering and program-ming, said STEM coordinator and clubcoach Bob Lind.

During competition, students’ robotshave two minutes to perform tasks au-tonomously at first, and then with re-mote-control guidance. This year’s taskis to see how many balls a robot can cata-pult or pitch into a hoop-shaped hole.

“Chainsaw” uses a flywheel design toaim balls at the hole similar to how ballscome out of a batting cage machine.Chainsaw can shoot a dozen balls in thespan of a few seconds.

“We have several gear ratios. Thefirst gear ratio here is geared for speedso when the motor spins around it makesthree revolutions then the wheel spins 49revolutions,” Hildreth said.

Hildreth, his team’s chief engineer,has accepted an offer from University ofLouisville’s J.B. Speed School of Engi-neering to pay for his tuition for 5.5years. It’s enough time to get both bache-lor’s and master’s degrees, Hildreth said.

Tinkering on “Chainsaw” at home andduring any free moments at school is “apassion,” he said. Hildreth takes the ro-bot and a backpack filled with parts toLind’s engineering class and to a Com-puter-Aided Design (CAD) class.

“I’m actually building this robot inCAD and it goes up to 1/1000th of an inchis the accuracy of it,” he said.

Lind said CovCath STEM courses tak-en by robotics club students and othersare taught in partnership with national-STEM curriculum provider ProjectLead the Way.

Courses are “hands-on” opportunitiesfor students to learn a three-dimensionalmodeling computer program and prac-tice principles of engineering, he said.

Students learn about gears and me-chanical systems, robotics, bridge de-signs, hydraulics, electronics and com-puter breadboards. Breadboards are de-vices for constructing an electronic cir-cuit without soldering a connection,

Math teacher Joe Gastenveld, anoth-er CovCath robotics coach, said he andLind mostly answer students’ questions.

“Most of this stuff is 100 percent theiridea, they’re building the things, they’reprogramming them, they’re picking theparts up,” Gastenwald said.

Sophomore Brett Schomaker, of Cres-cent Springs, said he was in a Lego robot-ics club in grade school.

“I thought it was a little bit too sim-plistic so I stopped doing that,” Scho-maker said.

Schomaker, lead programer for hisrobotics team, said he decided to sign upfor the club as soon as he came to Cov-Cath as a freshman.

“I’ve always been interested in com-puters, so when I came here I saw robot-ics and I was like, ‘Oh, I should try thatout,’” he said.

Covington Catholic High School senior Josh Hildreth of Alexandria connects a wire on“Chainsaw,” a robot he carries with him everywhere including to engineering and computerdesign courses at the Park Hills school.

Enter the Northern Ken-tucky University Campus RecCenter and immerse yourself in... pretty much whatever youlike, if you’re a student.

Choices include diving into a13-foot-deep diving well fromboards or the climbing wall andswimming in pools containingmore than 340,000 gallons ofwater. Running or walking on anelevated indoor track. Climbingon boulders, cave included.Working out with fitness equip-ment. Doing the whole intramu-ral college thing.

This is a “green” center, airyand spacious, measuring169,000 square feet (rather thanthe original recreation center athalf that size). With 677 win-dows. (The old one had six.)

The newly expanded NKUCampus Rec Center isn’t justdesigned for athletes.

“This is much more than justopen basketball and organizedsports,” said Matthew Hacket,director of campus recreation.

It was a student-inspired,student-driven project. And theresult is a selling point for theuniversity.

Universities throughout thenation have known this foryears. The quality of the cam-pus recreation center is a majordraw to lure new students and tokeep them. The facilities are in-tended to be student-inclusive,and some, such as NKU’s, in-clude the greater community intheir offerings.

Miami University recog-nized the value of such facilitieswhen, in 1994, it opened its Rec-reational Sports Center. Thecenter was billed as a mission toserve students’ education andwellness, said Doug Curry, ex-ecutive director of the univer-sity’s recreation services.

“We think of the holistic edu-cation of the student,” Currysaid.

The Miami facility, withabout 200,000 usable squarefeet, has gotten a 96 percent sat-isfaction rating from studentsevery year over the last 10 anddraws 3,000 to 3,500 students a

day, university surveys and rec-ords show.

Other Ohio universities arealso serving their students as a

whole with rec centers.“What’s important for us is,

we support the wellness of ourstudents, and that includes agreat many aspects of their stu-dent life,” said David Isaacs, aspokesman from Ohio StateUniversity’s Student Life of-fices.

Likewise, the University ofCincinnati admissions officialsrecognize that their multipur-pose Campus Recreation Cen-ter is key to satisfying students.

“It’s important enough to ourprospective students and par-ents that it’s one of the stops wemake when we do our tours,”said Thomas Canepa, associatevice president for admissions atUC.

