ALEXANDRIA — Mayor BillRachford started the CityCouncil’s first meeting of 2015by discussing the state of thecity.

Rachford said he ad-dressed the state of the city in2011, after he was first electedas mayor, and decided to doone again because so muchhas changed in the past fouryears.

“It’s beneficial to let thecitizens know what is going onin the city,” he said. “The be-ginning of a new year is agreat time to do it. It’s amaz-ing how fast four years hasgone.”

Rachford said the city hasnearly 8,500 residents, as re-corded in the 2010 census,with an annual budget of ap-proximately $4 million and 36miles of roads within the citylimits. The city also has 26full-time and seven part-timeemployees.

A $1 million road project isplanned to take place in 2015.It will be discussed at a townhall meeting at 7 p.m. March19 in the Alexandria Commu-nity Center.

He described the Arcadiasubdivision as one of the big-gest changes coming to thecity. The 385-acre develop-ment with 1,026 homes couldadd around 4,000 more resi-

dents to the city by the timeit’s complete.

The Baptist Life Communi-ty nursing home should alsobe breaking ground this year.The $40 million multi-storycomplex on 10.5 acres is ex-pected to house more than 200residents and add severaljobs.

“Alexandria is proving it’sa city that is business friendlyand makes things happen,” hesaid.

Rachford said he’s inter-ested in cleaning up the town,including reducing litter andimproving the appearance ofMain Street.

“We do have a litter prob-lem in our city, on our streetsand in our parks,” he said.“Please do not litter in ourcity. Don’t toss it. Can it. Litteraffects all of us.”

He’d also like to see a com-munity development facilityfor younger residents, whichwould allow opportunities foreducational activities andsports in a safe place.

During the meeting, Rach-ford and the six council mem-bers were sworn in and CityAttorney Mike Duncan wentover some of the basic respon-sibilities of the city officials.

The next Alexandria CityCouncil meeting will takeplace on Feb. 5.

COLD SPRING — Providingcomfort to homeless veteransand honoring all military veter-ans is what a group of adult andyouth volunteers work on eachmonth at Disabled AmericanVeterans national headquar-ters.

The DAV Auxiliary groupmeets at 6:30 p.m. monthly oneach third Tuesday inside DAVheadquarters at 3725 Alexan-dria Pike, Cold Spring. Youthand adults, including peoplelooking to build their resumesor fill service hours for schoolor church, are all welcome, saidKimberly Hempleman, auxilia-ry commander, of Fort Thomas.

A junior auxiliary group, ledby Micah Myers, 15, of Califor-nia, was started up in 2014 and isexpanding, Hempleman said.

Helping veterans is the goal,she said.

Myers joined the DAV in No-vember 2013, and shortly after-ward Hempleman asked him tostart a junior auxiliary.

“I am involved in the juniorDAV auxiliary because I be-lieve in the importance of re-membering and honoring thebrave men and women whohave sacrificed so very muchfor my freedom,” Myers said.

Having opportunities tospend time with veterans is partof what Myers said he gets outof being in auxiliary.

“What I give to them does notbegin to measure up with whatthey have given to me,” he said.“I am honored to give back tothem.”

Hempleman said the auxilia-ry helps homeless veterans

identified by DAV staff with fi-nancial donations for assistingindividual veterans. And auxil-iary members donated 75scarves to homeless veteransOct. 10 at Northern KentuckyStand Down inside BellevueVets, she said. Bellevue Vetshosts Stand Down each fall as anawareness campaign abouthomeless veteran issues.

For the homeless, a scarf isan important multipurpose tool,Hempleman said.

“Some of the veterans saidthey will use the scarves for pil-lows,” she said.

For Veterans Day, auxiliarymembers visited with veteransliving at or being cared for atthe VA in Fort Thomas and Cin-cinnati. Auxiliary money alsobought a catered Christmas din-ner for homeless veterans liv-

ing in the 58-bed VA Domicili-ary in Fort Thomas, Hemple-man said.

Next, auxiliary memberswill buy a golf cart for disabledveterans to use to get around atCincinnati Veterans Admini-stration Medical Center, shesaid.

