Kathleen Holden and herfamily wanted to pro-vide a home for one ormore children in need.

They started fostering. Twoyears later the “blessings”they’ve received in turn are“beyond words,” the Independ-ence woman said.

“We have three siblings withus, ages 4, 5 and 7. They’ve beenwith us almost two years,” shesaid. “In the beginning it wasrocky but you build a trust withthem and now, well, they’re mykids. Seeing them grow, seeingthem come full circle is justwonderful. The rewards aremore than we ever thoughtthey’d be when we signed up forthis.”

The Holdens have also beenan inspiration to their churchLakeside Christian Church,with campuses in LakesidePark, Hebron and Taylor Mill.The church is going to host a

Pre-Service Training at theLakeside Park location on But-termilk Pike in February.

“This is a great opportunityfor us to let the whole communi-ty know that they can help chil-dren in need,” Lakeside Chris-tian serve minister Russ How-ard said. “Having this trainingwas sparked out of a deep senseof what we’re supposed to do.Everyone should feel safe andvalued. We want to love Jesusand love like Jesus, this is a liv-ing out of that love.”

Howard said the goal of thetraining is to help anyone curi-ous about fostering or adoptionan opportunity to learn more.The training is open to the pub-lic.

The training, offered by theKentucky Cabinet for Healthand Family Services, will beheld every Tuesday 6-9 p.m. un-til Tuesday, April 5. To register,call Kentucky Foster Care/Adoption Intake line at 859-292-

Kenton County will explorethird-party management op-tions for the Kenton CountyGolf Courses.

In January, the KentonCounty Fiscal Court formallyfired golf course manager DanMoening. In November, Moen-ing was fired by County Ad-ministrator Joe Shriver afterTreasurer Roy Cox found andinvestigated irregularities inthe public golf courses’ books.

Looking into third-partymanagement was one of sever-al recommendations made inthe National Golf Foundation’srecent review. The FiscalCourt voted unanimously Jan.26 to seek out bids for third-party management compa-nies.

“We are only exploring theoption at this point,” AssistantCounty Administrator ScottGunning said.

The county is also lookinginto reinstating a golf advisorygroup made up of local golfers.

“We are still considering po-tential candidates with thejudge-executive forming thatcommittee,” Gunning said.

“We envision the committeeserving as an advisory groupduring the (bidding) process.”

Richard Singer, NationalGolf Foundation senior direc-tor of consulting, presented areview of operations of theKenton County Gold Coursesto the Fiscal Court. Kenton Fis-cal Court is among numerouscommunities that haveplugged losses on golf courseswith public money. Last yearthe Fiscal Court paid $250,000,

a budgeted loan payment fromthe county that the golfcourses could not pay back, ac-cording to Gunning. In 2015,the Fiscal Court also hired thefoundation to evaluate itscourses and help figure outbest ways to sustain them.

Another recommendation,Singer said, is to consider re-ducing from 54 to 36 holes.

as well as provide the nec-essary information forhistorical designation likethe National Historic Reg-ister of Historic Places,”he said. “Homes can beconsidered historical fortheir architectural style,former resident or eventsthat may have taken placewithin the structure or onthe property. It is also justa lot of fun to figure outwho may have lived inyour house at one time oranother and what mayhave transpired there.”

The next program,“Over the Rhine: WhenBeer Was King,” will be 7p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 23. Lo-cal author Mike Morganwill take a look into thehistory of beer brewing inCincinnati.

Northern KentuckyUniversity professor PaulTenkotte said he is lookingforward to the history se-ries. “I love sharing sto-ries and photographs withothers who share my en-thusiasm for history,” hesaid.

Tenkotte will presentthe final program in theseries, “Erlanger: FromRailroad Suburb to Ex-pressway Suburb,” 7 p.m.Thursday, Feb. 25. His in-terest in Erlanger historywas sparked in the 1980swhen researching his dis-sertation about NorthernKentucky. He was in-trigued with how Erlang-er had received its name.

“There were manymyths,” Tenkotte said. “Imanaged to uncover thetrue story, that it wasnamed after Baron Fred-erick Emile d’Erlanger, ofErlangers Limited in Lon-don. Erlangers Limitedwas one of the major in-vestment banks in theworld in the late 19th cen-tury. Baron Erlangerowned majority stock inthe Cincinnati, New Or-leans and Texas PacificRailroad, which was thelessee of the CincinnatiSouthern Railroad that op-erated through the city.”

ERLANGER - Remi-nisce about the past andlearn about the history ofyour own back yard at theErlanger library’s localhistory series.

The Erlanger branch ofthe Kenton County PublicLibrary, 401Kenton LandsRoad, is offering a localhistory series that will fo-

cus on finding the historyof your home, learningabout beer brewing in Cin-cinnati and discussinghow Erlanger went fromthe railroad suburb to theexpressway suburb.

“People love to learnabout their own communi-ty and reminisce about thepast, and these sorts ofprograms give them achance to do that in a waythat they don’t often get tofrom a historical programthat is more removedfrom their own experi-ence,” said Chris Oaks, Er-langer’s adult program-ming librarian.

Oaks said the libraryhas hosted the history pro-gram for several years.

“There are many histo-ry buffs in our communi-ty, so dedicating a series to

local history seemed onlynatural,” Oaks said.“Knowing about local his-tory gives you a sense ofbelonging in your commu-nity, and of course, at thelibrary one of our mis-sions is to connect peopleto their history and fosterthat sense of community.”

The first program,“How to Discover the His-tory of Your House,” willbe 7-8 p.m. Tuesday, Feb.16. Kentucky history li-brarian Bill Stolz willshare tips and resourcesfor researching history ofhomes and buildings inNorthern Kentucky.

