NKY leader needs ‘break from public health’ after ‘brutal’ pandemic

NKU to launch ‘Watch the Rock’ campaign after white supremacist attacks Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

“Our whole intent is to take the steps to protect people from health threats, to prevent disease and deaths,” she said. “We want people in Northern Kentucky to be healthy.”

Do not misunderstand: Saddler does not back down from a public health challenge.

Soon after she became district director, Saddler took a front-line, public health position in eff orts to curb the then-heroin epidemic, which has morphed over the years to a fentanyl crisis. The path Saddler took was an attempt to curb a raging hepatitis C caseload, which had emerged as a direct result of the heroin crisis.

Saddler and her epidemiologists, with the help of regional and national harm reduction experts, developed plans for a Syringe Access Exchange

Northern Kentucky University is calling on the entire campus community to help identify the individuals responsible for vandalizing university property with white supremacist markings in a new “Watch the Rock” campaign.

“Our surveillance is only as good as the number of eyes we have on it,” Eddie Howard, vice president for student aff airs, said.

Both NKU and Xavier University were recently hit, for the second time this year, with white supremacist graffi ti. The perpetrators drew Xs over the Black faces in a mural on NKU’s Housing Rock, an infamous student spot often painted to promote events to the campus community, painted in January to celebrate students of color.

Campus property was also defaced with Patriot Front symbols. On Xavier’s Evanston campus, the “Racism is a Sin – Black Lives Matter” sign in front of Bellarmine Chapel was vandalized.

Patriot Front is a white supremacist and anti-Semitic hate group. It broke off from Vanguard America in the aftermath of the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in August of 2017, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. The group was responsible for roughly 80% of the white supremacist propaganda found in 2020. The Center on Extremism of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) tracked a near-doubling of white supremacist propaganda eff orts in 2020 compared to 2019, though the number of incidents on college campuses dropped by more than half. ADL offi cials cited COVID-19 restrictions as a reason for the drop in university incidents.

It has been a dizzyingly busy decade for public health, with Northern Kentucky an epicenter of an unremitting opioid epidemic and, for more than a year now, the COVID-19 pandemic keeping the region and nation in its grip.

But with more people getting vaccinated against the virus every day, Dr. Lynne Saddler, the leader of public health in this four-county district, has decided to leave her role and let someone else take the helm.

Saddler has headed the Northern Kentucky Health Department district, Boone, Campbell, Kenton and Grant counties, since 2010. She’s announced she’ll be departing at the end of the year, though she’s unsure what her next venture will be.

“I need to step back and take a break from public health,” she said in an interview April 8. “The pandemic has been pretty brutal.”

She has described herself as a “workaholic,’ but the novel coronavirus pandemic challenged even her relentless workstyle. Seeing people “very scared,” and hearing people who were very angry, on top of watching Northern Kentucky residents catch COVID-19 and, in some cases, die, has been “exhausting,” Saddler said.

At least six other Kentucky county and district health department directors have stepped down in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a database compiled by the Associated Press.

“Trying to convince people to take action” when they’re reluctant, seeing comments and hearing threats to public health has taken its toll, Saddler said.

Fort Thomas Independent Schools announces new superintendent Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Former Highlands High School principal Brian Robinson will take over as Fort Thomas Independent Schools superintendent in the fall, offi cials recently announced Fort Thomas ranked No. 2 for Suburbs with the Best Public Schools in Kentucky, and No. 403 for Places with the Best Public Schools in America in a recent Niche.com review.

Robinson, 46, graduated from Simon Kenton High School and Thomas More University. He taught government in Fort Thomas and served as an assistant principal and administrator in the central offi ce before serving as Highlands principal from 2008-2017.

Now he lives in Northern Kentucky with his wife, Julie, and two sons, Nick and Jake, who attend Highlands.

“I am just thrilled and honored to re-

turn to Fort Thomas, where the schools are and always have been the heartbeat of the community,” Robinson said in a Tuesday news release. “Leading the Fort Thomas Independent Schools as superintendent is both a great privilege and responsibility, and I would like to thank everyone involved for their confi dence in me to guide our schools forward.”

The school board voted unanimously for Robinson, offi cials said. He will succeed Karen Cheser, who will retire this spring after four years as superintendent.

“I know our schools will be in great hands with Mr. Robinson’s appointment as superintendent,” Cheser said. “The Board has made a thoughtful and important choice and I will be celebrating along with everyone else the many successes that Mr. Robinson oversees.”

3,100 students at fi ve school buildings, according to the district’s website.

Since his time as principal at Highlands, Robinson has served as executive director of Advance Placement implementation at the College Board and currently leads curriculum initiatives as the high school associate director for teaching and learning at Forest Hills School District, according to the release.

Robinson will start in his new role as superintendent in July, offi cials said, once his contract is approved by the board of education.

“Mr. Robinson clearly stood out from a group of incredibly impressive candidates and I am so pleased that he will be coming back to the Fort Thomas schools,” board member Jeff Beach, who served on the superintendent search committee, said. “He’s a great leader and a tireless advocate for students and teachers.”

These hate groups want exposure, Howard said, and they are getting it. He thinks that is why they have targeted the rock.

“Every time they put something on that rock what ends up happening is the media comes out, our students get engaged, you know,” Howard said. “I think we’re doing exactly what(...) they want us to do.”

University offi cials at both NKU and Xavier say the graffi ti has been removed and campus police are working together on an ongoing investigation. They believe the universities were “likely hit by the same suspects No suspects have been identifi ed as of April 7, though a photo of a suspect was released from NKU police after the January incident. Xavier police said they observed two individuals on camera footage after the most recent attack, wearing tan-colored pants and full-face coverings, one wearing a baseball cap with a blue and orange jacket and the other wearing a dark knit cap and a red jacket.

NKU’s “Watch the Rock” campaign will launch by April 9, Howard said. University offi cials are working on a logo and setting up a website that will off er 24-hour surveillance footage of the rock. Howard said the university has also asked campus police to increase patrols in areas that have been vandalized.

“I want them to know that we’re watching,” Howard said, “that the whole campus is watching.”

The suspect was captured on 12 Northern Kentucky University campus security cameras at around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday morning, officials say. PROVIDED/NORTHERN

Even if they don’t catch the perpetrator, Howard said, maybe the increased surveillance will prevent future incidents from happening.

Howard told The Enquirer there is no evidence so far that the individuals responsible for the NKU graffi ti are in any way connected to the university, as students or otherwise.

Xavier police, too, don’t believe the perpetrators are students.

Program in Northern Kentucky, headed by her department, after the Kentucky General Assembly passed legislation in 2015 that allowed health offi cials to initiate a process to get them in place.

