Parents getting their stu-dents to opt out of CommonCore tests
is unheard of inNorthern Kentucky school dis-tricts and forbidden
by stateeducation officials.
Kentucky was the first U.S.state to adopt Common Core in2010.
Kentucky EducationCommissioner Terry Holliday,upon hearing about
public callsfor parents to file an opt-out fortheir child from
CommonCore, sent a letter to all schooldistricts in April 2014.
In Kentucky, districts areunder no obligation to honor aparents
request to opt out ofthe Common Core State Stan-dards, curriculum
or testing,Holliday wrote in his letter.
A March 10 Enquirer articledetailed how parents are opt-ing out
of Common Core inOhio.
A check of Northern Ken-tucky school districts told adifferent
story. The Communi-ty Recorder asked officials ifparents and
students are seek-ing to avoid Common Coretests. The answer was
no.
Not so fast, says Terry Do-noghue of KentuckiansAgainst Common
Core.
Kentucky is not the only
state with a policy forbiddingan opt-out of Common Core,but
parents constitutionalrights allow them to do what isright for
their children, Do-noghue said.
They have no right to stopthat, he said.
No Common Core opt-outs in NKY schoolsCommunity Recorder

to improve access, mo-bility and economic vi-tality through
NorthernKentucky. Improve-ments have alreadybeen identified for
mostof the roadway and workis in varying stages ofplanning, design
and im-plementation.
However, improve-ments have not yet beendetermined for the
por-tion that extends be-tween Ky. 17, or MadisonPike, in
Independenceand the Campbell Coun-ty line.
This 6.5-mile seg-ment of Ky. 536 is theonly remaining sectionof
the entire corridorthat does not have a pre-ferred alternative or
im-provement plan in place.This segment was leftuntil last because
of itsfragmented connec-tions, drastic elevationchanges, poor
sightlines, broad range of en-vironmental factors,and, most
importantly,extremely high crashrates, according to Ro-byn
Bancroft, the scop-ing studys project man-ager.
As the study pro-gresses, informationwill be posted on
OKIswebsite,www.oki.org/536.
Independence hasbeen the fastest-grow-ing city in Kenton Coun-ty
over the past decade,and the forecast is forthis strong growth
tocontinue, said Inde-pendence Mayor andOKI Board MemberChris
Reinersmann.Ky. 536 is vital to im-proving access and safe-ty to
key residential, em-ployment, and commer-cial
destinationsthroughout NorthernKentucky.

A national United OptOut website available atbit.ly/1Dt70v5
gives par-ents guidance to file a civilrights complaint against
aprincipal or administratorfor stopping an parentsopt-out request,
the He-bron resident said.
Boone County Schoolshas received zero re-quests to opt out of
testing,and if Boone officials re-ceived such requests, theywould
not be granted.
Exemptions are justnot allowed, said BenLusk, Boones director
ofassessment.
All Boone County ad-ministrators, teachersand coaches received
aletter from the district of-fice before school startedin August
explaining dis-tricts are under no obliga-tion to honor a parents
re-quest to opt out of theCommon Core State Stan-dards, curriculum
or test-ing.
Weve had 100 percentparticipation since timeimmemorial, Lusk
said.
I do not know of a sin-gle instance where a par-ent or student
deliberate-ly evaded state testing orCommon Core, said Da-
vid Rust, director of aca-demic services for Belle-vue
Independent Schools.
Rust said he alsodoesnt have records ofstudents missing the
en-tire five-day window ofstate testing and then nottaking a makeup
test.
Campbell CountySchools has not receivedany requests to opt out
oftesting, according to anemail from Connie Pohl-geers, district
spokes-woman. Some studentshave been granted state-approved
exemptions forextraordinary medicalcircumstances from tak-ing state
tests, Pohlgeerssaid.
Fort Thomas Indepen-dent Schools Superinten-dent Gene Kirchner
saidhe is not aware of any re-quests to opt out of Com-mon Core. No
situationswhere a student was sickand didnt make up a testhave
happened either,Kirchner said.
This has not been anissue in our district, hesaid.
According to JessDykes, Kenton CountySchools director of
publicrelations and communityengagement, no exemp-tions will be
made when itcomes to Common Coretesting because it isagainst state
policy.
