Horse shows central to fair traditions By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com
Horse shows are no afterthought at the Alexandria Fairgrounds, where the 265 horse stalls are usually booked well in advance of the fair. The 153rd Alexandria Fair & Horse Show (Sept. 2-7) features show horses in divisions and breeds as diverse as Hackney’s, quarter horses, draft horse and mini-horses, said Doug Carmack, president of the fair board, and director of the horse shows. Horse owners come from as far away as Georgia, West Virginia and Tennessee to show, Carmack said. “I have a wait on a stall list,” he said. “We’ve always been known as a great horse show. If you want to show in front of people you need to show in Alexandria.” Terry Griesinger of Grant’s Lick is the third generation of his family to train American Saddle Bred and Hackney horses and to compete at the fair. Griesinger said he started competing at the fair when he was 6 years old. This year his two-and-ahalf-year-old son Dylan will compete compete in the adult-guided, lead-line pony division. “So, he’ll be the fourth generation,” Griesinger said of his son. Griesinger said he usually keeps about 12 to 15 horses in training, and takes them to shows all season long. “These show horses are a lot like athletes, the more you put into them the more you get out of them,” Griesinger said. “They have to be worked every day.” He also runs his own stud operation at his stable and brings babies to the Alexandria Fair’s baby horse show. “They’re not sold at the show, but if you have a really good one people will see it and call you later,” Griesinger said. Brittany Carmack, 21, daughter of Doug Carmack, will show four
Historic carriages, too
Horse carriage shows have become popular at the Alexandria Fair & Horse Show since they were added about eight years ago, said Doug Carmack, president of the fair board. Charlie Poppe, who operates a horse carriage museum in Anderson Township, organizes many of the carriage owners for the fair, and plans to bring several historic carriages this year. Poppe is planning to bring and show a carriage built for the country’s 1876 Centennial in Philadelphia that was purchased by President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s mother. “It was used in Roosevelt’s inauguration during the war because they were rationing gas,” Poppe said. Poppe is also planning to bring a Stanhope gig-style carriage, a twowheeled vehicle, that was built and owned by Alfred Vanderbilt, and a wicker-seated surrey carriage used in the Victorian Age. Poppe is only one carriage exhibitor and the fair is expecting around 40 different carriages this year, Carmack said. different breeds of horses at the fair incluing an Arabian, quarter horse, a standard-bred, and a Hackney road pony. Brittany started showing when she was 4 years old in the lead-line competition. “I had a little pony and my mom would lead me in, and they just judge you on your appearance,” she said. The hardest part about competing with four different breeds of horses is transitioning from one style of riding to another. Some breeds are very hyper, and other breeds have their own problems to work through, Brittany said. Brittany said she sometimes even gets bucked from horse. “Two fairs ago it happened twice to me at the fair, but that’s just part of it,” she said. Brittany said she just gets back up. “You’ve got to,” she said.

Dylan Griesinger, 21⁄2 years old, of Grant’s Lick will participate in his first horse showing at the Alexandria Fair and Horse Show this year with Silver Salute, his 9-year-old miniature horse, in the lead-line competition where his parents will guide him in walking the horse.

Neighborhood policing receives kudos By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com
The Alexandria Police Department’s delving into a neighborhood-focused approach to policing in January has helped earn a positive review from a state community policing assessment team. The assessment team, representing the Kentucky Regional Community Policing Institute, interviewed 150 people in February who live or do business in Alexandria in addition to reviewing the department’s staff and procedures. According to the top findings in the assessment team’s report, “The most promising change made to date in the Alexandria department is the implementation of the geofocus program. This (is) where each police officer is assigned a specific geographic area of the city and is held responsible for crime, crime prevention, quality of life
Navigate your way to the right car for you.
Police advisory board
One recommendation of the Kentucky Regional Community Policing Institute’s 112-page report on the Alexandria Police Department was the creation of a citizen police advisory board. Alexandria Police Department Chief of Police Mike Ward said he was pleased with the assessment team’s report, and that he’s hoping to start an advisory board made up of a cross-section of the community, but not existing government leaders to give their input on what the priorities should be for the department outside of the sphere of any political influence. issues and other police related responses.” The assessment team’s full 112page report is available at the city’s Web site on the police department’s section at www.www.alexandriaky.org. Alexandria Chief of Police Mike Ward said the geo-focus program, first tested by the Fort Thomas Police Department, will continue to be the major emphasis of the department. “I think it’s worked very well,” Ward said. “It’s trying to solve problems before problems crop up.”
Cold Spring Police Department Chief Ed Burk has also said in a recent quarterly department report to council that he plans to implement geo-focus policing in the department in a few months. Ward said officers have been assigned sectors of the city to be the point person to be in contact with residents and business owners. Geo-focus forces the officers to look at problems when that problem may not be happening at the moment, he said. For example, if someone has a
problem with a neighbor and they call the police, tempers are hot, but not much is always accomplished. With the geo-focus policing, the point is talking to people when the problem is not happening. “The point is to get in there and be an intermediary and try to prevent the problems from reoccurring, that’s what we’re trying to do,” Ward said. Another example would be talking a neighborhood watch meeting and finding out that thefts and people not locking their cars is not what people perceive as the biggest issue. Maybe instead, residents see the biggest problem is youth loitering at all hours of the night. If the police can try to solve issues surrounding that including rowdiness, then other problems will often go away as well, Ward said. “We want to cooperate and be proactive with that neighborhood,” he said.

