NEWPORT — Campbell Coun-ty intends to finish a new 108-bed jail wing with a substanceabuse program focused on her-oin users by the end of 2016.

Fiscal Court unanimouslyauthorized borrowing $2.5million in April 2014 to convertDistrict Court offices at 600 Co-lumbia St., Newport, into a jail.

The addition will bring thenumber of beds at the CampbellCounty Detention Center to 656when counting the new beds andthe 123-bed Restricted CustodyCenter in Newport minimumsecurity inmates.

There will also be 24 new iso-lation cells built onto the back ofthe District Court building as anaddition, said Matt Elberfeld,who will take over as county ad-ministrator March 1. Elberfeldhas been promoted from direc-tor of finance.

The county plans to ask forconstruction bids for the pro-

ject this spring, Elberfeld said.Construction will last about a

year once it starts, he said.“Hopefully, it will be done at

the end of 2016,” Elberfeld said.Jailer James A. Daley said at

least 30 of the new beds will beused to house inmates in a sub-stance abuse program.

Opportunities for a sub-stance abuse program to even-tually use up to all 108 new bedswill be tied to available fundingfrom Fiscal Court and demand,Daley said.

There were 1,050 inmateswho entered the jail as heroinusers or on heroin-relatedcharges in 2014, Daley said.

The additional beds are alsoneeded to be under suggestedcapacity, although more in-mates can be comfortablyhoused, he said. The jail was de-signed for 425 medium andmaximum security inmates.And jail population increased tojust over 500 inmates a couple

FORT THOMAS — The city’snext proposal for saving 10U.S. Army officer homes onthe National Register of His-toric Places will be to pick asingle developer to work with.

Since no bids to pay for ren-ovating the properties were re-ceived in January, the city isfree to pick a developer to turnthe houses into private resi-dences, said Don Martin, cityadministrator.

Martin said he will present aplan Feb. 17 for council to con-sider how to proceed. Any planthe city comes up with willhave to be approved as well bythe U.S. Department of Veter-ans Affairs, which owns thehomes. The city and VA have adeal in place to transfer owner-ship of the homes upon agree-ing on a development and res-toration plan, Martin said.

Fort Thomas has beenspeaking with developerssince receiving no construc-tion bids Jan. 19 to find outwhat can be done to work on fi-nancial obstacles and entice acompany to take on the renova-tion project.

“The city does want to seethese houses restored,” Martinsaid. “ I mean, they’re an im-portant historic component of

our city and we would likethem to remain,” Martin said.

“It’s going to happen andwe’ve just got to find a path tomake it happen,” he said.

Some of the financial barri-er was lessened since 2011when the city tried unsuccess-fully to get developers to bid onbuying and restoring thehomes, Martin said.

As the valuation of thehomes fell from $2.4 million in2011 to $510,000 this year, thecity’s minimum asking price

was dropped from $1.5 millionto $900,000, he said.

And of the $900,000 mini-mum bid price, the VA will re-fund all $510,000 if remedia-tion of asbestos and lead paintexceed the assessed value,Martin said. Abatement costshave been estimated by an en-vironmental engineer at $1mil-lion, he said.

of times in the last year,Daley said.

“We haven’t been un-der our suggested capac-ity for well over a year,”he said.

Campbell County waswaiting on all offices tomove out of the DistrictCourt space before workcould begin to turn thespace into a jail, saidCampbell County Admin-istrator Robert Horine.Horine will retire March1.

The Kentucky Admin-

istrative Office of theCourts had agreed tomove out of the DistrictCourt space after the newjudicial center at 330 YorkSt., Newport, was openedin June 2012. Most AOC of-fices had moved out byJuly 2014, Horine said.Commonwealth AttorneyMichelle Snodgrass’ of-fice was the last to moveout in late December of2014, he said.

The AOC moved someoffices to the new judicialcenter. Probation and pa-role and the Common-wealth’s Attorney officeboth moved to Water Tow-er Square at 601 Washing-ton St., Newport.

Fiscal Court amendeda contract this January af-ter the District Courtbuilding was vacant witharchitectural and engi-neering firm Brandstet-ter Carroll Inc. The firmis working with the coun-ty to design the new jailspace. The contract, for$28,750, was entered intoin 2012.

