BRIEFLLY

TAYLOR MILL — Ma-jestic tree houses stretchfor the sky as noble woodspirits rest beside them insilence. A hummingbirdcollects nectar from aflower as a regal Santastands ready to deliverwishes.

Welcome to a meetingof the River Valley WoodCarvers where imagina-tion, chainsaws, detailingknives and a little elbowgrease transform formertrees into works of art.

The group meets 6-9p.m. the first and thirdMondays of each month atTaylor Mill United Meth-odist Church, 5160 TaylorMill Road, Taylor Mill.

Troy Baker, 38, of He-bron, has been a part ofthe club for a few years.Baker has been fiddlingwith wood since he was ayoung boy.

“My grandpa used tosit on his porch and whit-tle,” he said. “He’d give uskids a pocketknife andpiece of wood. He’d makeanimals and we’d just bemaking marks on sticks.But it was fun. Now, I lovecreating stuff from noth-ing. I get a big kick out ofseeing people’s faceslight up when they seewhat I’ve made, especial-ly the kids.”

Instead of pocket-knives, Baker’s tool ofchoice is a chainsaw.

His life-sized carvingsof Batman and Chewbac-ca, the big, hairy creaturefrom Star Wars fame,have won him accolades.His Batman won firstplace at the KentuckyState Fair this year.Chewbacca won secondplace in last year’s fair.

These and works ofother carvers will be ondisplay at the club’s freecarving show to be held 10a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday,Oct. 3, at the Scheben Li-brary, 88999 U.S. 42,Union. The carvers willgive demonstrations andhave their work on dis-play and for sale. Specialfeatures will includecarver Kathy Overcash, awhimsical cottonwoodbark carver and twochainsaw carvers, includ-ing Baker.

The mission of the Riv-er Valley Wood Carvers isto promote, teach andpractice the art of wood-carving and wood burn-ing. Club membership,which currently includesages 16 to 94, is open toanyone interested inwoodcarving or wood

burning. Founded in 1999,the club covers the areasof southern Ohio andNorthern Kentucky. Thegroup hosts seminars andoffers a mentoring pro-gram that pairs novicecarvers with those whohave advanced experi-ence.

“It’s a relaxing time,”River Valley presidentRex Sansfacon, Florence,said. “It’s nice to be with

other folks who share thesame interest. It’s a verygood club. It’s a learningclub and we just enjoyourselves.”

John Dotson, who trav-eled from Withamsville,Ohio, to sit with fellowcarvers this Mondaynight, patiently, but ag-gressively carves into apiece of wood whittling itinto an Indian bust.

“Carving becomes a

passion,” Dotson said.“It’s like a drug. When youare creating, you losetrack of time and every-thing around you.”

David Chadwick, 79, ofKenton County, said hetoo enjoys woodcarvingbecause he gets to make“my own creations.”

On a cool Septembernight Chadwick is gettingin the spirit of Christmas,working on an ornament.This night he delicatelycarves a snowman andwill end up making a doz-en more holiday orna-ments for Cincinnati Chil-dren’s Hospital MedicalCenter. The club donatesornaments to the hospitalfor kids to take homewhen they are released.

“My grandpa whittledand I remember him mak-ing things and givingthem to neighbor kids,”he said. “They’d be so ex-cited. That’s how I got intocarving. I rememberedhim doing that and decid-ed to join the club a fewyears ago. I seem to havea little talent for it. It allstarts from a blank pieceof wood and you cut awayand you can make some-thing of it. It’s so relaxingand satisfying.”

Debbie Ward, 57, ofFlorence, said she findscarving to be therapeutic.

“You just concentrateon what you’re doing andthe stress leaves you,”she said. “Making some-thing with your hands isalso so satisfying. I likecoming to the club andI’m looking forward tobettering my skills. Ev-erybody here is so friend-ly and helpful.”

Suzanne Millay, 55, ofCrestview Hills, stum-bled upon the carvingclub a few years ago whenshe read an article aboutit in a local newspaper.

“When I came I wasjust hooked,” she said.

