TAYLOR MILL – CMC Prop-erties, owner of The Farm atTaylor Mill, is seeking an expan-sion of the apartment complex.
CMC Properties presidentJim Cohen presented plans forthe development’s third phaseat the Jan. 13 city commissionmeeting. The expansion, hesaid, includes 48 multifamilyunits, 12 stand-alone rowhouses, and a new clubhouseand leasing office. Rent for amultifamily unit ranges from$800 to $900 and a row house’srent will be between $1,000 and$1,500.
CMC Properties is seeking azone change for the 6.7 acreswhere the development will oc-cur, behind the existing Phase 2portion of the development.
Zone change applications arefirst reviewed at a public hear-ing conducted by Kenton Coun-ty Planning Commission. Cohen
said they hope to have their ap-plication in for review at theMarch meeting. Upon review,the planning commission willmake a recommendation to theTaylor Mill City Commissionfor its vote on the zone change.That vote could come as early asApril.
“If things go as planned, weanticipate that we’d start theproject right away and that itwould take 10 to 12 months forcompletion,” Cohen said.
The 48 mutlifamily units willbe divided into two buildingsand will include a parking lot be-tween them with 96 or moreparking spots. Each row housewill include an attached two-cargarage and a driveway wideenough for four cars. The rowhouses will also be built in threeclusters of four units along OldTaylor Mill Road.

INDEPENDENCE – TheOhio Kentucky Indiana (OKI)Regional Board of Govern-ments has adopted an im-provement plan for Ky. 536.
This segment of the road-way, located between Ky. 17and the Kenton and Campbellcounty line, is the only re-maining section of the entirecorridor that does not have apreferred alternative or im-provement plan in place. In2015, the Ky. 536 ScopingStudy was launched.
The study’s project man-ager, Robyn Bancroft, said inaccordance with the public’sresponses, the project devel-opment team recommendedthe off-alignment option to theboard on Jan. 14.
“I truly believe that the en-tire KY 536 Scoping Studyprocess has resulted in a rec-ommendation that balancesthe concerns of local propertyowners who will be most di-rectly impacted by future im-provements with the transpor-
tation needs of region atlarge,” Bancroft said. “It hasbeen an honor working withcitizens, business owners andofficials throughout NorthernKentucky to conduct and com-plete the study.”
The off-alignment alterna-tive follows the existing Ky.536 east from Ky. 17 and shiftsnorth onto a new segment as itapproaches Ky. 16, redirect-ing traffic north of White’sTower Elementary School torealign with Ky. 536 near Mav-erick Road.
It follows the existing road-way until 1/2 mile west of Staf-fordsburg Road, where itturns north onto a new align-ment that connects directlywith the existing VisaliaBridge. This alternative isplanned as a three-lane road, asingle lane traveling in eitherdirection and a lane in the mid-dle to assist with turns, be-tween Ky. 17 and Staffords-burg Road.
From Staffordsburg Roadto the Campbell County line,the alternative would becomea two-lane road with the ex-
ception of a climbing lane thatwould be constructed to assisttrucks traveling westwardfrom Ky. 17.
To accommodate bikers,walkers and runners, Ban-croft said this alternative alsoincludes 8-foot multiuse pathson both sides of Ky. 536 fromKy. 17 to Ky. 16. East of Ky. 16, a10-foot multiuse path is in-cluded as part of this alterna-tive.
This alternative would costan estimated $86.5 million.With this option, 37 structurescould be affected and 137 par-cels of land, as well as 77 acresof farmland.
Funding has yet to be se-cured for the project. Accord-ing to Bancroft, the KentuckyTransportation Departmentnormally serves as the leadagency on projects of this re-gional level with support fromlocal jurisdictions.
A final study report is nowposted on the website,www.oki.org/536.

FLORENCE – Some-times Theresa Cook liveswith a Faustian choice:buy food to eat or pur-chase medicine that helpsher fight catastrophic ill-ness.
Cook, 57, has fibro-myalgia, high blood pres-sure, diabetes and de-pression.
“I need my medica-tion,” she said. “I alsoneed to eat.”
Thankfully for Cook,Faith Community Phar-macy is getting her thehelp she needs. This non-profit, volunteer-basedorganization providesmedications and pharma-ceutical care to those un-able to pay for such ser-
vices. It serves 10 coun-ties and it the only chari-table pharmacy inNorthern Kentucky thatprovides free medicine.
“I don’t know what I’ddo if it wasn’t for them.They’ve been really won-derful,” Cook said.“They’ve helped me quitea bit.”
Many of the prescrip-tion medications are do-nated by area physiciansand drug manufacturers,said pharmacy develop-ment director and volun-teer coordinator TaraLeen. However, othermedications such as insu-lin and generics must bepurchased. To purchaseprescription drugs fortheir clients and to keepthe pharmacy operation-al, Leen said the organiza-
tion depends on privateand business donations,grants and fundraisers.
“We work very hardfor every penny,” Leensaid. “Because we aresuch a unique service itcan be difficult for us toget funding. Most grantsrequire that you have anew innovative projectevery year. We providethis one service, but it is avital service for our cli-ents. We’re doing some-thing no one else is doingin the community.”
The pharmacy is locat-ed at 7033 BurlingtonPike, Florence, but alsohas seven different out-reach locations through-out Northern Kentucky,in partnership with theNorthern Kentucky Com-munity Action Commis-sion.
In March 2002, thepharmacy began as St.Vincent de Paul Commu-
nity Pharmacy.Executive director Ro-
sana Aydt, of Villa Hills,was one of the founders.Aydt, a retail pharmacist,said she and others recog-nized a need in the com-munity for a charitablepharmacy. The foundersworked with the Ken-tucky State Board ofPharmacy to change thelaw to allow local physi-
cians’ offices and phar-maceutical companies todonate samples to needypeople.
Since opening in 2002,the pharmacy has seenmore than 6,200 clientsand dispensed more than390,000 prescriptions.That’s more than $35 mil-lion in wholesale value.
“We’re helping thepoorest of the poor – those
who fall trough the healthcare cracks,” Aydt said.“I feel blessed to be a partof this organization.We’ve become extendedfamily to many. We reallyget to know those we helpand I feel we’re reallymaking a difference inthe lives of people.”

