Eagle Scout candidate Ste-phen Madden might be betterknown as Santa’s helper thisChristmas season.

Madden, 16, of Hebron, con-vinced all 13 Walgreens storesto give all toy barrel donationsto Steinford Toy Foundation,an 83-year tradition of spread-ing Christmas cheer in North-ern Kentucky.

Steinford, a nonprofit runby volunteers, put toys in 4,000children’s hands last year in1,400 Northern Kentucky fam-ilies. George and Rose Stein-ford started giving toys tochildren in need in 1932 out oftheir Covington home in Main-Strasse Village.

“Steinford Toy Foundationactually impacts the lives ofNorthern Kentucky kids whowouldn’t otherwise havesomething for Christmas,”Madden said.

The Troop 727 memberchose a toy drive to qualify forScouting’s highest achieve-ment – Eagle Scout.

“They tell us to do some-thing that actually meanssomething to us,” he said.“And don’t just go and build abench.”

Delivering donated toys forSteinford has been a father-son tradition for Madden sincehe was 8 years old.

Madden said he always re-members reactions on par-ents’ faces realizing they havetoys for their children.

“You just see the smiles ontheir faces and it’s incredible,”he said.

Madden said he’s donatingat least half his next paycheckfrom his job at BurlingtonWalgreens to buy more newtoys for Steinford.

New generation picksup the baton

Steinford’s board presi-dent, Tom Wiechman, of Bur-lington, said Madden is part ofa new generation carrying onthe foundation’s work.

“We want children to expe-rience that joy that is Christ-mas morning,” Wiechmansaid.

Madden’s parents are for-mer Steinford board mem-bers.

“Now their son comes alongand wants to move this thingforward,” he said.

Madden has committed tovolunteering at Steinford andhopefully become a boardmember one day, Wiechman

EDGEWOOD – Being a partof a championship winningband is “less about the winningand more about the journey,”according to Robb Duddey,band director of Dixie HeightsHigh School.

Although he is “very proud”of his band students for recent-ly taking home the champion-ship title of the Mid-States BandAssociation Class AAAA com-petition, he hopes they’re moreproud of their entire season ofhard work.

This is the band’s secondyear to take home the trophy.

“We like to win, but we don’tpreach winning here,” Duddeysaid. “We try to get it in our stu-dents’ heads it’s just an opinionof judges. What it’s really about

is the journey and how far wecan come and touching some-one with our music.”

Senior band member JoshWuestefeld, 17, said the win wasthe icing on the cake, but all thathe’s learned as a member of themarching band is what makesall the hard work worthwhile.

“Practice really does payoff,” said Wuestefeld, who playsthe snare drum. “I’ve learned alot while being in the band. It’shelped me to grow socially andget along with others. It’s alsohelped me to become a betterplayer. Music is a good hobby tohave and the feeling it gives meis indescribable. It’s a lot offun.”

It’s also a lot of hard work.Duddey said the band practiceson average 12 hours a week,spread across three days. Fri-days are taken up with the foot-

ball games and Saturdays aretaken up with competitions.

“You practice long andhard,” senior color guard mem-ber Amanda Sheppard, 18, said.“You get tired, you get frustrat-ed at times but you overcomethat and that’s what we’ve donethis year. We’ve stuck togeth-er.”

Although she appreciatesthe championship win, Shep-pard said her favorite part ofthe season is always the oppor-tunity to perform.

“I love the feeling I get,” shesaid. “Sometimes I cry becauseI’m so happy we performed agreat show that is really mean-ingful.”

Junior member BrandonWagner, 16, who plays the bari-tone, said he likes performing

BURLINGTON –Boone County approved$12 million in industrialbuilding revenue and re-funding bonds to help St.Elizabeth take over andexpand the METS Centerin Erlanger.

The bond issue was ap-proved in a resolution by aunanimous vote duringthe Boone County FiscalCourt meeting Nov. 4.Commissioner CharlieWalton was absent.

The funds will help St.Elizabeth Healthcare withacquisition, construction,equipping and refinanc-ing of the center, which isto include a 25,000-square-

foot expansion, accordingto County AdministratorJeff Earlywine.

“I think it’s a great wayto move the facility for-ward,” CommissionerCharlie Kenner said. “It’sa great facility. We’vebeen to a lot of eventsthere over the years. It’s agreat use and I think it’s awin-win for everybody.”

