From addiction to entrepreneur: Man hopes to inspire others with his story

Elliot Feltner rides the waves in San Diego where he is recovering from an auto accident. PROVIDED

What we reported: In October 2017, The Enquirer reported on Dixie High School graduate Elliot Feltner who was nearly completely paralyzed after a 2016 car accident involving drugged driving. Elliot was about to travel to San Diego, California, to participate in a stem cell research trial. Here’s what’s happened. Stefanie Feltner was helping her son Elliot into their SUV on a sticky summer day in sunny San Diego, California. Elliot’s wheelchair was half on the van lift when he heard tires roll up and a man asking: “Have you been surfing?” Elliot, 24, who has had little mobility since a 2016 car accident, turned to see a sandy-haired, athletically built John White sticking his head out the window of his Subaru. “Who’s he kidding,” Elliot mumbled to himself. “What’s this guy’s deal?” Stefanie was a little taken aback as well. White suddenly became persistent. “Have you been surﬁng,” he asked again, with earnest curiosity.

How to submit news

Elliot shook his head. Although he’d gone surﬁng when he was 10, that felt like a lifetime ago. “Well, come and go surﬁng,” White said. He did. But, we’ll get to that in a bit.

Elliot’s journey Elliot has spent most of the last year in San Diego. In the fall of 2017, with his mom, he left his Park Hills home to participate in a stem cell research trial. He is the first of four to be a part of the trial. In March of this year, Elliot underwent an invasive eight-hour surgery to allow for a stem cell transplant. His spine was literally cut open to transplant 1.2 million embryonic stem cells. After surgery, Elliot had to take medication that weakened his immune system so that his body would not reject the transplant. It was a difficult recovery, he said. Physical therapy has proven a challenge, but Elliot hasn’t set any limits for himself. “At first, I was really disappointed,” Elliot said, his dark eyes nervous but shining as his brown hair lay tousled atop his tan forehead. But then he started to see things happen within six months.

Although it has been very small movement in Elliot’s pinky, his mom Stefanie said it’s significant. It will have an impact on the study. They are now back home in Kentucky, but Elliot will need to visit San Diego periodically over the duration of the trial, the next five years. Elliot’s dad, Craig Feltner, looked into the trial since the car accident. He kept in touch with trial leaders. He even had friends write letters describing who Elliot is to give a better picture in terms of the whole person. “Stem cells will play an important role in the future treatment of spinal cord injuries – the abyss of the medical field,” Craig Feltner said. “This is not just about Elliot, but also the future of treatment for all those who have such injuries.” Elliot said he never quite understood the magnitude of his participation in the trial until he was at dinner with a friend who called him a “pioneer.” “I had never really thought of it like that,” he said. “I’m glad to have done this. I really did it for the sake of science. Mine was the first transplant at the cervical level. Someone has to do it

When Brad Wainscott spiraled down the path of addiction, he spiraled fast. His attraction to alcohol was all-consuming. His friends and family feared the worse. Life was losing its meaning. Everything was out of control. Though in a fog, he was able to see the situation wasn’t what his wife and children deserved. He wanted to change. “I had to make a lifestyle change,” he said. “With the support of my family and friends, I knew I was worth it.” So, he changed. Less than a year and a half later, the Fort Mitchell resident is still sober. Wainscott looks like your typical devoted dad, whose eyes light up when talks of his wife, Michelle, and three children Charlie, Will, and Libby. The capstone of sobriety is that also in less than a year, he’s gone from addiction to entrepreneur. On Jan. 25, Libby’s Southern Comfort made its debut at 35 West 8th Street, Covington. Wainscott is opening the restaurant with his close friends Jeremy and Kate Legge of Burlington. The restaurant, living up to its name, will oﬀer authentic southern comfort foods such as fried chicken, oysters on a half shell, fried chicken skins, and a

