ALEXANDRIA — CampbellCounty Schools Board of Educa-tion members are focused onmaking sure district budgetsdon’t miss the buses.

Board members and Super-intendent Glen Miller talkedJan. 12 about a budget for thenext fiscal year starting July 1.Miller and board members ex-pressed a need to buy moreschool buses to keep the districtfleet from aging to a pointwhere service is affected.

Miller introduced a $40 mil-lion draft budget with an ex-pected $1 million state-mandat-ed 2 percent wage increase andone bus purchase costing about$100,000.

Board members and Millerhave until May to work out atentative budget reflecting newstaff salaries and state and fed-

eral budget allo-cations, he said.A final workingbudget will befinished in Sep-tember reflect-ing factors in-cluding studentenrollment, Mil-

ler said.State legislation previously

approved will generate about$300,000 in new revenue thisyear to offset the new $1millionexpense from the 2 percentwage increase, he said.

“At this time the district bud-get does not include any specif-ic big ticket items budgeted oth-er than one school bus,” Millersaid.

Miller said he has madeboard members well aware ofthe need for more buses.

A four-bus purchase wasmade in this year’s budget, butfor two years prior bus pur-

chases were pulled out of bud-gets, said board member Kim-ber Fender, of Melbourne.

“And now we’re budgeted forone, but at that pace we’re soongoing to be really needing to beinvesting in buses,” Fendersaid.

Miller said between 55 and60 district buses are in regular

service. Remaining buses in thefleet of 75 are used as substi-tutes, he said.

“Those have a life span ofabout 12-14 years,” Miller said.

Seeking to purchase morethan one new bus this year willbe a discussion point before theMay tentative budget, he said.

Purchasing four buses a year

is where district budgetingneeds to be realistically, Millersaid.

Bus purchases have beentaken out of the budget in previ-ous years for good reason, butadding buses is an issue theboard is studying, said boardmember Rich Mason of Califor-nia.

“I think we’re probably OKright now, but we can’t continueto reduce like we have in the lastcouple years,” he said.

Miller said the district’sdraft budget is short about$100,000 in required reserves,but there is a chance for grantsand other opportunities to makeup the difference before May.

There are still unknowns andat this point the budget is “pret-ty lean,” Mason said.

“You never know what thelegislature is liable to throw at

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 out

of being in auxiliary.“What I give to them does not

begin 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 veteransidentified 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, she

ALEXANDRIA — MayorBill Rachford started theCity Council’s first meet-ing of 2015 by discussingthe state of the city.

Rachford said he ad-dressed the state of thecity in 2011, after he wasfirst elected as mayor, anddecided to do one again be-cause so much haschanged in four years.

“It’s beneficial to let thecitizens know what is go-ing on in the city,” he said.“The beginning of a newyear is a great time to do it.It’s amazing how fast fouryears has gone.”

Rachford said the cityhas nearly 8,500 residents,as recorded in the 2010census, with an annualbudget of approximately$4 million, and 36 miles ofroads within the city lim-its. The city also has 26full-time and seven part-time employees.

A $1 million road pro-ject is planned to takeplace in 2015. It will be dis-cussed at a town hall meet-ing at 7 p.m. March 19 inthe Alexandria Communi-ty Center.

He described the Arca-dia subdivision as one ofthe biggest changes com-ing to the city. The 385-acre development with1,026 homes could addaround 4,000 more resi-dents to the city by the

time it’s complete. The Baptist Life Com-

munity nursing homeshould also be breakingground this year. The $40million multi-story com-plex on 10.5 acres is ex-pected to house more than200 residents and add sev-eral jobs.

“Alexandria is provingit’s a city that is businessfriendly and makes thingshappen,” he said.

Rachford said he’s in-terested in cleaning up thetown, including reducinglitter and improving theappearance of MainStreet.

“We do have a litterproblem in our city, on ourstreets and in our parks,”

he said. “Please do not lit-ter in our city. Don’t toss it.Can it. Litter affects all ofus.”

