ERLANGER — An educa-tion does not begin in kinder-garten.

According to KristineFrech, vice president of Sky-ward, research by econo-mists, neuroscientists andeducators proves that invest-ments in the first five years –including high-quality pre-school experiences – resultin long-term gains for stu-dents and produce signifi-cant savings for govern-ments and taxpayers.

In Northern Kentuckymore than 5,000 children en-ter kindergarten each year,Frech said. Unfortunately,only 53 percent, or about2,840, of those children areactually ready.

“Northern Kentuckyshould support and invest inprograms that increase kin-dergarten readiness rates,”Frech said. “Increasingreadiness rates would notonly positively impact thelives of those children inneed, it would also have a rip-ple effect on Northern Ken-tucky’s future workforceand economy.”

Skyward wants 1,000more children‘kindergarten ready’

That’s why Skyward, theorganization formerlyknown as Vision 2015 that ispaving the way for NorthernKentucky’s strategic plan, isbehind an effort to get allchildren ready to learn andsucceed in school, work andlife.

The initiative is calledPre-K Works.

Pre-K Works is an inde-pendent, cross-sector initia-tive co-convened by Sky-ward and United Way’s Suc-cess by Six to provide univer-sal access to high-qualitypreschool for all childrenages 3 and 4.

The voluntary programhas three primary areas offocus, Frech said:

Commission has pledgedto pay the bulk of the esti-mated $20 million projectcost.

The project will be ad-vertised for constructionbidding once the Ken-tucky Department of

Education approves biddocuments, Kirchnersaid.

“In the meantime, wehave relocated the twoexisting mobile class-rooms that were alreadyon site,” he said. “Thiswas done to allow roomfor the demolition andeventual construction ofnew gymnasium, cafete-ria and classroom

spaces.”More mobile class-

rooms will be installedsoon for student usethroughout the project,Kirchner said.

“Basically we’re at astandstill until we get theother mobile units,” saidLisa Duckworth, a boardof education member.

The district is ready tostart work as soon as pos-

sible, Duckworth said.“We’re waiting on the

OK from the state on therenovation plans,” shesaid.

economy,” Burkhardtsaid. “High-quality earlychildhood education canresult in as much as a $7return on investment forevery public dollar in-vested in a child’s educa-tion before age 5.”

Burkhardt saidachieving this goal willtake a multi-tactic ap-proach. That means pro-viding access to high-quality early learning forall 3- and 4-year-olds, ex-panding the number ofhigh-quality childcareproviders in the region,and increasing capacityfor best practice homevisitation programs.

“We are partneringwith our local communi-ty partners, our cities,our local early childcareproviders, United Wayand Skyward to create a

» and offer additionalmentoring experiences,learning supports andhome visiting for parentsand caregivers of youngchildren.

“Our goal at Skywardis to ensure that at least1,000 more children areprepared and ready forkindergarten by the year2020,” Frech said. “Donewell, Pre-K Works will bea transformational initia-tive.”

Erlanger-Elsmerepilots Pre-K Worksfor region

This school year, asSkyward and Success BySix prepare to launchPre-K Works, they’ll testthe initiative in Erlanger-Elsmere Schools.

Superintendent KathyBurkhardt considers itan honor the district wasselected to pilot the ini-tiative.

“Investing in earlychildhood is a smart, up-front investment thatsupports our futureworkforce and regional

choice by providing tu-ition credits for everychild, regardless of in-come, to attend high-quality preschool for upto two years before be-ginning kindergarten;

6 investing in qualityby supporting provenstrategies that supportchildcare facilities withefforts to improve theirquality rating and moveup on the common-wealth’s quality ratingsystem;

model which may be util-ized across the entirestate,” the superinten-dent said.

“This model has thepower to create a greater,more prepared work-force for our entire state.Execution of this demon-stration site will allow usto identify opportunitiesfor sustainability and ex-pansion of the demon-stration site while work-ing toward other tacticsaligned with preparing1,000 or more childrenfor kindergarten.”

The root of it all, Burk-hardt said, is partnershipwith district families.

Parents are ourchildren’s firstteachers

“We know that our par-ents are our children’sfirst teachers and we arestriving to engage par-ents in children’s every-day learning experiencesand offer a broad menu ofresources and strategiesto all families of youngchildren. This includesstay-at-home parents aswell as parents whochoose to have their chil-dren in childcare.”

According to LeshiaLyman, senior director ofarea center operationsfor United Way of Great-er Cincinnati, Erlanger-Elsmere Schools was se-lected because “theyhave many of the neces-sary components, such ascommunity partners,programs in place for asuccessful model and in-credible district leader-ship.”