NORTHERN KENTUCKY RIGHT TO LIFE
On this anniversary of the infamous decision of the Supreme Court exercising its raw judicial power over the lives of the defenseless unborn, we join with a multitude of others in many cities across this nation, to carry the message of Life to President Barack Obama and to the 114th Congress. We join the over 100,000 people who marched in a circle of life around the capitol in Washington DC on January 22. As much as we would like to be there, for many it is impossible to travel to Washington. Again, we March on Paper. We openly lend our names to urge The adoption of a mandatory Human Life Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America. WE HAVE TAKEN A STAND! WE WILL NOT COMPROMISE! AND WE WILL BE HEARD!

HAVE WE FORGOTTEN WHAT AN ABORTION IS? A fi rst-trimester abortion is usually performed by suction and is known as an aspiration (or suction) abortion. In her book, Caught in the Crossfi re: A Year on Abortion’s Front Line, author Sue Hertz describes this type of abortion: “…the cervix is dilated with metal rods and a medical instrument called a cannula attached to a tube is inserted into the womb. The tube is attached on the other end to a suction machine, and when the machine turns on, the preborn baby is pulled out in pieces. “The dismembered body parts are sucked into a jar which sometimes has a cheesecloth sack to catch the fetal parts. The abortionist then scrapes the lining of the uterus to get out any pieces of the baby or placenta he may have missed. This is the most common abortion procedure in the United States.” Hertz described what the doctor did after the procedures: “… [the doctor] removed from the glass jar the cheesecloth sack which caught the fetal parts, dumping the parts into a basin at the end of the table, between [the patient’s] feet. ‘Two legs, two arms, two fi sts, a skull, a backbone, a placenta. We’ve got it,’ he announced. “The doctor needs to carefully search through the parts to make sure that every part of the baby has been removed. An arm or leg left behind could cause a terrible infection. In very rare, but horrifying cases, women have actually passed an arm or leg of their aborted child that was left inside them days after the abortion.”
A Change of Heart Graduating from medical school in 1976, Dr. Anthony Levatino, an OB/GYN, not only supported the so-called right of a woman to abort her child, but also was willing to proudly devote part of his practice doing fi rst- and second-trimester abortions. Struggling with fertility, Levatino and his wife decided to adopt, but soon discovered how diffi cult it was to adopt a newborn. “It was the fi rst time that I had any doubts about what I was doing because I knew very well that part of the reason why it’s diffi cult to fi nd children to adopt is that doctors like me were killing them in abortions,” stated Levatino, in an article published by LiveActionNews. In 1978, Dr. Levatino and his wife were fortunate to adopt Heather, after which they soon discovered that his wife was pregnant, and they had a son 10 months later. In June, 1984, the tragedy all parents dread occurred. Heather was hit by a car. “She was a mess,” he explained. “We did everything we possibly could. But she ultimately died, literally in our arms, on the way to the hospital that evening.” The fi rst D&E procedure after the accident, he describes: “I started that abortion, and I took that sopher clamp, and I literally ripped out an arm or a leg, and I just stared at it in the clamp. And I got sick. But you know something, when you start an abortion, you can’t stop. If you don’t get all the pieces - and you literally stack them up on the side of the table […] your patient is going to come back infected, bleeding, or dead. So I soldiered on, and I fi nished that abortion.” Feeling a change of heart, the doctor continued:
He ceased performing abortions.May God bless little Heather and her parents.

For the fi rst time in my life, after all those years, all those abortions, I really looked, I mean I really looked at that pile of goo on the side of the table that used to be somebody’s son or daughter, and that’s all I could see. I couldn’t see what a great doctor I was being. I didn’t see how I helped this woman in her crisis. I didn’t see the 600 dollars cash I had just made in 15 minutes. All I could see was somebody’s son or daughter. And after losing my daughter, this was looking very, very different to me.

FORT THOMAS – YMCA’sin Campbell and Boone coun-ties are in the midst of a fit-ness programs youth kick.
Campbell County YMCA inFort Thomas and R.C. DurrYMCA in Burlington eachadded boutique fitness classesincluding kickboxing and bal-let-inspired barre body andmuscle shaping classes.
In-Trinity, in which peoplework out on an incline slantboard, is the newest class add-ed at the YMCAs in Fort Thom-as and Burlington.
“We are the first Y in theworld to offer In-Trinity andthe first location outside ofCalifornia to offer it in NorthAmerica,” said Kathy Lehr,spokeswoman for the YMCA ofGreater Cincinnati.
Lehr said R.C. Durr has anew MyRide cycling classesthat integrates music with aninstructor and a virtual desti-nation. It brings a new dimen-sion to the cycling experience,Lehr said.
New ClimbMills stepmachines have been added atR.C. Durr and MyRide, Lehrsaid.
The YMCA is trying to bemore innovative and is bring-
ing in new programs, ToddHensel, membership experi-ence director at CampbellCounty, said of In-Trinity.“We’re going to be one of thefirst organizations in the areato offer that program.
“We want to be not onlytracking families, but alsoyounger adults who are intothose boutique style classes.”
TRX, a course started morethan a year ago, uses suspen-sion training developed by the
military, Hensel said. Pilates,Zumba and cardio and strengthtraining, and gentle yoga areother classes available.
A class called ResistanceIntervals Power Plyometricsand Endurance (R.I.P.P.E.D.) isone of the more challengingnew classes added last year,Hensel said.
“It’s a one-stop body shock,”he said.
Katie Steffen, 34, of FortThomas, takes barre classes
regularly at the YMCA.“I like it,” Steffen said. “It’s
an all-over body workout.” Barre instructor Gayla
Hawkes leads classes of wom-en in a series of stretchingmotions across a room withwood floors and a wall of mir-rors.
Low impact is the barregoal, Hawkes said.
“It’s core and lower-bodywork making long and leanmuscles instead of shortstocky muscles,” she said.
Campbell County YMCAFitness Coordinator NickHeiss teaches fitness bootcamp and cycling classes andprovides personal trainingsessions.
Heiss said he meets withpeople of all ages in individualsessions usually lasting abouthalf an hour.
“We go over their goals andfitness needs,” he said.
For older adults there areSilver Sneakers classes. Tradi-tional youth sports and swim-ming classes haven’t goneanywhere, Hensel said. Byadding more classes for youngworking professionals theYMCA is offering somethingfor everyone, he said.
“We don’t want to be knownas just a swimming gym,”Hensel said.

