in KentonCounty news

In 2015, business was booming in Kenton County.The southern end of the county saw the construction

of an Aldi Grocery Store and Dollar Tree. Toebben Construction Co. is still building Independ-

ence Square, a new neighborhood shopping center atthe corner of Harris Pike, and new and old Ky 17. The64,000-square-foot center will include three separatebuildings. Aldi and Dollar Tree, the first tenants bookedare expected to open in March 2016.

Great Clips, Verizon Wireless and Good Spirits Wineand Tobacco have signed leases, as well.

In Taylor Mill, with completion of the new Ky. 16 orPride Parkway, Mayor Dan Bell expects an uptick in de-velopment. Bell said the 157-acre business district, Dis-tricts of Taylor Mill, is poised for new business.

In 2014, the first development in the commercialzone was a 35,000-square-foot building, the HollandRestaurant Group’s $10 million headquarters namedTrifecta. It is home to a LaRosa’s, Skyline Chili andGraeter’s ice cream parlor. This year, the developmentwelcomed Golf Exchange, one of six locally owned golfretail chains.

There are four districts in the commercial zone withgraduated uses, from small service businesses to pro-fessional offices, retail and hospitality businesses andresearch and development uses.

At the northern end, in Fort Mitchell the Christ Hos-pital Health Network purchased 15 acres of property atthe former Drawbridge Inn site in February.

“We’re excited about being able to provide servicesto our patients who live in Northern Kentucky,” VictorJ. DiPilla, vice president and chief business develop-ment officer for The Christ Hospital Health Networktold the Enquirer in February. “It will also keep jobs inthe market in Northern Kentucky, and specifically,Fort Mitchell.”

Demolition of the sprawling Drawbridge Hotel &Convention Center, a medieval-inspired former hotelcomplex, took place in spring of 2014. The 382-room OldEnglish-style hotel was razed to make way for TheChrist Hospital’s 75,000-square-foot medical officebuilding and a retail and residential development.

INDEPENDENCE – In JuneKenton County Schools createdthe first STEAM Academy inNorthern Kentucky.

Summit View Elementary andMiddle schools became a com-bined preschool through eighthgrade school. This allowed the dis-trict to create a STEAM Academywith a focus revolving around sci-ence, technology, engineering, artand math (STEAM).

“As the first STEAM Academyin Northern Kentucky, we are ex-tremely pleased with the ease inthe transition from two traditionalschools into one preschool througheighth grade academy,” Superin-tendent Terri Cox-Cruey said.“The current focus is incorporat-ing personalized learning withhigh interest activities.

“For example, students arebuilding catapults as student engi-neers, researching life in the out-doors with guest speakers from

REI and introducing students toauthentic learning opportunities.Our teachers are collaborating tobuild a strong, engaging curricu-lum that takes the Kentucky aca-demic standards, and allows stu-dents to personalize the learningopportunities to show mastery ofcontent.”

Kenton County Schools is anopen enrollment district, so anystudent within the district is al-lowed to enroll in the STEAMAcademy.

EDGEWOOD – This year Re-corder readers learned about Hay-leigh Harden, a Dixie Heights HighSchool student who was awardedan Against All Odds Award by theKentucky Education Council.

When Harden was 14, her moth-er and stepfather owned a pawnshop. They were arrested andcharged with having stolen proper-ty. Her stepfather went to jail. Hermother was on probation, but vio-lated it and eventually went to pris-on too. Harden often felt alone andafraid, but by helping to care forher younger siblings, she foundcourage.

Harden saw potential in herself

as well and pursued it.At the end of May this year, she

reached a milestone destination –high school graduation.

“I’m excited to go on to collegeand do what I want to do and makemy own decisions for my life,” theDixie Heights High School seniorsaid. “I’m excited to start a newpath, my own path.”

That path includes attending theUniversity of Cincinnati. She’s wasaccepted into its chemistry pro-gram and hopes to one day be an an-esthesiologist.

2015: THE YEAR IN KENTON COUNTY NEWS

FORT MITCHELL –This year, Fort Mitchellpolice have thrown wateron a popular heroin hot-spot.

Earlier this year theRecorder reported thatthe department was up-ping patrols at the Krogerparking lot on Dixie High-way.

At that time, since 2013,the department had made66 heroin-related arrests.

The Kroger parking lotwas a popular spot for her-oin users.

