Addia Wuchner, R-Burlington, said of the weekend Leg- islative Forum. Wuchner, chairwoman of the North- ern Kentucky Legislative Caucus, said most people emailing and calling her of- fice have talked about pensions, fund- ing requests for Northern Kentucky University and public education in gen- eral. Questions about what will happen to Kynect, the state’s health insurance ex- change, are expected as well, Wuchner said. Gov. Matt Bevin has notified feder- al authorities he plans to dismantle ky- nect and transition Kentuckians to the federal site healthcare.gov to shop for insurance under the Affordable Care Act. Some people have also asked about House Bill 94 to strengthen mental health treatment laws known as “Tim’s Law,” Wuchner said. Tim Morton died in March 2014 after being hospitalized for mental illness 37 times, according to the National Alli- ance on Mental Illness of Kentucky. HB 94 would allow judges to order court-su- pervised treatment in some cases to continue a person’s treatment when they are not forcibly hospitalized. Wuchner said she expects a large crowd for Saturday’s forum since it’s one of the few chances members of the public have a chance to talk to multiple legislators at one location. “It’s really an important time for us to listen,” Wuchner said. “It’s not so much us talking or being political.” Northern Kentucky Area Develop- ment District (NKADD) staff will help the legislative caucus host the forum. NKADD executive director Lisa Cooper said all 17 legislators in the cau- cus are invited. With legislators’ sched- ules and an ongoing budget session in Frankfort confirmation of which legis- lators will attend is not available, Coop- er said. How long people have to speak with legislators depends upon how many people sign up to speak, she said. People at previous forums have been allotted a time limit to speak lasting somewhere around two or three min- utes, Cooper said. Groups are encouraged to elect a spokesperson to speak on their issue or concern rather than repeating the same message, she said. There is a two-hour time limit for the forum. “It’s a completely open forum,” Cooper said. “We’re there at 8:30 a.m. and it’s a first-come, first-served basis.” NANCY DALY/THE COMMUNITY RECORDER Last month’s Northern Kentucky Forum was standing room only to hear a preview of General Assembly issues.

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

They started fostering.Two years later the“blessings” they’ve re-ceived in turn are “be-yond words,” the Inde-pendence woman said.

“We have three sib-lings with us, ages 4, 5 and7. They’ve been with us al-most two years,” she said.“In the beginning it wasrocky but you build a trustwith them and now, well,they’re my kids. Seeingthem grow, seeing themcome full circle is justwonderful. The rewardsare more than we everthought they’d be whenwe signed up for this.”

The Holdens have alsobeen an inspiration totheir church LakesideChristian Church, withcampuses in LakesidePark, Hebron and TaylorMill. The church is goingto host a Pre-ServiceTraining at the LakesidePark location on Butter-milk Pike in February.

“This is a great oppor-tunity for us to let thewhole community knowthat they can help chil-dren in need,” LakesideChristian serve ministerRuss Howard said. “Hav-ing this training wassparked out of a deepsense of what we’re sup-posed to do. Everyoneshould feel safe and val-ued. We want to love Jesusand love like Jesus, this isa living out of that love.”

Howard said the goalof the training is to helpanyone curious about fos-tering or adoption an op-portunity to learn more.The training is open to thepublic.

The training, offeredby the Kentucky Cabinetfor Health and FamilyServices, will be held ev-ery Tuesday 6-9 p.m. untilTuesday, April 5. To regis-ter, call Kentucky Foster

Care/Adoption Intake lineat 859-292-6632, ext. 231.

According to KristinaNiergarth, of the Cabinetfor Health and FamilyServices, there are 7,785children in out-of-homecare or foster care state-wide. Currently there are992 children in out-of-home care in the NorthernKentucky Bluegrass Re-gion alone, with only 161Department for Commu-nity Based Services fos-ter homes.

Niergarth, who will beheading the training se-ries at Lakeside Christian,said it’s important to havepartners like the churchto combat the growingneed for foster care.

“We are always tryingto find new places in thecommunity to hold the 10-week training,” she said.“Sometimes it’s a struggleto find a location that com-mits to our 10 weeksstraight, and LakesideChristian reached out tous and we are very appre-ciative of the opportunityto hold it there.”

Pre-Service Training isrequired to become a De-partment for CommunityBased Services foster oradoptive parent, Nier-garth said. The informa-tional meeting will pro-vide a general overviewof the program, and endwith families completingpaperwork for back-ground checks. Eachclass covers a differenttopic related to parentingchildren in care.

PARK HILLS – Covington CatholicHigh School senior Josh Hildreth’s pas-sion for tinkering on a competition robotnamed “Chainsaw” knows few bound-aries.

“I take it around everywhere and onweekends even,” Hildreth said. “Theguys joke around with me that I’m datingthe robot.”

“Chainsaw” doesn’t cut anything. Thename came from an early design thatmade the robot’s whirring motions looklike a chainsaw, Hildreth said.