specialty: Goetta Hush Puppies. Wainscott, 40, has been in the restaurant business almost his entire life. His dad opened the Greyhound Tavern 30 years ago and still operates it in Fort Mitchell today. He started officially working there at age 15 bussing tables. “My dad showed me how to work hard and pay attention to detail,” he said. “It’s always been my dream to run my own place.” During college, he worked for his brother-in-law in Lexington at one of the city’s oldest restaurants, Merrick Inn. He served as manager for 10 years. Back home, he helped his dad open the Tousey House Tavern in Burlington and ran the place for nine years. “I just love it,” he said of the business. “But, this means more to me than opening my own restaurant. With this business, I’m showing my kids that I can overcome. You can always overcome obstacles. I want my kids, my family and I want anyone battling addiction to know that you can overcome.” The restaurant is named for Wainscott’s daughter who’s affection for their black lab inspired the logo, a silhouette of a pony-tailed girl and her dog. So far, the response has been great, even without an official opening, according to Wainscott’s partner Kate Legge. “It’s neat to be a part of this experience and sharing it with friends,” Legge said. “It’s been humbling. People have lined up before we’re even open for gift cards. They have been so encouraging. We want this to be a favorite spot for people - a place to go for good food and some comfort.”

NKY man’s use of Facebook for child porn leads to arrest

Hoxworth declares emergency blood need Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Max LondbergCincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

An Elsmere man pleaded guilty last week to possession and distribution of matter portraying a sexual performance by a minor. Prosecutors will seek a 10-year prison sentence for Larryn Montgomery, 21, at a hearing in March. His purchase of a new phone and wish to transfer his saved images of child pornography to it led to the discovery of the crimes, according to Kenton County Commonwealth Attorney Rob Sanders. Montgomery confessed to Kenton County Police that he wanted to transfer four images of child pornography originally downloaded to an old phone to his new phone. The only method he knew for doing so, according to a release from Sanders's Oﬃce, was to save them to

Facebook Messenger and then re-download them to his new device. Facebook ﬂagged the images and reported them to the Larryn National Center for Montgomery Missing and Exploited Children, according to the release. The NCMEC then reported the images to authorities. Sanders said in a statement that prosecutors handle about one child pornography case per week. "And there is no rhyme or reason to who the perpetrators are or what they look like. Old, young, rich, poor. ..." he said in the statement. "There are predators hiding among us!" Sanders also commended the work of Kenton County Police detectives.

Cincinnati's main blood bank has declared an emergency need for donors to give the most universally useful blood type for emergency transfusions. Hoxworth, University of Cincinnati posted an emergency alert on Twitter of an emergency need for Type O-negative blood. Type O-negative is considered the universal donor to enable emergency blood transfusions, according to the American Red Cross. People with Type O-negative are asked to visit hoxworth.org to schedule an appointment to make a donation. Hoxworth has donation centers in Anderson Township, Blue Ash, at the University of Cincinnati in Clifton, Springdale, West Chester, Westwood, and in Fort Mitchell in Northern Kentucky.

Former basketball standout indicted in rape case Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A former Covington Catholic High School basketball standout who once had a scholarship oﬀer from Xavier University was indicted on rape and sodomy charges Thursday, Jan. 31. Jacob Walter, 18, of Burlington, was arrested on Dec. 11. Walter, son of Bengals great Joe Walter, also had a protective order issued against him. An 18-year-old female had reported the rape a few days prior to Walter’s arrest, according to the Boone County

Sheriff ’s Office. The victim stated she was fearful of Walter, “due to his size, strength and aggressiveness” and told Walter that she did Jacob not want to have sex with Walter him due to her not feeling well that day, Boone County officials said in a news release. Authorities say on two occasions, Walter sodomized the victim while holding her down and pulling her hair, which resulted in physical injury. They say he dismissed the victim by laughing at her and telling her she would be fine. “The victim told a family member about the sexual assaults and the family member was able to get Walter to leave the residence,” authorities said. The victim sustained contusions to her right arm, contusions to her right breast and a laceration on her chest.

Walter has been held at the Boone County Detention Center on a $250,000 since his arrest. Court records indicate that Walter was charged as a juvenile in May with domestic violence, but the charge was dismissed and the documents in the case were ordered to be sealed. Walter graduated from CovCath in the spring of 2018. He was offered a scholarship to play basketball at Xavier, but is not on the roster. In August, the school confirmed Walter was not on the roster. Xavier’s previously confirmed that Walter is not under scholarship. A family member previously told The Enquirer they expected Jacob Walter to be back with the program in January. Walter was scheduled for arraignment on Wednesday. Enquirer media partner Fox19 contributed.

Roll up something sweet for Valentine’s Day Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

Good thing I’m short and have a good amount of “padding.” I had just gathered eggs and a wheelbarrow full of wood for the stove. This was when the temperature was in single digits. Well, I hit a patch of ice on the way back to the house. Down I went. The basket of eggs fell out of the wheelbarrow, along with some of the wood. No worries, I was ﬁne but was startled to see how quickly broken eggs could freeze. I eventually got everything back in order and was glad that enough eggs were saved to make a jelly roll for Valentine’s Day. Check out my abouteating.com site for step-by-step photos.