Church joins charity’s autism fight By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com
Children at Plum Creek Christian Church in Butler are helping a Kentucky charity get a bead on autism fundraising. Children in church’s Aug. 5-7 Vacation Bible School made about 80 beaded bracelets for the Michala Riggle Beat Autism Foundation’s Beading to Beat Autism Project, said Jared Perkins, associate minister of children. The Beat Autism Foundation was launched by Riggle of Louisville in June of 20007
when she was 10 years old to raise money for an autism study at Kosair Children’s Hospital, raising $300,000 in six months. Now the foundation’s goal is to eventually raise $300 million to fund a state-of-the art autism research center at Kosair for use by people throughout Kentucky. Perkins said he’s had the opportunity to meet Riggle, now 12, and he was impressed by how her story shows that young people are capable of doing some amazing things. “I think her story is inspir-

Plus, autism is something that affects everyone, and most people know someone with autism through family, neighbors, friends or other
connections, Perkins said. “And we have some people at our church who have children with autism, so that’s important to us,� he said. The church has already planned more bead-bracelet making and selling including a bead-making booth at the Aug. 22 Family Fun Night at the Alexandria Shopping Center. The event is an autism fundraiser sponsored by the church and City Brew Coffee that includes games, food and a free outdoor movie. The church is also planning a bead-bracelet making program at the church around Christmas too, Perkins said.
Autism benefit The Saturday, Aug. 22 Family Fun Night at the Alexandria Shopping Center, is also a benefit for autism. The event will be from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. with music and a disc jockey from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., and a free showing of the movie “Monsters Inc.� starting at dusk. There will be games including cornhole, a giant slide, bead bracelet making for autism, and refreshments will be sold including hot dogs, pizza by the slice, popcorn and drinks. No coolers are allowed, but bring a lawn chair or blanket. The bead bracelets will be sold by the church for $3 each with the proceeds being sent to the foundation, and if they can’t sell all the bracelets they’ll be sent to the foundation so they can sell them, he said. Riggle’s fight and her story is a good example for the church to use to help teach the lesson of the importance of service whether during the week of Vacation
Bible School or any other time, Perkins said. “That’s what we were trying to make them understand, that that’s what a follower of Jesus does, he said.

Road, a 2.4-mile stretch of highway, is being funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, otherwise known as the federal stimulus. The $26.5 million project was awarded to the low bidder for the contract, Eaton Asphalt Paving Co., of Covington. Initial construction will be on the westbound side of U.S. 27. Once finished, the road will be a four-lane divided highway with turning lanes in some places. It will include improvements to the intersection with Clay Ridge Road in Grant’s Lick and the construction of a new bridge over Phillips Creek that is near the intersection. The project will also improve the intersection with Ky. 154, also known as Peach Grove Road. “The project, when com-
pleted, will alleviate increased traffic congestion on U.S. 27,� said Rob Hans, chief district engineer for the Department of Highways District 6 of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet in a news release. “It will provide many commuters from Pendleton County and southern Campbell County a safer road with greater accessibility.� The last widening project along U.S. 27 was completed in November 2007. The $25.6 million project widened the highway from two to four lanes between Ky. 536 and Racetrack Road.

