Villa Hills NKY photographer saves marathon animals one photo at a time meeting: ‘Shame on the council’

Melissa Reinert Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

CRESCENT SPRINGS – Lisa Binns doesn’t really recall a time when she wasn’t taking photos. “Photography has been a hobby ever since I can remember,” she said. So, a young Binns went to Kent State University for their photojournalism program. “I was dreaming of being a photographer for National Geographic,” she said. “I ended up with a degree in business administration.” She now operates her own consulting business. Yet, she hasn’t put down her camera. “It’s a great creative outlet,” said Binns, of Crescent Springs. Photography also gives Binns a reason to spend time with her “favorite people – dog people.” For eight years she volunteered with rescue organizations, photographing pets to give them a better chance of being adopted. “A great shot increases the speed at which an animal is adopted and can double adoption rates overall.” Bob Howard, president of Stray Animal Adoption Program (SAAP), can attest to that statement. “Before Lisa, we were adopting out 900 to 1,000 pets a year,” he said. “We thought we were doing well. After Lisa, we started adopting out 1,500 to 2,000 and last year adopted out about 3,500.” Howard said he thinks the world of Binns and appreciates her work that “really is saving lives.” “In the rescue world there’s nothing truer than a picture is worth a 1,000 words,” he said. “Lisa’s photos tell a story. She even adds in a few words to flesh out the story and these stories get attention and dogs get saved.” Recently Lisa created a meme of a rescue dog with characters from a Christmas story. Deken, the pup, is licking a pole and the words “I double dog dare you to adopt Deken” are typed over the photo with a Lego that shares information on Deken and how he can be adopted. Binn’s work as a volunteer is expensive and time-consuming. “When I got to the point where my addiction to this volunteer work meant I was spending more time-saving lives than running my consulting business, I started exploring potential corporate sponsors on a national and local level.” She was not having success as foundations require a 501c3 ID to compete for funds even though the clients she supports are nonprofits. And if a 501c3 she supports were to compete for funds for this purpose, it could make them ineligible for funds they already depend on for other things, like medical bills. So that is not something she wanted to pursue. “While meeting with a local dog brand, the owner recommended that I form a nonprofit myself to be eligible for grants and to be able to offer tax benefits to others that would be interested in contributing to this lifesaving work,” she said. And so came Second Shot. “Second Shot’s mission is to support animal rescues and shelters in giving homeless animals a second shot by pro-

viding professional photography services to be used in marketing to families seeking a new family member,” Binns said. “A great shot might be their last shot at a second shot.” Initially, local shelters and rescues will receive the benefits of the nonprofit funding, with ever-increasing geography if funds are available. As of today, Second Shot is officially registered as a nonprofit and its first board meeting has been held. All of the 501c3 paperwork has been filed and they are awaiting the IRS 501c3 Tax ID. So while they can begin soliciting donations, this tax ID is the final hurdle to begin competing for foundation funds that will allow us to really expand our efforts to more shelters and rescues on a consistent basis. “I’m excited and a bit anxious as well,” Binns said. “This is new territory, but something I need to succeed to help save

more animals.” Until then, she’s continuing her volunteer work. Animal rescue is important work, according to Binns. “Pets have no voice to help themselves,” she said. “We have 45-plus shelters and rescues in this area alone. There is a seemingly neverending ﬂow of animals that are surrendered to a shelter, left abandoned, or claimed because of abuse.” Wonderful, loving pets, she said, are surrendered to shelters for no fault of their own every day.

VILLA HILLS – Everything was civil until the nuns left the council meeting Wednesday, Dec. 19. The Benedictine Sisters of St. Walburg Monastery thanked current Villa Hills City Council members for being respectful of their way of life and their wish to sell 85 acres for the still unbuilt “Sanctuary” mixed-use development, an effort to bolster their retirement. They spoke in the four-hour meeting’s first 15 minutes and left before a vitriol-filled final three hours. The divisiveness centered around giving a contract to Craig Bohman, city administrator and clerk, with an automatic severance if fired later on by mayor-elect Heather Jansen. Mayor Butch Callery, who lost his bid for re-election, cast his only vote in four years to approve a contract for Bohman and break a 3-3 deadlock. The approved contract was for a third of the severance originally asked for by council Mayor members Jennifer VaCallery den, Gary Waugaman and Mary Koenig. As approved, the maximum payout of six months’ severance plus 21 days paid time off could cost the city about $45,000. The originally proposed severance of 18 months salary from November would have cost a minimum of $120,000. “This is wrong morally. It’s an insult to the people who have been elected, and it’s a disgrace that you are doing it,” resident Jerry Wallace told council. Councilman Scott Ringo, the only one of six council members not swept out of office over the Sanctuary development, asked Callery to give the new mayor the same leeway his predecessor gave him. Jansen should be given respect by not deciding to pursue the contract in the two months after losing an elecSee COUNCIL, Page 2A