The campus rec center of-fers 200,000 square feet withinwhich anything from rockclimbing to weight training andmore traditional sports are fea-tured.

The concept behind the NKUrec center was hatched by stu-dents and is funded through astudent-approved fee. The costis estimated at $48 million.

Hackett said the studentsfueled the creation of the cen-ter.

“They wanted natural-lightwindows, fitness studios and so-cial space, personal training, anindoor track,” he said. “We’vebeen able to include all thethings they had envisioned.”

A resolution passed last yearby the Student Government As-sociation also called for the in-stallation of gender-inclusiverestrooms in every academicand commonly used building, sothe new center includes them,and changing facilities.

The building has 80, 400-foot-deep geothermal wells to heatwater features and much of thebuilding, rendering it “green.”

Hacket said the 18-monthconstruction project has beenexciting to watch. More impor-tant is the evidence that stu-dents are excited: The CampusRec Center already has drawnabout twice as many students inits first three months of full use,at about 60,000 visits, than itsprevious rendition did in thatamount of time in past years.

PUZZLE ANSWERS

FEBRUARY 4, 2016 • CCF RECORDER • 7ANEWS

I just loved the requestfrom a Northern Kentuckyreader for a Valentine’s Dayrecipe.

“My husband keeps talk-ing about his mom’s Swisssteak. All he remembers isthat she pounded salt andpepper into the meat withflour, browned it and thenbaked it with tomatoes. Ithad cheese on the top andwas his favorite. I would like tomake this as a surprise Valentine’sDay dinner for him. If you have arecipe that is close, I would really

appreciate it,” she said.Well, I not only have a

recipe that looks like whatshe wants, I think this onemight be what his mommade.

I also wanted to sharesome truffle recipes. Thereare two recipes here: one foradults and one for kids. I’vegot all bases covered!

Rita Nader Heikenfeld isan herbalist, educator, Jungle Jim’sEastgate culinary professional andauthor. Find her blog online atAbouteating.com.

‘I love you’ oven Swiss steak

1-1/2 pounds round steak, 3/4 inches thick1/4 cup flour1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons each salt and pepper1 can stewed tomatoes1/2 cup each chopped celery and carrot1/4 cup chopped onion1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce or bit more to taste1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 325.Cut meat into 4 portions. Mix flour, salt and pepper and pound into meat. Set

aside flour that is left. Brown meat in oil or shortening on all sides. Don’t cook it,just brown it. Place meat in shallow baking dish. Blend remaining flour with drip-pings in skillet and add rest of ingredients, except for cheese. Cook, stirring con-stantly, until mixture boils. Pour over meat. Cover tightly and bake for 2 hours oruntil tender. Top with cheese and return to oven for a few minutes to melt cheese.

Elegant chocolate truffles

3 tablespoons light corn syrup3/4 cup whipping cream, unwhipped12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

into very small pieces1 teaspoon vanilla

In a small saucepan combine the corn syrupand heavy cream. Bring to a simmer and add the 12ounces of chocolate. Stir until smooth. Removefrom the heat and add vanilla.

Pour the mixture into a container and place inthe refrigerator for at least 1 hour until firm. Scoopchocolate using small ice cream scoop onto panlined with parchment paper or sprayed foil. Returnto frig until very firm.

Coating:

8 ounces or so high quality melted chocolate,cooled a bit but still liquid enough to dip

Tiny sprinkles/nuts, etc. (optional)

Remove the truffles from the refrigerator andshape into balls by rolling between the palms ofyour hands. Work quickly since the heat of yourhands makes the chocolate soft. Dip each truffleinto the chocolate to coat and place on wire rackfor excess to drip off.

Tip:For a quicker and easier truffle, omit thechocolate coating and drop the shaped trufflesdirectly into cocoa powder, nuts or coconut.

Oreo truffles

1 pound package of Oreo sandwich cookies, divided (not double stuffed)8 ounces cream cheese, softened1 teaspoon vanilla

Coating:

12 ounce bag semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips, melted and cooled abit but still liquid enough to dip

Crush 9 of the cookies to fine crumbs in food processor. Set aside. Cookies alsocan be finely crushed in a plastic bag using a rolling pin.

Crush rest of cookies. Place in bowl and add cream cheese and vanilla. Mixuntil well blended. Roll into 1 inch balls.

Dip in melted chocolate and set on wire rack.Immediately sprinkle with leftover crumbs so that crumbs adhere before

chocolate coating sets up. Refrigerate until firm. Store in refrigerator up to a cou-ple of weeks.

law requiring the senator andrepresentative of a districtwith a public funded project inprogress to give up a third oftheir government and personalsalary during the constructionphase of the project to helppay for the project. This willalso cut costs and is just as fairto the legislators as SB9 is tothe workers.

