FLORENCE — After beingclosed for nearly a whole year,Richardson Road bridge couldreopen at the end of August.

Boone County Fiscal Courtspokesman Matt Webster saidtwo issuescauseddelays for re-construction of the bridge overNorfolk-Southern railroadtracks in the Industrial Parkarea on the southeastern edgeof Florence, near the intersec-tion of Richardson Road andU.S. 25, or Dixie Highway.

“Clearly, we’re not on targetto reach the completion date ofAug. 14,” said Webster. “Deliv-ery was delayed on the special-ized lumber they need for therepairs, and there are chal-lenges to working over an ac-tive railroad.”

He said Intech Contractingof Lexington, the constructioncompany that won the bid inMay for $239,855, had to coor-dinate work times that wouldensure safety for railroadworkers and construction per-sonnel.

“They areworking very dili-

gently, and they are close tocompletion,” Webster said.“They were slowed down a lit-tle, but they’re making goodprogress out there.”

Websterdidnotcitea specif-ic completion date, but said heexpects work to be done byAug. 31.

Initially, Boone County offi-cials had hoped the bridgewould be open before July1.

The bridge is located nearthe Boone County/KentonCounty line and is part of a pop-ular route between Independ-ence and Florence.

“I will be glad for it to re-open,” said Mike Boggs, an In-dependence resident whoworks in Florence.

Boggs is assistant managerfor Tom’s Papa Dino’s Pizza onFlorence’s Main Street.

He said the detour compli-cates his commute, but alsomakes it difficult for pizza de-livery drivers to do their jobs.Continuing construction onU.S. 42 in Florence has also af-fected the restaurant.

“Every minute counts whenyou are a family-owned busi-ness,” he said.

The bridge was closed Sept.27, 2013, after Kentucky Trans-portation Cabinet inspectionsshowed significant deterio-ration in the timbercaps,whichare the horizontal beams on topof the supporting posts thebridge deck is laid upon. Thereconstruction requires thedriving surface and deck of thebridge to be removed and re-built with new pavement aswell as new structural sup-ports.

BURLINGTON — The ALS“Ice Bucket Challenge” was atwice-chilled experience forJolene Benedict.

After her husband, Ron,poured a bucket of icy waterover her head, she realizedshe’d forgotten to bring a tow-el outside with her.

“The water was excruciat-ingly cold,” said Benedict,who’s part of a support groupfor a Villa Hills man who hasALS.

“After you get hit with ityou kind of stand there frozenbecause the water’s so cold.”

Lacking a towel, she thenwent inside the house whereshe was hit with a cold blast ofair-conditioning.

In any case, it was good funand for a good cause.

Thisweek she’s begun pass-ing the Ice Bucket Challengealong to friendsand family.Ce-lebrities including Ethel Ken-nedy and Justin Timberlakehave poured a bucket of icewater over their heads andchallenged others to do thesame or make a donation tofight ALS within 24 hours.

With only about half of thegeneral public knowledgeableabout amyotrophic lateralsclerosis (ALS), also known asLou Gehrig’s Disease, the IceBucket Challenge is making aprofound difference, accord-

ing to the ALS Associationwebsite.

Saturday, the ALS Associa-tion announced it has sur-passed $10 million in “IceBucket” donations.

The Kentucky ALS Chapterhas had a 403 percent increasein friends engaged on its Face-

book page, said Mari Bacon,executive director of the Ken-tucky ALS Chapter based inVilla Hills.

“The ALS Association Ken-tucky Chapter is most thrilledabout the fact thatmorepeople

Jolene Benedict is dumped with a bucket of icy water by herhusband, Don, in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.THANKS TO JOLENE BENEDICT

BURLINGTON —Boone County FiscalCourt has hired Mat-thew Webster as thenew government andcommunity relationscoordinator – a spokes-man for the county anda liason for the publicto public services.

Webster, 40, had pre-viously served as an

adminis-trator atThomasMore Col-lege since1999. Fis-cal Courtapprovedthe hiringof Websterat the Aug.

5 meeting. He will startAug. 13.

“We had 211 applica-tions and we inter-viewed seven and Mat-thew was very impres-sive in his interviewsand he has a perfectskill set for this job,”said Judge-executiveGary Moore.

Webster, of Flor-ence, was vice presi-dent for operations andcommunity affairs forThomasMore until this

June. Previously, hehad served as vicepresident for stu-dent services forfive years, dean ofstudents for fiveyears and director ofstudent life for fouryears.

Changing thewords in the respon-sibilities in the col-lege and county jobsfrom student to resi-dent and college tocounty gives Web-ster “an ideal back-ground,” Moore said.

Webster said hislast year at ThomasMore he was work-ing in community re-lations. He also has alaw degree from theBrandeis School ofLaw at the Univer-sity of Louisville.

“So, I have beenworking with theNorthern Kentuckycaucus on issues re-lated to education,and by working withcity council in Crest-view Hills on zoningissues and thingslike that,” he said.

The communityrelations work andhis training as a law-yer are both trans-ferable skills, Web-ster said.

“I don’t know howyou do any job with-out a law degree inmy past from stu-dent discipline tocontract negotia-tions,” he said.

Rickert said the boardis improving studentachievement by puttingresources to further thatgoal. “Iwant to stay on theboard to keep the focus ofthe board on studentachievement and provid-ing innovative opportuni-ties,” she said.

Having legal experi-ence helped her read andlearn about the district’spolicies and procedures,Rickert said.

isaRyleHighSchoolgrad-uate, and is a Volunteer InPolice Service (VIPS) forthe Florence Police De-partment. This is his firstcandidacy for any electedoffice. For information,visit aarongillum.com.

The board needs toreach out to the publicmore before reaching de-cisions or making conclu-sions, he said.

