When it comes to safe places to live, work and play, the Cincinnati area is home to several. Four local communities landed in the top 10 of SafeHome.org’s safest cities list. Fort Thomas is the safest city in Kentucky followed closely by Independence at No. 2. Erlanger landed at No. 5, according to the list. In Ohio, Dublin took the top spot but Miami Township in Clermont County came in third followed by West Chester at No. 10. While not a city, Miami Township has its own police department and is a fast-

growing community in Clermont County. Township Administrator Jeff Wright took to Twitter to celebrate his community's safety status. "Thank you @MiamiTwpPD and all of our outstanding and respectable citizens," he wrote. For its rankings, SafeHome looked at communities with populations of at least 42,000 and considered several factors including FBI crime statistics. They also looked at the number of law enforcement offi cers compared to the population. Several other Cincinnati area communities landed in the top 15. Fairfi eld came in at No. 11 followed by Union Township, Clermont County, at No. 12. Colerain Township was ranked No. 14.

Infi niti's more than three-story showroom tower overlooking I-71/75 in Fort Wright was fi lled with cars for the fi rst time in April. The luxury cars were originally scheduled to go inside the dealership's 55-foot LED-lit tower with car-sized windows in January. The dealership has been awaiting a missing part for the tower elevator that

SCHOOL NEWS NKU unveils Rockwell Automation & CBT Company Mechatronics Lab Northern Kentucky University, in partnership with Rockwell Automation (NYSE: ROK) and CBT Company, unveils a new lab designed to meet the needs of industry and give students hand-on learning in mechatronics engineering. The Rockwell Automation & CBT Company Mechatronics Lab, housed in the Business Administra-

tive Center, celebrated its oﬃ cial ribbon cutting on March 26. NKU created the mechatronics degree program in 2017 because of direct feedback from the industry. “Ask any manufacturer what keeps them up at night, and they will tell you it is ﬁ nding skilled workers,” said James Ahrens, CBT Company. “Our partnership with Rockwell and CBT is part of the solution to address this workforce need,” said NKU President Ashish Vaidya. “The demand is there, and it’s only increasing. Automation

and robotics are the future of industry, and we must ensure our graduates are ready on day one with the skills and competencies to ﬁ ll this employment gap.” Rockwell Automation is the world’s largest company dedicated to industrial automation and information. CBT Company is the sole distributor of Rockwell products in the Cincinnati region. They work hand-in-hand to bring advanced manufacturing technology to clients. “Our technical specialists work with Rockwell

Automation to help our customers troubleshoot, implement, and upgrade automation solutions within their manufacturing facilities,” said Kellie Kruger, CBT Company marketing manager. “The biggest challenge our customers have today is ﬁ nding skilled workers that understand the evolving technology utilized in their manufacturing processes. The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) in manufacturing will require an even more advanced skill set in the future, and the individuals who understand automation and have the ability to improve processes to increase eﬃ ciencies will be in even higher demand.” Fueled by success on a similar project at Kent State, Rockwell began to look for a university to partner with the Cincinnati region to address the issue here. “There’s an urgent need for a diverse knowledge base that blends data analytics, computer programming, engineering and robotics.

created that with its mechatronics degree, but we started asking what we can do to get these students on the line before they even graduate. That’s how the lab came together,” said Michael Schutte, Rockwell Automation account manager. “The mechatronics lab allows students to learn on the integrated panels and machines that they will run in the real-world. They ﬁ ll the skills gap while earning their degree.” Alan Naylor, an NKU senior, is doing just that. Naylor, an Engineering Technology major, works part-time at the Schwan’s facility in Florence. He had to quickly learn the Rockwell technology on the line, and NKU’s mechatronics program gave him the foundation to do that. “Thanks to what I’ve learned so far at NKU, I was better able to operate the technology and equipment I encounter at my job at Schwan’s,” said Naylor. “This mechatronics lab will give all the students in my program that

