Republican voters in Ken-tucky can’t elect U.S. Sen.Rand Paul to the presidency,but party leaders are urgingpeople to get out to the March5 caucus Paul created.

“It’s their one chance tocome out and vote for presi-dent, so people need to comeout and vote,” said CampbellCounty’s caucus organizerSarah Cameron of Fort Thom-as.

Boone, Campbell and Ken-ton counties will each havetheir own caucus sites openfrom 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Satur-day, March 5, for Republicanvoters to help pick their par-ty’s nominee.

» Campbell County’s cau-cus site was moved fromWilder to Campbell CountyHigh School at 909 CamelCrossing in Alexandria byparty leaders. More space, es-pecially for parking, wasneeded, Cameron said.

» Boone County voterswill cast ballots at FlorenceBaptist Church at Mount Zionat 642 Mount Zion Road, Flor-ence.

» Kenton County voterswill cast ballots at SummitView Middle School at 5006Madison Pike, Independence.

Paul’s impact

Paul, who dropped out ofthe presidential race Feb. 4, isthe reason Republican Partyleaders in Kentucky voted inAugust 2015 to switch to apresidential caucus insteadof voting for president in theMay 17 primary election. Paulraised $250,000 last Septem-ber for Kentucky’s GOP topay for the caucus.

Paul wanted to run for bothpresident and re-election tothe U.S. Senate. State law for-bids a candidate from beingon the same election ballot fortwo different offices. Demo-crats will continue to vote fortheir choice of president inthe May primary, as will non-

It takes a village to behealthy, according to BillScheyer.

Scheyer, the president ofSkyward, the organizationcharged with developing andmanaging Northern Kentuck-y’s strategic plan, is excitedabout a new initiative to unitethe community in order tobuild a culture of good health.It’s called LiveWell NKY.

“For many years, healthprograms have focused on in-dividual behavior, assumingthat if you teach people whatwill make them healthy, theywill find a way to do it,”Scheyer said. “Unfortunately,being healthy is not just aboutindividual choices.

“Today, we’re realizing thatit’s not enough to know how tobe healthy – you need practical,readily available, healthy op-tions around you. That’s wherepolicy, system and environ-mental (PSE) change comes in.Health programs and eventsare important, but PSE strate-gies support long-term sustain-able change at the larger com-munity level,” Scheyer said.

A key strategy is to move anadditional 9 percent of resi-dents into excellent or verygood health status. LiveWellNKY will provide NorthernKentucky with a common vi-sion for a culture of goodhealth, he said.

The program, which has re-cently launched its pilot phase,will focus on helping communi-ties, work sites, schools, andfaith-based organizations pur-sue health goals in the areas ofphysical activity, improved nu-trition and tobacco-free envi-ronments. Based on implemen-tation of policies and environ-mental changes that drive im-proved health, organizationswill be awarded “LiveWell”status.

In support of these PSEstrategies, St. ElizabethHealthcare has awarded Sky-ward with a $100,000 grant tokick off the initiative. LiveWellNKY has launched in five pilotcommunities – Covington,Newport, Ludlow, Fort Mitch-ell and Gallatin County.

The funds are being used forcommunity-wide marketingefforts that include the devel-opment and launch of a Live-Well NKY website,www.livewellnky.org andvideo, as well as training ma-terials and sessions, coalitiontechnical assistance, and sup-port for the five LiveWell NKYpilot communities.

“Health serves as the foun-dation for so many facets ofour community,” St. ElizabethCEO Garren Colvin said. “Weare excited to not only supporta collaborative model like Li-veWell NKY, but to support(Skyward’s) goal and St. Eliza-beth’s vision of making North-ern Kentucky one of the health-

iest communities in America.”Fort Mitchell City Adminis-

trator Sharmili Reddy said thecity is excited about the oppor-tunity to be a pilot communityfor the initiative.

“Fort Mitchell is a very ac-tive community,” Reddy said.“This initiative will help us ele-vate the community healthconversation not only withinour city but will also pave theway for other jurisdictions thatwant to do the same. With thehelp of a local coalition that in-cludes residents and business-es, we hope to implement spe-cific programs and strategiesas part of LiveWell NKY.”

In addition to the communi-ty coalitions, a LiveWell Schoolinitiative has been developedthrough the existing NorthernKentucky Health Departmentcoordinated school health pro-gram, which aims to supportenvironmental change throughschool health recognition andschool policy improvements.Schools currently participat-ing are Newport MiddleSchool, Grant County MiddleSchool, Beechwood Indepen-dent School District and Ocker-man Elementary School inFlorence.

Beechwood Schools Super-intendent Mike Stacy said thisinitiative goes well with thedistrict’s efforts to educate“the whole child.”

presidential Republicancandidates.

“Even though wemight be disappointedthat our U.S. Senator isnot in the running any-more, it’s still a horserace,” Cameron said.

Votes for Paul, or anyother candidate whodropped out includingRick Santorum or MikeHuckabee, still count,said Walton residentPhyllis Sparks, BooneCounty caucus chair-woman.

“They may be out ofthe race, but this is not awinner-take-all elec-tion,” Sparks said.

Candidates gain apercentage of delegatesin a state based on howmany votes they re-ceive, she said.

Paul and others candecide what other candi-date gets their dele-gates.

“There could be somebargaining going on,”she said.

Voter turnoutAdvertisements have

been placed to let themknow about the caucusand avoid a potential lowvoter turnout, Sparkssaid.

A caucus is a newthing for most Kentuckyvoters, Sparks said.

Cameron said movingCampbell County’s cau-cus site from a centralsite in Wilder to Camp-bell County High Schoolin the southern end ofthe county does createconcerns about voterturnout.

“It is a concern, butwe are hopeful peoplemake an event out of it,”Cameron said. “Grab

your friends and familyand let’s go to the caucustogether.”

How to caucusRepublican caucus

voters will fill out a pa-per ballot and put it in alocked box that will beopened and counted lat-er.

A voting area will beseparate from an areawhere campaigns willset up with informationabout candidates.

“There won’t beshouting or any hardpersuasiveness trying toget your vote,” Sparkssaid.

