Students rejoiced as severalinches of snow changed North-ern Kentucky’s landscape,causing schools to close for upto a full week.

So what happens now?According to the Kentucky

Department of Education ateducation.ky.gov , studentsmust be in school a minimumof 1,062 hours, which equals177 six-hour days.

“In some school districts,the regular school day includesmore than six instructionalhours, and those districtschoose to use the extra timethey have ‘banked’ to offsethours missed due to inclementweather. Other districts have‘make-up’ days built into theirschool calendars in case theyare needed,” according to thesite. “Once a district hasmissed 20 days, it may requesta districtwide disaster dayfrom the Commissioner ofEducation.”

Another option for schoolsthat have missed 20 or moredays is a pilot program thatgives schools an online optionto make up missed days.

During the 2014-2015 schoolyear, Kentucky districts thatmissed 20 or more days wereeligible to apply for waiversthat allow the “use of virtual orother non-traditional means ofinstruction when school is can-celed because of weather oranother emergency. In mostcases, students will participatein the snow day lessons on-line,” according to an Oct. 10,2014, media release.

To receive a waiver, dis-tricts that missed 20 or moredays submitted applicationsthat described their plans forlearning while school was notin session. In the spring, thesame districts will submit doc-umentation of their participa-tion and measurements of stu-dent learning for the misseddays.

Thirteen districts receivedthe waiver.

Only one Northern Ken-tucky district, Grant County ispermitted to use virtual in-struction. Others in the stateare Boyle, Grant, Jessamine,Johnson, Lawrence, Leslie,Owsley, Pike, Taylor, Todd,Washington and Wolfe coun-ties, and Corbin IndependentSchools.

Campbell CountyCampbell County Schools

missed eight days, and has 13

weather makeup days for theschool year.

Because of President’s Dayand winter weather, there wasno school at Campbell Countythe week of Feb. 16-20.

“So, we have five moreavailable,” SuperintendentGlen Miller said.

With eight missed days,Campbell County’s school yearwill will now end June 3 insteadof May 21.

If more than five more daysare missed Board of Educationmembers may choose to lowerthe existing eight missed daysto five days, he said.

Campbell County has al-ready “banked” three instruc-tional days beyond state re-quirements so far, Miller said.

“We typically miss only oneor two days in March, so we donot anticipate using manymore makeup days beyondwhat we have already missed,”Miller said.

Weather has impactedsmaller Campbell Countyschool districts less. BellevueIndependent Schools havemissed four days for weather,and Fort Thomas IndependentSchools have missed threedays.

Fort Thomas will make upthe days at the end of the year,

FORT THOMAS — Moyer Ele-mentary School’s 1930s tanbrick front will be saved andrenovated as a newer additionin back will be demolished thissummer in favor of a new build-ing.

Fort Thomas IndependentSchools unveiled a two-yearplan Feb. 25 to renovate and re-build Moyer. The KentuckySchool Facilities ConstructionCommission pledged to pay thebulk of the estimated $20 mil-lion cost in September 2014.

School board members and

staff have since been weighingwhether to renovate or rebuildMoyer. A partial renovation andrebuild is what they came upwith.

“I think it’s the best solutionfor the site and it keeps the oldarchitecture which is what hasmade Ruth Moyer what it is,”said board chairwoman KarenAllen.

Technology including digitalwhite boards, wireless Internetand central air and heating ev-erywhere will be part of whatwill be new, Allen said. And anew gym, cafeteria and perfor-

mance stage will be de-signed similar to what isfound at Woodfill Ele-mentary School, whichwas opened in 2013, shesaid.

“It won’t be WoodfillNo. 2,” Allen said. “It willstill be Ruth Moyer and itwill still have that heartthat people in this com-munity are used to fromRuth Moyer.”

Fort Thomas residentHolly Collinsworth saidrenovating parts of RuthMoyer and building waswell thought out as shelooked over the plansFeb. 25. It creates a 21stcentury building whilesaving the school’s look,she said.

“I think the front partof this building, it lookslike we value education,and we do,” Collinsworthsaid.

Construction on a new550-student capacityMoyer is expected to be-gin this summer and taketwo years to finish, saidSuperintendent Gene

Kirchner. More familiesmoving into the districtincreased Moyer’s enroll-ment from 450 in 2011 to518 in the fall of 2014.

For years, higher localproperty tax rates andprivate donations fromthe Fort Thomas Educa-tion Foundation havehelped pay for buildingprojects including the al-most-complete High-lands High School reno-vation, Kirchner said.Highlands renovations,expected to be done bythis fall, have taken 10years, he said.

“It’s taken some timebecause it was so locallydriven,” Kirchner said.

Anyone suggestingKentucky would pay al-most all $20 million of thecost of a renovation ofMoyer would have beendisbelieved more than ayear ago, he said. It wouldhave taken 10 years forthe district to fund reno-vating Moyer withoutstate assistance, Kirch-ner said. Frankfort, andstate legislators, arestarting to reward localefforts to support educ-tion, he said.