PARK HILLS — CovingtonCatholic High School will field anew logo unifying its sportsteams and education brandingwith the sign of the cross.

CovCath, Northern Ken-tucky’s only all-male Catholichigh school, will unveil a newathletic turf with the school’snew cross inset into a “C” logoat mid-field during a 5:30 p.m.Friday, Aug. 21, “throwback”football game vs. Ryle HighSchool. A set of soccer “throw-back” games will be Aug. 22with a 5 p.m. junior varsitygame and 6:30 p.m. varsitygame each against Trinity HighSchool in Louisville.

Established in Covington in1925, CovCath has been in ParkHills since 1954. The schooldraws students from 21 ZIPcodes from counties includingBoone, Campbell, Kenton inKentucky and Hamilton inOhio.

“I think it’s going to encour-age us and definitely bring a lotmore energy into the program,”said senior football playerCameron Pitzer, of Villa Hills,of the new field and logo.

The school’s colonel logo,dressed in royal blue and white,is getting a makeover and willalso be unveiled with the main“C” and cross logo Aug. 21.

A throwback game is achance to see the new turf fieldpaid for with $230,000 of the$653,000 cost paid from an NFLFoundation Grassroots Grant,Principal Bob Rowe said.

People are invited to watch avideo and hear guest speakersabout the school’s past success-es and future plans after theAug. 21 football game, Rowesaid.

Track, soccer, football andlacrosse teams will all use thefield, Rowe said.

Creating a new logo replacesvarious other logos each differ-ent sports team had includingone featuring a basketball net.The new C logo took the samecross used on the school’s offi-cial seal, Rowe said.

“The most important partthat we wanted to make sure

that was prominent was ourCatholic identity,” he said.

A trend for area high schoolsand middle schools, includingHighlands Middle School inFort Thomas, is to create aschool-wide logo and brand,said Jill Franxman, CovCath’sdirector of business operations

and marketing. “We’re going to share a

brand standards document, sojust like Procter & Gamble andDisney and Apple have longperfected if you will, and manyschools are headed in the samedirection,” Franxman said.

Up is the direction of Cov-

Cath’s enrollment within thelast five years, she said.

CovCath’s enrollment has in-creased 25 percent in five yearsfrom 485 students to 610 stu-dents starting classes Aug. 17,Franxman said.

And at 173 students, thisyear’s freshman class is the big-gest since 1972, she said. Lastyear’s freshman class had 162students.

Rowe said he credits Cov-Cath’s “product” for enroll-ment growth.

“You look at our spirituality,our community service that weoffer and what we’re producingin these young men each andevery day,” Rowe said. “I thinkpeople see that out there in thecommunity and they want to bea part of it.”

And credit for academicsneeds to go to teachers, he said.

“Academically we feel likewe’re leading the way with re-gards to we’re implementing anew STEM program,” Rowesaid.

STEM is an acronym for Sci-ence Technology Engineeringand Math. CovCath is startingwith two classes that will even-tually evolve into a four-yearprogram, he said.

Students in STEM courseswill earn college credit, saidLaura J. Sage, CovCath’s direc-tor of advancement.

Student ACT scores are av-eraging about 26, Sage said.CovCath had three studentsearn a perfect score of 36 on theACT last year.

“There is a lot of newness go-ing on,” Rowe said. “There’s alot of excitement and energy.”

Having a new field and andunified school logo brings ex-citement, and hopefully morepeople to games, said soccerplayer Bryce Day of Edgewood

“I like the cross in the middleof the C,” Day said of the new lo-go. “I think that’s kind of cool.”

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS COMINGAdding stadium lights is a CovCath goal, Principal Bob Rowe said.“I think it’s important for our student athletes to be able to participate on Friday nights in front of more

people,” Rowe said.Having a 5:30 p.m. Aug. 21 throwback football game is part of a way of generating excitement for eventually

adding field lighting, he said.“There’s a reason why the NFL is played on Sunday, college is played on Saturday and high school is played on

Friday, and we need to be a part of that,” Rowe said.

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS —Northern Kentucky Univer-sity has a new website, Blue-grass By The Numbers, to ex-pand access to economic datafor communities across Ken-tucky.

This will be the first timeup-to-date economic data froma variety of sources has beenaggregated in one place, ac-cording to a news release fromNKU.

Bluegrass By The Numbersis a free service provided byNKU’s Center for EconomicAnalysis and Development(CEAD), an initiative of theHaile/US Bank College of Busi-ness.

others across Kentucky andthe nation.

“This new public servicewill enable communitiesacross Kentucky to measurethe performance of their econ-omies and allow them to bench-mark against others,” saidCEAD director Janet Harrah.“We aim to provide meaningfuldata that can help propel theeconomies of communitiesacross our commonwealth.”

