FLORENCE— StephanieRenaker-Jansen can re-member the passion inher father’s eyes when he

broughthome a1942 FHar-ley David-son motor-cycle.

It was1972, Re-naker-Jan-sen, now56,was just

14. Her father, Dr. GeorgeRenaker of Florence,cherished this rare clas-sic ofwhich only107weremade. Throughout theyears Renaker, who diedin March at the age of 80,could often be seen ridingthe bike throughout thecity.

“He had one when hewas younger,” she said.“He lovedclassiccarsandworked on classic vehi-

cles. It was a completeand absolute love forhim.”

The Harley and sever-al other classic carsowned by Renaker are upfor auction now throughJune 12 at soldasap.com.The auction has alreadypiqued international in-terest. Auctioneer JohnMalone said he has re-ceived inquiries fromHarley fans worldwide.“I’ve talked with peoplefrom across the U.S., Du-bai, Japan, England andGermany,” he said.

“The bike is extremelyrare and appears to be alloriginal with period ac-cessories,” Malone said.“We are selling this bikeas we found it. The dust,grease, wear and tear areall yours. We were tooafraid to make it shine.”

Malone is unsure howmany of the 107 motorcy-cles produced still exist.“After hundreds of hourssearching, we couldn’t

find a single one,” he said.The Harley features a

74ci medium compres-sionKnuckleheadOHVV-twin engine and four-speed transmission. Thecolor is flight red.

“My dad loved his clas-sic vehicles, Renaker-Jansen said. “He hadsome really spectacular

and rare pieces. It’s fit-ting that the auction is re-ceiving international at-tention.”

Other vehicles on theauction block include Re-naker’s 1967 CorvetteStingray Convertible,1953 MG-TD Convertible,1981 DeLorean, 1981 RollsRoyce Silver Spirit, 1956

Ford Thunderbird, 1970Jaguar E Type, and manyother classic models. Theauction also includes sev-eral of his collectibleitems including Italianmarble statues, a vintagepinball machine, a vin-tage arcade bowlinggame, and a1930s slotma-chine.

Renaker-Jansen saidthe family hates to see thepieces go, but are follow-ing her father’s wishes.

“He’d want these vehi-cles to go to someone forwhom it will be their fa-vorite thing,” she said.“I’m sad, but at the sametime, it’s exciting to seethem fan out throughoutthe world.”

According to Renaker-Jansen, her father’s pas-sion for classic automo-biles was a way to experi-ence something differentthan his routine as a gen-eral surgeon.

“His first lovewas sur-gery,” she said. “His sec-

ondwashis family andhiscars.”

Renaker, who retiredin 2007, performed morethan 40,000 surgeriesthroughout his career,earning him the nick-name “King George” inthe operating room.

“He loved taking careof people,” she said. “Ifyouwerehispatient in theoperating room, at thatmoment you were themost important thing inthe world to him.”

His passion for medi-cine was paralleled by hisdesire to help others, shesaid. In 1998, he and hisfamily established theDr.George A. & Dolores Re-naker Foundation. Thefoundation emphasizesthe advancement ofmedi-cine through scholarship,and medical equipmentand hardware endow-ments.

through.“I have a very strong

faith. You can get throughanything with God,” shesaid. “My family is myrock, I couldn’t do it with-out my mom and dad whoinstilled many values inme.”

Walking in faithFaith played a major

role in Louie Tobergte’s

success at the U.S. Mili-tary Academy at WestPoint.

“The most importantthing I’ve learned is thevalue of faith,” said theSt.Henry District HighSchool graduate. “Whenthings got rough or busy, Ilearned to pray more,rather than less. God al-ways showed me the wayor put a friend in my lifeto help me through.”

Tobergte, 21, studiedchemical engineering andPortuguese. He plans ongetting married this sum-mer to fellow West Pointgraduate Jessica Nie-miec. Hewill then head tothe University of Leedson aRotary scholarship toput in a year toward amaster’s in water, sanita-tion and health engineer-ing. After the year inschool, he will join Nie-miec in Italy in the 173rdAirborne Brigade.

He said he is honoredto be able to pursue hiseducation and serve hiscountry.

A mind to serveConner High School

graduate Benjamin Huff,23, said it has beenanhon-or to graduate from WestPoint and to go on to servehis country. He concen-trated his studies in engi-neering management.Huff will be commis-sioned as a second lieu-tenant in the U.S. Armywithin the engineer’sbranch and will report toFort Knox for his firstpost assignment.

