county.Pendery said before Ho-

rine’s departure became well-known publicly the county hadbeen seeking out a replace-ment.

Elberfeld said he will workeven more closely with Horinethan he has in the past in thenext two months while also

helping find a replacement forthe finance director job.

“He is an outstanding bossand mentor, and I’m lookingforward to learning as much asI can from him, and I just hopeI’m able to do the job as well ashe did,” he said of Horine.

Starting work in the new joband working with all the coun-ty’s department directors issomething Elberfeld said he isexcited about.

ALEXANDRIA — Craig P. Sor-rell raised his hand and sworeto uphold the U.S. and stateconstitutions as he recited theoath of office in front of Camp-bell County Fiscal Court Jan. 5.

Campbell County hired Sor-rell to be the sixth chief of theCampbell County Police De-partment since 1956.

Sorrell said he has spent 23years with Lexington’s policedepartment after retiring from20 years of U.S. Army servicewhere he was last based at FortKnox. He spent time in an engi-neering unit and as a militarypolice officer during his timein the Army. Most recently,Sorrell was commander of theTraining Academy for Lexing-ton.

“My wife works for a com-pany in Cincinnati and wemoved up this way,” Sorrellsaid.

For Lexington, Sorrellworked in patrol, investiga-tions, narcotics and forensicservices.

“I had a pretty lengthy ca-reer there in a lot of diverse po-sitions,” he said.

Judge-executive Steve Pen-dery spoke about the status ofpolice in the community afterhe swore Sorrell into officeduring the county’s Jan. 5meeting in Alexandria.

“In the last couple of monthsacross the nation, you’ve seenall sorts of controversy andcommentary in regards to the

service of policing our commu-nity,” Pendery said.

From the outside it’s hard tosort out what is going on insome of those situations, hesaid.

“And I just want to assurethe community on behalf of theFiscal Court and I’m sure all of

you that in this community thatthere’s not a whole lot of doubtof what we think of the workthat is required of our policedepartment and where our loy-alties and our interests lie,”Pendery said.

“It’s very difficult work, it’snot just complex, it is some-

times dangerous,” Penderycontinued. “And for those thatgo into harm’s way for our sakewe are committed to help anyway we can. And the full re-sources of this community andour county will be there to backup that promise.”

Sorrell replaced Keith Hill,

who retired Aug. 1 as the de-partment’s fifth chief. Lt. Col.Todd Straman, a 23-year veter-an of the department, hadserved as the interim chief.

Pendery announced Stra-man was moving back into thedepartment’s assistant chiefjob.

FRANKFORT — FixingKentucky’s expandingheroin epidemic was thestate government’s maintopic throughout the firstweek of the opening ses-sion, with the state Sen-ate unanimously passinga heroin bill Jan. 8.

SB 5, which was spon-sored by Sen. ChrisMcDaniel, R-Taylor Mill,

would ex-pandtreatmentand in-creasepenaltiesfor traf-fickers. Itincludesmore than

$13 million for treat-ment, but more than halfof that would go to coun-ty jails to treat prisoners.

It was the first billpassed by the Republi-can-controlled Senate, ina symbolic move thatwas geared at the Demo-cratic-controlled House,which failed to pass simi-lar legislation last year.

“I’m proud, for thesecond year in a row, thatthis body, in a bipartisanmanner, has passed thisas its first piece of legis-lation,” said Senate ma-jority leader DamonThayer, R-Georgetown.“This isn’t going to com-pletely cure the problem... but we need to send the

dealers the message thatKentucky is closed forbusiness.”

There are at leasteight pieces of heroinlegislation introduced inthe House as well. Thatbody is expected to takeup heroin in the next ses-sion, scheduled to starton Feb. 3.

The passage came aday after Gov. Steve Be-shear called for more ac-tion to ease the grip ofthe drug in his final Stateof the Commonwealthspeech Jan. 7.

“Heroin is a big prob-lem in Kentucky, and it isonly growing worse ev-ery day,” Beshear said,citing statistics such asoverdose deaths and ris-ing prosecutions.

