Study to keep Latonia ‘viable’
By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
Covington wants the community to visualize a bigger, better Latonia 10, 20 and even 30 years from now. A small area study will commence this fall on the Covington neighborhood that was once its own city and still retains much of a city’s character. Business owners, residents and city officials will work with the Northern Kentucky Area Planning Commission to evaluate land-use, transportation and mobility and community facilities as well as implementation strategies and recommendations for city commission. “It’s a neat part of town because at one time it was its own city and it has retained some of that distinction,” said City Manager Larry Klein. “Now is a good time to plan for the future so that when the economy does rebound we’ll be ready with that plan – hopefully our timing will be consistent with the national economy improving.” The $125,000 study will get going this fall and should be completed by late summer next year, Klein said. A task force will be created to steer the study. The task force will use data currently being gathered in a separate marketing study to how Latonia stands now in terms of residential and business properties, population, etc. “There’s a lot of large genera-

Ritte’s East Neighborhood Group co-president Donna Horine said the study is a long time coming.
“We’re just very excited about it,” she said. “Latonia has maintained a viable community for a long time. We’re putting things in place to make sure that continues in the future.” The life-long resident hopes the study can help facilitate homes for seniors who have “stayed in Latonia, grew old in Latonia and want to stay in Latonia,” she said. Klein said the task force should
be formed soon and that a meeting introducing the study and soliciting community input should be held in October or November. “It is a big commitment of time and energy. It’s not just sitting down in a meeting you’re taking the material home and studying it,” Klein said. “The reward is you’re a part of a huge effort to make your neighborhood better.”

Months before the Republican primary in May, two candidates have come forward to run for Kenton County Clerk. Incumbent Rodney Eldridge will be challenged by Assistant County Attorney Gabrielle Summe in the Republican primary race May 18. Eldridge, of Taylor Mill, said he’s running again to continue making his campaign promises happen while Fort Wright resident Summe, who has been assistant county attorney since 2001, said she wants to make the office all about the citizens of Kenton County. “Four years ago I ran on a platform to change this office to being more friendly and having quicker customer service,” Eldridge said. “We’ve done that and I want to continue to do that.” Accomplishments Eldridge is proud of include combining the renewal and title transfer office to create a one-stop-shop as well as expanding the voter registration office for greater efficiency. Summe has the same goal of streamlining the office in mind. “I want to make it a very efficient office with one-on-one customer service,” she said. “When people come in I want them to
Navigate your way to the right car for you.
County clerk fundraisers Republican candidates for county clerk Gabrielle Summe and incumbent Rodney Eldridge will be holding campaign fundraisers in September. Summe’s will take place at 5:30 p.m. Sept. 17 at The Gardens in Park Hills. Summe plans for it to be the kick-off to her campaign. Eldridge’s will be held at the home of Wallace Murphy at 916 Squire Oaks Drive in Villa Hills.

know what to expect and what to bring to make it a much quicker process.” Summe also wants to utilize as much technology as possible in the office she hopes citizens will consider their own. “I want to hear from people people have great ideas,” she said. “What do you think we could do better?” Eldridge is also focusing on technology; he and his staff are promoting the ability to pay renewals online or at credit and
debit card terminals, which will be available in the clerk’s office in three months. Election night is another focus for the Republic county clerk candidates. “The problem on election night was not caused by the Kenton County Board of Elections or me. It was caused by our vendor Harp Enterprises – a programming error on only the straight ticket vote,” Eldridge said, adding he’s had “many sleepless nights” over the 2008 election. To keep that from happening in 2010, Eldridge and his staff will personally watch Harp Enterprises program the Kenton County ballot. “I know the election will be much smoother in the future because of the changes we’re

making now, especially because the Board of Elections voted to go with paper ballots and optical scanners, which are much more efficient and easier on the poll workers,” he said. As for Summe, she wants to make sure county votes are “well taken care of.” “That is a key function of the office – working with all the entities to make sure everyone who utilizes the voting machines feels that their vote is going to be counted,” Summe said.