Money was raised at eventsincluding DAV auxiliary groupbooths set up in 2014 at Festivalon the Lake at A.J. Jolly ParkAug. 16 and Merchants & MusicFestival in Fort Thomas Sept.27.

BRIEFLY

ALEXANDRIA — Camp-bell County SchoolsBoard of Education mem-bers are focused on mak-ing sure district budgetsdon’t miss the buses.

Board members andSuperintendent Glen Mil-ler talked Jan. 12 about abudget for the fiscal yearstarting July 1. Miller andboard members ex-pressed a need to buyschool buses to keep thedistrict fleet from agingto a point where service isaffected.

Miller introduced a$40 million draft budgetwith an expected $1 mil-lion state-mandated 2percent wage increaseand one bus purchasecosting about $100,000.

Board members andMiller have until May towork out a tentative bud-get reflecting new staffsalaries and state and fed-eral budget allocations,he said. A final workingbudget will be finished inSeptember reflectingfactors including studentenrollment, Miller said.

State legislation previ-ously approved will gen-erate about $300,000 innew revenue this year tooffset the new $1 millionexpense from the 2 per-cent wage increase, hesaid.

“At this time the dis-trict budget does not in-clude any specific bigticket items budgetedother than one schoolbus,” Miller said.

Miller said he hasmade board membersaware of the need for

more buses.A four-bus purchase

was made in this year’sbudget, but for two yearsprior bus purchases werepulled out of budgets,said board member Kim-ber Fender, of Mel-bourne.

“And now we’re bud-geted for one, but at thatpace we’re soon going tobe really needing to be in-vesting in buses,” Fendersaid.

Miller said between 55and 60 district buses arein regular service. Re-maining buses in the fleetof 75 are used as substi-tutes, he said.

“Those have a life spanof about 12 to 14 years,”Miller said.

Seeking to purchasemore than one new busthis year will be a discus-sion point before the Maytentative budget, he said.

Purchasing four busesa year is where districtbudgeting needs to berealistically, Miller said.

Bus purchases havebeen taken out of the bud-get in previous years forgood reason, but addingbuses is an issue theboard is studying, saidboard member Rich Ma-

son of California.“I think we’re proba-

bly OK right now, but wecan’t continue to reducelike we have in the lastcouple years,” he said.

Miller said the dis-trict’s draft budget isshort about $100,000 in re-quired reserves, butthere is a chance forgrants and other opportu-nities to make up the dif-ference before May.

Reserves from thecurrent year, called a con-tingency by the board,will be used to absorb a$32,000 cut in state SEEK(Support Education Ex-cellence in Kentucky)funding the state has justtold the district about forthe fiscal year endingJune 30, Miller said.

A mid-year cut inSEEK funds is expectednext fiscal year too, hesaid.

“The draft budget wasdeveloped with no newanticipated local, state orfederal revenues or taxesother than SEEK adjust-ments that the legislatorspreviously approved topartially pay for thestate-mandated 2 percentwage increase,” Millersaid.

EDGEWOOD — Northern Ken-tucky soon will get the region’sfirst outpatient clinic offeringnew medical interventions andcounseling to victims of the rag-ing heroin epidemic.

The creation of the clinic atSt. Elizabeth Healthcare is apartnership with the world-re-nowned Hazelden Betty FordFoundation and is seen as a newweapon in the fight against theaddictive power of heroin.

The program combinesmedicine-assisted treatment –including the use of drugs tohelp stabilize addicts – andcounseling that follows the 12-step addiction recovery meth-od.

“I think it’s a huge mile-stone,” said Chuck Washburn,St. Elizabeth’s system directorof behavioral health, who hasheaded the hospital system’s ef-fort to create an outpatient clin-ic for opiate addicts. “But thereare a lot of miles on the road leftto travel.”

Hospital officials hope tohave the clinic up and runningby late spring or early summer.

St. Elizabeth is among thefirst health organizations in theUnited States to partner withHazelden, which is reaching outto address the nationwide pre-scription painkiller and heroincrisis.

