FORT WRIGHT — A monu-ment honoring family mem-bers of fallen soldierswill soonbe placed in the garden of thecity building, following thedeath of Fort Wright nativeand Green Beret, Sgt. DanielTyler Lee.

Daniel’s parents, Dan andFranLee, visited thecitybuild-ing to thank Daniel Kreinest,the chief of police, for coordi-nating all the efforts for the fu-neral, including working withthe airports.

Dan Lee said his family wastruly appreciative for the help

it received regarding his son,who died on Jan. 15 in Afghani-stan from gunshot wounds.

“Wewent there to thankhimfor all his efforts because itwent so smoothly,” Lee said.“When we were approachingthe city building, we happenedto see amonument.We thoughtabout what a nice idea it wouldbe if they could have some-thing for the fallen soldiers.”

Lee’s employer, Axcess Fi-nancial, offered todonatemon-ey inDaniel’s name for his par-ents to spend however theywanted.

Lee told council membersabout a sculpture he and hiswife saw at Dover Air Force

Base in Delaware when theyflew there to receive theirson’s body.Hesaid it took thema little while to understand themeaning of the sculpture,which is titled, “The Angel andtheDyingUnknown,”bysculp-tor GregWyatt.

“His sculpture just touchedus so much when we were atDover,” he said. “It was proba-bly one of the only pleasantmemories we brought backfromDover Air Force Base.”

We’ve donesomeremodeling

The Shop with a Cop pro-gram is changing the lives ofyoungpeople and volunteers in-volved in Erlanger, Elsmereand Villa Hills.

The Erlanger and Elsmerepolice departments haveteamed up to offer Shop with aCop, an all-day event, for morethan 20 years, according to Er-langer Sgt. Todd Brendel.

The kids are picked up forshopping, come to the stationfor food donated by local busi-nesses, and then visit DanbarryCinemas in Florence for amovie. In addition, they giveeach child’s family a Krogergift card for Christmas dinner.

“It’s a pretty awesome day,”Brendel said. “It’s great to seetheir faces light up. It’s a goodopportunity for them to see adifferent side of officers. Herewe are in a positive situationprovidingsomethingspecial forthem.”

Money is raised throughoutthe year, Brendel said, by sim-ply sending out letters to localbusinesses and residents. Eachyear about 25 children are se-lected from local schools to par-ticipate in the program.

Howell Elementary Schoolcounselor Pam Boyle said theprogram makes a real differ-ence in the kids’ lives.

“We pick kids who need fi-nancial help, but also those whoneed good role models,” she

said. “Students really benefitwith spending time with the of-ficers. They’re working withsomeone in authority who isfriendlyandhelping themmaketheir family’s Christmas better.It reallygives themabetterout-look and attitude.”

School resource officer JoelShepherd said the officers andtheir familieswhovolunteer forthe program benefit in return.

“So many of the kids don’t

buy for themselves when we goshopping,” he said. “They buyfor mom, dad, their brothersand sisters. I’ve watched somany 10-year-olds put othersfirst. For the police officers in-volved it reminds us of the goodand hope in the world. It’s goodfor us as officers to have a rela-tionshipwith thesechildrenandthe greatest part is knowing thechild will have a great Christ-mas.”

The need is great

Erlanger Police Departmentalso partners with the VillaHillsPoliceDepartmentandtheCrescentSpringsandVillaHillsFire Department for the pro-gram.

This program has also beengoing on for about 20 years. Er-langer became involved afterits merger with the CrescentSprings Police Department.

They too take the kids outshopping, and then invite themback to the firehouse for awrapping party. Food is provid-ed by various local businesses.

“We all have a good time,”saidVillaHills Police Chief Bri-an Allen. “And the kids get tohave a little bit of a betterChristmas they wouldn’t other-wise have.”

This program is also operat-ed by donations from residents,and localbusinessesandorgani-zations. Students from RiverRidge Elementary School areselected to participate. Accord-ing to Crescent Springs andVil-la Hills Fire Chief Jeff Wendt,there aremanychildren in needin the community, despite thecommunity’s reputation as be-ing high-end.

“People don’t realize thatthere are lots of underprivi-leged children right where welive,” he said. “This program al-lows us to give something backto the community and to dosomething special for thosekids who are really in need.”

River Ridge Principal Shaw-na Harney said it’s a great timefor the kids.

“This is a time of year wherewe can bring some joy to thosein need,” she said. “This pro-gram is another great way toreach students and familieswho need that extra boost.”

ture.“We felt like this has

been a sign from God,”Wall said. “We Googledhim right away and Mr.Wyatt responded.”

The impactWall said the city has a

monument for all of thosewho serve, but it doesn’thave anything for thosewho are killed in action.

Lee said the impact ofthe sculpture may affectpeople differently, de-pending on the meaningthey find.