Taylor Mill to deny Kentucky League its dues By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
The City of Taylor Mill won’t pay dues to the Kentucky League of Cities until state Auditor Crit Luallen finishes her evaluation of the organization. Taylor Mill City Commission passed a resolution at their Aug. 12 meeting expressing concern about the recently-revealed facts about the KLC and the intention to withhold dues payment until “the proper steps are taken to return credibility to this organization,� said Commissioner Dan Bell. The nonprofit’s financial practices have been scrutinized in the last month following an investigation by the Lexington Herald-
Leader. Officials of the KLC, which provides lobbying, financial and insurance services to Kentucky cities, recently admitted to a 2006 credit card charge to a Las Vegas strip club while $300,000 in credit card expenses were charged by three of the KLC’s top executives in the last three years. “The reason why I’m concerned is this organization represents us and represents all the cities in Kentucky,� Bell said. “This is like the ‘good old boy’ system if you will.� Bell told the commission he had had talks with Williamstown Mayor Glenn Caldwell, who is not only on the KLC executive committee, but is also going to be
MEN • WOMEN • MIXED • YOUTH • SENIORS
part of the committee recommending changes to current practices. While commission agreed change is needed, Taylor Mill city officials feel an outside opinion is needed to truly make a difference. “There needs to be more checks and balances,� said Mayor Mark Kreimborg. “That’s like the foxes watching the hen house. You don’t appoint your own people to come in and oversee what you’re doing and set policies.� The city plans to recommend an external oversight board of some sort to help monitor the KLC in the resolution, which Bell said Caldwell will bring “directly to the board.� “I think it’s appropriate we do that. We’re one voice, only one city out of 382, but I think we should be heard on this,� Bell said.

BRIEFLY Street-widening
COVINGTON – The 12th Street widening project is set to begin in late August. The $34.1 million project will widen the street from I-75 to Scott Street. Two 12-foot lanes in each direction, curbs, gutters, sidewalks and landscaped median where space allows will be completed. To accommodate the additional lanes, a new bridge will be built parallel to an existing bridge between Russell Street and Madison Avenue. Utilities will be located underground. The plan is to begin on the southbound lanes before moving to the existing road. Two lanes of traffic will stay open during the project, which is set for completion in November 2012.

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 regu-

William Paul Young, author of "The Shack," signs a copy of the book for Patty Blank at Dixie Heights High School Aug. 14. Young's book, a Christian fiction novel, has sold over 7 million copies and spent 49 weeks atop the the New York Times Best Seller list. larly 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 laugh. “I guess I thought then that maybe this was a little bigger than I imagined.” Young’s next task was finding a publisher … a journey that proved to more difficult than he thought. 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 had to order 20,000 more. Ninety days later, they had to order 30,000 more. “It was like a spark starting a fire- it just spread so quickly,” he said. Young said the book has now sold over seven million copies in English, and spent 49 weeks atop the New York Times Best Seller list. He now spends the majority of his time traveling around the country and speaking at various church-

He has also appeared on “The Today Show” and “Good Morning America,” and has even visited Germany and Australia to talk about “The Shack.” “I didn’t ask for any of this,” he said. “But to be able to touch so many people and to read the e-mails from people who say this story helped them rediscover their faith … it’s just awesome.” Watermark Pastor Chad Caddell said the book is one of the best he’s ever read. “Paul is just like anyone else in that he knows what it is to question his faith sometimes,” he said. “But the way he expressed that in this book is unlike anything I’ve ever seen, and this is really just an amazing story that I would recommend to anyone.”

Michael Baker, creator and producer of the show “Cincy Entertainment,” hopes to air his episodes featuring locally made films, musicians, comedians and more on public television in Northern Kentucky. “Before this show I didn’t know so much was going on in Cincinnati and Kentucky. I had no idea there was this much talent.” Baker, an actor and owner of Fade to Gray Films, started the show as a way to give back to the community by giving a venue to performers, especially filmmakers, who may not have one otherwise. “We’re really excited about it,” he said. “There’s really no end in sight. As long as there seems to be a need I’m going to keep doing this.” Baker is open to any suggestions from the community about who or what should be featured on “Cincy Entertainment.” “Anybody who wants to get involved, help out or suggest something that may be entertaining can contact me,” he said. Ed Barzee, a Covington resident as well as actor and writer, is sponsoring the show to be aired on TBNK. Barzee says watching the show is a win-win for viewers and performers. “It gives a platform for area artists to show off what they’ve been doing and it gives people a chance to see what’s out there,” he said. “You don’t have to go to a night out on the Levee or see the Reds or the Bengals. There are more things to do around here than just those few things.”