The partnership includestraining for St. Elizabeth staffin Hazelden’s ComprehensiveOpioid Response 12, or COR 12program, which combines Ha-zelden’s traditional 12-step re-covery method with medicine-assisted treatment.

“What we’ve done is reallytried to pair scientific evidencewith a holistic approach,” saidJoe Jaksha, the publisher of Ha-zelden Publishing.

That approach includes com-munity education and, for thoseaddicted to prescription pain-killers or heroin, medicine suchas Suboxone and Vivitrol –drugs used to stabilize addicts –with a goal of tapering doses un-til the patient can live in recov-ery drug-free, Jaksha said.

After training is complete,Washburn said, the two organi-zations will maintain a one-yearrelationship in which Hazeldenwill respond to any questionsfrom St. Elizabeth doctors andstaff.

The hospital system’s effortis, in part, an answer to an out-cry from heroin-afflicted fam-ilies in Northern Kentucky, whoin an April letter asked St. Eliza-beth to take the lead in attackingheroin in the region.

“They are taking the steps toensure the wellness of our peo-ple,” said Jason Merrick, chair-man of Northern Kentucky Peo-ple Advocating Recovery. “Ev-ery one of our requests will bemet with this commitment andthe governor’s promise of nal-oxone.”

Treatment for addictsalready ramping up

The plan is beginning to takeshape, with training scheduledfor St. Elizabeth caregivers, in-cluding physicians, behavioralhealth clinicians, nurses andother staff, Washburn said.

This spring, every NorthernKentucky resident will have achance to take part in free edu-cational webinars provided byHazelden and St. Elizabeth.

The organizations will leadfive community sessions,scheduled for April and May, toinform Northern Kentucky res-idents about addiction and bet-ter arm them to prevent pre-scription painkiller and heroinaddiction.

The heroin epidemic took

hold in the nation after a crack-down of the prescription ofpainkillers, or opioids, whichhave the same effect as heroin,an opiate. Kentucky rated sixthin the nation for opioid overdosedeaths in 2011, according to theCenters for Disease Control andPrevention. That’s part of thereason the state was so hard hitwith heroin addiction – a cheap-er, easily accessible substitutefor painkillers.

Physicians already havestarted administering Vivitrolwithin its behavioral healthclinic in Edgewood and at the St.Elizabeth Alcohol and DrugTreatment Center in Falmouth.

St. Elizabeth physician Dr.Jeremy Engel, a public healthactivist at the forefront of theheroin battle, is prescribingSuboxone in a St. Elizabeth pilotprogram.

“You don’t have to wait to goto the addiction clinic,” he said.

The short-term goal, after St.Elizabeth is trained in the Ha-

zelden program, will be to treatmost patients in an outpatientclinic at the Edgewood hospitaland at the St. Elizabeth Alcoholand Drug Treatment Center inFalmouth, Washburn said.

“The long-term goal is to beable to integrate it into primarycare,” Washburn said.

New approach combinesmedicine, counseling

In 2012 Hazelden, knownsince its inception in 1949 for itsabstinence-based approach torecovery, altered its approachafter research showed thatmedicine-assisted treatmentresults in better recovery ratesfor opioid or heroin addicts.

“We must move past stigmaand let evidence-based scienceand compassion guide our re-sponse to this crisis,” said Dr.Marvin D. Seppala, chief medi-cal officer of the Hazelden Bet-ty Ford Foundation, based inMinnesota.

To address the problem of

poor outcomes for opioid ad-dicts, the foundation embarkedon its Comprehensive OpioidResponse 12, or COR 12, pro-gram, combining medicinetreatment and the 12-step re-covery model.

Dr. Adam Bisaga, professorof psychiatry at Columbia Uni-versity Medical Center’s De-partment of Psychiatry Divi-sion on Substance Abuse, saidthe shift toward medicine-as-sisted treatment is essential inaddressing opioid addiction.

“In the last two years, withthe overwhelmingly ineffectiveand even dangerous outcomesof 12-step treatment for opioiddependence, programs like Ha-zelden started developing thenew approach that integrates12-step with medicine-assistedtreatment,” Bisaga said.

