ON TOFINALS B1Crusaders enterplayoffs on highnote

BURLINGTON — Boone Coun-ty will be the first Northern Ken-tucky county to enter the nation-al conversation about the rightto work.

Twenty-six states – includingKentucky – do not have right-to-work laws, and Kentucky has be-come the front line of efforts topass local right-to-work laws inthem, the Courier-Journal re-ported last month.

Warren County was the firstto introduce right-to-work legis-lation, followed by 11more coun-ties including Hardin, which hasbeen the target of a federal law-suit.

“We believe the time hascome to put it on the agenda for afirst reading to explore if it

should or shouldnot be passed inBoone County,”said Judge-exec-utive GaryMoore.

The ordi-nance, which waspresented at theFeb. 17 meeting

at 2950 Washington St., specifies“that no employee covered bythe National Labor Relations Actneed join or pay dues to a union,or refrain from joining a union,as a condition of employment.”

Moore said Boone Countymisses out on half the economicdevelopment opportunitiesavailable to the region becauseit’s not a right-to-work communi-ty.

“Many companies want to bein a right-to-work community,

and if you’re not, you don’t get ashot. You’re not in the game ofpossibly attracting that businessto your county,” he said. “Be-cause of the ‘home rule’ statute,counties can become right towork on a county-by-county ba-sis, because the state is not.

“Hardin County has beenchallenged in federal court andthat is already underway,”Moore said. “We understandthere could be potential litiga-tion, but at the same time, it’s avery simple point of law. It’s nota very complicated issue to sortout. That could potentially limitour liability. It’s the same ques-tion throughout other counties.We have a lot of potential part-ners in defending it.”

Tim Donoghue, president ofthe Northern Kentucky LaborCouncil, said his organization

will fight the legislation.“We are dead against right to

work, and we’re going to fightthat tooth and nail,” Donoghuesaid. “This is a state issue thatcannot be done county by coun-ty. Lawsuits have been filed.This is not something they’re do-ing for people. They’re doing itto weaken the unions and bustthem.”

The labor leader said morethan 8,000 current AFL-CIOmembers live in Boone County,and their livelihoods and futureemployment are jeopardized.

Moore said the proposed ordi-nance doesn’t affect currentunion contracts.

“This is about the future, notexisting contracts,” he said. “Itdoes not impact public employ-ees, such as police or fire per-sonnel, or transportation, which

would include TANK. It does notaffect public sector employees,but strictly private sector em-ployees, and it does not apply toany existing contracts.”

Moore said the ordinancewould give the “employee theopportunity to opt out, if theychoose, on future contracts.”

Brent Yessin, a Florida-basedlabor lawyer who is originallyfrom Kentucky, has been con-sulted by 12 Kentucky countiesthat have introduced right-to-work legislation, and more thantwo dozen other counties thatare considering the same.

Yessin started two nonprofitorganizations to support the leg-islation. Protect My Check is a501c4 organization that helpsprovide legal defense for coun-

BURLINGTON — Snowbound,with time and energy to spare,Chad Caddell put his creativityto work for the community.

Caddell, a drama teacherwho struck a chord with his“Snowhemian Rhapsody” videofor Stephens Elementary lastyear, decided to start a 2015“Freeze Your Butt, CoverTheirs” Challenge to raiseawareness and funds for Life-line Ministries of NorthernKentucky.

Lifeline Ministries is locatedat 4115 Dixie Hwy., Elsmere.More information can be foundonline at lifelineofnky.org.

“We’ve been out for a fewdays. Everything you hear is the

white death, snowmageddon,and we all have cabin fever,” hesaid. “So I thought, what if wecan use this day to do somethinggood and bless Lifeline Minis-tries with our support?”

Caddell made a new video,challenging others to play in thesnow while wearing shorts orswimsuits, to spread the wordabout Lifeline Ministries anddonate money they would havespent on lunches this week atwork to the organization.

“We’re just trying to dosomething connected to thesnow, because that’s the themeof everyone’s life right now,”Caddell said.

“It is out of the box,” saidChris Caddell, Chad’s brotherand founder of Lifeline Minis-tries of Northern Kentucky.

“I love the creativity of it,”Chris Caddell said. “You canonly play so many board gamesand card games. People are athome, bored out of their minds,and spending a lot of time onFacebook and other socialmedia. He leveraged this timeand weather for our benefit.”

People have been postingtheir challenge videos to ChadCaddell’s Facebook page, anddonations are also coming in.

“We are really getting someawesome feedback. We’ve gar-nered a donor base and aware-ness we didn’t have before,”said Chris Caddell.

BURLINGTON — After morethan a decade, Boone County’swebsite will be revamped thisyear.

County Spokesman Mat-thew Webster said the website– boonecountyky.org – was duefor an update, needs more intu-itive navigation and a lesscumbersome maintenanceprocess.

During the Feb. 17 BooneCounty Fiscal Court meeting,the update was approved by aunanimous vote. Commission-er Cathy Flaig was not present.

Webster said the currentprocess allows only one personto input all website changes,but the new system would givepermissions to each depart-ment for changes, while onlyone person would approve theupdates.

“It’s a much more efficientway to deliver information andupdates to the community,”Webster said.

“It’s an exciting time to getthis updated,” said Judge-ex-ecutive Gary Moore. “I knowthis is going to improve ourcommunication and transpar-ency with the community. Wehear a lot about that thesedays.”