“We decided to keep the name,” hesaid.

Hildreth, of Alexandria, is one of 40CovCath robotics/engineering club stu-dents. The club is tied to the school’sSTEM (Science, Technology, Engineer-ing and Math) program started last fall.

CovCath has 160 students taking twodifferent STEM courses – 25 percent ofenrolled students.

Robotics club members will host stu-dents from around the region for an inau-gural “CovCath Colonel Classic VEXTournament” from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.Saturday, Feb. 6, at Thomas More Col-lege’s Steigerwald Hall.

CovCath has five robotics teams thathave already competed this year against91teams in two different competitions inShelbyville, Kentucky, and Elizabeth-

town, Kentucky.Robotics club students specialize in

mechanical engineering and program-ming, said STEM coordinator and clubcoach Bob Lind.

During competition, students’ robotshave two minutes to perform tasks au-tonomously at first, and then with re-mote-control guidance. This year’s taskis to see how many balls a robot can cata-pult or pitch into a hoop-shaped hole.

“Chainsaw” uses a flywheel design toaim balls at the hole similar to how ballscome out of a batting cage machine.Chainsaw can shoot a dozen balls in thespan of a few seconds.

“We have several gear ratios. Thefirst gear ratio here is geared for speedso when the motor spins around it makesthree revolutions then the wheel spins 49revolutions,” Hildreth said.

Hildreth, his team’s chief engineer,has accepted an offer from University ofLouisville’s J.B. Speed School of Engi-neering to pay for his tuition for 5.5years. It’s enough time to get both bache-lor’s and master’s degrees, Hildreth said.

Tinkering on “Chainsaw” at home andduring any free moments at school is “apassion,” he said. Hildreth takes the ro-bot and a backpack filled with parts toLind’s engineering class and to a Com-puter-Aided Design (CAD) class.

“I’m actually building this robot inCAD and it goes up to 1/1000th of an inchis the accuracy of it,” he said.

Lind said CovCath STEM courses tak-en by robotics club students and othersare taught in partnership with national-STEM curriculum provider ProjectLead the Way.

Courses are “hands-on” opportunitiesfor students to learn a three-dimensionalmodeling computer program and prac-tice principles of engineering, he said.

Students learn about gears and me-chanical systems, robotics, bridge de-signs, hydraulics, electronics and com-puter breadboards. Breadboards are de-vices for constructing an electronic cir-cuit without soldering a connection,

Math teacher Joe Gastenveld, anoth-er CovCath robotics coach, said he andLind mostly answer students’ questions.

“Most of this stuff is 100 percent theiridea, they’re building the things, they’reprogramming them, they’re picking theparts up,” Gastenwald said.

Sophomore Brett Schomaker, of Cres-cent Springs, said he was in a Lego robot-ics club in grade school.

“I thought it was a little bit too sim-plistic so I stopped doing that,” Scho-maker said.

Schomaker, lead programer for hisrobotics team, said he decided to sign upfor the club as soon as he came to Cov-Cath as a freshman.

“I’ve always been interested in com-puters, so when I came here I saw robot-ics and I was like, ‘Oh, I should try thatout,’” he said.

Enter the Northern Ken-tucky University Campus RecCenter and immerse yourself in... pretty much whatever youlike, if you’re a student.

Choices include diving into a13-foot-deep diving well fromboards or the climbing wall andswimming in pools containingmore than 340,000 gallons ofwater. Running or walking on anelevated indoor track. Climbingon boulders, cave included.Working out with fitness equip-ment. Doing the whole intramu-ral college thing.

This is a “green” center, airyand spacious, measuring169,000 square feet (rather thanthe original recreation center athalf that size). With 677 win-dows. (The old one had six.)

The newly expanded NKUCampus Rec Center isn’t justdesigned for athletes.

“This is much more than justopen basketball and organizedsports,” said Matthew Hacket,director of campus recreation.

It was a student-inspired,student-driven project. And theresult is a selling point for theuniversity.

Universities throughout thenation have known this foryears. The quality of the cam-pus recreation center is a majordraw to lure new students and tokeep them. The facilities are in-tended to be student-inclusive,and some, such as NKU’s, in-clude the greater community intheir offerings.

Miami University recog-nized the value of such facilitieswhen, in 1994, it opened its Rec-reational Sports Center. Thecenter was billed as a mission toserve students’ education andwellness, said Doug Curry, ex-ecutive director of the univer-sity’s recreation services.

“We think of the holistic edu-cation of the student,” Currysaid.

The Miami facility, withabout 200,000 usable squarefeet, has gotten a 96 percent sat-isfaction rating from studentsevery year over the last 10 anddraws 3,000 to 3,500 students a

day, university surveys and rec-ords show.

Other Ohio universities arealso serving their students as a

whole with rec centers.“What’s important for us is,

we support the wellness of ourstudents, and that includes agreat many aspects of their stu-dent life,” said David Isaacs, aspokesman from Ohio StateUniversity’s Student Life of-fices.

