ALEXANDRIA —Girl Scouts from St.Mary School will get tomonkey around in aCincinnati Zoo commer-cial as part of their ef-forts to save gorilla hab-itats.

Members of GirlScouts of America Troop1949 are collecting usedcellphones to minimizemining of gorilla habi-tats for cellphone pro-duction. Coltan, a metal-lic ore that is heat-resis-tant and able to hold anelectric charge, is foundin most cellphones andmined especially in theDemocratic Republic ofthe Congo — a countryin central Africa.

Addison Rowe, a fifth-grader at St. Mary, saidshe doesn’t know muchabout coltan besides it isused in cellphones and isharming gorillas.

Collecting cell phoneslessens needs for cellphone makers to seekout new supplies of col-tan.

Collecting cellphones,with drop-off boxesinside St. Mary’s Catho-lic Church and school,started in Septemberand will continuethrough November.

“I think it’s a greatidea because it’s protect-ing the gorilla’s habitat,”Rowe said.

A Cincinnati Zoo com-mercial being filmedNov. 2 was scheduled tofeature Rowe and herfellow Scouts as a way toencourage people torecycle their cellphones,troop leader and parentSharon Wagner said.

Commercial cos-tumes for each girl in-cludes being a banana,Girl Scout, gorilla andzoo keeper, Wagner said.Rowe will be a GirlScout and her fellow

Scout Sarah Wagner willbe a gorilla.

“I already have themonkey costume I amprobably going to use,”Wagner said.

For the commercial,Wagner said she and theother Scouts are work-ing on a set of lyrics setto the tune of Disney’s “IWanna Be Like You”(The Monkey Song).

“We’re all going tosing a song,” she said. “Ithink it’s going to be tothe tune of the monkeytheme of The JungleBook.”

About 35 used cell-phones have been col-lected by the girls so farand the community isbeing asked to contrib-ute, Sharon Wagner said.

JANUARY 28, 2016 • CCF RECORDER • 3ANEWS

It is estimated that 90 million Americanssnore during sleep. While half of these peo-ple are “simple snorers,” the other halfmay have a serious sleep disorder called Ob-structive Sleep Apnea. Dr. Kitzmiller, of Cin-cinnati Dental Sleep Medicine, treats patientsevery day in his Milford office and shares an-swers to the most frequently asked questionshe receives.

Q: What is the difference between snoringand sleep apnea?A: “Snoring is the sound produced duringsleep by the vibration of the soft tissues in theupper airway (nose and throat). Obstructivesleep apnea is a medical condition where thesoft tissues of the throat collapse and blockthe airway during sleep. Most often, sleep ap-nea sufferers are reported to not only snore,but to stop breathing multiple times per hourand wake with a gasp.”

Q: Are there any health risks with sleep ap-nea?A: “Yes. In addition to excessive fatigue, un-treated sleep apnea can contribute to a num-ber of health conditions including high bloodpressure, diabetes, depression, weight gain,and morning headaches. Untreated sleep ap-nea has also been linked to heart attack andstroke.”

Q:How can I find out if it’s more than snoring?A: “Only a physician can diagnose sleep ap-nea. This is done with an overnight sleep test,either in a sleep facility or at home. After acomplimentary health screening in our officewe can guide you to an appropriate physicianfor further evaluation.”

Q:What are treatment options for snoring andsleep apnea?A: “Snoring solutions typically include weightloss and not sleeping on your back. Sleep ap-nea treatments included CPAP devices, OralAppliances, and surgery. In our office we treatour snoring and sleep apnea patients with anoral appliance, an FDA approved medical de-vice that fits over your teeth and holds thelower jaw forward, keeping the airway openwhile you sleep.”

Q: Does medical insurance cover any of thetreatment?A: “We have been very successful in using ourpatient’s medical insurance to cover a portionof the treatment fee. During the complimen-

COVINGTON – TheSecond Time AroundThrift Shop accepts hun-dreds of donations ofgently used itemsthroughout the year.

“We sort through thedonations and price themfor $1, $2, $3,” shop volun-teer manager CarolCleves said. It’s prettyroutine work and theitems are typically noth-ing out of the ordinary.

However, Cleves cameacross the donation of aframed picture of MickeyMouse a few months ago.In the bottom corner ofthe matte was an auto-graph addressed to “Bill.”

“It was difficult tomake out the signature,”Cleves said. “But I waspretty sure it said, ‘WaltDisney.’”

Cleves took the picturehome that night and askedher son to take a look.

He didn’t think the sig-nature said Walt Disney,but when he looked online,the signature appeared tomatch Disney’s. Cleves’son kept looking andstumbled upon the web-site of popular Disney col-lector and expert PhilSears. Sears offered tolook at the autograph andauthenticate it for free.Soon after they sent him aphoto of the autograph, heconfirmed it was genuineand offered to buy it for$2,500.

“I about fell out of mychair,” Cleves said.

That kind of money isjust what the strugglingthrift store needed tomake its average profitfor 2015. The Second TimeAround Thrift shop, locat-ed on Eastern Avenue inCovington, is an all-volun-teer operation. Its pro-ceeds benefit St. Eliza-beth causes such as teenvolunteer scholarships,comfort for infants withneonatal abstinence syn-drome and the pertussisor whooping cough co-cooning program. Due to alack of volunteers, thethrift shop has cut back onhours which has made adent in profits.

Still, Cleves “didn’tfeel right” selling the

autograph without the do-nor knowing its worth, shesaid.

The next day she con-tacted the donor, BethRedwine. Redwine’s fam-ily has a close relationshipwith the thrift shop. Hermother, Mary Ann Menke,helped to establish theshop. Redwine said shedidn’t know the value ofthe signature. The itemwas left to her after thedeath of a family friend,Bill Wirthlin.