Dunking educators for charity dollars By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com
FILE PHOTO
Campbell Ridge Elementary School Principal Anthony Mazzei is sopping wet after being submerged in the dunk tank during the first Dunk the Principal fundraiser for the Special Olympics of Northern Kentucky in Alexandria in 2008.
Campbell County educators will don their swim gear Aug. 29 to help make a drop in the bucket for local Special Olympics athletes by taking the plunge in a dunking booth. The second annual “Dunk the Principal” sponsored by City Brew Coffee will feature educators from 10 schools in the dunking booth at the Alexandria Shopping Center, 8109 Alexandria Pike, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 29. “I’m getting dunked,” said Jill Sowards, first grade teacher at Grant’s Lick Elementary School. Sowards said she jumped at the chance to volunteer to get in the dunking booth to represent her school because she has a brother who was a Special Olympics athlete. “It just had such a positive affect on him, and I just definitely support the Special Olympics and things they do,” Sowards said. Sowards hasn’t told her first grade students yet about their chance to submerge her in a dunking booth, but she’s planning to do so before the event. “I’m sure they would absolutely love to try to get me dunked or at least watch me,” she said. Each school competes to raise the most money via the dunking booth, said Shari Hennekes of Alexandria, the organizer of the event who is one of the owners of City Brew Coffee.

Event details
The second annual “Dunk the Principal” fundraiser for Special Olympics of Northern Kentucky Area 7 will be at the Alexandria Shopping Center, 8109 Alexandria Pike, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 29. The event will include an inflatable bounce house, cotton candy, face painting, a silent auction, food and music. Here is the schedule of school representatives times in the dunking booth: • 11-11:30 a.m., Crossroads Elementary. • 11:30 a.m. to noon, Reiley Elementary. • Noon to 12:30 p.m., St. Mary School. • 12:30-1 p.m., Bishop Brossart High School. • 1-1:30 p.m., Grant’s Lick Elementary (with teacher Jill Sowards in the booth). • 1:30-2 p.m., Campbell Ridge Elementary (with Principal Anthony Mazzei in the booth). • 2-2:30 p.m., Campbell County Middle School (with principals Christie Henson and Kathy Gutzwiller in the booth) • 2:30-3 p.m., Cline Elementary (teacher Matt Record) • 3-3:30 p.m., Campbell County High School. • 3:30-4 p.m., McCormick Area Technology Center (with Principal Joe Amann in the booth). Mazzei in the dunking booth, raised the most money last year, Hennekes said. Mazzei will be back in the dunking booth, but Lynn Poe, the principal of Cline, is excited about raising money for Special Olympics this year, Hennekes said. Money from last year’s inaugural Dunk the Principal in Alexandria bought uniforms for the Special Olympics athletes, and paid for almost 20 to compete in state tournaments, This year it’s hoped to raise enough money to send more local athletes to the state tournament. “Our goal is to sponsor a total of 100 kids at an average cost of $40 per athlete,” Hennekes said. Hennekes decided to help raise money for Special Olympics because her neighbor Carol Fal-
well who coaches everything from bowling and basketball to skiing as a parent volunteer. Falwell’s daughter Christy, 23, and son Jeffrey, 20, who has Down Syndrome, have both been athletes for Special Olympics since 2000. Falwell said she is in awe of Hennekes willingness to help, and the energy she brings to the fundraising through the event. Falwell said Special Olympics has helped her son and daughter be more outgoing, and talkative. Plus, everyone in Special Olympics goes out just to have fun, and nobody ever gets put down, she said. “Once they come to special Olympics we boost their self esteem so they don’t fear going up and talking someone,” Falwell said.