Heroin users were reg-ularly pulling off the inter-state, pulling into Kroger,shooting up and then go-ing on their way. That’schanged, according to in-terim police chief MattRobinson.

“Things are going inthe right direction,” Rob-inson said. “The overallnumbers in (Fort Mitch-ell) have dropped as it per-tains to the arrests made

for possession of con-trolled substance first de-gree - heroin. We hadabout a 37 percent de-crease of heroin arrests in

the city from last year tothis year. As for the num-ber of arrests made in thelot of Kroger, those havedecreased as well.”

of Governments couldadopt an improvementplan for Ky. 536 Jan. 14.

This segment of theroadway, between Ky. 17and the Kenton and Camp-bell county line, is the onlyremaining section of theentire corridor that doesnot have a preferred alter-native or improvementplan in place. In 2015, theKy. 536 Scoping Study waslaunched.

The study’s projectmanager, Robyn Ban-croft, said in accordancewith the public’s respons-es, the project develop-ment team will recom-mend the off-alignmentoption.

The off-alignment al-ternative follows the ex-isting Ky. 536 east fromKy. 17 and shifts north on-to a new segment as it ap-proaches Ky. 16, redirect-ing traffic north of White’sTower Elementary Schoolto realign with Ky. 536near Maverick Road.

It follows the existingroadway until 1/2 milewest of Staffordsburg

Road, where it turns northonto a new alignment thatconnects directly with theexisting Visalia Bridge.This alternative isplanned as a three-laneroad, a single lane travel-ing in either direction anda lane in the middle to as-sist with turns, betweenKy. 17 and StaffordsburgRoad.

From StaffordsburgRoad to the CampbellCounty line, the alterna-tive would become a two-lane road with the excep-tion of a climbing lane thatwould be constructed toassist trucks travelingwestward from Ky. 17.

To accommodate bik-

ers, walkers and runners,Bancroft said this alterna-tive also includes 8-footmultiuse paths on bothsides of Ky. 536 from Ky.17 to Ky. 16. East of Ky. 16,a 10-foot multiuse path isincluded as part of this al-ternative.

This alternative wouldcost an estimated $86.5million. With this option,37 structures could be af-fected and 137 parcels ofland, as well as 77 acres offarmland.

A final study report isnow posted on the website,www.oki.org/536. Ban-croft will present thescoping study to the OKIBoard Jan. 14 for adoption.

INDEPENDENCE – KeiraBennett’s eyes light up just asbright as the bulb on the lampshe just made out of a recycledsoda can and a lamp-making kit.

“I liked putting it togetherand learning about math, sci-ence and technology,” thefourth-grade STEAM Academystudent said.

STEAM Academy teacherApril Kelshaw said this hands-on project was an importantpart of the lesson on energy. Theproject included volunteersfrom Duke Energy and the Ken-ton County School District’s En-ergy Wise program and theGreen Engineering Academy.

“This project gave studentsthe opportunity to put what theyhave been learning in the class-room into practice with a real-life practical application,” Kel-shaw said. “All too often stu-dents only hear about materialfrom their teacher. Bringing inprofessionals really shows stu-dents that there are connectionsto be made and that the materialbeing presented to them in classis relevant and applicable toreal-world situations.”

The project was made possi-ble from grant monies recentlyawarded to the district by DukeEnergy.

“Duke Energy has been anactive partner with KentonCounty helping to fund STEMeducation, energy educationand working with us on projectslike the lamp-building,” saidSTEAM Academy consultantJoe Chavez said. “The partner-ship is a great way for studentsto interact with industry andprofessionals helping students

make real-world connections towhat they are learning in theclassroom.”

Duke Energy district man-ager for government and com-munity relations Rhonda Whit-aker said Duke was “excited” toprovide support for the project.

“Duke Energy has had along-standing partnership withKenton County Schools andtheir Energy Wise programsand STEM activities,” she said.“Such partnerships help edu-cate students on energy conser-vation and new technologies.We hope that programs such asthese also possibly encouragestudents to pursue STEM ca-reers.”

FORT MITCHELL – InJanuary, the mayor-ap-pointed recreation commit-tee will report to council onthe recreation programand how to move forward.

The committee wasformed during the sum-mer, after longtime recrea-tion department directorKim Stoll resigned. Stoll re-signed in mid-June after areduction in the recreationbudget.