“There is no place inKentucky that gets it likeFort Thomas,” Kirchnersaid. “They’re bought-inand all of this is return onthe investment.”

Next school year, stu-dents in upper grades atMoyer will be in 12 tem-

porary mobile class-rooms as the 1970s wingis demolished and the1950s section is rebuilt,he said. Students in pre-school and K-2 in the1930s part of the buildingwill be moved in 2016when renovations will be-gin, Kirchner said.

“The 1950s and 1970spart of the building reallyare not structurally near-ly as sound as this origi-nal school,” he said.“They built them betterin the 1930s. This is astructure that is a tank.”

A building designedfor 21st century technol-ogy and more spaces tobring back student per-formances to campus in-cluding the annual kin-dergarten circus will bean end result, said Princi-pal Matt Haskamp.

“We’ll be able to show-case our students better,”Haskamp said.

“We’re not going tohave students in the hall-ways working in smallgroups anymore,” hesaid. “We’ll actually havespaces for them.”

Out front, the twolarge trees, brick facade,and car and bus loop en-trance people see fromHighland Avenue will re-main, Haskamp said.

“This is an iconicbuilding in Fort Thomas,and not to be able to havethat would be a hard thingto swallow,” he said.

Kenton CountyKenton County stu-

dents will be attending alonger school year thanplanned.

“The Kenton CountySchool District has fivedays built in its schedulefor snow days or calamitydays as they’re known inthe district,” said JessDykes, director of publicrelations and communityengagement. “This win-ter, the district has usedseven calamity days. Theextra two days have beentacked on to the end of theschool year. The year wasoriginally scheduled toend May 27, now schoolwill be in session untilMay 29. Any more days atthis point will have to be

added on to the end of theyear.”

Beechwood Schoolshas missed three days ofschool this year due toweather.

“Districts are allowedto miss as many days asneeded,” said BeechwoodSuperintendent SteveHutton. “However, thedays need to be made up.We have our makeup daysidentified in our calendar.So far, we will be makingup one day on March 13.The other two days to bemade up will be on May 26and 27.”

The superintendentsaid Beechwood has onemore day identified in thecurrent calendar thatthey can be off for weath-er.

After that, they willneed to begin adding daysto the end of the year.

Although Beechwoodwas not eligible for thewaivers to make upmissed missed snow daysonline, Hutton is a fan ofthe idea overall.

“I think the virtual in-struction during snowdays is a great idea,” Hut-ton said.

Boone County

In Boone County,schools were closed sevendays due to weather. It’sundetermined whetherthe district will add daysto the calendar.

“Honestly, it’s a wait-and-see, take it one day ata time, situation for Ken-tucky public schools,”said Barbara Cain-Brady,community relations co-ordinator.

“We don’t ‘bank’ timeor days, but after missinga number of days, we doadd instructional time toeach school day to allowfor extended instruction,”said Mike Ford, BooneCounty’s director of pupilpersonnel. He is alsopresident of the KentuckyDirectors of Pupil Person-nel Association.

Ford said the extendedinstruction days are setuntil the local Board ofEducation amends theschool calendar to meetstate regulations.

Boone County’s unoffi-cial last day is June 1, butthe date could be changedif additional days aremissed.

ALEXANDRIA — City of-ficials have granted an ex-tension for Whistler’sPoint, 76 houses plannedby Fischer Homes whilethe developer is buildingthe 1,016-housing unit de-velopment Arcadia.

Mayor Bill Rachfordsaid no changes weremade to city-approvedplans from 2012 for Whis-tler’s Point. FischerHomes first proposedbuilding the Whistler’sPoint subdivision off Per-simmon Grove Pike in2006.

Atwo-year extension tostart construction usingthe site plan has been

Single family homes,town homes and condo-miniums are all part of Ar-cadia.

Homes being built inArcadia are selling from$200,000 to $400,000. “It’ssignificantly above theprice of the average housethat is in Alexandria,”Rachford said.

Rachford said he hasseen at least one street

with 30 houses in Arcadiawhere half are finishedand 15 more are nearingcompletion.

“I call it an anthill be-cause there’s stuff goingon in probably a dozen dif-ferent places,” he said.

Drees is working ontown homes and Fischer isworking on it’s condomini-ums and single family“patio” home now, saidMike Schoettelkotte, ad-ministrative manager forland development for theDrees Co. Buyers of townhomes also purchase theland, he said.

Silver Grove Indepen-dent School Districtcelebrated Read AcrossAmerica on Feb. 26 in

honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday. The theme of the event was

“Oh, the Places You’ll Go” inwhich whimsical Dr. Seussinspired student works filledthe entire first floor of thebuilding.

Families in attendance hadthe opportunity to participate

in a variety of interactiveactivities including: Leap intoLiteracy (games incorporat-ing literacy and gross motoractivities), a Dr. Seuss in-spired scavenger hunt, a Scho-lastics Book Fair, and a fifth-grade Presidential Timelinedisplay.

The family night broughttogether over 100 students,community members andstaff in a meaningful display

showing the importance of acommunity school connection.

