ALEXANDRIA — CampbellCounty has hired from withinto fill the county’s top day-to-day managerial job.

Matt Elberfeld, county fi-nance director for two years,was tapped by Fiscal Court tobecome the next county admin-istrator. He will start work inthe new job March 1 after Rob-ert Horine, administrator for13 years, retires.

Pendery said institutionalknowledge Elberfeld gainedworking alongside Horine also

was one posi-tive.

“I also likethe idea of Matthaving a finan-cial backgroundis steeped in ourbudget like noone else,” Pen-

dery said. “He’s a great guyand highly qualified.”

Prior to Elberfeld joiningthe county, he had extensiveexperience auditing local gov-ernments and other organiza-tions as a tax analyst, accord-ing to a news release from the

county.Pendery said before Ho-

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

“After the panic subsided,we went about the business oftrying to replace Robert,” Pen-dery said. “He’s going to besorely missed, and not just be-cause of his competence, butbecause he is also a friend.”

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.

“I think it’s going to be areally good time and we’ll get alot done for Campbell County.”

County elevates Elberfeld to administratorBy Chris [email protected]

COLD SPRING – At her firstCity Council meeting, new May-or Nancy Bay announced shehad fired longtime City Attor-ney Brandon Voelker and con-tracted with Cameron Blau, notto be city attorney, but to pro-vide legal services as an attor-ney for the city.

Voelker had served as legalcounsel for the city for morethan a decade.

During the Jan. 12 specialmeeting, Bay and Blau contend-ed the subtle differences in thetitle allow Blau to maintain acontract with the city whileserving as chief assistant coun-ty attorney for Campbell Coun-ty.

Blau, a lifelong CampbellCounty resident who lost a 2014bid for district court judge, isalso the city attorney for SilverGrove.

Council member AdamSandfoss disagreed with the de-cision and thought councilmembers should have been in-formed, if not consulted, aboutVoelker’s dismissal prior to thepublic meeting.

He said Bay acted “unprofes-sionally and unethically.”

Council member Lou Gerd-ing said Blau could not serve ascity attorney because of his oth-er offices, and he also said themayor could appoint a city at-torney, but her appointment hadto be approved by council.

Bay said she did not appoint

Blau as city attorney, as he iscontracted, so his new positiondidn’t need to be approved bycouncil.

“I’m not picking a city attor-ney. I’m picking an attorney to

represent the city,” said Bay. During the council meeting

Bay said she considered threeattorneys and chose Blau, whowill be paid $2,000 per month,not to exceed $24,000 per year.

Additional costs could be addedwithout approval of City Coun-cil.

“This results in at least a$30,000 savings per year for ourcity,” Bay said. She refused to

answer questions following themeeting.

During her campaign, shevowed to “re-evaluate all posi-tions, contracts and programsin the city.”

At one point during the meet-ing, Bay pounded the gavel andtold Gerding he was out of or-der, that he should let Blau an-swer the question Gerdingasked, but the conversation con-tinued.

“I didn’t ask a question. I toldhim he does not have the rightunder the KRS,” said Gerding.“You cannot be the city attorneybecause you already hold a gov-ernment office in the state ofKentucky.”

Blau said, “Yes I can, as longas I have been privately re-tained by contract with themayor.”

Blau also questioned wheth-er Voelker had been city attor-ney, or if he also was an attorneyfor the city.

“They’re one and the same,”said Voelker by phone after themeeting adjourned.

“My only concern, as a resi-dent of the city, is that they havean attorney that doesn’t knowthe law,” he said. “They shouldprobably hire an attorney thatknows the law.”

Gerding attempted to submitan ordinance that would changethe mayor’s executive abilities,but Bay said he would have towait and submit any legislationat the next meeting on Jan. 26.

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.

A8 • CAMPBELL COMMUNITY 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!”

T.D.T.

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 [email protected] 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.

ALEXANDRIA — The Camp-bell County High School bowl-ing program is accustomed topostseason success.

While this year’s version ofthe Camels on the boys side ishaving a typically strong regu-lar-season performance, theyare still trying to shape them-selves into top form for a run atthe regional title. The Camelshave not fared as well in week-end tournaments, which mimicthe format of the regional teamtournament.