“I think this program prom-ises to be a major advance in thefield and will be available tomany patients who are involvedin 12-step recovery.”

The group will meet at 7p.m. Jan. 27 at the Schebenbranch of the Boone Coun-ty Public Library.

According to Dan Bisigfrom College & Beyond,too many scholarships arenot awarded because po-tential recipients are notaware of them.

ians ages 12-18 and is spon-sored by the Florence Ro-tary Club. Meetings are onthe second and fourthTuesday evenings of eachmonth at the Scheben li-brary branch in Union.

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

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

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

larger community of home,church, city and nation.Faith, knowledge and ser-vice are three measures bywhich any Catholic schoolcan and should be judged.The new logo features aswirl of colors interactingaround a cross, which is atthe center of all Catholiceducation. The vibrancy ofthe colors and the move-ment and shadows in thelogo portray the inner-con-nectivity and communitylife that are present in ourCatholic schools.

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

hillside. Itwas filledwith silt soI decidedto emptyit.

No kid-ding, thatbucketwas wayheavierthan itshould

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

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

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

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

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

A publication of

Jan 15 questionSome people have criticized

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

“I thought they canceledbecause the buses can’t start ifit was too cold.”

Dana Edwards

“Quit treating kids like theyare glass statues ... Boonemade the right decision.”

James Bartley

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

Jody Baudendistel Morrison

“That’s why buses areplugged in.”

Brenda Baker

“My daughter attends aschool that doesn’t use busesand we live out of district.They hardly ever have snowdays either. We manage to gether there alive and not frozenevery day.”

Laura Whiting

“I don’t care how cold itgets. Send them to school! Istood out in severe cold, heatand rain.”

Mike Fryman

“Kids do get babied toomuch anymore.”

Leslie Jones

“I think that one day, whenthese kids grow up, they’regoing to be shocked when theirbosses won’t accept ‘It’s toocold’ as an excuse to misswork. Same goes for the snowdays.”

Kelly Cranley Zalla

“If the roads are safe thenthe kids need to be in school.Cold weather should play no

part in closing with heaters onthe bus and at school.”

Terri Due

“I would like to finish up theschool year, so they can enjoythe summer! They don’t needto be home because it’s too coldoutside. They don’t do anythingat home but sit in front of theTV and play video games.”

Erica Schneider

“If there is any question onthe condition of the roads orharmful bitter cold temps,better to use caution and keepour kids safe. If I ever feel it isunsafe for my son, I will nothesitate to keep him home. Ithink Boone County takes theirresponsibility to the students,and employees seriously, and Ithank them for the job they do.I wouldn’t want to be out at 4 to5 a.m. checking road condi-tions.”

Suzy Laughter VanDyke

“Besides most kids wouldwant to be out and about ifclasses were canceled. I knowwe didn’t stay indoors.”

Melissa Bass Thornton

“If school is closed due todangerously low temperaturesmy kids are not outside. Theyknow better. Too cold to go toschool too cold to go outside.Now if school closes becausebuses can’t safely get aroundto pick kids up then yes I allow

my kids to play in the snowwell bundled.”

April Marie Huffman

“I still don’t understand whykids cannot be in school whenit’s cold. I agree little onesshouldn’t be standing outsidefor a long period of time wait-ing on a bus but those kidsshould be driven to school orwait in a car/house until thebus comes.”

Tammy Martin Hancock

“Yea the kids stay home andgo out and play. Or find theirway to the mall. If they wait inthe car until the bus arrives, itwouldn’t be a big deal!”

Dave Spille

“My kids went to schoolunless they ran a fever. Schoolis preparing our children fordealing with life. Bosses aren’tas generous as mothers are. Iguess it comes down to justwhat is important to you. Thatmy kids were as prepared forlife as could be was importantto me. And education is whatdoes that best. Yes, my kids attimes sat in the car at the busstop, and at times I rode themto school. And, yes I workedoutside of the home. Mothershave a way of juggling what-ever we need to and make itwork when we have to. It is oneof those things we mothers dobest.”