Park Hills volunteer firefighter and former assistant fire chief John Scott Rigney returned to work Friday Aug. 14 after the city’s legal counsel determined it was lawful for him to be an employee despite his 2004 conviction for his involvement in a fatal wreck. Rigney had taken a leave of absence from the fire department after two council members questioned the liability of his continued employment earlier this month due to a December 30, 2002, motor vehicle collision stemming from his abuse of alcohol. The collision, which occurred on the AA Highway in Bracken County, resulted in the death of another man. Rigney entered a guilty plea of Manslaughter, Second Degree in 2003 and was later sentenced to eight years in prison. Rigney was released in 2005 on good behavior. City attorney Robert Winter Jr. presented his opinion on the issue at the Aug. 10
council meeting. Winter stated that while Rigney could continue on as an unpaid volunteer firefighter and part-time paid administrative assistant to the fire department, he could not remain assistant fire chief because the position could be considered a public office. According to the Kentucky Constitution, “All persons shall be excluded from office who have been, or shall hereafter be, convicted of a felony, or of such high misdemeanor as may be prescribed by law, but such disability may be removed by pardon of the Governor.� Winter also cited KRS 335B.020, which gives mayors the authority to hire a convicted felon if he or she is appropriately convinced of the person’s rehabilitation. “There’s no reason he shouldn’t be here after showing himself to be rehabilitated,� said Mayor Michael Hellmann, who heard testimonies from Rigney’s pastor, family and AA sponsor. Council member Christopher Sudbrink said that
while Rigney is an “invaluable� and “irreplaceable� employee, he wanted to make sure the city doing right by the law. “We wanted to be on the up and up so that we wouldn’t run into trouble in the future,� he said. “I’m sure he would want to make sure his service is in compliance with the law too.� Rigney himself did not want to comment on the issue, but Park Hills Fire Chief Regis Huth spoke on his behalf: “He doesn’t want any trouble. He just wants to keep doing what he loves to do and he does it very well,� Huth said. “I’m happy we were able to follow the law as well as retain a very valuable and exemplary employee,� Huth said. Rigney has worked for the Park Hills Fire Department as a volunteer for more than 20 years and worked for the Covington Fire Department for 12 years.

Crescent Springs City Council weighed in on problems with code enforcement at their special meeting Monday Aug. 17. Public Works Director George Ripberger discussed issues with the Northern Kentucky Area Planning Commission’s One Stop Shop services, which handles code enforcement for many local cities. “What we’re trying to do is make sure we’re getting these things taken care of and when we do report violations it’s being followed up on,� Ripberger told Deputy Director for Current Planning Mike Schwartz, who attended the meeting on behalf of the NKAPC. Ripberger told Schwartz many properties are still in violation of code a year and a half after being cited. When Ripberger contacted the NKAPC, he and Schwartz found no code enforcement activity had taken place for the last two months. Eight violation letters were sent out after Ripberger’s call. “I have no problem mak-
ing a list of violations,� Ripberger said. “What I do have a problem with is when nothing’s been done a year and a half later.� Schwartz explained that the code enforcement can be a lengthy and “frustrating� process because statute requires notifications to be hand delivered or sent by certified mail. Oftentimes the recipient avoids signing the mail, which backs up the process, Schwartz said. “We can’t do anything with that citation until we know that property owner has received the citation,� he said. Schwartz said enforcement is difficult in all cities covered by the One Stop Shop, adding “it’s a huge problem for us we cannot solve.� Other than certified mail, the NKAPC can deliver citations using Kenton County sheriffs. This however comes with a $40 fee per citation.

“We know we can use the sheriff’s department, but we have not at this point,� Schwartz said. “We just haven’t pulled the trigger on it yet due to cost.� Crescent Springs City Council members told Schwartz it would be beneficial for the NKAPC to look into hand delivering for better enforcement. “If you have the opportunity to use the sheriff that may be the best bet,� said council member Tom Vergamini. Council member Scott Santangelo even went so far as to suggest cities costshare to pay for hand delivery. “At the end of the day we’re the ones suffering eye sores on our residents,� he said. “They are not sympathetic to the arguments you’re making to us. I don’t feel like that’s a satisfactory approach for solving the problem.�

Eighth graders Ian Adams, Tyler Eisner, Todd Farrell and Ivan Cornelius jumped their enthusiam for a new school year at Woodland Middle’s Readifest Thursday Aug. 13.
Kenton schools excited for new teacher rubric By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com
Pencils were sharpened, books were assigned and celebratory balloons released in the Kenton County School District Aug. 19 to celebrate the kickoff of the 20092010 school year. New standards for teachers will make it easier for them to mature as an instructor this year, said Superintendent Tim Hanner. Better instructors means better RTI, or response to instruction. “We have developed a Professional Practices Rubric, not only to be the way our teachers are evaluated, but also to guide our pro-
fessional development and our ongoing school improvement,” he said. Hanner is also confident his educators will have no problem keeping up the momentum despite a lack of state accountability testing - state legislature retired the CATS testing last year and is currently developing a new assessment as well as working nationally to develop new core content standards. “Our message is we stay the course in what we’ve been doing. We know state-level testing is in a state of flux and will be changing. We’re confident there will be positive outcomes for our students
because the things that Senate Bill One ended up ensuring is really what we feel like to be the continuation of Kentucky education.” Hanner said he was able to look at a draft of the new core content standards for mathematics, which reflect international standards. “We’re encouraged by that,” he said. “Hopefully in the areas of numeracy the standards will not be as wide and broad and will be narrower and deeper so that teachers not only cover all they need to cover, but also make learning opportunities deeper for deeper understanding for our students on all grade levels.”

