‘I now understand why college athletes commit suicide,’ ex-NKU basketball player says Kate Murphy Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Shar’Rae Davis was at the top of her game and ready to win a championship her senior year at Northern Kentucky University. She says that season turned disastrous when the new women’s basketball coach, Camryn Whitaker, pitted the team against her and used her medical condition as punishment for her and her teammates. Davis has Crohn’s disease, which causes unexpected, urgent trips to the bathroom. Sometimes they came in the middle of practice or during the national anthem. Other times she had to be hospitalized and would miss practice, which then resulted in sitting on the bench. “It made me feel hopeless,” Davis said in an interview. “Like ‘wow, there’s nothing I can do to ﬁ x currently what I have.’” One day in the middle of a drill, Davis had to run out of practice suddenly to get to the bathroom. Whitaker blew her whistle and demanded the team “get on the line.” Whitaker yelled down the hallway at Davis and to other players that they were going to run sprints until Davis returned. Davis and other players say Whitaker also banned the team from eating with Davis at restaurants on away trips, sitting next to her on the bus and even sharing a hotel room. They say it was known on the team that if you associated with Davis you were going to be exiled, lose playing time and be berated. “I felt like I had this virus,” Davis said. “People were afraid.” Davis remembers the night an assistant coach scribbled out her teammates’ name on the list of roommates so that Davis would be alone. “I just started crying,” said Davis, who was a senior at the time. “She tried her hardest to break me away from the team.” Davis, who’s now 24 and living back home in Michigan, was afraid to speak

out about her experience at NKU and didn’t think anyone would listen. Then last week, her former teammate Taryn Taugher posted an article on Odyssey describing the “emotional abuse” and “bullying” Davis and the team faced. “I just don’t want this to happen to anyone else again,” Davis said. “This isn’t about me. It’s about the future. And it’s time for us to rally together and be together on this, because it’s the truth.” Three other former players have backed up Taugher and Davis’ claims of verbal attacks and fear of Whitaker. Meanwhile, eight current NKU players posted a letter on Odyssey on the weekend, saying they backed the coach.

The letter signed by players Grace White, Taylor Clos, Grayson Rose, Jazmyne Geist, Kailey Coﬀ ey, Molly Glick, Ally Niece and Emmy Souder does not address the speciﬁ cs charged by Taugher and other former players. But the letter, which also never names Whitaker, added that the demands and hardships the team has faced “are not and have not exceeded the expected amount” for a Division I athlete. None of the eight could be reached for comment. The university released a statement about 24 hours after Taugher’s article went online saying it “is aware of complaints surrounding the women’s bas-

ketball program.” “Our students’ voices will be heard and the athletics oﬃ ce will continue to monitor and assess our programs, taking appropriate corrective actions as needed,” NKU spokeswoman Anna Wright said in the statement. NKU says it is investigating the claims, but Taugher and Davis said they have not been contacted by anyone in the administration, athletics or the Title IX oﬃ ce. Whitaker was not available for comment or an interview. Taugher, a 22-year-old senior, started See COACH, Page 4A

Letter: Eight NKU basketball players support coach Max Londberg Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

In a joint letter, eight members of the Northern Kentucky women’s basketball team stood by their coach, who has come under scrutiny after allegations of abuse by some of her players. The joint letter was published Saturday, ﬁ ve days after senior Taryn Taugher accused Coach Camryn Whitaker of emotionally abusing her and her teammates. “We didn’t want to be in the same room alone with her for fear that she would degrade us,” Taugher wrote about Whitaker in The Odyssey, a blog site popular with college students.

How to submit news

“What used to be joy and passion quickly became fear and numbness as I stepped into practice.” Last Monday, three players mentioned in Taugher’s column conﬁ rmed her accounts on social media. Taugher accused Whitaker of isolating, humiliating and belittling players. Whitaker once shamed a former teammate with Crohn’s disease because she needed to use the restroom during practice, Taugher claimed. And she accused Whitaker of lobbing insults at players, calling them lazy, asking if they “have a brain” and threatening to revoke scholarships. But Taugher’s teammates gave a different viewpoint of their coach, writing

The players who signed the letter are: Grace White, Taylor Clos, Grayson Rose, Jazmyne Geist, Kailey Coﬀ ey, Molly Glick, Ally Niece and Emmy Souder.

