INDPENDENCE — There will be no more primary elections for Independence mayor and council races. Mayor Chris Reinersman broke the 3-3 tie at the May 4 council meetings to nix primary elections for city races. “I think not having the primary will improve our chances of having a wider selection of candidates,” Reinersman said. According to Reinersman there hasn’t been a primary election for council in several years. In order for a primary to take place, there must be double plus one running for the amount of open seats. In Independence, for example, there are six seats on council, in order for there to be a primary there must be 13 candidates. Last year, there was a primary for the mayor’s race with three candidates. The first election affected will be in 2016. Those in support of ending primary elections include council members Carol Franzen, Jim Bushong and Tom

Brinker. Those against were Lucas Deaton, Donna Yeager and Bill Aseere. “I don’t believe this is right Carol Franzen for Independence,” Deaton said. “Our greatest right is the right to vote. The more times a year we exercise that right, the better. The primary elections are a good thing. It’s good for the candidates, it gives them time to get to learn the issues and it’s good for the residents to get to know the candidates.” Deaton said that primaries also help weed out the best possible candidates. Councilwoman Carol Franzen said she could go either way, but leaned toward getting rid of the primaries because they tend to be an advantage to incumbents. “It’s historic that primaries are advantageous to the incumbent,” she said. “I’m also concerned about the lack of candidates we have had the last several years. The democratic process is about having a good

slate of candidates out there. I’d love to see 20 people on the ballot. I would force all of those 20 people to go Lucas Deaton door to door.” Franzen, who has served on council since 2002, said she “loves” the campaign process. “It is a privilege and I think we may get more interest from others (by not having the primaries),” she said. “We’re not stopping anyone from running, if anything we’re giving them more of an opportunity to run.” The issue first came to light Jan 1, when the state legislature's decision to change the classification of cities went into effect. The new system replaced one in which cities were divided into six classes based on population. Previously in Kenton County, Covington was a second-class city. Erlanger and Independence were thirdclass cities. Under the new law, they are in the home rule class. While in this classification, the See PRIMARIES, Page 2A

INDEPENDENCE — American Legion Post 275 Moon Brothers extends an invitation to celebrate America’s “muscle” with a muscle car show on Armed Forces Appreciation Day. “We are having this event to show appreciation for our muscle, our military muscle,” Moon Brothers member Wayne Lohmueller said. “The day will be filled with activity to celebrate Armed Forces Day and refresh people’s awareness of our service members.” The car show will be held noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, May 16, at the Independence Senior Center, 2001 Jack Woods Parkway, Independence. The car show will feature a variety of classic and modern vehicles, as well as vintage military vehicles. At 11 a.m. the American Legion Riders will begin their annual Poker Run. The Independence-based band Noyz Boyz will perform at 3 p.m. Military displays, including a World War II weapons collection, both German and

American, and a uniform collection, will be featured. A photo booth will be set up for families to take pictures. The photo booth will include helmets, flight suits and other dress-up options. The event is free and open to all ages, said Moon Brothers member Bill Schneider. However the Moon Brothers do ask for donations. “We really just want people to come, have a good time and think good things about our military men and women,” Schneider said. “We really can’t do enough for them. This event and our Memorial Day plans are a labor of love for us at the post. We want to keep folks in tune to what’s going on with our military and veterans.” The theme for all the Moon Brothers events is “If you love your Independence, thank a military member,” Schneider said. According to Wayne Lohmueller, the city of Independence is full of service members, past and present. “This is a day for our milSee MUSCLE, Page 2A

role of chief upon Butler’s retirement, said he’s grateful for his time with Butler. “He’s prepared me for this,” he said. “He’s taught me patience. He’s inspired me by the way he lives his life and the way he’s policed. From the day he came in, he’s been big on community policing and has helped us take that to the next level. The relationships we’ve built (with residents, businesses and other agencies) are incredible.”

Melissa Stewart INDPENDENCE — John Wayne once said, “Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway.” So perhaps it is fitting that those who know retiring Independence Police Chief Shawn Butler best view him “a man of courage.” That’s how Capt. Tony Lucas, who’s worked alongside Butler for more than 20 years, describes him. “One thing that stands out is he’s always had the courage to try new things,” Lucas said. “He’s always stepped out and given us as a department the chance, the opportunity to make something new work. He wasn’t afraid.” To be sure, during Butler’s 29 years in law enforcement, he has faced fear. . Every call he fielded came with uncertainties. When chasing down a kidnapper, he didn’t know if the

People need to remember to vote, said Campbell County Clerk Jim Luersen. “Historically, Northern Kentucky has always had a low turnout for state races,� Luersen said. “A lot that happens in Frankfort affects us, for better or worse, and we need a voice in Frankfort that represents us.� Kenton County Clerk Gabrielle Summe said she can’t predict the turnout. “I wish I could give a prediction for the upcoming primary but it is difficult in an election where many of the races are filling an open seat, like the governor’s race,� she said. “I heard the prediction for the whole state was 10 percent.� The last governor’s race was in 2011. The turnout in Kenton County was 6,866 votes or a 6.5 percent turnout. It is likely to be close to that percentage this year, Summe said. “The governor’s race is often a year with low turnout. That is why there was a bill filed this year to move the statewide races to the presidential year,� she said. “This would improve voter turnout and also (keep) money within the state since elections would be conducted every other year.� Summe said there are several changes to polling locations.