Revize Government Web-sites of Troy, Michigan, wasapproved to complete the web-site upgrade. Webster said thecompany exclusively works on

governmentwebsites formunicipalitiesand counties,including Ken-ton.

Cost for theproject wouldbe $18,634, andincludes de-

sign, implementation, migra-tion of more than 500 webpages, and training for countystaff.

The project fee includesone year of maintenance,which could be added in subse-quent years for $3,100 eachyear for unlimited support,twice-annual software up-grades, and another design up-grade after four years.

The new website, whichwon’t be changed for severalmonths, should include a spe-cial alert bar that can notifyresidents of emergencyweather or other events, aswell as a translator for a varie-ty of languages.

The site will also includeone location for forms, policiesand procedures, to be “moresimple and efficient for cur-rent and potential businessesto use.”

Webster said 417,393 uniquevisitors came to the BooneCounty website in 2013, fol-lowed by 481,710 unique visi-tors in 2014.

ties considering right-to-work laws, and mycheck-mychoice.org is a 501c3organization to providegrassroots support foremployees.

“The legislation hasonly been challenged inone county, Hardin (Coun-ty), and that’s likely allwe’ll get,” said Yessin.“We believe that all thecounties in Northern Ken-tucky are aggressivelycourting economic devel-opment and this is a toolthey all want. They’ve allexpressed interest in de-veloping this legislation.Since the state hasn’tpassed right-to-work leg-islation, the answer is leftto the county to do whatthe state should havedone.”

Kentucky Sen. JohnSchickel, R-Union, whosponsored state right-to-work legislation, said he’sproud Boone County istaking the lead on the is-sue.

“I think it’s a greatthing what the BooneCounty Fiscal Court is do-ing,” he said. “This wouldcreate an economic incen-tive, obviously, for North-ern Kentucky. This legis-lation is desperately need-ed. Areas where right-to-work legislation has beenpassed have lower unem-ployment and a bettereconomy.”

Schickel does think thelegislation will be op-posed.

“I’m sure it will be liti-gated, but I think the Fis-cal Court is doing theright thing to pass an ordi-nance,” he said.

tention of providing morethan material support forthose in need.

“We want to shareGod’s love in a tangibleway, regardless of theirwalk of life and whatthey’re dealing with,” saidChris Caddell. “For allthese years, we have pro-vided food, householdgoods, financial supportand understanding forpeople in a non-denomina-tional way, and we’vedone it with volunteerstaff.”

He said the organiza-tion’s overhead costs arelow, due to donations, andtheir expenses are mini-mal, for printing forms,driving delivery trucksand providing food for thegrowing numbers of peo-ple they serve.

“We might hear a lotabout the economy turn-ing around, but we arestill having several peoplecoming in for the firsttime, and even more whocontinue to come back forhelp,” he said. “While weserve a percentage ofhomeless and displacedpeople, the majority ofpeople we serve are thethe working poor whocan’t make ends meet.We’ve seen an increase ofabout 20 percent, yearover year.”

Chris Caddell saidslightly fewer than 8,000families, or 34,000 indi-viduals, were served byLifeline Ministries in2014. During the past 10years, they have helpedmore than 300,000 people.

The Keebler Co. could bring75 full-time jobs to Kentucky res-idents with an coming expansionin Boone County.

Boone County Fiscal Courtwill hear an ordinance Tuesdaythat would give Keebler a payrolltax incentive based on job cre-ation from capital investments atits manufacturing plant at 500Weaver Road, in unincorporatedBoone County.

The snack company is plan-ning to spend about $19,150,000,including new equipment, to add

a production line to its BooneCounty plant.

“They’ve been here for yearsand years, and they’ve decided toexpand,” said Boone CountyJudge-executive Gary Moore.

The facility has been operat-ing in Boone County since 1969,and Keebler purchased it 1989.

It became part of the KelloggCo. in 2001.

Kris Charles, Kellogg Co.spokeswoman, said the companyis working to ensure it has theright production capacity in theright locations to meet customerneeds and, as a result of a 2014consolidation of its U.S. cookienetwork, added a line of produc-tion capacity at its snacks plantin Boone County.

Tri-ED, the Northern Ken-tucky economic developmentcorporation, is helping facilitatethe local and state incentives for

the project and will present theproposal at the Boone FiscalCourt meeting, said Dan To-bergte, president and CEO of Tri-ED.

Preliminary plans have beenapproved, according to paper-work filed with the KentuckyCabinet for Economic Develop-ment.

Moore agreed on April 24 tosupport a county payroll tax in-centive of 0.4 percent credit onthe wages of new Keebler em-ployees for 10 years.

Likewise, the Kentucky Eco-nomic Finance Authority preli-minarily approved on April 24 a1.5 percent rate on state personalincome tax credit for the compa-ny, under the Kentucky BusinessInvestment program.

The Keebler Co. jobs are esti-mated provide an annual salaryof $56,160 each – with benefits in-

cluded in the salary figure, ac-cording to the state and local en-tities.

If the payroll tax incentivesare approved, the Keebler Co.will regain the agreed-upon pay-roll tax money, which otherwisewould’ve gone to the state andBoone County for the 10-year pe-riod, said Joe Hall, spokesmanfor the Kentucky Cabinet forEconomic Development.

He said such incentives areonly carried through if the busi-ness meets its hiring targets.

Moore said the deal is good forBoone County residents. It’s notonly an economic developmentenhancement for the county, hesaid, but the incentive is given af-ter jobs are created, meaning nomoney is provided up front.

The Boone County FiscalCourt meeting is set to begin at5:30 p.m. Tuesday.

