Neighbors seek to reclaim view and privacy When the Rosenberg family bought a house in 2013 on a hill rising from Route 9 in Philipstown, the views to the south and north were "1,000 percent blocked with trees," said Beth Rosenberg. To the south sat Cockburn Farms, which had been dormant for two decades. To the north was a single-family home at 201 Old West Point Road. "We didn't hear anything and didn't see anything," she said. Three years later, in 2016, Sean Barton and Joshua Maddocks bought and reopened Cockburn Farms to sell Christmas trees. Five years after that, Barton bought the home to the north, cut down trees and began operating, without town approval, a landscaping business. "I would have never bought the property if it was sandwiched between two commercial properties," said Mark Rosenberg. Now, some trees will be returning, courtesy of the Philipstown Planning Board, which is reviewing a request by Barton and his company, KPB Properties, to legalize its commercial use of 201 Old West Point Road. KPB wants to construct a 7,400-square-foot, two-story building with an office and storage for landscaping equipment and materials. It will have eight parking spaces and an access road from Route 9 that runs along the south side of the Garrison Garage. The residence will remain. A planting plan reviewed during a public hearing in February shows young trees along the front of the structure to screen it from Route 9 but no screening along the border with the Rosenberg property. "He absolutely needs to find not just one level of depth [of trees] but a couple of levels for Beth's side because that just seems like an unnecessary burden for a homeowner," said board Chair Neal Zuckerman. When the hearing continued March 20, project engineer Margaret McManus opened with a revised proposal reflecting changes based on the board's criticisms. Chief among them: Two rows of evergreens - up to 8 feet when planted, and as high as 50 feet when mature - to replace weathered stockade fencing. Between the hearings, Beth Rosenberg said she and Barton discussed her family's concerns while walking the property together. "Since we were able to talk, it ironed out some things," she said. "It's just the privacy." Both properties are in the Highway Commercial zone, which allows single-family homes to coexist with businesses ranging from art galleries and bed-and-breakfasts to light-industry, retail and service businesses. Cockburn Farms had not grown trees since the mid-1990s when Barton and Maddocks, both from Garrison, purchased the property. In 2018, KPB bought 201 and 203 Old West Point Road. According to Ron Gainer, the town's engineer, Barton moved his landscaping business to 201 Old West Point Road "without benefit of any permits or town approvals," resulting in multiple violations and a stop-work order. When Barton introduced the project to the Planning Board in January 2024, his appearance "had been mandated by the court," which required that he get a site plan approved by the board, said Gainer. Last month, Beth Rosenberg told the Planning Board that she and her husband and three children were sometimes awakened as early as 6 a.m. by the sounds of mowers and other equipment, along with workers yelling and playing music. Those concerns spurred a discussion this month about ways to mitigate the impact on the family, including adjusting operating hours. Barton told the board that when snowstorms occur, his employees arrive early to warm up the trucks and attach plows. Warming up a diesel truck can take up to 20 minutes, but "Route 9 traffic is louder than my trucks," he said. Beth Rosenberg said she understands that trucks need to idle but that the yelling and laughing from employees while they're getting set up is a problem. "I'm not trying to stop them from doing business," she said. "It's just being more cognizant of what you're doing at what hours."

High-prevalence antigens occur in greater than 99% of the population. Antibodies to high-prevalence antigens are rare and may be difficult to identify due to the lack of antigen-negative panel cells for these antigens. Examples of antibodies to high-prevalence antigens are: anti-k, anti-Kpb, anti-Jsb, and anti-Lub among many others There is a need to proper identify these antibodies before transfusion to differentiate clinically significant antibodies, that could cause hemolytic transfusion reactions or hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn from those with little or no clinical relevance. Their specific identification is often difficult, labor-intensive, and time-consuming and it may be difficult to find antigen-negative compatible blood for the patient in need of a transfusion Learn in this episode clues to recognize if an antibody to a high-prevalence antigen is present and how to apply practices for their identification in the lab and additional recommendations for patient management. About Our Speaker: Shane Grimsley, DipRCPath; holds a diplomate in Pathology from the Royal College of Pathologists, UK and has been working at the International Blood Group Reference Laboratory, NHSBT in the UK since 2009, as laboratory manager from 2015 and Senior Clinical Scientist since 2020.