Butler Continued from Page 1A

Wayne, wearing his signature white hat, chaps and cowboy boots. Wayne often portrayed a perfect depiction of justice and the American way – a man of courage. Clearly, the figurine is a favorite. “That was a gift from a resident,� Butler said. “The man who gave it to me was a good man and a supporter of the department. He collected John Wayne items and this was one he shared with me. It means a lot. I have a lot of things residents have given to me over the years – they all mean a great deal to me.� He’s not just referring to things he can touch, but to the residents themselves. “First, I want to say that accomplishment any we’ve made here in this department is made by all of us, not just me,� Butler said. “I’ve worked with a lot of great people. That said, the greatest accomplishment is being heavily involved in the community, our outreach and involvement.� During his 15-year tenure as chief, Butler has backed initiatives such as the school resource officer program, defense training classes, Volunteers in Police Service. He’s most proud of the Citizens Police Academy because of the community goodwill it has sewn. “This has been a great program,� he said. “When we started it in the fall of 2000, I didn’t realize that I’d be making 300 new friends out of it, but that’s what’s happened. We just

graduated our 17th class. It’s a very popular program and it’s paid dividends as far as people’s support for us.� Community support is essential to having a solid police department, Butler said. “You want your community to trust you and feel that they’re listened to,� he said. “That’s important from a policing perspective because we also need our community’s help to do our jobs to the best of our abilities.� Administrator City Chris Moriconi, who has known Butler since 2000, said residents do trust and respect the department and Butler. “He’s very ethical, hardworking and well respected, not only in the community, but throughout the commonwealth,� Moriconi said. “(When I served as mayor), it gave me peace of mind having knowing he had the breadth of experience to handle any situation. He leaves the department in excellent shape.� Plenty can change in a community over nearly three decades, and that as certainly been the case in Butler’s Independence. police department has nearly tripled in size to 32 officers. Farmland once made up most of the city’s landscape. Today, the concrete and steel of shopping centers proliferate. Mayor Chris Reinersman said he appreciates Butler’s work and dedication. He said its served as an inspiration to him and those Butler leads within the department. “As mayor, I’m grateful to Chief Butler for building what I believe to be one of the finest police depart-

ments in the area,� he said. “While he will be sorely missed, one of the byproducts of his outstanding leadership over the past 15 years has been to develop a command staff that is well prepared for the next generation. His professionalism and high standards will be evident in this city for years to come.�

In Harm’s Way

Growth in the city isn’t the only thing that’s changed over the years, according to Butler. Nationally, police-community relationships have taken a hit, and he concerned about the way policing is viewed by some. “I don’t have answers to what’s going on in other areas in the country, thankfully we have not been touched as much by that here,� he said. “That goes back to us being involved. Here, we’re so ingrained in the community, people know their police.� What has touched the city of Independence, as well as the entire region, is the heroin epidemic. When Butler talks about the effect heroin has had on the region, his eyes grow weary. “It’s the worse I’ve ever seen.,� Butler said. “It’s not just in Independence, but it’s a regional and national issue. We need more treatment centers and we need to all work together to solve this problem. There are too many lives destroyed by this.� Along the way, Butler has had his share of victories. One in particular, from about 10 years ago, is seared in his memory. “There was a young lady who met someone off the Internet,� he said.

“This man had just been released from a halfway house in Texas. He came here, picked her up and they were traveling south on a Greyhound bus. We got a clue to trace and we ended up, with the help of the Louisville Police Department and Greyhound, finding them in Louisville.� officers When searched the man’s belongings they found rope and knives.

“My gut tells me he was going to hurt her, if not kill her,� Butler said. “I don’t know that for sure, but this case has really stuck with me. I really feel like we saved her life. That’s a most unique and satisfying feeling.�

The Undefeated

Kenton County ComAttorney monwealth’s Rob Sanders said he values Butler’s wisdom and insight, and encourages

Butler to stay involved in the field. “While his retirement is certainly hard earned after so many years of service, I'm also hopeful that we haven't seen the last of Shawn and that he remains active, in some capacity, within the law enforcement community,� he said.

At Woodcrest Nursing & Rehabilitation, we foster seamless transitions between levels of care and strive for all our patients to become as independent as possible. For Marie Knifper, this level of dedication and determination in a healthcare team was important after she had been hospitalized and was recommended to receive skilled nursing care upon discharge. Marie and her family knew when she came to Woodcrest that going back home alone wasn’t a realistic option. Because maximum independence is always our goal, we developed a personalized care plan for Marie that carved the path to a lower level of care. Marie worked hard to achieve her goals and was discharged to an assisted living community that will help her continue to thrive.

Lindsey Barriger wins a top Kentucky art award The Kentucky Art Education Association hosts an art competition for high school art students called the All-State Art Competition. The competition starts at the regional level, then the top 20 pieces from each region move on to the highly competitive state-level competition. At that level work is juried by a professional panel that includes art educators, professors, professional artists and graduate level art students. This year judges complimented the skillful level of artwork in the 13 categories, everything from drawing and painting, photography and graphic design to sculpture and ceramics. Not only do judges select ribbon winners in each category, they select one artwork for the top “Best of Show� and one artwork for the “Cultural Heritage Award.� Students from Boone, Campbell and Kenton qualified for the state art show and claimed many top awards. “Our region, the Northern Region, is considered one of the most competitive regions in the state when it comes to the AllState Art Competition,� said Rachael Burris, art teacher at Randall K. Cooper High School. “We have some of the best representations of digital art in the state and always give other competitive regions a run for their money,� Burris said. “This year’s artwork that made it into the state competition was no different.