Major data sets include em-ployment by industry and oc-cupation; labor force status, in-cluding unemployment rates;personal income statistics; anddemographic trends.

CEAD will aggregate thefederal labor data and make itavailable by Area Develop-ment District, Metropolitan

Statistical Area and, in somecases, by city and county.

The student-led project issupervised by Harrah, a mem-ber of the state’s ConsensusForecasting Group.

Data is available atbluegrassbythenumbers.nku.eduand via Excel-based tools peo-ple can download. Regular re-ports are also available viaemail.

Bluegrass By The Numbersis modeled on the successful“Northern Kentucky by theNumbers,” a CEAD initiativethat provides similar data forthe Northern Kentucky andGreater Cincinnati region andregular reports on the region’seconomic climate.

It seems to me that thebest part of summer isright now, what with allthe homegrown summerproduce at its peak.That’s why it’s always sohard for me to accept the

fact thatit’s also thetime kidsare goingback toschool. If Ihad anysay in thematter(which Iobviouslydon’t), I’drevert to

the old days when schoolstarted after Labor Day,not before.

The reality is that thisweek will be the firstweek of school for manyof our children, so therecipe I’m sharing formaple granola is timely.The chunkiness alongwith some healthy ingre-dients makes this an easychoice for snacks or atopping for yogurt.

Chunky maplecinnamon granola

I recommend old-fashioned oats becausethey’re larger and bakeup nicely. Be carefulwhen breaking apart.

Mix together:4 cups old-fashioned

oatsAbout 1 to 1-1/2 cups

favorite nuts, choppedcoarsely if necessary

1 cup seeds: Try sesa-me, flax, millet, chia,hemp, pumpkin or sun-flower or a combination.

CoatingWhisk together:1/2 to 2/3 cup brown

sugar

1/2 cup extra virginolive oil

1/2 cup real maplesyrup or honey

1 tablespoon vanilla1 teaspoon cinnamon

(optional)Preheat oven to 325.

Put a piece of parchmentor foil on large cookiesheet (about 15x17 withsides). Spray parchment/foil. Pour coating overoat mixture. Pour ontopan and pat down evenlyand very firmly. This isimportant to make thegranola chunk up later.Bake 35 minutes or so,until it looks golden. Ilike to pat it down againwhile it’s still warm. Letcool and break intochunks.

Healthy seedsMillet (you recognize

it as an ingredient in birdfeed) gives a crunch andcontains protein and iron.

Chia, like flax, is agreat source of Omega3’s, but doesn’t have to beground to get the benefit.It also absorbs water andcurbs appetite.

Hemp seeds. So, Iknow what you’re think-ing ... you won’t go offinto la-la land after in-gesting hemp seeds.They are hulled and safeto eat. The bonus: they’rea complete protein andfull of Omega 3s.

Medley of roastedsummer veggies

My friend Bob downthe road put out a basketof eggplant “for free” onthe stoop by his old well.Who could resist? Notme! I’ll be adding theeggplant to a roastedsummer vegetable med-

ley. Simple and easy toserve, the veggies are cutup prior to roasting. It’sadapted from one sharedby my talented and shar-ing colleague and friend,Amy Tobin. Check outAmy’s site atwww.amy-tobin.com.

4 cups summer veg-gies, like asparagus,small turnips, beets,zucchini, yellow squash,eggplant, bell peppers,potatoes, green beans,etc., cut up

1 tablespoon olive oil2 teaspoons balsamic

vinegarSalt and pepper to

taste1 teaspoon minced

garlicRed pepper flakes to

taste1/2 cup olive or grape

seed oilPreheat oven to 425.

Combine all the ingredi-ents and seasonings inlarge bowl, season withsalt and pepper to taste.Spread vegetables out onlarge-rimmed bakingsheet and roast untiltender.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Olive oil vs. grapeseed oil: Olive oil is madefrom olives and grapeseed oil is made from theseeds of grapes. Becausethey are plant-derived,neither contains choles-terol. Both have vitaminE, which is good for yourimmune system andprotects your cells.Grape seed oil has twicethe vitamin E of olive oil.

Olive oil has a distinctflavor where grape seedoil has a neutral flavor.Although both oils have a

high smoke point (goodfor high temperatures),grape seed has a highersmoke point than olive.Which one to use de-pends upon the flavorprofile you are lookingfor.

The wheels on thebus go round andround, round andround, round andround. The wheels onthe bus go round andround all through thetown.

As a mother of a3-month-old, I sing thissong and dozens like itover and over and overduring the course of aday. My son smiles and coos atmy singing. I smile knowingthat this simple song is doingmuch more than offering a fewminutes of fun. It is helping hisbrain develop and ultimatelythis simple, repetitive act al-lows him to grow with astronger foundation for learn-ing.

