FORT THOMAS NarleyL. Haley returned to CarmelManor five months after hiswife Donna died there, thistime with a $25,000 check for anew Memory Care Wing set toopen next year.

Haley, of Fort Thomas,brought the $25,000 checkfrom the H.B., E.W. and F.R.Luther Charitable Foundationhe co-chairs with Fifth ThirdBank. Haley is a retired vicepresident and trust officer forFifth Third.

I enjoyed the time that mywife was here, Haley said.

His wife, Donna L. Haley,was under Carmel Manorscare for dementia for 15months until she died April 23,2015, he said.

Love is all over this build-ing, and I saw it exhibitedmany times over, he said.

The Carmelite Sisters, oper-ators of the skilled care homefor older adults, are in themidst of a $21.5 million 72,000-square-foot addition. The ex-isting 80,000-square-foot Car-mel Manor is set back along aprivate drive from Tower Parkand overlooks the Ohio River.

The sisters opened CarmelManor in 1949 after buying athree-story stone house builtaround 1867 by Eli Kinney, oneof Fort Thomas founders. Kin-

ney was first treasurer of TheDistrict of Highlands when in-corporated in 1867 by an act ofthe state legislature, accordingto the citys website. Residentsvoted to change the name to theCity of Fort Thomas in 1914.

The sisters fifth additionsince 1949 will add 30 morebeds to a skilled nursing unitand a 16-bed wing for both de-mentia and Alzheimers pa-tients. Creating a new rehabili-tation gym and front entranceare part of expansion plans.

When a request for $10,000came into the trust, Haley said

he thought we can do better. Haley presented a group of

the Carmelite Sisters with anoversize $25,000 check Sept. 29and then turned to Sister DianeMack, Carmel Manors admin-istrator.

And heres the real McCoy,$25,000, Haley said.

Mack said it was a privi-lege to care for Donna.

The Sisters are in the midstof a campaign to raise $3 mil-lion after borrowing the re-

Boost for CarmelManors expansion

EDGEWOOD WhenEmily Cahill walks by thenew play area at St. Eliza-beth Hospice Center,shes reminded of thewords of Mother Teresa.

I alone cannot changethe world, but I can cast astone across the waters tocreate many ripples.

The work that we do athospice each day wouldnot be possible withoutthe generous donations oftime and money fromthose in our community,said Cahill, hospice out-reach liaison. It isthrough charitable dona-tions that we are able toprovide support and careto all of our patients andtheir families as well ashow we plan to care forthe growing number ofpatients who will need ourservices in the future.

The new play area ispart of that care. It wouldnot have been possible if

not for Edgewood resi-dent Keli Catalano throw-ing the first stone. Catalo-no took the lead in collect-ing donations for the playarea last year.

I remember cominginto hospice to visit mymom and Id always see

children sitting in thewaiting areas. Some kidsspend all day visitingtheir loved ones, Catala-no said.

Thats hard on a kid.After my mother passedaway, I wanted to dosomething for this won-

derful place that had doneso much for her. When Ilooked at their wish listthe play area really stoodout to me.

Catalano used Go-FundMe as a startingpoint. She used her busi-ness, a humor-basedgreeting card businessColette Paperie in North-side, to offer incentivesfor certain donation lev-els. Soon local merchantsallowed her to distributefliers and St. Elizabethposted the effort in itsnewsletters. More than$39,000 was raised and theplay area was recently in-stalled.

Catalano said hermother, who was alwaysworking with youth in hercommunity, was her inspi-ration.

This was the perfectway to honor her at a placethat was so good to her,Catalano said. ColettePaperie began as a resultof choosing to quit my cor-porate job to move back

home to be with her short-ly before she was movedto this hospice center.Five years later, the cardsare in over 150 retailstores and weve justcome together to build aplayground. I like to thinkit all has everything to dowith her. At least, I hope itdoes.

Catalano said in theshort time that shestopped by to see the newplay area, several differ-ent children came andwent.