Front row: Dulci Gurley and Hannah Theissen. In the meantime, Hanner is excited about the debut of the professional practices rubric because it has “clear expectations” on how to move from level to level in an educator’s development. “This is new ground in education. To my knowledge we’re the first in our state to do this and I’m proud of our teacher’s association and our board of education for adopting such a practice.” Fort Wright Elementary School Principal Barb Juengling said the teacher’s rubric is essential because it illustrates what “quality instruction really looks like,” she said.
“It helps to really define, for example, ‘What does it really mean to be a good (lesson) planner?’” she said. Woodland Middle School Principal Eric Morwessel helped developed the professional rubric. Morwessel said the rubric will be more about teachers and administrators working together towards improvement instead of being evaluated and given a sometimes hard-to-understand number in the old system. “That number had nothing to do with improving instruction in the classroom for the kids,” he said. “That’s the big thing.”

Covington student earns civil scholarship
A recent graduate of Covington Latin School has been awarded a scholarship to study civil engineering at the University of Kentucky. Emily Pooner, 15, is one of 27 students across the state to receive
the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s civil engineering scholarship for 2009. The scholarship, established in 1948, has been awarded to more than 1,500 Kentucky students. Currently, the scholarship is
worth around $40,000. Students pursue a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering and are offered the opportunity to work for the Transportation Cabinet during summer months and then full time
after graduation. Students are chosen based on performance in high school, college entrance exams, aptitude in math and science and their interest in engineering as a career.
Six students from Kenton County have been awarded a Presidential Scholarship to attend the University of Kentucky this fall. The Presidential Scholarship is worth over $31,500. It provides the cost of in-state tuition for four years. The recipients from Kenton County who have been awarded Presidential Scholarships are: Emily Cain, from Simon Kenton High School, daughter of Norman and Karen Cain; Paul William Gerwe, from Covington Catholic High School, son of Larry and Sue Gerwe; Alexander Lee Hoffmann, from Dixie Heights High School, daughter of Bob and Pat Hoffmann; Madison Lee McGhee, from Highlands High School, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth McGhee; Carrie Osterhage, from Dixie Heights High School, daughter of John and Diana Osterhage; and Anna Wehry, from Notre Dame Academy, daughter of Mark and Teri Wehry.

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

3 ) “Why do kids today wear their baseball caps the wrong way round? asked someone wearing his peak-forward. “Two reasons,” said Kipling … First, you need ask yourself what signals a male needs to transmit to a potential mate in order to advertise his suitability as a source of strong genetic material, more likely to survive than that of his competitor males. One answer is brute physical strength. Now, consider the baseball cap. Worn in the traditional style it offer protection against the sun and also the gaze of aggressive competitors. By turning the cap around, the male is signaling that he doesn’t need this protection: he is tough enough to face the elements and the gaze of any who might threaten him. Second, inverting the cap is a gesture of non-conformity. Primates live in highly ordered social structures. Playing by the rules is considered essential. Turning
the cap around shows that the male is above the rules that constrain his competitors, and again signals that he has a superior strength. Julian Baggini “The Pig That Wants To Be Eaten” 4) For the first time in human history belief in God has become implausible in Western civilization, and to the very same extent it had
been plausible for earlier generations. As a result, the religious believer is in a defensive position. He knows his belief will be challenged and that if this happens, he will have to explain himself either in religious terms that more often than not irritate the other rather than enlighten him, or in secular terms that are not adequate for expressing transcendence.

How to pickle that peck of peppers
When I go out to the garden to pick peppers, I think of Nell Wilson, along with my sisters S o n i a E r v i n , Christine Lawson and Edith Hartwell. Nell is Ron Wilo n ’ s Rita smom. Ron Heikenfeld is our garRita’s kitchen d e n i n g 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 of pickled peppers with home canned. The bonus is they make great gifts from the kitchen, and you know exactly what’s in them.

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.

