FORT THOMAS — There’sone city park for every 1,000residents.

“We obviously have a lot ofparks, and that is by design,”said Ron Dill, Fort Thomas gen-eral services director.

There are 17 Fort Thomascity parks from slivers of pock-et park green space to HighlandHills Park and Tower Park atmore than 80 acres each.

“Between all of them, we tryto have enough activity diversi-ty to hit all of our age groups,”Dill said.

Winkler Fields, completed in2013 in association with FortThomas Schools, helped liter-ally level the playing field forsoftball players.

Highlands High School play-er Haley Coffee now practicesshagging fly balls without hav-ing to look down at WinklerFields across from Woodfill Ele-mentary School.

“We played where the foot-ball team used to practice inDeath Valley where there wereruts left behind,” Coffey said.

Death Valley was the nick-name for the valley next toHighlands High School’s cam-pus where a new athletic train-ing center has been built.

“We’ve gone from having oneof the worst facilities for soft-ball to one of the best with bat-ting cages,” Coffey said.

Highland Hills Park, at 77acres, is one of the largest cityparks and includes the city’sdog park, a pavilion, a full play-ground, nature walking trails a

nine-hole disc golf course. “Our dog park may be the

most used park of any of theparks considering it’s usedyear-round,” Dill said.

Highland Hills is also situat-ed between several neighbor-hoods and serves to both sepa-rate them with green space andconnect them with park access.

In the past several years, im-provements at Highland Hillshave included adding threesand volleyball courts whereleagues play, he said. There’salso a basketball court.

A volunteer day this summeralso helped develop new walk-ing trails through wooded sec-tions of Highland Hills Park,Dill said.

ALEXANDRIA — Alexan-dria Police Chief Mike Ward isone of 25 military men andwomen whose names were readJuly 29 in the Capitol Rotunda inFrankfort.

They were representative ofevery American conflict sinceWorld War II. But it is not theiractions in war alone that led totheir induction into the two-year-old Kentucky VeteransHall of Fame.

The inductees were honoredfor what each of them has donesince returning home. Wardwas singled out for champion-ing a Veterans Treatment Courtin Campbell County.

Ward, along with BishopBrossart High School class-mate Mark See, enlisted in theAir Force in October 1978, at the“height of the Cold War,” See re-called.

Ward stayed in the militaryuntil 1989, serving in the AirForce Reserves at Wright Pat-terson Air Force Base for sevenyears teaching air base grounddefense and desert warfaretraining. While a reservist, hebegan as a part-time police offi-cer in Fort Thomas, Wilder andHighland Heights. He workedat the Dixie Police Authority inKenton County between 1985and 2001, rising from patrolmanto sergeant. He went back toCrescent Springs where he be-came chief then moved to Alex-andria, as chief of police, in2001.

As police chief, Ward’s lead-ership extends beyond Alexan-

dria, a city of 8,717. He hasserved as president of the Ken-tucky Association of Chiefs ofPolice. His concern for return-ing veterans has grown in re-cent years, especially with whatis now regarded as a heroin epi-

demic in Northern Kentucky.“The returning veterans are

having just as much of a prob-lem with opiates as everybodyelse,” the chief said. “When wepassed the House bill (HouseBill 1 in 2012) that limited peo-

ple’s ability to get their pre-scriptions refilled for oxyco-done, OxyContin, the unintend-ed consequence was it caused avoid, a huge void.

“Heroin, being an opiate, hasfilled that void and now we’re

reeling from that decision andwe continue to,” Ward said.

“The military is no different.When these men and womenwere deployed,” Ward said,they were given anything tokeep them in the fight. “Andguess what, that stuff is addict-ing.”

Ward said when many veter-ans leave the military they go“cold turkey, just overnight,and they don’t get the pain medi-cine they got when they weredeployed.” Many veterans areturning to drugs or alcohol tomask or avoid post-traumatic

stress disorder symp-toms.

Working for two yearswith District Court JudgeKaren Thomas, CountyAttorney Steve Franzenand the Veterans Admini-

stration, Ward was instru-mental in setting up a Vet-erans Treatment Court inCampbell County.

Ward and others hadseen returning veteransget in trouble over “stupidstuff” – arguing withneighbors or their girl-friends – all the way to aformer combat medic lostto a heroin overdose in

2010.Since starting in late

April, the court is struc-tured similar to the mili-tary. A veteran brought inon an offense will meetwith a case worker, a men-tor coordinator and some-one from the VA. The hopeis to “get them treatmentfor their substance abuseand for their PTSD and

help ... reacclimate themto civilian culture,” Wardsaid.