NKU opens outside review of women’s basketball program, cites ‘new concerns’ Kate Murphy Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Northern Kentucky University said Monday night it will conduct an “independent, external review and assessment” of the women’s basketball program in response to new concerns raised by former student-athletes. NKU spokeswoman Anna Wright told The Enquirer that the new statement was in response to the latest story on players’ claims of “emotional abuse” by head coach Camryn Whitaker. “Northern Kentucky University values all of its stu-

They also expressed eagerness to continue competing on behalf of the university. “We respect and value the fact that every individual has the right to voice their opinions based on their personal experiences,” they wrote. “In support of our coach and program, we believe it is important to share our experiences regarding these recent allegations.” The letter does not directly address speciﬁ c allegations made by Taugher, who earlier told The Enquirer

dents, including its student-athletes,” Wright said in the statement. She did not explain the new concerns that the university is looking into. In interviews with The Enquirer, four former Norse women’s players and one of their fathers describe a “toxic environment’ of intimidation, manipulation and humiliation.” The ex-players detailed examples of verbal attacks of players’ characters, using one player’s medical condition as a form of punishment and isolating certain players from the rest of the team. The claims were ﬁ rst made public in an article written by former player Taryn Taugher on the Odyssey, an

online media company that publishes crowd-sourced material and is popular among college students. About a week later, eight current NKU players posted a letter on Odyssey, saying they backed the coach and that the demands and hardships the team has faced “are not and have not exceeded the expected amount” for a Division I athlete. The letter did not address the speciﬁ cs charged by Taugher and other former players. None of the eight current players could be reached for comment. Whitaker also has not been available for comment.

she came forward to support her teammates and future recruits. “These verbal attacks were mostly behind closed doors, in her oﬃ ce, on what she liked to call the ‘crying couch’ where it was your word against hers,” Taugher wrote. “...Northern Kentucky University’s athletic department seems to be willing to do anything to silence the multiple emotional abuse allegations against (Whitaker).” Whitaker has not responded to the allegations as of Saturday. Anna Wright, NKU’s director of public relations, released a statement Monday night, saying the university is “aware of complaints surrounding the wom-

en’s basketball program. ... We recognize the courage it takes to share personal stories.” Wright said complaints have been “thoroughly reviewed separately by the Title IX and Athletics offi ces, and addressed in accordance with university policy.” However, Taugher said she was not interviewed by Title IX offi cials while they were playing and has not been contacted by the university since Taugher’s article was posted. Shar’Rae Davis, who told The Enquirer she was isolated from the team by Whitaker and made to feel by the coach like a “virus,” also said she hadn’t been interviewed by Title IX offi cials.

Northern Kentucky Water customers to get rate hike Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Nearly 83,000 Northern Kentucky residents’ water bills will increase this year and again in 2020. The Kentucky Public Service Commission approved Northern Kentucky Water District’s request in a March 26 order for $6.2 million more in revenue over the next two years. The money will increase the water district’s revenue by 11.6 percent to pay for replacing aging water pipes, pumps and treatment plants. The increase will be phased in over two years. The existing monthly residential customer fee will increase from $16.40 to $18.50 by 2020. The water consumption charge will increase from the existing $4.53 per 100 cubic foot fee to $4.77 per 100 cubic foot by 2020. The typical customer will see an increase of $1.92 a month each year for a total increase of $3.84 by 2020, according to the public service commission news release. The water district, which serves customers in Boone, Campbell and Kenton counties, plans to use the rate increase to pay oﬀ $19.6 million in existing loans.

writing the article on the bus ride home from the last game of the 2018-19 season. She said she was relieved when the season was over, despite losing by 16 points in their ﬁ nal game against Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis. Taugher was ready to tell her story without fear of retribution from coach Whitaker. She said she felt like she owed it to herself, her teammates and future recruits interested in NKU who shouldn’t be treated like they are disposable. About 2,300 words and several edits later, Taugher posted the article. The Odyssey is an online media company that publishes crowd-sourced material and is popular among college students. The article was viewed more nearly 100,000 times in one week and caught attention from national news outlets. The current players’ posting had over 11,000 views as of Monday morning. “In the end, I don’t care what happens to coach Whitaker,” Taugher said. “I just want to promote a better environment for my teammates that are still there.”

Players make Title IX complaints, leave school

Northern Kentucky Norse coach Camryn Whitaker, here at NKU's basketball media day in 2018, has been accused by former players of emotional abuse. ALBERT CESARE / THE ENQUIRER

NKU ‘toxic environment,’ player’s dad says Taugher said in an interview that Whitaker stripped away her love of the game of basketball and the life she had built around it. The intimidation, manipulation, humiliation and verbal attacks from Whitaker were incessant, Taugher said. “You’re selfi sh!” “Do you even have a brain?” “I don’t have a place for you on this team!” “You have no idea what ‘mean’ looks like! I can show you mean!” A college coach is not just a normal authority fi gure. Their approval and disapproval can shape a player’s future, confi dence and self-worth. The game that used to bring Taugher joy and relief became a source of pain, anxiety and fear. This coach made her feel worthless. After practice one day during her junior season, Whitaker “told me I sucked the life out of her” and “out of the team,” Taugher said. That moment made her feel disposable and the negative thoughts swarmed in her head. “It had me questioning my own life,” Taugher said. “I wanted to play for her and make her proud of me. I just didn’t feel important anymore.” That feeling of dread and darkness followed her around campus, from the court in BB&T Arena to her bedroom to her classrooms. The pressure to perform on the court, to get good grades and maintain a social life was nearly impossible. “I now understand why college athletes commit suicide,” Taugher wrote in her article. “Between the anxiety, and lack of sleep and appetite from the constant attacks on my character and my family, I felt like I couldn’t take it anymore.” Suicide is the second-leading cause of death among college students, although a national rate among athletes is unclear.

