BACK TO SCHOOLStudents prepare for a new schoolyear. A9

FORT THOMAS — Parentsdropping off children at the FortThomas Independent Schoolsthis year will notice somechanges to drop off areas andparking.

In an effort to improve stu-dent safety and reduce traffic is-sues, district officials have beenworking with city officials to de-velopa traffic flowplanat four of

thedistrict’s fiveschools, saidSu-perintendent Gene Kirchner.

“It’s really a challenge be-causeof thenatureof thecommu-nity and the fact thatwedon’t busstudents to and from school,”Kirchner said. “We are takingsteps to address traffic issues thebest we can.”

City and school officials havelaid out a plan to prohibit and lim-it parking in certain areas sur-rounding the schools to allow forsafer, easier drop off and pick up

of students.City Administrator Donald

Martin said throughoutmeetingswith school representatives, thenumber one goal was to improvethe safety of students.

“We want to make sure wedon’t havekidsgettingout of carsin the middle of the street,” Mar-tin said.”Our second goal was toimprove the traffic slow aroundthe school in the morning and af-ternoon, when it’s often almost ata standstill, making it difficult to

get around town at certaintimes.”

Martin said thecityandschoolalso tried to make changes thatwouldn’t negatively effect theresidents in each of the areas.

» At Woodfill ElementarySchool, parking will no longer beallowed on either side ofWoodfillAvenue at any time.

» At Moyer ElementarySchool, parking will not be al-lowed in a designated area in thefront of the apartments across

the street from the school from7:30-9 a.m. and 2:30-4 p.m.

Kirchner said the district isworking with the Kentucky De-partment of Education to get per-mission to construct a drop-offloop thatwill godownJamesAve-nue, then behind and around theschool.

Kirchner said is all goes well,he hopes to have thenewdrop-offin use before Christmas, easing

Academic excellence is notonly important to to the Myers/McGhee family of TaylorMill, it’sa tradition.

In the past five years, all fourgrandchildren in the family havebeen chosen to participate in ei-ther the Governor’s Scholar Pro-gram (GSP) or the Governor’sSchool for the Arts (GSA).

“They all come froma long lineof educators on both sides of theirfamily, so education has alwaysbeen an important part of theirlives,” said Diana McGhee, direc-tor of technology for Fort ThomasIndependent Schools.

McGhee’s children, MadisonMcGhee, a 2009 Highlands HighSchool graduate, and BeauMcGhee, a 2012 Highlands HighSchool graduate, both attendedtheGovernor’s School for theArtsduring high school.

Their cousins, siblings HayleyMyers, a 2010 Scott High Schoolgraduate, andCollinMyers,whowillgraduate from Scott High School in2013, both participated in theGover-nor’s Scholar program.

Madison, the first of the four toparticipate in the one of the pro-grams, said since the GSA and GSPinclude a lot of the same things, in-cluding living away from home in acollege setting during part of sum-mer break, they offered the cousinsa unique shared experience.

“It’s not that I expected all ofthem to do this, but it doesn’t sur-prise me,” Madison said. “We’reall very similar and all try reallyhard in school.”

HayleyandCollin’smother, Su-san Myers, said while all of themwerewell-roundedandparticipat-ed in extracurricular activities,school always came first in bothhouseholds.

“There was always an empha-sis on education in our families,”Myers said.

Hayley, who was the second ofthe four to participate, said she wasdrawntotheprogrambecauseofthescholarship opportunities it offered,which she found out about throughMadison’s experience.

All four cousins participatingin these programs just adds to thelevel of tradition in their family,

Hayley said.“All four of our parents went to

the samecollege, andwe’reall goingto or will be going to the same col-lege,” saidHayley, a nutritionmajorat theUniversity of Kentucky.

Hayley and Madison agreedthat their GSA and GSP experi-ences helped them a lot when itcame togoing to college, fromgiv-ing them a taste of being indepen-dentand livingawayfromhometogiving them a chance to meet oth-er students from across the state.

For Beau, who will be startingat UK this year, hearing about hissister’s and cousin’s experienceswith meeting students in collegewho also attended GSA or GPA isencouraging.

“I feel like it gives you a com-mongroundwith awhole bunch ofpeople,” Beau said.

Collin, who won’t be starting col-lege until next year, said he not onlymade a lot of new friends and ac-quaintances at the GSP, but he alsolearnedmoreaboutwhathewantstodo with his future by showing himhe’d rather study mechanical engi-neeringasopposed tocivil engineer-ing, which he originally planned onmajoring in.

» At Highlands HighSchool, parkingwill be pro-hibited across the streetfrom the school in front ofthe parking lot from 7-8:30a.m. and 2-3:30 p.m.

The loop in front of thehigh school will also beused for drop off and pickup this year.

Highlands High Schoolprincipal Brian Robinsonsaid people who are head-ing north on Memorial

traffic flow on HighlandAvenue and providing a

Parkway, away from thecenter of town, and plan tohead back the way theycame can pull through theloop, then turn left back on-to Memorial Parkway withthe help of a cross guard,who will be doing trafficcontrol.

Robinson said for traf-fic to flow well, no parkingwill be permitted in theloop.

Since thehigh school andmiddle school will be start-ing and ending at the samethis year instead of beingstaggered, more traffic willbe in the area at the sametime, but Kirchner said thehope is that these changes

will address the issue asmuch as possible.