New endowment to aid CovCath STEM program A new endowment has been established at Covington Catholic High School to benefit the school’s new STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) program. The endowment was established in the name of Greg Keller, a 1980 graduate of Covington Catholic. His lifelong friend and fellow alumnus Scott McKinley started the endowment in honor of Greg. “In my opinion, the STEM program is the most important new academic discipline that the school has ever sponsored. It will expand the career horizons of every young man in the program,� McKinley said. “I hope this endowment will help draw publicity about the program, garnering it more financial support, but also attracting bright students from around the area.�

According to McKinley, “Greg Keller emulated the essence of the program before the term STEM ever existed.� At Covington Catholic, Greg was a member of the National Honor Society and a Second Team All-State linebacker for the football team. He attended Northern Kentucky University while working at St. Elizabeth as a phlebotomist. He did graduate work at the University of Illinois on a teaching fellowship, earning an MS in biology based on research of the effects of heparin-binding proteins. Later, he also received an MBA and worked as a quality control manager for Coca-Cola, La Croix and Precision Packaging. Greg died in August 2000 after a three-year battle with Hodgkin’s disease.

inner at the ArmyNavy Club. Guided tours of Arlington National Cemetery, the World War II Memorial and other significant sites. Four World War II veterans – three from Kenton County and one from Indiana – attended the 70th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day May 8 in Washington, D.C., enjoying the special trip as guests of The Urology Group. But the most striking event during the V-E Day remembrance at the National Mall was the flyover by vintage airplanes as the veterans watched in awe. “They had Flying Fortresses that took off from Reagan Airport and they had smaller other planes ... Altogether they had 53 planes,” said Navy veteran Walter Kraus, of Crescent Springs, who watched from one of the VIP seats at the National Mall. “They flew in little sorties” of World War II-era planes, B-25s, B29s, Navy Hellcats. “It was excellent,” Kraus said. “It was excellent, I tell ya. Everything was so well organized and so timely. It amazed me. Being in the military I’m not used to that,” Kraus said with a laugh. After returning to Northern Kentucky, Kraus, now 94, reflected on his role in the global struggle to defeat Japan and Germany from 1941 to 1945. He volunteered in 1939 to serve on a submarine after graduating from Newport Central Catholic High School in 1938. His first deployment was the USS-36 submarine, the oldest sub in the Asiatic fleet. It sustained damage from depth charges and despite repeated efforts by the crew to keep the 23-year-old sub afloat, S-36 ran aground on a reef off the coast of Indonesia on Jan. 20, 1942, the second submarine lost in the war, he said. Kraus was transferred to a newer submarine, the USS Snapper. By V-E Day on May 8, 1945, he was in New London, Conn., preparing to launch a new submarine into commission. Kraus served 30 years in the Navy, rising to the rank of commander. Noah Switzer, 89, of Taylor Mill, agreed that the flyover was a highlight of the trip. “I really enjoyed the flyover. It reminded me of taking over Iwo Jima in 1945,” Switzer said. For 36 days Switzer, a medic in the 5th Marine Division of the U.S. Navy, survived “the bloodiest battle of World War II.”

Bullets flew constantly. Mortar shelling by the Japanese was so intense that for three days he completely lost his hearing and communicated with fellow medics using hand signals. Eventually won by the Americans, the Battle for the island of Iwo Jima became known for the iconic photograph of soldiers raising the flag at Mount Suribachi. Also on the trip were Howard Requard, 89, of Edgewood, a Marine who fought in the Battle of Okinawa, another major battle of the Pacific theater, and Gerald Bentle, 90, of Milan, Ind.,who served in the Army in Naples, Italy. “I enjoyed the entire trip.

It sort of wore me out because of my age,” Switzer said. “Every minute I cherished. It was a great lifetime opportunity.” The four are patients of The Urology Group, which planned and paid for the trip. “These men represent the courage and sacrifice of an entire generation. It’s been a pleasure to get to know them as patients and as people, and it’s our honor to help them enjoy this national recognition,” said Gary Kirsh, president of The Urology Group. “I’m grateful to The Urology Group for inviting me and taking care of us. they really treated us royally.” Kraus said.

Rita has a secret morel patch, whip up lasagna for 2 Sauteed gourmet mushrooms Delicious as a side, or an appetizer on good quality toast. Try them as a topping for grilled steak. If you are lucky enough to have morels, let them soak about 10 minutes in water with a bit of salt added. This makes all the little creatures that might be in the mushrooms leave their happy abode. Then drain, rinse and drain again. Dry thoroughly and cut into halves or quarters. If you are using the mixed wild mushroom blends, slice as necessary. Now this is a go to taste recipe. Use a large skillet so that mushrooms cook quickly without steaming. I tossed in some watercress from our spring-fed pool right at the end. Jean Robert adds a splash of liqueur. I sometimes add a splash of brandy while the mushrooms are cooking. 8 ounces mushrooms 1/4 cup butter or bit more if needed – I usually add more 1 small shallot, minced 1 teaspoon garlic, minced Salt and pepper to taste Heavy whipping cream, unwhipped (optional) Parsley chopped (optional)

Heat butter and add shallots and garlic together. Cook over low heat until shallots are tender but not brown. Add everything but cream and cook over medium heat until mushrooms are tender. Add cream to taste and let it cook a bit until desired consistency is reached.

Lasagna for two THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

Corey, an East Side reader, needs recipes for two. So if you have some to share, please do. “We’re newly married and both busy with careers. I like to cook but don’t want to have to eat leftovers for a week,� she said.

Morels are going for about $60 a pound right now. Jean Robert de Cavel has them on his menu, and other chefs lucky enough to have a source are doing the same thing.

I’m pretty sure you won’t see a photo like the morels pictured here just anywhere. What a bounty! Of course, I can’t tell you where we forage for them, but take my word for it: they were huge and a gourmet treat. Morels are going for about $60 a pound right now. Jean Robert de Cavel has them on his menu, and other chefs lucky enough to have a source are doing the same thing. But it’s fun to know that a country girl and her friends can enjoy the whole process, from foraging Rita to eating. Heikenfeld Here’s my simple recipe with options for using other mushrooms. RITA’S KITCHEN Mushrooms contain antioxidants and vitamin D, which lots of folks have in short supply.