The bonds basicallycontinue a financial ar-rangement established in2002 among Boone Coun-ty, the property ownerCorporex and the previ-ous tenant, Northern Ken-tucky University, for thecenter located at 3861Olympic Blvd., Erlanger.The tax-exempt status onthe 30-year bonds expiresin 2032.

Earlywine said thebond issuance does not ob-ligate the county to repaythe bonds and they aren’tpledged against the coun-ty’s credit. Repayment is a

responsibility of the pri-vate property owner, Cor-porex.

Some payments in lieuof taxes are to be paid toPoint Pleasant Fire Pro-tection District, whichwould have received tax-es if the organizations in-volved were not exemptfrom ad valorem taxation.

Payroll taxes collectedfrom the property will in-crease, according toEarlywine, both for thecounty and Boone CountySchool District, but theschool taxes are only col-lected from employeeswho live and work in thecounty.

Earlywine said NKUstationed about five full-time employees at the cen-ter, with a combined pay-roll of less than $300,000,and the 90 St. Elizabethemployees expected atthe center would have acombined payroll of morethan $6 million each year.

St. Elizabeth Presidentand CEO Garren Colvinsaid the 7-acre propertywould become a “state-of-the-art educational centerthat will house nine simu-lation labs” for trainingnurses, clinicians and oth-er medical staff mem-bers.

Public use and rental ofthe METS Center are ex-pected to continue afterconstruction is complete,Colvin said.

“In the transition, weprobably won’t be able toaccommodate anybodyuntil it’s fully built out,” hesaid.

The Enquirer reportedin October that eventsplanned at the METS Cen-ter before Nov. 30 will re-main on the calendar, andevents after Nov. 30 arebeing rescheduled for al-ternative locations.

members – in their 20s,30s and early 40 – are sonsand daughters of formerboard members, he said.

“It’s time for the nextgeneration to step up andget involved, and we havethat,” Wiechman said.

Young members of theCovington-Kenton Coun-

ty Jaycees took overChristmas donations in1974 after Rose Steinforddied in 1973 and GeorgeSteinford aged, he said.George Steinford saw thefoundation continue untilhis death in 1980.

“Those young volun-teers of the 1970s are whatwe consider the old guysnow,” Wiechman, 60, said.

Keeping alive aprecious holidaytradition

Toys are still sortedseveral weeks beforeChristmas at a Covingtongarage George Steinfordpurchased, Wiechmansaid.

Toy donation drives atWalgreens and ones likeFlorence Rotary’s organi-zation of 50 area drop box-es supplement $40,000spent annually by Stein-ford Foundation on new

toys, Wiechman said.People are referred to

Steinford, or can applythemselves, online atbit.ly/toyrefer.

Volunteers start deli-vering toys, which aremostly new with somegently used donations,around now, Wiechmansaid.

Last-minute requestsfor toys are delivered, too.

“Usually every Christ-mas Eve we’re out,” hesaid. “And usually we onlyhave about a dozen deliv-eries left.”

Mike Madden, Ste-phen’s father, said hejoined Steinford as a vol-unteer through the Jay-cees while living in hishometown of Bellevue.

Madden started takinghis son to help pack toysand make deliveries onweekends as a way toshow his son others arenot as fortunate.

LEGO League has local stu-dents thinking outside of theclassroom and about their com-munity.

Two Northern Kentuckyteams from New Haven Ele-mentary and Gray MiddleSchool, and Villa MadonnaAcademy are working to makea difference in the communitywith recycling projects.

“LEGO League is a greatprogram,” said New Haven andGray league coach BryanCobb. “A lot of lessons comeinto play with LEGO League.Students learn to work as ateam, have fun, and learn gra-cious professionalism and howto be good members of the com-munity. The experience issomething that will help themmove forward in life.”

The LEGO League is part ofthe FIRST Robotics program,which provides hands-on learn-ing experiences in science,technology, engineer, math(STEM). The program alsostresses 21st century skills thatfocus on communication, col-laboration, problem solvingand innovative thinking.

Each year students are giv-en a theme and must build theirrobot around that theme tocompete in various challenges.In addition to building a robot,students are also given a com-munity service project that re-quires research and action.This year’s theme revolvesaround recycling.

Sharing informationThe New Haven and Gray

team, the Robo Handlers, haveteamed up with Boone CountySolid Waste Management toproduce a video in order to in-crease recycling awarenesswithin Boone County. Thevideo will be showing in allBoone County schools, publicaccess, YouTube andboonecountyky.org.

