Fort Mitchell Public House owner Mike Hang,manager Del Dotson and general managerAndrew Rauf.

FORT MITCHELL - Mike Hang hasspent the last 20 years working in thesame location.

He’s served as bartender and man-ager for the restaurants Indigo and RedZone, located at 2053 Dixie Highway,Fort Mitchell. Now, in a new venture,he’s serving the community as owner ofFort Mitchell Public House in that samebuilding.

“I can’t image doing this anywhereelse,” said Hang, 47, of Lakeside Park.“Fort Mitchell is a successful communi-ty because the people here work hardand do the right things. We’re a reflec-

tion of that.”Hang said operating his own restau-

rant has been a dream for 25 years. Whenhe got the opportunity to get ahold of theDixie Highway location, he couldn’t passit by. “I’m a climb-the-ladder kind of guyand this was an opportunity for me to dobetter.”

A friend came up with the name Pub-lic House. “When he said it, I knew thatwas it,” Hang said. “It fit with what wewere wanting to create.”

Public House general manager An-drew Rauf, 30, of Erlanger, grew up inFort Mitchell. He also worked at Indigoand the Red Zone. He said he’s thrilled tobe working with Hang on this new con-cept.

“We are an upscale restaurant that of-fers pub fare with a Cajun twist. Ourjambalaya is our most popular item,” hesaid. “We are really excited to have thislocation. We have a deep knowledge ofthe community and neighborhood. Weare fortunate also to have a lot of commu-nity support. We are the neighborhoodhangout and see a lot of familiar faces.We know many of our customers byname.”

Public House opened in November2015 serving lunch after a seven-monthrenovation. It started serving dinner afew weeks ago.

Kentucky’s March 5 Republicanpresidential caucus in Northern Ken-tucky was marked by long lines of vot-ers and an evening of waiting to hear afinal result.

At 10:46 p.m., Donald Trump wasdeclared the victor in the first Repub-lican presidential caucus in Kentuckysince 1984. Tabulating results took anhour longer than the six hours pollswere open on Saturday.

Northern Kentucky bucked thestatewide Trump trend. Boone, Camp-bell and Kenton counties all three votedin this order: Texas Sen. Ted Cruz,Trump and Ohio Sen. John Kasich.

Caucus sites, one per county inBoone, Kenton and Campbell, werecrowded with voters during a six-hourvoting window. Kenton County’s caucusin Independence opened at 10 a.m. witha line of 1,000 people waiting to getinside, Kenton County Caucus ChairShane Noem said.

Still, the caucus brought fewerNorthern Kentucky Republicans out tovote than the May 2012 presidentialprimary election.

Boone County had 13 percent turn-out, down from 20 percent in 2012; Ken-ton also had 13 percent, down from 21percent in 2012; and 12 percent ofCampbell County Republican voterscame out, compared to 20 percent fouryears ago.

Northern Kentucky’s caucus partici-pation trailed statewide GOP turnout of18 percent. Kentucky’s GOP turnoutincreased compared to the 2012 pri-mary when 16 percent of Republicanvoters showed up.

Kentucky normally holds its prima-ries in May at dozens of precincts percounty, not one location. Kentucky’sRepublican party leaders moved thepresidential race to a March caucus toallow U.S. Sen. Rand Paul to run forboth president and re-election to theSenate. State law prevented him fromappearing twice on the May 17 primaryballot. Democrats will vote for theirpresidential choice on May 17.

The caucus throughout the daycaused a mix of anxiety and excite-ment.

Tempers flaredBoone County Sheriff’s deputies

were directing the line of cars thatstretched down the Mount Zion Roadgoing in and out of the polls.

The caucus rankled some voters.June Smith Tyler, of Verona, said she

was just mad.“I voted in November and they can’t

find my name,” she said. “I’ve got somuch to do today and I have been herethis whole time.”

Smith Tyler said she was among thefirst in line and has been a registeredRepublican voter for years.

“It’s not a caucus,” she said. “This ismass confusion.”

In Kenton County, people circled afull school parking lot for parkingspaces. A line of voters snaked aroundCampbell County High School wherethe wait to vote was an hour and a half.

Nate Burris, of Alexandria, showedup to vote at Campbell County High

School in Alexandria but couldn’t waitthat long.

“It’s terrible,” Burris said. “Whoeverset this up didn’t realize how manypeople would come. I’ve got to be some-where at 2.”

Joe Beckmeyer, of Wilder, opted towait in line to vote for Ohio Gov. JohnKasich.

“You’ve got the future at stake, chil-dren to worry about,” Beckmeyer said.“We can’t have another eight years ofwhat we’ve been having. The messageis loud and clear today that people aresick and tired of what’s going on.”

Cruz wins locally

Cruz won all threeNorthern Kentuckycounties with Trumpcoming in second in eachby 3 to 7 percentagepoints. Cruz garnered34.2 percent of BooneCounty votes, 33.35 per-cent of Kenton Countyvotes and 30.8 percent ofCampbell County votes.Trump came in second ineach county with 29.65percent of Boone Countyvotes, 26.91 percent ofKenton County votes and27.58 percent of Camp-bell County votes.

Uncooperative redtraffic lights didn’t stopDebbie Henlin, of Inde-pendence, from casting avote for Cruz. She madeit to Kenton County’scaucus location withminutes to spare beforethe polls closed at 4 p.m.

“I wanted to be here,”Henlin said. “Every redlight was determined tokeep me from being herebefore 4, but I made it.”

Why was it so impor-tant? She’s afraid of an-other Republican candi-date getting elected:Trump.

“I think we have aclear choice on a king ora constitution, and I don’twant a king,” Henlin said.“Trump would be theking.”

Trump’s bravado im-pressed other Kentuckyvoters.

“I voted for DonaldTrump and my reason ishe seems to have a lot ofpower and decisiveness,”said Teresa Kraft, ofUnion. “I just wish hewere more presidential.”

The criticism of

disabilities find a seatnear the entrance at toavoid standing in line.

