THE RIVER CITY NEWS MORE COVINGTON NEWS THAN ANY OTHER SOURCE

RECOMMENDED BRIDGE PLAN IS
DETRIMENTAL TO COVINGTON
DO YOU WANT TO SEE COVINGTON LOSE ITS 5TH STREET EXIT?
DO YOU THINK DRIVERS SHOULD HAVE TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT TO COME TO COVINGTON WAY BACK AT EZZARD CHARLES ON INTERSTATE 71? IF A DRIVER WERE TO MISS THAT DECISION POINT, THE NEXT OPTION TO COME TO COVINGTON WOULD BE AT KYLES LANE.
DO YOU WANT TO SEE GOEBEL PARK'S POOL BECOME UNUSABLE?
DO YOU WANT TO SEE ACCESS TO DEVOU PARK BECOME MORE LIMITED?
Your City is important and so is your voice, so bring it to tonight's Brent Spence Bridge project public meeting at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center from 5:00 - 8:00PM and tell transportation officials that Covington matters. Don't let the new bridge rip apart access to our city.

A profile of another soon-to-be-graduate of Holmes High School
From the Covington Independent Public Schools:
“In front of an audience I feel exhilarated and I have fun,” Elijah said. “I especially like to entertain children while I am in character because they believe I am the person I am playing.”
His ambition has been fueled at Holmes. Elijah has performed in seven musicals and plays including title roles in “Seussical the Musical” and “Willy Wonka.” His final high school role will be playing the Beast in Holmes’ upcoming production of Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast.”
Elijah considers his involvement in the shows at Holmes as his greatest high school memory. “My favorite role was playing Horton the Elephant,” Elijah said. “The line, ‘a person’s a person no matter how small,’ helped me realize you don’t have to be somebody else to be important.”
He credits teacher Rex Sholar with teaching him to sing, act, and to stretch beyond his comfort zone.

Federal Election Commission documents also credit Knock with a more than $500 in-kind donation for hosting the very first AmeriGOP event at his house. Further, Knock penned a letter soliciting donations for the group and saying AmeriGOP supports Massie.WFPL
