FORT WRIGHT - FortWright Police Chief DanielKreinest is warning residents tobe careful and cautious withtheir belongings.

“Unfortunately, in recentweeks some of our neighbor-hoods such as Lookout Heightsand South Hills, as well asneighboring cities, have had ve-hicles searched and items sto-len,” he said.

Most items were of insignifi-cant value, however, he said it’simportant to be cautious. Resi-dents should remove valuableitems from their cars or at leastsecure them out of sight andlock cars even if they are in thedriveway.

“The best way to discouragethese thefts is for the thievesnot to get any valuables, theywill go elsewhere,” he said.

The department is also in-vestigating a recent burglarywhere money and firearmswere stolen. Kreinest urges res-idents to be observant and callthe police department immedi-ately at 911 or 859-356-3191 ifthey see anything or anyonesuspicious.

“Leave lights on if you arenot going to be home until afterdark,” he said. “An alarm sys-tem is always a good idea. Thereare many reputable alarm com-panies out there and alarmshave become more affordable.The Police Department cannotrecommend specific compa-nies. Check with your families,neighbors and friends for rec-ommendations.”

Whether you’ve livedin Northern Ken-tucky your entire life

or an entire minute, you’rewelcome to join New Friendsof Northern Kentucky.

The goal of this “welcomegroup” is to bring together lo-cal women for fellowship andfun.

“Women are very relation-al by nature,” said NewFriends incoming presidentGinger Novak. “We need in-teraction with people and todevelop friendships. I know Ijust come alive when I haverelationships. Communitiesrun on these connections.”

According to Novak, thegroup started off as a chapterof the the national organiza-tion Welcome Wagon, whichcontacts new homeowners af-ter relocation, providingthem with coupons and adver-tisements from local busi-nesses. In the ’70s, the organi-zation separated from Wel-come Wagon and changed itsname to New Friends ofNorthern Kentucky.

“We know how importantit is to find new friends whenyou move and want to helpyou get acquainted with yournewly adopted home,” shesaid. “I have moved around a

lot. When you move, the suc-cess or failure of that movedepends on how much of apart of the community youbecome. We’re a good sourcefor getting involved with thecommunity.”

With 180 members, NewFriends offers a variety of ac-

tivities – a book club, bridge,canasta, euchre and a writer’sworkshop – that memberscan join in on. They holdmonthly luncheon meetingsthe first Wednesday of themonth March through De-cember at various locations.The luncheon includes a pro-

gram on varied interests andtopics.

Heroin overdoses inundatedSt. Elizabeth emergency roomsin 2015, ending with 1,168 casesof reversed overdoses com-pared with 745 the year before.

But the year-over-year jump,at nearly 57 percent, is justmore of the same to emergencystaff.

“We’re definitely feeling theimpact, but I don’t think, afterwhat we’ve seen before, wewere surprised,” said AshelKruetzkamp, nurse managerfor St. Elizabeth Edgewoodemergency department.

“We know that there’s a lot tobe done in the community.”

St. Elizabeth released its2015 report to The Enquirer lastweek. It illustrates the rise in

heroin overdoses the emergen-cy staff turned around with thelife-saving drug naloxonethrough the years.

Every year since 2011, whenKruetzkamp took it upon her-self to track the overdose saves,the hospital system has seengrowing numbers of peoplecoming in overdosed.

BRIEFLY

The emergency staffonly counts those who ac-knowledge that they’veused heroin, so therecould be more.

Last year, St. Elizabethstarted giving away a nal-oxone rescue kit to everypatient saved in its emer-gency rooms. The hospi-tal has continued to pro-vide treatment resourceguides, but it’s unclearhow many patients are us-ing the services – or try-ing and failing at treat-

ment. Jim Thaxton, coordina-

tor for the Northern Ken-tucky Heroin Impact Re-sponse Task Force, notedthat fewer overdose pa-tients were taken to emer-gency rooms in Novem-ber and December of 2014than in 2015. He said it’stoo early to tell whetherthat decline will continue.

But over the years, thehospital emergencyrooms averaged 62 heroinoverdoses per month in2014 and 97 per month in2015.

There is also indication

that more people are us-ing based on who the hos-pital sees.

“There are new usersof heroin every day,” inthe emergency rooms,Kruetzkamp said. “Wewish we could do more.We treat them. We givethem resources. But thenwe are putting them backout in the community.”

It’s a community, likeso many, with full detoxi-fication centers and limit-ed medical assistance.

“You feel a little hope-less,” she said.

FLORENCE – Some-times Theresa Cook liveswith a Faustian choice:buy food to eat or pur-chase medicine that helpsher fight catastrophic ill-ness.

Cook, 57, has fibro-myalgia, high blood pres-sure, diabetes and de-pression.

“I need my medica-

tion,” she said. “I alsoneed to eat.”

Thankfully for Cook,Faith Community Phar-macy is getting her thehelp she needs. This non-profit, volunteer-basedorganization providesmedications and pharma-ceutical care to those un-able to pay for such ser-vices. It serves 10 coun-ties and it the only chari-table pharmacy inNorthern Kentucky thatprovides free medicine.

“I don’t know what I’ddo if it wasn’t for them.They’ve been really won-derful,” Cook said.“They’ve helped me quitea bit.”

Many of the prescrip-tion medications are do-nated by area physiciansand drug manufacturers,said pharmacy develop-

ment director and volun-teer coordinator TaraLeen. However, othermedications such as insu-lin and generics must bepurchased. To purchaseprescription drugs fortheir clients and to keepthe pharmacy operation-al, Leen said the organiza-tion depends on privateand business donations,grants and fundraisers.

“We work very hardfor every penny,” Leensaid. “Because we aresuch a unique service itcan be difficult for us toget funding. Most grantsrequire that you have anew innovative projectevery year. We providethis one service, but it is avital service for our cli-

ents. We’re doing some-thing no one else is doingin the community.”