The bulk of a regular-seasonteam match involves the bow-lers rolling individual gamesfor score. The regional tourna-ment is decided by match playin the Baker format, in whichfive teammates alternateframes (two apiece) in a singlegame.

The Camels are undefeatedin team matches this seasonbut have yet to win a tourna-ment, but are improving intheir mindset, said head coachWayne Heringer.

“We’ve been bowling well inour matches,” Heringer said.“We’ve been in three tourna-ments and we haven’t bowledvery well in the Baker rounds.We bowled well in the qualify-ing. Hopefully that improvesbecause that determineswhether you go to state or not.”

The Camels lost several keyseniors from last year’s team

but have plenty of returningtalent, led by Tyler Widmeyer,who is among the NorthernKentucky leaders with a 208average going into play Jan. 8.The Camels have six otherplayers averaging in the 180s.

“We have a pretty evenlymatched team as well as indi-viduals,” Heringer said.

In match play, every game isa separate contest with littleroom for error.

“Early in the year, most ofthe guys we had didn’t have alot of experience in pressuresituations,” the coach said.“There’s still room to improve,but they’re getting there. Oneof the biggest things in Bakergames is making your spares.It’s the ones who make thespares who will advance.”

The girls team is led by Er-ica Hickman, who averages168. The Camels are green andinexperienced behind her, andare 2-5 in conference play, in-cluding a loss to Scott Jan. 8.

“We’re fairly inexperi-enced, though last night I sawsome improvement,” he said.“I think Scott has the best over-all team in the region. We lost4-3 and I felt pretty good aboutthat.”

The Camels have time topeak for the Region 5 champi-onships, which will be Jan. 26(singles) and Jan. 28 (team) atSuper Bowl Bellewood.

In the past, the Bluegrass-Buckeye Charity Classichas been a local basket-ball event pitting schools

from Northern Kentuckyagainst schools from Ohio thathas benefited charities such asthe Ruth Lyons Children’sFund, the Neediest Kids of Alland Chicks & Chucks, a breastcancer awareness group.

This year, the event will fea-ture only Northern Kentuckyteams playing at NorthernKentucky University’s Bank ofKentucky Center, the host siteof the Ninth Region tourna-ment. The triple-header willfeature six of the top 10 teamsin the Enquirer’s coaches’ poll,including No. 1NewCath facingoff against No. 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 Ohio

teams 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 andColonels will tip-off at 8:30 pmas the headliner for Fridaynight’s three-game event. No. 3Campbell County and No. 6Scott will open at 5:30 followedby No. 8 Cooper versus No. 5Holmes at 7 pm.

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

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 condensation on Cov-Cath’s floor.

While it was a big de-feat, one of the highlightsof the season for the East-ern Kentucky Universityfootball team was playingat the University of Flori-da in its famous stadium,nicknamed “The Swamp.”

The late-season game,the final regular-seasoncontest, was a 52-3 Gatorvictory, not unexpected asthe Colonels, from Rich-mond, Ky., are in the Foot-ball Championship Seriesdivision. It was still a funexperience for the Colo-nels to experience one ofthe most famous atmos-

pheres in the sport.“We were with them in

the first quarter and thingsgot out of hand after that,”said freshman Jared Bowl-ing, a Simon Kenton Highschool graduate. “It wascrazy. You see it on TV, ev-eryone doing the chomp(with their arms). You playit on the video game and

everyone is loud there.We’re riding the bus downto the Swamp and you haveFlorida fans lining thestreet chomping at us. Youcome out of the tunnel andyou see 80,000 people boo-ing at you. As bad as it wasfor us, it was definitelysomething I’ve never ex-perienced before. It was agreat learning experiencefor us to play that type ofcompetition.”

EKU was 9-4 overall,6-2 in the Ohio Valley Con-ference and earning an at-large berth to the FCS (for-merly I-AA) playoffs,where the team lost 36-16to Indiana State in the firstround. EKU finished 21stin the final national poll.EKU has 21overall playoffappearances but has notwon a postseason gamesince 1994.