“We are very fortunatein Northern Kentucky tohave such a huge collec-tion of homes and struc-tures with historical andarchitectural signifi-cance,” Stolz said. “Somethat come to mind includethe Rugby at 622 SanfordSt. in Covington and Elm-wood Hall in Ludlow.”

According to Stolz,“history connects us toour communities, neigh-borhoods and neighbors.”

Niergarth, who willbe heading the trainingseries at Lakeside Chris-tian, said it’s importantto have partners like thechurch to combat thegrowing need for fostercare.

“We are always tryingto find new places in thecommunity to hold the10-week training,” shesaid. “Sometimes it’s astruggle to find a loca-tion that commits to our10 weeks straight, andLakeside Christianreached out to us and we

are very appreciative ofthe opportunity to hold itthere.”

The in-formational meeting willprovide a general over-view of the program, andend with families com-pleting paperwork forbackground checks.Each class covers a dif-ferent topic related toparenting children incare.

“You can be married,single or divorced totake the training,” shesaid. “You have to bephysically and emotion-ally healthy, and finan-cially stable. You canrent or own your home.You must be able to passbackground checks withno crimes again a child.A home study will becompleted with yourfamily to determine ifyou are able to meet theneeds of the children andfamilies the cabinetserves.”

» maximizing the use

of technology and mar-keting;

» and embracing andimplementing new activ-ities that appeal to lesstraditional golfer seg-ments, especially femalegolfers.

He also said that thecounty is already start-ing to invest in equip-ment and upgradingamenities.

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

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

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

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

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

Wuchner said. Tim Morton died in

March 2014 after beinghospitalized for mentalillness 37 times, accord-ing to the National Alli-ance on Mental Illness ofKentucky. HB 94 wouldallow judges to ordercourt-supervised treat-ment in some cases to con-tinue a person’s treatmentwhen they are not forciblyhospitalized.

Wuchner said she ex-pects a large crowd forSaturday’s forum sinceit’s one of the few chancesmembers of the publichave a chance to talk tomultiple legislators at onelocation.

“It’s really an impor-tant time for us to listen,”Wuchner said. “It’s not somuch us talking or beingpolitical.”

Northern KentuckyArea Development Dis-trict (NKADD) staff will

help the legislative cau-cus host the forum.

NKADD executive di-rector Lisa Cooper said all17 legislators in the cau-cus are invited. With leg-islators’ schedules and anongoing budget session inFrankfort confirmationof which legislators willattend is not available,Cooper said.

How long people haveto speak with legislatorsdepends upon how manypeople sign up to speak,she said.

People at previous fo-rums have been allotted atime limit to speak lastingsomewhere around two orthree minutes, Coopersaid.

Groups are encour-

aged to elect a spokesper-son to speak on their issueor concern rather than re-peating the same mes-sage, she said. There is atwo-hour time limit forthe forum.

“It’s a completely openforum,” Cooper said.“We’re there at 8:30 a.m.and it’s a first-come, first-served basis.”

Last month’s Northern Kentucky Forum was standing roomonly to hear a preview of General Assembly issues.

One of the things Ten-kotte enjoys most aboutErlanger’s history is that

the city is one of the bestexamples regionally of arailroad suburb, whereresidents commuted dailyon passenger cars to theirjobs in Cincinnati.

“Our history defineswho we were, who we are,

and what we can hope tobecome,” he said.

Kenton County FiscalCourt has filed a lawsuitagainst former golfcourse manager Dan

Moening.“Our

goal in fil-ing thislawsuit isto protectany possi-ble assetsMr. Moen-ing has torepay the

county and that’s why wehave moved so quickly,”Judge-executive KrisKnochelmann said. “Wewant to hold all staff ac-countable to our proce-dures and protect the as-sets of the county.”

The suit, filed Thurs-day in Kenton CircuitCourt, accuses Moeningof fraud, conversion, neg-ligent misrepresentation,breach of judiciary duty,negligence and unjust en-richment.

The Fiscal Court for-mally fired Moening dur-ing a special meeting Jan.19 for “violations of ad-ministrative policies andprocedures including butnot limited to incompe-tency, inefficiency, ne-glect of duty, failures ofproper cash managementand insubordination,” ac-cording to Knochelmann.

In November, Moen-ing was fired by CountyAdministrator Joe Shri-ver after Treasurer RoyCox found and investigat-ed irregularities in the

public golf courses’books.

Moening, who earneda salary of $52,031 pluscommission on pro-shopsales at about $30,000 an-nually, had been with thegolf courses most recent-ly since 2011. A year be-fore that, after 18 yearswith the county golfcourses, he was laid offalong with three others ina reorganization of thegolf courses.

Moening appealed thatlayoff in 2010, arguing itwas a political move, andin 2011 he was hiredagain. And, in 2012, hewas made general man-ager of the Golf Coursesof Kenton County.

TAYLOR MILL - Ran-dy George needed to quitsmoking if he was going tolive.

That’s what his doctortold him after he had aheart attack and twostents placed five years

ago.Cold turkey didn’t

work. E-cigarettes hebought at the gas stationdidn’t work either. So, hedecided to try a vape shop.The devices he purchasedat the vape shop proved“satisfying” and helpedhim and his wife kick thehabit of cigarettes.

This success inspiredhim to open his own vapeshop, but he wanted his tobe different – to not justsell products, but to edu-cate customers and cre-ate a community for thosetrying to kick the habit.

“I wanted to teach peo-ple the health benefits ofvaping instead of smok-

ing. I wanted to help otherpeople quit the bad habitlike my wife and I did soeasily. With those dreamsand goals set, I openedClub Vape,” he said.