“It’s exciting stuff,”Knochelmann said of thecaucus. “But nobodythought it would be thiscrowded.”

Trump from powerfulGOP figures, such as U.S.Sen. Mitch McConnell,only made Karen Alexan-der, of Covington, want tovote for Trump more.

“I think Washingtonhas become a good ol’boys establishment,”Alexander said. “I thinkTrump has started toshake everybody up, andit’s obvious at the re-sponse they’re getting,even from Mitch. I’m sodisappointed that they’reagainst him.”

By the numbers:Caucus turnout by

county was 7,421 in Ken-ton County, 6,837 inBoone County, and 3,717in Campbell County,according to state partyresults. Republican reg-istration by county are56,377 in Kenton County,50,939 in Boone Countyand 31,605 in CampbellCounty, according toKentucky Secretary ofState Office statistics.

Boone County caucuschair Phyllis Sparks saidshe expected half of the2012 primary turnout.

“I’m very pleased withthat number,” Sparkssaid. “There was a lack ofadvertising and promo-tion of the caucus in Ken-tucky and what to do.”

Should a caucus be repeated?

Republicans weren’tcertain they want anoth-er caucus again. If theydo have it again, theywould need more thanone location per county,several Republicans toldthe Enquirer.

It will depend on costand how angry Repub-licans that couldn’t makeit to the polls were, saidNeal Moser, a Republicanfrom Taylor Mill whohelped at the KentonCounty caucus site. Hegave the caucus overallhigh marks.

“People enjoyed cam-araderie and enjoyedbeing here,” Moser said.“It would have been bet-ter if there was moreparticipation from thecandidates’ representa-tives. Overall, it was agood event for partymorale and unity.”

LAKESIDE PARK -Marcie doesn’t have muchtime.

The 12-year-old mixedbreed pup has cancer.She’s dying.

Marcie was diagnosedshortly after beingbrought into the KentonCounty Animal Shelterover a month ago. Thegentle, brown-eyed girlhad been abandoned, leftto wander the streets hun-gry, cold and blind, shel-ter volunteer Bill Bakersaid.

Residents in the Lato-nia neighborhood whereshe roamed called theshelter. Animal controlpicked her up and broughther in.

She was covered infleas. The fur on her hindleg was nearly gone fromwhere the fleas relent-lessly fed for who knowshow long, Baker said. Theshelter staff and volun-teers cleaned her up, how-ever, her illness deemedher unadoptable. Likemany older pets her op-tions were limited – herfate destitute.

Baker, a longtime shel-ter volunteer, had a differ-ent vision for this discard-ed companion.

“When they broughtthis poor one in, I justloved her,” he said. Thatlove prompted Baker andhis wife, Libby, to inviteMarcie into their Lake-side Park home and theirhearts. “We thought we’dgive her some comfort inher last days. Turns out,

she’s done so much for us– reminded us what it is tobe human. She’s a joy.”

For the last five weeks,the Bakers have show-ered Marcie with lots ofattention and affection.

“She’s our little girl,”Bill Baker said strokingMarcie, his fingers sink-ing into her thick soft fur.

“She’s the sweetestgirl,” Libby Baker added.“And she has so muchcourage.”

The Bakers are keep-ing a close eye on Marcie,making sure she’s com-fortable, and loving heruntil her final momentcomes.

Shelter director Eliza-beth Cochran said she andothers at the shelter aretouched by the Bakers’gesture.

“This is the most beau-tiful and special adoption– the fact that they werewilling to take her on andtend to her needs and giveher a great life for whattime she has left,” Coch-ran said.

Lisa Binns, of Shelter-

Dog Photography, whovolunteered at the shelteras a photographer, hasknown Baker for morethan four years. She saidit’s no surprise that Billand Libby adopted Mar-cie.

“There is no way thatBill could have left thatsweet girl in the shelter,”she said. “Even knowingthat his heart will be bro-ken when she is ready togo, he couldn’t say no tothose beautiful eyes eventhough they will never seehis.”

Binns said that Marciedeserved better from herprevious family and thatshe “deserves to feel loveuntil her very lastbreath.... they all do.”

“Thank God that thereare still people, like theBakers, who know that,and who don’t just walk onby,” she said. “I’m aroundanimal rescuers all of thetime. They really are thebest people in the worldand Bill is one of the gen-tlest and most compas-sionate I’ve come across.

He would do anythingwithin his power to save adog, to make a dog morecomfortable or to helpthem in any way on theirpath to a better life.”

“It was a thrill … to feel thelife of the river. We becamepart of it, like the driftwood.”– Harlan Hubbard, The Shan-tyboat Journals

Northern Kentuckiansaren’t willing to let go of Har-lan Hubbard’s legacy morethan 70 years after the authorand landscape artist floateddownriver in a shantyboat toeschew modern society.

Fort Thomas conservation-ists have begun working torestore Hubbard’s HighlandAvenue studio so it can beconsidered for the NationalRegister of Historic Places.

Behringer-Crawford Mu-seum in Covington holds oneof the biggest collections ofHubbard artwork. Hubbard,who died at age 88 in 1988, hasother artworks on display inNewport, Covington and at theUniversity of Kentucky.

Born in Bellevue, Hubbardis famous for chronicling hisyears living a simple life alongthe Ohio River. Hubbardclaimed author Henry DavidThoreau as an influence.

Hubbard and his wife, An-na, started their Ohio Riverjourney in 1944 by launchingtheir homemade boat from theformer Campbell County com-munity of Brent just downhillfrom Fort Thomas.

Hubbard recounted theiryears of journeying the Ohioand Mississippi rivers to NewOrleans in his book “Shanty-boat.” Hubbard eventuallysettled in Trimble County,Kentucky, where he wrote“Simple Living at Payne Hol-low.”

About three months beforeLaurie Risch became exec-utive director at Behringer-Crawford in 1986, her sisterPaula traveled by boat to seeHubbard at his Ohio Riverbottomland home.

