FLORENCE — SusanSchultz isn’t sure what’snext for Yesterday’s Cafeand Tea Room, but she’scertain it will be good.

After 11 years on at 264Main St., Schultz was giv-en 30 days notice to vacatethe property.

Still, she is peaceful. “It has been 11 wonder-

ful years here,” she said.“This business is amaz-ing. My customers areawesome. I wouldn’t havechanged anything. Thishistoric building, what wehave done. There are noregrets here.”

Schultz characterizedthe eviction as “a privatematter between tenantand landlord.”

Calls to property own-er Roger Berger at Berg-er Properties in Cincin-nati were not returned.

Nothing has changed inthe neighboring business-es, also owned by BergerProperties.

“No one has asked us tomove. We’re still here,”said Pam Davis, whosehusband, Steve, hasowned Herbs and More at266 Main St. for 18 years.“Of course we’re upset.They’ve been there for 11years. It’s sad to see an-other business beingasked to leave.”

Lawrence McCord,president of On TimeMedia at 264B Main St.,said he’s been there formore than four years, andthe advertising agencyhas been a Boone Countybusiness for 16 years.

“We are planning tostay,” he said. “We hopethat other businesses willcontinue to invest in MainStreet.”

“It’s a shame,” saidFlorence Mayor DianeWhalen. “We have beenproviding her with infor-mation on potential newlocations. We will do ev-erything we can to helpher in her search for anew location. Absolutely.”

Schultz expects to re-open at a new location, butdoesn’t know yet when or

where that will be. “Our last day in the

cafe is June 25,” she said.“We have to pack up, getmoving and put things instorage, then we can talkabout where we are head-ed.”

The online store,bit.ly/1B8BMtj, will stayopen.

Schultz has promisedweekly updates on Face-book, where she first post-ed news of the upcomingmove.

Within an hour, she had36,000 impressions, 600shares and more than1,000 comments and likes.

“People feel connectedto this business,” she said.“It’s not just about thisbusiness. It’s about thecommunity. They’re out-raged and upset, but whenyou separate the emotion,you realize that people arevery passionate about mybusiness. They’re emo-

tional and loyal.”Several commenters

suggested places to relo-cate, others simplymourned the loss of a cozyneighborhood gatheringplace.

Many talked about theevents hosted at Yester-day’s.

“We had my daughter’sbridal shower there May24,” wrote Charlene Tip-ton of Hebron. “It waslovely and food and teawas fantastic. The servicewas great and the ownerwas so nice and helpful.”

Schultz is also trying tofind a new home for someof the store’s larger fix-tures via the Facebookpage as well.

“Some of these histori-cal pieces, antiques, wejust have to find some-where for them to go,” shesaid. “My business modelis unique to this location,to the historic building.

Where we will go will de-termine what the newbusiness model will be.”

Until she finds a newlocation, Schultz intendsto share her tea educationat fairs and festivals.

“We already know goodthings are going to hap-pen,” she said. “I was real-ly surprised. I wasshocked and saddened. Iwish it would haveworked out differently.I’m disappointed, but I un-derstand it. Whateverbusiness moves into thisspace, I bless them. It willbe another small businessand I hope they areblessed and the communi-ty supports them.”

FLORENCE —

Although FriendlyMarket has beenopen for almost twoyears, Allison Hinesof Butcher Betties

doesn’t think enough peopleknow about it yet.

Nestled behind a shoppingcenter off Sam Neace and Mt.Zion roads, adjacent to theKroger, the Friendly Marketcombines the freshest flavors,the highest quality locallygrown products and countrycharm.

Hines, a petite powerhousewith a vintage vibe, saidFriendly Market shouldn’t betoo hard to find later this yearwhen Northern Kentucky Uni-versity’s art department willpaint a mural of fruits andvegetables on the tan metalbuilding’s exterior.

“We’ll be a culinary destina-tion. That’s what we want,” shesaid. “People will see us fromthe highway. They’ll be able tosee it from airplanes. ... Oncethey know we’re here, they’llbe back.”

The Boone County marketon Norbotten Avenue has anoutdoor farmers market aswell as nine indoor tenants:Afishionados, Butcher Betties,Butcher Betties KentuckyProud General Store, The Colo-nel’s Creamery, Colonel De’sGourmet Herbs and Spices,The Flying Olive~Bluegrass,Smokin This and That BBQand Unbridled Spirit liquorstore.

Hines started her pinup-inspired butcher shop lastyear, and now also managesButcher Betties KentuckyProud General Store.