The pharmacy is locat-ed at 7033 BurlingtonPike, Florence, but alsohas seven different out-reach locations through-out Northern Kentucky,in partnership with theNorthern Kentucky Com-munity Action Commis-sion.

In March 2002, thepharmacy began as St.Vincent de Paul Commu-nity Pharmacy.

Executive director Ro-sana Aydt, of Villa Hills,was one of the founders.Aydt, a retail pharmacist,said she and others recog-nized a need in the com-munity for a charitable

pharmacy. The foundersworked with the Ken-tucky State Board ofPharmacy to change thelaw to allow local physi-cians’ offices and phar-maceutical companies todonate samples to needypeople.

Since opening in 2002,the pharmacy has seenmore than 6,200 clientsand dispensed more than390,000 prescriptions.That’s more than $35 mil-lion in wholesale value.

“We’re helping thepoorest of the poor –those who fall trough thehealth care cracks,” Aydtsaid. “I feel blessed to bea part of this organiza-tion. We’ve become ex-tended family to many.We really get to knowthose we help and I feelwe’re really making a dif-ference in the lives ofpeople.”

NORTHERN KENTUCKY RIGHT TO LIFE

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

HAVE WE FORGOTTEN WHAT AN ABORTION IS? A fi rst-trimester abortion is usually performed by suction and is known as an aspiration (or suction) abortion. In her book, Caught in the Crossfi re: A Year on Abortion’s Front Line, author Sue Hertz describes this type of abortion: “…the cervix is dilated with metal rods and a medical instrument called a cannula attached to a tube is inserted into the womb. The tube is attached on the other end to a suction machine, and when the machine turns on, the preborn baby is pulled out in pieces. “The dismembered body parts are sucked into a jar which sometimes has a cheesecloth sack to catch the fetal parts. The abortionist then scrapes the lining of the uterus to get out any pieces of the baby or placenta he may have missed. This is the most common abortion procedure in the United States.” Hertz described what the doctor did after the procedures: “… [the doctor] removed from the glass jar the cheesecloth sack which caught the fetal parts, dumping the parts into a basin at the end of the table, between [the patient’s] feet. ‘Two legs, two arms, two fi sts, a skull, a backbone, a placenta. We’ve got it,’ he announced. “The doctor needs to carefully search through the parts to make sure that every part of the baby has been removed. An arm or leg left behind could cause a terrible infection. In very rare, but horrifying cases, women have actually passed an arm or leg of their aborted child that was left inside them days after the abortion.”

A Change of Heart Graduating from medical school in 1976, Dr. Anthony Levatino, an OB/GYN, not only supported the so-called right of a woman to abort her child, but also was willing to proudly devote part of his practice doing fi rst- and second-trimester abortions. Struggling with fertility, Levatino and his wife decided to adopt, but soon discovered how diffi cult it was to adopt a newborn. “It was the fi rst time that I had any doubts about what I was doing because I knew very well that part of the reason why it’s diffi cult to fi nd children to adopt is that doctors like me were killing them in abortions,” stated Levatino, in an article published by LiveActionNews. In 1978, Dr. Levatino and his wife were fortunate to adopt Heather, after which they soon discovered that his wife was pregnant, and they had a son 10 months later. In June, 1984, the tragedy all parents dread occurred. Heather was hit by a car. “She was a mess,” he explained. “We did everything we possibly could. But she ultimately died, literally in our arms, on the way to the hospital that evening.” The fi rst D&E procedure after the accident, he describes: “I started that abortion, and I took that sopher clamp, and I literally ripped out an arm or a leg, and I just stared at it in the clamp. And I got sick. But you know something, when you start an abortion, you can’t stop. If you don’t get all the pieces - and you literally stack them up on the side of the table […] your patient is going to come back infected, bleeding, or dead. So I soldiered on, and I fi nished that abortion.” Feeling a change of heart, the doctor continued:

He ceased performing abortions.May God bless little Heather and her parents.

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

FORT THOMAS – YMCA’sin Campbell and Boone coun-ties are in the midst of a fit-ness programs youth kick.

Campbell County YMCA inFort Thomas and R.C. DurrYMCA in Burlington eachadded boutique fitness classesincluding kickboxing and bal-let-inspired barre body andmuscle shaping classes.

In-Trinity, in which peoplework out on an incline slantboard, is the newest class add-ed at the YMCAs in Fort Thom-as and Burlington.

“We are the first Y in theworld to offer In-Trinity andthe first location outside ofCalifornia to offer it in NorthAmerica,” said Kathy Lehr,spokeswoman for the YMCA ofGreater Cincinnati.

Lehr said R.C. Durr has anew MyRide cycling classesthat integrates music with aninstructor and a virtual desti-nation. It brings a new dimen-sion to the cycling experience,Lehr said.

New ClimbMills stepmachines have been added atR.C. Durr and MyRide, Lehrsaid.

The YMCA is trying to bemore innovative and is bring-

ing in new programs, ToddHensel, membership experi-ence director at CampbellCounty, said of In-Trinity.“We’re going to be one of thefirst organizations in the areato offer that program.

“We want to be not onlytracking families, but alsoyounger adults who are intothose boutique style classes.”

TRX, a course started morethan a year ago, uses suspen-sion training developed by the

military, Hensel said. Pilates,Zumba and cardio and strengthtraining, and gentle yoga areother classes available.

A class called ResistanceIntervals Power Plyometricsand Endurance (R.I.P.P.E.D.) isone of the more challengingnew classes added last year,Hensel said.

“It’s a one-stop body shock,”he said.

Katie Steffen, 34, of FortThomas, takes barre classes

regularly at the YMCA.“I like it,” Steffen said. “It’s

an all-over body workout.” Barre instructor Gayla

Hawkes leads classes of wom-en in a series of stretchingmotions across a room withwood floors and a wall of mir-rors.