Paul Casey: Change isn't cemented until it becomes part of the new routine and it's the leader's job to create the culture. Remember I led with that two sessions ago, a change of culture only happens through accountability, Speaker 2: Raising the water level of leadership in the Tri-Cities of Eastern Washington. It's the Tri-Cities influencer podcast. Welcome to the TCI podcast. We're local leadership and self-leadership expert Paul Casey interviews, local CEOs, entrepreneurs, and non-profit executives to hear how they lead themselves and their teams. So we can all benefit from their wisdom and experience. Here's your host, Paul Casey of growing forward services, coaching and equipping individuals and teams to spark breakthrough success. Paul Casey: It's a great data grow forward. Thanks for joining me for today's episode with Ken Hohenberg. He is the chief of police in Kennewick, and I asked him for a fun fact about him and he unequivocally said, I start on time. So Ken, you got a couple of instances of that where everyone around you knows that you start on time. Ken Hohenberg: Yeah. You know, it's just one of those things I've been tagged with over the last 18 years being, being the chief of police, here in Kennewick. But I related a story here recently about the fact that when we dedicated this building in 2008, May of 2008, my friend Andy Miller, that Ben county prosecutor was running late. And I'm sure it was legitimate for some court issue. And he was with Scott Johnson at the time who was his chief criminal deputy. And as they were hurrying trying to get to our building dedication down here at 211 West 6th, Andy had made the comment about, we need to hurry because the chief always starts on time and Scott's going, you know, Andy, these things never start on time. We're going to be fine. And anyway, they arrived late and we started on time. And, and since that time, I mean, whether I'm doing new officers swearing in whether it's entry or lateral police officers or promotion ceremonies, we always start on time. I just, I firmly believe that when you have people adjust their schedules that, you know, out of respect for other people, we started on time. So I'm kind of quirky about that. And I know I probably drive my wife nuts too, because I, I like to, I like to be on time and, and sometimes that's not as important to other people. Paul Casey: We often marry our opposites. So yes, I totally can relate. Ken Hohenberg: Well, she she's my better half and keeps me out of trouble in a lot of different areas. So I'm okay with that. Paul Casey: Oh, that's good stuff. Yeah. I've actually at a previous leadership position said, we're going to start with whoever's here. And one time I was in a leadership team meeting, I was the only one in the room. So I started and I said, I'd like to welcome you all here. And they all walked in one at a time and said, who are you talking to? I'm like, we agreed that we were going to start with whoever's here. And I was being ridiculous to make a point, but yes. Ken Hohenberg: Point well taken. Paul Casey: Well, we're going to dive in after checking in with our Tri-City influencer sponsor, take back your weekends and let Senske services be. Your green team. Senske services is a locally owned and operated company founded in 1947. That has been working with families for nearly 75 years to help create and maintain environments that are great places to live, work and play.

It is a must see every year services are backed by the Senske promise, which means the job will be done right. Or they come back out to learn more about the services Senske provides and the offers available to you visit Senske dot com. Paul Casey: Thank you for your support of leadership development in the Tri-Cities. Well welcome Ken. I was privileged to meet you. We were trying to come back when that was, but I know it at the least it was 2006, 2007 when I went through leadership Tri-Cities and you're always so gracious to speak on a law enforcement day and a law and justice day. And so appreciate you doing that for the community where we all get to meet you and get to see the, the new police station over there, which it was even before that, because he said it was oh eight. Right? So it was, so I got to meet you before that. I got the privilege of interviewing you at Columbia community church. When I did like a meet the leader, meet some co community leaders. So I was just chomping at the bit to get another chance to interview you. So thanks for being here today. Well, so that our Tri-City influencers can get to know you tell us a little bit more about the Kennewick police department and what do you spend most of your day doing? Ken Hohenberg: Also the Kennewick police department were authorized 108 commissioned police officers. And obviously we have support staff on top of that. And we're also very fortunate. We work with a lot of great federal partners. So including state partners as well, we have department of corrections, community corrections officers work out at the Kent police department along as well as CPS workers from DSHS. So it's a busy place around here and probably, you know, going back to your fundamental question about how I spend 80% of my day prior to COVID throw that in. And if, if you can't chuckle a little bit, the year and a half, that we've been through this, but you know, 80% of my day really is really engaged in interacting with people. And one of the reasons why I was attracted to policing to begin with, I, I like having flexibility in my schedule, but, you know, and I use the term. I love people because I really do love people. It's been rewarding to me. I just finished 43 years with the city Kennewick on July 17th, finished 18 years as the chief of police on July 1st. So, you know, I've had really what I would consider my dream job. I, I, I, I like to think that collectively the kind of what police department makes a difference in the community and little influence over that. And, but I get to work and interact with great people. Paul Casey: What's the average tenure. I'm just curious, have a chief of police. Ken Hohenberg: It's about five years. Really? Wow. Yeah, it is nationally. It's about five years. And, you know, even if you compare around locally on chiefs and sheriffs that we've had here locally, it's the tenure's longer than that. I'm like the fourth police chief and Kennewick 60 some years, it's a Lincoln was police chief for 24 years. And Bob Arkoff was police chief for 15. And Mark Harden was police chief for 10. And then I'm the second longest tenured police chief at 18. Paul Casey: Wow, great longevity, great longevity. There's so much more you can do when you're at a place for that kind of length and you can help create the culture even more. I'm sure you've been able to do that more so than other schools are coming God in five years or less. Ken Hohenberg: No, that's