City AdministratorSharmili Reddy said lastyear’s recreation budgetwas $97,219. The 2015-16fiscal year budget is$97,167, but that includes a

$24,745 facility rental feepaid to Beechwood Schools,that was a separate lineitem last year. Reddy saidthe rental fee was rolledinto the recreation budgetbecause recreation pro-grams are the reason forthe fee.

“The mayor appointed arecreation committee tolook at our programmingthis year and create a vi-sion for the future,” Reddysaid. “The committeelooked at attendance atevents and the relatedcosts. They will be present-ing their findings to councilin January. Based on theplan for next year, we willbe looking to hire someoneearly next year.”

What’s the future of Ft.Mitchell rec department?Melissa [email protected] INDEPENDENCE – Independ-

ence continues to work with theKentucky Transportation Cab-inet to reopen Pelly Road bridge.

In mid-May a large truck hitthe guardrail on the north side ofthe bridge, tearing it from theconcrete and into the creek. Thetruck left the scene without re-porting the accident. State in-spectors ordered the bridgeclosed because it was unsafe.

The city is looking at fundingoptions. To date, they have re-ceived $100,000 through theEmergency Road Aid program.

“Reopening the Pelly Roadbridge is a top priority,” MayorChris Reinersman said. “We con-tinue to work hard to find a safe,viable repair option as well asfunding sources.”

Pelly Road is a heavily trav-eled cut-through corridor, con-necting the eastern part of townto Ky. 17. Although most of thetraffic is residential, tractors andtrailers often use the road to gainaccess from Ky. 17 to Taylor Mill

and Covington.The issue is that semis are

making wide turns, sometimeshitting the guardrails and causingdamage.

“There are signs posted thatsay ‘no thru trucks,’ but driversare not paying attention to them,”City Administrator Chris Morico-ni said. “No matter what repairsare made, if we don’t keep semisoff the bridge, then we’re going tobe back where we started.”

Moriconi said city staff and of-ficials are brainstorming ideas tokeep semis from traveling overthe bridge.

“We’re going to take a look atother cities in other parts of thecountry who have had similar is-sues to see what they’ve done toprevent this issue,” he said.“There has to be a safe option tokeep semis off the road and allowlight commercial trucks.”

“The compromise hasworked out well for the city.For no additional money, weare able to call upon two attor-neys for advice. We have care-fully delineated each attor-ney’s duties and have avoidedoverlap of their responsibil-ities.”

served as plan-ning managerfor PlanningDevelopmentServices.

According toMayor JudeHehman, Reddywas the idealpick of 20 appli-cants.

“Sharmili just really stuckout,” he told the Recorder. “Itfeels like she is the missinglink to our staff. She’s the rightone to prepare us for this newgrowth. She has a big jobahead of her and now is the keytime to get her moved in. We’rehanding her the key to the city,it’s her turn to drive.”

Beechwood Schools saw a

new face at thehelm, as well,when Mike Sta-cy took over assuperintendent.Stacy previous-ly served aschief academicofficer forWoodford Coun-

Prior to his work in theWoodford County School Dis-trict, he served as a principal,assistant principal, athletic di-rector, assistant director ofpupil personnel,head coachand social studies teacher inmultiple districts at the ele-mentary, middle and highschool levels.

Upon hiring, Stacy told theRecorder: “I am impressedwith the history and perfor-mance record of BeechwoodIndependent Schools, and Iconsider it an honor to havethe opportunity to help leadsuch an amazing institution.”

DECEMBER 31, 2015 • SOUTH KENTON RECORDER • 5ANEWS

We always have family and friendsover for New Year’s Day.

This year I’m serving beef tender-loin. I know, I know, it’s expensive forsure, but it’s an elegant and easy entreefor a party. And when I think about it, itdoesn’t cost any more than if I wouldserve two other kinds of meat, as Isometimes do. Plus I can get it ready toroast ahead of time. And there’s nowrong way to serve it: warm from theoven, room temperature or even chilled,sliced on a bed of greens.

Like many of you, I can’t believe 2016 is justdays away. As I’ve said before, I appreciatecoming into your lives each week through thiscolumn. It’s a special and unique way to keepin touch.

There aren’t many columns like this onenowadays where reader involvement is notonly welcomed but an important part of shar-ing. So continue to do that as we begin anotheryear of exploring the wonderful world of foodtogether.