The Silver Grove SchoolDistrict received a $500 grantfrom the Kentucky EducationAssociation (KEA) in honor ofRead Across America. Withthe allotted funds, the staff atSilver Grove was able to pro-vide each student in atten-dance one of Dr. Seuss’ fam-ous hardback books.

In addition to books, each

family who participated tookhome a bag filled with materi-als demonstrated in the Leapinto Literacy station to in-corporate gross motor activ-ities during homework ses-sions at home. With the help ofKEA, Silver Grove Indepen-dent School was able tostrengthen their community-school relationship and lookforward to another successfulfamily night in the spring.

When Lindsey Kearnswatched the Super Bowl half-time show on Feb. 1, there was alittle something more goingthrough her head than the spec-tacle of dancing sharks andflying stars.

“There was most definitely asense of pride as I was watch-ing, but also a sense of reliefthat everything went so welland turned out so beautifully,”says Kearns, a 30-year-old Tay-lor Mill resident and 2010 NKUgraduate.

Normally, fans are nervousduring the big game – not athalftime. Why was Lindsey onedge?

Because shewas one of twoNKU graduateswho helped cre-ate the animationfor Katy Perry’shalftime show.As part of Light-borne Communi-

cations, a video-productionservices company in Over-the-Rhine in Cincinnati, they helpeddevelop all the animated videoprojections for the nearly 13-minute show.

“I am in charge of makingsure that everything that iscreated or brought in to ourcompany – footage, graphics,

etc. – here at Lightborne isbacked up according to ourstandards,” she says.

On this project, she says she“was involved mainly in format-ting the files that the animatorswere creating to the specs thatwere needed. I was also in-volved in delivering these filesto the animators that were onlocation in both L.A. and Phoe-nix. Anything that the anima-tors needed from past projectsto help with their design I madesure they had, as well as prep-ping the hard drives taken onlocation with them, ensuringthat every piece of data was attheir disposal.”

The other NKU grad work-ing on the project was KevinGautraud, a 28-year-old design-er/animator who graduatedfrom NKU in 2011.

“Early on in the project, Ihelped in the technical 3Dlayout of the stadium and cam-era positions,” Kevin says. “Ialso helped research and build areally powerful workstation sothat we could render what wewere envisioning for the show. Ihelped texture and light thechessboard scene used during‘Dark Horse’ and created somelightning effects and variouselements used throughout.There is a lot of work that the

team did that no one will eversee because things change dur-ing rehearsals and whole sec-tions can completely change ordisappear.”

But these two were able tohelp create something seen bythe largest audience in SuperBowl history. And both creditNKU.

“I think that the graphicdesign program helped in amajor way,” says Kevin, whohas a Bachelor of Fine Arts ingraphic design. “The programtaught me that design is notprimarily concerned with aes-thetics, but clear and clevercommunication.”

MARCH 5, 2015 • CCF RECORDER • A7NEWS

I had to laugh when Bill Thomasof BBQ Review restaurant in Madi-sonville agreed to share the recipefor his iconic mac & cheese.

I heard Bill was closing his res-taurant (but keeping the railroaddining car adjacent to the proper-ty) so I gave him a call. Already Ihad several requests from readerswho were addicted to his mac &cheese and who asked me to get therecipe.

To give you a bit of history, Billand I started out our culinary ad-ventures about the same time wayback when.

Fast forwardsome 30-plus yearslater and now Billwants “to take iteasy.”

When I told himabout my readerswho can’t exist hap-pily without his mac& cheese, Bill said“I’ll share, no prob-lem, but it startswith 18 pounds mac-

aroni, 20 pounds of cheese, andmakes 120 pounds and no, I won’teven try to break it down!”

OK then. Well I fiddled with itand came up with a good recipehopefully close to Bill’s. I even fol-lowed his technique for cooking themacaroni and the cheese sauce.

I served this to my family, and Inever saw a bowl of mac & cheeseeaten so fast.

I hope you like it as much as wedo.

BBQ Review dishes out addictingmacaroni and cheese recipe

Clone of BBQ Review’s famous mac &cheese

If you want it “cheesier” add more cheese. This is morelike the old fashioned type, with a mild flavor. This recipedoubles or triples easily.

1//2 pound elbow macaroni - 2 cups dry1 stick butter - 4 oz.1/4 cup onion, diced fine 1/4 cup flourSalt and pepper to taste4 oz. regular, not low fat, Velveeta cheese, cubed4-6 oz. shredded cheddar, divided (I used a heaping cup,

probably more like 6 oz.)2 cups milk, warmed

Boil macaroni in salted water, drain, and set aside whilemaking sauce.

Over medium heat, melt butter and stir in onion. Cookuntil onion is translucent but not brown. Add flour, salt andpepper and whisk just until flour is light brown. Stir in milkand whisk until thicker and bubbly.

Remove from heat and stir in Velveeta and a little morethan half the cheddar. Stir in macaroni. The mac & cheese willbe very creamy and thickens as it sits. Sprinkle with rest ofcheddar.