Since then Club Vape inFlorence has expanded toa location in Hebron andmost recently a location inTaylor Mill. Randy hasalso brought his son, JesseGeorge, in on the busi-ness.

According to Jesse, it’sgreat working with hisdad, but the best part ofhis job is “watching thelook on people’s faceswhen they come back inthe shop and say that it’sworking for them, too.”

Research, he said, byPublic Health Englandconcluded that e-ciga-rettes are significantlyless harmful to healththan tobacco and have thepotential to help smokersquit smoking. The UK re-port said that e-cigarettesare 95 percent less harm-ful than smoking.

Although more re-search needs to be con-ducted, the KentuckyCenter for Smoke-free

Policy said that e-ciga-rettes pose health con-cerns because using elec-tronic cigarettes for evena span of five minutes hasbeen found to cause lungeffects similar to smok-ing.

Also, volatile organiccompounds, carcinogensand particulate air pollut-ants have been found inthe vapor of electroniccigarettes, potentially en-dangering others sharingthe indoor air.

“There are a lot ofmyths out there aboutvaping,” Jesse said. Butfor him, his dad, and manyof their customers vapingis the only thing that’s ledthem to quit smoking.

Jesse said he was even-tually able to wean him-self off of nicotine andnow only vapes the juices.“It’s awesome,” he said. “Ismell better, I feel better.”

Friday, Jan. 29, was a nightof remembering the victo-rious 2005 and 2006 Dixie

Heights Cheerleaders on the10th anniversary of their back-to-back national championships.

After winning in 2004-05, theyear began with great excite-ment, the squad nearly doubledin size and competed in a super-large division. Pride was burst-ing at the annual Northern Ken-tucky Cheerleading Coaches As-sociation Competition, whichtook place right at DixieHeights. Dixie swept the event,propelling them on their way tothe nationals in Orlando, Florida.

The first day of the Orlandocompetition went perfectly, butthe excitement was soon metwith devastation and tears onthe second day. During their per-formance a team member suf-fered a severe knee injury whileperforming a tumbling passwith a double full twist.

The routine was stopped and,as their injured teammate wasattended to. The team met back-stage to contend with the emo-tions, to pull together to reworkthe routine and once again stepon the mat to perform.

As they readied themselvesto step back on stage, they wereintroduced by a deejay whoplayed “Ain’t No Mountain HighEnough” and were met withrousing cheers of support fromthe crowd and other participat-ing teams from across the coun-try.

Energized by the support,they performed at a very highlevel and won their second con-secutive national championship.

Members of the 2004-05team: Jessica Aker, Rachel Alig,Heather Barhorst, Kenda Con-ley, Jessica Hardy, MeaghanHuffman, Katie Legman, Mea-gan Matthews, Nikki Matthews,Chelsea Mauck, Erin Miller, Am-ber Morris, Samantha Moyer,Cassie Palmer, Ashley Simmons,Holly Stanek, Amanda Thamesand Cameron Yates.

The 2005-06 team: HeatherBarnhorst, Lindsey Blades, Ken-da Conley, Shannon Crone, Am-ber Dickson, Lindsay Doellman,Kara Fox, Jamie Fritz, RachelGumble, Jessica Hardy, Lauren

Jansing, Taylor Jansing, KatieLehman, Meagan Matthews,Nikki Matthews, ChelseaMauck, Amber Morris, CassiePalmer, Erica Peterson, KramerPike, Ashley Simmons, KelseySt. John, Holly Stanek, AbbySteffen, Whitney Wang, CassieWhitaker, Becky Williams andChelsea Winters.

In 2004 the gymnasium andfoyer at Dixie was remodeledinto the current configurationand then repainted again in 2010.Lost in the remodel and repaint-ing were the original bannersthat proudly hung to recognizeaccomplishments of the studentathletes of the school. The Ath-letic Department has underta-ken the take of reconstructingthe banners to display those pastathletic accomplishments. OnJan. 29 the department unveiledthe first in that series in recog-nition of this 10th anniversary ofthose back-to-back NationalCheer Championships.

The 2005 and 2006 cheerlead-ing squads and the DixieHeights community wish thisyear’s squad well as they go toOrlando, Florida, this weekendto compete in the national cham-pionship.

PUZZLE ANSWERS

FEBRUARY 4, 2016 • SOUTH KENTON RECORDER • 7ANEWS

I just loved the request froma Northern Kentucky readerfor a Valentine’s Day recipe.

“My husband keeps talkingabout his mom’s Swiss steak.All he remembers is that shepounded salt and pepper intothe meat with flour, browned itand then baked it with toma-toes. It had cheese on the topand was his favorite. I wouldlike to make this as a surpriseValentine’s Day dinner for him. Ifyou have a recipe that is close, Iwould really appreciate it,” shesaid.

Well, I not only have arecipe that looks likewhat she wants, I thinkthis one might be whathis mom made.

I also wanted to sharesome truffle recipes.There are two recipeshere: one for adults andone for kids. I’ve got allbases covered!

Rita Nader Heiken-feld is an herbalist, educator, Jun-gle Jim’s Eastgate culinary profes-sional and author. Find her blog on-line at Abouteating.com.

‘I love you’ oven Swiss steak

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

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

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

Elegant chocolate truffles

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

into very small pieces1 teaspoon vanilla

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

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

Coating:

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

Tiny sprinkles/nuts, etc. (optional)

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

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

Oreo truffles

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

Coating:

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

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

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

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

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

THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

It’s that time of year – chocolate and Oreo truffles.

