Edgewood or Erlanger?

jbrubaker@nky.com

Edgewood city administrator Roger Rolfes said a potential annexation of two Erlanger streets into Edgewood isn’t likely to happen at this time. Rolfes and Erlanger city administrator Linda Carter said that residents from Kruer Court and Karlenia Court have approached both cities with a petition requesting the annexation, feeling that their location made them better suited to be considered a part of Edgewood. The two courts are located back off Charter Oak Road in Edgewood. “We have no problems at all with the city of Erlanger, but considering where we are, it just makes more sense to be a part of Edgewood,” said resident Walt Nordloh, who lives on Kruer

Court. “We use Edgewood parks, and everything around us is Edgewood, so it’s just common sense.” However, if the two streets were annexed, Carter estimated Erlanger would lose close to $75,000 in property and insur-

given tax rules and regulations. And while he said Erlanger has yet to make a formal proposal of that nature, he said the trade scenario appears to be unlikely. “It just doesn’t appear it’s going to happen at this time,” he said. “Something certainly could change down the road, but right now, it doesn’t look like it will work out for both cities.” But despite not being able to reach an agreement, both Carter and Rolfes were quick to point out that the two cities still maintain an excellent relationship. “Both cities just have to do what is in their best interests,” he said. “With the boundaries the way they are in Northern Kentucky, sometimes you’ll have some odd situations like this. But we have a great parternship with Erlanger, and we look forward to continuing to work with them.”

Readers’ Choice Awards announced By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com

The people have spoken. In June, The Community Recorder presented readers with a ballot of 100 categories so they could choose t h e i r favorites ranging f r o m Americ a n vehicles to produce to women’s clothing. And readers responded, filling out newspaper and online ballots with their choices. You can find the complete list of Readers’ Choice favorites in today’s special section. We’ve talked with some of our readers’ top choices about how they keep their customers coming back. • Jenny Engelhart, General Manager of Barleycorn’s Restau rant, 2642 Dixie Highway, Lakeside Park (Friendliest Restaurant) “What an honor,” said Engelhart. “We go out of our way to meet new people and develop new relationships.” Engelhart said it wasn’t unusual for regular customers to visit the restaurant once or twice a day. Great service, relaxed atmosphere, quality food and live music keep them coming back, Engelhart said. “We just go out and get to know our guests and make them feel like they’re a part of our family,” she said.

Barleycorn’s Restaurant was voted “Friendliest Restaurant” in the Community Recorder Readers’ Choice Awards. Here Anthony Best, Gus Halpin and Chris Best share a lunch at the Lakeside Park Barleycorn’s Tuesday Aug. 18. Don’s Garage, 39 Erlanger Road, Elsmere (Best Auto Repair Shop) Goderwis, one of four brothers to work at the garage, attributed their success to a family atmosphere that has grown up with the community. Started in 1961, the shop has become known for its great service and friendly staff. “I think because we’re a part of the community, people feel comfortable coming in here,” he said. “We get to see a lot of family and friends in here, and it’s great for us to see people keep coming back to us because they had a good experience.” As for the vote of support from

ance premium taxes. There are currently 24 homes and seven undeveloped lots on the two streets. “I understand the residents’ perspective, but we can’t just give away that kind of money, because it puts a burden on the rest of our taxpayers,” she said. “We’re certainly willing to work out some kind of deal with Edgewood, but with the economy where it is, we can’t afford to give away tax dollars like that.” At an Aug. 18 committee meeting, Carter said the city could work to arrange a “trade” with Edgewood, taking back some Edgewood property to help alleviate the tax dollars they would lose. However, Rolfes said Edgewood doesn’t have any residential property that would make sense to swap, and trading commercial property would be more difficult,

the public, Goderwis said they’re honored. “It’s pretty awesome to know that people voted for us,” he said. “Customer service is huge for us, so it feels great to be recognized.” • Daniel Nikolich, Manager of Furniture Fair, 2932 Dixie Highway, Erlanger (Best Furniture Store) Nikolich likes to say the store has been “selling to generations,” citing their long relationship with the community. The Erlanger location opened in 1963, and there are now six locations in Greater Cincinnati. “We see a lot of people who used to come in with their parents