UNION — Werewolves,murders, battlefield com-bat and King Arthur’squests are only part ofwhat can happen duringJim Helton’s weeklygame night.

Helton and his wife,Chrissy, started a nonreli-

gious political activismgroup, Tri-State Free-thinkers, to participate inprotests and regional vol-unteer opportunities. Agroup member, Chris Ol-ton, thought bringing thegroup members togetherfor games would be fun.

“I always have a trunkfull of games,” said Olton.“We started getting to-

gether for games twoyears ago, maybe three orfour of us, and now it’srunning between 20 and40 people a week. It’s justreally good to have this so-cial time together.”

Despite the threat ofsnow and icy roads, near-ly 30 people came to Hel-ton’s home on a recent Fri-day night. They playedthree rounds of UltimateWerewolf, a card-basedgame that assigns roles toeach player. The gamecan accommodate up to100 people. Group mem-bers also played CardsAgainst Humanity, Sum-moner Wars, Daybreakand Avalon, and theysnacked and talked be-

tween games. Details are available

through the Tri-StateFreethinkers website,Facebook page or on Mee-tup.com.

Most nights are family-friendly, but Helton saidsome nights includegames for adults only.

Helton hosts the eventsfor the group to build asense of community, butit’s also easy for membersto invite new people.

“We want people toknow they’re not alone.There are a ton of peoplelike us out there, many ofwhom may be too afraid tocome out and say any-thing,” Helton said.“Spending this time to-

gether is important,though. The social aspecthas increased our activ-ism tenfold. We didn’treally get to know eachother until we startedgame night.”

Rachel Adams of Cin-cinnati started coming toplay games, but then shelearned about the Tri-State Freethinkers, andgot involved with that aswell.

“People who are simi-lar to myself are hard tofind,” she said. “I like feel-ing I’m with people whohave the same values. It’sa sense of camaraderie. Ilanded in the best possibleplace.”

Adams said before shefound this group, shedidn’t know any atheistgroups were in the Cincin-nati area.

Helton said anyone isinvited to come; peoplewith any religions, beliefsor the absence of thesame, are welcomed.

“We focus on what weagree on, not what wedon’t. We don’t all agreeon anything, and we don’tworry about if we offendsomeone. Sometimes thathappens, and we agree todisagree,” said Helton. “Alot of people say youshouldn’t talk about sex,politics or religion, butwhat’s more importantthan that? That’s whywe’re going to talk aboutit.”

“It’s an extremely wel-coming group,” said Na-than Corley of Dayton.“Everybody here is fromall different types ofbackgrounds, but itbrings a real sense ofcommunity.”

When I woke up this morning, 5more inches of snow had fallen,making a total of 11 inches in 48

hours.It had piled up at

the base of the kitch-en door again so Ihad to literally shovethe door open to letmyself out. The tem-perature gauge read9 below, so I knew itwas a perfect day forhomemade beefstew: Mary Helen’sclassic beef stew.

Mary Helen was my best friendCarol Spry Vanover’s mom. Whenwe were kids, Carol loved to eat at

my house since there were somany of us and mom would serveher Lebanese food straight fromthe cast iron pot.

Conversely, I enjoyed going toCarol’s house since the food waspresented elegantly at the tablewith cloth napkins and so muchsilverware I didn’t know what forkto pick up when. Carol’s mom wasthe most gourmet cook around.

Little did I know that one of herbest creations, like this stew, wasquicker and easier than some ofmy mom’s Lebanese offerings.

Indoor plant bonus: Naturalhumidifiers

I over winter some tender herbsnear my houseplants.

I’ve learned that indoor plantsnot only help put oxygen in the airduring the day, they help humidifyindoor air since plants releasemoisture through their leaves.

Houseplants also emit sub-stances that suppress mold sporesand bacteria.

Can you help?Gotta get Goetta! Will you share

your favorite goetta recipes for anupcoming column?

Snowy days perfect for beef stew

THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

A classic beef stew is perfect for a frigid day.

Rita HeikenfeldRITA’S KITCHEN

Mary Helen’s classic French beef oven stew

Even though I’ve made numerous versions of classic beefstew that were delicious, none were as quick as this and really,the taste of this stew is outstanding.

Here’s the recipe with my adaptations. I used my Le Creu-set enameled cast iron pot.

Just make sure your pot and lid are ovenproof.

2 pounds beef, cut in 1-1/2-inch cubes (I used a generous 2pounds and bought stew beef already cut up)

2 medium onions, chopped, about 3 cups1 large clove garlic, minced – my addition which is

optional (Mary Helen did not add garlic)3 ribs celery, cut up4 medium carrots cut crosswise and then lengthwise1-1/4 cups tomato juice (I didn’t have any so used one can

beef broth mixed with 1 generous tablespoon tomatopaste)

1/3 cup quick/instant cooking tapiocaSalt and pepper to taste1/2 teaspoon dried basil2 medium red potatoes, chunked up (I used 3 Yukon

gold)

Preheat oven to 300-325. Pour a thin film of oil in bottomof pot. Put beef in and then everything else except potatoes.Give it a stir. Cover and cook a total of 3-3/12 hours, until meatis tender but remember to add potatoes during last hour ofcooking. (I forgot to add potatoes so cooked them separatelyand added to stew after it was done.) Good with mashedpotatoes, too. If stew is too thick, add a bit of hot water.

Tip from Rita: Stir some frozen, thawed peas in at theend.