In 2016, Northern Kentucky health offi cials, often Saddler with epidemiologists in tow, went on a community-education campaign, presenting information about infectious diseases and syringe exchange to 66 organizations, including city and county commissions, and reached more than 2,400 people doing it, records show.

In 2016, Grant County became the fi rst community in Northern Kentucky to provide a syringe access program, centered at a health clinic in Williamstown, for people who inject drugs.

Then there was a surge in HIV cases in Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati. It was attributed largely to injection drug use, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended exchanges. By 2018, Kenton and Campbell counties joined the eff ort, with mobile exchange units in Covington and Newport.

And all along this path, Saddler took part in educating people about substance use disorder and having her department’s community health clinics provide naloxone, the opioid-overdose antidote, (and training on how to administer it) to people free of charge.

“Our role in the opioid crisis has been an extension of what we do – fi rst of all, prevent deaths,” she said. “Hundreds and hundreds of people have been given a second and third chance at life” (because of naloxone).

Another part of the public health mission, she said, is “to prevent the spread of disease.”

“Everybody can agree with those kinds of goals,” Saddler said.

Kathrine Nero spoke with Dr. Lynne Saddler of the Northern Kentucky Health Department about what people need to know about the new coronavirus. PCIN

She says she understood why syringe exchange seemed to residents “counterintuitive and radical.” So she made it a mission to tell neighbors the science behind addiction, naloxone and syringe exchange during the earlier years of the opioid crisis.

She doesn’t credit herself but instead says her staff and the community are the reasons behind the progress made during her tenure.

She praises residents aff ected by the opioid crisis who came together with grass-roots work to try to stop the dying. She credits the community with working together to make the region a healthier place, noting partnerships public health has had with St. Elizabeth Healthcare, Northern Kentucky University, the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, public governmental bodies and others.

“People work together here,” she said. “That has always been one of the strengths of Northern Kentucky.”

Saddler’s team has hit head-on other

know the organization who is responsible, but as the Anti-Defamation League suggests, are intentionally not sharing their name to further their propaganda.

Their mission has been made clear to us – to bring hate to Xavier and divide our community as best as possible.”

NKU has other programs in place to make sure students feel supported, Howard said. The Offi ce of Inclusive Excellence is working on new programs to support students of color, and the university will host two sessions in April to fi eld student feedback. There are also

public health concerns in Northern Kentucky with campaigns to reduce smoking rates, to warn people about the dangers of vaping, inform residents of fl u dangers, alert parents to whooping cough outbreaks and other childhood diseases, and combat a hepatitis A outbreak in the region.

Most recently, Saddler has headed the department’s prevention eff orts and public information notices about the novel coronavirus, issuing statements about how it’s aff ecting Northern Kentuckians and how to prevent further spread, and leading the region’s public health COVID-19 vaccine eff ort.

“The pandemic is starting to wind down as more people get vaccinated,” she said.

She said her team has worked hard to bring the department to a better place than it was when she arrived, eager to take the district director job, 11 years ago.

She came to Northern Kentucky after being an assistant director of the Polk County, Florida health department.

In 2013, the health department was

“We all have to be a part of developing solutions,” he said. “Sometimes what you hear is, ‘what are we doing as administrators to solve the problem?’

And we can only do as much as we can, but we also need assistance and support from the overall campus community.”

one of the fi rst in the nation to be accredited by the Public Health Accreditation Board, a nonprofi t dedicated to promoting and protecting public health.

And on March 21, 2019, Northern Kentucky Health became one of the fi rst health departments in the nation to achieve reaccreditation.

Every fi ve years, the health department does a community health needs assessment, but the pandemic pushed the 2020 assessment back. Saddler said it’s time for a new director to lead that work and take whatever steps the region needs to ensure improved health.

“Most of us do our best to say, let’s get to a good stopping point – and let’s hand off the baton,” Saddler said, “leaving a place better than what it was when you started.”

She believes that, for her and for Northern Kentucky, that time is now.

The Northern Kentucky Board of Health is expected to select an interim director in July, according to a board agenda.

NKY judge suspended without pay Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – April 7. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates.

The Kentucky Judicial Conduct Commission punished another Northern Kentucky judge, according to court documents.

The commission suspended Kenton County District Court Judge Ann Ruttle without pay for seven days from April 15 to April 22. Ruttle violated three rules in the Code of Judicial Conduct for the way she handled court proceedings last summer, the commission wrote.

The Enquirer was unable to immediately reach Ruttle for comment.

Ruttle fi rst won election as a judge in 1994. She is the Chief District Court Judge for Kenton County; there are two other regular District Court judges. She makes $118,372 a year, according to public records.

According to court documents she erred when she: h Required defendants in criminal trials to fi le written demands for jury trials h Made comments to Department of Public Advocacy attorneys that were “not patient, dignifi ed, and courteous.”

Kenton District Judge Ann Ruttle in 2012 FILE

h Suggested an unrepresented person enter into a plea agreement that “could be reasonably be perceived as coercive.”

There won’t be a suspension hearing

or a months-long legal process like there was for former Kenton County Family Court Judge Dawn Gentry. Ruttle agreed to the suspension and waived formal proceedings, which is how judges are

able to appeal the commission’s claims.

In 2020, the commission fi red former Kenton County Family Court Judge Dawn Gentry. It found Gentry guilty of on 10 of 12 charges, which included accusations that she used sex, coercion and retaliation as tools in her judgeship.

Two complaints caused the commission to investigate Ruttle’s behavior.

During the suspension, Ruttle cannot use her judicial offi ce and must turn in her secure courthouse access pass.

“In imposing this sanction, the commission duly considered the circumstances and impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the fact that Judge Ruttle fully cooperated with the investigation and acknowledged her actions were inappropriate.”

Driver pleads guilty to gun charges in fatal NKY police chase Joanna Bouras Fox 19

A driver has pleaded guilty to two charges in connection with a police chase that ended with the deaths of two bystanders in Newport.

Mason Meyer, 28, was indicted for two counts of murder, four counts of wanton endangerment, possession of meth, persistent felony off ender, and fl eeing and evading, according to the

Campbell County Circuit Clerk's Offi ce.

In court on April 5, he pleaded guilty to possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, with a recommended sentence of 5 to 10 years, and persistent felony offender, with a recommended sentence of 10 to 20 years.

Meyer was the driver of the vehicle that led police on a chase Aug. 10 from Cincinnati into Newport, Cincinnati police said.

After being chased for 14 minutes,

authorities say he crashed into the patio of restaurant Press on Monmouth in Newport, ending the chase and killing Gayle and Raymond Laible. Two others were seriously injured in the crash.

Meyer will be sentenced on the gun charges June 1.

He will be in court on the other charges, including murder, on June 28.

“During the chase, I never thought nobody was going to get hurt,” Meyer told Fox19. “The last thing I wanted to

happen was to hurt two innocent individuals.