Volunteers workingthe polls will hand votersa paper ballot after theysign next to their namein a book as they do foreach election.

Boone County willhave at least 60 volun-teers working with vot-ers including BooneCounty Board of Elec-tions member EmilyShelton and PropertyValuation AdministratorCindy Arlinghaus Mar-tin.

Marty’s Waffles foodtruck of Alexandria andKona Ice will each beserving food outsideBoone County’s caucus.

“We want to make itan event,” Sparks said.

Cameron said peopleneed to bring photo iden-tification, a signed cred-it card or any other formof ID county clerk of-fices require to show be-fore being allowed tovote.

Absentee voters haveuntil Feb. 19 to turn intheir applications to theRepublican Party ofKentucky via rpk.org.Completed absentee bal-lots have to be turned inby March 4.

Cameron said Camp-bell County will have al-most every county lead-er including Judge-ex-ecutive Steve Pendery,Campbell County Attor-ney Steve Franzen andall three county commis-sioners working as cau-cus volunteers.

“This a great opportu-nity for you to connectwith all the Republicansin your county,” Camer-on said.

tive is pushing us forwardin offering even more op-portunities for our stu-dents and staff in theareas of health and well-ness. The message wewant to send is that beinghealthy isn’t about losingweight. It’s about beinghealthy – gaining muscle,having a healthy diet androutine, and doing healthyexercise.”

Health educators fromthe Northern KentuckyHealth Department as-sisted with the design ofthe LiveWell NKY pro-gram and will work close-ly with local coalitions asthey implement thehealthy community strat-egies.

“The Northern Ken-tucky community is readyto take action and posi-tively improve its collec-tive health rankings,” saidDr. Lynne M. Saddler, dis-trict director of health ofthe health department.

“We are excited to sup-port the implementationof this component of themyNKY plan, and to bepart of a collective ap-proach that works togeth-er to create health envi-ronments and culturesthat will no doubt improvethe lives of Northern Ken-tuckians.”

Additional LiveWellNKY partners includeHealthPoint Family Care,Interact for Health,Three Rivers DistrictHealth Department, Unit-ed Way of Greater Cincin-

nati, Flottman FU-SIONWRX and ViableSynergy.

As the pilot communi-ties and schools arelaunched, LiveWell NKYis simultaneously devel-oping a LiveWell “ambas-sador” program and iden-tifying additional faith-based, work site and com-munity coalitions tolaunch throughout 2016.

A homeless man, totingtrash bags containing allof his worldly goods,caught the eye of ChasityMcKinley of Burlington.

Snow was comingdown hard after her Mon-day, Feb. 8, shopping tripto the Burlington PikeKroger.

At first McKinleythought Michael might bean employee, but soonpieced together his actualsituation, mainly becausehis clothes were quiteworn.

“I whipped togetherwhatever cash I had in mycar and I pulled over andgave it to him. I wantedhim to go get a hot cup ofcoffee,” McKinley said.

When McKinley ar-rived home, she made athermos of hot coffee,gathered blankets, instantcoffee, peanut butter andcrackers and “ran out thedoor” to find Michael, tak-ing along one of herdaughters.

It was a little hard tofind him because of theweather. Once she did, heaccepted her gift andchatted a bit.

“He’s a very nice man,very caring and he wantsto know everything aboutyou,” McKinley said. “Hehad a big smile on his facewhen I gave him the cof-fee and he wasn’t begging.He wasn’t asking for any-thing.”

Michael, 52, gave Mc-Kinley permission to snaphis photo. She posted thephoto on the 7,732-mem-ber “Boone County Neigh-borhood Group” on Face-book, expressing concernfor him in the cold, snowyweather.

Funds were raisedthrough meetings ata snowy bus shelter

Almost instantly, of-fers to help Michael an-swered McKinley’s post.

In fact, so many Face-book members wanted tohelp, it was fortunate sev-eral Boone County womenwith considerable experi-ence helping homelesspeople leapt into actionand organized efforts.Within a few hours, theyraised enough money tosecure a hotel room andobtain food and freshclothing for Michael.

Colleen Bailey, of Flor-ence, is a volunteer for theEmergency Shelter ofNorthern Kentucky and aleader with Project Kind-

ness in Boone County. Bai-ley took charge of findingMichael, whose last namewas not disclosed to re-spect his safety and priva-cy. She gathered up his be-longings, and got him outof the cold on the night ofFeb. 8 until shelter wasfound.

Carrie Brixey collect-ed most of the donationsthat were offered byFacebook members,meeting them at a busshelter near the Burling-ton Kroger, in the cold.

Others offered to laun-der Michael’s clothing,donate duffel bags, payfor a night’s room at thehotel, or bring food. Thecore group has continuedto look after Michael.Donna Vandervort, ofElsmere, goes to the hotelto check on him everymorning.

As of this writing, a to-tal of three weeks is paidfor at the hotel and Baileysaid donations are stillcoming in. A fourth weekto keep Michael safe fromthe elements was a dis-tinct possibility.

Offers of help came sofast on Feb. 8, Bailey esti-mated 100 people were in-volved one way or anoth-er.

Bailey credits the rap-id response to more thanjust the power of socialmedia.

“It’s divine interven-tion. It really is,” she said.

One of the most “liked”comments in the Feb. 8lengthy Facebook threadwas written by ValerieTurner Bowman, of Flor-ence:

“While this is an unfor-tunate situation, I lovehow people have come to-gether to help a fellow hu-man being ... no strings at-tached. Just doing some-thing for another out ofkindness. There is somuch negativity, anger,and hatred in the worldnowadays that whensomething like this hap-pens my heart fills with somuch happiness. MayGod bless each one of youand especially Mike.”

McKinley, who tookthe photo that launchedthe outpouring of con-cern, said, “It was verytouching to see that smalllittle post helped him in somany ways ... My maingoal was to make sure hestayed warm. This manwas cold. He neededsomething to warm himup.”

Fire burned stubbornly the eve-ning of Feb. 13 at the RabbitHash General Store. The 1831structure, the souvenirs, candy,

antiques, all that merchandise, solovingly arranged by proprietor TerrieMarkesbery, took a long while to turninto ashes.

