Emergency Shelter of NKY is in a tight spot Program is entering it’s 10th year with continuing hopes for a larger building Nancy Daly Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COVINGTON – A laundry machine spins in the otherwise quiet Emergency Shelter of Northern Kentucky.

In a few hours, those seeking shelter – folks needing a bed, a meal, a shower – will form a line outside on Scott Street.

A tour of the 3,900-square-foot building shows rows of bunk beds, neatly made with a hodgepodge of different colored blankets and sheets but packed tightly into dormitory-style rooms.

“We’re averaging about 76 guests a night,” said Kim Webb, the Covington shelter’s executive director.

Expect that number to grow when a cold snap hits. Then, staff and volunteers will make room for anyone seeking shelter. They’ll arrange mats on the floor if necessary for guests to stay around the clock. Usually, potential guests start lining up outside at 5 p.m. Normal hours are 6 p.m. to 9 a.m.

“We are always over capacity, always,” Webb said, careful to turn off lights as we move room to room.

There is only one shower, one bathroom for men, and one bathroom used by women and staff. Two folding tables in the compact front area hold meals brought nightly by volunteers: pasta, soup, burgers, tacos. There is no dining hall.

A closet containing donated clothing is stuffed almost to the ceiling. There is no space for new donations.

“This building was never designed to be a permanent location for us. We knew ... in 2008 that this was a temporary location for us. We have worked over the years to find our permanent home.

We have really faced a lot of challenges to make that a reality.”

Financial support from the community is actually strong as the shelter en-

ters its 10th year, Webb said. Ninety-five percent comes from private donations and grants. Five percent comes from governments in Boone, Campbell and Kenton counties. And the shelter has close to $1 million in the bank for a new building raised in a capital campaign started in 2013.

“We like to think we do a lot for folks with very little,” the shelter’s board president, Jason Reed, told Boone County Fiscal Court on Nov. 27.

Webb estimates it costs $22 to shelter an individual for one night.

“People just need a bed to get into for a couple of nights before they can repair relationships, before they can find another job and get that first paycheck,” Webb said.

So what are the obstacles to finding a larger space?

Zoning issues and NIMBY – which stands for “not in my backyard” – attitudes have been factors, according to

Webb and Kenton County Judge-executive Kris Knochelmann.

“Nobody wants a cold shelter in their backyard, I understand that,” Knochelmann said.

But Knochelmann is hopeful a regional task force on homelessness, suggested last year by Kenton County Commissioner Jon Draud, will result in an evidence-based solution to the location issue.

Meanwhile, the task force is learning about contributions of a host of agencies dealing with homelessness and communication is being fostered among counties and school districts regarding shared responsibilities in dealing with growing homeless populations.

“It’s turned out to be a much bigger project” than first envisioned, Knochelmann said. A goal is to gather as much data as possible to make the best decisions. There is no silver bullet, he said.

“It’s a complicated issue ... I’m confi-

dent that if we sit down, we openly share the facts and opinions that we have, we can set the model for the country,” Knochelmann said.

“I think we can get our hands around this.”

Finding consensus on the future of the shelter is likely to be a challenge, as immediate needs must be weighed against long-term growth of the homeless populations and economic realities.

“A large percentage, over 60 percent of the people that we shelter, actually are from Covington, you know,” Webb said. Lesser numbers come from Campbell and Boone counties. “We also are multistate, right? People move here for jobs and can’t find housing. So there are a lot of moving pieces. And ultimately, I think to answer this, it comes back to our mission. And our mission is to provide life-saving shelter.”

Local family commits $500K to new cancer center construction Melissa Reinert Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

EDGEWOOD – Dr. Lawrence Brennan and his wife, Karen Enzweiler, are committed to cancer care.

Recently the couple gifted the St. Elizabeth Foundation $500,000 for the new cancer center under construction at St. Elizabeth Edgewood.

“This will be part of our legacy,” said Enzweiler, adding the couple dispensed with the idea of making their gift anonymously because they want to inspire others to give.

“We need people to know we think enough of this medical center, this cancer center, to step forward with this gift,” Brennan said. “We need people to know how important this is."