“I’ve always wanted toserve and give back tomycountry – to be a part ofsomething bigger thanmyself,” he said. “It’s agreat honor and privilegeto lead America’s sonsand daughters.”

JasonLewis, 22, ofFort

Thomas, agreed. Lewis isa 2010 graduate of High-lands High School. Hesaid he applied to WestPoint because the mili-tary lifestyle appealed tohim.

“It’s very busy andscheduled,” he said. “Ittaught me a lot of self dis-cipline. It feels reallygood to have graduated, itwas a challenge and Ilearned a lot. I feel wellprepared to lead soldiersin the Army. West Pointhas a tradition of produc-ing great leaders. That’swhat I aspire to be.”

Lewis studied Germaninternational relations.Hewill go on to be a grad-uate assistant for theArmy soccer team for sixmonths and then go on toOklahoma for howitzertraining.

Eleven years ago, Donand Brent Degenhardtlaunched CityWideMain-tenance of Cincinnati, aFort Mitchell-based man-agement company in thebuilding maintenance in-dustry. City Wide man-ages 25 facility services,

including janitorial tocommercial customers.

Their entrepreneurialaspirations stemmedfrom a longing to helptheir community findwork in an unforgivingand often unpredictableeconomic climate.

“I enjoy being able tohelp people,” Brent said.“City Wide has given usopportunities tohelpfolkswho have an interest indeveloping their ownbusiness, butwhomaynothave the abilities to go out

and sell and do the man-agement piece.”

City Wide finds small,local businesses in thecommunity who providespecific services and sub-contracts those business-es. “Helping someonetake their business to thenext level is really neat towatch,” Brent said. “Theyreally appreciate whatyou’ve done for them andwe appreciate what theydo for us.”

Brent’s father, Don,

agreed. He said that help-ing others grow theirbusiness isoneof themostrewarding things.

Don came up with theidea for him and Brent togo into business together.They came across CityWide, based in KansasCity, and “jumped in,”Brent said, and formed apartnership. Theyhaven’tlooked back.

ERLANGER—Starting schoolcan be a scary and overwhelm-ing experience for studentsand their parents.

The Erlanger-ElsmereSchool District is attemptingto eliminate that fear and easethe transition with a new sum-mer program for incomingkindergartners.

“We recognize that the roadto college and career readi-ness begins in early child-hood,” assistant superinten-dent David Palmore said.

“If a child is behind beforethey even start school, itmakes their entire educationdifficult. Our goal is to helpstudents get ready for kinder-garten and make a big differ-

ence in their lives,” he added.Me and My School, an op-

tional kindergarten prepared-ness program, is sponsored inpart byagrant fromtheUnitedWay of Greater Cincinnati incollaboration with its Successby Six program.

Me andMy School, Palmoresaid, supports children withlearning, reading and self-reg-ulating skills.

Participants will be intro-duced to themes through pic-ture books, art activities, mathactivities, languageandvocab-ulary development, and fineand gross motor developmentactivities.

Each week enrichment op-portunities will be availablewith visits from the local li-brary, Sunrock Farm and theNewport Aquarium.

In addition, students andtheir parents will be visited athome and share time togetherwith teachers and staff duringbreakfast and lunch.

According to LindemanEle-mentary instructional coachKrista Wainscott, this portionof the program is most impor-tant.

“A big part of this programis connecting with the fam-ilies,” she said. “Teachers willbe talking with parents abouthow they can support learningand ease anxiety of transitionfor both students and parents.We want these connections sowe can provide all the supportwe can for our families.”

TAYLOR MILL — After re-turning toTaylorMillnearmid-night May 28, the Scott HighSchool baseball team still had afull day of school the next dayastheywerefeelingthethrilloftheir 10th Region champion-ship.

Head coach Jeff Trame saidhe had about two hours of sleepas he went through his dutiesthe next day, including gettingadministrative work done forthe state tournament. But hispride in his Eagles gave himplenty of energy.

“It’s amazing,” he said. “Youthink about the experiencethese kids are going to be hold-ingonto forever.Wegot startedlate because of rain. Gamedidn’t start till 7:45, then a pret-ty long celebration after. Youprepare all day for the gameand you get there, and you’recelebrating. The kids had agreat time”

His Scott High School base-ball team won its first regionalchampionship ever in the 10thRegion, and first overall sinceclaiming the Ninth Region titlein 1988. Scott lost to South Lau-rel, 4-1, June 2 in the first roundof the state tourney in Lexing-ton.