true. You know, I mean, it's hard to change a culture, even, even when you grow up in an organization, you know, what's good, you know, what's bad, but it's hard really, you know, when you start dealing with, you know, police departments that have 50 or more police officers, it's, it's a challenge to change the culture in less than five years. So I've been very, very blessed that I've been able to be in this position as long as I have, and even more blessed people haven't wanted me to leave. So Paul Casey: Yes, yes. And I hope you caught that Tri-City influencer listeners, that if you're trying to do a culture change, it's the long game, you know, if you've been there less than five years, you've probably inherited a lot of issues and just keep plugging and keeping faithful at your position. So Ken, who do you surround yourself with? I would say like on the inside, like who are you choosing to have in your inner circle or even the hires, you know, in the entire KPD and then outside your organization, who else do you like to hang out with because you know, that they're critical to your success? Ken Hohenberg: Well, that's a great question. And, you know, I've fed for years when, when I first was appointed chief back in 2003, I realized the most critical thing that we could do is who we hired to begin with. You know, if you look at what's going on, not only across the state, but nationally, the unfortunate thing for law enforcement agencies, we still have to hire from the human race. So human beings and human beings make mistakes, but so we really have to be tasked with finding truly the best of the best that understands the core values of public service, bringing their best to work every day. And that really was back in 2003, where a lot of agencies were trying to recruit and expand the opportunities for people to get hired by different law enforcement agencies. I actually increased our hiring standards and we have some challenges with personnel issues, especially the first seven, eight years that I was the police chief. Ken Hohenberg: I can tell you the last seven or eight years have been the best years that I've had being a relatively few complaints. Last year, I had less than a dozen complaints, a whole department, and over 500 compliments, I started tracking compliments well. And so those are people that will take the time and an email, a letter, something than just the word on the street, send it in something formal to the, to the department. But you know, really trying to surround myself with really talented, the A-plus students that you bring in in D and then certainly right hand in glove with who you hire, being the most important thing then right behind that is who you promote. So after you have people that you know, are tenured in an organization, you have an opportunity to watch them. I tell people, you know, the, the cool thing about pleasing as I hire leaders from day one. So most person in the door is a leader, or they're not going to be with the Kent police department. So then strategically when they enter into a formal leadership position, like a Sergeant or Lieutenant a commander, or the assistant chief, I'm really picking the best of the best at that time to continue moving the organization forward, people that understand the mission, but also have the people skills, the common sense to continue to facilitate that mission as well. Paul Casey: I love that that a complaint compliment ratio 12 to 500 Ken Hohenberg: That's, you know, and the funny thing of it is, you know, even when I hired on the department in 1978, we've always tracked our complaints. And, and I don't know why that I decided, but in oh three, after I was appointed chief, I thought, you know, if I'm going to hold officers and personnel accountable for mistakes or things, they do wrong, I'm also going to give them credit for the things they do. Right. And I was really surprised at the amount of compliments we generated, but those complaints went down over the years. Has I dealt with different discipline issues as well as increased hiring standards and really, really set the tone for what it was going to take to be a Kenwood police officer. Paul Casey: Yeah. It's a measurable, right. And it's, and it's something and what we measure, we, we tend to focus on. So I love how you, you decided to, to measure both of those things. And now you're seeing the fruit of that. How about outside the organization? Can, who do you, who makes you successful outside of KPD? Ken Hohenberg: You know, I was fortunate way back when my father-in-law who passed away in 1999, he told me a long time ago when I was young patrol one that you ever join a service organization, you have to join rotary. And I'm like, Hey, I didn't know anything about that. And I can tell you the Rotary club, they're all great service clubs. Yep. And when I was a captain in 1996, I was working with the tech skill center and I got asked to attend a rotary meeting. And I ended up joining Columbia center rotary. And I've been a Rotarian ever since 1996. And, you know, having people outside your normal business dealings outside that normal work group that you're in, I think is healthy. Not only mentally, but keeps you aligned with a more normal perspective, but I've really intentionally tried to align myself with people that have like values that I do. Ken Hohenberg: A lot of people know Dave Retter from Sotheby's, you know, Craig jerkies is a good friend of mine with sun Pacific energy. We worked together on the boys and girls club that we built here in east kennel, WIC. I've just been blessed over the years with a lot of good, good friends that have been supportive of me in this role as police chief, but supportive of me is can a horn bird for the person that I am all has like values when it comes to giving back to the community, really trying to make a difference in her community. Paul Casey: Yeah. So healthy. And I've heard such good things about rotary throughout the year. So how many clubs are there in the Tri-Cities? There's several aren't there. Ken Hohenberg: Yeah. There's six clubs in the price cities right now. And I'll tell ya. I, you know, I had speaking engagements at Kiwanis and a number of other civic organizations, and they're all great when people get engaged and involved Paul Casey: Yes. Service above self and what a great model too. So can leaders have growth mindsets? They don't have those fixed mindsets to say like, well, I was born this way, you know, or that's the way I am. And so how do you keep evolving as a leader 18 years in your current position what's in your own professional development plan? Ken Hohenberg: I think one of the things that have really helped me evolve over the years is it's probably a good thing, but it's also sometimes negative because I get involved in more, you know, over the years, I've just had an opportunity, whether it's been through