The city has proven anability to still hire qualitycandidates who live out-side of the city, Fossettsaid. Fossett, who willleave council in Januaryafter not seeking a sec-ond term, said the lawgives an incentive for topmanagers to live in thecity.

“Mythoughtswere theordinance works,” hesaid.

Peterman said the res-idency requirement hasbecome antiquated.

“Having to be a resi-dent of the city for com-

munication purposes andaccess purposes just isn’tas important as it was atone time,” Petermansaid. “In addition to that,no county or local gov-ernments in NorthernKentucky other thanNewport have residencyrequirements.”

The city is really limit-ing itself on candidatesby having a residency re-quirement, he said.

“Since we’ve operated

as if we don’t have one,and I think we’ve madesome great hires, I’d liketo operate the same wayin the future,” Petermansaid.

Bowman said he feelsstrongly the city admin-istrator should live in thecity.

For the police and fireit’s important for re-sponse time to livewithina reasonable distancefrom the city, if not in thecity, said Kelly.

“I think our city ad-ministrator should reallyhave a vested interest inthe community and bepart of the communityand be able to live hereand experience it,” Kellysaid.

“I went to Monera,which is a clothing bou-tique, and actually gotsome gifts for my daugh-ter and my niece,” Riessaid.

Ries said she makes ahabit of shopping atsmall businesses and herchildren know she pre-fers to eat at non-chainrestaurants.

“I think it’s importantto support small busi-nesses, and actually Ithink the prices are com-parable to, you know, thechain stores,” Ries said.

Author Sharon M.Draper of Cincinnaticame in to mingle withcustomers as a sched-uled visiting author.

Draper said she sawmany of the books on theBlue Marble shelves sheread as a judge for the2014 National BookAwards.

Draper’s latest book,“Stella by Starlight,” will

be released in January2015.

The book, based thelife of Draper’s grand-mother, is set in Bumble-bee, North Carolina, in1932, she said.

“My grandmother,when she was a child,wrote in a journal atnight by the light of themoon,” Draper said. “Be-cause that was the onlytime she had to do it.”

Draper saidher fatherinspired her to turn oneof her grandmother’sjournals into a book.

“This took me a longtime to do it, but this isher story, his story andthe story of all the peoplethat were growing up athe time,” she said.

AdamH.Edelen,Ken-tucky’s auditor of publicaccounts, has releasedthe latest audit of theclerk’s office reviewingthe 2012 financial state-ment.

Edelen’s audit notedSnodgrass’s financialstatements for the year“fairly presented in con-formity with the regula-torybasisofaccounting.”

BRIEFLY

BELLEVUE—Nomatterwho you are or where youare on life’s journey, youare welcome at the Nativ-ity, according to the Rev.Keith Haithcock.

That’s the message St.John United Church ofChrist in Bellevue wantsto share Friday, Dec. 5, asthey invite thecommunityto gather again for theNa-tivity Processional.

“I think this is an im-portant community eventbecause although this is aChristian celebration, it isalso a way to include andinvolve some who wouldnever come to church andothers who are not Chris-tian but still want to cele-brate the reason for theseason, as so many say, inaway that isnon-threaten-ing and engaging,” Haith-cock said.

The procession will be-ginat6:30p.m.atPrinceofPeace Lutheran Church,306 Center St. It proceedsnorth on Taylor Avenue toPoplar Street then turnsright on to Poplar towardWashington Avenue. Theprocession will turn lefton Washington and pro-ceed to Fairfield Avenueand turn right going on toSt. John United Church ofChrist, 520 Fairfield Ave.

“Everyone is invitedand welcome to partici-pate in the Nativity Pro-cessional,” he said. “Bringbanners, candles, drums,tambourines, glow sticks,flashlights and other fes-

tive lights and musical in-struments for the proces-sion.Allchildrenare invit-ed to dress as their favor-ite Nativity character.”

Haithcock said the pro-cessionwill concludewitha community carol sing,words of welcome, thereading of the Christmasstory, music and a dedica-tion prayer. Clergy fromNorthern Kentuckychurches will participate.

Afterwardparticipantsare invited to visit theChristmas Shoppe at thechurch featuring rum-mage sale items and the“Hall of Chocolate”wherefree hot chocolate will begiven, he said.

According to Haith-cock this is the 43rd yearthat the Nativity has beenon display in Bellevue.Each year the communityhas gathered for a dedica-tion of the first Christmasscene. In previous yearsthedisplayhasbeenerect-ed in thecity’sNagelPark.Lastyear, the formerown-er of the Nativity, the

Bellevue NeighborhoodAssociation, donated it tothe church.

Mayor Ed Riehl, whohas participated in thegathering for “many,many years,” said it’s agreatway to start the holi-day season in the city.

“I think it is suchawon-derful way to bringfriends and family togeth-er, and tocelebrateandre-flect on what the truemeaning of the Christmasseason is all about,” hesaid. “I think sometimeswe all get caught up in thehustle and bustle of shop-ping and need to take timeto reflect as a communi-ty.”

Riehl said that St. Johnhas done “a wonderfuljob” taking over the dis-play.

The Nativity will be ondisplay at the church untilTuesday, Jan. 6.

Last year’s processionwasmet with controversywith themovingof thedis-play from public to pri-vate property. There was

also controversy whenseveral Bellevue congre-gations refused to partici-pate due to St. John’s ac-ceptance of all sexual ori-entations.

Still, Haithcock saidturnout last year wasstrong with more than 30participating in the pro-cession and 65 gatheringat the church in snow.

This year the St. Johncongregation and thePrince of Peace LutheranChurchcongregation, alsoin Bellevue, will be theonly churches participat-ing. Haithcock said hehopes for good weatherand more communitymembers will participate.