now coming back in with their own kids, and it’s neat to see that,” said Nikolich, adding that he remembers his parents buying furniture when he was younger in the store he now runs. “I think people are just really familiar with us because we’ve been here for so long and we really enjoy being a part of this community.” He said the store emphasizes customer service above all else. “Our best advertisement is people out there talking about us,” he said. “To be voted to best furniture store is really an honor for us, and that speaks to how we try to do business around here.”

Fort Wright taxes could rise By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com

Fort Wright City Council passed the first reading establishing the city’s 2009-2010 property tax rate at a special meeting Aug. 19. Council passed .210 per $100 of property value, which is the compensating rate plus an addtional 2 percent of the 4 percent increase allowed by the state. A compensating rate creates equal revenue to the prior year for a city’s government. Fort Wright residents will pay approximately $210 per $100,000 of assessed property as opposed to last year’s $199, when council also took 2 percent over the compensating rate. Council was reluctant to take an increase during today’s economic downturn, but felt it was necessary to keep city services such as police, fire and public works running as usual. “Last year was the first year we didn’t take 4 percent I know of,” said Mayor Joe Nienaber. “We took two. I think this council is being consistent

“This budget is a pretty lean operation. Expenses are going up, fuel is going up and equipment is wearing out. We have to be able to pay for those services.”

in saying we’re not just taking it because we can.” Council member Bernie Wessels said it was important to keep city revenues up to help provide for the future. “I want to make sure this city is set for the next 10 years and our kids have a nice place to live,” Wessels said. “I don’t want to shortchange us today where we’re borrowing to fix a pot hole in 10 years. That’s not a great thing to do.” Taking the 2 percent increase over the compensating rate should help keep the city going, said City Administrator Gary Huff, but even a 4 per-

cent increase would not solve the city’s $180,000 shortfall in revenue in the 09-10 fiscal year. “This budget is a pretty lean operation,” he said. “Expenses are going up, fuel is going up and equipment is wearing out. We have to be able to pay for those services.” The city budgeted $100,000 toward the city building loan payment while the economy is responsible for the remaining $80,000 shortfall that will be made up by reserves, Huff said. Since last year, the city has lost $1.5 million in real property values as well as $1.5 million in personal property values simply due to the economy, Huff said. “We haven’t had any development in the last year. New development on the books is zero,” he said. “So there’s no growth.” Council should hear a second reading of the property tax rate at the Sept. 2 council meeting, but Huff said it is possible a special meeting will be scheduled.

Battery Hooper was defended once more at the Fifth Annual Battery Hooper Days Aug. 22 and 23. The two-day event at the James A. Ramage Civil War Museum in Fort Wright is a celebration of Northern Kentucky’s role in defending against the Confederate Army in 1862. The event caused an overflow of parking at the Community of Faith Presbyterian Church and drew 1300 people, which was possibly the most vistors to the event ever, said museum board member Mary DeSalvo. A women’s fashion show demonstrated the intricacy of a Civil War-era woman’s dress, General Lew Wallace and President Abraham Lincoln impersonators defined the term “living history� and the Fifth Ohio Light Artillery kept visitors enthralled (and asked for covered ears) with a real shot of an 1860s cannon.

Schools celebrated first day with balloons, smiles By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com

PROVIDED.

Notre Dame Academy alum Julie Duncan, 22, just graduated from Harvard University and will attend Yale Law School in the fall. Duncan is the first NDA graduate to go on to Harvard. Here Duncan poses on the steps of Harvard’s Widener Library with parents Lee and Mary Lynn.