Brennan, an oncologist for 39 years, practices at St. Elizabeth Cancer Care Medical Oncology. He and Enzweiler have lived in Fort Thomas for 35 years, where they raised their five children.

Vent Haven receives $200,000 for campaign World’s only museum for ventriloquism hopes to get a larger location Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The world’s only museum dedicated to ventriloquism is looking for a new home and the charitable arm of one of Northern Kentucky’s largest home builders is helping that happen.

The Drees Homes Foundation has pledged $200,000 to Vent Haven Museum, a ventriloquism museum in Fort Mitchell. Vent Haven is hosting a capital campaign for a new facility due to lack of capacity in its current location.

According to Vent Haven, the Drees Homes Foundation team toured the museum and recognized the clear need for accessibility and additional space.

“We are overwhelmed by the generosity of the Drees Homes Foundation,” director and curator Lisa Sweasy said.

“This is the largest single gift the museum has received, and we are very grateOne of the ful for this show of museum’s support for us and our oldest pieces mission.” is a Goldston Vent Haven said Head, dating the capital campaign to the 1820’s. is now more than halfIt is made of way toward its goal of papier mâché $1 million. with glass “The new facility eyes. will eliminate several current barriers for both tourists and collection management. It will be fully accessible, provide space for onsite educational programming and research, have restroom facilities, and more,” museum officials said.

Inside four buildings, including a former garage, there are nearly 1,000 ventriloquists’ dummies plus photos, playbills, books and everything in between.

In the more than 40 years since its opening, the collection has doubled in size but the square footage of space has remained the same, museum officials said.

“Every guided tour is tailored to the visitor, and it’s never the same tour twice. Vent Haven Museum is a place that needs to be seen to be believed,” museum officals said. “Vent Haven Museum is so grateful to the Drees Homes Foundation for leading the way to help many more people in Northern Kentucky and from around the world experience this amazing collection and local treasure.”

Kentucky Parent of the Year lives for her children Rebecca Huff Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

LUDLOW – A modest five-bedroom home sits on Elm Street nestled in between two other houses. It has endured countless bare feet pitter-pattering across the hardwood living room floor. It harbors all dropped toys and crumbs that aren’t picked up by the dogs or cats.

It is the home of Nancy Clary and her family.

Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin recently honored Clary with the 2018 Parent of the Year award for the Northern Bluegrass Service Region.

Clary explains that although the weighted, glass trophy was physically awarded to her, it’s a prize for the entire family.

“They (the children) were excited because they took it as it’s for the family, not just for me, but for all of us,” she said.

Clary has adopted, fostered and has been a guardian for many children.

Unraveling the Clary family tree can be complex. How many children are biological? Which ones are adopted? But

Shelter Continued from Page 1A

While Webb would like to see the space issue dealt with most urgently, smatterings of discussions have arisen elsewhere about the need for shelters in surrounding counties.

“People are always shocked to find out there’s a shelter required in every county for animals but not for homeless folks and that’s by Kentucky statute,” Reed, the board president of Emergency

these questions are non-essential. She is the mother or Nana, an endearing term used instead of Grandma, of more than 20 children.

“I forget that it can be confusing unless you have been here and done this,” Clary, of Ludlow, explained. “It’s a whose-whose game when people ask me.”

The Parent of the Year lives for her children.

"Since they've come into my life, it's all about them and I've enjoyed it being all about them,” Clary said.

That act of love and care is what her oldest daughter, Tracy Record, admires most about Clary.

"She always thinks of others before herself,” said Record, of Alexandria.

"She is a wonderful teacher to all of us and she taught me to never judge anybody.”

Clary takes all her children, ages 5 to 42, and grandkids to Kings Island during the summer and WinterFest during the winter. The Clary family goes on vacations together to Gatlinburg and every five years they go to Disney.

Although Clary didn’t adopt all the

children she fostered, she was happy for the parents that were able to get their children back.

"I enjoyed the foster care just as much as adopting. With fostering, you not only get to watch the child grow but you get to watch the parent grow," she said.

Clary explained that some parents

just need a little help. In her case it usually took the parent six to nine months to “work the plan,” a term she uses to explain to her children the steps their mom or dad needs to take to get them back.