Wirthlin, of Florence,died in 2012 at age 79 aftera long battle with cerebralpalsy. In his youngeryears, he formed a pen palrelationship with severalpeople; Walt Disney wasone of them, she said.

“He, with the help ofhis mother, had writtenletters to several celebri-ties,” Redwine said. “WaltDisney wrote back andtook a real interest in him.Walt even invited him andhis mother to be his guestsat Disneyland in Califor-nia. He gave them the VIPtreatment, even takingthem around the parkhimself. It meant a lot toBill. It was truly the highpoint of his life.”

When Redwine madethe donation of one ofWirthlin’s most preciousmemorabilia pieces, shesaid she had just hopedthat it would find its wayto someone who enjoyedDisney. She neverdreamed it would beworth what Phil Sears wasoffering. Redwine toldCleves to sell the auto-graph and use the profit tothe support St. Elizabethcauses.

“It’s a great way to re-member a remarkableperson’s life,” Redwinesaid. “Bill was a good man.The people he touched, hedid so in a strong way.”

Cleves said she isgrateful for Redwine andher family’s generosity.

“Because we had to beclosed so much last yearbecause of the shortage ofvolunteers, we wouldn’thave made our averageprofit and be able to do somany good things,”Cleves said. “This dona-tion means a lot to theshop, truly.”

Inside the small kitchenof the Community BibleChurch in Independence,Melanie Gibson pourswith precision the dyenamed “oxblood” into a

small tub filled with water.The intense-colored dye

diffuses quickly.Donning surgical gloves,

Gibson works swiftly too. Shedips her long, spaghetti-likeskein – or bundle – of Merinoyarn into the water.

“This is always a popularcolorway,” Gibson said as shedips the wool into the dye. “Icall it Lady Mary from theBBC show ‘Downton Abbey.’ Itlooks like something shemight wear.”

Gibson is a telemetry tech-nician at a local hospital. Sheobserves heart monitors. Butin her spare time, she diesyarn. And her business A YarnWell Spun has a following.

“Her eye for color is sim-ply awesome,” said JanetHaney, owner of Knitwits inCrescent Springs. “You reallyhave to see her hand-dyedwool. The colors are beautiful.There is simply no compari-son to the big-box acrylicyarn. They make beautifulsocks and one-of-a-kind sweat-ers.”

Gibson considers her skeinher canvas, and the colors shemixes her medium. “Myfriend says I look like a madscientist when I mix the col-ors,” she said as she poureddye into plastic cups for askein of yarn to be be cured ina crockpot of vinegar-water.

Gibson, of Elsmere, an avidreader who enjoys hiking andtraveling, names her color-ways after the places she hasvisited, the book and moviecharacters who have inspiredher and the hues that havestirred her in nature.

Some of her popular colorsare Berries n’ Cream, MountRainier, Times Square andblackberry vine. There is MayDay Basket and “The FourSisters” inspired by LouisaMay Alcott’s book.

A deep blue skein gets thename Atlantis. And an aquaand blue mixed skein gets thename Smeagol’s Birthday,named after the infamouscharacter from “The Lord ofthe Rings.”

Gibson works with fiberfrom sturdy wool to silk andmany skeins are one of a kind.Recently, she fell in love withDaniel, her friend’s sheep.

“His sweet personality andbeautiful fleece is what in-spired me,” she said. “I decid-ed I wanted to support small,family-owned fiber farms andbusinesses.”

Gibson has named her lineDaniel & Ewe, which will belocal fleeces spun at a smallfamily-owned mill in NorthCarolina. You can see her yarnat www.ayarnwellspun.com.

6 ozFLORENCE – Nobodyon council said no to a nee-dle exchange for heroinusers last Tuesday.

Mayor Diane E. Whalensaid council needs to heara vote of support fromBoone County FiscalCourt before more discus-sion or taking a vote.

St. Elizabeth Health-care CEO Garren Colvinand Dr. Lynne M. Saddler,district director of healthat Northern KentuckyHealth Department,pitched the need for a nee-dle exchange at FlorenceCity Council’s Jan. 19meeting.

Colvin and Dr. Saddlersaid a needle exchange isneeded for public healthbecause of the dangersposed by shared needles.

“We are trying to pre-vent an HIV epidemicfrom happening in North-ern Kentucky,” Dr. Sad-dler said.

The health depart-ment’s plan is to operateexchanges at existinghealth centers in eachcounty in Covington, Flor-ence and Newport.

“I think the FiscalCourt has to approve itfirst,” Whalen said.

There is no reason forthe city to take action ifthere is not county sup-port, she said.

“I think if it’s going tofall in line and everybody’sgot to weigh in on this orwe’ve got it all wrong andit needs to start over,”Whalen said.

Whalen said putting aneedle exchange in Flor-ence’s health center iscause for concern.

“While we realize it is aregional problem, we havethe only health centerthat’s next to an estab-lished neighborhood,” shesaid.

Colvin said about halfof expected needle ex-change participants are al-ready coming to healthcenters for other servicesincluding pregnancy andHIV testing.

Colvin said the threehealth centers will split upservice for about 375 newhealth center clients ex-pected to come just forneedles.

Dr. Saddler said a nee-dle exchange puts heroinusers in contact with thehealth care system –which can lead to more ad-

dicts seeking treatment.“Otherwise, they’re

just out there using, over-dosing and going to theemergency room,” Sad-dler said.

Councilman Mel Car-roll said for many peopletalking about a clean nee-dle exchange is personaland not a hypothetical dis-cussion.

“I’m not saying no to it-,”Carroll said. “I’m sayingI want to know more aboutthis issue and I’m open todiscussion.”

Carroll said he dealtclosely with many fam-ilies and students dealingwith addictions.

“I have addiction in myfamily,” he said.

Carroll said he knowsaddiction’s impact on indi-viduals and community. Itwill take “a community-wide solution,” he said.Carroll said he wants tosee regional consensus.