We dont have any par-ents asking, she said. Wedo get requests
from allover the nation from otherdistricts to visit our dis-trict
to see how well (Com-mon Core) is workinghere. Its been very
suc-cessful.
The Erlanger-ElsmereSchool District hasnt re-ceived any requests
fromparents to opt out of test-ing either, according toRosemary
WeathersBurnham who handlespublic relations for thedistrict. In
addition, shesaid, there is no exampleof students attempting
toavoid testing.
Jamee Flaherty, direc-tor of curriculum, instruc-tion and
assessment, saidBeechwood IndependentSchools has not receivedany
formal opt-out re-quests from parents relat-ed to Common Core
test-ing. Students haventavoided the testing either.
Students in our dis-trict take state assess-ments seriously,
Flaher-ty said. Testing is an op-portunity for the studentsto
demonstrate the knowl-edge and understandinggained throughout
theyear.

WALTON Almost ayear after Angelo andGus Soulas opened Ange-los
Family Restaurant inIndependence, theyveannounced their
nextventure: Bringing backWaltons Dairy Delight.
The building, on 0.55acres at 188 North MainSt., was well-known
as anice cream parlor andsandwich shop, but fa-ther and son
restaura-teurs Angelo and GusSoulas have really onlyseen it sitting
vacant.
For a while, about twoyears ago, someone oper-ated a partial
season inthere, selling sandwichesand ice cream in the sum-mer, but
it didnt lastlong, said Gus Soulas.My parents live in Wal-ton, and
we actuallylooked there before welooked here. Then, we gotwrapped
up in this place,but my dad kept passingit every day and it
kept
eating at him. Hes 74years old, and he cant sitstill.
Soulas expects to openin March or April, and hewants to keep the
DairyDelight name.
We have a lot of workto do there before we canopen up, but we
want tomake this happen, hesaid.
The father and sonteam know the Dairy De-light has a long
history,but they dont know verymuch about it.
It seems people real-ly like the idea. Peoplewere approaching
uswith questions before weeven signed the papers.We know they had
the BigEd, a hamburger that wasout before the Big Boy,Soulas said.
We want todo something similar towhat they had there. Welldo the
creamy whip.
He said if anyone has acopy or photo of the origi-nal menu, or
any histori-cal photos of the restau-rant, hed love to seethem.
Photos can be sharedon Angelos Family Res-taurant Facebook
page.Soulas said hed also liketo hear about what peoplewould like
to eat at thenew location.
Whatever they want,
thats what we want togive them, he said. Itwont be as extensive
aswhat we do here, but itshould be fun. We have alot of ideas.
Soulas said hes think-ing about serving pizzaand specialty hot
dogs,gyros, and ultimate load-ed waffle fries.
Walton City Adminis-trator Connie Goins saidshe was thrilled
theSoulas family is going toreinvigorate the DairyDelight.
Its exciting, shesaid.
Soulas said he hasstarted testing ice cream,and added an ice
creamsundae bar to the Inde-pendence restaurant.
Kids really love it. Itsbeen very popular, hesaid.
The ice cream, and theIndependence restau-rant, will stay
aroundeven after the new res-taurant opens.
We really love itdown here. We love beinga part of this
communi-ty, he said. Were not go-ing anywhere. Wevemade a lot of
really goodfriends, and we have a lotof support behind us.

My favorite cookie sheet isdecades old. It cost a lot lessthan
my restaurant quality
sheets which Ibought yearslater. When I usethat old cookiesheet,
I findmyself smiling,rememberingwhen my boyswere little andhow they
shapedcookie doughinto worms,tanks and bugsto bake on it.
Thats a piece of equipmentwith a history.
Whenever I have a speakingengagement about food orfamily, I like
to ask partici-
pants what their most trea-sured kitchen item is. It seemslike
just about everybody has afavorite utensil, pot, or gadget.Mine is
my mothers sifter,one lady said. Another men-tioned rolling pans
from grand-ma. One young person I men-tored treasured his
dadsapron: He wore that apronevery time he cooked dinner onthe
grill. Now I wear it, hesaid.
So dont get rid of that well-loved kitchen item when youreplace
it with new. Pass itdown to keep the traditions andmemories
going.
Mike, a Clermont Countyreader, needs a recipe fordairy-free
rolls that are suit-able for diabetics. Heres a
good one. I baked these on myold cookie sheet and theyturned out
just fine.