Bubbles, balloons and a beautiful day welcomed Kenton County students back to school Wednesday Aug. 19. Ryland Heights Elementary School launched hundreds of balloons in every color at the end of their first day back – students, teachers and Principal Cathy Barwell watched the balloons fly away with upraised arms and big cheers. Summit View Elementary celebrated the first day of school by giving each student his or her own bubbles to blow after a “Go Stallions” chant. Notre Dame Academy’s Pandas also returned to school Aug. 19. This year the school has expanded its campus to include a new performing arts center, fitness center, tennis courts and a micro-biology lab.

Grad encourages other students to try Harvard By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com

Julie Anne Duncan wants you to apply to Harvard University. The 22-year-old Notre Dame Academy alum and Burlington resident just graduated from Harvard with a history of science degree. Duncan will also be attending Yale Law School in the fall. “Don’t be afraid to apply,” Duncan said, adding Kentucky students are very rare there – something Harvard admissions would like to correct. “I know I’m not the first person from Notre Dame who deserved to get it in. There are a lot of girls who deserved to go and just didn’t consider it.” And Northern Kentucky students shouldn’t be too worried about being under-prepared to go to Harvard, said Duncan, who graduated in the top 10 percent of her class. “There are some geniuses there, but for the most part people are just hard workers. As long as you’re one of those people who don’t mind working hard and enjoy learning, I don’t think you have to worry.” Duncan chose to study history of science at Harvard because she has always loved the subject and

wanted to “protect” it in a handson setting. “I’m going to law school now and will maybe work for the National Center of Science Education and become a defender of science in the public sphere rather than a biologist working in a lab,” she explained. Duncan’s history of science thesis explored creationism museums. Two articles she wrote based on her thesis will be published this fall in the Informal Learning Review and in the National Center for Science Education publication. Besides her academic interests, Duncan is an environmental enthusiast, a musician (she was in the Harvard band) and is fluent in two languages: Spanish and Portuguese. Robert Longshore, Duncan’s grandfather, said more local students should try to attend Harvard. “It’s a wonderful school. She’s learned so much,” he said. Up next for Duncan is Yale Law School, but she’s not decided which type of law to focus on just yet. “I’m interested in civil rights and human rights. Yale’s really the place to go for that. I think it will be a good experience,” she said.

Where do our personal crises come from?

Everyone lives a drama. We try to be playwright and write the script to our lives. But it never works out that way. There are twists and turns both good and bad, unexpected surprises, disappointments and losses and challenging situations. And there are crises sprinkled throughout. Some of them can rock us to our toes. Where do our crises come from? I don’t accept the idea that God causes suffering and crises. In this imperfect world, they come along like hurricanes, lightening strikes causing forest fires, and volcanic eruptions. I agree with the analysis of various crises expressed by author Sue Monk Kidd. She says that the crises of life come mainly from three sources: developmental transitions, intrusive events, and internal uprisings. Developmental transitions occur naturally in everyone’s life. We move from stage to stage though after awhile we hate the changing. Think of some of our changing stages: birth, beginning school, puberty, moving away from home, risking and forming relationships, choosing a career, entering the work force, and of course, marriage. Add to these raising children, dealing with midlife, the empty nest, retiring, losing a loved person, etc. Each occurrence usually brings varying degrees of crisis. They cause turmoil and rattle our illusion of control. There is a tug toward growth but a stronger tug to stay where we are.

Intrusive events are a second source of life crises. Too many to number, they include accidents, serious illness, a loved person’s death, natural catastrophes, a miscarFather Lou riage, a terminated Guntzelman relationship, losing our job, a wayward Perspectives child, dashed dreams, etc. Though harsh on us, crises are also doorways. How we handle them changes us into bitter or better persons. The greatest factor affecting our lives for good or ill is the attitude we take in the face of things we cannot change. Internal uprisings are the third source of personal crises. Their coming is usually subtle and unspecified. We may begin to notice a vague sense of restlessness, emptiness, or a tinge of depression that hangs on. There may be spiritual doubts, insomnia, blossoming addictions, heightened anxiety, etc. We try to explain them by the terminology of today – stress, burnout, exhaustion. From where do these come? There is a life-force within us straining toward wholeness. What do we think pulls us through all the stages of growth and development in our lives? This life-force has its own ways of getting our attention when healthy development is stymied or stuck. Creating some sort of inner crises in us is its usual technique. Typically we only make significant changes when we hurt.

