JUNIOR NEWSPAPERCARRIERS NEEDED

Traditionally low voter turn-out in state elections, expectedto be below 30 percent in North-ern Kentucky Nov. 3, is seen as anegative for having clout withstate lawmakers in Frankfort.

Election Day polls in Ken-tucky will be open from 6 a.m.-6p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 3. Choosing anew governor and voting forcandidates for five other stategovernment jobs will be allmany voters see on their bal-lots.

A special road tax for VillaHills property owners andelecting a new mayor in ColdSpring are the only contested lo-cal races on the ballot in North-ern Kentucky.

“Candidates go where thevotes are, and while there are intheory a lot of votes in our re-gion given our size, the fact thatwe under punch our weight onElection Day means that we getless attention from statewideelected officials,” Trey Gray-son, president and CEO of theNorthern Kentucky Chamberof Commerce.

“That lack of attention hurtsour efforts to achieve our re-gional priorities,” Grayson said.

Grayson has been KentuckySecretary of State and cam-paigned for a U.S. Senate seat in2010. Grayson said he spentmore time campaigning insoutheastern Kentucky duringhis Senate primary because thatregion has higher voter turnout.The actual population was lessimportant than turnout levels.

Campbell County Clerk JimLuersen predicts 20 percent ofregistered voters will show upto vote. That’s counting ColdSpring where turnout will be

higher because of a heated may-oral election, Luersen said.

Luersen said when he cam-paigned for his office in 2014,many people told him they onlyvote in U.S. presidential elec-tions while the governor’s of-fice and other state offices havemore impact on people’s dailylives.

“We’d have a more powerfulvoice in Frankfort if we hadmore votes up here,” he said.

Kenton County Clerk GabeSumme said she does not knowwhat to expect for voter turnoutacross the county.

“My only prediction at thispoint is that there will be a largeturnout in Villa Hills becausethey have a tax question on theirballot,” Summe said. “This isusually what brings people tothe polls.”

Boone County Clerk KennyBrown said he expects turnoutto be as high as 27-28 percentbased upon people coming outto vote for Republican MattBevin.

tory in the Republican gu-bernatorial primary elec-tion in May.

Boone County’s turn-out was 21.8 percent fouryears ago in a similarelection where state of-fices were primarily whatwas on the ballot, Brownsaid.

Voting in state officeelections is important no

matter who the candi-dates are, he said.

“It’s an opportunitythat Northern Kentuckyhas not traditionally takenadvantage of to show wehave clout in Frankfort byshowing up at the polls,”Brown said.

People need to show upto vote no matter whatparty or candidate theychoose, he said.

“It lets Frankfort knowwe’re active and we havea voice to be heard uphere,” Brown said.

From who is on the bal-lot to what you need tovote, here is what votersneed to know for ElectionDay.

Polling precincts inKentucky will be openfrom 6 a.m.-6 p.m. Tues-day, Nov. 3. All voters willhave a chance to chooseKentucky’s next governorand lieutenant governorand five other state of-fices.

Locally, a special elec-tion for a replacementCold Spring mayor and atax question in Villa Hills

are the only seriously con-tested local elections.

Only one candidate islisted on the ballot for fourschool board seats in Ken-ton and Campbell countiesand a Boone County jus-tice of the peace/magis-trate.

Campbell County ClerkJim Luersen said peopleneed to remember tobring some type of identi-fication, either with a pho-tograph, a social securitycard or a credit card witha signature, to the polls.

“It shouldn’t take verylong to vote,” Luersensaid. “We have good pollworkers and lines should

be short.”People with any ques-

tions can always call theirlocal clerk’s office, hesaid.

Kenton County ClerkGabrielle Summe saidpeople should review theballot before going to thepolls available at her of-fice’s website.

“My tips for anyone go-ing to the polls, is alwaysto verify your poling loca-tion,” Summe said.

There is always the po-tential for changes to loca-tions, she said.

“It is also importantthat they know which pre-cinct is their precinct,”Summe said. “So someonegoing to River Ridge Ele-mentary where all fiveVilla Hills precincts arelocations would want toknow if they are Villa HillsNo. 1 or Villa Hills No. 3.”

Getting to the correcttable to check in makesthe voting process faster,she said.

Boone County ClerkKenny Brown said peopleliving in parts of the TripleCrown area of Union whoused to go to RichwoodPresbyterian Church tovote have a new place to

sington Precinct has beenmoved to First Church ofChrist at 12993 FrogtownRoad, Walton. Richwood’sprecinct will remain atRichwood PresbyterianChurch.

Jennifer Roberts knowsfirst hand the challengesof being a young girl. Shewas once one herself andnow she’s sharing the ex-perience with her daugh-ter Hailey, 10.