“My actions took somebody’s mother, grandmother, sister. Like, two innocent people are killed due to my actions, and, like, I mean, I deserve to be in here [jail] for that.”

Kirsten Johnson, 22, was one of the passengers inside the car with Meyers, according to the circuit clerk's offi ce.

She was indicted on fi ve counts of complicity for fl eeing and evading.

Food brands you didn’t know are from Cincinnati Jeff Suess Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

We know Graeter’s, Skyline, LaRosa’s, Montgomery Inn – local brands that have a following even outside of the Greater Cincinnati area. But there are a number of brand-name foods that we don’t typically recognize as being from around here.

Here are some famous food brands you probably didn’t know are from Cincinnati:

Pringles Procter & Gamble used to have a food division. P&G chemist Fredric J. Baur cooked up Pringles potato crisps when tasked with creating a potato chip that wouldn’t be broken or greasy. The saddle-shaped crisps are stacked in a cylinder, rather than in a bag. Released in 1968, they were originally marketed as Pringle’s Newfangled Potato Chips, but because they are made from potatobased dough rather than fresh potatoes, they couldn’t be called chips, so Pringles uses the word “crisps.” The brand was sold to Kellogg’s in 2012.

Airheads The fl at taff y candy was invented by marketing director Steve Bruner in 1985 for Van Melle, Inc. (now Perfetti Van Melle) in Erlanger, where it is still manufactured. Bruner suggested taking the rice paper off a fruit chew being developed and use a mylar wrapper that the candy wouldn’t adhere to. For a name, he asked his kids what they called someone silly. Airheads stuck.

Slush Puppie The fl avored icy drink was created by enterprising salesman Will Radcliff in 1970. The Western Hills High School graduate bought a slushy machine at a restaurant trade show, then came up with the name and hound dog mascot with the help of his mother and sister, and started his own company with $970. He turned Slush Puppie into a $25

He came up with a fi sh sandwich, battered halibut with a slice of cheese, in 1959, but McDonald’s owner Ray Kroc didn’t like the idea of his stores smelling like fi sh. Kroc had his own idea: the Hula

COMMUNITY NEWS Hydroponics program at the Brighton Resource Center

Second Annual Veteran Resource Fair

A group of 10 youth participated in a hydroponics program at the Brighton Resource Center from the Youth Leadership Development Program. They were taught an introduction lesson to hydroponics using the Soilless Systems 4-H Curriculum.

The program participants learned about how to germinate a seed hydroponically, the fundamentals of hydroponics, about what a Plant Scientist does, and other Agriscience careers.

A digital Qualtrics Survey was administered to the youth with a series of seven questions. A 5-point rating scale (1 being “no ability” to 5 “high ability”) applied to their ability before and after the program. The following questions were rated based on youth perceptions: Ability to describe how to germinate a seed (1.9 before participating vs. 4.2 after participating); Ability to describe ‘hydroponics’ (2.1 before vs. 4.2 after), and ability to describe experience with hydroponics (2.0 before vs. 4.2 after).

The biggest indicator rated at 4.8 (on a scale of 1 to 5) for youth when asked to rank their desire to learn more about careers in hydroponics.

Seventy percent of the participants indicated that they would be interested in a hydroponics community garden or to do hydroponics at home.

Women’s Crisis Center opens kennel to keep pets and families safe COVINGTON, KY – Women’s Crisis Center (WCC) recently opened Companion Kennel in Maysville, KY with the support and partnership of RedRover and PetSmart Charities. The kennel, which will help to keep more pets safe and healthy as their pet parents’ transition to safe housing in Northern Ken-

H IRIN W O N

tucky and Maysville, held a virtual ribbon cutting on Thursday, March 11.

The WCC Pet Protection Program was developed to remove a barrier for victims of domestic violence entering the WCC Shelter. This program and Companion Kennel, which serves all WCC shelters and is built on-site at the WCC Maysville KY shelter, will provide immediate safety for the often-overlooked member of a family fl eeing abuse.

Pets are often abused, neglected or abandoned by the abusive partner. This fear will often trap a family in an unsafe home for longer than necessary.

Through the Pet Protection Program, pets are cared for in a safe environment and receive updated vaccinations.

Other health needs are addressed including spaying/neutering if requested by the owner. When the family leaves the WCC shelter the pets are returned.

Pet Packs are provided that include the basic needs of each pet and all services are free.

According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, as many as 65 percent of domestic violence victims are unable to escape their abusers because they fear what will happen to their pets when they leave.

According to Sheltering Animals and Families Together (SAF-T), a national initiative that guides family violence shelters on how to welcome families with pets, only a fraction of the 2,500 domestic violence shelters in the United States report having the ability to house animals onsite.

“For those of us who have pets, we know they aren’t just animals to us, they are members of our family. Through WCC’s Pet Protection Program we off er safety for every member of our family, including our beloved pet. We are so grateful to PetSmart Charities for this grant, which will allow us to continue serving not only all of the brave survivors that walk through our doors, but their pet family as well. This grant and our Pet Protection Program are crucial to the 13 counties we serve throughout Kentucky as we work hard to keep survivors and their pets safe,” said Christy Burch, Executive Director of Women’s Crisis Center.

Women’s Crisis Center (WCC) is a 501(c)(3), is a foundational community center, off ering comprehensive services for people impacted by domestic violence and sexual abuse, while transforming our community through violence prevention. WCC off ers free 24/7 responsive services and survivor-centered advocacy programs. To learn more visit www.wccky.org.

How to make a salad bowl garden in a colander

What you’ll need for a salad bowl colander garden Colander Coffee fi lters Potting soil mix Seeds: leaf and other lettuces, spinach, chard, arugula, radishes, carrots Spray bottle or sprinkler type watering can Label: popsicle stick or whatever Instructions Line colander with coffee fi lters to keep soil in and allow good drainage. Tape fi lters if necessary.

Moisten evenly.

Pour soil in 3⁄ 4of the way up. Tamp down to smooth.

Sprinkle seeds evenly over surface. You can sprinkle on a good amount of seeds.

Pour a tiny bit of soil on top of seeds, just enough to cover. They germinate in the dark under soil.

Tamp down gently.

Water very lightly and gently.

Add label and date. I like to use the seed packet on a popsicle stick.

Place in sunny spot.

Water as needed. Keep evenly moist but not soggy.

Watch closely - in a week or so you’ll see all those tiny seeds sprouting.

Some varieties are ready to eat in 3 weeks.

As mentioned above, lettuces can be cut and come again!

Radishes and small carrots grow well in colanders. PHOTOS BY RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE ENQUIRER

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

My girls/chickens have been way too curious this spring. Now I don’t mind them making their way to the herb garden and pecking away at the chickweed, dead nettle and henbit. Or scratching in the newly tilled vegetable garden rows. But after they decided to decimate a huge pot that I seeded a couple weeks ago with mixed salad greens, those girls are on my naughty list. I have to replant it and cover it with some netting. The good thing is it’s an easy fi x.