Versatile cheese sauce: Sauce alone is a good all-purposecheese sauce.

Rita’s salt free Italian seasoning

Savory is herb of the year and one that’s underused. Ithas an aromatic peppery flavor, good in bean dishes (Germanscall it the bean herb) since it helps you digest beans. Whenyou’re ready to dry herbs this summer, use this recipe andyou’ll have a marvelous homemade blend.

Mix together:

3 tablespoons dried basil2 tablespoons dried oregano1 tablespoon dried marjoram1 teaspoon dried thyme1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed1 teaspoon dried savory1/2 teaspoon dried sage2 tablespoons dried parsley - optional

Why this blend is good for you:Basil is good for cardiovascular healthOregano and marjoram help keep joints healthy, and

fight colds and fluThyme is especially good for upper respiratory healthRosemary helps keep memories sharpSavory is a good salt substitute and helps dispel gasBoost your wisdom with sageParsley is good for kidney and liver health

A publication of

A8 • FORT THOMAS RECORDER • MARCH 5, 2015

Last fall, I attended a meet-ing in Detroit of other charita-ble pharmacy leaders. Ilearned that with the imple-mentation of the AffordableCare Act (ACA), we are allfaced with the same issues –sustainability, declining needfor services, and newly in-sured clients who cannot af-ford their high deductibles andco-pays.

I also realized that, unlikeus, the majority of the charita-ble pharmacies are financiallysupported by a hospital systemor parent organization.

From the beginning it’s beenour responsibility to seek outevery single dollar that wehave received. As a co-founderI have often said that I will diebegging for money.

By the summer of 2014 thenumber of clients we werehelping started to decline.

Before weexpanded ourprogram toanyone withinsurance andalways mind-ful of sustain-ability, wedecided toseek inputfrom St. Eliza-beth Health-care regardingthe need for

our service going forward.Because of their past supportand the fact that 70 percent ofour clients are St. Elizabethpatients, it seemed the logicalplace to start. Their answerwas positive.

Currently we are workingwith them to find ways tostrengthen our collaboration.In addition, we partner withother providers such as Health

Point, Christ Hospital andNorthKey.

We are excited to announcethat we have opened our pro-gram to anyone with insurancewith family income at or below200 percent of the FederalPoverty Level that resides inthe geographic boundaries ofthe Diocese of Covington(Boone, Campbell, Kenton,Grant, Owen, Carroll, Gallatin,Pendleton, Mason, Bracken,Robertson, Lewis, Harrisonand Fleming counties).

It’s become evident thatwhile the ACA has been verypositive for our community,there are still folks – especiallyour senior citizens – who can-not afford their premiums,high deductibles and co-pays.Our mission to help those un-able to pay receive medicationfree of charge remains thesame. It is our goal to help with

80 percent of a client’s medica-tion needs, thus freeing upmoney to buy other necessi-ties. It absolutely breaks myheart to hear of anyone, espe-cially senior citizens, choosingbetween housing, food, or life-saving medication.

Faith Community Pharmacyis a charitable 501(c)(3) phar-macy located in Florence.Pharmacy law prohibits usfrom charging our clients anddispensing controlled sub-stances. Because we are aCatholic organization we onlydispense medications in keep-ing with our faith. We focusmainly on chronic diseasestates – heart disease, highblood pressure, diabetes, men-tal illness, and breathing condi-tions. We cannot promise tohave all medications all thetime.

Since opening in 2002 the

pharmacy has dispensed medi-cation valued at nearly $33million to more than 6,000qualified residents of our com-munity. For an individual toreceive help we need a referralaccompanied with prescrip-tions from a health care pro-vide.

Once enrolled, clients withtransportation issues mayreceive help at one of our out-reach locations – Carrollton,Falmouth, Covington and New-port Community Action Cen-ters.

As a pharmacist I feel trulyblessed to have the opportunityto use my professional trainingto help those less fortunate.

Rosana Aydt is the co-founder andexecutive director of Faith Commu-nity Pharmacy. She is also a phar-macist.

Faith Community Pharmacy growing again

RosanaAydtCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST

The county attorney’s officegets calls from individuals andreceives motions filed by at-torneys concerning the ex-pungement or removal of con-victions from someone’s rec-ord. This article will explainwhat offenses may be eligiblefor expungement and the pro-cedure to have an offense ex-punged.

Before proceeding, it shouldbe noted that if your criminalcase was dismissed with preju-dice or you were acquitted ofthe charge(s), the charge canbe expunged 60 days after thedismissal or acquittal pursuantto KRS 431.076.

Felonies: Although mostfelony convictions cannot beexpunged, the opportunity forexpungement may be availableif the person charged complet-ed a pretrial diversion pro-gram instead of pleadingguilty. Completion of the pro-gram results in the chargebeing listed as “dismissed-

diverted.” Thislisting does notconstitute acriminal con-viction and thepersoncharged is notrequired to listthe dispositionon most em-ployment andlicensing ap-plications.Even though

there is no statutory procedurefor expungement of a felonythat was disposed of as “dis-missed-diverted,” the Ken-tucky Court of Appeals hasallowed for expungement un-der these circumstances.