One was using it to lis-ten to his headphones, an-other just to play. Anotherstrolled around with hermom. It was definitelygetting used, she said.Hospice is a difficultplace. There are two sidesto the equation: the chil-dren and the patients. Thekids need a break, a dis-traction, and maybe theparents too, sometimes,from the difficult timetheyre having with theirloved ones in their final

days. The patients need tosee and hear children hav-ing fun outside, life mov-ing forward, happinessand fun still happening.

Hospice outreach liai-son Emily Cahill said theplay area is a wonderfuldonation that will con-tinue to entertain the chil-dren that visit our inpa-tient for many years tocome.

A playground allowschildren to safely expendenergy and entertainthemselves while theirfamily members are visit-ing hospice patients, shesaid. It provides an es-cape for the children whomay not be able to fullycomprehend what is go-ing on. Not only is theplayground an area forthe children, it also pro-vides the patients, as theytransition into acceptanceof passing on, the soothingenjoyment of hearing thelaughter and joy of sons,daughters and grandchil-dren.

New hospice play area creates a ripple effect

grade at Woodfill Elmen-tary School where parentsare encouraged to volun-teer, she said.

Teachers have made itvery easy to be involved inour childrens educationvia homework thats cen-tered around family activ-

ities, encouraged nightlyreading, and the opportu-nity to sign up for educa-tional extracurricularsthat enhance whats beingtaught in the classroom,Uhl said.

Fort Thomas has beenthe top ranked K-12 schooldistrict in Kentucky sever-al times based on state as-sessment results, said Su-perintendent Gene Kirch-ner. Fort Thomas has beenranked the top K-12 dis-trict for the past two years,Kirchner said.

The difference thisyear is that we also fin-ished ahead of AnchorageIndependent, which is aK-8 district, he said.

Kirchner said Fort

Thomas ranking is ashared community accom-plishment.

It is a direct reflectionof the culture of high ex-pectations which existshere, he said. We have in-credibly talented studentsand a top-notch teachingstaff. Add to that mix tre-mendous community sup-port and you have FortThomas IndependentSchools.

In Campbell CountySchools, the fourth inNorthern Kentucky rank-ing speaks volumes to thequality of staff, districtprocesses in place, and thecaliber of students, saidAssociate SuperintendentShelli Wilson.

Our focus in on studentengagement in the class-room for every child, Wil-son said. We know thismeans that every childmust be appropriatelychallenged and supportedin their learning.

Campbell County HighSchool was given KDEshighest recognition as aSchool of Distinction forthe first time.

The district takes a se-rious approach to data col-lection, analysis and con-tinuously evaluating stu-dent results in light ofwork being done by staff inall its schools, she said.

Campbell Countys fo-cus on counseling earnednational attention for thedistrict in February.

We attribute these ex-emplary scores to a dis-

trict-wide focus on rigor-ous and engaging class-rooms and a strong con-centration on the socialand emotional well-beingof all students, Wilsonsaid.

People look at schoolsystem quality when de-ciding where to live afterrelocating to the Cincin-nati area to work for Proc-ter & Gamble and othercompanies, said Seth Cut-ter, Campbell Countyseconomic development of-ficer.

Conversations withcompanies seeking to ei-ther locate in or expand inCampbell County inevita-bly always lead to work-force readiness and thetalent pipeline down to thehigh school level, Cuttersaid.

In Campbell Countywe have some of the bestschools and we have somethat continue to improve,he said. The countyschool district has come along way in just the lastdecade.

Newport, Bellevue andDayton in addition toCampbell County are alsoreally investing in coun-seling students to makesure they are on collegeand career ready tracks,Cutter said.

We are so excitedwhen we we see these re-sults, but we know testingdoesnt capture every-thing a school does, hesaid. We know they are in-dicators.

The first phase, includ-ing 30 new skilled nursingcare beds, is set to open byJanuary. Constructionstarted in August 2014.

Building a new reha-bilitation gym, lobby andMemory Care Wing willbegin in March, she said.

Carmel Manor already

Dementia and Alz-heimers patients will beserved by the MemoryCare Wing, said ScottJohnson, development di-rector at Carmel Manor.