The General Store as we knew it isgone. But memories of The Hash willlive forever. The Recorder put out acall for emails and photos describingyour favorite memories. Thanks tothose who shared recollections.

Soon laughter and music will returnto Rabbit Hash. Someday a new build-ing may emerge. Meanwhile here arereasons why everybody cares so muchabout the General Store.

* * * *I will always cherish the memories

of riding in the bed of my grandpa’struck down there to get a pop or an icecream when I would visit. These mem-ories will always be held close to myheart.

Douglas Throm, St. Louis, Missouri

On my first date with the beautifulNora Ellen I knew I’d have to take hersomewhere that would exhibit clearlyto her just what she was in for ifthingsworkedout be-tween us.There’dnot be toomanyfancydinners orformaldances,but a BBQsandwichfrom theScalded Hog andsome toetappin’ at the barn dance wasn’t out ofthe question.

So I picked her up in my old GMC

and headed straight for the GeneralStore. We sat by the river and talkedfor hours before I mustered the cour-age to lean over and give her that firstkiss. Two babies and five years laterI’m the happiest man in the world andat least once a month we go back to theHash and re-create that first kiss andgive thanks for the amazing thing thatwas born right there on the banks ofthe river.

Jeremy Spotted Leaf Turner, Big Bone

My memory of my kids alwaysenjoying their candy cigarettes afterthe parade.

Always nice letting them enjoythings I did as a kid.

Kristy Loschiavo, Burlington

Countless steamy summer nights,cold Sundays behind the stove, andsleepy weekday afternoons make up

my memories of the General Store. It’swhere I spent time with my closestfriends and where I brought new bud-dies. It’s where I first bought beer andwhere I took refuge from my lastheartbreak. It’s where, on the porchthree years ago, I reconnected with anold acquaintance who recently becamemy husband. The Store was our meet-ing place, but as long as our communi-ty continues to come together on thebanks of the Ohio, the spirit of RabbitHash survives.

Becky Haltermon RobinsonOriginally from Union, Kentucky, now in

West Palm Beach, Florida

I grew up in the store, my mothergrew up there and my grandmothergrew up there. My grandparents wereCliff and Lib Stephens. My sister Shar-on and I spent most weekends and

much of our summers playing on theriverbank and looting the candy andice cream offerings of the store. I willalways remember sitting around thestove on Saturday night, listening tofamily and friends shoot the breeze. Itwas a perfect childhood and I miss itand the people from it everyday. Isuppose now I will miss the store, too.

Suzie Langen, Burlington

I first discovered Rabbit Hash on aroad trip about 25 years ago – comingback from some forgotten southernvacation spot of lesser importance.Leaving the highway on a whim tofollow the river we happened acrossthis unique and special place calledRabbit Hash. In the 15 years since myreintroduction to that special place, Ihave learned that Rabbit Hash is aboutmuch more than its anchor – the Gen-eral Store.

Like so many other historic trea-sures in our nation, Rabbit Hash’s“Sense of Place” is no accident. Itcomes primarily from the people whohave poured their hearts and souls intopreserving it; and who continue towork toward a shared vision of whatRabbit Hash’s heritage is and can be.The loss of the original Rabbit HashGeneral Store is heartbreaking, butdon’t let it be a death knell. The RabbitHash Historical Society and theirsupporters have and will continue tosteward this special place and havevowed to rebuild. It may be too soon tosay what form the new store will take,but Rabbit Hash will continue as aspecial place because of the peoplewho love and cherish it.

RABBIT HASH – Outof the ashes the spirit ofRabbit Hash has risen.

“We are determined,”Rabbit Hash HistoricalSociety vice presidentDon Clare said. “The Rab-bit Hash General Storewill be rebuilt.”

Late Feb. 13, a fire, thatbegan inside the generalstore burned throughout anearly five-hour firefightin near-sub-zero temper-atures. Residents gath-ered nearby, some cryingand one group singing“Amazing Grace.”

Sen. John Schickelrushed to the scene whenhe got wind of the news viaTwitter. He said he feltcompelled to go.

“When I heard thenews of the fire, I knewthis would be the end ofour beloved store as weknow it,” he said. “Thestore embodied a sense ofBoone County past for somany. To see that de-stroyed is very sad. It’s atime of mourning for usall.”

What destroyed theiconic structure mightnever be known, accord-ing to officials.

The investigation intothe fire has concluded,Bellevue-McVille FireChief Jeff Hermes toldthe Enquirer Monday.

A potbelly stove mighthave sparked it becausethe fire started in the roofwhere the stovepipeswere, Hermes said. But in-vestigators won’t knowfor sure, Hermes said.Firefighters ruled out ar-son.

Although the buildingis gone the spirit it housed,according to Clare, isstronger than ever.

“You can’t believe theemotions that havepoured through my bodythese last few days,” Claresaid. “I’m just one repre-sentative of everybodytouched by this. Eventhough we are very sad,we’re determined. Thisstore will reappear asclose to the original. We’llhave as much of the origi-nal fabric we can salvage.No matter what tragedy,we can come together and

make the best of it. I’venever seen a more deter-mined group as we are.”

A GoFundMe cam-paign, bit.ly/1KRPXYo,started on Feb. 14, has al-ready raised more $37,780toward rebuilding effortswith 721 contributors.

“It’s unbelievable, thesupport,” Clare said. “Thisproves that the RabbitHash General Store hadthe same effect on any vis-itor as those who live hereand take care of it. It wasan icon, not only for BooneCounty... but the wholeU.S. We’ve even receiveda condolence letter fromSpain.”

Bobbi Kayser, memberof the Rabbit Hash His-torical Society Board ofDirectors, said all the sup-port is like “being em-braced by the universe.”

“It’s so humbling,” shesaid. “We are receivinglove from people all over

the world. They ache forus. It’s like a huge hug.”

In addition to the Go-FundMe support, Kaysersaid several fundraisingevents are being planned.Knuckleheads Perfor-mance Cycles in Milford,Ohio, is planning a ride tobenefit the rebuild, and aconcert is also in theworks. Kayser said as therebuild moves forward,there will also be needsfor material and labor do-nations. There’s also aneed for donated antiquesand storage for theseitems. “Anything is appre-ciated,” she said.