And it doesn’t matter what level of cooking

you’ve achieved or care to do. Today’scolumn is a great example: from gour-met beef tenderloin with a homemadeFrench herb blend to refrigerated bis-cuits gussied up with butter and cheese.

Readers want to knowRib and loin pork chops – what’s the

diff?Rib: Have a bone running along one

side and a layer of fat on the outside.Tender with a mild flavor.

Loin: Cut toward the center of the loin theywill have a T-shaped bone that has loin on oneside and tenderloin on the other. Very leanwith mild flavor.

Cook quickly: Brown on both sides overfairly high heat, then cover, finish cookingover very low heat.

Foolproof beef tenderloin with herbs

Leftovers make great beef sliders. I love to use the dried herbs Ihave from my herb garden.

Bring the meat out at least 30 minutes prior to roasting. It willroast more evenly.

Preheat oven to 400.

1 tenderloin, 2-1/2 to 3 pounds trimmedOlive oilFreshly ground black pepper and salt1 generous tablespoon garlic, mincedRub roast with olive oil, sprinkle and pat garlic all over and

then sprinkle black pepper and salt all around.Mix together:1/2 cup parsley, chopped1 tablespoon Herbes de Provence OR1 teaspoon dried tarragon1 teaspoon dried thyme1 teaspoon fresh or dried rosemary, minced1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Roll beef in herb mixture to coat all over. Roast until thermom-eter registers 130-145 for medium rare to medium. This will takeabout 30-40 minutes or so for medium rare. You can always leave it inlonger if you like.

Remove from oven, tent and let stand 10 minutes or so to redis-tribute juices. Temperature will rise a bit, too.

Rita’s Herbes de Provence

Blend together and store in cool, dry place away from light:

1/4 cup dried thyme leaves2 tablespoons dried marjoram or 1 tablespoon oregano1 tablespoon dried rosemary, minced1 tablespoon dried savory leaves, not powdered savory2 teaspoons dried lavender flowers1 teaspoon fennel seeds1 dried bay leaf, crumbled

Easy Parmesan biscuits

A friend of mine takes refrigerated biscuits to a higher level bydipping in butter and cheese.

1 tube buttermilk biscuits (5 biscuits)Melted butterParmesan cheese, about 1 cup

Preheat oven to 400. Dip both sides of biscuits into butter, theninto cheese. Place 1 inch apart on sprayed baking pan. Bake until gold-en, about 8-10 minutes.

Tenderloin is a tasty – albeit expensive – New Year’s dinner that you can make ahead.

If you’re enjoying the holidays witha drink, the Campbell County Attor-ney’s Office has a message for you:Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.

Due to the increase in drunk-driv-ing-related fatalities around the holi-days each year, law enforcement agen-cies across America will activelysearch for and arrest drunk driversfrom Dec. 17 to Jan. 1. They have goodreason to: in 2013, 10,076 people werekilled in crashes involving a drunkdriver. In December 2013 alone therewere 733 people killed in crashes in-volving at least one driver or motorcy-cle operator with a blood alcohol con-centration (BAC) of .08 or higher.Twenty-three of those deaths occurredon Christmas Day.

It’s time for all drivers to get themessage. Drunk driving is a choiceyou make, and when you make thatchoice, people get hurt or die. That’swhy we’re joining with the NationalHighway Traffic Safety Administra-tion to share the message: Drive Soberor Get Pulled Over.

The safest way to get home is todrive sober or catch a ride with a so-ber designated driver. If you plan ondrinking at the holiday party or at arestaurant, hand the keys over tosomeone else – a sober friend, a taxi,Uber or public transportation. Or, tryNHTSA’s SaferRide mobile app, whichallows users to call a taxi or a friend

by identifying theirlocation so they can bepicked up. The app isavailable athttp://ow.ly/RWs3S forAndroid andhttp://ow.ly/RWs8h foriPhone users.

As part of the na-tional Drive Sober orGet Pulled Over en-forcement campaignperiod, police willincrease the number

of patrols, set up roadblocks, and uselocal media to reach out to all drivers.If you’re drinking and driving, cityand county police throughout Camp-bell County will stop you. If you’recaught drinking and driving you couldface jail time, fines, loss of driver’slicense, towing fees, and other DUIexpenses, totaling thousands of dol-lars. That’s not a small price, and thatdoesn’t even count the heftier priceyou could pay: the price of your life orof someone else.

