IRS workers picket over government shutdown Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer | USA TODAY NETWORK
Furloughed federal worker Joe McDonald has enough money to pay one more mortgage payment on his family’s Fort Thomas home. “Then I’ll have to figure out what to do,” said the EPA worker as he held a “Stop the Shut-Down” sign Thursday, Jan. 10 outside an Internal Revenue Service processing center in Covington. About 40 people chanted statements pleading for an end to the government shutdown. “You spend money on food and that’s it,” McDonald said of his family’s finances. This was the second-longest government shutdown in the nation’s history, according to USA TODAY. On Saturday, the shutdown became the longest ever. About 800,000 federal workers are going without pay. President Donald Trump and congressional Democrats remain deadlocked on a deal the president wants to fund a barrier on the U.S.-Mexico border. Most of the government workers gathered outside the nearly half a million-square-foot tax processing center declined to speak out of fear of losing their jobs. Workers from Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky in National Treasury Employees Union chapters 73 and 9 stood for nearly an hour in below freezing temperatures on a busy corner at Fourth and Johnson streets. Many drivers on one of Covington’s busiest streets blasted their horns at the protesters’ request. Most of the nearly 3,000 “bargaining unit” IRS workers in Northern Kentucky offices are off work without pay, said Debbie Mullikin, chapter president of Local 73. The IRS employs up to 5,000 people in Covington at peak times. “I have single moms who have lost their daycare slots because they can’t afford to pay daycare,” said Mullikin. Workers and their families are at risk of becoming homeless if the shutdown wears on, she said. Mullikin said she knows one 30-year-old mother of three for whom federal work is her only income. “She’s not going to get a paycheck tomorrow or next month and her landlord is not willing to forgo the rent,” Mullikin said. About 240 IRS employees in Covington are at work without pay because they are deemed essential, she said. “I have folks who are working in there who have to pay for daycare to come to work, have to buy gas to come to work, and they’re not getting paid tomorrow,” Mullikin said. Back pay was given after the 2013 government shutdown, but that outcome isn’t guaranteed, according to a USA TODAY article. Congress and the president would have to work together to make back pay happen. The 450,000-square-foot processing facility along Co-

vington’s Fourth Street is scheduled to close sometime 2019. The IRS announced in September it would cut 1,800 jobs as more Americans file their tax returns online. The IRS operates other buildings in Covington and Florence that will remain open. “Demoralizing” is how Mullikin described the shutdown and consolidation of IRS services in Covington. Mullikin said she isn’t sure who is to blame for the shutdown, but that isn’t the point. “We’re standing on the corner because we want the government to know that we want to do our jobs,” Mullikin said. “We all took oaths to do jobs that we think are very important to the economy and the running of the government.”

Catholic girls high school Notre Dame Academy is negotiating with the Sisters of Notre Dame of Covington to take over the provincial house for school use. A national consolidation of the four Sisters of Notre Dame provinces into one has prompted the discussion, according to a letter from school president Laura Koehl to parents and alumnae. The order’s St. Joseph Heights building and grounds at 1601 Dixie Hwy., Park Hills, have been a convent, administrative offices and residence for 91 years. An assisted care living facility is also on the campus. The sisters have announced plans for a reconfiguration of the St. Joseph Heights property and construction of a new elder care facility at the St. Charles Community in Fort Wright, according to Koehl’s letter. Koehler said she has formed a task force with school board members to explore the feasibility of the school taking over management of the provincial center. The new national SND-USA province would lease office space and housing space for sisters. Task force members will visit the provincial center to evaluate how to eventually integrate the building into a school campus facility, Koehl said. Koehl’s task force includes school board member Sr. Mary Judine Lambert as the SND representative. The four U.S. provinces will be merged into one SND-USA organization by 2020, Koehl said. The other three provincial centers are at Chardon, Ohio, Toledo, Ohio and Thousand Oaks, California. Notre Dame Academy was founded in 1874 in Covington at the same time the sisters moved into Covington. The school moved to land next to the convent in 1963. NDA serves as a regional Roman Catholic school in Northern Kentucky and is nearly opposite the all-boys Covington Catholic High School. Koehl, a 1975 graduate of Notre Dame Academy, is the school’s first president who is not clergy. The school has an enrollment of 578 students in grades 9-12, according to the Diocese of Covington’s website. Annual tuition is 7,780.