Wedding BellsEveryone has a discharge goal when they come to Woodcrest Nursing & Rehabilitation and no two stories are the same. For Helen Lyons, the sound of wedding bells motivated her for a speedy recovery. Helen found herself raising her granddaughters after the loss of her son. When her oldest, Christina, started planning her wedding, she knew no one else was more perfect to walk her down the aisle. Just a few short weeks before the wedding, Helen developed a virus that resulted in a hospitalization and left her weak. She then came to Woodcrest Nursing & Rehabilitation to regain her strength as quickly as possible so she could proudly give Christina away at the wedding. After just one week of intense physical and occupational therapy, Helen is on her way home just in time to get her nails and hair done for the wedding.

FORT THOMAS Thomas Tom WoodrowJones Jr. has donated$250,000 to create an out-door plaza and revitalizeHighlands High SchoolsAvenue of Champions.

Jones asked for cre-

ation of the Ave-nue of Champions52 years ago whenhe was editor of theschool paper.

Jones donationto the Fort ThomasEducation Founda-tion, a nonprofit,will pay some of the finalcosts of 10 years worth of

renovations to theHighlands cam-pus scheduled toend this fall. Reno-vations, in fourdifferent phases,have cost FortThomas Indepen-dent Schools $38.3

million. After Jones donation,

the foundation is within$500,000 of meeting a goalset in 2001to raise $10 mil-lion for Highlands reno-vations. FTEF has alreadydonated $9 million to theeffort. At least 695 fam-ilies have donated.

Jones, valedictorian ofthe class of 1963, was edi-tor-in-chief of the Hilltop-per, the school newspaper,when he wrote an editori-al saying Highlands statechampionship teamsneeded to have their ownAvenue of Championssimilar to one at a localuniversity. The avenue,with state championshipteams denoted in an over-head sign, was later creat-ed.

Jones went on to gradu-ate third in his class at

Vanderbilt Universityand a 25-year career in thelegal division of the Proc-ter & Gamble Co.

Credit for a lifelonglove of learning and a suc-

cessful career goes to astrong foundation manyHighlands teachers pro-vided, Jones said in anFTEF news release.

FLORENCE When itsfall in Florence, its time forthe Bean Bash.

Now in its 42nd year, the an-nual fundraiser will take placefrom 1-8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 10,at Turfway Park, 7500 Turf-way Road, Florence.

Originally envisioned as apolitical fundraiser, the eventchanged to support charitablecommunity organizations inthe 1980s. Now, the Bean Bashsupports BAWAC, New Per-ceptions, Redwood and theSpecial Olympics.

Admission costs $5 each forthose over 12; younger chil-dren will be admitted free.

For information about do-nations, call 859-371-4410.

Earlier in the day, the BeanBash Dash 5K will take off at11:30 a.m., with registrationbeginning at 10 a.m.

When the main event be-gins at 1, visitors will feast onbeans and cornbread whilechecking out a variety of itemsin a silent auction. The after-noon includes live music, chil-drens games and a live auc-tion at 5:30 p.m.

Bean Bash Board PresidentDonnie Martin said this yearsevent is bigger than ever in acouple of ways.

Not only is this the firstevent to support four chari-ties, the fundraising takesplace during two additionalevents: the Texas HoldEm Po-ker Tournament at 6 p.m. Fri-day, Oct. 9, and a skeet shoot onOct. 24 at the Curtis GatesLloyd Wildlife ManagementArea in Crittenden.

All proceeds will be com-bined with the Bean Bash tosupport our charities, saidMartin. No one wants to playpoker at noon, so now its thenight before the Bean Bash.

Martin said people whohavent been to the event be-fore, even those who have vis-

ited the Turfway Race Track,may be surprised at the shin-digs size.

This is different, he said.Theres a lot of activity goingon. Its more like a festival, andyou get to see who the moneyis helping. It gives you a littleperspective on the lives youretouching.

New Perceptions is new tothe beneficiary roster thisyear, but its leader, Shawn Car-roll, has been a part of theBean Bash for most of his life.