He’d also like to see acommunity developmentfacility for younger resi-dents, which would allowopportunities for educa-tional activities and sportsin a safe place.

During the meeting,Rachford and the six coun-cil members were swornin and City Attorney MikeDuncan went over some ofthe basic responsibilitiesof the city officials.

The next AlexandriaCity Council meeting willtake place on Feb. 5.

FORT THOMAS — Cityofficials had been con-tacted by at least five de-velopers expressing in-terest in restoring 10 for-mer U.S. Army officerhomes, so it came as a sur-prise when no companiessubmitted bids Monday.

When Monday’s 2 p.m.deadline for bids to reno-vate the homes behindTower Park passed, CityAdministrator Don Mar-tin found no offers.

With Ohio River views,the 1890s brick houses arethe oldest part of the for-mer fort. City officialsare working with the U.S.

Department of VeteransAffairs, owner of thehomes, on a plan to reno-vate them into privateresidences.

It’s the second time infour years the city struckout when asking compa-nies to submit bids to ren-ovate the officer homes.No bids were received in2011, but back then the ap-praised value was $2.4million for all 10 homes,Martin said. The ap-praised value has sincebeen lowered to $510,000,he said. City asking pricefor a minimum bid waslowered to $900,000 com-pared to 2011, Martin said.

“We believed by hav-ing this minimum bid re-duced from the $1.5 mil-lion it was previously itwas really going to attractsome interest,” he said.

Besides renovations, adeveloper will have toperform asbestos abate-ment, and build water andsewer infrastructure thatdoes not exist around thehouses now, Martin said.

“The city has said itdoes not want to be the de-veloper,” he said. “There

is too much risk.”Giving up isn’t in the

plans, Martin said. Meet-ing with developers tofind out what the barriersare and what the city cando to help through grantsor other assistance is thenext step, he said.

Bids had to be submit-ted by one company forall the homes, and that isnot likely to change, hesaid.

Asbestos abatementand building infrastruc-ture will likely need to bedone by one company,Martin said. A group ofdevelopers wantingtoorm a partnership com-pany to hire a company toperform asbestos abate-ment could work, he said.

Hopes are to have a re-vised bidding plan, if fea-sible, ready to be present-ed to council in a month,Martin said.

“It is hoped that thesehistoric homes can be re-stored to their originalgrandeur,” Martin said.

Prior to Monday’sdeadline for bids, New-port resident Mark Ram-ler, owner of Mansion HillProperties, predictedthere would be a stickershock for the city at thecost of performing therenovations.

Investing in the homeswill be worth the returnwhen renovations arecomplete, he said.

“In the end, I thinkthese houses are going tofetch some of the highesthome prices in FortThomas,” Ramler said.

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 ago I waswalking through our patch ofwoods when I came across alarge bucket nestled in thehillside. It was filled with silt soI decided to empty it.

No kidding, that bucket wasway heavier than it should have

been. The rea-son? A snappingturtle tumbledout from thebottom. It wasearly spring so itwas still hiber-nating. My firstthought wasturtle soup. Ipushed it backinto the bucketand had it hauledup the hill. Long

story short, no soup was madefrom that irritable creature. Welet it go and it headed down thehill toward the river.

That brings me to the singlesubject of today’s column: mockturtle soup. This will satisfy themany requests. Like goetta,mock turtle soup is a cherishedheirloom recipe here. The for-mer Cricket restaurant serveda version, and St. Rita’s schoolserves it at their festival everyyear. Ron’s Roost on the westside has it on their menu, also.

The original real turtle soupwas made from green sea tur-tles. They’re an endangeredspecies and most live in theAtlantic, Pacific and Indianoceans. Mock turtle soup orig-inated in England in the mid1800s. It later became popularin Germany. I don’t have roomfor all the recipes so check outmy website Abouteating.comfor more good ones.