Low impact is the barregoal, Hawkes said.

“It’s core and lower-bodywork making long and leanmuscles instead of shortstocky muscles,” she said.

Campbell County YMCAFitness Coordinator NickHeiss teaches fitness bootcamp and cycling classes andprovides personal trainingsessions.

Heiss said he meets withpeople of all ages in individualsessions usually lasting abouthalf an hour.

“We go over their goals andfitness needs,” he said.

For older adults there areSilver Sneakers classes. Tradi-tional youth sports and swim-ming classes haven’t goneanywhere, Hensel said. Byadding more classes for youngworking professionals theYMCA is offering somethingfor everyone, he said.

“We don’t want to be knownas just a swimming gym,”Hensel said.

FORT MITCHELL -Pets Supplies Plus won’tbe a place where every-body just knows yourname, but the name ofyour pet.

That’s the goal ownerKen Schmahl has set forhimself and his staff atthe new Fort Mitchell petstore.

“We’re all about beinga neighborhood pet storeand getting involved withthe community,” Schmahlsaid. “We’re thrilled to be-come an integral part ofthe Greater Cincinnati re-gion and serve the loyalpet parents that live in ourarea.”

According to Schmahl,“One of the first orders ofbusiness will be to partnerwith local schools andlaunch an animal educa-tion program led by teammembers who have ani-mal science degrees.Each and every one of usis an animal lover and wecan’t wait to build lastingrelationships with ourneighbors.”

Pet Supplies Plus of-

fers pet food, equipment,toys and more. The 10,000-square-foot store will alsofeature a self-service dogwash and grooming cen-ter. Located at 2180 DixieHighway, the new PetSupplies Plus of FortMitchell opened this Jan-uary.

Schmahl enters the PetSupplies Plus networkwith more than 12 yearsexperience in the haircare industry, serving aspart owner of nine GreatClips salons in the area.Bringing extensive busi-ness knowledge to thenew pet store, Schmahlalso owns a local yogurtbusiness called Yagööt.

The pet store franchiseseemed to be “a good fit,”Schmahl said. An ownerof a German short-hairedpointer named Bently anda turtle, Skippy, Schmahlis passionate about pets.He hopes to expand hisfranchise to other loca-tions.

Founded on the beliefthat convenient, qualityservice for busy consum-ers was lacking in the petindustry, retail veteransJack Berry and Harry

Shallop opened the firstPet Supplies Plus in Red-ford, Michigan, in 1988.Since then the neighbor-hood-style pet store hasbecome a household namein 26 states.

VILLA HILLS – Maybeit’s because she liked therolling green hills and theHudson River; but whenMaria Blom visited WestPoint, she “felt at home.”

Now a yearling orsophomore at the U.S.Military Academy atWest Point, she hasn’t re-gretted her decisiononce. The 2014 Villa Ma-donna Academy graduatesaid she still feels athome and appreciates allthe opportunities WestPoint has to offer.

She is attending WestPoint via a nominationfrom U.S. Rep. ThomasMassie. Blom is majoringin physics with a track inelectrical engineering.Besides her studies, sheis a member of the rowing

crew team and competeswith her team membersagainst other colleges.

On her visit back hometo Villa Hills, Blom, 20,sat down with the Record-er to discuss her experi-ence.

Q: What inspired yourinterest in West Point?

A: My dad was in theAir Force for a short timeand many of my relativeson my mother’s side areor were in the military.Something about WestPoint felt like home. May-be it’s because I liked therolling green hills and theHudson River; they re-minded me of home. A lotof it had to do with thestrong history and tradi-tion associated with themilitary academy.

The biggest factor,though, was the peoplethat I met there. Every-

one was so focused anddriven, but at the sametime, they cared abouteach others’ success. Wehave a saying at USMA:“Cooperate to graduate.”Your teammates won’t letyou fail.

Q: What are you ca-reer plans?

A: Upon graduation,cadets are commissionedas second lieutenants inthe U.S. Army. There are17 branches from whichto choose. Currently I aminterested in military in-telligence and then possi-bly doing something withthe FBI or CIA. My sec-ond choice would be avia-tion – flying helicopters.As far as how long I planto stay in the Army, Ihaven’t decided and I’mreally open to anything. Itreally will depend on howI am enjoying my job and

the impact I am making.Q: What did it mean

to you to receive thenomination from Con-gressman Massie to at-tend West Point?

Receiving the nomina-tion from CongressmanMassie felt incredible.The nomination was oneof the first tangiblethings I had received dur-ing the application proc-ess. Before being nomi-nated, I was submittingall this paperwork and es-says and letters of recom-mendation. It was one sid-ed – I was showing howbadly I wanted to attendan academy, but therewas no reciprocity. That’sthe thing about the ser-vice academies: Theydon’t need you.

Personally, during theentire process, I wasmost nervous aboutwhether or not I wouldget a nomination. Ithought, “I’m just a regu-lar person. I don’t haveany important politicalconnections. Why wouldhe pick me over otherqualified people?” Thatwas the best part aboutgetting the nomination – Ihad earned it. It didn’tcome from a good wordon my behalf by someoneinfluential. It didn’t comefrom my parents’ reputa-tion. It was me, and thatwas very encouragingand very humbling.

Q: How would you de-scribe life at West Point?

A: Life at West Point isbusy to say the least. Hon-estly I was expecting it tobe a lot more strict than itis. I was expecting myplebe (freshman) year tobe more difficult, espe-cially academically. WhatI found, though, was thatthe challenge was inlearning to balance allthree pillars: Academic,military and physical.

At West Point, you be-come a master of triage,of prioritizing. Most ca-dets get about 4 to 6 hoursof sleep per night. What ismost challenging, butwhat I love the most, isthat, from the time youwake up to the time yourhead hits the pillow atnight, sometimes earlymorning, you get the

most out of every minuteof your day.