Can you help?Great Scotts chowder:
Trish M. remembers this chow-der fondly. Great Scott restau-rant
made the best potato, cornand jalapeno chowder. I'vetried to
duplicate it but it's justnot the same. I know they haveclosed but
is there any chanceyou can get the recipe? It wasone of our
families favorites.

These plump dinner rolls are dairy and egg free.
Dairy free, egg free dinner rolls
Powdered creamer is used by more than a few bakers to achieve
anice tasting, dairy-free dinner roll. I was surprised myself at
how wellthese turned out. They tasted as good as my higher fat
rolls. Nice along-side that Easter ham. These freeze well after
baking.
Diabetic exchange: The diabetic exchange is 1-1/2 starch, 1/2
fat foreach roll. You can make these by hand or machine.
1 tablespoon rapid rise yeast plus a couple pinches sugar2-1/4
cups warm water (110-115 degrees)1/3 cup sugar1/3 shortening1/4 cup
powdered nondairy creamer2-1/4 teaspoons salt5-6 cups bread
flour
Preheat oven to 350. Dissolve yeast and pinches of sugar in
warmwater. In a mixing bowl, add sugar, shortening, creamer, salt
and 5 cupsflour. Add yeast and mix well on low speed. Turn to
medium and beatuntil smooth. Add more flour if necessary to make a
soft, but stickydough. Either knead it for 6-8 minutes by machine
or by hand. If doingby hand, turn out on floured surface. Knead
until smooth, like a babysbottom.
Place in bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coat
top.Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch down and
turn outonto lightly floured surface; divide into 18-24 pieces.
Shape each pieceinto a roll. Place 2 inches apart on sprayed baking
sheets. Cover and letrise until doubled, 30-45 minutes. Bake for
15-20 minutes, until lightgolden brown.
Fruited chicken salad from Lazarus
I have a file of department store restaurant recipes. As
happensoccasionally, someone stopped me at the grocery and asked if
I had arecipe for this particular one. Anyway, heres the recipe
with my sidenotes, from the Columbus store, I believe.
SaladMix together:
4 cups cooked chicken, cubed or chunked up8 oz. diced dates1 cup
diced pineapple -- drained1 cup diced celery1/4 cup slivered
almonds, toasted if you want
DressingWhisk together:
2 cups Miracle Whip salad dressing1 teaspoon sugar1/4 cup
evaporated milk2 tablespoons lemon juiceJuice from pineapple -- as
needed
Pour dressing over salad and toss gently. This would be nice
servedatop a lettuce leaf.
Diabetics can enjoy dinner rolls, too

A publication of
With just two legislativedays remaining in the 2015Regular
Session of the Ken-tucky General Assembly, thefate of several major
pieces oflegislation the House Major-itys efforts to shore up
theKentucky Teachers Retire-ment System (KTRS) andreduce heroin
addiction nowrest in the fate of conferencecommittees.
When it comes to illegaldrug use, few states havebeen hit as
hard as Kentuckyover the last 15 years. Its us-age has grown
dramatically,and not just in Kentucky. Ear-lier this month, the
U.S. Cen-ters for Disease Control andPrevention reported that
over-dose deaths attributed to thisdrug have gone up 400 per-cent
nationally between 2000and 2013. For the Midwest, therate was 1,100
percent.
During thesession, Houseand Senatemembers havebeen workingon
what we allhope will beanothergroundbreak-ing law. Lastweek when
weadjourned forthe veto peri-od, I was
named to the conference com-mittee who will be meeting tofinish
the job prior to ourconstitutionally mandateddeadline. The House
bill thatwe passed last week proposesmuch harsher penalties
forthose bringing heroin intoKentucky while expandingtreatment for
the addicts. Pastlessons have taught us that wecannot incarcerate
ourselves
out of this problem. The Ken-tucky Catholic Conferenceand
Texas-based researchgroup Right on Crime haveendorsed parts of our
heroineffort.
I have been an outspokenadvocate for the Good Samar-itan law and
a local-optionneedle exchange program thatallows counties to opt
out offor hardship reasons if neces-sary. Nearly two dozen
statesalready have this in place. Tohelp get these programs upand
running as soon as pos-sible, the House proposalrecommends shifting
$10 mil-lion in the current two-yearbudget to these new pro-grams.
