FORT WRIGHT — Superinten-dent Dr. Terri Cox-Cruey’s con-tract with Kenton CountySchools was extended for an-

other four yearsduring the boardmeeting Mon-day.

Cox-Cruey,who is celebrat-ing her 28th yearin education,said she “is ex-cited to continuethe progress

with academics and college andcareer readiness for all stu-dents.”

Since she was hired as super-intendent in 2011, the school dis-trict has seen steady positivegains in assessment. When Cox-Cruey began, Kenton Countywas in the 64th percentile in thestate, and in 2014, ranked in the

top 89th percentile as a profi-cient district.

Her vision for the district in-cludes positive behavior inter-vention strategies, streamlinedtransportation and energy effi-ciency. Cox-Cruey and theboard were early implementersof raising the dropout age to 18.

Cox-Cruey said she wouldlike to continue to build theKenton County Academies ofInnovation and Technology tohelp students have more per-sonalized learning opportuni-ties, and she wants to ensurethat every student is preparedfor the global work market.

Board President Karen Col-lins said, “The board was unani-mous in their decision due tothe progressive intentional in-structional focus in all gradelevels.”

In other action, the boardswore in members Jesica Jehnand Josh Crabtree.

INDEPENDENCE — For Jef-fery Peter, there’s more to den-tistry than making beautifulsmiles.

“It’s about building relation-ships,” he said.

Peter, 30, recently opened hisown full-service practice, PeterFamily Dentistry, at 2025 Decla-

ration Drive, In-dependence.

“My philoso-phy with mypractice here isto be patient-cen-tered,” he said. “Iwant them tohave a good ex-perience and getto know me and

the staff. People tend to see thedentist more regularly than oth-ers in the health care profession.I’m looking forward to buildingthat rapport, that’s important tome. Being a family dentist is agood fit because I’ll get to seethe entire family … I’ll see thekids grow up and see them asthey start their own families.You’re not treating strangers.That’s important to me.”

Peter earned his undergradu-ate degree at the University ofLouisville and graduated fromLouisville’s School of Dentistryin 2010. During dental school,amidst all of the studying andexams, Peter participated in nu-merous community service pro-

jects stretching from the dentalschool for Smile Kentucky to allthe way to Belize. In Belize, hehelped set up a dental clinic eachyear for a few days in the villageof Red Bank.

“That was a great experi-ence,” he said. “I hope to be ableto continue with these types ofprojects for years to come.”

After dental school, Peterwent into active duty in theArmy and was stationed at FortDrum, New York, for threeyears.

“That was an amazing experi-ence too,” he said. “I learned alot working with other doctorsand specialists. The Army, how-ever, was not for me. I reallywanted to get into a privatepractice … it was a dream allalong to have a practice of myown.”

Matt Meyer, a friend and col-league from the Army said he isexcited for Peter.

“Jeff is a skilled and compas-sionate dentist,” he said. “Jeffwas one of the doctors that re-ceived the most praise and posi-tive reviews from dental pa-tients at Fort Drum.”

Peter, who lives and is origi-nally from Fort Thomas, said hewanted to open his practice inthe Northern Kentucky area. Hechose Independence because ofthe growing community and the“small town feel.”

TAYLOR MILL — Bringing aburst of energy into the newyear, Star Staubach is com-bining her expertise at help-ing others with a local organi-zation that brings small busi-ness leaders together.

The Business Networkgroup, started by ClaytonHicks in Cincinnati in 2008,now has a weekly group meet-ing Friday mornings at Grae-ter’s Ice Cream Parlor at theTrifecta building in TaylorMill.

Hicks said he started thegroup to focus more on rela-tionships than referrals.

“Referrals are a byproductof relationships. Buildingthose relationships brings farmore referrals than just go-ing to look for referrals,” hesaid.

There were 18 groups lastyear, and now Hicks has 27groups in communities rang-ing from Taylor Mill toSpringfield. He’s also work-

ing on starting a group in Myr-tle Beach, South Carolina.

After paying the $195 annu-al dues, which is $165 as an in-troductory rate for Kentuckybusinesses, members can at-tend any meeting.

Staubach said she knewright away she wanted to jointhis group.

“TBN has a special way ofconnecting you with the peo-ple you want to connect with.It’s not a random thing,” shesaid. “Any organizer can setup a meeting, but Clayton hasa strategic way of putting peo-ple together. It’s not necessar-ily about doing business withpeople, but how you can worktogether and benefit each oth-er. In the process, your busi-ness benefits as well.”

Hicks said his strategy isabout method, not magic.

“I do match people basedon the behaviors they showme,” he said. “People show mewhat they want, and I try tohelp them get it. I guess I domatch people up really well.Star walked into two meetings

and walked out with new busi-ness.”

As Staubach led the TaylorMill group during its firstmeeting, seven business lead-ers talked about their suc-cesses and challenges in 2014,and what they’d like to accom-plish in 2015. They also tookturns talking about their busi-nesses and what they’d like toachieve through networking.

“I’m excited about grow-ing this network,” Staubachsaid. They are looking for an-other team member to leadthe Taylor Mill group.

She said the Taylor Mill lo-cation would be good, not onlyfor her, but for other localbusiness owners.