The board needs to bet-ter represent the publicwith better communica-tion, Gillum said. “I thinkthere needs to be moretransparency,” he said.

Many decisions abouteducation are made at thefederalandstate level, butthe local board still has astrong say in how districtis operated, Gillum said.

UNION — PlantationPointe, a neighborhoodconcerned about a stringof home burglaries andcar break-ins this sum-mer, can point to at leastone case solved thanks totwo shoeless and shirtlessmiddle-agedmen.

Richie Abercrombieslept lightly the night ofJuly17 because hewantedto get up at 4 a.m. towatchtheBritishOpengolf tour-nament. Something wokehim at 3:30 a.m., but hedidn’t see anything out-side. He went downstairsand took to the couch untilthe tourney started.

Another noise, nothingwas there. But when heheard something a thirdtime he went to the backwindow and saw “a kid”going between the homes.

Abercrombie grabbedhis keys and ran down thestreet, barefoot and with-out a shirt on. Meanwhile,a Boone County sheriff’sofficial who lives in theneighborhood heard a stiroutside around 4 a.m.

“I heard an unusualnoise. It was a quiet, clearnight and it was a coolnight so I had thewindowsopen,” saidDetectiveJoshQuinn,whoonlyweeksbe-fore had spoken to Planta-tion Pointe residentsaboutformingaNeighbor-hood Watch. “As I lookedout the window, I keephearing a sound but it’s di-minishing in sound. Thenhe looked down the street,and “just like aHollywoodmovie I see a flashlight in

the car. Then a few mo-ments later I see some-body run across the streetwith a bag in their hand.”

Wearing sweatpants,no shirt and no shoes – “Ididn’t think twice aboutit,” Quinn said – hegrabbed his cellphone andran down the street.

Hestoppedandsawthecar that had been brokeninto.Suddenlyacardrivestoward him, and the 42-year-old policeman is mo-mentarily worried.

“I became suspicious,”Quinn said. “The timingwas impeccable. Was thisthe getaway car?”

Looking insidehesawadisheveledman.

The driver was Aber-crombie, who at firstthought Quinn was theburglar. But he quicklyrecognized Quinn fromthe Neighborhood Watchmeeting and knew he waslaw enforcement. Quinn

and Abercrombie sharednotes. Then a third neigh-bor, Ken Brose, yells atthem from 40 or 50 yardsaway. Somebody just gotin a car that is gettingready to take off.

Quinn phoned in the li-cense plate number to thesheriff’s dispatcher andgave a description.

Florencepoliceshowedup at the scene of thebreak-in, then went to theaddress of the first sus-pect, surprised to comehome to policewaiting forhim 45 minutes after theincident.Thesuspectgavehis side of the story, ac-cording to Quinn, then theother suspect was pickedup.AaronStricker,18,wascited for possession ofmarijuana and drug para-phernalia. Randy Bowm-er, 20, was cited for pos-session of marijuana,criminal mischief andbreaking a car window.

A publication of

People in our communitymay knowme as the guy whodoes Lego Town or the guy whodoes programs on Elvis Presleyat nursing homes. I am thatguy. But what they don’t knowis I am also someone who strug-gles with clinical depression.

The suicide of Robin Wil-liams has brought a surge ofattention on depression. Peopleare confused about how some-one who has so much going forhim and who seems to have joyflow from him like water froma fountain could not find thewill to live. It’s hard for peoplewho have never experienced itto understand.

As someone who has experi-

enced it, I wantto tell you thatit can be evenmore confus-ing to us. Ihave an amaz-ing family, ajob I love, andwonderfulopportunitiesto serve mycommunity. Iam outgoing,confident,

fun-loving, and often the life ofthe party. And a few weeks ago,my doctor and I were trying tofigure out why I was constantlycrying and struggling with thewill to live.

Robin Williams was a verygiving person. He was a ded-icated USO volunteer andworked hard for several char-ities. I hope in death he canprovide one more valuableservice to the world. I hope hisdeath will help move us signifi-cantly forward in being openabout depression.

I have struggled with de-pression for more than 30years, but only in the past cou-ple of years have I opened up topeople beyond my immediatefamily. It’s time.

It’s time for us to see depres-sion for what it is – an illness. Itis an illness that is as real asasthma or arthritis or any other.

Andmost importantly, it isan illness that can be treated.

I have had others come tome and say they think they maybe suffering from depression,but they are not sure, which inturn makes them reluctant toseek help. I always tell themthe same thing – seek help!Depression, like other illnesses,takes many forms. And byseeking help, you have every-thing to gain and nothing tolose.

Furthermore, counseling isnot just for people with depres-sion or anxiety or other mentalillnesses. Counseling is foranyone who seeks to makethemselves better and stronger.

Think of it like a fitness trainerfor the mind and soul.

I have depression. It is some-thing I would not wish on any-one, but it can be a valuableteacher. One thing I havelearned from depression is thatthe ability we have to reach outto others during our sharedbumpy ride on planet Earth is aprecious gift.

Being open about my depres-sion is not easy, but if it makesa difference to just one otherperson, I am going to shoutabout it.

Aug.14 questionDoyouthinkthere is toomuch,

or not enough, government in-volvement in schools? Where doyou see it?

“I do not think there is toomuch government involvementin schools. However I wouldprefer more government mon-ey and less overlap (overhead).We have federal, state and localschool district involvement.The use of property tax fundingfor school levies was first ruledunconstitutional by the OhioState’s Supreme Court over 15years ago. Levies are failing ev-erywhere in Ohio. Yet no alter-

native has been put in place.”T.D.T.

“Don’t you think there is fartoo much government involve-ment in our schools? I certainly

do. Local school boards, localschool management teams, lo-cal teachers and most impor-tantly localparents (OK,mostofthem, not all) know best what isneeded in our local schools, solet’s eliminate all federal inter-vention and a lot of the state in-tervention too.Whilewe’re at it,let’s eliminate the tenure sys-tem, but that’s anotherwhole is-sue.NoStudentLeftBehindwasand remains one of the most ill-conceivedprogramsfor schoolsand has gravely injured theoverall level andquality of actu-al educating in our schools.”