Scott, the 37th Districtchampion, won the regional byknockingoff thetwobest teamsonpaper in the region, perenni-al favorite Harrison County(25-12) and Bourbon County,who finished the season with a33-4 record. Scott finished 25-15, with the state tourney lossending an eight-game winningstreak.

“It’s just that our guys havethe mental toughness to keep

grinding, no matter what thesituation,” Trame said. “We gotbehind early against HarrisonCounty3-1andgotbehindBour-bon 3-0. We came back and ourpitchers hung in there. The bigthing is we came up with somanyclutchhits, two-outhits toscore runs, and that was thewhole tournament.”

Against Harrison in thesemifinals, Scott trailed 3-1 inthe fourth inning when pitcherAndrew Trame and shortstopReed Spata conspired to end ajam with the old hidden-balltrick. Spata pretended to handtheball tohishurlerbut insteadkept it and eventually fooledthe Harrison runner as hestrayedoff second.Meanwhile,Trame kept out of the pitchingcircle, which would have nulli-fied the out by rule.

Scott had pulled it off oncethis season, and the pitcher andSpata called the play on theirown.

“We made big defensiveplays when we had to,” JeffTrame said. “We had a big dou-bleplayagainstHarrisonCoun-tywhen they could havebustedit open.”

Against Bourbon, Scotttrailed 3-0 after one inning, butrallied to take a 4-3 lead in thethird. Spata got on base andscored his first two trips to theplate and Blake Gay hit a two-run double. In the fifth, NickThurza’s sacrifice fly gaveScott the lead for good at 5-4.Josh Castleman hit a two-runsingle and later scored on awild pitch. Nick Brinkman hadtwo hits in the game.

Spata, named the 10th Re-

gion Player of the Year lastweek aswell, got on base everyat-bat in the final.

Thurza, a pinch hitter, had ahome run against MontgomeryCounty in the quarterfinals.Among a long list of Eagle he-roes, Ben Osborne had key hitsthroughout the tournament andJake Ohmer was involved in akeydoubleplayandalsogotoutof a jam on the mound.

“It’snot justoneperson,” thecoachsaid.“It’sbeenincrediblehow everybody has been into it- the bench, the energy, the en-thusiasm. They’re a team andthey have turned into a team.”

Consider risking yourheart for a foster child

I read with great interestRon Bertsch’s Viewpoint piecein a recent Recorder (”NoApol-ogies, No Excuses – ChildrenNeed You”), calling for goodfamilies to step forward tomeetthe tremendous need for fosterand adoptive families.

My family is acutely awareof that need, having recentlyworkedwithDCCHtoadopt ourdaughter from foster care.

The most common reactionwegetwhenwe tell our story is,“I couldn’t do that, it wouldbreak my heart if the child hadto go back.”

But while we sit back andprotect our own hearts, hun-dreds of children each monthare being abused and in need ofa safe, loving family, whetherfor a season, or for a lifetime.

What will happen to thesechildren if we don’t help?

I urge your readers, if youhave a heart at all, please con-sider calling DCCH to see howto get involved, whether as afoster or adoptive parent, as arespite caregiver for other fos-ter families, or as a mentor forone of the children in residen-tial care.

You don’t have to be perfectto be a good foster parent – farfrom it!

My family is nothing special,but with the training and sup-port we received from DCCH,weareable toparticipate insav-ing the life of a child.

Please consider risking yourheart to give hope to just one of“the least of these.”

What happened is difficultto forget. It was Dec. 21, 2010,when thieves broke into Chil-dren’s Home of NorthernKentucky, stealing copperplumbing (resulting in theflooding of the lower level ofCHNK’s administration build-ing), a TV from the recrea-tion room, and Christmaspresents intended for ourresidents.

After word of the crimespread, one of the first peopleto call us was Helen Carroll,manager of community rela-tions at Toyota. She said sim-ply, “What can we do?”

With all the recent pub-licity surrounding Toyota’smove to Texas, I’ve been hap-py to see equal coverage de-voted to Toyota’s positiveimpact on the region. Toyotais moving, yes, but its foot-

print on thisregion isn’tgoing any-where. Thecompany andits employeeshave been avery goodneighbor tomany.

For CHNK,an agencydevoted totreating

abused, neglected and at-riskyouth in both community- andresidential-based lines ofcare, Toyota has been morethan a neighbor; it’s been acommunity partner.