Though harsh on us, crises are also doorways. How we handle them changes us into bitter or better persons. The greatest factor affecting our lives for good or ill is the attitude we take in the face of things we cannot change. Such crises are meant to nudge us toward some doorway we need to pass through. The trouble is, we never think of a crisis in this way. We just pour another drink, get busy, or use our cell phone. A crises is always considered as something wrong, not something potentially helpful. Such thinking keeps us from looking for the new doorway. A crisis can be a holy summons to become more the person God made us to be. The best way to meet the crises of life is to admit them, name as specifically as we can the feelings we are experiencing, spend time in genuine reflection (seek competent help if necessary), and be painfully honest with ourselves. In short: feel, reflect, learn, and seek understanding which is the key. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

Mastering the art of salmon grilling even sent me a signed thank you note. So that’s my Julia story and that’s why she was so loved and that’s why my copy of her book “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” is dog-eared with use.

Perfectly grilled salmon

The 70⁄30 rule applies to any seafood on the grill. Have the grill hot, lightly brush both sides of the fish with oil, and start grilling skin side up with the grill closed as much as possible. (Or just put a disposable pan over the fish). Leave it alone until about 70 percent of the fish is done on the first side. You’ll know it by the looks and also if it will release easily. This allows the fish to form a nice crust. Turn it and finish cooking. The rule seven to 10 minutes per inch of thickness works well, too. Here’s how I season mine: Brush four salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each, with skin (or not) on both sides with olive or other oil. Season both sides with 1 salt and ⁄4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (this is enough for all four) and the juice of a lime (about 2 tablespoons). Grill as indicated above.

Easy zucchini pineapple peach jam

For several readers who wanted this recipe again. Go to taste on the sugar. I find 3 cups is plenty, but most folks like 4-5. A nonstick pan is best for this. Use your favorite flavor of Jell-O.

COURTESY RITA HEIKENFELD

Rita’s pan-grilled salmon with lemon verbena and dill.

6 cups grated zucchini, skin left on 1 ⁄2 cup water 3-5 cups sugar 20 oz crushed pineapple in juice or syrup 6 oz favorite Jell-O: try peach, strawberry, apricot

Boil zucchini in water for 5 minutes. Drain well and return to pan. Add sugar and pineapple. Boil 10 minutes, stirring frequently so it doesn’t stick. Remove from heat and stir in Jell-O. Cool, spoon into jars and refrigerate.

Tips from Rita on keeping kids hydrated

• So important especially

during this hot weather when they’re in sports, since a child’s body takes longer to adjust to heat and humidity. • Kids produce more body heat but don’t sweat as much as adults so in hot weather they are at increased risk for dehydration. • In the body, water works as a shock absorber protecting joints. • Cold water is absorbed best and kids will drink more if it’s cold. • Make a homemade power drink. Dilute a drink that contains 100 percent Vitamin C by using at least

twice the water recommended on the package.

Last week I published this recipe and forgot to say you could add up to 2 tablespoons salt to the brine if you want.

What do you expect from the Bengals this year?

“If history repeats itself, not much.” J.H. “Not much, thanks.”

K.P.

“Same old, same old! Need a running back, Carson will probably be out most of the year, no pass rush defense, etc. ... as long as MB controls the team the Bengals are going nowhere. I predict six wins and 10 losses.” Duke “More of the same!”

G.G.

“If they could stay sober, keep off drugs, stay out of barroom brawls, and quit beating their wives and/or girlfriends, they might have a chance. If I had to pay taxes in Cincinnati, I’d be ticked off. They built a brand new stadium and got nothing in return. They could also use some management. Mr. Brown just doesn’t have what it takes. He will never be like his dad. G.M. “Nothing.”

J.J.