There was a benefit ofhaving tenants in the Dis-trict Court building be-cause the county was paidfor the building’s use, El-berfeld said.

“We’ve always ownedthe building, they were al-ways just renting it fromus,” Elberfeld said.

for 11 years to come upwith a solution for thehomes, Martin said.

“If somebody were tobuy these for $900,000 thecity would break even,” hesaid.

Besides restoring thebrick homes, built in the1890s, all new sewer, gasand electric lines have to

be rebuilt to each house.All utilities are each on asingle loop, with one me-ter for all properties, hesaid. Sanitation DistrictNo. 1 of Northern Ken-tucky took the houses offthe sewer system in 2002over leaking and under-sized pipes.

“They’re not allowed togo back on that systemthat was there,” Martinsaid. “It needs to be re-built.”

An enticement for a de-veloper is the chance toalso build one and possiblytwo new houses on lots in-side Alexander Circle, hesaid.

Any new houses builtwill have to be approvedby the city’s design reviewboard and meet the U.S.

Secretary of the Interior’sstandards. New houseswould have to comple-ment the historic homeswithout having to be exactreplicas, Martin said.

“The enforcing agentfor that ultimately will bethe Kentucky HeritageCouncil,” he said.

When the homes onGreene and Pearsonstreets were sold to devel-opers in the 1980s individ-ually at the front of TowerPark, asbestos remedia-tion was not part of theprocess, Martin said. Thistime, the city is requiredto remove the asbestosand lead paint, Martinsaid.

Mayor Eric Haas saidMartin has been meetingwith developers that pre-

viously expressed an in-terest and find out whatthey think the problemsare.

“We were trying to do itthe simplest way possible,that kept the city out of itas much as possible,”Haas said.

Other ideas for the pro-ject, including creating aTIF (tax increment fi-nancing) district to help adeveloper finance roadand utility repairs are op-tions being considered, hesaid.

“There’s no doubt in mymind we’re going to figureout a way to make thisthing work because the al-ternative is to let them sitthere and degrade worse,which is not an option,”Haas said.

Parents visit St. Thomas

THANKS TO ANDY HEMMER

Parents joined students for lunch Jan. 28 at St. Thomas in Fort Thomas forCatholic Schools Week. Besides touring classrooms, the parents enjoyedvolleyball and games. Back row: Margo Hemmer. Front row: MeredithFennell, Kyle DeMann, Bradley Scharstein, Tayden Lorenzen, Henry Brooksand Jason Frisk. Their kindergarten teacher is Mary Laber. Her teachingassistant is Charlotte Walsh.

On Jan. 22 KentuckyState Sen. Wil Schroderwas on campus at Wood-

fill Elementary School to talkto fourth-grade students aboutstate and national govern-ment. This was the senator’sfirst classroom visit since tak-ing office Jan. 1.

The students are studyingstate government and will bevisiting the state capital inFebruary. Schroder and Rep.Joe Fischer will meet with theclass during their visit toFrankfort.

“Senator Schroder did anexcellent job talking to thestudents about his role as astate legislator and presentingfacts about our state govern-ment. It was my goal for thestudents to hear firsthandabout the knowledge, negotia-tion, and responsibility need-ed for the job,” said Tina Rey-nolds, fourth-grade teacher atWoodfill Elementary.

“The enthusiasm he hadwhen talking about the legisla-tive process and the role hehas in it made the process sim-ple to understand for my stu-dents. As his first class to pre-sent to as our newly electedsenator, the students and I feltvery fortunate to have himvisit Woodfill.”

Students in Reynolds’ classmade the following com-ments,

» “I can’t believe a real sen-ator came to my class,” saidVladimir Hoyle. “I liked howhe talked about the capitol

building and what offices areon the floors. I can’t wait to gothere.”

» “I think it was interestingthat he came to talk to us be-cause I don’t know much aboutgovernment. I liked how hetold us about all the rooms inthe capitol,” said Patrick Par-son.

» Maggie Ossege added, “Iliked how he showed us a slideshow and showed us the dis-tricts in the state. We are inDistrict 24. He showed us pic-tures of how he gives speechesand told us to be confident andcare when we give our speech-es. He introduced his wife,too.”