Not only did Toyota pre-sent us with a major gift afterthe 2010 break-in, but its em-ployees have also donatednew bikes and personal care

items for our youth in resi-dence, as well as coordinatedactivities on campus forthem. Toyota has served as acommunications sponsor forCHNK since 2011, and it hasbeen a long-running sponsorof our Junior Board CharityBall, which raises funds forour residential treatmentprogram. In addition, Carrollserves on our Board of Trust-ees.

These contributions fromToyota help us to continue toachieve our mission of pro-viding children and familieswith opportunity and hope forbetter lives. When companieslike Toyota invest in us, we’reable to bring to the communi-ty healthier kids who cangrow to become contributingmembers of society andhealthy, loving adults.

This life-changing work atCHNKmeans not only happi-er and more fulfilled humanbeings but also fewer publicfunds going toward unpop-ular items such as incarcer-ation, court involvement, andjuvenile detention.

Toyota and its employeestruly immersed themselvesinto the fabric of the North-ern Kentucky communitywhile they were here. Theywill be missed, but their in-vestment in our communitywill bear fruit long after thecompany has relocated to itsnew home.

Thank you, Toyota, forbuilding bridges to betterfutures with Children’s Homeof Northern Kentucky.

Rick Wurth is chief executiveofficer for Children’s Home of

Northern Kentucky.

Toyota’s investment in N. Ky.will continue to bear fruit

Did you know that anytime a child uses a paint-brush, that child is betteringour community?

Why? Because studieshave shown that the arts arenecessary for a healthy, vi-brant, well-developed econo-my; for the development of a“whole person;” and for suc-cessful schools. In recentyears the conversation sur-rounding the arts has shifted.The arts are no longer nicethey are necessary.

This is the message I wantto share as our communitystarts thinking about thefuture of Northern Ken-tucky. This is the message Ihope you will consider as youparticipate in myNKY(www.mynky.org), the com-munity visioning campaigncurrently underway that willhelp determine the prioritiesfor Northern Kentucky’snext strategic plan.

We need to reiterate tocommunity leaders that thearts, and arts organizations,play an essential role in our

region mov-ing forward.The arts en-hance ourcommunitiesand lead tothe devel-opment ofcitizens whovalue cre-ativity andentrepre-neurship.

In North-ern Kentucky, one of thosearts organizations is TheCarnegie. The Carnegie hasbeen operating at the cornerof Scott and Robbins, theheart of Covington, since the1970s. Over the years it hasevolved from a grassroots,volunteer-run organizationinto a leader and championfor the arts in Northern Ken-tucky.

The growth of The Car-negie’s programs and itscommitment to NorthernKentucky have led to a rein-vestment of more than $8million into its campus,

bringing vibrancy to an areaonce experiencing urbandecay. The Carnegie is notonly investing in itself, but inthe community in which itresides. With this reinvest-ment, the community sur-rounding The Carnegie hasalso begun to blossom. Fromthe redevelopment of River’sEdge at Eastside Pointe toHotel Covington to the Hell-man Lumber Building.

According to a recentsurvey, on average one-thirdof Carnegie patrons spend anaverage of $75 dining outlocally before or after a Car-negie event. Roughly 400patrons attend the gallerieson a Friday night, meaningmore than $9,000 is beingspent in our community di-rectly because of the arts.

In addition to financialimpact of the arts on theregion, the arts also play acritical role in the devel-opment of our children. Stud-ies show involvement andexposure to the arts im-proves critical thinking and

creativity, helps increaseself-esteem, and has a posi-tive impact on studentachievement. More specifi-cally, the arts build flexibil-ity for responding to ques-tions that have no single,standard answer. “Thinkingoutside the box” is real and itcomes from having access tocreative thinking.

Visiting myNKY.org andlending your opinion andyour voice will affect thedirection of the next strate-gic plan, which guides law-makers and community mov-ers and shakers when itcomes time to invest publicfunds. When you do visitmyNKY.org to weigh in, Ihope you will think about thearts, the impact they havehad on your own life, and theimportant role the arts playin making the communitiesof Northern Kentucky morevibrant and developed.

Katie Brass is executive director ofThe Carnegie.

The arts aren’t just niceto have, they are necessary

May 29 question:Where is the best park in the

area and why do you think it’sat the top of the list?

“I love Idlewild Park inBurlington. It has the No. 4ranked disc golf course inthe nation:http://bit.ly/discreview. Andit’s free!”

Eric Hendrix“Definitely Idlewild Park

in Burlington. So many trailsand things to do. Includingthe wonderful dog park mydog adores!”