The only way to truly avoid a DUI isto drive sober or designate a soberdriver ahead of time. There are otheroptions, such as calling friends, familymembers, using public transportation,or using a ride service such as a taxi,Uber or Lift. The cost of getting asober ride is nothing compared to a$10,000 DUI or the cost of someone’s

life. The “inconvenience” of not driving

your own car home is nothing com-pared to the inconvenience of spend-ing the holidays behind bars.

The County Attorney’s Office iscalling on everyone to be alert. If yousee a drunk driver on the road, call thepolice right away. If someone youknow is about to drive after drinking,take their keys and help them gethome safely. We’ve got to work togeth-er to make our roads safer this De-cember and year-round.

Please follow these tips to keep theholidays safe and happy:

» Even one drink can impair yourjudgment and increase the risk ofgetting arrested for driving drunk – orworse, the risk of having a crash.

» If you will be drinking, do notplan on driving. Plan ahead; designatea sober driver before the party begins.

» If you have been drinking, do notdrive. Call a taxi, phone a sober friendor family member, or use public trans-portation.

If you have any topics you wouldlike to have covered in this column,please contact my office by e-mail [email protected], by phoneat 491-7700 or by regular mail ad-dressed to 319 York St., Newport, KY41071.

Last week’s questionLooking to 2016, if you can grant one

wish for your community, what would itbe? Why?

“To be a drug free community.”Gary Griesser

“Amen drug free and help for them.”Elizabeth Jones

“Say goodbye to heroin! It’s torn somany people apart and taken so manymore!”

Mike Fryman

“Drug free community.”Bethany Pancerzewski Spence

“Would like some lights on PleasantValley and maybe the road widened.”

Barbara Sands

“I would love to see a sidewalk along237.”

Rob Stone

“I wish that more people would step upand become foster parents. Good fosterparents to help us care for the recordnumber of children and babies beingdumped into the system because of her-oin.”

Amy Childress Carder

“We need to take a stand and makehuge efforts to fight the heroin epidem-ic.”

Tom Meagher

“I’m a conservative. Nothing I couldwish for them would do any good. Theyhave to do good for themselves. Trump2016.”

John Bernard

“For playgrounds to have coveredplay areas.”

John Scales

“That all children lived with responsi-ble parents or relatives so they didn’thave to go homeless or hungry.”

Bonnie Gillenwater Scott

If I could grant one wish for 2016 to mycommunity, the city of Independence, itwould be to proceed at full speed aheadwith the multiple traffic circles (some-times more commonly called “round-abouts”) that were highly touted in thispublication for several weeks consecu-tively, several years ago. So far, absolute-ly nothing has been done in proceedingwith construction. I believe, at one time,there were six proposed traffic circles,three of which were to be built along Ky.536 to alleviate the horrendous trafficback-ups that occur on that stretch ofroad. Established traffic circles, once fa-miliarized with, really, truly, do allowtraffic to flow continuously without mak-ing a full stop except to yield to traffic al-ready within the circle itself. They elim-inate traffic lights, four-way stops andlong, long lines of stop and go traffic,which all save time and fuel. I do not re-call seeing information stating that theseproposed traffic circles were ever can-celed and/or postponed indefinitely. Ifthat is the case, where are they?

“I think it’s pretty ex-citing. It’s been keepingme motivated,” Nielan-der said. “When mycoach said I was going tobe honored, that mademe happy.”

She was celebrated athalftime of Tuesday’sHoly Cross boys’ basket-ball game against New-port Central Catholic,and was cheered by thehome crowd for reachingthe milestone. The grandoccasion heralded yetanother first for the ju-nior.

“She’s not only thefirst swimmer to amass1,000 points in the pro-gram’s 23-year history,she’s also the first swim-mer in school history toqualify for state, in the 50freestyle and 100 free,last season,” coach SethJansen said.

The coach recentlyguided the girls to theteam title at the HolyCross Invite at Scott.“The boys finishedfourth, their highestever, and we only hadseven boys competingthat day, so we’re havingsuccess with the girlsand the boys,” Jansensaid. “Megan has been

outstanding.”Nielander is first in

the record books justabout everywhere youlook. She has set so manyrecords at Holy Crossthat she’s the record-holder for most records,possessing nine. Sheholds six of a possiblenine standards in indi-vidual events, from the50 freestyle to the 200 in-dividual medley. She is amember of all three rec-ord-setting relay teams.