Can you help? Nalley’s French onion dip recipe clone I have requests for this recipe and somehow lost it. If you have it, please send to me and I’ll share it again. Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educator, Jungle Jim’s Eastgate culinary professional and author. Find her blog online at Abouteating.com. Email her at rita@com munitypress.com with “Rita’s kitchen” in the subject line.

Classic jelly roll Thought making a jelly roll was too tricky? Not so if you follow my step-by-step instructions. This is sometimes called a sponge roll. Ingredients 1 cup all purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder ⁄4teaspoon salt

3 large eggs 1 cup granulated sugar ⁄3 cup water

2 teaspoons vanilla Confectioners’ sugar 1 generous cup or so favorite jam, jelly or preserves Instructions Preheat oven to 375. Preparing pan: Spray a jelly roll pan, approx. 15”x10 “x1”, and place a piece of parchment paper on top. Spray parchment paper.

Making a jelly roll isn’t too difficult with good instructions. RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Blend flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. Beat eggs until thick and lemon colored. This is important and will take a few minutes. Beat in granulated sugar gradually. Blend in water and vanilla. Slowly mix in dry ingredients just until batter is smooth. Pour into pan. Bake 10-12 minutes - cake is done when it will spring back lightly when pressed in center. Don’t over bake or cake will be hard to roll.

Finishing up: Spread with thin layer of jam. Roll again. Trim edges. (Those are for you!). Place seam side down on platter. Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar. It’s even better the next day, after the jam has soaked into the cake a bit.

Rolling up:

Tip:

While cake is baking, sprinkle a towel with confectioners’ sugar.

“Oh no, my cake cracked!” It happens once in a while and means cake was over baked or was rolled too tightly. Not to worry, as long as you can roll it up. Confectioners’ sugar is a great culinary band aid - just add more to cover the cracks.

When cake is done, loosen edges and immediately turn upside down on towel. Remove paper. While cake is still hot, roll up on the long side into towel, using towel to nudge the cake along. (This initial rolling helps “shape” the roll). Don’t roll up too tightly as this could cause it to crack. Let cool 8-10 minutes. Unroll.

Brushing with liqueurs: Feel free to brush your cake with your favorite liqueur before spreading on the jam. Coordinate flavors and you’re good to go.

ﬁrst or things won’t advance. Our foot is in the door now. “I don’t know how much I’ll beneﬁt from here on out,” Elliot said with a stoic expression. “Time will tell. But, for others, there may be real progress down the road.”

Max Londberg Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

How he got here Elliot, a University of Cincinnati graduate, has been taking his time to appreciate the simple things, like moving his hands, eating and talking, since a near-fatal car accident in August 2016. He was cruising along Interstate 75 near Middletown when a car traveling about 100 mph plowed into his car. The other driver was under the influence of several drugs at the time of the crash, including marijuana, cocaine, Xanax and morphine, according to the Warren County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. Elliot still doesn’t remember much about the accident. He’s just grateful to be alive. At the time, then age 22, Elliot was pronounced dead at the scene twice. A severed spinal cord left Elliot paralyzed from the neck down. Although conscious, he couldn’t eat or speak. He was classified as a quadriplegic. Elliot also suffered severe damage to his windpipe and esophagus. Doctors said he would never be able to eat again and would have to be on a feeding tube for the rest of his life. They were wrong. “Elliot has always had a quiet confidence and determination,” his dad Craig said. This confidence and determination enabled Elliot to get through. His road to recovering has included two brain surgeries, three spinal surgeries, and two throat surgeries. Since then, Elliot was able to regain the ability to eat on his own and talk, as well as move his

arms and hands. He continues to focus on working toward his independence and he’s made great strides – physically and emotionally.