FORT THOMAS - Rubik’sCube, the 1980s puzzle culturecraze, takes Jonathan Nerz ofHebron as little as 20 seconds tosolve.
Nerz, 19, considers himself aslow “Cuber” when comparedto Lucas Etter, 14, of Lexington.Etter set the world record lastNovember of 4.9 seconds dur-ing a competition in Maryland.
Etter and Nerz were among85 “Cubers” at a Jan. 9 QueenCity 2016 Rubik’s Cube Compe-tition at Highlander Event Cen-ter in Fort Thomas. Nerz orga-nized the competition as a re-gional qualifier for World CubeAssociation competition.
Enquirer reporter Pat Bren-nan documented some of theaction in a video available atcin.ci/1P46iEI.
Nerz used a microphone toannounce Etter sitting down ata competition table in FortThomas.
“Don’t blink or you’ll missit,” Nerz said.
Most professional “Cubers”solve a full-size 3x3 Rubik’s inabout 10 seconds or less, hesaid.
Etter solved a smaller Ru-bik’s, a 2x2 cube, in 1.42 sec-onds.
“Cubers” find formulascalled “algorithms” for solvingRubik’s quickly online.
“A lot of it is just memoriz-ing those algorithms,” Ettersaid. “Really, you get betterwith practice.”
Rubik’s competitions reallystarted becoming popularagain in 2004, Nerz said. Therehad not been a sanctioned com-petition in Cincinnati for sever-al years, he said.
“Most of the Cubers are kidsin school, so they’ll come withtheir families,” Nerz said.
Covington Catholic HighSchool freshman Michael Kes-sans, 14, said he got his first Ru-bik’s in Christmas 2014.
“I had my dad’s old cubefrom the 1980s before that,”Kessans said.
Kessans said it took himabout an hour to solve his dad’scube for the first time. NowKessans practices daily.
“Once you get it in your mus-cle memory you just keep get-
ting faster and faster,” he said.Being a “Cuber” rubbed off
on Kessans’ friend Gabe Wain-scott, 14, of Crestview Hills.
Watching Kessans solve aRubik’s was “pretty cool,”Wainscott said. Fast action wasneeded for Wainscott to join inthe fun.
“Since he was too busy doinghis I couldn’t see it so I had toget my own,” Wainscott said.
Ryan Ennis, 12, of Crest-
wood, Kentucky, came to FortThomas with his mother as hissecond competition.
Ennis was one of many teensholding out a Rubik’s Cube forEtter to autograph.
“It’s like he’s a celebrity,”Paul Etter, Lucas Etter’s father,said.
Solving a Rubik’s is abouthaving fun, Ennis said.
“I like how not many peoplecan do it,” he said.

“We are excited to be able tooffer all NaviGo graduates up tohalf off tuition to continue theireducation at Thomas More.”

Gateway Community andTechnical College is named atraining and certification siteby the American Welding Soci-ety (AWS) expanding opportu-nities for Gateway welding stu-dents and potential employers.
Gateway’s recognition as anAWS Schools Excellingthrough National Skills Educa-tion (SENSE) training programgives Gateway graduates acompetitive edge in the jobmarket and provides employ-ers a pool of very desirable can-didates.
“SENSE is a nationally rec-ognized AWS certification de-signed by the top leaders in theindustry, nationwide, ensuringwelders are given standardizedtraining to meet the needs of to-day’s industry,” said Will Dona-hue, Gateway Welding Instruc-tor. Donahue trained for twoyears with the SENSE programat Whitney M. Young Job Corpsin Simpsonville, Kentucky, forthe U.S. Department of Labor.
“A lot of our students havedreams of relocating to otherparts of the country or may cur-rently live in Ohio. Along withtheir college education, thiswelding certification will fol-low them wherever they chooseto go. Gateway now providesstudents a pathway to national-
ly recognized credentials in theareas of welding they desire,”added Donahue.
Gateway offers nationallyrecognized welding certifica-tions in eight welding process-es (SMAW, GMAW, GMAW-Spray, FCAW, FCAW-S, GTAW,GTAW Stainless, GTAW Alumi-num), as well as training inwelding blueprint, weldingcode and inspection, thermalcutting processes, and healthand safety.
Students will be able to settheir own pathway in training.The program is broken downinto individual modules, allow-ing students to pursue a partic-ular area of certification. Forexample, a student may wantcertifications in three process-es, but not all eight. Upon suc-cessful completion, studentswill receive a certificationplaque listing the area of weld-ing being recognized and aprestigious, much sought after,AWS wallet card listing all oftheir nationally recognizedSENSE Level 1 welding certifi-cations. This card is a powerfultool when applying for work asa welder.
“AWS certification is one ofthe best ways to advance awelding career,” said DeeWright, Gateway dean of manu-
facturing and engineering.“This opens up opportunitiesfor increased wages, leader-ship roles and higher-level ca-reer challenges. This trainingalso prepares students to con-tinue their education beyondGateway and become weldingengineers and fabricators.”
Students in the program un-derstand the importance of thiscertification. Katelyn Bach-mann has been interested inwelding since she was a littlegirl working with family friendand nationally recognized art-ist Douwe Blumberg. Shelearned welding as art andplans to incorporate this intoher career aspirations. For themore immediate future, sherecognizes what this certifica-tion means to her job prospects.“I’ve got so many more oppor-tunities with nationally recog-nized certifications,” saidBachmann. “I also really appre-ciate how our instructors per-sonalize our learning experi-ence.”
Joseph Malloy, U.S. Armyveteran and Campbell Countyresident, will graduate from theprogram in 2016. At Gateway,Malloy says he has found “fo-cus and a career he loves thatwill provide for his family.” He,too, understands the value of
this certification in the high de-mand, high wage field of weld-ing. He is particularly interest-ed in construction welding.
Employers who are facing ashortage of employees withwelding skills as baby boomersretire will also benefit fromAWS certification at Gateway.Not only will they have a pipe-line of potential employees, butonce a welder receives AWScertification, she/he can main-tain records (certification)without having to be continual-ly trained and re-tested offer-ing employers tremendous costsavings.
“These are the types of pro-grams Gateway wants to offerour community,” said Dr. KeithBird, Gateway interim presi-dent. “Our mission is to servestudents by offering industryrecognized certifications anddegrees in high demand, highwage fields where they can be-gin their career immediatelyand/or complete and transfer toa four-year institution to fur-ther their career development.We serve employers by train-ing a well-qualified work-force.”