In Northern Kentucky wehave more than 5,000 childrenentering kindergarten each

year. Unfortunately,only 53 percent, orapproximately 2,840, ofthose children areactually ready.

In order for toddlersto become strong stu-dents, and to effective-ly reduce achievementgaps, Northern Ken-tucky should supportand invest in programsthat increase kinder-

garten readiness rates. In-creasing readiness rates wouldnot only positively impact thelives of those children in need;it would also have a rippleeffect on Northern Kentucky’sfuture workforce and econo-my.

That’s why Skyward, theorganization and engineerbehind Northern Kentucky’sstrategic vision, has identifiedkindergarten readiness as one

of four strategies for enhanc-ing the economic climate inNorthern Kentucky. Our goalat Skyward is to ensure that atleast 1,000 more children areprepared and ready for kin-dergarten by the year 2020.

According to economist Dr.James Heckman two-thirds oflearning achievement gapsexist when a child walks ontheir first day of kindergarten.So how can we better prepareour children? We believe wecan tackle this challengethrough the launch of a newprogram called Pre-K Works.An independent, cross-sectorinitiative co-convened by Sky-ward and Success by 6, Pre-KWorks will provide universalaccess to high quality pre-school for all children ages 3and 4.

A voluntary program, Pre-KWorks has three primary areas

of focus:» Increasing parental

choice by providing tuitioncredits for every child, regard-less of income, to attend high-quality preschool for up to twoyears before beginning kin-dergarten;

» Investing in quality bysupporting proven strategiesthat support childcare facil-ities with efforts to improvetheir quality rating and moveup on the commonwealth’squality rating system;

» Offer additional mentor-ing experiences, learning sup-ports, and home visiting forparents and caregivers ofyoung children;

Decades of research byeconomists, neuroscientists,and educators have shown thatinvestments in the first fiveyears – including high-qualitypreschool experiences – result

in long-term gains for studentsand produce significant sav-ings for governments and tax-payers. The answer couldn’t beclearer – Pre-K Works.

Done well, Pre-K Works willbe a transformational initia-tive. This year as we prepareto launch Pre-K Works we'll betesting the initiative in theErlanger-Elsmere School Dis-trict. Regardless of whichcommunity you live in, If youare a parent, grandparent,business leader, educator, orelected official I encourageyou to visitwww.skywardnky.org learnmore about Pre-K Works andto join us in our effort to en-sure more Northern Kentuckychildren are prepared for kin-dergarten.

Negative 12 degrees, fighting ice or 95degrees and mud covered, the cows stillneed to be fed.

Some might say that it’s a horrible jobfor a high school student. But I love it.

Farming is not a luxurious or comfort-able job, and you always have to be readyfor a letdown. Although on the bright side,when everything goes smoothly and youturn out a bumper crop, farming is themost satisfying job on earth.

Good or bad, farming is a gamble withuncontrollable variableslike weather, economy andmechanical failures. Whenyou feel like you are play-ing against loaded dice,and the odds are againstyou, the best thing you cando is keep working smartand hope for a betteryears to follow.

Many of my classmateswould be discouraged bythe hurdles of farming,but there are still many of

us who prefer this job to the conveniencesof working behind a counter in an air-con-ditioned retail shop.

Why would we prefer this job?There are many reasons that test our

skills, endurance, strength and problem-solving ability. We are outside people whofind it rewarding working with our handsand our minds, while connecting with oth-ers who share similar goals. In the retailposition, a pay raise is very rewarding, butin farming our pay raises come as healthybaby calves, less competitive weeds,smooth operating equipment, and a fairprice for crops.

So even though farming is a gamblefinancially, to quote the FFA Creed, “Iknow the joys and discomforts of agricul-tural life, and hold an inborn fondness forthose associations which, even in hours ofdiscouragement, I cannot deny.”

One of the key roles of theoffice of the Kentucky Trea-surer’s Office is to managethe unclaimed property pro-gram. Unclaimed propertylaws have been around fordecades in Kentucky and inthe United States.

Hundreds of unclaimedbank accounts, insurancebenefits, dividends, stocks,bonds and other propertyfunds go unclaimed by citi-zens and their family members eachyear in the commonwealth. This isusually due to a change in address, adeath or change in name. It is up tothe state treasurer to manage theprocess of recovering funds for therightful owners.

Kentucky has even nowjoined the national MissingMoney registry to assist thoseacross the globe who mighthave unclaimed funds held bythe Kentucky treasury. Any-one can search on a particularname and the treasurer’soffice has safeguards in placeto insure the funds and prop-erty are returned to theirrightful owner or heirs.