Misdemeanors and Vio-lations (including traffic of-fenses): Most misdemeanorsand violations can be expungedexcept offenses involving sexor children. However, youcannot expunge a misdemean-or if you have had a felony,

misdemeanor, or violationconviction or if you have onepending against you since themisdemeanor conviction youseek to expunge.

A person can file for ex-pungement five years after thecompletion of the sentence (i.e.the date you were sentenced)or five years after the end oftheir probation – whichever islater.

It should be noted that al-though traffic offenses stay onyour accessible driving historyrecord for three years, thetraffic violation will stay onyour criminal record until it isexpunged. For some, like anapplicant for a commercialdriver’s license, a recklessdriving charge that is still onyour criminal record, no mat-ter how long ago, may be detri-mental.

Highlands junior guard Bri-anna Adler hit a pair of 3-pointbaskets and led all scorers with17 points. Eighth-grader ZoieBarth was next with 10.

Alex Combs had nine pointsand three steals for the Blue-birds, and McKenzie Leigh hadnine points and pair of blocks.Lydia Graves led Highlands(30-3) with eight rebounds.

Sadie Moore scored a team-high nine points for BooneCounty (17-14), and SydneyFoster finished with eight. TheRebels played all but two min-utes without starting seniorguard and leading scorer Alex-is Switzer, who suffered a kneeinjury early in the first quarterafter scoring two points.

Despite the adversity, theRebels led 20-18 at the break,but they scored just two pointsin the third quarter, allowingHighlands to pull away.

“I thought we played great,”Adler said. “We know Switzeris an impact player, but wecan’t let that affect us. We hadto use it to our advantage.”

The Bluebirds, ranked thirdin The Enquirer coaches’ poll,advanced to play top-rankedHoly Cross in Saturday’s 6 p.m.semifinal. Holy Cross elimi-nated St. Henry in Monday’stournament opener.

“You always want to play ateam at full strength, and younever want to see an injury likethat, especially in a senior’slast game,” Highlands coachJaime Richey said. “But wekept playing after being downby two.”

The season is complete forthe ninth-ranked Rebels.Fookes gathered the girls inthe locker room after the gameand told them that she was re-tiring after 30 years on theBoone County bench.

“It was pretty emotional, es-pecially after what happenedwith Alexis,” said Fookes, thewinningest high school basket-ball coach in Northern Ken-tucky history. “I told them itwasn’t anything they did. I toldthem it was time for me to go,

Hamilton Countyneeded 51 yearsbefore producing

an Ohio High SchoolAthletic Associationbig-school state basket-ball champion.

That was Elder in1973.

The team that gotclosest to winning a statechampionship beforeElder celebrated a 50threunion on Feb. 13. The1965 St. Xavier Bombersrode a remarkable 22-game winning streak –including wins over threeteams ranked among thestate’s top 10 – into thestate finals, where theylost by one point, 54-53,to Columbus South.

“Those are good mem-ories,” said Bob Arnzen,who was named the statetournament’s Most Valu-able Player. “There’s alittle bit of bittersweet. Itwas a good experiencefor all of us – the stu-dents and the school, too.I don’t bring it up veryoften, but when I talk topeople, the first thingthey want to talk about isthat game.”

The 6-foot-5 Arnzen, aFort Thomas, Ky., nativewho operates The OldeFort Pub there, and 6-2guard Joe Sadelfeld werethe only starters return-ing from a Bombersteam tha won the 1963-1964 Greater CincinnatiLeague championshipbefore losing in the sec-ond round of the tourna-ment. They lost to aHughes team led bysenior Bob Quick, whowould go on to play in theNBA and ABA.

“That had quite animpact,” Arnzen saidabout the affect of the1964 tournament loss onthe next season. “Yourealize how quick it canbe over. That was a shockto all of us. We’d had apretty good year.”

Arnzen’s classmate,Jed O’Connell, remem-bers that St. Xavier loston Feb. 29. “I remembertelling somebody that wewon’t have a game likethis next year, becausethere won’t be a Feb. 29,”he said.

The 6-1 O’Connellmoved into the next sea-son’s starting lineup as aguard, along with 6-4senior center Rusty Mar-tin and 6-2 senior guardJoe Speier. Unlike Arn-zen and Sadelfeld, theyhad to wait their turns incoach Dick Berning’ssenior-oriented approach.

“Players like Arnzenand Sadelfeld were ex-ceptional athletes,”O’Connell said. “I thinkthey started as sopho-mores.”

Berning had installedan offense known as the“Auburn Shuffle,” whichthat focused on the cen-ter playing a high postand setting screens at thefree-throw line elbowsfor cutters. O’Connellsuspects Berning’ssearch for the right play-ers to execute the of-fense played a role in St.Xavier losing at Dayton

Chaminade, 62-52, in thethird game of the seasonand at Elder, 44-43, inGame Four.