PUZZLE ANSWERS
JANUARY 21, 2016 • SOUTH KENTON RECORDER • 9ANEWS
Remember last week when Iwas harvesting greens frommy window boxes? Well, withthe thermometer reading 6degrees this morning, I don’thave to tell you that I won’t beharvesting any more greens
from them.Oh well, be-
fore too long I’llbe thumbingthrough the seedcatalogs whicharrive daily,thinkingthoughts ofspring. Yes, it’s along way off, butSuper Bowl isn’t.I wanted to
share a couple of fun and yum-my recipes to make your SuperBowl party memorable, re-gardless of whose team wins!
We always have a big crowdat our house, and it’s a traditionfor me to make homemadeglazed donuts. That recipe,with photos of happy little souschefs, is on myAbouteating.com site.
Guru in our backyard:Greg’s 2 ingredientbuttermilk ranch wings
I met Greg Grisanti,Frisch’s chef for research anddevelopment, at a veterans’garden event last summer. Wefound we had many similarinterests when it comes tofood. We both like to gardenand experiment with naturalfoods.
Greg lives in Clermont
County with his family and is agraduate of St. Xavier HighSchool. He went on to becomea classically trained chef atJohnson & Wales University.Alumni include Tyler Florenceand Emeril Lagasse, both ofwhom I’ve worked with, and Iput Greg right up there withthem, talent wise. He’s lots offun to cook with, and humble,too.
“I prefer to call myself agood cook,” he said. His re-search knowledge shows in therecipes he develops and finetunes for the restaurants. Likeusing real lard in their pies andmaking 80 percent of theiritems from scratch.
Greg was a guest on mycable show and he featuredrecipes made with Frisch’singredients. I wanted partyfood that was easy and delish.We were both happy with thesewings, which I’m now addictedto. I think you’ll be making
them often, too. You’ll use twoout of three of the wing parts.Here’s my slight adaptation.
3 dozen or so chicken wings,cut into 3’s (save small pointedwing joint for stock)
16 ounce jar of Frisch’sbuttermilk ranch dressing
Optional add-ins: chipotlepepper sauce, ground cayenne,garlic
Preheat oven to 375.Place wings in a 2 gallon
baggie. Pour in dressing,squeeze air out, and seal. Gent-ly massage bag to incorporatedressing with wings. Marinatefor several hours in the refrig-erator; overnight is best. Re-move wings from bag and putin a colander to remove excessdressing. (Now I did not re-move the dressing; I justpoured the wings in a singlelayer on a baking sheet). Placewings on sprayed cookie sheetand bake 40 minutes or so,depending on the size of thewings, until cooked through
and golden brown.Serve with Frisch’s blue
cheese dressing as a dippingsauce along with celery sticksif you like.
Baked jalapeno poppersPerfect party food with a
spicy bite. A perennial fave.1 pound nice size jalapenos,
halved and seededFilling:8 ounces cream cheese1 cup shredded sharp ched-
dar1 cup shredded Jack cheese6 bacon strips, cooked crisp
and crumbled1/2 teaspoon garlic powderSalt to tasteBreadcrumbs, regular or
PankoPreheat oven to 325. Blend
everything but breadcrumbstogether. Put about 2 table-spoons into each half and rollin crumbs. Place on sprayedbaking pan and bake for 20 to35 minutes. The longer you
bake them, the milder theybecome.

Readers want to knowNatural and Dutch cocoa -
what’s the diff?Without getting too tech-
nical, the difference is acid.Natural cocoa powder: the
more common one, is cocoathat does not have its acidstripped. It’s a light cocoa colorwith a bitter flavor.
Dutch processed/alkalized:is a darker color due to a potas-sium solution that neutralizesthe acidity. It has a mellower,less bitter flavor.