Q: What advice wouldyou give to an incomingfreshman?

A: My best advicewould be to keep a posi-tive attitude and alwaysremember the big pic-ture. In the grand schemeof things, what is one C ona 10-point quiz? The goalat the end of the day is tograduate. Everyone getspinned with the samerank whether they werefirst in the class or deadlast we call them the goat.

It can seem over-whelming at times, butthat’s when you take astep back, take a breath,and remember why youare there. And you knowthe whole time you’re notgoing through it alone.The person on your leftand right are goingthrough it with you.That’s why people comeout of West Point and theother academies withsuch strong bonds.

Q: What are you en-joying the most aboutyour experience?

A: What I enjoy mostabout West Point, besidesbeing surrounded withgenuine, energetic, moti-vated people, is theamount of opportunitiesavailable. I had neverrowed before going toUSMA, but I made thenovice team last year andthe varsity team thisyear. The people on myteam have become myfamily and I love every-thing about the sport.

This past summer, Ihad the chance to go toclub nationals in Gaines-ville, Georgia, with myboat and we won. A monthlater, I was in Fort Ben-ning Georgia, at US ArmyAirborne School jumpingout of airplanes. Thisyear alone I have had theprivilege of hearing talksfrom both former Presi-dent Bill Clinton and ce-lebrity and humanitarianGary Sinise. Nowhereelse in the world are yougoing to get so many op-portunities.

FORT THOMAS - Rubik’sCube, the 1980s puzzle culturecraze, takes Jonathan Nerz ofHebron as little as 20 seconds tosolve.

Nerz, 19, considers himself aslow “Cuber” when comparedto Lucas Etter, 14, of Lexington.Etter set the world record lastNovember of 4.9 seconds dur-ing a competition in Maryland.

Etter and Nerz were among85 “Cubers” at a Jan. 9 QueenCity 2016 Rubik’s Cube Compe-tition at Highlander Event Cen-ter in Fort Thomas. Nerz orga-nized the competition as a re-gional qualifier for World CubeAssociation competition.

Enquirer reporter Pat Bren-nan documented some of theaction in a video available atcin.ci/1P46iEI.

Nerz used a microphone toannounce Etter sitting down ata competition table in FortThomas.

“Don’t blink or you’ll missit,” Nerz said.

Most professional “Cubers”solve a full-size 3x3 Rubik’s inabout 10 seconds or less, hesaid.

Etter solved a smaller Ru-bik’s, a 2x2 cube, in 1.42 sec-onds.

“Cubers” find formulascalled “algorithms” for solvingRubik’s quickly online.

“A lot of it is just memoriz-ing those algorithms,” Ettersaid. “Really, you get betterwith practice.”

Rubik’s competitions reallystarted becoming popularagain in 2004, Nerz said. Therehad not been a sanctioned com-petition in Cincinnati for sever-al years, he said.

“Most of the Cubers are kidsin school, so they’ll come withtheir families,” Nerz said.

Covington Catholic HighSchool freshman Michael Kes-sans, 14, said he got his first Ru-bik’s in Christmas 2014.

“I had my dad’s old cubefrom the 1980s before that,”Kessans said.

Kessans said it took himabout an hour to solve his dad’scube for the first time. NowKessans practices daily.

“Once you get it in your mus-cle memory you just keep get-

ting faster and faster,” he said.Being a “Cuber” rubbed off

on Kessans’ friend Gabe Wain-scott, 14, of Crestview Hills.

Watching Kessans solve aRubik’s was “pretty cool,”Wainscott said. Fast action wasneeded for Wainscott to join inthe fun.

“Since he was too busy doinghis I couldn’t see it so I had toget my own,” Wainscott said.

Ryan Ennis, 12, of Crest-

wood, Kentucky, came to FortThomas with his mother as hissecond competition.

Ennis was one of many teensholding out a Rubik’s Cube forEtter to autograph.

“It’s like he’s a celebrity,”Paul Etter, Lucas Etter’s father,said.

Solving a Rubik’s is abouthaving fun, Ennis said.

“I like how not many peoplecan do it,” he said.

Gateway Community andTechnical College is named atraining and certification siteby the American Welding Soci-ety (AWS) expanding opportu-nities for Gateway welding stu-dents and potential employers.

Gateway’s recognition as anAWS Schools Excellingthrough National Skills Educa-tion (SENSE) training programgives Gateway graduates acompetitive edge in the jobmarket and provides employ-ers a pool of very desirable can-didates.

“SENSE is a nationally rec-ognized AWS certification de-signed by the top leaders in theindustry, nationwide, ensuringwelders are given standardizedtraining to meet the needs of to-day’s industry,” said Will Dona-hue, Gateway Welding Instruc-tor. Donahue trained for twoyears with the SENSE programat Whitney M. Young Job Corpsin Simpsonville, Kentucky, forthe U.S. Department of Labor.

“A lot of our students havedreams of relocating to otherparts of the country or may cur-rently live in Ohio. Along withtheir college education, thiswelding certification will fol-low them wherever they chooseto go. Gateway now providesstudents a pathway to national-

ly recognized credentials in theareas of welding they desire,”added Donahue.

Gateway offers nationallyrecognized welding certifica-tions in eight welding process-es (SMAW, GMAW, GMAW-Spray, FCAW, FCAW-S, GTAW,GTAW Stainless, GTAW Alumi-num), as well as training inwelding blueprint, weldingcode and inspection, thermalcutting processes, and healthand safety.

Students will be able to settheir own pathway in training.The program is broken downinto individual modules, allow-ing students to pursue a partic-ular area of certification. Forexample, a student may wantcertifications in three process-es, but not all eight. Upon suc-cessful completion, studentswill receive a certificationplaque listing the area of weld-ing being recognized and aprestigious, much sought after,AWS wallet card listing all oftheir nationally recognizedSENSE Level 1 welding certifi-cations. This card is a powerfultool when applying for work asa welder.