“I knew that Northern Ken-tucky needed this,” she said.“I really love the location. It’sconducive to people who wantto come from the east side ofOhio, but also conducive forpeople in Northern Kentucky.It’s very accessible.”

ERLANGER — Erlang-er’s business communityhas a new addition. Earlierthis month the city be-came home to Avure Tech-nologies’ global headquar-ters.

“We are very excited towelcome them into ourcommunity,” ErlangerMayor Tyson Hermessaid. “Avure Technologiesis an important addition toour business communitybecause they are fillingempty space, creating lo-cal jobs, and expandingthe tax base.”

Avure develops high-pressure processing sys-tems for the removal offood-borne pathogens inpackaged foods. The com-pany is expected to create16 jobs and invest $3 mil-lion into the project. Ma-jor clients include Hormeland Tyson Foods.

“Avure’s chemicalfree, no-heat method ofpreserving food doesn’talter the taste, texture, orquality of the food, while

helping extend the selflife,” Hermes said.“Avure is a global leaderof high-pressure process-ing (HPP) equipment,their benefit to our com-munity helps businessesof every kind.”

According to Hermes,“business builds on busi-ness.” The addition of thiscompany, he said, willhave a compounding ef-

fect, thus providing in-come for more local fam-ilies.

Avure relocated itsheadquarters from Frank-lin, Tennessee, to Erlang-er for several reasons, ac-cording to marketing di-rector Lisa Pitzer.

“We were looking for aplace that was convenientfor our customers to fly inand out of,” she said. “Er-

langer, being close to theCincinnati airport, makesthat possible. Erlanger isalso close to our equip-ment manufacturing loca-tion in Middletown, Ohio.This is the best place forus.”

Avure chief executiveofficer Jeff Williams saidthe location is great be-cause it is a “very busi-ness-friendly environ-

ment.”To encourage the in-

vestment and job growthin Northern Kentucky, theKentucky Economic De-velopment Finance Au-thority preliminarily ap-proved the company fortax incentives up to$300,000 through the Ken-tucky Business Invest-ment program. The per-formance-based incentiveallows a company to keepa portion of its investmentover the term of the agree-ment through corporateincome tax credits andwage assessments bymeeting job and invest-ment targets.

“The opening ofAvure’s new headquar-ters and food science labin Northern Kentucky is astrong start to 2015,” saidKris Knochelmann, Ken-ton County judge-execu-tive and chairman ofNorthern Kentucky Tri-ED. “This is exactly thetype of facility that wewant to attract to the re-gion and builds on North-ern Kentucky’s reputationas an ideal location for of-

fice headquarters andfood research and devel-opment facilities.”

Avure was the first tocreate commercially via-ble high-pressure proc-essing systems for remov-al of food-borne patho-gens to substantially ex-tend the shelf life ofpackaged foods withoutchemical additives or pre-servatives, Pitzer said.The company has been aglobal expert in applyinghigh-pressure technologyfor more than 50 years andhas installed systems onevery continent exceptAntarctica.

“What we do is impor-tant because consumersare constantly looking atways to be healthier and tofeed their families andeven their pets in healthi-er ways,” Pitzer said.

Avure’s facility on Air-port Exchange Boulevardis the site of a world-class,high-pressure processingfood research lab and cus-tomer service center.

FORT THOMAS — Taxi-cabs have been showingup at the homes of olderadults in the city offeringto take them to withdrawmoney from the bank topay telephone callers of-fering an alleged largerprize.

It’s a scam, said FortThomas Police Depart-

ment Lt. Richard Whit-ford.

So far, three residentshave complained aboutcab drivers knocking ontheir door and offering aride to the bank, Whit-ford said. The first com-plaint was Dec. 3. The lat-est complaint was report-ed Dec. 10, Whitford said.

“One man actually hada cab sent to his house 10times,” Whitford said.

Cabs from two compa-nies have been dis-patched to houses as partof the scam, he said. Po-lice have advised taxidispatchers of the ruse,Whitford said.

Taxi companies areworking with the policeinvestigation to identifythe calls, he said. Somecalls have come fromFlorida, and some havecome from an unknown

location overseas, Whit-ford said.

Police in southernCampbell County havehad a similar complaintin the past month, andthere was a complaintabout cabs sent for aphone scam in Hebronlast year, he said.

People calling the cabcompanies to set up theride are claiming to be aresident of the house the

cab is being sent, Whit-ford said.

The scam starts with aphone call to an olderadult saying they are en-titled to millions of dol-lars, but $400 is neededup front to start the pa-perwork, the officersaid.

When the potentialvictims say they cannotget to their bank becauseof their age, the phone

callers are sending cabsto the residence, accord-ing to a news releasefrom the department.

For older adults, hav-ing the cabs show up attheir door is surprisingand confusing, Whitfordsaid.

“They were like ‘Hey,we’ll send a taxicab toyou’,” he said of the peo-ple calling asking formoney.

SCHOOLNOTES

The Carnegie Founda-tion for the Advancementof Teaching has selectedNorthern Kentucky Uni-versity to receive its 2015Community EngagementClassification. NKU origi-nally earned the classifi-cation in 2006, the firstyear it was offered, andthis marks the founda-tion’s first re-classifica-tion year.