We cannot afford towait until the next budgetcycle.
Were also nearing anagreement with the Senate onlegislation I
filed that would
expand the use of ignitioninterlocks for convicted DUIoffenders.
The measure wouldsupplement hardship licenses special licenses
allowingpeople with suspended li-censes to drive to work,school and
doctors appoint-ments with ignition inter-locks, a device about the
sizeof a mobile phone that iswired into the ignition systemof a
vehicle. In the 24 statesthat have adopted the inter-lock program,
deaths causedby drunken drivers have beenreduced by 30 percent.
Ac-cording to Mothers AgainstDrunk Driving (MADD), therewere 167
drunk driving deathsin Kentucky in the recentyear. Thats 50 lives
that couldhave been saved in one yearhad these provisions been
inplace.
Two other important pieces
of legislation are still possiblefor next weeks final two
days;these include stabilizing thestates highway funding
andstrengthen the long-term fu-ture for the Kentucky Teach-ers
Retirement System.
And finally, the House andSenate both passed the Breed-ers Cup
tax incentive HB 134that I sponsored and will besigned by the
gvernor thisweek. This legislation is im-portant because of the
signifi-cant, multi-million dollar eco-nomic impact on
tourism-related activities that comefrom hosting the BreedersCup in
Kentucky. The Breed-ers Cup will return to Ken-tucky for the first
time since2011.

CIVIC INVOLVEMENT
Most of us have probablyexperienced a sense of aggrava-tion when
we go to a store orrestaurant and see people whoappear to be
specimens of goodhealth parking in the handicap
spots close tothe store orrestaurant.
Some ofthose individ-uals are nothandicappedand do nothave a
handi-cap sticker orthey may beabusing the useof the stickerthat
belongs tosomeone else.
Perhaps you have been temptedto park in a handicap spot.
TheKentucky General Assemblyhas addressed this problem andit may be
helpful to review thesubstantial penalties that can beimposed for a
violation of thehandicap parking laws.
The fine for parking illegallyin a parking space designatedfor
those with disabilities is 10times more than it used to be.The fine
is now $250 per occur-rence. When you add in the newtraffic court
cost, a defendant islooking at total fines of approxi-mately $400.
Those are certain-ly substantial penalties thatshould make people
think twice.
The handicap parking lawsstate that 90 percent of thefines
collected are forwarded tothe states Personal Care Assis-tance
Program. The remaining
10 percent is distributed equallyamong all local law
enforce-ment agencies in the county. .
Handicapped parking per-mits can be obtained on a tem-porary or
permanent basis. Toobtain a temporary handicapparking permit, an
applicationform needs to be filed at thecounty clerks office for
aninitial three-month periodwhich can be renewed for anadditional
three months. Proofof the disability must be provid-ed through a
statement from alicensed physician that theapplicant is a person
whosemobility, flexibility, coordina-tion, respiration, or
perceptive-ness is significantly reduced bya temporary disability.
Uponsubmitting an application andproof of permanent disability,
apermanent handicap parkingpermit can also be obtainedfrom the
county clerk.
The disability placard mustbe placed so that it can beviewed
from the front or rearof the vehicle, preferably byhanging on the
rearview mirror.It is illegal to display a placardwhen the person
with the dis-ability is not in the vehicle.

MARCH 19, 2015 ALEXANDRIA RECORDER B1
MAYSVILLE, Ky. Aric Rus-sell was touting the depth of
hisCampbell County boys basket-ball team after its semifinal
winover Pendleton County.
The Camels head coach ravedabout it a day later on March 10when
the Camels two leadingscorers, Dre Jackson and MattWilson, sat the
last four minutesof the second quarter with foultrouble. And that
depth camethrough, propelling the Camelsto a 14-3 run to close the
first halfand lift Campbell to an 89-57 winover district rival
Scott in the 10thRegion final at Mason County.
I always thought when I tookover five years ago that thiswould
be the year we had achance, Russell said. Last yearwas kind of a
surprise: We cameout and had an unbelievable tour-nament. This year
I felt we couldwin it. Weve been ready. Wevebeen working all year
to getready for tournament time andIm really proud of our kids.