According to her, those steps include being drug-free, getting and maintaining a job and providing the child a safe place to live. The parent is then given resources to aid them.

“I feel like Kentucky does an exceptional job, my workers, did an exceptional job,” she said. “They do an exceptional job for a job that's really hard to do.”

Although Clary is finished with the foster-to-adopt program she urges young people to join the program.

“The foster care system is so overwhelmed right now. I'm finished because I have five and there's a limit to adopt five,” she said. “With my five and just being my age, it became a thing where I thought, well, it's time, I need to stop.”

For more information on the fosterto-adopt program, visit the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services.

Shelter, told Boone Fiscal Court.

“We’d love to see an appropriate shelter available in each community to address that crisis of homelessness, primarily because people achieve better outcomes when they’re able to stay closer to their communities,” he said.

“Their jobs are often there, their kids are going to school in that area. So we’d love to see some kind of shelter in every Kentucky county but meanwhile that financial support (for the Covington shelter) is critical.”

Career center to offer extended hours Melissa Reinert Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COVINGTON – With an increase in Northern Kentucky job seekers, the Kentucky Career Center's Covington location will expand its operating hours into the evening effective Jan. 8.

On Tuesdays, the center will remain open until 6:30 p.m.

“We realize the need to be accessible to our customers who aren’t able to take advantage of our services during normal business hours," said center operator Correy Eimer. "We’re here to serve the public – both job seekers and businesses – so if we need to adjust how we operate to better meet the needs of our community, then that’s what we’ll do."

Eimer said, however, that not all Kentucky Career Center partners will have

speaks volumes about the quality of care we will be providing at our new Cancer Center,” said Dr. Douglas Flora, executive medical director of Oncology Services for St. Elizabeth Healthcare.

“This center is being designed with our patients' experience as our driving motivator, and that’s another reason Dr. Brennan and Karen’s gift is so significant – it goes right to the heart of this center’s new focus."

According to Flora, the center plans to treat patients like family members.

Their quality of life is something "we take just as seriously as we do fighting

This donation, he said, sends a strong message to the patients and families of our community that this place is about much more than chemotherapy.

Brennan and Enzweiler have specifically designated their gift to support the special Palliative Care Center that will be located within the Cancer Center.

Palliative care is care given to improve the quality of life of patients who have a serious or life-threatening disease, such as cancer. Palliative care is an approach to care that addresses the person as a whole, not just their disease, according to the National Cancer Institute.

The Palliative Care Center will bear their names.

Viewpoints Cash in gift cards while returning the ugly sweater Sandra Guile Guest Columnist Community Recorder USA TODAY NETWORK

The first few weeks after the busy holiday season could include using new gift cards, returning presents that weren’t quite right, or exchanging items that just aren’t your style. Retailers are ready for this influx of activity and typically offer post-holiday sales to encourage the use of gift cards. However, they also tend to tighten their return policies at the same time. There are a few details consumers should keep in mind to avoid issues with their gift cards or company return policies during their New Year’s shopping sprees.

According to giftcards.com, at least one-third of the annual $100 billion spent purchasing gift cards is spent during the holiday season. While many people who receive a gift, card use it right away, some people may decide to wait for an opportunity to utilize their card. On average, $2 billion worth of gift cards go unused every year, as reported by the National Retail Federation, and this inactivity can cause issues for both retailers and consumers. BBB receives numerous questions and complaints about what to do when a gift card is lost or stolen or what to do with an outstanding gift card for a business going bankrupt.

Many people don’t realize is that federal rules govern gift card sales. These rules cover potential issues like longterm inactivity or a missing or stolen card. Gift cards that have been purchased or reloaded with additional money can’t expire for at least five years, and any expiration dates must be clearly indicated on the card. If in that time a retailer files for bankruptcy, they may still be required to honor the card, or they refer customers to a competitor who will fulfill the remaining balance.

While retailers must follow the rules when it comes to gift cards, customers are the ones who must obey the instructions for return policies - especially during post-holiday sales restrictions.