To cook in crockpot: 8-12 hours on low, 4-6 on high.Add potatoes at beginning of cooking time.

Soothing lemon tea

Good for sore throats and colds or anytime you need apick-me-up. Lemons are anti-viral, anti-bacterial and loadedwith vitamin C for immune system health. Honey is a tradi-tional remedy for sore throats.

Stir together:

Juice of 1 lemon1 cup of very warm waterHoney to taste

Tip: Freeze lemons/limes whole.Just thaw, and you’ll get lots of juice.

A publication of

Takes a real man toadmit he was wrong

It takes a real man to admitthat he was wrong in practicallyany decision, and State SenatorJohn Schickel made it clear inhis article in the Recorder lastweek that he made the wrongdecision.

To admit his mistake on pub-lic record of making the wrongdecision on a heroin vote in 2011on the floor of the Senate tookcourage and character.

Heroin is a terrifying drugthat kills like no other drug.

The dealers that prey on ouryouth by getting them hookedfor as little as $5, only to padtheir pockets, have no con-science.

Senate Bill 5 will help slamthe jail doors shut on these low-life predators!

Stay the course, SenatorSchickel, you are on the rightpath.

Apologies accepted, yourhonesty, your reward.

Keep children safe fromsecondhand smoke

All parents want to keeptheir children safe and healthy.Parents, like me, whose chil-dren have asthma, often have totake extra steps to make sureour children have clean air tobreathe.

Exposure to secondhandsmoke can trigger asthma at-tacks in children.

While I can protect my childat home, it is often difficult tofind smoke-free places in Ken-tucky.

Why should our kids go toplaces where they have tobreathe toxic chemicals?

Asmoke-free law can changethat: In Lexington, there was a22 percent decline in emergen-cy department visits for asthmain the 32 months after thesmoke-free law was enacted.

We need to recognize thebenefits that being smoke-freeoffer all children in Kentucky.Our kids deserve it!

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONWhat is your ideal place or wayto escape the winter weather?

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

We often form impressionsof our 19th century ancestorsfrom their portraits, whichtypically show unsmilingindividuals posing stiffly indark clothes. We know thesepeople married and had chil-dren (often quite a few ofthem), but we struggle toimagine them carrying onromantic relationships.

But, romance was nothingnew for our Georgian Eraancestors. The association ofValentine’s Day with romanticlove dates back to Chaucer’sEngland of the late-14th centu-ry and exchanging Valentine’sDay cards was popular in 19thcentury America.

The world portrayed inpopular Regency Romancenovels seems far removedfrom places like rural Bur-lington, Kentucky. And yet,letters written by ErastusTousey to his wife Catherinein the 1820s and 1830s revealthat romance was alive andwell here, at least betweenthis couple. Erastus Touseywas born in 1798 and marriedCatherine McHenry (born1805) in 1821. They raised fourchildren in their brick homeon Jefferson Street in Bur-lington and, while Erastusappears to have traveled ex-tensively, his letters homewere poignant.

In July, 1826, Erastus wrotefrom the deck of the Steam-boat Phoebus, describing afarm that reminded him of theday in January 1820 when heproposed to Catherine, “theday … was one in which Ispent the time with inexpress-ible pleasure, the mind con-stantly engaged in prying into

the inmostrecess of yourdisposition …watching yourevery changeof counte-nance, ofaction, orexpression.”

Apologiz-ing for hisforwardnesshe continues“but I cannot

help expressing the innocentfeelings I felt at that time;there was something so good,so pleasant, so agreeable and… so heavenly in your counte-nance that I would be willingto give half my annual incomefor an annual view of thesame kind.”

Writing to Catherine fromPhiladelphia in February, 1831,Erastus again refers to the“many pleasant hours spenttogether at the farm and …our walk in the orchard”where she accepted his pro-posal. Weary of travel, he“long[ed] for the time whencircumstances will permit meto remain at that most endear-ing place called home, which Iunderstand to be with wife,children and friends.”

Writing from New YorkCity in March 1834, Erastustouched on details of his tripthrough Pittsburgh and Phila-delphia, where he traveled “35miles on the railroad in 2 ¼hours … a little faster than Ilike.” He eagerly looked for-ward to hearing from Cather-ine, saying:

“O dear and affectionatecompanion what is it thatrenders life desirable but

Love? Blow out all interestand feelings of that kind andall happiness is gone. I am ledto these remarks from reflect-ing upon the enjoyments Ihave experienced in knowingthe deep love and interest Ihave in your affections assuch as you have in mine. Ican see now the mild and ex-pressive glance of affection sooften cast upon me. I can nowfeel the blood thrillingthrough my veins at the touchand gentle pressure of myhand in yours ... I can seeevery innocent smile of for-mer days which are nowbrought forward … Nothingbut great affection for youcould bring these things soplainly to view.”

These surviving letters areonly three from what wasprobably a long string of writ-ten correspondence betweenthe couple prior to Erastus’death in 1863. Catherine out-lived her husband of 40-plusyears by another three dec-ades, dying in 1895 the daybefore her 90th birthday. Shenever remarried. These valen-tines rest eternally togetherside-by-side in the Old Bur-lington Cemetery.

When you donate a part ofyour state tax refund to theFarms to Food Banks TrustFund, you’re helping Ken-tuckians in unfortunate cir-cumstances – some of themyour friends and neighbors –gain access to fresh, nutri-tious, local foods. You’re alsohelping Kentucky farmersmake a living. It’s good foreconomic development, andit’s consistent with Kentuckyvalues of compassion andgenerosity.