Likewise, the University ofCincinnati admissions officialsrecognize that their multipur-pose Campus Recreation Cen-ter is key to satisfying students.

“It’s important enough to ourprospective students and par-ents that it’s one of the stops wemake when we do our tours,”said Thomas Canepa, associatevice president for admissions atUC.

The campus rec center of-fers 200,000 square feet withinwhich anything from rockclimbing to weight training andmore traditional sports are fea-tured.

The concept behind the NKUrec center was hatched by stu-dents and is funded through astudent-approved fee. The costis estimated at $48 million.

Hackett said the studentsfueled the creation of the cen-ter.

“They wanted natural-lightwindows, fitness studios and so-cial space, personal training, anindoor track,” he said. “We’vebeen able to include all thethings they had envisioned.”

A resolution passed last yearby the Student Government As-sociation also called for the in-stallation of gender-inclusiverestrooms in every academicand commonly used building, sothe new center includes them,and changing facilities.

The building has 80, 400-foot-deep geothermal wells to heatwater features and much of thebuilding, rendering it “green.”

Hacket said the 18-monthconstruction project has beenexciting to watch. More impor-tant is the evidence that stu-dents are excited: The CampusRec Center already has drawnabout twice as many students inits first three months of full use,at about 60,000 visits, than itsprevious rendition did in thatamount of time in past years.

FEBRUARY 4, 2016 • ALEXANDRIA 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.

A publication of

law requiring the senator andrepresentative of a districtwith a public funded project inprogress to give up a third oftheir government and personalsalary during the constructionphase of the project to helppay for the project. This willalso cut costs and is just as fairto the legislators as SB9 is tothe workers.

The prevailing wage isthere to insure workers aren’tcheated by being paid less thancomparable workers in thesame area and was designed toprotect them from contractorswho bid on these projects. Noone thought they would have tobe protected from their ownlegislators.

SB9 exposes the truth aboutRepublican policy. Unless youare a businessman, govern-ment can’t help you. It’s notgovernment’s job. The truth isgovernment is the only entitythat can protect you from theunjust and predatory nature ofbusiness and the free market.SB9 eliminates that protection.

MSgt Thomas Vance USAF RetAlexandria

Our senator wants youto be paid less

Kentucky State Sen. WilSchroder supports a law, SB9,mandating that workers whowould normally be paid by lawthe “prevailing wage,” not bepaid the prevailing wage whenworking on school constructionprojects to save taxpayer mon-ey on these projects. If theworkers of Bracken, Campbelland Pendleton counties hadany doubt whether Repub-licans cared about the welfareof their families, they needdoubt no longer. Republicanswant their families to give upsome of their income to buildpublic school projects. I guessusing schools and childrensomehow makes this theft ofthe workers’ salaries morallyjust but I wonder what justifi-cation they will use when theytry to expand this theft to otherprojects.

Why do Republicans alwaysplace the burden for “cuttingbig government” on those whomake the least?

Here’s an idea! How about a

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Last week’s questionWho will be President of theUnited States one year from to-day? Why will he or she havewon?

“One year from today wewill be hailing the almightyand magnificent PresidentTrump. I am not saying I agreewith this choice, but yet againit will be a matter of the major-ity of the population votingagainst the greater evil ratherthan for the best choice. I trulylong for an election where wecan in good conscience vote forthe right candidate with pas-sion and belief that he or she isthe best and correct choice forthe highest office in our soci-ety. Trump simply has toomuch momentum, media pres-ence and too many faithfulfollowers to be stopped. He issaying the things that too manyof us feel need to be said, andwhich the other hopefuls aretoo PC to state. On the cam-paign side he doesn’t requirehuge donations and is there-fore beholden to none of thespecial interests. If nothingelse, this election cycle so farhas been good entertainment.”

M.J.F.

“I think it will be Ted Cruz.Most of America will finallywake up and realize that healthcare isn’t a right it is a privi-lege, that Christianity is thenational religion, diplomacy isweak and bombing is strongand good, woman should cededecisions about their bodiesand reproductive health towealthy, white evangelicalmales, and every citizen’s dutyis to be armed with an opencarry weapon.

“I can relate very well to hispopulist story of attendingcommon Ivy League schools,marrying a common GoldmanSachs executive and taking ajob where you grind your placeof employment to a standstill.

“For all these democraticand patriotic reasons I see himcoming out on top next year.”

C.S.

“One year from today, you

arrive home excited becauseyou met with your boss todayand he said due to increase inbusiness, he was promotingyou to manage the new em-ployees. A raise comes withthe job. The HR manager in-forms you your health insur-ance is going down in pricebecause of increased competi-tion. Then you think back, ayear earlier the country feltlike it was rapidly suffocating,No good jobs, increased healthinsurance premiums and aNavy suffering through aThird World country holdingguns to their heads on theirown ship.”