Kirchner said the onlyschool with no change isJohnson ElementarySchool, where school andcity officials decided theyare doing the best they canconsidering the logistics ofthe area.

Kirchner said commu-nication is going out to par-ents about the changes inthe next few days.

Martin said even thoughthe ordinance changing theparking won’t be voted onuntil the next councilmeet-ing in September, PoliceChiefMikeDaly has issuedan emergency order, mak-ing the changes effectiveimmediately.

Signs showing the newparking laws are alreadygoing up, giving people achance to get used to it be-fore school beginsWednes-day, Aug. 22.

“There is going to be alearning curve before peo-ple are going to get thehang of what needs to hap-pen to make things runsmoothly,” Martin said.

“We now have third gen-erations customers whocome to our store,”Grangersaid. “We really hope theyfollowuptoournewlocationbecause we need them.”

Cold Spring MayorMark Stoeber said havingbusinesses move into thecity is always a good thing,especially when it’s a well-known business like Mar-shall Granger Jewelers.

city,” Stoeber said. “I’m ex-cited to see everything thatthey have to offer.”

To start off, the storewillkeep its same hours from9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. MondaythroughFridayand9:30a.m.to 3 p.m. on Saturdays, butGranger said those may beextended depending on howbusiness goes in the new lo-cation, where there is a lotmore traffic.

ALEXANDRIA — Alex-andria police officers Nat-alie Selby and Mark Bran-ham have received state-wide recognition for theirspecialties of workingwith school children andpeople with mental dis-abilities.

Selby was named 2012Kentucky Crisis Interven-tion Team Officer of theYear award from the Na-tional Alliance on MentalIllness during the annualconference in LouisvilleJuly 28. And Branham re-ceived the 2012 Rookie ofthe Year award from theKentucky Association ofSchool Resource OfficersRookie of the Year.

Natalie Selby

Selby is chairperson ofthe Northern Kentuckyarea Crisis InterventionTeam, and is the point per-son in Alexandria for cri-sis situations. The job ismostly dealing with trau-matic events, Selby said.

“A lot of it is mentalhealth issues,” she said.

Selby has a lot of train-ing, said Joe Alexander,assistant chief for the Al-exandria Police Depart-ment. Selby’s qualificationas a crisis negotiator willbe needed if there is ever asituation where the de-partmenthas to respond toa “bad situation,” Alexan-der said.

Selby has embracedhandling problems otherofficers without the train-ing can’t handle aswell, he

said.“A lot of people in situa-

tions we’re coming acrossnow are not really crimi-nal in nature, and beforepolice really had no optionthan to put people in jail,”Alexander said.

Selby is the only quali-fied CIT trainer in North-ern Kentucky and one oftwo CIT trained officerswithin Alexandria’s de-partment, according to anews release from NAMIof Northern Kentucky.

According to the newsrelease Selby “does herbest to prevent calls to thepolice triggered by thosewith a severe mental ill-ness. She maintains a con-fidential list of people inher Northern Kentuckydistrict whom have trig-gered calls to the police inthe past and regularly vis-

its with them in theirhomes. Selby developspersonal relationshipswith families, and talkswith them to help makesure people stay on theirmedications and pursuefurther treatment, ac-cording to the news re-lease.

Mark BranhamAlexander said Bran-

ham volunteered to takethe SRO job at CampbellCounty Middle School af-ter the sudden death ofJim “Stumpy” Sticklen onMarch4, 2011,whenhecol-lapsed from a medicalemergency while trainingin Corbin, Ky.

Thestudents and teach-ers at themiddle school al-ready love Branham, andfollowing Sticklen’s closerapport and connection

with students was going tobe a tough job for anyone,Alexander said.

Everyone says therewill never be another“Stumpy,” he said.

“Mark has pretty muchgotten as close to him asyou possibly can.”

The job is extremelyrewarding, Branham said.

“I’ve got one son, butI’ve got over 1,200 kidsnow,” Branham said. “So,it’s very special.”

Receiving the rookie ofthe year is “awesome” be-cause it is really an award“for the kids,” he said.

“I know why Stumpystayed in the schools for solong,” Branham said.“You’ve got the chance tochange so many lives.”

“Obviously July 1 hascome and gone, and we donot have an agreement onhow to resolve the opener,”Horine said.

ALEXANDRIA — Camp-bell County and the policeunion have yet to agree onthe issue of potentialraises for this year and be-yond.

The county’s contractwith the Fraternal Orderof Police for CampbellCounty Police Departmentofficers is in place throughJune 30 2015, but a July 1deadline to agree on re-vised salaries for officershas passed with no agree-ment in place, said Camp-bell County AdministratorRobert Horine.

The county and policeunion entered into a newcontract on July 1, 2011,Horine said.

When the contract wasapproved in 2011, a “wagere-opener” was put in thecontract for the time peri-od beginning July 1, hesaid.

The “wage re-opener”was put in place becausethe county and policeunion both agreed to nego-tiate the salary portion ofthe contract because of un-predictable financial fac-tors during times of eco-nomic uncertainty, Horine

backdated to July 1, butthat is a possible point ofnegotiation, Horine said.

There are automatic ad-justments in the contractfor people after they havea certain number of yearsof experience, and thecounty’s officers will con-tinue working at the cur-rent rates and salary struc-ture, he said. There has notbeen an across the boardwage adjustment for thisyear, Horine said.

