A gay teenager from Northern Kentucky who was not allowed to give his valedictorian speech at his high school graduation will be honored with a ﬁ rst amendment award in May. Christian Bales, of Cold Spring, was told he could not give his speech at Holy Cross High School last May because the Diocese of Covington disagreed with the content of his speech. Instead, Bales gave his speech on a megaphone outside the ceremony in Crestview Hills. His words focused on the activism of young people, including

Newly released text messages between Ludlow Mayor Josh Boone and some council members show he reached a breaking point with City Administrator Elisha Chamberlain before a council executive session on March 14. Boone fi red Chamberlain the next day. Boone has declined to discuss the reasons why. Council members have also declined to discuss the matter and have not returned calls and emails. The fi rst-term mayor previously fi red city attorney Fred Johnson on Jan. 2, days after taking offi ce. Todd McMurtry was contracted to be city attorney until July McMurtry 1. The city also laid off two public works employees this spring to cut costs while facing a more than $200,000 budget shortfall.

What happened "I had to diff use a situation last night with Elisha yelling at chief Stewart (sic)," Boone wrote in a March 15 text to councilman Chris Wright in which he misspelled fi re chief Mike Steward's name. The Enquirer obtained the messages via an open records request. The mayor's text said he didn't fi re Chamberlain at the meeting because the council was about to go into executive session. Boone indicates in the text to Wright his reasoning for fi ring Chamberlain predated March 14. "I was going to fi re her at the end of the month, but after witnessing what I saw last night I can't let it go on any longer," Boone said. "I appreciate everyone's patience on this." Steward was the person yelling at the city administrator and was being "insubordinate," said Chamberlain's attorney Steve Wolnitzek. No argument between Chamberlain and the fi re chief appears on the cable-access video of the March 14 council meeting. The video ends before the council goes into executive session.

What came next In the aftermath, Boone named Police Chief Scott Smith acting city administrator. Chamberlain, who had four years of positive evaluations under former Mayor Ken Wynn, is giving statements only through her attorney. "Ms. Chamberlain is considering all of her options," Wolnitzek said about whether she was planning to respond legally to the fi ring. Boone and fi rst-term council member Tiff any Grider displayed a mutual satisfaction with the fi ring in texts after the fact. "We've got this," Grider said. "Thank you for letting me know. Talk to you soon." Boone replied with “I can’t wait to tell you about it, funny stuff ." “The suspense is killing me,” Grider said. “So, where can I catch you tonight. Just want to give you a quick high fi ve.” While seeking election in 2018, Grider stated in the Enquirer's voter guide her dissatisfaction with the former city administrator and city attorney. "The behavior and attitude of the administrator and attorney representing the city of Ludlow was and still is a disgrace," Grider wrote prior to being elected. "My hope is that this election changes that." Councilman Wright said in a text exchange with Boone hours before Chamberlain's fi ring he had been told employees believed the city administrator was reading their emails. “I’m convinced too she’s reading emails,” Boone said. Wolntizek did not deny Chamberlain was reading emails. "As city administrator, there is nothing inappropriate or improper with her reviewing emails sent on city-owned computers or cell phones," Wolnitzek said. Wright said in his text to Boone that he felt he needed to say something about city employees’ work environment. “I really do feel for all the employees and the work environment they have been subjected to,” he said. “So many of them are miserable.”

Kenton County library oﬀ ers ﬁ ne amnesty in April Sheila Vilvens Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

April might be for fools, but this is no prank. Through this month, the Kenton County Public Library is off ering amnesty for fi nes. There are over 157,000 people with a Kenton County Public Library card, according to Executive Director Dave Schroeder. Of those, there are nearly 35,000 borrowers with fi nes greater

than $10, the limit that prevents them from being able to check out items. “We wanted to remove any barriers that were prohibiting people from using their library,” Schroeder said in a release. “April is a great time for spring cleaning. We wanted to provide an option for folks to bring library items back without penalty.” The April amnesty program is the ﬁ rst for the library in about a decade. Here’s how it works: ❚ If you have ﬁ nes on your library

card account, visit the Kenton County library in April, speak to a staff member about those fi nes and they will be removed. ❚ There is one caveat. The amnesty does not include lost or damaged items. ❚ The off er is good through April 30 and open to all Greater Cincinnati/ Northern Kentucky residents with a Kenton County Public Library card. The amnesty month is in celebration of National Library Week and Children’s Book Week.