Sen. Wil Schroder talks to fourth-grade students at Woodfill ElementarySchool.

A group of Northern Ken-tucky University stu-dents are headed to our

nation’s capital for a national en-vironmental technology compe-tition this spring. They are devel-oping a mobile app designed toreduce the carbon footprint ofthe university’s more than 15,000students.

The students, from severaldisciplines, will participate inthe final phase of the U.S. Envi-ronmental Protection Agency’sPeople, Prosperity, and Planet(P3) competition, where theywill unveil the app prototype inApril. This follows the initialround of the competition, afterwhich the EPA awarded thegroup a $15,000 grant to developthe app.

In future phases of their pro-ject, students plan to create anapp allowing drivers to monitortheir pollution contribution andproviding information on howpollution-saving decisions con-tribute to clean air.

Dr. Christine Curran, NKUassociate professor of biologicalsciences, said she is impressedwith how students worked to-gether to accomplish a complexgoal.

“With NKU’s focus on trans-disciplinary education, this pro-ject brings several disciplines to

the table,” said Dr. Curran. “Anenvironmental scientist can tellyou how much pollution is outthere, and what effect the pollu-tion will have. The key is how wecommunicate to people to get outof their cars – use public transitand … walk around the corner in-stead of driving.”

Dr. Curran also pointed outthe potential financial benefitsof the research, both for NKUand companies looking to cutback spending without slashingbudgets. “It costs roughly$22,000 for one parking spot inone parking garage,” she ex-plained. “In turn, there is a greatbenefit in keeping cars off cam-pus.”

Dr. Zachary Hart, chair of theNKU Department of Communi-cation, has several students inthe department taking on themessaging strategy. The re-search students have done tomeasure and change pollutionoutput can only be successfulwith a strong message, he said.

“This project has been verymotivating,” Dr. Hart said. “It’sbeen so amazing to see studentsfrom multiple disciplines cometogether for a common theme.They can see that there are dif-ferent components, and it is avery real-world experience forthem. This is how projects oper-

ate, it takes many people to suc-ceed.”

Dr. Hart explained that theapp will show people how muchthey are saving by using publictransportation or carpooling ver-sus driving a car. It will be in agame format to maintain user in-terest and will show users howeach choice will immediately im-pact them, and the long-term ef-fect individual choices have onthe environment.

“Communication studentshave done a lot of research ofother schools and universities,on how they have promoted this

type of effort,” said Dr. Hart. “Atthe phase two competition inApril, students will bring a proto-type of the app, and if we win, wewill hopefully be able to take thatdesign to application and actual-ly implement the app.”

Dr. Hart emphasized the im-portance of students being ableto apply what they are learningto real-world scenarios.

“Almost all things have acommunicative aspect to them,”he said. “There is always a targetaudience and a process of figur-ing out the most effective way toreach that audience. With the

app’s development, students areevaluating what motivates peo-ple to carpool, and that person’sinterest in it, which is usuallymoney or time savings.”

Morgan Lyons, an environ-mental science major at NKU,has been researching health-re-lated issues that come from airpollution and the economic bene-fits of drive-share programs.Her role is to help communicatethe importance of maintaining aclean environment.

“I have always had an interestin geology, since I was a littlegirl,” Lyons said. “I just want toprotect the Earth and animals. Itis so important to inform peopleabout the benefits of keepingthis planet clean. Just becauseyou can’t see pollutants doesn’tmean they are not there.”

Although the project isbasedat NKU, the eventual the goal isto provide a template to majorcompanies looking to cut theirown carbon footprints.

“We are not trying to accom-plish a theoretical project,” saidDr. Curran. “We want to influ-ence what happens at our univer-sity and in the Greater Cincin-nati area. In the end, we will havesafer and less congested high-ways, a cleaner environment tolive in, and people who exerciseand are all-around healthier.”

Have you ever done this: You buymore meat than you can use because it’son sale. Sometimes you remember tofreeze it, sometimes you don’t.

If that sounds like you, we’re on thesame wavelength. Last week I boughtmore chicken breasts than we neededfor dinner.