“Well I just finished watching ‘Hard Knocks’ on HBO which is featuring the Bengals. HBO did a great job, I really enjoyed it and was enthused about the upcoming season until they showed the segment in which Mike Brown was sharing his ideas with the coaches: ‘How about if we move the defensive end to tight end.’ “Mike is still micro-managing and that is not encouraging.” B.M. “I expect them to waste our time and money as usual.” R.S.H. “I expect the usual from these guys; absolutely nothing ... and I have never been disappointed!” J.G. “What do I expect ... or what do I hope?!! :-) “Expect: sadly, another losing season. “Hope: undefeated, Superbowl-bound.” J.K. “This is what I’d like to see: a

Trunk splitting is not unusual Question: I have a red maple tree about 7 years old and it is in a wind path. My problem is about 6 inches up from the ground the trunk is splitting and I’m worried I may lose it. Answer: This type of damage is usually, but not always, on the southwest side of the tree trunk. I’ve seen a lot of this damage to young red maples recently, plus a few other types of trees. Sometimes the bark is totally separated from the trunk and peeling away in large sections, originating from a vertical crack or split in the bark. This past January and February, we had some extreme, sudden temperature fluctuations. We also had several very cold days when the sun was shining powerfully bright in the afternoons. This warmed the bark on the south, southwest and south sides of tree trunks as the sun shone brightly all afternoon, even though the air temperature at the time was very cold. Then when the sun set in the evening, suddenly those plant

cells just under the bark (which had thawed during the afternoon) froze and burst open. This occurred in the layer of cells just the bark Mike Klahr under (this is called Community the vascular Recorder cambium). result, columnist theAs avascular cambium was killed on the southwest side of the tree (or whichever side was most exposed to the sun … sometimes it’s the east side if the bark is shaded in the afternoon but exposed to sun in the morning). Outer bark damage and splitting was not visible until spring or summer. The vascular cambium is an essential part of the tree for growth. When part of it is killed, no more trunk expansion occurs in that zone, and water cannot easily get to the top of the tree,

and sugars from the leaves cannot sufficiently get to the roots of the tree (the roots need sugar in the winter because it acts like anti-freeze to keep the roots from freezing). This often leads to early fall color in damaged trees, and if bark damage is sufficient, eventually branch dieback or even death occurs. All you can do now is spray the trunk with an insecticidal borer spray (since borers often attack trees under stress). Also mulch around the tree, but don’t let the mulch actually touch the tree trunk, and apply one inch of water per week if the rains stop later this summer or fall. Next year, apply borer spray in April, May and June, or use a systemic insecticide in the fall or spring. Test the soil (free through your local Northern Kentucky Cooperative Extension Office) this fall, then fertilize accordingly in late November and/or early March. Mike Klahr is the Boone County Extension Agent for Horticulture.

Setting politics aside for a quicker economic recovery A few years ago we never would have thought our local unemployment figures could exceed 10 percent, but thankfully a variety of indicators show portions of our national economy to be stabilizing. The issue now is whether we will have fewer jobs. A stable, but smaller, economy won’t offer relief to those who want to work. All of us are searching for answers. I believe in the end we will get it right. History suggests that economic policy on recovery has had little to do with party politics. Both parties have gotten it right and wrong. In 1932, in the midst of the Great Depression, at first Republican President Herbert Hoover did little or nothing. Later he supported the Emergency Relief and Construction Act to fund public works programs. He

also supported the creation of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, which provided loans for gove r n m e n t bailouts. Robert D. To attempt to Hudson pay for these PresCommunity programs, ident Hoover Recorder supported one guest of the largest columnist tax increases in history and interest rates soared. The economy did not enter into a period of sustained growth until World War II in the 1940s. Republican President Hoover’s outcome can be contrasted with the approach undertaken by Republican Presi-

dent Ronald Reagan and Democratic Speaker Tip O’Neil. President Reagan took office with 12 percent inflation, interest rates at 16 percent, and high unemployment. In relatively short order, President Reagan and a bipartisan coalition led the nation to its longest period of peace-time economic expansion. It began in the spring of 1983, just over a year after a Democratic-controlled House of Representatives passed across-the-board tax cuts and shortly after interest rates began returning to reasonable levels. It might be said that Republican President Hoover’s approach to economic recovery lacked solid fundamentals. President Reagan and Speaker O’Neill appear to have gotten it right. There are questions about job recovery which are at the core of