“It was a really goodstep in the right direction,”Bowling said. “The yearbefore we were 6-6 andmissed the playoffs. It wasmore what we were look-ing for. We want to win theconference every year.”

EKU had a chance to tiefor the conference title be-fore losing to JacksonvilleState. “Having a chance towin the conference againstJacksonville State was agreat feeling,” Bowlingsaid. “We want to take thenext step next year.”

Bowling was a regularplayer on special teamsthis season. He was a two-

time all-conference selec-tion at SK and honorablemention all-state. He had316 career tackles, 154 as asenior and also played bas-ketball for four years.

Several Northern Ken-tuckians contributed to theColonels this year, includ-ing junior linebackerChris Kelly (Newport Cen-tral Catholic), freshmanoffensive lineman Kame-ron Crim (Scott), junior of-fensive lineman BrettEyckmans (Beechwood)and junior wide receiverTaylor Miller (Conner).

Eyckmans started onthe offensive line and wasnamed first-team all-con-ference in the OVC, lead-ing a line that led the Colo-nels to 31 points and 410yards per game. In addi-tion to his all-Eyckmanswas named the team’s of-fensive lineman of theyear. He started everygame the past two seasonsand six as a freshman.

Eyckmans was first-team all-state at Beech-wood.

Kelly recorded 3,600rushing yards and 230tackles at NewCath, lead-ing the Thoroughbreds tothe 2010 state title. He wassecond team all-state and ateam captain.

At EKU, he had 75 tack-les this past season, includ-ing eight for loss, and ahigh of 10 in one game. Kel-ly was named the team’sMost Improved honoree

on defense.In 2013, he saw action in

all 12 games on specialteams and as a backup line-backer. He had a season-high of four tackles in agame and also recovered afumble. He played 10games as a freshman.

Miller had 12 catchesfor 107 yards this seasonafter not playing his firstthree years at EKU. Hehad three catches in twoconference games. He wasathree-year varsity playerat Conner. His senior yearat Conner, he had 81 catch-es for 1,252 yards with 11touchdowns, and was anall-region pick. Miller wasnamed EKU Most Im-proved player on offense.

Playing with friendshas been great for Bowl-ing. “It’s pretty fun,” Bowl-ing said. “We joke back andforth all the time with eachother. I enjoy the bond wehave with each other. Weall live in the same dormand we hang out with eachother all the time. It buildsthe team up becauseyou’re going at each otherthe whole time. When youstep on the field, it’s allabout football and goingagainst each other makethe team that much bet-ter.”

EKU was named theTeam SportsmanshipAward winner for theOVC.

Cincinnatians also con-tributed to EKU’s success.

Thomas Owens, a soph-omore from WintonWoods, played two gamesat linebacker this year af-ter contributing at runningback as a freshman. In2013, he had two 100-yardrushing games and 368yards overall.

Junior ShaQuille Prath-er (Hughes) has played onboth sides of the ball everyseason for the Colonels.Hehad 22 tackles this seasonin six games.

Former University ofCincinnati quarterbackBennie Coney split timeunder center for the Colo-nels, throwing for 1,185yards and seven TDs. Alsoon the roster were seniortight end Dan Shepherd(Glen Este) and freshmandefensive lineman JustinMyles (Colerain).

first ever state title. Both programs have

bounced back strong thisyear. Neither has lost to aNorthern Kentucky oppo-nent. NewCath enters theweek with a 10-2 recordand is the owner of a five-game winning streak. Cov-Cath owns a 10-3 recordand is riding a six-gamewinning streak.

NewCath is led by thefrontcourt tandem of NKUcommit Drew McDonald,who is averaging a double-double with 20.0 points and10.5 rebounds per game,and junior Ben Weyer, whoranks second on the teamwith 18.5 points and 8.7boards. Sophomore guardCole VonHandorf (18.1ppg) powers the Colonels’attack, 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.

The first game of Fri-day night will feature twocontenders for the 10th Re-gion crown in CampbellCounty and Scott. Camp-bell County, the reigning

10th Region champs,clipped the Eagles bythree in the first round ofthe 37th District tourna-ment last year. The Camelsare looking to get back ontrack after hitting a three-game losing skid last weekagainst MontgomeryCounty, Lexington Chris-tian and the 10th Region’stop team, Mason County.Scott suffered two toughlosses against good teamslast week, falling to No. 5Holmes 96-92 and No. 7 Si-mon Kenton 91-77.

