  1. Mr. Seaver was principle when I attended BCHS. He brooked no nonsense. He held everyone accountable, both the students and the teachers. Myself and some friends ran into him maybe 10 years later when the "Star of Cincinnati" was running on a dinner cruise. My first reflex was to hide the beer I was holding.
  2. What has been quoted is partly incorrect. There is NO plan that allows hiring of illegals. There are 2 plans that allow for getting work visas for people from Mexico legally, H-2 (construction, landscape, etc) and H-2A for farm work. There are lots of hoops to jump through but one is you MUST advertise in your local paper for two weeks and you must hire any US citizen before you are allowed to apply for visas for migrant workers. H-2A has become the major source of labor for farm work in KY.
  3. Need to check out the Midway Café in Ft Thomas. New owners took over last summer and they have the best wings I have ever had.
  4. There was also the Bracken/Robertson (Deming) plan around 1986. New high school was to be built in Powersville.
  5. Wow!! Good for Patrick. "GG" and I will have to drive up the road to watch a few games.
  6. By taking the job "12 miles to the south" :lol2:. Mr. Grimes, while you may follow 10th region sports closely, you may not be well versed in Augusta/Bracken Co history. While both schools will support each other, all that goes to the wayside when going head to head.
  7. I remember when the the LaRosa's building was Burger Chef. :lol2: I would say at least a remodel is overdue. The wife and I tried Pepperoncini's in January. We thought it was very good.
  8. Yes - flat bill. They Are connected to Fleming-Mason RECC, but you DO NOT have to have any connected service to use them. They just sell broadband.
  9. I believe you are in the Bracken/Mason area? Try Altius Broadband out of Flemingsburg. They have repeaters on most Bracken & Robertson water towers. If you are "in a holler" it might not work, but we have used them for years and have had good service. I believe our bill is $37/month.
  10. Will vote on my way home from work. Robertson County has a full slate of canidates for most every postion (Judge-exec, Sherriff, Co Clerk, Jailer) plus the state wide races. On a side note, this is only if you are registered Democrat. No Republican races except for US Senate. A topic for another thread might be why in certain counties if you want to vote for local canidates, you have to belong to a certain party. Examples would be Robertson, Bracken, & Mason are Democrat while Lewis is Republican. The races are settled in the primary.
  11. We went about a month ago. I got the ribs. There was not enough meat on them for a child's portion, let alone a 250 lb man :lol2: Wife's potato was cold and our server was way more interested in the table next to us then serving us. Needless to say, we won't go back.
  12. There was a lot of talk earlier this year about the new school as an elementary and the high school move to Mason Co. Haven't heard anything lately. But with both Mason & Fleming along with Robertson being overseen by the Dept of Ed, its hard to say what is going to happen.
  13. One reason - HIGH SCHOOL girl's basketball. Just look at Bracken's team this year - 8 seniors - also a highly touted group. They beat Montgomery during the season, crush Mason Co in the district final only to fall flat to the same Montgomery team they just played. I was in a discussion at the start of the season and the concensus was that a team loaded with frosh -soph players rather than seniors seemed to always be a little more focused at the end of the season. College, jobs, and relationships intrude on most players as they get close to graduation. Just a thought.