A nonprofit that benefitsfrom the trust fund, the Ken-tucky Association of FoodBanks’ Farms to Food Banksprogram, pays farmers forproduce that retailers don’twant because of minor blem-ishes or size discrepanciesand distributes it to low-in-come Kentuckians to serve totheir families. Farmers areable to generate revenue forproduct they would not havebeen able to sell otherwise,and healthy food is consumedrather than being plowedunder in the field.

The Farms to Food Banksprogram received a grant of$41,433 from the KentuckyDepartment of Agriculture in2014 thanks to donations fromindividuals who designated aportion of their state incometax refund to the Farms toFood Banks Trust Fund.

In 2014, 373 Kentuckyfarmers from 66 countieswere paid an average of$1,450 for the produce theyprovided to the KAFB’s

Farms toFood Banksprogram.More than 3millionpounds ofKentucky-grown fruitsand vegeta-bles weredistributed toour hungryneighbors inall 120 coun-

ties rather than going towaste in the field. That is theequivalent of filling half aplate full of fruits and vegeta-bles for 4.8 million meals. Formore information about theKentucky Association ofFood Banks and its Farms toFood Banks program, go towww.kafb.org.

In Kentucky, 1 in 6 of ourneighbors – including nearly1 in 4 children – is food in-secure, which means theylack consistent access toenough nutritious food for anactive, healthy life. In a statewith abundant natural re-sources, a strong agricultureindustry, and a rich food his-tory, no one should go to bedhungry. As we commemorateFarms to Food Banks Month,I hope all Kentuckians willjoin me in donating a portionof your state tax refund to theFarms to Food Banks TrustFund.

When it comes to applyingfor outside college scholarships,February through June are stillgreat months for seniors to findopportunities. An outside schol-arship is any scholarship notawarded by the government orthe school, such as a scholarshipprovided by a private sectorcompany, philanthropist orfoundation.

But in order to have anychance of receiving any of thesefree dollars, a student mustknow: when to take action, whatit takes to qualify, and where tolook. When should a studenttake action? For seniors theanswer is now because time isof the essence. Spring break isjust around the corner and be-fore you know it, GraduationDay will be here. If a student ishoping to put any outside schol-

arship dollarson the table,then she or hemust completetheir applica-tions and geteverythingsubmittedASAP. Everystudent, re-gardless ofgrade level orage, shouldlook for outside

college scholarships to helpreduce the cost of college. It’snever too early to start yoursearch.

What does it take to qualifyfor these outside scholarships?The answer depends on whatthe donor is looking for in awinner: maybe it’s financialneed, academic success, a spe-

cial talent, a hook, great athlete,terrific essay writer, etc. If youhave what they are looking forthen let the fun of applying forscholarships begin. You may besurprised by the number ofunique outside scholarshipopportunities that exist so donot give up easily.

Where do you find outsidecollege scholarships? The an-swer might be as close as yourown parents. Ask them if theircompany gives out a schol-arship, check with your churchor club, maybe the companywith which you have a part-timejob gives out a scholarship(Chick-fil-A and Sonic come tomind). Many high school guid-ance counselors list scholarshipopportunities on their schoolwebsite. In addition, there are anumber of other great schol-arship search engines. Here area few of my favorites:fastweb.com,scholarshipexperts.com,tuitionfundingsources.com, andcappex.com.

Bottom-line: In order to getany scholarship dollars, stu-dents must meet the requiredcriteria and be willing to takeaction. Why not consider this apart-time job? Make searchingfor and submitting scholarshipapplications a part of yourweekly routine. And who knows,your hard work could pay off ina big way. Best of luck!

The 56 Northern Kentuckywrestlers who qualified for theKHSAA state championshipsare now experiencing their ownversion of “bowl season” in col-lege football.

On the gridiron, footballteams don’t play for a month be-fore their postseason contestkicks off over the holidays. Lo-cal grapplers are now facing 24days between competitivematches after the KHSAA statemeet was postponed to March10-11.

“I’ve thought about it thatway,” said Newport head coachTim Mosley of the bowl analogy.“My guys are mentally tough.They face a lot of adversity andthis is another thing to adapt toand overcome. It’s just moretime to make us better. Theyhave a good attitude about it.”

The meet was originallyscheduled for Friday and Satur-day, Feb. 20 and 21, at AlltechArena in Lexington’s KentuckyHorse Park. The nasty winterweather that has enveloped thewhole state – with many dis-tricts canceling classes for theentire week as a result – causedthe KHSAA to announce themeet’s postponement onWednesday.

The KHSAA said March 10-11, a Tuesday and Wednesday,were the earliest dates avail-able at Alltech Arena, which hasother events scheduled the fol-lowing two weekends. The are-na also hosts the Kentucky stateyouth wrestling championshipson Sunday, an event run by theKentucky State Wrestling Asso-ciation and not the KHSAA.

The event is in Alltech Arenapartly because its floor surfacecan comfortably hold eightmatches at once, where its for-mer home of the Frankfort Con-vention Center could only fitsix. When the meet was inFrankfort, it was a three-dayevent.

“KHSAA state events arelarge-scale undertakings, andwith the expansion of the statetournament several years ago,we are very limited in optionsfor holding the event,” saidCommissioner Julian Tackett ina release. “We absolutely haveto be able to put down at leasteight mats to get the tourna-ment completed in two days,and that in and of itself limitsour options. We tried to work co-operatively with another eventthat is scheduled for Sundayand rearrange schedules, but

that group was unwilling tomove, leaving us very few op-tions.”