Millay started carvingabout 18 years ago. Shehad a Christmas orna-ment that she dearlyloved, a Santa, but his armhad broken off.

“Not wanting to throwit away, I went to the back-yard and found a twig anddid my best to replicatethe other arm,” she said.“It turned out good and Ikept with carving. It wasa great way to expressmyself.”

Now Millay carves herown creations she calls“wood spirits,” noblefaces carved into treebark.

vey, a nationally recog-nized survey used tomeasure teacher en-gagement and support,instructional practices,leadership, communityengagement, studentconduct, facilities, andother factors.

“This is an importantaccomplishment for anyschool because it is an in-dicator that the students,staff, parents and com-munity are all success-ful and working togetherto nurture and challengestudents at high levels,”Erlanger-ElsmereSchools SuperintendentKathy Burkhardt said.

“It means that every-one is focused on doingtheir best and providingtheir best. To us, beingrecognized as a top 10school is one of many in-dicators that illustratethat Arnett Elementaryis completely focused onstudents’ needs, growthand success.”

Burkhardt said Ar-nett embraces and at-tends to the needs of allstudents while simulta-neously challengingthem at high levels.

“The laser-like focuson doing what is best forstudents starts with theprincipal and is authenti-

cally shared by the ded-icated staff at Arnett El-ementary,” she said.“The Arnett leadershipteam, teachers and sup-port staff have wonder-ful partnerships withmany devoted parentsand community mem-bers. We believe that thecollective impact ofthese levels of dedica-tion is what ultimatelyleads to student suc-cess.”

This is the third timeArnett Elementary hasbeen recognized by theTELL Survey; the schoolachieved HonorableMention status in 2012and 2013.

Supervisor of in-struction Matt Engelsaid the recognition is avalidation of the meth-ods Arnett has been us-ing. Engel, who’s beenwith the district for 17years, served as princi-pal of Arnett until lastJune. According to En-gel, Arnett is a specialplace.

“If you walk up anddown the halls youquickly realize that ev-ery adult here trulycares and takes owner-ship of the lives of thechildren we are serv-ing,” he said. “That’s thekind of commitment wejust expect here.”

He also said that thehard work doesn’t stopwith this recognition.

“This is a call toarms,” he said. “We’renot satisfied receivingthis recognition just oneyear. We’re alreadythinking of our nextchallenges. We will cele-brate, but we’re focusedon what’s next.”

Covington Latin School im-plements the final phase of its1:1 Chromebook Program.

Covington Latin School hasbeen working hard on its tech-nology plan and is excited aboutthe new educational opportuni-ties the students will have withimplementation of its new Chro-mebook program.

Adding technology to the Co-vington Latin curriculum hascome in three phases.

» Phase I included raisingthe money needed for equip-ping teachers with new laptopcomputers and docking stationsin all of the classrooms.

» Phase II involved upgrad-ing the technology infrastruc-ture of Covington Latin and de-ploying use of a Chromebook

cart. » This year the third and fi-

nal phase has been launched. Allstudents in grades 9-12 havetheir own Chromebook for indi-vidual and academic use, atschool and at home.

The teachers are already us-ing the Chromebook in a varietyof ways.

Senior Honors Englishteacher Sheila Gray has beenvery enthusiastic about the newtechnology in her classroom.She had her students create ablog on a variety of topics, in-cluding one on their experienc-es as they complete the collegeapplication and acceptanceprocess.

“One of my main goals forthis project is to provide the stu-

dents with an opportunity towrite in a format and about sub-jects that better match the stu-dents’ real life experiences,making writing a more relevantactivity,” Gray said. “In pursuitof these goals, I believe the stu-dents’ overall writing skills willnaturally improve.”

“We chose Chromebooks be-cause they are fast and lightmaking them easy to carry; theyare relatively inexpensive; theyhave 8-plus hours of battery lifeand they connect with Google’ssuite of applications which havebeen used by every student andstaff member of Covington Lat-in for several years.

“This is an exciting step for-ward,” Headmaster Mo Wolter-ing said.

Covington Latin takes technological step forward

As Donna Mader embroiders“Read to Me” onto a bib she hasmade, she hopes it will be an in-spiration to follow those words.