“We’re replacing thatNCO in their life. We pairup mentors with mentees,the folks pulling throughthe system, based withtheir like military service– Marine with Marine, forinstance.

“Leave no one behind.

We took the military mot-to and assimilated that tothe court system,” saidWard, who acknowledgedit’s too early to know howsuccessful the treatmentprogram will be, but someof the progress has been“incredible.”

Paul Dierig, a programcoordinator with the Ad-ministrative Office of the

Courts, said since Aprilthe Veterans TreatmentCourt has had 10 activeparticipants and has threemore in the referral proc-ess.

“We sent these folks towar. They volunteeredand we owe them an op-portunity to get them-selves back on track,”Ward said.

city’s biggest park. Thepark includes an amphi-theater, armory gymnasi-um and recreation center,the Mess Hall communitycenter, tennis courts,mountain bicycling andwalking trails. All of thepark is within the formerFort Thomas MilitaryReservation where manyof the U.S. Army build-ings and homes remain inuse today.

Something people maynot realize is the six-acre

Fort Thomas Soccer Com-plex off Ky. 8 next toCampbell County Pen-dery Park is a city park.It’s miles outside of citylimits, he said.

“We had such a demandfor soccer practice fieldsthat Campbell CountyNorth Soccer League be-came a partner,” Dill said.

Other athletic fields in-cludes Stoors Fields, Riv-er Road Fields, ShawneeField, South Park Fieldand Upper and LowerArmy Reserve Fields.

Renovations remadeRossford Park, off Ross-ford Avenue, back in 2012.Rossford and Riggs Me-morial Parks both fall intothe category of neighbor-hood parks.

For smaller parks fullof flowers, landscapingand benches, there arepocket parks at Highlandand Grand avenues and atthe Northern Kentucky

Water District’s treat-ment plant. There are twopocket parks in the Inver-ness neighborhood area,Dill said.

More gathering spaceshave been developed un-der the city’s central busi-ness streetscape im-provement plan in the lastdecade, he said.

The plaza at the FortThomas Town Center is acity park. So too is the

small parks space in frontof Highland MethodistChurch, Dill said.

Among the city’s 10public works employees,three work as park andgreen space laborers full-time, he said. Seasonalparks employees arehired in the summer to doeverything from emptytrash cans to mulch flow-er beds, Dill said.

FLORENCE — Justlike military teams learnto work together, organiz-ers of the Disabled Amer-ican Veterans 5K on Nov. 7at Sawyer Point and theHonor Run Half Marathonon Nov. 14 in Florencehave joined forces to cre-ate an entire week to hon-or veterans.

Completing bothevents will earn the first300 participants a specialset of dog tags for the 26Klick Challenge, present-ed by Tri-State RunningCo. in Edgewood.

“In the military, a klickis a kilometer,” said ScottSpicher, who organizesthe Honor Run Half Mara-thon. “Since the DAV 5K is5,000 meters and our Hon-or Run is 21,000 meters, to-gether they’re 26 klicks.”

The Honor Run raisesfunds for Honor FlightTri-State, which sends vet-erans of World War II, Ko-

rea and Vietnam to Wash-ington, D.C., to visit theirmemorials. NorthernKentucky’s only half mar-athon starts and ends un-der the Florence Y’all wa-ter tower outside the Flor-ence Mall, and closes sev-eral streets on its routethrough Florence to theCincinnati/Northern Ken-tucky International Air-port.

The DAV 5K Run toHonor Veterans started in2013 in Cincinnati. Thisyear similar events willtake place in San Diegoand Atlanta.

“The inaugural 26Klick challenge is a greatway for patriotic runnersto show their support forveterans in their commu-nity by accepting a chal-lenge to run both the DAV5K Run to Honor Veteransand the Honor Run HalfMarathon,” said LeslieWenert, DAV 5K Cincin-nati race manager. “Dis-abled American Veterans,founded in Cincinnati in1920, is dedicated to ful-filling our promises to themen and women whoserved, and we are proud

to partner with the HonorRun to celebrate VeteransDay weekend in Cincin-nati and honor our nation’sheroes.”

Spicher said partici-pants should sign up forboth runs separately, andparticipation in the 26Klick Challenge will bemarked on the Honor Runregistration. Only the first300 to sign up will recievethe dog tag award.