Her sister was able to con-vince Hubbard to donate somepaintings to Behringer-Craw-ford. Hubbard rememberedtheir grandfather, who ranGrimm’s lumber yard in Brentand supplied wood for Hub-bard’s shantyboat, she said.

Hubbard donated 21 paint-ings, 11 watercolors and sixwoodcut prints. The museumhas added two more Hubbardworks to the collection overthe years, Risch said.

Many of the scenes Hub-bard donated show areas ofCampbell County includingthe former Silver Grove rail-road yards and natural scenesfrom around Brent.

“We have worked hard tomaintain the collection and theHubbard legacy,” Risch said.

Hubbard rode his bicyclefrom Fort Thomas to Brent topaint regularly even beforebuilding the shantyboat, Rischsaid.

Sidney Thomas, who ownsHubbard’s former home, saidshe bought it with her hus-band, Bill, in 2006 before theygot married in 2010.

The Fort Thomas ForestConservancy filed an applica-tion Feb. 1 to seek placing theformer Hubbard studio, locat-ed behind the home, on theNational Register of HistoricPlaces.

“I love the idea that he getsto live on forever and peopleget to experience what hewanted to do with life,” Thom-

as said of the application.Chuck Keller, who wrote

the application, said the idea isto have a place for educatingpeople about the naturalworld. The studio needs re-pairs and a fundraising drive

is underway, Keller said.Thomas said her husband,

now deceased, chose the homebecause it belonged to Hub-bard. Preserving the studioand house for future genera-tions was their goal, she said.

HARLAN HUBBARD’S LEGACY“In the tradition of naturalists like Thoreau, Muir and Abbey, Ken-

tuckian Harlan Hubbard began to live a life of communing withnature, not fearing it. Harlan and his wife Anna became new proph-ets of environmentalism and sustainability, and made it their concert-ed mission to fully explore the symbiotic relationship of humans tothe natural world.”– Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft

ERLANGER - Erlanger hasbeen lit up with smiles, muchlike the lives of Nick and Britta-ny Smith.

It’s all because of theirdaughter Brooklyn.

Brooklyn, 5, of Erlanger, isalways smiling, according toher uncle Scott Smith, even inher fourth week of radiation.She receives about 15 minutesof radiation every Mondaythrough Friday.

In January, Brooklyn was di-agnosed with diffuse intrinsicpontine glioma (DIPG), an inop-erable cancerous brain tumor,the same that the late Mount St.Joseph student Lauren Hillbrought to the forefront of na-tional awareness. Hill’s motherhas even visited with the Smithfamily to offer support.

In Brooklyn’s honor on Feb.27 about 100 people gathered totie pink ribbons with Brooklyn’sname and a smiley face to treesand lampposts throughout theLakemont community wherethe Smiths live. The ribboncampaign was organized bySmile For Brooklyn, a recentlycreated nonprofit raising fundsfor the Smiths andhelping otherfamilies fighting DIPG and sup-port research.

“Smiles are contagious, butwhat a great positive conta-gious it is for many,” Smiles ForBrooklyn secretary Lynn Mok-rovich said. “As a city we can ac-complish much good by saying‘Yes we can’ and ‘No we won’tgive up hope.’”

According to Mokrovich, 200to 400 children are diagnosedwith DIPG each year.

“Research is still unable tofind a cure, but it is people likemyself and each of you that canbring hope for each child, fortheir families, and that one day

DIPG will not be the end ofsmiles,” she said.

Mokrovich describes Brook-lyn, her neighbor, as “a beauti-ful little girl who loves smiling.”

“I first remember Brooklynwhen we had our ParadeAround the Pond summer eventin Lakemont,” she said. “Thereshe was proudly being a part ofthe parade on her pink bicyclewith the training wheels on,pink sunglasses, and of course apink feather boa just to add a lit-tle flair. Thinking of that beauti-ful Sunday afternoon brings asmile to remember.”

Brooklyn’s uncle ScottSmith, spokesman for the fam-ily, said community supportmeans so much.

“We live in a great communi-ty,” he said. “All the support

we’ve been given is really help-ing.”

Funds raised will help sup-port the Smiths as they staywith their daughter, as well asdefray medical costs.

“Brittany has taken a leaveof absence from her job, so theydon’t have her income rightnow,” Smith said. “We don’tknow for sure how much medi-cal expenses will be but havebeen told it will be quite a bit.”

A variety of fundraisers areplanned to help the family, hesaid. On April 14 local come-dians Cathy “Chick” Halloran,Terry Foster and Michelle Bry-ant are hosting a night filledwith fun and laughter benefit-ing Smile for Brooklyn at Re-ceptions in Erlanger. Ticketscost $25 and can be ordered at

859-635-9220.Brooklyn’s school, St. Joseph

Academy in Walton, has helpedthe cause as well. The seventh-grade girls held a bake sale andthe school is having a specialraffle drawing. Tickets are soldduring the Friday night fishfries that conclude March 18.The school is selling Smile forBrooklyn bracelets and stu-dents are having a penny warduring Lent and hosting an auc-tion during their St. Patrick’sDay Party on March 12. Stu-dents and staff are keeping intouch with Brooklyn, sendingcards and writing letters.

“We support her financiallyas much as we can and especial-ly spiritually through our pray-ers and also letting the familyknow we are thinking aboutthem – through visits, emails,etc.,” said Sister Elizabeth AnnBarkett, St. Joseph principal.

Brooklyn has been unable toattend school as she receives ra-diation treatments. Smith saidit’s important that she not be ex-posed to any germs during thetreatment. If she were to getsick, treatments would have tostop. Once treatments stop, inabout two more weeks, shemight return to school if she’sdoing well.

Barkett said Brooklyn is“smart, beautiful, brave and no-tices things most children herage wouldn’t.”

Love and support from thosein Erlanger to those living allthe way in Ireland battlingDIPG has been an inspiration.