“I find it a powerful ex-perience to bewith peopleofall backgrounds findinga common thread in lifeand faith enough to cometogether rather than pullapart. To me that is one ofthe powerful messages ofChristmas.”

In a move to help studentsget ahead or stay on track tograduate in four years, North-ern Kentucky University an-nounced Nov. 24 it will be put-ting stronger emphasis on itswinter term this year, whichconsists of online courses of-fered during a three-week ses-sion from Dec. 15 through Jan.6, 2015.

Winter term(nku.edu/winter.html) offerscurrent students, alumni, visit-ing students, and lifelong learn-ers an opportunity to completegoals or get ahead in their aca-demic careers. Students en-rolled in awinter termclass areeligible to earn up to three

course credits. The undergrad-uate and graduate courses areoffered in an accelerated for-mat allowing for intense explo-ration of a particular discipline,and all the courses are online.Topics range from introductoryanthropology and sociologycourses to upper-level coursesin history and leadership.

“Winter Term is a great op-portunity for students to pickup credit hours they need tokeep them on pace to graduatein four years,” said NKU Pro-vost and Executive Vice Presi-dent for Academic Affairs SueOtt Rowlands. “Students whodidn’t earn 15 or more hoursduring the fall semester can

earn three credit hours in threeweeks, helping to ensure theyare on track to graduate onschedule. Of course, it’s alsogreat for students who want tograduate in less than fouryears.”

Dr. Jonathan McKenzie, as-sistantprofessorofpolitical sci-ence, will be teaching an onlinecourse called Political Leader-ship,whichwill investigatepoli-tics on the federal and local lev-el. Mr. McKenzie said he paysspecial attention to creating thesyllabus for such an intensivecourse.

“We’ll be learning aboutwhat makes a good leader, andhow leaders emerge,” he said.

“For students it’s a good chanceto get a quick and in-depth lookat a topic. As a professor, I al-ways think the onus is on me tomake it more interesting andengagingwhenstudentshave towork on these classes for threehours a day.”

Dr. Andrea Lambert South,graduate program director andassociate professor in the De-partment of Communication,will alsobe teaching thiswinter.“I love teaching during the win-ter intersession,” she said. “Iteach an online Family Commu-nication course and it pairs per-fectly with many student expe-riences regarding their fam-ilies around the holiday season.

“Managing and negotiatingfamily joys and tensions is anear universal experience and Ihave the privilege of being ableto teach a class that emphasizeswhat we know about familycommunication and decon-structs and normalizes whatcan seem to be impossible fam-ily members or situations,” shesaid. “I teach the Family Com-munication course all through-out the year and the winter in-tersession online course resultsin the best discussion and per-sonal stories that exemplify thehighs and lows of family life.”

Registration information isavailable at http://nku.edu/winter.html.

Classes offered in intense winter term

Gateway Community andTechnical College is acceptingstudents to start classes in thespring semester, which beginsJan. 12.

The college is conductingmultipleadmissions informationsessions and financial aid work-shops in December to preparewould-be students for admis-sions and enrollment.

DECEMBER 4, 2014 • CCF RECORDER • A7NEWS

OK, so Thanksgivingis over and now the realhectic rush begins. Wefinished stringing lights

on theoutdoorpines andare puttingup thewreaths onthe win-dows latertoday.There willbe a lot ofactivity inmy kitchenas well.

My somewhat loftygoal this year is to haveall the food gifts finisheda week ahead of Christ-mas. Stay tuned…

Baked acorn squashwith nutmeg,cinnamon andbrown sugar

I saw this on TV andliked the fact that itwasn’t overly loaded withsugar, butter, cream, etc.You can make as many asyou like.

I showed these on Fox19 when I did the week-end show with DanWellsand Jessica Brown. Theywanted side dishes forthe holidays for a smallfamily. This fills the billand would be a nice ac-companiment for thatholiday ham or pork.

Here’s my adaptation:2 acorn squashes, cut

in half and seededOlive oil3 tablespoons un-

salted butter1/4 cup dark or light

brown sugar1/2 teaspoon salt1/4 teaspoon each,

freshly grated nutmegand cinnamon

Preheat oven to 400°F.Rub the inside of the

squashes with olive oil.Place on sprayed pancut-side down. Bake for30-40 minutes or until

soft.While the squash

bake, prepare the brownsugar mixture. In a smallpot, combine the butter,brown sugar, salt andspices over low heat.Heat until butter meltsand sugar dissolves.When the squash halvesare ready, flip them overand drizzle the brownsugar mixture on theinside cavity.

Place the pan in theoven for an additional5-10 minutes or untilbrown and bubbling.

Slow cookerbreakfast egg andsausage casserole

A perennial favorite. Ilike to thaw the hashbrowns a bit, but some ofmy readers like to pourthe frozen hash brownsstraight from the bag.Now remember yourslow cooker may take alittle less, or a little more,time. Last time I madethis I used 1-1/2 poundssausage, and it was good.

2 pounds frozenshredded hash browns -either shredded ordiced

1 to 1-1/2 poundssausage, cooked andcrumbled

1bunch green on-ions, finely sliced, bothwhite and green parts

1 pound shreddedcheese

By almost every measure, North-ern Kentucky’s first half marathonwas a success, according to its orga-nizer and one of its most experiencedrunners.

“We sold out with 1,100 partici-pants,” said Scott Spicher, founder ofthe Nov. 15 Honor Run Half Marathon.

“We were able to raise $27,000which will be presented to HonorFlight Tri-State at the Dec. 9 FlorenceCity Council meeting,” said Spicher,media systems coordinator for BooneCounty Schools.