“We would be remiss ifwe put our head in the sandand thought this was an is-sue that only dealt withother people,” Carrollsaid.

The needle exchangewas one of the provisionsof a landmark heroin billto improve drug treat-ment and clamp down ondealers which was passedin March 2015 by the Ken-tucky legislature.

The bill requires threelevels of approval for sy-ringe exchange programs– Board of Health (whichpassed for Boone, Camp-bell, Grant and Kentoncounties on June 2015),city and county, said EmilyGresham Wherle, publicinformation administratorfor Northern KentuckyHealth Department. If theprogram is located in anunincorporated area, ap-proval would come fromthe Board of Health andthe Fiscal Court.

The city of William-stown in Grant Countypassed a resolution ap-proving syringe exchangein August; but NorthernKentucky Health Depart-ment has not yet gotten ap-proval from Grant CountyFiscal Court, she said.

"Our neighboringhealth department, ThreeRivers District, receivedapproval from the Pendle-ton County Fiscal Court,and is operating out of thePendleton County HealthCenter, which is in an unin-corporated area of thecounty," Wherle said.

JANUARY 28, 2016 • CCF RECORDER • 7ANEWS

I’m a softie when it comes to Mother Na-ture’s orphans. Especially where we live, atthe end of an old country road, and especiallyduring this frigid weather.

For the past several months we’ve beenvisited daily by a gray cat. “She” doesn’thang around the whole day, but we’ve noticedthe mice population in the garage this winteris zero.

During Sunday dinner the cat came to theback kitchen door. The grandkids peeked outto see. Will asked if she had a name. “No, wejust call her cat,” I told him. “I think Silky is a goodname,” Will said. So Silky it is.

The good thing about the name is it’s gender neu-tral so we’re safe if “she” turns out to be a “he.” Weusually give dry cat food, but today I gave her a bit ofsauteed ground beef when I was making this soup.

It’s the first time she allowed me to get closeenough to pet her – her way of saying thanks?

Tip from Rita’s KitchenGruyere is a creamy Swiss cheese worth

the price. Swap it out with Swiss if you need to.

Readers want to knowHow do I steep saffron?This spice is expensive. Place the threads

in a small amount of liquid for 10 minutes orso. The liquid will turn yellow. Add the liquid

to your recipe. Besides boosting flavor, steeping dis-tributes color more evenly.

Secret ingredient spicy 30-minute beefvegetable soup

I won’t pretend this is a new recipe. I’ve shared it before,but I always get requests to publish it again, particularly duringsoup weather.

So here it is, for Charlie, a Wyoming reader, and thatyoung couple I chatted with after church. I’ve changed therecipe a bit. This soup has a cult following. I’m not surprised.It’s really that good, and really that easy. Can you tell what thesecret ingredient is?

1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef (I used sirloin in the photorecipe)

1 heaping cup chopped yellow or white onion, not sweetonion

2 cloves garlic, minced1 jar chunky garden style pasta sauce2 cans low-sodium beef brothWater to taste (start with 1 or 2 soup cans of water and

go from there)10 ounce can tomatoes and chilies or 14.5 ounce diced

tomatoes if you don’t want it spicy1 pound or so frozen soup or mixed vegetables, thawed if

you have timeSeveral handfuls any fresh greensCheddar for garnish

Saute meat, onion and garlic together in pot until meat iscooked. Now add everything else but the greens. Bring to aboil and let simmer for about 30 minutes. Toss in greens andcook until just wilted, about a minute more.

Tip from Rita’s Kitchen: A potato masher works won-ders to break up the ground beef as it cooks.

Watch Rita! Check out my YouTube channel on my siteAbouteating.com to see me making the soup.

French onion soup with Gruyere croutons

I love this soup. It’s not complicated, just takes some timecaramelizing the onions. I use my food processor to slice them.

4-5 pounds large onions, sliced very thin1/2 to 1 stick butter6 cups low sodium beef broth or chicken broth8 slices French bread, sliced 1/2 inches, toasted on one

side1/2 pound Gruyere, grated

To toast bread: Brush very lightly with olive oil or spraywith olive oil spray. Run under broiler until golden on top, orbake in 400-degree oven.

Cook onions in butter over medium heat, stirring fre-quently, for 40 minutes or until golden brown. Add brothslowly, stirring constantly, until soup comes to a boil. Lower tosimmer, cover and cook 20 minutes. Season to taste. Fill ov-enproof bowls with soup. Place slice of bread, toasted sidedown, on top of each. Divide cheese among bread slices. Broiluntil cheese melts.

A8 • FORT THOMAS RECORDER • JANUARY 28, 2016

It’s been 10 months sinceGov. Steve Beshear signed theheroin reform bill, Senate Bill192, into law. One measurewas to allow, for the first timein Kentucky, operation ofsyringe access exchangeprograms to reduce the threatof infectious diseases spreadby intravenous drug use.

In the 10 months since thelaw was passed, staff at theNorthern Kentucky HealthDepartment have broughttogether partners from thecommunity and resourcesfrom across the country todevelop a model syringe ac-cess exchange program. Theproposed program is bothefficient and optimizes thepublic health impact of suchservices – their ability to con-nect IV drug users to thehealth care system and addic-tions treatment. It would oper-ate with existing staff at thehealth department’s countyhealth centers.

It received unanimousapproval from the DistrictBoard of Health. The programhas funding in place for itsfirst year of operation andstaff have received much ofthe required training.

In the 10 months since thelaw was passed, elected offi-cials in Louisville, Lexingtonand Pendleton County haveapproved such programs, andpublic health officials haveimplemented them. Louis-ville’s program opened inJune, Lexington and Pendle-ton County’s began in Septem-ber.