BBB recommends that consumers read the return/exchange policies thoroughly before heading to the store. Return policies for holiday and clearance items may be different than those for items sold at regular price; the same can be said for merchandise sold online. Every store has a unique policy, so it’s im-

portant to understand it before attempting to return or exchange something.

After reviewing the retailer’s policies, find the gift receipt for the item, and, if possible, gather the original packaging or tags. To deter shoplifters who return stolen merchandise for cash, many retailers deny returns without a receipt. However, even though stores require a receipt for a monetary payout, customers may be able to get store credit or an exchange for something of similar value without one.

Most retailers have a fixed time frame for how long a consumer can bring back unwanted pieces, to determine the time frame for returns and exchanges on your items. The policies that determine what can be brought back also apply to the length of time people have, so clearance or sale items may also be under a different time frame than regular items. It’s best not to wait too long; make plans to travel to the store and trade in your items as soon as possible.

Additionally, some retailers may charge a restocking fee for returns on electronic products or large-ticket items. If you plan on returning a hightech or expensive gift, keep the original packaging.

When returning a gift that was purchased online, some customers may not be refunded for the original shipping fee; some may even be required to pay a separate shipping charge to send the item back. Depending on the retailer’s policy, the merchandise may be returned at a brick-and-mortar store, but they’ll still charge for the cost of shipping the item.

Now that the holidays are over, and stores are offering steady sales, make the best use of your gifts, whether that means using those gift cards or returning those less-than-ideal presents. Before heading out to a store, use the retailer’s website to check their return policy and visit bbb.org to look up their Business Profile.

Questioning teachers’ union membership Jim Waters Guest Columnist Community Recorder USA TODAY NETWORK

One reason membership in private sector labor unions has dropped dramatically in recent decades is that constituents began questioning whether losing a chunk of change out of their paychecks in the form of dues was bringing a reasonable return on investment. Teachers are also asking questions about their union membership.

Here’s one: If teachers’ unions are doing such a great job of representing the profession, why are fewer people choosing it for a career and why are more educators leaving the field?

U.S. Census data indicate that education held the highest share of majors among college students in 1975. By 2015, fewer than one in 10 Americans pursuing a degree were majoring in education.

A May 2017 study by researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles reports fewer than five percent of freshmen plan to major in education, less than half the number in the 1970s.

Union bosses and their enablers claim that stagnant pay and pension reforms are primary culprits contributing to teachers abandoning the classroom or college students choosing other areas of study.

Yet even the National Education Association, the nation’s largest teachers’ union, admits most teachers aren’t headed to the poor house; their own data shows the average teacher makes $58,353. And, an official report on average classroom teacher salaries in Kentucky shows teachers statewide made $53,450 in the 2017-18 school year.

Around eight percent of American

teachers left the profession during the past decade, nearly double the attrition rates in nations like Finland and Singapore, a decline that even the Learning Policy Institute acknowledged was due, at least in part, to a lack of resources and support for teaching in high-poverty schools that usually have high minority student populations.

Which leads to another question, especially for teachers paying dues to the Jefferson County Teachers Association (JCTA): Why does JCTA continue to oppose allowing the district to require experienced teachers to serve in the most troubled and lowest-performing schools when needed? Plus, why does the JCTA oppose offering these teachers meaningful financial incentives to make such moves?

Currently, in large urban districts like Jefferson County, the most inexperienced graduates often are placed in the toughest environments. This creates challenges many new teachers aren’t prepared to handle. Meanwhile, a tenured teacher enjoys a comfy spot in a wealthy suburban school and can say “no” to a transfer while pointing to their union representative.

Which leads to personal questions Kentucky’s teachers might consider regarding union membership: “Why should I continue giving up my hardearned money paying dues to an organization that gives lip service to representing poor and minority students then leads the charge against policies that would benefit those same student groups? Is that what I want to be associated with?”

January marks the 25th anniversary of Answers in Genesis Ken Ham Guest Columnist Community Recorder USA TODAY NETWORK

This month marks the 25th anniversary of Answers in Genesis. While incorporation papers were filed on Dec. 27, 1993, we consider January 1994 our ministry’s birthday, for that’s when we held our first seminars and printed our initial newsletter. As we celebrate the remarkable growth of AiG, including our attractions the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter, we want to pause to express gratitude to our Northern Kentucky neighbors for their wonderful support the past 25 years.