And practical. Many greens are “cut and come again.” Cut them down to soil level and new growth starts quickly.

Grow in the ground, or in a container. Just about any container works, with good soil and drainage. This

year, colander gardens are popular. And pricey! Make your own at a fraction of the cost.

That’s what I’m doing with the little ones. I have enough colanders so we’re good to go (buy colanders at dollar or thrift stores).

Maybe you’d like to have a salad greens garden, too.

Choices are endless. You can plant a single variety or a mix. You don’t have to stop there, either. Think of companion vegetables, like radishes and perhaps small carrots. Plant those in another colander.

Make sure the container you use fi ts what you grow.

Most salad greens grow quickly, and do best in cooler weather, though there are some that are more heat tolerant. Read labels to fi nd which is best for you.

The bonus? You’ll be getting fresh air, and I guarantee a helping hand from kids tending their own special garden. They love to watch the growth process. Nutritional rewards are a given.

Here’s how to make a salad bowl garden in a colander. For fi rst timers, maybe do just lettuces for a faster harvest. Plant a single variety or mix them up.

Tip: growing radishes and carrots Grow together if you like.

Plant small variety carrots in center of colander (the deepest part) and radishes near outside edge.

Radishes will be ready in about 3 weeks; carrots in about 6, depending upon variety.

Any greens work. Spinach is a favorite.

Crossroads Church says Facebook, YouTube temporarily pulled video Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A Crossroads Church offi cial said they’re not starting a free speech argument with big tech companies over a video that depicts Jesus, but the headline of an article on their website calls out a pair of social media giants for using the word “censored.”

The church said the tech giants Facebook and YouTube temporarily blocked an Easter video showing reenactments of the crucifi xion of Jesus Christ.

The church claims the platforms fl agged the videos for violence in a post on its website.

“We had to make a few small tweaks to our online Easter service to use the video in the way we hoped on some social media channels,” Kyle Ranson, Crossroads online church community pastor, said in a written statement.

Facebook and YouTube did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The incident has sparked conversations on multiple topics, Ranson said.

“We’re not interested as much in making a statement about freedom of speech as we are interested in focusing on the value of Jesus’ brutal crucifi xion and what it tells us about how deeply God loves each one of us,” he said.

Ranson continued, “The intention of sharing what happened was to create understanding, not to condemn social media companies.”

The church has six locations around the Greater Cincinnati area, one in Dayton, Ohio, and three in central Kentucky, including one in Lexington.

Brian Tome, the senior pastor at Crossroads, introduced the nearly 50minute video available at the church’s website. The video includes scenes of a man portraying a bloodied Jesus Christ

Crossroads Church. PROVIDED/CROSSROADS CHURCH

carrying the cross and close-ups of a wood peg being driven into a wrist as music plays.

There are songs, dance performances, fi rst-person testimonials and Tome’s preaching.

The church, in its website post, said the social media companies sent “rejection notices” April 1 over an appearance of profi ting from a tragic event with no clear benefi t to users. The church’s post, written by Ranson, notes at the end that

Facebook and YouTube agreed to show the scenes after an appeals process.

“Facebook and YouTube censored our Easter video” was the title of the website post that takes on the idea that there can be resurrection without suffering and the crucifi xion.

Crossroads pointed out that they edited out a portion of the church’s Easter video that YouTube fl agged for COVID-19 misinformation with a reference about the negative mental health eff ects

of the pandemic.

“We merely agreed with their fi ndings and empathized with the diffi cult experience many of us have had over the past year,” Ranson wrote on the church’s website. “In the end, to ensure we had an Easter video published in time, we edited that section out.”

WHAT’S GOING ON IN NKY

New apartment tower coming to Covington autopsy report, which is usually completed by the local medical examiner.

The Northern Kentucky location will provide year-round services. It’s estimated to complete more than 500 exams a year, according to the release.

Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

This is an installment of reporter Julia Fair’s series “By the way, NKY.” Here, you’ll fi nd what’s going on in Northern Kentucky.

If there’s something you think should be included, email reporter Julia Fair at jfair@enquirer.com Ok, I’ll address it.

No, I did not change my last name for this job. And yes, people have asked me this before.

I used to hate my last name. I cringed when kids on the bus mockingly called me “Jeff ” instead of “Julia” because I had my initials — JEF — embroidered on my purple catalog-ordered backpack.

Now I know it’s the perfect name. My job is to be fair, just like my last name, I tell readers. My dad even used the phrase “Fair’s Fair” for his (failed) city council campaign back in the day. But the phrase is still true.

If you think I missed something I should’ve covered, please reach out.

By the way, here’s what’s going on in NKY.

Covington building will get taller, new use and look Before the pandemic, I sipped coff ee and savored a pastry every Friday morning at Roebling Point Books & Coffee. Sometimes I had eye-opening discussions with community members.

Other days, I rewrote specifi c paragraphs more times than I could count to get the phrasing just right for a piece my editor expected to see later that day.

Across the street from the coff ee and book shop is 303 Court St., which used to be the Kenton County government building. When it closed and the government offi ces moved to 1840 Simon Kenton Way, I wondered what would happen to the building.

Now we know Cincinnati-based developers Al. Neyer and Urban Sites have a plan to transform it into The Hayden.

The $31.4 million project will add two stories to the 10-story building, create 133 apartments and 6,000 square feet of ground-level commercial space, according to a press release from the city of Covington.

Construction will begin on July 15 and is estimated to be completed in two years. The release did not include how much rent would be for the studio, onebedroom and two-bedroom apartments.

The city of Covington helped the project come to fruition by agreeing to: h Spend up to $500,000 from its TIF fund for reimbursement of public infrastructure improvements to the surrounding sidewalks, site utilities, and streetscape. h Gain legal ownership of the building in order to issue industrial revenue

bonds. The developers will pay that back with a payment in lieu of taxes, which is a payment made to compensate a government for some or all of the property tax revenue lost due to tax-exempt ownership or use of the property.

When the bonds expire, the city will no longer own the building.

Covington Economic Development Director Tom West said in the release the project will “eventually” net the city about $83,000 more a year, even with the sacrifi ced property tax revenue.

“With the help of the city of Covington, Kenton County, and the school board over several years, we’re very excited to see that this project will become a reality,” said executive vice president of Al. Neyer, Dan Ruh, in the release.

NKY State Medical Examiner’s Office to reopen Remember when lawmakers used part of their fi nal days in the 2021 session to allocate $3.3 million for the Northern Kentucky regional Medical Examiner’s Offi ce?

I do. I was intrigued and wondered what prompted lawmakers to make that decision. I wrote it down in my notes and planned to call around about it.