Throughout the year, KDVAwill reach out to both women

veterans and the general publicto honor our heroic womenveterans and connect them toveteran benefits and services.

HeatherFrench HenryCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST

In response to the letterfrom Carolyn Prater (View-points, Jan 8), I am also tired ofthe “same old rhetoric” fromthose who continue to “demo-nize” President Obama, andattempt to deceive others intothinking that Obama is respon-sible for all the Republicanlegislative obstructions to anyand all proposals by the presi-dent that would create jobs,and help the country movemore quickly out of the reces-sion.

Her final statement that“This president has thin skinand no sense of humor” is un-true and disrespectful of ourdemocratically elected presi-dent. Her other comments area vain attempt to rewrite histo-ry.

“The majority of people inthis country are suffering”

because of theworldwideeconomic col-lapse thatoccurred onPresidentBush’s watch,which was dueto the U.S.congressionalfailure to prop-erly regulatethe excessesand criminal

activities of the U.S. bankingindustry. Our economic recov-ery has since been seriouslyimpeded by an $18 trillionnational debt. When PresidentBush took office from fiscallyresponsible President Clinton,we had a surplus, not a debt.Bush and the Republican-ledCongress eliminated the sur-plus by giving tax cuts to the

wealthy. The Bush Administra-tion then invented evidencethat Saddam Hussein was re-sponsible for the 9/11 attackand began the debacle of theIraq war, the cost of which wasnot included in the federalbudget, and was paid for “on acredit card” by borrowingmoney largely from China.

I have nothing but praisefor President Obama’s deter-mination to keep up out ofunilateral commitments tofurther unwinnable wars in theMiddle East and Ukraine. Ourmilitary remains the world’sgreatest fighting force, and iswell funded compared to ourcurrent needs for education,infrastructure, health care,and other social service pro-grams to address and elim-inate poverty. We should not beasked to expend our own blood

and treasure for the securityof other countries that do notpay their fair share for theirown defense. Our NATO alliesare spending their resourceson universal health care fortheir citizens and other socialservices instead of nationaldefense. In other conflicts, weare being asked to partner withcorrupt governments thatexploit our generosity to thedetriment of their nationalwelfare.

The cuts made to the mil-itary budget were actuallyrecommended by responsiblemembers of the Defense De-partment in order to decreasewaste and abuse of their mas-sive budget.

Budget cuts were also madein response to the Republican-led 2013 government shutdownthat cost the DOD $600 million

(http://bit.ly/GovtShutdown-DOD).

“Our very rights as citizensof this country are being rap-idly eroded,” not by PresidentObama, but because of theneed for campaign financereform. The Supreme Courtdecision in “Citizens United”has seriously eroded our elec-toral process and converted usinto a plutocracy, i.e., a nationgoverned by the rich. If thereis a “government watch list,” itwas created by the Patriot Actunder the Bush administration,not by Obama.

ALEXANDRIA — The Bishop Bros-sart boys basketball team has alreadyturned the page.

The Mustangs had a heartbreaking67-65 overtime loss to AugustaJan. 17. That denied the Mustangs oneof their goals, the chance to travel toFrankfort and experience a run at theAll “A” Classic championship.

Brossart is now 9-7 for the seasonbut has won six of its last eight over-all, with the two losses each comingby a bucket, including the 10th RegionAll “A” final.

“We’re getting better,” said headcoach Mike Code. “We’ve won six ofour last eight. We’ve made greatstrides. We’ve shot the ball real wellthe last two weeks and we didn’t shootas well (against Augusta). I’m realhappy with how we’ve progressed.”

Senior forward Jonathan Zink had

22 points and eight rebounds in the fi-nal. Junior post player Jackson Craw-ford had 15 points.

Brossart played four games in theAll “A” regional, winning the firstthree by an average of 38 points be-fore facing Augusta.

Zink averaged 16 points and 8.5 re-bounds in the four games. Crawfordhad 20 points and 12 boards in thesemifinals.

“We got contributions from somany different guys,” Code said. “Wehad five different guys in double fig-ures at some point. We had guys comeoff the bench in double figures andother guys did very well in playingtheir roles.”