Want to switch parties for Kentucky primary? Do it by December 31 Nancy Daly Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Kentucky voters who wish to vote in another party’s primary in the 2019 elections must change their registration no later than Dec. 31, 2018, Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes is reminding Kentuckians. “Next year, Kentuckians will go to the polls to elect statewide officers, including governor and lieutenant governor,” said Grimes, Kentucky’s chief election official. “This is an important deadline if you are considering a party affiliation change and want to participate in next year’s May primary.” May 21, 2019, is Kentucky’s primary day. With Gov. Matt Bevin running for re-election, other Republican candidates have not emerged thus far. Two Democratic candidates are running for governor next year, Attorney General Andy Beshear and Kentucky House Minority Leader Rocky Adkins. Both led Bevin in Mason-Dixon’s polling this week. Beshear led by 8 percentage points, 48 percent to 40 percent while Adkins led by only 1 percentage point, 42 percent to 41 percent. Voters can change or update their registration at Kentucky’s one-stop

online voter portal, GoVoteKY.com. Under Kentucky law, to be qualified to vote in a partisan Primary Election, a voter must have been a member of that party on Dec. 31 of the prior year or a new voter who has not changed their affiliation. Voters who change party affiliation after the Dec. 31 deadline are not eligible to vote in partisan races in the Primary Election. The Dec. 31 deadline also affects prospective candidates in the 2019 elections. To be qualified as a party or independent candidate in a regular election, a candidate’s registration status generally must be established by Dec. 31 of the prior year, per Kentucky law. Voters can verify their current registration status at GoVoteKY.com. To change party affiliation, voters may make the change on the online portal, or complete a voter registration card and return it to their county clerk. Registration forms are available at county clerks’ offices. Registration forms submitted by mail, in person, or electronically must be received by the county clerk by Dec. 31. Individuals who prefer to make the change in person should check with their county clerks’ offices regarding hours of operation during the holiday season.

“They seem to know that they have been saved and they are so appreciative and willing to forgive and give their love again so fully,” she said. “It is such an amazing thing to see. I so wish that everyone could witness that transformation.”

tion, he said. Some audience members yelled “yes” to Ringo’s comment asking Callery to give the new council respect. “I mean, shame on the council,” he said. Having a contract was necessary to avoid potential lawsuits, show cause hearings and negative publicity, said Councilwoman Jennifer Vaden. “I’m tired of my tax dollars being spent on the lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit,” Vaden said. Councilwoman Mary Koenig said conﬁdential sources told her getting rid of the “Covington Boys,” including Callery and Bohman, was a goal of the newly elected mayor and council. Callery was a mayor of Covington and Bohman was a city commissioner. The mayor-elect took to the audience podium to reject Koenig and Vaden’s theories. Jansen said she has no plans to “clean house.” And “Get rid of the Covington Boys” is not something Jansen said she has ever said or campaigned upon. The mayor-elect said she told Bohman and other administrators she wants to start fresh and work with them. “My recommendation would be if you’re looking to save the city litigation costs don’t give the contract to Craig (Bohman) to draft,” Jansen said to Vaden. Bohman said he ﬁlled out a blank contract he obtained from the internet at councilman Gary Waugaman’s request. “Mr. Waugaman asked me on election night if I wanted a contract and I said yes and sent it to him,” Bohman said. Waugaman told Bohman to quit after the election rather than deal with what is ahead. Vaden said Villa Hills has gotten back to neighbor against neighbor and being “vindictive” since the Sanctuary development was announced. The climate of the city demands proactive measures to prevent lawsuits, she said. The nurse and councilwoman said things were thrown at her outside a council meeting after she voted to approve new zoning for the Sanctuary property earlier this year. Threats were made against her and her family, she said.