“We remain in negotia-tions,” he said. “Ideally wemight have worked some-

thing out before July 1.”Calls to Lt. BillWilson, a

union representative offi-cers have authorized to ne-gotiate on their behalf,were not returned.

WORKSHOPS DETAILSThe target audience for the 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Friday,

Sept. 7 workshop is professionals and land owners. Thetarget audience for the 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept.8, workshop is college students.Each workshop will begin with an hour-long presenta-

tion from Tom Biebighauser at St. Anne Convent, 1000 St.Anne Drive, Melbourne. Participants will spend the rest ofthe day building and planting a wetland.Space is limited, and reservations are required to attend.

Call the Campbell County Extension Office at 859-572-2600.

MELBOURNE — Envi-ronmental professionals,college students and possi-bly land owners will turnthree acres of an old andunused corn farm in Mel-bourne into a wetland Sept.7-8.

The work to restore thethree acres will be part oftwo workshops teachingwetland restoration at St.AnneWetlandsResearch&Education Center in Mel-bourne.

St.AnneWetlands is100-acres of Ohio River bottomland preserved by the sis-ters at the Congregation ofDivineProvidence through

a 2008 agreement with theCampbell Conservancy.

The workshop partici-pants will turn the threeacres of old farm fields nolonger used to producefood back into natural wet-lands, said DJ Scully, ex-tension agent for agricul-ture and natural resourcesfor the University of Ken-tucky’s Campbell CountyCooperativeExtensionSer-vice office in HighlandHeights.

“This is basically theonly area of the conventwetland that is not forest-ed,” he said.

Thewetland restorationworkshops are for a targetaudience, and so far all ofthe participants are eitherinterested professionalsand college students, Scul-ly said.

Land-owners seeking toturn an old farm field backinto awetland area are alsoinvited to attend, he said.

A land owner mightwant to recreate a wetlandif they aren’t using theproperty as a farm andwant to get rid of some wa-ter problems, Scully said.

“That’s probably limit-ed to folks with propertyalong the Ohio or Licking

rivers or properties in low-lyingareas that havedrain-age issues,” he said.

Decades ago it wasn’tuncommon for a farmer toget rid of a wetland by cre-ating a tile drainage sys-tem, Scully said said. The“tiling” is what workshopparticipantswill be revers-ingatSt.AnneWetlands,hesaid.

“Nowadays it’s illegal totear up wetlands, but backin the day that’swhat farm-ers did,” Scully said.

Many people don’t thinkmuch about wetlands, butthey are important fromanecological perspective as ahabitat forwildlife, he said.

“They also do a lot tohelp with pollution,” Scullysaid.

The wetlands restora-tion workshops will be ledby Tom Biebighauser, awildlife biologist for theU.S. Forest Service’s Cen-ter for Wetlands & StreamRestoration.

Mary Katherin Dicker-son of the Boone, KentonandCampbellconservationdistricts, helped Scully or-ganize the workshops.

Dickerson said she wasfamiliarwithBiebighauserbecause she had gone to aclass he taught.

“He helps people designthings that will work forthem that are technicallysound,” she said.

Dawn Mays, 24, ofSouthgate, thedriver of thecar,wastransportedtoUni-versity Hospital in Cincin-nati and was later pro-nounced dead, said Camp-bell County Police Depart-ment officer AndrewNoyes.

Noyes said he respon-ded to adispatch call at 4:15p.m. of an accident involv-ing a car and Silver GroveIndependent Schools buson the two-lane Four MileRoad. None of the 20 stu-dents aboard the bus wereinjured.

The driver’s brother,Terry Mays, 29, of Alexan-dria,wasapassenger in thecar and was also transport-ed to University Hospitalfor his injuries. Details ofhis conditionarenot known

at this time, Noyes said.Investigation into the

accidentshowsMaysdroveleft of center into the in-coming lane of traffic asshe traveled north into Sil-ver Grove, he said.

The accident happenedimmediately after stormscame through the area.

Silver Grove Police De-partment Chief DouglasHolt was the first respond-er to the scene and a medi-cal helicopter was request-ed because of the severityof the injuries, Noyes said.

“Air Care, it was re-quested, but dispatch ad-visedbecauseof theweath-er, they couldn’t respond,”Noyes said.

The students on the busare members of theschool’s volleyball teamand were on their way to amatch in Bracken Countywhen the accident hap-pened, saidSuperintendentKen Ellis.

The crashwas about 300to 400 yards from theschool, and he and otherstaff walked to the site im-mediately, Ellis said.

ALEXANDRIA — Principalsandhighschool studentswill takea plunge for Special Olympics ofNorthern Kentucky during twowater-filled fundraisers in Au-gust.

Student athletes from BishopBrossart High School and Camp-bellCountyHighSchoolwill startthe fund-raising efforts by wash-ing cars during “Jocks HelpingJocks” at the All Season CarWash, 7725 Alexandria Pike, inAlexandria from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.Saturday . Bishop Brossart stu-dents will wash cars from untilnoon, and Campbell County stu-dents will take over from noon to4 p.m.

Later, staff and principalsfrom 10 area schools will make a

splash for Special Olympics dur-ing the fifth annual Dunk theEducator/Principalat theAlexan-dria Village Green shopping cen-ter from11a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 25.