The prevailing wage isthere to insure workers aren’tcheated by being paid less thancomparable workers in thesame area and was designed toprotect them from contractorswho bid on these projects. Noone thought they would have tobe protected from their ownlegislators.

SB9 exposes the truth aboutRepublican policy. Unless youare a businessman, govern-ment can’t help you. It’s notgovernment’s job. The truth isgovernment is the only entitythat can protect you from theunjust and predatory nature ofbusiness and the free market.SB9 eliminates that protection.

WilSchroder supports a law, SB9,mandating that workers whowould normally be paid by lawthe “prevailing wage,” not bepaid the prevailing wage whenworking on school constructionprojects to save taxpayer mon-ey on these projects. If theworkers of Bracken, Campbelland Pendleton counties hadany doubt whether Repub-licans cared about the welfareof their families, they needdoubt no longer. Republicanswant their families to give upsome of their income to buildpublic school projects. I guessusing schools and childrensomehow makes this theft ofthe workers’ salaries morallyjust but I wonder what justifi-cation they will use when theytry to expand this theft to otherprojects.

Why do Republicans alwaysplace the burden for “cuttingbig government” on those whomake the least?

Here’s an idea! How about a

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Last week’s questionWho will be President of theUnited States one year from to-day? Why will he or she havewon?

“One year from today wewill be hailing the almightyand magnificent PresidentTrump. I am not saying I agreewith this choice, but yet againit will be a matter of the major-ity of the population votingagainst the greater evil ratherthan for the best choice. I trulylong for an election where wecan in good conscience vote forthe right candidate with pas-sion and belief that he or she isthe best and correct choice forthe highest office in our soci-ety. Trump simply has toomuch momentum, media pres-ence and too many faithfulfollowers to be stopped. He issaying the things that too manyof us feel need to be said, andwhich the other hopefuls aretoo PC to state. On the cam-paign side he doesn’t requirehuge donations and is there-fore beholden to none of thespecial interests. If nothingelse, this election cycle so farhas been good entertainment.”

M.J.F.

“I think it will be Ted Cruz.Most of America will finallywake up and realize that healthcare isn’t a right it is a privi-lege, that Christianity is thenational religion, diplomacy isweak and bombing is strongand good, woman should cededecisions about their bodiesand reproductive health towealthy, white evangelicalmales, and every citizen’s dutyis to be armed with an opencarry weapon.

“I can relate very well to hispopulist story of attendingcommon Ivy League schools,marrying a common GoldmanSachs executive and taking ajob where you grind your placeof employment to a standstill.

“For all these democraticand patriotic reasons I see himcoming out on top next year.”

C.S.

“One year from today, you

arrive home excited becauseyou met with your boss todayand he said due to increase inbusiness, he was promotingyou to manage the new em-ployees. A raise comes withthe job. The HR manager in-forms you your health insur-ance is going down in pricebecause of increased competi-tion. Then you think back, ayear earlier the country feltlike it was rapidly suffocating,No good jobs, increased healthinsurance premiums and aNavy suffering through aThird World country holdingguns to their heads on theirown ship.”

J.H.D.

“Right now Democrat Hilla-ry Clinton and Donald Trumpare the favorites for their par-ties. I think the Democraticnominee has that 47 percent ofvoters (Romney’s claim ofthose not paying taxes and/oron entitlements) in their hippocket. Trump seems to havecaptured the American voters’disappointment with currentleadership. He seems to havewhat the frustration fueledmasses are looking for, i.e., achange or the next RonaldReagan. I think that voter frus-tration will ‘trump’ Hillary’svery questionable track rec-ord. I hope Trump chooseswisely his VP, cabinet andadvisers. He scares me, but Iam naively optimistic he canright the ship. I look forward totheir debates next fall.”T.D.T.

Most of us have either experi-enced or witnessed a car out ofcontrol on an icy road. If youwere fortunate enough to escape

injury, you probably are much more cau-tious than you were before the incident.During wintry weather, a few additionaltraffic laws apply. However, many peoplemay not be aware of those laws.

For example, on snowy or icy roads,drivers can be cited for speeding or reck-less driving even if they are driving thespeed limit or slower. If an officer feels thedriver’s speed in the wintry conditions isunsafe, a citation will be issued. In addition,if a driver loses control of the car andslides through a stop sign or a red light, heor she could be cited for the traffic vio-lation. And if that violation causes a trafficaccident, the driver is liable.

When the weather affects the roads, thefollowing guidelines apply:

» Snow reduces the normal speed limitby half;

» Ice changes the normal speed limit to5 to 10 mph;

» Rain or wet road conditions reduce thenormal speed limit by 5 to 10 mph; and

» Heavy rain, snow or fog that limits thevisual field to 100 feet changes the normalspeed limit to 30 mph.