“It’s an opportunity forpeople to see the actualartwork in the sculpture,andwhat it stands for,” hesaid. “It’s basically an an-gel that’s pickingupa fall-

en soldier. It reminds youthat when you pass fromthis world, you’re notalone. It’s one of thosesculptures that takes a lit-tle bit for you to absolute-ly absorb it.”

According to Lee,there is a similar sculp-ture inArlingtonNationalCemetery that Wyatt cre-ated as well, but he hopesfamilies are fortunateenough to not have tomake a personal trip tosee the monuments.

“Hopefully people nev-er have the opportunity togo to Dover,” Lee said. “Ihope no one ever has to gothrough that. But at leastthey would get to see andappreciate the artwork.”

ThemessageLee gave a few words

of guidance to familieswho are currently goingthrough a similar situa-

tion.“It’s going to test your

faith in God, but you justhave to be strong,” hesaid.

According to Lee,there was a young GreenBeret who was one of thepallbearers at Daniel’s fu-neral. He and his wifeasked the soldier if thishappened to him, howwould hewant his parentsto act.

The soldier respondedsaying, “This was his lifechoice. It’s what he want-edtodoandheunderstoodthe risks. He would wanthis parents to be happythat he went out servinghis country.”

Wall said he is going tospeak for the rest of thecouncil members, andhopefully the citizens aswell, to say that layingdown one’s life for theircountry is as noble a thing

as there is in life.“We get to live freely

andpeacefully,”Wall said.“Theonlyreasonweget todo that is because theseguys have given theirlives. We are very hon-ored that we will have aspot where people cancome and reflect uponthat.”

According to Wall, thetarget timefor theprojectto be finished is late-March 2015. There will bea ceremony with manydignitaries invited, andWyatt isplanningonbeingthere.

PARKHILLS—StudentsatNo-tre Dame Academy are claim-ing victory last Tuesday overstudents at Covington Catholicin the annualNDA/CCHCannedFoodWar.

This year, the NDA Pandaspulled out all of the stops col-lecting 14, 468 canned goods.That is more than double theamount collected by the boysacross the street.

While winning the cannedfood war and having the CCHboys come to NDA to clean uplunch for a day was a great in-centive, it certainly was not themost important reward of thisproject.

“The NDA/CCH CannedFoodWarwasagreatwayforusto come together as a communi-ty and make a difference in thelives of others,” said ClaireSuetholz, NDA senior. “It’samazing to think that betweentheour twoschoolswecollectedover 20,000 canned goods. Thatwill go a long way in helpingthose in need this winter.”

This annual battle began in2010 when Student Councilmembers from Notre DameAcademy wanted to do some-

thing to help fill the shelves of alocal St. Vincent de Paul foodpantry. They realized that ifthey challenged the boys at Co-vington Catholic to a CannedFood War, they could collecttwiceasmany items for those in

need.The competition between

In a move to help students getahead or stay on track to gradu-ate in four years, Northern Ken-tucky University announcedNov. 24 itwill be putting strongeremphasis on its winter term thisyear, which consists of onlinecourses offered during a three-week session from Dec. 15through Jan. 6, 2015.

Winter term offers currentstudents, alumni, visiting stu-dents, and lifelong learners anopportunity to complete goals orget ahead in their academic ca-reers. Students enrolled in a win-ter termclass are eligible to earnup to three course credits. Theundergraduate and graduatecoursesareoffered inanacceler-ated format allowing for intense

exploration of a particular disci-pline, and all the courses are on-line. Topics range from introduc-tory anthropology and sociologycourses to upper-level courses inhistory and leadership.

“WinterTerm is agreat oppor-tunity for students to pick upcredit hours they need to keepthem on pace to graduate in fouryears,” said NKU Provost andExecutive Vice President for Ac-ademic Affairs Sue Ott Row-lands. “Students who didn’t earn15 or more hours during the fallsemester can earn three credithours in three weeks, helping toensure they are on track to grad-uate. Of course, it’s also great forstudents whowant to graduate inless than four years.”

Dr. JonathanMcKenzie, assis-tant professor of political sci-ence, will be teaching an onlinecourse called Political Leader-ship, which will investigate poli-tics on the federal and local level.

“We’ll be learning about whatmakes a good leader, and howleaders emerge,” he said. “Forstudents it’s a good chance to geta quick and in-depth look at a top-ic.”

Dr. Andrea Lambert South,graduate program director andassociate professor in the De-partment ofCommunication,willalso be teaching this winter. “Ilove teaching during the winterintersession,” she said. “I teachan online FamilyCommunicationcourse and it pairs perfectlywith

many student experiences re-garding their families around theholiday season.