Edgewood-based New Per-ceptions provides opportuni-ties for education, growth andemployment for people withspecial needs.

Carroll attended the firstBean Bash at Mid Valley PipeLine and began volunteeringwith the event 35 years ago.For him, it was a family affair.

My mom and her friendswanted all of us to learn aboutcommunity service at an earlyage, he said. We helped loadtoys at Christmas as teen-agers. We have stayed in-volved because of the wonder-ful community leaders thatembraced it and the first-classpeople that have set the pathfor the rest of us to follow.

Carroll said the event is awhos who of Northern Ken-tucky that also allows indi-viduals to interact with othersthat have different blessingsthan their own.

Forty years ago it was aperfectly accepted societalnorm that individuals with alow IQ could be sent away to aninstitution, Carroll said. TheBean Bash pioneers and manymoms and dads wanted some-thing different for their childand the community. The BeanBash has long been a greatgathering of friends, relativesand community leaders toshow support and create an in-clusive environment for all.

OCTOBER 8, 2015 ALEXANDRIA RECORDER 7ANEWS

There are two things about fall that Ilove: the slower pace of Mother Natureand the harvesting of fruits, veggies andherbs for the winter.

Right now I have comfrey and bayleaves drying on the coat hooks in thekitchen hall, and Im making a batch ofrose hip/seed pod jelly later today. Myfriends Bert and Bob, who live down theroad, brought me back huge hips theygathered on the shore in Maine. Chockfull of vitamins A and C, the jelly will bedelicious on scones.

So with all these chores I sometimes forgetabout what to fix for supper.

Thats when I turn to what I call my quickand easy recipe favorites.

For the next couple of weeks Ill be sharingthose since I know many of you are in the sameboat as me!

A fun way to preserve basilNo kidding, youll like this. Just take a freez-

er-proof container and make layers of grated/

shredded Parmesan cheese and basilleaves either chopped or not. End withParmesan.

The cool thing about this is that theyflavor each other and the basil doesnt getreal dark; it stays a light green. Use insoups, pastas, sauces and pizzas.

Leave table stuffed with quick pepper, mushroom recipesStuffed Bell Pepper Soup

I first tasted this in a local restaurant in Athens near OhioUniversity. I couldnt wait to make it at home. Dont be put off bythe list of ingredients. This goes together quickly.

Like eating a stuffed pepper, inside out!

1 generous pound ground beef (I use sirloin but any will do)1 generous cup chopped onion2 bell peppers, medium size, diced try red and yellow1 nice rib celery, chopped1 nice carrot, chopped2-3 teaspoons garlic, minced or more to taste1-2 teaspoons dried oregano or more to tasteChili powder to taste I like Buena Vida start with a couple

teaspoonsSoy sauce to taste start with a couple tablespoonsBeef broth start with about 6 cups and add more to taste14.5 ounces diced tomatoes1-1/2 cups or so, favorite pasta sauce such as marinara or

tomato basil1/2 cup brown or white rice I like brown

Shredded cheddar for garnishFilm pan with olive oil and brown beef along with onion,

peppers, celery, carrot, garlic and oregano. When beef is cooked,add everything but rice and cheddar. Bring to a gentle boil andcook about 10 minutes. Lower to a simmer, add rice, put lid on andcook until rice is done, about 15-20 minutes or so. Adjust sea-sonings and add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with cheddar.

Why this recipe is good for you:Beef contains usable protein, the veggies contain fiber vita-

mins, oregano is good for joint health, and brown rice is absorbedslowly into the body so you dont get a surge of carbs/sugar.

Note: You can use instant rice if you want.

My Favorite Stuffed Mushrooms

One of my most requested appetizers. What I love about this is you can double or triple the recipe

easily.

l pound fresh good-sized mushrooms, stems removed andsaved for later use

1 pound Italian sausage1/2 pound hot sausage8 ounces Mozzarella cheese

Take a thin cut off bottom of mushrooms (if necessary) sothey sit flat on baking sheet. Mix sausages and cheese together.Stuff mushrooms. Bake 350 degrees for 20-35 minutes dependingupon the size of mushrooms.