Kentucky deservesschool choice
As a small businessowner and a proud Ken-tuckian, I want to see ourgreat state not only suc-ceed, but compete on anational level. Accom-plishing that goal startswith improving educa-tion.
An educated workforceis key to both a state’s anda business’s success. Un-fortunately, educationdisparity is becoming anepidemic. Kentucky stu-dents deserve the chanceto succeed, but our cur-rent system lacks theresources to fix its ail-ments and educate thosemost in need.
That’s where schol-arship tax credits have animportant role. Individ-uals, businesses andbanks donate funds to acharitable organizationthat provides needs-basedscholarships for childrento attend the non-publicschool of their parents’choice. This solution en-sures that all students,despite their economicstanding, have the oppor-tunity to obtain the educa-tion they deserve at aschool of their choice.
A measure touted byEdChoice KY, a 501(c)(3)educating the common-wealth on Scholarship TaxCredits, would allow con-tributions to organiza-tions seeking to supportfamilies in need who wishto send their children toprivate schools and or-ganizations seeking toimprove the public educa-tion system.
This movement is ahuge step toward helpingKentucky students, theirfamilies and their busi-nesses. Twenty-ninestates in the nation – in-cluding our neighboringstate of Indiana – havesome form of schoolchoice. This legislation isan opportunity for Ken-tucky not only to be com-petitive in the businessrealm, but also to make along-term investment inthe future of its mostpromising citizens.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
I’m sitting in a presentationby one of my Leadership Cin-cinnati classmates at the My-ers Alumni Center at the Uni-versity of Cincinnati and Ican’t believe my ears.
Ryan Adcock, executivedirector of Cradle Cincinnati,tells our class that the localinfant mortality rate (IMR) isamong the worst in the nation,in the top 10 percent of thecountry.
As a volunteer for UnitedWay, I was aware that povertywas a huge problem for ourcommunity, where nearly halflive below the poverty line(46.3 percent). But I didn’tknow how bad the infant mor-tality rate was.
I learned the IMR is mea-sured by the number of infantdeaths for every 1,000 livebirths in a defined area.Health professionals considerthe infant mortality rate a keyindicator of overall healthstatus of a community.
The United States’ IMR is5.98 percent. To put that inperspective, the national IMRfor Japan is 2.3. England’sIMR is 4.2. At 5.98, the UnitedStates’ IMR ranks 27th among“wealthy” countries, behindplaces like Canada, Korea,Poland and Slovakia.
How bad is it here? In partsof our Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky region,the IMR is nearly twice thenational average. The IMR inHamilton County over thepast four years averaged outto 9.5 percent. In Kenton
County, theIMR is 9.8percent. Whilewe’ve madesome stridesin the recentpast, it’s stillpretty bad.
Accordingto CincinnatiChildren’sHospital Med-ical Center’swebsite, in our
region, “On average, one babydies every three days.”
Health care officials andpublic policy experts will tellyou, the overwhelming reasonwhy our babies are dying at ahigher rate is due to pretermbirths. According to Adcock,“Nearly 75 percent of infantdeaths were babies that wereborn too early.”
He went on to say, “Weknow reducing the amount ofpreterm births will have thebiggest impact in reducing theinfant mortality rate. We alsoknow that educating the pub-lic on the issues contributingto preterm births will go along way to achieving thatgoal.”
Then he shared a term thatI had never heard before.Spacing.
I would not be surprised ifyou hadn’t heard of spacingeither. It was a new term forthe majority of our leadershipclass.
Spacing refers to the“space” between pregnancies.
According to health offi-
cials, it is recommended therebe at least one year betweenpregnancies.
That’s one year, from thetime a baby is born, beforeanother pregnancy occurs.
Why? Because the traumathe female body goes throughduring a pregnancy is severeand the body needs time torecover. Without that recoverytime, the odds of prematurebirth dramatically increase.
Pregnant women whosmoke are also an issue. Smok-ing is not only bad for themother, it is particularly badfor the child. Mothers thatsmoke are more likely to havepremature births and an in-creased chance of infant mor-tality.
Finally, another contrib-uting factor to the infant mor-tality rate is how babies sleepafter they are born. The safestway for a baby to sleep is onhis back, in his crib, and alone.When new mothers sleep withtheir babies, they can puttheir babies at serious risk.
Of course, these aren’t theonly reason babies are bornprematurely, or the only rea-sons for infant mortality. In-fections, stress or geneticscan all be contributing fac-tors. Healthy women, whotake every precaution and doeverything right, can stillhave a premature birth.
But despite the data, one inevery five babies are con-ceived less than 12 monthsapart.
It seems to me that our
community isn’t informedabout the issues contributingto infant mortality, and thatneeds to change.
As Dr. Lynne Saddler, dis-trict director of health for theNorthern Kentucky Indepen-dent District Health Depart-ment, points out, “Anythingthat is going to cause a baby tobe born too early or too smallis going to put that baby atrisk for a poor outcome. So,the healthier the mom can bebefore and during pregnancy,the better.”
I’m hoping you’ll helpspread the word. Talk about itat your church, school, Rotaryor business group. Heck, in-vite Ryan Adcock to comespeak! He is a terrific speak-er, and very passionate aboutthe issue.
This information needs tobe continuously shared, espe-cially in high poverty areaswhere education and access tocare is a struggle.
As we collectively spreadthe word about the issues ofspacing, smoking and howbabies should sleep, we willbegin to see a reduction inboth costs and collectiveheartbreak.
This is one more way wecan improve the state we arein.

Did you know that everylocal stream has a story?These stories tell us why ourstreams are in good, poor oreven ever-evolving states andprovide clues about how toimprove and preserve them.
A team of environmentalscience experts at SanitationDistrict No. 1 (SD1) workshard to learn these storiesand uses them in our effortsto enhance and protect North-ern Kentucky by providingreliable waste water andstorm water managementservices.
Starting this month, 13 highschool juniors from Bellevue,Dayton, Holmes, Ludlow,Newport and Walton-Veronawill meet with SD1 employeesmonthly until their seniorgraduation. In these meet-ings, students will learn howunfolding such stories arevital to our region’s success.They’ll explore a variety of
environmentalscience ca-reers. And,most impor-tantly, they’lldiscover moreabout theirvaluable pur-pose in ourcommunity –an opportuni-ty made pos-sible throughthe collabora-
tion of three organizations –SD1, NaviGo and Skyward –that believe in empoweringour youth.
The 13 students who’llmeet with a NaviGo Coachand SD1 scientists are part ofa NaviGo Scholars Futuresprogram focused on environ-mental science. Started byTim Hanner, NaviGo offersstudents everything fromcareer and academic coach-ing to company matches for
real-life work experienceslike the one with SD1.
Through the program Na-viGo is linking these studentsto environmental scienceprofessionals working at SD1.While learning about our com-munity and the careers thatexist within the environmentsciences realm, they will haveexposure to hands-on learningand the real-life communitychallenges SD1 faces. Longterm, they are building last-ing mentorship networks thatwill help propel their careersforward when the time comesfor them to enter the work-force.
Helping to make this expe-rience possible is Skyward,the group behind NorthernKentucky’s strategic plan.Skyward’s president, WilliamScheyer, saw this collabora-tion as a way to connect stu-dents with experts in theirfields of interest, and ulti-
mately feed the local work-force pipeline. It has beenshown that students who findtheir purpose, and map out apath for fulfilling it, not onlythrive themselves but alsohelp our community thrive.
What if we all had experi-enced something similar tothe NaviGo Futures programin high school to help us bet-ter connect with our purpose?Where would we be today?How would Northern Ken-tucky be different? SD1, Navi-Go and Skyward are passion-ate about helping students ofall ages – whether in or out ofschool – explore and discovertheir purpose and you canhelp too. If you would like toget involved, I encourage youto visit navigoprep.com tolearn more. It’s never too lateto help a student discovertheir purpose.