On one side of the market’scenter aisle stands Hines’whole animal butchery shop,

where she offers a variety ofmeats as well as locally pro-duced cheeses. On the otherside sits the Kentucky Proudshop, which features soaps,jellies, jewelry and other Ken-tucky artisan products and giftbaskets.

With her Victory rolled hairand red-lipped smile, Hinestalks about Ed-Mar Dairy’scheese and offers a taste.

“Every one of us has sam-ples,” she said. “We know ourfood can be a little more ex-pensive than in the supermar-ket, but it’s locally grown andsustainably raised. People areinterested in being more con-nected to their food.”

Vintage Fair has eclectichandmade items

Hines oversees the market’sVintage Fair every month,which features a variety ofeclectic handmade items andantiques.

Her fascination with historyis visible in her meat case.

“We have ‘city chicken,’something not a lot of peopleknow about anymore,” Hinessaid. “A long time ago, chickenwas a luxury. They might killone chicken a week for Sundaydinner. You couldn’t just go tothe store and buy chicken, sosome butchers would skewercubed pork and call it ‘citychicken.’”

A meat supplier found avintage “city chicken” moldfor her to use.

“I like bringing back thingsfrom the old days,” she said.“People can come in here and

see things they haven’t seen ina long time.”

Hines has made sure themarket is connected to thecommunity, too. Especially themilitary community. As a U.S.Navy veteran, and the fourthgeneration of women in herfamily to have served, Hines isprocuring four special parkingspaces for military members.Two for Purple Heart honor-ees, one for any veteran andone for a Blue or Gold StarMother.

Col. Don Lambert is one ofthe market’s original tenants atThe Colonel’s Creamery.

Although the outdoor mar-ket is open May through Octo-ber, the indoor market is openseven days a week, year-round.Approximately half are openon Mondays, but Lambert’spremium ice cream is acces-sible every day.

‘People care more aboutfood than they used to’

“A lot of people value thebenefit of having better qualityfoods,” he said. “I think thetime is right because there’s atrend for knowing what ingre-dients are in your food. Peoplecare more about it than theyused to.”

Lambert said many of themarket businesses collaboratetogether. He said he turned toColonel De for spices when hewas creating the Colonel’sDarn Hot Brown, a flavor simi-lar to the famous Cincinnati-style chili.

“We each really care aboutevery one of our products, andwe help each other,” he said.“These are specialty artisanproducts.”

Lambert has served more

than 90 original flavors sincehe opened, and his case of 16different ice creams is con-stantly changing. Many aremade from market produce.

“I use Kentucky berries,fruits, pumpkins,” he said.“Persimmon ice cream, honeyand lavender, raspberry mo-cha. There’s always a variety.”

The Colonel also servesunusual flavors such as maplebacon, spiced rum raisin, cher-ry pomegranate habanero andpopcorn.

“There’s always somethingdifferent to try,” Lambert said.

Afishionados hooked onidea of a little shop

John LaFontaine of Afishio-nados fish market obviouslykeeps things fresh as well.

After many years in therestaurant business, LaFon-taine got hooked on the idea ofa little shop with less overheadand fewer employees.

“This area needed a placelike this,” he said. “There wasnothing like this anywherenear here, only in Findlay Mar-ket.”

Afishionados has fish, mus-sels, sea scallops and salmonflown in every other day fromMaine, California, Scotlandand other places.

LaFontaine also preparessoups, spreads and specialtieslike lobster ravioli and lobstermac and cheese. The shopfeatures some frozen shrimp,crab legs and some types offish.

“We all work together inhere,” he said. “If I need sau-sage for gumbo, I get it fromAllison. We all use Colonel De’sspices. It’s a good little com-munity in here and we can allbenefit the rest of the commu-nity.”

Today really was a sim-ple country pleasureskind of day.

Son Shane brought histhree girls over and I tookthe two oldest ones, Eva,7, and Emerson, almost 3,

for a walkdown to theEast ForkRiver. Thegirlscaughtcrawdads,tiny fishandscooped uplots ofshells andother trea-

sures from the shallowwater.

I didn’t realize so muchtime had passed by untilShane came walkingdown with baby Ellery inhis arms. “Time for Emer-son’s nap,” he said.

So we went back to thehouse and even thoughShane didn’t stay forlunch I did have all themakings ready for thissimple pizza. I was alsogoing to photograph thegirls making the pizza forthis column. But sincethat didn’t happen, I’llshare a photo of the rea-son why: two little girlsenjoying, as I said, “sim-ple country pleasures.”