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONShould schools continue toteach cursive writing? Why orwhy not?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers to [email protected] with Ch@troomin the subject line.

July 9 marked an importantstep forward for workforcedevelopment.

In an increasingly rare bi-cameral, bipartisan display ofcollaboration from Congress,the Workforce Investment andOpportunity Act (WIOA)passed both chambers andreauthorized the nation’s larg-est single source of federalfunding for workforce devel-opment efforts. It was sub-sequently signed into law byPresident Barack Obama onJuly 22.

Originally passed in 1998,the Workforce Investment Actestablished the One-Stop cen-ter system. This national net-work is administered locallyand tailored to meet state andregional needs. However, theprogram expired in 2013 andhas been due for reauthoriza-tion ever since. With 4,811 jobopenings in the eight-countyregion of Northern Kentuckyas of July 10, workforce devel-opment programs are essentialto our success.

TheWIOA authorizationincludes a number of greatchanges and will help ImpactNKY, the 501(c)(3) affiliate ofthe Northern Kentucky Cham-ber, to accelerate its Work-force Development efforts inthe areas of advocacy, increas-ing the skilled talent pipelineand data collection.

Here are highlights of a fewof the changes:

» State and Local Plans:WIOA requires a single statestrategic plan that covers all ofthe key programs included inthe bill. The plan will provideoverall strategy for workforcedevelopment while detailinghow the strategy will meetidentified skill needs for work-ers, job seekers, and employ-ers. In turn, local plans will be

aligned withthe strategyoutlined in thestate plan anddescribe howlocal serviceswill be de-signed to meetregional needs.

» Perfor-mancemea-sures:WIOAcreates a sin-gle set of com-

monmeasures for adultsacross all core programs. Thisincludes training, adult educa-tion programs, and a variancefor all youth programs. Adultmetrics include: employmentrate, employment retentionrate, median earnings, creden-tial rate, measurable job skillsand a new employer engage-ment measure.

Through a combination ofupdating existing metrics andadding new ones, the processadds more accountability tothe program. The changescould have a strong impact oncreating an employer-centricapproach that ensures employ-er needs are being met.

» One-Stop centers:WIOArequires state boards to createcriteria for local boards toevaluate effectiveness, acces-sibly and improvement of One-Stop centers every three years.

» Employment and Train-ing Activities:WIOA also in-dicates an interest in seeing anumber of existing best prac-tices adopted or expanded.These include: career path-ways, industry or sector part-nerships, and an increasedfocus on the attainment ofindustry-recognized certif-icates and credentials linked toin-demand occupations.

Fortunately, the NorthernKentuckyWorkforce Invest-

ment Board(NKWIB) hasalready imple-mented thesebest practices.The NKWIBidentifiedadvanced man-ufacturing,energy, healthcare, informa-tion technol-ogy, logistics/transportation

and services as the in-demandcareers for our region.

The NKWIB’s One Stop/Career Center system operatesaccording to these recognizedsectors by providing careerpathway services leading toindustry-recognized certif-icates and credentials. Bypartnering with industry pro-fessionals in these key indus-tries as well as educationalinstitutions, our region hasalready adopted this approach.

Workforce availability andquality will be the drivingfactor in economic prosperity.We want to applaud those inWashington who came togetherto offer added predictabilityand accountability to the feder-al programwhile still main-taining local control. By allow-ing us to focus on the sectorsthat most impact the NorthernKentucky region and puttingemployer needs at the fore-front, we will be able to getmore people the training theyneed for viable, well-payingjobs.

Between 1869 and 1880,Walton, Kentucky saw tworailroads snort through theirlittle village.

The town was alreadysituated on the stagecoachroute between Covington andLexington on the CovingtonLexington Pike. The two rail-roads crossed above theGaines Tavern north of town.

A skew bridge takes theSouthern RR (originally builtin 1870s as the Cincinnati,New Orleans & Texas Pacific)over the older L&N line (builtin the late 1860s as the Ken-tucky Central RR). The South-ern RRmaintained a depot onthe east side of Main Streetnear Masonic Hall and onChurch Street. The L&NcrossedMain Street at gradein the north end of town andhad its depot on Depot Streetnear the Walton Branch of theBoone County Public Library.

Both depots disappearedlong ago when local rail pas-senger service dried up withthe advent of better roads andthe auto. That having beensaid, rail traffic seems asgreat today as it was duringthe passenger heyday. I mightadd that trains on both rail-roads waste little time gettingthrough town, nor do theyspare the decibels with theirhorns, warning all and sundryof their right of way.

In the days of horse andbuggy, folks from sections farfrom the railroad did well tocontrol their sometimes fren-zied horses – not to mentionsmall children, who had neverseen, heard or smelled a livelocomotive – and it was a“living” thing. The locomotiveradiated heat, sound and im-portance to all those verynear and spoke meaningfullyof its presence and approachto those farther away.

Even when idling in thestation while loading/unload-

ing, the gen-tle pant of theair compres-sor hinted atthe greatpower thereat the beckand call ofthe engineer,making hisinspection ofhis dozingengine. Thenthere was the

conductor in livery with hispocket watch in hand, readyto cry “All Aboard” – andyou’d better be on or off thetrain when you heard it.

Those who remember thesteam locomotives are nostal-gic recalling the heavychufff-chufff of an engineworking hard up a grade orstarting a heavy train. Thatcontrasted to the high-step-ping passenger trains like theSouthern’s Queen & CrescentLimited skipping down thetracks with the gentle click-ing of the wheels on the railjoints sometimes audible formiles. There the heavy chuff-chuff gave way to a lighter,much faster cadence to de-light the ear and sooth thenerves.