“This designation af-firms NKU’s longstand-ing commitment to com-munity engagement andits demonstrable benefitsto student success,” saidNKU President GeoffreyMearns.

“What makes this

achievement particularlynoteworthy is that we didnot earn it because of oneprogram – it reflects adepth of programmingand an institutional cul-ture where communityengagement is valuedwithin our classrooms andbeyond.”

Transdisciplinary pro-grams from across NKU’scampus were consideredin the review process. TheMayerson Student Philan-thropy Project trans-forms NKU classes intoboards of philanthropists,evaluating need and as-sessing nonprofits beforedistributing real funds tohelp address a wide range

of regional challenges.The Center for Applied

Informatics draws uponstudent and faculty exper-tise to help organizationsmeet the challenges of theinformatics age. Addi-tional programs withinthe fine arts, sciences,education, business, law,and health professionswere also considered.

Colleges and universi-ties with an institutionalfocus on community en-gagement were invited toapply for the classifica-tion in 2006 as part of anextensive restructuringof The Carnegie Classifi-cation of Institutions ofHigher Education.

Unlike the foundation’sother classifications thatrely on national data, thisis an “elective” classifica-tion – institutions partici-pated voluntarily by sub-mitting required materi-als describing the natureand extent of their en-gagement with the com-munity, be it local or be-yond. This approach en-abled the foundation to ad-dress elements ofinstitutional mission anddistinctiveness that arenot represented in the na-tional data on colleges anduniversities.

“The importance ofthis elective classificationis borne out by the re-

sponse of so many cam-puses that have demon-strated their deep engage-ment with local, regional,national, and global com-munities,” said John Salt-marsh, director of theNew England ResourceCenter for Higher Educa-tion. “These are campusesthat are improving teach-ing and learning, produc-ing research that makes adifference in communi-ties, and revitalizing theircivic and academic mis-sions.”

A listing of institutionsthat hold the CommunityEngagement Classifica-tion can be found atwww.nerche.org.

Catholic School Week theme encompasses conceptsat the heart of a Catholic education

The theme for the Nation-al Catholic Schools Week2015 is again “CatholicSchools: Communities ofFaith, Knowledge and Ser-vice.” The annual obser-vance starts the last Sun-day in January and runs allweek, which in 2015 is Jan.25-31. Schools typicallycelebrate Catholic SchoolsWeek with Masses, OpenHouses, and other activi-ties for students, families,parishioners, and the com-munity at large.The theme encompasses

several concepts that areat the heart of a Catholiceducation. First, schoolsare communities – smallfamilies in their own right,but also members of the

larger community of home,church, city and nation.Faith, knowledge and ser-vice are three measures bywhich any Catholic schoolcan and should be judged.The new logo features aswirl of colors interactingaround a cross, which is atthe center of all Catholiceducation.

A couple of years agoI was walking throughour patch of woods whenI came across a largebucket nestled in the

hillside. Itwas filledwith silt soI decidedto emptyit.

No kid-ding, thatbucketwas wayheavierthan itshould

have been. The reason?A snapping turtle tum-bled out from the bot-tom. It was early springso it was still hibernat-ing. My first thoughtwas turtle soup. Ipushed it back into thebucket and had it hauledup the hill. Long storyshort, no soup was madefrom that irritable crea-ture. We let it go and itheaded down the hilltoward the river.

That brings me to thesingle subject of today’scolumn: mock turtlesoup. This will satisfythe many requests. Likegoetta, mock turtle soupis a cherished heirloomrecipe here. The formerCricket restaurantserved a version, and St.Rita’s school serves it attheir festival every year.Ron’s Roost on the westside has it on their me-nu, also.

The original real tur-tle soup was made fromgreen sea turtles.They’re an endangeredspecies and most live inthe Atlantic, Pacific and

Indian oceans. Mockturtle soup originated inEngland in the mid1800s. It later becamepopular in Germany. Idon’t have room for allthe recipes so check outmy website Aboutea-ting.com for more goodones.

Some original mockturtle soups were madefrom calf’s brains. OK,so I’m glad that groundbeef is the meat ofchoice now. If you don’twant to make it, Worth-more’s canned mockturtle soup is a good bet.I spoke with Phil Haock,whose granddad startedthe business in the ’20s.Phil said they sell hun-dreds of cases a weekfrom their Cincinnatifacility. Some goes toformer Tristaters whocan’t go without theirWorthmore. If you wantto make your own, hereare two reader favorites.

Jan 15 questionSome people have criticized

recent school closings due to coldweather. What do you thinkabout the practice of cancelingclasses when the mercury dips?

“I thought they canceled be-cause the buses can’t start if itwas too cold.”

Dana Edwards

“Quit treating kids like theyare glass statues ... Boone madethe right decision.”

James Bartley

“I think a better question is;do people know what the law iswhen a school bus is stoppedwith RED LIGHTS flashingand its STOP SIGN (arm) out??Today I saw 8 cars blow by abus when it was on Ewing Blvdin Florence today while a stu-dent was getting off the bus. Ifthat child was crossing thestreet she would of been hit!”

Jody Baudendistel Morrison

“That’s why buses areplugged in.”