Rylan Moseley, 10, of NewHaven said he is excited aboutthe project.

“We learned that pretty

much everything can be recy-cled, but not all people do it,” hesaid. “Recycling is good be-cause it keeps the Earth clean.”

His dad, Craig Moseley, whoalso coaches the team, said theexperience has been good forRylan and his teammates, forc-ing them to think outside ofwhat they may normally thinkabout.

“LEGO League is good atcombining things they enjoywith things beyond their think-ing like public speaking, prob-lem solving and communitysharing. I don’t know howmany kids think about recy-cling, but now it’s somethingthey’re all thinking about.”

Sharing LEGOsAt Villa Madonna Academy,

the Bluelightening LEGO Botsare working on a special pro-ject to encourage the reuse ofLEGOs. They’re collecting un-used LEGOs, cleaning andpackaging them to donate tochildren at the DCCH Chil-dren’s Home.

“It makes our souls feel bet-ter giving to those who don’t al-ways get,” said Jacob Smith, 11.“And we’re helping the Earthalong with it.”

Villa Madonna league coachNicole Kuzmin-Nichols saidthis project was a total studentidea. She said when they did re-search they learned that LE-GOs can’t be recycled. Theywanted to find a new home forthese LEGOs, and learnedabout the DCCH Center forChildren’s and Family locatedin Fort Mitchell.

“At Villa Madonna, we havea service component we wantto teach our students,” she said.“Our kids understand that notall kids have access to the samethings they do. This has been agreat learning experience.”

DCCH grants coordinatorStacy Neurohr said the chil-dren’s home appreciates VillaMadonna’s gift.

“A lot of our kids haven’t hadthe luxury of toys and LEGOsespecially get them fired upand excited,” she said. “Ourkids really appreciate any do-nations; it means a lot to them,especially that other kidswould do this. This shows peo-ple care about them and they’renot alone in the world. It makesa huge impact.”

PUZZLE ANSWERS

DECEMBER 3, 2015 • COMMUNITY RECORDER • 7ANEWS

An ounce of prevention is worth apound of cure. Especially when it comesto leavening baked goods during this su-per busy holiday season.

That’s why I’m reminding you again tocheck your leavening agents. For bakingpowder, stir a teaspoon or so into 1/4 cupwarm water. It should fizz up right away.If not, toss it.

To test leavening power in baking soda,stir a teaspoon or so into 1/4 cup of vine-gar or lemon juice. It should also fizz upright away.

Stir a packet of yeast in very warm waterwith a pinch of sugar to feed it. If it’s good, itwill bubble/foam after a few minutes. I store myyeast in the freezer for longer shelf life.

Readers want to knowWhat’s that white coating or speckling on my

chocolate?The whitish layer/speckling is what is known

as “chocolate bloom.” There are two types: fatand sugar bloom.

Fat bloom is caused when chocolate isexposed to high temperatures and thenallowed to reset, or is not tempered prop-erly. The cocoa butter melts and sep-arates, then rises to the surface creatinga whitish “bloom.”

Chocolate looks speckled rather thanwhitish, caused by an excess of moisturethat makes the sugar crystallize.

Store in cool place to avoid bloom.

Using bloomed chocolateYes, it’s safe. It may not have the

“snap” and silky-smooth texture of temperedchocolate, but the flavor is still good.

Read about the difference between bitter,bittersweet, semisweet, milk and white choco-late at my blog, Abouteating.

Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educa-tor, Jungle Jim’s Eastgate culinary professionaland author. Find her blog online atAbouteating.com. Email her at [email protected] with “Rita’s kitchen” inthe subject line.

Savory, sweet bacon, coffee cake for brunch

Savory and sweet bacon for brunch

This is a good recipe for brunch since it’s yummy warm or roomtemperature. The cayenne gives it punch; the sugar lends a mellowsweetness. Use high quality, thick cut bacon for best results.

1 pound thick cut bacon

Mix:

1/4 cup brown sugar, packedScant 1/2 teaspoon each cayenne and black pepper

Preheat oven to 350. Lay bacon in single layer on sprayed sheet.Rub a bit less than half the sugar mixture on top. Bake in mid-

dle of oven about 15-20 minutes. Turn over and sprinkle with rest ofmixture. Bake until crisp, about 15 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Lois Boekley’s Crumb Coffee Cake

Brunch is a popular way to entertain during the holidays.Here’s a recipe from reader Lois Boekley, who treasures her family’sgenerational recipes. Lois said: “I got the recipe from my grand-mother many years ago, and tweaked it to make it my own. I haveshared this cake with many people over the years to welcome newneighbors, for potlucks, and for friends who are under the weath-er.” Lois’ tip on not over mixing the batter results in a more tender,nice textured, cake.