Taryn Taugher, a senior on the Northern Kentucky University women's basketball team, says the head coach is bullying and emotionally abusing her players. She says the university knows but isn't doing anything about it. MEG VOGEL/THE ENQUIRER

A 2015 University of Washington study looking at athlete deaths found that 35 NCAA student-athletes died by suicide between 2003 and 2012, which is about 7 percent of all student-athlete deaths. Athletes’ mental health is a priority for the NCAA, which works with medical professionals to provide education and resources for athletes, coaches and athletics administrators. Taugher said she was one of Whitaker’s “emotional punching bags” from the fi rst day she stepped onto the court as the new coach in 2016. “There’s a line between constructive criticism and degrading somebody,” said Taugher, who came to the university under a diff erent coach. Taugher said many of the verbal attacks were in meetings behind closed doors, in her offi ce on what Whitaker called the “crying couch.” That’s where Whitaker would “get you alone and tear you apart.” During those “beat-up sessions” Whitaker would attack their “family, per-

sonality, work-ethic and body physique,” Taugher said. These meetings were often done weekly and before games, which hurt performance. Whitaker demanded players and coach call her ma’am, to make it known that she was in charge, Taugher said. Whitaker talked about her players being on leashes, which Taugher said made the players sound like they were “animals that she could control.” And the length of your leash determined how many mistakes you could make before being pulled out of a game, which “stole our confi dence.” Players said they were afraid to go to the gym and felt nauseous when they saw their coach. Taugher acknowledges that collegiate level coaches have a certain power that can be intimidating. She says yelling is part of the game and she’s motivated by that intense kind of coaching. But Taugher said what happened in Norse practices was emotional abuse, which includes “insults and attempts to scare, isolate, or control you,” according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. She said Whitaker would do anything to make certain players feel isolated from the team. Another player, Reece Mungar, refused to meet with Whitaker without her parents present on one game day. Munger said she was then forbidden to attend the shootaround before the game, the game itself, and in the locker room. Players said Whitaker told them Mungar was a “f------ bad friend and teammate.” After two years of hearing about and seeing a “toxic environment,” Barry Mungar stepped in to keep his daughter “mentally and physically safe.” He said he contacted the athletic director and Title IX offi ce, sent a letter to NKU’s president and spoke to the university’s NCAA compliance offi cials about the problems. The Enquirer has requested Whitaker’s personnel records, including Title IX complaints. Mungar, who’s a sophomore, is now in the process of transferring schools. “This is not about playing time. This is about a morally and ethically corrupt coach,” Mungar’s father, Barry Mungar said in an interview. “It’s an NCAA night-

Eight women’s basketball players have either quit or transferred and two coaches have left the program since Whitaker came on board, according to Taugher’s article. The team hasn’t had a winning season since Whitaker was hired. At least two players, Taugher and Kasey Uetrecht, have gone to the Title IX offi ce for help, yet they say no university offi cials contacted them after their initial meetings. Uetrecht, who is from Oregonia, Ohio, was a junior on the team when she left the team in the middle of the night at that same away trip that Davis described having her own hotel room. After enduring and witnessing the abuse that season under Whitaker, she said she felt like there was no other way out. “I was at such a low point in my life,” Uetrecht said in an interview. “I had never felt so broken before and she had completely destroyed any confi dence or love for the game I had.” With about two weeks left in the 201617 season, Uetrecht’s parents picked her up from that hotel and drove her home. “I just started crying because I left this weight lifted off of my shoulders that she didn’t have control over me anymore,” Uetrecht said. Uetrecht and her parents met with coach Whitaker and the athletic director when the team returned to campus. They agreed to honor Uetrecht’s scholarship through the end of the year, but she was wasn’t allowed to be around the women’s basketball team or athletic facilities. She even had to move out of her off -campus apartment because she lived with other basketball players. The next fall, Uetrecht wrote a paper about Whitaker for an assignment. Her professor shared the paper with the chair of the department who then shared it with the Title IX offi ce. In December 2017, she met with Deputy Title IX Coordinator Ann James, who she says told her they would looking into it and talk to the athletic department. But, according to Uetrecht, no investigation ever came from that meeting, she was never contacted further, and Whitaker kept coaching. The abuse continued into the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons, Taugher says, and players felt powerless because complaints to the athletic department about Whitaker’s behavior were ignored. Taugher said she went to the Title IX offi ce in December 2018 to fi le a complaint and was not contacted after the initial meeting. Davis and Uetrecht also say they were never contacted about an interview, even though they were mentioned in Taugher’s complaint. After Taugher’s report, she said Whitaker found out that one of the players went to Title IX. Taugher said during a team meeting in the fi lm room Whitaker said, “I don’t know who’s trying to ruin my life… but I want to let you know that I am invincible and I am not going anywhere. I am your coach. I signed a contract and I’m not going anywhere.” Taugher fi nished out this past season, knowing it would be her last because Whitaker was not going to honor her fi fth year of eligibility. “My heart was broken, and my time was cut short with some of my best friends I have ever had,” Taugher wrote in her article. Taugher and Davis are both coaching high school girls basketball teams, which they say has brought a new perspective to the abuse they say they endured at NKU. “For a while, I was blaming myself,” Davis said. “I was trying to bury it, I was almost validating the things that she did. Now that I’m coaching, I know for sure what she was doing was wrong.” Davis has gone through multiple coaching staff s at the collegiate level and said she’s learned the diff erence between someone “who’s going to break your house down and build you a better house” and someone who is “just breaking your house down.” “I’m stronger because of the things I’ve endured,” Davis said. “All the years that I played have made me better and they’ve shown me what not to do.”