“Managing and negotiatingfamily joys and tensions is a nearuniversal experience and I havethe privilege of being able toteach a class that emphasizeswhat we know about family com-munication anddeconstructs andnormalizes what can seem to beimpossible family members orsituations,” she said. “I teach theFamily Communication courseall throughout the year and thewinter intersessiononlinecourseresults in the best discussion andpersonal stories that exemplifythehighsand lowsof family life.”

Slow cookerbreakfast egg andsausage casserole

A perennial favorite. Ilike to thaw the hashbrowns a bit, but some ofmy readers like to pourthe frozen hash brownsstraight from the bag.Now remember yourslow cooker may take alittle less, or a little more,time. Last time I madethis I used 1-1/2 poundssausage, and it was good.

2 pounds frozen shred-ded hash browns - eithershredded or diced

1 to 1-1/2 pounds sau-sage, cooked and crum-bled

1 bunch green onions,finely sliced, both whiteand green parts

1 pound shreddedcheese

12 eggs1/3 cup milk1/2 teaspoon garlic

powder1/2 teaspoon dry mus-

tardSalt and pepper

Spray 6-quart slowcooker/crockpot. Layer1/3 potatoes on bottom,sprinkle with salt andpepper and top with 1/3sausage, sprinkle withsalt and pepper, add 1/3onions and cheese, sprin-kle with salt and pepper.Repeat layers 2 moretimes, ending withcheese. Whisk eggs, milk,garlic powder and mus-tard. Cook on low 6-8hours or high 4-5.

Tip fromreader’s kitchen:

“Try a combo of hamand bacon instead ofsausage”, one readersuggested.

Kids in the kitchen:milk chocolatepeanut butter bark

My granddaughter,Emerson, loves milkchocolate and peanut

butter. She’ll be makingthis with me as a giftfrom the kitchen. I putthe peanuts in a heavyzip lock and let her poundthemwith a miniatureLebanese “indua” - anolive wood pestle.

1 bag each, about 12oz., milk chocolate andpeanut butter chips

1 very generous cup orso chopped salted pea-nuts

Line cookie sheet with

foil. Melt chips and stirin peanuts. Pour ontocookie sheet about 1/4”thick. Break into piecesafter it is set.

By almost every measure, North-ern Kentucky’s first half marathonwas a success, according to its orga-nizer and one of its most experiencedrunners.

“We sold out with 1,100 partici-pants,” said Scott Spicher, founder ofthe Nov. 15 Honor Run Half Marathon.

“We were able to raise $27,000which will be presented to HonorFlight Tri-State at the Dec. 9 FlorenceCity Council meeting,” said Spicher,media systems coordinator for BooneCounty Schools.

“That will enable half of a plane ofveterans to see the memorials inWashington, D.C.,” Spicher said. TheHonor Flights fly veterans fromWorldWar II and the KoreanWar to Wash-ington, D.C., to see their memorials atno cost to the veterans.

The half marathon, which by defini-tion is 13.1miles, got a thumbs up froma Florence pediatrician who’s run overa dozen marathons including the Bos-tonMarathon.

“I thought it was great. I was reallyimpressed,” Dr. Robert Tagher said.

“For the first year as far the run-ners were concerned it went off with-out a hitch,” said Tagher, who came in11th. “It was well organized. It was agreat course. It was just challengingenough.”

Marathoners took off under theFlorence Y’all water tower, loopedaround FlorenceMall, sprintedthrough theMall Road and HoustonRoad business districts, galloped byTurfway Park Race Course, dartedbehind the Cincinnati/Northern Ken-tucky International Airport and sped

along Aero Parkway before turningback toward the mall and finishing atthe water tower.

Spicher, who coaches youth crosscountry at Boone County High School,said the idea for the half marathonactually came from his wife, who no-ticed there wasn’t such a race in

Northern Kentucky.He ran with the idea, and got advice

from officials of Cincinnati’s FlyingPigMarathon. When it came to plot-ting out the course, he got tips fromFlorence city government officialsJoshWice and Rick Lunnemann.

“The city was really good to work

with,” Spicer said, as were countyofficials in Boone County EmergencyManagement.

“We’re really happy with the way itcame out.”

Spicher went door to door along therace route to give businesses a headsup.

On race day, however, a few logisti-cal issues came up at with FlorenceMall employees delayed from gettingto work.

Spicher said only a few changeswould be made to the course in 2015.

“We’ll try to makeminor adjust-ments around the mall so traffic canmovemore freely,” he said.

Next year the race will be movedfrom Saturday to Sunday “to alleviatesome of the problems we had.”

So mark the date: The second Hon-or Run Half Marathon will be Sunday,Nov. 15, 2015.

“Our goal next year is to double ourattendance,” Spicher said.

Tagher, the Florence doctor andavid runner, said he believed a lotmore people would have signed up thisyear but the event sold out.

He was confident word will spreadso that doubling participation nextyear should be no problem.