I made chicken noodle soup out ofsome of them and intended to freeze therest. Because they were hidden out ofsight in the meat bin, I forgot aboutthem.

When they surfaced several days later,the chicken was still good enough to eat,but it needed to be cooked right away. Ihad a meeting that evening and couldn’tfuss with a recipe that took too much timeor was complicated.

This no fuss, quick recipe was justright. Really good tasting, too.

Use that extra chicken,cleanse with kale salad

THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

This quick Parmesan chicken recipe is an easy way to use extra frozen meat in a jiffy.

Moist and marvelous Parmesan chicken breasts

1/2 cup real mayonnaise1/4 cup Parmesan or Romano cheeseFew grindings black pepper2 large or 4 smaller skinless, boneless breasts1/3 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs (see Rita’s tip)

Preheat oven to 425. Blend mayo and cheese. Put chicken on sprayedcookie sheet. Smear topping on. Sprinkle with crumbs. Bake 20 minutes oruntil juices run clear in center when poked with a knife, about 160 internaltemperature. Residual heat will continue to cook the chicken even after it’sout of the oven, raising temperature 5 degrees or so. Don’t overbake orchicken will be dry.

Tip: Homemade Italian bread crumbsI had plain crumbs so I stirred in a couple shakes of Italian seasoning.

Annie’s Kale Salad - a cleansing salad My niece, Annie, brought this salad to our house as a side dish for

dinner. This has so much going for it, health wise. Annie used regularcurly kale. We grow Lacinato/Tuscan kale, which, to my taste, is milder inflavor. All kales are nutritious with anti-cancer properties: a cup providesmore than 100 percent of the daily value of vitamins K and A, and over 80percent of vitamin C.

Salad:

1 bunch kale torn into small pieces1-2 tablespoon olive oil1 Granny Smith apple, thinly sliced1/4 cup dried cranberries1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted, or bit more

Dressing:Go to taste on this, adding more of any ingredient if you want.

1 tablespoon fresh ginger juice (see Rita’s tip)2-3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar1 teaspoon Dijon mustard2 teaspoons honey1/4 cup olive oilFreshly ground pepper and salt

Whisk together ginger juice, apple cider vinegar, Dijon and honey.Whisk in oil and season to taste. Set aside.

Meanwhile, place kale in bowl and season with salt, pepper andolive oil. Massage well with hands – this breaks down cellular structure,making it more tender.

Add in apple, berries and nuts. Toss with dressing to coat. You canmake this hours ahead.

Toasting pine nuts: Best done in dry non-stick skillet over low heatuntil golden.

Making ginger juice: Grate ginger and squeeze out juice. Or placepieces in garlic press and squeeze out juice. This is the “hardest” part ofthe recipe since it takes some time. I like to freeze my ginger root, grate itfrozen, and proceed.

Tip: Ginger paste option. Try using a teaspoon or more of gingerpaste. Easier by far and a good keeper in the refrigerator.Rita

A8 • FORT THOMAS RECORDER • FEBRUARY 19, 2015

3,550.That’s how many of our

fellow Kentuckians will diefrom lung cancer this year,according to projections fromthe American Cancer Society.Nearly 8,000 Kentuckians dieeach year because of tobacco-related disease.

Kentucky’s House of Repre-sentatives took a stance lastweek to help reduce this num-ber by passing legislation thatsupports smoke-free work-places here in the common-wealth.

Smoking, or exposure tosecondhand smoke, is the No. 1cause of lung cancer, and Ken-tucky has one of the highestadult smoking rates in the coun-try. Kentucky continues to leadthe nation in lung cancerdeaths.

There is no safe level ofexposure to secondhand smoke.In addition to causing lungcancer, secondhand smoke is aknown cause of heart diseaseand stroke in adults, and theharmful chemicals found insecondhand smoke are knowncauses of SIDS, respiratory

infections, earinfections andasthma attacksin our children.

The Centersfor DiseaseControl and

Prevention(CDC) recentlyreported on thecontinued dan-ger of sec-ondhandsmoke expo-

sure. The CDC found that one infour nonsmoking adults and twoin five children are exposed tosecondhand smoke in the U.S.Smoke-free policies are one ofthe best ways to reduce expo-sure to secondhand smoke.