our Washington association of sheriffs and police chiefs, I'm a past president of that. I currently serve as a board chair for the Washington auto theft prevention authority board. I'm the vice chairman of the Northwest Haida, which is a high intensity drug trafficking, which has a federal program comes to supporting our law enforcement agencies. So besides the, you know, the, the personal things that I am engaged in, I try to find opportunities for continued professional growth as well, because nobody knows at all. Paul Casey: Yep. Yeah. So good. It sounds like they're all, they're all sort of stretch assignments for yourself that you put yourself in other leadership positions to stretch you and add value in other areas. Ken Hohenberg: Well, and the benefit really comes back. Not to me directly, personally, but it's come back to benefit. Not only the kennel police department, but the other surrounding agencies, as well as our communities. Paul Casey: Yeah. So it boomerangs back on you when you serve. I love that. How do you go about getting things done? Can let, let's go a little like behind the curtain there and you're in your office. How do you organize yourself with so many things coming at you? Ken Hohenberg: You know, well, one of my commanders told me I was like a fighter pilot. He said, I don't know how you do it. You just, you fly by the seat of your pants, but you always come out on top. And I'm like, I don't know about that. I get over committed, you know, but, but the reality of it is, is, you know, you do have to have a way of prioritizing what is most important because there are so many things that are really important and it's like, people talk about priorities. If everything's a priority, then really nothing. And so, you know, in my day changes constantly, you know, when I get up in the morning and the first thing I do is I grab my phone and I look for any text messages from the on-duty commander that we have, you know, drive by shooting. Ken Hohenberg: If it's something really bad where somebody's been shot, I get a phone call in the middle of the night, but, or a police officer gets hurt. But it's one of those things that my date changes constantly. So it's hard sometimes for me to say the map out my roadmap for the day, or even for the week to say, this is what I plan on getting done, because sometimes my schedule changes that for me. And to be honest with you, that's one of the things that I love. And so maybe I was made to be a fighter pilot and I don't have any, I don't have any real deep wisdom that I can share on how I've been able to manage my schedule. Even my wife at times say, you know, you really should look at your calendar the morning, maybe the night before. And, but to me, my evening can be filled with something that I'm doing either professionally or, or what the family and you know, oh, you try to balance all of that with the time that you have, because you can't grow more time. Paul Casey: That's right. That's right. Well, before we head to our next question on how can it looks at the bigger picture, even in a career where there's so many crises that he must react to let's, let's do a quick shout out to our sponsor. Are you dreaming of a lush weed, free lawn? Have you heard what your neighbors are saying about their Senske lawn, a lush weed-free lawn in, within your reach? Don't just take it from us. Listen to what people in our community are saying about Senske services. L.E. of Kennewick said I've been a customer for several years and I can depend on Senske to take good care of my lawn. I always get a call before each treatment and a detailed report after Mildred w Kennewick said, the workers are always willing to satisfy the customers. And that says a lot. Thank you for everything. Since key services is a locally owned and operated company that has been in the business of lawn and tree care for nearly 75 years. This means nobody knows green lawns. Like Senske let Senske help you achieve the lawn of your dreams by visiting sinskey.com today to learn more. So is probably easy to get trapped and do reacting to crisis being in law enforcement. How do you as the head leader specifically step back and intentionally look at the bigger picture? Ken Hohenberg: Hmm. I think that's a great question as well. You know, I mean being strategic rather than being tactical right in the moment at the time. And I know it's, it's hard for me to give you some specific examples, but I know with my current command staff and I have a great bunch of leaders that I get to work with every day and assistant chief and four commanders and poodle lieutenants, and it's sometimes we'll be dealing with a situation and it's not that they're in the panic mode, but they think I'm going to react to it. And I have the least reaction out of everybody. And it's not because I'm not engaged or I don't care. It's I know how I react is probably going to dictate how others react as well. Yeah, well certainly in leasing where you're dealing with community issues and sometimes a crisis, the last thing that you need is for somebody to add to that crisis. Ken Hohenberg: And, you know, fortunately the longevity I'm sure has helped me over the years. I don't know that I was as methodical as I am today, you know, 40 years ago. But I can tell you that I really want to set the tone, not only for the command staff, but also for the rank and file. We're dealing with all of this police reform right now. And you've read and heard about issues where police are not going to respond to this type of call or that type of call. And I've had a lot of people ask me about that. And you know, my answer is it depends on the circumstances. No, I've never been a guy that's just black and white and say, you know, we do this and we don't do that because sometimes one set of circumstances will dictate one response versus another set of circumstances may dictate no response. Ken Hohenberg: But you know, once again, we have an obligation to the public for public safety. And I feel very strongly about that. And regardless of what challenges we're given, we're going to work within the guidelines of the law and we're still gonna deliver excellent public safety. That's what we're we do. Like a lot of other businesses, people don't have a choice where they go to get that service. So I want to be everything for everybody all the time, or as much as, and, you know, I work with really smart people that can figure that out. And that's the reason why I also feel very fortunate. We have three unions within the Kenwood police department at the management association, the police officer's benefit association, and then our professional staff are represented as well. And I've had one grievance in 18 years. Wow. Now, which is, which is huge. And that was moved to the city manager over a termination, moved to the city manager and the city manager upheld by position