“We need legislationthat expands access todrugs that immediatelyreverse the effects ofoverdoses, that protectslaw enforcement and

health care workersfrom needle sticks, thatexpands access to treat-ment, and that protectsusers from prosecutionfor minor drug chargeswhen they call 911to helpan overdose victim.”

McDaniel’s bill has as-pects that cover all thosesubjects. Senate Bill 5would provide an addi-tional $13 million to ad-diction treatment, with$7.5 million going tocounty jails to get prison-ers into treatment.

SB5 would absolvefirst responders from li-ability from administer-ing naloxone, a drug thatcounteracts the affectsof heroin for overdosevictims. Although the billwould increase penaltiesfor heroin traffickers,several senators ques-tioned what the lineshould be between a userand trafficker.

Heroin bill sailsthrough state SenateBy James Pilcherjpilcher@enquirer.com

A group of about 130 friends and family members ofaddicts, as well as recovering addicts, , traveled to FrankfortJan. 6 to voice their concern over the lack of legislation andgovernment assistance for the heroin epidemic.

The Carnegie Foundation forthe Advancement of Teachinghas selected Northern Ken-tucky University to receive its2015 Community EngagementClassification. NKU earned theclassification in 2006, the firstyear it was offered, and thismarks the foundation’s first re-classification year.

“This designation affirmsNKU’s longstanding commit-ment to community engage-ment and its demonstrablebenefits to student success,”said NKU President GeoffreyMearns.

“What makes this achieve-ment particularly noteworthy isthat we did not earn it becauseof one program – it reflects adepth of programming and aninstitutional culture wherecommunity engagement is val-ued within our classrooms andbeyond.”

Transdisciplinary programsfrom across NKU’s campus

were considered in the reviewprocess. The Mayerson StudentPhilanthropy Project trans-forms NKU classes into boardsof philanthropists, evaluatinglocal need and assessing non-profits before distributing realfunds to help address a widerange of regional challenges.

The Center for Applied In-formatics draws upon studentand faculty expertise to help or-ganizations locally and beyondmeet the challenges of the infor-matics age. Additional pro-grams within the fine arts, sci-ences, education, business, law,and health professions werealso considered.

Colleges and universitieswith an institutional focus oncommunity engagement wereinvited to apply for the classifi-cation in 2006 as part of an ex-tensive restructuring of TheCarnegie Classification of Insti-tutions of Higher Education.

Unlike the foundation’s other

classifications that rely on na-tional data, this is an “elective”classification – institutions par-ticipated voluntarily by submit-ting required materials de-scribing the nature and extentof their engagement with thecommunity.

“The importance of this elec-tive classification is borne outby the response of so many cam-puses that have demonstratedtheir deep engagement with lo-cal, regional, national, and glob-al communities,” said John Salt-marsh, director of the New Eng-land Resource Center for High-er Education. “These arecampuses that are improvingteaching and learning, produc-ing research that makes a dif-ference in communities, and re-vitalizing their civic and aca-demic missions.”

A listing of the institutionsthat hold the Community En-gagement Classification can befound at http://nerche.org.

Red cards, about thesize of regular busi-ness cards, hungfrom the branches ofthe Christmas tree

along with the usual ornamentsand lights. Written on eachcard was a description: back-pack, books, pillow, toothpaste,deodorant, bath towels, bikehelmet.

The tree had been set up inthe customer waiting room ofthe Mercedes-Benz dealershipin Fort Mitchell. Over the pre-vious weeks employees hadtaken cards with them andreturned with the correspond-ing presents. On the last Fri-day before Christmas, theydelivered the presents to theChildren’s Home of NorthernKentucky in Devou Park.

“The items collected here atMercedes-Benz will help ustake care of the boys that wecare for,” said Rick Wurth, thehome’s chief executive officer.“It’s not all about toys andgadgets, but more about thetrue needs of operating a

home.”The project, known as the

Giving Tree Project, was inits third holiday season. Thisyear nearly 20 businessesparticipated, including Mer-cedes-Benz of Fort Mitchell.

The Children’s Home ofNorthern Kentucky offers aresidential treatment pro-gram for boys between theages of 7 and 17. “We serve, inboth community-based and inresidential care, over 400children a year,” Wurth said.

