First day
PROVIDED
Two Notre Dame Academy students shared a laugh over schedules on the first day of school Aug. 19.
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 annex, 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 insurance 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 a August 18 committee

The people have spoken. In June, The Community Recorder presented readers with a ballot of 100 categories so they could choose their favorites ranging from American vehicles to produce to women’s clothing. And r e a d e r s 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, Lake side 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.

Daniel Nikolich, the manager of the Erlanger Furniture Fair, says the store's secret to success is their familiarity with the community, having opened their location in 1963. • John Goderwis, Manager of 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

swap, and trading commercial property would be more difficult, 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.”
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.”

Other honorees included Outstanding Firefighter/ EMT David Jansing, Outstanding Public Works Official Kelly Chapman, Outstanding Municipal Clerk Karen Barto and Outstanding City/County Administrator Brian Dehner. “These are among the most prestigious awards in our region, and this is quite an honor for all our recipients tonight,” said Philip Accardi, who works with the NKADD to offer Quality Improvement seminars across Northern Kentucky.

In 1992, he was promoted to Sergeant in the patrol division, and 1998, he was promoted to Lieutenant. He became the Assistant Chief in 2000, and was appointed Chief in 2002. “He is certainly deserving of this award, and we’re so excited for him,” said council member Patty Suedkamp. Fields, who was also named the 2008 Kentucky Crime Prevention Police Chief of the Year, said he was humbled by the award. “It’s always special to be recognized by your peers, so this is pretty neat for me,” he said. “To know that you have their respect is a great feeling.”

Best-selling ‘Shack’ author visits area By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
William Paul Young is as surprised as anyone by the success of his only book, and he’s not too proud to admit it. “If you guys think I’m in over my head here, you don’t know the half of it,” he joked to a crowd of about 300 in the Dixie Heights auditorium Aug. 14. “I never in my wildest dreams could have imagined this – it still doesn’t seem real sometimes.” Young, the author of the best-selling Christian fiction novel “The Shack,” visited the area that day as a guest of Watermark Community Church, which meets regularly at Dixie Heights.
He spoke about the book for about 45 minutes before taking time to sign copies and greet all of the guests with a hug and a few kind words. Young said he wrote the story, which is based metaphorically on his own life, originally as a gift for his six children in 2005, making copies of the manuscript at Kinko’s and binding it himself. Those manuscripts eventually were passed on to friends, and then to friends of friends, and then to people Young had never met. “I normally go by ‘Paul’, so I had people approaching me and telling me I had to read this story by ‘William Young’ that was passed to them,” he recalled with a

He said he was turned down by all 26 publishers he approached, with the religious-based companies feeling the story was too edgy and the secular companies feeling the story wasn’t mainstream enough.
“So my friends and I did some research, and turns out, all you need to start your own publishing company is to sign a couple pieces of paper and about $250,” he said. “So we finally had a publisher who would take on my book … me.” Young said they approached the publishing cautiously, ordering only 10,000 copies and hoping to be sold out in two years. Six months later, they

Erlanger looking at slight increase in tax rate By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
The Erlanger city council is expected to approve a slight increase in the property tax rate for 2009, although not nearly what would be allowed under state statutes. At a special meeting on August 18, the city council heard a first reading of an ordinance that would set the tax rate at $2.98 per $1,000 of assessed property. That rate is expected to generate approximately $3, 136,320 in revenue. It is defined as the “compensating rate plus four”, meaning it will allow for a four percent increase in revenue from last year. However, since the total property value assessment in the city went down, the council actually had the option of taking a substitute rate, which would have been $3.01, or the substitute plus four, which would have been $3.13 per $1,000. “By law, we could have done that but I just don’t think it would have been right for our citizens,” said city administrator Linda Carter. “I think this is a good compromise and it helps us to maintain the budget that we’re already in.” Mayor Tom Rouse said the city will continue to operate as conservatively as possible, given the economic times. “I’ve seen what not taking what you’re allowed can lead to three or four years down the road for a city’s financial well-being,” he said. “But I do think this is a good compromise for our citizens.” Under the new rate, the owner of a home valued at $100,000 would pay $298 in property tax, an increase of $12 from last year. The council is expected to hear a second reading of the ordinance and take a final vote at their Sept. 1 meeting, scheduled for 7 p.m. at the city building.