Alexandria resident and busi-ness ownerShariHennekes is theorganizer of both events.

The carwashwas added to gethigh school students involved be-cause they don’t get as excitedabout the dunking booths, Hen-nekes said. About 15 athletesfromeachhigh schoolwill partic-ipate in thecarwashandcompetein teams to see which schoolraises the most money, she said.

The traditional dunk-the-prin-cipal fundraiser will include thenew principals of CampbellCountyMiddle School and ReileyElementary School taking a seatin the dunking booth, Hennekessaid. And for the first time an

educator from the Main StreetChristian Education Center willparticipate in adunking, she said.

Each school competes againstthe other to raise themostmoneythrough selling three softballtosses for $1.

Top school fundraisers fromthe past, Cline ElementarySchool in Cold Spring and Camp-bell Ridge Elementary School inAlexandria, are both gearing upfor another big year, Hennekessaid.

Anthony Mazzei, principal ofCampbell Ridge, has been theonly educator in the dunkingtanks every one of the event’sfive years, she said. Lynn Poe,principal of Cline, has alsobrought a lot of support to theevent in recent years.

“Cline has been working onfund-raising since May or June,”

she said.Dunk the educator/principal

keeps raising more money eachyear with last year’s amount of$6,000 being the biggest ever,Hennekes said.

Special Olympics volunteerand softball coach Carol Farwellof Alexandria said money raisedthrough the events helps pay foravarietyofneeds, fromuniformsto fees for the athletes.

Special Olympics athletes aredrawn from 10 Northern Ken-tucky counties, although most ofthem are from Campbell, Booneand Kenton counties, Farwellsaid. The athletes range in agefrom 8 to 77, she said.

“There’s not an age limit.There’s a place for everybody,”Farwell said.

Some Special Olympics ath-letes are in wheelchairs, and oth-

ers have Down Syndrome or au-tism.

Farwell’s 23-year-old son Jef-frey has Down Syndrome andplays shortstop.

The importance of SpecialOlympics shines every year, Far-well said.

One girl on the softball teamhasn’t scored a run in five years,but she’s still an importantpart ofthe team, and she enjoys thesport, Farwell said.

A boy with autism joined theteamthis year first timeand said,‘Don’t I look good with my uni-form on?” in a show of emotionand with a smile on his face, shesaid.

“It’s not the score at the end ofthe day,” Farwell said. “This kidat the end of the day, he’s goingaway with ‘I did good.’”

One can scarcely open anewspaper, surf the web, orwatch a news program thesedays without encountering thisquestion: Is college worth it?Naysayers point to the risingcost of tuition, the growinglevel of student debt and per-sistent, high unemploymentrates to argue that a collegeeducation doesn’t have thevalue it once did.

Instead of merely enteringthe debate, we need to reframethe question: Is a communitycollege education of value?The facts about the value ofgraduating from a communitycollege like Gateway are tooimportant for any parent of acollege-age student or anystudent paying his or her ownway through school to over-look.

There is no escaping thisfact: on average, the more youlearn, the more you earn. Thedata overwhelming show thatthere is a direct correlationbetween personal earnings and

the level ofeducationalattainment.Statistics fromthe U.S. De-partment ofLabor consis-tently revealthat peoplewith postsec-ondary educa-tion have alower unem-ployment rate

and higher median weeklyearnings than people with ahigh school education.

Earning a credential like acertificate, diploma or degreemakes a big difference. Inaddition, information from theLabor Department demon-strates that people with anassociate degree or higher aremore likely to be employedand earn higher wages thanthose who have some collegebut no degree.

This trend will continue forthe foreseeable future. Today,

even in the current economicclimate, the Department ofLabor reports that unemploy-ment rate for people with asso-ciate degrees is 6.8 percent,well under the average of 9.4percent for high school gradu-ates and 14.1 percent for highschool dropouts.

Looking ahead to 2020, jobgrowth of 18 percent for asso-ciate degree graduates is ex-pected to outpace the 12.2 per-cent growth in jobs for highschool or GED graduates andeven the 16.5 percent growthfor jobs requiring bachelor’sdegrees.

An associate degree deliv-ers significant value from anearnings perspective as well.Labor statistics show the medi-an annual wage in 2010 for aperson with an associate de-gree was $61,560. That is 80percent more than the averageearnings of a high school grad-uate and just $2,000 a year shyof the median annual wage forthose with a bachelor’s degree.

But there is more to the valueof a community college educa-tion.

Public community collegeslike Gateway provide the bestform of access to higher edu-cation. Our tuition rates aresignificantly lower than publicfour-year colleges and uni-versities and dramaticallylower than for-profit colleges.

For example, Gateway’stuition of $140 per credit houris less than half the tuition costof any public university inKentucky, and a variety ofscholarships and financial aidare available to help offsetthat cost. Plus, credits earnedat regionally accredited col-leges like Gateway transfer tofour-year universities. In Ken-tucky, our credits transfer topublic universities by law.Many independent institutions,like Thomas More College, aswell as public ones, such asNorthern Kentucky Univer-sity, offer Gateway graduatessignificant scholarships to

transfer and complete a de-gree.

By going to Gateway fortwo years and completing anassociate’s degree, studentscan save 40 percent or more ofthe total cost of a four-yeardegree! So if you want a col-lege degree without muchdebt, with highly qualifiedfaculty in small classes, enrollat colleges like Gateway forthe first two years, obtain anassociate’s degree and thentransfer.