3 -1/3 cups all-purpose flour2-1/4 cups sugar1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon1/2 teaspoon nutmegPinch salt18 tablespoons salted butter or margarine1 cup buttermilk1 teaspoon baking soda2 eggs

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch roundor two 8-inch square pans or one 13 by 9-inch pan.

Combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.Using a pastry blender cut in the butter or margarine. (This

can also be done in batches in a food processor.)Remove 2 cups of the mixture and set aside.Stir the baking soda into the buttermilk. Immediately add the

buttermilk mixture and the eggs to the remaining crumb mixture.Mix only until the mixture is evenly moistened; do not over mix.The batter will be lumpy.

Transfer the batter into the prepared pan(s). Sprinkle with thereserved crumb mixture.

Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean,about 25 to 30 minutes for the 8- or 9-inch cakes or 30 to 35 min-utes for the 13 by 9-inch cake. Cool on a wire rack.

Note: This cake is best served warm. Reheat individual por-tions in the microwave oven.

What do Steve Jobs, BabeRuth, Eric Clapton and Elea-nor Roosevelt have in com-mon? All were adopted.

In Kentucky there are cur-rently 7,607 children without apermanent home. Nationally,the last Federal Adoption andFoster Care Analysis reported415,000 kids in foster care with108,000 eagerly awaiting to beadopted.

We have come a long wayas a society since the orphantrains of the 1800s relocatedthousands of kids from theeast coast to towns throughoutthe U.S. and Canada. Backthen, families were not neces-sarily vetted. An orphan couldwind up in a worse situationthan the one from which theirwoes began.

Today, single individualsand families work with me toeither foster or adopt a child.The process is easy.

If you areat least 21years old,financiallystable and ingood physicaland mentalhealth, youcould be eligi-ble to adopt.The processinvolves 30hours of pre-service prep-

aration training. It may take6-9 months for the approvalprocess. Foster parents mayreceive a child shortly afterapproval. For adoption place-ments, the process may take abit longer.

This year, National Adop-tion Month in November fo-cused on older adoptions.Think about the adoption ofhigh schooler-turned-pro-football-star Michael Oher in

the movie “The Blind Side.”He was lucky enough to beadopted by a loving familybefore he turned 18, the timewhen children in the system“age out” and are sent out ontheir own to fend for them-selves.

I encourage every family toconsider sharing their liveswith an adoptee. I can’t guar-antee that they will grow up tobe a Steve Jobs or Babe Ruth,but I do know from experiencethat the process has broughtjoy to thousands of youngstersas well as to the adults whounselfishly open their homesand hearts to needy children.

Why you should consider adoption

You’d be hard pressed tofind someone in Northern Ken-tucky that hasn’t heard of St.Elizabeth. As the region’s larg-est medical provider, it seemseveryone has visited a St. Eliza-beth hospital or urgent carefacility at one time or another.

From the birth of our chil-dren, to the treating of every-thing from sprained ankles toopen heart surgeries, St. Eliza-beth health care is “rightaround the corner.”

And as one of the region’slargest employers (over 7,000employees throughout North-ern Kentucky), its engagementin the business community hasbeen profound.

But I suspect most NorthernKentuckians have no idea aboutthe role the St. Elizabeth Foun-dation, a part of St. ElizabethHealthcare, plays in our com-munity. That should change, asthe foundation is critical to ourcollective well-being.

Founded in 1989, the St. Eliz-abeth Foundation was createdto connect with the community,and provide the funding neces-sary to assist St. Elizabeth inthe programs and services itsoffers.

You see, there is a gap be-tween what St. Elizabeth takesin and what is actually needed.

I must admit, I was com-pletely unaware of how big thatgap was when I sat down withmy friend Mary Lynn Brune-mann, the new developmentdirector for the St. ElizabethFoundation (SEF), who workswith organizations and individ-ual donors.

As she described the founda-tion’s scope of work, I wasblown away.

“Just walk through any St.Elizabeth facility and you’ll seethe impact of the foundation.”she told me. “From the bedsideradios in the Hospice Center, tothe CardioVascular MobileHealth Unit or Breast Center,much of what you see servingour community was paid for insome part by donations to theFoundation.”