The delay has its pluses andminuses for area coaches. Likecollege football teams who get afew extra weeks of practice,Mosley’s Wildcats, who have aschool-record six state qualifi-ers, are relishing the new oppor-tunity to work on their craft.

“It’s not going to affectmuch,” Mosley said. “We’re go-ing to stay hard-nosed in thepractice room and keep work-ing hard. We’ll have an opportu-nity to focus on ourselves andsee what our strengths are.We’ll be able to take a close lookat the brackets and be able tostudy some of the guys we’refacing.”

Unlike college football play-ers, though, many wrestlershave other sports to look for-ward to as spring practice iswell underway. Many track,tennis and baseball teams arehaving tryouts next week andthe seasons are right around thecorner, with the first date forregular-season baseball gamesMarch 11, the same day as thestate wrestling finals.

Wrestlers who haven’t qual-ified for state are allowed topractice with those who did, butmany of them will be preparingfor the new season as well.

“There are a lot of thingsplaying into this whole thing,”Cooper head coach Michael Fla-herty said. “They’re used towrestling a Wednesday-Satur-day and they’re not going tohave the opportunity to wrestleanybody but themselves. Wehave seven guys going and acouple of alternates but it willhurt the schools that might onlyhave one or two kids wrestlingwith each other and they’respread out from each other inweight class.”

Attendance is likely to dipwith the tourney on weekdaysas well, reducing the number ofneutral wrestling fans whocould make the trip.

Flaherty said the mental as-pect may be a tougher factorthese next few weeks than thephysical challenge of stayingwithin the proper weight, whichwrestlers are used to doing.

Cooper having seven qualifi-ers is a team record. CampbellCounty has the most local quali-fiers with 10, and Ryle has eight.Newport’s six is fourth-highestlocally. Scott and Walton-Vero-na have five, Dixie Heights andSimon Kenton four. Conner hasthree, Boone County andHolmes have two.

ERLANGER — With all thewinter wackiness of the week.Connor Kunstek and the otherseniors on the St. Henry Dis-trict High School boys basket-ball team were just happy to getone last regular-season gamein.

Kunstek and the Crusadersmade the most of it, winning atHoly Cross 77-60 Feb. 20 andspoiling the Indians’ seniornight. Holy Cross paid tributeto the Crusader seniors beforethe game as well.

“It was a big win for us, espe-cially being their senior night,”Kunstek said. “I’m really gladhow we performed.”

St. Henry won its 18th gameand entered the 34th DistrictTournament with an 18-11 rec-ord. The Crusaders prepared toface Lloyd in the semifinalsFeb. 24, with the winner ad-vancing to the district finals8:15 p.m. Friday at Villa Madon-na. The winner of St. Henry/Lloyd also advances to theNinth Region tournament.

“They all get along. Theyplay well together. They’revery unselfish on the floor,” St.Henry head coach David Faustsaid. “It took us a while butwe’re finally getting going.”

St. Henry has seven seniorsoverall but many of them havebeen battling injuries. GuardEvan Lyons is out for the rest ofthe season and guard LoganKenney may return for the dis-

trict tournament. They are thetop two point guards on the ros-ter and senior guard NathanMyers is also banged up head-ing into postseason.

“We played well (against Ho-ly Cross),” said Faust. “It’s notan easy place to play. We strug-gled with them the first time.We were patient on offense.”

Kunstek scored 12 of hisgame-high 22 points in the firstquarter, which ended with St.Henry up 26-17. A tall, stockyinside presence, Kunstek con-trolled the paint for the team.

“There was a lot of stuff go-ing on (with senior night),” hesaid. “It’s all about staying fo-cused and keeping your head inthe game.”

Kunstek has done that allyear.

“He gives us an inside pres-ence,” Faust said. “He’s a loadin there. He’s awfully strong.He’s hard to handle. The goodthing about Connor is that hecan also step out and shoot fromthe outside.”

Kunstek and junior guardAdam Goetz, who had 20 pointsagainst Holy Cross, are return-ing starters for the Crusaders,and senior forward Paul Greencame off the bench last year.The rest of the rotation is newvarsity contributors this sea-son.

“We’re all good friends onand off the court. We have eachother’s backs,” Kunstek said.“We just have to stay healthyand stay focused.”

The Boone CountyHigh School swimmingand diving program isreaching new levels thismonth with several quali-fiers to the state meet,which is Feb. 26-28 at theUniversity of Louisville.

Boone County has qual-ified two boys relays. Ju-nior Zach Molina, sopho-more Nick Berry andfreshmen Robby Winter-man and Adam Personsqualified in the 200 and400 freestyle relays. Ber-ry has also qualified intwo individual events (the100 freestyle and the 100breaststroke) and fresh-man Sean Courtney hasqualified in the diving.

It is the first timeBoone has had boys relaysadvance to the state meet.It is the first time since2006 that Boone has had arelay advance to state,and the first time since2005 that Boone has had a

male swimmer advance tostate.

“A lot of it is very sur-prising” head coachLance Melching said.“We’ve set a really ambi-tious goal and I wasn’tsure we could achieve it.But the way the boysswam at regionals andhow they dropped theirtimes was incredible.These guys were swim-ming for their lives. To dothat back-to-back days isamazing.”

Some statistics provid-ed from Melching:

» Nick Berry was lessthan a half second offfrom breaking Zane Row-land’s school record in the100 freestyle (50.22 from2005) at the Region 4championship. He’ll haveanother chance to breakthe record at the statemeet.