Last week’s questionWhat changes, if any, would
you make to the primary system(or in the case of Kentucky Re-publicans, their new caucussystem) for choosing presi-dential candidates?
“Not necessarily limited tothe primary system, ratherour entire election system, Iwould make the whole thingshorter. My proposal wouldstate that the ‘election cycle’will start no more than threemonths prior to the election.
One week to register as acandidate, one week to BS thepublic via media, two weeks tohold the primaries (all ofthem), two months to furtherstate your case to the votingpublic including one debate
per month, one day off andthen the election is held. Oneadditional refinement to thisincredibly practical planwould be that political adswould be run on one specialchannel only, 24/7. If people
want to hear all the BS theycan choose to turn on thatchannel for enlightenment.
“Oh, two more terrific re-finements that I know you willlove, they are beautiful: 1)Term limits. Two terms anddone, then go get a real joblike the rest of us. 2) No pen-sions, no continued salary forlife, no special health careprogram other than thoseoffered to common folks. It iscalled public service for areason.”

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS –The Holmes boys basketballteam has had its ups and downs,represented by the team’s 8-7record after falling 60-47 toCooper Jan. 15. That was part ofthe Bluegrass-Buckeye CharityClassic at the Bank of KentuckyCenter.
Cooper junior guard DanteHendrix guarded Holmes sen-ior guard Markel McClendon,who came in averaging 22points per game. McClendonscored 12 for the game, two inthe second half in which Cooperoutscored the Bulldogs 35-27
“He’s a tough person toguard,” Hendrix said. “He’s oneof the hardest players to guardin our region. We know he canmake shots. I like doing that andtrying to do my part, trying tohold him down and make otherplayers beat us.”
Holmes head coach MikeListerman said the team’s sec-ond-half struggles havecropped up from time to time.
“The other guys got to pick itup,” he said. “Big guys need torebound. When the shot’s taken,that’s a pass to me. Go get thething. Lately that’s the waywe’ve been, one night we’ll re-
bound the heck out of the balland the other night we don’t.”
A 3-pointer by Holmes sen-ior Brennon Englemon cut thelead to five in the fourth quar-ter. Cooper sophomore AdamKunkel answered right backwith a trey to make it 47-39.Holmes sophomore RaavaiCommodore drove for a layup,and Kunkel came right backwith a drive to keep the lead ateight.
Holmes trailed by five athalftime and could not make thebig run to get back in the game.
“I didn’t think we had the pa-tience that we needed to,” List-erman said. “I don’t think wehad the energy we normallyhave. I kept trying some differ-ent combinations, different de-fenses, tried to find some spark.Whatever we tried didn’t workfor very long. (Cooper was) cer-tainly the better team and theydeserved to win.”
McClendon led Holmes with10 at the half. Englemon postedsix. Englemon, who led Holmeswith 18 points for the game, wonMVP and scholarship honorsfor the Bulldogs in the game.
The Bulldogs tip off atBeechwood Jan. 26 and at homeagainst Covington Catholic Jan.29 to finish the district seedingprocess in the 35th District.
Holmes has lost to rival HolyCross this season.
Holmes has had a toughschedule with several losses todownstate teams and a priorone to Cooper.
“When we play well, we lookreally good,” Listerman said.“This is a good group of kids nomatter what.”
Behind McClendon, Holmeshas six players averaging be-tween five and eight points pergame in Arnold, Commodore,Engleman, Jordan Daniels, Jai-den Greene and BrandonMoore. Arnold is the top re-bounder at six per contest.
Scott fell 58-29 to rival DixieHeights in the first game of theshowcase. Jake Ohmer scoredScott’s first 13 points of thegame and ended with thatamount. Nelson Perrin wasnamed the team most valuableplayer for the game. CJ Seaywon the scholarship presentedby the event organizers.

FLORENCE - He is not onlythe voice of Boone County HighSchool and Thomas More Col-lege, but H.B. Deatherage hasdevoted the rest of his time tobeing the voice of Kentucky mil-itary veterans.
Deatherage is the director ofthe Kentucky Veterans Hall ofFame, which had its first induc-tion in 2014 and will welcome itsnewest group this September atthe Frankfort Convention Cen-ter. The hall of fame has a per-manent place in the state capitolbuilding in Frankfort.
“I travel the state,” Deather-age said. “I go to VFW halls andRotary club, wherever I need to,to spread the word. The re-sponse has been tremendous.Last year we had 60 peoplenominated, and we only select20 a year.”
Projects such as that ledDeatherage to be honored by theNorthern Kentucky Sports Hallof Fame in December with its an-nual Bill Cappel Volunteerismaward, honoring outstandingcommunity and volunteer ser-vice. Cappel was a Covington na-tive and longtime philanthropist.
In his acceptance speech, hetalked mostly about the hall offame, which has been his top pri-ority as he battles health issuesstemming from his own militaryservice.
“We want Kentucky to leadthe nation and get this started, inevery state,” he said. “It’s not ajob we work one month in a year;it’s every day.”
Deatherage is also in theNorthern Kentucky Athletic Di-rectors Hall of Fame and East-ern Kentucky University’s hall.An honoree of the Kentucky Col-
onel designation, he was a torch-bearer for the 2002 Salt LakeCity Olympics.
He created the current Rebelmascot at his alma mater, BooneCounty High School, and helpedbring the Florence Freedomprofessional baseball franchiseto the area. He is the PA an-nouncer for Boone County andThomas More College homeevents.
Deatherage said the veteranshall of fame is one of only sevenof its kind in the nation, and hehopes to make it a national en-
terprise.The organization is a non-
profit 501(c)3 and can only con-sider veterans who are submit-ted to them by others. Only aperson’s post-military life andcommunity service is consid-ered, and names are removedfrom applications when re-viewed by the committee.
“We’ve had brigadier gener-als, commanders, cooks, pri-vates,” Deatherage said. “Rankmakes no different to us, it’swhat they’ve done after.”
The hall of fame gets no cor-
porate sponsorship and relies onprivate funding. Deatheragesaid he had a great working rela-tionship with the previous ad-ministration in Frankfort andhopes that continues after therecent inauguration of Republi-can Matt Bevin. Bevin’s lieuten-tant governor, Janean Hampton,was already inducted into theVeterans Hall of Fame beforeshe ran for office, and Bevinwas an Army captain.
“He was quoted on TV as be-ing very proud of (Hampton) forthe hall of fame,” Deatheragesaid. “That’s good; that means heknows we’re here, so hopefullythat’s a good sign.”
For more information on theveterans hall of fame, visitwww.KyVeterans.org.
Joe Brennan, the president ofthe NKY Sports Hall of Fame,also was a recipient of the BillCappel award. He helped Death-erage start the veterans hall offame and has been an importantarchivist of Northern Kentuckyhistory, running the sports hallof fame and working with theBehringer-Crawford Museumin Devou Park on a variety of ex-hibits.