Today, this non-profit organization employs over 1,000 staff (full time, part time, and seasonal) who work out of four locations in Northern Kentucky.

The 510-foot-long Ark in Williamstown, dubbed the “Eighth Wonder of the Modern World” by many guests, and the high-tech Creation Museum in Petersburg now receive more than 1.6 million visits a year from guests from all over the world (91 percent from outside Kentucky).

On many summer days, dozens of hotels are filled with our visitors, as upwards of 12,000 guests a day will enjoy our world-class attractions.

It’s highly unusual for attractions to see bigger attendance than they experienced in their inaugural year, yet both the Ark Encounter (21⁄2 years old) and Creation Museum (opened 2007) have seen their visitor numbers grow.

And we continue to expand. As part of our “Operation Upgrade” at the museum, a state-of-the-art 4D theater opened last August, a large new parking lot was put in, and our exhibit hall is

now being updated with stunning new displays. At the Ark Encounter, a huge multi-purpose center with a 2,500-seat auditorium will open in April, and the Ararat Ridge Zoo behind the Ark will double in size by summer.

The world’s media frequently visit the Ark and the museum. Reporters have filed several hundred stories, helping to put Northern Kentucky on the map. This region is now America’s leading faith-based tourist destination.

As our attractions grow and more people visit, even more tourism dollars will pour into the region and additional sales tax will be generated for Kentucky (which lessens the tax burden on taxpayers).

AiG, which employs several full-time scientists with PhD degrees from Ivy League schools and other well-known universities, has sister offices in Australia, United Kingdom, Canada, Mexi-

co, and Peru. About 30 million people visit AiG’s websites every year, and each month we fill several thousand online orders for our books, DVDs, and other AiG resources at our massive warehouse.

We look forward to seeing additional growth at our Northern Kentucky sites and building on the friendships we’ve cultivated over the years. We are so grateful not only for the support of the general population, but also elected officials, pastors, and business leaders. We also look forward to continuing to work with the various Chambers of Commerce in the region and tourist agencies like the NKY Convention and Visitors Bureau. And most of all, we give praise to our God for the international impact AiG is having, based right here in Northern Kentucky.

Sports Madison Temple sets high performance goals for herself

Mel Webster Guest Columnist USA TODAY NETWORK

Jon Richardson Cincinnati Enquirer | USA TODAY NETWORK

For Thomas More University and senior guard Madison Temple, excellence has turned into expectation.

As Temple – an Anderson graduate – entered the program, the Saints were on the heels of a 33-0 season capped off by a national championship. She helped continue that trend, assisting the squad to another undefeated campaign and Division III crown in 2016 as a freshman.

In the past two seasons, though, the Saints have fallen a bit from grace. Though they only lost a total of three games in that span, the established benchmark of a national championship has eluded their grasp. The program has taken a back seat to Amherst College, who are in the midst of their own run of back-to-back titles.

Instead of relenting and recoiling, Temple views the adversity as an affront. And through she was named a first team all-American and Great Lakes region player of the year by D3hoops.com last season, she has worked meticulously to further improve and expand her game.

“As a team, I just want to win the national championship again,” Temple said. “I’m just trying to do what I can to make sure that we win all of these games and eventually make it to the national championship and win a national championship. Coming up short last year was a little bit of a heartbreak for us.”

The eye-popping stats serve as a reminder that she and the Saints are far from bowing out of the national picture.

For the season – when this article was originally published – Temple was posting per-game averages of 23.9 points (top five in the nation), seven rebounds, six assists and 3.5 steals. She was shooting nearly 63 percent from the floor, more than 45 percent from three, and more than 88 percent at the line in the process. Temple’s efforts led the Saints to a 14-0 record and a No. 2 ranking in the country.

“I try to do a little bit of everything,” Temple said. “I just do what I can to help our team win. I’ve looked to attack the basket a little bit more on offense… be a little more aggressive. Even if I’m not shooting, I’m at least trying to drive and kick it out. I’m trying to facilitate more than I did last year and play better on defense than I did last year. Improve in each part of my game.”