Libraries are always evolving and changing, Schroeder said. “Many people are still of the mindset that it’s a quiet place full of books,” he said. While the library still has books, it also oﬀ ers an array of programs and events for all ages, maker spaces, professional workshops for job seekers, and is an oﬃ ce to those who can work or study remotely.” To learn more call (859) 962-4000 or visit www.kentonlibrary.org for Library locations and hours.

"When the proposed speeches were received, they were found to contain elements that were political and inconsistent with the teaching of the Catholic Church." Holy Cross is a diocesan high school in Covington, Kentucky just across the river from Cincinnati, Ohio with nearly 390 students. It is overseen by the diocese and its school superintendent, who reports to Bishop Roger Foys. The Hugh M. Hefner Foundation's First Amendment Awards recognize individuals whose eﬀ orts help protect and

enhance First Amendment rights for all Americans and to raise awareness of modern-day challenges to freedom of speech and expression, according to organizers. “Millions of students are exposed to a censorship culture within our education system as free speech violations take place at our schools and on college campuses. We cannot allow First Amendment threats to become commonplace in our country," said Christie Hefner, founder and chairman of the Hugh M. Hefner First Amendment Awards. Christie Hefner established the awards in 1979 to honor her father’s commitment to defending the First Amendment. Previous honorees include high school students, lawyers, librarians, journalists and educators.

Serial killer draws unidentiﬁ ed Cincinnati woman he claims he killed FBI seeking information to help match claims of deaths done by Samuel Little to unsolved murders Cameron Knight

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

What happens when a person confesses to so many murders that the FBI can't even ﬁ nd all the victims? In the case of serial killer Samuel Little, he draws his victims from memory and the authorities publish those drawings in the hope someone recognizes them.

Little is 78 and was raised in Lorain, Ohio. He's been in prison since 2012. Prior to that, he traveled the country for more than three decades murdering women. He's confessed to 90. He says he has killed in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, and the FBI recently released sketches of those alleged victims. One of the haunting sketches shows a black woman with short style hair. Little says he killed this woman in Cincin-

nati in 1974. Scrawled next to the portrait: "Tall girl by highway by sign." A second sketch shows a white woman with reddish hair and blue eyes. Little told the FBI he met this woman in Columbus, killed her and disposed of her body in Northern Kentucky in 1984. When the FBI released the killer's list of victims, which he recited from memory. They had already confi rmed 34 of them. Since November, eight more cases have been confi rmed or matched to open cases. Little was arrested at a Louisville homeless shelter in 2012. He was extradited to California on drug charges, and once there his DNA was quickly matched to three unsolved homicides in the 1980s. He was sentenced to life in prison. This spring, Little wanted to move to a diff erent prison. The FBI and other investigators had long suspected he had killed other people. In exchange for moving, Little started talking. He confessed to 90 murders, investigators said, many of which he remembers in great detail. His killings span the country from the east to the west coast with incidents in 16 states. The Ohio Attorney General's Offi ce keeps comprehensive records of unsolved homicides in the state. Two unsolved deaths from 1974 involved black females in the Cincinnati area, but neither death matches Little's profi le. Angela Tucker, age 5, was killed in a fi re in Over-the-Rhine that was ruled an arson and 70-year-old Mattie Broadus was stabbed to death in a Downtown apartment. But Little knocked out his victims and strangled them. They were often prostitutes or other vulnerable women.

"Many of these deaths were not classiﬁ ed as homicides but attributed to drug overdoses, accidents, or natural causes," the FBI said. The Cincinnati Police Department said it is aware of Little's confession and is looking into deaths from that time. Little is in poor health and will likely stay in prison in Texas until his death, investigators said. "The goal now is to identify his victims and provide closure and justice in unsolved cases," the FBI said in a news release. For more information or to report potential case links to Samuel Little, people can contact the FBI's violent crime apprehension program at 800-6344097.