“AWS certification is one ofthe best ways to advance awelding career,” said DeeWright, Gateway dean of manu-

facturing and engineering.“This opens up opportunitiesfor increased wages, leader-ship roles and higher-level ca-reer challenges. This trainingalso prepares students to con-tinue their education beyondGateway and become weldingengineers and fabricators.”

Students in the program un-derstand the importance of thiscertification. Katelyn Bach-mann has been interested inwelding since she was a littlegirl working with family friendand nationally recognized art-ist Douwe Blumberg. Shelearned welding as art andplans to incorporate this intoher career aspirations. For themore immediate future, sherecognizes what this certifica-tion means to her job prospects.“I’ve got so many more oppor-tunities with nationally recog-nized certifications,” saidBachmann. “I also really appre-ciate how our instructors per-sonalize our learning experi-ence.”

Joseph Malloy, U.S. Armyveteran and Campbell Countyresident, will graduate from theprogram in 2016. At Gateway,Malloy says he has found “fo-cus and a career he loves thatwill provide for his family.” He,too, understands the value of

this certification in the high de-mand, high wage field of weld-ing. He is particularly interest-ed in construction welding.

Employers who are facing ashortage of employees withwelding skills as baby boomersretire will also benefit fromAWS certification at Gateway.Not only will they have a pipe-line of potential employees, butonce a welder receives AWScertification, she/he can main-tain records (certification)without having to be continual-ly trained and re-tested offer-ing employers tremendous costsavings.

“These are the types of pro-grams Gateway wants to offerour community,” said Dr. KeithBird, Gateway interim presi-dent. “Our mission is to servestudents by offering industryrecognized certifications anddegrees in high demand, highwage fields where they can be-gin their career immediatelyand/or complete and transfer toa four-year institution to fur-ther their career development.We serve employers by train-ing a well-qualified work-force.”

PUZZLE ANSWERS


Remember last week when Iwas harvesting greens frommy window boxes? Well, withthe thermometer reading 6degrees this morning, I don’thave to tell you that I won’t beharvesting any more greens

from them.Oh well, be-

fore too long I’llbe thumbingthrough the seedcatalogs whicharrive daily,thinkingthoughts ofspring. Yes, it’s along way off, butSuper Bowl isn’t.I wanted to

share a couple of fun and yum-my recipes to make your SuperBowl party memorable, re-gardless of whose team wins!

We always have a big crowdat our house, and it’s a traditionfor me to make homemadeglazed donuts. That recipe,with photos of happy little souschefs, is on myAbouteating.com site.

Guru in our backyard:Greg’s 2 ingredientbuttermilk ranch wings

I met Greg Grisanti,Frisch’s chef for research anddevelopment, at a veterans’garden event last summer. Wefound we had many similarinterests when it comes tofood. We both like to gardenand experiment with naturalfoods.

Greg lives in Clermont

County with his family and is agraduate of St. Xavier HighSchool. He went on to becomea classically trained chef atJohnson & Wales University.Alumni include Tyler Florenceand Emeril Lagasse, both ofwhom I’ve worked with, and Iput Greg right up there withthem, talent wise. He’s lots offun to cook with, and humble,too.

“I prefer to call myself agood cook,” he said. His re-search knowledge shows in therecipes he develops and finetunes for the restaurants. Likeusing real lard in their pies andmaking 80 percent of theiritems from scratch.

Greg was a guest on mycable show and he featuredrecipes made with Frisch’singredients. I wanted partyfood that was easy and delish.We were both happy with thesewings, which I’m now addictedto. I think you’ll be making

them often, too. You’ll use twoout of three of the wing parts.Here’s my slight adaptation.

3 dozen or so chicken wings,cut into 3’s (save small pointedwing joint for stock)

16 ounce jar of Frisch’sbuttermilk ranch dressing

Optional add-ins: chipotlepepper sauce, ground cayenne,garlic

Preheat oven to 375.Place wings in a 2 gallon

baggie. Pour in dressing,squeeze air out, and seal. Gent-ly massage bag to incorporatedressing with wings. Marinatefor several hours in the refrig-erator; overnight is best. Re-move wings from bag and putin a colander to remove excessdressing. (Now I did not re-move the dressing; I justpoured the wings in a singlelayer on a baking sheet). Placewings on sprayed cookie sheetand bake 40 minutes or so,depending on the size of thewings, until cooked through

and golden brown.Serve with Frisch’s blue

cheese dressing as a dippingsauce along with celery sticksif you like.

Baked jalapeno poppersPerfect party food with a

spicy bite. A perennial fave.1 pound nice size jalapenos,

halved and seededFilling:8 ounces cream cheese1 cup shredded sharp ched-

dar1 cup shredded Jack cheese6 bacon strips, cooked crisp

and crumbled1/2 teaspoon garlic powderSalt to tasteBreadcrumbs, regular or

PankoPreheat oven to 325. Blend

everything but breadcrumbstogether. Put about 2 table-spoons into each half and rollin crumbs. Place on sprayedbaking pan and bake for 20 to35 minutes. The longer you

bake them, the milder theybecome.

Readers want to knowNatural and Dutch cocoa -

what’s the diff?Without getting too tech-

nical, the difference is acid.Natural cocoa powder: the

more common one, is cocoathat does not have its acidstripped. It’s a light cocoa colorwith a bitter flavor.

Dutch processed/alkalized:is a darker color due to a potas-sium solution that neutralizesthe acidity. It has a mellower,less bitter flavor.

Kentucky deservesschool choice

As a small businessowner and a proud Ken-tuckian, I want to see ourgreat state not only suc-ceed, but compete on anational level. Accom-plishing that goal startswith improving educa-tion.