Zink averages 13 points per gamefor the season. Crawford and seniorwing player Spencer Hackworth av-erage 11 per game. Hackworth is oneof Northern Kentucky’s top 3-pointshooters with 36 makes. Four otherplayers average between five and

eight points.“We have good ball movement,

good possessions,” Code said. “Ourturnovers have been quite low.(Those are) the keys to our programover the last decade or so.”

The Mustangs’ schedule is light,with two games in 14 days before theMustangs host rival Newport CentralCatholic Feb. 5. Brossart will hostScott in a vital 37th District seedinggame Feb. 13. The goal is using extrapractice to get ready for February.

In girls, junior forward EmilySchultz recorded a double-doublewith 20 points and 16 rebounds, lead-ing Bishop Brossart to a 50-44 winover Robertson County in the semifi-nals of the 10th Region All “A” Clas-sic. Junior forward Abby King added16 points for the Mustangs. Brossartlost 52-46 to Bracken County in the fi-nals.

Campbell Countywrestling coach MikeBankemper considers hisCamels a better tourna-ment team than a dualmeet team. But here theyare, back in the KentuckyWrestling Coaches Asso-ciation big-school stateduals tournament, Jan. 31at Union County.

The Camels took therecent state duals qualifi-er in their home gym witha 45-23 win in the finalover second-seeded Ryle.The top-seeded Camelseliminated Simon Ken-ton, 60-14 in the semifi-nals following a 62-6opening-round winagainst Dixie Heights,and repeated as champi-ons.

Campbell County wonbig-school state dualschampionships in 1991,2004 and 2013 and wasrunner-up in 1990, 1998and 2002. Ryle also ad-vanced to the state event,which takes the top twofrom each sectional. TheRaiders were state dualsrunners-up in 2003 and’05. They have never won.

Bankemper is cau-tiously optimistic aboutthe Camels’ chances.Louisville St. Xavier isdefending champion.

“Because of the make-up of our team, we have abetter chance to win thestate tournament than thestate duals tournament,”said Bankemper, who is inhis 33rd year. “But weknow it’s possible that wecan win state duals. We’reone of the top four teamsin the state when we’rehealthy.”

The Camels have an8-2 duals record. Theyrank fourth in the ken-tuckywrestling.comteam duals rankings, andfourth in the team indi-vidual rankings. Theyhave 12 of a possible 14wrestlers ranked in thestate’s top 25, includingAustin Myers, top-ranked at 220 pounds, adivision he has dominat-

ed as the reigning three-time state champion.

Myers, 162-0 in his ca-reer, is looking to becomethe first-ever wrestler towin four straight Ken-tucky state tournamenttitles in the 220-pound di-vision. He won the divi-sion at last week’s Fair-field Invitational and wasnamed most outstandingwrestler. Bankempersaid of the West Virginiarecruit last week, “He’san extremely talentedathlete.”

Including Myers, theCamels have seven top 10wrestlers as of Jan. 14, in-cluding No. 4 Eli Mat-thews at 182 pounds, No. 4Brady Wells at 113, No. 4Bryan Spahr at 138, No. 4Brad Krebs at 126, No. 6Tanner Yenter at 106 andNo. 6 Bryan Holden at132.

The Camels are builtfor now and for later.Among those who are orhave been recently state-ranked, three are seniors,Matthews, Myers andAlex Kaufman, (185pounds). Five are sopho-mores, including Wells,Yenter, Holden, HunterParnell (160 pounds), andCollin Barrett, No. 14 at120 pounds. Junior TreyDownton is ranked No. 20at 170 pounds, Jared Stad-miller is ranked No. 20 at160 lbs. and Brett Grazia-ni is 11th at 195.

Yenter, Wells, Krebsand Myers won weight-division championshipsat the Northern KentuckyAthletic Conference tour-nament, where the Cam-els won their eighth titlein a row. The Camels wonthe Franklin Tournamentin December.

FOR THE ENQUIRER

Campbell County’s Brad Krebs, who is ranked No. 7 in thestate at the 126-pound class, goes on the offensive againstIsaac Shalash of Amelia during a recent match.