Two ways to make Easter egg bread Easter egg bread made with frozen dough

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

Make a double, or triple braid. Ingredients 2-3 loaves frozen bread dough, thawed until pliable (bread will have risen a little)

Some of us are cooks. Some of us are bakers. Some of us are both. I’m covering all bases today with two recipes for Easter egg bread. The ﬁ rst is an easy one from frozen dough. For those of you nervous about making bread from scratch or not having time, this one’s for you. Fun for little bakers, too. Maybe you’re a from scratch baker. The second recipe is yours. The Greeks make their braided Easter bread special with red dyed eggs, symbolizing Christ’s suﬀ ering and new life. Use colored eggs you like, or leave them out. Can you help? Peterson’s BLT pasta salad. Nancy P. craves the salad that was served at Peterson’s Clifton, Mt. Adams and downtown locations. “I think some of the ownEaster egg bread with a Greek Easter braid RITA HEIKENFELD/PROVIDED ers are still around,” Nancy said.

Egg wash: 1 egg beaten with a teaspoon of water 3 plain hard-boiled eggs plus 3 colored ones Instructions Roll each loaf into a 20” or so rope. Lay next to each other, then braid. Form into ring and pinch edges to seal. Place on parchment lined baking sheet. Push 3 plain hard-boiled eggs into braid. Let rise in warm place, covered, until almost doubled. (Mine took 20 minutes). Gently brush all over with egg wash.

until doubled, about 1 hour.

Ingredients

Whisk together 1 cup flour, sugar, salt and yeast.

Punch dough down and turn out onto lightly floured surface. Divide into two equal pieces. Cover and rest 10 minutes.

2-1/2 cups flour, divided

Combine milk and butter and heat until milk is warm and butter almost melted.

1/4 cup sugar 3/4 teaspoon salt 1 package active dry yeast .25 oz. 2/3 cup milk 2 tablespoons butter 2 large eggs, beaten a bit 4 tablespoons butter, melted 3 plain hard-boiled eggs plus 3 colored ones

Stir milk mixture gradually into flour mixture. Add 2 eggs and 1/2 cup flour. Mix well. Mix remaining flour in 1/2 cup at a time, until dough leaves sides of bowl. Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, 5-8 minutes. Butter bowl, place dough in and turn to coat. Cover and let rise in warm place

Roll each into rope about 35” long and 1” or so thick. Lay next to each other, then braid. Form into ring and seal edges. Push plain boiled eggs into braid. Place on parchment lined baking sheet and cover. Let rise in warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. Brush with melted butter. Preheat oven to 350 and bake until golden brown and cooked through, about 35 minutes. Cool and replace eggs with colored ones.

Preheat oven to 350. Bake 35 minutes or so for double braid, 40 minutes or so for triple braid, until golden brown and baked through. Cool and replace eggs with colored ones. Is bread done? A temperature of 190-195 is perfect for these 2 breads. Stick thermometer in side or bottom. Tips: Take a rest If dough resists rolling, let rest, covered, 10 minutes for gluten to relax.

Is NKU women’s basketball coach abusive or fun? Ex-players divided Kate Murphy and James Pilcher Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Former players paint two completely diff erent pictures of coach Camryn Whitaker, whose Northern Kentucky University women's basketball program is under review after abuse allegations. The start of Whitaker's collegiate coaching career echoes recent charges of mistreatment, one group of former players says. “It was manipulation, intimidation, isolation, neglect,” said 32-year-old Amber Bacon, who played for Whitaker for two years at Austin Peay State University in Tennessee. Whitaker, now 37, was the assistant coach at Austin Peay from 2006 to 2008, and it was her fi rst full-time coaching gig. Bacon said Whitaker purposely created division on the team by isolating certain players and pitting teammates against each other. When she saw the news that some of Whitaker’s players at Northern Kentucky University were accusing the coach of emotional abuse and bullying, she immediately felt sick to her stomach and started crying. “It’s 11 years later and it’s still happening to people,” Bacon said. But other women who played for Whitaker over the years, including at Missouri State, Dayton and Kentucky paint a diff erent picture of the coach. “She makes you feel wanted, but she will push you to get the best out of you,” said JaVonna Layfi eld, who was recruited to Dayton by Whitaker. “You want a