Villa Hills Mayor-elect Heather Jansen speaks from an audience podium at the Dec. 19 council meeting about her intent to keep the current city administrator.

“I hope you never have threats where you have to have police escort you home and your children escorted to school because of the votes you’ve taken.” Councilwoman Jennifer Vaden

“I hope you never have threats where you have to have police escort you home and your children escorted to school because of the votes you’ve taken,” said Vaden through tears. Waugaman said people with the antiSanctuary group Defend Villa Hills have yelled obscenities and made obscene gestures at council meetings this year. “I guess these people, and anyone associated with them, think that intimidation, threats, lies, obscene gestures and obscenities is a way to get what you want,” Waugaman said. “Well, in Villa Hills, it must be true, because this is what the majority of Villa Hills voted for,” continued Waugaman. “I hope you’re proud of it.” He said the city has been set back eight years. “It just amazes me how blind, petty and vile people in Villa Hills can be,” Waugaman said.

Dixie school threat: Police will charge two sisters Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Police will charge two juvenile sisters for a reported threat made Friday, Dec. 14 against Dixie Heights High School. The threat led to extra police at the Kenton County Schools high school in Edgewood. Two female juveniles, who are sisters, will be charged in juvenile court, according to an Edgewood Police Department news release. Everything started when one female

juvenile falsely accused a second juvenile in a message of planning to “shoot up the school” during lunch that week, according to the news release. The student who received the false accusation posted it on social media. The social media post turned into a sort of telephone game gone awry after the ﬁrst social media post. The post was shared numerous times by many – some of whom added additional commentary, police said. Then, the sister of the ﬁrst juvenile who sent the false allegation made a so-

cial media post of her own. She “threatened bodily harm” to the girl her sister falsely accused in the ﬁrst message, police said. There is no evidence the female juvenile who received the initial false accusation and shared it on social media made any threats, police say. She will not be charged. Charges the two sisters will face have not been determined yet. Charges will likely include falsely reporting an incident, disorderly conduct and terroristic threatening.

COVINGTON Frank Warnock ‘administrator of the year’ Frank Warnock started going to city council and zoning board meetings in 1979 as a cub reporter for a small newspaper in the Marion County town of Lebanon. “That’s when it started,” he said. “I’ve just been fascinated by local government since that time.” That “fascination” led to a law degree ... then a chance meeting that resulted in a ﬁll-in position as attorney for the city of Bellevue in 1995 ... a move to Covington City Hall, where Warnock became that city’s solicitor ... and now his current post as Covington’s assistant city manager. On Dec. 4, Warnock received the recognition of his peers for his decades in public service when he was picked to receive the 2018 City/County Administrator of the Year Award from the Northern Kentucky City/County Management Association.

Here are employees at the Independence hub of Cengage. Cengage has been named a “Best Place to Work in 2019” by Glassdoor, one of the world’s largest job and recruiting sites. PROVIDED/CENGAGE

The annual award recognizes an official who has demonstrated leadership, performed official duties in an outstanding manner, and displayed personal commitment to a broad range of activities beyond his or her official capacity. Warnock’s nomination noted his work on housing and commercial projects that helped bring about Covington’s ongoing “urban renaissance”; his legal work for the city, including the successful defense of a controversial ordinance regulating advertising in public rights of way; and his lead role in writing and advocating for Covington’s historical Human Rights Ordinance.

Decadent chocolate-covered cherries will impress Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

It was a request from a reader I couldn’t refuse. “Help! I always make chocolate covered cherries for New Year’s and I lost your recipe. Do you still have it?” And the answer is…yes. The ﬁrst time I tasted these was when friend, Perrin Rountree, an Anderson Township reader, brought them to work during the holidays. Easy to make, there’s just a bit of technique involved, which I’ve explained in detail. Maybe you need just one more confection for that holiday dessert tray.

Or is it a hostess gift you’re looking for? Get ready to impress the lucky recipient. And as we end the old year and segue into the new one, my prayer is that you ﬁnish the holidays with health and happiness, and start the New Year the same way.