“There is a lot of pres-sure in today’s world tolook a certain way and acta certain way,” Robertssaid. “Young girls need tobuild up their self-esteemat an early age and knowthat they are beautiful,both inside and out.”

That’s why last yearand this year, she and Hai-ley will attend KentonCounty Schools’ RealBeauty Workshop. Theworkshop is for girls ages9 to 11. The event will beheld 6-8 p.m. Friday, Nov.13, at Kenton ElementarySchool library.

Kenton Family Re-source Center coordina-tor, Melody Simms saidthe workshop addresseshow society creates “ide-al” images of beauty andengages young girls in ahealthy dialogue aboutself-esteem.

“This workshop re-minds our girls and all ofus women that we are allspecial and unique andthat is what makes usbeautiful,” he said. “It alsoprepares them for inci-dents in life where theymay not be treated well byothers. They’ll learn tohandle these and otherchallenges with confi-dence. This will buildwithin them security inwho they are and they’llbe able to carry this on notonly in their own lives, butother women. These girls

will one day be mothersand be in the work place.They will take the skillsthey’ve learned here andwill be able to build otherwomen up.”

Simms said workshopslike this are so importantbecause society is “feed-ing so many negativeideas into our children.”

“Everyday you hearabout eating disordersand depression,” she said.“These are things evenour children can fall into

if we’re not making a con-scious effort to keep themfocused on what’s reallyimportant about them-selves – their uniquenessand inner beauty. We haveto remind them of this onpurpose. Becoming a se-cure adult woman doesnot happen by accident.Our children need toolsand resources and toknow that they are sur-rounded by people whocare about them.”

In the early morning, inthe foggy mist, by a ceme-tery, Randy was walkinghome and sees another boyand asked his name.

“What’s your name?”“My name is Bob. What’s

your name?”“Randy,” I said.“I’m heading home from

a sleepover at my friend’shouse. Looks spooky withall this fog, doesn’t it?”

“Yes, it does,” said Bob.“Do you live close to

here?” Randy asked. Bob said, “Yes, I live

right across the street inthat red house with thewhite car in the driveway.”

“Nice house, “ Randytold Bob.

“Thanks,” said Bob. And

they walkedseparateways.

The nextday Randythought hewould stop atBob’s house totalk againsince they

seemed to hit it off the daybefore. Randy wanted toknow if Bob wanted to joinhis baseball team. As Ran-dy walked past the ceme-tery a black cat jumped ashe reached the corner tocross the street. Randythought to himself, I’m gladthat cat wasn’t here yester-day with that fog, I wouldhave really been creepedout.

So Randy brushed offseeing the black cat andwent to Bob’s house. Heknocked on the door andwaited several minutes andas he was about to leave the

door slowly opened. “Yes, can I help you

young man?” the lady said. “Hello, I’m Randy. I was

talking with your son yes-terday and I wanted to seeif he was home so I couldtalk with him again.”

The lady gasped, andsaid, “That’s not true; youcouldn’t have talked withmy son.”

I said, “Well, we talkedyesterday right across thestreet by the cemetery andhe told me he lived here.”

The lady went on to ex-plain her son was killed bya drunk driver four yearsago yesterday and wasburied at that cemeteryacross the street. Randytold the lady he was sorryto bother her and sorry forher loss. Randy walkedaway, looking at the ceme-tery, wondering who orwhat he talked with the daybefore.

The door flew open asJack’s foot thrust open theancient mahogany doors, and

stale air nearlysuffocated him.The mansionappeared to beanything butvoid, the fif-teenth centuryfurniture wasstrewn through-out the place.The eerie si-

lence, however, was deaf-ening He made his waythrough the threshold recall-ing the novel he had comeacross at the village library.

The age old cover depicteda fair young woman with themost alluring blue eyes imag-inable. Jack was thoroughly

intrigued, and tore throughthe novel. The century oldauthor told of a maiden whomurdered her husband short-ly after their arranged mar-riage. The town locked thegirl in the mansion for eterni-ty knowing the dementedwoman would eventuallyperish. Jack had heard ru-mors that the mansion thestory described was the oldLandol Mansion in the ruralpart of Salem.

He felt that it was his dutyto – though it seemed unat-tainable because of the twohundred year lapse- save themaniac damsel.

He walked across the de-bilitated floor making his wayto the magnificent, breathtak-ing stairway. He began hisascent up the marble thesecond floor. He lookedaround. A monstrous chande-lier dangled from the lino-leum ceiling, dainty specks ofcrystal shimmering in themoonlight. Cobwebs veiledthe atmosphere and a grandi-ose window allowed moon-light to reveal the dust parti-

cles sailing through the air.The creak of each step

taken was practically ear-splitting until a melodic humreached Jack’s ears. He saw abeautiful portrait of the wom-an and her husband in thehall, ignoring the harmoniousmurmur. The women had thesame beautiful piercing eyesand raven hair. The man’sface was unrecognizableseeing that it was clawed toshreds. Moving on, Jackfound an immense mahoganydoor practically identical tothe entrance.