Elderly citizens are oftencontacted by outside firms offeringto secure their unclaimed funds for afee. While legal, these solicitationscan cause concern and confusion andoften leads to funds going unclaimedfor decades. With Kentucky’s easyonline search and secure request

form process, Kentuckians can feelconfident in the process of recover-ing property and funds that rightful-ly belong to them or their familymember.

I urge all Kentuckians to visit thewebsite of the Kentucky State Trea-surer to search for money and prop-erty that could be claimed. Visit theKentucky Treasurer’s website forinformation and to start a search.

Last week’s questionDid you watch the Republican presi-

dential debate last week? Who im-pressed you? Why?

“Carly and Ben. The others are allmore of the same. Washington couldsorely stand some no BS intelligentleadership. I would serve on Fiorina’scampaign in an instant if she becomes acontender.”

D.H.

“I watched the debate and I am im-pressed by Trump. His actions and pro-nouncements are just outward mani-festations of the GOP’s policies and be-liefs. I can’t understand why they standspeechless or don’t applaud. Maybethey can’t stand seeing the reality oftheir beliefs, in living color, right infront of them. I know the GOP sickensme, but they should be able to hold theirstomachs and keep it down when one oftheir own is preaching to their choir.”

C.S.

“I certainly did watch the first of toomany debates for this election cycle

and found it quite entertaining. I didnot find, nor expect, a great deal of sub-stance, but with Mr. Trump literally atcenter stage, how could one not find itto be a good-watch. I gave Fox a bigblack mark for daring to have commer-cials in the midst of a presidential de-bate and was somewhat surprisedwhen Ryan Seacrest wasn’t the persontelling us ‘the debate will be right backafter this...’

“The winner, according only to me,was Chris Christie. He is straightfor-ward, thoughtful, and yes, a politician,but I get the sense that he can absolute-ly actually lead this country down a bi-partisan path that has been sorely lack-ing with the incumbent individual.

There are clearly too many candidatestrying for the Brass Ring on the repub-lican side and I fully expect that num-ber to start decreasing soon whenthose that cannot raise any money real-ize that is for a reason.

M.J.F.

“I preferred the format used for theRepublican debate. The questionswere ‘tailored’ to each candidate. Noone was left off the hook.

Special ‘attention’ was paid to Don-ald Trump with their insightful ques-tions. Due to the large number of nomi-nees (17), I do not feel anyone eliminat-ed themselves and I look forward to an-other one with less candidates and thisformat. I felt Carly Fiorini and Gov.Kasich took a step forward: Fiorina be-cause she has actually run a businessand Kasich because he has had somefiscal success. I was looking forward toDonald Trump’s comments but he didnot help himself.

“My early prediction is a ticket ofJeb Bush and as V.P. Carly Fiorina.Trump could be the third party spoilera la Ross Perot in 1992. Go figure!”

SHORT HOPS

Last season, Highlands was not playingits best football until November. Thisyear, the defending Class 4A state champi-ons should start much faster, a scarythought for Northern Kentucky oppo-nents.

Brian Weinrich and his staff knew theywould need some time to get the Bluebirdsup to speed in his first season as headcoach. Every coach was leading a differ-ent position group or taking on a new re-sponsibility in 2014. This August feelsvery different.

“We’re light years ahead of where wewere at this time last year,” said Weinrich.“Last year, every coach was doing some-thing he had never done before. Ourcoaches have gained a year of experience,too.”

Not much has changed on the field, ei-ther. The Bluebirds return an experiencedoffensive line led by Bo Hebel, Evan Rich-ardson, and Carson Haas. Running backNick Kendall is back, as are receiversMitchell Cain, Chandler New, and EricMiller. Six-foot-five, 225-pound seniorAustin Hergott takes over at quarterback.The strong-armed Hergott will not try tobe Highlands quarterbacks of the past,but will try to add his own legacy to theprogram’s storied quarterback tradition.

“We tell him ‘You’re not anybody else.You’re you. Play to your strengths,’ ” saidWeinrich. “He has an absolute cannon.”

The defense will be led by lineman Ty-ler Robinson and defensive back AustinBeal. Luke Lindeman, Joe Dressman, andConner Welsch will step into linebackerroles.

Camp practices have seemed to gomuch faster than they did a year ago. TheBluebirds know the terminology andknow what plays to make. There will beless thinking and more reacting from thefirst snap of the season in 2015.

“Our biggest strength is the knowledgewe have compared to last year,” said Wein-rich. “We’re trying to pick up where weleft off last year.”

PARK HILLS — In three yearsas the head football coach atNewport Central Catholic, Ed-die Eviston led the Thorough-breds to state championships inhis first (2010) and last seasons(2012) before accepting a posi-tion as the offensive coordina-tor at Georgetown College.Now, Eviston is hoping to bringsimilar immediate success toCovington Catholic.