“That will enable half of a plane ofveterans to see the memorials inWashington, D.C.,” Spicher said. TheHonor Flights fly veterans fromWorldWar II and the KoreanWar to Wash-ington, D.C., to see their memorials atno cost to the veterans.

The half marathon, which by defini-tion is 13.1miles, got a thumbs up froma Florence pediatrician who’s run overa dozen marathons including the Bos-tonMarathon.

“I thought it was great. I was reallyimpressed,” Dr. Robert Tagher said.

“For the first year as far the run-ners were concerned it went off with-out a hitch,” said Tagher, who came in11th. “It was well organized. It was agreat course. It was just challengingenough.”

Marathoners took off under theFlorence Y’all water tower, loopedaround FlorenceMall, sprintedthrough theMall Road and HoustonRoad business districts, galloped byTurfway Park Race Course, dartedbehind the Cincinnati/Northern Ken-tucky International Airport and sped

along Aero Parkway before turningback toward the mall and finishing atthe water tower.

Spicher, who coaches youth crosscountry at Boone County High School,said the idea for the half marathonactually came from his wife, who no-ticed there wasn’t such a race in

Northern Kentucky.He ran with the idea, and got advice

from officials of Cincinnati’s FlyingPigMarathon. When it came to plot-ting out the course, he got tips fromFlorence city government officialsJoshWice and Rick Lunnemann.

“The city was really good to work

with,” Spicer said, as were countyofficials in Boone County EmergencyManagement.

“We’re really happy with the way itcame out.”

Spicher went door to door along therace route to give businesses a headsup.

On race day, however, a few logisti-cal issues came up at with FlorenceMall employees delayed from gettingto work.

Spicher said only a few changeswould be made to the course in 2015.

“We’ll try to makeminor adjust-ments around the mall so traffic canmovemore freely,” he said.

Next year the race will be movedfrom Saturday to Sunday “to alleviatesome of the problems we had.”

So mark the date: The second Hon-or Run Half Marathon will be Sunday,Nov. 15, 2015.

“Our goal next year is to double ourattendance,” Spicher said.

Tagher, the Florence doctor andavid runner, said he believed a lotmore people would have signed up thisyear but the event sold out.

He was confident word will spreadso that doubling participation nextyear should be no problem.

Spicher, whose grandfather was aPOW duringWorldWar II, said he’dlike the half marathon to become aNorthern Kentucky tradition for theweekend after Veterans Day.

“To pull all those agencies togetherand pull off a first-class event” in-volved some stress, he said. But it wasdefinitely worth it when you considerit was “for the people who fought forour freedom.”

LaRosa’s Family Pizzeria isdedicated to supporting thecommunity-at-large by helpingour neighbors in need. Theholiday season reminds us toreflect on our blessings, whilealso recognizing and assistingfriends and members of ourcommunity facing challengingtimes.

We are particularly drawnto improve the harsh realitiesof hunger and food insecurityfacing members of our com-munity. This continues to be amajor issue in the GreaterCincinnati area, and the de-mands are growing as hun-dreds of thousands of individ-uals and families wonderwhere their next meal is com-ing from. In Greater Cincin-nati, the Feed America’s Mapthe Meal Gap found that thisuncertainty affects 289,940people, including 100,000 chil-dren.

The unemployment rate hasdropped over the past year,

which is goodnews, but theimprovementfails to gener-ate the neces-sary aware-ness of thegrim realityaffecting mil-lions of indi-viduals in ourcountry – hun-ger. Over 2million indi-

viduals in Ohio, almost 20 per-cent of the population, areclassified as food insecure.However, one-third of the hun-gry population does not qualifyfor federal nutrition programs,instead having to rely on foodassistance, from social serviceagencies.

Financial stress is cripplingfamilies locally, and not justthe unemployed. There aremany individuals working thatare still struggling to makeends meet. The strains have

caused people to change theirlifestyles, borrowmoney fromfriends and family, and evenmove in with others to get backon their feet.

For those individuals strug-gling to make it day-by-day,social service agencies like theFreestore Foodbank are bea-cons of hope. These organiza-tions are hands-on communityadvocates, spending time withtheir visitors and neighbors,getting to know them, anddetermining the best way tohelp. Whether providing food,clothing, job training, healthcare, housing, money manage-ment classes, or transporta-tion, these agencies tirelesslywork for those in need.

I visit our pizzerias fromBoudinot to Clifton, Hyde Parkto Fairfield; meeting withguests to hear about their fam-ilies and interests, their joysand successes, and their chal-lenges and hardships. We prideourselves on being a communi-

ty support system and do whatwe can to aid those that coulduse a helping hand. We arecalled to action to help those inneed.

This holiday season, LaRo-sa’s is proud to once againsupport the Freestore Food-bank of Cincinnati to fighthunger in our community.Beginning the day afterThanksgiving, each of ourpizzerias began selling BuddyCards (our 2 for 1 pizza dis-count card) for the benefit ofthe Freestore Foodbank.

The Freestore Foodbank isone of Ohio’s largest food-banks, distributing more than20 million meals annually in 20different counties throughoutOhio, Kentucky, and Indiana.We will donate $5 from the saleof every $10 Buddy Card di-rectly to the Freestore Food-bank. Our contribution willhelp support the FreestoreFoodbank efforts to providethe necessary resources to

meet our region’s growingneed. We hope you’ll join us inour efforts to surpass our 2013contribution of $36,000 to theFreestore Foodbank.

Here’s how you can help:» Purchase a LaRosa’s Bud-

dy Card at any LaRosa’s pizze-ria from Nov. 28 through Dec.31. For a full list of locations,visit www.larosas.com/find

Michael T.LaRosaCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST

Nov. 27 questionIf the Republican-controlled Senate

which takes office in January passes abill green-lightingtheKeystoneXLpipe-line, should thepresident sign thebill orveto it? Why?