Readers want to know Why is my layered peppermint bark separating? A couple of reasons for this, the main one being that you need to use highquality bar chocolate, not morsels, for both white and dark layers. White chocolate should contain cocoa butter, not palm kernel oil. Palm

kernel oil inhibits bonding of the dark chocolate and white layers. Don’t use “chocolate ﬂavored” chocolate. Score the bark after the second layer has become almost ﬁrm in the refrigerator. This makes it easy to cut after it's completely set. Before cutting or breaking into pieces, let the layered bark set out just a few minutes. If it’s too cold, it may be too brittle to cut. Check out Nancy Baggett’s excellent post on perfect peppermint bark and see my site for photos. (http://kitchenlane.com/2011/12/how-to-make-chocolate-peppermint-bark.html). Any tips on getting everything on the table at the right temperature? Hah, an age old dilemma! I learned

from Teri Gelter, daughter-in-law Courtney’s mom, to cook items that keep the heat in ﬁrst, like pasta, potatoes, etc. Wrap them in a couple layers of foil (spray the inside of the foil if the food is in a pan so it doesn’t stick to the food), then wrap the whole thing in a couple bath towels. It should stay warm for an hour or so, freeing stove top and oven space. Baked potatoes can be wrapped in foil and then placed in a cooler lined with a bath towel.

Viewpoints Make your poinsettia bloom next Christmas Extension Education Sarah Stolz Community Recorder

You can make that festive holiday spirit last all year. Coaxing your poinsettia to bloom again is a fun project when you tie it in with holidays during the calendar year. Mark your calendars with these simple instructions: ❚ Christmas: Select plants with tightly clustered, yellow buds. Protect from hot or cold drafts, water when dry, and place in a room with bright natural light. ❚ New Year’s Day: Use an all-purpose houseplant fertilizer. Keep the plant in a sunny window, water regularly, fertil-

ize monthly. Plant will remain colorful for many weeks. ❚ St. Patrick’s Day (March 17): Remove faded flowers and bracts and dried leaves from the plant. Add more soil, preferably a commercially available sterile mix. For a smaller plant prune stems about three to six inches to remove colored bracts. Fertilize with complete houseplant fertilizer. ❚ Mothers’ Day: Plant should be approaching three feet in height. Trim off two to six inches of the branches to promote side branching. Repot to a larger container (two to three sizes larger). Move plant outside; first to indirect, then direct sunlight (a location that receives full sun each day for at least six hours). ❚ June-July: Fertilize the plant every two weeks; water regularly. Fourth of

July: Trim plant again. Make sure it is in full sunlight. Slightly increase amount of fertilizer. ❚ August-October: Fertilize every week. Water frequently, once or twice a day. ❚ Labor Day (early September): Plant may have grown to three to ﬁve feet. It can be pruned to a height of 18-24 inches. Move indoors but make sure it has six hours of direct sunlight from a curtain-free window. Continue regular water and fertilizer. ❚ First Day of autumn (Sept. 21): Selectively remove the smallest new branches so only 10 to 25 stems remain to produce ﬂowers. Sept. 21 to Oct. 1, give the plant 14 hours of uninterrupted darkness and 10 hours of bright sunlight each day. For example, each day place the plant in a light-free closet or

under a box at 6 p.m. each evening and return it to the sunny window at 8 a.m. the next morning. Or simply place the plant in a little used south facing room and be sure not to turn the lights on in the room from 6 p.m. - 8 a.m. each day. Continue to water and fertilize. Rotate the plant each day to give all sides even light. ❚ Halloween (Oct. 31): Stop day/night light/dark treatment. Keep plant in a sunny area. Reduce fertilizer applications. The plant can remain in its usual full sun location as the upper leaves (bracts) turn red, pink or white. ❚ November-December: Fertilize every three weeks. Water regularly. ❚ Christmas: Enjoy your beautiful “new” poinsettia. Sarah Stolz is the Campbell County Horticulture Agent.