American dreams. They are about restoring retirement funds and home values. And there are some answers more Americans are confronting. We know that printing money and government borrowing causes interest rates to rise, which could crowd out growth. We know that increasing marginal tax rates in a recession, with new energy and health care taxes, can cause some businesses to think twice about rehiring workers. Because American manufacturers did not cause this recession, subjecting them to new regulations is unlikely to fix it. Nationalizing additional segments of health care seems very unlikely to restore the value of houses and retirement funds. History will judge fondly the public servants who rise to the challenge and focus on restoring

jobs. President Reagan and Speaker O’Neill, two political giants from different sides of the aisle, came together and did what needed to be done to help a country in crisis, representing all Americans. One of the most encouraging signs over the last year is that entrepreneurs and workers throughout our region have something to say. Their message has far more to do with this country’s history of job growth than it does partisan politics. But at the end of the day, they will help elect (or re-elect) leaders who present the ideas which will help steer the economy toward true recovery.

CovCath seeks 1st football win of season

Dixie Heights, 19, vs. NewCath, 7

By Adam Turer eastsports@communitypress.com

Covington Catholic High School will need to improve on offense and defense as the Colonels seek their first football win of 2009 against Lexington Catholic Saturday, Aug. 29. Major mistakes on both sides of the ball cost the Colonels in their season opening 34-14 loss to Ryle Aug. 21. In new head coach Dave Wirth’s first game leading the Colonels, CovCath put itself in an early hole and played from behind all night. Lexington Catholic put up 43 points in its opener, a 10-point victory over Whitley County. The Colonels travel down to Lexington for a Saturday night showdown and will need to be prepared to stop the Knights’ offensive attack. “LexCath has a very potent offense,” Wirth said. “We need to play solid defense. We can’t give up any big plays.” Big plays crushed the Colonels in the loss to Ryle. The Raiders scored on three plays of more than 30 yards each. On the first play from scrimmage, Ryle running back Travis Elliott sprinted off tackle for an 80-yard touchdown run. CovCath spent the game playing catch-up, but had opportunities to make the game even closer. Down 13-0 at halftime, the Colonels cut the lead to six early in the third quarter. Paul Ritter returned the second half kickoff 60 yards, giving the Colonels a short field. A few plays later, Leo Schaffer scored the first CovCath points of 2009 on an 11-yard touchdown run.

“I liked that our kids didn’t quit,” Wirth said. “Our demeanor stayed strong.” When the CovCath offense got on track, the defense faltered. Ryle responded with a quick scoring drive, then tacked on two long touchdown runs to finish their scoring. When the CovCath defense kept the Raiders in check earlier in the game, the offense faltered. Penalties and turnovers stalled several drives for the Colonels, some deep in Raider territory. “We hurt ourselves by committing costly turnovers and by giving up big plays,” Wirth said. There is a lot of work to be done before the Colonels head to Lexington on Saturday. If the Colonels are to give Wirth his first win as Cov Cath head coach, they

will need to come to the game prepared to play a complete 48 minutes on both sides of the ball. “We need to play consistently on offense,” said Wirth. The Colonels offense, led by quarterback Brayden Erpenbeck who rushed for 105 yards, showed flashes of reaching its potential but made far too many mistakes to be successful. CovCath was penalized nine times for 90 yards, often stalling drives in Raider territory. Wirth and his staff will continue to evaluate the roster and look for the best 22 players to put on the field. He expects his team to be more game-ready when they take the field against the Knights. “Our expectations for the opener were not met whatsoever,” said Wirth. With a week of varsity experience, the expectations will be higher for the Colonels this week as they look for their first victory of 2009.