“She’s been with ussince the eighth grade,and always been inter-ested in other races,”Jansen said. “She’s main-ly short freestyle andbutterfly with somebackstroke, but she canswim just about anyevent for us.”

Also in on the relayrecords are seniors Mad-ison Lipscomb and GraceKahmann. “It’s beenthose three at the core.They’ve definitely been

the most talented girlsI’ve had in the programso far,” the coach said.“Megan couldn’t havegot 1,000 without thosegirls.”

Lipscomb, the teamcaptain, is closing in on1,000 points herself. Ju-nior Chloe Kresnak is an-other key scorer. EmmaLemkuhl leads the girls’diving team, which hasbecome a Holy Crossstrength under coach Al-lyson Heger. Divers GusStaubitz and Owen Finkeare returning boys’ statequalifiers. Staubitz fin-ished in the top 10 lastseason

“It’s really exciting tosee how the swimmingand diving has come to-gether,” Jansen sad. “Wedon’t see them as twoseparate teams. We prac-tice together at Scott twodays a week to make surewe’re all in the same poolat the same time, and Ithink it helps us.”

Members of the General Assem-

bly clearly voiced their support for

a smoke-free Kentucky bill for the

2015 session last week that mirrors

previously failed legislation in 2014.

Denouncing the argument that a

smoke-free bill prohibiting smoking

in public places would kill business,

Brent Cooper, a business owner

from northern Kentucky, said not

only are businesses prospering

across the Ohio River in Cincinnati

with a smoke-free law, but that the

pubs in Ireland haven’t shut down

since the country put a ban on

smoking in the workplace 10 years

ago.Many legislators conferred that

public smoking was indefensible in

Kentucky given the state’s bad

health ratings compared to other

states throughout the U.S.

According to testimony from

Wayne Meriwether, CEO of Twin

Lakes Regional Medical Center,

second-hand smoke is just as dan-

gerous for those that don’t smoke.

all Kentuckians smoke. We lead the

DEATHS

We all want a goodnight’s sleep, but forsome of us, sleep ishard to come by. If you

experi-encetroublefallingasleepor stay-ingasleep,awak-eningtoo earlyor neverfeelingrested,

you are not alone. Manyadults experience sleepdisturbances at somepoint. The NationalInstitutes of Healthestimates that nearly 30percent of the generaladult population com-plains of sleep disrup-tion, and about 10 per-cent has functionalimpairment in the day-time that is a telltalesign of insomnia.

Stresses, anxieties,depression, poor sleephabits and certain med-ical conditions are com-mon underlying causesof insomnia. Insomniais also caused bychanges in a person’senvironment or workschedule, some medica-

tions and consumptionof caffeine, nicotine,alcohol and food too latein the evening. The riskof experiencing in-somnia increases if youare a woman, over 60,have a mental disorder,under stress, worknights or swing shiftsor frequently travellong distances overmultiple time zones.

Sometimes you canmake behavior changesto have a more restfulnight. These changesinclude following aregular 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, you may want tosee your doctor. Moreinformation is alsoavailable with the Na-tional Sleep Foundation– sleepfoundation.org.

“Mary lovingly cra-dling baby Jesus con-tinues to be an importantsymbol today, especiallywith so many assaults onthe family and the upheav-al in the world. We arehopeful that the sculpturewill be a beacon of hopefor people in our commu-nity,” said Anne Burleighof Rabbit Hash.

Mrs. Burleigh, alongwith her husband, Bill, arefounding members of thecommittee that had the vi-sion for St. Mary’s Park atthe northwest corner ofMadison Avenue and Mar-tin Luther King Jr. Boule-vard in Covington, acrossthe street from the Cathe-dral Basilica of the As-sumption.

Other committee mem-bers include Mary Brown,former mayor of FortThomas; Dan Groneck,president US Bank North-ern Kentucky; Mark Guil-foyle, partner at DBL Law;and Joan Wurtenberger,architect and senior prin-cipal for Champlin Archi-tecture.