Readers want to know What is an easy way to chop mint and basil without making it turn dark? The reason herbs turn dark after chopping is that they oxidize – the cut parts exposed to air turn dark as they sit. To quickly chop a lot of mint or basil, stack several leaves and roll them up tight long ways, like a cigar. Then slice width-wise into narrow pieces to make long thin strips, also called julienne slices. Chop the strips again for smaller slices, or leave them as is and you’ll get pretty ribbons of herbs. Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educator, Jungle Jim’s Eastgate culinary professional and author. Find her blog online at Abouteating.com. Call 513-248-7130, ext. 356.

Walton Fire Department has a storied history Back before city water was widely available, all towns had serious concerns with fire. Illumination and heat were by open flame. Houses were mostly of wood. Neighbors were “closer” back then and could be more readily depended upon, however efficiency at a fire was problematic without organization and pecking order. Walton Fire Department’s website lists 1880 as the date of their “Bucket Brigade.” It is known that a dozen dedicated fire cisterns were planned and constructed along the streets; some are still there. Records from 1898 show that Chief Taylor Stilley and assistant Chief Eugene DeMoisey were the only paid firefighters. They got $2 for every fire they responded to. On June 4, 1902, Walton Trustees appointed “Mr. Alford Stephens to take charge of the fire engine for one year for $15 and $1 for each time he takes it out for fire provided if said Stephens does not

keep said engine clean and primed and in working order at all times he is not to have any compenThomas sation whatSchiffer ever.” The fire COMMUNITY RECORDER GUEST cisterns were COLUMNIST actively used until 1936 when Walton got its first running water. As an aside, during the 1937 flood, Walton was one of the few local cities with fully functioning running water. When the electric power failed, Walton Fire Department’s new 500 gallonper-minute pumper was used by John Stephenson to fill the elevated supply tank from its source. The Walton Volunteer Fire Department was organized in 1947 and most able-bodied men were members. The Woman’s Auxiliary – organized in 1952 – as a vital adjunct. Notable events: 1957,

train derailment in Walton involving white phosphorous; 1966 Verona derailment and propane boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion; 1971 trash fire spread to drug store, barber shop, a house and the Walton Garage; 1977 carpet mill fire; 1983 fire at Walton’s City Building. The Walton Fire District has greatly expanded and covers 44 square miles and 12,000 residents in parts of Boone, Kenton, Gallatin and Grant Counties. Exposure is to two major interstates, two major railroads pipelines and aircraft carrying nearly everything moving in commerce plus countless people daily. Residences, barns, warehousing, industrial and commercial housing are covered. Walton has two fire houses, a large fleet of modern equipment, six persons on A Shift, five on B Shift, three on C Shift and a number of volunteer EMT’s.

CH@TROOM Last week’s question How do you think the Supreme Court will rule on the issue of same-sex marriage? How should they rule?

“Ehhh just let them get married and be as miserable as the rest of us, plus I would watch gay divorce court on TV all day long, that would be hilarious.”

Matt Berry

“They aren’t asking for special rights, they are asking for equal rights, not sure how anyone can be denied that purely based on whom they love.” Donnette Ryan Plunkett

“Of course they should allow it. Same-sex marriage does not affect my life in any way. If it was about corrupting the institution of marriage, well, straight people corrupted that long ago with marrying for money/sex/and a whole host of other reasons besides love ... I just went to a beautiful same-sex couple’s wedding this weekend. There was more love, family values, and joy present there than at a lot of weddings I have been to. Sexual orientation has no bearing on your ability to have a happy, healthy marriage and family.” Jen Schultz

“Keep it out of the church and I see no problems.” James Bartley

“Our society has seems to have turned into quite a permissive society where anything and everything is OK and acceptable. I’ve got mixed fixed feelings about it all.”

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION How do you plan to observe Memorial Day? What is your favorite local or national veterans memorial site? What do you like about it? Every week we ask readers a question they can reply to via email. Send your answers to ndaly@community press.com with Ch@troom in the subject line.

“Well I know not that long ago in our history the marriage of mixed race couples was up for debate. I’m glad that my love/relationship status is no longer up for debate and I appreciate the struggles of same sex couples to be accepted and be recognized I’m sick of people and their judgment.” Ashley Nicole

“Against.”

Mary Ann Maloney

“I hope they rule in favor of it. It really is the final movement towards civil rights for all. With the court split in terms of right and left it will come down basically to Justice Kennedy’s vote and hopefully he will chose to be on the right side of history. “People can use the Biblical passages as their defense for heterosexual union, however in one of the oft-cited passages, one should not not work on Sundays, wear clothes of mixed thread or eat shell fish. From that stand point Red Lobsters should be picketed daily, yet I don’t see it. “Gay marriage will in no

way diminish heterosexual marriage. I don’t understand that argument. I feel that religious institutions can still come out against it, but to do so will only point out how bigoted the institutions are. “I look towards the new covenant teachings of Christ and he had nothing to say on gay marriage. He did have something to say about the difficulty of the rich getting into heaven comparing it to being more difficult than a camel passing through the eye of a needle. I don’t see people picketing mansions or standing next to luxury autos over in Kenwood telling people to repent. “It is time to gay marriage is accepted and religious institutions either accept it or admit that they are selective in terms of what they choose to focus on Biblically.” C.S.

“I believe they will rule against it, as they should in respect for the thousands of years of societal norms, rather than trying to prove they have a ‘better idea.’ The legal ramifications of allowing this new legal status opens too many possibilities for long-established taboos on animal affection, pedophilia, close relative unions and concerns over widespread abuse of the tax system and destruction of health care systems.”