Is community college worthit? The answer is a resoundingyes. At Gateway, we know thateducation truly does pay, andwe would be delighted to showyou how.

The Center for DiseaseControl reports the U.S. isheading for the worst year forpertussis or whooping coughsince 1959, with more than19,000 cases and nine infantdeaths reported so far thisyear.

This is twice the usual num-ber of cases. The state of Ken-tucky also has high rates ofwhooping cough with 179 casesstatewide and 79 (44.1 percent)of these cases coming fromBoone, Kenton, Campbell andGrant counties. Northern Ken-tucky usually sees 25 cases ofwhooping cough per year.

Whooping cough is a very

contagiousdisease spreadfrom person toperson bycoughing orsneezing whilein close con-tact with oth-ers. Manyinfants andchildren getwhoopingcough from

their mothers, fathers, olderbrothers or sisters, or baby-sitters who may not even knowthey have whooping cough.

Infants less than 6 monthsof age are at high risk for get-

ting whooping cough becausethey have not received all oftheir whooping cough (DTaP)vaccinations. These infants getvery sick and many must behospitalized. Adults can alsoget whooping cough and theycan become very sick too.

Tdap is the whooping coughvaccine given to adults whoare more than 18 years of age.Signs of whooping cough usu-ally begin within seven to 10days after having close contactwith someone who has whoop-ing cough. If you or your childdevelops a cold, congestion,fever, runny nose and severecough, or a cough that lasts

more than two weeks, it maybe whooping cough. The bestway to know is to contact yourdoctor so you can be tested andreceive antibiotics if the testfor whooping cough is positive.

Women who are more than20 weeks pregnant should alsoget the Tdap vaccine so theycan pass their antibodies totheir baby for protectionagainst whooping cough duringthe first months of life. Preg-nant patients who are deliver-ing their babies at St. Eliza-beth Edgewood and their im-mediate family members orinfant caregivers more than 18years old can get the Tdap

vaccine for free at the Pertus-sis Cocooning Clinic.

The Clinic is located at St.Elizabeth Edgewood and isopen 1-2 p.m Sundays, Tues-days, Thursdays and Satur-days; 8-9 a.m. Mondays andFridays; and 3-4 p.m. Wednes-days. The Tdap vaccine is alsoavailable for $4 at the Boone,Campbell, Grant and KentonCounty Health DepartmentCenters.

Since 2007, nearly 9 millionhomes have been lost to fore-closure. Banks foreclosed onnearly 67,000 homes in Ken-tucky since the height of themortgage foreclosure crisis in2008.

This crisis brought ourcountry to its knees and turnedthe American dream into anightmare for families in everycommunity in our country andour commonwealth.

As you may recall, my officewas part of the national fore-closure settlement announcedearlier this year between stateattorneys general and the na-tion’s five largest banks. Ourparticipation in this historicsettlement secured $58 millionto provide direct and immedi-ate assistance to Kentuckyfamilies and communities af-fected by the mortgage fore-closure meltdown.

Nearly $39 million of thesettlement is available to home-owners who faced foreclosureand had loans with Bank ofAmerica, JP Morgan Chase,Wells Fargo, Citi and Ally/GMAC. An independent admin-istrator is allocating this mon-ey to consumers who qualifyfor refinancing, loan writedowns, debt restructuring or

payments of upto $2,000. Formore informa-tion on qualify-ing for thissegment of thesettlement,visit www.ag-.ky.gov.

On July 30, Iannounced theallocation ofthe remaining

$19.2 million of this settlementto help create affordable hous-ing, revitalize abandoned orvacant properties and to assistKentuckians who have losttheir homes.

Keeping this money was nosmall task. During the budgetprocess in Frankfort, I foughtto make certain that his moneywent to consumers and commu-nities; communities like Louis-ville, which has seen more than17,200 foreclosures since 2008.

I was pleased to be joined byMayor Greg Fischer at thepress conference announcingthe distribution of $1.5 millionto the city of Louisville, ofwhich $750,000 will go to theVacant and Abandoned Proper-ty Initiative and will bematched in part by the Bloom-berg Foundation. This will help

rehab vacant properties andreturn them to use and theproperty tax rolls.

Of course, this isn’t just aproblem in Louisville. It’s aproblem across the common-wealth. That’s why $7.5 millionof the settlement is designatedto assist federally supportedhousing programs that coverall of Kentucky’s 120 countiesthrough the Kentucky HousingCorp. Three million of thatallocation will go to the Neigh-borWorks Alliance, which willleverage matching grants foran additional $7.5 million, toassist with the purchase andrehabilitation of existing prop-erties, purchase and rehabilita-tion of affordable rental prop-erties, and purchase of mort-gages to restructure paymentin an effort to allow homeown-ers to retain properties.

Three million dollars willestablish a down payment pooland closing cost assistance poolfor owners who want to pur-chase vacant or foreclosedproperties. The remaining $1.5million goes to KHC’s Home-ownership Protection Center,which will fund 19 KentuckyHousing Corp. approved coun-seling agencies that provideforeclosure prevention and

pre-purchase counseling.I am pleased that we were

able to identify agencies thatcan match our settlement dol-lars with other grants, allowingus to maximize the settlementto help even more Kentuckians.