“We all share a passionfor doing something tocommemorate the spiritand importance of St. Ma-ry,” Guilfoyle said. “Webelieve St. Mary’s Parkwill provide a place forcommunity members tosocialize, pray and sharereflections, while com-memorating Mary in allher glory,” Guilfoyle said.

St. Mary’s Park will bemanaged under the aus-pices of the Cathedral par-ish but has, to date, beenplanned and funded byvolunteers and communi-ty organizations. While theproject has continued todevelop, the group is seek-ing additional funds in or-der for the park to be com-pleted. With expectationshigh, the project is slatedfor construction in 2016.

St. Mary’s Park will bean urban oasis featuringas its focal point a nine-foot bronze statue of Mary,the Blessed Mother, hold-ing the infant Jesus. Marywill stand on a four-footstone pedestal in the cen-ter of a fountain measur-

ing 24 feet in diameter.“The statue has been

cast in bronze at a foundryin Philadelphia and shouldbe finished well before thestart of the constructionseason,” Groneck said. “Itwill be a world class pieceof art.”

Bill and Anne Burleighconferred with nationallyrenowned architect Dun-can Stroik who recom-mended artist David

Frech, a young accom-plished sculptor in Bea-con, New York, for the pro-ject.

“We’ve learned a lot ofphysics with this project,it’s been terrific,” saidAnne Burleigh. “We talkwith the sculptor everyweek. He is a wonderfulsculptor and we are excit-ed about what this parkand what this sculpturewill mean to the neighbor-hood and the continued re-vitalization of our urbancore,” she said.

Groneck, whose officeis five blocks north of theCathedral on Madison Av-enue, also sees the park asan aesthetic complementto the “Cathedral Square”and the city of Covington.

“I was excited by thefact that it is going to be inCovington. Covington isexperiencing a great eco-nomic boom and this pro-ject caps that success,”Groneck said. “To me it’sthe third leg of the stoolfor this part of Covington –with the Cathedral at thecenter, you have the Latinschool and you have theCuria Building and thisproject will complete that.I think it will get more at-tention than what anyonecan anticipate. The fact isit will be a great park,”Groneck said.

Well it’s official. Christ-mas 2016 has come andgone. Depending on howyour Christmas gather-ings unfolded, you areprobably feeling one oftwo ways: “Let’s get thisChristmas tree down andout of here” (maybe youalready took it down) or“Let’s keep this feeling go-ing as long as we can.”Whichever side of the pro-verbial “tree” you findyourself on, may I suggesta word that can inspireand give you hope and di-rection in the weeks andmonths to come?

A few years ago, Iheard about a wonderfullycreative idea to start theNew Year. Instead of, or inaddition to, creating a listof resolutions, choose aword that describes whoyou want to become, aword that will spur you onto meeting your goals.Some may naturally think“winner,” “overcomer” or“success.” All are equallywonderful words, butthere is a better one.

A dear friend of mineonce gave me a Christmasgift. When I opened it,there it was, the word thathas since transformedme, and I know it will do

the samefor you.Believe.

Be-lieve, Ithought.What do Iwant tobelievefor? Iwant to

believe for better health,healing and transforma-tions in my family. Job sta-bility and satisfaction formy husband and positiveinfluences and relation-ships for my children. Iwant to believe for peaceand joy for those that Ilove.

It really is that simple.Whatever you want to be-come in the New Year, youmust believe for it. Makeno mistake life will notturn around for you if youdon’t really believe that itcan or will.

Believe is such a won-derful word because ittakes “us” out of the equa-tion. It encourages us tolook to the only One whocan really make thingshappen in our lives.

The word believe ismore than doing some-thing, it is a state of being.We are either believers or

we aren’t. There really isno middle ground. Do youwant to become a believerthis year? Own the word.Take hold of it as if it wereyour own. And here are afew verses to encourageyou as well.

“Believe in the Lordyour God and you shall beestablished; believe hisprophets and you shallprosper.” 2 Chronicles20:20

“Do not be afraid, onlybelieve.” Mark 5:36

“Jesus said to him, ‘Ifyou can believe, all thingsare possible to him whobelieves.’”

Mark 9:23Know this: There is a

very real connection be-tween believing for some-thing and receiving it.May God bless you thiscoming year with the giftof “believing” for healing,redemption, miracles andtransformations for youand your loved ones. But,if you still struggle to be-lieve, it’s OK, I’m believ-ing for you.