He figured that this wouldlead him to the west towerthat he had been searchingfor. He nearly tripped over adecrepit divan leading to theclimb. Jack reached the peakof the stairs and the subtlehum turned into a dull roar.The door was mysteriouslyunlocked, and Jack invitedhimself in.

Moonlight exposed a multi-tude of tick marks that hadbeen etched into the stonewall. Jack’s candlelight wasextinguished when the wind

from the storm blew open theshudders. The lightning’sluster brought a large bed tohis attention. A petite figureleft a silhouette; only visiblebecause of the moonlight.Jack crept over to the maid-en. At the edge of the bedpostwas a plaque.

“This maiden, possessedby mortal malignance, cannotreceive true love’s penance.For thy poor soul who hathbeen misled, one small kissshall leave thou dead. For thisis a sadistic murderess, andthou cannot put her punish-ment to rest.”

Unshaken by the passage,Jack was made utterly deafunder the hum, and practical-ly lost consciousness. Hestooped over the damsel, andwas petrified by the blood redlips. Temptation engulfedhim, and Jack gave into onesmall kiss. Instantaneously,Jack withered. The last thinghe was aware of was the flut-tering open of the fatal blueeyes and venomous laughter.

Evidently, some rumorsare true.

Along with creeks andrivers, the licks ofBoone County were

landmarks to the early settlerslong before anyone even re-ferred to ZIP codes or sub-divisions, writes Tom Schifferof the Boone County HistoricPreservation Board.

“Ancient trails wide enoughto pass two wagons abreastwere worn in the sod and for-est by animals in search ofsalt.”

For thousands of years, BigBone Lick salt springs attract-ed a diversity of animals in-cluding bison, mammoth, and

mastodon, as well as the peoplewho hunted and scavengedthese animals.

The 33rd annual Salt Festi-val took place Oct. 16-18 at BigBone Lick State Historic Site.The festival in Boone Countyfeatured demonstrations ofpioneer living and skills, fron-tier life and Native Americanskills and traditions.

It was a great event withterrific weather, said DeanHenson, park manager of BigBone Lick State Historic Site.

“We had around 6,000 peo-ple in attendance for the week-end,” Henson said.

OCTOBER 29, 2015 • SOUTH KENTON RECORDER • 7ANEWS

This still boggles my mind: Halloween is second onlyto Christmas as the most decorated holi-day. Not so when I was a kid. The housewasn’t decorated, and the eight girls in ourfamily were either witches or gypsies. Mybrother, Charlie, the last bornwas always ahobo. We used whatever we could find todress up and we left at dark, by ourselves,and came home with grocery paper bagsfull of treats. Mom didn’t have to lookthrough them to see if they were safe.

Fast forward to Halloween 2015. Even ifparental rules are stricter, Halloween isstill so much fun! Here are some good last

minute recipes for a ghoulishly good Halloween.

Homemade microwave popcornCheck out my Abouteating.com site. You won’t believe

how easy and inexpensive, not to mention healthy andamazingly tender it is. (Hint: 1/2 cup unpopped cornmakes a generous 8 cups, but there’s a secret technique!).

Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educator, Jungle Jim’s East-gate culinary professional and author. Find her blog online atAbouteating.com. Email her at [email protected] with“Rita’s kitchen” in the subject line. Call 513-248-7130, ext. 356.

Homemade Halloween treats kids can help make‘Glowing’ swamp punch

Let the kids help. They love the creepycrawler ice ring.

1 cup boiling water2 packages, 4-serving size each, lime

gelatin3 cups cold water1-1/2 quarts carbonated lemon-lime

soda, chilledPour boiling water over gelatin and stir

until dissolved. Stir in cold water. Pourinto punch bowl. Stir in soda, makingmixture fizz.

Unmold ice ring by dipping bottom ofmold briefly into hot water. Float inpunch. Serve cups garnished withgummy worms.

Creepy crawler ice ring1 cup gummyworms or other creepy crawler gummies

1 quart lemon-lime sports drink likeGatorade

Arrange gummy worms in bottom of5-cup ring mold; fill with Gatorade. Freezeuntil solid.

Black cat cookie pops

Again, let the kids help. Don’t worry iftheir cookies look like something other thancats. It’s about creativity and fun, not perfec-tion.