J.H.D.

“Right now Democrat Hilla-ry Clinton and Donald Trumpare the favorites for their par-ties. I think the Democraticnominee has that 47 percent ofvoters (Romney’s claim ofthose not paying taxes and/oron entitlements) in their hippocket. Trump seems to havecaptured the American voters’disappointment with currentleadership. He seems to havewhat the frustration fueledmasses are looking for, i.e., achange or the next RonaldReagan. I think that voter frus-tration will ‘trump’ Hillary’svery questionable track rec-ord. I hope Trump chooseswisely his VP, cabinet andadvisers. He scares me, but Iam naively optimistic he canright the ship. I look forward totheir debates next fall.”T.D.T.

Most of us have either experi-enced or witnessed a car out ofcontrol on an icy road. If youwere fortunate enough to escape

injury, you probably are much more cau-tious than you were before the incident.During wintry weather, a few additionaltraffic laws apply. However, many peoplemay not be aware of those laws.

For example, on snowy or icy roads,drivers can be cited for speeding or reck-less driving even if they are driving thespeed limit or slower. If an officer feels thedriver’s speed in the wintry conditions isunsafe, a citation will be issued. In addition,if a driver loses control of the car andslides through a stop sign or a red light, heor she could be cited for the traffic vio-lation. And if that violation causes a trafficaccident, the driver is liable.

When the weather affects the roads, thefollowing guidelines apply:

» Snow reduces the normal speed limitby half;

» Ice changes the normal speed limit to5 to 10 mph;

» Rain or wet road conditions reduce thenormal speed limit by 5 to 10 mph; and

» Heavy rain, snow or fog that limits thevisual field to 100 feet changes the normalspeed limit to 30 mph.

Driving on snowy and icy roads is dan-gerous and should be avoided if at all pos-sible. For those who have to drive, the Ken-tucky State Police offer these suggestions:

» Slow down. In order to maintain con-trol of your car in wintry weather, youmust decrease your speed.

» Increase brakingdistances. Give yourselfadditional stopping dis-tances. This will help pre-vent the possibility ofsliding through stop signsand traffic lights.

» Increase the distancebetween your car and thecar in front of you. Thiswill give you more time tostop if your car slides onthe road.

» Always buckle up.Seat belts and child safety seats are the lawin Kentucky. And it’s never more importantto wear these safety devices than duringthe wintry weather.

These suggestions, along with the addi-tional traffic laws, were developed to en-courage safe driving and prevent injuryduring wintry weather. Unfortunately,drivers who follow all the rules and sugges-tions for driving on snowy roads still mayfind themselves in a traffic accident. Eventhe best drivers are in danger of causing anaccident or being the victim of one. So, if atall possible, simply stay off the roads inwintry weather. That is the safest andsmartest suggestion of all.

FRANKFORT – Under the di-rection of head coach MikeCode, Bishop Brossart has frus-trated many opponents withhard-nosed halfcourt defenseand toughness. Jan. 28, the Mus-tangs met their match in thefirst round of the All “A” statetournament, falling to a defen-sive-minded Murray team, 37-33.

Brossart finished with moreturnovers (12) than field goals(11), and shot just 33.3 percentfor the game. Murray alternat-ed its defense between a stickyhalfcourt man-to-man and ahalfcourt zone, but the biggestkey to their success was stayingtight in the halfcourt and gettingdeflections to keep the Mus-tangs out of their offense. Mur-ray finished as state runner-upto Cordia.

“We saw them beat Paris inthe regional final, 54-50, andthey got three baskets off thesame backdoor play three dif-ferent times,” Murray coachBart Flener said. “We made sureto take away the backdoor. I justthought our guys were really di-aled in. They didn’t want tocome up here and face whatthey had to last year, which wasa tough first round loss.”

Jacob Zai led Brossart with10 points. The Mustangs’ lead-ing scorer, senior JacksonCrawford, finished with ninepoints and eight rebounds. Hecame into the game averaging16.9 points per game.

Junior guard Preston Englishfinished with 12 points and bur-ied three 3-pointers for the Ti-gers. Lipscomb commit JamesBoone was limited to six pointson 1-for-7 shooting with fourboards, but added five assists.

Despite a slow start, Brossarthad its chances in the closingminutes.

After trailing by seven enter-ing the fourth quarter, a threefrom senior forward Joey Hick-man and a free throw fromCrawford brought the Mustangsback within one possession, 31-28, with 4:14 to play in the game.However, Murray big man Eth-an Clark nailed an open three tokeep the Tigers in control forthe time being.

Zai buried a three with 2:03

left to spark Brossart’s finalpush. That shot drew the Mus-tangs within two, 35-33. Murraybled over 30 seconds off theclock on their following posses-sion, before a traveling violationgave the ball back to the Mus-tangs.