The historical societyis also looking for interiorphotos of the store to cata-log all that was inside forthe insurance company.These can be sent to Kays-er [email protected].

Kayser said, althoughvisitors are welcome topay their respects, anyonecoming to the site shouldrefrain from goingthrough the remains ortaking anything.

“We fear for people’ssafety and also, as we re-build, in order to keep ourhistoric status, we have tokeep as much of the origi-nal building as possible.,”she said.

The Rabbit Hash His-torical Society owns thegeneral store and leasesthe building to Terrie Mar-kesbery, who runs thebusiness inside. Markes-bery has plans to re-openas early as this weekend inthe adjacent barn.

Markesbery wants tohold the weekly music se-ries as planned in the barnthis Sunday from 2:30p.m.-5:30 p.m. if she canget the proper permits foralcohol sales. She alsowants to set up a tempor-ary general store in the

barn while the store is re-built.

The store had been incontinual operation since1831, according to the his-torical society. It wasplaced on the NationalRegister of HistoricPlaces in 1989.

‘We really do needto get a shelter outhere’

The Emergency Shel-ter of Northern Kentucky,located in Covington, isthe only shelter in this re-gion, Bailey said Feb. 11asshe was preparing a mealto take there. At her Flor-ence home she was cook-ing barbecue chicken,macaroni and cheese,beans and rice, peas andcarrots.

“We really do need toget a shelter out here,”she said.

Mary Rose Mission,which has operated a soupkitchen on Main Street inFlorence for almost threeyears, attempted last yearto open a temporary hous-ing facility that wouldgive homeless people inBoone County a place tostay overnight in coldweather. However, underBoone County zoning reg-ulations, a homeless shel-ter is not a permitted usewithin the city limits of

Florence, city officialssaid.

Besides her work withthe Emergency Shelter inCovington, Bailey is alsopart of Project Kindness,an effort to help homelesspeople in Boone Countywhich was started byLeah Alexander Angel. ItsFacebook group has about890 members who staybusy helping people livingin a handful of homelesscamps or who are hit bytragedies such as housefires.

Bailey’s glad the volun-teers were able to providea hotel room for Michael.There was snow in theforecast this week andwho knows if another po-lar freeze will happen inlate February or earlyMarch.

Michael came to thisarea in November afterspending time in Southernstates like Tennessee andGeorgia.

“He just travels. That’swhat he does. I don’t thinkhe’ll stick around here af-ter the weather breaks,”Bailey said.

“He’s definitely beenhelped by a lot of angelsalong the way.”

FLORENCE – WhenMatt Ryan was younger,he wanted to become arock star.

“I still want to be a rockstar,” said Ryan, now 21, ofHebron. So three yearsago, right out of ConnerHigh School, Ryan hiredon at Mubea in Florence.

“I needed a real jobwith commensurate payand I found Mubea’s ap-prentice program had allthe qualifications,” Ryansaid.

In fact, Ryan was one ofnine December 2015 grad-uates of Mubea’s three-year program, whichlinked up with GatewayCommunity and TechnicalCollege’s general studies,led him to an associate’sdegree in electrical engi-neering and a solid job.Mubea paid for all his timeat Gateway includingbooks and tuition, every-thing while he continued astrenuous work schedule

at Mubea’s plant in Flor-ence.

“This (electrical tech-nical work) is a big field,and I think, wow, I’m start-ed,” Ryan said.

Currently, 31 appren-tices are enrolled at vari-ous stages of the program.

This July, 10 more willstart. All spend part oftheir time at Gateway andpart at one of Mubea’scampus of locations inBoone County. MubeaNorth America pays theentire tab – schooling plusan hourly wage – and of-

fers apprentices a chanceto spend up to threemonths at the company’sfacilities in Germany.

Mubea makes high-tech parts for the auto in-dustry, including springs,high-tech hose clamps andframe pieces that are lightin weight. Today’s auto in-dustry, whether in NorthAmerica, Europe or Chinaand Japan, always wantcars lighter and more fuelefficient. In fact, Mubeasupplies parts to everyAmerican auto maker andeight out of 10 cars on theroad run on Mubea parts,according to company lit-erature.

Another apprentice,Joey Baxter, 21, of Peters-burg, became a mainte-nance technician as didColin Chazuka, of FortMitchell. He joined Mu-bea in 2012 at the same

time as Matt Ryan.“I came over to Mubea

on a field trip from Con-ner,” Baxter said. “I wasreally fascinated by theidea of the apprentice pro-gram and signed up.”

Baxter, the size of atackle in football, smilesconfidently at theprospects of his future indeveloping better and bet-ter automobile parts.

According to MubeaCEO Doug Cain, the com-pany spends approxi-mately $50,000 per ap-prentice on equipment, tu-ition, books and how to getalong on the job. The en-tire program is budgetedat around $2 million thisyear.

Another of the graduat-ing apprentices, ColinChazuka, 40, originallyfrom Detroit, worked forMubea for three years be-fore joining the appren-tice program.

“In the short run, I hadto take a pay cut, but withthis education, it takes theworries off the future,”Chazuka, a maintenancetechnician, said. “With theeconomy always chang-ing, I had to get an educa-

tion to get a good job.“With what I have ob-

tained through Mubea, if aleave to get a job in, say,Texas, or anywhere, I stillhave a good career.”

Chazuka, who is mar-ried with three children,lives in Fort Mitchell.

Jesse Phillips, a SimonKenton graduate, joinedMubea right out of highschool in 2012 and jumpedat the apprentice pro-gram. Phillips, who is mar-ried with a young daugh-ter, lives in Morning Viewin Kenton County

“I saw it as an opportu-nity to be trained and get adegree without any stu-dent loans,” said Phillips,now a tool maker techni-cian. “I want to make bet-ter ways for the place torun.”

The CEO Cain ex-plained that Mubea was“unable to find sufficient-ly qualified persons tosupport the growth we’vehad in our facilities.”

Mubea has grown toabout 1,400 employeesfrom 500 a few years ago.

“Adapting a modelused in Mubea’s Germanfacilities, the apprenticeprogram developed from2012 to now with ninegraduates and more tocome,” Cain said.