D.B.

“I believe the Supreme Court will recognize marriage as the union of two people who love, honor, support and respect each other. Such faithful partnerships benefit all cultures and societies contributing to harmony and world peace.”

Marie Hill

“I feel that the Supreme Court will approve same sex marriage. Why?, because it is going to be pushed and pushed down our throats until we have every state accepting it. That does not make it right. And I am against it b/c one of the reasons man and woman get married is to have a family. Children need a mom who is female and a dad who is male, period. Not two men who say they are mom and dad or two women who say they are mom and dad. “And I do not think that people are born gay. It is a choice they make. The same holds true with transgenders. Why can’t we be happy with the gender that our Lord made us to be. Kids are being subjected to this kind of thinking that there is something wrong with them so they want to be gay or transgender. I feel so sorry for my grandchildren to live in a culture where anything goes with no restrictions or laws. I am totally against the Supreme Court ruling in favor of same sex marriage.” D.M.H.

“In 2013 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that married same-sex couples were entitled to federal benefits and, by declining to decide a case from California, effectively allowed same-sex marriages there. I suspect they will again rule ‘in favor’ of same sex marriage across all 50 states. The United States was founded on the separation of church and state. While there may be religious teachings against this practice, the court will look at the U.S. Constitution not the Bible.”

T.D.T.

Over 70 years ago this month, World War II ended in Europe with the surrender of Germany and the Axis Powers. In that war, the men and women who are now our veterans fought to protect many of our rights including the right to vote. As leaders in the Democratic Party in the region, we remind the almost 100,000 Democrats in the Northern Kentucky region to vote in the Democratic Primary next Tuesday. Democrats have the opportunity by their vote to select their candidate for Kentucky governor and Kentucky state treasurer. Our World War II veterans spent up to five years in foreign lands under harsh conditions to literally save the world for freedom. Next Tuesday, take a few minutes of your time to honor a veteran not only of World War II but all American veterans from the War for Independence to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to cast your votes for Kentucky governor and treasurer.

Indians, Eagles qualify for state tennis

Coach to football community:

IT’S COOL TO BE KIND Ben Walpole bwalpole@enquirer.com

Nearly all high school students – at one time or another – have suffered the indignities of being the object of someone’s joke, rude behavior or indifference. Imagine how uplifting school would be if the school’s most visible students – its athletes – stepped in to make things right. If Kevin Siple’s vision comes to fruition, that would be the norm across the Tristate. “I don’t think high school kids even for one second consider what the person feels like that’s being made fun of,” said Siple, head football coach at Grant County High School on the southern edge of Northern Kentucky. “They’re just interested in the laugh for themselves. I think empathy is a learned behavior that someone has to teach them. “If kids would just walk around and greet somebody, it just goes such a long way. It doesn’t cost anything to be nice. I just want to teach our kids how to be compassionate and empathetic.” Siple thinks the solution might start with athletics. “One day I was sick of reading and seeing stories about these kids being bullied and abused, suicides, you know? So I wrote a letter,” Siple said. “I don’t have some master plan. I just wanted to see if other people were on board.” Siple, former head coach at Indian Hill High School, sent an impassioned plea for compassion at school to all the football coaches on a Northern Kentucky lists erve to get the conversation started. “There are kids that get on the bus in the morning and come to school and they’re just ignored. They’re not talked to. Or they’re laughed at,” Siple said. “I know it’s been going on a long time. I think the internet stuff - now it makes it so public for these kids to be harassed. Maybe there’s something we

KENTON COUNTY — Nate Doggett had never played a tennis match before joining the varsity boys tennis program at Holy Cross High School as a freshman. Two years later, the Holy Cross junior will be headed to the KHSAA state tournament after advancing to the semifinals of the Ninth Region singles tournament. Doggett will play his first match Thursday, May 14, in Lexington. “I’ve gotten to meet a lot of other guys from different high schools,” Doggett said. “They said it’s an amazing experience, playing on UK’s court and getting to feel what it’s like to play in a major tournament. I’m excited for it…. I know no one from Holy Cross has gone in a very long time for singles, so I’m really excited to get down there and get some experience at the state level.” Doggett won three matches in the regional to get to the semis, including an upset of Ryle’s Max O’Leary, who had beaten him 6-1, 6-2 early in the season. “I got to play my game the first three matches,” he said. “(Against O’Leary) it was early season. I hadn’t really got used to my style of play this year. I wanted to beat him and get to state and I went in with a good mindset.” Doggett picked up the game quickly over the past three seasons after not having to try out for the team as a freshman. “I showed up to the tennis meeting and they said well we need seven guys, there’s seven here, so you’re all on varsity,” Doggett said. “And I’ve been playing since then.” The state tourney will also

can do.” But why sports? Why football coaches? The logic in Siple’s answer is sound. “Our players generally are the public kids,” Siple said. “Whether they deserve it or not, they typically are the ones looked up to. So if they change it, maybe it’ll be cool to be inclusive instead of exclusive.”

Ludlows’ Wofford heads to college hoops James Weber jweber@communitypress.com

LUDLOW — After injuring her knee against Bellevue, Tori Wofford enjoyed coming back four games later to beat the same team Jan. 23. Wofford, a Ludlow High School senior, scored 21 points that night to lead the Panthers to a win at Bellevue, one of Ludlow’s groundbreaking 15 wins this season. “We played them again at Bellevue and we won pretty big,” she said. “We got up big in the first quarter and I was glad I was able to play that game. It was a great experience.”