Registration informa-tion for the DAV 5K isavailable online atwww.dav5k.org, and go towww.honorrunhalf.comfor the Honor Run.

“What we’re trying todo is create a veteran’sweek celebration, sand-wiched between DAV5Kand our Honor Run,”Spicher said. VeteransDay is Nov. 11.

So far, Spicher ispleased with the response.

“People love the idea ofpartnering the twoevents,” he said.

Brian Barclay of Inde-pendence ran his firstrace last year, the inaugu-ral Honor Run, and he’splanning on doing both the

DAV5K and the HonorRun this year to completethe 26 Klick Challenge.

“The Honor Run, forme, is one of those racesthat I will always do,” Bar-clay said. “It was the firstrace I ever trained for, andthe cause is great. I lovewhat they do and I will al-ways support it.”

Barclay, a U.S. Armyveteran whose dad is a Ko-rean War veteran, partici-pates with Team RWB, orRed White and Blue,which aims to enrich thelives of America’s veter-ans by connecting them totheir community throughphysical and social activ-ity. For more information,visit www.teamrwb.org.

“The cause is personalfor me. Everyone knowsthe DAV and all the workthey do, and what a tre-mendous gift the HonorFlights are, and partici-pating has brought me anew group of friends. Allthat makes it annual on thecalendar for me,” he said.

The result of a 3.5-year fund-raising drive and thousands ofhours of volunteer work byNancy Holian of Holian Granite& Bronze and placement of the“Twin Towers” replica by Iron-workers Union 44, the monu-ment drew a nod of approvalfrom the family of Brian P. Wil-liams, the Covington Catholicstar athlete who died at age 29 inthe Twin Towers attack.

Featured speaker at the cer-emony, U.S. Rep. Thomas Mas-sie, said he was struck by thescale, size and permanence ofthe Northern Kentucky 9/11Me-morial “for a small town here inKentucky.”

Mayor Lou Hartfiel of Cres-cent Springs was heartened somany families brought theirchildren to see the 9/11 Memori-al, since so many of them wereborn since the terror attack

happened 14 years ago. Hehopes families and schoolsthroughout Northern Kentuckywill visit. Hartfiel is requestingan interstate sign as well sotravelers can stop and see how asmall town in Kentucky remem-bers 9/11.

PUZZLE ANSWERS FROM PAGE 8B

SEPTEMBER 17, 2015 • CCF RECORDER • 7ANEWS

My newest recipe taster is always enthu-siastic and very opinionated. The expression

on her face is a dead giveawayas to whether the food is ac-ceptable or not.

I’m talking about Ellery, ouryoungest granddaughter, whowill be 1-year-old next month.She’s at the age that’s so funwhen it comes to trying newfoods. This week it’s applesand pears and you can seefrom the photo that they madethe cut!

Our apple trees are heavywith fruit, so making applesauce was our“chore” for the day. Ellery’s 3-year-old sister,Emerson, helped scrub the apples clean, andmash them after cooking.

I’m sharing the recipe for homemadeapplesauce because honestly, it really is easyand so good for you. Think fiber and vitaminC. And the aroma of apples and cinnamonsimmering on the stove on a cool autumn day– need I say more?

Later on I’ll share my apple fritter recipe,a family favorite.

I’m also happy to give you June Cross’heirloom goetta recipe. Yes, it’s that time ofyear again when homemade goetta is beingmade in our community kitchens.

Rita’s homemadeapplesauce

Use whatever apples you like. Amix of sweet and tart is OK. I add-ed a few pears. If you leave skinson red apples, they tint the apple-sauce a pretty pink. Ditto withdried cherries or cranberries.

Prep for cooking:I like to rinse them in a combi-

nation of equal parts clear vinegarto water, which removes bacteriaand toxins. Swish around, rinse anddry. Whether you peel or not is upto you. I don’t peel since the fruitcomes from our trees. Cut intosmall chunks.

On stovetop:Place fruit in pan and barely

cover with liquid, either water,cider or apple juice. Bring to a boil,cover, lower to a simmer and cookonly until fruit can be mashed witha potato masher or pureed. Thiswon’t take long. The less you cookthe fruit, the more vitamins re-main.

Other:Sprayed crockpot or microwave.After cooking:Puree chunky or smooth. Use a

potato masher, blender or foodprocessor. If I add dried fruit, I’llmash by hand. If using blender,blend a small amount since hotapples build up steam.

