It will be a showdown of almost epic proportions – lawyer vs. cop. Independence attorney Eric “Bulldog” Deters, well-known for his hard-to-miss personality and alleged police misconduct cases, will engage in a mixed martial arts cage fight with Kenton County police Sergeant Larry “K-9” Shelton Aug. 29 at the Dearborn County Fairgrounds. The fight, promoted by Intimidation Cage Fighting of Cincinnati, will be three three-minute rounds on the same bill with four cops vs. four convicted felons. The fight is not endorsed by the police department. “It’s almost like the ultimate good guy, bad guy fight,” said Deters, who has dubbed his opponent the “Poodle.” “Who’s the bad guy? I’m the bad guy in this. I’m the big mouth lawyer he’s the good guy because he’s the police officer,” Deters chuckled. The self-described “laid-back” Shelton gets a laugh out of Deters’ nickname. “Of all the names. I look nothing like a poodle, I’m bald. But, hey, you know what? If it draws a crowd in there and gets us more money for charity, I don’t care what he calls me.” The ensuing battle, proceeds from which Deters plans to donate to disabled veterans and Shelton the Make-A-Wish foundation, came about when Deters, a talk show host for 700 WLW, joked on air about fighting a police officer

The Intimidation Cage Fighting of Cincinnati’s fight between attorney Eric Deters and Kenton police officer Larry Shelton will take place at 8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 29, at the Dearborn County Fairgrounds in Indiana. Tickets can be purchased from Shelton, who will donate his proceeds to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, by calling 513-720-2525 or by calling Eric Deters, who will donate his proceeds to disabled veterans, at 250-2527.

in a cage match. “To my surprise, no police officer accepted the challenge,” said the 5-foot-8-inch tall, 46-year-old Deters. That changed when Shelton, who is 34 years old and 5 feet 11 inches tall, was chosen by the Kenton FOP to face off with Deters. Both men have been training hard since the challenge was issued and both say they’re in the “best shape” of their lives. Deters has practiced martial arts since the age of 19 while Shelton has back-

ground in boxing and has experience sparring with professional fighters. Although ticket proceeds are set to go to local charities, Deters and Shelton are not above some trash talking. “He needs to remember that I’m older and wiser and used to high-risk situations and to not hyperventilate and pass out,” said Deters, who claims he will knock out Shelton in 30 seconds. “That won’t happen,” Shelton replied, shaking his head. “Out of the two of us, I’m the one used to

getting hit in the face.” Whoever wins, the two have agreed to be good sports about the outcome. “This is basically for charity,” Shelton said. “I told him I would have fought anybody for Make-AWish.” As for Deters, he knows it’s going to “be a tough fight, but I think there will be good sportsmanship. If he’s helpless, you’re not going to see me do anything to seriously injure him.” Besides his work as a police officer, Shelton is also a practicing lawyer, something that makes Deters smirk a little. “There wasn’t a real full-blooded cop to fight me,” he laughed. “I think people who either love me or hate me should come out and see the fight.” Shelton takes Deters’ jibes in stride. “They had to have somebody that if he sues me I can sue him back,” he laughed. “I just want to see a good showing.”

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 their favorites ranging from American 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 fam-

For more information on Barleycorn’s Restaurant, visit barleycorns.com • 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 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 Furni ture 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.”

Officials to dance the night away at soiree By Regan Coomer rcoomer@nky.com

Taylor Mill’s mayor and commission won’t just be pinning corsages on their wives Aug. 29. The five men will also have “dates” to the Taylored With Time Senior Program’s Summer Soiree, an evening of dinner and dancing. A first dance and dinner with the mayor and commission were auctioned off the week before the event, which is being held to raise money for the city’s senior program. “I thought it would be a pretty good thing. My wife went along with it, otherwise I wouldn’t have done it,” joked Commissioner Dan Murray. Murray said he has no