Then, the mournful wail ofthe distant whistle telling usthat someone was on watcheven in the dead of night ...and that all was right with theworld.

UNION — The Cooper HighSchool football team has en-joyed the thrill of a state cham-pionship game in its short exis-tence, and is now experiencingthe work it takes to get back tothat level.

The Jaguars were 3-8 lastyear, although five of thoselosses were by 11 points or lessincluding three heartbreakingdistrict defeats. Cooper will ex-perience some transition thisfall as it returnsonly threestart-ers on offense and two on de-fense. “We feel like we’re get-tingbettereveryday,” saidheadcoach Randy Borchers. “We areyoung. This is one of the mostcompetitive offseasons we’vehad as far as battling for posi-tions. We got a lot we have towork on. With having such ayoung team we’re looking forleadership and kids who canfight through adversity. We’renotmentally there yet.”

Whileexperienceisevolving,the potential is bright.

“With over 70 players on thevarsity roster there is a greateropportunity to play more kidsone way which should help uswin more games in the fourthquarter,”Borcherssaid. “Weex-pect tobeveryathletic in ourof-fensive skill positions andmorephysicalon thedefensivesideofthe ball.”

The lineswill be the strengthof the team in the preseason,

particularly on offense, wheretheyard-gainerswillmostlybeadifferent cast of characters.Cooper graduated standoutquarterbackWillLudwig, its topthree receivers and top runningback.

Three Jaguars are vying totakethesnapsundercenterasof

Aug.14:SeniorBillyPrickett, ju-nior Nathan Brown and sopho-moreDanteHendrix.

“They all bring somethingdifferent to the table,”Borcherssaid. “They all have positivesand things theyneed towork on.That has been fun to watch de-velop. Each time we have those

guys in we learn somethingnew.”

Cooper brings back speedand athleticism in junior run-ning back Torey Cordell-Arm-strong, who rushed for 333yards and two touchdowns lastyear. He is 5-foot-8, 160 pounds.Senior Stephen Shelton, 6-0, 210,

is a returning starter on the line,which has two other returnerswho had significant playingtime last season. Junior linemenElliot Smith andMarcusWatsonanchor the defense. They com-bined for 113 tackles and threesacks last season. Borchers waslooking forward to a big scrim-mage test againstDixieHeightsand athletic, play-making quar-terback Drew Moore, one ofNorthern Kentucky’s top re-turningsignal-callers.Borcherswas anxious to see how his de-fensewould stack up. The oppo-nents are the same as last year,starting with nearby rival RyleAug. 22 at home. Cooper thenhostsNewportCentral Catholic,whomtheJaguarsbeat lastyear.

UNION — The Mike Englerera is here at Ryle, and Raiderfans will see how well his high-octane offense kicks in duringhis first season as head coach.

“Things are going reallywell,” he said earlier in the sum-mer. “The kids are going reallyhard and they’re picking up thescheme. It’s a fun teamto coach.They seem to be wanting tolearn and I think we may sur-prise some teams this year.”

Engler’s main goal this fall isto install his offensive schemein Union. That offense helpedLexington Catholic to a lot ofwins and points scored when hewas offensive coordinator andhead coach there, eventuallywinning two state champion-ships. LC was 218-68 while hewas there, and LexCath QBsthrew formore than 3,500 yardsand 41 touchdowns last season.

The Raiders return a lot ofexperience from last year’s 2-9team, and many returning play-ers received playing time in2013 due to injuries.

Theoffensive linewillbekey,especially with the fast pace ofthe new scheme. The Raidersreturn four starters up front inLogan Ross, Tucker Teepen,Nick Yowan and Tristan Hall.

Senior Ryan Rytlewski re-turns at quarterback. He com-pleted 27 passes last year in 64attempts for 331 yards and twoTDs.

“He is catching on prettyquick and learning the system,”Engler said. “He has gonethrough a lot of camps andthings and he understands a lotof that. The biggest aspect is ex-perience.”

Returningtargetsatreceiverinclude Grant Arnwine, GrantBeagle and Jaret Pogliano. Col-lin England and Mitchell Bate-man return at running back.England had 441 yards total of-fense last year.

MikeWoolf returns as defen-sivecoordinator, andthatsideofthe ball promises to match thespeed and intensity of the of-fense with blitzes and fast pace,which Engler said Ryle willneed because it lacks size onthat side of the ball.

Returning in the secondaryare Alex Brownell, GavinBrandt, Nick Townsend andDa-vid Rich. Johnny Meiman andJon Belk return at linebacker.

Overall, Ryle’s preseasonroster listed 78 players, whichEngler considers a success. Oneof his main summer goals wasbuilding roster depth so as fewplayers as possible play on bothsides of the ball.

Depth will be needed againsta tough schedule, starting withlocal rival Cooper Aug. 22. Rylethen hosts defending Class 6Astate champion Scott County onAug. 29, then travels to one ofCincinnati’s top programs inSycamore on Sept. 5.

“We are coming off two con-secutive losing seasons, so wemust learnhowtowinat thevar-sity level,” Engler said.

Ryle will host CovingtonCatholic as well in between itsfour games in the traditionallybalanced Northern Kentucky6A district.

VERONA — Typical of smallschools, the Walton-VeronaHigh School football teamdoesn’t have a lot of depth.

Talent and experience are inbig supply for the Bearcats,whowere9-3 last yearand37-21overall for head coach JeffBarth.W-Vlost toNewportCen-tral Catholic 36-0 in the secondround of the Class 2A playoffs.

“The big thing with every-body is to stayhealthyandeligi-ble andmake surewe’re able toachieve things,” Barth said.“We can achieve some bigthings this year but we have tostay focused.”