“There are two or three issues be-ing overlooked in the discussion re-garding the Keystone Pipeline.

“1. Private Property Rights“2. The Keystone Pipeline benefits

Canadians and Canadian business in-terests and provides no additional oilsupplies for the US;

“3. After construction, it providesnot more than 35 new jobs for Amer-icans. In order to build this pipeline tocarry ‘tar sands’ oil through the Unit-ed States from theCanadian border toports in Texas to sell in other parts ofthe world; private property will needtobetakenfrommanyAmerican land-owners. This theory of taking wouldbe under eminent domain. Eminentdomain is supposed to be a ‘taking’ ofprivate property for a ‘public’ good.Taking American land for a projectwhichbenefitsCanadians andCanadi-anbusinessdoesnotbenefit theAmer-ican public. As there is no significantbenefit for Americans XL Pipelinelegislation should be vetoed by thepresident if the Senate approves it.”

Paul L. Whalen

“I believe he would veto it. Muchlike the immigration issue the presi-dent no longer has elections to re-strainhimandwill doashewants.Thepresident has often stated the onlyway to curve America’s use of oil is todrive the cost up so high that they areforced to.”

Terry Smith

“I think he’ll veto. I read that War-renBuffet is the chairman of the com-pany that owns the BSFN railroad,which owns all the tracks between theUS and Western Canada. They haulabout 80 percent of the oil to the USandmake about $2 billion a year doingso. The keystone could potentiallycost them that income (and thus thevery generous contributions andfundraisers for the Democratic Par-ty).This issuehas little todowithenvi-ronmental concerns. Like everythingin Washington, it’s all about the mon-ey.”

Bobbi Layne Kayser

“Yes! He should sign it!! The rea-sons are many ... jobs, oil independ-ence from the Middle East, moniescoming to our US economy from oilexporting ... to name a few!”

Linda Ann Salsbury

“No veto! Blocking the KeystoneXL Pipelinewill not keep the oil in theground, norwill it decreaseAmerica’sconsumption of fossil fuels. What itwill do is guarantee continuing unem-ployment for tens of thousands ofAmerican construction, manufactur-ing, transportationandrefinerywork-ers. It will also keep America vulner-able to oil supply interruption andhigh prices fromunstable, foreign oil-producing nations.”

Pamela Robinson Porter

“He needs to sign it ... that doesn’tmeanhewill.Weneedmore independ-ence from foreign oil and the extrajobs are also very much needed.”

Joy Kent Tarleton

“He should sign it... But hewon’t...”James Bartley

“The environmental concerns arephony anyway. They feign concernwhile using oil fromall over theworldand they care nothing about any en-dangered creatures or environmentalimpacts on those countries. I say useevery available energy source we canand lower the overall cost to consum-ersputtingmoremoneyinourpocketsto spend on a larger variety of prod-ucts thanoil andgas.Anaddedbenefitto those that hate on the rich is it putsless income in their pockets andmorein ours. Additionally, Obama will notOKtheKeystone,hisgoalaspresidentwas never to create jobs and improvethe economy, that is boring stuff to anactivist president.”

THIS WEEK’S QUESTIONSen. Chris McDaniel has pre-filed a billfor the upcoming Kentucky legislativesession to direct $13 million to countyjails and mental health agencies to dealwith the state's heroin problem. Itwould also increase penalties for heroindealers and require traffickers to serveat least 50 percent of their sentence. Isthis legislation the right direction forKentucky? Why or why not?

It’s hard to understandwhy people who (a) needskills to get a job or (b)think they can’t afford togo to college don’t enrollat Gateway Communityand Technical College. Ofcourse, many do.

But I’d bet there arequite a few people in theregion who fall into thosecategories who don’t havea clue about Gateway orhow a Gateway educationcan help them to a morefulfilling life. So let metake this opportunity todebunk some of the mythsabout community collegein general and Gateway inthe specific.

» I can’t afford to goto college. You may thinkyou can’t afford to go tocollege but chances areyou can. Gateway is veryaffordably priced. Tuitionis roughly half the cost ofany public university inKentucky. Plus, Gatewayoffers financial aid in theform of grants and schol-arships (which don’t haveto be paid back), as well asaccess to student loans.Loans do require repay-ment, but Gateway offersfinancial counseling thatcan help you keep borrow-ing to a minimum and planfor repayment from theget-go. And those schol-arships? You don’t have tobe an Einstein to qualify.Many are available forstudents with a C+ aver-age. Some federally fund-ed programs offer freetuition to low-incomestudents, depending onyour career interest.

» My life is too com-plicated for me to suc-ceed in college. Don’tjump to that conclusionwithout talking to us first.We have a wide variety ofsupport services to helpyou overcome those obsta-cles. We have programsthat can help with child-care and other life issuesthat get in the way ofsuccess. Also, our cam-puses are served byTANK, and you can rideTANK anywhere for freewith a valid Gateway IDcard.

» Gateway doesn’t

offer any-thing thatappeals tome. Per-haps youowe us asecond look.Gatewayoffers about150 differ-ent creden-tials inthree dozensubjectareas that

serve local business andindustries that are grow-ing and hiring. Accordingto local economic projec-tions, health care, educa-tion, business, finance,technology and produc-tion occupations are thosemost in demand in ourregion. Gateway offerstraining in all of thoseareas. Representatives oflocal businesses and in-dustries serve on ourprogram advisory com-mittees to help us keepour programs up to dateand relevant. We havecareer pathways custom-ized to industry job lad-ders and credentialsbased on industry certifi-cations that tie specifi-cally to job requirements.