Miles adopts standards-based grading By Jason Brubaker jbrubaker@nky.com
Parents of Miles Elementary students will notice something missing from their child’s report cards this year...grades. “I don’t believe that a number or a letter inspires a kid to work harder like it used to,” said Principal Bryant Gillis. “We want to be able to show true learning for all our students, and this is the way to do just that.” Toward that goal, Gillis and the rest of the school have been working diligently since last spring to overhaul their grading system, replacing the typical As and Bs with standards, which are set by the teachers and students. Each grade level has certain standards that the students are required to meet, which then lead into the standards required for the next grade. For example, second-grade students will be required in the first quarter of the year to be able to identify two and three-digit numbers that are odd or even. By the last quarter of the year, they’ll be required to solve threedigit addition problems, which will lead them into the first quarter of their third-grade year, where they’ll learn to apply and describe

is getting our students ready to move on,” said Gillis. To measure progress towards meeting these standards, students will fall into one of five categories;
Not Assessed, No Progress, Making Progress, Meeting Standards and Above Standards. The teachers will use rubrics they designed during professional development
days to measure the students’ progress, with the harder standards requiring more specific assessments by the teachers. “We have pretty specific things we’re looking for to see how the students is progressing toward meeting that standard, and that’s where this system really makes sense,” said Gillis. “We can really identify where a student is having trouble, why he is having that trouble and work to fix it rather than just assigning a letter to say he either did good or bad.” Gillis said that parents have also been involved in getting the new grading system going, meeting regularly to talk about how they can help their child exceed the standards. “To see everyone come together and to see how excited the kids are about this has been really neat,” he said. Fourth-grade teacher Della Kemper agreed as she watched her students enthusiastically talk to Mr. Gillis during a classroom visit, eagerly catching him up on what they had learned that morning. “We’re still early in the process, but it’s obviously going pretty well so far,” she said. “I think this is going to be a really great thing for us.”

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. Such crises are meant to nudge us
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. 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 personal. And guess what? She 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 salt and 1⁄4 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.
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.

With all the hype about the movie “Julie & Julia,” anyone who has what we call a “Julia Child” story is sharing it. So today I’m sharing mine.

On a whim, I called Julia and, of course, she was “out” but the secretary said she’d give her the message. “OK,” I thought, “I’ll never hear.” About a half hour later the phone rang and my husband, Frank, answered and said the call was for me. When I asked him who it was he simply said “some e l d e r l y lady.” Child Well, it wouldn’t have mattered if it were a young lady; I was under deadline and had no time to chitchat. When I picked up the phone and said hello, the voice that said hello back was … Julia’s! I almost dropped the phone. She was so nice, answered every question, and then just asked about my family and me. We talked for a total of 30 minutes, 10 of which was professional and the rest was

Last week’s question
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,
New school
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. Robert D.

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.

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

Art Affair benefits child abuse prevention Family Nurturing Center is hosting the 15th annual Art Affair, a live art and silent auction on Friday, Aug. 28, at The Grand in Covington. Tickets to Art Affair - Fiesta Artistica are $60 in advance and $70 at the door. All proceeds benefit Family Nurturing Center’s comprehensive programs designed to prevent, educate and treat all forms of child abuse and neglect and promote healthy family relationships. “We’ve planned a special ‘trip to Spain,’ complete with flamenco dancers, sangria, and more,” said Laura Cook Kroeger, chair of the
event. “Our extensive art collection will include works from local artists as well as pieces from ArtSouth Gallery in Atlanta.” The silent auction boasts some new and unusual items, including signed scripts and signed cast items from the TV show “Brothers and Sisters,” tickets to the LA taping of the Ellen DeGeneres Show and four hopper passes to Disney theme parks, as well as tried and true packages of jewelry, entertainment, sporting events, etc. New this year is the Bolsos de Sorpresas (Purses with Surprises) so you can bid on designer handbags filled with mystery items.
The evening event includes an open bar from 6:30-8:30 and lots of great food created just for this trip to Spain. Special entertainment includes Tom Bosse playing piano, Chris Pinelo singing opera selections, Ana Alza Rodriguez performing a traditional Spanish flamenco dance accompanied by Andrew Winner on guitar. For ticket information call 859-525-3200 or www.familynurture.org. The Art Affair is the Family Nurturing Center’s primary fundraiser of the year and supports its critical child abuse education, prevention and treatment programs.

The rooms are only half of the reason to come to The Doolin House. Owners Charles and Allison just happen to both be chefs. Some of the breakfast specialties include Caramel Banana French Toast and Southern Eggs Benedict (2 fried green tomatoes topped with 2 slices of smoked bacon, 2 eggs over easy and Hollandaise). Chuck is usually in charge of breakfast and tries to do new and different things every day. Chef Chuck pointed out, “It’s fun to experiment with breakfast. It’s the one meal that encompasses all foods. 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. When you need a weekend get away that’s not too far from home or you are planning your summer vacation to beautiful Lake Cumberland, remember that The Doolin House Bed and Breakfast is only a phone call away.