In the 10 months since thelaw was passed, NorthernKentucky’s IV drug usershave continued to share nee-dles. A survey conducted bythe health department overthe summer found that more

than 85 per-cent of userssurveyedshare needlesat least someof the time.IV drug usersindicated thatthey oftenshare needlesuntil theybreak or aretoo dull touse.

Since the law was passed,almost 800 people in NorthernKentucky have been diag-nosed with hepatitis C andmore than 100 have been diag-nosed with hepatitis B. North-ern Kentucky was featured ina New York Times article inJuly about its hepatitis Crates, which are the highest inthe nation. While a syringeaccess exchange programwon’t eliminate these viruses,it can reduce their spread.

In the 10 months since thelaw was passed, we have notseen a rise in HIV cases, ashappened in Scott County,Indiana, last spring. But thethreat exists. Our window ofopportunity to prevent suchan outbreak could close at anytime.

The approval of both thecity and county is requiredfor a program to operate.Only one group –Willliam-stown City Council – has con-sidered syringe access ex-change program and voted infavor, unanimously. WithoutGrant County’s approval,though, a program can’t oper-ate.

It seems that a publichealth issue, protectingNorthern Kentuckians fromthe spread of infectious dis-ease, has become political.That’s a shame.

Syringe access exchangeprograms have been oper-ating in other parts of thecountry for almost 30 years.Time and again, they havebeen shown to positively im-pact the health of the commu-nity. Such programs do notencourage people to startusing drugs or increase theiruse. They do not increasecrime in the neighborhoods inwhich they operate, either.

These programs are a triedand true public health in-tervention to reduce the bur-den of IV drug use. Besidesstopping the spread of dis-ease, syringe access exchangeprograms can connect IVdrug users with treatmentprograms. They can provideother health services likeimmunizations, pregnancytesting and overdose preven-tion kits. Syringe access ex-change programs are costeffective. For every $1 in-vested, up to $7 is saved inprevention of HIV treatmentcosts alone.

With the passage of SB 192last March, we now have ac-cess to a tool to stop some ofthe horrendous impacts of theheroin epidemic on our com-munity. After 10 months ofeducation and discussion, it’stime we put public health firstand implement a syringeaccess exchange program inNorthern Kentucky.

Why NKY can’t wait for needle exchange

Mina “Mike”KalfasCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST

Last week’s questionWhat do you make of Gov.

Matt Bevin’s plan to dismantlekynect, Kentucky’s health ex-change?

“Horrible idea! There areover 300,000 citizens who nowcan see a doctor. Without Ky-nect they will be back to theemergency room which is themost expensive care. Andwhich all of us end up paying.”

Edith Bentley, Cold Spring

I am dismayed by GovernorBevin’s move to dismantle thestate’s successful health insur-ance exchange, kynect. Why inthe world would we make itharder for Kentuckians toaccess information and sign upfor insurance by moving theminto the federal exchangewhen our own is designed ex-clusively to meet our needs?

Moreover, where will the esti-mated cost of $23 million todismantle kynect come from? Isee this as strictly a politicalmove, and not something thegovernor is doing for cost-savings or for the benefit ofthe citizens of Kentucky. It isbad policy perpetrated by avindictive and inexperienced

chief executive.Linda J. Nesbitt

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONWho will be President of theUnited States one year fromtoday? Why will he or she havewon?

Every week we ask readers aquestion they can reply to via email.Send your answers [email protected] withCh@troom in the subject line.

In response to Sen. WilSchroder’s article in support ofhis advocacy of the Senate Bill9 which would repeal the pre-vailing wage for the construc-tion workers on KentuckySchool Projects. In an era offunding shortfalls, it is under-

standable toconsider areasto cut costs.However, inthis situationrepealing theprevailingwage for con-struction work-ers would neg-atively impacttheir familieswho sent theirchildren to

Kentucky’s public schools.Prevailing is defined as the

hourly wage, usual benefits andovertime, paid to the majorityor average of workers, laborersand mechanics within a partic-ular geographic area. The pre-vailing wage promotes andencourages a skilled workforce on our public buildings.This brings up the question ofwhether Kentucky wants lesserskilled craftspeople to build ourchildren’s schools.

It should be noted that thereare also other professionalswho work on school construc-tion projects. These profession-als include architectural andengineering firms who canearn from 4 percent to 15 per-cent of the total cost of theconstruction of the project. Itshould be noted that owners ofconstruction managementfirms and/or prime contractorsusually make profits in excess10 percent to 15 percent of thecost of the building.

I am not advocating cuttingfees for architectural and engi-neering firms or profits forcontractors. However, if Sena-tor Schroder and his Repub-lican colleagues are going tocut wages for the constructionworkers; then fundamentalfairness requires that all feesand profits related to schoolconstruction should be cut bystatute.

With the majority of Ken-tuckians supporting raising theminimum wage, one wonderswhy Kentucky Republicans andSenator Schroder support re-

pealing Kentucky’s prevailingwage law. This law would nega-tively impact over 75,000 Ken-tucky construction workers andtheir families. Data indicatesthat construction workers instates that have repealed theprevailing wage make 22 to 25percent less on average thanconstruction workers who workin states with a prevailingwage.

In studies of states wherethe prevailing wage was re-pealed, in addition to lowerwages for construction workersthere was this impact:

1. Loss of substantial stateincome and sales tax revenues;

2. Skilled construction work-ers left these states and therewas a shift to a less-skilled andeducated construction laborforce;

3. Cost overruns on stateroad construction tripled in thedecade following repeal, due inpart to diminished skill of thelabor force;

4. Occupational injuries inconstruction rose by 15 percentin states which repealed pre-vailing wage laws; and

5. Construction trainingdropped by 40 percent in thestates which repealed prevail-ing wage laws.

Unfortunately, Kentucky isalready a state where in manyregions where wages are lowerthan the rest of the UnitedStates. Repealing Kentucky’sprevailing wage laws are goingto drive wages and incomeseven lower for many Kentuck-ians.