» College isn’t worththe investment anyway.Really? Average earningsof a person with an asso-ciate degree is $37,604annually, according toU.S. Census data. Accord-ing to 2020 Jobs Outlookreport from Agenda 360and Vision 2015, 90 per-cent of jobs in the GreaterCincinnati/Northern Ken-tucky region paying above$33,130 a year requiresome combination of post-secondary education,on-the-job training, and/ormore than a year’s workexperience. Average an-nual earnings for thoseholding bachelor’s de-grees is $49,889. Gatewayoffers associate degreesand prepares graduatesfor transfer to bachelor’sdegree programs at four-year universities.

» Community col-leges don’t offer thesame quality as “real”colleges. Gateway is ac-

credited to award asso-ciate degrees by the Com-mission on Colleges of theSouthern Association ofColleges and Schools.SACS is recognized by theU.S. Department of Edu-cation and is a regionalaccreditation agency thatevaluates academic pro-grams at two- and four-year institutions, like theUniversity of Kentuckyand Northern KentuckyUniversity. That meanscommunity colleges, in-cluding Gateway, undergothe same rigorous reviewas their four-year univer-sity counterparts.

» My dream is to goto a four-year university.That’s a worthy goal; don’tgive up on it. Let us sug-gest that you start at Ga-teway and finish at a four-year school. Our creditstransfer, and you will saveas much as 40 percent onthe cost of a four-yeardegree by earning anassociate’s degree at Gate-way first. Look into ourGateway2NKU program,which guarantees admis-sion to NKU after com-pleting an associate inarts or science at Gate-way.

Explore the Four isMORE scholarship pro-gram that offers guaran-teed admission to ThomasMore College and a TMCscholarship of up to$14,000 a year upon yourGateway graduation.

We have transferagreements in place thatlead to more than 100different bachelor’s de-grees at over 20 U.S. col-leges and universities inthe region and around thecountry.

You see, there’s reallyno good reason for you notto at least explore enroll-ing at Gateway. Call ustoday at 859-441-4500. Orvisitwww.gateway.kctcs.edu.New classes start in Janu-ary.

Andre Washington is dean ofenrollment services at Gate-way Community and TechnicalCollege.

Why not go to college next year?

FT. THOMAS — HighlandsHigh School’s boys basketballteamwillnotplayitsbestbasket-ball inDecember. TheBluebirdsmightstartplayingbetter inJan-uary. If all goes according toplan, the young squad will be amuch-improved teamcomeFeb-ruary.Then, theycanmakearuninMarch.

The Bluebirds won just ninegames a year ago, but startedslow and finished much strong-er. After opening the season 2-9,the team posted a 7-6 mark therest of the way, advancing to the36th District title game. It tooksome time for head coach KevinListerman to get on the samepage as his new team. In his sec-ondseasonat thehelmandwithafull offseason to work with hisplayers, Listerman expects thisteam to enter the season as amore prepared unit.

“The advantage to this beingyear two is I know the kids’strengths andweaknessesmuchbetter thanlastyear. Ihaveabet-

terfeelofhowtoputtheminsitu-ations to be successful,” saidListerman. “They also knowwhat to expect as far as practiceand our offensive and defensiveschemes.”

After graduating six seniorsfrom last year’s squad, the Blue-birds might be in for anotherlong December. The team’s suc-cess will be determined by howquickly the younger players canstep up at the varsity level. Ju-niors Mitchell Cain, JaredDaugherty, Bo Hebel, AustinHergott, Nick Kendall, andChandler New will need to con-tribute right away.Kendall is themost experienced of the group.

“Wewill needourunderclass-men to compete at a high levelfor us to return to the regionaltournament,” said Listerman.

A trio of seniors who learnedhow to win throughout thecourseof lastseasonwill leadtheway.ParkerHarris is the return-ing high scorer after averaging8.1 points per game last season.Classmates Kenny Ball and Jus-tinWeyer will also provide lead-ership for a mostly inexperi-

enced team.The Bluebirds will be guard-

heavy, lacking size in the post.Making shots and attacking theboardswill be critical for the un-dersized team to compete.

“For us to be successful, wewill need to shoot the ball wellfrom the perimeter and reboundas a team in order to competewith the topteamsin theregion,”said Listerman.

Last year,DecemberandJan-uary were grueling as the Blue-birds adjusted to anewcoachingstaff.Theybought into theirnewcoach’s motto of patience andpersistence and rallied to finishwith a strong February. Theyreached one goal of qualifyingfor the Ninth Region tourna-ment. This year, the goals aresimilar, but the expectations arehigher.

“Itmay take some time to getour legs, but I hope thatwewill agood-shooting, unselfish, grittytype of team by late Februaryand intoMarch,”saidListerman.

Highlands’ Justin Weyer (14), driving the ball past the Brossart Mustangs ayear ago, returns for the Bluebirds.

FORTTHOMAS—Momentsaf-ter the Highlands football teamdismantled visiting LexingtonCatholic 47-26 in the Nov. 28Class 4A state semifinal at Da-vid Cecil Memorial Stadium,Bluebirds first-year head coachBrian Weinrich was talking atmidfield with the man he re-placed, Highlands athletic di-rector Dale Mueller.

Mueller congratulatedWein-rich on getting the Bluebirdsback to the state final, looked athim and said, “Road trip.”

After four straight playoffwins in Fort Thomas, the high-flying Bluebirds will take theirshow on the road, and play Ow-ensboro in next Saturday’s 2:30p.m. state championship gameat Western Kentucky Univer-sity’s Feix Field at Houchens-L.T. Smith Stadium in BowlingGreen. The Bluebirds are aver-aging 40 points per game in thepostseason.