Most crucially, the Bearcatsare strong and experienced inthe trenches, which excites thehead coach.

“I love the fact we have fourout of five offensive linemenback and the one who’s not is asharp young man who is pick-

ing things up well,” Barth said.“Any time you have questionmarks up front you’re going tohave question marks through-out the season. If you can gointo a season firm up front, therest takes care of itself.”

The offensive line returnsfour starters, which will be keyfor consistency this season.Da-vidCarr, JoeyCoomerandDan-nyMartinareseniors returningup front with junior Noah Mar-tin.

The defense returns sevenstarters from last year and areled by three returning seniorlinemen in Carr, Coomer andCody Catlett. Carr had 58 tack-les and 6.5 sacks last season.Catlett had 53 tackles.

Senior Mason Compton andsophomore Hunter Ruber re-turn at linebacker, and seniorRyan Martin and junior NoahRichardson come back as start-ers in the secondary. Ruber

posted 57 tackles.“As a small school, we may

not have a ton of guys. Butwe’ve got some really goodplayers, and there are morebacks behind us,” said Comp-ton.

Compton was a workhorselast season from the backfield,rushing for 1,155 yards and 14touchdowns. Senior JustinKline returns under center af-ter throwing for1,061yards and12 TDs in 2013, both school rec-ords.

Chris Latimore’s explosive-ness and big-play ability leftwithhisgraduation,butbrotherWill Latimore has the same po-tential and returns to the lineupfor his senior year. He had 542yards total offense last yearwith five TDs after a big 2012.

Compton and Latimore areset to share backfield dutieswith their “thunder-and-light-ning” approach. The big, phys-

ical Compton and speedy Lati-more can both chase W-V rush-ing records this season if theystay healthy.

“It’s a1-2 punch,”Barth said.“They’ve both had huge years.Latimore had a huge sopho-more year, but last year was adisappointment. Comptonstepped in and had a huge ju-nior year. Now, they’re bothseniors. Latimore is a changedguy, and Compton’s still Comp-ton. We don’t want teams com-ing in and saying they’re goingto stop Compton or they’re go-ing to stop Latimore. They’llhave to stop both, the wholegame. And we’ve got one tokeep the other fresh withoutlosing anything.”

No matter what those backsdo, Barth knows the Bearcats

won’t be successful without awell-rounded and healthy teamaround them.

“We have to work on ourdepth,” he said. “We play agamewherepeople aregoing toget injured.Weneed to have ca-pable backups at those posi-tions. It’s tough to know whatyou have until you get that firstscrimmage in (Aug. 15 againstHenryCounty).Basketball, youget a lot of scrimmages andAAU games, football you getone scrimmage. “

W-V hosts Bellevue Aug. 22to start the season andwill haveHomecoming Sept. 5. W-V was3-1 in the district last year, goodfor second place.

HEBRON — Drew Barkertook his quarterbacking skillsand his name to theUniversityof Kentucky, where the 2014Conner High School graduatehas been making waves withtheWildcats football program.

By himself,Barkerwould behard to replacefor the Cougars,who went 8-4last year. But hehad a lot of grad-uates go withhim when lastseason ended.Conner only re-turns three

starters on each side of theball for the 2014 season.

“One of the things about usover the past six years is thatwe’ve had a lot of turnover,”said head coach David Trosp-er. “It’s gone a little unnoticedbecausewe’vehadsomereallygood players returning in oursenior class (each year). Wehave some quality players re-turning. The biggest thing iswe don’t have awhole lot of ex-perience. We have guys step-ping up and they’re learningevery single day. It will be awork in progress every weekbut these guys are going tosurprise some people.”

Returning starters are sen-ior running back/linebackerJacob Warwick, senior widereceiver Michael Postel andjunior runningback/defensiveIsaiah Ebarb.

Warwick scored two touch-downs last year and was a de-

fensive force with 92 tackles.“He is a very physical playerthat will not only be able toplay a lot of spots but his lead-ership will fuel our team,”Trosper said. “Jacob’s been atwo-year starter mainstay atmiddle linebacker for us.”

“We really came together(in camp),” Warwick said. “Wegot a lot of experiencewe haveto gain, but I started out as asophomore too and I think I’veturned out all right, so I thinkthey’ll do pretty good. The old-er guys always made it fun for

us younger guys, so I’m goingto try to do the same thing.”

Postel had268yards receiv-ing last season and is a veryphysical player. Tyler Wilsonhad six grabs last year and ispoised to step up as well.

“It’s one ofmy goals to keepthe tradition going. Have funwith the team and go out onFridaynights anddo our best,”Postel said. “We all come in ev-ery day with a positive atti-tude, ready to play and im-prove ourselves in everyway.”

Top new contributors startwith junior receiver/defen-sive back Tanner Nyers andsophomoresCodyBuckler andElijah Boyd, who will be an-chors in the secondary.

The offense is a hard-work-ing unit that is strong in theskill positions. The defense isstrong at linebacker. The linesare a preseason concern onboth sides of the ball.

And about Barker: As ofAug. 14, two players were vy-ing to take his job in seniorJeff Martin and junior Kyler

Padgett.“We have to focus on being

leaders and show the teamwe’re both ready,” Martinsaid. “It’s a lot of pressure. Alot of people talk about it.We’re not as good as him butwe’re going to try our best tobe ready. We’re going try aquicker pace, try to tire ouropponents down, score asmany touchdowns as we can.”

The Conner offense hopesto keep scoring plenty ofpoints, which would help cov-er up youthful indiscretions asthey try to score more pointsthan the opponent.

“The biggest thing is expe-rience,” Trosper said. “Wehave to get guys ready to go,fast. We just have to build onmistakes and not make thesamemistake over and over. Ifyou’re making the same mis-take, you’re not getting better.We have to correct those mis-takes and move on.”

and played well in Boone’sscrimmage against Louis-ville Butler.