Needle exchange sendsthe wrong message

In regards to the article onneedle exchange in your Jan. 28publication (“Health leaderspitch heroin needle swap toFlorence”) it seems to be one-sided, While a needle exchangemight help control the spread ofHIV and hepatitis, it’s also tell-ing drug addicts that it’s OK tobe a drug addict, as long as youuse a clean needle.

It’s not OK to be an addict.A lot of people like to say ad-

diction is a disease. A disease issomething you have no controlof – cancer, MS, ALS – those areknown as diseases.

Heroin is not a disease, it’s achoice. Nobody holds an addictdown and forces the needle intotheir arm the first time, nor the

second, third and so on. My daughter was an addict. I

say was because she died of anoverdose at the beginning ofDecember 2015. It was herchoice to stick that needle in herarm. Nothing else mattered, nother children, family, friends.The help she was offered wasignored or used to her advan-tage. She was at one time a hap-py, healthy girl – she turned intoa shell of the girl she was. Shewas only 27 when her life ended.Is that what we all want?

Instead of getting heroin outof our cities, counties and neigh-borhoods, let’s just give thempermission to keep using drugs,just as long as they use cleanneedles. What’s wrong with thispicture?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Last week’s questionWho will be President of the

United States one year from to-day? Why will he or she have won?

“One year from today we willbe hailing the almighty and mag-nificent President Trump. I amnot saying I agree with thischoice, but yet again it will be amatter of the majority of thepopulation voting against thegreater evil rather than for thebest choice. I truly long for anelection where we can in goodconscience vote for the rightcandidate with passion and be-lief that he or she is the best andcorrect choice for the highest of-fice in our society. Trump simplyhas too much momentum, mediapresence and too many faithfulfollowers to be stopped. He issaying the things that too manyof us feel need to be said, andwhich the other hopefuls are tooPC to state.

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONA 2015 Kentucky law allowsoperation of syringe accessexchange programs at the locallevels to reduce the threat ofinfectious diseases spread byintravenous drug use. Howshould your county deal withthe question of the proposedneedle exchange?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers to ndaly@communitypress.comwith Ch@troom in the subject line.

“What breaks your heart?”I was at a conference and thespeaker asked this question ofthe audience. In my work, Iam accustomed to asking peo-ple what they are interestedin, excited, even passionateabout. But this questionstopped me cold.

Let me back up. I believethat when we limit our defini-tion of our careers to just whatwe are paid to do, we miss thebiggest picture; the opportuni-ty to engage in the world withour full skill set and with ourcomplete hearts and souls. Ifyou enjoy coaching girls bas-ketball, that is part of who youare and even it if it is purely avolunteer endeavor, it is a partof your unique career set, oryour “big picture.”

Take a minute and ask your-self what your total career is.What does it include, and whatwould you like it to have moreof? If you are an animal lover,and spend any time or re-sources on animal-relatedcauses, that is part of yourcareer – part of who you are.

I knew I wanted to do some-thing to help dogs, but I alsoknew that was too broad of adesire. When a goal is too bigor too vague, your chances ofreaching it diminish, versusdeveloping concrete, action-able goals. What breaks myheart? When I really thoughtabout that question, I had an

“aha” mo-ment.

Senior dogsdumped atshelters be-cause they aresenior dogs.That breaksmy heart topieces.

Now what?I know I

can’t volun-teer in a shelter. My emotionswould not survive and I wouldlive as a blubbering mess. Ihave tremendous respect forthose who do. I give money, Iget the word out, I work toconnect people and resources.I have as many dogs as I can inmy home. But still, I knewthere was more I could do.

When facing the emptynest, we decided that we want-ed more dogs. I knew the num-ber was not 50, but it alsowasn’t three. We built a homeon 15 acres and attached asenior doggie recreation room,dogs runs and a fenced-inyard. It is a place for eightsenior dogs who were given upjust for being old, to live outtheir days in comfort and love.

I knew we had done theright thing when we got ourfirst resident: Mitzi. It’s nosecret that the gray muzzledoes not increase yourprospects for being selectedby shelter visitors. Maybe it

was my imagination, but whenI whispered in her ear that shewas now safe, those tiredbones took a deep breath andher whole body relaxed.

Our world is not lacking inthings to be heartbroken over.It can paralyze us into inactionor just the feeling that wecan’t do anything that matters.There is no right or wronganswer to this question.

I am constantly amazed byour community’s love for ani-mals. Animal lovers are givers– and so are animals.

My Furry Valentine, a non-profit organization that hostsan annual event to bring peo-ple and adoptable pets togeth-er, is a way that you can getinvolved. To date My FurryValentine has found homes fornearly 2,000 shelter pets in thelast five years. My Furry Val-entine, the region’s largestannual animal adoption event,will be held on Saturday andSunday, Feb. 13 and 14, from 11a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Sharon-ville Convention Center, 11355Chester Road, Cincinnati, OH45246.

St. Elizabeth Healthcare isfortunate to be part of agroundbreaking study lookingat how to reduce inpatientheart attack deaths by influ-encing organizational culture.For this study, inpatient heartattack deaths means someonedies while in the hospital fol-lowing a heart attack.

Leadership Saves Lives is atwo-year project involvinghealth systems across thecountry sponsored by YaleGlobal Health LeadershipInstitute. St. Elizabeth isjoined in this venture by nineother Mayo Clinic Care Net-work members.

St. Elizabeth is the onlyhealth system in the regionparticipating in this study, thefirst of its kind to look at howorganizational culture affectspatient outcomes. It’s uniquebecause of its use of quantita-tive and qualitative data –which is uncommon in medicalstudies.