On April 6, Gov. Andy Beshear answered most of my questions about it in a press release. It announced the funds would help reopen the offi ce which closed in 2018. It’s unclear why it closed.

“So many of our vital services are many times unnoticed, but the loss of the medical examiner’s offi ce in Northern Kentucky was becoming a large

problem,” said Sen. Chris McDaniel, of Taylor Mill, in the press release. “I appreciate working with Gov. Beshear and the state medical examiner’s offi ce to return this important service to Northern Kentucky.”

Northern Kentucky cases have been sent throughout the state, which increased caseloads on other regional medical examiner’s offi ces that were “already overcapacity,” according to the release. The release did not include how many regional cases were outsourced to other parts of the state, and who had to pay for them.

It did include that the regional offi ce will save families “time and money.”

Having no local medical examiner causes delays for families. Coroners can’t sign a death certifi cate without an

The Lego Store 7875 Montgomery Road, Space 2109,

It’s a well-known fact that for many older Americans, the home is their single biggest asset, often accounting for more than 45% of their total net worth. And with interest rates near all-time lows while home values are still high, this combination creates the perfect dynamic for getting the most out of your built-up equity.

But, many aren’t taking advantage of this unprecedented period.

According to new statistics from the mortgage industry, senior homeowners in the U.S. are now sitting on more than 7.7 trillion dollars* of unused home equity.

Not only are people living longer than ever before, but there is also greater uncertainty in the ecomony.

With home prices back up again, ignoring this “hidden wealth” may prove to be short sighted when looking for the best long-term outcome.

All things considered, it’s not surprising that more than a million homeowners have already used a government-insured Home Equity

For example, a lot of people mistakenlybelievethehomemustbe paid off in full in order to qualify for a HECM loan, which is not the case.

In fact, one key advantage of a HECM is that the proceeds will first be used to pay off any existing liens on the property, which frees up cash flow, a huge blessing for seniors living on a fixed income. Unfortunately, many senior homeowners who might be better off with a HECM loan don’t even bother to get more information because of rumors they’ve heard.

In fact, a recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s number one HECM lender, found that over 98% of their clients are satisfied with their loans.

While these special loans are not for everyone, they can be a real lifesaver for senior homeowners - especially in times like these.

The cash from a HECM loan can be used for almost any purpose.

Other common uses include making home improvements, paying off

Conversion Mortgage (HECM) loan to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement.

It’s a fact: no monthly mortgage payments are required with a government-insured HECM loan; however the borrowers are still responsible for paying for the maintenance of their home, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees.

Today, HECM loans are simply an effective way for homeowners 62 and older to get the extra cash they need to enjoy retirement.

*Housing Wealth for Homeowners - 62+ Reaches $7.7 Trillion in Q1 2020: NRMLA/RiskSpan Reverse Mortgage Market Index (RMMI) Q1 2000 - Q1 2020 Reverse mortgage loan terms include occupying the home as your primary residence, maintaining the home, paying property taxes and homeowners insurance. Although these costs may be substantial, AAG does not establish an escrow account for these payments. However, a set-aside account can be set up for taxes and insurance, and in some cases may be required. Not all interest on a reverse mortgage is taxdeductible and to the extent that it is, such deduction is not available until the loan is partially or fully repaid.

AAG charges an origination fee, mortgage insurance premium (where required by HUD), closing costs and servicing fees, rolled into the balance of the loan. AAG charges interest on the balance, which grows over time. When the last borrower or eligible non-borrowing spouse dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, or fails to comply with the loan terms, the loan becomes due and payable (and the property may become subject to foreclosure). When this happens, some or all of the equity in the property no longer belongs to the borrowers, who may need to sell the home or otherwise repay the loan balance.

SPORTS Highlands uses hot shooting for fi rst state title

Softball teams gain experience from 42-26 score James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

1981.

“It’s beyond description,” said head coach Kevin Listerman. “It’s like going to the moon. You can work and do everything right, but there are so many things that are beyond your control.

We just kept our blinders on all week and played the team in front of us, and not worried about the stage.”

Highlands won the championship with 47 points in the fi rst half, including nine 3-pointers. The Bluebirds led by 21 at halftime, 47-26, leaving

Conner, Newport Central Catholic and their inexperienced pitchers had a battle for the ages April 7 on the softball fi eld.

Conner defeated NewCath 42-26 at NewCath’s home fi eld in Southgate.

Conner’s 42 runs are tied for second in the KHSAA record books behind 46 scored by Evarts in a 46-15 win over Barbourville in 2004.

The 68 combined runs is a new record, breaking the 61 scored in that 2004 game, although Louisville schools Western and Iroquois have a game with 66 combined runs in the KHSAA scoreboard. Western beat Iroquois 34-32 during the 2013 season.

According to the box score from this year’s game uploaded into the GameChanger app, the game was tied at 25 after six innings after the Cougars squandered a 17-run lead.

Conner led 18-1 after scoring 14 in the top of the second inning. NewCath scored four times in the third inning to trail 18-7 and prevent the game ending due to the KHSAA mercy rule, in which the game would have been called if Conner led by 15 or more after three innings.

Conner still led 19-13 before scoring six times in the top of the sixth inning.

NewCath tied it at 25 with 12 in the bottom of the sixth, and Conner scored a whopping 17 in the top of the seventh to win it.

Despite the score, the game was not an off ensive showcase, although Conner did have 19 hits. The teams

LEXINGTON – Because the Ninth Region champion drew the last spot in the bracket in the Sweet 16 pairings, the Highlands boys basketball team wore its road uniforms for every game in the KHSAA Boys Sweet 16 state tournament.

The Bluebirds wore those blue and white uniforms every day while treating Rupp Arena like a second home, and they were the last team standing.

Highlands blitzed Elizabethtown with a historic fi rst half on its way to a 79-60 win in the KHSAA Boys Sweet 16 championship game April 3 at Rupp Arena.

Highlands fi nishes 30-4 and won its fi rst state championship in the program’s third state fi nal appearance.

Elizabethtown fi nished 22-3.

The Bluebirds will bring home the fourth state championship for the Ninth Region in 12 years, counting Holmes in 2009 and Covington Catholic in 2014 and 2018. It is the fi fth all-time by a local team, beginning with Simon Kenton in

Brossart loses 2OT heartbreaker in Sweet 16 James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

LEXINGTON – Bishop Brossart’s dream of a fi rst state tournament win ended in a marathon at Rupp Arena.

A 3-pointer by senior Rosie Jump in the fi nal seconds of the 40th minute of play fell short, and Brossart’s season ended in a double-overtime loss to Bowling Green April 7.