To sweeten:I don’t, but that’s up to you.Other nice add-ins: Cinnamon, apple pie spiceRaisins, dried cranberries or

cherriesButternut squash/pumpkinSweet potatoesRefrigerate:Up to 4 daysFreeze:Up to 3 monthsTo can:Process in boiling water bath.

Pints take 15 minutes, quarts take20. Shelf life is 1 year.

A primer on canning fruit is onmy website Abouteating.com

June Cross’s familygoetta

This is the perfect time ofyear to share this treasuredgoetta recipe.

June says: “Here is a trueauthentic (delicious) goettarecipe of German/Hungarianheritage. My deceased hus-band, Carl, taught my sonGlenn Weiglein the recipe.Worth making!” June’s is anice addition to my goettarecipe file. Glenn lives inChicago and brings a batchto June every Christmas. It’sinteresting to note that Junelikes her goetta fried inbutter. We use bacon drip-pings.

1 pound fresh pork shoulder(also called fresh shoulderbutt)

1 pound beef shank1 beef marrowbone2 ribs celery1 large onion2 tablespoons salt2 pounds pinhead oatmealWater

Put everything but oat-meal in uncovered heavypot. Pour water over tocover only. Bring to a boil,then lower to a simmer.Cook uncovered for 4 hours,stirring occasionally. Keeppot half filled with water atall times.

In separate pan, emptyoatmeal and cover withwater. Let soak for 1 hour.Remove pork mixture frompan but keep liquid in. Diceingredients real fine and putback in pan. Add oatmealand cook on low for aboutan hour, stirring frequently.Grease two bread pans. Putgoetta in and refrigerateuntil cool. Flip onto plateand slice to desired thick-ness. Fry in butter to desiredcrispness.

FILE PHOTO

Pope Francis waves after his weeklygeneral audience in St. Peter’sSquare at the Vatican on Sept. 9.

It seems every day themorning news is all badnews. There are assortedstories involving

violence, scams, in-justice, car accidents,traffic jams, badweather coming soonand more. They allseem to present agrand assortment ofsad, bad news stories. Iwonder how the newsreporters keep a smil-ing face!

It leads me to won-der, where is the goodnews these days? Iknow good news is out theresomewhere. Unfortunately wehave to search for it much likea treasure hunter searches forsunken treasure.

What if things were differ-ent and the media had a “GoodNews” segment and a “BadNews” segment. I would surelyturn off the TV when the badnews was presented. It wouldmake things easier for theviewer. Here are a few ideasfor the Good News segment:

In Today’s Good News seg-ment, it’s all good in our neigh-borhood because:

» 25 healthy babieswere born this week inthe Tristate includingthree sets of twins.Infants and mothersare all doing well.

» 50 people werehired at local busi-nesses. Many are re-cent college graduatesand they are excited tostart their careers withmore opportunitiesthan ever before.

» Our grocerystores are stuffed full of freshfruits and veggies (yearround). We take this one forgranted all the time. Eat a ripepeach soon or enjoy fresh cornon the cob with real butter (it’sgood for you now, studiesshow)

» The price of gas is goingdown! You can search the In-ternet for the lowest gas pricesin your area before you fill upyour tank, saving you money.Technology rocks in this case.

» Storm warning systemsare greatly improved. Newweather sirens are being in-stalled all over the Tristate.This system will save manylives in the event of high windsor tornadoes. The weatherapps can be downloaded toyour cellphone to alert you ofbad weather, where ever youtravel. This is a grand im-provement over the old systemof are the cows laying down orstanding up (one of them in-dicates oncoming rain).

» Everyone has access toclean drinking water. Wow,indoor plumbing too, really!That is great news.

» Very few potholes are onour roadways today. This is agreat time of year to go for arelaxing drive in the country,so enjoy it.

» More people than everare recycling. This is resultingin less trash being dumped intoour landfills. Recycle yourplastics, glass and metal. Insome cases earn money forrecycling.

» I saw a few “Lemonade

Stands” this summer. Yes, kidsare still selling lemonade for50 cents a glass. Support yourlocal neighborhood futureentrepreneurs.

» Cellphones have moretechnology than ever before.Remember the old days of“party lines” and “rotary dial”and “real bells” inside thephones? It is funny to thinkabout how much phones haveimproved over the years. Ev-eryone seems to have someoneto call too. The best thing, I getmore than five minutes to talkto my friends. We had to abideby a time limit in my day. Re-member when it was cheaperto call long distance in theevening? Call, Talk and Text,Unlimited … what freedom!