Many of us start theNew Year with the in-tentions to make thisyear different. We oftenmake New Year’s resolu-tions which focus onimproving our health,reducing stress or savingmoney.
Although we are just afew weeks into the NewYear, we have probablyalready found that un-fortunately, good in-tentions alone will notlead to a change. To besuccessful you need todevelop a plan to makethis year different. A
NewYear’sresolu-tion issimply agoal thatyou setfor youand yourfamilyduringthe next12months.
As with any goal, thefirst step is to write itdown. It can be as simpleas one to three sentencesthat address what you
want to accomplish andwhen you want to ac-complish it. Make certainthat your New Year’sresolution is attainable.Many of us may want towin the lottery, but this isnot something that isrealistic for most, somake certain your goal iswithin reach.
Post your goal in avisible place that willserve as a daily reminderto what you are workingtoward. This might be inthe laundry room or onthe refrigerator door.
Next, develop a game
plan. What steps do youneed to take to accom-plish your goal? If yourgoal is pay off a specificamount on your creditcards, how much do youneed to save per month?Identify some areaswhere you can reduceother expenses to havethe additional money topay on your credit cards.Can you set up automaticpayments to make iteasier to make the extrapayment?
There is no doubt thatmany New Year’s resolu-tions fail due to unfore-seen obstacles. Take afew minutes to identifythe obstacles which maylimit your success. Iden-
tifying potential obsta-cles before they occurmay help you develop agame plan to overcomethe obstacle.
Think about how youmight avoid the obstacleor what resources youhave that could help youovercome the obstacle.For example, if yourresolution is to reduceyour credit card debt,maybe your first stepshould be to save a smallemergency fund, such as$500 or $1,000, so thatwhen a financial obstacleoccurs, you can use cashinstead of your creditcard.
Track your progressand recognize small ac-
complishments as youachieve them. Do not feeldiscouraged if you needto rework your gameplan. The most importantthing is to not give up. Ifyou miss a milestone orhave a minor setback,take the opportunity tolearn from the obstacle.What went wrong? Whatcould you have donedifferently? Use thisinformation to rewriteyour plan of action tohelp you stay on track toaccomplishing your fi-nancial goals.

FLORENCE – Want tohelp students learn aboutsubstance abuse while us-ing social media for cre-ative contests that alsohelp community organi-zations?
There’s an app for that. The Northern Ken-

The Alliance is a coali-tion of agencies, countyorganizations and govern-ment entities throughoutNorthern Kentucky’seight counties.
“With the rise of heroinand prescription drugabuse in our region, now isthe time to pull togetherand PUSH back,” accord-ing to the organization’s
website,www.impushing.org. Thewebsite complements thefree new app, which willbe available in January.
The group’s challengesand information will usethe hashtag#push2change.
“We’re inciting teens toembrace and express pos-itive values through so-cial media challenges,”

If you made a commit-ment to lose weight onceand for all this year, youmight want to add reduc-ing stress to caloriecounting. Studies areindicating that peoplewho experience signifi-cant amounts of stress ona regular basis weighsignificantly more thanthose who combat stressin healthy ways. Sciencehas now proven that veryspecific things happen inour brain when we areunder “stressed out.”
When our bodies areunder duress, our “hun-
ger hor-mones”can veryeasily getoff bal-ance andsendcrazysignals toourbrain,prompt-
ing us to eat more simplesugars and signaling thatwe are never full.
To add insult to injurythe stress hormone, corti-sol, is released in massivedoses in our body when
we are stressed and re-searchers now think thatduring this time more fatcells are created. Andmore fat cells are createdto hold more fat.
There is good news tobalance the bad. First ofall, you don’t need a pre-scription – in contrast towhat many commercialswould like you to think –to block the cortisol orregulate your hormones.Why? Because food isnature’s drug and choos-ing the right foods will dothis automatically. Eat theright foods and you can
keep your hormones,your waistline and yourstress in check.
Try adding the follow-ing goodies to your gro-cery list next week. Allare proven to help reg-ulate hormones and bal-ance stress (and there-fore help you lose weight:
» Bananas – Full ofpotassium and vitamin B;heavy hitters in fightingstress.
» Leafy greens –These combine calciumand magnesium whichare proven to relax mus-cles and have calming
effects on your brain.» Fatty fishes – Load-
ed with Omega 3’s whichboost happy hormones inour brain, like serotonin,and regulate the releaseof cortisol.
» Nuts – Raw al-monds, especially. Packedwith magnesium, zinc,vitamins B and E, andhealthy oils to boot. Justtwo or three servings perweek are all you need tohelp manage stress anddrastically lower yourblood pressure.
» Mangos – A virtualvitamin C powerhouse,mangos naturally reduceblood pressure.
» Avocados – Onceagain, the presence ofpotassium and healthyfats, make avocadosgreat for weight loss andstress reduction.
As with all issues inlife, we were never
meant to succeed withoutGod’s influence, whichcomes directly from HisWord.
His word is our suste-nance and our most po-tent stress reliever. Hereminds us during timesof stress, “Cast all yourburdens on the Lord, forHe cares for you” 1 Peter5:7. And when I feel Ican’t go on, He says;“Come to me all of youwho are weary and carryheavy burdens, and I willgive you rest” Matthew11:28. Cast your cares onthe Lord, and spend alittle more time in theproduce department thisweek. Watch the weightand the stress fall offyour body.