Make your own chili like Zip’s, Main Street Cafe A bowl of chili from Main Street Cafe.

Chili like Zip’s Reader Sarah L. said: “It is just like Zip’s! I cooked the meat without browning and it turned out great - I simmered it on low for a couple of hours.” OK so you can’t get a better endorsement than that!

PROVIDED

The Buena Vida chili powder is Mary Lou’s and my choice - you can use the brand you like. Ingredients 2 pounds freshly ground beef, 80-20 meat to fat ratio 2 small onions, diced 3 cans, 14.5 oz. each, tomato sauce 1 small can tomato paste plus 1 can water 3 cans, 14.5 oz. each, diced tomatoes or chili ready tomatoes 1 large can chili beans (mild or hot) 1 teaspoon salt 1 envelope Buena Vida chili powder or 1-2 tablespoons your choice

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

Are you in the mood for chili? In particular, Chili like Zip’s Restaurant in Mt. Lookout or Main Street Café’s in Newtown? Well, several readers, including Sarah L., have asked me to publish the recipe again. First, a little history. Both restaurants are owned by the same family. I chatted with Dave Murrie of Main Street Café about his famous chili. “The recipe is proprietary, and we’ve made it for 24

years. Originally it was my Dad’s recipe. We make between 80-110 gallons a week,” Dave told me. I mentioned to Dave that I had met with Pauline Murrie years ago who was then chef owner of Main Street Café . Picking her brain about the chili, Pauline was pretty close lipped. And the only thing I could pry out of her was “start with the freshest meat, an 80-20 ratio and cook the meat without browning ﬁ rst.” The seasonings were “normal stuﬀ , but I use a bunch”, Pauline said. (The taste is yummy, slightly sweet with a decent amount of heat, sort of smooth textured without a lot of beans). Dave agreed with Pauline’s description,

but that was about all the information he gave me. Oh, and if I remember correctly, no bell peppers in the chili. I stopped at the café recently and bought some chili so you could see what it looked like. Check out the photo. The clone I’m sharing is originally from Mary Lou Olberding Diersing, passed down to her daughter, Casey. If you go the either restaurant, be sure and pair the chili with their equally famous burger.

The following are some do’s and don’ts for spring lawn care on cool-season grasses (tall fescue, Kentucky bluegrass) in Kentucky. Do: get your mower ready for the season. ❚ Sharpen blade. Having sharp mower blades are very important to turf aesthetics and health. ❚ Change oil if necessary and clean air fi lter. Don’t: apply nitrogen. Nitrogen applied in spring and summer promotes growth of warm-season weeds such as crabgrass, goosegrass, and bermudagrass. Further, high amounts of nitrogen in spring and summer can result in increased damage from white grubs in the soil. Do: apply a pre-emergent herbicide. Annual grassy weeds such as crabgrass and goosegrass begin to germinate in the spring. Untreated populations of these weeds can outcompete and take over your desired lawn species. By applying a pre-emergent herbicide prior to weed germination, weed numbers can be drastically reduced and your lawn can have the chance to fl ourish without fi ghting weeds for space, nutrients, light, and water. ❚ In northern Kentucky, the spray before date is usually around April 15. ❚ Granular products are a great op-

tion for homeowners and are easy to apply. Be sure to ﬁ nd a product that has no Nitrogen fertilizer. Don’t: seed in the spring.The best time of year to seed lawns is in the early fall. The concern with planting in the spring is that there is signiﬁ cant competition between seedlings and grassy

weeds (and weeds almost always outgrow our desired species) and the immature seedlings can struggle with summer heat and drought more so than a mature lawn. Do: mow at regular height.Because the grass grows at a high volume in the spring, it’s best to not let the height get

too long before mowing. Ideally, never cut oﬀ more than 1⁄ 3 of the leaf in one mowing. By following these basic do’s and don’ts, you can start your lawn oﬀ on the right foot this spring and enjoy it more and work on it less throughout the year.