1 cup creamy peanut butter1/3 cup water2 eggs1 box chocolate cake mixPopsicle sticksSugarCandy corn, red hots

Preheat oven to 350. Beat peanutbutter with water and eggs. Add cake mixand mix. Form into 1-1/2” balls and place onsprayed cookie sheet. Push in a popsiclestick. Flatten with bottom of glass dipped insugar. Pinch two “ears” at top of cookie.Press fork into dough to form whiskers oneither side of nose. Bake 10-12 minutes.Remove from oven and immediately addcandy corn eyes and red-hot nose, pushingin gently. If they happen to fall off after theycool, glue them on with a little powderedsugar glaze or canned frosting. Makes 2-3dozen

My best caramel corn

This makes a lot so feel free to divide in half. Adding dried fruitelevates this to a new dimension.

Preheat oven to 200 degrees.

15-16 cups or so of popped cornAbout 3 cups salted mixed nuts2 sticks or butter2 cups brown sugar1/2 cup light corn syrup1/2 teaspoon salt1 tablespoon vanilla1/2 teaspoon baking soda2 cups dried cranberries, cherries or apricots (opt)

To avoid sticking, use vegetable spray to coat both inside oflarge bowl, cookie sheets and spoons that you will use. Put popcornand nuts in bowl. Set aside. Over medium heat in a large pan, bringto a boil everything but the soda. Boil 5 minutes. Add baking sodaand stir. Mixture will foam up. Immediately pour over popcorn mix-ture, stirring well to coat. Pour in a single layer onto sprayed cookiesheets. Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to distribute coating.Let cool for coating to harden; add fruit, and store at room temper-ature in covered containers. Makes about 20 cups.

Tip from Rita’s kitchenAfter popping corn, place in colander or bowl and scoop up

popcorn gently with hands. Any unpopped corn will lie in bottom ofbowl.

Nov. 3, 2015, will be animportant day in Kentuck-y’s history and most Ken-tuckians won’t even botherto participate.

It is Election Day for allstate offices and some localoffices.

For some reason 75 per-cent of the registered vot-ers in the state do not seemto care about who getselected to these offices.

I was the County Clerkfor Campbell County forthe past 25 years, conduct-ed over 48 elections andstill cannot figure out whythe voters won’t take thetime to vote in these elec-tions.

Our next governor willhave a great influence inour lives for the next fouror eight years effectingKentucky’s financialgrowth, education, jobs, taxgrowth, health care, retire-ment programs and manyother facets of our lives.

And still, in the pastthree governors elections,less than 27 percent of thevoters actually caredenough to come out andvote. Three out of fourvoters seem not to care andthat is a shame.

Kentucky has one of themost lenient requirementsfor voting in all elections.In Campbell, Kenton andBoone counties, there areover 200 voting precinctsopen from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.on Election Day.

If you are incapacitatedor out of town on ElectionDay, just call your clerk’soffice and request an ab-sentee ballot be sent to you.All three clerks’ officeswill be open for absenteevoting at least three weeksbefore the election. Callyour county clerk to see ifyou are eligible to voteabsentee.

Your vote does county.Make your voice be

heard. Please go out onTuesday, Nov. 3, 2015 andcast your vote in this veryimportant election.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Everyelection isimportant

The 2015 public schoolaccountability reports are out,and even Kentucky educa-tion’s staunchest supportersadmit the test data do not lookso hot. At best, the academictest performances for thestate’s elementary and middleschools are “flat.”

The testing news is partic-ularly bad for Kentucky’slargest racial minority group.White-minus-black achieve-ment gaps grew in every areatested between 2012 and 2015on both the EXPLORE (Grade8) and PLAN (Grade 10) col-lege-readiness tests.

The only news worth cheer-ing about concerns the state’srising high school graduationrate and the proportion ofthose graduates who suppos-edly are ready for either col-lege or a career.

But, could even this cheer-ing be misguided?

The state’s official Collegeand/or Career ReadinessRates (CCR), as the reportedstatistics should properly be

labeled, cameunder seriousscrutiny in aDecember2014 reportfrom the Ken-tucky Legisla-tive ResearchCommission’sOffice of Edu-cation Ac-countability(OEA). TheOEA’s report

provides disturbing evidencethat increases in the CCR areoverstated.

The OEA points out that theCCR increases mostly comefrom the college readinesspart of the calculation, andmost of those increases actu-ally come from two collegeplacement tests, the KYOTEand COMPASS. By compari-son, improvement on the ACTcollege entrance test has beenmodest, at best.

The problem is that collegefreshmen who only qualify ascollege ready thanks to the

KYOTE or COMPASS producelow GPAs.

The OEA’s study examinesa total of 12,164 Kentuckypublic college freshmen in thespring of 2013 who were de-clared college ready upongraduating from high school.Of that group, 2,696 students –22 percent of the total – postedGPAs below 2.0 at the end oftheir freshman year. Giventheir low college GPAs, thosestudents really didn’t lookready.

Thus, actual college resultsindicate the CCR numbersKentucky’s educators aretouting appear to be mislead-ingly inflated.