Bowling Green (19-10) prevailed 5048 in a thriller that lasted two and a half hours, and advanced to Friday’s quarterfi nal against Sacred Heart. Brossart, in the state tournament for the second time in team history and fi rst since 2001, ended 21-6.

“It’s going to sting a little bit, but once that goes away, this will be a day I’ll always remember,” said Brossart senior guard Jordan Rowe. “Win or lose, we got to play on this fl oor, which has been a dream of ours for so long. I’m really proud of this team.”

It was the longest game in the Sweet 16 since Franklin County beat Russell County in three overtimes in 2017.

The loss ended the careers of six Brossart seniors, including three starters.

Center Marie Kiefer, the 10th Region Player of the Year, almost had a triple double. She scored seven points with 10 rebounds and nine blocked shots, but fouled out with fi ve minutes to go in the fourth quarter and Brossart leading 3530.

Jump, a senior, scored 15 points on 5of-8 shooting, with fi ve rebounds and seven assists.

Lauren Macht, a junior, scored 16 points on 4-of-10 shooting from 3-point range, including one late in the fi rst overtime to give Brossart the lead.

Rowe had two points and two assists.

Seniors Emma Steff en and Madison Crowe had key minutes off the bench against Bowling Green, and Olivia McGrath was the sixth senior.

“They mean everything to me,” said Brossart head coach Kevin Bundy. “I’ve watched them grow up. I’ve watched them become fi ne representatives of Bishop Brossart and young ladies that anyone could ask for. The best daughters, the best leaders, the best sisters, the best friends. I will always remember this game but I’ll remember that the most.”

The game was a defensive battle throughout. Brossart shot 31 percent from the fi eld and BG 35, and both teams barely shot better than 50 percent from the foul line.

Kiefer, a 6-foot-3 center, shot 3-of-13 from the fl oor, and rarely had an easy opening as the Purples had two players who could match up with her: junior LynKaylah James and sophomore Meadow Tisdale. James matched Kiefer’s height and had a big advantage in bulk over the long-armed lanky Kiefer, and fi nished with 15 points and 19 rebounds.

Tisdale, a 5-11 wing player, guarded Kiefer most of the time. Her brother Vito was one of the nation’s top defensive back prospects in the Class of 2020 and played safety for the University of Kentucky during the 2020 season. Tisdale showed that defensive skill runs in the family and fi nished with 14 points on offense.

“We wanted to do ball pressure the whole time,” said BG head coach Calvin Head. “Kiefer is a load, and if we gave them easy access to her in the post, she would kill us. Our guards did a good job of perimeter defense without fouling.”

Brossart led 7-5 after one period.

shellshocked a Panthers team that had won its three games this week by an average of 22 points.

Highlands hit 10 3-pointers in the game and 38 for the tournament, shattering the previous state record for threes in a tournament set by Trinity in 2012 (33). Senior Luke Muller had 15 treys in four games, two short of Chris Lofton’s state record and tying the Northern Kentucky mark set by Scott’s Jake Ohmer in 2017.

Senior Sam Vinson socred 20 points, grabbed 14 rebounds and had fi ve assists and three blocks. He averaged 23.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 5.5 assists in the tournament, and totaled 10 blocks and 11 steals. He was named the tournament MVP. Vinson is signed with Darrin Horn and NKU. “Coach Horn is getting an awfully good one,” said Listerman, also a former NKU standout. “I’m biased, but I think he’s the best player in the state and he got an opportunity to showcase it. He does it in so many ways. Scoring, rebounding, assists. He’s so humble about it. He’s all about his teammates. When one of them gets rolling, he fi nds them.

We’re so proud of him and to see him stay home, we’re awfully excited. The NKU community will get to see him do this for four more years on an even bigger stage.”

Muller, the other starting senior, had 11 points and eight rebounds and averaged 19 points in the tournament. He fi nished the season with 122 3-pointers.

Will Herald hit four 3-pointers in the fi rst half and fi ve for the game. He ended with 17 points and four rebounds, and fi nished the year with 102 3-pointers.

Oliver Harris posted 10 points and four rebounds. Junior Zach Barth had 10 points. Leyton Read and Cole Kocher came off the bench for some key buckets. Read fi nished with seven points and three assists, and Kocher had four points.

Muller and Barth were also all-tourney picks.

Macht had fi ve of Brossart’s points.

BG scored the fi rst 10 points of the second period and led by eight, 15-7. Tisdale had four of them. Macht scored eight straight Brossart points late in the quarter, six on two 3-pointers, and BG led 17-15 at the half.

“Both teams were a little nervous early in the game, and I think we would both like the fi rst several minutes back because we were both rushed on the offensive end,” Bundy said. “But both teams did a good job settling down at halftime, and the second half was played much more crisply. It looked more like a state tournament game in the second half. Both teams really played hard. If you take the second half and both overtimes, I don’t know if you’ll fi nd a better game in the Sweet 16.”

Kiefer scored two of her three fi eld goals late in the third quarter. Macht hit another trey to give Brossart a 25-23 lead, and Jump hit a jumper to put the ‘Stangs up four at 29-25.

Three-pointers by Steff en and Jump gave Brossart a 35-30 lead early in the

lead,” Vinson said. “After that, we had the lead and we were just dictating the game. That’s what we did all season long.”

Fatigue was a concern for Highlands fans and objective pundits heading into the game. Highlands’ semifi nal win over Ashland Blazer had ended barely four hours before, while Elizabethtown had three more hours of rest after racing past Ballard earlier in the day. It was easy to wonder if the Bluebirds could keep up their hot shooting that had carried them to the fi nal.

But the Bluebirds had no doubt. Listerman credited strength and conditioning coaches Chris and Jordan Nevels.

“I was worried a little bit (about fatigue), more in shooting,” Listerman said. “I thought we would be able to defend and the pace would be OK. (The Nevels) had us mentally and physically prepared for the grind we were getting ready to go through. With guys like Sam and Luke who can control the game, we thought if we could get through things early, we would be in good shape.”

The Bluebirds missed their fi rst four shots of the game but made 60 percent the rest of the fi rst half.

Highlands still led 14-4, as Elizabeth-

fourth period. Kiefer fouled out after that after losing the ball in the frontcourt on what appeared to be a questionable call. Steff en and sophomore Molly Kramer played the fi ve spot after that.

“We work in practice every day so we don’t look for any crutches if something doesn’t go our way,” Bundy said. “Nobody in the state wants to play without a player like Marie and we didn’t want to play without her, but that was the hand we were dealt. We put other people in her spot but it’s hard to duplicate some of the things that she can do.’

Said Kiefer: “I defi nitely had a lot of trust in them. It was really hard to watch. I was on the edge of my seat. I’d rather be out there playing instead of watching and not being able to help.”

Brossart led 37-35 with 1:18 to go, and Madison Parker was at the line for two free throws. She missed the fi rst and made the second, but that one was negated by an apparent lane violation on Brossart.