When asked, a majority ofvoters in Northern Kentuckyand across the state say theysupport smoke-free laws. Theyrecognize the importance ofsuch a measure and what it willdo for the health and well beingof our neighbors and lovedones. It further benefits thestate economically by reducinglost productivity and healthcare costs, many of which are

borne by taxpayers. Studiesfrom the Northern KentuckyHealth Department showed nodifference in support forsmoke-free laws along partylines. More than 500 organiza-tions and businesses supportKentucky smoke-free laws,including locally St. ElizabethHealthcare and the NorthernKentucky Medical Society.

Now is the time to do morethan just agree; now is the timeto act. The Kentucky Senate hasan opportunity to join with theHouse of Representatives topass a smoke-free law. Theyhave the chance to save lives byprotecting Kentuckians fromthe dangers of secondhandsmoke. This isn’t a liberal issueor a conservative issue – this isa Kentucky issue: a smoke-freelaw is good for the health andeconomy of the commonwealth.Please contact your legislatorsnow in support of the smoke-free law.

Dr. Mark A. Boyd is on the PhysicianAdvisory Committee of the NorthernKentucky Independent DistrictHealth Department.

Smoke-free law

Dr. Mark A.BoydCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST

It’s time for Senate to protect Kentuckians

Throughout my 32-yearcareer in business, both inoffices in Cincinnati and as alobbyist in Frankfort, I did notsmoke – but those around medid. During the 1970s and1980s, I spent all day, everyday in small offices in Cincin-nati filled with cigarettesmoke.

In the 1990s and early 2000s,I worked in the KentuckyStatehouse, which was alsofilled with secondhand smoke.

At the time, I didn’t thinkanything of it. Smoking atwork was commonplace. Thesecondhand smoke that I wasexposed to didn’t bother me. Itwas just part of doing busi-ness.

What I would later learn isthat my exposure to second-hand smoke was dangerous tomy health. Working in a smokyplace for six to eight hours isthe equivalent of smokingnearly a pack of cigarettes.

In 2003, I was getting readyto play in a Cincinnati Redsfantasy camp reunion when Icame down with pneumonia.An X-ray found a spot on oneof my lungs, and after a seriesof PET scans and CAT scans, Iwas diagnosed with lung can-cer.

Early in 2004, I had surgeryto remove 20 percent of mylung, and endured chemothera-

py from Marchthrough Juneof that year. Ilost my hairthat year aswell.

I was fortu-nate enough tobe declaredcancer-freelate in 2004.

However, Istill must en-dure annual

chest X-rays – and the worriedwait for results – to make surethat cancer hasn’t returned. Iused to love to run, but with 20percent of my lung removed, Ican no longer do so. I get out ofbreath going up steps.

My cancer diagnosis hasbeen a source of incrediblephysical and emotional hard-ship for my family. I tell peo-ple that I am a member of aclub and that the initiation isthe doctor telling you that youhave cancer.

I don’t want any more mem-bers in my club.

Yet, thousands of Kentuck-ians will join the lung cancerclub and, if they are fortunateto live, will still endure thesame hardships that I have.The American Cancer Societyprojects that 4,680 new casesof lung cancer will be diag-nosed in Kentucky in 2015, and

3,550 residents of our state willdie from it.

While I am now a lung can-cer survivor for more than 10years, most are not. Of thepeople who are diagnosed withlung cancer early, when thecancer has not spread outsidethe lung, only about half arealive five years post-diagnosis.

Offices like the ones Iworked at in Cincinnati andFrankfort are now smoke-free,but not all workplaces in Ken-tucky are. Employees in manybars, restaurants and otherbusinesses are still exposed tosecondhand smoke, as I was.

A smoke-free law can pro-tect all Kentucky workersfrom exposure to secondhandsmoke at work. It can alsoimprove our health, reducingrates of lung cancer, heartdisease and asthma.

If you think like me andwant to protect Kentuckiansfrom secondhand smoke expo-sure, please call the KentuckyLegislative call center – 800-372-7181. Tell your state repre-sentative and state senator thatyou support House Bill 145,“Smoke Free Kentucky,” andhope that they vote “yes” toeliminate smoking indoors inbusinesses, restaurants andbars.