The ensuing go-ahead 3-pointattempt from Hickman rimmedout, forcing the Mustangs to foul

with 35.3 to play. Boone missedthe front end of a bonus situa-tion at the charity stripe, butBrossart couldn’t convert on adrive at the other end. The Mus-tangs fouled Boone again, andthe second time he sank a pair offree throws to put the game outof reach 37-33 with 10.9 to play.

“We’re going to battle andwe’re going to fight,” Brossart

coach Mike Code said. “We had athree in the air to take the leadwith under a minute to play, ifthat goes down, who knows. Itold the kids in the locker room,I’m disappointed for them, butI’m not disappointed in them.They’re a hard group to staymad at. They give you every-thing they’ve got. We were try-ing tonight, Murray was just alittle better.”

The always-methodical Mus-tangs’ offense combined withthe sagging halfcourt defense ofMurray was the perfect stormfor an extremely slow paced andugly game.

The Mustangs only scoredone field goal for the first 10-plus minutes of the game, be-fore Crawford ended theirdrought with 5:45 left in the halfon a spin move and finish tomake it a 12-5 game.

Zai nailed a three with 3:30 toplay in the second quarter, andBryce Kremer followed a pos-session later with a triple to cutthe Mustangs’ deficit to one-pos-session, 14-11.

With a little over a minute toplay in the half, Boone answeredwith an and-one finish at the oth-er end of the court, giving the Ti-gers a 16-11 advantage at inter-mission. By that point, Murrayhad six field goals and six turn-overs on offense, and Brossarthad four field goals with fiveturnovers.

Preston English’s three fromthe left wing with just over fourminutes to play in the third quar-ter pushed Murray’s lead to dou-ble-digits for the first time, 23-13. However, Hickman an-swered right back with a threeat the other end for Brossart.

Hickman’s three sparked an8-2 run for the Mustangs tomake it a 25-21game with a min-ute to play in the third, but athree from Boone curbed theirmomentum and pushed the Ti-gers’ lead back to seven headinginto the fourth.

Murray began draining theclock with over five minutes leftand only a four-point lead, whichcontributed to the chaotic end-ing.

Brossart fell to 16-4 and willplay at Pendleton County Feb. 4before traveling to NewportCentral Catholic in a big rivalrygame Feb. 6.

CAMPBELL COUNTY – TheHitt family made high schoolbowling history for the secondyear in a row at the Region 5 sin-gles tournaments at SuperBowl Erlanger Jan. 26.

Campbell County seventh-grader Kaylee Hitt became theyoungest bowler to win a Re-gion 5 singles championshipwith a 161-131 victory over de-fending champion ElizabethMasminster of Dayton in thegirls’ stepladder bracket final.

Hitt, who turned 13 on Jan.17, surpassed brother AustinHitt as the region’s youngestchampion. Austin Hitt won lastyear’s Region 5 boys’ singlescrown as an eighth-grader. Heremains the youngest Region 5boys’ singles champion, but fin-ished seventh this year.

“I’m kind of shocked,” saidKaylee, a Campbell CountyMiddle School student. “I knewI had it in me. But, still, I’m kindof surprised and very happy.”

The younger Hitt, the re-gion’s top seed, qualified for theFeb. 11-12 state tournament atCollins Eastland Lanes in Lex-

ington. Masminster, a seniorand Tuesday’s fourth seed, isheading to state for the thirdyear in a row.

The key shots for KayleeHitt were double strikes in theninth frame of the final with adifferent ball that followed adifficult 2-10 split pickup forspare by Masminster.

“She did that all on her own,”said father and Camels assis-tant coach, Josh Hitt, who ownsand operates Hitt’s Pro Shop In

Newport with his father. “Theball she was using wasn’t get-ting enough friction, so sheswitched and got the hook shewanted.”

In the team event, the Camp-bell County boys team returnedto the state tourney.

The Camels battled throughto the finals Jan. 28 after fallingbehind Dayton 2-0 in the best-of-five quarterfinals. Campbellrallied to average 186 the nextthree games to advance, then

FRANKFORT, Ky. – Murray,Kentucky, in the western part ofthe state, is the home of the Mur-ray State University Racers.

Murray High School, lessthan two miles away from theuniversity, calls its team the Ti-gers, but its girls basketballteam is a fast and athletic unit aswell, and the squad used itsdepth and uptempo attack torace and roar past Newport Cen-tral Catholic Jan. 30 in the Ken-tucky All “A” Classic state semi-finals.

Murray, ranked 11th in thestate by the Litkenhous comput-er ratings, improved to 23-1 byrouting the Thoroughbreds 65-39 at Frankfort Convention Cen-ter.

“They’re a very good defen-sive team,” said NCC head coachGeorge Stoll. “They have a goodcombination of size, quicknessand athleticism. They reboundthe ball pretty well, too. They’regood. Today they outplayed usand they beat us.”

Murray came in with fourplayers averaging between 10and 13 points per game, whilecollectively averaging 68 pointsper game on offense as a team.