BG tied it 10 seconds later on a layup

by Tanaya Bailey with a minute to play.

Brossart missed two shots in the fi nal minute, then had the ball for the fi nal possession. But the ‘Stangs turned it over and Bailey barely missed a runner

town missed four of its fi rst six shots and committed four turnovers. Vinson had a pair of layups. Oliver Harris had a pair of layups. Luke Muller and Zach Barth hit threes.

Harris gave Highlands a 23-13 lead after one quarter by picking up a loose ball inside his own free-throw line and racing the rest of the way to make a tough bank in the lane.

All seven Bluebird participants scored in the fi rst nine minutes of play.

To start the second quarter, backups got in the act. Read and Kocher scored baskets to put Highlands up 14 at 27-13.

Following a three by Elizabethtown, Herald hit his fi rst three of the game, and Vinson scored, and it was 32-16.

The Panthers struck back quickly with two high-speed transition layups, then Herald hit his second three. The Panthers got two more layups to cut the lead to 11 at 35-24.

Then, the Bluebirds really put on a show. Muller hit a three. Read hit one from the corner, and Herald hit open threes on the last two possessions of the half, and Highlands led 47-26.

“We just picked a bad time to have a bad game, and Highlands had an excellent game,” said Elizabethtown head

from halfcourt at the buzzer.

In the fi rst OT, Kramer scored on a layup over James to tie the game. Parker made a free throw for Brossart, and

combined for 27 hits, 39 walks, 20 hit batters and four errors.

Junior Alex Cobble had three hits and fi ve RBI for Conner. Senior Emma Houston had two hits and six RBI, and scored seven runs. Sophomore Keira Holeman and senior Jordan Dell drove in fi ve runs apiece. Cobble, junior Haley Kersker and senior Kayleigh Lamping scored six runs each.

Sophomore Mia Buemi had three hits and seven RBI for the Thoroughbreds.

It was the fi rst win for Conner after seven defeats to open the year in which the Cougars had given up an average of 17 runs. NewCath had won its fi rst two games over smaller schools Bellevue and Ludlow in the All “A” 9th Region tourney, scoring more than 20 runs in each game.

Shawn Sproles took over as head coach of Conner last season but did not get to coach a regular-season game be-

cause of the pandemic. Conner has a young squad without a deep roster, and

the Cougars are trying to learn on the fl y.

Sproles told the Enquirer he has re-

coach James Haire. “They were on fi re.

They did everything correctly. We didn’t play very well and I can’t think of anything they did wrong.”

Highlands came out of the locker room and went on a quick 6-0 run, four from Vinson and a bucket by Barth, and led by 27, 53-26.

E’town went on a 12-5 run to cut the lead to 20. Highlands gave them chances after that with some shaky ballhandling and shot selection, but the Panthers could not get on a sustained run.

Highlands limited Jaquais Franklin, the Fifth Region’s Mr. Basketball fi nalist, to nine points.

“A lot of things went right, especially early,” Listerman said. “A lot of this starts with Sam and Luke and the defensive job we did. We made that extra pass and got the right shot. When we get rolling, we’re awfully hard to handle.”

Highlands came out of one of the deepest regions in the state. Covington Catholic and St. Henry were high in the rankings all year and beat the Bluebirds during the season. Other teams such as Dixie Heights, Beechwood, Conner and Holy Cross had impressive seasons.

“It was huge,” Muller said. “The whole state knew whoever came out of there would have a good chance at the title. You got to give credit to everyone in that region for pushing us and for giving us tough games and that really helped us in the state tournament.

Listerman, a CovCath and NKU graduate, appreciates the moment.

“I’m so blessed to be in this spot,” he said. “Growing up as a Kentucky kid, I told these kids I played 39.3 seconds in the state tournament when I was a freshman. For me to come back as a coach, and have these kids have this unbelievable experience, and just watch it is absolutely amazing and humbling.

I’m so blessed and I couldn’t be more happy with this group of kids.”

In the second overtime, BG junior guard Emma Huskey hit a 3-pointer for BG, the Purples’ only one of the game, and BG led 46-43. Brossart tied it at 46 on two free throws by Jump.

Tisdale gave BG the lead with a layup, but Macht answered with a layup for Brossart to tie the game. Janiya Bailey hit two free throws with 43 seconds left and the ‘Stangs couldn’ answer.

Kiefer, a Ball State signee, ended with nearly 1,800 career points.

“She has great athletic ability and God blessed her with a lot of gifts,” Bundy said. “But no one notices how hard she works to get to the level she is. She’s added a piece to her game all four years at Brossart and she’s a complete player because of it.”

5 most harmful invasive plants and animals in Kentucky Ayana Archie Louisville Courier Journal USA TODAY NETWORK

The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources has a list of 26 “nuisance species” considered severe threats to the state.

Invasive species are those that are introduced from other parts of the world that adapt and often dominate new areas, due to factors such as having little to no predators, high intelligence and high reproductive rates.

While more than a couple of dozen invasive species have made their way into Kentucky, there are fi ve in particular the department considers the most threatening:

Asian carp Four major species of Asian carp are found in Kentucky: grass carp, black carp, silver carp and big head carp.

How did they get here? The fi sh species is native to southeast Asia. The silver and big head carp fi rst began appearing in Kentucky in the 1970s. Grass carp were introduced in the U.S. around 1963 and escaped in the ‘70s.

The fi sh were brought to the U.S. for “diff erent biological control measures,” such as controlling snail populations, water reclamation and aquaculture (the breeding and harvesting of fi sh, algae and other organisms), said Andrew Stump, a biologist at Kentucky’s Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources.

Where in Kentucky are they found?

Grass carp are found throughout the Ohio River basin. The furthest up the river black carp are located is in the John T. Myers Pool, near the Newburgh Lock and Dam. Silver carp occupy several of Kentucky’s lakes, including Lake Barkley and Kentucky Lake. Silver carp are also established near Louisville, in the McAlpine Lock and Dam. Big head carp populations extend as far as Pennsylvania because they migrate longer distances. But here in Kentucky, they can be found in large river systems, such as the Kentucky River, Green River and throughout the Ohio River, according to Stump.

What do they eat? Grass carp eat

Asian carp like this pair of 25-pound Silver carp fi sh spawn at four times the rate of sport fi sh like crappie, bluegill and bass, threatening the $1.2 billion sportfi shing and tourism industry of the Land Between The Lakes region in western Kentucky. JOHN BEASLEY, SPECIAL TO THE COURIER-JOURNAL

larger aquatic plants. Silver and big heard carp are fi lter feeders and eat plankton and other microscopic plants and animals. Black carp eat mussels.

What eff ect are they having on native wildlife? The variation that has been most impactful is the silver carp.