Feb. 12 question:Should parents have the

right to decide whether to havetheir school-age children vacci-nated, and if they decide not to,should the children be permit-ted to attend school? Why orwhy not?

“I feel that if the child thatis not vaccinated could poten-tially make other studentssick, then they need to behomeschooled.”

Angel Moore

“I think it’s ridiculous thatsome people this it’s OK not tovaccinate ... It’s not just theirchild they are affecting ...They are putting everyone indanger.”

Shannon Kessel

“It would be a humanrights violation per the UnitedNations Universal Declarationof Human Rights, for parentsto be denied the right to havetheir non-vaccinated childrenin school. ‘Don’t Discriminate,’‘The Right to Life’ and ‘TheRight to Seek a Safe Place toLive’ are human rights, rightsimportant to those of us whohave decided against vaccina-tions, for a multitude of rea-sons. It is scientifically andstatistically proven that chil-dren are much more at risk,healthwise, from parents whodon’t understand the impor-tance of excellent nutrition,clean water, keeping theirchildren home when sick,washing hands and attendingto their child’s emotional andphysical distress with time,patience, and love and car-ing.”

Melissa Brown, Fort Thomas

“The parent should choosethe pace at which vaccinationsare given, by the time thechild enters school theyshould be up to date. Illnessspreads like wildfire inschools so it’s reasonable tohave rules to help protecteveryone.”

Lindsay Harkins

“Some vaccines (like mea-sles) cannot be given until achild is a certain age. So untilthey reach that age theywould be considered endan-gered of contracting it from anon-vaccinated child.”

Becky Robinson

“A non-vaccinated childcould get other people whoaren’t able to get the vaccinesick. Such as those with acompromised immune sys-tem, infants too young to re-ceive the vaccine, and theelderly. Herd immunity isimportant for that reason

alone. If the majority of thehuman race who can getvaccinated do so, those whoare unable have a lot less ofa chance of getting sick.

“And, just because youget the vaccine doesn’tmean you can’t still contractthe illness or disease, thisjust lowers the chance dra-matically.”

Bridget Haggard

“Why can they keeppeanut butter out of schoolbecause of the risks butallow non-vaccinated chil-dren? Isn’t the risk to myvaccinated child equally asimportant as the risk to theallergic child?”

Michelle Roeller Armstrong

“Your freedom to take arisk with your child’s healthends when that child getsnear anyone else whodoesn’t.”

Elsa Hale

“Everyone has the rightto choose ... however youneed to make sure you thinkyour choice through to theend possible consequences... too many make the choicenot to vaccinate and thenare outraged when theirchild gets the disease orsomeone else won’t let theirchild around that child infear for their child’s safety... remember this choiceaffects not only your childbut any child they come incontact with.”

Shellie Eggebeen

“I would rather keep mychild at home knowing he issafe and around a vaccinat-ed family than send him toschool with 50 unvaccinatedkids. I’m sure there are afew in every school, butbeing unvaccinated is start-ing to become a pandemicon its own.”

Bridget Haggard

LEXINGTON — When AndyCampbell began bowling for funa year ago, he had no concept ofjoining the Highlands HighSchool bowling team much lesscontending for a state champi-onship.

After copying the style ofone of the world’s top profes-sional bowlers, and months andmonths and hundreds of gamesof practice, the Highlandsfreshman capped off a meteoricrise by finishing fifth in thestate in boys singles Feb. 12 atCollins Eastland Lanes.

“It was my first time in thetournament, so I was just tryingfor the experience,” he said. “Ofcourse, everybody wants to win,but being my freshman year, Ijust wanted to establish my-self.”

The format of the tourneystarted with 32 boys and 32 girlsrolling three games for score.The top eight bowled an addi-tional two games, with the topfour finishers advancing to a

stepladder match-play bracketto determine the champion.

Campbell shot 1,110 (237-211-228-236-198) for the five games,averaging 222. His lowest gamewas his final one, 198, which al-lowed Nick Rowan of DuPontManual to pass him for the finalspot in the championship brack-et after he shot a 247. Rowaneventually finished as state run-ner-up.