If you have extra stuffing left over freeze for up to twomonths.

Frequently, our office isasked about a power of At-torney and its applicability as acommonly used legal docu-ment. A Power of Attorney is alegal document that assignsanother person to take care ofyour affairs for you. The per-son assigned, your agent, istypically responsible for tak-ing care of financial or healthcare matters on your behalf.Like all other legal documents,a person must be competent toenter into and grant a Power ofAttorney.

The authority granted un-der any Power of Attorney willvary depending upon the exactlanguage used. However, aGeneral Power of Attorneyusually grants someone else

authority tohandle allmatters as ifthe persongranting thePower of At-torney wereconducting thebusiness them-selves. A Pow-er of Attorneyis required todeal with theproperty of the

other person using the utmostgood faith to handle mattersfor the best interests of theperson granting the Power ofAttorney.

If someone with a Power ofAttorney does not act in goodfaith or outside the scope of

the Power of Attorney, thatperson may be accountable fora violation of fiduciary duty.Any civil action brought for aviolation must be made withinfive years of the breach.

The person given the Powerof Attorney is not required touse any of his own funds orassets for the other person, butmerely to deal with the otherpersons property in that per-sons best interests. If there isto be any use of the funds forthe personal debts of the per-son appointed or others, thereshould be authority to do suchin writing signed by the persongranting the Power of Attor-ney.

Furthermore, if the personperforming the duties as Pow-

er of Attorney is to be compen-sated a fee for rendering thoseservices, then there should besomething in writing to thateffect signed by the one whohas appointed the other personas Power of Attorney.

One very important reasonto grant someone a Power ofAttorney over your financial orhealth care needs, is to avoidthe comparatively cumber-some process of going througha guardianship proceedingshould it be necessary to placea trusted individual in chargeof your affairs. A Power ofAttorney easily circumventsthis process.

A common question ouroffice receives is when does aPower of Attorney end. A Pow-

er of Attorney ends or is termi-nated in a variety of instances.Some of those instances in-clude: upon death; upon grant-ing by the Courts of a guard-ianship and conservatorship;and upon termination of thePower of Attorney by the per-son who granted the authority.

I hope this information isinteresting and helpful. If youhave any topics you would liketo have covered in this column,please contact my office bye-mail at countyattor-ney@campbellcountyky.org, byphone at 491-7700 or by regularmail addressed to 319 York St.,Newport, KY 41071.

Last weeks questionWhat moves do the Cincinnati

Reds have to make during theoff-season to improve for 2016?

Move to Dayton.William Long

A new manager, Price, didhis best. The owners got rid oftheir high-priced pitchers,there is nothing left this year.

Janlyn Martin Loomer

Locate Dusty Baker, andbeg him to come back.

C.S.

Get a new GM. And a big-ger checking account.

M.E.

What should the Reds do toget better next year? Easy.follow the Tigers. Wait, maybethat is not such a good ideaafter all. Alternatively, theyshould always end up withmore points than the otherteam.

M.J.F.

The Reds were picked tofinish last this year and theysucceeded. They dumped fourstarting pitchers, saving mil-lions of dollars. The only start-ing pitcher they kept (Bailey)was out for the year. They needa left fielder who can drive in100 runs. Cozart and Mesoracowill be back and add a lot. Theyneed Jay Bruce to shine. Butbest of all they have a lot ofyoung pitchers who just couldsurprise Cincinnati fans.

According to Paul L. Wha-len, (Sept. 24) voters should bewary of Matt Bevin becauseother Republicans have com-mitted transgressions.

The Democrats fought forslavery during the Civil War,interned Japanese citizensduring World War II, and dis-pensed some real old testa-ment retribution to the women

and children of Waco, Texas.Using Mr. Whalens guilt byassociation logic, I should casta jaundiced eye toward JackConway.

Thankfully, the vast major-ity of voters do not agree withMr. Whalen, and judge eachcandidate on their own merits.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Democrat Jack Conway, aDemocrat, wants to be Ken-tuckys next governor. Whathave Kentuckys childrendone to deserve such a pun-ishment?