“The program has beenworking for many years inGermany,” Cain said. “Webelieve the apprenticeprogram is working for ushere.”

Well,yesterday, Igot to “doc-tor up” my

husband, Frank. Now truthbe told, the man never getsa cold or flu. But a fewdays ago, he started hack-ing, was feverish and verycongested. So I gave himdoses of the cough medi-cine along with this reallygood chilled fever bustingpunch. I think he was sur-prised at how quickly bothhelped.

I mentioned that duringa presentation I did forwomen engineers at theUniversity of Cincinnatiand a couple of the stu-dents wanted me to includethe punch recipe herealong with tips on why it’sgood for you. So you get abonus today!

Fever bustin’ chilled punch

Sometimes when we have the flu or a cold, a fever is part of it. But staying hydrated is soimportant. We want something chilled and refreshing. This drink does it all: it’s delicious, hydratingand energy boosting.

I like to have this punch on hand even if no one is sick. It’s good for the immune system, alwaysrefreshing and a good afternoon pick-me-up.

Now if you’d like more healthful, vitamin filled drinks, check out my site abouteating.com.Stir together and chill:

2 cups each: all natural fruit punch, pineapple juice and either cherry/pomegranate orcranberry/pomegranate juice.

Lately I’ve been making it with cherry/pomegranate and it’s a bit sweeter than cranberry/pomegranate.

A wedge of lemon or a few slices of strawberry for garnish makes the drink look even moreinviting.

Why this recipe is good for you:The punch contains vitamin C which helps fight infection and builds immune system. Pineap-

ple is great for sore throats, and cranberry/cherry/pomegranate has lots of antioxidants.Lemons and strawberries contain vitamin C.

Miso glazed salmon

Cooks quickly and evenly under the broiler.February is American Heart Month, so any time youcan incorporate seafood in your meals, do it.

4-6 salmon filets, about 6 ounces each1/2 cup packed brown sugar – or substitute1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce1/4 cup hot water3 tablespoons light miso (soybean paste)

Preheat broiler. Combine first 4 ingredients,stirring with a whisk. Arrange fish in a shallowbaking dish coated with cooking spray. Spoon misomixture evenly over fish. Broil 10 minutes or untilfish flakes easily when tested with a fork, bastingtwice with miso mixture. Sprinkle with sesame seedsand serve.

Why this recipe is good for you:Salmon contains all-important Omega 3’s,

good for your brain, hair, skin, nails and heart.

Tuna and peas

Gosh, I can’t tell you the times I made this formy kids, nieces and nephews. My culinary reper-toire wasn’t vast in those days, but this was alwaysa hit.

But even to this day, this recipe is simplyknown in our house as tuna and peas.

This makes a pretty thick mixture, so if youwant, increase the butter, flour and milk by halfagain.

1 box frozen peas, thawed – use as little or asmuch as you want

2 tablespoons each butter and flour1 cup milk1 small can tuna, drainedPepper to taste

Melt butter and flour together and cook justuntil butter melts and mixture looks golden, notbrown. Whisk in milk and cook until thickened.Stir in peas and tuna and cook until peas are done.Season to taste.

To serve: either alone or over whole grainthin bagels or toast points

Why this recipe is good for you:Canned tuna contains Omega 3s too. Peas

are good for your bones and immune system. Theyare good for sniffles, too. Milk contains bone-building calcium and pepper has antioxidants in it,too.

A publication of

On Saturday, Feb. 6, mem-bers of the Northern KentuckyCaucus had an opportunity tohear from a number of constit-uents who attended the NKYLegislative Forum held at theNKY Convention Center. Awide variety of issues wereraised, from funding for NKUto property taxes being toohigh.

I enjoy these meetings andalways appreciate hearingfrom the public. While we willnot agree on all of the issuesall of the time, I appreciatecivic engagement and every-one in attendance having thedesire to make Kentucky bet-ter.

With nearly half of the ses-sion under our belt, some note-worthy dates are approaching.The last day for legislators torequest a bill is Feb. 19. Thelast day for new Senate bills tobe introduced is March. 3.Leaders from the State Houseof Representatives – wherespending bills must originate –have said they hope to gettheir budget bills to the Senateby the end of the second weekof March. The Senate will thenget a chance to amend thosebudget bills.

That doesn’t mean the Sen-ate isn’t studying the gover-nor’s proposed budget. TheSenate Standing Committee onAppropriations and Revenue

recently heldits first meet-ing on thegovernor’sproposed bud-get. The chal-lenge in craft-ing a new 24-month budgetis the billionsof dollars ofunfunded pen-sion liabilities

and the cost of expanded Me-dicaid.

Growth is expected forindividual income taxes andsales taxes, which comprisenearly 75 percent of the Gen-eral Fund. Individual incometax returns are expected togrow at 4 percent for the cur-rent year and maintain thatgrowth through the biennium.Sales taxes are expected togrow at 4.7 percent for thecurrent year, with positivegrowth for the remainingyears of the proposed budget.

The governor’s idea to meetthe growing needs of the pen-sions and Medicaid is to imple-ment spending reductions of4.3 percent for the remainderof this fiscal year and 9 per-cent for the following twofiscal years. The total reduc-tions over the 30-month periodwould save $650 million.

There are exemptions fromthe governor’s spending cuts

for areas that include: Medi-caid, retirement systems, stu-dents’ financial aid, anti-her-oin initiatives, coal severanceprograms, public safety em-ployees, social workers, prose-cutors, public defenders,boards of elections, and Veter-an Affairs.

In addition to working onthe budget, here are some ofthe bills that the Senate votedon this week:

» In an attempt to ease theburden on managed care pro-viders, Senate Bill 20 wouldcreate an independent reviewprocess for health care provid-ers to appeal claims that havebeen denied by managed-careorganizations (MCOs) con-tracted by Kentucky to admin-ister Medicaid. Under thecurrent structure, appealshave to be made directly to theMCOs. The legislation is mod-eled after existing laws inVirginia and Georgia and isanother step in much-neededhealth care reform that couldultimately lower costs forconsumers.