Wofford will keep playing hoops after signing to play for NAIA St. Catharine College in Bardstown, Ky. “I like the coaches a lot. They were really nice,” Wofford said. “The team was really welcoming and really nice.” Wofford averaged 16.5 points a game to lead Ludlow to a 15-14 record and an undefeated mark in Division III of the Northern Kentucky Athletic Conference. Ludlow won the conference title, as did the boys team, which was also perfect, and it’s the first time in school history both teams have done that in the season. “I’m very proud of her,” said

When a player does a good deed around the school, we get a star on our helmet to symbolize their character and what they did.” For Woolley, it’s part of building a football program and school community based on respect and kindness. “I agree 100 percent with what Kevin was saying,” Woolley said. “The littlest things, they can really go a long way helping somebody out a lot. It might not be much to you, but you never know, it can mean the world to them.” See COACH, Page 2B

Northern switches to Horizon

Coach

Better proximity to other schools among benefits

The holistic approach

Shannon Russell srussell@enquirer.com

Northern Kentucky University has unanimously approved its membership in the Horizon League and will begin participation July 1. Two days after The Enquirer revealed the university’s impending vote to change leagues, NKU’s Board of Regents approved the move in a special meeting Monday at the Student Union and closed the chapter on a three-year affiliation with the Atlantic Sun Conference. As coaches and media members looked on, Norse officials ratified membership in the Midwestern-centric Horizon League with Cleveland State, Detroit Mercy, Illinois at Chicago, Oakland (Mich.), Valparaiso, Wisconsin-Green Bay, Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Wright State and Youngstown State. “We’d officially like to welcome you to the Horizon League,” Commissioner Jon LeCrone said in an ensuing press conference. The Norse compete in 17 of the Horizon League’s 19 sports. Athletic Director Ken Bothof said the conference is a perfect fit for NKU in terms of the experistudent-athlete ence, alumni engagement, potential for rivalries, opportunities to generate ticket revenue and exposure for sponsors in the media market. LeCrone said NKU is an ideal match because of its leadership, commitments to higher education and athletics, and “great potential.” “It marries well with our league because we be-

lieve we’re a league of potential,” LeCrone said. “One of the things we want to do is make sure we’re positioned in this new world order as you see intercollegiate athletics change and evolve. We want to be positioned to be highly competitive but to completely understand that our primary and fundamental objective is to add to the college experience through sports.” For NKU, one of the biggest attractions is the Horizon League’s geographic footprint. Seven Horizon League schools are located within 300 miles of NKU, allowing Norse teams to book more charter bus trips than plane rides and shorten the time away from campus. The A-Sun featured Southeastern schools in Florida Gulf Coast, Jacksonville, Kennesaw State, Lipscomb, North Florida, South Carolina Upstate and Stetson. So to Kelley Wiegman, a guard on the women’s basketball team, the conference change is welcomed news from a travel standpoint. “Sometimes with longdistance Florida trips we’d miss almost a whole week of class, which is really hard to make up. So definitely these closer teams and schools will make it a lot easier on us,” Wiegman said. Bothof said NKU will save an estimated $255,000 annually in travel with the league change. Those savings will allow the university to meet the Horizon League’s $1.15 million entry fee in four years. Details of the Norse’s Atlantic Sun exit fees have not yet been determined. “We’re in the process of having that conversation with them and once those issues are resolved, which I anticipate they will be, we’ll be able to share what (the exit fees)

are,” NKU President Geoffrey Mearns said. Atlantic Sun The thanked NKU in a statement and wished it well. Per the statement: “Our membership action will continue to be centered on thoughtful, logical membership growth. We have been actively involved in discussions with a number of prospective institutions. member While no invitations to join our conference have been extended, we will provide updates as developments warrant over the coming weeks.” Ticket sales, sponsorships, donations and TV will make NKU’s transition lucrative. Bothof said the Horizon League has a media rights deal that places its events on the ESPN family of networks, and its footprint places the conference in five of the country’s top 35 media markets. New men’s basketball coach John Brannen called it a “great day for NKU athletics and for the direction of our university.” Brannen, who was hired about a month ago, the conference said change won’t affect the way his staff recruits. “We have a certain way that we’re going to recruit

be a new experience for Scott junior Cameron Shi, who also reached the semifinals. Shi has only been playing the sport for a year and a half after moving here from China. Shi was the two seed in the tourney. “He really had an year,” outstanding head coach Nick Benge said. “He was a little bit untested. Some of our key matches along the way had been rained out. I felt he had the ability to get to the finals. He’s still learning the game. His inside-out forehand is his strength. He can just rip that cross court. If you get it back you’re in a pretty defensive position.” Shi is looking forward to his first trip to the state tourney. “I would not be surprised if he goes down there and beats some people,” Benge said. “The whole experience reminds me of my kids on Christmas. It’s a magical time and it was fun to walk the walk with him. We’re still walking.” Follow James Weber on Twitter, @JWeberSports

to our style of play and the approach we’re going to take, and regionally based recruiting is going to be very important to us,” Brannen said. Part of the 10-school league’s draw is its roundrobin format for basketball, something Brannen has never experienced as a college coach. He said he looked forward to having a true regular-season champion and cultivating rivalries with Horizon League teams. Last week the league announced a partnership with Olympia Entertainment to host the men’s basketball tournament in Detroit for the next five years. NKU’s reclassification to Division I will be complete in 2016-17 when it is eligible to compete in tournaments. NCAA Norse teams will compete in full Horizon League schedules next school year. Mearns said NKU has no immediate plans to add more sports programs, like Horizon League-supported swimming and diving. For now, NKU will focus on its current teams. “This is an institution on the rise, and our horizon has never been brighter,” Mearns said.