» Live music can be foundall over the Tristate area. Getout there and enjoy your localmusicians. You will be sur-prised how great the talent isthese days.

» Goetta is still available!We live in the only area in theU.S. that produces and servesgoetta. Many thanks to all goet-

ta producers. Keep up the goodwork. We love you.

» Check out a few chil-dren’s books at your local li-brary and read to a youngster.It can be fun.

» Monarch butterflies areon the move, heading towardMexico for winter. Watch forthese orange flutter byes in agarden near you.

» Chili parlors never close!They offer coneys, three-wayspiled high with cheese, anddon’t forget the appetizer …hot sauce and crackers. Thishas to be the best news I haveever heard.

Add to this list if you like,challenge everyone in yourfamily to think about somegood news they have heardrecently. Our perspectiveabout the news can change ifwe only search for the goodnews in life.

Selecting a reliable andquality child care programcan be overwhelming. Withmore than 200 licensedchild care programs inNorthern Kentucky tochoose from, it’s hardto know where to start.

But taking time tomake an informedchoice will benefit youand your child in thelong run – you will havepeace of mind while atwork and your childwill have a nurturingenvironment in whichto grow and thrive.Much of a child’s develop-mental and emotional founda-tion is formed in their earlyyears, so selecting a qualityprogram is key to their suc-cess in school and life.

For more than 40 years, 4Cfor Children has helped thou-sands of families choose childcare. We maintain a databasethat contains key programinformation about NorthernKentucky and Ohio child careprograms. This information –STAR rating, cost, location andhours of operation – is used tohelp parents find viable op-tions for quality child care.

Parents often assume thatall programs are held to thesame quality standards. It’strue that all child care pro-

grams have minimal healthand safety licensing, but qual-ity standards vary by pro-

gram. In Kentucky,the STARS for KidsNow quality ratingsystem helps define aprogram’s level ofquality. Programs canearn from one up tofour STARS and arerated by Kentucky’sDivision of ChildCare.

In addition to STARratings, here are someother importantthings for parents to

look for when choosing childcare programs:

» Staff training: Check tosee if staff have training inCPR, first aid and child abuseprevention. It is recommendedthat staff participate in train-ing for the age group of thechildren in their care. Manydirectors and lead teachersalso have degrees in earlyeducation or have a ChildDevelopment Associate Cre-dential (CDA). Higher staffeducation impacts the qualityof care.

» Your child’s learning:Staff should use age-appropri-ate strategies and materials tosupport the following skillsthat further children’s devel-opment: self help (feeding,

dressing and toileting), finemotor (grabbing items, usingscissors and crayons), grossmotor (jumping, climbing andbalancing), social and emo-tional (sharing, makingfriends and expressing feel-ings) and cognitive (problemsolving, counting, etc.)

» Healthy and safe envi-ronment: Pay attention towellness and hygiene policiesand practices related to diaperchanging, toileting, feeding,administering medicationsand managing illness. A safeenvironment means compli-ance with regulations sur-rounding background checks,fire safety, crib safety and useof car seats and seat belts.

» Family involvement:Quality programs engageparents. As parents, are youencouraged to visit, invited toattend activities and given theopportunity to provide inputabout the care of your chil-dren?

GOP gubernatorial candi-date Matt Bevin has beencriticized by Attorney Gener-al Jack Conway andhis supporters foractions they considershady. By doing so,the Conway campaignhas opened the door todaylight on the cor-ruption in Kentucky.

Harvard Univer-sity’s Center for Eth-ics published a studyon Dec. 1, 2014 enti-tled, “Measuring Ille-gal and Legal Corrup-tion in American States: SomeResults from the Corruptionin America Survey” by Oguz-han Dincer and Michael John-ston. The study found thatKentucky’s state governmentis among the most corrupt inthe country and second tonone when it comes to the“legal corruption” of politicalfavors in exchange for cam-paign contributions.

The study can be found at:http://bit.ly/KyCorruption.

They define illegal corrup-tion as “the private gains inthe form of cash or gifts by agovernment official, in ex-change for providing specificbenefits to private individuals

or groups.” They say it is theform of corruption that at-tracts a great deal of public

attention.They define legal

corruption as “thepolitical gains in theform of campaigncontributions or en-dorsements by a gov-ernment official, inexchange for provid-ing specific benefits toprivate individuals orgroups, be it by explic-it or implicit under-standing.”