“Eventually, we got ittogether,” O’Connell said.“We seemed to be gettingbetter and jelling togeth-er.”

Some of the playersstill might’ve been ad-justing from football tobasketball, said Arnzen,an end on Tom Ballaban’sfootball team.

“I remember DickBerning let us have it,”Arnzen said. “He said,‘You’re not doing whatyou should be doing. Ifyou don’t want to play, I’llfind some other kids whowant to play.’ He got onus hard, but I think wedeserved it. We weren’tplaying as hard as we didlater. I think it fired usup.”

Starting with an 82-62win over Woodward, St.Xavier won 22 straightgames by an averagemargin of 15.8 points.

St. Xavier went 11-1 inthe GCL, including aredemptive 52-42 winover Elder.

O’Connell, an attorneywho grew up in HydePark, remembers St.Xavier being uncommon-ly lucky when it came toinjuries.

“That was anotherimportant factor,” hesaid. “There was nothingthat kept anybody out ofa game – maybe a coupleof turned ankles.”

St. Xavier went intothe tournament as thesecond seed behind With-row and rolled to a dis-trict championship,clinching with a 68-35win over Anderson inwhich Arnzen scored 28points and grabbed 17rebounds. That set up arematch with 21-2 Chami-

nade in the region semi-finals at Cincinnati Gar-dens. Arnzen scored 21points and led the Bomb-ers to a whopping 48-26rebounding advantagewith 19 in a 60-47 winover the team that wouldwin the next season’sstate championship.

“We were kind ofready for them,” Arnzensaid. “We had revenge onour minds.”

That set up a regionalfinal battle at the Gar-dens with the 23-0 Ur-bana Hillclimbers,ranked second in thestate by the AP and firstby United Press Interna-tional. Again, St. Xavierdominated the rebound-ing – with Arnzen beingcredited with 25 in onenewspaper story and 19in another – while Martinled four Bombers indouble figures with 21points in an 83-78 win.

St. Xavier became thefirst county team toreach the state semi-finals since Hughes in1955. The Bombers weredue to meet 25-0 LimaShawnee, on March 26 atOhio State University’sSt. John Arena.

Not only was St. Xavi-er trying to become thefirst Hamilton Countyteam to capture a big-school title, the Bombersalso had a chance tobecome the first Catholicschool in the state toaccomplish the feat.

“I don’t remembermuch talk about theCatholic-school thing,”O’Connell said. “I re-member the papers talk-ing about the last team toreach the semifinals wasHughes, but I don’t thinkwe went in with anymotivation to win be-cause of it.”

The Indians, led by 6-5

AP Player of the YearJeff Miller, had out-scored opponents by anaverage of 25 points.

Arnzen scored 22points with 13 reboundswhile limiting Miller to aseason-low 15, and Mar-tin held 6-8-1/2 DentonSullivan to just fivepoints as the Bomberspulled away in the fourthquarter for a 71-58 win.

Arnzen said, “Afterwe beat Lima Shawnee,we thought that was thestate championship.”

Instead, St. Xavierstill had to overcome a22-1 Columbus Southteam led by 6-1 Bill Bull-ock, an AP second-teamall-state pick.

For whatever reason –O’Connell suggests thatplaying the last game ofthe previous day andstaying overnight in ahotel while the Bulldogsgot to sleep longer intheir own beds – theBombers ended up shoot-ing a season-worst 38percent (19-of-50) fromthe field. Still, St. Xavierlimited Bullock to 11points and outreboundedSouth, 31-28, but fellbehind in the fourthquarter, 47-40, beforeputting together an 8-0run to take a 48-47 leadwith 3:20 to go.

South regained a 50-49lead before Sadelfeld,who was named to thetournament’s all-starfirst team, fouled outwith 1:48 to go.

“That hurt us,” saidArnzen, who watchedSouth open up a 54-51lead before he drove fora layup as time expired.South’s Mel Thompsontried to block the shot,risking a foul that wouldhave sent Arnzen to theline for the potentialgame-tying free throw,but the officials’ whistlesremained silent.

“I got hit,” Arnzen,who finished with 18points and 12 rebounds,told reporters after thegame. “I know that.”

“It was close, but Ididn’t hit him,” Thomp-son said.

Berning, who died in1995, was left to ponderwhat might have been.

“I guess I’d ratherlose by 30 than get beatthis way,” he said afterthe game. “These kindmake you wonder. Youalways think of thingsthat could have changedthe outcome.”

size is not the only factorin Cincinnati Reds CEOBob Castellini’s baseballdecisions. There’s a fanfactor, too, says AssistantGeneral Manager DickWilliams.

“Bob wants so badly tomake everyone proud ofthe Reds,” Williams said.“That’s why he’s madesome of the decisions hehas made.

“We rank in the middleof the league in atten-dance. In spending as apercentage of revenue,we are tops in the league.”

Williams explained thebusiness side of profes-sional baseball at the Flor-ence Rotary Club on Mon-day, Feb. 2. Roughly $125million of the Reds’ $175million goes into playersalaries, he said.