I had no idea that when ourdaughter was born, we receivedbenefits from the foundation.For example, the lactation con-sultants, hearing tests for ba-bies, and the blanket warmerswere funded by the foundation.

The foundation also provid-ed funding for da Vinci robots.These devices (St. Elizabeth hasfour of them) enable a surgeonto perform micro-movementsof miniaturized instrumentsinside a patient. Because theyare cutting less, and cuttingmore accurately, patients seesignificantly less pain, lessblood loss, less scarring andshorter recovery times.

Thanks to the foundation,issues that used to take weeksto recover from, now take onlydays. That’s a collective savingsfor the entire community. Fam-ilies get more time with theirloved ones, businesses get em-ployees back to work sooner,etc.

Then there is the DualSource CT scanner. Don’t knowwhat that is? Don’t feel bad,neither did I. But according toBrunemann, “It blows everyother imaging device out of thewater, delivering 3-D images ofyour heart or brain – includingblood flow – in less time than it

takes for aheartbeat! Itshows yourheart’s bloodflow in thecoronary arter-ies withouthaving to do anangiogram.”

Again, de-vices like thistranslate intoless pain,shorter recov-

ery times, and better outcomes. There are also initiatives

funded by the foundation thatare intended to provide moreproactive health care for ourcommunity. Initiatives like thecardiovascular van. Brune-mann explains, “It’s a mobilevan that goes out into the com-munity to perform vascularscreens and EKG’s.”

There are just too manyinitiatives by the foundation tolist them all here.

But one new upcoming ini-tiative that jumped out at mewas the proposed Clinical Re-search Institute. Since Ken-tucky is the worst state in thenation for cancer deaths (50th),it stands to reason that we willbenefit tremendously from newand innovative approaches totreatment.

The proposed clinical re-search institute (to be located inEdgewood) will bring clinicaltrials here that aren’t currentlyavailable in this region. PhaseIII clinical trials – medications,technology, devices not yet onthe market.

This will also help us recruittop-notch medical professionalswho not only want to care forpatients but also want to doresearch.

While Mary Lynn was ex-tremely passionate about thework being done by the founda-tion, she is quick to remind methat “If it wasn’t for the gener-osity of the community, busi-nesses and individuals, thefoundation wouldn’t exist. Thiswork is a community effortdesigned to improve the healthof us all.”

I hope you’ll help spread theword about the St. ElizabethFoundation, and the differenceit is making in our community.It is another hidden gem for ourregion. One that is critical toour well-being, whether weknow it or not.

RUSSELLVILLE, Ky. – BrettSlusher’s jersey was the mud-diest of all the Tigers after ahard-fought game on the grassat Ken Barrett Field Fridaynight.

The Beechwood seniorstandout led the Tigers on bothends of the ball in a KHSAAClass 1A state semifinal, liftingBeechwood (13-1) to a 34-25 winover Russellville (11-3). The Ti-gers (13-1) advance to theKHSAA state championshipgame, facing Pikeville at West-ern Kentucky University inBowling Green. The Tigers willbe in the state finals for the firsttime since 2008. Slusher foughtback tears as he reflected onwhat the win meant.

“The team hung in there to-night,” Slusher said. “I’ve neverbeen so proud of a group of guysin my life. We needed this toughwin and we ended the drought.We did it. We’re coming back.”

Slusher rushed for morethan 100 yards in the game andhad three key first-half recep-tions for 50 yards. At times, heplayed quarterback, taking ashort shotgun snap in the Pistolformation, a new wrinkle inBeechwood’s offense.

Slusher, one of the state’s topreceivers with 51 catches for1,062 yards and 19 TDs comingin, had to become more versa-tile after the Tigers lost leadingrusher Ethan Stringer to injuryearly in the playoffs.

“After Ethan went down, Iknew I was going to have to con-tribute more than I already do,”Slusher said. “I knew I had togrow up big time and that’s whatI had to do. It was 11 men everyplay in the white jerseys andI’m proud of everyone.”

Perennial playoff nemesisMayfield is now in another classafter eliminating the Tigers inthe semifinals five of the previ-ous six seasons, but Beechwoodstill had to contend with the pes-ky Panthers of Russellville Fri-day night. The Panthers came inwith three state titles to their

credit but none since 1990, andthey challenged the Tigers whocame more than four hours tothis southern Kentucky city.