The little ones will love making this. Good evenwith just cheese.

1 can flaky biscuits, 10 ouncesPizza sauceMozzarellaOptional toppings: pepperoni, chopped bell

peppers, mushrooms, onions, etc.

Preheat oven to 400. Separate dough into 10biscuits. Place 1 biscuit in center of cookie sheet linedwith foil and sprayed. Arrange remaining biscuits incircle, edges slightly overlapping, around centerbiscuit. Gently press with your hand into a 10-inchcircle. This makes your sunflower. Spread a thin layerof sauce on top. Sprinkle with your choice of top-pings. End with topping of mozzarella. Bake 12-15minutes. To serve, pull apart.

Mediterranean chicken with orange marmalade sauceLately I’ve been using thighs for this recipe. I promised this recipe to a young man

whose name I don’t remember. He stopped to chat with me at the store. Funny that I can’tremember his name but do remember very clearly what he wanted, so here it is: A reallygood-tasting, fairly easy, main dish for chicken.

4-6 boneless skinless breast halves or thighsSalt, pepper, flourOlive oil3/4 to 1 cup white wine3 tablespoons lemon juice1 heaping teaspoon minced garlic or more1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes or more1/4 cup thawed undiluted orange juiceUp to 1-1/2 cups orange marmalade

Salt and pepper chicken, dredge in flour. Saute in oil, browning well on both sides.Keep warm. Pour wine in pan and cook, stirring to bring brown bits up. Add lemon juice,garlic, red pepper and half of the orange juice. Bring to boil and cook about 3 minutes.Stir in 1 cup marmalade and rest of orange juice.

Taste and add more marmalade if desired. Serve on bed of rice or couscous withsauce poured over chicken.

Some might say that it’s ahorrible job for a high schoolstudent. But I love it.

Farming is not a luxuriousor comfortable job, and youalways have to be ready for aletdown. Although on thebright side, when everythinggoes smoothly and you turnout a bumper crop, farmingis the most satisfying job onearth.

Good or bad, farming is agamble with uncontrollablevariables like weather, econo-my and mechanical failures.When you feel like you areplaying against loaded dice,and the odds are against you,the best thing you can do iskeep working smart and hope

for a betteryears to fol-low.

Many ofmy fellowhigh schoolclassmateswould bediscouragedby the hur-dles of farm-ing, but thereare stillmany of us

who prefer this job to theconveniences of workingbehind a counter in an air-conditioned retail shop.

Why would we prefer thisjob?

There are many reasonsthat test our skills, endur-ance, strength and problem-solving ability. We are out-side people who find it re-

warding working with ourhands and our minds, whileconnecting with others whoshare similar goals. In theretail position, a pay raise isvery rewarding, but in farm-ing our pay raises come ashealthy baby calves, lesscompetitive weeds, smoothoperating equipment, and afair price for crops.

So even though farming isa gamble financially, to quotethe FFA Creed, “I know thejoys and discomforts of agri-cultural life, and hold aninborn fondness for thoseassociations which, even inhours of discouragement, Icannot deny.”

Gene Wagner, a sophomore atConner High School, is a farmerand (probably) gets up earlier thanyou do.

Last week’s question:What should Cincinnati city

leaders and residents do to curtailthe recent trends of gun-relatedcrimes in the city?

“If you want a gun have topass a background and IQ test.It will sift through criminalsand stupid people. Combo!”

Brockman Heather

“Criminals get guns withoutfollowing the current back-ground checks that have to bedone now.”

James Bartley

“Stricter punishment . Nobail allowed with gun crimes.”

Karen Swanson Dietz

“Stiffer gun-related laws,etc.! More jail time! If you takea life and found guilty of doingso you should get the death pen-alty with no wait time, should becarried out right after court.”

Dorothy Crank Pettit

“They need more safety pa-trols and people need to be will-ing to help.”

John Scales

“Programs, church and po-lice. You could call it PCP. Thenmaybe people would try it. Pro-grams to teach young peoplehow to succeed in American so-ciety. Use three hours of theschool day in those areas toteach things that their parentswon’t, like building retirementsand how to interview for jobs.Job placement programs thathelp young people find ca-reers.”

Bethany Pancerzewski Spence

“Build a 25-foot concretewall with razor wire at the top.Remove all children then floodthe area with heroin, alcoholand more guns .”