“The majority of the kidswho are living with us havebeen removed from their ownhomes by the state of Ken-tucky because they werebeing abused or neglected,”added Anne Sturgis, thehome’s development man-ager.

Don Paparella, generalmanager at Mercedes-Benzof Fort Mitchell, was happythat his entire staff partici-pated in the tree project.

“What made me feel goodis that it was actually myemployees that asked if theycould do the Giving Tree forthe Children’s Home,” he

shared. “They said, ‘We lovedit last year and we want to getinvolved again this year.’”

Some of them even wentbeyond the home’s wish list.“One of my staff came intomy office and handed me a$200 Visa gift card. I said tohim ‘It’s too much money.’ Hesaid, ‘Nope, I want to do it.’”

“It’s nice being as involvedas we are in the community,”said Sable Bender, the dealer-ship’s social media manager.“It makes you really appreci-ate what you have. You’re inthe position to give back andhelp others.”

“A lot of the clothingitems, a lot of the toys (wereto) be distributed on Christ-mas morning by our staff tothe kids,” Wurth explained.“Then the household goodswill be distributed to the fiveresidential care centers thatwe operate, and they’ll beused throughout the year.”

Though Christmas haspassed, it’s never too late toparticipate. Check out thehome’s wish list atwww.chnk.org/wish-list orcall 859-292-4135.

JANUARY 15, 2015 • CCF RECORDER • A7NEWS

With wind chill tem-peratures dipping belowfreezing, I’m having tofill up the bird feederstwice a day and check onthe girls/chickens everyfew hours to bring them

fresh wa-ter. I want-ed to tellyou, too, tocheck onneighborswho areelderly orshut in.Bringthem abowl of hotchicken

broth to which youcooked in cheese tortelli-ni and a handful of freshspinach. A sprinkling ofParmesan is good in thesoup, too. Nourishing andwarms one all over!

Remember I told youanything fermented isgoing to be popular thisyear due to the healthbenefits? Kimchi is oneof those and a popularKorean dish. I got thisrecipe from a fellowcookbook author at afood demo during MotherEarth News Fair lastyear. Tasty, and a goodplace to start when mak-ing homemade Kimchi. Iplan on making this onFox 19’s morning showfor Rob Williams, whoabsolutely loves Kimchi.

Mild Kimchi1 head Chinese or

Napa cabbage, about 3pounds, cut into 2” pieces

1 Daikon radish, about4”, peeled and thinlysliced

1 carrot, thinly sliced1/2 cup pickling salt

4 garlic cloves,minced

2 tablespoons Koreanchili paste or 2 teaspoonsChinese chili paste/saucewith garlic

1 teaspoon peeledminced fresh ginger root==

1 teaspoon sugar or totaste (I think you couldsubstitute honey)

Combine cabbage,radish, carrot and salt inbowl. Mix to combine andadd ice water to cover.Let stand for 2 to 6 hours.

Drain, reservingbrine. Add garlic, chiipaste, ginger and sugarand mix well, usinghands.

Pack into 2 quart can-ning jar. Add enoughreserved brine to cover

and fill to top of jar. Cov-er to exclude air.

Set jar on saucer tocatch overflow that hap-pens when fermentationbegins. Store in dark,cool place.

Begin tasting after 1day, and refrigerate up to5 days. It will continue toage and develop flavor.Keeps several months.

Tip from Rita’s kitch-en: Go to taste on flavor-ings. I like it spicy sowould use more chilipaste.

My favoriteguacamole

This has a smoky fla-vor due to the chipotlepeppers. Nice for SuperBowl coming up.

3 large ripe Hass avo-

cados - peeled, pitted andscooped out

2 limes, juiced1 teaspoon salt1/2 cup diced red onion Chopped cilantro to

taste3/4 teaspoon cumin or

to taste1 minced clove garlic

or more to tasteChipotle peppers in

adobo to taste (puree infood processor and thenstore in frig or freezer;this is much easier tomeasure out than thewhole peppers in sauce)

2 Roma tomatoes,diced

Mash the avocadosvery gently with potatomasher. Some people laythe avocado down flatand cut it into very small

pieces. Regardless, youdon’t want to overmashor it will become soupy.