Plans expected to be presented at Jan. 28 council meeting Melissa Reinert and Anne Saker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
FORT MITCHELL - Christ Hospital hasn't given up hope on coming to Fort Mitchell. Last June, the hospital's certificate-of-need for a $23 million ambulatory surgery center on the old Drawbridge Inn site in Fort Mitchell was denied. Christ has since filed an appeal, but shovels haven't touched the dirt at the vacant site. Redevelopment plans, however, seem to still be in the works. According to Fort Mitchell City Administrator Sharmili Reddy, representatives from Christ and Northern Kentucky-based developer Brandicorp will present a plan to city officials at the next council meeting Jan. 28. The meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. at the city building, 2355 Dixie Highway, Fort Mitchell. "We don’t have a lot of details to share right now," Reddy said. Christ Hosptial's chief development officer Vic DiPilla wouldn't divulge details but released a statement: “The Christ Hospital remains committed to the residents of Northern Kentucky who prefer and are asking for more healthcare options in the communities where they live. As such, we continue to work closely with the city of Fort Mitchell as we evaluate all the options for property use, including the planned surgery center.” Christ Hosptial's facility was expected to anchor the Fort Mitchell Gateway Project, developed by Brandicorp, to include a hotel, restaurants, retail businesses and apartments. Fort Mitchell Mayor Jude Hehman told the Enquirer in June that the city remains focused on the redevelopment project. "This site is prime real estate that will be successful, five years sitting vacant is long enough," he said. "We continue to work with Brandicorp, the developer, to move forward with the existing plans of the mixed-use area while St. Elizabeth and Christ Hospital continue their litigation regarding healthcare issues."

She helps others better understand death Cole Imperi has been interested in the subject since she was young Byron McCauley Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
On Sept. 11, 2018, Cole Imperi cleared her schedule and drove from her home in Covington, Kentucky, to Huntington, West Virginia. Her friend, Elizabeth Hiner, had delivered a stillborn son, Benjamin. She was 23 weeks along and devastated. She and her husband also had two young daughters. The family needed help with ways to cope. After all, who is prepared to lose a child, suddenly? Imperi, a dual-certified thanatologist, and death doula was their sherpa. “My role was to support the parents. You’ll never get answers as to why, but you can get an answer from ‘what can I learn from this?’ “ Imperi said. Imperi is not a funeral director. She does not wear a dark suit, nor does she drive a hearse. Far from it. She is 33 years old. The hair on the sides of her head is trimmed down to velvety fuzz. A shock of thick hair, usually in variations of purple and blue, sails over the top. Sometimes it’s coiffed and moussed. Sometimes not. Thanatology is the scientific practice of studying attitudes toward death and the meaning and behaviors toward bereavement. Imperi cannot remember a time when she wasn’t interested in understanding death. She suffered a lifethreatening illness when she was 14. She has been the victim of a violent criminal assault. She was diagnosed with infertility within the first year of her marriage. Those experiences have given her
deep empathy for others. “I think for anyone that has had trauma or loss, it is possible to become very proud of that thing that you have and carry it around like a jewel in your crown instead of something that you are trying to hide,” she said. “That is the key to death companioning, loss companioning.” Back in West Virginia, it was decided that Benjamin would be cremated. Imperi explained the process to Elizabeth’s young daughters, both under 6 years old. Benjamin died. She was going to take him away. In a few days, she would bring him home. They would celebrate. It was a different outcome than the family expected, but it was the ritual that mattered. Imperi cremated Benjamin. She returned with his ashes in an urn. The family met her at the car. Benjamin was home. “She was experienced in and specialized in death and we had not experienced anything this traumatic. We had never really dealt with loss. She set up everything, literally every step of the way. Honestly, it was such a wonderful experience,” Hiner said. Imperi, who holds a journalism degree from the University of Cincinnati, is a talented writer. Her blog is a living example of that. However, journalism was never her passion. Understanding death and helping others to understand it always has been, even when she was a child. So, she sought to merge her passion with her profession. Today, she is certified in thanatology. She teaches online courses on the subject through the Dallas Institute of Funeral Service, and lectures on how to handle death and loss throughout the United States. She is also a death companion or death midwife, which brings us back to West Virginia and the days she spent