The 2005 Class Astate champion-ship season for

Newport Central Catho-lic was a year of mile-stones with a footballteam full of record-breakers that wascoached by a man who’sbecome a Northern Ken-tucky legend.

“We were feelingpretty good about our-selves,” said BobSchneider, the Thor-oughbreds’ head coachfrom 1966 through 2009.His son, Dave Schneider,was offensive coordina-tor. “That was a specialyear for all of us. Wereally came together asa team, and it started uson a strong run we beganin the middle of the dec-ade.”

The Thoroughbredsfinished 13-2 and wontheir first state title in 21years, beating Mayfield42-7 in a final played in asteady rain at PapaJohn’s Cardinal Stadiumin Louisville. It was thefirst of four state crownsin an eight-year span forNewCath. A total of 22team and individual rec-ords for a career, singleseason and single gameset that year still stand.

“It was a majorachievement not onlyfor the football team, butfor our school,” saidZack Kiernan, a 6-foot-6,245-pound junior line-man that season. “Thebest thing was a lot of myfriends were out there

with me.”Kiernan also played

on the 2006 NewCathstate championshipteam before heading toLouisville. He’s now apersonal trainer livingin Cincinnati. Thecrowning achievementin 2005 came after a pre-monition experiencedby senior quarterbackSam Diehl, who went onto Georgetown Collegeafter establishing eightschool passing recordshis final year, includingsingle-season passingyards and touchdownsand career passingyards and touchdowns.

“Sammy told me hehad a dream. He said hewoke up, and we hadwon,” said Bob Schneid-er, in his 40th season thatyear as head coach. “So,he called all the seniorsat 2 in the morning andtold them we were goingto win. It was something.I remember the bugleplayer from ChurchillDowns was playing rightin front of us before thegame. And I kept think-ing, the guy from theKentucky Derby is play-ing for a state champion-ship for the Thorough-breds.”

Mayfield didn’t scoreuntil 5:59 remained on along drive against most-ly NewCath reserves,capping a ’Breds post-season run in which theywon by an average mar-gin of 34 points. Headcoach Schneider earnedhis 300th career win inthe regional final. Big-play performances in

the title game in all threephases were highlightedby efforts from Diehl,Scott Gesenhues, KevinBueter, Josh Canafaxand Brandon Kohrs.

“There were so manykids that did excellent,but Sammy was amaz-ing,” Bob Schneidersaid. “What I couldn’t be-lieve was we werethrowing the ball so wellin the final in the pouringrain.”

Diehl had a hand infive of NewCath’s sixtouchdowns. He threwfor 256 yards with scor-ing passes of 16, 66, 35and 32 yards, giving him2,502 passing yards and37 TDs on the season. Herushed for 51 yards witha 3-yard TD run in thesecond quarter, givingNewCath a 28-0 halftimelead. Tailback MichaelVicars ran for 87 yards,putting him over 1,400 onthe season.

The ’Breds raced to a21-0 first-quarter leadbeginning with the firstof two Diehl TD passesto Gesenhues, who hadfive catches for 91yards,was 6-for-6 on extra-point kicks and scored 18points in the game.

“We were a very gooddefense that year withJustin Smith, JordanGrainger and ChipBurks (the top threetacklers),” said formerdefensive coordinatorDan Wagner, now the’Breds’ head coach. “Ireally wanted a shutoutin that final, but I waspretty happy to get thewin.”

TAYLOR MILL — Bring-ing a burst of energy intothe new year, Star Stau-bach is combining her ex-pertise at helping otherswith a local organizationthat brings small businessleaders together.

The Business Networkgroup, started by ClaytonHicks in Cincinnati in2008, now has a weeklygroup meeting Fridaymornings at Graeter’s IceCream Parlor at the Tri-fecta building in TaylorMill.

Hicks said he startedthe group to focus more onrelationships than refer-rals.

“Referrals are a by-product of relationships.Building those relation-ships brings far more re-ferrals than just going tolook for referrals,” hesaid.