problem cutting a rug on the dance floor, but his date has already informed him she doesn’t intend to dance: “I can dance slow dances pretty well,” he said. “But we’ll have a good conversation if not dancing.” Mayor Mark Kreimborg was just glad somebody bid on him: “It sounded like a lot of fun so I decided to go along with it and see if we made any money at all,” he chuckled. “I think it will be a fun time for everybody.” The soiree is just $25 a person for ages 21 and up. That includes a baked ham or Tuscan chicken dinner and bottled beer, wine and soft drinks. A cash bar will be available for mixed drinks. A DJ will also be onhand for music and

requests. City Administrator Jill Bailey sees the night not only as a fundraiser, but also as a way to recruit new members for Taylored with Time. “Taylor Mill is such a close-knit community. People grew up here, raised their families here. There are a lot of deep roots and ties with the community. This gives them an opportunity to visit old friends and make new friends,” she said. The Summer Soiree will be held from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday Aug. 29 at The Marquise Banquet & Conference Center in Wilder, 1016 Towne Drive. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased at the city building, 5225 Taylor Mill Road. Call 581-3234.

“I wasn’t so sure about law enforcement as a career when I was younger, but now I’m pretty much sure about it,” he said. “I just like helping people out and that’s basically what the job is – trying to solve problems.” Mathena said there’s a lot of “brothership” in police departments, something he likes being a part of as an explorer. “I can definitely tell they are supporting each other no matter what happens,” he said.

The group will work with area development districts, local governments, school districts, as well as business and civic groups to create

events across the commonwealth to celebrate this historic occasion. The commission can also recommend temporary or permanent improvements to the Capitol grounds to make them more amenable to activities associated with the centennial anniversary.

He is chairman of the Senate State and Local Government Committee and serves on the Agriculture Committee, Licensing, Occupations, and Administrative Regulations Committee, and the Transportation Committee.

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.

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.

Students awarded UK scholarships Three students from Kenton County have been awarded a Commonwealth Scholarship to attend the University of Kentucky this fall. The Commonwealth Scholarship has a total value of $10,000 and is distributed in $2,500 increments during the student’s four years of undergraduate study. The recipients from Kenton

County who have been awarded Commonwealth Scholarships are: Erin Hall, from Simon Kenton High School, daughter of Joe and Jill Hall; Tuan (Tony) Si Le, from St. Henry District High School, son of Hien Le and Myle Tran; and Andrew James Malott, from Simon Kenton High School, son of Gregory J. Malott.

Intrusive events are a second source of life crises. Too many to number, they include accidents, serious illness, a loved personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, natural catastrophes, a miscarriage, a terminated relationship, losing our job, a wayward 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 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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.

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 donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

Mastering the art of salmon grilling

With all the hype about the m o v i e “Julie & Julia,” anyone who has what we Rita call a “Julia Heikenfeld C h i l d ” is Rita’s kitchen story sharing it. So today I’m sharing mine. I was under deadline for this column and the subject was cooking with wine. 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 elderly lady.” 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 Child and me. We talked for a total of 30 minutes, 10 of which was professional and the rest was 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

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

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 studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; progress, with the harder standards requiring

more specific assessments by the teachers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have pretty specific things weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for to see how the students is progressing toward meeting that standard, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where this system really makes sense,â&#x20AC;? said Gillis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;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

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, secondgrade 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

Last week’s question

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 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.

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 consis-

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.

Dixie Heights, 19, vs. NewCath, 7

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. The win will likely move Dixie Heights, ranked No. 9 in the preseason coaches’ poll, ahead of preseason No. 7 NewCath.

Kenton County boys’ soccer strikes By James Weber Soccer season is striking interest in Northern Kentucky. Here is a look at Kenton County boys’ teams:

Victor Amelang and Andrew Moran are skilled returning midfielders. Aaron Hatfield is the top returning defender. The Cougars are 1-1 this year.