The Camels (25-9) repeat as
regional champions.It feels amazing, said Jack-
son, who had 21 points. Werenot satisfied. We want to go downto
Rupp and make some noise.We have some experience nowso when we go
there it wont beanything new.
Jackson, Campbells seniorguard, had 13 points in the firsthalf
as the Camels built a 30-23lead. It was a half that had al-
ready featured several runs. TheCamels quickly sprinted out to
a9-0 lead three minutes into thegame. Scott tied the game at 16late
in the first period, then theCamels struck back with a 12-2spurt to
lead at 28-18.
The Eagles put together amini-run at 5-2 and trailed 30-23when
Jackson was called for acharging foul with less than fourminutes to
play in the second
quarter, his third foul. Matt Wil-son, Campbells 6-foot-8
juniorcenter, was already on the benchwith two fouls.
The Eagles couldnt converton offense on their next trip,
andsenior Blake Losey respondedwith a 3-pointer for the Camels
tomake the lead 33-23. The runcontinued until Campbell held
a20-point lead at 44-24. Anotherthree by Losey and one by
senior
Jordan Day punctuated the run,and Jake Franzen and CraigNeltner
scored key layups.
When I came out, I was frus-trated but I knew my team coulddo it
without me. Were a team,we play together and we play de-fense,
Jackson said. I wantedto set the tone and set the energy.Ihad a
pretty bad game last night(in the semis) and I wanted to setthe
energy for my team andforce them to guard me so Blakeand Matt would
be open allgame.
The spreading out of scoringcontinued in the third period.Cole
Hegyi scored consecutivebuckets to push the Camels totheir largest
lead at that point, 23(55-32), then Losey added twofree throws for
a 25-point mar-gin. Hegyi had eight points onthe night.
Hegyi, Day and Neltner com-bined for 20 points in 46 minutesoff
the bench.
All three of them have beenplaying big minutes for us in
thistournament I cant say enough
Camels win second regional basketball titleBy James

March 10.
See CAMELS, Page B2
LEXINGTON, Ky. In pastyears, Austin Myers was at leasta little
disappointed when hedidnt pin his opponent.
As he got closer to history,winning was the only thing
thatmattered, and the CampbellCounty High School senior didntmind
that his final high schoolmatch went the distance.
Myers beat Brandon Reed ofIroquois 15-4 in the KHSAA
statechampionship match at 220pounds March 11 at Alltech Are-na. He
finished 60-0 for the sea-son, winning his fourth state titleand
finishing undefeated for hisentire high-school career in
Ken-tucky.
I did my goal, four-time statechamp, he said. Its alwayswhat I
wanted to do since I was akid. Every kid wants to be a four-time
state champ.
Among his five wins in thetournament, Myers had two ex-tremely
quick wins of 12 andnine seconds. He pinned one op-ponent in the
second period. Hisquarterfinal foe was ranked sec-ond in the state
by KentuckyW-restling.com, and Myers shuthim out for a 16-0
technical falldecision.
In the finals against Reed, hisfoes main priority seemed to
beplaying defense and preventingMyers from getting him on hisback.
All four of his points camewhen Myers let him free for aone-point
escape, and Reed wasunable to try any offensivemoves on Myers.
Most people who wrestle me,they just want to try to make
itthrough the match, Myers said.
He was stalling a little bit, butIm used to it. He did a good
job.
Myers said he was enjoyinghimself during the tournament,and
during the meet he seemedto smile more often than themore
serious-minded competi-tors throughout the state.
You have to have fun with itor you really wont do it, he
said.Thats why kids sign up forwrestling, to have fun. As long
asyoure winning, youre havingfun. I knew I was getting closerto
achieving my dream.
Myers has a busy season com-ing up in the sport, with
threeseparate out-of-state competi-tions coming up in the
nextmonth. Next school year, he willattend West Virginia
University,part of a 12-member recruitingclass that is ranked fifth
in thenation, he said.
Myers will miss his time withthe Camels. Ill remember wewon the
team title my freshmanyear, he said. Every year hasbeen a great
year for our team.Its a dream come true. Ill al-ways remember my
teammates.We have a lot of fun.
The Camels finished fourth inthe team standings and had
fiveother state placers.