Conway wants to expandpublic preschool education toall 3- and 4-year-olds. I knowhis plan sounds good andfeels good to low-informationvoters, but the facts provethat Conways strategydoesnt work. Children andtaxpayers will lose andunions will win.

After 50 years, taxpayershave invested $200 billionon the failed Head Start Pro-gram. Thats not my conclu-sion. Thats the conclusion offour reports produced by thefederal governments Healthand Human Services (HHS)and the General Accountabil-ity Office (GAO). The lasttwo were issued by the Oba-ma administration.

In 1985, HHS found, Inthe long run, cognitive andsocio-emotional test scores offormer Head Start studentsdo not remain superior tothose of disadvantaged chil-dren who did not attend HeadStart.

In 2000, The GAO statedthat there is no conclusiveevidence on whether chil-dren having school readinessskills stemmed from being inHead Start.

In 2010, HHS released its

most exten-sive analysisof the HeadStart Pro-gram on first-graders. Itfound therewas no bene-fit to first-graders whoattendedHead Start.

In 2012,HHS report-

ed that Head Start had noimpact on third-grade chil-drens cognitive abilities,social-emotional develop-ment, child health outcomesand has failed in its schoolreadiness effort. Teachersinvolved in the study report-ed, Strong evidence of anunfavorable impact on theincidence of childrens emo-tional symptoms.

Now it gets worse. Demo-crats and their union puppet-masters have controlled Ken-tucky education forever. Sohow have Kentucky studentsperformed?

ACT Inc. is an indepen-dent educational organiza-tion that for the last 50 yearsmeasures college and careerreadiness. Heres how theydefine college readiness abenchmark score is the mini-mum score needed on anACT subject-area test toindicate a 50 percent chanceof obtaining a B or higher or

about a 75 percent chance ofobtaining a C or higher in thecorresponding credit-bearingcollege course. That seemsreasonable. They report Ken-tuckys overall educationsystem is a disaster.

In 2015, after spendingbillions of dollars of taxpayermoney, 79 percent of Ken-tucky high school graduatesare not ready for college.What? Would you relocateyour business to Kentuckybased on those stats? Wouldyou board an airplane where79 percent of pilots are notprepared to fly? Me neither!

We need a governor whowill promote vouchers forKentuckys parents. SinceKentucky mothers have theright to terminate an un-wanted child, its time forKentucky parents to have theright to terminate theirchilds unwanted school.

Its time for pro-choice toapply to all mothers, not justthose who choose to assassi-nate their babies. Its timefor education freedom tocome to Kentucky. Doesntthat sound so American?

If Whitney Houston wascorrect and children are ourfuture, we need to keep themaway from Democrat JackConways failed educationstrategies.

This season marks yet an-other new beginning for North-ern Kentucky Universityswomens soccer program.

The Norse are off to a terrif-ic start in their inaugural sea-son in the Horizon League.NKU is 7-3, 3-0 in HorizonLeague play. Last year, in theAtlantic Sun Conference, theNorse finished 9-8-3 (3-3-1) andadvanced to the semifinals ofthe conference tournament. Af-ter the elevation to Division I in2012, the Norse steadily im-proved in their three seasons inthe A-Sun before making themove to the Horizon this year.

Were just trying to get a lit-tle better each season, saidhead coach Bob Sheehan.

The reclassification to Di-vision I is not easy. Its a proc-ess. We dont want to becomestagnant or regress. Our play-ers understand that. Its nicethat were continuing to buildmomentum.

The momentum has beendriven by a solid mix of experi-enced veterans and an infusionof talented young players.Sophomore forwards Macy

Hamblin (Fairfield) and Jessi-ca Frey (Seton) have been fin-ishers, leading the team withfour goals apiece. Hamblin hasfive assists, while Frey is nextwith four.

I think we all bring some-thing different to the table,Hamblin said.

Fifth-year seniors KelseyZwergel (Mercy) and KelseyLaumann (Oak Hills) havebounced back from injuries andare making the most of their ex-tra year of eligibility, providingleadership on and off the pitch.