Since the Democrats havedominated the governor’smansion, the Kentucky Houseof Representatives and theKentucky Senate for most ofthe last 100 years, I would saythat Democrats are the onesmost responsible for Kentuck-y’s lousy reputation on corrup-tion.

What can we as voters doabout that? The answer issimple. Change the governor’soffice from Democrat to Re-publican and give Republicansa majority in the KentuckyHouse of Representatives.

2B • FORT THOMAS RECORDER • SEPTEMBER 17, 2015 SPORTS & RECREATION

It was 16 years ago thissummer when Kevin Tur-nick took the head coach-ing job for the NewportCentral Catholic girlssoccer team. He has beenat his post 15 years longerthan he first thought,with no regrets and manychampionships.

“I would do it again in aheartbeat,” Turnick said.“In 1998, I was an assis-tant, and I knew the girlswho were going to be sen-iors since they were inthe eighth grade. Whenthe school asked me in ’99to be the head coach, I didit for that group of kids,and I thought it was goingto be a one-year deal.”

The Thoroughbredsdid not advance deep intothe postseason his firstyear, and he thought itmight be the end of theline so far as coaching.His assistants took him tothe regional tournamentfinal.

“They purposely didthat because they knewI’d like it,” Turnick said.“I saw the winning teamhold up the trophy, and Iwanted to do that. I cameback the next year be-cause I wanted to be apart of the program, andwe won the region thenext two years.”

They haven’t stoppedwinning. Turnick helped

the Thoroughbreds loadup the trophy cases withcrowns of virtually everykind. They have been es-pecially strong in thesmall-school events at theTouchstone Energy All“A” Classic tournaments.

The Thoroughbreds inAugust won their thirdconsecutive Ninth Re-gion All “A” Classiccrown, their sixth over-all, and qualified for theSept. 16 single-gameplayoff against the still-do-be-determined 10thRegion champion.

The super regionalwinner advances to theeight-team state eventSept. 26-27 in Frankfort.That’s where the Thor-oughbreds won theirfourth All “A” Classicstate crown in 2013. Theywere eliminated in lastyear’s super regional byBishop Brossart. Many ofthe girls who contributedmightily to the 2013 titleare significant contrib-utors today.

Taylor Tolle, the 2013state tournament MVP asa freshman, leads the’Breds with nine goals.The junior forwardscored five times in theseason-opening winagainst Dayton. She hadone goal and an assist inthe 4-0 Ninth Region All“A” final victory againstBeechwood.

“Before every game,we get in a circle and talk

about team goals, and re-mind ourselves what wewant,” Tolle said. “Westay positive. We havegood chemistry, and Ithink we can get back tothe (All “A” Classic) statetournament.”

Defenders Ansley Da-venport and Ruthie Barthand goalkeeper Meg Mar-tin were named all-statetournament in 2013. Da-venport is a senior. Barthand Martin are juniors.Martin had allowed onegoal the first six games ofthe young season, withfive shutouts, while theoffense generated 28goals.

“I think all-around ourdefense is really talent-ed,” Martin said. “I thinkwe’re a pretty fast team,and we play well everygame.”

Tolle is getting help inthe scoring column fromDonnelly Simmins. Thesenior forward has fivegoals and four assists.Sophomore midfielderErin Bunzel has scoredfour goals. Junior defend-ers Aubrey Giesler andOlivia Schalk help limitthe shot-count.

“We have a lot of expe-rience with seniors andjuniors, and we can gointo a couple differentformations,” Turnicksaid. “They’ve all beenthere. They all know whatto do.”

There is something un-deniable happening atBB&T Field in CrestviewHills.

The Thomas MoreSaints have found com-fort and solace on gamedays, posting dominatingvictories each of the pasttwo Saturdays. The num-bers are staggering, andhave a significant mean-ing to the team still com-ing to grips with the deathof teammate Mitch Kra-mer just before the startof the 2015 season.

In Week 1, the Saintsdefeated nationally-ranked St. John Fisher48-0. Kramer’s highschool uniform numberwas 4; his college numberwas 12. In Week 2, theSaints throttled Hanover,84-7, scoring 12 touch-downs. Kramer’s fellowdefensive backs notchedfour interceptions, in-cluding returning two fortouchdowns.

The wins have beenconvincing, and theSaints have found a deep-er meaning within them.