“It’s incredible,” said Beech-wood head coach Noel Rash.“We got so used to going. Whenboth of us got switched to theWest, we both had trouble get-ting past Joe (Morris) and hisMayfield boys. It’s been sixyears, which is a long time forus. I’m happy for the kids.”

The game was a track meetfor most of the first half. Beech-wood received the ball first. Af-ter Kyle Fieger threw a longpass incomplete, the Tigerskept the ball on the ground andadvanced 69 yards on 10 plays,split between Slusher, TrevorSoward and Logan Castleman.Slusher carried in from 12 yardsout, and Mario German’s PATmade it 7-0.

Russellville came right backas Josh Bigbee outran the de-fense down his left sideline for a58-yard TD. The PAT tied it at 7with 6:04 to go in the first quar-ter.

The Tigers scored on theirnext drive. Fieger completedfour passes to four different re-ceivers, totaling 51 yards, be-fore taking it in himself on the10th play of the drive. Fiegerrolled out to his left and re-versed field, eventually findingthe endzone on the opposite sideof the field.

The Panthers took over attheir own 36 and marched 64yards, scoring on a sneak byquarterback Jaylyn McMurry.On the PAT, McMurry took thesnap for the kick and immedi-ately took off on what appearedto be a designed fake. The Ti-gers brought him down wellshort of the goal line and it re-mained 14-13 with 7:30 to go inthe half.

The Tigers marched rightback down the field on the ensu-ing drive. Slusher scored tomake it 21-13 with 4:55 to go inthe half.

Russellville’s next drive be-came the first fruitless one of

The following is a look atboys basketball teams for theKenton County weekly news-papers

Covington Catholic hastwo returning starters fromlast year’s team that went 31-6and reached the state semifi-nals before losing a tough over-time decision to Owensboro.

The two starters have plen-ty of experience in guards ColeVonHandorf and Andy Flood.VonHandorf, a junior, returnsas one of the top players in thestate after averaging 18 pointsand four assists. He had a verystrong and clutch postseason.He has 1,000 points already in aCov Cath uniform and canchallenge the school record.He has offers from several Di-vision I schools including De-Paul, Pepperdine, NKU andEKU. He is rated as by North-ern Kentucky coaches as thetop player in the area and theColonels are picked by them torepeat as regional champs.

Flood, a 6-foot-4 seniorguard, posted nine points agame and hit 40 percent from3-point range. He was voted11th in NKY.

Other players to watchearly on are 6-foot-3 sopho-more guards CJ Fredrick andAJ Mayer, and senior centerWill Heppler. Heppler, a 6-5center, averaged three pointsand two rebounds a game andhad several key plays in theSweet 16.

Scott Ruthsatz returns forhis fifth year as CCH headcoach with a record of 108-29.

“We have a nice amount ofdepth heading into the seasonand a lot of big game experi-ence. We have nice size at eachposition. Cole VonHandorf andAndy Flood look to lead theteam on both ends of the court.Rebounding is our biggestarea that we need to improveon.”

Beechwood was 10-16 lastseason for returning headcoach Erik Goetz. The Tigersgraduated sharpshootingguards Connor Brock and Ja-cob Huff, who combined formore than 28 points a game lastseason. Huff averaged 17.4with 51 3-pointers made.

The top returning scorer issenior center J.T. Toebbe atnine points a contest. He shot50 percent from the floor and

pulled down a team-high sevenrebounds a contest.

Other contributors return-ing begin with sophomoreMitchell Schilling, junior BenToebbe and senior Ryan Ban-kamper.

Calvary Christian was 4-23last season and has a new headcoach in Ryan Neises, who washead coach at Ohio’s DaytonChristian the previous two sea-sons and was also an assistantat Cedarville University be-fore that.

The Cougars will be led byjunior guard Aikeem Riley,who averaged 15 points a gameand is a strong shooter.

Junior Justin Wade aver-aged 12.4 points a game lastseason. Sophomore guard Dan-ny McWhorter is a strong, ver-satile guard.

Perimeter play is a strengthwhile experience and size arepreseason concerns.

Dixie Heights was 23-8 lastseason and 34th District cham-pions for head coach Ken Che-valier, who returns for his 12th

season with a 206-125 record.Dixie graduated seven sen-

iors, led by NCAA Division IIIsignees Austin Schreck (Capi-tal) and Liam Rabe (Mount St.Joseph).

Junior point guard HunterMayer is the lone returningstarter, averaging five pointsand three rebounds last sea-son.