The second game willfeature two of the top scor-ing guards in the area withHolmes senior and WestVirginia signee James Bol-den (20.2 ppg) going upagainst Cooper sophomoreSean McNeil (17.8 ppg).The Jaguars’ big men, par-ticularly senior ColinHathorn, will have to playwell against Holmes’ Rod-erick Avery, who has had abreakout senior season av-eraging 14.2 points and 7.9rebounds for the Bulldogs,if they want to have achance at pulling off theupset.

ALEXANDRIA — Com-ing into this season, JoshFeldmann needed eightwins to get to the 100-winmark for his career atBishop Brossart HighSchool.

Barring a sub-par sea-son, the Mustangs girlsbasketball program wasgoing to give him thatmilestone at some pointthis year, but consideringhis team is relying on amostly new set of contrib-utors, Feldmann is pleasedat how soon he reachedthat plateau.

On a night in whichNewport High School re-tired the jerseys of two ofits legends, Feldmannmade a little history of hisown Jan. 8, leading Bros-sart to a 49-35 win over the

host Wildcats. Brossartimproved to 8-7, and Feld-mann to 100-42 in his fifthseason. He averaged 23wins his first four years onthe bench.

“It shows how hard thekids have worked over theyears, that we’ve done it inless than five years,” hesaid. “It shows how hardthe kids have worked andbought into what we wantto do. It’s gratifying and itshows what we’re trying todo at Brossart. It’s excit-ing.”

Brossart went 22-7 lastyear and was 37th Districtchampions, but graduatedfive seniors who scoredmore than 3,000 totalpoints.

This season, the Mus-

tangs have picked up somekey wins against DixieHeights, Conner and dis-trict foe Campbell County.Feldmann’s 99th win wason Jan. 6, 55-49, againstpreseason Ninth Regionfavorite Holy Cross. Bros-sart started 1-4 and is 7-3since.

“I knew when we start-ed the year it would be aprocess, there would bepeaks and volleys,” Feld-mann said. “We’ve playedso many close games, fourovertime games already.We’re 2-2 in those, but thelosses we took earlyhelped in our maturation.They don’t panic whenthey get down or in tightsituations because theyhave been through so

many of those situationsalready.”

The recent win overCampbell, 45-44 Jan. 2, wasan example of the Mus-tangs rallying to take a biggame, as it is not only theannual rivalry contest, buta key seeding game in the37th District. Brossart hadalready lost to Scott thisseason in district play.

Leading the transitionthis year has been juniorcenter Emily Schultz, whois having an outstandingstart to the year, averaging20 points and 10 rebounds agame.

“Emily has been veryspecial and she’s one of thebetter post players in theregion,” Feldmann said.“She is the straw that stirs

the drink but a lot of theother kids bring some-thing to the table in ball-handling, defense, shoot-ing. It’s a whole combina-tion.”

Junior forward AbbyKing has been a key front-court presence, and juniorOlivia Nienaber has beenstrong in taking over atpoint guard, the coachsaid. This year’s seniorgroup of Rachel Blank,Jordyn Boesch and LizBuckingham have shownstrong leadership.

The Mustangs didn’thave much time to focuson past milestones as theychased their next goal:Winning the 10th RegionAll “A” Classic. Brossartbeat Nicholas County for

Feldmann’s 101st win Jan.10 and the Mustangs arehoping to trek to Robert-son County two moretimes for the title, with thefinal being Saturday, Jan.17. Brossart was the pre-season pick to win the re-gion in the All “A.”

“With our kids wepreach that our goals don’tchange,” he said. “The per-ception is that we’re downbut we have to focus onwhat’s in front of us. Wefeel we can compete in theregion. It will be a tall or-der for us and hopefullythese younger kids havelearned. Our goal is to winin again, go down to Frank-fort and experience thatthrill for those kids again,then come back and com-pete at the district level.”

Coach, Mustangs focus on All ‘A’ goalBy James [email protected]


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.