There are other ways to savemoney in government. Repeal-ing the prevailing wage is notone of those ways. In fact, re-pealing the prevailing wagecould cost the commonwealthmore in the long run.

It should be noted that stateslike Mississippi, Louisiana andKansas are states without pre-vailing laws. All three of thosestates are having problemswith financing education. Mis-sissippi and Louisiana arestates at the bottom of the eco-nomic and education ladder inthe United States. Should Ken-tucky join them at the bottomof America’s education andeconomic ladder?

Prevailing wagerepeal a mistake

Paul WhalenCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST

We arrived in Bremerha-ven, Germany, in August 1965after crossing the Atlantic onthe USNS Geiger, a Navytransport ship.

My family was moving toLandstuhl, Europe’s largestAmerican hospital, where mydad would continue his careeras an Army officer and psychi-atric social worker. I was 11years old, the middle child ofseven, though my sister Marywas starting college in St.Louis.

From Bremerhaven, wetraveled 500 kilometers bytrain to Frankfurt. We shareda train car with two elegantwomen who broke out flasksof what I imagined was bran-dy that afternoon. I wouldlearn later, mainly from mypiano teacher Frau Rudeka,that taking sips at an appoint-ed time was common (thoughin her case it might havestemmed from my playing).

The Frankfurt train stationwas an architectural marvel.We had our first Germanmeal: brats, broetchen and acarbonated lemon drink calledlimonade. It was wonderful.

Waiting for our train toLandstuhl, we had a conve-nient and welcoming place towait, the USO. In retrospect it

was awfullynice for mymom and dad,travel ordersin hand andsix bewil-dered Armybrats in tow,to chat withvolunteersabout what toexpect next

on our journey.Let me take this opportuni-

ty to congratulate the USO onits 75th anniversary on Feb. 4.

Kathy Williams, a volun-teer, is manager of the USOCenter at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Interna-tional Airport. She shared withme some background andhistory of the United ServiceOrganizations for NationalDefense.

President Franklin DelanoRoosevelt on Feb. 4, 1941, chal-lenged six private organiza-tions – the YMCA, YWCA,National Catholic CommunityService, the National JewishWelfare Board, the Traveler’sAid Association and the Salva-tion Army – to create an or-ganization that would keepservice members in touchwith the bonds of family andcomforts of home, no matter

where or under what condi-tions they served.

Roosevelt chose Thomas E.Dewey to serve as the firstUSO Campaign Chairman.Dewey resigned to becomegovernor of New York, andRoosevelt soon selected one ofhis political rivals as the sec-ond USO Campaign Chairman,setting a tone of nonpartisanunity. Prescott S. Bush, even-tual father of one president,grandfather of another, ralliedAmericans around the USOand raised millions of dollars.

Today, with 600 employeesand 30,000 volunteers, Kathysaid, the USO provides pro-grams, entertainment and ser-vices at nearly 200 locationsworldwide including Afghani-stan, Kuwait, United ArabEmirates, Germany, Italy, Ja-pan, Guam, South Korea andDjibouti. USO Centers werevisited more than 7 milliontimes by service members andtheir families in 2014.

FDR indeed had great fore-sight to create the USO in 1941.

“Not by machines alone willwe win the war,” he said.

FT. THOMAS - Highlands HighSchool’s swim team continues to movein the right direction, with no signs ofslowing down.

Once again, the Bluebirds have rec-ord-setting numbers of team members.That increased competition has onlyfueled more success in the pool forAmanda Johnson’s squad.

The boys team is at an all-time highof 33 swimmers. They won the QuintetMeet against Scott, Ryle, Dixie, and Si-mon Kenton and placed second at theScott Eagle Classic, the program’s topfinishes in those events in recent years.The girls team placed second at both in-vitationals and defeated Cincinnati An-derson convincingly in a head-to-headmeet. The combined team finished infirst place in both invitationals, fueledby top-to-bottom performances.

“We are a very well-rounded teamthat is anchored by our depth,” saidJohnson. “For example, the combinedteam won the Scott Eagle Classic with-out a first-place finish. This demon-strates how the team is able to scorepoints as a team rather than relying onjust a couple individuals.”

The combination of depth and talentthat has fueled this year’s squad hasalso been the key to the program’s sus-tained success during Johnson’s tenure.

“The key to sustaining the program’ssuccess is to continually grow as a teamin the areas of both talent and depth,”she said. “Our roster has grown signifi-

cantly in the past six years that I havecoached at Highlands. The level of tal-ent has also greatly increased over theyears.”

To keep that momentum going, theBluebirds continue to rely on an infu-sion of talented young swimmers step-ping up and contributing at the varsity

level early on. This year, eighth-graderCaroline Sand and freshman BrendanConley have been two such impressiveyoung competitors.

“We have had some younger swim-mers really step up which is exciting,not just for this season but for the fu-ture of the team,” said Johnson, who ex-pects both Sand and Conley to makewaves at the regional and state meets.

Those two youngsters have contrib-uted points in both individual and relayevents so far this season. The pro-gram’s six seniors continue to set thetone week in and week out. Their leader-ship, coupled with the growing num-bers of talented young swimmers, haveHighlands poised to make a splash inthe postseason.

“The six seniors that we have thisyear know the expectations and havebeen working hard all year to accom-plish team and individual goals,” saidJohnson. “They lead by example, moti-vating the younger athletes to workhard to achieve their personal best.”

After winning the Region Four com-bined championship last season, theBluebirds will try to repeat as regionalchamps in the realigned Region Seventhis season.

Villa Madonna Academy is a hidden gem cel-ebrating a distinguished history in the com-munity. Since 1904, students have been part of a Benedictine tradition honoring the values of scholarship, service, stewardship, hospitality, respect and prayer. These values form the cor-nerstone of the community – a community of Faith, Knowledge and Service continually grow-ing in academic and athletic excellence.