» Protection of children’sidentity was embodied in Sen-ate Bill 23. Identity theft isn’tjust a problem for adults; chil-dren are victims too. In fact,the sponsor said one in fortyhouseholds with children un-der 18 had at least one child’sinformation compromised by

identity thieves. SB 23 wouldgive parents the right to placea “security freeze” on theirchild’s credit report if they feltthe need. SB 23 also allowsguardians of vulnerable citi-zens to place freezes on thosecitizens’ credit reports.

» The legislators’ retire-ment plan was the subject ofSenate Bill 73. It allows a one-time irrevocable opt-out forlegislators from the provisionknown as reciprocity insidethe legislators’ retirementplan. The sponsor said SB 73 isaimed at giving legislators aone-time opt-out to make theirpension based solely on theirlegislative salary and not re-ceive a massive bump if theytake a higher paying job else-where in state government.The sponsor added that itwould save the state more than$6 million over 20 years.

» Colon cancer preventionwas tackled in Senate Bill 78.The bill would broaden thecharter of the Kentucky Can-cer Foundation and the Ken-tucky Colon Cancer ScreeningFund. The fund was estab-lished in 2010 to help providecolon cancer screenings foruninsured people. Since theimplementation of the Afford-able Care Act, the sponsor saidthe number of people unin-sured has fallen, but there aremore “underinsured.” SB 78

would make the underinsuredeligible for the free screen-ings. There would be no addi-tional costs to taxpayers.

» Share the road is morethan a slogan. It is now a pro-posed legislative remedy tohelp protect bicyclists trav-eling highways with motorists.Senate Bill 80 calls for driversto respect a three-foot passingdistance when encountering abicycle on the road. It wouldalso allow motorists to crossthe double yellow line to honorthe three-foot rule. The spon-sor said SB 80 is similar tolaws already on the books in 23other states and would pro-mote “bicycle tourism” aroundKentucky Trail Towns.

» Did you know it is illegalfor garbage trucks to stop onthe roadway to empty yourtrash? Senate Bill 84 wouldtake care of that oversight.The sponsor said the currentlaw doesn’t recognize the ne-cessity for solid waste col-lection vehicles to stop in or-der to do their business.

Last week’s questionWhere in the Greater Cincinnati area is the best place to go for a

romantic evening? What makes it special?

“The better romantic places to go in Cincinnati have one thingin common, a great view. Places such as The Prima Vista in thePrice Hill area and The Celestial in Mount Adams are two ofmany such places. The Radisson in Covington has a revolvingrestaurant on top, covered parking and decent room rates. Nowif we could only get the former 5-star Gourmet Room to returnto the Hilton near Fountain Square.

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

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

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

Kentucky ranked 43rdamong U.S. states for cardio-vascular deaths from 1990-2014, according to America’sHealth Rankings. Ohio wasNo. 40 and Indiana No. 39.That same organization re-leased its annual report thatrated Kentucky 44th inhealthy behaviors, determi-nants and outcomes. Ohio isNo. 39 and Indiana No. 41.

Heart disease is the leadingcause of death in the UnitedStates for men and women.

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

personnel,physicians,nurses, phar-macists,health careadministratorsand others cancollaborate toprovide thebest care andbest outcome spossible.

Communityeducation is a key component.

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

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

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

Some examples:

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

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

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

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

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

St. Elizabeth has estab-lished a goal of reducingheart-related deaths by 25percent in Northern Kentuckywithin 10 years of opening theHeart & Vascular Institute lastspring. Participating in thisstudy and developing action-able items is just one of manyways in which we will con-tinue to improve the health ofour community today and inthe future.

On a day in which just aboutevery competing school had abig accomplishment to feelgood about, the Campbell Coun-ty wrestling team still stayedatop the heap Feb. 13 during theKHSAA Region 6 champion-ships at Newport.

Campbell County won itsfifth consecutive team title with222 points, edging Walton-Vero-na by 16.5.

Both the Camels and Bear-cats had three regional champi-ons and nine state qualifiers. Ina rare display of balance andparity in the region, no team hada double-digit number of statequalifiers out of the 14 classes,and seven different teams hadan individual champion. All 10schools that produced a statequalifier had at least three ofthem.

“It’s as close as we’ve hadsince I can remember,” saidCampbell head coach Mike Ban-kemper. “It’s been a long time.We knew Walton was going to betough. Cooper was going to beright there but they had threestarters injured. We knew it wasgoing to be right down to thewire.”

Going down to the wire for akey win was Campbell seniorBryan Spahr, who pulled out an11-9 overtime win over Ryle’sLogan Erdman in the 138-poundfinal. Spahr was the only wres-tler who wasn’t the top seed go-ing into the regional to win hisweight class, and he was namedthe most outstanding wrestlerof the meet.

Spahr trailed most of the wayagainst Erdman, the defending126-pound regional and statechampion from last year. Spahrscored a takedown just beforethe third-period horn to sendthe match to sudden-death over-time, then quickly ended thematch with a takedown early inthe extra minute. He is 32-7overall.

“It’s amazing,” Spahr said.

“I’m so happy. I worked reallyhard all this all my life sincethird grade.”

“His win was a reflection ofhow hard he works in practice,”Bankemper said. “It comesdown to who has more in thetank at the end, and he had morein the tank in overtime. He wasmore aggressive.”

Campbell also had titlesfrom sophomore Tanner Yenter,who easily won the title at 113,and by senior Brett Graziani,who won at 195. Yenter, a junior,is 41-5 entering the state meet,and senior Graziani is 39-11.

Campbell had three runner-

ups, and its six finalists weretwo more than Walton-Verona.

Thomas Ketchen-Carter fin-ished second at 106, as did Bra-dy Wells at 120 and Dakota Lillieat 126.

Collin Barrett finished thirdat 132 as did Jared Stadtmillerat 160, and Hunter Parnell fin-ished fourth at 170. BrandonMesser (182) and Tim Rolf (220)finished fifth and are state al-ternates.

Newport had two fifth-placealternates in Kyle Mardis at 138and Drevon Jones at 145.