Lauren Hill, who died inApril 2015 after a public battlewith DIPG, has also been “agreat inspiration,” Smith said.Hill’s mother visited with Nickand Brittany, he said, “sharingtears, some smiles and laugh-ter.”

“Brooklyn knows who Lau-ren Hill is,” Smith said. “Nickhas told Brooklyn that LaurenHill had DIPG and fought reallyhard and that it’s very impor-tant that she fight as hard asLauren.

How hard do you imagine it isto catch a ball on a stick? Afterseeing Jake Fischer do it, the tasklooks easy.

But Fischer spends most of hisfree time honing his craft. It’sknown as kendama. Kendamasare a traditional Japanese toy inwhich a player attempts to land aball (tama) onto either the spikeof the handle (ken) or onto one ofthree cups on the handle.

Fischer is so good, in fact, thatthe 18-year-old Covington Catho-lic senior is sponsored by kenda-ma Co, a Denver-based kendamamanufacturer. Last summer,Fischer flew to Japan to compete

in the kendama World Cup. Heplaced seventh in the world.

How strange is it being a pro insomething while you’re still inhigh school? “It’s a little out of theordinary,” Fischer said. “It’s notweird to me because I try to em-body what (being a champion)meant – spread the game, im-prove the game.”

To further this mission, Fisch-er will host the inaugural QueenCity kendama Open on SaturdayMarch 12, at St. Pius X Elemen-tary School in Edgewood. Theevent includes all levels of com-petition. At least 10 professionalswill perform, but that shouldn’tintimidate newcomers. In addi-tion to advanced competition,there will also be events for be-

ginners and intermediate play-ers.

Newbies might just learn afew tricks from the pros. “I’molder than most people who do itnow,” Fischer said. “kendama is arelatively new thing. Since I

started, people have progressedmore. Kids are doing stuff I nev-er would have dreamed of a yearin.”

Fischer’s interest in kendamabegan about four years ago, thesummer before he enteredeighth grade. The game grew inpopularity around that time, buthas since waned. But not forFischer. He continued to masterthe kendama, and began compet-ing nationally about two yearsago.

“Having a kendama scene isreally nice for me,” Fischer said.“I wanted to keep the scene go-ing. “

Thanks to him, interest in ken-dama has grown in Greater Cin-cinnati. Fischer hosts regular

kendama club meetings at Learn-ing Express in Crestview Hills.And during a recent demonstra-tion at the Erlanger branch of theKenton County Library, nearly250 people showed up.

Robin Klaene, public relationsdirector for the Kenton CountyLibrary, has a 9-year-old son whois fascinated with kendamas. “Ithought it would be an interest-ing and unusual program for(Jake) to come and do a demon-stration at the library,” she said.

The event proved so success-ful, the library booked Fischerfor another event this summer.

Judging by the hype aroundthe Queen City Kendama Open, itappears a new breed of kendamachampions is emerging.

One of my most memorable cateringevents was a Jewish Seder supper. Now Iwill tell you this was years ago, and I knewvery little about the Seder supper cele-brated on Passover.

Well, about that time, our Catholicchurch held a Seder supper and I helpedwith the food. One of the items we servedat our church dinner was matzo bread/crackers that we purchased.

During the Seder meal that I catered, Iremember vividly the Seder plate with thecrisp matzo that the hostess had made her-self, in the center of the plate, surrounded by othermeaningful foods, all of which were important tothe celebration.

Recently, one of my listeners to my Sonrisemorning show program on Sacred Heart radiowanted to make homemade matzo for a Passovercelebration for her family. I had a recipe tuckedaway in my files so last night I decided to make it.

The history behind matzo is that it shouldbe made, from start to finish, in 18 minutessince that’s the time frame believed to keepthe dough from starting to ferment or leavenfrom the moisture.

It honors the quick departing of the Israel-ites from Egypt. They had to make bread inhaste so unleavened bread took less time, andthat’s what they made.

Did I finish it in 18 minutes? No, I dawdledaround but the recipe was super easy andtasty.

When I pulled it out of the oven I asked myhusband, Frank, if he would taste a piece. “Only ifyou put butter on it,” he said. So much for Passovertraditions!

Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educator,Jungle Jim’s Eastgate culinary professional andauthor. Find her blog online at Abouteating.com.Email her at [email protected] with “Ri-ta’s kitchen” in the subject line.

Easy homemade crisp matzo

This reminds me of the pita chips you buy. This is avery crisp cracker that is good for dipping or just breakingapart and eating. If you’d like to see step-by-step photos ofthe process, check out my abouteating.com site. This is afun recipe for the little ones to help with.

2 cups all purpose flour (you can also use wholewheat but you’ll need a bit more water)

1 cup water1 tablespoon salt1 tablespoon olive oil plus extra for brushing on

matzo

Preheat oven to 475. Spray cookie sheets.Mix the flour, water, salt and olive oil. Knead briefly

on a floured surface until the dough comes together into asmooth ball, a few minutes. You’ll need to add a bit of flouruntil it’s no longer sticky. Bless the dough!

With your hands, roll into log and then cut into egg-sized pieces. Roll each piece out as thin as you can. Whenyou think it’s thin enough, keep rolling! Transfer to cookiesheet and prick all over to prevent puffing in the oven.

You can put the breads close together. I brushed somewith olive oil. Bake until crisp and golden brown in spots,5-7 minutes or so. After they came out of the oven, Ibrushed them again with olive oil.

Mini Easter egg nests like Russell Stovercandy

I love these nests since they can be made with differ-ent kinds of high-quality chocolate. Desiccated coconut isquite dry and fine, with lots less moisture than regular. Isuppose you could use regular unsweetened flaked coco-nut, but I would chop it up a bit. Adapted slightly fromSerious Eats.

8 ounces finely chopped chocolate - your choice ofmilk, semisweet or white

1-1/3 cups unsweetened desiccated coconutDash green food coloring if you like for the white

chocolateTiny jellybeans or tiny pastel chocolate eggs

A publication of

Gov. Matt Bevin plans to cutfunding for higher educationby 4.5 percent this fiscal yearand another 9 percent over thenext two years. That is ashame, particularly as it ap-plies to Northern KentuckyUniversity.