Even worse, thousands ofKentucky students got set upfor college failure. Told theywould not have to take reme-dial courses, these studentsdidn’t get the extra help theyclearly needed.

Educators also cheer Ken-tucky’s official 2015 highschool graduation rate of 87.9percent, which sounds im-

pressive – until you applyeven those inflated CCR num-bers to those graduations.Doing this reveals that only58.7 students from each groupof 100 students who enteredthe ninth grade in 2011-12 aspart of what would becomethe Class of 2015 actually re-ceived a meaningful educa-tion that prepared them foreither college or a living-wagecareer. The rest eitherdropped out of school or onlygot a largely empty piece ofpaper during their commence-ment ceremony.

In effect, even using thestate’s own inflated numbers,Kentucky’s “Effective HighSchool Graduation Rate” for2015 is only 58.7 percent.

Hopefully, no one will wantto cheer about that.

Those ‘readiness’ rates might not be so hot

Richard G.InnesCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST

Some of Kentucky’s politicalcircles have recently brandedHead Start, the 50-year-oldearly childhood education pro-gram for low-income 3- and4-year-olds, as an unprovenstrategy for school readiness.They are ignoring the facts.

Detractors point to a 2012Head Start Impact study thatexamined the effectiveness ofHead Start in preparing chil-dren for kindergarten. Thatstudy compared those attend-ing Head Start with a controlgroup of children who did notattend Head Start. The studyconcluded that Head Start iseffective in preparing kids forkindergarten, but that many ofthe cognitive advantages “fadeout” by third grade.

Nobel Laureate and econo-mist James Heckman notesthat the study “overlooks thefact that many Head Startchildren move from a nurtur-ing early education environ-ment into low-quality elemen-tary schools. … Yet, throughoutthe course of their educationand lives, Head Start graduatestend to be more persistent intheir education, more inclinedto healthy behaviors and lessinclined to be involved in crim-inal activity. Early Head Startand Head Start are programson which to build and improve– not to cut.”

Head Start is not just educa-tion – a fact that many detrac-tors fail to grasp. When a childenters Head Start, we partnerwith the entire family. Beyondlearning their colors and num-bers, children develop impor-tant social, emotional, nutri-tional and behavioral skills.And the parents participate inregular education and trainingopportunities to make thembetter parents, better advo-cates and better role modelsthroughout their children’slives.

At our own Head Start pro-gram in Northern Kentucky,we daily witness the differenceHead Start makes for low-income children. Are all thechildren we serve (cognitively)ready for kindergarten when

they leaveHead Start?Certainly not.So, yes, we cando better. But,I have nodoubt thatnearly 100percent ofthose kids areready in theother attri-butes that willmake them

successful in life.Our Head Start staff reg-

ularly address such problemsas homelessness, health anddental problems, substanceabuse and domestic violence,all of which affect a child’sability to perform in school.Certainly, the schools needHead Start as much for thisother work we do with families,as they do for the early literacyand numeracy skills we impart.One child we worked with lastyear, for example, needed suchextensive dental work that hisprimary care physician wasprescribing strong painkillersto get him through the day. OurHead Start staff arranged forlife-changing dental surgeryand then helped the familywean him from the painkillers.Without such intervention, thatchild would certainly not haveperformed well in school.

Quality early childhoodeducation – Head Start includ-ed – provides a significantreturn on investment (7-10percent per annum, accordingto Heckman) through bettereconomic productivity andreduced crime. Proactive in-vestments in quality earlychildhood programs closemany of the achievement andhealth gaps for disadvantagedchildren – gaps that wouldotherwise persist throughoutlife. Those are the facts.

Why wouldn’t we want tomake that investment?

These are tumultuoustimes for law enforcementofficers. Tragic events inplaces like Ferguson, Mis-souri and North Charleston,South Carolina have ignited anational debate concerningpolice methods.

The debate is entirelyappropriate – the wholesalecondemnation of law en-forcement officers is not.

The recent horrific killingof a brave Kentucky StatePolice trooper in WesternKentucky is a stark reminderof the risks willingly takenby our law enforcementofficers in order to keep ussafe.

The law enforcementprofession, like any other, isnot populated by perfectpeople. There are a few –very few – bad officers andthere are times when goodofficers make bad decisionsunder the intense pressure ofthe moment. Effective polic-ing requires a high level oftrust between law enforce-ment officers and the com-munities they serve. A na-tional discussion that servesto improve law enforcementmethods and increase com-munity trust is entirely ap-propriate and a valuablepublic dialogue. No publicservant is above criticism –including those of us whowork in the criminal justicesystem.

The national discussionconcerning law enforcementmethods should not, however,overlook a simple, but cru-cial fact – the overwhelmingmajority of law enforcementofficers are good and ded-icated people engaged in anincredibly difficult job.