coach like that to be hard on you. But she’s never been a coach that would tear you down to degrade or punish you.” Layfi eld graduated in 2018 and recently fi nished her fi rst season playing professionally in Greece. She said she’s known Whitaker since she was 14 and chose Dayton because of Whitaker. “I remember my freshman year when she would come and pick me up at two or three in the morning when I was having panic attacks and she’d calm me down and let me sleep on her couch,” Layfi eld said. Jim Jabir, who was the head coach for 13 years at the University of Dayton and Whitaker’s boss, said he was shocked by the accusations. “She coached hard … but our players loved her,” Jabir said. “I was never off ended by anything she said. She was very, very polite and conscientious of other people’s feelings.” Jabir, who now is the head coach at Florida Atlantic University in Miami, said Whitaker is a great person and he would never have called her abusive. He also questioned the NKU players’ complaints. “It’s just kind of the world we live in now, where someone can make claims and say whatever you want,” Jabir said. NKU recently announced an outside fi rm would conduct an "independent, external review and assessment" of the women's basketball program that will be done "as swiftly and effi ciently as possible but also be See WHITAKER, Page 2B

very thorough." Neither Whitaker nor her assistant coaches have been available for comment since the controversy started in late March. Taryn Taugher, a senior at NKU who had just fi nished her fi nal season in the program, posted an article online detailing how Whitaker emotionally abused and bullied several former players. The university announced it will hire an outside fi rm to review the women's basketball program in light of the concerns raised by former players.

Dividing new players from holdovers Whitaker joined the Austin Peay program with head coach Carrie Daniels. The pair came from Western Kentucky University, where Whitaker played for ﬁ ve seasons and led the team to 97 wins, a conference championship and an NCAA Tournament bid. Whitaker was fresh out of college when she arrived in Clarksville, Tennessee. She seemed eager to coach the “tight-knit group” of players that were already on the team, Bacon said. Things changed the second year when Whitaker and Daniels brought in their recruits, according to Bacon and Kellea Reeves, who were seniors at the time. “They started to create this division on the team,” Bacon said. “I was isolated and ousted. I think they just wanted to create their own program, and we were the leftovers.” Reeves said her college days on the court at Austin Peay were similar to what some of the NKU players described. She played for Whitaker for two years as a center and went through what she called isolation and manipulation as a “toxicity and degrading environment.” “Honestly, it hurt my feelings to know that torture, emotional/verbal abuse, and the manipulation con-

tinues,” said Reeves, who is now in her 30s. Bacon was injured in the fi rst half of the season and needed knee surgery. She said after that the coaching staff told the other players that Bacon chose to give up on the team and that they should stay away from her. Bacon remembers one winter day after her surgery when she was hobbling on crutches across campus to get to practice on time. She called her teammates for a ride. “Coach Whitaker told them ‘if you go pick her up, you’re in trouble,’” Bacon said. Her teammates, who’d been on the team before Whitaker came to Austin Peay, drove to get her anyway. Getting surgery meant Bacon would never play another game of basketball. When the injury took the game away, Whitaker took the team away, too, she said. “When I needed my team to be there for me the most they were isolating me from everybody,” Bacon said. She said the coaches told her teammates she was negative and not to help her or hang out with her. After her surgery, Bacon wasn’t allowed to travel with the team on away trips. “The last game of my entire basketball career, I had to ride in a van with the booster club and sit in the stands,” Bacon said. But afterward, she “was just glad it was fi nally over. It was this freedom.”

Whitaker was 'happy and fun to be around' After two seasons at Austin Peay, Whitaker took another assistant coaching job at Missouri State University, another Division I school. She coached there from 2008 to 2011. Tia Mays was at Missouri State for one year during the 2010-11 season. But Whitaker left a lasting positive impact on her. Playing for Whitaker was a big part of her decision to join the program because she was looking for a school where she had a supportive coaching