“I knew I was in fourth placeand I needed to beat Nick,”Campbell said. “He threw a nicegame and I missed a couple ofspares. I’m happy with the re-sult but it was a shame I was theone who got cut off at the end. ”

Campbell started out bowl-ing for fun at LaRu Lanes inHighland Heights with hisHighlands head coach GlennSchmidt. About a month into hiseducation in the sport, he saw apro bowling tournament onESPN which featured Aus-tralian Jason Belmonte. Bel-monte, who has two of the mostprestigious pro bowling titles

For the secondyear in a row, the Saints as-cended to the No. 1rankingin Division III hoops. Thistime, they hope to staythere until they raise achampionship trophy onMarch 21in Grand Rapids,

Mich. “It’s

great rec-ognitionfor ourplayers andprogram.It’s fun forour fans

and supporters,” said headcoach Jeff Hans. “It’s ex-citing, but we want to bethere at the end of theyear.”

The Saints are winsaway from their second

straight undefeated regu-lar season, and third infiveyears. At their home gameFeb. 14, they celebratedtwo seniors, StephanieKrusling (McNicholas)and Sydni Wainscott (Si-mon Kenton), with a 91-70win over Washington andJefferson. Krusling hasbeen at Thomas More forall of Hans’ seasons, whileWainscott transferred in ayear later after a season atPikeville.

“On Saturday, I’ll be cel-

ebrating the past fouryears,” Krusling said. “Itmeans a lot that we’vecome this far. We play foreach other.”

Senior Night gave theircoach an opportunity to ap-preciate the seniors with-out having to say goodbyejust yet. “Just the peopleand young ladies they are,Icouldn’t be more proud ofthem,” Hans said. “Espe-cially this year, with theway they’ve adapted totheir new leadership

roles.”As the players have ad-

justed to different roles,they have built up a trust,and those relationships offthe court have helpedstrengthen their play onthe court.

There were bumps inthe road, but behind thesetwo seniors, the Saintshave come together andare getting stronger eachtime out. They have dom-inated Presidents’ AthleticConference play, winning

their 15 conference gamesby an average of 39.2points per game. TheSaints lead all of DivisionIII with an overall averagemargin of victory of 36.9points per game.

As the wins have piledup - Thomas More is 106-8over four seasons - thecrowds have grown. Homegames at the Connor Con-vocation Center cbring outlarger than average Divi-sion III women’s basket-ball crowds.

B4 • CCF RECORDER • FEBRUARY 19, 2015 LIFE

How are you today? .Often, when I sit to write,the words come quickerthan I can type. Today, Iscramble to organize mythoughts.

If you are like me,your family is extended,your schedule is busy andyour life is full. In thefullness, there are bless-ings that are too numer-ous to mention, yet thereare struggles too. As I sitand type, God is blessingmy immediate family andprospering us in so manyways.

At the very same time,I can look around at myextended family and myheart breaks. There ispain that is deep, andstrongholds that desper-ately need to be broken.

Even in a sweet, littlechurch on a floodwall in

Dayton,Ky., ,where Isat as alittle girllearningmy firstBibleversesand sing-ing “Je-susLovesMe,”

there is strife. On a Sun-day morning whenhymns should be sung,arguments have takentheir place.

It’s a sad day when wefind ourselves confusedand hurt in church. Yet,through all the pain inour lives, our familiesand even in our churches,there is one thing thatremains – God does not

change.His word did not

promise peace in theworld, peace in our fam-ilies, or peace even inchurch. Our peace isfound in one place – Him.John 14:27 reminds us,“Peace I leave with you;my peace I give to you.Not as the world gives doI give to you. Let not yourhearts be troubled, nei-ther let them be afraid.”

Regardless of yourpersonal storms or theones brewing around you,take heart – God hasovercome. Instead oftears may you be blessedto praise God the wayDavid did when he wasdelivered from his ene-mies; “And he said, TheLord is my rock, and myfortress, and my deliver-er; the God of mystrength in whom I willtrust” 2 Samuel 22:2, 3.

May God be the rockyou need this week anddeliver you from yourenemy.