Additional allocations in-clude:

» $250,000 to each of Ken-tucky’s four regional Legal AidCenters to help homeownerswho are going through theforeclosure process or seekingto avoid foreclosure.

» $5 million to the Office ofthe Attorney General to assistconsumers and investigatemortgage and securities issues.This includes potential litiga-tion regarding Mortgage Elec-tronic Reporting Systems in-volvement in wrongful fore-closures.

» $4 million to update theKentucky All Schedule Pre-scription Electronic ReportingProgram. Money will be used toenhance software to ensurecompliance with House Bill 1;Kentucky’s newly enactedprescription drug abuse law.

As part of this settlement,all of the agencies receivingfunds must report to my officemonthly with details on howthey are spending the money.

This settlement is aboutproviding second chances. It’sabout communities fightingback, and it’s about fighting forKentuckians who don’t have avoice.

FT. THOMAS— If opponentsthought they were going to catch abreak after Highlands graduatedKentucky Player of the Year PatrickTowles, they are in for a rude awak-ening this season.

The Bluebirds will be starting anew quarterback, but they are loadedon both sides of the ball. It is no se-cret that anything short of a sixthstraight state championship would bea disappointment in Fort Thomas.

Several starters return for theBluebirds. Four starters return onthe offensive line that paved the wayas the Bluebirds set new state rec-ords for total points, touchdowns, andyards in 2011. Mitch Dee, RichieWhitford, Tyler Schweitzer and JasonThome will once again lead the of-fense.

“It all starts with our offensiveline,” said head coach Dale Mueller.

Mueller is three wins shy of ca-reer win number 300. If they winanother state championship thisseason, the Bluebirds will stand aloneas the program with the most officialKentucky state titles. None of thatmeans all that much to Mueller, whosays that history was never hisstrong subject in school.

“I don’t think much about history,”he said. “I just see this year as get-ting these guys on this team ready.”

Despite five straight state titles,the players remain motivated. Theyknow that they have to put in thework; a state title is not a birthrightat Highlands, no matter howmanythe program wins.

This year’s players are not con-cerned with what teams that camebefore them have accomplished. Forthe seniors, this is their last chance toplay for Highlands. For the juniors,this is the only junior season they willhave.

“This is their year,” said Mueller.“It doesn’t matter to them what High-lands has done in the past. They wantto win a state championship this yearand they are hungry to do that.”

Luke Turner, David Christian, andJac Collinsworth return atwide receiver. Colin Seidland Zack Harris return atrunning back. The sec-ondary returns four sen-iors — Jake Heck,Quinton Mur-ray, Blake

Schutte, and Ben Streeter. ConnorPoston and Thomas Wrobleski leadthe linebackers, while Seth Hope,Gabe Schultz, and Nathan Merklereturn up front. The defense thatposted four shutouts last season lookseven stronger this year.

“We are going to have 11 fast,athletic guys on defense,” said Muell-er. “We feel really good defensively.”

The biggest hole to fill is at thequarterback position, but the Blue-birds are confident in senior Dono-van McCoy. He led the freshmanteam to a championship three yearsago, led the junior varsity two sea-sons ago, then saw time as wide re-ceiver on the varsity last year. Hefilled in for an injured Towles and ledHighlands to the program’s first winover Elder.

“He’s proven himself since hisfreshman year,” said Mueller. “He’sgoing to be a great quarterback forus.”

The 2012 Bluebirds have to re-place the best player in the statefrom 2011. The scary thing is, theymight be even better this season.

“We are really excited about thisyear’s team,” said Mueller. “We have95 players on the roster and havemore All-State caliber players thanwe ever have.”

ALEXANDRIA — The odds arestacked against Bishop Bros-sart’s football team.

Despite having an enrollmentof boys on par with Class 1Aschools, the Mustangs play inClass 2A. The Kentucky HighSchool Athletic Association usednumbers from 2006 and 2007 inits latest football district align-ment calculations. That left theMustangs with an uphill battle,which theywill need to overcomeagain this season.

“Nearly every school we playis bigger than us,” said headcoach Matt Reinhart. “We’re theonly school in the state that playsup.”

With enrollment down in theschool, it has been difficult to in-crease numbers in the footballprogram. Last season’s team fea-tured just four juniors and fiveseniors. Additionally, nearly ev-ery student-athlete at Brossartplays at least one other sport.Many Mustangs play threesports. The multi-sport athletesmake it hard for any team atBrossart to have a complete off-season of workouts.

“About 70 percent of our kidsplay at least one other sport andabout 40 percent play threesports,” said Reinhart. “The goodthing is we got good dedication

fromthekidswhowerewithus inthe offseason.”

The Mustangs enter the 2012seasonwith 32 boys on the roster.On the bright side, many of thereturningplayerssawsignificantvarsity action last year as fresh-men and sophomores.

“We’ll still be young, butwe’rean experienced team,” said Rein-hart.

Two seniors have emerged asleaders.Linebackerand tight endJacob Dennis and running back/linebacker Jacob Elbert will leadthe otherwise young squad.Chase Britt and Jeffrey Steffenanchor the offensive line, whichReinhart believes will be thestrength of the team this year.

The Mustangs have speed ondefense, but lack depth at everyposition.

“The key for uswill be stayinghealthy,” said Reinhart.