There were 18 groupslast year, and now Hickshas 27 groups in communi-ties ranging from TaylorMill to Springfield. He’salso working on starting a

group in Myrtle Beach,South Carolina.

After paying the $195annual dues, which is $165as an introductory rate forKentucky businesses,members can attend anymeeting.

Staubach said she knewright away she wanted tojoin this group.

“TBN has a special wayof connecting you with thepeople you want to con-nect with. It’s not a ran-dom thing,” she said. “Anyorganizer can set up ameeting, but Clayton has astrategic way of puttingpeople together. It’s notnecessarily about doingbusiness with people, buthow you can work togeth-er and benefit each other.In the process, your busi-ness benefits as well.”

Hicks said his strategyis about method, not mag-ic.

“I do match peoplebased on the behaviorsthey show me,” he said.“People show me whatthey want, and I try to helpthem get it. I guess I domatch people up reallywell. Star walked into two

meetings and walked outwith new business.”

As Staubach led theTaylor Mill group duringits first meeting, sevenbusiness leaders talkedabout their successes andchallenges in 2014, andwhat they’d like to accom-plish in 2015. They alsotook turns talking abouttheir businesses and whatthey’d like to achievethrough networking.

“I’m excited aboutgrowing this network,”Staubach said. They arelooking for another teammember to lead the TaylorMill group.

She said the Taylor Milllocation would be good,not only for her, but forother local business own-ers.

“I knew that NorthernKentucky needed this,”she said. “I really love thelocation. It’s conducive topeople who want to comefrom the east side of Ohio,but also conducive for peo-ple in Northern Kentucky.It’s very accessible.”

This is a warningabout something thathappens all too frequent-ly and that can some-times cause major head-aches. It has to do withchecks you receive fromyour insurance companyfor damage you in-curred.

In August 2013, Shar-on Ward was told sheneeded a new roof forher Withamsville house.She called her insuranceagent and received acheck for the new roof.She then signed the backof the check over to aroofing company for hernew roof.

Ward says, “The salesrepresentative told me itwould be done in a cou-ple of weeks – and thatwas in August of 2013.”Ward still doesn’t have anew roof even though thecompany asked for re-ceived the entire insur-ance check plus anothercheck from Ward to cov-er her deductible. Allthat added up to about$6,000.

“He used to, when Itext or call him, he wouldcall back and give memany creative stories.But then it got to thepoint this year where hewouldn’t even respond atall,” Ward says.

The roofer’s contractdoesn’t give a companyaddress or phone num-ber, and fails to have astart or completion date

– all ofwhichare nec-essaryon anycontractyou re-ceive.Also, geta copy ofthe con-tractor’sworkerscompen-

sation and liability insur-ance policies.

That roofer claimed tobe a member of the Bet-ter Business Bureau –but a check would haverevealed the companyhad been thrown out ofthe BBB earlier thatyear.

After signing the con-tract but getting nothingdone, Ward’s roof beganleaking and she experi-enced damage inside herhouse. The roofer cameout and just did a patchjob – failing to replacethe roof as he hadagreed.

Ward says, “I’m kindof scared about what’sgoing to happen ... If I’mgoing to lose thousandsof dollars and I can’tmake another insuranceclaim.”

Now she says she’slearned the hard way –never pay a contractorfor all the work in ad-vance. Yet, that’s exactlywhat you’re doing whenyou turn over your insur-

ance check to a contrac-tor.

Ward says, “The onlyreason I did it is becauseI knew the sales rep verywell and he worked forthe company. That’s ap-parently how they’vealways done it. If it was astranger I would neverhave done that – so liveand learn.”

Ward filed a com-plaint with police andnow the case, accusingthe contractor of theft, isgoing to court. The con-tractor also faces a simi-lar charge in HamiltonCounty where he is ac-cused of doing the samething to a Mariemontman.

Remember, to protectyourself. don’t pay morethan 10 percent upfront,except for special orderitems, and only pay addi-tional sums as the workis completed. Check withthe local building depart-ment to see if permitsare required and, if so,add that to the contract.Make sure to get the jobinspected before finalfees are paid, and get areceipt showing all work-ers and suppliers havebeen paid in full.