same the hands-on learning, but it will be built in as part of the class. They won’t have to look to another source to get that experience like I did.” The Mechatronics Lab provides a real industrial automation environment for students to assemble, program and operate integrated manufacturing systems. It prepares them for jobs in automation, control, instrumentation design and robotics areas. “There’s fi xed automation, like a standard conveyor belt transfer line, and fl exible-automation, where you program materials handling devices, robots and machines to do diff erent things. Our students will learn both and with this skill set, they will be able to learn and grow with the technologies of the future,” said Dr. Morteza SadatHossieny, program director and professor of Mechatronics. The new Mechatronics lab has ten workstations, each one with state-of the-art equipment and technology. It’s designed to train a highly skilled workforce to keep the region competitive. “Companies like Amazon, FedEx and DHL are investing here to build hubs and distribution centers, and they will continue to expand. Engineers are needed to design and build the control systems for these centers, and technologists to run them,” said Schutte. “That’s why this is a partnership and not just a one-time investment. Technology will change. As it does, we will send toolkits and updates to keep the lab current with what we are putting on the lines. ” The lab will also be used to support K-12 STEM education and recruit more students from the area community and technical colleges.

We’re going to study the Eastern Bypass. Again. Hannah K. Sparling Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The transportation to-do list is long around here. There’s the “functionally obsolete” Brent Spence Bridge, the crumbling Western Hills Viaduct and the struggling bus system, which is running out of money and badly in need of a boost. Add to the list for 2019: The Eastern Bypass – a proposed outer loop around the current outer loop that could potentially help ease congestion and spur new development farther away from the city's core. There’s a mandate tucked into the transportation budget this year that requires the state to study the proposed bypass. The Ohio Department of Transportation has until the end of the year to submit a report to the legislature that includes: ❚ commentary on Kentucky’s bypass study, which was completed in 2017; ❚ details on how much Ohio assisted with Kentucky’s study; ❚ details on whatever steps ODOT is taking or needs to take to coordinate with Kentucky “to plan and construct the Eastern Bypass.” Depending on whom you ask, this is either a great idea or just one more example of wasting money on a pet project. An ODOT spokesman said the department will “complete the study, as required by law. It’s still way too early to say what the study will look like or how much it may cost.” For comparison, Kentucky’s study cost about $2.1 million. The Eastern Bypass is a proposed four-lane highway that would go roughly 70 miles, connecting at Interstate 75 in Springboro and eventually recon-

necting to I-75 at Crittenden in Grant County. Henry Fischer, chairman of Fischer Homes, fl oated the idea in an Enquirer op-ed back in January 2015. It was initially proposed as an alternative to building a new Brent Spence Bridge, but Kentucky’s study showed that won’t work. Kentucky’s report said that while the bypass is worthy of further consideration, it would not divert enough traffi c to eliminate the need for a new Brent Spence. Rep. Tom Brinkman, R-Mount Lookout, pushed to get the study included in this year’s transportation budget. He said it’s all about getting Ohio and Kentucky to work together. The bypass would be a multi-state project, so it doesn’t make sense to plan in isolation. “We have to force the transportation departments to talk together,” Brinkman said. “That’s what my bill is trying to do. Let’s discuss it.” Brinkman is still in favor of building a new Brent Spence Bridge, but he thinks the bypass should come fi rst and that the new Brent Spence should be smaller. He counts the fact that the study made it through the budget process and was signed into law as a sign of support from his colleagues. “That’s a lot of support right there,” he said. “I’m pretty excited about it.” Kentucky’s study showed the bypass would cost about $5.3 billion, with much of that due to infl ation during the decade-plus it would take to build the new highway. That estimate assumes construction would start in 2029 and that the bypass would be open in 2032. Some bypass supporters, however, say that estimate is too high. The Cincy Eastern Bypass website says the highway could cost $1.1 billion, but that esti-

mate does not take into account inﬂ ation.

Who’s against it? Warren County Commissioner Dave Young has called the bypass project a “red herring” in the past, and Adie Tomer, a fellow with the Washington, D.C.based Brookings Institution, said that highway expansions in general are not bearing the fruit their advocates promise, especially when it comes to job creation and economic development. Any job growth is typically shortterm, Tomer said, but the highway would remain a huge, long-term ﬁ nancial burden. "You don't need wider roads or new roads for a state that's not growing," Tomer said. "That's not what Cincinnati's regional economy needs right now." Derek Bauman, a board member for the transit advocacy group All Aboard Ohio, said it doesn’t make sense to talk about building a new highway when the state already has such a backlog of maintenance. A lack of money for road and bridge maintenance was a big push behind Ohio's recent gas tax increase, with Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine saying it was a matter of life and death. “To me, it’s pretty clear," Bauman said. "All it is is just a giveaway to sprawl developers. It’s just bad on its face, and it doesn’t even deserve study.”