with the Hiner family. Hiner said her family is not affiliated with a particular religious tradition but felt a spiritual connection to Imperi and the process. “I feel like I found light in it because of her support. Without her knowledge and wisdom, I don’t know how I would have made it through,” Hiner said. “She set up everything, literally every step of the way. Honestly, it was just such a joyous experience. I feel like, spiritually, it was something that was necessary for growth.” Bill Gupton, president and founder of the Heritage Acres Memorial Sanctuary, calls Imperi “a force of nature.” “She is passionate, committed, resil-
ient, unwavering in her mission to change the way we think about, and deal with, the reality of our own mortality,” he said. Imperi sits on the board of the sanctuary, set to begin operation next year. It will be Cincinnati’s first natural (“green”) burial sanctuary. Bodies will be cloaked in biodegradable material and buried. “She brings an energy and a determination to our project that is unrivaled,’ Gupton said. “Starting any new business, much less starting a burial ground unlike any other in the Tristate area, is no small task. But Cole has shown us that we are up to the task.” Last November, Imperi was a guest on the popular Ologies podcast with Alie Ward. Many of the listeners wrote that they were inspired to explore the field or began to shed their anxiety about death and dying. Imperi sees a broader purpose and hopes to develop a death education curriculum for school-age children. Many students come to school traumatized by death and loss encountered at home and on TV, she said, and that can negatively affect learning and the development of healthy coping skills. “I hope to develop a curriculum for death education for 1-4 graders, 5-8 and 9-12,” she said. “They have different developmental needs and their understanding of death and dying differs as they grow up. It’s important to develop curriculum that meets kids where they are, encourages resiliency and develops empathy. “We know how the brains of children develop to understand death and dying, but we are not bringing healthy conversations into the classroom – like preemptive ones. What happens then is it becomes a traumatic experience and then nobody wants to touch it. That’s a big-picture goal.”

Bring bowls of winning chili to Super Bowl table Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld
Is it too early to start thinking about that super bowl party? Not if Tom Feie’s chili is on the menu. Tom, an Eastside resident, shared his recipe that won first place in a corporate chili contest three years running. Yes, the chili takes a bit of time to assemble, but once it starts cooking, re-
quires little attention. Serve some fire crackers on the side. They stoke up the heat quotient with red pepper flakes. A word of advice: do not leave fire crackers out uncovered. Why? Every time you pass them you’ll be tempted to eat “just 1 more.” This is experience talking. Addictive is the buzzword here. Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educator and author. Find her blog online at Abouteating.com. Email her at rita@com munitypress.com with “Rita’s kitchen” in the subject line.

Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Bridget Johnson may have had accomplices in the alleged pilfering of $4 million in taxpayer money from Northern Kentucky's tourism bureau, according to a meetNKY news release. Johnson pleaded not guilty in Kenton Circuit Court Monday, Jan. 14 to three felony counts that each carries a maximum 20-year prison sentence. The former finance director for Northern Kentucky Convention and Visitors Bureau (meetNKY) appeared in person in a courtroom in Covington wearing a pink jail jumpsuit. She did not speak. A grand jury indicted Johnson Jan. 10 on counts of theft by unlawful taking of more than $1 million, unlawful access to a computer and abuse of the public trust of more than $100,000. A March 20 trial date has been set by Kenton Circuit Judge Patricia Summe. The former meetNKY finance director is the only person charged so far. No charges are being considered against any other bureau employees, said Pat Crowley, a spokesman for meetNKY. A lodging tax on hotel rooms in Kenton, Campbell and Boone
counties funds meetNKY. Kenton County Commonwealth's Attorney Rob Sanders' statement in Bridget court Monday about Johnson the chances more people may be charged indicates Johnson may have had help outside meetNKY. "There is a possibility of co-defendants at some point in the near future," Sanders said. Johnson siphoned money in the form of checks from the meetNKY's bank accounts from May 2017 to October 2018, prosecutors said. Bank statements from BB&T Bank, which discovered the missing funds for meetNKY, will be presented at trial as evidence, Sanders said. She sent the funds to various individuals around the country, Sanders said in a Jan. 10 Enquirer article. The prosecutor said he is "not very optimistic" of chances authorities will recover the funds. Monday's statement from meetNKY board chairman Tim Bray said the bureau continues to work with Sanders and national law enforcement agencies into criminal prosecution of Johnson and "alleged accomplices.". Attorney Jeff Mando and a forensic accounting firm specializing
in cases of embezzlement have been hired to recover missing money, according to Bray's statement. How much of the $4 million can be recovered is not known yet, Crowley said. "That's why the experts are being brought in," he said. Mando, an attorney with 35 years experience handling civil and government cases, hired Cincinnati-based Barnes Dennig & Co. to conduct a forensic accounting investigation. Barnes Dennig & Co. will recommend policies and procedures to improve meetNKY accounting practices and guidelines. "We are firmly focused on restoring public trust in our organization while continuing to support our important mission of attracting conventions, meetings and visitors to our region," Bray said. Judge Patricia Summe disclosed she is first-cousin to meetNKY president and CEO Eric Summe. She said she didn't think her family relationship would influence her ability to remain unbiased if Eric Summe has to take the stand as a witness. "I couldn't see this going to trial without his testimony," Sanders said of the need for Eric Summe to be a witness.
Former Bromley mayor indicted Donald Lee Jobe facing theft charges Max Londberg Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
A former elected official and fire chief of a Northern Kentucky city has been indicted on charges stemming from his alleged theft of public funds. Donald Lee Jobe, the former city of Bromley mayor and top firefighter, faces charges of abuse of public trust for stealing up to $10,000, as well as tampering with evidence and public records, theft by deception, theft by failure to make required disposition and fraudulent use of a credit card. The Kenton County Commonwealth's Attorney Office announced the indictment Saturday in a statement. The court documents allege: ❚ Jobe purchased computer parts that he claimed he would use
to build a city computer. Instead, investigators found the parts had been used for Jobe's gaming computer. ❚ He allegedly fabricated a story about the auditor telling him to seek $3,000 in city funds for his use as "petty cash." ❚ He purchased machine parts claiming it was for a city tractor, but investigators found the parts were only for Honda and Ford vehicles. Jobe owns both types of vehicles. When asked about the Honda parts, Jobe said he'd purchased those for his vehicle but had mistakenly submitted it as a public expense. ❚ After another elected official asked Jobe about a $1,200 purchase on the city's credit card, Jobe allegedly deposited $1,500 into the city's account and asked the elected official if they were "good now." ❚ Jobe also allegedly used public money to make purchases for remodeling at his house and con-
cocted a story about a man named "AJ Alan" who had performed electrical work at a city building. But when inDonald Lee vestigators looked Jobe into the $2,200 expense, they found no AJ Alan worked at the electrical company Jobe listed. Jobe had resigned as mayor in August 2017, about six months after search warrants were executed at his home. But Jobe remained in his position as the city's fire chief until his arrest in October 2018. During the investigation, authorities could not find receipts submitted by Jobe from a fourmonth span in 2016. The records were discovered in a safe in the mayor's office. Investigators concluded "Jobe removed the records in an effort to impair their availability to any investigation into Jobe's use of city funds for personal enrichment or gain."