“That kind of givesyou chills a little bit,” saidsenior defensive back IanGunn, an Elder graduate.“You know there’s some-thing up there, somethingdriving you a little bit thatyou know you don’t haveto worry about it. It’s go-ing to be okay.”

Just two weeks in andit has already been anoth-er record-setting seasonfor the Saints. Senior Ty-ler Vogelpohl (La Salle)

had a school record 207receiving yards in theseason-opening win overthen-No. 19 St. John Fish-er. Jensen Gebhardt(Kings) became theschool’s all-time leadingpasser. After that win, theSaints moved up fromNo. 23 to No. 16 in the na-tional poll. Senior receiv-er Goose Cohorn (DixieHeights) became theschool’s all-time recep-tions leader in the winover Hanover.

“They’re a specialgroup,” said head coachRegis Scafe. “They wentthrough a lot. There’s a lotof things that happenedthat have drawn them to-gether.”

On Sept. 12, the Saintshonored Kramer. Hisyounger brother, Mason,led the team down the hilland onto the field. Dozensof fans wore white shirtsreading “Our TwelfthMan” on the back; pro-ceeds from the shirt saleswent to the Mitch Kra-mer Scholarship Fund.The team wore white uni-forms and the coaches allwore the Twelfth Manshirts in Mitch’s honor.

“We’re doing it forhim. There’s no other wayto explain it,” said sopho-more defensive backJohnny Lammers (El-der). “We’re just playingour hearts out for him be-cause he’s our man. We’replaying for 12.”

The Saints have a thirdstraight home game onSept. 19. Playing in frontof their family, friends,and fans has helped theteam as it continues to

mourn the loss of Kra-mer.

“We’ve been through alot this last month. Beingat home in this atmos-phere has helped us getoff to a great start,” saidScafe. “There’s no ques-tion it’s been great get-ting back to games. We’remore on a routine now. Itdefinitely helps.”

The Saints players ad-mit that they feel an extraforce and motivationdriving them this season.

“I’ve been coaching along time and guys love toplay at this level, butthese guys unbelievablylove the game. Games areso much to them. Theyjust love to play,” saidScafe. “It’s so much funas a coach. You don’t haveto motivate these guys.”

The players are stillstruggling to cope withthe loss of their friendand teammate. There isno doubt that they havedone everything they canto honor him on the field,completely dominatingtheir opponents. Kramerwas a defensive back andthat unit has been partic-ularly impressive. TheSaints secondary has al-lowed just 282 passingyards while notching fiveinterceptions and scoringtwo defensive touch-downs. “As a DB corps,we’ve become even clos-er. Every day is for Mitch.There’s no other way toput it. Every day is forhim,” said Lammers. “Ev-erything is just clicking.It feels like there’s noth-ing that can break usright now.”

Saints find meaning in victory

Less than one month after the death of teammate Mitch Kramer, the Thomas More footballteam is paying tribute to him by playing dominating football.

Mearns was fast at thegun and hit the one-milemark in about five min-utes.

“We’ve got a big meetcoming up next week andI wanted to go out hard tosimulate,” Mearns said.“We wanted to go out hardbecause that’s going to bemy goal pace next week.Once the obstacles kickedin, I was really just aboutgetting through those.”

While his time mayhave been slowed by thequirkiness of the course,Mearns said he will bene-fit from the race.

“It really helps for lat-er races because I knowI’m able go out that hardand still hold on whenthere’s obstacles,”Mearns said. “So when it’sflat like next week, it willgive me more confidence.But also I think it reallymakes you more tired, sothe better-trained peoplewill do better here.”

The second came apossession later whenHergott attempted tothrow the ball underheavy duress at his owngoal line and Ryle’s Coop-er Scherr intercepted thepass at Highlands’ 42.That set up a 24-yardfield goal for Mason Mo-lique to increase Ryle’slead to 17-10.

The Bluebirds tied itup 50 seconds beforehalftime on a 23-yardtouchdown pass fromHergott to senior Chan-dler New.

Ryle took control rightaway in the second half.

Ryle’s defense com-pletely stymied the High-lands offense after inter-mission as they held theBluebirds to just fouryards of offense and nofirst downs in the thirdquarter. For the game,Ryle out-gained the Blue-birds 296-72 in rushingyards.

Hergott finished 14 of28 for 205 yards and threetouchdowns.

After seeing theirdrive jumpstarted by aRyle penalty on 4th-and-7, the Bluebirdsscored their only pointsof the second half with5:34 to play in the gameon a 28-yard strike fromHergott to T.J. Sipple.