A turning point The turning point in his journey wasn’t continuing to breathe after the accident. It wasn’t the stem cell transplant. It was getting in the water and eventually riding the waves independently, Elliot said. When John White randomly approached Elliot during his stay in San Diego he wanted to share information with him about Waves For All. White and a few friends operate the nonprofit. Waves For All gives those who have disabilities the ability to surf, in many cases on their own. “It was really a great thing,” Elliot said. “John and the guys were wonderful. We just hung loose. I was able to learn upper body balance and gain the strength to eventually guide myself independently on the waves.” It was a lesson for living too, according to Elliot. In the ocean, the sticky heat clinging to his skin suddenly rolled away, as

did the injuries sustained during the car accident. His tousled brown hair ﬂowed evenly with the waters as he was able to balance his mind, his body and his spirit. No wheelchair, no other hands for assistance. It was an unforgettable ride, Elliot said.

Into the future In 2017, Elliot had a short ﬁlm shown at the Cleveland International Film Festival. It won him a student Emmy. He said he’s still interested in a career in ﬁlm and often dabbles in independent editing. Elliot is looking for more opportunities. Meanwhile, his mom Stefanie Feltner operates a Facebook page called Elliot Has No Limits. She provides updates and tidbits about Elliot’s journey. They also continue to hold an annual golf fundraiser under the same name and plan to use the monies raised to fund research and help other families. A year later, Elliot is still taking recovery moment by moment while appreciating even the most simple accomplishment, and he has indeed found himself without any limits.

A GoFundMe account redirected the attention given the harassment of a family with ties to Covington Catholic toward charitable giving. The account creator, John Andrew Hodge, writes that he is Michael Hodge's brother. Michael Hodge and his family were harassed after the Covington Catholic student was misidentified as Nick Sandmann. The account has raised more than $18,000 for the Mary Rose Mission, a Catholic organization that serves lowincome families and individuals in Northern Kentucky. The nonprofit provides meals to food-insecure individuals. "Michael has volunteered cooking and serving there," wrote John Andrew Hodge, "and I think it’s an excellent way to recognize him and have some good come out of such a bad experience." Nick is the CovCath junior whose image went viral after he and his classmates encountered Native Americans at the Lincoln Memorial last month. Nick and others wore "Make America Great Again" hats. Some felt the students – who performed the tomahawk chop and chanted and gesticulated while standing around the Native Americans – were mocking the participants of the inaugural Indigenous Peoples March. Michael Hodge, 19, was misidentified as Nick. Hodge and his family were celebrating a wedding when the threatening messages poured in. In an update posted this past week to the GoFundMe account, John Andrew Hodge wrote the family would present the money to Mary Rose. The nonprofit could not be reached Saturday.

Viewpoints I support my alma mater, something must change Adam Koenig Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

We have oﬃcially reached a turning point in the current frenzied media environment. The rush to judgment over the media-created debacle surrounding Covington Catholic High School has led to life-altering consequences for the school and community I know and love. Unfortunately, our nation has left behind the unifying principles that great leaders once championed. As a state representative from Northern Kentucky who represents many of the families connected to Covington Catholic, it disturbs me greatly to see a group of young men repeatedly harassed, denigrated and threatened. The race to opine about the shortcomings of a group of kids may have won some likes on social media, but it came with steep consequences for my alma mater. Covington Catholic, and the community at large, have suﬀered from numerous smears and vicious threats ever since the now infamous video went viral. Kids who aren’t even old enough to drive became victims of the social media rush to promote stereotypical narratives of left against right, rich against poor and more. Words like bullying, intimidation, and even racism were thrown around on Facebook pages and Twitter feeds, because a premature and incomplete video appeared to show teenagers in hats berating and harassing a Native

American man. Of course, that narrative began to crack as the truth came out. Longer versions of the video showed an entirely different version of events. In fact, the new footage makes clear that the moblike behavior came from a third group, an extremist organization who hurled vicious insults at the Covington Catholic student. The trouble actually started with these adult protesters seemingly seeking out kids as not only an audience, but their targets. There are many lessons for America to learn. This whole incident should lead to moments of reflection in our country. Why do people say horrible things on social media to people they don’t even know – and leave voicemails that make complete strangers cringe? And what happened to the journalistic integrity – including rigorous fact checking and examining all sides – that existed not too long ago? There was a time when Americans of all different colors and creeds were capable of putting their differences aside and uniting behind a common cause. Less than two decades ago, our country stood together after the tragedy of 9/11. Inspirational leaders like Ronald Reagan and Abraham Lincoln called on us to do better, and to rise toward our better angels. But now, the era of digital media and the rush to create headlines has created a dangerous and divisive environment, even for our children. The young man at the center of this controversy even revealed on national television that he and his family were the target of death