Review contracts to avoid home improvement problems Sandra Guile Guest Columnist Community Press

Home remodeling shows highlight the latest and greatest must-have features to update any living space. Homeowners attending remodeling expos should plan to listen to presenters and pick up contact information from potential contractors – not go in with the intent to hire someone on the spot. After returning from the show, sift through the information, select the top three potential candidates for the project, and research the business from a source such as bbb.org. Once a decision is made and it’s time sign a contract, there’s still a few more steps to take before taking pen to paper. First, the selected contractor should

prove they’re bonded, insured, and licensed appropriately. During the bidding process, the business should present copies of all necessary certiﬁ cations at the homeowner's request. Close attention should be given to the type of insurance carried by the contractor, and proper coverage should be outlined for anyone involved with the project - including subcontractors. While checking out the company, review the references presented from previous projects. Next, the contract must list the exact items needed for the project, all the way down to the speciﬁ c quantity, size, price, and brand of the products the contractor plans to use. A proposed start and end date should be clearly listed, along with a payment schedule that includes the down pay-

ment – typically no more than 10 to 15 percent of the overall cost of the project. Homeowners should keep in mind, however, that start and end dates may change depending on unexpected delays during the project. Finally, homeowners are encouraged to ask if they are responsible for disposing of old appliances, cleaning up after demolition, and recycling any usable materials, or if these tasks fall under the services the contractor covers. These details should be included in the contract along with any speciﬁ cs as to how they will keep your home clean as demolition is taking place. Any stipulations the contractor states - including requests to board animals elsewhere during construction must also be outlined in the contract. Although the process of setting up and moving forward with a remodeling

project is long and involved, there should be an opportunity to opt out of the contract at any point if things aren’t working out as planned. Read through the contract carefully for the cancellation clause and what rights you have to stop the work. Anyone attending should enjoy the remodeling show and get some great ideas for their upcoming project, but they should make sure to check out any chosen contractors at bbb.org before getting started.

Campbell County girls basketball coach steps down James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

ALEXANDRIA – Campbell County High School is looking to replace its most successful girls basketball coach. Beau Menefee resigned Monday, March 25 after fi ve years in the position. He cited current family matters and said he hopes to return to coaching in the future. His fi ve years with the Camels were the most successful years in the history of the program. He had a record of 110 wins and 53 losses in that span, the most wins in any fi ve-year span for the

team. He led the Camels to the 10th Region championship in 2016, with the team reaching the state quarterfi nals for the fi rst time. In the 2017-18 season, Campbell won the NKAC Division I conference championship for the fi rst time and was ranked No. 1 in the Cantrall ratings. Twice, Menefee was named 10th Region coach of the year by the Kentucky Association of Basketball Coaches and in 2016 was the overall girls coach of the year by the Northern Kentucky coaches association. The school has posted the opening.

Walton-Verona coach Grant Brannen resigns James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

WALTON - After leading Walton-Verona to its best season in school history, Grant Brannen has stepped down as head boys basketball coach. Athletic director Kyle Bennett said via email that Brannen resigned March 25 and would continue to teach at the school. Brannen led the Bearcats to a 28-7 record this past season and their fi rst berth in the KHSAA Sweet 16 since 1942. The Bearcats won a game in the tourney for the fi rst time in their history and lost to Campbell County in the quarterfi nals. Brannen was 116-65 in six seasons at WV, including 80-20 the past three seasons. With a large group of talented seniors, including 6-foot-10 Xavier signee Dieonte Miles, the Bearcats won the All “A” Classic Eighth Region each of the

past three years, fi nishing as state runner-up in 2018. Brannen was 146-62 in seven seasons as Newport Central Catholic’s boys head coach. He led the Thoroughbreds to one All “A” state title. Brannen won seven district championships, including the past three in the 32nd District with Walton-Verona. Brannen’s brother, John, is the head men’s basketball coach at Northern Kentucky University, who just made its second trip to the NCAA Tournament in three seasons, losing to Texas Tech in the fi rst round March 22. The NKU coach tweeted about his brother, “Congratulations to the Best Coach I know. 13 seasons - 262 Wins. 9 District Titles, 7 All “A” Regional Titles, All “A” State Title, 8th Region Title, Sweet 16, Elite 8 and Coach of the Year in Both 8th and 9th Region. Enjoy your Time Off ... Grant Brannen.”