They colonize rivers rapidly and “muscle out and move into spaces where native species are,” Stump said. They take up space and eat much of the plankton native species rely on.

Black carp eat already endangered, native mussel species. Grass carp “can really strip off banks of neutral buildup of healthy vegetation,” which some fi sh use as protection and helps diversify the bank’s active species, Stump said.

When native vegetation is stripped, other invasive species, like hydrilla, can move in and make the area homoge-

nous.

What is being done about them?

The fi sh and wildlife department has monitoring and containment programs for the carp, in which it surveys areas to see where populations are expanding or decreasing. It also allows contract and commercial fi shing in some areas to help control the species.

Zebra mussels How did they get here? The zebra mussel is native to the eastern European region, in the Black and Caspian seas. It was introduced to the U.S. in the mid-to-late 1980s. Mussels were released by container ships dumping water. They fi rst showed up in Kentucky in 1991 and spread through larger river systems.

Classifieds

Where in Kentucky are they found?

They are located throughout the Ohio and Kentucky rivers. The species does not adapt well to high-fl ow bodies of water, so the state’s dam systems have helped the mussels fl ourish.

What do they eat? They are fi lter feeders and mainly eat plankton.

What eff ect are they having? Zebra mussels compete with native wildlife by taking up valuable nutrients and space.

They can also aff ect water chemistry, causing algae blooms. The mussels have also had signifi cant commercial and aesthetic impacts, as they attach to hard surfaces and other animals in large numbers. They can get stuck in pipes, on boats and motor systems and cover beaches, which may aff ect access.

Invasive

the foliage of the plant, it has a network of tubers that allow the hydrilla to easily reestablish itself.

If you encounter the species, never transport it. Don’t dump bait or water from one location to another, as fragments of hydrilla can mingle with it. The department also recommends you inspect and “clean, drain, dry” your fi shing and boating equipment.

Continued from Page 6B

What is being done about them?

The department recommends you “clean, drain and dry” and inspect equipment. It is also eff ective to disinfect surfaces that have been around water.

Chemical treatments may also be applied. However, Stump said the department’s education and outreach approach has been very effi cient and helped stop the organism from moving into internal lake systems.

Bush honeysuckle Where in Kentucky is it found? The plant can be found throughout Kentucky, but the “problem areas” are in the central region of the state, such as Louisville, Lexington and surrounding counties, according to biologist Ben Robinson.

How did it get here? The bush honeysuckle plant is native to northeast China, Japan, Korea and far east Russia.

It was fi rst brought to the United States in 1898 for use in the New York Botanical Garden. It has been used for wildlife cover, soil erosion control and as a decorative bush. It began spreading into natural areas and reproducing on its own, according to the Kentucky Native Plant Society.

What eff ect is it having on native wildlife? The plant spreads easily; its seeds are carried mainly by birds and other animals. It is also extremely fl exible and can grow “just about anywhere,” Robinson said, including the sides of rocks or in heavily shaded areas. Because of this, the plant chokes out understories of forests, which creates increased competition for native plants.

What can be done about it? “It’s really hard work to get rid of it,” Robinson said. It’s not impossible to eradicate the species in places it shouldn’t be, but in order to fully do so, it requires cutting the plant and treating the source with herbicide. You’re not done there, though. Follow-up treatments are necessary, and because the plant is so widespread, it can be a tedious and labor intensive task.

Financial assistance is available through the U.S. Department of Agriculture for homeowners trying to get rid of the fl ower.

Wild pigs Where did they come from? Common wild pigs are hybrids of domestic farm pigs and Eurasian wild boars. The Eurasian wild boars were brought to the U.S. by settlers in the 1500s to provide more hunting opportunities, according to Terri Brunjes, a biologist with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources.

Where are they found in Kentucky?

There are several isolated populations of the pigs throughout the state. However, the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources does not share specifi cs of the pigs’ location to try to curb hunting of the animals. “It interferes with our eradication eff orts,” Brunjes said.

What do they eat? Wild pigs eat pretty much anything, Brunjes said.

Their main diets include plant matter, such as roots, tubers and corn crops, as well as earthworms. However, they also eat acorns, frogs, salamanders and disrupt ground-nesting birds by eating their eggs.

What eff ect are they having on native wildlife? “They are the perfect invasive species,” Brunjes said. “They are highly intelligent. They have high reproductive rates, no natural predators.

They can eat anything, and they can live anywhere...They are one of the greatest natural resource challenges we face.”

The pigs’ diet causes increased competition for food in areas where they are present. They drive out deer and turkeys, destroy forest fl oors by digging and disrupt water quality by wallowing.

What is being done about them?

Kentucky is one of the only states in the southeast where the wild pig population is declining, due to the state’s aggres-

A cornfi eld was destroyed by a group of wild pigs. The pigs eat plant matter, such as corn, roots and tubers. TERRI BRUNJES, KENTUCKY DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE RESOURCES

sive trapping program, according to Brunjes. In problem areas, remote-controlled traps and cameras are put in place. Biologists must monitor how many pigs are present in the area and trap them all before closing the trap door. Otherwise, if only a few are caught, the others are smart enough to leave the area or become “trap shy,” Brunjes said.

Kentuckians also should not shoot at the pigs. “You may kill one or two, but you’ve educated the rest,” she said.

“They become nocturnal, they leave the area, they avoid all human activity, they avoid traps, and then we can’t fi nd them again. So, by the time we catch up with them, all the females in that group have had another litter. You end up with more pigs you removed to begin with.”

Instead, Brunjes urges those who spot a wild pig to report it to the department by visiting this site and clicking “report.” The department also provides free, professional pig tracking services.

Hydrilla Where did it come from? The plant, also known as water thyme, is native to Asia. It was fi rst brought to the U.S. in the 1950s for use in aquariums. Variations of the species began showing up in Kentucky as early as 1999.

Where in Kentucky is it found? The plants are prominently located in the state’s Western Fishery District, near Kentucky Lake, and in the Eastern Fishery District, in Dewey and Paintsville lakes. They are also in the Ohio River and Cave Run Lake, about 70 miles east of Lexington.

What eff ect are they having on native wildlife? The plant is able to reproduce asexually, using only female or male parts, and vegetatively, meaning fragments of the plant can begin a new colony.

“They tend to just choke out large stretches of bank where they just have suffi cient access to light,” Stump said.

“So, no matter what is growing there, they sort of just take over and create this monoculture in the systems that they infect.”

What is being done about them?

The state’s Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources has district managers who report problem areas, Stump said. Eff orts to combat the plant largely rely on early detection. The area is then treated with herbicides.

“It is surprisingly resistant, and there are even some strains of hydrilla that are completely resistant to some of the most eff ective herbicides that you can use on it,” Stump said.

Even if the herbicide is eff ective on