and the union wouldn't take it forward past, past that point. But all the communication to me is, is key. And also letting employees know that you truly do care about not only them personally, but about what they bring to the table and what they're doing molar here. Paul Casey: Well, so you would probably be an advocate for the way to avoid union conflicts is to care about your people probably have great communication with them. Any other tips for those that might be listening that are in a union environment? Ken Hohenberg: I I'll tell you. I I've been very fortunate. I was an interim fire chief for six months, and I had an opportunity to work with the fire union and my first meeting with them, I chose to have over lunch. I bought them all lunch. And it's amazing when you sit down over food and you're honest and open with people and you tell them what you can do and what you can't do work, you can get done. And we just, we had a fabulous, I think they were a little reluctant at first, but after our first meeting, they ask if we could continue those meetings. Wow. You wanted me to buy him lunch again, but great time. And I, I just always have strived, you know, relationship relationships are built on trust, which would be willing to get out of your office in order to build those Paul Casey: Here you're here. And if you get nothing out of this interview, Tri-City influencers lead with food leaders lead with food. Yes. Ken Hohenberg: There's a reason why people have broken over the years. Paul Casey: Yeah. There's something about the table, you know, that that develops trust and relationships. I don't know. Well, Ken, it's been a tough year for, for everyone and I'm sure for the police department, you've had to be responsive and strategic in an uncertain time. What key moves did you have to make? And I'm talking about both COVID and civil unrest, and you've alluded to a couple of those things already. What, what strategic moves did you have to make in the last year and a half? Ken Hohenberg: Well, you know, I'll take the protests because as you know, we had, we had protests in the Tri-Cities and in all three cities kind of what original inner Pascoe. We also had some challenges with people exercising their second amendment rights and growing up with semi-automatic weapons, protecting businesses. And you know, one of the things that I decided to do, and it's going to sound like a common theme here again, but I actually invited three different groups together to, to protesting. And one that was second amendment rights. And they were all somewhat in conflict with each other. And, and once again, I, I bought them pizza for lunch and they were, I was surprised. I mean, we had, our detectives had developed relationships with all three groups and everybody was passionate about what they were doing, but we have some really, really good dialogue in about just under three hours. Ken Hohenberg: And, you know, I know one of my commanders ended up picking up the pizza cause I wanted good pizzas. I didn't buy cheap pizza. And I bought the pizza, you know, you know, we got, we got phones, we can. And I said, no, I want to buy the pizza. I think there's, there's something you put your money where your mouth is, right? Yes. Strongly enough that there was enough conflict that could, I didn't want to see larger conflict. And at the end of our meeting, we actually ended up standing together at a news conference and the, the protest steers or not the protesters, but the, the people that were trying to defend some of the businesses where we weren't having issues, they decided that group ended up ultimately disbanding. So, well, I think there was some honest, effective communication that was done between those three groups. My role was really just facilitating. Ken Hohenberg: But once again, somebody has to have the, I don't know what you want to call it, the insight at least to try to bring people together so that they could hear each other. And I was, I, it was w I love human dynamics. I love watching people that are skeptical of each other, you know, after a period of time, actually be able to express their, their thoughts and people listen and not interrupt. And then at the end of the day, actually come together and shake hands. And it was pretty cool. And some lay people still have some very strong, powerful beliefs. Sure. And I can certainly respect that, but you know, a lot of these issues when I, when it comes to civil unrest, certainly when it's centered around policing, there are examples that have occurred. I had to Tri-Cities, they've occurred outside the state of Washington and they've occurred in other parts of the country. And, you know, I, if, if I do have a bias, I think that here in the trace cities, regardless of which police department it is, I think we provide a pretty good service here, here. We've heard Paul Casey: Listeners that Ken brings people together, whether it's in a union environment where it's in people with drastically different perspectives on an issue, or whether it's his own staff, bringing people together is the key so that people aren't stewing in their own little silos, wherever those are, they need a place to engage in constructive dialogue. And, and Ken kudos to you for doing that. How about, how about the COVID pandemic and how did that affect the police department? Ken Hohenberg: So, you know, once again, leaf and fire, you know, you don't really have a choice or, you know, if you end up having to get physical and connect with people, and also, you know, I serve as deputy city manager to remotely our city manager and have for the last eight, nine years. And that was really a city wide strategy of trying to make sure not only our city leadership, white team stayed healthy, but also really focusing in on our own departments as well. And we've been very successful, I think, through these virtual meetings, even though that's all I've been doing today, that's Paul Casey: Yes. Ken Hohenberg: But I think, you know, thanks to our elected officials in the city of Kennewick have been so, so supportive of public safety. And I think it's hard, especially for elected officials not to meet in person because they don't get a chance to, you know, up close and personal to their constituents. Right. But they've also realized the value of making sure we keep our employees safe so we can continue to provide over 300 different services that we do to our community through all the different departments in the city. But it has been a challenge. I mean, it's been a challenge for us when it community events being able to interact with in our schools when we were doing remote learning, obviously we have dare program and Kennebec or school resource officers. It limits those opportunities. We went through not having a waterfall is 4th of July. Those are all big summertime functions that bring families together and certainly