Stir in lime juice totaste, and salt. Stir inonion, cilantro, cumin,garlic, peppers. Stir intomatoes. Serve withchips.

Tips from Rita’skitchen:

Ripening avocados.Although avocados aremature when pickedfrom the tree, they arenot ripe. Place in paperbag. This traps the ethyl-ene gas they produce andhelps to ripen. It willripen at room temper-ature in 3-5 days. Skincolor will darken andflesh underneath will bea bit soft.

Hass. These comefrom California with abuttery texture. The skinis tough and durable —ideal for shipping, andfor use as a scooping cupwhen removing flesh.

Hall. From Floridaand are bright green,smooth skinned avoca-dos.

Good for you: Loadedwith potassium, folicacid, vitamins C and E,also fiber and hearthealthy monounsaturatedfat.

A publication of

A8 • FORT THOMAS RECORDER • JANUARY 15, 2015

Parents across the countrytuned in last week as Presi-dent Obama announced agame-changing proposal –free community college for allAmericans.

It’s an ambitious plan. Andwith a $60 billion price tagover 10 years, it’s not likely tosail through without a fight.What it will do, however, is getAmericans talking about post-secondary education, its costand its benefits.

In my many years as ateacher, principal and super-intendent, I heard the samestory over and over. Manystudents feel as thoughthey’re just “doing” highschool without formulating aplan for life after graduation.That’s why our company, Na-viGo College and Career PrepServices, was formed. Ourclients are skilled and moti-

vated youngpeople whooften don’tconnect valueto the highschool coursesthey take.They’re alsooverwhelmedby the collegeand/or careerplanning proc-ess. We helpthem zero in

on their interests, passions,and talents before they gradu-ate high school.

Many of our NaviGo clientsattend four-year universities,but a growing number choosecommunity colleges. It oftenmakes financial sense fortheir families, and two-yearcolleges allow for continuedself-discovery of the student.Community colleges also of-

fer students the option to ei-ther transfer to a four-yearuniversity or obtain a degreeto immediately enter theworkforce.

The majority of studentsentering college as freshmendo not complete their degreein four years. More often ittakes five and six years, esca-lating costs for parents. Of-fering free community col-lege would lower the overallcosts to parents, and moreimportantly bridge the gap tothe work force. With a degree,license or certification, youngworkers are more qualifiedfor higher-paying jobs.

At NaviGo, we see the con-nection between good collegetraining, invested businessesand the terrific work happen-ing daily at schools all aroundthe Tristate. Our NaviGoScholars program, adminis-

tered by the Northern Ken-tucky Education Council, is agreat example.

Corporate sponsors hand-pick high school students whocould end up being futureemployees. Toyota, Duke En-ergy, Citi, Bank of Kentuckyand Heritage Bank are spon-soring students in NorthernKentucky and Cincinnati forthe current school year. Eachof the NaviGo Scholars notonly meets one-on-one with aNaviGo Coach, but also hasaccess to a career coach in hisor her field of choice. Navi-Go’s goal is to build relation-ships and help students dis-cover the best path to futuresuccess.

President Obama calledcommunity colleges the “es-sential pathway to the middleclass.” We see them as a path-way to our local workforce.

NaviGo has wonderful part-nerships with Gateway Com-munity and Technical Collegeand Cincinnati State, as wellas four-year schools likeNorthern Kentucky Univer-sity and Thomas More Col-lege, where NaviGo’s officesare located. Our clients meeton those college campuses sothat they have the chance toexperience college life.

Like you, we will all bewatching the America’s Col-lege Promise proposal closely.However, with the combinedefforts of our local business-es, high schools and and col-leges, we are already forginga great future for local stu-dents.

Tim Hanner is president of NaviGoCollege and Career Prep Service andthe former superintendent of theKenton County School District.

A game-changing proposal for community colleges

TimHannerCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST

Jan. 8 question:What should be the top priori-

ties for the Republican-controlledCongress (House and Senate)?

“Taking a second look at billstabled because of politics andfollowing through on them as ajoint session of Congress, pass-ing bills that work for the ma-jority.”