Driving on snowy and icy roads is dan-gerous and should be avoided if at all pos-sible. For those who have to drive, the Ken-tucky State Police offer these suggestions:

» Slow down. In order to maintain con-trol of your car in wintry weather, youmust decrease your speed.

» Increase brakingdistances. Give yourselfadditional stopping dis-tances. This will help pre-vent the possibility ofsliding through stop signsand traffic lights.

» Increase the distancebetween your car and thecar in front of you. Thiswill give you more time tostop if your car slides onthe road.

» Always buckle up.Seat belts and child safety seats are the lawin Kentucky. And it’s never more importantto wear these safety devices than duringthe wintry weather.

These suggestions, along with the addi-tional traffic laws, were developed to en-courage safe driving and prevent injuryduring wintry weather. Unfortunately,drivers who follow all the rules and sugges-tions for driving on snowy roads still mayfind themselves in a traffic accident. Eventhe best drivers are in danger of causing anaccident or being the victim of one. So, if atall possible, simply stay off the roads inwintry weather. That is the safest andsmartest suggestion of all.

FRANKFORT, Ky. – With aminute to play in their All “A”Classic state quarterfinal Jan.29, it was announced that New-port Central Catholic seniorBen Weyer had tied the tourna-ment single-game record with22 rebounds. By then, Weyerwas relaxed on the bench andready to prepare for the semi-finals.

“He was unbelievable on theboards,” said NCC head coachRon Dawn. “If I had known thatI would have left him in thereand he could have shattered therecord. He did a great job.”

Weyer was a one-manwrecking crew at FrankfortConvention Center, almost sin-gle-handedly sinking the Dan-ville Admirals and anchoringthe Thoroughbreds’ effortsduring a 61-44 NewCath win. Inaddition to the 22 boards (15 de-fensive), Weyer had 38 points,three blocked shots, two assistsand a steal.

“Tonight the shots were fall-ing,” Weyer said. “Last night, Ijust played a different game.Tonight was my night. We’vebeen playing as a team, and on agiven night it can be anybody.”

Danville led 10-9 late in thefirst quarter, but Weyer scored16 points the rest of the half, in-cluding 13 in the second quar-ter, to lead NCC on a 24-7 runinto the locker room. He usedall of his offensive weapons in-cluding his variety of postmoves and ball-fakes, mi-drange jumpers, and the 3-point shot. Weyer was 14 of 26from the field and 9-for-13 fromthe foul line. He outscored theentire Danville lineup until latein the game.

“We felt we could go inside,”Dawn said. “Their athleticismconcerned us, their quickness.They play so hard. We knew wehad to match their effort and Ithought we did a good job ofthat.”

The night before in the firstround against Lexington Chris-tian, Weyer was one of five

Thoroughbreds in double fig-ures, posting 11 points, 13 re-bounds, seven assists and fiveblocks in NCC’s 21-point win.

“Tonight was his night scor-ing but last night I thought hehad a heck of a game, too,”Dawn said. “He almost had atriple (double). He played agreat game last night. We gotthe ball to him more tonight.We felt we had an advantage inthere tonight and it worked outthat way.”

NCC lost 47-41 to Cordia inthe semifinals.

Ramon Mercado’s 3-point

basket with 44 seconds to playgave Cordia the lead for goodas the upstart Lions from east-ern Kentucky knocked off thethree-time defending All “A”state champions. Cordia beatMurray for the title the nextday.

NCC (18-4) took its first lossin the state tournament sincethe 2011 semifinals, snapping a14-game winning streak in thetournament.

FRANKFORT, Ky. – Mur-ray, Kentucky, in the westernpart of the state, is the home ofthe Murray State UniversityRacers.

Murray High School, lessthan two miles away from theuniversity, calls its team the Ti-gers, but its girls basketballteam is a fast and athletic unitas well, and the squad used itsdepth and uptempo attack torace and roar past NewportCentral Catholic Jan. 30 in theKentucky All “A” Classic statesemifinals.

Murray, ranked 11th in thestate by the Litkenhous com-puter ratings, improved to 23-1by routing the Thoroughbreds65-39 at Frankfort ConventionCenter.

“They’re a very good defen-sive team,” said NCC headcoach George Stoll. “They havea good combination of size,quickness and athleticism.They rebound the ball prettywell, too. They’re good. Todaythey outplayed us and they beatus.”

Murray came in with fourplayers averaging between 10and 13 points per game, while

collectively averaging 68points per game on offense as ateam.

The Tigers gradually pulledaway in the first half and led 31-14 at the break. One key playerin the first half was forwardMaddie Waldrop, a 6-foot-2 ju-nior who has received offersfrom several Division I schoolsin Kentucky and Tennessee.She had eight points, an assistand a blocked shot in the firsthalf. She continually got in thelane on NCC’s smaller defend-ers.