“I hope that it is a reminderand that it inspires young par-ents to read to their children,”Mader, of Alexandria, said.“Reading to a child makes a dif-ference in their lives. It givesthem an advantage when theystart school and it’s a wonderfulway for parent and child tobond.”

Mader is a member of DeltaKappa Gamma Zeta, the North-ern Kentucky chapter of an in-ternational women educators so-ciety. About 14 years ago thegroup started the Books andBibs program in which mem-bers of the society visit highschools throughout the region tospeak with teen parents on theimportance of reading to theirchildren. The members also do-

nate books for infants and youngchildren and handmade bibs tothe teen parents.

“Reading is a fundamentalskill for children and adultsmust begin reading to them at avery young age to develop theirlanguage skills,” said Zeta mem-ber Mary Rose Hoffman of Wal-ton. “Many young parents do notunderstand the value and impor-tance of reading out loud at sucha young age.”

In the past year the groupreached about 195 young par-ents.

Sherri Chan, Dayton HighSchool Family Resource coordi-nator, said she appreciates theprogram and that it has had agreat impact on the teen par-ents.

“This program really meansa lot,” she said. “The kids appre-ciate that there are people outthere who care and want to sup-port them,” she said. “A lot ofteen parents are not aware ofhow much their children can

gain w hen they read to them.This program empowers ourteen parents to instill a love forlearning.”

Joyce Hamberg, a professorat Thomas More College and for-mer assistant superintendent atKenton County Schools, hasbeen involved with the programsince it started.

“I’m really all about promot-ing literacy how ever I can,” shesaid. “The parent is the first andmost important teacher a childhas.”

Hoffman said the Zeta Chap-ter is proud of the Books andBibs Program.

“Over the last 14 years, thelives of many Northern Ken-tucky teen or young parents andtheir children have beentouched in a positive waythrough the hard work andteaching talents of our Zeta sis-ters,” she said.

Founded in 2004, Village LifeOutreach Project Inc. is an offi-cial nonprofit organizationbased out of Cincinnati whosemission is to unite communitiesto promote life, health and edu-cation.

Most of Village Life’s workfocuses on three remote and im-poverished villages in the Ro-rya district of Tanzania, EastAfrica.

One of the ways Village Life“unites communities” isthrough work in schools both inTanzania and in the Cincinnatiand Northern Kentucky area.Besides taking University ofCincinnati students and faculty

to Tanzania to work on variousprojects and learn more aboutglobal humanitarianism, Vil-lage Life has partnered withmore than 20 Cincinnati andNorthern Kentucky gradeschools and high schools to ex-pand horizons and engage youthin service-learning activities.

In July, six second-year med-ical students from UC traveledto Tanzania for a month to gethands-on medical experience.

The Simon Kenton HighSchool Men’s Soccer team do-nated soccer jerseys that theUC students took with them todistribute in local schools.

The jerseys were passed out

to students at the Katuru Sec-ondary School in Shirati Village,Tanzania. The students andteachers were very excited toreceive their new jerseys. Katu-ru Secondary School has a largesoccer field next to the schoolthat the kids regularly practiceon, but they rarely have moneyfor team jerseys.

The students were all quickto put on their new jerseys toshow them off.

Village Life thanks SimonKenton High School for the jer-sey donation and looks forwardto continuing its work of intro-ducing local students to their“neighbors” across the globe.

PUZZLE ANSWERS

OCTOBER 1, 2015 • COMMUNITY RECORDER • 7ANEWS

Being a presenter at MotherEarth News Fair is always funfor me. This year my presenta-tion was titled “A Garden ofSimples.”

Simples are herbs that areused for one, simple medicinal

quality, such asginger for gingertea to alleviatetummy upset, orlavender bathsalts for calmingand soothing andbasil face splashto cleanse andremove environ-mental toxins.

Let me knowif you want those

recipes. Check out myAbouteating.com site for pho-tos.