Two Campbell County wres-tlers started the night by fallingin
their state championshipmatches. Sophomore TannerYenter (51-10),
ranked fourth go-ing in, lost to top-ranked Saul Er-vin of Union
County (63-1) 5-2.Sophomore Brady Wells (44-6),also ranked fourth,
fell 14-5 totop-ranked Jorge Vega of FernCreek (54-1). Yenter
knocked offfoes ranked third and fifth earli-er in the day, and
Wells beat thethird-ranked wrestler in his
class, 5-0, in the semis. Eli Matthews finished fourth
at 182, falling in the semifinals inovertime. Bryan Spahr was
sev-enth at 138, winning three conso-lation bouts after losing in
thesecond round.
Dakota Lillie finished eighthat 120, winning four
consolationmatches after losing in the firstround.

TONY TRIBBLE FOR THE ENQUIRER
Northern Kentucky University coach Dave Bezold talkswith Tayler
Persons during the Norse basketball gameagainst West Virginia in
December.
This was the momentof redemption the Saintshad been craving for
365days.
Since Sydney Mosswent down with a knee in-jury in the first half
of the2014 sectional final, theThomas More Collegewomens basketball
teamhas dedicated itself toavenging that loss and ad-vancing to the
programsfirst final four. Theyearned that berth withtheir most
hard-foughtwin of the season, defeat-ing second-ranked St.Thomas
(30-1), 75-58.
Im proud of our play-ers, our alums, our fans--Im so happy for
every-body, said head coachJeff Hans. We have anew group this year.
Tosee them come togetherand be able to play theway we played in the
sec-ond half--Im proud ofthem.
This years Saints feltlike they were a team ofdestiny since the
offsea-
son. Their regular seasondominance has continuedinto the
postseason, but ithasnt always been easy.It certainly wasnt on
Sat-urday night.
The Saints trailed athalftime, 31-28. After hit-ting five of
their first sev-en shots, they missed 18 oftheir next 23 to close
outthe half. St. Thomas en-tered the game with thesecond-ranked
scoringdefense in the countryand held Thomas More to39.3 percent
shooting.Moss led the way with 10points at halftime, butstruggled
from the fieldand seemed to be dazedby an inadvertent hit tothe
face. She sat the final4:06 of the half, but cameout with renewed
energyin the second half.
I just hate losing,said Moss. Were all realcompetitive and we
havea lot of heart. We knewthat this was the time tostep up and
finishstrong.
She made her first shotof the second half, athree-pointer, and
the en-ergy in the sold-out Con-nor Convocation Centershifted
immediately. TheSaints dominated the sec-
ond half, and Moss fin-ished with a game-high 35points.
We feed off of whatshe does. We feed off ofher just as much as
shefeeds off of everybodyelse, said Hans. Thatwas just a big boost
of en-ergy, confidence, andwhat we needed to get go-ing. The whole
crowd gotinvolved and into it.
Theyre hungry. We ac-complished that goal ofgetting to the final
four.The next step in our proc-ess is to try to win a na-tional
championship.Were going to be hungry.Our two seniors and ourjuniors
who have beenthrough so much
The Saints again reliedon a deep supporting castto carry the
team whenMoss struggled early andto close the game out late.
Sam Cady added 10points, a night after foul-ing out scoreless.
NikkiKiernan added eightpoints and eight reboundsoff the bench.
StephanieKrusling snagged six bigrebounds and Olivia Hub-er
provided her usualspark of defensive inten-sity.
By winning the pro-
grams first sectionalchampionship, theseSaints have
cementedtheir place in ThomasMore history. They arefar from
satisfied, and re-main focused on theirmission to bring a nation-al
championship to Crest-view Hills.
In the midst of the cele-bration, 2014 graduateKatie Kitchen
emotional-ly embraced her closefriend and former team-mate
Wainscott.
Thats what its about,keeping that tradition andplaying for the
people be-fore you, said Wainscott.
Thomas More will faceTufts on Friday, March 20,at Calvin College
inGrand Rapids. They cutdown the nets followingtheir final home win
ofthe season. They were de-termined not to let anyother team cut
down thenets on their home court.
It feels really good. Tosee everybody with theirparents, to see
familieshugging, Im happy forthem, said Hans. It wascut short last
year whenwe lost. Now, we wereable to pull it out. Its anexciting
time for ThomasMore College.
THANKS TO THOMAS MORE ATHLETICS