Brenda Baker

“My daughter attends aschool that doesn’t use busesand we live out of district. Theyhardly ever have snow days ei-ther. We manage to get herthere alive and not frozen ev-ery day.”

Laura Whiting

“I don’t care how cold it gets.Send them to school! I stood outin severe cold, heat and rain.”

Mike Fryman

“Kids do get babied toomuch anymore.”

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONThe federal Energy Informa-tion Administration estimatesthe typical American house-hold will save $750 because oflower gasoline prices this year.Assuming that’s correct, howwill you use that $750?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers to [email protected] with Ch@troom in thesubject line.

Protect children and adults fromsecondhand smoke

I was raised on a 100-acrefarm in a traditional family, withanother hundred acres nextdoor that my uncle owned. Iwould not trade the experiencefor anything. I learned to appre-ciate nature, animals and Ilearned to work. Farming is onlyfor those that truly loved it.

We had beef cattle and raisedcorn, soybeans, hay, wheat, to-bacco and a big garden for thefamily.

After graduating from highschool, I went to the city to workand possibly raise a family aftermarriage. I did all of that plussome.

After the family was raisedand gone, I found myself enjoy-ing the company of others myage at a local karaoke establish-ment. Little did I know that fromenjoying a fun evening withfriends, my lungs would be over-taken by secondhand smoke.

I personally have never had ahabit of smoking. My doctor di-agnosed me with asthma. If youdon’t have asthma, then youhave no idea what it feels likewhen you can’t take a deepbreath, or complete a sentencewhen someone talks to you, andalways having to carry an inhal-er with you even if it doesn’t domuch good.

It’s important for everyone tohave clean air to breathe. It’s im-portant for babies and smallchildren, it’s important for par-ents to protect their childrenfrom secondhand smoke and it’simportant for all adults youngand older because of all the ef-fects secondhand smoke has onour bodies.

Even third-hand smoke is aproblem in our society.

People often say, I wish Icould help but they don’t knowhow. Call 1-800-372-7181 andleave a message for all the rep-resentatives and senators thatyou want clean air in Kentuckyand smoke-free environments.

LETTER TO THEEDITOR

When someone talks aboutveterans, what is the image inyour mind? An elderly manreminiscing about World WarII? A middle-aged man findingthe name of a comrade on theVietnam Veterans Memorial?A young man recovering fromwounds incurred in Iraq?

How about women doing allof that and more?

That is the image the Ken-tucky Department of VeteransAffairs will promote in 2015,the Year of the Woman Veter-an.

There are 33,000 womenveterans in Kentucky, nearly10 percent of the total veteran

population.They are vet-erans of everyconflict andpeacetimemilitary effortof the UnitedStates sincebefore WorldWar II. Theyare of everyrace, everyreligion, everysocio-econom-

ic background and every lifeexperience.

Women fly combat aircraft,serve on combat ships, guardconvoys, and serve as military

police, intelligence, civil af-fairs, signal, and medicaltroops.

Female service membersare expected to face the samerisks as their male counter-parts in today’s military opera-tions.

They are also far less likelythan their male counterpointsto seek and receive the veter-ans benefits and services theyhave earned.

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

Throughout the year, KDVAwill reach out to both women

veterans and the general pub-lic to honor our heroic womenveterans and connect them toveteran benefits and services.

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

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

2015 is your year, the yearKentucky Women veteransunite!

Heather French Henry is commis-sioner of the Kentucky Departmentof Veteran Affairs.

The Rouse Brothers Millsin Walton were powered bysteam. The grist mill was aroller mill that used the (then)modern steel rollers for grind-ing instead of mill stones. Amill pond was maintained tostore water for the thirsty

steam engine.They had acompanionsaw mill toproduce di-mensionallumber, andperhaps millwork, fromlocal timber.

The RouseBrothers’ millwas founded,owned andoperated by

Waltonians Allison MortimerRouse (1849-1929), his succes-sor son, W.O. Rouse (1872-1951) and Walter Rand Rouse(1850-1928). A.M. Rouse liveddiagonally across from themills at 77 South Main. RandRouse lived just two doorsnorth at No. 73. Both housesare still there.

The Rouse Brothers main-tained both mills from some-time before 1883 until some-time after 1910, on the (then)

southern edge of the town ofWalton. Some evidence in-dicates the mill complex sur-vived into the 1920s and suf-fered a fire. The mills werelocated on the east side ofMain Street and between itand the Southern Railroad.The mills serviced the townand nearby rural areas of bothKenton and Boone counties.They would mill wheat intotheir local brand of “Big Loaf”flour and grind corn into cornmeal depending upon needs.

The Rouse Brothers millpond was located where con-struction of the new under-pass beneath the SouthernRailroad destroyed the lastvestiges of it. The mill pondwas for years a landmark andrecreation spot for the locals.If the Rouse Brothers opposedice skating in winter, fishingand boating in the summerthey did not say so.

The mill pond far outlivedthe mills and is fondly remem-bered by older Walton resi-dents today, as it survivedwell into their lives. It becamea rite of passage for youngboys to stoop and walk thelength of the enclosed stone-lined spillway. Other rites ofpassage by boat or on the

banks by moonlight have notsurvived as a matter of publicrecord.