I noticed several trendstaking place at the far. Two ofthe biggest are growing garlicand making fermented prod-ucts. Heck, I chuckle when Ithink of those two. Some of ushave been doing that for years,like growing hard neck garlic(that’s the garlic that producesthose beautiful scapes), andmaking fermented foods likethat German standby: sauer-kraut, and a more trendy fer-mented product like kimchi.

Another trend is sproutingyour own salad toppings. Again,not new by any means. I’vebeen sprouting lentils, radishand bean seeds for a long time.They’re really easy and a goodone for the kids to help with.

Why sprouts are goodfor you

Lentils contain a bunch ofvitamins and minerals, includ-ing iron and magnesium (forpreventing those dreadedcramps in legs and feet).

Substitute for cornstarch(for Irene Robinson)

Arrowroot is my first

choice. It can be substitutedequally, 1-1.

Tapioca flour/starch. Use 2tablespoons for every 1 table-spoon.

Potato starch. Another 1-1sub, but tends to lump a bitwhen stirred in.

All purpose flour/riceflour. Use 3 tablespoons forevery 1 tablespoon.

Readers want to know -Black garlic: What is it?

A fermented product, be-lieve it or not, and it takesover a month in a special fer-menter. During that time, thegarlic turns black and healthqualities increase. Used inChinese and Thai food.

Lentil sprouts are reallyeasy to grow and a good one

for the kids to help with.

Good ideas from garden sprouting all over

Lentil sprouts

This is the method I use for sprouting any seeds, so feel free tobe creative here.

1/2 cup lentils2 cups water1 wide-mouth quart canning jar or other clear containerPiece of cheesecloth or coffee filterRubber band

Overcast and 68 degreesmight not be the sort ofweather most folks dreamabout, but it doesn’t get muchbetter for my favorite out-door fall activities.

All winter I hear myfriends complaining that theyare stuck inside because it istoo cold. When summer rollsaround those same friendscomplain that it is too hot tobe outside. In the spring theyare too busy. I’m sure there isan excuse for fall, but I’m notbuying it. Fall in Northern

Kentucky isperfect foroutdoor activ-ities, with itscrisp air, gor-geous canopyof fall foliageand thecrunch ofleaves un-derfoot.

An abun-dance of re-search has

shown that exercising out-doors greatly improves men-tal as well as physical health.Yet, Kentucky ranks 47th outof 50 states in overall health.That’s why Skyward, theengine and engineer behindNorthern Kentucky’s five-year community developmentplan, has identified wellnessas a key strategy for drivingeconomic growth and com-munity improvement.

This fall, Skyward will beworking with communityleaders to develop a programcalled LiveWell NKY. Live-Well is designed to engageschools, churches, local gov-ernments and work sites tohelp improve the climate thatallows for healthy choices tobe easy choices. LiveWell willsupport efforts to create aculture of good health wherewe live, work and play. It willfacilitate changes in exerciseand physical activity, healthyeating, and use/exposure totobacco. LiveWell representscore public health work, and

the Northern KentuckyHealth Department is excitedto be one of the partnerslaunching such a campaign inour region.

Want to start to LiveWellthis fall? Consider some ofthese activities: explore thegardens at Central Park, takea bike ride along the LickingRiver Greenway Trail, join anearly morning outdoor bootcamp exercise class, or plan afamily day at one of the fallfestivals in the area.

My family will be visitinglocal farmers’ markets forfresh local vegetables to usein home-cooked dinners. Wewon’t look at raking leaves asa dreaded chore, but ratheran opportunity for active fun,allowing the adults to burncalories making the piles andthe kids to be active runningand jumping in those piles –and perhaps a few more calo-ries burned as the adultsre-rake after the fun hasended. It doesn’t have to feellike exercise to be a greatworkout.

So, don’t let these beautiful68 degree fall days pass bywithout utilizing them toenergize your commitment toyour health. Set the excusesaside. This is a great time ofyear to get out, get movingand get fit.

October is Breast CancerAwareness Month. Which isgreat – don’t get me wrong.

But the reality is, you have tohave awareness year round.Breast cancer does not just hit inOctober. You should be proac-tive on a daily basis.