NKU is seriously under-funded compared to the othermajor Kentucky universities,University of Kentucky andUniversity of Louisville. For-mer NKU President Dr. JamesVotruba and current NKUPresident Dr. Geoffrey Mearnshave worked tirelessly to erasethat funding gap. To his credit,Governor Bevin recently saidhe will work to erase the ineq-uity. I hope he will. Time will

tell.We have to

understandthat if we wantquality uni-versities, wewill have topay for them.It is wrong toload up ourstudents withhorrendousdebt. Stateschools should

be adequately funded by thestate, and yes, that could meanraising state taxes.

To begin, we need to askourselves what we are willingto pay for. The “no new taxes”syndrome has so permeated

people’s psyches that poli-ticians are afraid to even hintat tax increases for fear theywill lose their jobs. As a result,what they pay for adds to thestate’s debt and makes thingsworse.

The Greek people demand-ed services, such as full retire-ment benefits at 58, and thepoliticians gave them thosebenefits. But, the Greek poli-ticians didn’t have the courageto raise taxes enough to coverthe cost. The Greek govern-ment borrowed so much mon-ey it couldn’t repay its loans.Europe, particularly Germany,had to bail them out. We arethe only ones who can bail outus.

The Brent Spence Bridge isdead in the water. “No to tolls”has won the day. Raising theKentucky gasoline tax at thepump by just 5 cents a gallonwould bring in $150 millionannually and Kentucky’s shareof a new bridge would be paidoff in less than 10 years. Apenny at the pump raises about$30 million annually. Will thegovernor and the legislatorshave the courage to raise thegas tax?

Physical and behavioralhealth care costs keep rising asour population increases andservice demands grow. Theheroin epidemic has exactedenormous costs. The elderlypopulation is increasing. More

and more elderly and disabledwant to stay in their homesinstead of going to expensivenursing homes. Roads andbridges need replacing. Over-riding everything else is theunfunded liability of the stateemployee and teacher retire-ment systems left for Gover-nor Bevin to deal with.

We need to act. Tell thegovernor to restore the cuts touniversities and eliminate theinequity between NKU and theothers. Tell the legislators tohave the courage to raise tax-es. We should pay for what weget.

Ted Smith is a resident ofPark Hills.

Bevin’s cuts to NKU are a shame

TedSmithCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST

The Bevin administrationhas, to its credit, undertakenneeded measures to addressKentucky’s broken pensionsystem. Unfortunately, it hasproposed a deeply flawedapproach to funding thosemeasures.

There is no disagreementamong all observers that ourpension situation needs ad-dressing. The years of un-derinvestment have broughtus to a crisis point.

However, to address thepension crisis does not re-quire that we weaken ourcommitment to other criticalgovernmental obligations andresponsibilities.

Our commitment to highereducation needs to be strongin the increasingly complexglobal economy, where apti-tude, decision-making capac-ities and sophisticated skillsplay an ever greater role. Yetour universities are threat-ened with cuts that will seri-ously impair their ability toprepare students for thateconomy. Kentuckians willsuffer as we are less able tocompete.

The Chief Justice of ourSupreme Court has testifiedthat if proposed cuts gothrough, our entire judicialsystem will have to shut downfor three weeks. This is aconsequence that in any nor-mal time would be consideredunthinkable. It should be now.

The administration hassaid that it cannot maintainthe Medicaid expansion un-dertaken by Governor Be-shear, in part because of cost.To cut back this initiative,which has provided so many

benefits toKentucky andKentuckians,from primarycare to hun-dreds of thou-sands of indi-viduals, manyfor the firsttime, to dra-maticallyreduced unre-imbursedcosts to hospi-

tals and other providers, willbe a major step backward inour overall health status.

Numerous other examplescould be brought forward.The end result is the same.We cannot set the choice upas, do we want to cut off ourright foot or our right arm.We must be able to addressour pension crisis while main-taining other areas of govern-ment services.

There is a solution that isboth reasonable and timely.We can undertake tax reformin order to fund pension re-form.

Tax reform is not a newidea. Kentucky is ripe for it,and it has been on the tablefor years. Numerous civic andpolicy organizations, includ-ing the Commonwealth In-stitute for Policy Studies andCivic Engagement and theKentucky Center for Econom-ic Policy, have published stud-ies demonstrating the deepflaws in our present tax struc-ture. It is both unfair andinadequate to support ourmodern governmental needs.

The Institute for Taxationand Economic Polity (ITEP)has shown that the lowest-

income Kentuckians pay thehighest percentage of theirincome for taxes, while thehighest-income Kentuckianspay the lowest percentage oftheir income for taxes. Ourincome tax is essentially a flattax, peaking at a very lowincome level and remainingvirtually flat regardless ofadditional income. Our salestax base does not includemost services, which constitu-te an ever-increasing share ofour economy. Finally, we ex-clude more revenue throughtax abatements and deduc-tions than we actually collect.

Governor Beshear recog-nized the need and estab-lished a Blue Ribbon Tax Re-form Commission, whichproduced a broad set of re-form proposals. Unfortunate-ly, they have not been adopt-ed..

The need for tax reform isgreat, even if there were nopension crisis. What that cri-sis does is intensify the casefor tax reform. Adopting itnow would be the ultimatetwo’fer – getting much-need-ed new revenue and makingthe tax system more equi-table, while providing themeans by which to addressresponsibly the pension situa-tion.

Governor Bevin and theGeneral Assembly shouldadopt tax reform as the mostappropriate way to moveKentucky forward.

Foolish to forgetfinancial crash of 2008

Robert Hudson raises someinteresting points on the bene-fits of free market competi-tion vs. socialism (Column:‘Shark Tank’ v. socialism – thebattle of 2016).

Innovation, products andservices are some of the bene-fits of free enterprise but byno means the whole story.