Who’s for it? Fischer, who fi rst proposed the bypass, did not respond to a request for comment, and neither did the Clermont County Board of Commissioners, where the idea has gained at least some traction in the past. Mark Policinski, Chief Executive Offi cer of the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments, said he welcomes “any study of a major economic development project.” The Brent Spence Bridge is the immediate need, Policinski said, but an outer loop such as the bypass could be worthy of long-term consideration. Matth Toebben, founder of Toebben Companies, however, thinks the bypass needs to be priority No. 1. Toebben said the new highway would create hundreds of thousands of jobs and lead to billions of dollars in new development. But if we wait, he said, it'll be too late. "It's so important to realize that if you don't build the bypass now, the right-ofway will be bought up, and there will be no land available on either side of the Ohio River," he said. "It would be a shame to pass up the opportunity to build the bypass fi rst and then the bridge, if necessary."

Didn’t we already do this study? Yes, but that was in Kentucky. Brinkman said this is Ohio’s counterpart to that study and a way of forcing the states to work together.

Roasted carrots, asparagus taste of spring Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

Spring has defi nitely sprung here on my little patch of heaven. Erin, my neighbor across the road, asked if I had time to pick dandelions. My answer? I’d make time. We both picked baskets of dandelion fl owers for jellies. A few leaves got tossed in, too, for salads. The wild violets were growing in profusion right alongside. Those make a lovely jelly or jam. So many delicious, nutritious wild edibles to pick, and when Mother Nature says they’re ready, there’s no dallying to be had. Anyway, my dandelion jelly making got “nipped in the bud” when I accidentally dropped the colander with the fl owers into a soapy casserole dish in the sink. Lucky for me, there’s still plenty of dandelions in fl ower. The “girls”/ chickens got the benefi t of my labor, so

I’m thinking all was not lost. Maybe the yolks in their eggs will be a brighter yellow from the dandelion ﬂ owers! We ﬁ nished tilling the vegetable garden today and we’re planning on sowing carrots next week. My asparagus should be poking through the soil any day, as well. That’s why I’m sharing two of my favorite spring recipes for, guess what: carrots and asparagus. They were a hit in my recent classes. Tips from readers’ kitchens: Mary and Pat Ashcroft, Kenwood readers, stopped to chat while I was at Natorp’s garden outlet. Mary loves to cook, and has many recipes from family and friends. She told me every time she uses someone’s recipe, she says a prayer for them.

Coming soon: Carnitas! A request from Kristie D. to share this recipe again for Cinco de Mayo.

Concerned about school quality and with good reason Brigitte Blom Ramsey Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Recent poll results deliver an important message for the state’s gubernatorial candidates and policy leaders: Kentuckians are becoming increasingly concerned about the quality of their schools. And that concern is more than justifi ed, according to reports on Kentucky’s educational performance. Campaigns have traditionally listed education as the top priority for aspiring offi ceholders. What is diff erent this year is the clear evidence of Kentuckians’ concerns – refl ected in poll results showing 81% believe the quality of their local public schools has worsened or stayed the same during the past few years. Similarly, 82% believe the quality of education across the state has declined or stayed the same. In fact, voters identifi ed K-12 education and jobs in the poll as the top priorities for improvement. However, they gave postsecondary education improvement the lowest priority ranking – providing another important message for our state’s elected offi cials, those seeking offi ce and all of us concerned about Kentucky and its future. Clearly, there is a great need to raise awareness across the Commonwealth about the critical impact that education beyond high school has on the personal and fi nancial success of individuals and the prosperity of the state as a whole. The results of the poll, conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy, Inc., during December 2018, were released by the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence earlier this year. The committee also produced an update of our Top 20 by 2020 project sharing disturbing data that shows several of Kentuck-