program far bigger than any one player. Saints coach Jeﬀ Hans has lost just 11 games in his eight seasons at the helm. Five of those defeats came in his ﬁ rst year. Three days after guiding Thomas More to its most recent national championship, he was still receiving congratulatory messages from proud alumni. “It’s about building the program, not just a team for a year. That’s what we want to have, the tradition that everyone can be proud of,” said Hans. “I’m getting texts from alumni on Tuesday telling me they’re still smiling, still glowing. That’s what it’s all about, creating that family that you’re a part of forever.” The Saints were led by this season’s national Player of the Year, Madison Temple. While she earned several individual accolades, the two national championships she helped her team win are far more important to her. “It’s the culture of it all. We’ve had great leaders. Everybody understands their role. Players don’t get upset about not being able to play. We have vocal leaders and those who lead by example. We have people who hold you accountable,” Temple said. “It was really special winning it all this year with the group of girls we had. You can just tell that we love playing together and we love playing for one another and we want to make plays for one another.” Moss and Temple played one season together. Not surprisingly, it ended in a national championship. Moss, now an assistant coach at the University of Charleston, recognized Temple’s talent and leadership abilities right away. “I knew she was special her freshman year, just playing with her, the way she carried herself throughout the season. She didn’t act like a freshman. She was always very mature,” Moss said. “I knew she would be big for Thomas More. I knew it was just a matter of time before she won Player of the Year and they won another national championship.”

Playing closer to home Moss initially matriculated at the University of Florida, but after one year realized that she wanted to play closer to home. Temple suﬀ ered two serious knee injuries in high school that caused her to miss out on critical recruiting seasons. Both players could have gone elsewhere or called it quits on basketball altogether, but were drawn to the winning environment that Hans and his staﬀ have established at tiny Thomas More in Crestview Hills, Kentucky. “I think a lot of kids want to stay close to home. They can go to Thomas More. I think the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area is ridiculous right now with producing women’s basketball players,” Moss said. “Why don’t we go play at the powerhouse that is Thomas More and we can still go home and have a meal and get our laundry done at home?” The culture created within the program motivates the players to excel at a

championship level in everything they do, on and off the court. The culture is what leads to championships. “I hope everybody takes into consideration how much we love to win. You don’t want to go to a program that loses, whether you’re getting scholarship money to play or not,” Temple said. “I hope girls see how special this program is and how Coach is going to be there for you on and off the court. Everyone gets along. You want to go to a place where you feel at home. Thomas More has defi nitely been a home away from home for me.” Because of her age, Temple was able to play AAU basketball following her senior year of high school. One coach above all others continued to show interest in a talented player with bad injury luck. Hans hopped in his car and drove to Georgia to watch Temple play in a summer tournament. That helped convince the former Anderson High School star that she could still play at the next level, and convinced her where she could succeed and grow as a player and a person. “Fortunately, Coach Hans was smart enough to stay interested,” said Chris Carletti, Temple’s high school coach. “She went to a great program with a great coach. I doubt Madison would have had a better experience playing at any other school or at any other level.”

Fans love local recruits The fans that regularly pack the Connor Convocation Center are also a draw for local recruits. Temple was impressed when she arrived on campus to watch a game. She wanted to play with players like Moss, who no matter their talent level play with an unselﬁ sh ﬂ air. “I attended a game and realized how supportive everyone is. You can go to some Division I games and not see as many fans there,” said Temple. “I wanted to go somewhere where winning was important to them. After winning it all our

freshman year, I knew this was the place that I wanted to stay at.” Not only did she stay, but she developed into one of the all-time greats in Division III basketball. Temple fi nishes as Thomas More’s all-time leader in points, assists, and fi eld goals made. “What has been rewarding is that I’ve been able to see her play on some great teams. It always seemed to be an eff ortless transition for her to keep taking on a bigger share of the leadership role,” Carletti said. “When she was a freshman, she was a major contributor, but was probably the third or fourth option on that team. As players from that team graduated, Madison’s role kept growing until her senior year where she was defi nitely the leader.”

Transitioning to the next era Now, the Saints look to transition into the post-Temple and post-NCAA era. Thomas More will join the NAIA next season, after going out on top of the NCAA Division III. “I knew it was coming. I fi gured their last year in DIII with the group of seniors they had this year, they would make a run and hopefully win it all,” said Moss. “To go out on top is such an awesome statement. We didn’t drop off after my class left, or after Abby and Nikki [Kiernan] left [in 2018]. We’re still here and hopefully we can take that into NAIA next year.” Four Saints players in the past seven seasons—Allison Long, Moss, Abby Owings, and Temple—have earned AllAmerica recognition. The Saints have won 95 percent of their games under Hans. The program is undoubtedly a dynasty, and the future—returning starters Kaela Saner, Emily Schultz, and Briana McNutt, talented freshman Asyah Mitchell, and another strong incoming recruiting class—shows no signs of dropping off . “For us to be able to keep players

home in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, give them opportunities to be successful while they’re getting a great education and their families are able to watch them, it’s very important for what we are and what we want to become,” Hans said. “The biggest thing is the culture and chemistry and how important it is, and the relationships that they have with each other to trust each other and hold each other accountable. Those are things they need for life, when they go into jobs and careers. This is a great learning experience for them. “That’s what’s special about it. These are homegrown players who came here with a mission to be the best. I can’t be happier for our players and our community.”