Ian Brolley transferredfrom Holmes and looks to be akey addition. He becomes eli-gible to play Dec. 14. Juniorpost player Reed Bradfield,senior small forward JakeJones and sophomore sharp-shooter AJ Plitzuweit are othernewcomers to watch early on.

Dixie is perimeter-orientedthis season with one playerover 6-foot-2.

“After graduating sevenseniors who carried the bulk ofthe scoring and reboundingload last season we will belooking at several young, inex-perienced players to step upand prove they are capable ofplaying varsity basketball. Ifwe stay healthy and continueto improve the first fewmonths of the season we hopeto be a tough out come tourna-ment time.”

Holmes was 23-9 last sea-son for head coach Mike List-erman, who returns for his sec-ond season at Holmes and 15th

overall after a long reign at Co-vington Catholic. The Bulldogswill have a different look with-out James Bolden running theshow at point guard, but haveplenty of returning talent. Bol-den is now at West VirginiaUniversity.

Senior guard MarkelMcClendon returns after aver-aging 12.5 points a game lastseason. He is ranked eighthoverall among Northern Ken-tucky players by area coaches.Senior forward Andrew Ar-nold, 6-foot-2, posted eightpoints and 5.5 rebounds a con-test.

Top newcomers to watchearly on start with seniorguards Jordan Daniels andBrennon Englemon, seniorcenter Brandon Moore, juniorforward Jaiden Green andsophomore point guard RaavaiCommodore. Moore (6-3) andGreen (6-5) add key height.

The coach said the teamstrengths are balanced scor-ing, quickness, defense andchemistry, while rebounding isthe main preseason concern.

“This team has a great workethic and good chemistry,”Listerman said. “Because welack some experience, look fora slow start. But as we mature,we will get better as the seasongoes on. Look for us to be reck-oned with come tournamenttime.”

SHORT HOPS

CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind. -A season that began withheartache ended in heart-break for Thomas More’s foot-ball team.

The Saints’ perfect seasoncame to a stunning halt in awild finish that ended with Wa-bash’s defense racing into theend zone to score the game-winning touchdown in over-time for a 33-27 victory. No. 9Thomas More finishes the sea-son 11-1. It is the fourth time inprogram history the Saintshave won 11 games; they havenever won 12 in a season.

Thomas More led No. 7 Wa-bash 27-13 at halftime and 27-16 heading into the fourthquarter. The Little Giantscrept back into the game witha desperation touchdown passto their star running back on4th and 14, a spectacular catchby a converted backup quar-terback on the two point con-version, and their fourth fieldgoal of the game with 55 sec-onds left. Then, things gotweird.

The Saints controlled allthree phases of the gamethrough three quarters. Jen-sen Gebhardt passed for 121yards and a touchdown, but in-jured his knee late in the sec-ond quarter. Brenan Kuntzcame on in relief and promptlythrew a touchdown on his firstpass of the game. That scorecame after Goose Cohorn re-

turned a punt 80 yards for ascore.

After Wabash tied the gamewith under a minute to go,Kuntz was intercepted. It ap-peared to be a pick six, but thereturn was negated by a penal-ty. The Little Giants had theball back and all the momen-tum, then Johnny Lammers in-tercepted a pass. His long re-turn was also negated by pen-alty, but gave the Saints the fi-nal shot of regulation. Kuntzwas hit as he threw and unableto launch a Hail Mary. Thatwild sequence was just the be-ginning of the madness.

Wabash won the coin toss inovertime and elected to playdefense first. Kuntz wassacked on the fifth play of thedrive, and Wabash’s Ethan Bu-resh scooped the ball up and

raced 75 yards to the end zonefor the walk-off game-winner.

“That was an unbelievablegame to be a part of. Unfortu-nately we came up on the shortend,” said coach Regis Scafe.“I’m proud of our guys. Thatwas a great D-III footballgame.”

Ten minutes after that finalplay, both teams wandered thefield in bewilderment at theoutcome. The Saints seniorsremained on the field, stunnedand in tears.

“It was an honor to playwith these seniors. They’regreat guys and they’ll alwaysbe my brothers no matterwhat,” said junior defensivelineman Dustin Mitchell.

The defense forced sixturnovers and held Wabash toone touchdown in six red zone

opportunities. The Little Gi-ants came in averaging over 42points per game and were heldto 27 by the Saints defense.