y’s key educational improvements leveling off or, even worse, sliding backward. The Top 20 by 2020 update, a compilation of indicators refl ecting performance along the continuum of education from early childhood through postsecondary, is the latest in a series of biennial reports initiated in 2008 with the challenge of moving Kentucky education to the Top 20 among the 50 states by 2020. In the early days, hitting that mark appeared to be an obtainable goal, but that is no longer the case: Achieving the Top 20 by 2020 simply is not possible. Particularly alarming is what is happening with Kentucky’s youngest learners during the years that set the foundation for future success. The latest data puts Kentucky 41st of the 50 states in preschool enrollment, with only 41 percent of our 3- and 4-year-olds participating in a public or private preschool. In the original 2008 report, our ranking was 24th! Results are mixed as students move through the educational pipeline. While progress over the decade has been made in national fourth-grade reading and math rankings, last year we saw declines in our ranking. Over the decade, ground has been lost in national eighthgrade reading and math rankings. Kentucky has made signifi cant progress in high school graduation and Advanced Placement credits, but postsecondary education attainment of young adults has plateaued in recent years. Where improvement has been made, it is happening too slowly to reach the Top 20 ranking nationally. The data also show achievement gaps remain, holding back entire student groups from achieving excellence. Kentucky has made impressive progress in education before – and we can do so again. Our optimism can be

strengthened by the partnerships being forged with committed advocates and education and business leaders who are focusing more and more on achieving ambitious goals. The Kentucky Business-Education Roundtable, a group of private- and public-sector leaders convened by the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, is a key example. As a member, the Prichard Committee fully supports these four central goals: ❚ Invest in early education, to give kids a solid start. ❚ Reinvent high school, to make a diploma relevant for the modern economy. ❚ Ensure every adult obtains a marketable degree or credential. ❚ Engage employers to deﬁ ne needed skills and develop talent supply chains. The Prichard Committee believes it is past time for an ambitious agenda for improvement to be put in place to generate excellence with equity, including such elements as: ❚ Increasing state investments in quality early childhood programs ❚ Stabilizing the policy environment to address the unintended consequences of wasted time and resources created by continual policy changes ❚ Assuring proﬁ ciency in reading and math for students by third grade

❚ Supporting teachers to ensure effective classroom instruction ❚ Ensuring a high school diploma is meaningful for students, families, employers, and communities ❚ Improving students’ transition into postsecondary education while addressing challenges to aff ordability Lastly, engaging citizens at the community level with specifi c support for achieving shared goals – early childhood through postsecondary – is imperative if Kentucky is going to build upon the early progress of reform made decades ago. As the committee works on state-level policy initiatives, it also will engage community partners and citizens across the state, arming them with specifi c data on the education performance of their local schools to help them work with their local districts to realize greater improvement. This information will be shared through community profi les the committee has developed to provide specifi c, district-level information about school performance and outcomes across the pipeline of education. These profi les are available for every school district in the state on the committee’s website. Hard work, commitment, and collaborative partnerships have fueled signifi cant progress for Kentucky in the past. We must recreate that environment – and build on it with deliberate actions that produce results – to create a prosperous future for all Kentucky children and their families and the state we all call home. Brigitte Blom Ramsey is executive director of Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence, an independent, nonpartisan, citizen-led organization working to improve education in Kentucky – early childhood through postsecondary.

‘Are you serious?’ John Kerry spars with NKY’s GOP Rep. Massie over climate change Jacob Fisher Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Rep. Thomas Massie, the Congressman who represents Northern Kentucky, found himself in a heated exchange with former Secretary of State John Kerry during a House Oversight meeting on climate change Tuesday, April 9. Kerry was witness at the hearing, which was held to address the need for leadership to combat climate change. Massie grilled Kerry for his "pseudoscience" college degree and his knowledge of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration. Here's a few takeaways from the exchange:

'Are you serious?' Massie criticized Kerry for questioning President Trump's convening of a panel of experts to determine whether climate change is a threat to national security. "Instead of convening a kangaroo court, the president might want to talk with the adults he once trusted enough to ﬁ ll his top national security positions," Kerry said in his written testimony.

Arguing that Kerry seemed to be "questioning the credentials of the president's advisers," Massie interrogated the former secretary of state Massie about his educational background. Kerry received a Bachelor of Arts in political science from Yale University in 1966. Massie: So, how do you get a Bachelor of Arts in a science? Kerry: Well, it's [a] liberal arts education and degree. Massie: OK, so it’s not really science. So, I think it’s somewhat appropriate that somebody with a pseudoscience degree is here pushing pseudoscience in front of our committee today. Kerry: Are you serious? I mean, this is really ... happening here? Massie later alluded to the exchange on Twitter.