Mike Fryman

“People need to pray! OnlyGod can fix this!”

Anna Merlo

“What can they do? It is up toevery individual to make a deci-sion to do crimes ... nothing canbe done. Police are not aroundwhen the crime is committed.The suspect knows that.”

Carl Wilhelmy

“Make the city limits smallerand have surrounding citiestake care of some of this crap.More Neighborhood Watchgroups. We all have seen first-hand what the mother did to herson in Baltimore on national TV.Stiffer penalties, send them allto hard labor work camps orjust cane them like they do inother countries.”

With 120, the common-wealth of Kentucky holds thedistinction of having the thirdmost counties of any state inthe nation. While this some-times can be a blessing for ourpopulace, as most would agreethat government closer to thepeople governs best, at times itcan be a bit of a stumblingblock as we can tend to beterritorial and put blinders onrefusing to see the overallbenefits of large-scale pro-jects.

We in Northern Kentuckyhave long been able to workthrough some of these issuesby blurring county lines andtaking a more regional per-spective. These partnershipshave resulted in our areaworking together in such vitalareas as infrastructure, educa-tion, health care and tourism.Much of the success in North-ern Kentucky has been the

result of ourleaders, bothcivic and gov-ernmental,having theability to setaside artificialboundariesand truly worktogether as ateam.

To that end,in 1989 the

Northern Kentucky Legisla-tive Caucus requested theregion form the NorthernKentucky Consensus Commit-tee, which is comprised ofleaders from a variety of back-grounds including govern-ment, business and communityorganizations. This committeewas charged with the task ofprioritizing major capital pro-jects that would benefit ourregion as a whole. Since then,that committee has done so

every otheryear, coincid-ing with thebiennial bud-get processundertaken bythe KentuckyGeneral As-sembly.

The North-ern KentuckyConsensusCommittee has

done excellent work in thisarea and the fruits of theirlabors are evident each day aswe see examples such as theNorthern Kentucky Conven-tion Center, Bank of KentuckyCenter, and the campuses ofGateway College. Just thesethree projects are some of theshining stars for our regionand we can easily recognizethe benefits we gain fromthem.

As preparations begin for

the 2016 General Assembly,the Northern Kentucky Con-sensus Committee is onceagain diligently soliciting pro-ject proposals and informationand prioritizing projects for usto present this upcoming Janu-ary. The thought, which hasbeen successful in the past, isthat these projects are morelikely to receive funding andcome to fruition if our entireregion speaks with one clearand united voice.

It is important that citizensand organizations throughoutour region seriously considerprojects they would like to seebe considered by the commit-tee. If you would like to makea suggestion, we encouragethose with ideas to submitthem to the Northern Ken-tucky Chamber of Commerce.Applications for the projectscan be received from and sub-mitted to Alex Kraemer, man-

ager of public affairs for theNorthern Kentucky Chamberof Commerce, by calling 859-578-6386 or emailing akraem-er@nky chamber.com.

Experience has proven thatwhen Northern Kentucky’sleaders, both in the private andpublic sectors, work togetherand help supply legislatorswith clear goals, these part-nerships can result in greatventures that benefit us all.

State Rep. Addia Wuchner, R-Bur-lington, has served the 66th HouseDistrict, which consists of a portionof Boone County, since 2005. Shechairs the Northern Kentucky Legis-lative Caucus. Sen.

Dixie Heights runningback Luke Zajac had abrilliant senior season inwhich he helped lead theColonels to their first-ever state championshipgame appearance. Thurs-day night he added anoth-er career highlight as hestarred in the NorthernKentucky Football Coach-es Association East-WestSenior All-Star footballgame at Scott HighSchool.

Zajac was named theUC Health Player of theGame as he racked up 199all-purpose yards, includ-ing 117 receiving and 82rushing, and caught a 16-yard touchdown passwhile leading the East All-Stars to a 28-7 win overthe West.

“(Zajac’s) such astrong kid,” said NewportCentral Catholic coachDan Wagner, who coachedthe East All-Stars. “Andhe doesn’t say a word – hejust plows you over andthen gets back in the hud-dle. I love that kid. Now Iunderstand why theywere so good last year andwhy they beat us so bad.”

Simon Kenton line-backer Barry Deaton wasnamed the player of thegame for the West.