Never has the work of alaw enforcement officerbeen more complex, difficultor dangerous. Recent eventsin our commonwealth havemade the nature of law en-forcement work all too clear.Every day thousands of menand women who wear thebadge work diligently tomake our communities bet-ter places to live. They never

know when aroutine shiftwill immedi-ately escalateinto a life anddeath situa-tion. Whenthat happens,our law en-forcementofficers areexpected tostand tall,

make good decisions in asplit second, and protect theinnocent from those whowould do them harm. Some-times, they make the ulti-mate sacrifice while doingso.

Our law enforcementofficers engage in manythankless and unseen tasksthat are essential to protect-ing our homes, our familiesand our freedoms from allsorts of threats, both greatand small. As we go aboutour daily lives, we do so inrelative safety because themen and women who wearthe badge are willing to standin the breach. We know thatthose who choose this profes-sion do it neither for wealthnor fame. They deserve ourappreciation and respect.

As United States Attorneyfor the Eastern District ofKentucky, I am privileged towork closely with local, stateand federal law enforcementofficers representing manyagencies. I am deeply hon-ored to be associated withthese truly admirable menand women and the outstand-ing work they do for us all.

The national dialogueconcerning police methods isimportant, and I encourageeveryone to participate. It isequally important that weacknowledge the braveryand sacrifice of our law en-forcement officers as theygo about their vital work.

The next time you see apolice officer would be agreat time to simply saythanks.

Kerry Harvey is U.S. At-torney for the Eastern Dis-trict of Kentucky.

SHORT HOPS

Community Press

It’s rare that a soccer teamputs two goalkeepers on theall-tournament team for a re-gional final.

The Simon Kenton HighSchool girls soccer team didjust that after winning theEighth Region championshipOct. 22 on its home field. SeniorAbby Thatcher and freshmanSkylin Yates both wore theirblack keeper jerseys proudlyduring the awards presenta-tions after making key plays tohelp the Pioneers to the title.

“They both want to makeplays and Skylin’s capable inthe field, too, so they’ve beenall for the team,” said SK headcoach Rob Zoeller. “It’s allabout the girl next to you. Theywant what’s best for the team.”

SK, 18-3, won its first re-gional title since 2007 and sec-ond overall. Fifteen was theschool’s previous record forwins in a season.

The Pioneers were set tohost Sacred Heart in the stateround of 16 Tuesday, with thewinner advancing to Satur-day’s quarterfinals in Lexing-ton against either Notre Dameor Bishop Brossart.

The Pioneers won the title indramatic fashion, edging Old-ham County in a penalty-kickshootout after the teams hadtied 3-3 in regulation. Yates

and Thatcher alternated in netduring the shootout, and bothproved their worth by makingsaves on Oldham County kick-ers. Thatcher’s save on Old-ham’s fifth kicker clinched thematch, and she sprinted rightover to Yates to embrace herfellow keeper as the rest of theteam sprinted to celebrate

with them.“I wouldn’t pick anyone else

to split time with,” Thatchersaid. “We do that in practice, al-ternating ones, and that mess-es with the other team’s heads.When it hit off my hands, be-fore I even got off the field I

was screaming. I knewthe other team had nochance and that we hadwon. It feels amazingmaking history - senioryear - it’s pretty awe-some.”

Yates, while playing inthe field, scored her firstgoal of the season late inthe semifinals to give SK a2-1 win over defendingstate champ South Old-ham.

In the shootout againstOC, SK took a 3-1 lead af-ter three rounds withgoals by Abigail Zoeller,Kendra Chambers andMegan Buckner. Oldhamscored in the first round,but in the second round,Yates deflected the shotof freshman Tristan Wha-len, who had scored allthree OC markers in reg-ulation. In the third round,OC’s leading scorer OliviaStanley (21 goals) missedover the crossbar.

Oldham scored and Si-mon missed in the fourthround, making it 3-2 be-

fore Thatcher clinchedthe match.

SK took a 2-0 lead 10minutes into the game ongoals by Buckner (her10th) and Morris (29th).Whalen, who had eightgoals coming in to rankthird on the Colonels,scored three in a span of12 minutes before Zoellertied it up in the final min-utes of the half on a toughheader.

“We changed a little bithow we were defending(Whalen) but we were justmore aware,” Zoellersaid. “I’ll take the blame, Ishould have prepared usbetter for her. The kidscame through when itmattered.”

Both teams had severalquality scoring chances inthe second half butcouldn’t keep the scoringfest going.

“It feels great,” Morrissaid. “It’s the furthestwe’ve gotten since I’veplayed here and I’m reallyexcited for state. I had alot of emotions…. We hadto pull ourselves togetherand focus on playing de-fense, not letting it get toour heads, playing the

game we know how toplay and getting it back.”

Morris was named all-tourney with the keepersand Zoeller was the tour-ney MVP.