brings communities together as well. So fortunately, we're, we've seen more opening up, but we're still watching those COVID numbers. And probably while we're doing this virtual meeting as well, so Paul Casey: True. True. Well, finally, chief, what advice would you give to new leaders or anyone who wants to keep growing or keep gaining their influence? Ken Hohenberg: Gosh, that's a, that's a tough question because, you know, I mean, for me personally, I have a, sometimes I have a hard time with people will say, well, you know, you, you've been such a great leader in the police department. Are you such a great community leader? And, you know, I have a hard time taking that title leader to begin with because somebody times you need to know when to be a good follower. Yeah, no, I think it's like I tell new sergeants when they get promoted inside the police department as formal leadership position, you have for far more power with your personal power, you know, Ken Hohenberg than I do with my positional power as chief of police, most of you know that I'm going to retire and into February of next year and people say, well, aren't you going to miss that position? Ken Hohenberg: Wow. You know, I love having the opportunity to serve as the Kenwood police chief and I've enjoyed every day. And when I walk out the door, am I going to miss it? Sure though, it's going to be times that I'm going to miss it, but it doesn't define who I am. I, I hope that I've defined that position somewhat. And so I guess one of the things I would tell people is, you know, never forget where you came from. Certainly always be willing to do the work yourself, people that do things that you wouldn't be willing to do yourself. Sometimes I think people forget that and you know, you never arrive someplace and you're there. I think, I think as a person, whether it's in an organization or in the community, I think you have to strive every day to make it better. And, and if you quit, you have any quit. You haven't just quit for yourself, but you've, you've quit for a whole host of other people that rely. And whether it's in a family situation, a business situation or community situation. Paul Casey: Yep. Well, good stuff. And I like, I, you led that answer with, you know, we have to, we need a class on followership, not just leadership, really. So that's, that's the leading yourself first, before you even get put into a position of leadership, good stuff. Well can, how can our listeners best connect with you? They wanted to give one of those compliments to the KPB. Ken Hohenberg: There's a, you know, there's a variety of way to connect with us, whether it's on Facebook or if you call down to, we have a police administration line at five, eight to 1305 8 2 1 3 0 0. We have a website that you can connect that way. If you called the police administration number, my assistant can get you connected. And I just, you know, one of the things I think that I am very proud of is over the years is we try to be everything to everybody all the time, because we truly do value. Not only what happens here in Kennewick, but also with our partners in our neighboring jurisdictions. We're just blessed to live in a, in a great supportive community that no matter what the national narrative may be, we still have great community support here in the Tracy. Thank you. Paul Casey: Well, thanks again, Ken, for all you do to make the Tri-Cities a great place and keep leading. Well, thank Ken Hohenberg: You. Paul Casey: Let me wrap up our podcast today with a leadership resource to recommend. I love a good assessment and I got a whole bucket full of them. Here's one on multiple intelligences. We're all smart in a different way. And there's ones like interpersonal or interrupt personal or a musical rhythmic or a spatial or kinesthetic. We're all smart in different ways. If you want to learn how you are smart, especially if you're feeling down on yourself like, oh, I don't know what strengths I have. You can take a multiple intelligence test at personality, maxx.com, personality max.com/multiple intelligences test. And again, it'll sort of pick you up and say, this is how I need to lead when I'm in leadership. Again, this is Paul Casey. I want to thank my guests, Ken Hohenberg from the Kennewick police department for being here today on the Tri-City influencer podcast. And we also want to thank our sponsor and help you invite you to support them because we appreciate you making this possible. So we can collaborate to inspire leaders in our community. Finally, one more leadership tidbit for the road to help you make a difference in your circle of influence. It is Seth Godin. He said the secret to leadership is simple. Do what you believe in paint a picture of the future. Go there and people will follow until next time. Kgs keep growing forward. Speaker 2: Thank you to our listeners for tuning in to today's show.

Season 2 kicks off with a fierce female leader in honor of Women's History Month! Join the former President of Auntie Anne's, Heather Leed Neary, on her new adventure as the EVP and General Manager at KBP Investments. KPB is a leading restaurant franchise group that operates many worldwide restaurants, including KFC and Taco Bell. Heather is overseeing the Taco Bell portfolio -- KBP Bells. After serving as the President of Auntie Anne’s for five years, Heather decided it was time for a new challenge. Hear how she moved on gracefully, taking time for herself, before KBP created a new role for her at the company. Episode HighlightsOpening Lobbies & the Importance of the In-Store Experience - The Taco Bell lobbies were closed for the past year and one of the first things Heather tackled is opening up lobbies again. And guests are more than ready! “Bringing back those small nuggets of joy, I think are really important.”The dynamic between the marketers and the operators is a significant challenge in the restaurant business. The secret to a successful collaboration between these two departments is to pair them together. They need to understand each other's side of the business to be able to work together. "Helping both sides of the fence understand what drives the other is what is the key to our success."Dynamics between franchisor and franchisee - Hear how Heather views the different roles and perspectives and how she's making the transition from Franchisor to Franchisee side of the business. Challenges to tackle after the pandemic - “The one big challenge for us is labor. It’s a common issue across the country. Minimum wage is a concern from a cost perspective, but we also want to make sure that we’re always doing the right thing for our crew members. Setting a goal but then also being vocal about it is the key to success. Heather shares a few practical tips for young women in the industry trying to work their way to executive positions. She says goal setting played an essential role in her business journey. "I remember my first month at Auntie Anne's; I was sitting down with my boss, who was the CMO at the time. And she said to me, 'Where do you see yourself in five years?' And I said, 'In your seat.' Find a tribe to help you improve. “There are things that I need to work on all the time, but I think being willing to continuously improve and continuously learn are strong reasons to continue to grow in your career. Finding mentors is important. Find multiple mentors because each mentor brings something a little bit different to the table based on their own experiences.” Resources:KBP InvestmentsHeather on LinkedIn