Much of what you see asthe older sections of Walton

today were built from Rousemilled lumber, and by mensustained by the bread fromtheir grist mill. At least twonotable local teachers, JuliaAdams Rouse (principal, ParkHills School), her daughterGeorgia (Latin/English, DixieHeights), two lawyers (Asa M.Rouse and son Mills) and anoted local author Jack Rouse(Civil War in Boone County,Kentucky), are descendedfrom these brothers.

George Rouse (perhapsunrelated) had an earlier millbetween Florence and Bur-lington. That mill was de-stroyed by the Union Armyfor having ground grain forthe Confederate Army in Sep-tember 1862. (Thanks to AsaM. Rouse and Bridget Strikerof the Boone County PublicLibrary for details.)

There is nothing about thedeath or near death of a child, atthe hands of their caretaker,which can be viewed positively.Despite this sad and stark reali-ty, we at Prevent Child AbuseKentucky (PCAK) are encour-aged by the release of the sec-ond annual report from theChild Fatality and Near FatalityExternal Review Panel.

This report reflects the workof a dedicated and voluntarymulti-disciplinary group ofprofessionals (including aPCAK representative). Thepanel’s commitment to data-driven, solution-focused recom-mendations are readily appar-ent in this report.

PCAK has long advocatedfor the establishment of thepanel. We strongly support theneed to conduct in-depth re-views of every child maltreat-ment fatality and near fatality.This review must be conductedwith two goals in mind – systemimprovement and prevention.

We are equally committed tothe belief this review must beconducted in an atmosphere oftransparency and accountabil-ity. While certainly not a finalstep, the recently releasedreport does represent a signifi-cant step in the right direction.

It should alsobe acknowl-edged thishopeful pro-gress is largelydue to a com-mitment madeby the currentadministration,the legislatureand many ad-vocates acrossthe state.

While this report is encour-aging, it is truly just an initialstep. If we are going to addressthis tragic issue, we must com-mit to ongoing work, dialogue,and perseverance in the face ofchallenges. As clearly indicatedin the report, change must oc-cur within multiple systemsand at all levels of governmen-tal leadership. The panel mustincrease its capacity to gatherdata, engage in critical analysisand develop specific recom-mendations.

The mental health system,law enforcement, courts andsocial services must each com-mit to shepherding changethroughout all of its programs.The General Assembly mustcontinue its bipartisan supportof the panel; and hold itselfaccountable to provide the

statutory framework and fiscalresources necessary to imple-ment panel recommendations.The administration must con-tinue to support the panel, whileassuring the level of autonomyand transparency necessary forthe panel to earn public trust.

Lastly, and perhaps mostimportantly, every citizen of thecommonwealth must make acommitment to child abuseprevention. This will involveeach of us becoming moreaware of the risks facing chil-dren today.

We all have a responsibilityfor a two-pronged approach toprevention. We must each com-mit to advocating for the sys-tem’s change. We must alsodisplay an equal commitment tosupporting the families andchildren around us. This com-mitment is perhaps the mostcritical; as we are ultimatelyresponsible for the health andsafety of the children in ourcommunity.

INDEPENDENCE — As a seniorleader now, Maggi Bosse andher teammates have embracedthe classic cliché that some-times taking a loss is worth it ifyou can learn from it.

The center for the SimonKenton High School girls bas-ketball team has helped thesquad rebound from its first lossof the season Jan. 13, 78-69 to ri-val Scott. SK won its next twogames to take a 16-1 record intoplay this week.

“We stepped back and wentover video to see what we didwrong, and now we’re back outwith a clean slate,” Bosse said.“It’s better in the long run. Wetry to fix things in practice andnow we’re ready to keep hus-tling. It’s better to lose now thanto lose when we actually can’tafford to lose.”

Head coach Jeff Stowers,who later that night watched hisson Keith Greene be inductedinto Newport High School’s Hallof Fame, liked the way his teamresponded to its first defeat.

“That game was over, andonce we left the locker room, weleft that game behind,” he said.“We know what we need to workon. It’s our decision-making. Ithas not been very good lately,but we’ll get back in the gym andtake care of it.”

The Pioneers have weath-ered the loss of 2014 graduateAbby Owings, last year’s lead-ing scorer who led the Pioneersto the Eighth Region champion-ship game. The guard was aspectator when SK beat ScottCounty 61-55 Jan. 17, having ar-rived after helping the ThomasMore College team to a key con-ference win over Saint Vincentthat afternoon. SK lost its top

four scorers from last season.Returning post player Bosse

has been a key part of this year’sstrong performances, averag-ing 15 points and seven re-bounds a game and shooting 49percent from the floor. She andsophomore center Madi Meierhave patrolled the paint. Meierposts 12 points and nine re-bounds a contest.

Freshman guard Ally Niecehas averaged 15 points per gamein her first season at SK, whereshe enrolled after playing thepast two seasons at Scott. Thenew starter for the Pioneers hasalready added veteran savvy tothe backcourt and has alsogrown enough to contribute in-side, where she is third on theteam with five rebounds a con-test.