Karen Swanson Dietz

“Changing the public percep-tion and information about whylegislation is not acted upon.The American people are tiredof the Constitution being ig-nored. After eliminating thehideous tax of Obamacare,legislation to ensure new em-ployment should be the toppriority. This would mean,among many other things, aviable means for companies toprovide health care benefits,possibly the Keystone Pipeline,and certainly an agreement topublish and read all legislationbefore voting. Requiring legis-lation to describe its basis in theConstitution would be a start.”

D.B.

“To abolish Obamacare, putin Keystone Pipeline, to havecontrol of our borders, andallow our country the right tohave the 10 Commandments inour schools and courtrooms.”

Mary Ann Maloney

“Do something! We paythese people far too much to donothing. If we wanted nothing

done for a lot of money, wewould just hire Mike Brown.”

M.J.F.

“I am hoping that the newCongress can finally do some-thing (anything) this year.These last several Congresseshave been so divided that noth-ing moved forward. I hope theymove on the deficit spendingand the debt, which are out ofcontrol. Secondly they couldapprove the Keystone Pipelineto get the U.S. and Canadian oilto refineries more safely. Nowwith the cheaper gas (tempora-rily) increase the federal excisetax paid at the pump to help fixthe highways and bridges. Myguess is we will have two moreyears of nothing much beingaccomplished.

“The Congress is much likethe UN; there is a lot of talk butvery few results. Never have somany done so little for so long.Go figure!”

CH@TROOM

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONSome people have criticizedrecent school closings due tocold weather. What do youthink about the practice ofcanceling classes when themercury dips?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers to ndaly@communitypress.com with Ch@troom in thesubject line.

Cincinnati is one of the bestplaces in the country to own apet. With tremendous outdoorspaces, amazing health carefacilities, and affordable main-

tenance costs,there aredozens ofreasons whynow might bethe best timeto consideradding a petto your fam-ily.

Pet owner-ship has tri-pled in thepast 40 years,with more

than 160 million pets in theUnited States, but there arestill significant numbers ofanimals that need homes, espe-cially those available in ourlocal shelters and rescues.

Despite such significantgrowth in pet ownership, esti-mates show that only 30 per-cent of all pets are adoptedfrom animal shelters, leaving ahuge population unadopted –nearly 3 million shelter ani-mals are euthanized annuallyin the United States.

The problem is not overpop-ulation; instead it is a call-for-action to educate the commu-nity that we can make a differ-ence. Research from The Hu-mane Society of the UnitedStates has found that morethan 17 million homes areplanning to add a pet to theirfamily in 2015, but haven’tdecided where to go to findtheir new furry family mem-ber. That means if just one inevery five potential pet ownerschooses to adopt an animal,they can help save the lives ofmillions of animals, that other-wise could be euthanized.

Many animals end up inshelters and rescues throughno fault of their own. They arevictims of circumstances be-yond their control, such as anillness or death in the family,divorce, growing family, fam-

ily relocation, or impropertraining and preparation fromowners. These pets arehealthy, loving animals. Likeany other pet, they might needtraining to fit into a family andhome, as well as patience fromtheir new family to help themadjust to their new surround-ings, but adopting an animalpresents benefits that helpfacilitate this transition.

Animals from rescue or-ganizations living in fosterhomes have already had expe-rience in a home setting andmany shelters have volunteersand staff members that helppeople and pets with trainingand obedience even beforethey are adopted. As an addedbonus, adoption can help re-duce many costs associatedwith new pet ownership. Notonly are shelter animal adop-tion fees lower than buyingfrom a pet store or breeder,but many of the adoptableanimals in shelters and res-cues have already been spayedor neutered and are vaccinat-ed. There are so many wonder-ful reasons to adopt or rescuea pet. Cincinnati is helping tomake it easier for individualsand families who want to add apet to their family, by onceagain bringing together thearea’s best shelters and res-cues to showcase their animals

in one convenient locationduring Cincinnati’s official PetAdoption Weekend.

The region’s largest animaladoption event, My FurryValentine, a nonprofit organi-zation focused on bringingtogether adoptable animalsand potential owners, is host-ing its annual Mega AdoptionEvent at the Sharonville Con-vention Center from 10 a.m. to5 p.m. Feb. 14 and Feb. 15.