I know this firsthand. I am abreast cancer survivor. I havehad two mastectomies, eightrounds of chemotherapy and

lost my hair.I had a clean

mammogramin December2000. Fivemonths later,while moving

into a new house, I brushed upagainst a box and noticed my leftbreast was sore and tender.When it was time appropriate, Idid a self-exam and felt a lumpthat was unusual. My body wastelling me something was notright.

I saw my doctor. I wentthrough a diagnostic procedure.Three days later, on Aug. 6, 2001,Ihad surgery and was diagnosedwith breast cancer.

Now I talk publicly as often asI can to help educate our com-munity. I speak to schools,church groups and businesses. Iam grateful to work as a wom-en’s product consultant at St.Elizabeth Edgewood where Ihelp patients in a variety ofways. I counsel patients andfamilies as much as I can, shar-ing my experiences and provid-ing a shoulder to lean on if neces-sary. I want so much to help pro-vide comfort just as people didfor me.

I regularly hand out my cell-phone number so people can callme 24/7. I meet with patients andfamily members whenever andwherever they would like. I oncewent to a home that had multiplecats. I am allergic. And so, in themiddle of winter, we sat togeth-er in a car with the motor run-ning and the heat on so I could

listen to a husband and wifeshare their anxieties.

St. Elizabeth will have its mo-bile mammography van out andabout at least 12 times thismonth. But listen, even if youdon’t have an appointment orseek out the mobile mammo vanthis month, make an appoint-ment for anytime in the next fewmonths. Make that promise toyourself and keep it.

In the meantime, here arethree tips from someone whohas been through it:

1. Get acclimated with yourbody. Conduct regular self-ex-ams to set a baseline. You have toknow your body to know when itchanges. If I had not done that, Idon’t know if I would be here to-day.

2. Know your risk factors.Find out your family history. It’simportant information to have. Iknew that my maternal grand-mother died of breast cancerand that her oldest daughter (myaunt) had elective mastecto-mies.

3. Develop a dialogue withthe women in your life who aremost important to you. Ask themif they’ve had a mammogramlately and whether they do self-exams. I know it’s awkward atfirst but it will become less soover time. Turn it into a humor-ous exchange; whatever it takesto have the conversation.

That dialogue is a stepping-stone. You can’t cross the finishline until you take the first babysteps.

Halloran, a Highland Heightsresident, is a women’s productconsultant at St. Elizabeth Edge-wood and in 2006 foundedChicks and Chucks, a nonprofitresource for breast cancer pa-tients in need of financial andemotional support. Halloran hashelped raise roughly $450,000 forher foundation and the Ameri-can Cancer Society combined.She was honored as an EnquirerWoman of the Year in 2009.

KENTON COUNTY — Hiscoach is surprised he hasn’tdrawn more interest from col-lege soccer programs, but An-dres Rivera is focused on winsfor his high school team at Dix-ie Heights.

Rivera scored his team-high12th goal Sept. 24, to help theColonels to a 3-2 win over rivalSimon Kenton.

“Everybody has a lot offun,” Rivera said. “We want toimprove on our focus on thegame and get more united as ateam.”

Rivera posted 20 goals lastseason and 13 in his sophomoreseason.

“Andres is a huge part of theteam,” said head coach JeffScroggin. “We would be lostsometimes without him. Hecan create and make thingshappen. He gets those creativegoals. We’ll miss him next year,for sure.”

Rivera scored Dixie’s sec-ond goal of the game, and soph-omore Joel Lian gave Dixie a3-1 lead on a long-range shot.Senior Austin Stacy made it 1-0in the first half. He has sevengoals and nine assists for theseason.

“We can still improve,” Sta-cy said. “We can still becomemore of a team and string to-gether more passes, but fromthe tournament we just com-peted in in Ashland, that’s real-ly brought us together. That’s

been a big plus for us everyyear. Hopefully we can pushfor a big run at the end of theseason.”

Dixie is 7-4-3 and is the sec-ond seed in the 34th District be-hind St. Henry. Villa Madonnais the third seed. Senior SeanEubanks has five goals. SimonJaeger, a senior keeper, hasshone in his first season in theposition.