Owensboro stunned North

Oldham, 27-24, with a last-sec-ond, deflected Hail Mary for atouchdown in Friday’s othersemifinal. The play was fea-turedprominently onESPNandseveral national sports sites.

Last year’s state runner-up,Highlands is seeking a seventh

Kentucky High School AthleticAssociation state crown in eightyears and 23rd overall.

“It’s great to be going back,”said Highlands running backGriffin Urlage, who rushed fora career-high 182 yards on 16carries with three touchdowns

Friday. “Thank you, O-line.That’s all I have to say aboutthat.”

Highlands improved to 12-2while snapping the Knights’nine-game winning streak andending their season at 10-4. TheBluebirds’ physical offensiveline opened huge running lanesfor Urlage, running mate NickKendall and quarterback BeauHoge, and helped keep Hogeupright in passing pockets.

“The line came through, justlike last week,” coach Weinrichsaid. “AndI thoughtourdefenseplayed well, with good pres-sure.”

Highlands, a loser to Collinsin last year’s title game, won itsfifth game in a row. The Blue-birds amassed 523 total yards.They totaled 317 on the groundand 206 by air.

They had seven sacks on de-fense, two each by DanielKremer, Tyler Robinson andDonnie Mills, and one by RoccoPangallo, who also forced afumble.Mills recovered it. Bra-dy Murray had key tackles for

loss. JacobNoe cameupwith aninterception. Because of thesacks, the Knights totaled mi-nus-46 yards rushing.

“We’ve still got to take careof business,” said Hoge. Hethrew for all 206 passing yards,rushed 16 times for 137 yardsand had a hand in four touch-downs, threeontheground.“Wedidn’t take care of business lastyear, and we want to this time.”

The Bluebirds made theKnights pay for their gamblingways on Friday. LexCath at-tempted four onside kicks, re-covering none. The first camewith 9:54 to play in the firstquarter, after theKnights tooka7-0 lead on Reese Ryan’s 34-yard touchdown pass to J.J. Og-bogu. LexCath failed on severalfourth-down attempts, many inHighlands territory.

After the Knights took theironly lead, Highlands scoredfour consecutive touchdowns togo up, 28-7 on the way to a 28-13halftime lead. Hoge scored on a

NEWPORT — Amongmany holiday blessings,Dan Wagner feels privi-leged to have a runningback with the skills of ju-nior Jacob Smith.

Smith’s athleticismand elusiveness, alongwith a key punt returnfrom another dangerousthreat in senior receiverNate Enslen, lifted Wag-ner’s Newport CentralCatholic football team toan easy 43-14 win overShelby Valley Nov. 28 in aClass2Astatesemifinal inPikeville.

NewCath scored all itspoints in the first half, ledby four total touchdownsfrom Smith. He had 226yards rushing in the halfand also found the end-zone on a 78-yard punt re-turn that amazed his headcoach. Smith has 1,485rushingyards and 29 totalTDs this season.

“Sometimes he doessomething like that puntreturnandIjustshakemyhead,”Wagner said. “He’sawfully good in the openfield. Enslen is very good,too. It’s nice to have bothof them back there.”

NewCath (8-5), win-ners of eight of its lastnine games after an 0-4start, will play DeSales(13-1) in thestate final3:30p.m. EDT Friday, Dec. 5,atWesternKentuckyUni-versity inBowlingGreen.

The Thoroughbredsadvanced there after a

quick start against theWildcats. Wagner knewhis teamhad to be aggres-sive after taking a 220-mile jaunt to the easternedge of the state.

After SV got the ballfirst, NewCath forced theWildcats into a three-and-out. Smith took the han-doff on NewCath’s firstplay fromscrimmageandburst away for a 50-yardtouchdown. SV’s secondpossession was just asshort, and Enslen re-turned the ensuing puntall theway back for a14-0NCC lead.

“That was the biggestthing we wanted to do,was get started early,”Wagner said. “We cameout of the chute ready toplay and we got after

them very quickly. Weknew it was the first timethey had been there andthat theywere going to beveryexcitedandwewant-edtotakethemoutof that.Going up14-0 was key be-cause they’re a runningfootball team.”

The road win earnedthe Thoroughbreds a re-match with the DeSalesColtsfromLouisville,whobeat them 34-26 in lastyear’s state final. TheColts have only allowed101 points in 14 games,seven per contest, andhave not allowed morethan 17 in any game. De-Sales lost17-0 toChristianAcademy-Louisville inthe regular season for itsonly defeat, and avengedthatsetbackwitha7-6win

in the playoffs.Not counting the semi-

final win over Murray(14-7), the Colts haverushed for more than 230yards a contest andthrown for less than 90 agame.

Dylan Bird, who had137 rushingyards and twoscores in last year’s statefinal, is gone, and thisyear’s rushing attack isspread out among severaldifferent ballcarriers.First-year quarterbackAustin Johnson attempts10 passes a game and hasthrownfor1,130yardsand13 TDs through13 games.

“They’re very well-coached. They’re verydisciplined,”Wagnersaid.“They run more thanthrow. We know whatwe’re getting into.They’re not 13-1 by acci-dent. They play in theLouisville area so they’reused to the best competi-tion.”

Wagner and the teamare looking forward to astrong week of practice.

“I’m impressed withthe way we’ve maturedthroughout the year as in-dividuals,” Wagner said.“We just have to concen-trateandgetbetter.We’vegotten better every weekandI feel ourbest footballis ahead of us. We’ll try toeliminate a mistake hereand there and go downthere and see what hap-pens.”