Covington Catholic

The Colonels were 10-54 last year and 10th Region runner-up. Michael Huffmyer is the top returning scorer with 11 goals and 10 assists a year ago. Trey Evans had seven goals and three assists. Garrett Justice, Tyler Stewart and Matt McDonald

The Trojans were 5-9 last season. Justin Simms had 10 goals last year and is a fourth-year varsity player. Sam Powers is the team’s best defender and Nathan Hales a top marking back. Grant Berberich returns in goal for head coach Adam Iadipaolo. The Trojans started 1-1 this year.

Dixie Heights

The Colonels were 7-122 last year and district runner-up. They are 1-2 in 2009. Seniors Cody Landrum (midfield), Brandon Catchen (keeper) and Jon Shreck (marking back) are twoyear starters.

tently 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.

Eagles, who were 7-9-1 last year. Junior Alec Robbins had 22 goals last year to be one of Northern Kentucky’s top scorers. Matt Kees returns in goal with a 1.72 GAA average last year. Senior Chadd Allender returns in the back, and Dexter Morgan is a top returner in the midfield. “This year’s team will be very talented and skilled with a range of older and younger players all determined to end the season with a bang and some shiny hardware to go along with it,” Seibert said. “A great group of seniors will be counted on to lead a very talented group of younger players to a successful season. The new coaching staff has their eyes set on a very successful first season at Scott with many, many more to come.” The Eagles began the year 2-0. Robbins had three of the team’s six goals in the wins.

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.

Event celebrates recovery month Northern Kentucky People Advocating Recovery (PAR), will be hosting its fifth celebration of recovery at Goebel Park in Covington on Sept. 19 from noon until 3 p.m. Free food and entertainment will be provided. This event is part of the 20th anniversary of National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month, recognizing people in recovery from substance use disorders, as well as their families, friends, and treatment providers. The entire community is welcome. Every September, Recovery Month events remind us

about the reality of the disease of addiction, the importance of making treatment accessible, and the advantages of communication and education, which can open doors to treatment, support, and long-term recovery. This year's theme, Together We Learn, Together We Heal, promotes the need for better awareness about addiction and educates the entire community about the importance of access to treatment and recovery tools. This campaign acknowledges the importance of community awareness and

encourages those in need to seek treatment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By working together as a community, we can foster awareness of addiction, treatment, and recovery and encourage those in Northern Kentucky to seek the services they need,â&#x20AC;? said Mary Pat Behler, past president of Northern Kentucky PAR. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This family-friendly event is an opportunity to celebrate the lives of those in recovery and provide information about treatment and recovery support programs available to people in need and their loved ones and friends.â&#x20AC;? This fifth annual Northern Kentucky PAR Recovery Cel-

ebration promises to be an event full of fun activities for the entire family; great rock and roll music by English Channel, the only Cincinnati band providing the music of a generation, comic relief from the man voted â&#x20AC;&#x153;Funniest Person in all of Northern Kentucky,â&#x20AC;? crafts and games for the children, corn hole, and door prizes. Everyone will receive a â&#x20AC;&#x153;goody bagâ&#x20AC;? at registration.

There is a joke among friends here, “It’s a Phoenix that has risen from the ashes. ”When Charles and Allison Hahn Sobieck purchased the property at 502 North Main Street (in Somerset, Kentucky), there was a lot of work to be done, to say the least. With the vision of a B & B and a home in ruins, there were little choices. The dilapidated structure was removed, then reconstructed as it had been in the 1850’s. It’s a brand new home. A bit of an unusual concept for a bed and breakfast. “We reconstructed the home from scratch. This gave us the benefit of designing every amenity possible along the way, ”said Allison Sobieck, owner. Every room is equipped with many amenities you don’t often find in a traditional bed and breakfast, but rather a fine hotel. Every room has a full sized closet with a pair of micro-fiber robes hanging in them, 400- count Egyptian cotton sheets, cable TV with DVD players, queen sized beds, and a host of other things. For instance, 2 rooms have gas fireplaces and 3 rooms have whirlpool tubs. We even offer many add on amenities such as massage, dinner, flowers, etc…