Watch for electronic scams this holiday season Sandra Guile Guest Columnist Community Recorder

The 2018 holiday season is here and with it comes an abundance of activities, like trimming trees, decking the halls, and plenty of to-do lists. This provides scammers plenty of perfect opportunities to use people’s distraction for their own gain. Some scam artists got an early start, swapping out UPC codes on the backside of gift cards with fake ones before the Thanksgiving holiday. This meant that when a customer bought one of the cards with a false UPC, the money that should’ve activated the card was redirected to the scammer’s account. When buying gift cards either for personal use or as a gift for someone else, double check the package containing the card. Look for signs that it has been tampered with or if anything’s been placed over the original barcode. If you do ﬁnd a defective card, report it to the retailer immediately. Another common scam that occurs during the holidays is the pack-

age delivery scam. Because the volume of online orders goes up during the holiday season, the U.S. Postal Service expects to deliver more than 15 billion pieces of mail and 900 million packages between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. This is the prime time for a scammer to say they’re with a popular shipping company, like Amazon or UPS, and ask for personal information. Not only can this scam be perpetuated over the phone or online, but some scammers will also leave a note that includes a phone number or website on the door of their intended victim, indicating that they need to use those contact methods for the package to be delivered. Once they call or email, the scam is the same, the person on the other end asks for sensitive data in exchange for the parcel. Before calling the number on the note, look up the contact information to make sure it’s not part of a scam. If you do call and they begin asking questions rather than oﬀering to schedule a delivery, hang up. Any mention of payment or personal information should be a red ﬂag. Remember,

most shipping services allow you to check the status of your delivery by signing up for text or email alerts. Many will attempt to deliver a package at least three times before contacting you di-

rectly. This holiday season, do your part to promote goodwill to all. If you suspect a call, a note, or email might be part of a scam, report it to BBB’s Scam Tracker to keep the

NKU grinds out a 65-62 victory over Northern Illinois Jon Richardson Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The 3-point shot cuts two ways. To hit them is bliss, but when they aren’t falling, offenses can deflate, seeping momentum and confidence. When Northern Kentucky met Northern Illinois at BB&T Arena last Thursday, this dichotomy was on full display. After a putrid 3-for-17 from three in the first half – leading to a 31-25 deficit – the Norse all but abandoned the perimeter, instead attacking the basket and getting to the free-throw line. The Norse were rewarded, as the ad-

justment yielded a 65-62 NKU victory. “A Horizon League-type game when you have to win when your offense isn’t flowing,” head coach John Brannen said. “Really proud of our guys' commitment level despite the fact that Drew (McDonald) didn’t have it going, (Dantez) Walton didn’t have it going, Z (Zaynah Robinson) didn’t have it going, Tyler (Sharp) didn’t have it going. That’s four guys that average double figures for us that didn’t have it going offensively and we were still able to find a way to win.” The Northern Kentucky (10-3) defense was plagued by transition baskets in the first half, with many of the oppor-

tunities coming from long rebounds on missed threes. Northern Illinois (6-5) scored 13 of their 31 points in the opening frame by way of fast break, and NKU seemed to have little answers. McDonald was held to just one point as well, as the Huskies clamped down on the senior forward and contently watched the Norse ﬁre from deep. In the second half, though, NKU shifted their focus to the interior. When they were not feeding McDonald a steady diet of post entry passes, they were aggressively attacking the rim and getting to the free throw line. “I was just trying to take what the de-

fense gave me,” McDonald said. “I trust in my teammates around me that they’re going to make the right plays and just getting them shots. I wasn’t going to try and force something. I just came out aggressive in the second half, and they kind of backed off and opened up the lane more and let me get some more shots up.” After attempting just eight free throws in the first half, the Norse took 28 in the second, hitting 19 to stay ahead despite shooting just 30.6 percent from the floor for the game.

What do you think of a new NKY roadway? Melissa Reinert Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) has launched NKYOuterLoopStudy.org – a new public involvement tool to encourage feedback regarding new transportation options for those who travel throughout Northern Kentucky. The Northern Kentucky Outer Loop Study will examine potential alternatives for new transportation connections in the southern portions of Boone, Kenton and Campbell counties, as well as the northern portions of Gallatin, Owen, Grant, Pendleton and Bracken counties.

Potential east-west alternatives that connect Interstate 71 and the AA Highway are among the options. No decisions regarding speciﬁc roadway alignments have been made and local input will help to shape the next steps. “The public will play a critical role in the KYTC study process by reviewing our early information on potential roadway concepts and providing us with feedback,” said Bob Yeager, chief district engineer for District 6. “Our team is currently studying potential improvements that would create additional transportation options and stimulate economic development within our region, but we need the public to

weigh in as we move throughout our study process.” A new roadway project typically advances through the following phases: ❚ Planning ❚ Preliminary engineering and environmental evaluation ❚ Design ❚ Right of way and utility coordination ❚ Construction The Northern Kentucky Outer Loop Study is part of the planning phase. The scope of the current study is to: ❚ Forecast traﬃc volumes of potential roadway alternatives; ❚ Evaluate the impact of potential

roadway alternatives on surrounding routes; ❚ Define socioeconomic impacts and benefits; ❚ Develop initial right of way, utility relocation and construction cost estimates; ❚ Perform a financial study and review funding options; ❚ Identify environmental features and impacts; ❚ and Receive public input.