“(We) will try to re-bound after an 0-11 cam-paign in 2013,” coach Grif-fith said. “We’recautiouslyoptimistic of having somesuccess with the return ofquarterback Jamar Lamb.In order to have a success-ful season, we will need tostay healthy and continueto improve in the secondyear of new offensive anddefensive schemes.”

Offensive productionwill be crucial, as the Re-belsscored indoubledigitsonly once in their firsteight games, andonly oncehadmore than 17 points asthey averaged just 10points a game.

Figueroa,MichaelBaci-galupo and Deshaun Pick-ett are seniors who will bethree of the top targets inthe offense. Juniors DylonBishopandJakeDamasch-ko,andsophomoreRondellDouglas are also in themix.

Senior running backJerry Marshall returns,

bringing a tough but quickrunningstyletotheRebels’spread offense. Boone re-turns only one starter ontheoffensive line,abigonein Bowling, a 6-foot-3, 280-pound presence, and alsohas a young receivingcorps, but Griffith feelsthe talent and potential arethere.

Thedefense is in transi-tion as well, with Figueroaleading the way. AmadouDiaw leads the secondary.Others to watch includelinebackers ChandlerFeinhaur, Jacob Schlar-man and Isaiah Jackson;and senior lineman RavonFoster.

The schedule is thesame opponents as lastyear, with CovingtonCatholic and 5A countyfoesConnerandCooper. Inaddition to its four 6A dis-trict foes, Boone will playLexington teams La-fayette, Henry Clay andLexington Catholic, thesame as 2013.

COVINGTON — BruceKozerski returns for his12th season as headcoach. Kozerski, the for-mer Bengals offensivelineman,seeksareturntoglory at Holy Cross afterthe teamwent 1-10 a yearago.

The lone win was overBrossart, and the Indiansfell 26-19 to GallatinCounty in the first roundof the Class 2A playoffs.Holy Cross also had atough district loss toNewport in overtime, 37-36.

The Indians return sixstarters each on offenseand defense butwill haveto replace its top playerin running back JalenBeal, who rushed for1,354 yards and scored 17of the 27 touchdowns ac-cumulated by the Indianslast year.

Top returnees startwith junior quarterback/defensive back HamiltonScott, junior receiver/de-fensivebackDamienSer-rano, senior offensivelinemanRickZion, senioroffensive lineman MikeGerrein, senior two-waylineman Justin Gang-wish, senior linebackerBraxtonFoote andsopho-more running back/line-backer Xavier Aber-nathy.

Scott threw for 470yards a year ago andrushed for 495 in his firstyear under center. Aber-nathy rushed for 428yards.

With the athletic Scottayearwiserundercenterin the spread attack andwith several large line-men in front of him, and

at the front of the 4-3 de-fensive scheme, thecoach believes he has agood foundation for suc-cess.

“We will mix a groupof senior linemen that weneed to be the heart ofthis team with a verygood group of under-classmen that we need totake the ball and run,”Kozerski said. “Successby the stats will be seenthrough the youngerplayers, but our linemenmust lead.”

Key leadership re-sponsibilities fall toGangwish, Gerrein andZion and senior tight end/defensive lineman DavidLampke.Gangwish, a 6-5,245-pound masher,Lampke, Scott and Serra-no are two-way starters.Foote is a leading return-ing tackler followed byjunior linebacker JoeWilder.

Holy Cross starts theseasonwith rival HolmesAug. 22, thenhosts SimonKenton Aug. 29 andBeechwood Sept. 12. All2014 opponents are thesame as last year.

If youcould seemy herbgarden andcount thenumber ofvarietiesof basil,you’d needmore than10 fingers.I love them

all, but when it comes tomaking pesto, I use thesweet green, commonbasil or its cousin, Geno-vese.

This is the time ofyear to make pesto, whenbasil is abundant. Therecipe I’m sharing is athicker pesto meant tofreeze well and is the oneI’ve been getting re-

quests for.The question I get

asked most is if nuts areessential. No, and wal-nuts make a good sub-stitute for pine nuts. Ihave a reader who makesit with almonds, as well.

Should you add garlicbefore freezing? I addboth nuts and garlic tomy pesto prior to freez-

ing, but some food ex-perts leave them outsince, in their opinion,these items turn strongin the freezer. They addthem to the thawed pesto.

I use my food proces-sor, but you could use ablender or make this byhand. Add more oil afterthawing, if you like. Adda little water when usingit to coat pasta.

Rita’s freezer pesto1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons

garlic, minced1/4 cup pine nuts,

toasted if desired1/2 stick unsalted but-

ter (optional but good)Generous handful

parsley leaves4 generous cups basil

leaves, packed1-1/4 cups Parmesan

cheese or to taste1/4 cup Romano

cheese1/2 to 3/4 cup extra

virgin olive oilGenerous squeeze of

lemon juiceWith processor’s mo-

tor running, add garlic

and nuts. Add everythingelse and using the pulsebutton, pulse until justmixed, then pour intocontainers and freeze.

Tip fromRita’s kitchen:

Why does my pestoturn dark?

Sometimes the toplayer of my pesto turns abit dark in the freezer.That doesn’t bother me,but here are some ideasthat may alleviate theproblem. I’ve tried themall and sometimes they

work, and sometimesthey don’t. But the dark-er color is only on the topand doesn’t affect qualityor taste.

» Basil oxidizes/turnsdark rapidly when leavesare cut up either toofinely and/or exposed toair, so use the pulse but-ton to mix. That alsoalleviates heat whileprocessing, which canturn the basil dark.

» Blanch the basilleaves to keep themgreen.

» Add parsley andlemon juice to keep thegreen color.

» Pouring a thin filmof oil over the top beforestoring may keep air out.