'This is just not a serious conversation' Massie asked Kerry to detail his knowledge of historic carbon dioxide concentration in the Earth's atmosphere. Rising CO2 concentration is under-

stood by researchers to correspond with a long-term increase in the average temperature of our planet's climate system — a central aspect of global warming. Massie: Are you aware that since mammals have walked the planet, the average [atmospheric carbon dioxide] has been over 1,000 parts per million? Kerry: Yeah, but we weren't walking the planet ... We now know that deﬁ nitively, at no point during at least the past 800,000 years, has atmospheric CO2 been as high as it is today. Massie: The reason you chose 800,000 years ago is because for 200 million years before that, it was greater than it is today. Kerry: Yeah, but there weren’t human beings — I mean, it was a diﬀ erent world, folks. We didn’t have 7 billion people living here. Massie: So, how’d it get to 2,000 parts per million if we humans weren’t here? ... Did geology stop when we got on the planet? Kerry: Mr. Chairman, this is just not a serious conversation.

'You just played the 1 percent card' Massie accused Kerry of ducking how to pay for proposed solutions to cli-

Kerry

mate change. Kerry fi red back, saying he off ered several solutions in response. Massie: You avoided my colleague’s question about how do you pay for it, but I want to ask, what is your solution to comply with the Paris Accord requirements? Kerry: I did not avoid the question. I said there are many ways to pay for it. Massie: He just asked for one. Kerry: One would be to not give ... a trillion dollars worth of tax benefi ts to the top 1 percent of Americans. I’m one of them. I didn’t deserve to get that tax cut — nobody did in this country at the expense of average folks who can’t make ends meet. So, that would be a fair way to start. Massie: You don’t want to politicize this, but you just played the 1 percent card. Kerry: No, I actually played a moral judgement about what is appropriate in building a civil society. That’s what I did.

Simon Kenton softball’s Macy Krohman is the youngest grizzled veteran Jon Richardson Cincinnati Enquirer | USA TODAY NETWORK

It is an uncommon feat for an underclassman to rise above their peers and dominate the attention of the opposition. It is even rarer for one to be the bona fi de leader of a team jockeying for regional supremacy. At face value, Simon Kenton softball sophomore Macy Krohman fi ts the mold of a young standout player; a seemingly unpolished but burgeoning star. Except Krohman has been cutting her teeth at the high school level since fi fth grade — at the age of nine — and transforming into one the youngest grizzled veterans in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area. “I really wanted to just prove myself among them,”

Krohman said of playing high school at such a young age. “The ball was still too big…it was an adventure to say the least. It has deﬁ nitely helped me with how to handle people who don’t really see you as their equal. “One day I was getting ready to pitch JV and one of the older girls looked down at me and said, ‘What are you doing?’ I deﬁ nitely learned how to handle situations better, interact, what to say and what not to say.” Krohman went to Ohio State’s camp at the age of 10, where she began garnering attention from college coaches. Ever since, the exposure has only grown and the spotlight brightened. Those experiences have done nothing but boost her See KROHMAN, Page 2B

James ‘Beetle’ Bolden, former Holmes High School star, transfers to Alabama from WVU Dave Clark Cincinnati Enquirer | USA TODAY NETWORK USA TODAY NETWORK

James "Beetle" Bolden, who starred at Holmes High School before playing for the past 2 1/2 seasons for legendary former Cincinnati Bearcats head coach Bob Huggins at West Virginia, recently announced via Twitter that he'll play next for the Alabama Crimson Tide. Bolden announced via Twitter in March that he was transferring from WVU. He is expected to be eligible as a grad transfer. He redshirted, spending four years at WVU. Bolden averaged 12.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game this past season but didn't play for the Mountaineers after he was helped to the locker room early in the second half of their 83-66 loss Jan. 26 to then No. 1 Tennessee in the SEC-Big 12 Challenge. Huggins said Bolden sprained an ankle in that game. The Crimson Tide's new head coach, Nate Oats, led Buﬀ alo this past season to a 32-4 record, MAC regular-season championship and MAC Tournament championship.