With dozens of rescues andshelters, satellite adoptionevents around the city, andnumerous vendors and ad-vocacy groups participating,My Furry Valentine is hopingto find homes for 550 animalsduring the weekend event. Theevent is fun, family-friendlyand free to attend. This year’sMy Furry Valentine is hostedby phoDOGrapher and pre-sented by Top Dog sponsorsIAMS and Tri-County Mallwith additional financial assis-tance from The Joanie Ber-nard Foundation.

Carolyn Evans is founder of MyFurry Valentine, a nonprofit cre-ated in 2012 to raise awareness forthe animal rescue communitythrough a weekend-long animaladoption event. The annual gather-ing has found homes for more than1,300 pets since inception. Visitwww.myfurryvalentine.com.

In the past, the Bluegrass-Buckeye Charity Classic hasbeen a local basketball eventpitting schools from NorthernKentucky against schools fromOhio that has benefited chari-ties such as the Ruth Lyons Chil-dren’s Fund, the Neediest Kidsof All and Chicks & Chucks, abreast cancer awareness group.

This year, the event will fea-ture only Northern Kentuckyteams playing at Northern Ken-tucky University’s Bank of Ken-tucky Center, the host site of theNinth Region tournament. Thetriple-header will feature six ofthe top 10 teams in the Enquir-er’s coaches’ poll, including No.1 NewCath facing off againstNo. 2 CovCath.

“We definitely wanted tohave the event at the Bank ofKentucky Center,” said TerryBoehmker, one of the tourna-ment directors. “And we real-ized that we had a hard timedrawing fans from the Ohioteams with the games beingheld there, so we decided to tryit with just the top teams inNorthern Kentucky this year.We left the name the same be-cause the money will still be go-ing to benefit charities in Ohioand Kentucky.”

The Thoroughbreds and Col-onels will tip-off at 8:30 pm asthe headliner for Friday night’sthree-game event. No. 3 Camp-bell County and No. 6 Scott will

open at 5:30 followed by No. 8Cooper versus No. 5 Holmes at 7pm.

“All the teams were recep-tive to the idea,” Boehmker saidwhen asked how the tourna-ment was able to get such astrong slate of games. “With thesuccess that they had last yearfor the NewCath/Holmes andDixie/CovCath games that werehosted (at the Bank of KentuckyCenter), I think they were im-pressed by that.”

There’s also a potential com-petitive advantage for at leastthe four Ninth Region teamsthat will be participating in thegame.

“A lot of people said last yearthat the 35th district teams hadan advantage in the regionaltournament because theyplayed their district tourna-ment at the Bank of KentuckyCenter,” Boehmker said. “Andfor the 10th Region teams, it’sstill a chance to play a big gamein a high profile arena.”

The rivalry between New-Cath and CovCath for the topspot in Northern Kentucky isnothing new. Ranked as two ofthe top teams most of last sea-son, they tried to play a regularseason game last January buthad the game called at halftimedue to heavy and persistent con-densation on CovCath’s floor.The teams met back up in thesemifinals of the Ninth Regiontournament and CovCath won

FORT THOMAS — Jake Farleydidn’t have his best match Jan. 8against St. Henry.

The Highlands High Schoolbowler had some car sicknessgetting from Fort Thomas to Er-langer to compete against theCrusaders at Super Bowl. Andthen he was about 20 pins underhis average during the teamcompetition.

But the Bluebirds haveenough depth that they didn’tneed their top player to be at hisbest as they rolled to a 6-1 winover St. Henry, averaging 196for the match. The Bluebirdsimproved to 8-0 matches and49-7 overall in points (sevenpoints possible per match).

“We all pick each other up,”he said. “When I’m having a badday, I know they can do well.”

Farley was fourth at state insingles last year and led theBluebirds to the state final,where they lost to Scott County.He was the honoree of the Na-tional Guard Best & BrightestAward.

Heading into play Jan. 8, hehad the top average in NorthernKentucky in team matches witha223, including a high game of anear-perfect 289 which is thehighest in the region this sea-son. Against St. Henry, he shot asolid 205-200 after vomiting inthe parking lot upon arrival toSuper Bowl Erlanger.