“Every program should havethat (state championship orbust) attitude,” Eviston said.“Deep down I don’t know ifthat’s a reality for every pro-gram or not, but I think at Co-vington Catholic, with the type

of program itis, that shouldbe a realisticgoal everyyear. We’recoming inhere as a staffand coachingthese guys upfor that ulti-mate goal.

“I’ve never been a three- orfive-year plan guy. Let’s get af-ter it now.”

The top two returning re-ceivers are junior Ryan McGin-ness and junior Anthony Best.McGinness and senior runningback Ben Darlington each hadabout 300 yards rushing lastyear. McGinness rushed for sixtouchdowns and was also thebackup quarterback last year.

Cov Cath lost almost all of itsreceptions and receiving yardsfrom last year.

Other returning starters in-clude senior lineman Chris Re-isiger, senior offensive linemanNathan Baute, senior defensiveback/linebacker Cam Pitzer,senior linebacker Ethan Sam-mons, senior defensive linemanLuke Shields and senior line-backer Lucas Timmerman.

Sophomore A.J. Mayer,whom Eviston touts as a Divi-sion I college prospect, is the topcontender for the QB position.

“He’s picked up the offensethe quickest, but he’s still asophomore,” Eviston said. “Hisceiling is very high. He has a lot

of potential at that position. I’mexcited to get to watch him de-velop. He’ll have his peaks andvalleys and we’ll take somebumps as he learns things, but Ithink he’s the type of kid thatwill bounce back quickly.”

Reisiger, the anchor of fourreturning seniors on the offen-sive line, said the intensity ofpractices and the lack of downtime with the new coachingstaff has helped in lessening thelearning curve and increasingthe competition.

“It’s a little bit of a cultureshock,” Reisiger said. “We’re

very productive in our time onthe field. Everything is quickand upbeat. We get a lot done in ashorter amount of time. We’repretty intense daily in general.”

CovCath will be fine-tuningand building chemistry early inthe season against a difficultschedule while learning newhead coach Eviston’s run-and-shoot offense.

Eviston expects McGinnessto get plenty of work as the slotback in his new offense. Starlinebacker Pitzer will miss thefirst few weeks of the seasondue to injury, but once he re-

turns the Colonels should be ledby their defense. He led theteam with 95 tackles last season.

Seniors Jake Steins and LukeShields give them toughness upfront, and Best adds speed andsavvy in the secondary.

“The attitude they have por-trayed through all the changesthat have occurred due to newcoaches and new systems,”Eviston said.

CovCath opens the season athome Friday, Aug. 21, vs. Ryle ina Friday night special at Cov-Cath to debut the field’s new ar-tificial turf. Kickoff is 5:30 p.m.

in what the school is billing as a“Throwback” night.

The following week they’lltake on perennial GreaterCatholic League South power-house Cincinnati St. Xavier atthe University of Cincinnati’snewly renovated Nippert Stadi-um as part of the Skyline ChiliCrosstown Showdown.

Aug. 28. The Colonelswere moved down toClass 5A in the newKHSAA reclassificationand will be in a districtwith area powers High-lands and CovingtonCatholic, along with GrantCounty.

Brossart and the Colo-nels have adapted to turn-over before, going 3-8 in2012 with a very younggroup.

“We have a big sopho-

EDGEWOOD — The Dix-ie Heights football play-ers are well aware thatoutsiders have lower ex-pectations of them thisseason than last.

That’s a natural feelingwhen Dixie was 13-2 waslast season and reachedthe Class 6A state champi-onship game before suf-fering heavy graduationlosses that led to mostlynew names at the top ofthe depth chart this sea-son.

However, the Colonelswant to adopt the mindsetthat no roster turnover istoo big to overcome.

“To come off a 13-2 sea-son, teams like Highlands,whether they win or lose,they come back believingand this is the first timewe’ve been there,” saidDixie head coach DavidBrossart. “I told the kidsyou are regional and dis-trict champs and youshould come back with aswagger because untilthis season is over you’reregional champs andthat’s something that hasto be taken away fromyou. We want our kids tobelieve every year thatthey have a chance tocompete in the finals.”

The Colonels will startthis season with a few keyholdovers among starting

defensive players butwith all of the startersfrom last year’s potent of-fense either gone or play-ing new positions.

“Our young kids areworking hard and step-ping into their roles,” saidsenior receiver/defensiveback Ethan Schulte, “Thekids were with us on thatjourney and they knowwhat it takes to get thereand we’ll work as hard asit takes to get back there.”