Health benefitsof basil:Besides containing

iron, calcium and vitaminA, this member of themint family also containsnutrients that improveblood flow and help stopcholesterol from oxidiz-ing in the blood stream. Abasil steam facial iscleansing and calming.

Fruited gluten-freebaked oatmeal

Baked oatmeal is thenewest trend for break-fast, or really any meal.

Reader Michelle fromWhite Oak shared thiswhich she tore out of anewspaper in the doctor’soffice. I told her she’s notalone. I have to admitthat I’ve guiltily andhopefully secretly donethat myself. Here’s myadaptation.

1 cup oats, old fash-ioned or quick oats

1/2 cup chopped nuts1/2 teaspoon baking

powder

Whip up pesto, try a breakfast trend

Delta Airlines ischanging its SkyMilesProgrambeginning Jan. 1,andwhether you’ll likethe changes depends onthe length of the trips youtake.

Delta will beginawarding SkyMiles basedon the cost of the airlineticket and the fare-classrather than the distanceflown.Medallionmem-berswill earnmoremilesper dollar thanGeneralMembers, whowill getfivemiles per dollar paid.

SilverMedallionmem-bers get sevenmiles perdollar paid, Gold getseightmiles, Platinumgetsninemiles andDiamondgets11miles. Delta co-brandedAmex creditcards still earn twomilesper dollar spent.

So, if you’re flyingfromCincinnati, onceagain ranked as having

the highestairlineticketpricesamong thenation’s100largestairports,those high-er fareswill get youmore Sky-

Miles on shorter flights.However, long-haul

flights are an entirelydifferent story. Fly fromCVG to Los Angeles nowfor $404 and you’ll get3,800 SkyMiles – but thenew program only givesyou 2,020 SkyMiles.

While Delta says it’slowering themiles re-quired for a frequentflyer ticket, the economyclass 25,000mile ticketwon’t change. But, therewill bemoremileagelevels added to an econo-

my class domestic ticket.SkyMiles points neededfor some overseas awardtickets will see the pointsrequired for some levelsgo down a little.

Another change in theprogram allows you topaymiles and cash for anairline ticket. If, for in-stance, you don’t have35,000 points to pay for aticket, you can pay 25,000points plus $159.

Due to the weather ittook a while for tomatoesto ripen this year. Now,however, they may beproducing faster thanyou can use them fresh.Consider freezing themfor use later in the year.

Frozen tomatoes canbe used in soups, stews,casseroles and othercooked dishes. The flavorwill beat any commercialcanned tomato you mighttypically use.

Tomatoes do not haveto be blanched beforefreezing. You may chooseto peel them or not. Toprepare tomatoes for thefreezer consider howthey will be used in reci-

pes; pre-pare andpack themaccording-ly.

Be sureto removeany badspots fromtomatoesbeforefreezing.Those with

portions removed shouldbe peeled without dip-ping in boiling water.

To easily peel whole,unblemished tomatoesbring a large pot of waterto a boil. Cut a small “x”in the bottom of eachtomato. Place the tomato

in the boiling water for 15to 45 seconds. Riper to-matoes usually peel easi-ly and may not need thehot water dip. Removethe tomatoes from theboiling water and plungethem into cold or icewater to stop the cookingprocess. Remove themfrom the cold water andeasily slip the skin fromthe tomato.Remove thecores and chop, dice orslice the tomatoes. Packthe pieces into freezersafe containers leavingroom for expansion. La-bel, date and place in thefreezer.

You may wish to cookyour tomatoes into a

thicker sauce beforefreezing. To do so, re-move the peel and core.Quarter or dice the toma-toes. Cook until soft,stirring frequently toprevent burning. Whenthe tomatoes are thedesired consistency,allow them to cool. Por-tion into freezer-safecontainers leaving roomfor expansion. Label,

date and place in thefreezer.

Small cherry or grapetomatoes should bewashed and placed in afreezer-safe containerwithout peeling.

Don’t forget the Plateit Up Kentucky ProudChallenge 2014 that runsthrough Aug. 31. Infor-mation available at http://tinyurl.com/PIUChal-

lenge 2014. Tomatoescount in the challengeand can be used in sever-al Plate it Up recipes.

DianeMasonEXTENSIONNOTES

Question: I justmoved into a place herein Northern Kentucky,and I would love to havea fall vegetable garden ifit’s not too late! Can yougive me some tips onwhat I could still plant?

Answer: There is stilltime to plant a few thingswithout winter protectionor many more if youconstruct a simple coldframe or just cover thecrops with some kind offrost protection. It is nottoo late to continue toenjoy the garden and addnew plantings. A varietyof produce can be grownin Northern Kentuckygardens in the comingweeks, allowing freshitems to be available wellinto the fall.

You need to plant let-tuce seeds right away fora fall harvest. Try someof the red, purple, yellowor spotted varieties foradded color and fun. Inaddition, go ahead andplant seed now for mus-tard greens, turnipgreens and beet greens.Also, between now andSept. 1, make two stag-

geredplantingsof spinach.Betweennow andSept. 15,makeweeklyplantingsof radishseeds for aprolongedharvest

throughout the fall.After planting the

crops mentioned above,it’s time to build a simplecoldframe. All you needis four boards (2 inch by12 inch) for the sides, andsome kind of clear plasticor glass covering for theroof. Old glass slidingdoors or old double-panewindows work great forthis.

Build your base to fitthe glass or plastic roof.Make the length what-ever you want, but keepthe width to about 4 feetso you can easily reachthe middle of the bedfrom each side withoutclimbing into the cold-frame. Put this “emptysandbox” on the ground,

dig up the soil, and plantin it. You can add somecompost or potting mix ifyou want. This will beyour cold frame.