Kylie Cummings“It’s hard to have one any

more. All our favorites havebeen taken over by drug us-ers. Every timewe have gonethis year we have found nee-dles or used condoms. Worsepart is when you look over

and your child says what’sthis with a condom in theirhand. We have decided tostay away from them untilthey are properly cleanedand watched.

“The last straw was thenew park we went to andmany car windows were bro-ken by thieves stealing fromthem. Boone County is going

downhill and becoming lesssafe for our kids to enjoyanything but our houses oryards.”

Danielle Marie“Railroad Depot Park in

Erlanger. Small, but appro-priate for little ones, plustrains! There is a woodentrain the kids can play on,and it’s right next to an activetrain line.”

Kristy Knight Resciniti“Best park is President’s

Park in Edgewood fun 4 ev-eryone.”

Tammy Reinhardt Lockard“Boone Cliffs and The

Dinsmore are two very ter-rific parks almost adjacentto one another. Very cleanand very relaxing.

John Bernard“We have many great hik-

ing opportunities in Boone

County. We’ve hiked Dins-more, Boone Cliffs, MiddleCreek and Gunpowder. As afamily with five differentopinions, it’s hard to pick justone, but I think our favoriteis Boone Cliffs. Our favoriteplayground is England Idle-wild park.

“We like the dog parkthere too, but the agilityequipment has fallen intodisrepair and that is disap-pointing.”

Anna Merlo“I also agree, Boone

Cliffs. But my family doesnot go with any valuables inour car because of the theftsand we make sure our cardoors are locked. It’s a shameour parks have come to this.Maybe they need to be pa-trolled.”

Noah Halpin’s fish pole bentdown toward the water and thebobber disappeared beneaththe surface.

The13-year old boy had beenpatiently waiting in his wheel-chair, but now he was excited –he’d finally caught a fish. Hesmiled as volunteerChetHayesreeled in the line and swung thefish closer to him.

His mother, Mary Pat, guid-edhishandsohecouldtouchthefish with his index finger, thenthey both broke out laughing.

This wasn’t just any fishingouting for the family fromBur-lington. Noah was competing inthe 37th annual Special Olym-pics Fishing Derby.

On May 10 about 40 partici-pants crowded around thebanks of Boone Lake in Walton.

This year’s event was spon-sored by the Fifth District Fed-eration of Kentucky Sports-men.

“We’vebeen cominghere forabout three or four years,” Ma-ry Pat Halpin said. “The volun-teers are awesome. They put ontheworms and take off the fish.We hold the pole!”

About 50 volunteers were onhand to help.

There were many prizes tobe won, including those for big-gest fish, the most caught, andmost unusual.

“Everybody gets some-thing,” said volunteer Ledford

Cole of Independence. Cole hasbeen with the derby from thebeginning.

There are no age limits inSpecial Olympics, organizerCindy Goetz explained. “So wehave kids and adults, from theages of 4 to 47.”

AngieReedofEdgewoodandher family have come to theevent for the past five years.“It’s a great opportunity forher,” she said as she watchedher 13-year-old daughter Cait-lin. “She lovesmeeting people.”

“It’s fun to catch fish,” Cait-lin shared.

“It gets us together,” hermother added. “And everyoneis a winner.”

SUMMER REFLECTIONS

A crew works on the windows at the Xavier University building on Grandview Drive inFort Mitchell. NANCY DALY/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Gosh, how time flies.Seems like itwas just yes-terday when my boyswere little and my hus-band, Frank, answeredthiswaywhenIaskedhim

what hewanted forFather’sDay.

“No pre-sents, justsomethingfrom thegrill andsomepeaceand quiet.”

I have tolaughwhen

I recall how the food wasnever a problem, but thepeace and quiet sure was.Dad’s day is agood time tocelebrate all the dads inyour life, both ones youare related to and thoseyou are not. And if you’renervous about feedinghim a feast from the grill,here are some basics tomake you a grill master!

Grilling basics 101:Clean that grill: A

long-handled, stiff brushworks well. Use it twice:when grate is preheatedbut before the food goeson and again after you’redone cooking, while it’sstill hot.

Oiling the grate: Bestto do when grill is hot.Make a small pad out of apaper towel and dip it intooil, then rub it with long-handled tongs over barsof grate. This also helpsclean off debris. If youwant to spray, take thegrate off the grill awayfrom the fire. Neverspray oil onto grate overthe fire.