38 cited for speeding during enforcement blitz along I-75 Nancy Daly Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A recent traffic enforcement blitz in Kenton County resulted in 38 citations for speeding on Interstate I-71/75. From Covington to Erlanger, law enforcement made a concerted effort to stem the “chronic issue” of interstate speeding. The citations were issued during a two-hour enforcement period, according to Fort Mitchell Police Department on Facebook. All told, 50 citations were issued. Six were for failure to yield right of way to a stopped emergency vehicle, and five were for failure to produce an insurance card. "This combined effort shows how the cooperation with multiple law enforcement agencies can effectively increase occupant safety on our highways. With multiple communities impacted by the Interstate, a combined effort to slow

down traﬃc will lead to less crashes and increase safety," according to a Fort Mitchell Police Department post on Facebook. "It is a fact when traﬃc gets backed up due to crashes, it not only impacts the interstate where the crashes occur but the side roads that go through our communities," Fort Mitchell Police stated. Besides Fort Mitchell, eight law enforcement agencies watched for speeders on Interstate 71/75 within Kenton County. That stretch includes Covington, Fort Wright, Fort Mitchell and Erlanger. The Dec. 12 speed enforcement blitz was a collaboration that took some time to coordinate, said Sgt. Mike Gross of Fort Mitchell Police. “We think having more police visibility will help a lot,” Gross said. So far in 2018, a total of 218 collisions have occurred in Fort Mitchell’s section of I-71/75. Thirty of those collisions involved in-

Bancroft of OKI Regional Council of Governments. That number includes both northbound and southbound traffic. In addition to slowing down, Fort Mitchell Police urged motorists to look out for the safety of emergency responders and crash victims. “We ask the public to please move over when you see law enforcement on the side of the road. It’s not only the right thing to do, it is also the law. We will be monitoring that as well,” according to Fort Mitchell Police Department’s Facebook page.

New Patented Pill For Bladder Control Makes Store Debut PAID ADVERTISEMENT

Studies show a new pill may be effective enough to replace adult diapers at stores leading one major retailer to now carry it; users report reductions in urgency, frequency, leaking, and nighttime urination. Raymond Wilson Associated Health Press

BOSTON - If you’re one of the lucky few to live close enough to the 12 pilot stores in the northeast, the news couldn’t be better. And for everyone else, the company says they will still offer their patented bladder control while supplies last.

Eva Farris with a group of NaviGo Scholars celebrating her 100th birthday. PROVIDED/ELIZABETH FRICKE, CHILDREN INC.

The new pill, called UriVarx™, contains a patented ingredient that keeps the bladder from releasing involuntarily, which reduces accidents and frequent bathroom trips.

Community leader Eva G. Farris celebrates her 100th birthday

Perhaps more impressive, it also targets the tiny muscles around the bladder, which helps the bladder to create a tighter seal. This would explain why the average UriVarx™ user in clinical trials experienced a 66% reduction in urinary incontinence symptoms, such as day and night leaking and sudden urges to urinate.

Until now, doctors believed it was impossible to strengthen the muscles that control the bladder. They are amazed to see that it can now be done with the non-prescription UriVarx™ pill. “As you get older, and the involuntary muscles around your bladder weaken, you lose urinary control. With your bladder wall unable to properly seal, you constantly leak and feel pressure to urinate” explains Dr. Henry Esber, creator of the new pill. “UriVarx™ targets the bladder muscles and help restores vital kidney health, reducing urgency and frequency. It also helps you “hold it” for hours so you never have to worry about embarrassing accidents ever again!”

Freedom From Sudden Urges and Leaks Since hitting the market, sales for the patented UriVarx™ pill have soared and there are some very good reasons why. To begin with, the double blind clinical studies have been impressive. So much in fact, they are published on the clinicaltrials.gov database. Participants taking UriVarx™ saw a stunning reduction in urinary frequency, which resulted in fewer bathroom trips both day and night. They also experienced a dramatic decrease in incontinence episodes, such as leaking and bed wetting. The active ingredients in UriVarx™ comes from a patented formula. It is both safe and healthy. There are also no known serious side effects in its history of use.