NEWS FROM NKU NKU receives training grant
Northern Kentucky University has received a Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program grant that will expand online paraprofessional library programs and provide scholarships and technology stipends to 50 library staff members working in the commonwealth’s high-poverty rural areas. NKU, which received $999,558, is one of 33 universities nationwide that received the grant, while 111 schools submitted proposals that totaled $63 million. “We are extremely excited to be awarded this funding,” said Arne Almquist, NKU associate provost for library services. The grant will enhance existing associate and bachelor’s degree programs and provide scholarships which will increase the level
of education and leadership among library staff in 50 targeted counties in eastern and far western Kentucky. The programs will include Kentucky’s compulsory online certification program, the online associate’s degree at Bluegrass Community and Technical College and a new bachelor’s completer program in library informatics at NKU. In western and eastern parts of Kentucky, counties are in the utmost need of professionally trained library practitioners. Most librarians in these areas do not hold degrees because of financial barriers and location barriers. The Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program grant received by NKU seeks to address both of these hurdles by providing completely online programs, renewable scholarships and tech-
nology stipends that include laptop computers and Internet access.
NKU now taking applications
The Northern Kentucky University Program for Talent Development and Gifted Studies is seeking 30 teachers to enroll in its MA.Ed. program. This challenging, rigorous and rewarding program prepares educators to create hands-on, engaging and relevant learning environments. The MA.Ed. is a program for certified teachers to enhance their current certification and earn a master’s degree. At the completion of the Master of Arts in Education: Teacher as Leader program graduates will earn the Teacher as Leader endorsement on their Kentucky teaching certificate. This two-year program has
many desirable and functional features. The MA.Ed. can be completed online, on-campus or as a mixture of both online and oncampus courses. Non-residents can complete the online program for the cost of in-state tuition, and non-residents who teach in Kentucky can also complete the MA.Ed. on-campus for the cost of in-state tuition. Applications are now being accepted. Contact the NKU Office of Graduate Programs at 5721555 or grad@nku.edu or visit w w w. n k u . e d u / ~ e d u c a t i o n / gradprograms/certifiedteachers.
NKU to limit enrollment
Northern Kentucky University has received more than 6,500 freshman applications for the upcoming fall semester – an all-
time record at NKU and a 36 percent increase over last year. While university officials are encouraged by the high demand, they continue to be concerned about classroom capacity and announced they will be forced to limit enrollment this fall. Qualified freshmen with more than one academic deficiency who apply for admission after July 1 will be deferred to the spring semester. Students with just one or no academic deficiencies will continue to be admitted for the fall. University officials stressed that current NKU students will not be impacted by this change, but they do encourage all continuing students to register for classes soon. With such large numbers expected this fall, it is likely that by August class selection will be more limited than in past years.

The next time you complain that there is nothing on, remember that you can always watch the birth of the universe. Bill Bryson “A Short History of Nearly Everything” 2) “The music of the spheres,” the Pythagorean metaphor that has inspired great composers throughout the ages, is no figment of human imagination. As music critic John Rockwell commented, “Who knew? All those philosophers and scientists and theoreticians who believed in the ancient Music of the Spheres were on to something. There is such a music, and it’s the note B-flat.” Rockwell refers to the fact that in 2003 astronomers using the Hubble telescope registered a “cosmic hum” emanating from black holes with “a frequency equivalent to a Bflat which in their instruments calculated to be 57 tones below middle C.” Among musicologists, this news from outer space has sparked an Internet quest for the emotional and aesthetic significance of Bflat …” Elizabeth Michael Boyle “Science as Sacred Metaphor” 3) “Why do kids today wear their baseball caps the wrong way round? asked someone wearing his peakforward. “Two reasons,” said Kipling … First, you need

Second, inverting the cap is a gesture of non-conformity. Primates live in highly ordered social structures. Playing by the rules is considered essential.

When I go out to the garden to pick peppers, I think of Nell Wilson, along with my sisters Sonia Ervin, Christine Lawson and Edith Hartwell. Nell is Ron Wilson’s mom. Ron is our gardening columnist and I met Nell years ago when I was a guest on Ron’s radio show. Nell’s pickled pepper recipe is one of the best. Sonia, Christine and Edith were the first of my sisters to learn to make pickled peppers from my mom. Mom made big batches of everything. Nell’s version is for smaller batches, which are more doable for most of you. Even if you’ve never canned, I hope you try a batch. You’ll be glad you did when you compare the price

*I make this with a mixture of mostly hot peppers. I usually don’t add 2 cups sugar; I’ll start out with half a cup, taste the brine, and go from there. (Someone told me you could also use Splenda).