Now, inside your cold-frame, you can plant allsorts of cool-season veg-gies: carrots, kale, col-lards, Bibb lettuce, tur-nips, kohlrabi, Chinesecabbage, Brusselssprouts, cabbage, cauli-flower, broccoli, spinach,radishes, turnips, beets,parsley, snow peas andleaf lettuce.

You will enjoy har-vesting up until Christ-mas, and many of thesecrops will actually sur-vive the winter (depend-ing on its severity) andstart growing again inFebruary andMarch foran April harvest. If youvent the roof about oneinch, your coldframe willnever get too hot. Other-wise, if it is kept closed,the temperature insidewill climb to 100 degreeson a sunny January day.Ventilation is essential.

The ONLY Funeral Home & Cemetery Combination in Northern Kentucky

NOTICEPlease take notice that Duke Energy Kentucky, Inc. has applied to the Kentucky Public Service Commission for approval torevise its Demand Side Management (DSM) rate for electric service and gas service for residential and commercial customersand add new products for its DSM program available to customers. Duke Energy Kentucky’s current monthly DSM rate forresidential gas customers is $0.054918 per hundred cubic feet (ccf) and for non-residential gas customers is $0.000000 perhundred cubic feet. Duke Energy Kentucky’s current monthly DSM rate for residential electric customers is $0.003062 perkilowatt-hour (kWh) and for non-residential customers is $0.001128 per kilowatt-hour for distribution service and $0.000848per kilowatt-hour for transmission service.

Duke Energy Kentucky seeks approval to revise these rates as follows: Duke Energy Kentucky’s monthly DSM rate forresidential gas customers would increase to $0.055020 per hundred cubic feet and for non-residential gas customers wouldremain at $0.000000 per hundred cubic feet. Duke Energy Kentucky’s monthly DSM rate for residential electric customerswould increase to $0.003094 per kilowatt-hour and for non-residential customers would increase to $0.001249 per kilowatt-hourfor distribution service and would remain at $0.000848 per kilowatt-hour for transmission service.

The rate contained in this notice is the rate proposed by Duke Energy Kentucky. However, the Public Service Commission mayorder a rate to be charged that differs from this proposed rate. Such action may result in a rate for consumers other than the ratein this notice. The foregoing rates reflect a proposed increase in electric revenues of approximately $329 thousand or 0.10% overcurrent total electric revenues and an increase of $6 thousand or 0.01% over current gas revenues.

A typical residential gas customer using 70 ccf in a month will see an increase of $0.01 or 0.01%. A typical residential electriccustomer using 1000 kWh in a month will see an increase of $0.03 or 0.03%. A typical non-residential electric customer using40 kilowatts and 14,000 kWh will see an increase of $01.69 or 0.13%. Non-residential gas customers and non-residentialelectric 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 noticeof the proposed rate changes, submit a written request to intervene to the Public Service Commission, 211 Sower Boulevard,P.O. Box 615, Frankfort, Kentucky 40602, and shall set forth the grounds for the request including the status and interest of theparty.

BAPTIST


FLORENCE—Robert D.Hudson says he gave upcoachingbasketballwhenhis 14-year-old daughterstarted playing the gamebetter thanhe could teachher.

Based on that criteria,he might have to give upwriting next.

Lauren Hudson is hisco-author on an award-winning book on capital-ism that vaulted her intocelebrity status after ap-pearances on the JohnStossel Show and FoxBusiness Network.

“Young kids like mybrother and me aren’tlearning about capitalismin school,” Lauren toldmembers of the FlorenceRotary Club at a meetingon June 2. “Dad asked if Imight like to write a bookon it with him last sum-mer. I thought he was in-sane!”

The summer projectturned into a family af-fair andevolved into “OurBest Tomorrow: StudentsTeaching Capitalism toAmerica.” Lauren, a stu-dent at Turkey Foot Mid-dle School in Erlanger,wrote a story about threefictional students whocreated their own busi-nesses after college and“learned through capital-ism how to help othershave a better life.”

“Lauren’s story iswhathooks the young people,”her father said.

Robert Hudson blend-ed in the history of capi-talism, agrandfather con-tributed here and thereand wife and mother Me-lissa handled the editing.“Our Best Tomorrow”

subsequently won BestBusiness Book at theGreat Southeast BookFestival, took HonorableMention at the Los Ange-les Book Festival andemerged as an AmazonNo. 1 Best Seller for BestFreeEnterpriseBook andBest Current EventsBook.

Robert Hudson, a part-ner in Frost Brown Todd,

earlier wrote “Better To-morrow: Fighting forCapitalism and Jobs inthe Heartland.” He wantsyoung people to learnthree essentials aboutcapitalism from thebooks:

» free enterprise cre-ates jobs, money for gov-ernment services andfunds for charity;

» capitalism is not im-

moral, and it canhelppeo-ple improve their lives byproviding things peoplewant and need;

» and taxes and regu-lations (and maybe evensomedebt) help to bolsterthe economy.

“When those go too faris when it hurts (Ameri-ca’s) potential,” RobertHudson said. “Under-standing how the econo-

my works is an essentialpart of citizenship.

“If you understandhow the economy worksand apply criticalthought, you can makewise decisions about reg-ulations. It’s the humanelement that mattersmost.”

Capitalism now is aregular part of the con-versation at the Hudson

dinner table. A compan-ion book about Americanexceptionalism is in theworks, and Lauren iswarming to the businessof writing.

“I love towrite and I al-ways wanted to write abook that someone wouldactually want to buy,” shesaid.

No more coachingneeded, Dad.

It’s true. Regular oil changes, tune-ups and maintenance can help improve your vehicle’s performance and gasmileage, extend its life and increase its resale value. It can also help reduce traffic congestion due to preventablebreakdowns. But possibly most important of all, taking good care of your car could help reduce emissions bymore than half. And that should make you breathe a lot easier between oil changes. So keep it up because…