Some original mock turtlesoups were made from calf’sbrains. OK, so I’m glad thatground beef is the meat ofchoice now. If you don’t want tomake it, Worthmore’s canned

mock turtle soup is a good bet. Ispoke with Phil Haock, whosegranddad started the businessin the ’20s. Phil said they sellhundreds of cases a week fromtheir Cincinnati facility. Somegoes to former Tristaters whocan’t go without their Worth-more. If you want to make yourown, here are two reader favor-ites.

JANUARY 22, 2015 • CAMPBELL COMMUNITY RECORDER • A9

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.”

Women fly combat aircraft,serve on combat ships, guard

Female service membersface the same risks as theirmale counterparts in today’smilitary operations.

They are also far less likelythan their male counterpointsto seek and receive the veter-ans benefits and services theyhave earned.

The Kentucky Departmentof Veterans Affairs is deter-mined to make 2015 the yearthat discrepancy ends.

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.

If you served in the military,you may have earned benefitsand services for veterans.

KDVA will help you obtainthose benefits and services, andwe will do it at no cost to you.Call 502-595-4447 or go towww.veterans.ky.gov.

How about women doing allof that and more?

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.

SILVER GROVE — ChristianPollitt achieved somethingthat only a small number of lo-cal basketball players get to doduring their senior year: Scorehis 1,000th career point athome during a victory.

The Silver Grove HighSchool senior reached the mil-lennium club Jan. 14 during theBig Trains’ 64-53 win overGamble Montessori.

“It was a great feeling, hav-ing the community behindme,” he said. “I got a standingovation and we won. It was agreat feeling.”

Pollitt, a senior averaging 12points per game, is one of fourplayers averaging eight pointsper game or more. The otherthree – junior guard RandyKuntz, senior guard AnthonyTurcios and senior forwardBilly Miller – all could getthere as well this season.

“It’s been great,” Pollittsaid. “We have a really great

connection. We all have eachother’s backs. When they getthere (to 1,000), I want to bethere for them and cheer forthem. I hope they have thesame feelings that I did.”

Miller, who averages 11 re-bounds per game, is a key sen-ior leader for the Trains inside.

“He’s quick to do what I askhim to do and he adjusts well.He blocks a ton of shots,” SGhead coach Howard Brown-stein said. “He’s unselfish to afault. I want him to shoot a littlebit more. He’s a complete teamplayer and a great kid.”

Brownstein, who spent theprevious three decades at oneof the smallest schools acrossthe river, Cincinnati CountryDay, has enjoyed taking overthe reins of Northern Kentuck-y’s tiniest KHSAA program.He admitted culture shock atthe prospect of playing districtseeding games next weekagainst big-school foes Camp-bell County and Scott, but hasenjoyed the effort his BigTrains have motored through.

Silver Grove is 7-8 overallthrough Jan. 17, and 4-1 in Divi-sion III of the Northern Ken-tucky Athletic Conference.They had a three-point loss atLudlow and have yet to playVilla Madonna.

“All these boys have adult-like responsibilities. They han-dle a lot,” Brownstein said.“They’re very mature com-pared to the typical 16-year oldI’m used to coaching. The kids

Campbell County wrestlingcoach Mike Bankemper consid-ers his Camels a better tourna-ment team than a dual meetteam. But here they are, back inthe Kentucky Wrestling Coach-es Association big-school stateduals tournament, Jan. 31 atUnion County.

The Camels took the recentstate duals qualifier in theirhome gym with a 45-23 win inthe final over second-seededRyle. The top-seeded Camelseliminated Simon Kenton, 60-14in the semifinals following a62-6 opening-round win againstDixie Heights, and repeated aschampions.

Campbell County won big-school state duals champion-ships in 1991, 2004 and 2013 andwas runner-up in 1990, 1998 and2002. Ryle also advanced to thestate event, which takes the top

two from each sectional. TheRaiders were state duals run-ners-up in 2003 and ’05. Theyhave never won.

Bankemper is cautiously op-timistic about the Camels’chances. Louisville St. Xavier isdefending champion.