We are gratefulfor all they have doneand continue to do toensure that we all maylive in a free, democraticsociety.”

FORT THOMAS —Inside the HighlanderEvent Center, a new frontporch and life-size Ken-tucky farmhouse muralhas cropped up.

Less than a year afteropening the 17,500-square-foot Fort Thomas

Antiques &DesignCenter at90 U.S. 27last No-vember,Rob Rob-insonkeepsaddingbusiness

concepts and space. Rob-inson opened a bourbonand wine bar in Februaryand opened the 6,000-square-foot HighlanderEvent Center in March.

The farmhouse in-vokes Kentucky, andharkens back to a time ofantiques and decor ayounger generation isseeking, Robinson said.

“That’s what millenni-als want for their condos,apartments and houses ismid-century American,”he said.

Bellevue artist CurtisHeuser created the 3-Dmural, and a real frontporch with a roof andspindles supporting arailing is being added,Robinson said.

“This mural is going tobe transformation,” hesaid.

The farmhouse muralis just a little less thanfull scale, and is 18 feettall by 30 feet wide, Rob-inson said.

“It’s a stroll back intime along with the an-tiques we have beingthere,” he said. “Peoplelike to come browse ourstore because they seethings they rememberfrom their parents orgrandparents’ house.”.

The porch also createsa unique identity for theevent center, which canseat 300 people insideand another 200 peopleoutside, he said.

In addition to thefarmhouse, Grace Minis-tries is moving its churchservices from Newporton the Levee to the High-lander Events Center,Robinson said. GraceMinistries has anotherlocation in Florence.

Robinson’s opening ofthe antiques and designcenter, bourbon bar andHighlander Events Cen-

ter has remade much ofthe Fort Thomas Plazashopping center, saidDebbie Buckley, econom-ic development directorfor Fort Thomas.

“It’s all happened soquickly and beautifully,”Buckley said. “Rob is justkind of a miracle worker,and a real visionary forwhat that shopping cen-ter can be.”

Question: I plantedpansies in the spring, butthey died when it got toohot. Does it make senseto plant themagain in the fall, orshould I just waituntil next springto replant? Canthey live throughthe winter?

Answer: This isactually a greattime of year toplant pansies inyour flower beds.You can plantpansies any timethis month.

Pansies planted in lateAugust or early Septem-ber are usually twice aslarge and showy by thefollowing May as theywould be if not planteduntil spring. If you plantpansies this weekend,bloom will continue intothe winter, and springflowering usually startsby early March, continu-ing through next June.

Pansies, usually classi-fied as cool-season annu-als or short-lived peren-nials, are winter hardy ifplanted in early fall toallow the roots to getestablished before freez-ing temperatures arrive.

For fall plantings, it isbest to plant pansies inthe ground rather than incontainers, since theroots are the least cold-hardy part of the plant,and plants in containershave their roots exposedto the cold over the win-ter. The flowers them-

selves will tolerate tem-peratures down to 15degrees F. Some foliageis damaged by temper-

atures less than 10degrees, but basalportions of thestems are hardy totemperatures of-15 degrees F.

When selectingpansies for fallplanting, here aresome of the bestones for overallflower display andcold hardiness:Hiverna, Sunny

Gold, Golden Chief, Yel-low Chief, Azure Blue,Yellow with Blotch, Mon-arch Mix, Angel Breath,Aurora, Butterfly Mix,Early Alaska, HeavenlyBlue, Herald, Monarch,Paramount Pure Yellow,Polaris, Premier, SunnyBoy, Universal Mix andGiant Winter-bloomingIce Pansy.

In general, yellow,blue and white pansiesare more cold-hardy thanred, rose, orange orbronze-flowered culti-vars.

Pansies prefer a fullsun to partial shade loca-tion in the garden – sun-ny at least five hours perday. Plants often flowerin the fall nearly untilChristmas and begin toflower again in late Feb-ruary or early March ifthey are planted in aprotected southern expo-sure. “Dead-heading,” orremoval of old, spentflowers is not necessary.

PHOTO COURTESY OF ALL-AMERICA SELECTIONS

This is actually a great time of year to plant pansies in yourflower beds. You can plant pansies any time this month. Ingeneral, yellow, blue and white pansies are more cold-hardythan red, rose, orange, or bronze-flowered cultivars.

Does it make sense toplant pansies in fall?