We are excited to be joined by Sacramento area native and Philadelphia Phillies Catcher Andrew Knapp on the KPB Podcast for this fun episode. A former standout for the California Golden Bears, Knapp quickly rose through the minor league ranks, making his Big League debut on April 6, 2017. Knapp comes from a baseball family as his father Mike played 10 years of professional baseball and his younger brother, Aaron, is currently playing in the minors. This will be Knapp’s fourth season with the Phillies, and he comes back to Philadelphia after a strong second half where he hit .271 with a .346 OBP. More importantly, he is one of the truly good guys in baseball. Knapp has been a huge supporter of KPB and uses his platform to give back and do good for his communities. In addition to talking about his path to the Big Leagues, we talk about his time in college, his routines and preparation, as well as some light-hearted questions like, what would you change if you were commissioner? And, what three teammates would you bring with you if you were stuck on a deserted island? You won't want to miss this great conversation, which comes with yelling children in the background (podcasting is hard when quarantining with kids!) and plenty of gems to get you better! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/keep-playing-baseball/support
Daily KPB This is the podcast version of the written article by the same title on the KPB website. Many college players that we talk to reflect back on campus visits as one of their best memories of the recruiting process. Think of it like the MTV Cribs of college baseball. Coaches open up the doors and peel back the curtains to their program and provide you with an opportunity to see what your life could look like if you end up at their program. Campus visits are a two-way interview. You have the opportunity to ask questions and evaluate whether the program is a fit for you and coaches have an opportunity to get to know you better and evaluate if you are a fit for their program. When done correctly, the visit should allow you the chance to get all the information that you need from coaches to make an educated decision on program fit. If the sound of getting to explore your college baseball opportunities in person doesn’t excite you, you may want to evaluate whether college baseball is right for you. While campus visits should be fun and informative, they are also a big stepping stone in the recruiting process. We’ve lived through and heard plenty of stories of campus visits that go poorly. There’s nothing wrong with getting to campus and realizing that a school isn’t a fit for you, in fact that’s great! You don’t, however, want to ruin your chances with a school that interests you because of silly mistakes. In order to help you avoid making preventable mistakes, here’s a list of 7 ways that campus visits often go wrong and advice for not letting that happen to you. After listening to this and our How to Ace a Campus Visit article, you’ll be prepared to dominate your time on campus and can focus on just being the best version of yourself! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/keep-playing-baseball/support

We preview major coaching and player changes in the upcoming Serie A season. Top 4 &Capocannoniere predictions. Balotelli's return to Brescia, Ribery & KPB at Fiorentina. Serie A game of the weekend.
Daily KPB This podcast corresponds to the Emotional 101 article on the KPB website. “The ballplayer who loses his head, who can’t keep his cool, is worse than no ballplayer at all.” –Lou Gehrig There’s no debating that the way baseball is being played is changing. The game is slowly starting to embrace a more modern flair. Bat flips and celebrations that would have cost a beaning in past generations are becoming the norm. Still, many college coaches debate the outward displays of emotion that they see. Sure, it’s a new generation, but how much bat flip is too much bat flip? How much emotion can a player display before it becomes a side show? Since we know college coaches are spending a lot of time evaluating the body language and behavior of recruits, we take a look at some of the emotionally-charged situations college coaches see on the recruiting trail and how they help or hurt a recruit’s chances of being recruited. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/keep-playing-baseball/support

Daily KPB You can find the written version of this podcast content here. **** We know better than anyone that the recruiting process can seem like a daunting task. If you don’t know what to do, it can be confusing and frustrating. In a KPB survey of high school baseball players, 59% said a major concern about playing at the next level was not knowing what to do to get recruited. These same sentiments are echoed every time we talk to a group of high school baseball players in person. In the recruiting process, like many other things, knowledge is power. There is no substitute for understanding what it takes to play college baseball and knowing the ins and outs of the recruiting process. That’s what will give you the best chance to find a college baseball fit, and that’s why Keep Playing Baseball exists! We give you the information and resources you need to make it to college baseball and we provide it 100% free. Even with the information we provide, there are no shortcuts. You still have to put in the time and effort to take charge of your recruitment and create a personal plan. During recruitment, you are likely to have many other people offering advice on what you should do. While many people truly just want to help, you also have to be careful for companies and individuals who say they want to help, but are really just after your money. Unfortunately, there are people who try to cash in on players who don’t know what to do and parents who are willing to do everything they can to provide their kids with the opportunity to reach the next level. It's important for you to find people who are offering advice for no other reason than to help you find a college baseball fit. Finding people to help you for the right reasons isn’t as difficult as you think. We’ve come up with 3 ways to ensure people are helping you for the right reasons.