Holy Cross running back Andy Roncker tries to break a tackle during HC’s 3620 win over Bellevue Aug. 21.

Holy Cross, 36 vs. Bellevue, 20

The Bellevue Tigers lost 36-20 at Holy Cross to open the 2009 season. The Tigers had little answer for a potent Indians’ offense led by senior quarterback Markel Walker, who is projected as a potential Division I college player at safety. Walker rushed for 107 yards and threw for 87 as he led the Indians on sustained scoring drives through the first three quarters. HC led 22-0 at halftime. Bellevue prospered late, mostly against Indian reserves. Senior running back Ricky Buckler had 177 yards, including a 64-yard touchdown. Junior D.J. Slater had TD runs of 13 and 23 yards.

In a matchup between two preseason top-10 teams, Dixie Heights held off Newport Central Catholic 19-7 in the season opener for both schools. The Colonels defense proved to be the difference, as Dixie Heights held the Thoroughbreds to 212 total yards of offense and one score. With the defense keeping the defending state runner-up in check and the offense taking care of the football, the Colonels were able to start the season off with a victory. Quarterback Ryan Wilson led the Colonels offense, which did not commit a turnover. Wilson rushed for 102 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries and completed 12 of 24 passes for 125 yards and a touchdown. Wilson found receiver Ben Haggerty on the Colonels’ opening drive. The offense put together two more drives deep into Thoroughbreds territory but failed to come away with points. Kicker Zach Bronner hit a field goal as time expired in the first half to extend the lead to 10-0. He hit another field goal late in the game to finish the scoring. Chris Kelly got NewCath on the board with a 19-yard touchdown run in the third quarter to cut the lead to three. Kelly finished with 96 yards on 22 carries. After the lead was cut to three, Wilson put the Colonels offense on his shoulders and carried them to another scoring drive which he capped himself with a 9-yard touchdown run. He led the Colonels to 310 yards of total offense. The win will likely move Dixie Heights, ranked No. 9 in the preseason coaches’ poll, ahead of preseason No. 7 NewCath.

State volleyball returns to NKU this fall By James Weber jweber@nky.com

The Kentucky high school state volleyball tournament will return to Northern Kentucky University this fall. Regents Hall will host the event, which will bring 16 high school volleyball teams to the area. They will be regional champions from all over the state. This will be the third time NKU has hosted the tourney in the past five years. It was at Regents Hall in 2005 and 2007, alternating between Frankfort Convention Center in 2006 and Louisville’s Bellarmine University in 2008.

“It’s an outstanding opportunity for the university,� said Scott Eaton, NKU’s senior associate athletic director, who directs the facility. “We’ve been fortunate to host it three times recently. They love bringing it to our facility.� Louisville Assumption beat St. Henry in the 2005 state final at Regents Hall, and then Notre Dame in the 2007 championship. A similar final could be in store this year, as their regions are on opposite sides of the 2009 draw. Eaton said those finals led to packed stands at Regents Hall and hopes for the same this year. He is also excited about

the rest of the state being exposed to the new parts of campus including the Bank of Kentucky Center. “There are plenty of hotels in Northern Kentucky,� he said. “There are so many restaurants and plenty of places for people to be going while they’re here.� The other big changes in the KHSAA state championship schedule from last year involve football and baseball. As has been known for several months, the state football finals will move to Bowling Green on the campus of Western Kentucky University. The six games will return to the first week-

end of December, a week earlier than 2008. In baseball, all 16 regional champions will play a four-round, singleelimination tournament in Lexington instead of just having eight teams there in recent years. The best-ofthree, semi-state round has been eliminated. Teams will play four games over six days in the new format at Applebee’s Park. Track returns to the first weekend of June for its state meet. It had been moved a week earlier last May to accommodate the NCAA track regionals in Louisville.

It’s perfectly acceptable to see smoked salmon or a pork cutlet at the breakfast table. ”For those in no rush to rise and shine, breakfast in bed is served at no additional charge.