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 government bailouts. To attempt to pay for these programs, President Hoover supported one of the largest 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 President 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 AmeriRobert D. can dreams. Hudson They are about Community restoring retirefunds and Recorder ment home values. guest And there are columnist 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.

Not too late to enjoy the garden Question: I just moved here from another state, and I really miss my vegetable garden, but I suppose it’s too late to plant a garden now, isn’t it? What’s the “cut-off date” for starting vegetable gardens in this area? Answer: There is still time to plant a few things without winter protection or many more if you construct a simple cold frame or just cover the crops with some kind of frost protection. It is not too late to continue to enjoy the garden and add new plantings. A variety of produce can be grown in Northern Kentucky gardens in the coming weeks, allowing fresh items to be available well into the fall. The cooler nights experienced later in the year as these vegetables mature may increase the sugar content of many crops and thus increase their quality. Cooler nights also slow growth, so crops can take longer to mature than in the summer. Keep this slower pace in mind when you check seeds for days to maturity. You need to plant lettuce seeds right away for a fall harvest. Try some of the red, purple, yellow, or spotted varieties for added color and fun. In addition, go ahead and plant seed now for mustard greens, turnip greens and beet greens. Also, between now and Sept. 1, make two staggered plantings of spinach. Between now and Sept. 15, make weekly plantings of radish seeds for a prolonged harvest throughout the fall. After planting the crops mentioned above, it’s time to build a simple coldframe. All you need is 4 boards (2 by 12 inches) for the sides, and some kind of clear plastic or glass for the roof. Old glass sliding doors or old double-pane
windows work great for this. Build your base to fit the glass or plastic roof. Make the length whatever you want, but keep the width to Mike Klahr about 4 feet so Community you can easily Recorder reach the midof the bed columnist dle from each side without climbing into the coldframe. Put this “empty sandbox” on the ground, dig up the soil, and plant in it. You can add some compost or potting mix if you want. This will be your cold frame. Now, inside your coldframe, you can plant all sorts of cool-season veggies: carrots, kale, collards, Bibb lettuce, turnips, kohlrabi, Chinese cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, spinach, radishes, turnips, beets, parsley, snow peas and leaf lettuce. You will enjoy harvesting up until Christmas, and many of these crops will actually survive the winter and start growing again in February and March for an April harvest. If you vent the roof about one inch, your coldframe will never get too hot. Otherwise, if it is kept closed, the temperature inside will climb to 100 degrees on a sunny January day! Ventilation is essential. Only close the cold frame completely for nights when temperatures will be in the teens or colder. Then, close it down and cover with blankets for the night. Blankets may be left on for up to three days of extreme cold; then remove blankets to allow entry of sunshine into the coldframe, and

If the coldframe is placed in an existing garden, and the previous crop was well fertilized and grew vigorously, you may need to add little if any additional fertilizer; otherwise apply about 2-3 pounds of a complete fertilizer such as 5-10-10 or 10-10-10 per 100 square feet of planting area, or submit a 2-cup soil sample to your local Extension Office for precise recommendations. Remember to keep fall gardens well watered as this tends to be a fairly dry time in Kentucky. A weekly irrigation sufficient to wet the soil to 6 or 8 inches should be adequate. This is more or less equivalent to a weekly one-inch rain. Mike Klahr is the Boone County Extension Agent for Horticulture.
New club promotes library to children As summer draws to a close and children and families are thinking about returning to school, what can your Kenton County Public Library do to help your children experience the joy of reading? The library takes its role as a partner in education very seriously, and we are always trying to find ways to encourage children to come to the library and discover all the wonderful books we have waiting for them! Our newest motivational tool is called the Booker Buddy Club. It is our hope that our library mascot, Booker, will encourage more children to get library cards and to use library services as they sign up to join the Club. All children aged 12 and under are eligible to join the Club. Children do not need to live in Kenton County to join. Applications for Club membership will be available at all locations of the Kenton County Public Library, as well as on the library webpage, beginning Aug. 31. Upon completion of the application, children will receive a special Booker sticker to affix to their library card, designating them as members of the Booker Buddy Club.
Children who do not already have a library card will hopefully receive their first library card at this time. All children who are memLisa Tewes bers of the Club Community will receive a Recorder birthday card from Booker in guest the month of columnist their birthday. The birthday card will invite them to come to any Kenton County Public Library location and select a prize from a Treasure Chest assortment. This will provide another opportunity for library staff to promote the library's programs, services, and collections for children. Another perk for members of the Booker Buddy Club will come in April, during National Library Week, when each Kenton County Public Library location will host a Booker Birthday Bash for Club members. National Library Week is celebrated across the nation during the third week of April, and that just happens to be the week of Booker's birthday!
To celebrate, each Kenton County Public Library location will choose a day during that week to host the party, and Booker Buddy Club members will be invited. Children who attend a Booker Birthday Bash will enjoy a visit from Booker, some birthday cake, and some special stories and music. Reaching out to children and families is an important part of the mission of the Kenton County Public Library. Our library has so many excellent services and programs for children and families, as well as an excellent collection of children's books, music, movies, and magazines for children to enjoy. And the best part is that it's all free! Unfortunately, we know that many children and families are not aware of all the great things the library has to offer. It is our hope that the Booker Buddy Club will result in increased use of the library by children and families, especially among those who are currently non-users or underserved users in our community, and create many more lifelong library users!