Senior Maria Silbersack(Bishop Brossart) and fresh-man Taylor Spaulding key thedefense. They have helpedgoalkeeper Brooke Schocker tofour shutout victories this sea-son.

We are always looking forways to improve our chemistryand build our team culture,Frey said. Everyones so wel-coming to the younger players.Everyones so supportive andwe all work well together.

Brossart will play CalvaryChristian in the 37th Districtsemifinals Oct. 13 in the tour-ney at Campbell County HighSchool. The winner moves on tothe district final and earns aberth in the 10th Region Tour-nament.

Every team we meet in thepostseason will be good,Schaeffer said. The differ-ence will be the ability to finishour chances.

Brossart posted a 10-2-4 rec-ord this year, the last game be-ing a 1-1 tie with Highlands Oct.3. There was one regulationloss, to 10th Region rival Mont-gomery County (3-0), to startthe season. The other loss wasto Kentucky Country Day inpenalty kicks in the semifinalsof the All A Classic state tour-nament Sept. 26.

Bishop Brossart scored 19 un-answered points to beat Ludlow income-from-behind fashion andmove its record to 6-0 for the firsttime in school history Fridaynight at Ludlow.

Senior running back Frank Ce-trulo, senior fullback LoganSchoulthies and senior quarter-back Craig Pfefferman combinedfor 175 rushing yards and all threeBrossart touchdowns to lead theMustangs back after falling be-hind 13-0 in the first quarter. Withthe win, Brossart moved to 2-5 all-time against Ludlow. The Mus-tangs only other win over the Pan-thers came in 2010, 35-13.

This is unbelievable, Cetrulosaid. Weve now had more wins inmy senior year than the rest of myfirst three years playing footballhere. The turnaround that Coach(Paul) Wiggins has helped bring,and I think the senior class havehelped bring, has been amazing.

The game was played in asteady rain that was noticeable,factor in the first half. The twoteams combined for six fumblesbefore halftime, but all six wererecovered by the offense.

In the second half, one fumblechanged everything.

It marked the 10th fumble ofthe game when Ludlow senior Jer-emiah Martin was spun around ona hard hit and Brossart seniorBrett Martin dove on the loosefootball at the Ludlow 8-yard line.Pfefferman ran it in for a touch-down on the very next play to putBrossart ahead for good, 19-13,with 11:11 to play in the fourthquarter. Pfefferman finished with

ateam-high 68 yards on 18 carries.I was just trying to keep the

outside and I saw the ball fly up inthe air, Martin said. I justreached in and grabbed it, and be-fore I knew it everyone wasreaching in and pulling me up.

That was the biggest play ofmy career right there. Coming upbig in the end feels really good.Its indescribable how Im feelingright now.

Ludlow received a final chanceto come back with 1:21 to playwhen the Panthers recovered afumble, the 13th and final of thegame, at the Panthers 14. Howev-er, the game ended with Brossartsenior Nathan See interceptingLudlow sophomore Justin Black-burns Hail Mary pass at his own25 as time expired.

After digging a 13-0 hole, Bros-sart came storming back in thesecond quarter. A 48-yard com-pletion from senior quarterback

Craig Pfefferman to junior KoryQuitter setup a 4-yard touchdownrun for Cetrulo.

Then Brossart senior MitchellReis sack of Blackburn on 4th-and-7 at midfield for a turnover ondowns kept the momentum on theMustangs side, and Schoulthies24-yard run up the middle tookBrossart into the redzone. Cetruloscored his second touchdown on a3-yard run to bring the Mustangswithin one before halftime, 13-12,after a blocked extra-point at-tempt.

We just knew that we gave upbig plays, and we knew we couldcome back from that, said Cetru-lo, who finished with 46 yards andtwo touchdowns on 13 carries.

After Pfeffermans fourthquarter score to put his teamahead for good, the Mustangs putthe game away with a 12-playdrive midway through the quar-ter that melted nearly five of the

final six minutes off the clock asCetrulo, Pfefferman, andSchoulthies fought for toughyardage to keep the chains mov-ing. Schoulthies finished thegame with 61 yards on just sevencarries.