Nell Wilson’s pickled peppers recipe. If you have extremely hot peppers, though, the 2 cups of sugar is not too much. My sister, Christine, makes my mom’s big batch version of these and uses no sugar at all so it’s up to you. As far as the yield, I don’t remember! It depends
Rita’s herb goat cheese log. on the size of the peppers, whether you use quart or pint jars, etc.
Sterilizing jars
Wash canning jars and lids, then put jars in a big pan, covered with water. Bring to a boil and boil 15 minutes.
COURTESY RITA HEIKENFELD
(If your dishwasher is hot enough, use that to sterilize the jars). Keep in hot water until you’re ready to fill.
Brine
6 cups clear vinegar, 5 percent acidity 2 cups water 1 ⁄2 to 2 cups sugar (see note above)* Bring brine to a boil. Let boil gently as you fill jars.
Prepare peppers
Wash. Leave whole with a slit down the center, or cut into slices as desired. I like to remove seeds if I slice them, but this is optional. Remember the membrane that the seeds are attached to is the hottest part of the pepper, and the seeds are the second hottest part. Place peppers in sterilized, hot jars, packing tightly. Pour boiling brine over, covering peppers. Add seasonings, such as garlic, bay leaf, herbs, etc. or leave plain. Wipe rims with wet cloth. Put lids on. No need to process these as the vinegar keeps bacteria out. Jars will seal on their own – you’ll hear little “pings” as the seal completes. Any that don’t seal just put in fridge. Chill in refrigerator before serving.
Tip from Rita’s kitchen
• The lids are a twoparter: a flat seal and a ring. The rings are reusable; the seals are not. • Video for pickling peppers on abouteating.com.
Rita’s goat cheese log
So easy and so impressive. Just roll a goat cheese log into some chopped herbs and/or edible flowers. Choose one or two or a lot, like parsley, basil, oregano, rosemary (not too much), chives, thyme, sage, nasturtiums, rose petals, etc. Delicious with French bread or crackers.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Time to save, not spend
I’m not convinced that taxpayers were exactly thrilled with Judge (Steve) Pendery’s article on spending (Pendery-Some spending makes sense Aug. 13). Whether it’s a family suffering cutbacks/lay-offs, or simply county workers faced with wage freezes, it’s all bad news. You are not going to find a family faced with wage cuts running to a high-priced restaurant simply because they are offering “specials.” All of us are seeing the value of our homes shrink and the banks becoming more stingy in terms of loans. This de-valuation in a down economy means that the county will have less tax revenues to work with in the near future. What I am seeing in the private
business sector is a hold on capital projects, and I do not understand why we should expect our government to be any different. Sure, there are things that have to be done, but don’t you think some things can wait? The fact is that we are experiencing really bad times and nobody knows when we will see a trend of recovery that is stable. I can tell you this however: you won’t see many of us out buying new cars, finishing our basements, or adding on to our homes just because it’s cheaper. What you will see is folks trying to hold on to what they have in order to survive this “once in a lifetime crisis.” Kevin Sell Royal Oak Drive Alexandria
School attendance is compulsory in Kentucky With the new school year beginning in most of the local schools, I thought it may be helpful to deal with the issue of compulsory school attendance. Under Kentucky Law, every child between the age of 6 and 16 is required to be enrolled and attend a public or James A. private school unless their physiDaley cal or mental conCommunity dition prevents or Recorder renders inadvisable attendance at guest school or applicacolumnist tion to study. An exemption is also granted to someone under 16 who has already graduated from high school. A child between the ages of 16 and 18 is permitted to drop out of school only with written permission from a parent or guardian and after a conference and counseling with school officials. Any person over the age of 18 who has not completed high school can drop out without written permission of a parent or guardian. Under Kentucky Law, a parent, guardian or custodian of a child is legally responsible for any violation by the child of the Compulsory School Attendance Laws. Under Kentucky Law, a parent, guardian or other custodian is required to see that their children comply with Kentucky’s Compulsory Attendance Laws and any parent, guardian or custodian who intentionally fails to comply with such laws can be fined up to $100 for a first offense, up to $250 for a second offense, and up to 90 days in jail, and up to a $250 fine for a third offense. We often have cases in the Campbell District Court where the children are charged with being habitual truants and the parents are charged with failing to make their children go to school. Fortunately, our local district judges take these cases very seriously and it is not uncommon for parents to receive a heavy fine and/or be sent to jail. It is rare that a parent can come up with a good enough excuse to avoid fines or jail time for not making sure that their children attend school. Under Kentucky Law, any child who has been absent from school without a valid excuse for three or more days or tardy without a valid excuse for three or more days is considered a truant. Any child who has been reported as a truant for three or more times is considered an

When a student age 16 or 17 drops out of school or is declared to be academically deficient due to poor grades, then the school administrator must notify the superintendent of schools who then must notify the Kentucky Department of Transportation that the student has dropped out of school and/or is academically deficient. A student is deemed to have dropped out of school when he has nine or more unexcused absences to include suspensions during a semester. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet then will notify the student that his license to drive a car has been revoked. The student may request a hearing in District Court to attempt to get his license reinstated for good cause shown such as that the student did not drop out or is not academically deficient or that a family hardship situation exists where the license is absolutely necessary. If a student re-enrolls in school, he may apply to have his driver’s license reinstated at the end of the semester during which he re-enrolls. The purpose of the license suspension provisions of course is to discourage kids from dropping out of school. Many students do not drop out of school because of the fear of losing their license or decide to re-enroll in school and/or attend school regularly in order to get their license back after a suspension.