The East team, madeup of players from Belle-vue, Bishop Brossart,Campbell County, Coving-ton Catholic, Dayton, Dix-ie Heights, Highlands,Holmes, Newport andNewCath, got out to anearly lead over the Westteam that consisted ofplayers from Beechwood,

Boone County, Conner,Cooper, Holy Cross,Lloyd, Ludlow, Ryle, Scottand Simon Kenton.Beechwood’s Noel Rashcoached the West.

Zajac made his pres-ence felt on offensethroughout the entiregame. He totaled 133 all-purpose yards in the firsthalf, with a 47-yard catch-and-run in the first quar-ter and a 39-yard run inthe second on fourth-and-1that set up the East’sfirst touchdown. Threeplays later Bellevue’sZach Barrett jumped upand hauled in a perfectlylofted pass by CovCath’sAdam Wagner for a 21-yard score. An incom-plete pass on the two-point conversion attemptleft the score at 6-0 with7:31 to play in the half.

The West respondedlater in the quarter whenthey recovered a punt at

their own 47 with 3:05 leftbefore halftime. Lloydquarterback Hayden Mol-itor attempted fivestraight passes on thedrive – two of which hecompleted to Beech-wood’s Joe Studer forgains of 16 and 33 yards –and then Scott’s Eli Sowd-er plunged in from fouryards out. Lloyd’s SergioGutierrez booted the ex-tra-point to give the Westthe 7-6 lead.

With just 1:43 left, theEast orchestrated a sev-en-play, 50-yard drive thatculminated in a 16-yarddouble-reverse touch-down pass from Newportquarterback Paul Price toZajac. Price’s two-pointconversion run made thescore 14-7 at halftime.

“That’s why we madethe all-star team, becausewe’re good, I guess,”Price said about histeam’s offensive success.

“(Zajac) and I had a con-nection for the three daysof practice that we had,but I thought we playedwell as a whole team.”

Price scored againwhen he snuck the ball in-side the left pylon on an

option keeper for a two-yard touchdown. Anotherfailed two-point conver-sion attempt kept thescore at 20-7.

The East turned thegame into a rout early inthe fourth quarter whenNewport running backDominick Joseph pound-ed his way in from fouryards out and NewCath’sBrady Gray tacked on thetwo-point conversion tomake the final score 28-7.

On a night where manywere honored, the mosttouching moment of thenight came during half-time when the NorthernKentucky Football Coach-es Association presentedthe Chris Vier CourageAward to the family ofCraig Mullins, a formerBoone County HighSchool football player andcoach at Morehead Stateand Georgetown Collegewho lost his battle withcancer last month at theage of 45.

Since the weather is nice, are youthinking of starting to walk this year?My husband and I enjoy walkingthrough our neighborhood, but whenit’s extremely hot, rainy, or icy (youknow those days will be here againbefore you know it!) we often turn toour treadmill.

You may be concerned that if youwalk on a treadmill it will not be asgood a workout as walking outside. Thetruth is they both provide great bene-

fits to your body, butthere are some smalldifferences. Here aresome considerationswhen comparing walk-ing outside versus thetreadmill.

» If you are using atreadmill and leave itat a flat incline, youmay not burn as manycalories as you would ifyou were walking out-side. The ground natu-

rally has hills and valleys and yourbody always has to adjust to the land-scape. In order to add a little morecalorie burning to your treadmill walk,use the incline function. In fact, justinclining to 1 percent can help you burnmore calories and get your heart rateup a little faster.

» If you are on a treadmill, try not tohold the handrails. If you hold onto thehandrail, you will burn fewer calories.It is also not good for your posture.Remember when you are walking, youwant your arms to move freely andyour head to be up straight.

» Both indoor and outdoor walkingrequires you to use your balance. How-ever, when walking outdoors you mayhave to dodge cracks and take smallsteps. This also adds a little more chal-lenge to the walk. Walking outside, youalso may walk downhill. This uses dif-ferent muscles than walking on a flatsurface or uphill. Very few treadmillshave the ability to provide downhillwalking.

» Because the treadmill is flat, if

you have not been active for a while,the treadmill provides a safe and easyway to start walking.

» Many treadmills have programsthat allow for a warm-up, walking chal-lenge and cool down. This provides youwith a challenge that you may not getoutside.

» If you do not have a sidewalk or aplace to walk safely, treadmills are aterrific alternative.

» You never know when the weathermay prevent you from walking outside.The treadmill allows you to walk, nomatter what it looks like outside.

» If you get bored easily while walk-ing, a treadmill may allow you to walkwhile you are watching TV or listeningto music.