ter tearing the ACL in his knee Dec. 22. Campbell County senior Reid Jolly, the 10th Region player of the year in the regional coaches’ all-region team, was named to the team. He averaged 22.5 points and 9.9 rebounds in leading the Camels to the state semiﬁ nals and a narrow two-point loss to eventual state champion Trinity. Jolly will get to play on the same team as Trinity star David Johnson, a Louisville Cardinals signee also named to the team. Jolly, also a football standout, has not committed to a college for either sport. Walton-Verona senior Dieonte Miles was named to

the team after leading the Bearcats to their fi rst Sweet 16 appearance since 1942 and fi rst-ever advancement to the state quarterfi nals, where they lost to Campbell County. Miles, a 6-foot-10 center, averaged 14.8 points and 6.3 rebounds. He will play once again with KyKy Tandy from University Heights Academy in Hopkinsville, a fellow Xavier signee. Tandy averaged 26.5 points this season for the Blazers, leading them to a 30-5 record. The duo played together in the Ohio-Kentucky all-star game at Thomas More April 13. Ryle senior Lauren Schwartz will represent Northern Kentucky in the girls game. The Rice signee will graduate with over 2,200 points and 1,000 rebounds after leading the Raiders to their fi rst state championship in March. She averaged 19.2 points and 7.6 rebounds this season. Among Schwartz’s teammates are Mackenzie Keelin of Owensboro Catholic, whom the Raiders defeated in the state semifi nals. See BASKETBALL, Page 2B

ability to set the tone and lead her team, which Krohman views as her strongest asset. “My ability to uplift those around me,” she said. “That’s my main goal, especially in high school. To take all the younger girls, give them conﬁ dence and help them out in a few areas and to just be their friend.” Krohman has already committed to the University of Illinois, and a quick look at her numbers makes it easy to see why. At the time of this article’s original publication date, April 18, the third baseman was currently posting a sweltering .600 batting average – and as a pitcher, she had struck out 60 batters and walked just 26 en route to a 2.41 earned run average. But with positive attention for skill also comes a healthy respect and fear from opponents and, as a result, Krohman ﬁ nds hittable pitches scarce. She is often walked, and plate disciple can be

diffi cult when so many balls stray outside of her wheelhouse. “I just view it as them respecting me, and I just run off that,” Krohman said of being pitched around. “Then it occurred to me to better myself so when they do give me a pitch to hit, I can hit it hard… I get a little anxious, especially if I get walked several times in a game and they’re fi nally pitching to me. First pitch that comes at me I am usually swinging.” On Saturday, April 6, Krohman notched her 200th career hit, vaulting her to the all-time leader in Simon Kenton softball history. The accomplishment would be impressive in its own right but considering Krohman still has more than two seasons of her career left, her fi nal hit tally will likely stand for some time. “She is a hard-working kid,” head coach Jeff Morgan said. “You don’t get to be as she is by not working hard. Works on her game away from the fi eld, when she is at home, she is always working…good student, hard worker, good kid. “She still has two and a half more years to build on it.”

NKU basketball coach Whitaker was told in review to be ‘more positive’ Relationship with women players cited in recent evaluation Kate Murphy Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Northern Kentucky women's basketball coach was counseled to have a more positive relationship with her players in her most recent evaluation. But NKU offi cials were pleased enough with her performance that they extended her contract until 2021. The comments and ratings in Camryn Whitaker's performance reviews are overwhelmingly positive. But the problems that were raised by the athletic director are refl ective of the troubled relationships and off ensive behavior former players described in March. The Enquirer received Whitaker's evaluations and personnel fi le after requesting them under Kentucky's Open Records Act. The news organization also requested any Title IX complaints naming Whitaker or the basketball program, although NKU declined to provide them, citing an ongoing investigation of the program. In her fi rst year with the Norse, Whitaker needed to improve "working with individual student-athletes and their issues and recognizing each student-athlete is motivated by diff erent techniques and she needs to fi nd what motivates them," Athletic Director Ken Bothof wrote in the 2017 review. He said he is "confi dent in our future and look forwards to working with Camryn to develop this program to become a Horizon League Championship in the future." The second year, Bothof wrote that Whitaker needed to improve exercising "appropriate behavior at all events and practices," "keeping emotions intact after diffi cult losses," and "developing a positive approach to player/ coach interaction." Bothof also noted in the 2018 review that Whitaker needed to be a more "positive role model for the student-athletes" and better balance "when parents view their studentathletes struggling as to whether this is a 'playing time' issue or a coach/ player relationship issue." Whitaker did not provide comments on her fi rst review. In her second, following the 2017-18 season, she wrote: "During the season, specifi cally toward the end I became much more positive and tried to be more consistent in my demeanor in practice and in games with the team." Bothof 's 24-month review, which was completed in June 2018, was generally positive. He complimented