staff . Mays, now 28, described Whitaker as goofy and easy to talk to because she was close to the players’ ages. “She was happy and fun to be around,” Mays said. “I didn’t see any sort of issues or hear anything as far as dislike or verbal abuse.” She said she spent a lot of time in Whitaker’s offi ce, but it was always to confi de in her. Mays’ father died while she was a sophomore at Missouri State. And while that time was a blur, she said, Whitaker was there for her. “She made sure I was taken care of and I wasn’t alone,” Mays said. She said Whitaker even fl ew back home with Mays after her father died and never made her feel like she had to put basketball over her family. Whitaker brought the Lady Bears to the Women's National Invitation Tournament twice and helped the team earn 46 wins in two seasons in Springfi eld. After leaving Missouri State, Whitaker returned to her alma mater, Western Kentucky, for the 2011-12 season as an assistant coach. Then she moved on to the University of Dayton for three seasons, where she primarily coached the guards and handled recruiting. During her tenure, the Flyers had a 78-17 overall record, won the Atlantic 10 regular-season championship in 2013 and 2014 and advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight in 2015 for the fi rst time in school history. More than a half-dozen former players during Whitaker’s time at Dayton gave overwhelming positive reviews. Samantha McKay, who was a senior point guard at Dayton under Whitaker, graduated in 2013 and is now playing professionally in Greece. She said six years later, Whitaker is still in her corner. McKay, now 27, was in a serious accident on a team bus in Europe her fi rst year overseas. She suff ered severe back injuries and saw people die. “I remember being in the hospital bed not knowing what was going on or what was going to happen to me and Coach Whit was the one to call and make sure my family knew what was going on and was in touch with me immediately,” McKay said. “I know that if there was a problem in my life she would be one of the few people I would call.” McKay said when it comes to coaching, “while the team is your family, sometimes the head of the house has to be tough,” but “I just can’t see in my heart Coach Whit ever abusing anybody.” Evelyn Akhator, a top 2017 WNBA draft pick, is now playing professional basketball overseas in Turkey. She played for Whitaker at the University of Kentucky, where Whitaker had a oneyear stint for the 2015-16 season. The

After one season at UK, Whitaker accepted an off er in 2016 to be the head coach at NKU. It was a big step, one she'd been working toward for more than a decade. When she took over the program, the team was coming off of a winning season and a tough loss in the Horizon League Tournament Semifi nals. "Everyone knew this is the year NKU women’s basketball can do this," said Shar'Rae Davis who was a senior when Whitaker started in 2016. "Everyone was rallying for us... and in the beginning, we were all very excited." She said Whitaker has this "southern charm" that is "just so likable." But once the season started, Davis said things "turned disastrous for us basketballwise" and Whitaker changed. The team struggled to fi nd success throughout the season, posting a 9-22 overall records and winning just 5 of 22 games in the Horizon League. Since Whitaker’s fi rst year at NKU, the team has improved its record overall to 11 wins and 18 losses. The team also had its fi rst winning season in conference play in the 2018-19 season with about 1,300 spectators attending each game. Part of the team's struggle was due to how Whitaker treated her players, according to Davis. She and at least fi ve other former NKU Norse players and one player’s father say Whitaker was emotionally abusive and a bully. They say Whitaker verbally attacked players and created a "toxic environment" of intimidation, manipulation and humiliation. Eight current NKU players shared a diff erent perspective in a letter of support for Whitaker that was posted online. They said their experience in the program has been “positive from day one to now, despite the demands and struggles.” The letter doesn't address any of the specifi cs raised by Taugher or Davis about how certain players were isolated from the team or degraded and verbally attacked. In one word, Davis described her experience as "heartbreaking." "We had the potential to be so much better," Davis said. "I want (Whitaker) to know it didn't have to be this way." Davis said she doesn't care if Whitaker is fi red or keeps her job, she just wants players and parents to know the truth about the program. "My goal is to get people aware to what is happening, especially for incoming NKU basketball players," Davis said.

team posted a 25-8 overall record that season and made it to the Sweet Sixteen in the 2016 NCAA Tournament. Akhator, 24, was disappointed when she saw the news of the NKU accusations. She said she saw Whitaker bring out the best in other players. She was tough, but not abusive. “Yes, she pushed us, but it was all about knowing what our potential was and knowing we might not be giving our all in that moment,” Akhator said.