Kentucky ranked 43rdworst among U.S. states forcardiovascular deaths from1990-2014, according to Amer-ica’s Health Rankings. Ohiowas No. 40 and Indiana No. 39.That same organization re-cently released its annualreport that rated Kentucky44th worst in healthy behav-iors, determinants and out-comes. Ohio is No. 39 andIndiana No. 41.

Heart disease is, of course,the leading cause of death inthe United States for men andwomen.

The Yale study’s goal is tolearn how patients, familymembers, emergency medicaltechnicians, emergency room

personnel,physicians,nurses, phar-macists,health careadministra-tors and oth-ers can collab-orate to pro-vide the bestcare and bestoutcomespossible.

Community education is akey component.

One example: If you experi-ence heart attack symptoms, itis important you know youshould call 911 immediately.We can’t stress enough thepositive benefits of that.

According to a St. Elizabethtimeline evaluation, more than50 percent of heart attackpatients do not call 911 andarrive by car rather than bylife squad, and they are wait-ing an average of nine hoursbefore they seek care (eithercalling 911 or driving them-selves to the emergencyroom). Making that 911 call –and making it sooner – can bea life-saving decision.

The Yale study, co-spon-sored by The Medicines Com-pany, will likely be completednext summer. But we’ve al-ready learned why organiza-tional culture is so important.As Dr. Victor Schmelzer, mycolleague and medical directorof the St. Elizabeth HealthcareHeart and Vascular Institute,says: It starts with a commit-ted administration that sup-ports innovation and fosters acollaborative environment.

Some examples of what’sahead:

» St. Elizabeth Healthcarewill work with communityEMS providers to improveinformation received fromemergency medical servicesprior to arrival at the hospital.St. Elizabeth is securing agrant to purchase software tosupport Pulsara, new technol-ogy that will enhance EKGstransmitted from EMS person-nel to hospitals prior to patientarrival.

» EMS and St. Elizabethstaff will meet regularly toreview processes of care,seeking opportunities for con-tinued improvement.

» We will increase commu-nity education initiatives,including an enhanced focuson the importance of timelyresponse to symptoms and theimportance of calling 911.

» We will increase pharma-cy involvement in care ofheart attack patients.

» We will continue to iden-tify and implement new tech-nology. One example is therecent implementation ofPulsePoint, a bystander CPRactivation app.

St. Elizabeth has estab-lished a goal of reducingheart-related deaths by 25percent in Northern Kentuckywithin 10 years of opening theHeart & Vascular Institute lastspring.

Participating in this studyand developing actionableitems is just one of many waysin which we will continue toimprove the health of ourcommunity today and in thefuture.

There might not be a morepotent scoring duo in NorthernKentucky girls basketball thanthe pair of sophomores leadingScott High School.

The Eagles average 61.8points per game. SophomoresAnna Clephane and Alexis Sta-pleton combine to score 37.1 ofthose. Clephane leads the way at19.8 points per game on 43.5 per-cent shooting. Stapleton is notfar behind, averaging 17.3points on 38.8 percent shooting.They feed off of and comple-ment one another’s games.

“Both Anna and Alexis runthe floor very well and movewell without the ball,” saidcoach Rhonda Klette. “Theyreally look for each other andwork well together creatingshots for each other.”

Clephane is most dangerouswith the ball in her hands. Sheloves to attack the rim and leadsthe team by a wide margin infree-throw attempts, with 155.Stapleton benefits from de-fense collapsing on Clephane’sdrives; she is the team’s dea-deye shooter, knocking down36.4 percent of her 118 three-point attempts. Opposing de-fenses have to pick their poison.

“Teams have tried to key onthem and take away Anna’sdrive to the basket,” said Klette.“When that happens, we are for-tunate to have had other playersstep up, which opens up Alexis’soutside shooting as you cannotleave her open.”

This is not a breakout seasonfor the pair. They emerged asdouble figure scorers at the var-sity level as freshmen last sea-son when Clephane scored 13.7points per game and Stapletonaveraged 12.5. They have takentheir games to the next levelthis season, especially aftersenior Holly Kallmeyer brokeher hand.

“Last season they reallystepped into their own. Both be-came confident players andlearned to really work togeth-er,” said Klette. “This seasonwhen Holly went down, Annaknew she had to become more ofa scorer and Alexis realized shehad to push the tempo.”

Kallmeyer and the team’sother senior, Tori Dant, havedone what they can to boost the

team despite battling injuries.They have put their trust in theunderclassmen to carry the pro-gram this year.

“Both have been injured andmissed several games, but theirsupport of our team has been asteady influence,” said Klette.“They are providing confidencein our young players and havebeen positive role models in thelocker room and off the court.”

The Eagles are 12-8 enteringFebruary. Five of those eightlosses were by five points orfewer. Once the two seniors re-turn to complement and takesome pressure off of the do-it-all sophomores, the Eagles willhave some much-needed depth.The seniors will also bring asense of urgency down thestretch. Scott has advanced tothe Tenth Region semifinalseach of the past two seasons andsuffered a crushing one-pointdefeat to end last season. Theseniors are determined to breakthrough to the regional final thisyear. They have two talentedsophomore teammates whocould carry them that far.

“We are still learning thestyle of basketball we need toplay to be successful and get-ting our seniors back and in themix will provide us with a bigpush down the stretch as theywant to keep playing as long aspossible,” said Klette. “Theirfight and determination willhelp push us into the postsea-son.”

Vanessa Cheesman and theSimon Kenton High Schoolgirls bowling team continue tomake history for the program,as they will try to make a namefor themselves at the KHSAAstate bowling tournament Feb.11-12 in Lexington.

The Pioneers finished asRegion 5 team runner-up forthe second straight season andwill return to the state teamtourney. Cheesman qualifiedas an individual in the singlestournament and became thefirst Pioneer female to do so.