The Tigers gradually pulledaway in the first half and led 31-14 at the break. One key player inthe first half was forward Mad-die Waldrop, a 6-foot-2 juniorwho has received offers fromseveral Division I schools inKentucky and Tennessee. Shehad eight points, an assist and ablocked shot in the first half. Shecontinually got in the lane onNCC’s smaller defenders.

With Murray leading 16-11late in the first quarter, Waldropscored inside to make it 18-11,then with the clock runningdown, she cut inside from thecorner down the baseline. As theNewCath defense focused onWaldrop, sophomore AlexandriaMayes sneaked into the same

corner to hit a wide-open 3-point-er, and Murray led 21-11 headinginto the second period.

Murray limited NewCath tothree points in the second quar-ter, and led 31-14 at halftime.Murray led 52-26 after three andby as much as 32 points in thefourth.

Waldrop and Mayes tied forgame leadership with 16 points.Sophomore point guard MaceyTurley had 11 points and six as-sists. Sophomore Alexis Burpohad nine points and 12 rebounds.

“We wanted to limit them toone shot, and that was key,” saidMurray head coach RechelleTurner. “We were able to get outand run. When we can play atour tempo, we feel like we’repretty hard to stop.”

“That’s what makes them sogood is their balance,” Stoll said.“(Turley) is a tremendous play-er. She’s able to calm everythingdown for them and get them inthe correct positions. She’s sogood at distributing the ball.(Waldrop) played awesome.She’s a great player.”

Murray’s defense was thereal star of the first half. NCCshot just 6 of 22 for the half (27percent), and most of those six

makes were tough, acrobaticshots under heavy pressurefrom the Tigers.

Murray had 10 blocked shots,five from Waldrop, and onlycommitted seven fouls for thegame. Murray was 20--for-24from the free-throw line andshot 57 percent from the floor(20-for-37). NCC was 3 of 6 fromthe foul line and shot 30 percentfrom the field (15-for-50). Mur-ray had 16 assists to eight for theThoroughbreds.

NCC senior Ansley Daven-port, who had 35 points the daybefore in an overtime win overGlasgow, was limited to 12points on 5 of 11shooting and hadseven rebounds.

“They’re very good, very tal-ented,” Davenport said. “Theymade us work and I have a lot ofrespect for them. They’re a verygood team. I’m really proud ofmy team. We did the best that wecould. I’m thankful to get downhere and get as far as we did.”

Olivia Schalk had six pointsand six assists for NCC, who willregroup and look ahead to the36th District tournament.FollowJames on Twitter @JWeberSports

NCC’s Lexy Breen drives past Glasgow’s Skyler Burd.

FRANKFORT, Ky. – With aminute to play in their All “A”Classic state quarterfinal Jan.29, it was announced that New-port Central Catholic senior BenWeyer had tied the tournamentsingle-game record with 22 re-bounds. By then, Weyer was re-laxed on the bench and ready toprepare for the semifinals.

“He was unbelievable on theboards,” said NCC head coachRon Dawn. “If I had known that Iwould have left him in there andhe could have shattered the rec-ord. He did a great job.”

Weyer was a one-man wreck-ing crew at Frankfort Conven-tion Center, almost single-hand-edly sinking the Danville Admi-rals and anchoring the Thor-oughbreds’ efforts during a61-44 NewCath win. In additionto the 22 boards (15 defensive),Weyer had 38 points, threeblocked shots, two assists and asteal.

“Tonight the shots were fall-ing,” Weyer said. “Last night, Ijust played a different game. To-night was my night. We’ve beenplaying as a team, and on a givennight it can be anybody.”

Danville led 10-9 late in thefirst quarter, but Weyer scored16 points the rest of the half, in-cluding 13 in the second quarter,to lead NCC on a 24-7 run into thelocker room. He used all of his of-fensive weapons including hisvariety of post moves and ball-fakes, midrange jumpers, andthe 3-point shot. Weyer was 14 of26 from the field and 9-for-13from the foul line. He outscoredthe entire Danville lineup untillate in the game.

“We felt we could go inside,”Dawn said. “Their athleticismconcerned us, their quickness.They play so hard. We knew we

had to match their effort and Ithought we did a good job ofthat.”

The night before in the firstround against Lexington Chris-tian, Weyer was one of five Thor-oughbreds in double figures,posting 11 points, 13 rebounds,seven assists and five blocks inNCC’s 21-point win.

“Tonight was his night scor-ing but last night I thought he hada heck of a game, too,” Dawnsaid. “He almost had a triple(double). He played a great gamelast night. We got the ball to himmore tonight. We felt we had anadvantage in there tonight and itworked out that way.”

NCC lost 47-41to Cordia in thesemifinals.

Ramon Mercado’s 3-pointbasket with 44 seconds to playgave Cordia the lead for good asthe upstart Lions from easternKentucky knocked off the three-time defending All “A” statechampions. Cordia beat Murrayfor the title the next day.