“Because of the makeup ofour team, we have a betterchance to win the state tourna-ment than the state duals tour-nament,” said Bankemper, whois in his 33rd year. “But weknow it’s possible that we canwin state duals. We’re one of thetop four teams in the state whenwe’re healthy.”

The Camels have an 8-2 dualsrecord. They rank fourth in thekentuckywrestling.com teamduals rankings, and fourth inthe team individual rankings.They have 12 of a possible 14wrestlers ranked in the state’stop 25, including Austin Myers,

Newport’s Katlyn Hoeh jokeswith teammates aftergetting a strike Jan. 15 in awin over Covington Latin.

The 2005 Class A statechampionship season forNewport 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 feeling pret-ty good about ourselves,”said Bob Schneider, theThoroughbreds’ headcoach from 1966 through2009. His son, DaveSchneider, was offensivecoordinator. “That was aspecial year for all of us.We really came togetheras a team, and it startedus on a strong run we be-gan in the middle of thedecade.”

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 only forthe football team, but forour school,” said ZackKiernan, a 6-foot-6, 245-pound junior linemanthat season. “The bestthing was a lot of myfriends were out therewith me.”

Kiernan also playedon the 2006 NewCathstate championship teambefore heading to Louis-ville. He’s now a personaltrainer living in Cincin-nati. The crowning

achievement in 2005came after a premonitionexperienced by seniorquarterback Sam Diehl,who went on to George-town College after estab-lishing eight school pass-ing records his final year,including single-seasonpassing yards and touch-downs and career pass-ing yards and touch-downs.

“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 seniors at2 in the morning and toldthem we were going towin. It was something. Iremember 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 score

until 5:59 remained on along drive against mostlyNewCath reserves, cap-ping a ’Breds postseasonrun in which they won byan average margin of 34points. Head coachSchneider earned his300th career win in theregional final. Big-playperformances in the titlegame in all three phaseswere highlighted by ef-forts from Diehl, ScottGesenhues, Kevin Bue-ter, Josh Canafax andBrandon Kohrs.

“There were so manykids that did excellent,but Sammy was amaz-ing,” Bob Schneider said.“What I couldn’t believewas we were throwingthe ball so well in the finalin the pouring rain.”

Diehl had a hand infive of NewCath’s sixtouchdowns. He threwfor 256 yards with scor-ing passes of 16, 66, 35

and 32 yards, giving him2,502 passing yards and37 TDs on the season. Herushed for 51yards with a3-yard TD run in the sec-ond quarter, giving New-Cath a 28-0 halftime lead.Tailback Michael Vicarsran for 87 yards, puttinghim over 1,400 on the sea-son.

The ’Breds raced to a21-0 first-quarter lead be-ginning with the first oftwo Diehl TD passes toGesenhues, who had fivecatches for 91 yards, was6-for-6 on extra-pointkicks and scored 18points in the game.

“We were a very gooddefense that year withJustin Smith, JordanGrainger and Chip Burks(the top three tacklers),”said former defensive co-ordinator Dan Wagner,now the ’Breds’ headcoach. “I really wanted ashutout in that final, but Iwas pretty happy to getthe win.”

ALEXANDRIA — TheBishop Brossart boys bas-ketball team has alreadyturned the page.

The Mustangs had aheartbreaking 67-65 over-time loss to AugustaJan. 17. That denied theMustangs one of theirgoals, the chance to travelto Frankfort and experi-ence a run at the All “A”Classic championship.

Brossart is now 9-7 forthe season but has won sixof its last eight overall,with the two losses eachcoming by a bucket, in-cluding the 10th Region All“A” final.

“We’re getting better,”said head coach MikeCode. “We’ve won six ofour last eight. We’ve madegreat strides. We’ve shotthe ball real well the lasttwo weeks and we didn’tshoot as well (against Au-gusta). I’m real happy

with how we’ve pro-gressed.”