Last season, the Mustangsstarted strong before finishingthe season on a six-game losingskid. Once they hit district play,the challengesmount and the sizeand depth disparities begin toshow. With the challenges facingthem in district play, it is impor-tant for the Mustangs to startfast.

“A good start can help you outlater in the season,” said Rein-hart. “There’s no doubt that ourschedule gets tougher as the sea-son goes on.”

The Mustangs open the 2012campaign against MiddletownChristian at home on Aug. 25.

NEWPORT — Last year did notgo as planned for Newport Cen-tral Catholic.

The Thoroughbreds enteredthe season as the defendingClass2A state champions, with an ex-perienced senior quarterbackprepared to lead the team toback-to-back titles. After playinglike champions during the regu-lar season, the ‘Breds were upsetby eventual state champ HolyCross in the playoffs. This year’sNewCath squadhas not forgottenthe deflating feelings felt afterthat loss.

“I think it’s definitely in theback of their minds,” said New-Cath head coachEddieEviston ofhis returning players. “We feltthat oneofourworstgamesof theseasonwasour last.Wewant todoeverything we can to not repeatthat this year.”

Running back Dylan Hayeswill be counted on to carry theball, and the team.Hayeswill beaworkhorse, especially early inthe season as the ‘Bredswork in anew starting quarterback. SeniorJosh Cain has big shoes to fill atthe quarterback position, wherehe replaces three-year starterBrady Hightchew. The ‘Bredswill findmoreways toget theballto wideout Mac Franzen.

“Wehave to adjust our offenseto what our talent is,” said Evis-

ton.Lineman Brady Thacker re-

turns from injury and will be aleader on both sides of the ball.Elliott Rust, Jake Haas, andMattLenz join Thacker up front.

Several of NewCath’s offen-sive starters will also start on de-fense. Eviston expects to openthe season with eight two-waystarters,butwould like tosee thatnumber decrease as the seasongoes on.

“Wehopewegetyoungerguys

to step up into starting roles,”saidEviston. “We’ll alwayshaveafew ironmen that play nearly ev-ery snap, butwewant to see someother guys step up.”

The key for the Thorough-breds will be replacing Hight-chew’s production. The pressurewill not just be on Cain; Hayes,Franzen and Pete Collopy will allneed to contribute on offense.

“You can’t really replace hisplaymaking ability,” said Evistonof Hightchew. “When plays

would break down, he’d seem tomake something happen.”

The ‘Breds enter the seasonhungry to avenge last year’searlypostseasonexit.Whetherornot they can do that will dependon howmany players step up andmake plays on offense in criticalmoments.

PARK HILLS — Blake Bir hasalready made history as he be-gins his third year as startingquarterback for the CovingtonCatholic football team.

The only newhistory hewantsnowis towinClass4Astatecham-pionship, which would likely re-quire the Colonels to beat High-landsfor thefirst timesince2006.

Bir and the Colonels went 10-3last season, with two of the lossescoming to Highlands, including a49-14 drubbing in the state quar-terfinals.

Fourth-year head coach DaveWirthreturnsagrouphe labelsasfast, athletic and strong.

Bir is the top returning signal-caller statistically in NorthernKentucky after throwing for2,429 yards and 28 touchdownslast year. The 6-foot-1, 200-poundBir led the Colonels to 42 pointsper game on offense nad has4,665 aerial yards and 50 scoresin his career.

Most of his targets graduated,including record-setting tailbackGabe Gray and his 1,834 rushingyards from 2011. The Colonelshave plenty of talent, still. SeniorSpencer Hemmer had three TDcatches at tight end. Bobby Be-atrice, a senior, has 505 careerrushing yards and five TDs. Sen-ior receiver Ethan Egbers had 13receptions last year, and juniorSamDressman, a 6-4 athlete, had315 rushing yards and 10 TDs ayear ago.

Junior giants Christian Stew-art andNickKathman anchor theoffensive line. Both are over 6-foot-5, with Stewart coming in at6-6, 285.

The defense could shape up tobe the best Cov Cath has hadsince the 2006 state champion-ship season. Wirth is high on agroup that includes eight return-ingstarters,whomWirthsaysarebig, fast, physical and skilled.

Junior Sam Burchell led theteam in tackles with 88 from a

linebacker slot. The 6-2, 220-pound backer had 10 tackles forloss and two sacks. He also madewaves in a nationwide under-

classmancampatOhio StateUni-versity this summer, ranking inthe top 10 among linebackersthere.

Hemmer,who plays defensiveend as well as tight end, used his6-3, 265-pound frame to record 65tackles and 4.5 sacks last year.

Senior D.J. Powell is a third-year starter at linebacker.Hehas124 career tackles including 14for loss.

Senior Tanner Fangman, asafety and linebacker, had 15tackles for lossand four sacksde-spite missing a lot of time withmononucleosis.

Junior safeties Matthew Wayand Austin Oberhausen anchorthe secondary as well. Oberhau-

sen was second on the team intackles, and the pair combinedfor five interceptions.

Cov Cath will start the seasonwith Campbell County Aug. 17 aspart of the Skyline Chili Cross-town Showdown at DixieHeights. The Colonels will thenhost Dixie Aug. 25 in CCH’s firsthome game. Cov Cath will startdistrict play Sept. 21 on the roadagainst those pesky Bluebirds.