FRANKFORT - The Public Service Commission is asking for feedback on two proposed utility rate increases in Northern Kentucky. A public meeting will be held Jan. 24 at Dixie Heights High School in Edgewood to provide information and gather feedback on both proposals. One is a request from Duke Energy Kentucky to increase its rates for delivery of natural gas. The other is a request by the Northern Kentucky Water District for a general rate increase. Duke Kentucky’s request would add about $5.78 to the typical residential customer’s average monthly bill, according to the company’s application. The water district is asking to increase residential rates by 11 percent over two years, which would total about $3.84 per month for a typical residential customer. Formal hearings in the cases are scheduled in February in Frankfort.
Edgewood is ranked among top 50 places to live in U.S. Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer | USA TODAY NETWORK
One Northern Kentucky city has been named one of the best places to live in the U.S., according to a new ranking from 24/7 Wall St. The study, published in USA Today looks at desirable community traits, like safe streets, a strong economy, affordability and a range of entertainment options. Edgewood came in at No. 17 nationally and is the best city to live in in Kentucky. 24/7 Wall St. created a weighted index of over two dozen measures to identify the best city to live in each state. They considered all boroughs, census-designated places, cities, towns and villages with at least 8,000 residents. Edgewood barely made the population cut, with 8,703 residents. In Ohio, New Albany took the state spot. The Columbus suburb came in at No. 35 nationally. Here’s what the study said about the two cities: Edgewood, Kentucky ❚ Population: 8,703 ❚ 5 yr. population change: +0.5 percent ❚ Median home value: $204,300 ❚ Median household income: $89,073 “The best city to live in in Kentucky, Edgewood is both wealthy and affordable. The typical household in Edgewood earns $89,073, nearly double the $44,811 median income across the state as a whole. Additionally, goods and services are about 11 percent less expensive in Edgewood than they are nationwide on average,” the study said. New Albany, Ohio ❚ Population: 9,384 ❚ 5 yr. population change: +25.3 percent ❚ Median home value: $492,400 ❚ Median household income: $191,375 “New Albany, Ohio, is one of the most affluent cities in the country. The median household income of $191,375 is one of the five highest of U.S. cities. Wealthier areas tend to have a number of livability advantages over low-income cities, including lower crime rates. There were just 36.9 violent crimes reported per 100,000 residents in New Albany, less than a tenth of the nationwide crime rate. New Albany also has many amenities for residents, including over 600 acres of parks and sports fields,” the study said.

Sports NKU goes viral after ‘football’ style play ESPN and CBS Sports take notice of team James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – Northern Kentucky University does not have a football team. Head men’s basketball coach John Brannen, who used to be an assistant at football heavyweight Alabama, is clearly a fan of the sport after bringing something that might be found in Nick Saban’s playbook to BB&T Arena Friday, Jan. 11. NKU went viral over the weekend after the Norse ran an unorthodox inbounds play with 11.8 seconds left in their eventual 68-64 win over Wright State. With the Norse leading by three, 6764, Dantez Walton was set to inbound the ball. The other four Norse players in action joined him on the baseline, spread out. Then, when Walton accepted the ball from the official, the other four ran upcourt like they were wide receivers, running routes of various lengths and shapes. Walton inbounded to Tyler Sharpe on the short route less than five yards away, but the Raiders were confused enough by the action that the Norse were able to play keep-away, with Walton and Drew McDonald also handling the ball until Sharpe was fouled in the frontcourt with 2.8 to play. Sharpe made one of two foul shots to clinch the win, a sweet one for the Norse, who lost both meetings with the Raiders last season. The play gained national attention over the weekend. Scott Van Pelt made
Northern Kentucky Norse guard Tyler Sharpe (15) drives to the basket against Wright State Jan. 11. He had 14 points, including a clinching free throw with 2.8 seconds to play. KAREEM ELGAZZAR
that the focus of his nightly “Best Thing I Saw Today” segment on ESPN SportsCenter. Major sports news sites reported on the play. CBS Sports did an interview with Brannen. "Dan Muller actually ran the play at Illinois State, so I have to give him credit," Brannen, told CBS Sports. "I saw him run it, and I liked it because of the fact that it allowed us to get the ball in-
bounds, because you never see it. And secondly, it put us in position to put our two best foul shooters in position to probably be the first and second options on the play, which was the main thing because we were up three with 11 seconds to go." NKU, 14-4 and 4-1 in the Horizon League, is in second place, half a game behind Detroit Mercy, who is 5-1 in