From a business per-spective, that means de-veloping players “to getas much as we can (fromtheir performance) be-fore they get to free agen-cy,” Williams explained.For example, the Redssigned promising catcherDevin Mesoraco to a four-year contract worth $28million.

The Reds must go toarbitration hearings withtwo other young players,ace reliever AroldisChapman and infielderTodd Frazier, becausethey could not come to

agreement on contractsprior to February.

“It can be a bit of a con-tentious process,” Wil-liams said.

In December the Redstraded starting pitchersMat Latos and Alfredo Si-mon, both of whom couldbecome free agents afternext seasons. The tradeleft the Reds short ondepth “but we have a lotof good arms we feel goodabout,” Williams said.“We’ve got a lot of goodyoung players but a fewifs … all could be a yearaway.”

One of the promisingprospects is Raisec Igle-sias, a Cuban signee whojoined the Reds in June.He performed well in theinstructional league andArizona Fall League, ac-cording to Williams. LikeChapman, he could start

or come out of the bullpen“but (Manager BryanPrice) knows he’s project-ed to be a starter.”

One of the “ifs” is thehealth of key players, Wil-liams said. First basemanJoey Votto and pitchersHomer Bailey and SeanMarshall all will be com-ing back from injuries.

Another “if” is of-fense. The Reds acquiredveteran outfielder Mar-lon Byrd from the Philliesto improve their offen-sive production. “Thatgives us a lot of options,”Williams observed.“From 1 through 7 in thebatting order, we willhave very good offensiveplayers.”

We all want a goodnight’s sleep, but forsome of us, sleep is hardto come by. If you expe-rience trouble fallingasleep or staying asleep,awakening too early ornever feeling rested,you are not alone.

Many adults experi-ence sleep disturbancesat some point. The Na-tional Institutes ofHealth estimates thatnearly 30 percent of thegeneral adult populationcomplains of sleep dis-ruption, and about 10percent has functionalimpairment in the day-time that is a telltalesign of insomnia.

Sleep helps yourbrain work properly.Sleep can also affectyour physical health,safety, and quality oflife. In children andteens, sleep supportsgrowth and develop-ment.

Thosewho lacksleep mayhave trou-ble mak-ing deci-sions,solvingproblems,control-ling emo-tions ormanagingchange.

Children and teens wholack sleep may haveproblems getting alongwith others. They mighthave mood swings, lackmotivation, or feel an-gry and impulsive. Theyalso may not be able topay attention which mayaffect their school per-formance.

An ongoing lack ofsleep has been linked toan increased risk ofheart disease, kidneydisease, high blood pres-sure, diabetes and

stroke. It also increasesthe risk of obesity.

Sometimes you canmake behavior changesto have a more restfulnight.

These changes in-clude following a reg-ular sleep schedule,creating a comfortablesleep environment,avoiding stimulatingactivities before bed-time and decreasing oravoiding the consump-tion of alcohol, caffeineand nicotine close tobedtime.

If you consistentlyhave trouble with un-settled sleeping pat-terns, talk with yourdoctor or health careprovider.

The pair have traveledextensively together andadventured to distant lo-cales with the U.S. AirForce.

“I didn’t go into the mil-itary with the idea of expe-riencing the world, but I’mglad I had that opportunityto go,” said Larry Dettmer.

Chris Dettmer said peo-ple usually have an idea ofwhere they want to go for atrip, but they don’t realizeall the complications in-volved in long-distancetravel planning.

“Even though cruisesare mentioned in the busi-ness name, we can helppeople with any kind oftravel,” she said. “We’re afull-service travel agencyand can help people with

flights, hotels, vacationpackages, travel insur-ance and rentals, as well asall the other associatedneeds. If you’re planning atrip online, no one is goingto tell you how to get apassport or how to renewone. We can help with pret-ty much anything you needfor your trip.”

Larry Dettmer said Ex-pedia cruiseshipcentersstarted in Vancouver andis slowly expanding. Thereare 40 locations now, butthe company has plans tohave up to 220 offices with-in five years.

Question: I would liketo grow some of my ownfruits at home, but I haveclay soil and not a lot of

sunshine insome areasdue tolarge trees.What doyou sug-gest?

Answer:Fruit cropscan usuallytolerateclay soils,as long asit’s not alow, wet

area. You will need toselect the sunniest loca-tion for your fruit cropsin order to get high-qual-ity, well-colored fruit.

Although growing fruitat home has many advan-tages, you also must plancarefully, follow certainrequirements for careand give your plantingsquite a bit of attention ifyou want to produce high-quality fruit.

Your success or failurewill depend on (1) avoid-ing low, wet sites; (2)selecting a sunny locationwhere cold air does notsettle and stagnate, toavoid late spring frosts;(3) choosing fruit typesadapted to Northern Ken-tucky conditions; (4) se-lecting varieties withsome disease and insectresistance; (5) adequatecontrol of weeds, diseasesand insects; and (6) ade-quate time working withthe plants to give yourplantings the care theyneed.