“We’re a young teamand we made a couple ofsilly mistakes but itworked out in the end,”coach Zoeller said. “I’mproud of the kids. There’sa lot to build on not justthis season but in the fu-ture.”

The Scott footballteam beat Holmes 42-6 inthe nearby rivalry to im-prove to 8-1 and drop theBulldogs to 3-6.

Scott rushed for 268yards and held Holmesscoreless until the fourthquarter.

Scott used a little trick-ery in the second quarterwhen wide receiver Nel-son Perrin threw a 17-yardtouchdown pass to quar-terback Danny Fitzger-ald. Perrin also had a 66-yard TD run and a 17-yardTD score, and Fitzgeraldthrew a 13-yard TD pass toRyan Muck.

Roberto London hadtwo TD runs as Scott led28-0 at the half. Londonhad 77 yards for the game.

Andrew Arnold scoredHolmes’ only TD.

Scott and Simon Ken-ton play in Taylor Mill 7p.m. Friday. Holmes playsat Newport 7 p.m. Friday.

If Ryle was the biggesttest left on Simon Ken-ton’s regular seasonslate, the Pioneers passedwith flying colors.

Simon Kenton rolledover Ryle, 28-7, Fridaynight at Chlorine MenefeeStadium in Independence.Ryle jumped on top 7-0early in the first quarter,but the Pioneers scored 28unanswered to remain un-beaten.

Simon Kenton juniorquarterback CameronRacke threw for twotouchdowns and rushedfor a third as he complet-ed 13-of-26 passes for 216yards with two intercep-tions. The win marked Si-mon Kenton’s fourthstraight over Ryle.

Ryle came into thegame averaging 41.8points and 452.5 yards ofoffense per game, but Si-mon Kenton’s defenseheld them scoreless forthe final 45 minutes of ac-tion after an early score.The Pioneers outgainedthe Raiders 396-337 in to-tal yardage.

The game was playedat a breakneck pace as thetwo teams combined for165 plays. Ryle ran 95 ofthem, but Simon Kenton’s

defense was conditionedfor the challenge.

“We try to play fasttoo,” Simon Kenton coachJeff Marksberry said. “Soour defense has been see-ing that ever since the be-ginning of summer.”

“At first it was reallytiring, but once we adapt-ed we were able to hangwith them,” junior defen-sive lineman MitchellKreidenweis added. “Inthe summer we condi-tioned a lot, so that reallyhelped us. We had the up-per hand as the game wenton because we had theconditioning.”

Ryle’s offense made itlook easy on its openingpossession with a TD.

The Raiders had achance to pad their leadlate in the first quarter af-ter senior linebackerJohnny Meiman inter-cepted Racke and re-turned the ball to mid-field. Ryle drove it downto the Simon Kenton 1-yard line, but was stuffedon 4th-and-goal by the Pio-neers’ defensive front -led by Kreidenweis.

After the Raiders dom-inated most of the firstquarter, that defensivestop completely swungthe momentum in SimonKenton’s favor.

The Pioneers an-swered later in the halfwhen Dillon Powell ledthem on a 10-play, 94-yard

drive by rushing fourtimes for 32 yards, includ-ing a 4-yard touchdown totie the game 7-7 with 8:21left in the second quarter.Powell finished with 117yards on 28 carries.

Marksberry then madea bold decision that paidoff for his team when hecalled for an onside kickthat the Pioneers recov-ered.

“That was huge,”Marksberry said. “It gotour guys’ motors runningand our guys’ juices flow-ing. Our offense was ex-cited to get the ball back.Any time we get the ball,we feel like we can score.”

Racke put the Pioneersahead moments later witha 25-yard touchdownstrike to senior LoganScott. He then gave histeam some breathingroom with a 17-yardtouchdown run to make it21-7 with less than 30 sec-onds left in the half.

After the two teamstraded punts to open thesecond half, Racke brokethe game open with a 78-yard bomb down the leftsideline to junior LukeVance on third down tomake the score 28-7.Vance led the Pioneerswith 127 yards on five re-ceptions.

“We just figured outwhat the defense was do-ing and made adjust-ments,” Vance said. “On

(the touchdown) I was justrunning a simple route,the corner fell, and therewas no one else.”

Simon Kenton juniorTrent Kincaid hauled inhis team-leading sixth in-terception midwaythrough the fourth quar-ter inside the Pioneers’ 5-yard line to help hold theRaiders scoreless in thesecond half.

Ludlow beat Bellevue34-14 to finish the regularseason 6-4. The Pantherssnapped an eight-gamelosing streak to the Tigersdating back to their previ-ous win in 2006. The Pan-thers clinched the No. 2seed in 1A, District 4 andwill play a home game inthe first round of the play-offs.