In the team tourney, SK wasthe second seed after averag-ing 158 in qualifying. The Pio-neers beat Newport and ad-vanced to finals against theBluebirds, locking up a trip tostate in the process as the toptwo teams advance there.

After Highlands won thefirst two games, SK won thenext two, and Highlandspulled out the game five win ina high-scoring 194-167 clash.The matches were in the Bak-er format, in which five team-mates alternate frames witheach one rolling two framesapiece in the same game.

The Pioneers counteredwith Cheesman, SavannahCorwin, Erica Travis, MariahBush and Michelle Thomas inbeing runner-up to Highlandsfor the second straight year.

“They were regional run-ner-ups last year and this yearat least we took Highlands tofive games,” said SK headcoach David Hampton. “Wemade a little adjustment thelast two games to send it to thefifth game and we came up alittle short. Great bowling byboth teams.”

Cheesman, a senior, wastwo days removed from be-coming the first SK girl toqualify for the state singlestournament.

“We had a lot of practicecoming in,” she said. “Weshowed it. We picked up ourspares and really worked as ateam. We put up a fight. We’reall really close. When we gotout one the lanes, we reallywork together.”

In the singles tourney,Cheesman averaged 183 inqualifying to advance to stateand lost 191-144 to Dayton’sElizabeth Masminster in thestepladder finals.

“She has been with us three

years,” Hampton said. “She’sdeveloped her game. She’smade great strides. Kudos toher and the girls bowling pro-gram. She stepped up todaywhen we needed her as a sen-ior.”

“It’s crazy,” Cheesman said.“I’ve never been, so it’s allsoaking in. I’m just reallyhyped. The relationships I’vebuilt, those are pretty impor-tant to me. We went last yearand it was way more than Ithought it would be. We’ve

been tournaments, and it waslike that times 10.”

In boys singles, Simon Ken-ton’s Jacob Lawson finishedthird in the Region 5 tourna-ment to advance to state. Hewas the second seed in qualify-ing after shooting 1,162 (232.4average) for five games, in-cluding a near-perfect 290 anda 256. Lawson lost 276-179 toHighlands’ Jake Farley in thestepladder finals.

SHORT HOPS

James Weberjweber@communitypress.com

The dream of a returnto a two-division NorthernKentucky Athletic Confer-ence swimming and div-ing championship meetwas realized Friday andSaturday at Scott, andmany of the desired ef-fects were achieved.

When conference ath-letic directors voted lastyear to split the meet intocompetitions for DivisionI big school and Division IIsmall school individualand team crowns, the hopewas to create a more com-petitive environmentwhile creating the oppor-tunity for added recogni-tion.

Mission accomplished,said Holy Cross coachSeth Jansen.

“This year was the firstyear that NKAC was splitinto two divisions since atleast the early ‘90s,” Jan-sen said. “(It’s) the firstyear in school history thatHoly Cross has had a teamconference championshipin boys, girls, or com-bined, or an individualconference champion. Athird-place combined fin-ish by Campbell Countywould be their highest in along time. I know that St.Henry has not had muchconference success be-fore, as well.”

There were plenty ofothers excited about theiraccomplishments in thepool in Taylor Mill.

Holy Cross and St. Hen-ry emerged as new kids onthe championship block inDivision II, while Coving-ton Catholic, Notre DameAcademy and Highlandsassumed their usualperches at the top of Divi-

sion I.Notre Dame won its

18th consecutive NKACgirls’ title with 437 points,outpacing runner-upHighlands (251) and DixieHeights (230). NotreDame sophomore SophieSkinner won the 100-yardfreestyle, repeated in the200 free and earned the Di-vision I top female com-petitor award.

CovCath won its thirdstraight NKAC crownwith 408 points. Highlands(272) was second, followedby Dixie Heights (171).Scott junior Ty Grubb re-peated in the 100 breast-stroke and was second inthe 200 individual medley,and was named Division Itop male competitor.

Highlands (523) wonthe Division I combinedteam title over DixieHeights (401), which hadwon two of the previousthree years with one High-lands interruption. Camp-bell County (155) wasthird.

Jansen, who doubles asKenton County AquaticsDirector, watched histeam make a big splash inDivision II. Holy Cross

won the combined teamcrown and the girls’ cham-pionship for the first time.The Indians (524.5) beatrunner-up St. Henry (481)in the combined standings,and edged the Crusaders305-233 in girls’ action.

St. Henry (248) won theboys’ small-school titleover runner-up Holy Cross(219). Villa Madonna wasthird across the board inboys’, girls’ and combined.“It was exciting with twodivisions,” St. Henrycoach Clare Grosser said.“It’s nice to be comparedto your own size.”

Holy Cross swept thesmall-school individualhonors. Megan Nielanderwon the 50 and 100 free-style races and was topfemale competitor. Fellowjunior Michael Ackleycaptured the 50 free and100 backstroke, and tookthe top male competitoraward.

Diving championswere Scott’s Lindsey Foxin Division I girls, Beech-wood’s Abby Miller in Di-vision II girls, CovCath’sEven Brungs in D-1 boysand St. Henry’s DallasCorsmeier in D-2 boys.

Olivia Nagen and Notre Dame won the NKAC girls’ title for the18th straight time.

All eyes will be on Do-novan Pogue when theThomas More Saints opentheir baseball season inMarch.

The reigning Presi-dents’ Athletic Confer-ence Player of the Year be-came the first Saint toearn first team All-Ameri-ca honors following the2015 season and enters2016 as a preseason firstteam All-American.

After racking up 67 hitswith a .450 batting averageand a whopping 1.216 OPSlast season, Pogue has atough act to follow. TheSharonville native is notnervous at all.