“Ally is very heady,” Stowerssaid. “She’s a big guard that youhave to guard. You find a mis-match with her. We’ve got threegirls who are averaging doublefigures. Last year, we had oneperson and everything wentthrough her. Our inside gameworks because Maggi is verygood with her left hand and Ma-di is very good with her right.”

TAYLOR MILL — TheScott High School girlsbowling team has a lot tolive up to this season.

After the Eagles varsi-ty programs had agroundbreaking fall sea-son filled with regional ti-tles and other milestones,the winter indoor keglersof Scott are looking forrecords of their own.

Scott has not qualifiedfor the KHSAA stateteam tournament sincethe state began sanction-ing the sport three yearsago. This year’s Eagleshave an excellent chanceto do that this seasonwhen the Region 5 tour-nament begins Jan. 26.

“We have five stronggirls at this point,” saidhead coach Joe Lawson.“We have a good chanceat regionals because wehave five. Most teamsdon’t have five 140-plusaverage bowlers, butthey have a couple ofreally good ones.”

The regional teamtournament is decided bymatch play in the Bakerformat, in which fiveteammates roll twoframes apiece within asingle game, alternatingframes along the way.One player will rollframes 1 and 6, another 2and 7, and so on.

“The strength of aBaker team is having fivegirls,” Lawson said. “Ifyou have two or three, it’snot very good. I’ve beentrying to drill that intothem this year, tell them,‘look everybody gets two

frames, the first is as im-portant as the fifth.’ Itlooks promising if theycan stay together as ateam.”

The top bowler is ju-nior Becca Nienaber, whohas qualified for the statesingles tournament thepast two seasons. She fin-ished fourth in the regionin 2014. She averaged 166this year entering playJan. 15, ranking fifth inNorthern Kentucky.

Stephanie Ross (156),Amanda Connell (150),Stacey Dedden (148) andBrandi Trenkamp (143)round out the top five.Connell is up 35 pins fromlast year and shot 310(144-166) in a 4-3 win overNotre Dame Jan. 15.Trenkamp and Deddenare the two seniors on theroster.

Scott is 40.5-20.5 inpoints after the NotreDame match, and 7-1 inconference matches. TheEagles are second in theconference to BooneCounty.

Boone is not in Scott’sregion, and other coachesin Region 5 have said thatthe Eagles will be toughto beat as they look to addto the school’s trophycase, which has expandedfiguratively this yearwith all the titles fromlast fall. The regional sin-gles tourney is Jan. 26 atSuper Bowl Bellewood,and the team tourney isJan. 28. Scott can only en-ter four bowlers into sin-gles, which Lawson saidwill be tricky for him, buthe hopes the whole lineupcan get the team to statefor the first time.

“This team hasn’t beento state since it became asport. We went to stateyears ago when it was aclub sport, and a couple ofthe girls know about thatand they know it’s a bigdeal,” Lawson said. “Thisyear, we’re trying to car-ry on the great run Scotthas had.”

Scott bowlers roll into regionalsBy James [email protected]

AMY SCALF/THE COMMUNITY RECORDER

Stacey Dedden and Brandi Trenkamp, left, are two of the topbowlers for a Scott team hopeful to make its first statetournament.

Looking at the boxscores, this year’s editionof Thomas More Collegewomen’s basketball teamis nearly identical to lastyear’s. In 2014, the Saintsentered the postseasonranked third in the nationand advanced to the na-tional quarterfinals be-fore a knee injury to na-tional player of the yearSydney Moss derailed theSaints’ season.

Like last year’s team,this season’s Saintsopened their campaignwith a quality but closevictory, survived non-conference play un-scathed, then began dom-inating Presidents’ Ath-letic Conference foes. Acloser look at this year’steam will show it is fardifferent from last sea-son’s 31-1squad that madeprogram history by ad-vancing to the final eightof the tournament.

“There are a lot of dif-ferences,” said headcoach Jeff Hans. “Wegraduated two reallygood seniors. Every-body’s in a different role.”

The departure of cap-tains Devin Beasley andKatie Kitchen left a voidthat the Saints are stilltrying to fill. Senior guardSydni Wainscott (SimonKenton) has taken on alarger role as captain,while junior guard Moss(Boone County) leads byexample in her secondseason with the program.

“We’re still trying to

find someof thatleader-ship,” saidHans. “Ev-erybody’sgrowing.”

Fresh-man AbbyOwings

(Simon Kenton) has beenthe starter at point guardsince she arrived on cam-pus, filling the big shoesleft by the program’s all-time assist leader Beas-ley. Classmate Nikki Kier-nan (Newport CentralCatholic) has recoveredfrom a preseason injuryto provide valuable min-utes off the bench. Bothplayers average morethan 10 points per game.

Knowing that theywould be counting on bigcontributions from new-comers this year, includ-ing Lake Forest transferSam Cady, the returningplayers have challengedthe rookies since day one.

“At first, it was hardtrying to figure out rolesand how everyoneplayed,” said Moss. “Wehelped the freshmen getinto the swing of things byplaying tough defense onthem in practice.”

Moss’ recovery hasbeen impressive. Aftertearing her ACL in theElite Eight loss to Whit-man College on March 15,she was in the startinglineup when the Saintsopened this seasonagainst Maryville (Tenn.)on Nov. 21. She estimatesshe is still only at 80-85percent of full strength

and deals with the physi-cal and mental challengesof recovery each day.