Lloyd beat Holy Cross42-36. HC, 4-5, will be theNo. 3 seed in the district.

Holy Cross led 22-6 inthe second quarter and 22-14 at halftime, but Lloydscored 22 unansweredpoints in the third quarterto take control.

Second in our series“Is it good or bad forme?” discussed the oftenconflicting informationabout nuts in our diet andif there are possiblehealth issues.

Nutsare aflavorfultreatwhich wehavehistori-callybeenencour-aged tolimit.However,there is

much research going onand the news is verygood.

Nuts are crunchy,versatile, flavorful andloaded with nutrition.They are high in proteinand fiber, cholesterol-freeand contain negligibleamounts of sodium unlesssalted. Some nuts are richin calcium, iron, magne-sium, copper, zinc, potas-sium and/or phosphorus.

While nuts are unques-tionably high in fat (45percent of calories fromfat in cashews to over 75percent in macadamias),the fat is almost entirelymonounsaturated – thekind that clinical studiesdemonstrate can bringdown LDL-cholesterol inthe blood, without affect-ing the level of HDL-cholesterol.

In 2003, the FDA an-nounced, “Scientific evi-dence suggests, but doesnot prove, that eating 1½ounces per day of mostnuts, as part of a diet low

in saturated fat and cho-lesterol, may reduce therisk of heart disease.”

So which nuts are best?Believe it or not, it’s bestto eat a mixed nut mix-ture. While they all have agood nutritional profile,certain nuts contain moreof certain nutrients. Re-member when eating nutsthat they are high in calo-ries, (160-200 calories perounce) so try substitutingthem for other lesshealthy foods in your diet.Visit our website at http://bit.ly/FlavorfulNuts toreview a fact sheet withinformation about indi-vidual nuts, as well asstorage tips.

Nine nutty ways toliven up your food

Sprinkle nuts overcereal or yogurt forbreakfast.

Add nuts to a softcheese to make a tastyspread for crackers orbread.

Mix nuts with popcornor trail mix to make agreat to-go snack. Eatnuts instead of potatochips or other fattysnacks.

Garnish a bowl of soupwith nuts to add textureand color.

Add sliced or choppednuts to any salad to addflavor and crunch.

Use ground nuts andseasonings to coat meat,poultry or fish beforebaking.

been the biggest thing.When I arrived 20 yearsago we had just completedthe studies of the old road.

With the road, we knewdevelopment would becoming and we want topreserve the character ofour community, so I haveworked with residents andofficials on a land use

study to identify the rightdevelopment opportuni-ties.

I’ve also been around tosee us grow from a volun-teer part time fire depart-ment to a volunteer andfull-time department. Thepolice department has alsogone from a state accredi-tation to national accredi-tation.

Also, there’s PridePark. I was here for the ac-quisition of the property.We completely renovated

the house on the propertyinto the community centerand what used to be an 80-acre sheep farm is nowone of the nicest recre-ational destinations inNorthern Kentucky.

Q: What’s the onething you’re most proudof about your work?

A: One think I’m mostproud of is the communityis debt-free and has beenfor years. Not having debthas allowed us to sustainour agency through thetrue downtown of theeconomy.

Q: What does the fu-ture look like for TaylorMill?

A: I’m biased in this butI think the future is verybright for the Taylor Millcommunity. We are reallypoised for tremendouseconomic growth. Thenew highway will do a lotfor access to our commu-nity as well as to the southend of Kenton County.

incredible. If you knowcross country, you real-ize the kids usually runthrough wooded areasand often times theirstatus is unknown untilthey near the end of therace. Such was the casethe first time I saw myson running. Knowinghim like I do, I fullyexpected him to runwell, but the sight of himcoming over the top ofthe hill in first place thatfirst race was truly ex-citing for our team, butespecially for his dad,sisters and me.

Fast forward threeraces and Jonah con-tinued to stay on top

bringing home the firstplace medal every time.His team, comprised ofhis best buddies, Davidand Elijah, broughthome three additionaltrophies.

At the last meet, Godspoke to my heart say-ing, “You’re exactlywhere you need to be.”It was a message I need-ed desperately to hear,because the business ofscheduling practices,securing runners andsnacks, and getting thewhole family up at 5a.m. on Saturdays todrive to the meets wasbeginning to take its toll.In that moment of thatlast race, as my sonwound his way aroundthe course, holding firstplace seemingly effort-lessly, I realized God

had bestowed a veryreal gift on him for run-ning. If I had chosen toturn down the opportuni-ty to coach due to mylack of qualifications,we would have missedthis blessing.

What I learned mostof all is that God doesn’tcall the equipped. He,instead, equips thecalled. When you acceptthe calling, you too willsurely be blessed. If Godis calling you to step outwhere you feel unqual-ified, know this if Hebrought you to it, thenHe will surely take youthrough it.