Pioneers poised to repeat run By Adam Kiefaber
Game days
akiefaber@nky.com
Going into last season, Simon Kenton High School head coach Jeff Marksberry thought 2008 was going to be the year his team would win more than six games for the first time since 1993. However, the Pioneers got off to a bad start losing four of its first seven games including three to district opponents. After a 42-7 loss to district foe Boone County in Week 8, Marksberry had to find out what was wrong. “It was stressful. As a coaching staff we sat down that night (after the Boone County game) and started brainstorming,” Marksberry said. “‘Where did things go wrong? What happened? What’s the problem?’” At the time, Marksberry decided to make a major change by replacing senior quarterback Patrick Bustle with sophomore Chad Lawrence. Lawrence, who at the time had won 29 of his 30 starts at quarterback since he was in the seventh grade, started his first varsity game against Russell, a game the Pioneers won, 40-20. The following week, Simon Kenton beat Campbell County, 15-7, to secure the district’s last playoff spot. In the playoffs, the Pioneers defeated Lafayette, Conner, Boone County and Male before losing the Class 6A title game to Trinity. Simon Kenton’s magical run to the state championship was a pretty impressive feat considering the program hadn’t won a playoff game since 1993. In 2009, the Pioneers are poised to make another run to the Class 6A championship. Leading the way will be senior running back Miles

Hansel Lawrence Simpson, who rushed for 2,309 yards and 37 touchdowns in 2008. Simpson ability to carry his team has caught the eye of many colleges, as he now has offers from Cincinnati, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisville, Purdue, Central Michigan, Troy and WKU. “It takes a lot of pressure off having someone like Miles in the backfield,” offensive tackle Jordan Hansel said. “There have been plays where people have just blown up their blocking assignments and he still got a touchdown because of how well he can run.” Hansel (6-foot-4, 295 pounds), who has scholarship offers from Louisville and Ball State, will lead an experienced offensive line that returns four starters from ’08. Overall, the Pioneers return eight starters on offense and seven on defense including two linebackers who had at least 100 tackles last season in Nik Brown and Austin Bald-
Marksberry Simpson win. Simon Kenton will have its hands full early in the season with in-state matchups against Newport Central Catholic (Aug. 29), Dixie Heights (Sept. 4) and Henry Clay (Sept. 18). The Pioneers will play all five of its district opponents in straight weeks this season, against Conner (Sept. 25), at Cooper (Oct. 2), against Ryle (Oct. 8) and at Boone County (Oct. 16). Last season, Simon Kenton finished fourth in the district and barely made the playoffs. Like last season, a deserving district team (Simon Kenton, Boone County, Ryle, Campbell County or Conner) will not be able to advance to the playoffs in 2009. “It just shows the depth of our district and, you know what, it is not any different this year,” Marksberry said. “From top to bottom, I don’t know if there is a stronger district in the state. I really don’t.”

The senior Sowder started at QB last year, but will be counted on to run the ball more this season to fill the void left by graduated running back Jacob Reyes. The backs will benefit from running behind an experienced offensive line. Three starters return upfront, along with a parttime starter from last season. “Our offensive line should be our strength,” offensive coordinator Dan Wolley said. “We should be able to run behind them.” On defense, the Eagles are switching to a 3-3 stack.

The veteran team will rely on their experience and improved strength. “I think we’ll be better this year,” said Wolley, “but we have a tougher schedule than last season.” Scott has confidence heading into the season and will try to set the tone for the 2009 season in the Aug. 28 opener when the Eagles host Conner. “That will be a good test for us right off the bat,” Wolley said.