“We trained him to be a goal-ie last year because we didn’thave one for this year,” Scrog-gin said. “He’s been a big partof it back there keeping us ingames. He’s made some greatathletic saves.”

Senior Logan Freudenbergand junior Bryce O’Harascored for SK, who is 8-10 andthe top seed in the 32nd Dis-trict. Junior Blake Chadwickand sophomore Will Leanharthad the assists.

O’Hara has 10 goals and sixassists for the year. Chadwickhas seven goals.

“It was two solid teams go-ing at each other,” Scrogginsaid. “The competition waspretty equal both ways so itmade for a good game. We al-ways have a good game withthose guys. It’s fun.”

SK hosts Holy Cross Oct. 6and Highlands Oct. 10. Dixiewill play at Covington CatholicSaturday, Oct. 3, at 3 p.m. andhost Walton-Verona Oct. 6. TheDixie seniors hope to have anenjoyable end to their season.

Rivera shines inDixie soccer’s winover PioneersJames [email protected]

JAMES WEBER/THE COMMUNITY RECORDER

Dixie Heights senior Andres Rivera shoots past two Simon Kentondefenders.

Friday night’s clash of twoproud programs each seekingtheir first win of the seasonbrought some sloppy but spirit-ed play as both teams had a mix-ture of great plays, turnoversand missed opportunities.

Dixie Heights made its op-portunities matter most, rally-ing late to beat Boone County 35-21 at Dixie’s Rice Mountjoy Sta-dium. Dixie is now 1-4, and theRebels dropped to 0-6.

“It feels great,” said EthanSchulte, a Dixie senior. “It was ateam effort. We’ve been workingfor this all year and it’s great tofinally come out with one.”

The Colonels set many mile-stones last year as they wereClass 6A state runner-ups buthad to adjust to massive gradua-tion losses from last year, includ-ing their entire starting offense.The game marked Dixie’s firstwin on its home field since beat-ing Ballard in last year’s statesemifinals.

Senior Noah Caple gave theColonels the winning points, in-tercepting a pass and bringingback 29 yards for a TD with 3:21to play. That broke a 21-all tie.

“Up front we did what weneeded,” Caple said. “Our d-linedid great, our DB’s coveredthem. He threw a bad pass and Iwas right where I needed to be atthe right time. The blocking wasgood on my way down. They didall the work.”

Schulte clinched the game byintercepting a pass, his secondand the Colonels’ fourth of thegame. He returned it inside the10, and Keegan Barmore scoredthe clinching TD.

Schulte was all over the placefor Dixie, gaining 46 yards onthree receptions, making 3.5tackles on defense and going 5-for-5 on extra points.

“It’s been an adventure, a lotof ups and downs,” Schulte said.“We’ve been in a lot of low placestogether and high places togeth-er. We’re really bonding as afamily and we’re fighting foreach other.”

With the score 14-7, the Colo-nels scored after a 34-yard passfrom Faeth to a wide-openSchulte, who leaped to get theball and couldn’t stay on his feet,falling at the Rebel 5. Faethscored on fourth down from the1-yard line with 11 seconds to goin the half, and Schulte’s PAT

made it 21-7 at the half.“It’s huge because they were

getting the ball out of halftime sowe knew we had to go down andscore the ball,” Schulte said. “Itgave us a boost going into half-time.”

Leading 7-0, Dixie’s ZacharyBorchers intercepted a tippedpass at the Rebels’ 20 and re-turned it to the 5. Barmore fin-ished the drive from a yard awayon the final play of the quarter,and the PAT made it 14-0. TheColonels had 179 yards offenseto 283 for Boone. Barmore ledDixie in rushing with 52 yards on11 tries, and Jose Torres 48 on 22attempts.

With district play yet to com-mence, the Colonels are focus-ing on peaking at the end of theseason.

“It’s exciting and every-thing,” Caple said. “This win isreally sweet. It’s one of thesweeter wins that we’ve hadsince I’ve been here. We im-prove each week and it shows.From the first week to the fifthweek, we’ve improved eachweek and that’s all that matters.”