Joseph “J.C.” Crowley GRANTS LICK - Dr. Joseph Cletus (J.C.) Crowley, 88, of Grants Lick, Kentucky passed away peacefully at his home on March 26th, 2019, surrounded by his loving family. He was born on October 28th, 1930, in Butler, Kentucky where he grew up living and working on a large dairy and tobacco farm with his father, mother, and brother. He graduated from Butler High School in 1947. An Army War Veteran, he served in Korea from 1952-1954 as a Staff Sergeant. Upon honorable military discharge, he attended the University of Kentucky followed by the Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine in Alabama, graduating with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 1962. Upon graduation, he returned to his hometown to start a mixed animal veterinary practice. He began his career in veterinary medicine based on the principles of hard work, empathy, and respect for all animals and their owners. Initially, he worked out of his garage and made farm calls in a used van while his one employee, his wife Myra Jane, answered the phone and scheduled appointments in between raising their six children. During his long and impactful career, Dr. Crowley established himself as a stalwart of the community, friend to both animal and man alike. He has influenced and mentored countless veterinarians that have become leaders in the field and gone on to practice throughout the state, the country, and even in Africa. In 2010,

Dr. Crowley retired after 48 years of successful veterinary practice. J.C. was a long time board member of the Farmers Bank, a Commissioner of the Pendleton County Water Board, and a faithful member of St. Mary of the Assumption Parish in Alexandria. He enjoyed spending his limited free time with his family and on his farm in Pendleton County tending his small beef herd. Dr. Crowley was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Myra Jane (Owen). He is also survived by his children, Patrick (Michele) Crowley, Dr. Michael (Stephanie) Crowley, Colleen (Lt Col Peter) Crowley-Ames, Dr. Kevin (Rachel) Crowley, Kelly (Emma) Crowley, Kyle (Monica) Crowley. He is additionally survived by his ten grandchildren, Sean, Claire, Megan, Jacob, Ryann, Chance, Cole, Caitlin, Kennedy and Madison. Additionally, he is survived by two foster daughters, Linda (Gary)Robinson and Lucy (Gary) Howard and their families. He was preceded in death by his parents, Edward and Clara (Cavanaugh) Crowley, his brother Bernard Crowley, and his grandson, Chase Anthony Crowley. Visitation hours will be held at St. Mary Assumption Parish in Alexandria on Sunday, March 31st from 4pm-8pm. A mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. Mary Assumption Parish on Monday, April 1st at 11:00am. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Kentucky Veterinary Medical Association Foundation, Disabled American Veterans, or the Pilot Dogs Inc.

The Honorable Michelle M. Keller, Kentucky Supreme Court Justice, administered the oath of office to President Vaidya. DAVID BUSHLE, NKU PHOTOGRAPHER/PROVIDED

President Vaidya takes oath to serve as NKU’s sixth leader Northern Kentucky University President Dr. Ashish Vaidya (AHsheesh VIE-dyuh) took the oath to serve as NKU’s sixth president on March 29. Students, faculty, staff , alumni and community members gathered in BB&T Arena for the Installation Ceremony, which centered on the theme of Empowering the Future. “I’m humbled by the opportunity to lead this great institution and honored to take the oath as NKU’s sixth president. Together, we have a tremendous opportunity to redefi ne and reclaim the narrative about about the signifi cance of a 21st century public institution and the value of an NKU education,” said President Vaidya. “Our campus is home to diverse learners, and we must meet their needs — no matter what age or stage they are at in their life. It is my belief that if we accept a student at this university, we have the moral obligation to ensure they receive every opportunity to meet their educational goals.” President Vaidya’s longtime friend and mentor, Dr. Richard R. Rush, gave the keynote address. Dr. Rush, presi-

dent emeritus of California State University, Channel Islands, said, “I’m honored to participate in Ashish’s installation. Having known him for a long time, I’m certain that he will be an outstanding president for Northern Kentucky University.” Other personal moments highlighted the ceremony, as President Vaidya’s daughter, Jaanhvi, and nieces, Alina Shah and Ruchira Shah, sang “In My Life,” a song by the Beatles. The ceremony then transitioned into the formal installation into oﬃ ce. NKU Board of Regents’ Chair Lee Scheben and Vice Chair Andrá Ward presented the president’s medallion to President Vaidya, and the Honorable Michelle M. Keller, Kentucky Supreme Court Justice and Chase College of Law alumna, administered the oath of oﬃ ce. Student Government Association President Hannah Edelen closed out the ceremony congratulating the president on the historic day for NKU. Sen. Mitch McConnell also shared a message for the president. “This is a special day not only for this university, but also for our entire Commonwealth,” said Sen. McConnell. “Over the last few months, I’ve had multiple occasions to meet with President Vaidya and to hear about his vi-

sion for NKU. Each time we’ve spoken, I’ve been impressed by his passion and his enthusiasm to get to work for the Norse community. Along with its students, faculty, staﬀ , alumni, and friends, I look forward to seeing what you have in store for this great university.” President Vaidya began his tenure as NKU’s sixth leader on July 1, 2018. He selected a spring Investiture Ceremony to allow time to understand the campus culture and the region. President Vaidya came to NKU from St. Cloud State University in Minnesota, where he served as interim president. He holds a bachelor’s and a master’s degree from St. Xavier’s College (Mumbai, India), and a master’s and a doctorate from University of California, Davis. He is married to Nita Vaidya, a sociologist. They have two children, Jaanhvi and Avaneesh. For more on why President Vaidya selected NKU, read his NKU Magazine proﬁ le.