The offense, of course,was led by quarterbackDrew Moore, who ac-counted for more than3,000 yards and 38 touch-downs last season. LukeZajac and his 1,354 rush-ing yards and 14 TDs alsodeparted as well as a mas-sive and talented offen-sive line.

The lone returningstarter from that unit, lastyear’s top receiver Gun-ther Faeth, a senior, is in

line to be the new QB en-tering the Aug. 14 scrim-mage. Junior Noah Sme-dley can also play QB andreceiver. Junior CameronBarrett, the team’s thirdrusher last year with 568yards and eight scores,comes back.

“We feel like we canmove the ball on people,”Brossart said. “The realchallenge is replacing agreat offensive line. Wehad six seniors includingthe tight end. We’ve gotabout eight to nine kidsnow who we’re looking at.The scrimmages will bereally valuable.”

The defense also hadheavy losses but has a vet-eran core to build aroundin senior lineman JackLohre, senior linebackerOwen Sammons, seniorlinebacker Noah Capleand Schulte in the second-ary.

“We have something

good on defense right nowso we’ll try to keep it up,”Caple said. “There’s beena lot of talk about us notbeing as good as last year,but I think we have a spe-cial group. We have a lotof good skill players and Ithink we’ll have a goodseason.”

Dixie will play countyrivals Scott and SimonKenton early in the sea-son, with the Scott contestbeing the season opener

more class of 20 to 25kids,” the coach said. “Alot of those kids will beplaying so it’s kind of likewhat we did three yearsago. We’re trying to devel-op kids and just start over.The atmosphere has beenpositive and the kids havebeen working reallyhard.”

Dan Wagner enters histhird season as headcoach at Newport CentralCatholic with expecta-tions.

There is no longer aquestion as to who willstart at quarterback.There are few positionbattles as the Thorough-breds enter camp, with 14out of 22 starters return-ing. Fewer questionmarks equals much high-er expectations as the2015 campaign begins.

With uncertainty atquarterback and limitedexperience entering lastseason, the ’Breds strug-gled out of the gate. Afterlosing their first fourgames, they rallied all theway to a third straightClass 2A state champion-ship game. This year, withjunior Patrick Henschenentrenched at quarter-back and experience onboth sides of the ball,NewCath will be expectedto return to the state fi-nals.

“The biggest differ-ence from last year is ourexperience,” said Wagner.“We have nine startersback on defense, five onoffense, as well as ourpunter and kicker.”

The Thoroughbredsfell one win short in eachof the past two seasons,losing to DeSales in thestate final each time. Thisyear’s squad hopes to re-claim the Class 2A title

which NewCath last wonin 2012.

Henschen emergedfrom a three-way positionbattle to lead the offenselast season. He has takenstrides in the offseasonand will be bolstered bythe return of runningback Jacob Smith.

“He is looking good sofar this summer, and theexperience he was able toget last year should be abig help,” said Wagner.

Cameron Winters andBryson Hightchew willlead the line that protectsHenschen and opensholes for Smith and full-back John Harris. Line-men Maleek Lawrence,Luke Kues, and KonnerCarmack, and lineback-ers Kobe Tallon and Har-ris will anchor the de-fense.

The goal this year issimple and obvious:

“Get back to the statefinal, and have a differentoutcome,” said Wagner.

Newport Central Catholic’s Jacob Smith carries the ball in last season’s 2A state championship game.

The Northern Ken-tucky Top Guns are shoot-ing once again for a na-tional championship thismonth.

The team of scholastictrap shooters practices atthe Bob White Sports-man’s Club in Claryvillenear Campbell CountyHigh School. They areheading to the nationalmeet in Sparta, Ill., July18-19. The complex has120 trap fields spread outover three miles.

Head coach DennisMenning said more than2,000 kids will participatein the tournament. Manyof the local participantsare seasoned veterans ofthe sport already.

Each shooter has 200targets in a competition.

In trap shooting, targetsor “birds” are flung out ofa machine. The shooternever knows where thetarget is coming from orwhat path it will take.Hand-eye coordination

and patience are key.“Vendors from all

across the country will bethere to display the latestin shooting equipment,”Menning said. “It promis-es to bring out the best in

all the shooters compet-ing there. The kids will beable to meet other kidsfrom across the nationand make lasting friend-ships. It is the granddad-dy of all shoots.”

Like other sports mo-tions such as a free throwor a golf swing, a pre-shotroutine is crucial in trap-shooting, said TannerHamilton, a CampbellCounty High School stu-dent and multi-sport ath-lete there.

“It takes effort to try todo your best,” he said.“You have to go out and fo-cus and know whereyou’re hitting the bird. If Idon’t feel the gun ismounted right, I put it

down and start my routineover.”