Wood chips: Theseadd distinctive flavors,

and should be soaked inwater about 30 minutesbefore grilling. I like tosoak chips in wine andherbs. Just drain themwell and wrap in a foilpacket. Poke holes in toponly and place among thecoals or rocks.

Have on hand: Thickgrill gloves, oven mitts orpotholders, apron andtowels.

Salt it down: A box ofcoarse salt is a must tohave for sprinkling over agrease fire.

Don’t know a rub fromamop?

Rub:A “dry”marinade– a mixture of dried sea-sonings rubbed directlyonto surface of meat.Adds intense flavor andcoating forms a seal. Letrubbedmeats stand for 30minutes before cooking toallow seasonings to pene-trate.

Mop: This comes fromthe tool used to dab sauceon barbecued meats. Itlooks just like a little cot-ton “mop” on the end andis used instead of a brush.

Marinade: Meats areput into seasoned liquids,which enhance flavor andtenderize. Marinadesmoisten surface of meatso it doesn’t dry out overhot coals.

Glaze: A thin type ofsauce that is usuallyglossy when brushed onfoods, sometimes duringthe last five minutes ofgrilling, and the glaze re-mains glossy after cook-ing.

Grilled steak withgarlic and thymerub

What cut to use? Flat

iron ispart of thechucksoit has great beefy flavorand is almost as tender astenderloin. Originally,skirt steak was cut to beused in fajitas and has abitmorefat thanthehang-er or flank. Flank workswell here too. My favor-itesare flat ironandflank.Serve with a side ofgrilled thick-sliced pota-toes.

For each steak (1-1/2pounds approximately)

Combine with enougholive oil to make a pastyrub:

2 teaspoons choppedfresh thyme or 1 tea-spoon dried thymeleaves

2 teaspoons garlic1/2 teaspoon pepper

and1 teaspoon saltFor sprinkling on im-

mediately after grilling:Romano cheese andchopped parsley

Score steak on bothsides. Rub seasoning ontosteak onboth sides. Let sitabout30minutes.Placeonhotgrill andgrill untilme-dium rare to medium,turningonce.Removeandsprinkle with cheese. Letrest, tented, 5 minutes orso and slice thinly againstgrain.

Chipotle butterMix together and then

roll into a log and place in

refrigerator or freezer.This is so delicious on topof a plain grilled steak.

1/2 cup unsalted but-ter, completely softened

Canned chipotle chil-ies in adobo, stemmed,seeded and minced – totaste

2 tablespoons limejuice

Scant teaspoonground cumin

Salt to taste.

ELSMERE — Dixie Sta-tion takes its name fromthe historic Dixie High-way to pay homage to thearea’s history as a destina-tion for thosewho enjoyedtrain rides in the late1890s.

Theplan for the tavern,at 4351 Dixie Highway inElsmere, according togeneral manager MartyWilson, is to stay true tothe community and the“heart” of the businessesthat have served in the lo-cation in years past.

The tavern is n thesame building that hasheld many neighborhoodrestaurants and bars overthe past 50 years, includ-ing Lum’s, Choo Choo’sLounge, Templar’s andThe Finish Line bar.

“This location has arich service history, nur-tured for the last 20 yearsbytheFinishLine,”Wilsonsaid. “We are honored totake the business into thenext chapter of its life.”

The Finish Line closed

in December and after afew weeks of renovationsand upgrades, Dixie Sta-tion opened. The tavern isowned and operated byMt.ZionHospitalitywhichalso operates WoodiesTavernonMt.ZionRoadinBoone County. The goalfor the new tavern is to be“firstandforemostagreatneighborhoodbar,”Wilsonsaid.

“We distinguish our-selves with superior cus-tomer experience eachand every time someonechooses us to share timewith friends and have adrink,” he said. “We havesomething for everyone,fromkaraoke, to darts andbilliards, to eight HDTV’s.”

The best element of thebusiness, however, is thepeople.

“Everybody knowseach other. People movefrom table to table talk-ing,” Wilson said. “We’rethe place where guestshave their celebrationslike birthdays or anniver-saries. We haven’t createdthis environment, we in-

herited it – that communi-ty feel.We’re like the fam-ily living room of sorts.”

Karla Hill of Independ-ence visits Dixie Stationabout twice a week and ishappy to call it one of herfavorite hang out spots.

“It’s a relaxing place,”she said. “The people arefriendly. It’s a no drama,friendly atmosphere,that’s one of the reasons Ikeep coming here. Theyalso have good bands onthe weekends. It’s just anice community-orientedplace.”