“It’s probably a little ofboth. It depends on theday,” said Moss. “Physi-cally, I’m just trying tostrengthen and get backin shape and get used toplaying with a knee braceon. Mentally, I’m tryingnot to tear it again.”

Despite not yet feeling100 percent, Moss is stillfourth in the nation inscoring, averaging 22.3points per game throughThomas More’s first 14games, all victories. Thatis 5.5 points below her av-erage last season, whenshe tied the Division IIIsingle-season scoringrecord with 891 totalpoints.

The Saints lead the na-tion in scoring margin,winning by an average of33.8 points. They force 27turnovers per game. Al-though they have strug-gled to make shots in thehalf court, their transitiongame is often enough tooverwhelm opponents. Asthey continue to adjust tothe changes on the roster,this year’s Saints arerounding into form andare intent on making his-tory of their own.

“We have to continueto work on executing inthe half court when thegame grinds down,” saidHans. “We have to set thetempo to our pace and beactive defensively. We’restill very successful withwhat we do and happywith what we’ve accom-plished so far.”

Same start to season but manydifferences for Thomas MoreBy Adam [email protected]

Wainscott

Scott’s home win onTuesday over thepreviously unbeat-

en Simon Kenton girls’basketball team was itsfirst against the Pioneersin four years.

More importantly, itgave the guard-heavy Ea-gles belief that they cancompete with anybodyduring a season in whichthey are slowly buildingconfidence with youth.They started the sched-ule 12-5 without a lossboth in the 10th Regionand the 37th District.

“It was a great win forour kids. They were hun-gry,” said coach RhondaKlette. “It’s a great rival-ry, and we’re happy thatour kids were up for thegame. There were a lot ofemotions. I think it’smade them realize theycan play with any team.”

Last season’s Eaglesstandout Allison Niecetransferred to SimonKenton. She emerged asthe Pioneers’ leadingscorer as they bolted to a14-0 start. Some key Scottseniors graduated, leav-ing Klette with a core ofyoung players, mostlysophomores and fresh-men, with just three sen-iors.

“We have some solidkids who were over-looked a bit and in theshadows,” Klette said.

She’s in her 10th year atScott, her alma mater.

“People didn’t realizethe talent they brought,and it’s not just one per-son we can go to,” shesaid. “We have a lot ofkids that can score withthe ability to make shots.If one of them isn’t hav-ing a great night, thereare others who can.”

Having a big nightagainst the Pioneers wasfreshman guard AnnaClephane, who poured ina career-high 26 points,twice her season aver-age. Senior guard JennaTrimpe sank four 3-pointbaskets and scored 17points, two weeks afternotching her 1,000th ca-reer point against Col-lins. She averages 13 pergame.

Junior guard HollyKallmeyer had 13 pointsand a team-high nine re-bounds against the Pio-neers. She averages 9.6points and 4.5 rebounds.Freshman guard AlexisStapleton averages 12.4points and 5.2 rebounds.Forwards Madison Mey-er and Tori Dant are com-bining for 6.1 points and6.4 rebounds per game.

“Trimpe has steppedup as a leader on the floor.Clephane has improved;it’s just her second year.Kallmeyer is a kid whohas stepped up, too. She’skind of our energy,”Klette said. “We havegreat freshmen. We have

weapons around the pe-rimeter. That opens upthe other kids inside forbaskets, and defense’scan’t cheat in.”

The Eagles drilled Si-mon Kenton with 41.2percent (7-for-17) shoot-ing on 3-pointers, betterthan their season aver-age of 35.7 percent, off-setting monster nightsturned in by the Pioneers’Niece (20 points). MaggiBosse (26 points) and Ma-di Meier (10 points, 12 re-bounds 5 blocks).

Stapleton, Trimpe,Clephane and team-lead-er Megan Brennan (47.7percent) all are shootingbetter than 35 percent on3-pointers for the Eagles.

The Pioneers, beatingopponents by an averagemargin of 15 points, shotnearly 50 percent fromthe field, but Scott founda way to win. “We tried tokeep the ball out ofNiece’s hands, and attackand make them play de-fense,” Klette said. “Andwe got to the free-throwline (25-for-34).”

The Eagles have beendistrict runner-up fourtimes under Klette,Scott’s second-all-timeleading scorer. But theyhaven’t won a districttournament crown since2004. The Eagles wererunners-up last season onthe way to 19 wins. Theydidn’t win their 12thgame, however, untilJan. 31.

Bosse said the balanceof the team has beenvery helpful.

“I like how we hustleand go down the court.We’re fast-paced,” shesaid. “If one person ishaving a bad game, an-other can pick it up andsucceed.”

The Pioneers arecharging ahead towardtheir season goals. SKhosts Walton-Verona at 4p.m. Saturday in a key32nd District seedinggame. The Pioneersedged the Bearcats byfive points in their firstmeeting. SK then playsat Boone County Jan. 27and at Conner Jan. 28.Despite the loss to Scott,SK is in first place in Di-vision I of the Northern

Kentucky Athletic Con-ference, where the Pio-neers won their first con-ference championshiplast season.