Day and Night Protection Scientists believe that the ingredients target the muscles of the bladder to grow stronger. These muscles are responsible for keeping the bladder tightly sealed. They also help the bladder to completely empty, allowing bacteria to be flushed from the urinary tract. Research has shown that as you get older, certain hormonal changes in the body cause these muscles to shrink and become lose. This is what causes the bladder to be over active and the resulting urine accidents and why UriVarx™ seems to be so effective in the published clinical trials.

Exciting Results From Urivarx™ Users Many UriVarx™ users say their bladders have never been stronger. For the first time in

years, they are confident and in complete control. Adult pads and diapers are no longer a big worry. “After my third child, I couldn’t control my bladder. I was running to the bathroom all the time! And once I hit my 60s it became so unpredictable I needed to wear adult pads every day” explained one sufferer. “I was embarrassed so before going to my doctor I decided to try UriVarx and I’m so glad I did! The urgency is gone and I no longer feel like my bladder is about to explode. I can also “hold it” when I need to so I’m no longer living in constant fear of finding a bathroom.”

Impressive Clinical Results The exciting clinical results published on the government clinical website clinicaltrials. gov show that UriVarx™ can strengthen your bladder fast, significantly reducing the urine urgency and leaks. In a new double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study, 142 men and women with bladder control issues were separated into two groups. The first group was given a placebo while the other received UriVarx™. The results were incredible. The participants who received UriVarx™ saw major improvements in leaking, pressure, and the urgency to go − all without the usual side effects seen in prescription drugs! They also reported fewer trips to the bathroom both day and night.

• • • • •

Overall, the UriVarx™ group experienced: 56% Reduction in Urge Incontinence 66% Reduction in Stress Incontinence 61% Reduction in Urgency 33% Reduction in Frequency 46% Reduction in Nighttime Bathroom Trips

Additionally, at the end of clinical trial and after seeing the results, 84% of the participants taking UriVarx™ said it significantly improved their quality of life.

Targets and Strengthens Bladder Muscle UriVarx™ is a pill that’s to be taken twice daily. It does not require a prescription. The active ingredients are patented natural extracts. Research shows that as we get older, the muscles which surround the bladder weaken. This is caused by hormonal changes in the body that causes the muscles to atrophy and weaken. When they become too small and weak, they cannot seal your bladder shut, which causes leaking, accidents, among other incontinence symptoms. It also prevents your bladder from fully emptying, which can result in persistent bacterial infections and UTIs. UriVarx’s™ active ingredient targets the muscles around the bladder, making them stronger. Supporting ingredients in UriVarx™ support kidney function and overall urinary health.

Bladder Problems Gone With daily use, UriVarx™ can restore strong bladder control and help users overcome leakage without the negative side effects or interactions associated with drugs. Leakage sufferers can now put an end to the uncontrollable urges, the embarrassing accidents, and enjoy an entirely new level of comfort and confidence. This is the official debut of UriVarx™ in select retail stores in the northeast. For those outside this area, the company is offering huge discounts to any reader suffering from bladder issues while supplies last. These discounts are not yet available in stores.

“The clinical findings are incredible, but people still wonder if it will really work” explains Dr. Esber. “It’s normal to be skeptical, but we’ve seen thousands of UriVarx™ users get results exactly like the participants in the study. It’s an amazing product.”

A very limited supply of UriVarx™ is currently available in your region and with phone lines often busy the company advises to call right away.

broaden my knowledge of the world. Her contributions to the society made me reflect upon the opportunities that could be provided to children who lack the access to private coaching/assistance,” said Malyala. He stated, “Her kindness had inspired me to take a similar approach to give back to the community. Eva and Oakley Farris are great role models in the community and I aspire to be as philanthropic as them in the future. Their contributions have given me the autonomy to express my creative self in society.” NaviGo provides college and career coaching for high school students, who need help identifying their interests, passions, and talents. Coaches work with the students to plan effectively for life after graduation by finding college and career options best suited to the student’s needs. Among many others, in attendance were elected officials, community leaders, and local college presidents who came to honor and celebrate Eva Farris. The event celebrated the incredible life and journey of Eva by looking back at beautiful photos of her past and hearing fond memories. Friends toasted her with kind words, highlighting the extraordinary person she is and her accomplishments. Several proclamations were made in honor of Eva as follows: Proclamation making Dec. 5, 2018 Eva Farris Day in Covington, Kentucky Centenarian certificate from Governor Bevin, Proclamation from the Kenton County Fiscal Court, Proclamation from the Kentucky Legislature. If you were unable to attend the birthday celebration, you still can celebrate Eva, and support students preparing for college and/or career by donating in her honor. The cost to support one student