CAMPBELL COUNTY —The Campbell Countyboys basketball team hadunmatched success lastyear, winning the 10th Re-gion and advancing to theSweet 16 for the first timesince 2001.

The Camels have a lotreturning as they try to re-peat as champions, andtheyalso face thepressureof being the proverbial“hunted.”

Head coach Aric Rus-sell graduated three keycontributors but has plen-ty of experience comingback.

“We have to stay hum-ble work harder than ev-erybody else,” Russellsaid. “We have some greatteams in the 10th and theyare all gunning for us. Wehave a target on our backsfor sure and we will haveto be ready to play everynight. I have to make sureour kids realize that theyhave tocompeteeverydayin practice and bring theirA game every night weplay. It will not be easy torepeat but we really willgive it our best shot.”

Making the task easierare two of Northern Ken-tucky’s best players aswell as the 10th Region inDre Jackson andMattWil-son. Jackson, a 6-foot-3senior guard, averaged18.6 points and 2.3 assistsper game. Matt Wilson, a6-8 junior center, posted adouble-double with 12points and 10.3 rebounds agame. He drew a lot of no-tice with 16 points and 21boards in Campbell’sSweet 16 loss to JohnsonCentral.

It is the season wherefoodmay be plentiful andleftovers seem to takeover the refrigerator.

It is a great idea to useyour left-overs tostretch thebudget andprovidequickmeals forthe family.Sometimesit is even agood ideato plan tomake extrafood tosave for

later. It reduces yourwork load and can savetime and energy, too.

Leftovers must bestored and reheated safe-ly to prevent foodborneillnesses. Follow thesetips to ensure your left-overs are safe to eat:

Take some time tomake room in the refrig-erator and freezer forfoods and leftovers.

Refrigerate leftoverswithin two hours of thefood sitting at room tem-perature. Bacteria growbest at temperaturesbetween 40 and140 de-grees F. Use an appliancethermometer to makesure your refrigerator isset between 35 and 40degrees F.

For quicker cooling,

divide leftovers intosmaller portions in shal-low containers. Stir foodsto help them cool fasterand do not overpack thestorage containers. Placethe hot food directly intothe refrigerator.

Label and date all left-overs. Eat or freeze anyleftovers within three tofour days. Consume orfreeze gravy within twodays.

Most frozen leftoversshould be used within acouple of months for thebest quality.

Once you are ready toeat your leftovers, reheatthem so the internal tem-perature of the foodreaches 165 degrees F.Check the temperaturewith a food thermometer.Safely reheat soups,sauces and gravies bybringing them to a boil.

When reheating in amicrowave, make surethere are no cold spots inthe food where bacteriacould survive. Stir androtate food for even heat-ing.

Enjoy the foods of theseason but make a plan soyou are not overwhelmedby the leftovers.

BURLINGTON — Fam-ilies are invited to createhandmade treats andmemories inside An OldKentucky Christmas atFirst Church of ChristDec. 11-14.

A pioneer village,choir concerts and can-dlelight services featur-ing a “Silent Night” sing-along are part of a freecelebration of Christmasat the church’s campus at6080 Camp Ernst Road,Burlington.

Ways to wax nostalgicabout the 19th century in-clude making candles byhandand takingaride inahorse-drawn carriageseating up to 16 peopleper trip.

More than 1,000 volun-teers have worked sinceMarch to create the pio-neer village, said volun-teer director Alissa Lan-caster of Hebron.

“We dress in period at-tire, which adds a neat ef-fect to that old pioneersetting,” she said.

Lancaster said shewillwear a pioneer-style skirtand button-down blousewith an apron. She’s hop-

ing to add a bonnet.Inside the village

shops are activities in-cluding a chance for chil-dren to decorate and eattheir own chocolate-cov-ered pretzels, said BrianHeckber, of Hebron,church outreach pastor.

There is no cost to attendor participate in any ac-tivities, Heckber said.

“Our goal is each shopthe kids can come in andexperience doing some-thing themselves andwalk away with some-thing,” he said.

Families receive a 5x7print and photo emailedto them from the freephoto booth inside thechurch, he said.

There is a petting zoo,hot chocolate station andquilting demonstrations,Heckber said.

Inside the woodwork-er’s shop, Erlanger resi-dent Gary Webster willuse a foot-powered latheto demonstrate carvingtechniques.

“He invites the kids tocomeback andwatchhimand they get little woodornaments – wood cut-outs of a Christmas tree,”Heckber said.

A Pioneer Games stopwill allowchildren toplaywith tops, checkers and aJacob’s Ladder gamemade of string and wood,he said.

A pen and quill stopwill be decorated as anone-room schoolhouse.Children will try to writeonapieceofpaperbydip-

ping a quill into ink,Heckber said.

An Old KentuckyChristmas, in its thirdyear, grew out of thechurch’s song-filled can-dlelight service, he said.

“Everybody gets acandlewhen they come inand we’ll sing ‘SilentNight’ together,” Heckb-er said.

Senior Pastor GregMarksberry will give ashort speech at each ser-vice, and the church’schoir performs, he said.

“We kind of see this asa gift our church gives tothe community to allowpeople to make somememories,” Heckbersaid.

FORT WRIGHT — Amonument honoringfamily members of fall-en soldiers will soon beplaced in the garden ofthe city building, follow-ing the death of FortWright native and GreenBeret, Sgt. Daniel TylerLee.

Daniel’s parents, Danand Fran Lee, visited thecity building to thankDaniel Kreinest, thechief of police, for coor-dinating all the effortsfor the funeral, includingworking with the air-ports.

Dan Lee said his fam-ily was truly apprecia-tive for the help it re-ceived regarding his son,who died on Jan. 15 in Af-ghanistan from gunshotwounds.