With Murray leading 16-11late in the first quarter, Wal-drop scored inside to make it18-11, then with the clock run-ning down, she cut inside fromthe corner down the baseline.As the NewCath defense fo-cused on Waldrop, sophomoreAlexandria Mayes sneakedinto the same corner to hit awide-open 3-pointer, and Mur-ray led 21-11 heading into thesecond period.

Murray limited NewCath tothree points in the second quar-ter, and led 31-14 at halftime.Murray led 52-26 after threeand by as much as 32 points inthe fourth.

Waldrop and Mayes tied forgame leadership with 16 points.Sophomore point guard MaceyTurley had 11 points and six as-sists. Sophomore Alexis Burpohad nine points and 12 rebounds.

“We wanted to limit them toone shot, and that was key,” saidMurray head coach RechelleTurner. “We were able to get outand run. When we can play atour tempo, we feel like we’repretty hard to stop.”

“That’s what makes them sogood is their balance,” Stoll said.“(Turley) is a tremendous play-er. She’s able to calm everythingdown for them and get them inthe correct positions. She’s sogood at distributing the ball.(Waldrop) played awesome.She’s a great player.”

Murray’s defense was thereal star of the first half. NCCshot just 6 of 22 for the half (27percent), and most of those sixmakes were tough, acrobaticshots under heavy pressurefrom the Tigers.

Murray had 10 blocked shots,five from Waldrop, and onlycommitted seven fouls for thegame. Murray was 20--for-24from the free-throw line andshot 57 percent from the floor(20-for-37). NCC was 3 of 6 fromthe foul line and shot 30 percentfrom the field (15-for-50). Mur-ray had 16 assists to eight for theThoroughbreds.

NCC senior Ansley Daven-port, who had 35 points the daybefore in an overtime win overGlasgow, was limited to 12points on 5 of 11shooting and hadseven rebounds.

“They’re very good, very tal-ented,” Davenport said. “Theymade us work and I have a lot ofrespect for them. They’re a verygood team. I’m really proud ofmy team. We did the best that wecould. I’m thankful to get downhere and get as far as we did.”

Olivia Schalk had six pointsand six assists for NCC, who willregroup and look ahead to the36th District tournament.

“I’m very thankful to bedown here again,” Davenportsaid. “It’s my third time downhere. I’ve had some great timeswith my teammates. I’m justlooking to finish off the season.”

Davenport played one of herbest games in a NCC uniform in

the quarterfinals, a 70-65 winover Glasgow in overtime. Shebroke a 64-all tie with a drivinglayup with 32 seconds to go inOT. NCC started its winning pos-session with 60 seconds to play.The ’Breds executed a series ofdribbles and handoffs beforeDavenport found a wide-openlane from the left side and wentto the hoop.

“She did a good job,” Stollsaid. “We were holding it for oneshot and we wanted nothing buta layup. She took it in there andgot a lane.”

Davenport continued herclutch play in the All “A” tour-ney. She had scored 19 points af-ter halftime in the champion-ship win over Holy Cross twoweeks ago.

“I just wanted to play the bestI could for my teammates,” shesaid. “I knew they were count-ing on me. I was counting onthem. I wanted to finish it forthem.”

Davenport shot 12-for-27from the field and added sevenrebounds, three assists and fivesteals. Junior guard OliviaSchalk had 14 points and four as-sists. Sophomore Lexy Breenhad 11 points. Freshman KaraZimmerman chipped in eightpoints and junior Meg Martinhad a game-high nine reboundsas NCC outrebounded Glasgow36-27. Zimmerman had a keybasket in OT.

“I went in thinking I did notwant to go home,” Schalk said.“This is (Davenport’s) last yearand I wanted to do this for her.I’m happy we won.”

NewCath, 16-7, was sched-uled to play Holmes Feb. 3, thenhost St. Henry Feb. 5 and play atdefending Eighth Region champSimon Kenton Feb. 6.

NCC’s Olivia Schalk passes past twodefenders.

a 3-pointer and the front end of aone-and-one free throw oppor-tunity. After that free throw,NCC’s Weyer volleyed for therebound with Zeke Biallas, a 6-foot-6 Cordia junior, but Biallaswon the battle with 21 secondsleft and was fouled.

Biallas made both ends of theone-and-one on the other end tomake it a four-point game at 45-41, and junior guard AnthonyNelson later notched two freethrows for the final margin.

“We had to execute better,”said Dawn. “We had threechances to make it a two-posses-sion game. We missed some freethrows, took a couple of quickshots, bad shots. We’ll learnfrom it.”