An educated workforceis key to both a state’s anda business’s success. Un-fortunately, educationdisparity is becoming anepidemic. Kentucky stu-dents deserve the chanceto succeed, but our cur-rent system lacks theresources to fix its ail-ments and educate thosemost in need.

That’s where schol-arship tax credits have animportant role. Individ-uals, businesses andbanks donate funds to acharitable organizationthat provides needs-basedscholarships for childrento attend the non-publicschool of their parents’choice. This solution en-sures that all students,despite their economicstanding, have the oppor-tunity to obtain the educa-tion they deserve at aschool of their choice.

A measure touted byEdChoice KY, a 501(c)(3)educating the common-wealth on Scholarship TaxCredits, would allow con-tributions to organiza-tions seeking to supportfamilies in need who wishto send their children toprivate schools and or-ganizations seeking toimprove the public educa-tion system.

This movement is ahuge step toward helpingKentucky students, theirfamilies and their busi-nesses. Twenty-ninestates in the nation – in-cluding our neighboringstate of Indiana – havesome form of schoolchoice. This legislation isan opportunity for Ken-tucky not only to be com-petitive in the businessrealm, but also to make along-term investment inthe future of its mostpromising citizens.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

I’m sitting in a presentationby one of my Leadership Cin-cinnati classmates at the My-ers Alumni Center at the Uni-versity of Cincinnati and Ican’t believe my ears.

Ryan Adcock, executivedirector of Cradle Cincinnati,tells our class that the localinfant mortality rate (IMR) isamong the worst in the nation,in the top 10 percent of thecountry.

As a volunteer for UnitedWay, I was aware that povertywas a huge problem for ourcommunity, where nearly halflive below the poverty line(46.3 percent). But I didn’tknow how bad the infant mor-tality rate was.

I learned the IMR is mea-sured by the number of infantdeaths for every 1,000 livebirths in a defined area.Health professionals considerthe infant mortality rate a keyindicator of overall healthstatus of a community.

The United States’ IMR is5.98 percent. To put that inperspective, the national IMRfor Japan is 2.3. England’sIMR is 4.2. At 5.98, the UnitedStates’ IMR ranks 27th among“wealthy” countries, behindplaces like Canada, Korea,Poland and Slovakia.

How bad is it here? In partsof our Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky region,the IMR is nearly twice thenational average. The IMR inHamilton County over thepast four years averaged outto 9.5 percent. In Kenton

County, theIMR is 9.8percent. Whilewe’ve madesome stridesin the recentpast, it’s stillpretty bad.

Accordingto CincinnatiChildren’sHospital Med-ical Center’swebsite, in our

region, “On average, one babydies every three days.”

Health care officials andpublic policy experts will tellyou, the overwhelming reasonwhy our babies are dying at ahigher rate is due to pretermbirths. According to Adcock,“Nearly 75 percent of infantdeaths were babies that wereborn too early.”

He went on to say, “Weknow reducing the amount ofpreterm births will have thebiggest impact in reducing theinfant mortality rate. We alsoknow that educating the pub-lic on the issues contributingto preterm births will go along way to achieving thatgoal.”

Then he shared a term thatI had never heard before.Spacing.

I would not be surprised ifyou hadn’t heard of spacingeither. It was a new term forthe majority of our leadershipclass.

Spacing refers to the“space” between pregnancies.

According to health offi-

cials, it is recommended therebe at least one year betweenpregnancies.

That’s one year, from thetime a baby is born, beforeanother pregnancy occurs.

Why? Because the traumathe female body goes throughduring a pregnancy is severeand the body needs time torecover. Without that recoverytime, the odds of prematurebirth dramatically increase.

Pregnant women whosmoke are also an issue. Smok-ing is not only bad for themother, it is particularly badfor the child. Mothers thatsmoke are more likely to havepremature births and an in-creased chance of infant mor-tality.

Finally, another contrib-uting factor to the infant mor-tality rate is how babies sleepafter they are born. The safestway for a baby to sleep is onhis back, in his crib, and alone.When new mothers sleep withtheir babies, they can puttheir babies at serious risk.

Of course, these aren’t theonly reason babies are bornprematurely, or the only rea-sons for infant mortality. In-fections, stress or geneticscan all be contributing fac-tors. Healthy women, whotake every precaution and doeverything right, can stillhave a premature birth.

But despite the data, one inevery five babies are con-ceived less than 12 monthsapart.

It seems to me that our

community isn’t informedabout the issues contributingto infant mortality, and thatneeds to change.

As Dr. Lynne Saddler, dis-trict director of health for theNorthern Kentucky Indepen-dent District Health Depart-ment, points out, “Anythingthat is going to cause a baby tobe born too early or too smallis going to put that baby atrisk for a poor outcome. So,the healthier the mom can bebefore and during pregnancy,the better.”

I’m hoping you’ll helpspread the word. Talk about itat your church, school, Rotaryor business group. Heck, in-vite Ryan Adcock to comespeak! He is a terrific speak-er, and very passionate aboutthe issue.

This information needs tobe continuously shared, espe-cially in high poverty areaswhere education and access tocare is a struggle.

As we collectively spreadthe word about the issues ofspacing, smoking and howbabies should sleep, we willbegin to see a reduction inboth costs and collectiveheartbreak.

This is one more way wecan improve the state we arein.

Did you know that everylocal stream has a story?These stories tell us why ourstreams are in good, poor oreven ever-evolving states andprovide clues about how toimprove and preserve them.

A team of environmentalscience experts at SanitationDistrict No. 1 (SD1) workshard to learn these storiesand uses them in our effortsto enhance and protect North-ern Kentucky by providingreliable waste water andstorm water managementservices.