LEXINGTON – Whenthey’re not wearing their highschool shirts and represent-ing their teams, the top prepbowlers in Northern Ken-tucky are often working ontheir craft together. Manyplayers from area schools par-ticipate in separate youthleagues during the week andcombatants from differentschools easily become prac-tice partners, especially thosewho share independent bowl-ing coaches.

On days like Feb. 11, when16 bowlers from 10 differentNorthern Kentucky schoolsgathered at Collins EastlandLanes to go after the KHSAAstate singles championships,the players became one bigteam.

“We come from a goodgroup of kids,” said BooneCounty freshman KaraStrong. “We all bowl togetheron Friday nights and Saturdaymornings and Sundays. Whenwe come down to state, if oneteam gets kicked out, wecheer for the other teams.”

In boys singles, BishopBrossart’s Sam Fleissner fin-ished 10th to achieve the best-ever finish of any Mustangplayer. He shot a 258 his finalgame and was 15 pins short ofadvancing to the next round

and winning a state medal.In girls singles, Elizabeth

Masminster of Dayton fin-ished 17th with a 557, (186 aver-age). She shot a steady 182-183-192. Kaylee HItt of Camp-bell finished 25th with 511(170)and a high game of 177.

In the boys team tourna-ment, Campbell County fin-ished in the quarterfinals. TheCamels and Highlands ad-vanced the farthest of anyNorthern Kentucky team.

The match play is best-of-five games in the Baker for-mat, in which five teammatesalternate frames with eachplayer rolling two frameswithin a single game.

Each year new peopleget into vegetable garden-ing. Success or failure ofhome vegetable produc-tion can depend on manythings, but some majorreasons for failure arenegligence, not followingthe proper instructionsand not keeping up withcurrent vegetable devel-opments.

When planning a gar-den, it is important to aska few basic questions:

Who will be doing thework? Will the garden bea group project with fam-ily and friends, or willyou be going at it alone?Remember that a smallweed-free garden willproduce more than alarge, weedy mess.

What do you and yourfamily like to eat? Al-though the pictures in thegarden catalog look deli-cious, there is no value intaking up gardeningspace with vegetables

that noone eats.Make alist ofyourfamily’sfavoritevegeta-bles,ranked inorder ofprefer-

ence. This will be a usefulguide in deciding howmuch of each vegetable toplant. Successive plant-ings of certain crops,such as beans, can beharvested over a longerperiod of time and in-crease your yield. As youplan, list recommendedvarieties and plantingdates.

How do you plan to usethe produce from yourgarden? If you plan tocan, freeze, dry or storepart of the produce, thiswill be a factor not only inplanning the size of the

garden, but also in select-ing varieties. Some varie-ties have much betterkeeping quality than oth-ers. Care should be usedin choosing the seeds,making sure the varietiesyou select are adapted toyour area and intendeduse.

Finally, how muchspace is available? Howmuch area can be con-verted into usable gardenspace, and how muchgarden do you need? Donot plant more gardenthan you need.

Additional planning Plan the garden on

paper first. Draw a mapshowing arrangement andspacing of crops. If youwish to keep the gardengrowing all season, youmay need a spring, sum-mer and fall garden plan.

For Dr. George Chris-tensen III, his work ispersonal. And mesmeriz-ing.

His passion for theteamwork and the tech-nology that promote bet-ter results for patients isevident. But it was his fa-ther’s battle with heartdisease that set hiscourse as a cardiothorac-ic surgeon.

The opportunity tomake a difference for pa-tients – relying on seam-less coordination at alllevels of care and the lat-est technology – drivesChristensen, one of thenewer members of the

St. Eliza-beth Heartand Vascu-lar Insti-tute team.

“My fa-ther wasafflictedwith heartdisease

when I was a muchyounger age,” said Chris-tensen, his voice tem-pered with emotion. “Ihad to see him go throughthe struggles for manyyears, including openheart surgery.”

His father, a TVbroadcaster, died at age52. Now, Christensen is

seeing nearly miracu-lous results for patientsin their 80s because ofadvances in the field.

February is HeartMonth, designed to drawattention to the diseasewhich is the leadingcause of death in thecountry. St. ElizabethHealthcare is on a mis-sion to reduce heart-re-lated deaths by 25 per-cent in Northern Ken-tucky in the next decade.

Once Christensen at-tended medical school, itwas clear to him that hewas going to be a sur-geon. As he continued histraining, he found “it was

a challenging decision atfirst – until I stepped footin my first open-heartsurgery. It was mesmer-izing … and I was reallyawestruck with theamount of folks who arein the operating roomand how things are veryorchestrated and team-oriented to fulfill eachgoal in each case,” saidChristensen, who lives inUnion.

His specialty is dis-eases of the heart, lungsand esophagus encom-passing a wide array ofpathology including in-fections or lesions, bothbenign and malignant.“In short, I’m a chest sur-geon,” Christensen said.

The challenge is toconstantly update op-tions for minimally inva-sive surgery to decreaserecovery time, the possi-bility of complicationsand time in the hospital.

“I think with technol-ogy, much of our ap-proaches have changed.For instance, we’re doingminimally invasivevalve surgery,” saidChristensen. If you lookat heart surgery histori-cally, he explained, it’sbased on the same prem-ise of connecting onevessel to the other to re-store function. But in-creased knowledge, new-er skills and the latesttechnology are allowingsurgeons to repair theheart with smaller inci-sions and quicker recov-eries.

“This is all a work inprogress,” he said. “Wehave great surgeonshere who have perfectedtraditional surgery that

has been augmented invarious ways from startto finish that have al-lowed patients to get outof the hospital as early asfour days (after sur-gery). You look at 20years ago when my fa-ther had uncomplicatedopen-heart surgery, hisin-patient recoveryprocess was at least sev-en, eight days.”

There is still work tobe done, but, he said “theultimate idea is that wecan offer surgeries forcertain conditions thatare less invasive, caus-ing less pain – not having

to be in the hospital aslong and having betteroutcomes.”

St. Elizabeth Health-care is challenging thecommunity to make atleast one heart-healthydecision each day andpost it to Facebook, Twit-ter or Instagram with thehashtag #29Daysof-Heart. St. Elizabeth willupload tips to those so-cial media channels allmonth and donate $1 tothe American Heart As-sociation HeartChaseNKY for every #29Day-sOfHeart share up to$5,000.