In the first meeting betweenthe two schools since 1998, Si-mon Kenton scored 42 unan-swered points on the way to a42-3 rout of Highlands at home.

Simon Kenton built up a 28-3halftime lead as the Pioneers in-tercepted three of Highlands’quarterback Austin Hergott’sfirst half passes, and six total for

the game. Junior cornerbackTrent Kincaid, who led NorthernKentucky last year with eight in-terceptions, had three, and ju-nior Casey Mitchell added two.

With the win, the Pioneersmoved their all-time recordagainst the Bluebirds to just 2-25. Their only other win came in1974. Members from that 1974team were on the field for thecoin toss, and celebrated in thelocker room with the Pioneersimmediately following the win.

Dave Meenach, a runningback and outside linebacker onthe ‘74 team, said they’re reallyproud of this team. “Forty-oneyears ago, we beat Highlands10-7 and it hasn’t been done sinceby Simon Kenton, so we wereproud to see another team do it.This team has a lot of potential.”

Senior running back DillonPowell added four rushingtouchdowns and reached 1,000total yards for the season by tal-lying 189 yards on 22 carries.The Pioneers outrushed theBluebirds 250-129.

Mitchell picked off Hergotton the ensuing possession andreturned it to the Pioneers’ 44.Powell then had a 21-yard run tomove into Highlands’ territory,and eventually scored from fouryards out.

Kincaid’s first interception ofthe game ended a promisingnine-play Highlands drive in-

Villa girls earn championship

Coming off highschool careers wherethey helped pave the wayfor history at some ofNorthern Kentucky’s topprograms, several rivalsare working together tomake history at the col-lege level.

The Union College vol-leyball team is 13-3through Sept. 25, and un-defeated (7-0) in the Ap-palachian Athletic Con-ference after a big 3-2win over Bryan (Tenn.) ina battle for first place.

Among those leadingthe way is junior Julia Ed-monds, a graduate of

CooperHighSchool.

“I feelthis yearwe have areallystrongteam,” Ed-mondssaid. “We

have a lot of returners butwe’re still pretty young. Ifeel we’ve become reallystrong and we’ve im-proved a lot.”

Union, located in Bar-bourville, Ky., in thesoutheastern quadrant ofthe commonwealth, hasbenefited from the skillof Edmonds, who isfourth on the team in killsand leading the Bulldogsin blocks with 41. She wasrecently named AAC At-tacker of the Week aftercollecting 18 total kills in

a pair of wins. “My favorite thing is

the fact we’re like a fam-ily,” she said. “Any timeanyone has a problem wehelp out and lend a hand.Schoolwork, family, weall support each other.”

Edmonds had 352 totalkills her firsts two sea-sons and was on the all-conference freshmanteam two years ago.

“She came in the sametime I did,” said headcoach Jeremy Wise.“She’s developed a lot ev-ery year and we’ve chal-lenged her. She’s done ev-erything we asked her todo. She’s stepped into aleadership role and be-come the captain of ourjunior class.”

The starting setter isChandler Gray, a seniorwho had 594 assists lastseason. She averagesnearly five assists per setthis season. A CampbellCounty High School grad-uate, Gray was an all-freshman pick threeyears ago and is a two-time academic all-confer-ence pick. Younger sisterCarson Gray has joinedher on the Union roster,and has played about halfthe sets in her first yearon the team.

“It’s nice for them toplay together here andtheir family is enjoyingit,” Wise said. “They’reboth cut out of the samemold, they’re great lead-ers and great setters.They’re great competi-tors. They love to win andthey love pushing their

teammates to the nextlevel. After Chandlerleaves, Carson will prob-ably step up into the samerole.”

Chandler Gray had aseason-high 25 assists inthe five-set win over Bry-an.

“I love playing withthem,” Edmonds said. “Ilove having her as a set-ter. It was weird at firstand now we get to play to-gether I wouldn’t have itany other way.”

Summer Manning, asenior, played at ScottHigh School, which wonthree district titles whenshe was there and hassince won the 10th Regiontitle the past two seasons,reaching the state semislast year. Manning hasplayed every set for theBulldogs this season andis second on the team indigs.