Starting this month, 13 highschool juniors from Bellevue,Dayton, Holmes, Ludlow,Newport and Walton-Veronawill meet with SD1 employeesmonthly until their seniorgraduation. In these meet-ings, students will learn howunfolding such stories arevital to our region’s success.They’ll explore a variety of

environmentalscience ca-reers. And,most impor-tantly, they’lldiscover moreabout theirvaluable pur-pose in ourcommunity –an opportuni-ty made pos-sible throughthe collabora-

tion of three organizations –SD1, NaviGo and Skyward –that believe in empoweringour youth.

The 13 students who’llmeet with a NaviGo Coachand SD1 scientists are part ofa NaviGo Scholars Futuresprogram focused on environ-mental science. Started byTim Hanner, NaviGo offersstudents everything fromcareer and academic coach-ing to company matches for

real-life work experienceslike the one with SD1.

Through the program Na-viGo is linking these studentsto environmental scienceprofessionals working at SD1.While learning about our com-munity and the careers thatexist within the environmentsciences realm, they will haveexposure to hands-on learningand the real-life communitychallenges SD1 faces. Longterm, they are building last-ing mentorship networks thatwill help propel their careersforward when the time comesfor them to enter the work-force.

Helping to make this expe-rience possible is Skyward,the group behind NorthernKentucky’s strategic plan.Skyward’s president, WilliamScheyer, saw this collabora-tion as a way to connect stu-dents with experts in theirfields of interest, and ulti-

mately feed the local work-force pipeline. It has beenshown that students who findtheir purpose, and map out apath for fulfilling it, not onlythrive themselves but alsohelp our community thrive.

What if we all had experi-enced something similar tothe NaviGo Futures programin high school to help us bet-ter connect with our purpose?Where would we be today?How would Northern Ken-tucky be different? SD1, Navi-Go and Skyward are passion-ate about helping students ofall ages – whether in or out ofschool – explore and discovertheir purpose and you canhelp too. If you would like toget involved, I encourage youto visit navigoprep.com tolearn more. It’s never too lateto help a student discovertheir purpose.

Last week’s questionWhat changes, if any, would

you make to the primary system(or in the case of Kentucky Re-publicans, their new caucussystem) for choosing presi-dential candidates?

“Not necessarily limited tothe primary system, ratherour entire election system, Iwould make the whole thingshorter. My proposal wouldstate that the ‘election cycle’will start no more than threemonths prior to the election.

One week to register as acandidate, one week to BS thepublic via media, two weeks tohold the primaries (all ofthem), two months to furtherstate your case to the votingpublic including one debate

per month, one day off andthen the election is held. Oneadditional refinement to thisincredibly practical planwould be that political adswould be run on one specialchannel only, 24/7. If people

want to hear all the BS theycan choose to turn on thatchannel for enlightenment.

“Oh, two more terrific re-finements that I know you willlove, they are beautiful: 1)Term limits. Two terms anddone, then go get a real joblike the rest of us. 2) No pen-sions, no continued salary forlife, no special health careprogram other than thoseoffered to common folks. It iscalled public service for areason.”

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS –Dixie Heights’ boys basket-ball team was caught in trafficfor over an hour on the way tothe Jan. 15 Bluegrass-Buck-eye Charity Classic, pushingthe start of the event back.

After watching his Colo-nels turn in a dominant perfor-mance in a 58-29 win overScott, Dixie coach Ken Cheva-lier might be thinking aboutdriving his team around for anhour before every game.

“I kind of worried aboutthat, because we played overhere a couple years agoagainst CovCath when we hada snow issue, and anytime youhave that type of distractionwhere the kids are out of‘game-day mode,’ you worryabout that,” Chevalier said.“You kind of worry too whenyou bring over a young teamto this big event at this bigvenue, but I thought our kidshandled it well.”

Dixie placed three playersin double figures. Juniorguard Hunter Meyer led theway with 15 points, six re-bounds and four assists. Soph-omore AJ Plitzuweit had 13,and junior RJ Schweitzer add-ed 10.

Scott’s leading scorer JakeOhmer came into the game asthe leading scorer in NorthernKentucky averaging 28.4points per game. He finishedwith 13, all of which werescored in the game’s first 11minutes.

“Hunter Meyer did an ex-ceptional job on (Ohmer),”Chevalier said. “I’ll go to batfor him anytime as far as be-ing the best defensive and re-bounding guard in the re-gion.”

A key 11-0 run sparked theColonels.

“It helps that we’re a littlemore athletic on the perime-ter this year,” Chevalier said.“We don’t have the 6-foot-7trees that we did last year toerase mistakes on the back-side, but the positioning andathleticism of our guards real-ly does make it tough for otherteams to get into the flow, es-pecially a team like Scott thatlikes to penetrate and get intothe paint. That was our goalcoming into the game, and ourkids executed quite well, sowe’re pleased with that.”

“I think they were getting alittle frustrated,” Meyer add-ed. “Our defense was prettygood tonight.”

Ohmer scored Scott’s first13 points of the game. His lay-up and three to open the sec-ond quarter helped spark a 9-3run for the Eagles that cuttheir deficit to 22-17 midwaythrough the period. However,Dixie junior guard RJSchweitzer scored fourstraight points, and then ju-nior forward Reed Bradfieldfinished the half with an and-one finish and a transition lay-up before the horn to push theColonels’ lead back up to dou-

Beechwood was successfulin holding Cheetum and Beha-nan to little damage early on as

Many of us start theNew Year with the in-tentions to make thisyear different. We oftenmake New Year’s resolu-tions which focus onimproving our health,reducing stress or savingmoney.

Although we are just afew weeks into the New

Year, we have probablyalready found that un-fortunately, good in-tentions alone will notlead to a change. To besuccessful you need todevelop a plan to makethis year different. ANew Year’s resolution issimply a goal that you setfor you and your family

during the next 12months.

As with any goal, thefirst step is to write itdown. It can be as simpleas one to three sentencesthat address what youwant to accomplish andwhen you want to ac-complish it. Make certainthat your New Year’s

resolu-tion isattain-able.Many ofus maywant towin thelottery,but thisis notsome-thingthat isrealistic for most, somake certain your goal iswithin reach.