Cordia ran an uptempo at-tack and does well at protectingthe rim with Biallas, 7-footsophomore and native HaitianOumar Keita, and 6-5 junior Ma-lik Henry. Junior guard Nelson,who averages 17 points pergame for the year, led Cordiawith 16 Saturday and stands 6-4.

“They’re good. They’re veryathletic,” Dawn said. “They’re agood defensive team and theygot size. We won’t play anotherteam with that kind of size. Andthey’re not big, slow guys.They’re athletic.”

Weyer had 21 points, sevenrebounds and six blocks but waslimited to 5 of 15 shooting. NCCshot 14-for-44 overall (31.8 per-cent).

“They beat him up prettygood, which we knew they weregoing to do,” Dawn said. “They

got real physical with him,probably wore him down some.I probably should have got himout some. We did a little bit butnot a lot. Ben’s effort is there.He works his butt off. He’llbounce back.”

NCC sophomore guard Bren-nan Hall came out firing out ofthe locker room, scoring sixstraight points out to give NCC a27-22 lead. Hall scored twomore baskets to give him 10straight NewCath points in thequarter, and Weyer scored fourto end the period as the teamstraded buckets for the mostpart and they were tied at 35 en-tering the fourth.

Hall ended with 14 points on 7of 17 shooting and had twosteals.

“Brennan’s a good player”Dawn said. “He’s got somethings to learn yet but he’s get-ting better every day out there.He’s a sophomore, it’s the firsttime he’s been in anything likethis. He’s going to be a heck of aplayer for us. He can makeplays.”

Anderson led NCC with eightrebounds. Weyer had seven.NCC only had five assists but 18turnovers against the Lions’bigger defense. Nelson had fiveassists for Cordia.

“We’ve really got to work onour offensive execution andkeep getting better defensive-ly,” Dawn said. “We got to get towhere we can execute betteragainst good pressure, whenthey’re putting good ball pres-sure on us.”

CAMPBELL COUNTY –The Hitt family made highschool bowling history for thesecond year in a row at the Re-gion 5 singles tournaments atSuper Bowl Erlanger Jan. 26.

Campbell County seventh-grader Kaylee Hitt became theyoungest bowler to win a Re-gion 5 singles championshipwith a 161-131 victory over de-fending champion ElizabethMasminster of Dayton in thegirls’ stepladder bracket final.

Hitt, who turned 13 on Jan.17, surpassed brother AustinHitt as the region’s youngestchampion. Austin Hitt won lastyear’s Region 5 boys’ singlescrown as an eighth-grader. Heremains the youngest Region 5boys’ singles champion, butfinished seventh this year.

“I’m kind of shocked,” saidKaylee, a Campbell CountyMiddle School student. “I knewI had it in me. But, still, I’mkind of surprised and very hap-py.”

The younger Hitt, the re-gion’s top seed, qualified forthe Feb. 11-12 state tournamentat Collins Eastland Lanes inLexington. Masminster, a sen-ior and Tuesday’s fourth seed,is heading to state for the thirdyear in a row.

The key shots for KayleeHitt were double strikes in theninth frame of the final with adifferent ball that followed adifficult 2-10 split pickup for

spare by Masminster.“She did that all on her

own,” said father and Camelsassistant coach, Josh Hitt, whoowns and operates Hitt’s ProShop In Newport with his fa-ther. “The ball she was usingwasn’t getting enough friction,so she switched and got thehook she wanted.”

In the team event, theCampbell County boys teamreturned to the state tourney.

The Camels battled throughto the finals Jan. 28 after fall-ing behind Dayton 2-0 in thebest-of-five quarterfinals.Campbell rallied to average186 the next three games to ad-vance, then rolled over SimonKenton in the semis, averaging222 before running into High-lands. All matches were in theBaker format, in which fiveteammates alternate frameswith each player rolling twoframes in the same game.

Austin Hitt anchored agroup with junior Luke Haigisand seniors Solomon Wallace,Mason Borne and Jacob Bar-ton.

“They didn’t let anythingfaze them,” said Campbellhead coach Justin Mason.“They came here with themindset of wanting to win theregion. With their work ethic,we were able to at least make itto state. Dayton had us down2-0. We won three straight andit loosened us up a little bit. Itgot our confidence back a littlebit. These guys are seniors butmost of them had never partic-ipated in something like thisbefore.”

Campbell County bowlers pose with their regional runner-up trophy.

FRANKFORT – Under the direction of headcoach Mike Code, Bishop Brossart has frustrat-ed many opponents with hard-nosed halfcourtdefense and toughness. Jan. 28, the Mustangsmet their match in the first round of the All “A”state tournament, falling to a defensive-mindedMurray team, 37-33.