Sophomore Jenna Nel-son, from Boone CountyHigh School, started sev-en matches last year andhas played in about halfthe sets this season.

Carson Gray played ona10th Region title team in2012. The Jaguars havehad a lot of success in re-cent years after openingin 2007.

“We won the CakeClassic as a sophomore,”Edmonds said. “It was thefirst tournament Cooperever won. I had a lot ofhelp to help develop myskills.”

Despite outgaining Co-lumbus St. Francis De-Sales 276-148 in totalyards, Covington Catho-lic was defeated handily,28-7 Sept. 26. The Colonelsturned the ball over fivetimes in the game, includ-ing four of their first sixpossessions which led to a21-0 deficit at halftime.

CovCath had fivedrives consisting of over10 plays, but was only able

to punch it in the endzoneonce. Those other drivesended with two turnoverson downs, an interception,and a punt. The Colonelsgained 18 first downs com-pared to DeSales’ eight,and possessed the ball fornearly 10 minutes longerthan the Stallions. Howev-er, DeSales’ 5-1 advantagein the turnover columnwas the difference.

“We did some goodthings, but we just madeway too many mistakes,”CovCath head coach EddieEviston said. “We kind oftook a couple of stepsbackward in executionfrom what we’ve done thelast game and a half. Wedidn’t make plays thatwe’re used to making.”

The Colonels’ defensekept them in the game, andgave the team a chance tomake a comeback late.

After CovCath sopho-more quarterback AJMayer scored the team’sonly touchdown on a 1-yard plunge less than aminute into the fourthquarter to make the score21-7, the defense quicklyforced a DeSales’ punt.

However, the Colonelsturned it over on downs af-ter attempting a fake puntat their own 38. That’swhen DeSales junior quar-terback Dylan Todd putthe game away with a 30-yard bootleg touchdownrun on 4th-and-2.

“The defense playedgreat,” Eviston said.“They’re playing from be-hind. The offense gave twoscores away and then weput them in a bad positionright before the half. Oth-er than that, they playedpretty good football. Itmight have been a differ-ent story if those guysdon’t score right off thebat.”

“That’s just the natureof a young team being in-consistent, learning howto mentally focus eachplay and each game. That’swhat we have to fix, themental aspect of our foot-ball team.”

Mayer completed 24-of-47 passes for 205 yards.Ryan McGinness had sev-en catches for 63 yardsand Ian Summe six for 71.

Fall is known for itsabundance of great, freshfoods, and apples areamong the most popular.You can prepare apples inmany different ways andinclude them as ingredi-ents in main courses, sidedishes and desserts.

Not only are applesgreat additions to anymeal, but they are alsopacked full of nutrients.They are low in calories,fat and sodium, cholester-ol free and a great sourceof fiber. Apples also con-tain phytochemicals thatmay help prevent manychronic diseases includ-ing cancer, heart disease,asthma and diabetes.

The United States ishome to more than 2,500varieties of apples. Sever-al of those are grown inKentucky, including RedDelicious, Rome, Wine-sap, Gala, Jonathan, Cort-land and Golden Deli-cious. You can get Ken-tucky-grown apples atorchards, farmers mar-kets and some grocerystores. Look for the Ken-tucky Department ofAgriculture’s “KentuckyProud” label.

When selecting apples,look for firm, crisp andcolorful fruit. Avoid ap-ples with shriveled skins,bruises, worm holes ordecayed spots. Appleslast longer in your refrig-erator, either in the crisp-er drawer or in an un-sealed plastic bag.

You can leave applesout on the counter for afew days, but an exten-sive period of time atroom temperature willcause apples to shriveland lose flavor and crisp-ness. Store apples sep-arately from vegetables,because apples naturallyrelease small amounts ofethylene gas that candamage lettuce and otherproduce.

I willbe teach-ing aprogramon “Ap-ples” atthe Er-langerbranch ofthe Ken-ton Coun-ty Li-brary at

7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 7.Call the library to regis-ter at 859-962-4000