threats. Covington Catholic was forced to close school in light of harassment and threats as national media outlets descended on the community. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was as much outrage towards those who issue death threats and attempt to dox strangers? What started as a trip to celebrate the sanctity of life in our nation’s capital has indelibly altered the lives of not only these young men, but also our nation. Sadly, modern communications tools have in many ways become weapons of civil destruction, ruining lives and relationships at a rapid pace. While the methods of communication may change, human decency should not. The rush to make waves should never replace compassion for others – especially for kids who are trying to chart

their course in life. These modern communications tools should be used to model correct behavior. I don’t claim to be perfect in this sphere, but we should all strive every day to be better versions of ourselves, and the day to begin that is today. If experience is the best educator, maybe this time we will learn that truth is more important than sensational headlines. For the sake of our country, and Covington Catholic, let us hope that this is a teachable moment.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Transition away from plastic bags was easier than expected A letter to the editor “Plastic bags are recyclable” was helpful and informative. In additional I would like to make people aware that “Plastic bags are made from fossil fuels, and it requires 2.2 billion pounds of fossil fuel and 3.9 billion gallons of fresh water to produce the 100 billion plastic bags the U.S. consumes each year.

Sports Scott High School girls team preps for regional basketball run James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Cincinnati Enquirer readers voted Scott High School girls basketball as the Northern Kentucky Team of the Week, based on votes tallied on Jan. 25. Winning teams receive a feature that runs the following week. Statistics and information reflect this article’s original publication date on Jan. 31. TAYLOR MILL – Anna Clephane left a major legacy when she graduated from Scott High School last year and went on to play for Ball State University. Scott head coach Rhonda Klette wasn’t sure how she was going to replace Clephane’s 2,674 career points from last year’s roster. The answer came from sophomore Mya Meredith, who has stepped into the lineup and averaged 25 points per game for Scott, who is 17-8 through Jan. 30. Meredith averaged 17.5 last season for Newport, leading the Wildcats to 19 wins last year. She is doing the same after transferring to the Eagles. Meredith is starting to get Division I offers, including from Northern Kentucky University. “We started the season trying to figure out where we would get 27 points per game,” Klette said. “She took a bit of time to get started and figure out what her role is. She’s a tremendous scorer. She has really grown as a player. She understands the game and really reads the floor well. We try to pressure and trap and she does a great job of reading the traps.” Scott started 3-6 for the year, with losses to three local rivals who are in the top 10 in the state – Conner, Highlands and Ryle – plus defending 10th Region champion George Rogers Clark and defending state champion Mercer County. Scott has since won 14-of-16 and nine-of-10, doing so with two seniors, Summer Secrist and Emma Profitt. Secrist, a multi-sport talent and dynamic talent, is averaging 16 points and six rebounds a game. Profitt, a tall pres-

ence, has been a force inside. Sophomore Sofia Allen has stepped up her game this season with 12 points and six rebounds a game after averaging five a year ago. “Summer has really embraced the role as leader of this team,” Klette said. “She leads us offensively and defensively. Sofia has really stepped up her game this year. They’re both playing with a lot of confidence. Summer is developing her outside shot and hitting the three with confidence, and she and Mya play really well together.” Most of Scott’s recent games have been in the inaugural Kentucky 2A championships, a special tournament set up to be similar to the All “A” Classic. Scott won a sectional title, beating Mercer County along the way, and advanced to the final at the Owensboro Sportscenter arena, where the Eagles lost to highly-ranked Christian Academy-Louisville.

“It gave us a lot of confidence,” Klette said. “It was the first opportunity we had to play in a state tournament. Winning the sectional was huge for us. They did a great job of running the tournament and giving it a state tournament feel. We know if we play our game, we can do well at the end of the season.” Scott is looking to peak in the postseason, where the program has never won a regional title. The Eagles won a statement game over rival Campbell County Jan. 25, 78-47. The Eagles can get the top seed in the 37th District by beating Brossart Feb. 6. Scott will host state power Sacred Heart on Feb. 13. “We’ve been playing some pretty good basketball,’ Klette said. “We started off slow and we picked it up since Christmas Break. We’re understanding what we need to do as a team. We like to score a lot off our defense. When we do that well we seem to play well.”