NCC (18-4) took its first loss inthe state tournament since the

2011 semifinals, snapping a 14-game winning streak in the tour-nament.

Following Mercado’s eventu-al winning trey, NCC missed a 3-pointer and the front end of aone-and-one free throw opportu-nity. After that free throw, NCC’sWeyer volleyed for the reboundwith Zeke Biallas, a 6-foot-6 Cor-dia junior, but Biallas won thebattle with 21 seconds left andwas fouled.

Biallas made both ends of theone-and-one on the other end tomake it a four-point game at 45-41, and junior guard AnthonyNelson later notched two freethrows for the final margin.

“We had to execute better,”said Dawn. “We had threechances to make it a two-posses-sion game. We missed some freethrows, took a couple of quickshots, bad shots. We’ll learn fromit.”

Cordia ran an uptempo attackand does well at protecting therim with Biallas, 7-foot sopho-more and native Haitian OumarKeita, and 6-5 junior Malik Hen-ry. Junior guard Nelson, who av-erages 17 points per game for theyear, led Cordia with 16 Saturdayand stands 6-4.

“They’re good. They’re veryathletic,” Dawn said. “They’re agood defensive team and theygot size. We won’t play anotherteam with that kind of size. Andthey’re not big, slow guys.They’re athletic.”

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 Monahan,

served as Covington Pro-vincial 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 of edu-cation.

“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 sheneeded 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 Colum-bus are always friendly,”Sister Mary Margaretsaid. “They wear a smileand seem to enjoy workingtogether. Plus, they takecare to get all of the foodand work to get as muchdonated as possible, thuseliminating expenses.”

Biery also acknowl-

edged the dedication of hisfellow members. “My fa-vorite aspect is seeing howmany Knights turn out towork,” he said. “We host alot of events, but this oneseems to draw more work-ers. And we don’t evenhave to call them. Theyjust 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 Sundaybreakfast.

A scholarshipequaled validation ofpoet Carrie Jerrell’sabilities as an artist.

Jerrell received moretime last year to getinspired and do researchfor a book of poems sheis writing on the mythol-ogy and reality of theAmerican West, thanksto an Al Smith Individ-ual Artist Fellowship.

“Time is what everyartist needs,” said Jer-rell, who also teaches atMurray State Univer-sity, and who receivedan Al Smith Fellowshipin 2015. “I spent threeweeks traveling before Istarted my writing resi-dency last summer inNebraska. It was time Ididn’t have to teach inthe summer to try to getthe money to do it nextyear. It gives you time tothink, time to write,time to see the thingsthat inspire you or helpyou figure out what it isyou’re going to do. It’sgood to imagine, but tobe in it for a little whileis so much more useful.It was priceless. Thefellowship allowed me todo the residency, whichwas great, but it alsoallowed me the benefitof travel to prep mymind for the residency.”

Writers of fiction,creative nonfiction andpoetry, as well as chore-ographers, can apply forthe two scholarshipsthrough the KentuckyArts Council EmergingArtist Award for indi-

vidualartists.

The AlSmithIndividualArtistFellow-ship pro-gram sup-ports Ken-

tucky artists engaged increating work of highquality and recognizescreative excellenceamong professionalartists. Fellowships areunrestricted $7,500awards.

The Emerging ArtistAward is a $1,000 unre-stricted award to earlycareer, professionalKentucky artists whodemonstrate excellenceand creativity in theirwork.

“It’s a boost whensomeone believes inyour work,” Jerrell said.“Writing is a lonely art,so for any organizationto say ‘we think thisproject has promise,’ itgives you a real shot inthe arm.”

That’s a sentimentshared by 2012 Emerg-ing Artist Award recipi-ent Matthew Gaddie ofBardstown. Gaddie is awood fire ceramic artist,and has been practicingthat craft professionallyfor more than 10 years.

“Spiritually and emo-tionally winning some-thing like that lets youknow you’re doing some-thing right,” said Gad-die. “Every artist I knowof is addicted to the high

from people understand-ing and appreciatingyour work. It makes youfeel validated; thatyou’re on the right path,doing what you’re sup-posed to do. When youdo it for a living, successin art is such a movingtarget. When you getrecognition like theEmerging Artist Award,you feel more confidentin what you’re doing.”

Guidelines for the AlSmith Individual ArtistFellowship and theEmerging Artist Awardapplications can befound at the arts coun-cil’s website. Applica-tions are judged by apanel of independentarts professionals onartistic excellence andprofessional achieve-ment.

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

Interested parties, orthose who have ques-tions or need more in-formation, should con-tact Tamara Coffey,individual artist direc-tor, at 502-564-3757, ext.479, [email protected].

The Kentucky ArtsCouncil, the state artsagency, fosters environ-ments for Kentuckiansto value, participate inand benefit from thearts. Kentucky ArtsCouncil funding is pro-vided by the KentuckyGeneral Assembly andthe National Endowmentfor the Arts.

NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS OF KENTUCKY UTILITIES COMPANYRECOVERY BY ENVIRONMENTAL SURCHARGE OF KENTUCKY UTILITIES COMPANY’S

2016 ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE PLAN

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that Kentucky Utilities Company (“KU”) filed with the Kentucky Public Ser-vice Commission (“Commission”) on January 29, 2016 in Case No. 2016-00026, an Application pursuant toKentucky Revised Statute 278.183 for approval of an amended compliance plan (“KU’s 2016 EnvironmentalCompliance Plan”) for the purpose of recovering the capital costs associated with new pollution control facilitiesthrough an increase in the environmental surcharge on customers’ bills beginning August 31, 2016 under KU’sexisting Electric Rate Schedule ECR, also known as the environmental cost recovery surcharge. The total capitalcost of the projects in KU’s 2016 Environmental Compliance Plan is estimated to be $678 million.

Federal, state, and local environmental regulations require KU to build and upgrade equipment andfacilities that produce energy from coal to operate in an environmentally sound manner. Specifically, KU isseeking Commission approval of Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity for the construction of PhaseII of the landfill at the E.W. Brown Generation Station (“Brown”), and to close coal-combustion-residual (“CCR”)ponds and construct new process-water facilities at Brown, the Ghent Generating Station (“Ghent”), and theTrimble County Generating Station. Each construction project is component of KU’s 2016 Environmental Compli-ance Plan.

KU is also seeking an order declaring that CCR pond closures at the Green River Generating Sta-tion, Pineville Generating Station, and Tyrone Generating Station are ordinary extensions of existing systems ofthe usual course of business.

Lastly, KU is seeking an order approving an amended compliance plan for purposes of recoveringthe costs of new pollution control facilities through its Environmental Surcharge tariff. These projects are requiredfor KU to comply with the federal Clean Air Act as amended, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s new ruleon the Disposal of CCR from Electric Utilities, the Mercury Air Toxics Standards, and other environmental require-ments that apply to KU facilities used in the production of energy from coal. In addition to the projects describedabove, additional projects in KU’s 2016 Environmental Compliance Plan include installing improvements to theWet Flue Gas Desulfurization systems on Ghent Unit 2 and installing improvements to the mercury-related con-trol equipment of Ghent Units 1-4, thereby allowing additive injections to mitigate mercury emissions. The totalcapital cost of the new pollution control facilities for which KU is seeking recovery at this time is estimated to be$640 million. Additional operation and maintenance expenses will be incurred for certain projects in KU’s 2016Environmental Compliance Plan and are costs that KU is requesting to recover through the environmental sur-charge in its application.

The impact on KU’s customers is estimated to be a 2.06% increase in 2016 with a maximum in-crease of 3.35% in 2019. For a KU residential customer using 1,146 kilowatt hours per month, the initial monthlyincrease is expected to be $2.16 during 2016, with the maximum monthly increase expected to be $3.52 during2019.

The Environmental Surcharge Application described in this Notice is proposed by KU. However, thePublic Service Commission may issue an order modifying or denying KU’s Environmental Surcharge Application.Such action may result in an environmental surcharge for consumers other than the environmental surchargedescribed in this Notice.

Comments regarding KU’s 2016 Environmental Surcharge Plan and Application may be submitted tothe Public Service Commission through its Web site or by mail to the Public Service Commission, Post Office Box615, Frankfort, Kentucky 40602.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORTMayor and the City CouncilCity of Highland HeightsHighland Heights, Kentucky

Report on the Financial StatementsWe have audited the accompanying fi nancial statements of the governmental activities and the aggregate remaining fund information of City Highland Heights, Kentucky, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015, and the related notes to the fi nancial statements, which collectively comprise the City's basic fi nancial statements as listed in the table of contents.Management's Responsibility for the Financial StatementsManagement is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these fi nancial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of fi nancial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.Auditors' ResponsibilityOur responsibility is to express opinions on these fi nancial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to fi nancial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the fi nancial statements are free from material misstatement.An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the fi nancial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the fi nancial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the fi nancial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of signifi cant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the fi nancial statements.We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suffi cient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.OpinionIn our opinion, the fi nancial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective fi nancial position of the governmental activities and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Highland Heights, Kentucky, as of June 30, 2015, and the respective changes in fi nancial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Other MattersRequired Supplementary InformationAccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis, budgetary comparison information, and pension schedules on pages 3-9 and 27- 34 be presented to supplement the basic fi nancial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic fi nancial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of fi nancial reporting for placing the basic fi nancial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic fi nancial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic fi nancial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with suffi cient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing StandardsIn accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 14, .2015, on our consideration of the City of Highland Heights, Kentucky’s internal control over fi nancial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over fi nancial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over fi nancial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering City of Highland Heights, Kentucky’s internal control over fi nancial reporting and compliance .