It was real tough, Cetrulosaid of the wet conditions. Everyplay guys were ripping at the ball,but we just managed to hang ontothe ball when it mattered. We hada big fumble at the end there, butmade up for it.

Brossart plays at BrackenCounty 7:30 p.m. Friday to startdistrict play in 1A.

Newport lost 69-24 to Beech-wood.

Senior running back Tyree Bol-den accounted for all of Newportstouchdowns, including an 80-yardtouchdown for their first score ofthe game. He rushed for 189 yardson 16 carries.

Dee Joseph had a fumble re-covery on defense and RyanOchoa posted nine tackles.

By Steven WuzubiaHealth Correspondent;

Clearwater, Florida: Dr. Meir Shinitzky, Ph.D., is a former visiting professor at Duke University, recipient of the prestigious J.F. Kennedy Prize and author of more than 200 international scientific papers on human body cells. But now hes come up with what the medical world considers his greatest accomplishment A vital compound. so powerful, its reported to repair even regrow damaged brain cells. In laymans terms Bring back your memory power. And leave you feeling more focused and clear-headed than you have in years!

Dr. Shinitsky explains this phenomenon in simple terms; Science has shown when your brain nutrient levels drop, you can start to experience memory problems and overall mental fatigue. Your ability to concentrate and stay focused becomes compromised. And gradually, a mental fog sets in. It can damage every aspect of your life. Not only do brain cells die but they become dysfunctional as if they begin to fade away as we age. This affects our ability to have mental clarity and focus and impacts our ability to remember things that were easy for us to do in our 20s and 30s.

Scientists think the biggest cause of brain deterioration in older people is the decreased functioning of membranes and molecules that surround the brain cells. These really are the transmitters that connect the tissues or the brain cells to one another that help us with our sharp memory, clear thinking and mental focus, even our powers to reason well. When we are in our 20s according to Dr. Shinitzky our body produces key substances like phosphatidylserine and phosphatidic acidunfortunately they are believed to be critical essential nutrients that just fade away with age, much like our memories often do leading to further mental deterioration.

As we get older it becomes more frustrating as there is little comfort when you forget names misplace your keysor just feel a little confused. And even though your foggy memory gets laughed off as just another senior moment, its not very funny when it keeps happening to you.

The Missing Link is Found and Tested

Its hard to pronounce thats for sure, but it certainly appears from the astounding clinical research that this one vital nutrient phosphatidylserine (PS) can really make a huge difference in our mental wellness. 17 different double blind studies with placebo controlled groups have been involved in the clinical research of PS with patients between the ages of 55-80 years of age. Periodically the researchers gave these patients memory and cognitive tests and the results were simply amazing:

1) PS patients outperformed placebo patients in All 5 Tests - 100% Success Rate

2) After only 45 days there was a measurable improvement in mental function

3) After 90 days, there was an impressive and amazing improvement in mental function

The group taking phosphatidylserine, not only enjoyed sharper memory, but listen to this they were also more upbeat and remarkably more happy. In contrast, the moods of the individuals who took the placebo (starch pill), remained unaffected.no mental or mood improvement at all.

Vital Nutrient Reverses Scatter Brain

This incredible PS nutrient feeds your brain the vital nutrient it needs to stay healthy... PS now has the attention of some of the

worlds most prominent brain experts. It has been written up and published in leading science and medical journals and its findings have electrified the International scientific community.

Earth-Shaking SciencePublished, clinical reports show

replenishing your bodys natural supply of Phosphatidylserine, not only helps sharpen your memory and concentration but also helps perk you up and put you in a better mood. PS as it turns out also helps to reduce everyday stress and elevate your mood by lowering your bodys production of the hormone cortisol. When cortisol levels are too high for too long you experience fatigue, bad moods and weakness. This drug-free brain-boosting formula enters your bloodstream fast (in as little as thirty minutes).

Officially Reviewed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration: Lipogen PS Plus is the ONLY Health Supplement that has a Qualified Health Claim for both Cognitive Dysfunction and Dementia.