Question: What kindof winter care do myfruit trees need?

Answer: You can startpruning apple and peartrees in late February,and continue into earlyMarch, if necessary. Waituntil after floweringoccurs before pruningpeach trees, since a highpercentage of flowerbuds may be lost due to alate spring frost.

When pruning, selectwide-angled branches,well-spaced around thetree in whorls. Prune outenough branches in thecenter of the tree so thatadequate sunlight willreach the innermostfruits. Peaches are grownas vase-shaped trees,with no major branchesin the center of the tree.Apples can be grown witha modified central leader(a main center stem go-ing straight up, withwhorls of side branchescoming off it at wideangles).

Remove diseased orcrossing branches, suck-ers arising from the baseand all water sprouts that

are grow-ingstraight upfrom thesidebranches.

Whenshorteningsidebranches,be sure toprune backto a bud

that is pointed in thedirection that you wantthe new branch to growthis year. Never leavebranch stubs. Cut twigsback to a bud, and cutbranches back to a sidebranch which is at leastone-third the diameter ofthe one you are cuttingoff, so that it can supportthe larger branch towhich it is attached. Donot make “flush cuts,”since they cause a larger,oval cut. The ideal cut isround in shape, not oval,and no larger than thebranch diameter one inchfrom the trunk.

When making the cut,leave only the “branchcollar” (usually no morethan ¼ to ½ inch) at the

base of the branch whereit flares out to meet thetrunk. Never leavebranch stubs (branchcuts which leave over oneinch of the base of thebranch attached … thesewill die back and causedecay into the center ofthe trunk). Do not apply“tree paint” or “wounddressing” to cut surfaces,since it harms the treeand prevents wound clo-sure.

Fertilizing of treefruits may be done anytime in February. Fruittree nitrogen applications

are based on the age ofthe tree and the amountof new growth on thetwig tips (previous year’sgrowth). Apple trees thatare at least four years oldshould have 12-15 inchesof new growth from last

year at the tip of eachbranch. New apple trees(1-3 years old) may show24-30 inches of new annu-al twig growth. If growthis less than the desiredamount listed above,apply ¼ pound of a high-

nitrogen fertilizer (withnumbers similar to 34-0-0) per tree per year ofage. Don’t apply morethan 2-3 pounds of thefertilizer per tree.

A fertilizer test (freethrough your NorthernKentucky ExtensionOffice) will tell youwhether or not you needphosphorus, potassium,lime or sulfur in additionto the nitrogen that isprovided by the 34-0-0type of fertilizer.

order seeds by January orFebruary. Some plantsmay be started indoors asearly as January.

In your plan, place talland trellised crops on thenorth side of the gardenso they will not shade theshorter vegetables.

Group plants by lengthof growing period. Plantspring crops together sothat later crops can beplanted in these areas

after the early cropsmature. Consider lengthof harvest as well as timeto maturity. Place peren-nial crops to the side ofthe garden where theywill not be disturbed byannual tillage.

Finally, practice croprotation. Try not to plantthe same vegetable or arelated vegetable in thesame location year afteryear.

HIGHLANDHEIGHTS – NorthernKentucky University’salumni network is grow-ing: for the first time,there is now a Black Alum-ni Council to serve Afri-can-American graduatesand help support African-American students.

“There was a lot ofneed and interest amongAfrican-American alumnito gather, to stay connect-ed, to give back, and tohelp create opportunitiesfor African-American stu-dents,” said council presi-dent Crystal L. Kendrick(’97), a former member ofthe NKU Alumni Council.

The creation of theBlack Alumni Councilcomes at a time whenNKU’s student body is themost diverse in universityhistory, and the number ofAfrican-American gradu-ates is growing.

“We are proud to wel-come the Black AlumniCouncil to our network ofalumni councils and asso-ciations, which works toconnect alumni, strength-en relationships, and cele-brate the university andour alumni community,”said Michelle McMullen,director of Alumni Pro-grams & Councils.

NKU’s African-Ameri-can alumni community ison the rise: from 1997 to2011, the number of bache-lor’s degrees conferred tounderrepresented minor-ity students, including Af-

rican-Americans, grew by202 percent.

Following the launch ofthe university’s 2013-18strategic plan, Fuel theFlame, the number ofbachelor’s degrees con-ferred to underrepresent-ed minority students hasgrown by 37 percent. In-creasing diversity amongthe student body, faculty,and staff is a central goalof the strategic plan.

“The university hasdone a phenomenal job ofrecruiting African-Amer-ican students from acrossthe region and the state,and it has made diversityinclusion a priority,” Ken-drick said. “We are proudto join and support thoseefforts.”

Kendrick said theBlack Alumni Councilplans to support studentsuccess programs such asNKU ROCKS, which helpsfirst-year African-Ameri-can students make thetransition from highschool to college. The pro-gram features a strongpeer and faculty/staffmentoring component,and 77 percent of ROCKSstudents return for theirsophomore years.

The Black AlumniCouncil was formed inJanuary and already in-cludes nearly more than adozen members. Officersinclude Kendrick, JeffreyJordan, Bradley Dicker-son, and Patrice McCol-lough.

Independent Auditor’s ReportTo the Honorable Mayor andMembers of the CouncilCity of Southgate, KentuckyReport on the Financial StatementsWe have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Southgate, Kentucky, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial 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 financial 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 financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.-Auditor’s ResponsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial 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 financial 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 financial statements are free from material misstatement.An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial 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 financial 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 significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.-OpinionIn our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Southgate, Kentucky as of June 30, 2015 and the respective changes in financial position thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Other Matters-Required Supplementary InformationAccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s Discussion and Analysis on pages 4-8, the budgetary comparison schedule on page 30, and the pension disclosure on page 31 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial 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 financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.-Supplementary InformationOur audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The combining non-major governmental funds schedules and the budgetary comparison schedules of the non-major governmental funds on pages 32-35 are supplementary information and are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing StandardsIn accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 9, 2015 on our consideration of City of Southgate, Kentucky’s internal control over financial 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 financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering City of Southgate Kentucky’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.