Northern Kentuckyweather, especially thefluctuating warmth andcold in spring, jeopardizeseven the best-maintainedfruit planting. Occasional-ly, extreme low wintertemperature or latespring freezes wipe outentire crops.

Choosing a siteinvolvesseveral factors. The loca-tion should be fertile andpreferably near thehouse. Fruit plants thrivebest in fertile soil but willgive good returns onaverage soil, especiallystrawberries and othersmall fruits. You can addorganic matter to the soilby mixing in heavy appli-cations of compost, ma-nure, decayed sawdust,etc. before planting.

In order to help withdrainage of your clay soil,the planting locationshould, if possible, behigher than surroundingareas and have a slope of2 to 10 percent so thatcold air, like water, willflow downhill and awayfrom the planting. If fruitplants are in a low place,fruit buds (flower buds)are more likely to be

killed by late frosts. When choosing fruit

tree varieties, and for tipson insect and diseasecontrol, refer to the publi-cation, “Disease and In-sect Control Programs forHomegrown Fruit inKentucky, Including Or-ganic Alternatives”(ID-21), which is availableonline or from your Coun-ty Extension Office.

Also, consider theadvantages of dwarf va-rieties. Dwarfed treesproduce the same qualityfruit as larger standardtrees. The principal ad-vantages of dwarf treesare: They bear fruit muchsooner; they bear lessfruit per tree, so there’snot so much fruit all atonce that it becomes aproblem, as often happenswith standard trees; fruitis usually larger and morehighly colored than in thesame variety on standardrootstocks; you can reachall parts of the tree easily,so that all operations maybe performed from the

ground or from a smallstepladder; smaller, lessexpensive spray equip-ment is needed; anddwarf fruit trees areeasier to prune, train orespalier than standardtrees.

As an environmentalconsultant, Brodnick as-sesses bat habitats for aliving. He examines landfor private clients and per-forms bat surveys forstate wildlife agencies.

He has seen the littledead bodies littering cavefloors and once-thrivingbat colonies shrinking

year after year. He knowsthese are the effects ofwhite-nose syndrome.

“It’s very disconcertingand depressing,” Brodnicksaid. “How many moreyears do we have of thesebats in these areas?”

The U.S. Fish and Wild-life Service estimatesmore than 5.7 million batshave died from white-nosesyndrome, having spread-throughout the Northeastand Midwest since first be-ing detected in New Yorkin 2006.

Ohio, Indiana and Ken-tucky are now on the frontlines, local scientists andwildlife managers say, andit’s important that peopleknow what part humans

can play in the contain-ment of the disease.

White-nose syndromeis a disease caused by afungus that predominatelyaffects bats during hiber-nation. Because the fun-gus sheds spores, it can becarried from bat to bat andfrom humans, who mayhave the spores on theirclothing or gear, to bats.

By the end of last year,white-nose syndrome hadspread through Ohio, Ken-tucky and Indiana. It’sbeen confirmed or sus-pected in 37 of Indiana’s 46caves and is decimating asmuch as 85 percent ofsome bat colonies in Ken-tucky, according to wild-life officials.

Seven bat species, in-cluding two endangeredspecies, have had con-firmed cases.

“The million-dollarquestion: How are somebats that should be ex-posed to the pathogenavoiding infection and

mortality,” said JonathanReichard, national assis-tant coordinator for white-nose syndrome for the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service.

Ohio has fewer caves,but mines serve as hiber-nating chambers for batsand the disease has beenfound in those, too, saidRichard Geboy, Midwestregional coordinator onwhite-nose syndrome forthe U.S. Fish and WildlifeService.

The disease was con-firmed in Ohio and Indianain 2011.

Most state-ownedcaves are now closed be-cause of the syndrome, al-though Indiana began a pi-lot program to allow somevisits to the caves inSpring Mill State Park.

But many privatelyowned caves and somepublic ones like MammothCave National Park still al-low visitors.

HOW DOES THEFUNGUS KILL A BAT?

A new study by the U.S.Geological Survey and theUniversity of Wisconsinreleased in January givesus a better understandingof how the fungus kills abat. The study found thatbats with the fungus useup twice as much of theirenergy while hibernatingthan healthy bats, duringa time when the batsmust carefully ration theirenergy to survive withouteating until spring. Thosethat are diseased use uptheir energy too quicklyand die. Right now thefatality rate is startlinglyhigh and could lead tothe extinction of somebat species.

WHERE DID THEFUNGUS COMEFROM?

The fungus is thoughtto be an invasive species,carried here from anotherpart of the world eitherby an infected bat, ormore likely by a person.Here in North America,transmission is primarilybat-to-bat but humanscan also unwittingly playa part. It was first detect-ed in February 2006 inSchoharie County, N.Y.,west of Albany.

WHAT IS BEINGDONE?

All that can be done isprevention and conserva-tion, promoting batreproduction and main-taining healthy habitats,but there are probioticand chemical treatmentsin development, ncludingforms that could go oncave walls or be sprayedonto bats.