NEW YORK

You may not know it,but tires can wear out –even if there’s plenty oftread left on them. Insome instances, even thecar tires you buy newmaybe too old. That’s what aCollege Hill womanlearned.

Kathleen Metzgerbought four new tiresearlier this year and, aftera fewmonths, she startednoticing problems. “It feltlike it was out of align-ment really bad. You hadto have your hands on thewheel pretty firm in orderto keep it corrected,”Metzger said.

Metzger’s husband Kenput on a spare tire and, ashe did, he saw the problemwith the recently pur-chased tire. “I saw youcould see the belt right atthe end of the tire. Thesetires are falling apart.There are all these micro-cracks and fissures in the

tires. Iknew thatwas prob-ably whatthe prob-lem was,”he said.

Theywent backto the storethat hadsold the

tires, but were told theywere only able to get awarranty based on thetread wear of the problemtires. Metztger then wentto another tire store wherethe Department of Trans-portation identificationwas checked on the tire’ssidewall.

The first two numbersof the identification tellthe week in which the tirewas made – in the case ofone of her tires it wasweek 13. The next num-

bers tell you the year inwhich it was made – inthat case it simply said 4,which meant 1994.

“He really didn’t look atall four tires, he justlooked at one and told methat they shouldn’t be onthe car because they’reway outdated,” Metzgersaid.

The tires Metzgerbought new are actually 17years old. Clearly, thetires sat on a store shelffor years before they weresold. And technically thereis no expiration date ontires, but now the govern-ment says after six yearstires tend to rot and can bedangerous.

Metzger said as a resultof what she’s learned, “I’mvery concerned. I haven’tbeen driving my car forthe last few days. I justwould like a refund or all

new tires.” So, I contactedthe store that sold the tiresand the owner told me hewas unaware of the age ofthe tires when he soldthem. Given that the tiresare deteriorating afterless than a year, he’s nowgiven her a complete re-fund.

Remember, tires candeteriorate inside even ifthey look alright on theoutside. The NationalHighway Traffic SafetyAdministration says tiresare only good for six to 10years. Anything older thanthat, it says, are just notsafe on the roads.

NON-DENOMINATIONAL

We are down to the lastrow of corn, so I’ve beenblanching and freezing it.

I like to blanch thewhole ears and then takethe kernels off. I put thewhole ear into the center

hole of anangel foodpan and itkeeps itstable sothe cornkernelsdon’t flyevery-where. I amalwaysamazed athowmany

ears of corn it takes to filla pint jar, at least three.

And if you’re growingflowers like petunias andthey are looking leggy, goahead and pinch themback. It will take a coupleof weeks but you’ll get anew flush of blooms. I liketo give them a light doseof fertilizer, too. My zin-nias and marigolds arestarting to go to seed andI’m going to save seeds fornext year. Think aboutdoing that yourself. It’s alot less expensive thanstore-bought seeds and agood lesson for the kids tobe stewards of their envi-ronment.

Update onSilverglade’schicken salad clone

As mentioned previ-ously, Annie Hoffman’srecipe for chicken salad(her version of this pop-ular salad) is not the reci-pe that Silverglade’smakes and sells. Theirrecipe is proprietary andMike Silverglade saidAnnie’s recipe is not even

close to his recipe. To getthe “real deal,” stop bySilverglades at their Find-lay Market location ortheir deli at Eighth andSycamore streets in down-town Cincinnati.

ORDINANCE NO. O-09-2012AN ORDINANCE ACCEPTING THE RECOMMENDATION OFTHE FORT THOMAS PLANNING COMMISSION SUBMITTEDIN ITS RESOLUTION NO. Z-01-12 AND AMENDING THE OFFI-CIAL ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF FORT THOMAS,CAMPBELL COUNTY, KENTUCKY, BEING ORDINANCE NO.O-16-2007, BY CHANGING THE ZONE OR DISTRICT OF RE-AL ESTATE HEREINAFTER DESCRIBED FROM CENTRALBUSINES DISTRICT (CBD) TO RESIDENTIAL-ONE A (R-1A)FOR AN APPROXIMATE .093 ACRE SITE LOCATED AT 28MIDWAY COURT, BY AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONINGMAP OF THE CITY OF FORT THOMAS PURSUANT TO ARTI-CLE EIGHT (8) OF SAID OFFICIAL ZONING ORDINANCE TOCONFORM WITH SAME.

SECTION IIParcel described in Section I recorded in Deed Book 728 Page829 is hereby amended and changed on the Official Zoning Mapfrom Central Business District (CBD) to Residential-One A (R-1A).

SECTION IIIThat the City Clerk be and she is hereby authorized and directedto deliver a certified copy of this ordinance to the Zoning Adminis-trator.

SECTION IVThat the Zoning Administrator be and he is authorized and direct-ed to change the zone boundaries on the Official Zoning Map inaccordance with this Ordinance and Article 8 of the Official ZoningOrdinance.

SECTION VThat a Certificate of Land Use Restriction, pursuant to the provi-sions of KRS 100.3681-100.3684 shall be filed in the Office of theCampbell County Clerk.

SECTION VIThat this Ordinance shall amend but not repeal the existing Offi-cial Zoning Ordinance and the Official Zoning Map.

SECTION VIIThat this Ordinance shall be effective when read, passed and ad-vertised at the earliest date according to law.