Andy Campbell stepped uphis game that day, shooting 481(236-245). He came in second toFarley in Northern Kentuckywith a 213 average. Highlandshas five other players who aver-aged between 170 and 190.

“We’ve got a good team,”Farley said. “If you look at mostgood teams, they have four orfive really good bowlers and Ithink we have eight strong bow-lers who are capable of bowlingreally strong. We have a reallydeep team”.

The boys team was comingoff the team championship atthe Covington Catholic TeamChallenge, which is set up likethe regional tournament withmatch play in the Baker format,in which five teammates rolltwo frames apiece in a game.

The Highlands girls havebeen just as potent this season,going undefeated in matchesand 51-5 in points after beatingSt. Henry 6-1 as well. KatelynSchneider had the top averageof 154 going in. Abbey Parrott,Kathryn Hall and Tessa Woodyare next in the rankings. High-lands did not qualify for statelast year and is looking to make

up for it.“We’ve been really good. The

girls have been rolling througheverybody. We just need to getready for regionals,” said girlshead coach Steve Guilkey.“Most of our better bowlers areyounger girls. They’ve beenreally solid all year.”

Both teams are hoping topeak at the Region 5 champion-ships, which will be Jan. 26 (sin-gles) and Jan. 28 (team) at Su-per Bowl Bellewood. Schmidtexpects a tight battle for berthsat state in both divisions, andthe Bluebirds hope last year’sexperiences help.

“It prepares us for when weget into those type of situa-tions,” Farley said. “It helpstake the pressure off becausewe’ve been there before. We’remore prepared.”

On Nov. 18, junior out-side hitter Jayden Julianhelped lead the NorthernKentucky volleyball teamto the Atlantic Sun Confer-ence tournament semifi-nals with a team-best 15kills and 12 digs against

Stetson. NKU fell to Lip-scomb the next day in thesemis in its first tourna-ment appearance since be-coming an NCAA DivisionI program two years ago.

The trip to Florida GulfCoast’s Alico Arenamarked a soaring high forJulian, and the Norse. Fouryears ago, she was pulling

out of a plummeting lowwhen her well-decoratedathletic career at HolyCross High School was at acrossroads following asecond serious right kneeinjury in two years.

She was sitting with herfather, a Holy Cross coach,and her mother, the HolyCross athletic director, in

the living room of their In-dependence home duringthe fall of her junior year.They were talking aboutthe young athlete’s futureafter she had ACL surgeryon her knee following aninjury suffered in a pre-season basketball scrim-mage against Walton-Ve-rona. Julian tore the ilioti-bial band in her right kneewhile playing basketballtwo years earlier.

“I remember that night,and what I should do after Irecovered from my sec-ond injury,” Julian said ofthe discussion afterThanksgiving. “The injuryturned out to be a positive.At the time, I was playingtwo sports, volleyball andbasketball, and I was al-ways running around frompractice to practice andgame to game, eatingmeals on the run. It wascrazy.”

From that point on, shewas primarily a volleyballplayer. She was running onatreadmill four months af-ter she got hurt. She wasmedically cleared to re-sume training sevenmonths after the secondinjury. She was so strongthat she didn’t require aknee brace for her seniorvolleyball season.

Although she did playbasketball for the Indiansas a senior, she stoppedplaying basketball year-round. She was a two-timeall-region volleyball per-former for Holy Crosscoach Becky Houston, Ju-

lian’s aunt.She played so well her

senior season that NKU of-fered her a scholarship af-ter several schools pur-sued her. Feeling comfort-able in local surroundings,she accepted NKU’s offer.

“It’s one of the bestthings that happened tome,” Julian said. “I’ve hada lot of fun at NKU, andwe’ve done so well. I knewa lot of girls on the teamfrom high school. Whenmy high school teammate,Georgia Childers, joinedthe team this year, therewas no better news. Ourfamilies sat close to eachother at our games.”

Intensely loyal to thosearound her, Julian has be-come the perfect NKU vol-leyball teammate, accord-

ing to coach Liz Hart.“She’s a really good vol-

leyball player, with such awide range of shots. She’smentally tough, and a su-per person, one of the neat-est kids I’ve ever coached.I made her one of my cap-tains and she’s only a ju-nior,” said Hart, who didnot accompany the team toFort Myers, Fla., for the A-Sun tournament. Due anyday with her first child,Hart watched the team’smatches on ESPN3.