Daily KPB This podcast covers the content in the written article of the same title that will post to the KPB website on 6/19. In this episode, we explore 7 important questions to ask college coaches during the recruiting process, the appropriate time to ask the questions, and why it's important you get that information. Listen in on why it's important to ask: 1. Where do I stand among your current recruits and what do you need to see from me to move up on your list? 2. How do you see me fitting into your program’s future plans? How do you plan to help develop me into a better player? 3. What changes or adjustments would you like to see me make to my game to have success at your level? 4. How would you describe your hitting/pitching philosophy? How do you train that on a daily basis? 5. How would you describe the relationship you have with the current players on the team? 6. What do I have to do academically (grades and test scores) to make sure that I get admitted to school? 7. I’ve heard that decommitments happen and I want to make sure that we are on the same page about what this commitment means. I will obviously stop pursuing other schools, but what does this commitment assure me of from your end and under what circumstances would you pull the offer or commitment? --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/keep-playing-baseball/support
In this Daily KPB, we set the stage for the upcoming summer recruiting articles that center around Alex, a fictional recruit we use to tell real like recruiting lessons. You may not realize it, but everything you do around the baseball field, from the way that you wear your uniform to the way you run out a ground ball, is being watched by college recruiters who come to see you play. In the next few weeks, we want to tell you about common mistakes that can get you crossed off recruiters’ lists. While some of the things we tell you about may seem very picky, keep in mind that coaches normally only get to see you play for a short time. Coaches and recruiters will formulate their ideas about you as a player based on everything they see you do, and these judgments are often made quickly. If you are lucky, coaches will get to see you play multiple games. That way, they can see your ability as a player and what kind of teammate you are. But, most recruiters will watch you play one game, maybe only one at bat, one play in the field, or one inning of pitching to determine whether or not to see you more. In that moment, will you be doing something that will make recruiters want to come back to see you or something that will get you crossed off the list? Fair or not, everything you do is magnified and recruiters will make quick decisions based on what they see. Everything you do matters! We’ve made up a story to help you see what we mean. It follows Alex, a recruit just like you: Alex is a good high school baseball player. He found the KPB website early in high school and learned about what he needs to do to play college baseball. He studies hard and his grades are good. He makes a video and sends it out to schools. He receives several letters of interest from coaches who saw the video. He also goes to a local showcase at the end of his junior year where a lot of college coaches are present. He performs well at the showcase and hears from several more interested colleges. It is now the summer after his junior year and his summer team is going to a big national tournament. On his way to the tournament, he stops for a few unofficial visits and is shown around college campuses by the coaches. John is a college recruiting coordinator. He spends his summers recruiting and he attends many showcases and tournaments. Early in the summer, he goes to a showcase where he sees Alex and a number of other prospects. He gets in touch with Alex and 6 other players and he arranges for them to visit his school on their way to the national tournament. John is also going to the national tournament to see 25 potential recruits at the same event and he is sure to pick up more names as he watches the games. The event is hectic and takes place at several different high schools and baseball complexes. He tries to see as many of the players on his list as possible, and because of scheduling conflicts and priority players, he is only able to watch 5 innings of Alex’s game before having to leave to see a pitcher who is scheduled to throw. He gets to Alex’s game a little early and has time to watch him warm-up and interact with his teammates. Without even knowing it, Alex is on John’s shortlist of potential players for his team. Alex isn’t aware, but he and 4 other infielders are being considered for one scholarship. Alex’s chances for the scholarship depend on what he does during the 5 innings that John sees him play. During these 5 innings, Alex can help, hurt, or ruin his chances of earning the scholarship to play college baseball. During the summer, we will return to this story and talk about the little things that Alex does that help or hurt his chances. We hope that you’ll learn from Alex’s mistakes and use the lessons to help you successfully navigate the recruiting process. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/keep-playing-baseball/support

Kimberly Patton-Bragg, or KPB to most, is a creative and lively force in the cocktail scene. From days in New York acting, to a pursuit for the silver screen, her life has been anything but boring. KPB is an aspiring writer and Tiki fanatic who shares delicious drams in New Orleans. What does this incredible journey and life look like on the page however? We chat Duran Duran, Ted Bundy, Rum, and more...
Welcome Back Faithful Listeners! To most out there, our guest this week needs no introduction. To everyone else, allow me to introduce the one and only Kimberly Patton-Bragg. Kim has been a fixture of the New Orleans cocktail scene for years. She was the first President of the USBG Chapter here in NOLA and has run several prominent bar programs throughout the city. KPB (as us cool kids like to call her) is a naturally hospitable person. It's no wonder that she chose to pursue her passion for bartending over a career in stand up comedy and acting. It's clear, though, that her training for the stage makes her a unique and unforgetable barkeep. Besides her accolades, one of the things that I love most about Kim is her desire to mentor and teach others. She has trained a multitude of folks the craft of bartending. Many of us (yes, I too am included here) have taken the knowledge that she imparted to develop our own unique careers. She cusses like a sailor, loves to drink bourbon, is pretty handy with a rapier, and is one truly special individual. We had a blast getting the chance to get to know her better in this episode, and hope y'all enjoy! Cheers! Steve