Reduce stress and lose weight, automatically
Julie HouseFAITH NOTES
FLORENCE – Ken-tucky Senate PresidentRobert Stivers believestax reforms are needed tomaintain a healthy livingenvironment in the com-monwealth.
“We need to expand thetax base and increase op-portunities,” the LondonRepublican said. “Weneed to attract more busi-nesses and people into thestate.
“I don’t want to see thepeople in this room paymore taxes. I want to seemore people in the roomwho are paying taxes.”
Stivers spoke to theFlorence Rotary Club onOct. 19 about issues fac-ing the Kentucky GeneralAssembly next year.Among the most pressingare tax reform, pensionreform and health care,he said.
Reforming tax policieswill encourage invest-ment, employability andeconomic growth, ac-cording to Stivers. To il-lustrate, he pointed to achange in taxes on thebourbon industry thatcost the state $12 millionin revenue but stimulated$750 million in invest-ment in expansion of theindustry.
“The net expansionwas good for the economyalthough we lost tax dol-lars,” Stivers said. “Agood business environ-ment is crucial to encour-age people to come to thestate.”
The state Senate presi-dent said it will take a bi-partisan effort to resolvethe commonwealth’s ex-tended pension liability.He estimated costs to
maintain the two statepension systems collec-tively will rise by morethan $400 million a year.
“I’ve told people inboth houses (of the statelegislature) we need tomake some quick deci-sions to make ourselvescompetitive globally,”Stivers said.
Stivers called the Af-fordable Care Act, thefederal legislation to pro-vide health insurance toall U.S. citizens, “a laud-able effort, but it doesn’twork.” The KentuckyHealth Cooperative,which sold roughly 75percent of the policiespurchased through thestate insurance ex-change, closed earlierthis month because it waslosing so much money.
More than 51,000 Ken-tuckians will lose theircoverage at the end of thecurrent enrollment peri-od, according to Stivers.The problem stems inpart from how much thefederal government paysproviders, he said.
Stivers estimated theKentuckians insured bythe Kentucky Health Co-operative will see theircosts increase 30 percentto 100 percent if theyswitch to a new providerin the Kynect health in-surance exchange. Healso predicted the ratesfor others insuredthrough the exchange willsee increases up to 30 per-cent.
“That’s not good forbusiness in the state,” Sti-vers said.

Question: What is theadvantage of having acold frame? Is it too latein the winter to start one?
Answer: A cold frameallows you to extend thegardening season andenjoy fresh vegetables attimes when others with-out a cold frame couldnot. A hotbed provideseven longer extendedharvests and much earli-er planting and harvest-ing of fresh garden pro-duce. You can build (orpurchase) a cold frameor hotbed any time ofyear. The sooner youstart, the sooner you canreap the benefits.
A hotbed is really justa cold frame with someadded source of heat inthe soil. Therefore, it canbe utilized in lower tem-peratures, even throughthe winter. If you alreadyhad a cold frame or hot-bed that you planted inlast fall, you could beenjoying fresh lettuce,spinach, radishes, cab-bage, broccoli, cauli-flower, onions and snowpeas from your gardeneach day.
As spring approaches,you can even start earlyplantings of warm-seasoncrops like tomatoes andpeppers, melons andsquash in the hotbed orcold frame. They arekept inside the structureuntil after the last frost.They will be sturdierplants, more “hardenedoff” than if they werejust grown inside underlights. You can put aremote thermometersensor inside the hotbedso that you know when to
ventilate it(when theair temper-ature getsabove 65degreesinside theframe).You canalso buyremoteopenerunits that
will automatically venti-late the hotbed or coldframe at a certain tem-perature. Heating cablesin the soil of a hotbed arecontrolled by a thermo-stat, so the soil can bekept at any desired tem-perature. For seed ger-mination, you’ll want thesoil temperature at about80 degrees, but this canbe lowered to 70 for con-tinued growth of theplants.
Be sure to keep theseedlings watered with asprinkling can, and fertil-ize them with a liquidfertilizer once they gettheir first true leaves.The only limiting factorthrough the winter isthen light, so clear plas-tic or glass must be usedfor the top of the coldframe or hotbed. Sidewalls can be built fromtreated 2 by 12 lumber.Since you will need to beable to reach the centerof the planting area fromone or both sides, de-pending on whether ornot the lid is attached andhinged, the size of thecold frame will probablyonly be 3-5 feet fromfront to back, but can beas long as you want it tobe. Overall size should be
in multiples of the size ofwindows or rigid, clearplastic you will use tocover the top.
Just keep in mind thatyou’ll have to open allthose windows everysunny day, and then closethem again in the eve-ning, in order to ventilateand release excess heat.During milder spells, youcan just leave a 0.5- to1-inch gap on two sides oraround the top for venti-lation
The structure shouldbe on a southern slope ina sunny place where it
will not be shaded. Thesouth or southwest sideof a building is best inresidential areas. Sitesshould be well drained,with surface water di-rected away from thehotbed. Pile mulch or soilagainst the outer sides ofthe structure to helpinsulate it. It should bereasonably close to awater supply, and if thebed is electrically heated,close to an electricaloutlet.