The Villa community partners with parents, from the very first meeting, to provide a student-centered learning environment that challenges each child to reach his or her fullest potential. Villa’s dedicated faculty and staff ignite a love of learning through a curriculum based on the interdependence of all academic disciplines. Our 9:1 student-to-teacher ratio allows for in-dividualized instruction to meet the academic needs of each student through all grades.

Villa Madonna’s students are prepared to be global citizens through a world language pro-gram that starts in kindergarten; an exciting, expanding STEM program; and an engaging arts program. Teachers incorporate technology at all grade levels through the use of iPads, Smart-boards, and computer classes to engage the stu-dents and expand the curriculum. Students in grades 6-12 benefit from a 1:1 iPad program al-lowing all students the advantage of technology to experience learning beyond textbooks and classroom walls. And yet, Villa Madonna’s com-mitment to excellence in reading and writing has students practicing cursive and diagram-ming sentences to help them become confident communicators.

The benefits of a Villa education are realized in the well-rounded education one receives. The tangible results of the program include stan-dardized test scores consistently well above the national average at each grade level, and the millions of dollars awarded annually to its grad-uating seniors. Beyond test scores and scholar-ship dollars, students who leave Villa Madonna’s impressive campus do so with a sense of belong-ing to something bigger. They are young men and women committed to giving back. Villa’s students in grades K-12 log thousands of service hours annually as they live the Benedictine val-ues that are an integral part of the Villa educa-tion.

Villa Madonna is also a recognized school on the court and on the field. The athletic program be-gins in elementary school, with approximately 80 percent student participation. Villa’s inclu-sive teams allow all students an opportunity to learn and play while still being competitive. Multiple high school teams have gone on to state and regional competition, and graduating stu-dent athletes often participate at the collegiate level.

Villa Madonna’s students come from all over the Tristate with diverse religious, academic, and cultural backgrounds. Yet all are welcomed and challenged in the unique education model.

If you are exploring options for your child’s ed-ucation, whether for kindergarten, junior high, high school, or somewhere in between, we invite you to visit Villa. For more information about the school, please visit villamadonna.org or con-tact Janet Baugh, director of admissions, at 859-331-6333 ext. 139 to schedule a personal tour.

“I came out with a lotof energy. I was ready togo,” Weyer said. “Mymind was on this for twodays. We’ll have a toughroad down there. Wewant to win our fourth ina row but we have to takeit one game a time.”

Since Y2K, NewportCentral Catholic has keptthe title of Ninth RegionAll “A” Classic championon its campus for most ofthose years. After HolyCross won its sixth All“A” regional title in 1999,NewCath won 12 of the 17tournaments since. HCwon once since then, in2012, and claimed theoverall state champion-ship that same year.

Lexington Christianwas a heavy favorite towin the 11th on Jan. 25.

“First round will betough,” said NCC headcoach Ron Dawn. “Lex-ington Christian, we’veplayed them the last twoyears and it was our bestgame the last two years.That’s not going to beeasy. Overall it’s asstrong as the ‘A’ state hasbeen. There are seven oreight teams that are pret-ty good.”

The ’Breds and Indi-ans played well and fast-

paced from the openingtip. Holy Cross led 10-6 ona 3-poiinter by Bezold,who had five points in thefirst quarter. The teamswere tied at 15-15 afterone period.

Things turned early inthe second period. Weyerhit a 3-pointer on NCC’sfirst possession to putNewCath up 18-15. A min-ute into the period, Be-zold went down at mid-court following a colli-sion with a NewCathplayer. Bezold was un-able to put any weight onhis right ankle and washelped off the court.

“I know it was a big let-down for them when Be-zold got hurt,” Dawn said.“He’s a big factor. Theyreally stepped up andplayed hard after that but

eventually it wears onyou. He does so manythings for them thatwhen you take him out,it’s tough. He handles theball, he shoots the ball.He does everything forthem.”

NewCath scored thenext eight points. Weyerstole the ball at midcourtand sprinted in for a pow-erful dunk, then added a3-pointer to make it 23-15.With under five minutesto play in the half, Indi-ans guard Erich Jaku-bowski tried to shoot a 3-pointer from the corner.NCC junior Luke Moevesrecovered from an off-balance defensive posi-tion to take the ball awayfrom Jakubowski as hehoisted it up. Moevesquickly got the ball into

the frontcourt, wheresenior John Ludwig hit a3-pointer to end an 11-0run for NCC. NCC took itsbiggest lead of the half at29-17 when Weyer passedout of a double-team inthe low post to sopho-more Stephen Pangallo,who hit a trey.

HC clawed to withinthree points at 36-33 inthe third. Weyer hit twofree throws and thenmade a tough pass to Bri-an Anderson on the fastbreak, and it was 40-33.Schrand hit a 3-pointer,then NCC ended the peri-od on baskets by Weyerand Brennan Hall to leadby eight, 44-36, afterthree periods.

“Ben does so much forus at both ends,” Dawnsaid. “He changes somany shots, towards theend they were hesitantabout even going up be-cause he had blocked afew. He rebounds likecrazy, he helps on thepress. He does a lot ofthings. He can score in-side and out.

“All year we’ve beentalking to him. We tellhim you’re the one. Theylook up to you. You’ve gotthe most experience. Youhave to be the hardestworker in practice. It’snice when your best play-er is the hardest worker,and he is. And the kidssee that.”

Thomas More Collegedefensive coordinatorChris Norwell usuallylooks forward to his team’sannual end of season ban-quet. This year, he couldnot wait for it to wrap up.

He was eager to get infront of a television to seeif his younger brother An-drew and the CarolinaPanthers could earn aberth in Super Bowl 50.