NKU Opera brings laughs with one-act comedic opera Northern Kentucky University’s School of the Arts Opera will be staging Gian Carlo Menotti’s one-act comedic opera “The Old Maid and the Thief ” on April 12 and 14 in Greaves Concert Hall at NKU. When a beggar appears at their door, Miss Todd and her maid, Laetitia, swoon and allow him in. But little do they know, a dangerous thief has escaped from the county jail that very night. While keeping the town gossip Miss Pinkerton at bay, the ladies decide the fate of their new friend. Gian Carlo Menotti’s “The Old Maid and the Thief ” is a fast-paced and melodramatic comedic opera that tells a twisted tale of morals that will satisfy audiences of all ages. “’The Old Maid and the Thief ’ is a one-act opera written speciﬁ cally to be aired on the radio,” said director Kimberly Lazzeri. “Because the opera was originally meant to be heard and not seen, all of the action is vividly portrayed in the music! The music is melo-

dic and totally accessible. Audiences might even leave whistling one of the beautiful arias featured in the production.” Sarah DeMoor, a senior vocal performance major, is portraying the cunning and conniving maid Laetitia on the April 12 performance. She considers the music as both a highlight and challenge. “It is beautifully written… I have found an appreciation for not only my character’s portion of the score but the entirety of the orchestration as a whole. It is a masterpiece.” Senior vocal performance major Ashley Patak, who is portraying Laetitia on April 14, has enjoyed playing the character and learned a lot in the process. “If someone has never seen an opera, this would be a really great one to start with because it is in English, and it’s hilarious… watching the diff erent dynamics between each character and seeing their tactics to get what they each want would be entertaining to anyone.” Kaitlin Fierro is landing her fi rst big role in opera as Miss Pinkerton. The junior vocal performance major considers this her most challenging role in balancing the reality of the character with the general hilarity. “There is a fi ne line between good and bad comedy. I have such fun making people laugh that sometimes I have to pull myself up and do a mental check.” Fierro knows the opera is not especially deep or philosophical, but everyone is going to go home laughing. “It is one of the most accessible operas I have had the pleasure of encountering. Menotti presents a quirky, fun story which the audience will fall in love with. My hope is that everyone will remember that one scene where they could not stop laughing.” The NKU cast features Maria Bales (Miss Todd), Tyler Smith (Bob), Sarah DeMoor (Laetitia – April 12), Ashley Patak (Laetitia – April 14), and Kaitlin Fierro (Miss Pinkerton). Performances take place Friday, April 12, at 7 p.m. and Sunday, April 14, at 2 p.m. in Greaves Concert Hall at NKU. Tickets range $10$17 and can be purchased at nku.edu/ sotatickets or by calling 859-572-5464. Parking is available in Lots D & I on campus.

Nearly 30 J.C. Penney stores expected to close in 2019 In a January statement, J.C. Penney Inc. announced a decrease in sales for a nine-week period that ended Jan. 5. The announcement of store closures followed. This decision is the result of an ongoing review of the retailer’s store portfolio, which includes assessing locations that may not meet required fi nancial targets or represent an opportunity to capitalize on a benefi cial real estate asset, English said. “It’s never easy taking actions that directly impact our valued associates and customers, however, we feel this is a necessary business decision,” he said. Remaining inventory will be sold over the next several months, with the fi nal closing date expected to take place in most stores on July 5, English said. For the home and furniture stores, remaining inventory will be sold through the summer, with a fi nal closing date expected this fall.

Sheila Vilvens Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

As traditional brick-and-mortar retailers continue to struggle, another big box store announces a new round of closures. J.C. Penney Inc. is expected to close 18 department stores across the country in 2019 and nine home-and-furniture locations. In 2017 the retailer closed more than 130 department stores. The 116-year-old retailer is not disclosing publicly a list of stores to be closed, but there are no stores impacted in the Cincinnati area, according to company spokesman Carter English. There are J.C. Penney department stores throughout the region including locations at Eastgate Mall, Governor’s Plaza, Stone Creek Towne Center and Florence Mall. While the area might be spared the loss of one of these stores, other familiar retailers are shuttering

SCHOOL NEWS Pick-pockets at St. Joe’s? As hard as it is to believe, there were pick-pockets at St. Joseph, Cold Spring. As it happens, they were all in the sixth grade, and they were very good.