It would be foolish and

likely very dangerous to soquickly forget the financialcrash of 2008. Thousands losthomes, jobs, savings and busi-nesses closed. Our infrastruc-ture is in serious disrepairwith tax cuts resulting in lessfunds for state and nationalgovernments to provide need-ed services.

No matter what your politi-cal views we are about to seethe super PACs unleash theirattacks and due to Citizens

United we will have no ideawho is controlling the air-ways.

To say free enterprise is“messy” is putting it mildly;uncontrolled big business hasa very dark side and it’s notjust about joy on some en-trepreneur’s face. There aresharks out there and they aretrying to eat most of the hard-working fish. John S. MorawetzErlanger

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Last week’s question

The Republican’s presi-dential caucus is a departurefrom the usual primary sys-tem for selecting the Ken-tucky’s GOP delegates. Howeffective was this 2016 cau-cus?

“The Kentucky Republicansheld a caucus this year for onepurpose only: to circumventthe law prohibiting a personfrom running for two offices atthe same time. This cost theParty a lot of money, alongwith confusing many of thevoters. There was no real bene-fit to having a caucus insteadof allowing the voters to per-form the same act at the pri-mary in May. The only brightside to the whole sad affair isthat the person for whom thisdebacle was performed,dropped out of the race forpresident before the caucuswas even held! Here’s hopingthat Senator Paul doesn’t doany better in November.”

Larry “Santa” VarneyDemocrat Candidate, Kentucky

House District 64

“I live in Boone County, amseverely disabled, over 65, andI am angry. I tried to vote Sat-urday morning in the Repub-lican presidential caucus, butwent home when I saw thehuge line on the highway. Icould not vote by mail becauseI am not 70 or older or in themilitary.

“I went back to the line onthe highway at 3 p.m., thinkingenough people were homewatching Kentucky’s last reg-ular basketball game. When Isaw the handwritten sign say-ing the polls were closed (after

waiting an hour), I blame theKentucky GOP and have thefollowing advice:

“Have a primary with localpolling places, not a caucus.Have the polling stations openfrom 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., not 10a.m. to 4 p.m. Allow residents65 or older and anyone with adisabled license plate or tag tovote by mail. And if they stillinsist on having a caucus, havepolling places with plenty ofparking, such as Florence Mall,not one for the entire county.

“The reason we wereswitched from a presidentialprimary to a caucus was toaccommodate one person –Sen. Paul. What a mistake!”

Claude Bordelon, Florence

“Apart from the traffic, Ithought it was good. I actuallyliked seeing people I know anddo business with around townbut didn’t know they wereRepublican. The turnoutseemed heavy although I don’tknow if it was because wewere all in one place or if itwas actually a great turnout.”

“Our sophomores forthe first time playedlike sophomores.” SCOTT RUTHSATZ CovCath coach

Covington Catholic’s two-year reign as Ninth Regionchampions ended in Mondaynight’s Ninth Region finals ina 52-47 loss to Newport Cen-tral Catholic. CovCath fin-ished 28-7.

Senior forward BenWeyer, the Ninth Region’splayer of the year, was aneasy choice for the tourna-ment’s most valuable playeraward. He was dominant with22 points, 12 rebounds andseven blocks, and his sup-porting cast came throughwith clutch shots and bigplays. The Thoroughbredswere 6 of 13 (.462) from 3-point range as a team.

NewCath jumped out to a7-0 lead over the first threeminutes of action. Solid pe-rimeter defense combinedwith the threat of Weyer de-fending the rim held the Colo-nels to just five pointsthrough the first period.Weyer scored seven of his 22points in the frame to lift theThoroughbreds to a 12-5 leadheading into the second quar-ter.

After falling behind by asmany as 11 on a Luke Moeves3-pointer with 6:27 to play inthe half, CovCath camestorming back with a 19-5 runmidway through the secondto take a 26-23 lead at half-time.

Cole VonHandorf scoredall 11 of his first half pointsduring the Colonels’ secondquarter comeback. He fin-ished with a game-high 25points on 10 of 20 shooting, in-cluding 2-for-7 from 3-pointrange.

CovCath drew within onepossession, 50-47, but theycouldn’t come up with anoth-er bucket against the Thor-oughbreds’ defense in theirfinal few possessions.

“Our sophomores for thefirst time played like sopho-mores,” CovCath coach ScottRuthsatz said. “When we gotdown late, our young guyswent into panic mode and wehad some unforced turn-overs. But overall, I wouldn’ttrade this group. They weregreat to work with. We wentfrom a team that was 12-6 at

one point to 28-7 now – not abad run with those guys.”

CovCath had won 17 gamesin a row since a five-point lossto Holy Cross Jan. 12. Thestreak started with a 58-43win over NewCath in thesame BB&T Arena during theBluegrass-Buckeye CharityClassic.

Growing up on a farmoutside of New Paris,Ohio, Jeff Hans learnedwork ethic, responsibility,and teamwork. He alsolearned basketball.

Hans and his uncleMike Harrison, just fiveyears his elder, createdtheir own basketball courtaround the family’s barnequipment. After puttingin their hours working onthe family farm, theywould compete on themakeshift court.

By the time he arrivedat National Trail HighSchool, Hans was a pol-ished point guard whoserved as a coach on thefloor, leading the Blazersto a sectional champion-ship in 1995.

“Jeff was a very intelli-gent player. He had agreat intuition for thegame beyond what youusually see in a highschool player,” said for-mer Blazers coach LesWise. “He was no strangerto hard work. He led sostrongly by example thathe dragged others alongwith him. He was the em-bodiment of what youwant in a point guard.”

Hans, who has ledThomas More College’swomen’s basketball teamto a staggering 143-8 rec-ord in his five seasons ashead coach, graduatedfrom National Trail andheaded to Wilmington topursue a degree in agri-culture. He intended toplay basketball, butquickly decided to join thegolf team instead. Thatfreed him up to help coachjunior high basketball atClinton-Massie MiddleSchool while he was stillan undergrad.