An Amazing Discovery in Bladder Control

Community leaders and friends gathered on Dec. 5 at Hotel Covington to celebrate the long life of achievement and extraordinary generosity of Eva G. Farris, as she turned 100. The event was a birthday party to celebrate Eva, as well as a wrap up the NaviGo College and Career Prep campaign for the Eva Farris Scholarship Fund. Eva Farris and her husband Oakley Farris, a well-known businessman, are prominent philanthropists and community members in Covington and Northern Kentucky. Dedicated to enhancing the community, the couple has contributed to numerous organizations and businesses in the area, especially supporting the area’s youth. Eva Farris was born and raised in Havana, Cuba receiving her master’s degree in Commerce from the University of Havana before enrolling at Columbia University in New York City. She met her Kentucky husband, Oakley Farris, during her travels between Cuba and school. The pair maintained a long-distance courtship marrying after two years, in New York City. The newlyweds then moved to Covington, where their journey together began. The Eva G. Farris Scholarship Campaign for NaviGo College and Career Prep, a division of Children, Inc., began in February with support from Eva and Oakley Farris, to develop a scholarship fund that will enable all students access to NaviGo college and career coaching, regardless of their economic status. The campaign aimed to raise $100,000 in honor of Eva’s 100th birthday. The campaign has raised nearly $73,000 of the $100,000 goal. Karthik Malyala is a NaviGo Scholar and active member of NaviGo’s Student Board of Directors. He is an immigrant from India and was inspired by Eva’s story. “I aspire to study at a very prestigious university like Columbia University and

Dog rescued from Ohio River could soon be up for adoption Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The dog rescued from the Ohio River recently could soon be up for adoption, according to a local animal rescue group. The Kenton County Animal Shelter said the dog has been temporarily named Shirley B. after one of the boats who helped rescue her. The dog is in good health after being found on a pylon for the Roebling Suspension Bridge. "She suﬀered no injuries in the fall from the bridge. X-rays show that her lung(s) are clear. She was started on antibiotics as a precautionary measure," the shelter said.

So far, no owner has come forward, the shelter said Monday. They will have to hold her for ﬁve days before she can be put up for adoption, pending another vet checkup. The Covington Fire Department along with Cincinnati Heavy Rescue 14, BB Riverboats and Kenton County Animal Control all helped during Friday's rescue. They were able to safely bring the dog to shore. "Very happy to be rescued, tail wagging just very grateful and extremely tired. Apparently it had been on the water for some time” said John Martin, Covington Fire Chief. Enquirer media partner Fox19 contributed to this report.

NKY soldier surprises kindergartner sister at school for the holidays Mike Schell Fox19

A Northern Kentucky kindergartner got the surprise of her life when her soldier brother came home for the holidays. Lilly May Borchers thought she was just going to hear a Christmas story with her class. Little did she know that her brother, Bubba, was there to surprise her. “So I walk out and that was really it. She was just right there. She was shocked. She was happy to see me," Chris “Bubba” Borchers said. “Bubba just walked out... and he was just there. I cried. It was happy tears since he came home because I didn’t

even know he was coming home. It was a surprise," Lilly said. This is Chris' ﬁrst trip home since he left in July for military intelligence training in Arizona. “I said ‘I love you, Bubba. I’m so excited to have you here again,’" Lilly said. Lilly said she plans on spending time with and playing with her brother while he’s home and calls this the best Christmas gift ever. “It’s not all about presents. It’s about family. How you get to spend time with your family," she said. "You don’t need to have presents to have joy. You need family to have joy and happiness." Enquirer media partner Fox19 provided this report.

A dog trapped in the Ohio River was rescued early Friday morning. PROVIDED/ FOX19