Shay Horton climbs the rankings for Ryle wrestling program James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

UNION – Ryle has a deep history of accomplished wrestlers. The best of the best are pictured prominently in the gymnasium for everyone to see. Senior Shay Horton is rising up the list of greats as he approaches the end of his final season with the Raiders. Horton is tied for seventh in school history with 181 wins and has a chance to become the fourth Raider to reach 200. “It means a lot,” Horton said Jan. 16. “Hopefully I can go up on the wall with the rest of the greats. Wrestling with everybody is great. They’re like a family to me.” Ryle has had 15 individual state champions, none since 2015. TJ Ruschell, who won one state title and four regional championships, is safely in first place all-time with 219 wins. Horton is one of several current Raiders having big years. He is 39-5, and is ranked second in the state at 120. He finished fourth at 113 last year. Cole Thomas is ranked first at 106. He is 35-1 this season and finished third at 106 last year.

Noah Duke, a freshman, is fourth at 170. He is 35-5 this year. Among other leading winners are Cody Foster, Rusty Craddock and Stephen Watkins. “We’re a great team,” Horton said. “We’re young. We only got three seniors. We’ll grow continually over the years. It’s great. I love being out there helping them get better and they’re improving me too.” Horton would love to add to Ryle’s roll of state champions but is taking that process day by day. “I’m moving forward,” Horton said. “I’m taking it day by day, working hard. I love competing. It’s only me out there. It all relies on me.” STATE DUALS: Ryle went 2-2 in the state duals championships Jan. 26 at Lindsey Wilson College. Ryle ﬁnished ninth overall and Simon Kenton was 11th. Horton, Cole Thomas and Noah Duke were undefeated in the four matches for the Raiders. Simon Kenton was led by Trevor Frietsch and Rictor Morgan, who went 4-0 in the tournament. Scott ﬁnished second in the small

FLORENCE Freedom and Thorntons raise money to fight hunger The Florence Freedom and Thornton’s gas stations partnered this past season to raise $2,376.15 to fight hunger in the Northern Kentucky/ Greater Cincinnati Area. In 2018, partners offered a season-long specialty jersey concept where one player worn a completely different jersey than the rest of his teammates. That piece of game worn memorabilia was bid on nightly with proceeds from the silent auction going back to Master Provisions in Florence, Kentucky. Fans went home with a jersey, bellies were fed by Master Provisions. The ministry is focused on connecting resources to needs and helps distribute food to agencies or through monthly mobile food pantries and distributes clothing and shoes locally and internationally. Master Provisions also ships resources to international partners to help people become self-sustaining. “This was a promotion that got fans asking a lot of questions as to why his jersey is different from everybody else, and resulted in a lot of ‘that’s really cool’ responses when they learned what it was about,” Freedom VP/General Manager Josh Anderson said. “Getting to go home with our starting short stop or first basemen’s jersey while supporting the fight on hunger in our community was a winwin.” Thorntons, the 2018 sponsor of the promotion is committed to helping the fight on hunger in the communities they serve.

Be Concerned, a Covington-based food assistance agency, announced today it has acquired United Ministries, which has provided food help and other services to residents of Erlanger, Boone County and southern Kenton County since 1983. Under terms of an agreement ratified by the boards of both organizations, Be Concerned will take control of all UM assets and be responsible for continuing its programs and staff management effective Feb. 1. United Ministries provided services to nearly 300 households in 2018, with most of them getting help from its free pantry. The organization also furnished casework services, and operated a payee program and thrift store, offering free clothing and housewares to people especially in need. Under Be Concerned’s stewardship, UM customers should see little change in those programs, said Be Concerned Executive Director Andy Brunsman. “Our expectation is to provide the same quality of service at the Erlanger site as United Ministries did the past 35 years,” Brunsman said. “We are happy to carry on this tradition.” United Ministries started in 1983 and moved into its current site on Graves Avenue in Erlanger in 1998. Its pantry addressed a critical need, particularly for the 55 percent of its client household located in Boone County, an area that has traditionally been short of food resources. Leaders of the two organizations have been in talks for almost a year. Be Concerned got involved after UM leaders saw the opportunity “to serve more people in more places with more of the things they need,” said Becky Ewing, who’s been UM director the last 12 years. Be Concerned, which started as a Christmas program in 1968, has operated one of the largest food assistance programs in the region since its pantry opened in 1987. In 2018, its free pantry and Senior Food Delivery programs helped nearly 1,500 distinct families encompassing 2,955 residents of Kenton, Campbell and Boone counties. Andrew Brunsman