Ludlow building program brick by brick By Adam Kiefaber

akiefaber@nky.com
In efforts to improve the football program and its stadium, Ludlow High School will offer its fans and community members the opportunity to “buy a brick” in the grotto at the stadium entrance. “Hopefully, we will Hornsby have 2,000 bricks laid down when it is all said and done,” said Ludlow head football coach Rick Hornsby, who is heading the project. “We are going to keep the brick fundraiser for about two years.” When Ludlow kicks off the 2009 season against Taylor High School (Ohio) Aug. 28 at home, fans will see those bricks stacked in the grotto with a Panther statue on top. Hornsby and the school will sell the bricks, which can have up to three lines per brick, for $35 a brick. “We just wanted to upgrade the facilities and we thought that this was a great way to do it,” Hornsby said. This project should accelerate the upgrades that have occurred at the school for the past few seasons.

Filling in for them will be senior Jacob Ashcroft (5-foot-6, 130 lbs.) “We are expecting big things from him. He is a little guy, but he runs extremely hard and we are really hoping that he can do the job for us at tailback,” Hornsby said. Hornsby also loses his top two receivers from last season in Brett Betz and Kyle Williamson. However, he expects sophomore Chris Yates to step up this season.

Ludlow will return its starting quarterback from last season in Zach Stegemoller, who threw for 796 yards, rushed for 388 yards and totaled 12 touchdowns last season. “We think Zach and our defense will be a lot better this year,” Hornsby said. “One of our goals is to make the playoffs and hopefully have a home game this year and then we will see what happens from there.” Ludlow finished with a 5-7 overall record last season and was eliminated in the second round of the Class 1A playoffs by Beechwood.

In addition to having returning starters at almost every position, the Bulldogs will be two-deep at every position. “We had a lot of guys that were thrown into the fire last year,” head coach Stephen Lickert said. “They understand what we’re trying to do now that they have one year under their belt.” Junior quarterback Jesse

We need to make the opposing defense cover the entire field.” Those playmakers include running backs Damian Oden and Tyrique Simpson and receivers Chris Hayes and D.J. Coston. Simpson, a junior, and Coston, a sophomore, are expected to make a bigger impact this season. Seniors Randy Godowa and Nick Scherpenberg and junior Tommy Courtney anchor the offensive line. “It’s really good that they got experience last season and will be much improved this year,” said Lickert of his returning letterwinners. A deep and athletic secondary leads the Holmes defense. Safety Tirell Engle-
Courtney Freeman mon is joined in the defensive backfield by Damian Oden, Traerell Freeman, and Jalonte Wilson. Defensive end Regal Lowe anchors the defensive line. All three starting linebackers from 2008 – Tommy Courtney, Alex Dailey, and Carlos Calimeno – return to middle of the 3-3 stack defense this season. Lickert believes his team’s strengths will be the year of varsity experience and exceptional team speed.
Lowe Oden While the Bulldogs will have depth at each position, even the starters have minimal varsity experience. “We are talented, but we’re still young,” Lickert said. “We want to make sure that those guys are game-ready.” The Bulldogs are aiming for the program’s first winning season since 2001. Non-conference games against Lloyd, Dixie Heights, and a trip across the river to Withrow will
prepare the Bulldogs to compete for a district championship. Holmes was blown out in the first round of the Class 5A state playoffs last season. They move to Class 4A this season with hopes for a longer postseason run. The Bulldogs started last season 3-1, before losing seven straight to end the season. The program’s 13 seniors have led the team through the offseason and have been working hard to lead the Bulldogs back to a winning season. “We have been practicing with more intensity,” Lickert said. “We have been preparing the way a championship team prepares.”

Wirth’s Colonels begin transitional year By Adam Kiefaber

In each of the past two seasons, Covington Catholic has finished with an uncharacteristic 5-7 record. That performance marks the first time since 2000 the program has had back-to-back losing seasons. This seaWirth son, CovCath will try to rebuild to the program that won six Class AAA state titles since 1987. Leading that transition will be former CovCath assistant and now current head coach David Wirth. Wirth takes over the program after being the head coach at Hamilton Badin High School, where he complied a 27-25 record over five seasons. Prior to the Badin job, Wirth was an assistant at CovCath under coach Lynn Ray from 2001-2003. Under Ray, Wirth was eventually promoted from offensive line coach to defensive coordinator. With that promotion, Wirth was able to get the Badin job and now the head-coaching job at CovCath. Joining Wirth is a staff imported from the other side of the river, many with ties to Moeller, which is where Wirth coached before com-