COMMUNITY NEWS Give Where You Live NKY awards fi rst ‘Speed Philanthropy’ grant ERLANGER – On a recent Thursday, dozens of strangers and friends alike combined to give $6,000 to a local charity in a process that took less than an hour. The Bill & Betsy Scheben Care Center, which provides care for adults and teens with physical and/or intellectual disabilities from its location in Florence, was the recipient of the fi rst Give Where You Live NKY grant. Give Where You Live NKY is a joint initiative presented by Horizon Community Funds of Northern Kentucky and Mueller Financial, Inc., and its format lends itself to busy community members who are looking for an easy way to give back to nonprofi ts that serve Boone, Campbell, and Kenton counties. Members nominate a nonprofi t of their choice, and three names are randomly selected and briefl y discussed by the group. The members then vote on their favorite of the three organizations, and each member contributes $100 for the grant to the winning organization. All takes place in under an hour, four times a year. The remaining 2019 Give Where You Live NKY meetings will take place on: ❚ Thursday, June 20 from 6-7 p.m. at New Riff Distilling in Newport ❚ Thursday, Sept. 19 from 6-7 p.m. (location TBA) ❚ Thursday, Dec. 12 from 6-7 p.m. at BLDG in Covington “The spirit of giving was on full display for our fi rstround event which was very exciting to see” added Mueller Financial, Inc. Owner Robert Mueller. “We were thrilled to have that level of participation and anticipate membership growing for our future giving events.” The format of Give Where You Live NKY also provides a way to connect funds to nonprofi ts without the need for nonprofi ts to expend fi nancial resources and staff time on fundraising. “Last night gave our Center the opportunity to do a project that has been on our wish list for several years,” said Scheben Care Center Executive Director Lisa West. “Creating a safe outdoor path that is accessible for wheelchairs and individuals who are ambulatory had been just a wish until last night. There are so many deserving non-profi ts in our backyard that work tirelessly for our community- think of what we can accomplish if more join us to Give Where You Live!” Community members can get involved by reaching out to Woody Mueller at givewhereyoulivenky@gmail.com or 859-992-4153, or by visiting www.nkygives.org.

While the library still has books, it also off ers an array of programs and events for all ages, maker spaces, professional workshops for job seekers, and is an offi ce to those who can work or study remotely.” “We wanted to remove any barriers that were prohibiting people from using their library,” stated Schroeder. There are over 157,000 people with a Kenton County Public Library card. Of this, there are 34,864 borrowers with fi nes greater than $10, which is the limit that prevents them from being able to check items out.” “April is a great time for spring cleaning. We wanted to provide an option for folks to bring library items back without penalty,” said Schroeder. The off er is good through April 30 and open to all Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky residents with a Kenton County Public Library card.

NKU announces 2019 Lincoln Award Honorees Northern Kentucky University honored community members who have shaped the face of Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky through their vision, compassion and commitment to philanthropy. The university honored Bob Griffi n, Carol Swarts and the Sheila and Marty Zalla Family at NKU’s Lincoln Award Ceremony on March 26. The Lincoln Award was established in 1992 to recognize and celebrate individuals in our community who exemplify the qualities of outstanding citizenship, notable achievement and distinguished service. Bob Griffi n was born in 1953 in northern Kentucky to John L. and Rose Griffi n. He grew up in a large family with six brothers and fi ve sisters. He attended St. Xavier grade school and Pendleton County High School in Falmouth, KY. Bob attended Northern Kentucky State College from 1971 to 1973 after accepting a scholarship to participate on the fi rst ever basketball team at NKU, playing for legendary coach Mote Hils. To read his full bio, click here. Carol Swarts was born on a farm in the Sand Hills of western Nebraska in 1933, a time and place where early

education was taught in a one-room country school. Still, the limits of rural education, coupled with the mores of the day and life during the Great Depression, would not deter the young girl from the dreams of living a life dedicated to helping others as a physician. With the love and support of her parents and three brothers, Carol realized her dream of becoming a physician, earning her B.S. degree in chemistry and medical degree from the University of Nebraska in 1959. She was one of only three women in her medical school graduating class. Click here to read her full bio. Sheila and Marty Zalla were both born and raised in Covington, Kentucky. They married in 1962 and had the ﬁ rst of their 10 children in 1963. The young Zalla family bought a few acres and a farmhouse in the then-wilds of Edgewood, Kentucky, as Marty had always loved farming. Even though he grew up in “the city,” he spent summers working on the farm of close family friends. Marty also took over as second generation owner of Building Crafts, Inc. and grew the modest business his father, Andrew, had started into a multi-dimensional, multi-million dollar engineering and construction ﬁ rm. While still consulting, Marty is retired from Building Crafts and his son John is the third generation owner and CEO. John graduated from NKU’s Construction Management Program in 1988 and earned his MBA from NKU in 2006. In addition to being the busy mother of 10 children, Sheila yearned to continue her education. She began taking classes at Thomas More College and transferred to NKU in the early 1970s to pursue a bachelor’s degree in communications. There is a tree planted in his honor on the academic quad outside the School of the Arts. To read their full bio, click here. Over the last 26 years, 75 individuals have received the Lincoln Award, including this year’s recipients. For more information, visit the Lincoln Award website.