The national media has quickly taken notice, pouring in the honors and accolades. Temple has twice been named the Division III player of the week by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association, been named the American Collegiate Athletic Association player of the week twice and has also been on the D3hoops.com national

team of the week.

“She’ll do what she needs to because she is so competitive and wants to win,” Thomas More head coach Jeff Hans said. “Everybody else feeds off of her with that part of it. But I think the biggest thing is the unselfishness to make her teammates better, along with herself.”

Along with the success and praise, though, comes a bigger set of cross-hairs on their backs.

“No matter if it’s a team in the top 25 or a team that’s not in the top 25, everyone always gives us their best game,” Temple said. “You just have to go into it knowing that you’re going to get their best effort, so you can’t take any plays off and you have to play each team as hard as you did last game.”

Target or not, Temple’s goals are clear – to continue establishing herself as the best player in the nation.

“I want to win the regional player of the year again,” Temple said. “That wasn’t even in my head before the season started last year and I got it. Also, I’m going for national player of the year.”

As the Saints continue to win games and Temple continues to fill up box scores, that goal becomes more realistic – and more inevitable – by the day.

NKY athletes make USA Today All-USA state football teams John Snodgrass Cincinnati Enquirer | USA TODAY NETWORK

USA Today recently released its All-USA state football teams. Among the hundreds of players across all 50 states and the District of Columbia, both Ohio's and Kentucky's teams featured plenty of local prep standouts.

In Northern Kentucky, Covington Catholic's Michael Mayer and Beechwood's Adam Derry earned the top local honors.

Mayer, a junior tight end, has verbally committed to Notre Dame while Derry, a senior offensive lineman, signed with Middle Tennessee State earlier this month. Both were named first-team All-USA offense in Kentucky.

The second-team offense features CovCath senior running back Casey JJ Courtney McGinness, Campbell County senior tight end Reid Jolly and Ryle senior offensive lineman Jake Gideon (Western Michigan signee).

On defense, no locals earned first-team honors but several made the second team. On the defensive line, Simon Kenton senior JJ Courtney (Mount St. Joseph verbal commit) was named All-USA.

He is joined by senior linebackers Kyle Kelly and Jack Coldiron and senior defensive back Logan Castleman.

Kelly goes to Newport Central Catholic and signed with Ohio while Coldiron attends CovCath and signed with Miami. Castleman is a Beechwood product and will play collegiate baseball at Wright State.

Tom Thacker, all-round champion Tom Thacker is the only man to ever play on an NCAA Champion, ABA Champion and NBA Champion team. He was also the only player in Northern Kentucky history to win a sudden death basketball game.

“I remember that game Thacker, now 78, told me a few years ago. We were playing in the Districts and we went to a third overtime. I didn’t take many long shots but in the huddle Coach Jim Brock told me “Thacker if you get it shoot it.” He remembers “We got the tip and I took about a 20-footer and it went in. We won in route to what would be a Region Championship season.”

Thacker attended William Grant High School in Covington, Kentucky and as a junior averaged 31.7 point per game leading the team to a 26-5 record in 1958. Senior year was even better for Tom averaging 33.8 points including 36 in his final KHSAA High School game, an 85-84 loss to Olive Hill in the Sweet 16 Quarterfinals.He was a three time All Area Pick for the Warriors.

Ed Jucker, recruited Thacker to lay for the Cincinnati Bearcats and he started for three years. The Cats won the Missouri Valle Conference his sophomore year as Tom averaged 12.3 points per game and was named All Conference. The Bearcats finished 27-3 and on March 25, 1961 he led a balanced attack to win the National Championship in overtime beating Ohio State. The following year Thacker averaged 10.2 ppg but the Bearcats finished 29-2 and this time won the National Title again beating Ohio State by a 71-59 score.

Senior year he averaged 15.8 points and led his club in assists with 4 per game once again marching to the National Championship game but this time being upset by Loyola of Chicago.

He was team MVP, All Conference for the third time and a Consensus All American.