Berry already has hisname on all but threeswimming records (Row-land’s 100 and 50 free rec-ords and teammate Robby

Winterman’s 100 back-stroke record). Berryswims for the NorthernKentucky Clippers. Theother three members ofthe relay do not swim for aclub team and receivedtheir introduction toswimming when theycame out to compete forthe Boone team.

recently at the regionalprelim.

» The coaches’ planwas to stack the boys 200medley and 200 freestylerelays, but the boys brokethe school record in the400 free relay so convinc-ingly at the Scott GoldMedal Meet, that the Re-bels decided to try the 400instead of the medley atprelims. The boys shaved10 seconds from theirschool record time overtwo days at the Region 4Championship.

» The Rebels boysteam equaled their bestfinish at the region inschool history (sixth in2012).

“These guys have onething in common is thatthey don’t seem to knowwhat their limits shouldbe,” Melching said. “Theypush themselves so hard.Adam Persons had to bedrug out of the pool be-cause he pushed himselfso hard.”

Rebels makingwaves in pool

Thomas More Col-lege ended three weeksof uncertainty this weekwhen it named RegisScafe the fifth headcoach in program histo-ry.

“Being without a headcoach was a weird feel-ing,” said junior defen-sive lineman Erick But-ler. “We’re ready to getback to work.”

When Jim Hilvert re-signed on Jan. 28 to takethe head coaching job atLa Salle High School, theSaints players werecaught off guard. Theyunderstood Hilvert’smotivations and werehappy for his family-based decision, but hadto reevaluate the direc-tion of their program.

“It was definitelyhard. Coach Hilvert isthe biggest reason mostof us are at ThomasMore,” said junior quar-terback Jensen Geb-hardt. “Once he left, ourplayers stepped up tokeep our team focusedand motivated.”

Scafe is an accom-plished head coach, bestknown for his 14 seasonsas head coach at JohnCarroll University,where he posted an 88-56record. Prior to leadingthe Blue Streaks, Scafespent five seasons ashead coach at Case West-ern Reserve, his almamater. He understandsthat he has big shoes tofill, as Hilvert led Thom-as More to a 67-19 markand six conferencechampionships in eightseasons in CrestviewHills.

“It is kind of a uniquesituation that happened.It’s a very rare opportu-nity to take over a pro-gram like this. It is not arebuilding project,”Scafe said. “I wasn’treally looking to jumpback in. It would have tobe a really good fit,which Thomas More is.”

The Cleveland nativedid not leave JCU on hisown terms. He spent aseason coaching line-backers at Division IINotre Dame College,then spent last yearworking with the Inter-national Federation ofAmerican Football de-velopment camp in Ar-lington, Texas. The pasttwo years, after his oust-er at John Carroll, gaveScafe new perspective.

“Sometimes you step

back and you see thingsdifferently. I feel re-en-ergized and excited,”Scafe said. “I feel likeI’ve got some unfinishedbusiness.”

That includes a re-turn to the Division IIIplayoffs, where theSaints have not beensince 2011 and Scafe hasnot appeared since 2002.Scafe met with ThomasMore players during theinterview process andreciprocated their en-thusiasm. While theplayers were not direct-ly involved in the hiringdecision, they are happywith the administra-tion’s choice.

“He was extremelypersonable. He reallywanted to get to know usas people,” Butler said.“He showed us that hecares about his players,which is somethingCoach Hilvert did andsomething that reallymeans a lot to us.”

Thomas More alumniwill hold a welcome re-ception for Scafe on Feb.27 following the wom-en’s basketball game.During the next week,Scafe will meet with theSaints assistant coachesand hopes to keep thestaff intact. He does notplan on making anywholesale changes, andlikes the foundation thathe inherits.

“I like to empower myassistant coaches, and Ihope they stick around. Ijust want to tinker andmake use of ourstrengths,” Scafe said.“Thomas More has agreat winning tradition.There are high expecta-tions within the pro-gram, the athletic de-partment, and on cam-pus.”

The suddenly tumul-tuous offseason is final-ly over. The players whocame to Thomas More towin championships withHilvert found a silverlining in losing one suc-cessful coach and gain-ing another. During thelengthy coachingsearch, they held play-ers-only meetings andopenly discussed whatthey want in a new coachwho can push them to getto the next level.

“In this process, Ithink we came closer to-gether as a team,” Butlersaid.

“This takes a burdenoff everyone’s shoul-ders,” Gebhardt said.“Everyone is pretty ex-cited.”

Antoinette Dick’sbook about sisterpublished

“My Sister France: AnAfrican Teardrop” byWalton resident Antoi-nette Dick has been pub-lished.

The book, available atMicroPressBooks(micropressbooks.com)in Bellevue, deals withher sister’s career in lawenforcement at a time ofpolitical change and expe-rience with cancer.

Antoinette Dick (neeFourie) was born in Nigel,Transvaal, Republic ofSouth Africa in 1947 whileher father was stationedwith the South African AirForce at the nearby Dun-nottar Air Base.

The second of fourchildren, while still of atender age her familymoved to what was thenSouthern Rhodesia, latercalled Rhodesia after thebreak-up of The Federa-tion of Rhodesia and Ny-asaland, now called Zim-babwe.

They settled in QueQue, now renamedKweKwe since RobertGabriel Mugabe took overthe country in 1980.