Senior forward Jona-than Zink had 22 pointsand eight rebounds in thefinal. Junior post playerJackson Crawford had 15points.

Brossart played fourgames in the All “A” re-gional, winning the first

three by an average of 38points before facing Au-gusta.

Zink averaged 16points and 8.5 rebounds inthe four games. Crawfordhad 20 points and 12boards in the semifinals.

“We got contributionsfrom so many differentguys,” Code said. “We hadfive different guys in dou-ble figures at some point.We had guys come off thebench in double figuresand other guys did verywell in playing theirroles.”

Zink averages 13points per game for theseason. Crawford andsenior wing player Spen-cer Hackworth average 11per game. Hackworth isone of Northern Kentuck-y’s top 3-point shooterswith 36 makes. Four otherplayers average betweenfive and eight points.

“We have good ballmovement, good posses-sions,” Code said. “Our

turnovers have been quitelow. (Those are) the keysto our program over thelast decade or so.”

The Mustangs’ sched-ule is light, with twogames in 14 days beforethe Mustangs host rivalNewport Central CatholicFeb. 5. Brossart will hostScott in a vital 37th Districtseeding game Feb. 13. Thegoal is using extra prac-tice to get ready for Feb-ruary.

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, has a weekly groupmeeting Friday morningsat Graeter’s Ice CreamParlor at the Trifectabuilding in Taylor Mill.

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,” he said.

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

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 connectwith. It’s not a randomthing,” she said. “Any or-ganizer can set up a meet-ing, but Clayton has a stra-tegic way of putting people

together. It’s not necessar-ily about doing businesswith people, but how youcan work together andbenefit each other. In theprocess, your businessbenefits as well.”

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 about

their businesses and whatthey’d like to achievethrough networking.

She said the Taylor Milllocation would be good, notonly for her, but for otherbusiness owners.

“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.”

NEWPORT — NorthernKentucky won’t get a newBrent Spence Bridgeacross the Ohio River thisspring but will get a newbridge across a sharktank.

Newport Aquarium an-nounced Wednesday itslatest attraction will be a

100-foot rope bridge thatwill graze the top of theaquarium’s 385,000-gallonshark tank. The bridgewill open in mid-April.

Beneath the bridge, an-other species of shark –the scalloped hammer-head – in April will join thesix species already swim-ming in the tank. Theaquarium plans to addfour to five of thesesharks, which can reach14 feet in length.

That would make thesescalloped hammerheadsamong the largest sharkspecies at the aquarium,

comparable to the nurseshark.

Such a population ofscalloped hammerheadswill make the NewportAquarium the only institu-tion in Northern Americato have more than one ofthese endangered sharks,said Newport AquariumExecutive Director EricRose.

“It’s just by definitionan awesome species to dis-play,” Rose said. “They’reabsolutely fantastic toview and see.”

Hammerheads areknown for their acrobatic

swimming and schoolingpatterns, he said.

The aquarium workedfor the past two years toacquire the scallopedhammerheads, said ChrisPierson, director of opera-tions at the aquarium.

While scalloped ham-merheads were recentlylisted as endangered, thehammerheads the aquari-um will get come from Ha-waii, where there’s a sus-tainable population, Pier-son said. He said this willgive the public a chance tocome close to an endan-gered species and maybewalk away with a greaterappreciation of nature.

“We’re bringing ani-mals in that are gorgeous,

beautiful animals,” Pier-son said. “It will give peo-ple an opportunity to getclose to them, and hope-fully give people an oppor-

tunity to have more appre-ciation for wildlife andmake changes in theirlives.”

The 17 sharks in New-port Aquarium’s tank cir-cled Rose on Wednesdayas he stood in a wet suit ona rock in the shark tank.

“This is a great addi-tion to the Newport Aquar-ium,” Rose said. “It’s go-ing to require a bit of brav-ery to come across. ... It isa completely new way toexperience and interactwith sharks, and in fact,there is no experience likethis in the world.”