“We went there tothank him for all his ef-forts because it went sosmoothly,” Lee said.“When we were ap-proaching the city build-ing, we happened to see amonument. We thoughtabout what a nice idea itwould be if they couldhave something for thefallen soldiers.”

Lee’s employer, Ax-cess Financial, offered todonate money in Daniel’sname for his parents tospend however theywanted.

Lee told council mem-bers about a sculpture heandhiswife sawatDoverAir Force Base in Dela-ware when they flewthere to receive theirson’s body.

He said it took them alittle while to understandthemeaning of the sculp-ture,which is titled, “TheAngel and the Dying Un-known,” by sculptorGreg Wyatt.

“His sculpture justtouched us somuchwhenwe were at Dover,” hesaid. “It was probablyone of the only pleasantmemories we broughtback from Dover AirForce Base.”

City CouncilmembersScott Wall and Adam Fei-nauer contactedWyatt tosee if he was interestedin creating the sculpture.

“We felt like this hasbeen a sign from God,”Wall said. “We Googledhim right away and Mr.Wyatt responded.”

The impactWall said the city has a

monument for all ofthose who serve, but itdoesn’t have anythingfor those who are killedin action.

Lee said the impact ofthe sculpture may affectpeople differently, de-pending on the meaningthey find.

“It’s an opportunityforpeople to see the actu-al artwork in the sculp-ture, and what it standsfor,”he said. “It’s basical-ly an angel that’s pickingup a fallen soldier. It re-minds you that when youpass from this world,you’re not alone. It’s oneof those sculptures thattakes a little bit for you toabsolutely absorb it.”

According to Lee,there is a similar sculp-ture in Arlington Nation-

al Cemetery that Wyattcreated as well, but hehopes families are fortu-nate enough to not havetomake a personal trip tosee the monuments.

“Hopefully peoplenever have the opportu-nity to go to Dover,” Leesaid. “I hope no one everhas to go through that.But at least they wouldget to see and appreciatethe artwork.”

ThemessageLee gave a few words

of guidance to familieswho are currently goingthrough a similar situa-tion.

“It’s going to test yourfaith in God, but you justhave to be strong,” hesaid.

According to Lee,there was a young GreenBeret who was one of thepallbearers at Daniel’sfuneral.

He and his wife askedthe soldier if this hap-pened to him, how wouldhe want his parents toact.

The soldier respondedsaying, “This was his lifechoice. It’s what hewant-ed to do and he under-stood the risks. Hewouldwant his parents to behappy that he went outserving his country.”

Wall said he is going tospeak for the rest of thecouncil members, andhopefully the citizens aswell, to say that layingdown one’s life for theircountry is as noble athing as there is in life.

“We get to live freelyand peacefully,” Wallsaid. “Theonly reasonweget to do that is becausethese guys have giventheir lives. We are veryhonored that we willhave a spot where peoplecan come and reflectupon that.”

According to Wall, the

target time for the pro-ject to be finished is late-March 2015.

There will be a cere-mony with many digni-taries invited, and Wyattis planning on beingthere.

Do you know any soldiers fromthe city of Fort Wright whohave died in battle? Pleasehelp identify them so they canbe recognized on the monu-ment by contacting city ad-ministrator Gary Huff at 859-331-1700.

THANKS TO SCOTT WALL

According to the sculptor Greg Wyatt, the sculpture "GuardianAngel" features a much more developed red beeswax model,which when finished, will be transported to the Modern ArtFoundry in New York City for lost wax bronze casting. At theend of the process, an eight-sided bronze pedestal will bearc-welded permanently to the bottom of the sculpturememorial.

The Shop with a Copprogram is changing thelives ofyoungpeople andvolunteers involved inseveral local communi-ties.

The Erlanger andElsmere police depart-ments have teamed up tooffer Shopwith a Cop, anall-day event, for morethan 20 years, accordingto Erlanger Sgt. ToddBrendel.

Thekidsarepickedupfor shopping, come to thestation for food donatedby local businesses, andthen visit Danbarry Cin-emas in Florence for amovie. In addition, theygive eachchild’s family aKroger gift card forChristmas dinner.

“It’s aprettyawesomeday,” Brendel said. “It’sgreat to see their faceslightup.It’sagoodoppor-tunity for them to see adifferentsideofofficers.Here we are in a positivesituation providingsomething special forthem.”

Money is raisedthroughout the year,Brendel said, by simplysending out letters to lo-cal businesses and resi-dents.Eachyearabout25children are selectedfrom local schools to par-ticipate in the program.

Howell ElementarySchool counselor PamBoyle said the programmakes a real differencein the kids’ lives.

“We pick kids whoneed financial help, but

also thosewho need goodrole models,” she said.“Students really benefitwith spending time withthe officers. They’reworkingwith someone inauthority who is friendlyand helping them maketheir family’s Christmasbetter. It really givesthemabetteroutlookandattitude.”

Erlanger Police De-partment also partnerswith theVillaHillsPoliceDepartment and theCrescent Springs andVilla Hills Fire Depart-ment for the program.

This programhas alsobeen going on for about20 years. Erlanger be-came involved after itsmerger with the Cres-cent Springs Police De-partment.

They too take the kidsout shopping, and theninvite them back to thefirehouse for awrappingparty.

“We all have a goodtime,” said VillaHills Po-lice Chief Brian Allen.

“And the kids get to havea little bit of a betterChristmas they wouldn’totherwise have.”

River Ridge PrincipalShawna Harney said it’sa great time for the kids.

“This is a time of yearwherewecanbringsomejoy to those in need,” shesaid. “This program isanother great way toreach students and fam-ilies who need that extraboost.”
