A 24-year-old Fort Mitchell man is dead after a motorcycle accident Tuesday afternoon.

Alva Lorenzy Holland was driving southbound on New Lair Road at 3 p.m. when he lost control of his 2008 black Yamaha motorcycle and struck a car driven by Elizabeth Moore, 53, from Cynthiana.

According to Sgt. Wilbur Gross, Holland was transported by Brown’s Ambulance Service to Harrison Memorial Hospital but died en route.

Probably the best word to describe Larry Medlin is rugged.

He’s an avid hunter, with the proof of his hunts adorning the walls of his home. He’s a former heavy construction worker-turned-road maintenance worker. He lives in his home on Eureka Road with his wife Donna and their three children.

Medlin is not a small man, which has served him well in the most recent season of his life.

The second reading of an ordinance increasing water rates was approved at Tuesday evening’s city commission meeting.

Moore voted against the second reading of the resolution.

Nathan Miller began writing when he was little.

“It was at Eastside Elementary where I first remember putting humorous stories to paper,” Miller said.  “Around third or fourth grade things started to become somewhat sensible, I suppose.”

Now, years later, one of Miller’s ‘sensible stories’ has made him a published author, a dream of his since he first put pen to paper.

“I think everyone who likes to read or write at all would like to see their name on a cover,” Miller said.