Following a 49-15 winover the Arizona Cardi-nals, Andrew Norwell,Carolina’s starting leftguard and a 2010 AndersonHigh School graduate, willbe the first former Red-skin to play in a SuperBowl.

The quiet Andrew, theyoungest of Ivar and Ju-lia’s seven children, wasshowing emotion when hisbrother spoke to him onMonday.”You could tell hewas excited,” said Chris.“He’s pretty jacked up.”

All of Anderson Town-ship is pumped to watchthe Summit Elementaryproduct play on football’sbiggest stage. Few are asexcited as Andrew’s for-mer coaches.

“As a high school foot-ball coach, it’s really amaz-ing to see one of your for-mer players get to be astarter in the Super Bowl.It’s so exciting to watchhim play, and to see himplay at such a high level isawesome,” said Redskinsoffensive line coach MattStanyard. “As a coach, youreally love it when any ofyour former players havesuccess in life.”

Prior to the 2014 NFLdraft, Stanyard had a con-versation with his star pu-pil. The coach knew hisformer player had the gritand determination to suc-ceed at the next level ifgiven the opportunity. Hesaw how Norwell over-came a leg injury to be-come a leader at OhioState.

“He’s the kind of playeryou dream about coach-ing. He earned every bit ofit,” said Stanyard. “He has

played so well this season– it has been a joy to watch.It’s really a proud momentfor everyone at AndersonHigh School.”

The Super Bowl will bethe 23rd game Norwellstarts for Carolina.

“It means a lot to theAnderson football pro-gram to have Andrew Nor-well playing in the SuperBowl,” said former Red-skins head coach JeffGiesting. “He has workedextremely hard to get tothe level he is at and Iwould like to think that An-derson football helped himachieve the things he hasaccomplished at OhioState and with the Caroli-na Panthers.”

After helping lead theRedskins to the 2007 Divi-sion II state championshipas a sophomore and a run-ner-up finish in 2008, Nor-well injured his leg andmissed most of his seniorseason. He returned to thefield in time to contributeat Ohio State. The Buck-eyes posted three 12-winseasons during his fouryears.

Norwell started 39games and earned firstteam All-Big Ten honorsfollowing his junior andsenior seasons. Althoughhe was not selected in the2014 NFL draft, those whoknow him well were notsurprised he was able tofind a team.

“He was always a hardworker and great team-mate and from watchinghim the last several yearsin college and the NFL heis still doing those thingsto help his team,” saidGiesting.

“It will be exciting forour students and staff towatch him play and realizeagoal. There will be a lot ofpride and excitement atAHS over the next twoweeks,” said Andersonprincipal Mike Overbey.“We are very proud of An-drew for being in the Su-per Bowl and will cele-brate it. We are even moreproud of the path that hetook to get there showingthat perseverance andhard work pay off.”

Like it or not, winterbrings the damagingeffects of snow and ice totrees and shrubs. Wetsnows are bad, but freez-ing rain is often worse.Ice storms typically startas warm rainfalls throughrapidly cooling air atground level. This resultsin rain quickly turning toice on all exposed sur-faces. Freezing rain isespecially serious onevergreens and decid-uous species that havenot shed all their foliage.

Ice is heavy. A halfinch on a power line canweigh 500 pounds. Fortrees this can amount to aweight increase of 30times. Corrective pruningand replacement are theonly solutions once break-age has occurred. But,are there options to pre-vent breakage?

The natural tendencyis to protect plants byshaking the ice and snow

from thebranches.Unfortu-nately, thiscan causelong-termdamage.As icebends thebranches,fluids inconductive

tissues are still liquid.Only later do they freeze.Shaking damages theconductive tubes andresults in air pocketscalled embolisms or cav-itation that will neveragain be able to conductwater and mineral ele-ments. The result is thatplants become stressed,grow poorly, and sufferdesiccation making themmore likely to be attackedby diseases and insects.

The best recommenda-tion for plants covered inwet snow or ice is to donothing. If branches are

in imminent danger ofbreaking, ice can be melt-ed with cold water from asprinkler. (Warm or hotwater damages plants.)Using cold water to meltice is with the under-standing that both willrefreeze on the ground.This should never be usedwhere ice is likely toaccumulate on walks orroads.

Quick tip: Trees andconcrete are both easilydamaged by deicing salts.Use sand instead of salt,especially near such sen-sitive plants as arborvi-tae, beech, holly, dog-wood, hemlock, Scotchpine and white pine.

Are you required to have an attorney to repre-sent you in family court? The answer is no; youare not required to acquire an attorney to rep-resent you. In fact, you are allowed to representyourself, an act often referred to as pro se (with-out an attorney).

However, often it is a good idea to hire an at-torney because that person can help you duringan otherwise confusing and emotional time. Theattorney can help:

1. Navigate the legal issues that arise.2. Is familiar with the local rules of the Court.3. Elicits the necessary evidence to prove your

side of the case.4. Help manage emotions.5. Make sure that your best interests are

always at the forefront and not clouded bythose emotions.

OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OFFICIAL PUBLICATION

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

2016 ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE PLANPLEASE TAKE NOTICE that Kentucky Utilities Company (“KU”) is filing with the Kentucky Public

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

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

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

Lastly, KU is seeking an order approving an amended compliance plan for purposes of recoveringthe costs of new pollution control facilities through its Environmental Surcharge tariff. These projects are re-quired for KU to comply with the federal Clean Air Act as amended, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’snew rule on the Disposal of CCR from Electric Utilities, the Mercury Air Toxics Standards, and other environmen-tal requirements that apply to KU facilities used in the production of energy from coal. In addition to the projectsdescribed above, additional projects in KU’s 2016 Environmental Compliance Plan include installing improve-ments to the Wet Flue Gas Desulfurization systems on Ghent Unit 2 and installing improvements to the mercury-related control equipment of Ghent Units 1-4, thereby allowing additive injections to mitigate mercury emissions.The total capital cost of the new pollution control facilities for which KU is seeking recovery at this time isestimated to be $640 million. Additional operation and maintenance expenses will be incurred for certain projectsin KU’s 2016 Environmental Compliance Plan and are costs that KU is requesting to recover through the envi-ronmental surcharge in its application.