Whitaker's work ethic, recruiting efforts and strength and conditioning program. The review said overall she “meets expectations” in her coaching success and skills and in her relationship with student-athletes. After the review, the university extended Whitaker's initial 4-year contract until 2021. Whitaker is paid $140,000 and given a $6,000 car allowance. She also can receive incentive payments, based on how many games the team won, whether it takes Horizon League championships, goes to the NCAA tournament. She has earned two $1,000 bonuses for the players maintaining their grades above a B average. Before the 2018-19 season, Whitaker signed NKU's statement of expectations for coaches at staff members. It says "conduct that is verbally or physically threatening or abusive, belligerent, or harassing is never appropriate and shall not occur at any time." However, it says there isn't a strict defi nition of appropriate behavior because athletic programs require coaches to interact "physically and vigorously with student-athletes." Weeks after that season ended, several former players and parents accused Whitaker of being emotionally abusive and a bully throughout her time at NKU. They described a "toxic environment' of intimidation, manipulation and humiliation" that included frequent verbal attacks of players' characters in interviews with The Enquirer. Other former and current players remain supportive of Whitaker. The university has not made Whitaker, Bothof or any other coaching or athletic staff available for interviews. In April, the university announced an independent review of the program because of former players' new concerns. The assessment will be led by Kelly Schoening Holden, who heads the employment law practice of the Cincinnati law fi rm Dressman Benzinger LaVelle. The university is still determining the potential cost and timeline for the review.

Sheila Vilvens Cincinnati Enquirer | USA TODAY NETWORK

Music, food trucks and drinks return to the Purple People Bridge for Party on the Purple. The fun begins May 1 when the free, weekly summer party series kicks off its third year. Themed parties are the new off ering for this season. Planned themes include Kentucky Derby Party, 80's Party and Dog Party. As in past years, the Party on the Purple will run from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday nights. “We are proud to once again work with ColdIron Events to bring our community on both sides of the river to the Purple People Bridge for a weekly party over the river that’s not only fun but provides funding support for our bridge in the process,” Jack Moreland said in a release. He is the president of Southbank Partners and chairman of the Newport Southbank Bridge Company. A portion of funds generated from food and drink sales during the weekly events go toward painting and maintaining the historic pedestrian-only bridge. The nonprofi t organization is trying to raise $1 million to repaint the bridge and make other capital improvements to it. The lineup for the fi rst nine-weeks looks like this:

NKU moves forward with Success by Design Framework Northern Kentucky University unveils Success by Design, its three-year strategic framework for the university’s future. The Board of Regents unanimously approved the framework during

— must embrace their role in achieving this.” Under each of the three pillars of student success — access, completion and career and community engagement — there are specifi c goals and measurable objectives. NKU will soon identify major initiatives and form teams to begin implementing the plan. As the framework builds out, President Vaidya plans to engage the campus and community, just as the university did when developing the plan. “I am grateful to everyone who contributed to the process through our TalkShops and online surveys. Your feedback allowed us to develop Success by Design collaboratively and will be critical moving forward to ensure NKU continues to innovate and adapt as our region and our world evolves,” said President Vaidya. “Together, we will achieve great things through collaboration, creativity and persistence — singularly focused on advancing student success aligned with the needs of our region.” In October 2018, NKU launched the Success by Design strategic framework process to shape the university’s future after the completion of the Fuel the Flame strategic plan. It also took a unique approach to master planning by utilizing design thinking principles to identify strategic goals and objectives and Vijay Govindarajan’s “Three Box Solution” to begin determining specifi c projects and initiatives. The development of this framework — in an expedited timeframe — represents the work of faculty, staff , students, and community members who have many hours to the process.

a special meeting on April 9. Success by Design is a living document that will serve as a roadmap for NKU to increase access, achieve higher levels of completion, and advance opportunities for career and community engagement for all learners. The vision is for NKU to be a student-ready and regionally engaged university that empowers diverse learners for economic and social mobility. “The higher education landscape is changing as we speak. We must rede-

fi ne and reclaim the narrative about the signifi cance of a 21st century public institution and the value of a college education. This means not just understanding that our students have commitments and responsibilities off campus, but being responsive as the real world impacts their academic lives,” said NKU President Ashish Vaidya. “All the little things that we do as a university must add up to one feeling that supports our vision, and everyone on campus—from our faculty, staff and the administration