At Milford High School, head coach Shane Elkin is leading a renaissance football (the community is still buzzing about the Eagles’ season-ending win against neighborhood rivals Loveland) through what he calls a holistic approach. “I just feel that if you’re a winner, you can’t just win in athletics,” Elkin said. “You can’t compartmentalize your life. “I want them to be the leaders, the people that our community aspires to be.” Players can earn what is known as Eagle Pride status by demonstrating high levels of empathy, leadership, acachievement, ademic community service time and athletic participation. “Personally, I love giving back to the community,” said junior Clay Knecht, an all-conference player who has played for Milford football teams since he was in the first grade. “I feel like football has given me so much.” Like the Scott football program, Milford has a leadership council. Elkin meets with a select group of players bright and early at 6:15 Monday mornings. With 30-some seniors set to return next season, Milford hopes to contend for a league championship. The Eagle Pride buy-in from the players, showing more compassion for their community, is part of that turnaround. “The attitude on the team itself is completely different,” Knecht said. “Everything about the team looks like it’s on the rise.”

The next step The response to Siple’s initial email has been huge. “I got a lot of positive feedback,” Siple said. “I have a whole group of coaches who want to be involved in Kentucky.” Even a local restaurant or two expressed interest in helping out. Siple envisions putting together a professionally developed curriculum for coaches, maybe something they can use to talk with their players about empathy once a week during the season, he said. “If we talk to our kids for 10 minutes a week for a 10- or 12-game season, if everybody would do that, I think that would start something and then I don’t know, see where it goes,” Siple said. “I just think that kids have to be taught. I think you have to show them examples.” Siple had examples as a kid at his Fort Thomas home, where his mother raised three boys on her own. “I can remember: Somebody was in jail for robbing and home invasion. And my mom and my grandma said, ‘Well, maybe he didn’t have any food,’” Siple said. “They just always looked at the good in human beings instead of dwelling on the negative. They tried to find the positive.” And Siple had examples at Highlands High School, where he starred on the Bluebirds football and baseball teams. “I had a lot of coaches who were good to me and influenced me to do the right thing,” Siple said. “It affected the way I am as a husband, the way I raise my children and I think it will affect the way my children raise their children. It’s generations. When you teach people to be empathetic, it changes you. It will go generations.

NKU Notes » Northern Kentucky men’s basketball head coach John Brannen has completed his staff, adding David Ragland, Ronald Nored and Sean Dwyer as assistant coaches and former NKU standout Tony Rack as director of operations. Most recently an assistant coach at Bowling Green, Ragland also spent four years as an assistant coach at Indiana State, two years as head coach at Vincennes University and three years as the assistant coach at Vincennes. In all five seasons at the Division I level, Ragland’s teams have reached the postseason. This year’s Bowling Green team earned a berth in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT). In his four seasons working with the Sycamores, Indiana State made appearances in the Tournament NCAA (2011), NIT (2013, 2014) and CIT (2012). Nored comes to Northern Kentucky following a two-year stint with the Boston Celtics of the NBA, where he served as a player development assistant coach under current Celtics head coach and former Butler head coach Brad Stevens. A

championship pedigree, which was forged during appearback-to-back ances in the men’s basketball NCAA Division I nachampionship tional game while a player for Stevens at Butler, follows to Highland Nored Kentucky. Heights, Nored and Co., lost to Duke in the 2010 title game and then fell to UConn in the 2011 championship. On the bench in Boston, he was vital to the success of the 2014-15 Celtics team, which reached the NBA East Division playoffs. After spending the last four seasons on the same staff at Alabama as Brannen, Dwyer comes to Northern Kentucky to join Brannen’s staff at NKU. Dwyer devoted the first two seasons with the Crimson Tide as the video coordinator before serving as a special assistant to the head coach in his final two campaigns in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. He served four years as a student manager at his alma mater Michigan State, where he was a part of the Spartans’ 2009 run to the national championship game and four-straight NCAA appearances and worked with Billy Donovan at Florida for one season as video coordinator. Norse Nation also welcomes home a familiar

face in Rack, who played for the Norse from 200812. He graduated from NKU as one of the promost-prolific gram’s shooters, ranking third all-time in 3-point field goal percentage (.443) and ninth in threes made (160). Rack worked the lastthree seasons with the Winthrop men’s basketball program. After starting as a graduate assistant, the final two years in Rock Hill, South Carolina, were spent as the team’s director of operations. » Northern Kentucky University’s Dani Devlin and Sydney Ferrante were honored as a part of the Atlantic Sun Conference All-Conference teams in softball. Devlin was named to the first team, while Ferrante was an all-freshman selection. The awards mark the first time an NKU softball player has received postseason recognition in the Division I era. Devlin, a sophomore catcher from Chicago, was far-and-away NKU’s top offensive producer, leading the Norse with a .347 batting average, 19 extra-base hits including 12 home runs, 30 RBIs and a .712 slugging percentage that ranked fourth among conference batters. Half of Devlin’s home runs came against

league opponents, ranking third in the A-Sun, and her 12 long balls were the most by a Norse player in the Division I era, surpassed just once in team history when Kaylin Steinmetz had 23 homers during the 2012 season. Ferrante, a freshman shortstop from Southington, Conn., was a strong addition to the Norse lineup, starting all 48 games for the Norse, compiling a .267 batting average with eight doubles, a pair of home runs and nine RBIs while scoring a team-best 27 runs. Ferrante was a fixture near the top of the Norse lineup, standing second on the team with a .359 on-base percentage while drawing a teambest 20 walks as well. She racked up a 14-game onbase streak running from April 1-21, during which she scored 10 runs for the Norse and posted four multi-hit games. Defensively, Ferrante had a hand in 11 of NKU’s 30 double plays turned on the season.