This is the time ofyear when people arelooking to buy a newhome and, with mort-gage rates near recordlows, home sales areexpected to be brisk. Butbeware, because ofhacking into the InternalRevenue Service therecould be delays gettingloan approval.

The IRS’s “Get Tran-script” application, thesection that was hacked,has been shut down tem-porary until more strin-gent safeguards areinstalled. That’s theapplication used bymortgage lenders forverification of income.About 23 million taxpay-ers used the online GetTranscript applicationthis past filing season.

Mark Merkhofer, ofColerain Township, sayshe ran into problemsgetting loan approval fora house he wants to buy.He writes, “My applica-tion is denied due to allthird party requests forIRS tax transcripts be-ing rejected due to a risein identity theft andfraud. Now I’m $2,000into buying this homeand I’ve been living outof bags…waiting to signon the dotted line. Thelender informed me oftheir difficulty in get-ting my transcripts onMay 22.”

So, Merkhofer triedto get his tax transcripton his own. He called theIRS and says, “Afterthree hours of awfulhold music and repeti-tive recordings I finallyhad someone on the

horn. Af-ter anoth-er 45 min-utes ofverifyinginforma-tion andmore holdtime I hadmy 2014transcript

in my email. I thought Ihad the final piece to thepuzzle”

The lender rejectedthe borrower-providedtranscripts. Merkhoferwrites, “So here I amnow, 90 days into thisprocess, losing sleep,stressing out, anxietypiling up, while stilldoing my best to main-tain composure beingthat I'm living in thishouse currently and runthe risk of being bootednext week due to thisentire loan applicationbeing declined due toIRS inadequacy of han-dling the latest securitybreach. I'm stoppeddead in my tracks withno solutions, no noth-ing.”

The IRS says it,“Takes the security oftaxpayer data extremelyseriously, and we areworking aggressively toprotect affected taxpay-ers and continue tostrengthen our proto-cols.”

So for now, thoseseeking their tax tran-scripts can apply andhave them mailed di-rectly to their lender.Normally, it should take5 to 10 days but it maytake longer due to in-creased demand since

the online transcriptoption is down. The sec-ond option for getting atax transcript is to go inperson to an IRS walk-inoffice. Appointments aremade on a first-come,first served basis so, theIRS says, its best to ar-rive before lunchtime.

In the meantime, theIRS says, it has taken anumber of steps to pro-tect taxpayers.

It has sent letters toall the some 200,000taxpayers whose ac-counts had attemptedunauthorized access tolet them know someone

may have had access totheir social securitynumber and other per-sonal information.

The IRS is also of-fering free credit mon-itoring to the some100,000 taxpayers whoseGet Transcript accountswere accessed in order

to ensure their informa-tion is not being usedillegally.

Museum to holdhistory lecture series

An executive whogrew up in Northern Ken-tucky and has spent thebulk of his working life atSt. Elizabeth Healthcarehas stepped up to the topjob, becoming only thethird president and chiefexecutive officer in thehealth system’s history.

Officials with St. Eliza-beth announced Mondaythat Garren Colvin, 50,was selected to succeedJohn Dubis, who resignedin February for healthreasons. St. ElizabethHealthcare is NorthernKentucky’s largest em-ployer.

“We live the mission,vision and values of ourorganization,” Colvin

said. “I cantell youthat ourmission, vi-sion andvalues arecarried outevery day.I’ve livedthem for 32

years now, and our pa-tients benefit throughthat. That’s one of the rea-

sons I’m here.”John Votruba, the

chairman of the board ofSt. Elizabeth, said theboard unanimously se-lected Colvin in a voteJune 10.

“While Garren is fromthis community, and hasgrown and matured pro-fessionally here, he has adeep understanding of theforces shaping health

care’s future,” Votrubasaid. “While he honors thepast, he is not a prisoner ofit. I think that over thenext decade, we’re goingto see some health-caresystems thrive and othersthat decline. We are aboutto embark on the most ex-citing phase of St. Eliza-beth’s history, and we arepoised to thrive in this en-vironment.”

Votruba said that un-der Colvin, St. Elizabeth

will likely expand its col-laborations with otherhealth-care systems. St.Elizabeth currently haspartnerships with Tri-Health and with the MayoClinic.

Colvin has long, deeproots in Northern Ken-tucky. He was a standoutat Ludlow High School infootball, basketball andbaseball and is a memberof the Northern KentuckySports Hall of Fame.

New St. E CEO is a familiar face in N. Kentucky