“I didn’t realize howgood I was hitting. Every-thing seemed to flow natu-rally,” said Pogue of his ju-nior season. “I don’t reallyfeel any more pressurethan I did last year. I’mready to get out there andI’m looking forward toseeing how much our teamhas improved.”

Pogue is naturally quietand leads by example. Af-ter showing patiencewhile serving primarily asthe Saints’ designated hit-ter the past three years, hewill be showcasing his fullgame this season at firstbase.

“I feel like I’ve alwaysbeen confident in my field-

ing,” hesaid. “It’sjust a mat-ter of get-ting morereps.”

The factthat he hadto bide histime and

continued to improve (28hits as a freshman, 53 as asophomore, 67 as a junior)will be a teaching tool forthe Saints’ underclass-men. Several freshmenmay be counted on to con-tribute right away. If theyhit a rough patch, or needto wait their turn to crackthe lineup, they can look totheir All-America seniorfor wisdom.

“They’ll be able to talkto an All-American whohas been through that,”said Hetzer. “He can showthem that there’s light atthe end of the tunnel.”

Hetzer is most im-pressed by Pogue’s disci-pline, selectiveness, andopposite field power. He isworking with his sluggerto quicken his hands. Hebelieves that if Pogue canimprove that quickness,he can prove to scouts thathe can hit off of pitcherswith a higher velocity thanmost he will face at the Di-vision III level.

“He’s got a shot at thenext level. I think someonemight take a chance onhim,” said Hetzer. “He’s

got great plate presenceand all those things thatare hard to teach.”

Knowing that opposingpitchers are likely to workaround him this season,Pogue dedicated much ofhis offseason training toimproving his speed.

“I’ve been trying to getfaster,” he said. “I’m ex-pecting to get walkedmore, so I’m hoping tosteal some more basesonce I get on.”

The former St. XavierBomber was named to theABCA/Rawlings All-America first team andD3baseball.com secondteam following his juniorseason. D3baseball.comrecently named him to itspreseason All-Americafirst team.

“It’s a great honor. I waskind of surprised by it,”said Pogue. “It has a lot todo with my teammates.”

The Saints must re-place some of those team-mates who were so vital toPogue’s success last sea-son. Despite changes inthe lineup, the Saints areconfident that Pogue willbe able to maintain the tor-rid pace he put up last sea-son. Even if his numbersdip, it will likely be be-cause he sacrificed outs inorder to help his team win.Returning to the NCAAtournament and earning aWorld Series berth is hisNo. 1 goal.

Prayer for life

THANKS TO LISA FAULHABER

St. Anthony students joined with all students in the Diocese of Covington to Pray for Life onJan. 22. Students gathered in church with Pastor Matt Cushing and Principal VeronicaSchweitzer who led the rosary and prayers for all life especially the life of the unborn. Eventhe youngest students seemed to understand the importance of this special day of prayerand participated respectfully and reverently. Pictured are kindergarten students FaithLankheit and Sam Highfield.

Once again this year, Ihave begun the journeyof reading through theBible in 120 days. Initia-lly I had concerns that Icould remain faithful tothe task for two yearsstraight and prayed forGod to provide revelationto me early on that wouldkeep me interested. Ask-ing for direction for mylife and clarity for mypath. And, as always, justa few short weeks intomy reading He has pro-vided that and so muchmore.

Without forcing themtoo, I urged my two old-est to go along on thejourney with me, realiz-ing that in this day andage, teens and pre-teensneed the Word more thanever. Yet, like so manyothers (myself included)my daughter’s frustra-tion of not always seeingthe relevance is a toughargument, that is untilGod speaks!

She came to me oneevening, asking to talkand I could feel theheaviness on her heart.Her complaint was withGod. “I feel like I’vegiven up so much. I knowHe wants me to, but Ionly asked Him for onething, and He took that

too.” Afterlong mo-ments ofsilence, Iasked herif I couldshare whatI had beenreading inthe Bible.

In theOld Testament, Godshares with the IsraelitesHis plan, which was tomove them into the mostbeautiful land of thetime. A land completelyset apart just for them. Aland flowing with milkand honey, fertile, andbeautiful, unlike anyother place on earth. Butthere was a condition.The land could not betainted with idols andimpurities from theirpast. They were requiredto leave idols and idolworship behind, going infaithfully obedient toGod.

I explained to mydaughter that God’s plansfor her were much thesame. There is a “Ca-naan” in her future. Yetin order to cross overinto that beautiful land,she will be called to leavebehind parts of thisworld that would “taint”God’s plan for her. It was

a thought-provokingmoment for the both ofus. A realization that Godlongs to give preciousgifts to His children, butHe also requires us to“clean out our closets” inorder to make room forthem.

Much like cleaning outa toy box, or springcleaning. Neither are onmy list of things I lookforward to doing.They’re cumbersome,time consuming anddirty. Yet the result istotally worth the work. Aclean house, ready forthe warm weather andthe sunshine.

God is not looking tomake our lives miserableby taking things awayfrom us. He simplywants to help us clean outour closets and makeroom for the preciousnew things He has instore!

Be blessed in knowingthat if God is calling youto “clean out a closet” (ortwo) this week, that Hehas something grand instore for you in the nearfuture.

Julie HouseFAITH NOTES

A scholarship equaledvalidation of poet CarrieJerrell’s abilities as an art-ist.

Jerrell received moretime last year to get in-spired and do research fora book of poems she iswriting on the mythologyand reality of the Ameri-can West, thanks to an AlSmith Individual ArtistFellowship.