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

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

Comments regarding KU’s 2016 Environmental Surcharge Plan and Application may be submittedto the Public Service Commission through its Web site or by mail to the Public Service Commission, Post OfficeBox 615, Frankfort, Kentucky 40602.

Any corporation, association, body politic or person may, by motion within thirty (30) days afterpublication, request leave to intervene in Case No. 2016-00026. That motion shall be submitted to the PublicService Commission, 211 Sower Blvd., P.O. Box 615, Frankfort, Kentucky, 40602, and shall set forth the groundsfor the request including the status and interest of the party. Intervention may be granted beyond the thirty (30)day period for good cause shown, however, if the Commission does not receive a written request for interventionwithin thirty (30) days of initial publication, the Commission may take final action on the application. Any personwho has been granted intervention may obtain copies of the Application and testimony by contacting KentuckyUtilities Company at 220 West Main Street, Louisville, Kentucky, 40202, Attention: State Regulation and Rates.

A copy of the Application and testimony will be available for public inspection on KU’s website (http://www.lge-ku.com), on the Commission’s website (http://www.psc.ky.gov), and in paper medium Monday throughFriday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 pm at the office of Kentucky Utilities Company, 100 Quality Street, Lexington, Kentucky40507 or the Commission’s offices located at 211 Sower Boulevard, Frankfort, Kentucky, after January 29, 2016.

COMBINED NOTICENOTICE TO PUBLIC OF NO SIGNIFICANT EFFECT ON THE ENVIRONMENT AND

NOTICE TO PUBLIC OF REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS

Date: January 28, 2016Applicant: City of Newport, KentuckyAddress: 998 Monmouth St., Newport, Ky 41071 Telephone: 859-292-3666

TO ALL INTERESTED AGENCIES, GROUPS AND PERSONS:

On or about February 15, 2016 the City of Newport, Kentucky will request the Kentucky De-partment for Local Government to release federal funds under Title I of the Housing andCommunity Development Act of 1974 (PL 93-383) for the following project:Project Name: Home Ownership Development ProjectPurpose of Project: Construction of 6 single family homes and rehabilitation of 2 existinghomes Project Location: 901 Central Avenue, 1007 Isabella Street, 224 West 10th Street, 9-33 West13th StreetProject Census Tracts: Census Tract 505 (901 Central), Census Tract 506 (1007 Isabella, 224West 13th) Census Tract 525 (9-33 West 13th )

It has been determined that such request for release of funds will not constitute an actionsignificantly affecting the quality of the human environment and accordingly, the City ofNewport, Kentucky has decided not to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (PL-91-190). These reasons for thisdecision are:1.Kentucky Heritage Council approval will be obtained before start ofconstruction/rehabilitation.2. Project activities will comply with applicable zoning and building code requirements.3. Public utilities are in place and adequate to meet projected service demands from theproject.4. Environmental assessment found no activities creating permanent negative environmen-tal impacts.

An Environmental Review Record (ERR) respecting the within project has been made bythe City of Newport, Kentucky which documents the environmental review of the projectand more fully sets forth the reasons why an EIS is not required. The ERR is on file at theCustomer Service Desk, 2nd Floor, Newport City Hall, 998 Monmouth Street, Newport, Ken-tucky and may be inspected and reviewed at that address during normal office hours. Nofurther environmental review is proposed to be conducted prior to the request for releaseof funds.

All interested agencies, groups or persons disagreeing with this decision are invited to sub-mit written comments for consideration by the City of Newport, Kentucky to Mayor JerryR. Peluso, City Hall, 998 Monmouth Street, Newport, Kentucky 41071. Such written com-ments must be received at the above address on or before 4:30 pm, prevailing local timeon February 12, 2016.

All such comments so received will be considered and the City of Newport, Kentucky shallnot request the release of federal funds or take any administrative action on the withinproject prior to the date and time specified in the preceding sentence.

The City of Newport, Kentucky will undertake the project described above with Communi-ty Development Block Grant funds. The City of Newport, Kentucky is certifying to theState that the City of Newport, Kentucky and Jerry R. Peluso, its Mayor, in his capacity asEnvironmental Certifying Officer, consent to accept the jurisdiction of the federal courts ifan action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to environmental reviews, deci-sion making and action; and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. The legal ef-fect of this certification is that upon its approval the City of Newport, Kentucky may usethe Community Development Block Grant funds and the State and HUD will have satisfiedtheir responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. The State willaccept an objection to its approval only if it is on one of the following bases:(a) That certification was not in fact executed by the City’s Certifying Officer.(b) The City has failed to make one of the two findings pursuant to S58.41 or to make thewritten determination decision required by SS578.57, 58.53 or 58.64 for the project, as appli-cable.(c) The City has omitted one or more of the steps set forth at Subparts F and G for thepreparation and completion of an EA.(d) No opportunity was given to the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation or its Exec-utive Director to review the effect of the project on a property listed on the National Regis-ter of Historic Places, or found to be eligible for such listing by the Secretary of the Interi-or, in accordance with 36 CFR Part 800.(e) The recipient has committed funds or incurred costs not authorized by this part beforerelease of funds and approval of the Environmental Certification by HUD or the State.(f) Objections have been made by a federal agency.

Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required proceduresset forth at 24 CFR Part 58 and must be addressed to the Department for LocalGovernment, 1024 Capital Center Drive, Frankfort, Kentucky 40601.

Objections to the release of funds on bases other than those stated above will not be consid-ered by the State. No objection received after 4:30 pm prevailing local time on March 2,2016 will be considered by the State.