TMC Notes » Thomas More College had five student-athletes named to the Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC) Softball AllConference team by the conference’s 10 head coaches.

Achieve adequate amounts of Vitamin D Vitamin D has gotten a lot of media coverage lately as various studies have tied normal levels of vitamin D to certain health benefits and lack of the vitamin to certain diseases. While many of these current studies provide conflicting messages, it is generally understood that vitamin D is needed for optimal health. It helps us absorb calcium and phosphorus, so we can have strong bones and teeth. The vitamin also regulates the amount of calcium in our blood, helps strengthen our immune system and helps regulate cell growth. It also decreases the risk of falls in older

number and hours. Individuals who have certain skin diseases may not be able to get adequate amounts of vitamin D, as they need to limit their skin’s exposure to the sun. People with dark skin, older adults and overweight individuals may not be able to produce adequate amounts of vitamin D with sun exposure alone. Winter sunlight is also not strong enough for any of us to get adequate amounts of vitamin D. We can get our dailyrecommended amount of vitamin D by adding foods to our diets that naturally contain vitamin D or are fortified with the vitamin. Fatty fish such as

salmon, cod and tuna naturally contain high levels of vitamin D. The vitamin is also found in egg yolks in smaller quantities. Foods fortified with vitamin D include most milk, some orange juices, yogurt, cheese, cereal, bread and soy drinks. A reference to vitamin D is usually only found on food labels of fortified foods. Vitamin D supplements are also available for those deficient in the vitamin. Check with your doctor before adding any kind of supplement to your diet. Kathy R. Byrnes is Kenton County extension agent for family and consumer sciences.

Who are you accountable to? God is the only accountability partner we need. Although God is Guest truly our Columnist best accountCOMMUNITY RECORDER GUEST ability COLUMNIST partner, most of us need a little extra help. The scary thing about accountability is that we can fool ourselves into thinking someone is keeping us accountable when in fact we are just enabling one another. (Like the best friend you called up and talked into enrolling in Zumba class with you, but the very next week, she called you and talked you out of going to Zumba and instead you stopped by Frisch’s for hot fudge cake.) The issue of accountability is a serious matter, and the Bible has lots to say on the issue. One of my favorite verses reads, “Therefore, con-

fess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working� James 5:16. So powerful in this verse is the fact that we can be healed through the prayers of a friend (an accountability partner.) I have often found myself “going it alone� with many of the struggles and strongholds in my life, only to find that I cannot bear the burdens alone, and therefore I give up. I find encouragement and hope in the fact that when I confess to my brothers and sisters in Christ, through prayer and repentance, I can be healed; truly healed. Wow! I encourage you to seek out an accountability partner this week, confess your struggles and ask for prayer; then watch for God’s miraculous healing.

It’s hard for me to believe that it has been nearly 10 years since I lost 50 pounds. I vividly remember the guilt, shame, and embarrassment I carried with me along with the extra weight. Since losing the weight, I have gone on to coach hundreds of men and women in weight loss and health and wellness. I can honestly say that among all of them, less than 1 percent were unknowledgeable about “how� to lose weight. Knowledge is not the issue – accountability is. Rarely do people come and ask me “how� to lose weight, yet often they come to me stating, “I just need someone to be accountable to.� Such is true in all areas of life. Most of us know right from wrong and long to do the right thing. We simply need someone to keep us accountable. Frustrating is that no one seems to ask for help these days in other areas of life. We either think we can handle it on our own, or that

Treat ash trees now to stop deadly borers Question: What can I do to protect my trees from the ash borer that’s coming to Northern Kentucky? Should I go ahead and start spraying now? What chemical should I use? Answer: The emerald ash borer is already a major problem throughout the Northern Kentucky area. Actually, the entire commonwealth is now quarantined, preventing transport of all firewood across state lines to areas not also quarantined, unless a special permit is obtained. Any ash tree not protected with the right chemicals will probably die within the next few years. Unfortunately, this also includes the millions of ash trees in our wooded areas. It’s already getting late in the season to treat your own trees, but definitely go ahead and do so as soon as possible. Products containing the active ingredient imidacloprid (Bayer Advanced Tree & Shrub Insect Control, Bonide Annual Tree & Shrub Insect Control, Ferti-lome Systemic Tree & Shrub Drench, Green Light Tree & Shrub Insect Killer, etc.) are available to homeowners for do-it-yourself protection of ash trees against attack by the emerald ash borer. The treatment is very simple. For most products, you simply pour the liquid spray concentrate into a bucket containing

one to two gallons of water, stir, then slowly pour the solution around the base of the Mike tree. (AlKlahr ways follow label HORTICULTURE directions CONCERNS regarding mixing and applying specific products). Green Light Tree & Shrub Insect Control with Safari (dinetofuran) also is an option. Annual applications should be made between late March and late April or early May, according to label directions. The treatments can help to protect trees that are up to 60 inches in circumference (measured at 4 1/2 feet above the ground). Larger trees require injection of insecticides which are available only to licensed commercial applicators. This is best done during the month of May. Consider several factors when making treatment decisions: tree location, health, value, treatment cost, and removal/ replacement expense. There is no consensus as to how long treatments may be needed. However, it is likely that trees will need to be protected for at least seven years as the EAB infestation sweeps through an area. Untreated ash trees will serve as sources of beetles.

You can get an idea of the number of ash trees in your county from this inventory: http://bit.ly/ NKYashborer. The number of trees per county range from over 6.8 million in Henry County to just over 38,000 in Martin County. The larger the population of ash trees, the longer and more intense the infestation is likely to be. For a list of ISA Certified Arborists who treat for the ash borer in Northern Kentucky, contact your local county extension office. Mike Klahr is Boone County extension agent for horticulture.