The Top Guns partici-pated in the state shootover July 4 weekend.Bringing home a first-place trophy was the quin-tet of Tyler Allphin, Tra-vis Logan, Jordan McKin-ney, Rebekah Schnitzlerand Devin Steinman.They scored an 852 out of1,000 to win the title in theintermediate entry leveldivision. Allphin shot 190out of 200, followed byMcKinney with 188,Schnitzler with 185, Logan159 and Steinman 130. All-phin was third individual-ly in the intermediate ad-vanced category with hisscore, and McKinney was

second in entry level. The varsity team took

second place with 955 outof 1,000. Dakota Brashearled the way with 195, fol-lowed by Tanner Hamil-ton 194, Brennan Kamer192, Casey Appleman 188and Andrew Tempke 186.

Quentin Penrod, a vet-eran of the team and 2012Campbell County gradu-ate, shot 196 to win indi-vidually in the college di-vision.

Jake Dickens broke thefirst 100 targets on hisway to 194 during the com-petition. Elizabeth Wom-ble hit her first 25 targets.

NOTICEPlease take notice that Duke Energy Kentucky, Inc. has applied to the Kentucky

Public Service Commission for approval to revise its Demand Side Management (DSM) rate for electric service and gas service for residential and commercial customers. Duke Energy Kentucky’s current monthly DSM rate for residential gas customers is $0.081352 per hundred cubic feet and for non-residential gas customers is $0.000000 per hundred cubic feet. Duke Energy Kentucky’s current monthly DSM rate for residential electric customers is $0.005944 per kilowatt-hour and for non-residential customers is $0.001654 per kilowatt-hour for distribution service and $0.000161 per kilowatt-hour for transmission service.

Duke Energy Kentucky seeks approval to revise these rates as follows: Duke Energy Kentucky’s monthly DSM rate for residential gas customers would increase to $0.081656 per hundred cubic feet and for non-residential gas customers would remain at $0.000000 per hundred cubic feet. Duke Energy Kentucky’s monthly DSM rate for residential electric customers would decrease to $0.005818 per kilowatt-hour and for non-residential customers would increase to $0.001865 per kilowatt-hour for distribution service and would remain at $0.000161 per kilowatthour for transmission service.

The rate contained in this notice is the rate proposed by Duke Energy Kentucky. However, the Public Service Commission may order a rate to be charged that differs from this proposed rate. Such action may result in a rate for consumers other than the rate in this notice. The foregoing rates refl ect a proposed increase in electric revenues of approximately $0.32 million or 0.10% over current total electric revenues and an increase of $0.02 million or 0.02% over current gas revenues.

A typical residential gas customer using 70 ccf in a month will see an increase of $0.02 or 0.03%. A typical residential electric customer using 1000 kWh in a month will see a decrease of $0.12 or (0.14%). A typical non-residential electric customer using 40 kilowatts and 14,000 kWh will see an increase of $2.95 or 0.26%. Non-residential gas customers and non-residential electric customers served at transmission voltage will see no change in their bills from this application.

Any corporation, association, body politic or person may by motion within thirty (30) days after publication or mailing of notice of the proposed rate changes, submit a written request to intervene to the Public Service Commission, 211 Sower Boulevard, P.O.

What began as phonecalls to a few consumersfrom people pretendingto be with the InternalRevenue Service seekingmoney has ballooned into

a massive fraudwith more than4,000 victims.

The IRS saysnew variations ofthese tax scamsare prompting theagency to issue anew consumeralert. Victimshave reportedlosing more than $20million in the past threeyears as a result of thesescams.

Scammers are stillposing as IRS agents andtargeting the most vul-nerable Americans, suchas older people and new-ly arrived immigrants.Now, the IRS says, thesescammers have expand-ed their net and are tar-geting anyone.

IRS CommissionerJohn Koskinen says,“Scam artists specialize

in being deceptiveand fooling people.The IRS urgestaxpayers to beextra cautious andthink twice beforeanswering suspi-cious phone calls,emails or letters.”

The IRS saysbrazen scammers

are known to have pro-vided victims with direc-tions to the nearest bankor business where thevictim can get money ora debit card. The mostcommon theme withthese tricks seems to befear. They tell the victimhe or she owes back tax-es and the money needsto be paid immediatelyover the phone by debitcard.

To put a scare intopeople they often angrilythreaten police are on the

way to arrest them. Theymay also leave urgentcallback requests threat-ening deportation, li-cense revocation or otherserious consequences.

Emails sent to victimsoften contain a fake IRSdocument with a phonenumber and email ad-dress for the reply. If youreceive such a letterremember the IRS web-site is IRS.Gov. Don’t beconfused with .com, .org.or other designationsother than .gov.