Following his college success, he was drafted by the Cincinnati Royals where he played as a backup guard before retiring, however he came out of retirement in 1967 to play for the Boston Celtics when they won the NBA Title. Playing for several teams he ended up playing for the Indiana Pacers in 1968-69 when they won the ABA Championship, His final season was in 1970-71 with the Los Angeles Stars.

Thacker earned a bachelor’s and master’s degree from UC and from 1974-77 was the first African American coach at UC as the Head Women’s Basketball Coach, a teacher and Deputy Director of the Urban League in Cincinnati he later coaches semi pro basketball.

Tom is a member of the NKADA, the Ohio Basketball Hall of Fame, and the Northern Kentucky Black Hall of Fame. He owned a small business, Thacker Enterprises for several years.

A woman working at one of Covington's last strip clubs had just left her shift when she was shot by a 'regular' bar customer, according to a court complaint filed by Commonwealth Attorney Rob Sanders' office.

Police found Natasha Dawn Henderson, 35, unresponsive on Dec. 30, with multiple gunshot wounds shortly after 2:38 a.m. at Pike and Main streets. The intersection is nearly a mile away from Concepts Cocktails & Conversations on Scott Boulevard where Henderson worked.

Henderson was a passenger in a car stopped at the intersection. Video surveillance shows she got out of the car to engage with a car nearby that was being driven by the club DJ and a 'regular' customer at the bar where she worked.

Before she could reach the car, she was shot multiple times.

The car, a silver 2013 Camaro was seen speeding away after the shots were fired, according to court records.

Police have arrested the two Cincinnati men for the shooting. They have been charged with murder.

Patrick O. Blanchard, 33, of Roselawn, pleaded not guilty Monday in Kenton County District Court to a

charge of murder. David Shawn Vaughn, 24, of College Hill, is scheduled to appear in court on a complicity to commit murder charge. Both men remain at Kenton County Detention Center on $1 million cash bonds.

Vaughn, a DJ at Concepts, told police he gave the man, who he recognized as the regular customer 'Zo,' a ride. Vaughn said he saw 'Zo' shoot Henderson while stopped at the intersection.

Covington Police Department detectives and Vaughn identified 'Zo' as Blanchard.

Hamilton County court records reveal Blanchard was sentenced to community service on heroin trafficking charges in 2012. Covington police arrested Blanchard in October 2016 on public intoxication charges..

Henderson had been jailed 10 times since 2008 on various charges including heroin possession and public intoxication.

A Natasha Henderson Memorial GoFundMe page has been set up to pay for funeral expenses. The page said Henderson has two small children.

The mysterious show Paranormal Lockdown came to investigate Bobby Mackey’s Music World in Wilder, Kentucky for hidden haunts inside the music entertainment business.

The show aired while the country music “Honky-Tonk” celebrates 40 years of entertainment.

Viewers can see paranormal investigators Nick Groff and Katrina Weidman confine themselves inside the nightclub for 72 hours while they search for any evidence of paranormal activity. The show initally aired on Dec. 11, 2-18 at 9 p.m.in season 3 of Destination America.

While looking around Bobby Mackey’s business, they explored a potential “Portal to Hell.” Later in the season, they will go to the Monroe House in Hartford City, Indiana where they uncovered skeletal remains in a previous season.

Bobby Mackey, who owns the business, has not experienced the haunts personally, but over time has grown more used to people investigating the paranormal allegations. On its website, the establishment is called the “Most Haunted Nightclub in America.”

Originally, Mackey opened the business 40 years ago in 1978 with music on his mind. He had worked on a farm then on a railroad before going into music and starting his own business.

While his passion for guitar and music was what started his business, he soon learned of the paranormal stories surrounding his newly purchased property.

“It’s always been about the music for me,” Mackey said.

While preparing to open the business, a boy came and helped Mackey

with painting and carpenter work and would talk about paranormal things, Mackey said.

Since then, Mackey has learned more about the suspicion of spirits that surrounds his business.

"At first, I didn’t like it. I was afraid it would make people run away from the business and music, but instead it has brought interested people here," Mackey said.