Cap and trade means lights out for small businesses Get ready to pay a whole lot more to keep the lights on. Congress currently is working to pass a huge energy bill. The centerpiece is a system to force energy utilities to purchase government credits to offset their greenhouse gas emissions. This would in effect be an energy tax on the American people as the utilities pass the increased costs along to consumers and small business owners. The plan is called “cap and trade” and it refers to a new trading market that Congress wants to create. The government will set limits on the amount of greenhouse gases businesses are allowed to emit (the “cap”), and then businesses will purchase credits to offset their emissions. Businesses that reduce their emissions below the cap will be free to sell their credits to other businesses (the “trade”), a system with the potential to make trading mortgage derivatives look like a good idea. However, in the initial phases, more than 80 percent of the cred-
its will be given away by the government, rather than auctioned off as originally planned. The credits will go to big businesses hand-picked to garner enough support to pass the bill out of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. Even President Obama admits current cap and trade proposals will cause energy rates to rise. “Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket,” he told The San Francisco Chronicle last year. At the same time, the House Committee on Ways and Means estimated we would lose anywhere from 1.8 million to 5.3 million jobs. That’s because big businesses will pass the cost on to small businesses and consumers in the form of higher prices.

What are your favorite and least favorite memories from your school days? “Being hall monitor, having free roam of the playground which had lots of trees and sandboxes, after lunch you could buy a ticket for a nickel to see a movie in the auditorium (usually it was Laurel and Hardy serials) or you could choose to go to the library instead or you could just go home for lunch. No school buses; we walked come rain, shine, sleet, hail, snow. Our school lunches were 20 cents and all the pies were made there in the kitchen. At one school I attended they were caught serving horse meat for hamburger! I liked art and gym and cooking and shop and hated everything else! If someone disrupted class by misbehaving they were sent down to the office and had their hands/bottom whacked! Sometimes the teacher did it and saved the principal the bother.

electricity rates would go up at least 40 percent. And that would be devastating to small businesses and everyone else in Kentucky. The Heritage Foundation estimates that Kentucky would lose almost 22,000 non-farm jobs in 2012, the first year of the proposed cap-and-trade program. Kentucky’s economy would take a hit, too. The gross state product, the total value of goods and services produced in the state, would plummet by about $1.9 billion, according to Heritage Foundation estimates. As state director of the National Federation of Independent Business, Kentucky’s largest small business association, I want to urge our U.S Senators to oppose cap and trade. We can have a healthy environment and healthy economy, but cap and trade means “lights out” for small business.

Camels motivated by late-season swoon By James Weber jweber@nky.com

I’m not going to allow us to be a .500 team. We’re going to work hard and be better than a .500 team.” The Camels return five starters on offense and six on defense. Koeninger is a senior and two-year starter. Junior Nate Geiman is a returning starter at running back and linebacker. “Zak is just a physical specimen,” head coach Troy Styer said. “He’s a force on both sides of the ball, great feet. He’s our heart and soul on defense. He’s very physical.” Junior Michael Kremer returns for his first full year at quarterback after taking over late last season. He had 560 yards passing and six touchdowns. He replaced senior Andrew Eshman, a 6-foot-3 talent who moved to receiver so the Camels could take better advantage of his speed and athleticism. “We’re a better football team with both Kremer and Eshman on the field,” Styer said. “Kremer has had a real nice preseason for us. “Eshman is great athlete, very fluid, very fun to watch.

