NKU students cause stir with 'Rocky Horror' promo at Fort Thomas church

"I would like, if I may, to take you on a strange journey"... to Fort Thomas. That's where church officials asked university students to remove "inappropriate" images taken outside the Saint Thomas Parish ahead of an annual production of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," a 1975 film famous for its challenging depictions of sexuality and gender. Students from Northern Kentucky University posed "in various stages of undress" on the steps of Saint Thomas Parish without its knowledge or permission, according to an Oct. 30 statement from the church. "Saint Thomas is a sacred place of worship," Rev. Ross Kelsch said in the statement, "and we expect our church and its grounds to be treated with dignity and respect." The photos were taken down after Northern Kentucky University President Cady Short-Thompson apologized to the church, according to a university statement. "Our focus is on using this as a teachable moment about respecting community spaces," the university wrote.

Different days off for Fayette and Jessamine schools ‘play havoc' with families

Some families who have children attending schools in both Jessamine and adjoining Fayette County tell Jessamine School Board Chair Steven Scrivner that the districts having different days off “does play havoc.” So on Friday morning, Scrivner sent an email to his counterparts in Fayette County to see if the two districts can better align their fall and spring breaks and other days off going forward. “Many of our teachers and staff live in one county and work in the other. A number of families have children in both districts and youth sports draw from both communities. When our breaks fall on different weeks, those families end up arranging childcare and time off twice, and teams lose players for practices and games,” he said. Scrivner told the Herald-Leader that Jessamine County takes out-of-district students. If a family moves from Fayette to Jessamine County and has a high school student who wants to finish up at Fayette’s Paul Laurence Dunbar, their younger child might be newly enrolled in a Jessamine County middle school. He asked if leaders from the two districts could meet. By Friday afternoon, Fayette school board chairman Tyler Murphy had a response: “I spoke with our Interim Superintendent (Bill

Recapping week 12 Greater Cincinnati high school football action

The Ohio high school football regional quarterfinals are complete, while Kentucky's playoffs began this week. Across Greater Cincinnati, there were surprising results, close games and upset. Here's a look at how some of the action unfolded, as well as a short preview of week 13. Moeller, Princeton set for 'King of the Block' rematch When the postseason rolls around, the Crusaders turn to their defense. In a 24-7 win over Winton Woods, they didn't give up a run-play first down until the second quarter and only gave up two big gains in the first half: a 33-yard touchdown pass to Quinton Simms and a 46-yard completion to Greg Lawrence. "We have a name for our defense, we have a swagger to our defense. When it gets cold and it's playoff time, run games travel, defenses travel and those are the kind of games that we want to play in," Moeller head coach Bert Bathiany said. Moeller got out to a 14-0 lead before the Warriors could muster any real offense. Sophomore tight end Jayden Davis's 53-yard screen pass set up a Juice Glover-Brown score. In the second half, Davis caught his own seven-yard touchdown. "He's this year's version of Cooper