In the basement of the nightclub, there are a variety of antiques. After realizing there was an interest from the public to view these objects, Mackey had them collected in a room so that visitors could take a look.

This led to him incorporating haunted tour as a part of his business. They run Sunday through Thursday in the afternoon for two hours. This has continued to expand into the option for visitors to try 5-hour paranormal investigation.

Douglas Hensley came to Mackey, investigated the alleged hauntings and published a book called “Hell’s Gate: The Terror at Bobby Mackey’s Music World” in 2011.

This book looks at the allegations of haunts that have occurred at Bobby Mackey’s Music World and the history of the slaughterhouse and well that are in the basement, Mackey said.

The well was discovered when a hole was chopped in the building’s floor.

This led to the discovery that the well had been used to bring alcohol into the previous casino establishment during the time of prohibition, Mackey said.

Mackey still enjoys writing music and continues to record songs. His business slogan connects the paranormal and musical sides of his nightclub.

“Come for the ghosts, stay for the music,” Mackey said.

The lucky winner will be drawn the last week of school. Thank you, Gold Star Chili, for your generous donation.

Thank You Fr. Robbins for all you have done for St. Anthony Parish and School.

$1.5 million combined gift expands substance abuse programming at St. Elizabeth Healthcare The Fifth Third Foundation, Jacob G. Schmidlapp Trust, Fifth Third Bank, Trustee and Charlotte R. Schmidlapp Fund, Fifth Third Bank, Trustee have collaborated to award St. Elizabeth Healthcare $1.5 Million in grants ($500,000 from each fund) for programming to address the opioid crisis and substance use disorder including services for pregnant and parenting women with substance use disorder.

Grant funds will be used for the expansion of substance abuse programming including staffing and resources for harm reduction efforts, prevention, treatment and recovery services, and public and prescriber education.

“St. Elizabeth has learned from experience the opioid epidemic is a complex issue which requires a community approach,” said Garren Colvin, President & CEO, St. Elizabeth Healthcare. “We also have learned to never under estimate the social issues people and their families are facing.”

The specific programming goals include connecting across systems for realistic, sustainable solutions, focus on prevention with youth to prevent the adoption of unhealthy behaviors, decrease the spread of infectious diseases and premature deaths, and provide treatment/support to people recovering from substance use disorders.

“Substance use not only affects those who are addicted but their family and loved ones,” said Heidi Jark, Senior Vice President & Managing Director, The Foundation Office at Fifth Third Bank. “Without the intervention, there is no opportunity to treat the disease of addiction. Addiction, overdose and deaths know no boundaries.”

According to the 2016 Kentucky Overdose Fatality Report, Kenton, Campbell, and Boone Counties remain in the top five counties in Kentucky for heroinrelated deaths. In 2017 St. Elizabeth’s five emergency departments treated 2,660 patients with an opioid overdose and 765 with a substance use disorder (such as alcohol, methamphetamine, and cocaine).

“We are proud of our ongoing commitment to serving our communities through philanthropy,” said Tim Elsbrock, Fifth Third Regional President and Member of the Charlotte R. Schmidlapp Committee. “Given the wildfire-like growth of this epidemic in our backyard, we believe our contribution to support the great work that St Elizabeth Healthcare is leading to address substance abuse with programming and education has never been more critical.”

Since 2015, there have been more than 1,300 babies born whose cords tested positive for opiates and other addictive substances, increasing steadily every year.

Many of these babies do not require medication. Of the 327 babies born in 2015 whose cord tested positive for opiates or other drugs, 106 babies were diagnosed with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) requiring pharmacologic treatment.

St. Elizabeth has responded to the addiction epidemic by hiring additional and dedicated staff, expanding services for treatment, and working with community partners on policies and infrastructure to address this complex issue. The expanded treatment services include the Baby Steps program for pregnant and parenting mothers with substance use disorder, the opening of the Journey Recovery Center (addiction service clinic), and the development of the emergency department Bridge Clinic services.

In addition, St. Elizabeth advocated for and hosts a community syringe exchange program in conjunction with the NKY Health Department, provided financial support of the NKY Helpline, and supplied Narcan rescue kits to first responders and families.