Down five points in thefifth set against Stetson,NKU rallied for a 15-13 vic-tory. The Norse ralliedfrom 10-5 deficit in the sec-ond set on the strength ofan 8-1 run sparked by Ju-lian. She put down back-to-back kills on the way to thewin, earning an unexpect-ed trip to the semifinals.

Julian, a 6-foot sixth ro-tation player, had ninekills, an ace and two blocksagainst Lipscomb. Team-mate Keely Creamer putdown a match-high 16 kills,and Mel Stewart set a ca-reer-high with 30 digs. Set-ter Taylor Snyder, fromNewport Central Catholic,ended the season with her16th double-double, post-ing 45 assists and 19 digs.

The Norse finished theseason with a record of 19-11. Julian was second onthe team behind Jenna Ru-ble with 311kills after lead-ing with 362 as a sopho-more.. She finished thirdthis season with 262 digsand tied for third in blocks.

Both programs havebounced back strong thisyear. Neither has lost to aNorthern Kentucky oppo-nent yet. NewCath entersthe week with a 10-2 rec-ord and is the owner of acurrent five-game win-ning streak. The Breds’only two losses came toLouisville Doss and Louis-ville Ballard. CovCathowns a 10-3 record and iscurrently riding a six-game winning streak en-tering the week. The Colo-nels’ losses came againstLouisville Trinity, KnottCounty Central and BoyleCounty - all three of whichfeature Division Irecruits in their startinglineups.

Donald, who is averaginga double-double with 20.0points and 10.5 reboundsper game, and junior BenWeyer, who ranks secondon the team with 18.5points and 8.7 boards.Sophomore guard ColeVonHandorf (18.1 ppg)powers the Colonels’ at-tack, but the productionof senior leader Bo Schuh(14.0 ppg, 6.5 rpg) in thepost against McDonaldand Weyer may play themost critical role in Cov-Cath’s success on Friday.

Do you know who’sresponsible for electriclines that run to yourhouse?

Mark, of Maineville,wrote that the under-ground electric linebroke from the street to

his house. He contactedDuke Energy and wastold it could not repairthe line – that he wouldhave to handle it on hisown.

Mark says the onlyway Duke would repair it

is if he hadbought itsinsurancefor electricline cov-erage.Mark sayshe doesn’tknow whoto call,adding,“This isplain not

right.”What Mark and many

others don’t realize is ahomeowner is respon-sible for the under-ground electric, natural

gas and water lines goingto their house. If that hadbeen an overhead elec-tric line going to Mark’shouse, Duke would havebeen responsible for itsrepair.

The Ohio Consumers’Counsel says many cus-tomers can enroll in aprogram that helps coverthe cost of repairingunderground lines, butnotes such line repairsare needed very infre-quently.

Mark needs to contacta local electrician tomake repairs. He should

get repair estimatesfrom at least three differ-ent companies, check tosee how long each firmhas been in business, andsee what rating each hasbeen given by the BetterBusiness Bureau.

Be sure the contractoryou pick guarantees hisworkmanship and ma-terials – and provides acopy of his liability andworkers compensationinsurance policies. Avoidupfront payments ofmore than 10 percent,and keep in mind thelowest bid may not be thebest bid.

The cost of line war-ranties ranges from $3 to$10 per month dependingon the type and numberof programs in which youenroll.

The Ohio Consumers’Counsel says some com-panies may offer a one-time annual fee of be-tween $36 and $120 tocover problems with theutility lines. It says, de-pending on the company,

the warranty coversbetween $1,000 and$4,000 of repairs or re-placements.

Remember, mosthomeowners may neverneed to replace or repairany utility lines. Checkwith you neighbors to seeif they have had any suchproblems. Neighbor-hoods older than 40 yearsold, which have the origi-nal pipes and lines, arethose that should concernyou the most.

Most telephone lineproblems typically occurevery 20 to 30 years,according to the OhioConsumers’ Counsel. But,before signing up with awarranty company makesure you get writtendetails of what will andwill not be covered.