“Time is what everyartist needs,” said Jerrell,who also teaches at Mur-ray State University, andwho received an Al SmithFellowship in 2015. “Ispent three weeks travel-ing before I started mywriting residency lastsummer in Nebraska. Itwas time I didn’t have toteach in the summer to tryto get the money to do itnext year. It gives youtime to think, time towrite, time to see thethings that inspire you orhelp you figure out what itis you’re going to do. It’sgood to imagine, but to be

in it for alittle whileis so muchmore use-ful. It waspriceless.The fellow-ship al-lowed me

to do the residency, whichwas great, but it also al-lowed me the benefit oftravel to prep my mind forthe residency.”

Writers of fiction, cre-ative nonfiction and poet-ry, as well as choreogra-phers, can apply for thetwo scholarships throughthe Kentucky Arts Coun-cil Emerging ArtistAward for individual art-ists.

The Al Smith Individ-ual Artist Fellowship pro-gram supports Kentuckyartists engaged in creat-ing work of high qualityand recognizes creativeexcellence among profes-sional artists. Fellowshipsare unrestricted $7,500awards.

The Emerging ArtistAward is a $1,000 unre-stricted award to early ca-reer, professional Ken-tucky artists who demon-strate excellence and cre-ativity in their work.

“It’s a boost whensomeone believes in yourwork,” Jerrell said. “Writ-ing is a lonely art, so forany organization to say‘we think this project haspromise,’ it gives you areal shot in the arm.”

That’s a sentimentshared by 2012 EmergingArtist Award recipientMatthew Gaddie of Bard-stown. Gaddie is a woodfire ceramic artist, andhas been practicing thatcraft professionally formore than 10 years.

“Spiritually and emo-tionally winning some-thing like that lets youknow you’re doing some-thing right,” said Gaddie.“Every artist I know of isaddicted to the high frompeople understanding andappreciating your work. Itmakes you feel validated;that you’re on the rightpath, doing what you’resupposed to do. When youdo it for a living, successin art is such a moving tar-get. When you get recogni-tion like the EmergingArtist Award, you feelmore confident in whatyou’re doing.”

Guidelines for the AlSmith Individual ArtistFellowship and theEmerging Artist Awardapplications can be foundat the arts council’s web-site. Applications arejudged by a panel of inde-pendent arts profession-als on artistic excellenceand professional achieve-ment.

The application dead-line for both awards isFeb. 16.

Interested parties, orthose who have questionsor need more information,should contact TamaraCoffey, individual artistdirector, at 502-564-3757,ext. 479, ortamara.coffey@ky.gov.

Valentine’s Dance shows love for Alzheimer’s Association

Since 1996, the LudlowKnights of Columbus havehosted a pancake break-fast to benefit the Coving-ton Sisters of Notre Damemission in Uganda.

The SND mission, justone year older than thepancake breakfast, is lo-cated in a remote area ofUganda and is comprisedof nursery, primary andsecondary schools, as wellas a subsistence farm andcongregational formationcenter.

According to Carl Bi-ery, Newport resident andmember of the LudlowKnights of Columbus, theevent began at the requestof the late Ed Monahan.Monahan was a GrandKnight with a special con-nection to the Sisters ofNotre Dame. His daugh-ter, Sister Marla Mona-han, served as CovingtonProvincial from 2005-2014.

The event originallybenefited the Catholic ur-ban schools in Covington,as well as the mission inUganda. Sister Marla ex-plained, “My father recog-nized, I think, the Africanproverb that it takes a vil-lage to raise a child. Hewanted to recognize thatwe have children in needboth at home and in otherlands.”

Monahan did all that hecould to recognize needand the importance ofeducation.

“When the breakfastwas first begun, he wouldcontact local politiciansbecause he felt that theyhad an important role inthe life of the city. Hewanted them to be awareof our responsibility to-gether to make sure thatthese children were re-ceiving a good education,so that they could live thelife God wanted them tolive,” Sister Marla ex-plained.

Ed Monahan died onSept. 18, 2001, just a fewweeks before the Knights’sixth pancake breakfast.He remained committeduntil the end, telling SisterMarla everything she

needed to make surewould happen at the up-coming breakfast. Shejoked, “He told me the daybefore he passed away,‘After I die, it’s OK withme if you don’t do this any-more.’ But he was still tell-ing me what to do for thenext one!”

Today, the Knights ofColumbus continue thetradition under the leader-ship of Carl Biery, WayneBrown, of Covington, andMike Young, of FortWright.

Sister Mary MargaretDroege, director of theSisters of Notre DameUganda Mission Office,expressed her gratitudefor the Knights’ work andnoted the ease of theevent.

“The Knights of Co-lumbus are always friend-ly,” Sister Mary Margaretsaid. “They wear a smileand seem to enjoy work-ing together. Plus, theytake care to get all of thefood and work to get asmuch donated as possible,thus eliminating ex-penses.”

Biery also acknowl-edged the dedication ofhis fellow members. “Myfavorite aspect is seeinghow many Knights turnout to work,” he said. “Wehost a lot of events, butthis one seems to drawmore workers. And wedon’t even have to callthem. They just show up!”

Not only are the work-ers committed, guests at-

tend the pancake break-fast year after year, too.Some are friends of theKnights of Columbus, oth-ers come in support of theSisters of Notre Dame andtheir mission. Still, someregulars simply cannotpass up a laid-back Sun-day breakfast.

Sister Mary Margaretremembered one familyin particular that took ad-vantage of the casual am-biance. “Through theyears, people who comeseem to enjoy the relaxedatmosphere. For severalyears, one family broughtthe Sunday paper withthem. After the meal, theysat back and enjoyed a lei-surely reading of the pa-per together.”