Getting better is al-ways a key.

“These are all exhibi-tion games,” Stowerssaid. “We have to get bet-ter as we go along.”

Many of us are comingoff a busy season of bak-ing. Hopefully all your ef-forts resulted in delicious,successful recipes.

If there were prob-lems, don’t despair. TheUniversity of KentuckyCooperative ExtensionService recently offered aclass on “Your Baking In-gredients: They Make aDifference” with tipsfrom our office and theHome Baking Associa-tion. Over the next fewweeks, we will share someof these tips that might behelpful in baking yourValentine’s Day Treats.

We will review basicingredients in home-baked goods – their roleand some recommendedtips and techniques. Thisweek we will begin with

eggs.The purpose of eggs in

cooking include the fol-lowing:

» Contribute nutritionto our recipe – primarilyin the area of protein

» Gives rich flavor andcolor to a recipe

» Binds ingredients a dgives structure to a recipe

» Leavening – Incorpo-rates air (especially whenbeating whites)

» Binding» Thickening» Glazing» EmulsifyingAccording to the Home

Baking Association, inhome baking, neither theshell color nor the gradeof egg matter. The sizestandard of egg whencalled for in a recipe islarge (2 ounces) unlessotherwise stated. Some-thing as simple as using adifferent size egg canchange your recipe.

When adding eggs to ahome-baked item such ascookies or cakes, it is rec-ommended to leave themout at room temperaturefor about 30 minutes be-fore adding to the recipe.If eggs are too cold, they

do not hold air as well anddelays the creaming timeof the fat and sugar, as acold egg will rechill thefat. More air can be incor-porated with an egg atroom temperature than acold egg.

To quickly warm eggstaken from the refrigera-tor to use in a recipe, letthem sit 5-10 minutes in abowl of lukewarm water.Who wants to wait 30 min-utes when they are readyto bake?

If you have ever had arecipe that turned out dif-ferently than it did before– or one that you lovedwhen a friend made it, butfound it turned out differ-ently for you, it could beas simple as an ingredientadjustment. Eggs wereour topic this week, seeupcoming columns to en-lighten you about other in-gredients. As always, feelfree to contact the KentonCounty Extension officeat 356-3155 for specificquestions.

Matthews - Murray

Norman and Kimberli Matthews, of Fort Wain-wright, Alaska are happy to announce the engage-ment of their daughter, Melissa Marjorie-Mae Mat-thews to Nick Leonard Murray, son of John and AnnMurray, of Union, Kentucky.

Melissa graduated from East Anchorage High Schooland went on to the University of Kentucky where sheearned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, graduatingin May 2013. She is a 2nd Lieutenant in the Air Force,currently working Air Traffic Control with the F-22s atTyndall AFB in Panama City, Florida.

Nick, a graduate of Ryle High School, earned a Bach-elors of Business and Finance at the University of Ken-tucky and is also a 2nd Lieutenant in the Air Force,serving overseas at RAF Lakenheath, England as anInternational Contracting Officer. The wedding is planned for July, 2015.

Did you ever stop towatch a newborn and itsmother? Have you evernoticed where a newbornis most comfortable?

Newborns love to beburied in the chest oftheir mother – in fact, thecloser the better.

Why so close, youwonder? Many reasons.Possibly to muffle out theraging noise that sur-rounds them; to feel thewarmth, security andlove; simply to smell thesweet scent of the onewho cares for, protectsand loves her uncondi-tionally.

Newborns typically donot cry, fret, fuss or evenmove when they’re bur-ied so tight. Their intu-ition is so strong, theyrealize that when theyare that close, they aresafe; they are cared for;they are loved.

The intuition is thesame for the mother.Think about it – what isthe first thing a motherdoes when she sees herchild hurt or scared? Werun to them, pull them intight and let them knowthey are safe – some-times without speaking aword.

Thereis a par-allel herefor youand me.Lookcloselyand youwill seethe les-son.Whereshouldwe go

when we feel unhappy,unsafe, or simply un-done? Straight to the Onewho protects, cares forand loves us, God.

Did you know that youweren’t designed to wor-ry? Now you may want toargue this point with me;claiming genetics and agene pool filled withworriers dating back tothe Civil War. Yet, evenyour ancestors were notdesigned for worry. You(and they) were not de-signed to be fearful, ner-vous or anxious aboutany aspect of life. Hardto swallow I know, butlisten closely as Jesusteaches us how to navi-gate life. (Actually, itcould even be called TheSecret to Living a Suc-cessful Life.)

“Therefore, do notworry saying ‘what shallwe eat, or what shall

we drink, or what shallwe wear.’ For your heav-enly Father knows

that you need all thesethings. But seek ye firstthe kingdom

of God and His righ-teousness, and all thesethings shall be added toyou. Matthew 6: 31-34

So the next time worrycreeps in reminding youthat you have bills thatneed to be paid (and notenough money in theaccount,) or diseases thatcontinue to ravage thebodies of your loved ones(and no one seems tohave the cure), go buryyour face in the chest ofthe One who is in control– who will protect, pro-vide and offer peace inthe storm.

Jesus calls out, “Cometo me all who labor andare heavy laden and I willgive you rest.” Matthew11:28
