CHEERS

..... to Indiana fans for being able to take a disappointing season much better than University of Kentucky fans. As a UK grad and fan who was just as frustrated as the next, the talk around Lexington would have you to believe the world is coming to an end.

— Tribune Reporter Daniel Suddeath

..... to the New Albany Urban Enterprise Zone producing tangible ideas and offerings to improve downtown New Albany. In addition to the facade grant program that's already been reported in The Tribune, the UEZ and New Directions Housing Corp. recently announced that it will partner to help fund home repairs for elderly, disabled and low-income homes within the zone, which comprises much of downtown. The public should try to take advantage of these programs because they represent a real opportunity to make a positive change.

— Tribune Publisher Steve Kozarovich

..... to the New Albany High School Bulldogs. Thank you boys for another thrilling season and representing our community so well.

— Tribune Publisher Steve Kozarovich

..... to the many volunteers who work each day to provide meals to the elderly in Clark, Floyd, Harrison and Scott counties. LifeSpan's Meals on Wheels program hands out almost 400 lunches each day, Monday through Friday, to those in need. For many, not only is the meal a necessity, but so is the interaction with the volunteer delivering it. This needed service is always searching for volunteers to help continue this wonderful program.

— Tribune Region Editor Chris Morris

..... to Jeremy Sprecher. The New Albany resident will take part in The Ride to Conquer Cancer benefit, in which he will bike 150 miles to raise money for the Norton Cancer Institute. Not only is donating his time and energy to a wonderful cause, but he's promoting good health and fitness at the same time.

For those interested about the benefit, call 877-688-BIKE or e-mail kentuckyguides@ridetovictory.org.

STAWAR: The souvenir state of America
Recently, my wife Diane and I spent the day aboard the Belle of Cincinnati with our daughter’s family. We all had a good time, even though the diesel-powered Cincinnati attraction isn’t a real steamboat, like our own Belle of Louisville, and despite the fact that it poured down rain the whole time.

NASH: Making a Memorial vacation
Memorial Day weekend is upon us which brings us to the start of the summer travel season. With the mild winter we had around here most schools didn’t have much in terms of snow make-up days so many kids have already finished up their semesters and are ready to get on with their holiday. Not to worry parents it will only be a couple of weeks before the back-to-school sales kick in and in no time at all it will be time for those youngsters to go back.

MORRIS: Nancy Hogan was more than just an employee
Pulling into The Tribune parking lot each morning was pretty uneventful in the old days. Nothing good happens between 5:30 and 6 a.m. Nothing at all.

HAMILTON: Is this really the best we can do?
As you know if you pay attention to national affairs, the United States faces a perfect fiscal storm at the end of this year. A confluence of deadlines and policy triggers unlike anything I can remember in a half-century of public life will produce massive budget cuts and serious tax increases amounting to a 3.5 percent hit on the nation’s Gross Domestic Product.

BEAM: Lost memories found
As time elapses, so do our memories. I forget things now. I can’t remember his height. How did he curl his lips into that sardonic, wholehearted smile? I only recall flashes of a moment. Wearing his jacket at prom. His golf clubs in the back of his old, golden car. Notes passed in the hallway. Listening to Boys to Men in his basement.

STANCZYKIEWICZ: A gift for mom and dad
Two strategies for parents are important. First, parents need to model for children how to disagree. “When you’re talking with your spouse and you’re whining and complaining and nagging, you shouldn’t be too surprised when your young person does the same thing,” Allen said. “We need to be good role models.”