Then he met StaceeSmith, a transfer fromTransylvania University

and key player on theQuakers’ successfulwomen’s basketball team.

After following his fu-ture wife’s team up close,Hans stayed at Wilming-ton after graduation andjoined longtime coachJerry Scheve’s staff. Hehelped recruit the playerswho formed the nucleusof Wilmington’s 2004 na-tional championshipteam. There was no turn-ing back. Farm life wouldhave to wait as Hans em-barked on a coaching ca-reer, growing and culti-vating winning team afterwinning team.

“I knew he was a qual-ity person with a passionfor coaching and that hewould work extremelyhard, and that is what hedid,” said Scheve.

Assistant stops atNorthern Kentucky Uni-versity and Indiana Statewere followed by headcoaching gigs at St. HenryHigh School and Lexing-ton Catholic High School.He returned to NKU as anassistant under legendaryhead coach Nancy Win-stel. When Brian Neal leftThomas More to take anassistant position at Xavi-er, the Saints gave Hanshis first collegiate headcoaching job.

“There are always con-cerns when replacing acoach and especially asuccessful one like Brian.It is not just about win-ning, but a person who cangive our athletes a greatexperience,” said Saintsathletic director TerryConnor. “Jeff does a greatjob of blending talent tobe unselfish and play foreach other and for Thom-as More.”

Hans has rewardedThomas More’s faith byposting a 94.7 win per-centage and bringinghome the college’s firstteam sport national cham-

pionship. The Saints arefavored to repeat aschampions this year. Thecoaching staff’s knowl-edge and relationshipwith local talent has madethe program a recruitingpowerhouse. Seventeenof the 19 players on thisseason’s roster are localproducts.

Gabby Johnson playedand coached at ThomasMore under Neal andcoached alongside Hansat NKU. She is now thehead coach at DominicanUniversity and has ad-mired how Hans strives toconnect all eras of Saintsplayers to the currentchampionship run.

“As a coach myself, thething you strive for is a re-lationship with the play-ers and alumni,” saidJohnson. “Jeff has alwaysdone a great job of makingus feel like we’re a part ofthat success.”

The Hans influence isstarting to spreadthroughout women’s col-lege basketball. Johnsonreaches out to him often,and leans on his words of

wisdom to never stopworking or recruiting.Devin Beasley, whoplayed point guard for theSaints under Hans, justcompleted her secondseason as a graduate as-sistant coach at CentralMethodist University. Shehas a new-found apprecia-tion for her coach’s abilityto balance X’s and O’s withkeeping his players fo-cused and enjoying thegame.

“A lot of teams do notknow how to handle suc-cess. Coach Hans hasdone an unbelievable jobkeeping the team humbleand hungry in order tocontinue the ThomasMore tradition,” saidBeasley. “The one thingthat I have always ad-mired about the wayCoach runs the program iskeeping the winning cul-ture consistent. Contraryto belief, winning is noteasy and it is not cut outfor just anyone.”

How does Hans con-tinue to recruit highschool stars and get themto buy into the Saints sys-

tem? He follows the foun-dation laid by Neal and theplayers who won fivestraight conferencechampionships beforeHans arrived and addedfive more, building thestreak to 10.

“There is a sign thatsays, ‘For those who camebefore, and for those whowill follow’ in the lockerroom,” said Johnson.“Early on in your careerat Thomas More, you un-derstand that you’re play-ing for more than just thepeople in the locker roomat that time.”

Defending a title isnever easy. The Saints ranthe table this season, de-spite missing soon-to-be-three-time national play-er of the year SydneyMoss for the first fivegames. Madison Templeearned conference fresh-man of the year honorsand sophomores AbbyOwings and Nikki Kier-nan joined player of theyear Moss on the All-PACfirst team. The Saints en-tered the season rankedNo. 1 in the nation and en-ter the NCAA tournamentas the top seed.

“To defend a title, youneed players who have notbecome complacent orsatisfied. It certainly ap-pears that Jeff has themready to win anotherchampionship,” saidScheve. “First, it takesgood players. Second, ittakes players who arewilling to make the sacri-fices necessary to reachthat kind of level.”

Watch the Saints playand you get a sense of howmuch they enjoy playingfor their coach. He letsthem have fun, but he ex-pects them to play harderthan any team in the coun-try. He relies on his team’sdepth, even though theSaints boast what is likelythe most talented starting

five in the nation. Hemakes every player wantto compete and improveevery single day, no mat-ter how many accoladesthe program racks up.

“We built such a strongrelationship on the floorthat, even to this day, Iwould run through a wallfor that man,” said Beas-ley. “I can’t thank himenough for continuing theLady Saint legacy that Iam so proud to be able tosay I was once a part of,but more importantly, forhelping make me the per-son I am today.”

The work ethic andbasketball knowledgethat Hans developed onthe family farm playingwith and against Harri-son, now the head coach atNational Trail, helpedshape Hans into the play-er he became. His rela-tionships with Scheve,Neal, and Winstel helpedmold him into the champi-onship coach he is today.Those who have knownhim long before he ar-rived in Crestview Hillsare not surprised at all byhis success.

“That kid knew thegame before I got him. Ican’t take a lot of creditfor developing him,” saidWise, his high schoolcoach. “I told my wife andother people at that time,that if he chooses to, he’dbe a great coach. He justknew the game of basket-ball.”

Thomas More’s nation-al title defense began athome on Friday, March 4.For Hans and the Saints,there will never be a riskof complacency.

“Jeff has done an out-standing job everywherehe has been,” said Scheve.“And I think he is justscratching the surface ofwhat he can accomplish inthe future.”

Sports at all levelsfrom professional topeewee are entering thespring season. It is im-portant to rethink ourown beliefs and prac-tices when it comes tosports and sportsman-ship.

Whether the athlete,the parent, or the gener-al spectator, we all havea role to play in healthyattitudes toward compe-titions of all types.