Post your goal in avisible place that willserve as a daily reminderto what you are workingtoward. This might be inthe laundry room or onthe refrigerator door.

Next, develop a gameplan. What steps do youneed to take to accom-plish your goal? If yourgoal is pay off a specificamount on your creditcards, how much do you

need to save per month?Identify some areaswhere you can reduceother expenses to havethe additional money topay on your credit cards.Can you set up automaticpayments to make iteasier to make the extrapayment?

There is no doubt thatmany New Year’s resolu-tions fail due to unfore-seen obstacles. Take afew minutes to identifythe obstacles which maylimit your success. Iden-tifying potential obsta-cles before they occurmay help you develop agame plan to overcomethe obstacle.

Think about how youmight avoid the obstacleor what resources youhave that could help youovercome the obstacle.For example, if yourresolution is to reduceyour credit card debt,maybe your first step

It doesn’t matterwhere you look on theInternet these days. Thescammers are out therehoping to get your atten-tion.

Jason, of Greater Cin-cinnati, wrote me: “A ladyand her husband areliving off robbing goodpeople – and maybe ex-posing them will keepthem from getting otherpeople.”

Jason says he saw yardsales posted by thesepeople on several web-sites. He writes, “Theyhave multiple ads tryingto sell everything frompurebred puppies to carsand TVs. Recently theysold me a broken Playsta-tion 3. It didn’t work andafter trying to contactthem I was blocked andignored.”

Jason says after hereported the sellers to thewebsite on which hebought the unit, he “start-ed hearing about howthey have scammed manyyoung people into buyingbroken or falsely ad-

vertiseditems.”

OhioAttorneyGeneralMike De-Wine saysin 2015 hisoffice re-ceivedabout 30complaints

from people who saidthey bought a puppy orother pet online, but nev-er received anything inreturn. The average lossto consumers was about$1,200.

As was the case withJason, the key to stoppingthis fraud is to ask to seethe item being sold inperson before you makeany payments. Just see-ing a picture of the itemor the puppy online is notenough to protect youfrom these scammers.

According to DeWine,“In a typical puppy scama consumer finds an adfor a puppy online. Theconsumer communicateswith the seller, agrees to

buy the puppy and even-tually wires a few hun-dred dollars to have thepuppy delivered.”

Rather than receivingthe puppy the consumergets a demand for moremoney either to pay forinsurance or transporta-tion costs. If the consum-er doesn’t pay the sellermay threaten to turn himin for animal abuse.

Research any breedersand sellers carefullybefore you agree to buyanything. Remember,Jason says when he did alittle checking he startedhearing about many oth-ers who were alsoscammed. If you can’tfind anything about abreeder you need to beskeptical because theattorney general sayssome scam artists changenames regularly to trickconsumers.

When it comes to pup-pies, be sure to see it firstand try to take it to anindependent veterinarianfor a health exam beforeagreeing to buy it.

Question: What is theadvantage of having acold frame? Is it too latein the winter to startone?

Answer: A cold frameallows you to extend thegardening season andenjoy fresh vegetablesat times when otherswithout a cold framecould not. A hotbed pro-vides even longer ex-tended harvests andmuch earlier plantingand harvesting of freshgarden produce. You canbuild (or purchase) acold frame or hotbedany time of year. Thesooner you start, thesooner you can reap thebenefits.

A hotbed is really justa cold frame with someadded source of heat inthe soil. Therefore, itcan be utilized in lowertemperatures, eventhrough the winter. Ifyou already had a coldframe or hotbed that youplanted in last fall, youcould be enjoying freshlettuce, spinach, radish-es, cabbage, broccoli,cauliflower, onions andsnow peas from yourgarden each day.

As spring approaches,you can even start earlyplantings of warm-sea-son crops like tomatoesand peppers, melons andsquash in the hotbed orcold frame. They arekept inside the structureuntil after the last frost.They will be sturdierplants, more “hardened

off” than ifthey werejust growninsideunderlights. Youcan put aremotethermom-eter sen-sor insidethe hotbedso that you

know when to ventilateit (when the air temper-ature gets above 65 de-grees inside the frame).You can also buy remoteopener units that willautomatically ventilatethe hotbed or cold frameat a certain temper-ature. Heating cables inthe soil of a hotbed arecontrolled by a thermo-stat, so the soil can bekept at any desired tem-perature. For seed ger-mination, you’ll want thesoil temperature atabout 80 degrees, butthis can be lowered to 70for continued growth ofthe plants.

Be sure to keep theseedlings watered with asprinkling can, and fer-tilize them with a liquidfertilizer once they gettheir first true leaves.The only limiting factorthrough the winter isthen light, so clear plas-tic or glass must be usedfor the top of the coldframe or hotbed. Sidewalls can be built fromtreated 2 by 12 lumber.Since you will need to beable to reach the center

of the planting areafrom one or both sides,depending on whether ornot the lid is attachedand hinged, the size ofthe cold frame will prob-ably only be 3-5 feetfrom front to back, butcan be as long as youwant it to be. Overallsize should be in mul-tiples of the size of win-dows or rigid, clear plas-tic you will use to coverthe top.

Just keep in mind thatyou’ll have to open allthose windows everysunny day, and thenclose them again in theevening, in order toventilate and releaseexcess heat. Duringmilder spells, you canjust leave a 0.5- to 1-inchgap on two sides oraround the top for venti-lation

The structure shouldbe on a southern slope ina sunny place where itwill not be shaded. Thesouth or southwest sideof a building is best inresidential areas. Sitesshould be well drained,with surface water di-rected away from thehotbed. Pile mulch orsoil against the outersides of the structure tohelp insulate it. It shouldbe reasonably close to awater supply, and if thebed is electrically heat-ed, close to an electricaloutlet.