However, not all the coaches are known for coaching in Ohio. Ray, who won five of those six state titles at CovCath, has come out of retirement to coach the linebackers. “It is very reassuring to know that there is a guy with five rings in his pocket right beside you as a reference,” Wirth said. “He is the best coach in Northern Kentucky if not in the Tri-State, so having him on the sidelines with me and in the coaches office with me is a blessing to say the least.” Not only does Wirth
have a talented coaching staff, but he also has some talented players. Senior left tackle Kevin Connaughton is one area’s top offensive linemen and already has an offer from Air Force. Another player that excites Wirth is senior quarterback Brayden Erpenbeck. “He will make some mistakes early on, but by the time we get to midseason Brayden is going to be pretty scary,” Wirth said. “Defenses are going to have to very honest because of his ability to run and throw.” Erpenbeck’s projected top receiving target was returning starter Michael Robinson, who was seriously injured during a 7-on-7 this summer. Robinson could miss the entire season. Possibly filling that void will be junior wide receiver Alex Connelly (6-foot-4), who won Class 2A state high jump in May. Overall CovCath only returns three starters on offense and four on defense, but Wirth is not concerned. “In a transitional year, returning starters are put back to ground zero because they have to re-learn every-

opposing defenses to stop. The Indians made some changes to the offense in the offseason, based on the returning personnel. Four out of the five starting offensive linemen return from the 2008 season and they will lead the way for a talented group of skill players. Senior quarterback Markel Walker will be asked to throw the ball more this season. He is always a threat to break a big run when he touches the football. “We revamped the offense based on the success our skill position players had late in the season last year,� head coach Bruce Kozerski said. “We will run plays out of the spread this year.� Leading rusher Andy Roenker returns and will be joined in the backfield by fellow senior Brayson Smith. Roenker rushed for more than 1,000 yards last
season and Smith added more than 600 yards on the ground. Walker ran for nearly 700 yards last season. Wide receiver Jordan Norris will be Walker’s main passing target. “We have high expectations of ourselves with so many returning starters,� said Kozerski. Walker and Norris will both start on defense, at free safety and cornerback, respectively. Walker projects as a college prospect in the secondary. Senior Paul Rafizedah also returns at cornerback opposite Norris. Senior Robert Ziegler will round out a very talented and experienced secondary, playing the other safety spot. Six starters return on defense for the Indians. The one position group short on experience is the defensive line, where the Indians will need to replace

Granted those first four losses were to the eventual Class 1A champ Beechwood, Class 6A runner-up Simon Kenton, Covington Catholic and Class 5A champ Highlands, but Dixie Heights was still rebuilding and trying to recover from losing more than 20 seniors to graduation.

Fast forward to 2009 where the Colonels find themselves in a far different position, now they have 26 seniors (graduated only seven) on the team and are thinking about competing for a Class 5A state championship. “I expect that we play for a state ring in December,� senior running back Corey Klei said. “I feel like we definitely have the talent to go that far. It just depends on how well we can come together as a team.� Klei, who at 5-foot-6 195 pounds, is tough to drag down. Last season, Klei rushed for 795 yards and 14 touchdowns, while also catching 23 passes for 261 yards. Senior quarterback Ryan Wilson also returns to an offense that actually returns 10 starters. Last season, Wilson threw for 1,482 yards and rushed for 522 yards, while totaling 20 touchdowns. Newly hired assistant coaches Dave Brossart and Derek Bosse, who were both at Covington Catholic last year, will run the offense this season. Brossart was CovCath’s head coach for the past two seasons, while Bosse ran CovCath’s offensive last season after a coaching stint at Thomas

Ironically, Dixie Heights’ 49-47 loss to Covington Catholic in Week 3 was one of Northern Kentucky’s most exciting games last season. Now, that game serves as a reminder to Dixie Heights head coach Tom Spritzky on how qualified Brossart and Bosse are at running an offense. “They scored 49 points on our defense last year, so I don’t have to worry about them not knowing what they are doing,� said Spritzky, who has turned over the offensive coordinator duties to Brossart after he had been handling that role for the past 14 seasons. This season, Spritzky will shift his focus over to the defense, which also
both starting defensive ends from 2008. Other than that, the Indians are experienced and talented at every position group. “We have a lot of experience on both sides of the ball,� said Kozerski, in his sixth year as Holy Cross head coach. “This is as much talent as I’ve ever had here.� The biggest challenge for Holy Cross will be overtaking district champ Newport Central Catholic. The Indians finished last season 4-8 overall but advanced to the second round of the Class 2A playoffs. The goal for 2009 is to make an even deeper postseason run. “We need to get past quality teams in the playoffs,� said Kozerski. “We feel like we’re ready to take our program to the next level.�

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.