Brossart finished with more turnovers (12)than field goals (11), and shot just 33.3 percent.Murray alternated its defense between a stickyhalfcourt man-to-man and a halfcourt zone, butthe biggest key to their success was staying tightin the halfcourt and getting deflections to keepthe Mustangs out of their offense. Murray fin-ished as state runner-up to Cordia.

“We saw them beat Paris in the regional final,54-50, and they got three baskets off the samebackdoor play three different times,” Murraycoach Bart Flener said. “We made sure to takeaway the backdoor. I just thought our guys werereally dialed in. They didn’t want to come up hereand face what they had to last year, which was atough first round loss.”

Jacob Zai led Brossart with 10 points. TheMustangs’ leading scorer, senior Jackson Craw-ford, finished with nine points and eight re-bounds. He came into the game averaging 16.9points per game.

Junior guard Preston English finished with 12points and buried three 3-pointers for the Tigers.Lipscomb commit James Boone was limited tosix points on 1-for-7 shooting with four boards,but added five assists.

Despite a slow start, Brossart had its chancesin the closing minutes.

After trailing by seven entering the fourthquarter, a three from senior forward Joey Hick-man and a free throw from Crawford brought theMustangs back within one possession, 31-28, with4:14 to play in the game. However, Murray bigman Ethan Clark nailed an open three to keep theTigers in control for the time being.

Zai buried a three with 2:03 left to spark Bros-sart’s final push. That shot drew the Mustangswithin two, 35-33. Murray bled over 30 secondsoff the clock on their following possession, be-fore a traveling violation gave the ball back to theMustangs.

The ensuing go-ahead 3-point attempt fromHickman rimmed out, forcing the Mustangs tofoul with 35.3 to play. Boone missed the front endof a bonus situation at the charity stripe, butBrossart couldn’t convert on a drive at the otherend. The Mustangs fouled Boone again, and thesecond time he sank a pair of free throws to putthe game out of reach 37-33 with 10.9 to play.

“We’re going to battle and we’re going tofight,” Brossart coach Mike Code said. “We had athree in the air to take the lead with under a min-ute to play, if that goes down, who knows. I toldthe kids in the locker room, I’m disappointed for

them, but I’m not disappointed in them. They’re ahard group to stay mad at. They give you every-thing they’ve got. We were trying tonight, Mur-ray was just a little better.”

The always-methodical Mustangs’ offensecombined with the sagging halfcourt defense ofMurray was the perfect storm for an extremelyslow paced and ugly game.

The Mustangs only scored one field goal forthe first 10-plus minutes of the game, beforeCrawford ended their drought with 5:45 left inthe half on a spin move and finish to make it12-5.

Zai nailed a three with 3:30 to play in the sec-ond quarter, and Bryce Kremer followed a pos-session later with a triple to cut the Mustangs’deficit to one-possession, 14-11.

With a little over a minute to play in the half,Boone answered with an and-one finish at theother end of the court, giving the Tigers a 16-11advantage at intermission. By that point, Murrayhad six field goals and six turnovers on offense,and Brossart had four field goals with five turn-overs.

Preston English’s three from the left wingwith just over four minutes to play in the thirdquarter pushed Murray’s lead to double-digits,23-13. However, Hickman answered right backwith a three at the other end for Brossart.

Murray began draining the clock with overfive minutes left and only a four-point lead,which contributed to the chaotic ending.

Brossart fell to 16-4 and will play at PendletonCounty Feb. 4 before traveling to Newport Cen-tral Catholic in a big rivalry game Feb. 6.

NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS OF KENTUCKY UTILITIES COMPANYRECOVERY BY ENVIRONMENTAL SURCHARGE OF KENTUCKY UTILITIES COMPANY’S

2016 ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE PLAN

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that Kentucky Utilities Company (“KU”) filed with the Kentucky Public Ser-vice Commission (“Commission”) on January 29, 2016 in Case No. 2016-00026, an Application pursuant toKentucky Revised Statute 278.183 for approval of an amended compliance plan (“KU’s 2016 EnvironmentalCompliance Plan”) for the purpose of recovering the capital costs associated with new pollution control facilitiesthrough an increase in the environmental surcharge on customers’ bills beginning August 31, 2016 under KU’sexisting Electric Rate Schedule ECR, also known as the environmental cost recovery surcharge. The total capitalcost of the projects in KU’s 2016 Environmental Compliance Plan is estimated to be $678 million.

Federal, state, and local environmental regulations require KU to build and upgrade equipment andfacilities that produce energy from coal to operate in an environmentally sound manner. Specifically, KU isseeking Commission approval of Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity for the construction of PhaseII of the landfill at the E.W. Brown Generation Station (“Brown”), and to close coal-combustion-residual (“CCR”)ponds and construct new process-water facilities at Brown, the Ghent Generating Station (“Ghent”), and theTrimble County Generating Station. Each construction project is component of KU’s 2016 Environmental Compli-ance Plan.

