Friday night brought fire trucks to the Lakemont Community in Erlanger. It appears that lightening struck a town home on Whitecliff Way. Firefighters were called and had to take down a wall between two of the townhouse units. While there is no damage visible to the outside of the units, the residents will have to find alternate accommodations for about a month.
Don't forget the Cinciditarod on Fountain Square this Saturday at noon.
Cinciditarod is a wacky, shopping cart race through Cincinnati that starts and finishes on Fountain Square. Its a tribute to the Alaskan Iditarod a brutal 1,100 mile dog-sled race but instead of dogs, its people; instead of sleds, its shopping carts; and instead of Alaska, its Cincinnati.
Andy Furman....Speaking of local college hoops, dont be surprised to see Northern Kentucky University opt to join the Horizon League. This according to an NKU official who will remain nameless. If and when the Norse decide to move to Division I basketball, the Horizon League proves a perfect fit, the administrator told me. Butler and Wright State are members of the league, which would provide a geographic rivalry and there are no football playing schools in the conference.
NKU has perhaps the best Division II facility in the nation a 9,000-plus arena that is perhaps only 40 percent full most of the time. The region would certainly respond to an NKU move to D-1, with potential rivals in Cincinnati, Xavier and perhaps games with Louisville and Kentucky.