starters on the offensive line, plus skill guys Grant Rose and Tony Bishop. “I really like their attitude,” Styer said. “They’re really working hard and getting after it. We lack some experience but I think we’ll make up for it with energy and enthusiasm.”
Linebackers Joe Sauerbeck and Jake Rebholz, end T.J. Jett and defensive back Cory Hodge are the top returners on defense. Styer said the linebacking corps is the team’s biggest strength. He knows the Camels have to be in top form in the always tough 6A district. “It’s probably the toughest district in the state to make the playoffs out of,” he said. “There’s going to be somebody good sitting at home come playoff time. Just like us and Simon Kenton – we lost in the last minute and a half, and they go all the way to the finals. That very well could have been us.”
Small NCC team still thirsts for state By James Weber jweber@nky.com

The Newport Central Catholic Thoroughbreds lost 13 starters from last year’s team, which went 13-2 and lost to Fort Campbell in the Class 2A final for the second-straight year. NCC has one of its smallest teams in recent years, about 36 players. While there may be obstacles, Schneider sees opportunity as he enters his 44th season with a state record 338 wins. “It’s not so much who we lost, but that we have fewer numbers,” he said. “We’re trying to come up with a second group to replace them.

Mustangs focus on improving program By James Weber jweber@nky.com

Quarterback Jesse Orth rolls out to pass for Bishop Brossart Aug. 11.
There is no question what the first goal is for the Bishop Brossart High School football team – get the first win in varsity history after an 0-20 start the past two years. Second-year head coach Matt Reinhart is not stating the goal in those terms as much as he is emphasizing the process. “We talked about that so much last year, I felt like it was too much pressure on the kids,” he said. “This year we cut back and we just talk about doing the little things right – establishing consecutive first downs, when we get inside the 5, push the ball in the endzone. If we can do the small things right, the big things will come.” Brossart lost six seniors and return many veterans who have been in the program for four years. Getting that win will be important. “It’s a big motivation for me because we won’t hear the jokes,” senior lineman Spencer Groeschen said. “Last year we had a bunch of freshmen on the line. Now they have experience, it should be a different ball game. We have speed in the backfield, strength up front and our defense is looking a whole lot better.” On offense, sophomore Jesse Orth enters his first year as starting quarterback. Chris Bowman is a start-

Colton and Conner Boesch, and Kyle Reinhart are the top returners on defense. Coach Reinhart said with 36 players on the team, depth will be an issue, but the team is more equipped to compete this season. An easier schedule on paper looks to be more competitive for the Mustangs as well. Whenever the first win comes, the Mustangs will love it. “It’ll be a nice feeling, knowing it will be for the people who have played the last three years and didn’t get the win,” Crawford said.

Violet Rae Downey and Vickie Riffe Ellis of Ft. Thomas, and Roberta Schultz of Wilder are three women who live to sing together. Known to audiences throughout the region as Raison D’Etre, they will be performing at the Old West Festival east of Cincinnati Sept. 12 and 27, and Oct. 10. A background in musical theater drives Downey’s dramatic sense of song and fuels her incredible range as her percussive guitar pounds out the heart beat for the trio. Ellis combines classical piano training, a passion for folk instruments (banjo and banjuke) and her background in radio and theater to add spice and nuance to arrangements and homey chat to performances. Schultz’s finger-picking guitar styles, soulful song writing and Native drums (including a few that she made) craft Raison D’Etre’s Americana feel. Traditional folk songs, a capella swing tunes, and Shaker hymns round out their versatile repertoire, all delivered in their pure Kentucky blend. From 2000-2006, Raison D’Etre hosted the Coffee Cup Concert Series at the Behringer-Crawford Museum. Outside of Kentucky, they appear at arts venues and festivals from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. They are MOVA Song Writing Festival finalists for 2007 for “Legacy” and “This Kind of Rain.”

Visit a “medieval castle” on a high hilltop on 115 secluded and forested acres of the most beautiful area of Southeast Ohiothe Hocking Hills! Owners Sue & Jim Maxwell are creating the most unusual guest experience of stepping back 800 years in a reconstruction of a “12th century Norman castle.” The Maxwells have traveled throughout England & Scotland & have always loved castles & the medieval era. Although the building is new, the couple has been collecting architectural antiques for several years. Each guest room or suite has a stained glass window, usually in the bedroom, a Victorian fireplace mantel with a gas log unit, antique light fixtures and some have beautiful old doors. The wood mouldings around the door & windows & the 5 stairways are inspired by centuries old motifs from Great Britain’s stately homes & castles. Most rooms also have a French door with a balcony, private deck overlooking the forest. There are also “medieval” themed cottages with fireplaces and whirlpools. Ravenwood has