“We talk about brotherhoodall year long. We just trust oneanother,” said Fuller. “We liketo go in there and play physi-cal. We trust one another thatwe’ll all do our jobs individual-ly and things are going to goour way.”

It was the kind of game inwhich everything seemed tobe going the Saints way untilthe final play. Wabash’s de-fense had not allowed morethan 18 points in a game all sea-son. Thomas More had 27 athalftime. But the Little Giantsdefense buckled down late,forcing six sacks and the deci-sive turnover.

The senior class finisheswith 35 wins and three PACchampionships including oneoutright title. They weatheredthe adversity of a coachingchange and death of a team-mate in the offseason. Despitethe gut punch of a defeat onSaturday, they have plenty ofreasons to hold their headshigh.

“We’ve got a great group ofseniors. I couldn’t have beenmore lucky or fortunate tocome into a group of guys likethis,” said Scafe. “They’re justgreat guys. These guys accept-ed me and provided leadershipand it’s been an unbelievablerun with them. I’m real proudof them and that’s what I toldthem on the field.”

The last of the toma-toes are gone, the leaveshave been raked, the yardand garden chores aredone, and it’s time towarm up in front of thefire, right?

Maybe, maybe not.One last thing should bedone now to save head-aches and frustrationnext year: it’s called gar-den sanitation.

If any of your plantswere diseased or doingpoorly before the end ofthe season, they may havebeen suffering from oneor more of our commonplant diseases. Did yourpeony leaves get blotchy,or turn brown too early?Did your tomato leaveshave spots, or did theplants stop bearing whenit was still warm? Did theleaves on your lilacs turnwhitish-gray? Did yourcrabapple fruits havespots or bumps on them?If so, they may have had

one of thecommonfungaldiseasesthat canbe par-tially pre-ventedby gar-den sani-tation.Gardensanita-

tion is garden hygiene.Good garden sanitation

practices include pickingup all diseased leaves andputting them in the trash,not the compost, so thatfungal spores they carrywill be removed. It alsomeans destroying debrisfrom any other less-than-healthy plants so the dis-eases that afflicted themwill not overwinter tobother next year’s garden.

Picking up fallen fruitsand seed pods, too, helpsremove insect eggs or co-coons that could hatch and

infest next year’s vegeta-bles and fruits. It’s also nottoo late to get rid of any re-maining weeds so thattheir seeds won’t grownext year. Normal,healthy leaves and plantdebris make great com-post; but if you suspectthey were buggy or dis-eased, throw them out.

What else can you do?Clean off your pruners,shovels, mower bladesand other garden toolswith a solution of 1 partbleach and 9 parts water.This will help kill bacteria,viruses and fungi that aresometimes spread fromplace to place as you gar-den. Garden sanitationwon’t fix everything, butit’s the ounce of preven-tion now that will save thepound of effort next year.

Happy gardening!Michele Stanton is a

Kenton County Extensionagent for horticulture.

Caregiving canbe stressful, andthese stresses canbe exacerbatedaround the holidaysas you are facedwith added respon-sibilities and obliga-tions.

Whether this isyour first holidayseason as a caregiv-er or you have beenproviding care foryears, you can do severalthings to make the holidayseasier on you, the personyou’re caring for and yourextended family andfriends by following therecommendations below.

1. Plan ahead. This in-cludes shopping for giftsand food for the holidaymeal(s) well in advance ofthe holiday. Doing so canminimize the chances youwill feel rushed or stressedas the holiday approaches.In addition, it may help youspread out your holidayspending over a couple ofmonths instead of just one.

2. Prepare your guests.This may be the first timeyour guests will see theirloved one since you becametheir caregiver, and youdon’t want your familymembers or the personyou’re caring for to be frus-

trated or embar-rassed by theirhealth situation.Remind yourguests of any phys-ical and mental lim-itations your lovedone may have.

Celebrate theholidays where theperson you are car-ing for resides.This can keep theirstress levels lower

as they don’t have to worryabout traveling or being inan unfamiliar environment.

3. Ask for help. Havesomeone run errands foryou, such as mailing Christ-mas cards or picking upitems from the grocerystore, or have them staywith your loved one so youcan do those tasks. Mostpeople are happy to help ifyou ask.

4. Take time for your-self. Take a break from ca-regiving and holiday plan-ning to do something thatyou really want to do. Sim-ple things such as taking awinter walk or enjoyingcoffee and a conversationwith a friend can help to im-prove your spirits.