Most adults knowwinning a competitionisn’t a prerequisite for

futuresuccess inlife. Some-times,however,we can getcaught upin the mo-ment andput toomuchpressureon our

children and others towin at whatever they do.

Good sportsmanshipis more important thanwinning. Good sports

treat teammates or co-workers, coaches orbosses, officials andothers with respect,fairness, generosity andcourtesy. They are alsoable to commend thegood performances ofothers, including theiropponents. They main-tain self-control in bothwins and losses.

Model good sports-manship. Others look toyou for appropriateways to respond to diffi-cult situations. Rewardeffort and gracefully

handle bad calls anddefeats.

Emphasize the proc-

ess over the outcome.Give praise for accom-plishments and improve-ments. This will helpothers feel like a winner,even if the scoreboard orevaluation says other-wise.

Respect the coach’s orboss’s decisions anddirections. Do not shoutconflicting messagesfrom the sideline orundermine them at thewater cooler.

If you witness some-one being a poor sport,discuss their behavior

and your objections to itwith them after thegame or event.

Most importantly,remember practicingand modeling life skillslike discipline, responsi-bility, commitment andteamwork are importantfor youngsters andadults alike.

Question: Should Igo ahead and prune myhydrangeas and otherbushes now, or waituntil they start togrow?

Answer: AnnabelleHydrangea, Hills ofSnow Hydrangea, Pee-gee Hydrangea, andsome of the otherwhite-blooming typesflower only on the newgrowth of spring, andthus should be prunedback now while theyare dormant, beforespring growth begins,and even before budsswell.

They can be prunedback severely if need-ed, and the new stemswill still produce flow-ers. Therefore, you canprune them now, orwithin the next two orthree weeks.

Be careful whenpruning other types ofHydrangea that bloomon old wood, such asOakleaf Hydrangea(little pruning needed)or any of the pink orblue flowering “BigleafHydrangea” cultivars(Hydrangea macrophyl-la). The latter should bepruned, as needed,immediately after theflowers fade in earlysummer.

Only prune out deadbranch tips at this time,to avoid removing flow-er buds. Other land-scape shrubs thatbloom in the spring(before June 1), such asForsythias, lilacs, Foth-ergilla, and Viburnums,should not be prunednow. Wait until afterthey finish blooming,then cut them back

within twoweeksafterflowersfade. Oth-erwise,you willbe cuttingoff theflowerbuds ifyou prunethem now.

Finish all pruning oftrees and shrubs byJuly 1 if possible, sincethat’s when the daysstart getting shorter.Plants begin to hardenoff for winter in July,as they detect theshorter day-length.Pruning them backafter that causes themto “de-harden” and gointo a growth mode,thus reversing the nat-urally occurring accli-mation (“hardeningoff”) process that getsthem ready for thewinter. For this samereason, no trees orshrubs should bepruned in the fall, espe-cially butterfly-bushand some of the otherless winter-hardyplants. A severe winterwould then be more aptto kill those plantswhich had been prunedlate in the year.

When pruning treesand shrubs, rememberthese basic rules:

» Don’t top trees.Topping, also known ashat-racking or dehorn-ing a tree, “rounds off”the top of the tree, cut-ting all branches backto the same height. Thisleads to quick regrowthof many brancheswhich are even weaker

than the previousgrowth. It also leads tomore problems withsun scald, frost cracks,and various disease,insect and borer prob-lems. The roots alsostarve due to the sud-den, severe reductionin sugars (“tree food”)due to the loss of somany leaves andbranches at one time.

» Always cut back toa side branch or anoutwardly pointingbud, rather than leav-ing branch stubs, whichwill die back and causedecay to go into themain trunk.

» Don’t make “flushcuts” directly againstthe trunk of the tree.Leave the branch col-lar, the slight swellingat the base of eachbranch where it atta-ches to the trunk or to aside branch.

» Never use treepaint, wound dressing,tree sealant, woundseal, black tar or blackpaint to cover a wound.It has been known byprofessional arboristsfor decades that allthese products areharmful, not helpful, tothe tree. Their blackcolor absorbs excessheat, leading to sunscald and frost cracks.They don’t keep out themoisture, they trap itagainst the tree, lead-ing to tree decay.

As more grandparentsbecome caregivers fortheir grandchildren,there are an increasingnumber of resources,support groups and in-stitutions they can utilizeto better serve them-selves and their grand-children.

Support groups allowcaregivers to share in-formation, offer adviceand receive help withissues that arise whenraising a grandchild.Many cities across thestate and nation havedeveloped support groupsfor grandparents who areraising their grandchil-dren. If you are raising agrandchild, a supportgroup may be beneficialfor you.

Support groups havemany pluses. Researchindicates attending sup-port groups can be bene-ficial to your health aswell as your emotionaland physical well-being.Having the social supportof others can boost theimmune system by reduc-ing a person’s anxiety andpsychological stress,

especial-ly if themembersof thegroupeffective-ly canrelateand com-municatewith eachother.

Thesegroups also offer you theopportunity to talk toothers who are dealingwith similar circum-stances and situations.Many times, you will findthese individuals to beunderstanding, empathet-ic and full of practicaladvice. It is often reliev-ing and reassuring toknow that you are notalone. Group memberscan also provide comfortand encouragement.

Support group mem-bers can encourage eachother to take care ofthemselves as well askeep a positive attitude,which will help both youand your grandchild inthe journey. It is impor-tant to remember that

support groups are not“pity parties,” but theyare designed to providean opportunity for peopledealing with similar is-sues and circumstancesto come together anddiscuss their feelings andthoughts.

Support groups are agreat way for you to getpractical information thatcan help you effectivelyraise your grandchild andnavigate the legal system.In Kenton County, myco-worker Joan Bowlingworks with several othercommunity members tofacilitate our own “Rela-tives Raising Children”support group. The nextsession will be Friday,March 18, beginning atnoon at our Durr Annex,3099 Dixie Highway inErlanger, K-Mart Plaza.Lunch and child care areprovided. Please call toreserve your spot at 356-3155, or to get more in-formation.