KU is also seeking an order declaring that CCR pond closures at the Green River Generating Sta-tion, Pineville Generating Station, and Tyrone Generating Station are ordinary extensions of existing systems ofthe usual course of business.

Lastly, KU is seeking an order approving an amended compliance plan for purposes of recoveringthe costs of new pollution control facilities through its Environmental Surcharge tariff. These projects are requiredfor KU to comply with the federal Clean Air Act as amended, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s new ruleon the Disposal of CCR from Electric Utilities, the Mercury Air Toxics Standards, and other environmental require-ments that apply to KU facilities used in the production of energy from coal. In addition to the projects describedabove, additional projects in KU’s 2016 Environmental Compliance Plan include installing improvements to theWet Flue Gas Desulfurization systems on Ghent Unit 2 and installing improvements to the mercury-related con-trol equipment of Ghent Units 1-4, thereby allowing additive injections to mitigate mercury emissions. The totalcapital cost of the new pollution control facilities for which KU is seeking recovery at this time is estimated to be$640 million. Additional operation and maintenance expenses will be incurred for certain projects in KU’s 2016Environmental Compliance Plan and are costs that KU is requesting to recover through the environmental sur-charge in its application.

The impact on KU’s customers is estimated to be a 2.06% increase in 2016 with a maximum in-crease of 3.35% in 2019. For a KU residential customer using 1,146 kilowatt hours per month, the initial monthlyincrease is expected to be $2.16 during 2016, with the maximum monthly increase expected to be $3.52 during2019.

The Environmental Surcharge Application described in this Notice is proposed by KU. However, thePublic Service Commission may issue an order modifying or denying KU’s Environmental Surcharge Application.Such action may result in an environmental surcharge for consumers other than the environmental surchargedescribed in this Notice.

Comments regarding KU’s 2016 Environmental Surcharge Plan and Application may be submitted tothe Public Service Commission through its Web site or by mail to the Public Service Commission, Post Office Box615, Frankfort, Kentucky 40602.

Any corporation, association, body politic or person may, by motion within thirty (30) days after pub-lication, request leave to intervene in Case No. 2016-00026. That motion shall be submitted to the Public ServiceCommission, 211 Sower Blvd., P.O. Box 615, Frankfort, Kentucky, 40602, and shall set forth the grounds for therequest including the status and interest of the party. Intervention may be granted beyond the thirty (30) dayperiod for good cause shown, however, if the Commission does not receive a written request for interventionwithin thirty (30) days of initial publication, the Commission may take final action on the application. Any personwho has been granted intervention may obtain copies of the Application and testimony by contacting KentuckyUtilities Company at 220 West Main Street, Louisville, Kentucky, 40202, Attention: State Regulation and Rates.

A copy of the Application and testimony is available for public inspection on KU’s website (http://www.lge-ku.com), on the Commission’s website (http://www.psc.ky.gov), and in paper medium Monday throughFriday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 pm at the office of Kentucky Utilities Company, 100 Quality Street, Lexington, Kentucky40507 or the Commission’s offices located at 211 Sower Boulevard, Frankfort, Kentucky, after January 29, 2016.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORTMayor and the City CouncilCity of Highland HeightsHighland Heights, Kentucky

Report on the Financial StatementsWe have audited the accompanying fi nancial statements of the governmental activities and the aggregate remaining fund information of City Highland Heights, Kentucky, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015, and the related notes to the fi nancial statements, which collectively comprise the City's basic fi nancial statements as listed in the table of contents.Management's Responsibility for the Financial StatementsManagement is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these fi nancial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of fi nancial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.Auditors' ResponsibilityOur responsibility is to express opinions on these fi nancial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to fi nancial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the fi nancial statements are free from material misstatement.An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the fi nancial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the fi nancial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the fi nancial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of signifi cant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the fi nancial statements.We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suffi cient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.OpinionIn our opinion, the fi nancial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective fi nancial position of the governmental activities and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Highland Heights, Kentucky, as of June 30, 2015, and the respective changes in fi nancial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Other MattersRequired Supplementary InformationAccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis, budgetary comparison information, and pension schedules on pages 3-9 and 27- 34 be presented to supplement the basic fi nancial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic fi nancial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of fi nancial reporting for placing the basic fi nancial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic fi nancial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic fi nancial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with suffi cient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing StandardsIn accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 14, .2015, on our consideration of the City of Highland Heights, Kentucky’s internal control over fi nancial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over fi nancial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over fi nancial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering City of Highland Heights, Kentucky’s internal control over fi nancial reporting and compliance .