In 1974 Antoinette hadleft for Dallas, Texas,where she attendedChrist for the Nations Bi-ble Institute, graduatingin May 1976. That is alsowhere she met and mar-ried her American hus-band Ronald Dick, a Viet-nam veteran with the 173rd

Airborne in May 1976 justafter he too graduated.

Antoinette had been in-volved with the Armychaplaincy in the capital,Salisbury, (now Harare)before attending Bible

school, and on her returnto Rhodesia simply pickedup where she’d left off.

Ron and Antoinette re-turned together to Rhode-sia in October 1977 andtheir daughter Tirzah wasborn there in August 1978.

While in Africa, theyserved as missionaries inSalisbury and Karoi for 23years before returning toKentucky in May 2000and where they live now.

In her book, Antoinettewrites about her sister,

France Fourie. She had abattle with cancer, andwas making great pro-gress until under Mu-gabe's government's law-lessness and crime in-creased, she was attackedin her home one night bythugs who broke into heralready fortified apart-ment.

She went through ev-erything with such forti-

tude, setting such an ex-ample of grace and cour-age and died of the cancer,Antoinette said.

Yogurt has beenaround for centuries.Experts believe it wasdiscovered when milkstored in animal skinscoagulated and becameacidic over time. Thismade it last longer andhave a pleasing flavor.

In 2011, about 4.3 bil-lion pounds of yogurtwas produced in theUnited States. Productionincreased to 4.7 billionpounds in 2013 due to ahigher demand. Thedemand for Greek yogurtalone has increased morethan 2,500 percent since2009.

Greek yogurt can behealthy. But, like all oth-er yogurt and foodchoices, additives canadd to the calorie counts.Flavored Greek yogurtsmay contain a lot of add-ed sugars. On the labelslook for not only honeyand sugar but also evap-orated cane juice, grapejuice concentrate, andother forms of addedsugars.

Regular yogurt prod-

ucts areregulatedby the U.S.Food andDrug Ad-minis-tration(FDA).They setspecificstandardsfor theingredi-

ents needed to makeyogurt. Greek yogurt,however, is not as strictlyregulated.

Greek yogurt is thick-er than regular yogurt. Itis thickened by strainingor removing the whey, orby adding thickeners.The label will tell ifthickening products likemodified corn starch orguar gum have beenadded.

Greek yogurt usuallyhas more protein perounce than regular yo-gurt. Because of thevarying production meth-ods, the protein contentof Greek yogurt mayvary widely between

brands. Some brands willadd milk protein or wheyconcentrate to improvethe protein content oftheir product.

The amount of calci-um in Greek yogurt mayalso be less than thatfound in regular yogurt.When the whey is re-moved to make the prod-uct thicker, the calciumis also removed. Somemanufacturers will addcalcium back to the fin-ished product.

When shopping foryogurt the choices can beoverwhelming. Takesome time to read andcompare nutrition in-formation and ingredientlists when purchasingGreek and other yogurts.Choose those you enjoythat provide the nutri-tional values you arelooking for.

Question: My orna-mental flowering cherrytree has several black,knotty, swollen “galls”from 1-3 inches in diame-ter, sometimes encirclingthe twigs. These strangegrowths resemble giant,ugly warts that seem to bestrangling the branches.What is the cause and theremedy?

Answer:Black knot is afungus disease, aptlynamed for the conspicu-ous black knotty growthsthat form on branches in-fected with this disease. Itis a problem which mayoccur on American, Japa-nese or European varie-ties of cultivated plumsand prunes; on peachesand cultivated sweet andsour cherries; on orna-mental flowering plumsand cherries, and also onwild plums and cherries inthe woods.

Infection takes place inthe spring but knot devel-opment on twigs andbranches is not evident un-til fall. Initially the irregu-lar swellings or knots are

small andlightbrown.

Oneyear afterinfectionthe enlarg-ing knotsbecome ol-ive greenwith a vel-vety sur-face. As the

season progresses theswellings harden and be-come coal black in color.

By this time the knotshave enlarged considera-bly and may be as long as 6inches. Often only one sideof a limb is affected; how-ever, in some cases thelimbs may become com-pletely encircled. Knotscontinue to expand in thefollowing years until thebranch is girdled and dies.Old knots may becomecovered with a white orpink parasitic mold.

Black knot is caused bythe fungus, Apiosporinamorbosa. Microscopicspores of the fungus aredischarged in the spring

and are spread by windand rain. Infections canoccur in elongating twigtissues from bud break toearly fruit development.

Pruning and sanitationare the primary means ofreducing or eliminatingblack knot problems.Pruning is best accom-plished in the fall or winterwhen the lack of foliagemakes it easier to locatebranches with galls. Cutsshould be made 4 to 8 inch-es below the knot. Surgicalremoval of the black swol-len tissue may be neces-sary if the trunk and largelimbs have become infect-ed.

All diseased woodshould be discarded and/or destroyed. Examine in-fected trees before thebuds open in March orApril, and prune out allnewly formed knots. Theremoval of wild plum andcherry trees in the area ofvaluable cultivated sus-ceptible trees is also ad-vised wherever practical.

Fungicide applicationsmay help, but their effectis limited, especially ifother control measureshave not been used. Limesulfur can be applied as adormant spray in thespring prior to bud swell.A fungicide containing theactive ingredient, Thio-phanate-methyl, should beapplied four times onspecimen trees. Startspraying during Marchdormancy (after pruningout all galls), then do fol-low-up sprays at the pinkbud stage, during bloom,and again three weeks af-ter bloom.