Spicher, whose grandfather was aPOW duringWorldWar II, said he’dlike the half marathon to become aNorthern Kentucky tradition for theweekend after Veterans Day.

“To pull all those agencies togetherand pull off a first-class event” in-volved some stress, he said. But it wasdefinitely worth it when you considerit was “for the people who fought forour freedom.”

A publication of

LaRosa’s Family Pizzeria isdedicated to supporting thecommunity-at-large by helpingour neighbors in need. Theholiday season reminds us toreflect on our blessings, whilealso recognizing and assistingfriends and members of ourcommunity facing challengingtimes.

We are particularly drawnto improve the harsh realitiesof hunger and food insecurityfacing members of our com-munity. This continues to be amajor issue in the GreaterCincinnati area, and the de-mands are growing as hun-dreds of thousands of individ-uals and families wonderwhere their next meal is com-ing from. In Greater Cincin-nati, the Feed America’s Mapthe Meal Gap found that thisuncertainty affects 289,940people, including 100,000 chil-dren.

The unemployment rate hasdropped over the past year,

which is goodnews, but theimprovementfails to gener-ate the neces-sary aware-ness of thegrim realityaffecting mil-lions of indi-viduals in ourcountry – hun-ger. Over 2million indi-

viduals in Ohio, almost 20 per-cent of the population, areclassified as food insecure.However, one-third of the hun-gry population does not qualifyfor federal nutrition programs,instead having to rely on foodassistance, from social serviceagencies.

Financial stress is cripplingfamilies locally, and not justthe unemployed. There aremany individuals working thatare still struggling to makeends meet. The strains have

caused people to change theirlifestyles, borrowmoney fromfriends and family, and evenmove in with others to get backon their feet.

For those individuals strug-gling to make it day-by-day,social service agencies like theFreestore Foodbank are bea-cons of hope. These organiza-tions are hands-on communityadvocates, spending time withtheir visitors and neighbors,getting to know them, anddetermining the best way tohelp. Whether providing food,clothing, job training, healthcare, housing, money manage-ment classes, or transporta-tion, these agencies tirelesslywork for those in need.

I visit our pizzerias fromBoudinot to Clifton, Hyde Parkto Fairfield; meeting withguests to hear about their fam-ilies and interests, their joysand successes, and their chal-lenges and hardships. We prideourselves on being a communi-

ty support system and do whatwe can to aid those that coulduse a helping hand. We arecalled to action to help those inneed.

This holiday season, LaRo-sa’s is proud to once againsupport the Freestore Food-bank of Cincinnati to fighthunger in our community.Beginning the day afterThanksgiving, each of ourpizzerias began selling BuddyCards (our 2 for 1 pizza dis-count card) for the benefit ofthe Freestore Foodbank.

The Freestore Foodbank isone of Ohio’s largest food-banks, distributing more than20 million meals annually in 20different counties throughoutOhio, Kentucky, and Indiana.We will donate $5 from the saleof every $10 Buddy Card di-rectly to the Freestore Food-bank. Our contribution willhelp support the FreestoreFoodbank efforts to providethe necessary resources to

meet our region’s growingneed. We hope you’ll join us inour efforts to surpass our 2013contribution of $36,000 to theFreestore Foodbank.

It’s hard to understandwhy people who (a) needskills to get a job or (b)think they can’t afford togo to college don’t enrollat Gateway Communityand Technical College. Ofcourse, many do.

But I’d bet there arequite a few people in theregion who fall into thosecategories who don’t havea clue about Gateway orhow a Gateway educationcan help them to a morefulfilling life. So let metake this opportunity todebunk some of the mythsabout community collegein general and Gateway inthe specific.

» I can’t afford to goto college. You may thinkyou can’t afford to go tocollege but chances areyou can. Gateway is veryaffordably priced. Tuitionis roughly half the cost ofany public university inKentucky. Plus, Gatewayoffers financial aid in theform of grants and schol-arships (which don’t haveto be paid back), as well asaccess to student loans.Loans do require repay-ment, but Gateway offersfinancial counseling thatcan help you keep borrow-ing to a minimum and planfor repayment from theget-go. And those schol-arships? You don’t have tobe an Einstein to qualify.Many are available forstudents with a C+ aver-age. Some federally fund-ed programs offer freetuition to low-incomestudents, depending onyour career interest.

» My life is too com-plicated for me to suc-ceed in college. Don’tjump to that conclusionwithout talking to us first.We have a wide variety ofsupport services to helpyou overcome those obsta-cles. We have programsthat can help with child-care and other life issuesthat get in the way ofsuccess. Also, our cam-puses are served byTANK, and you can rideTANK anywhere for freewith a valid Gateway IDcard.

» Gateway doesn’t

offer any-thing thatappeals tome. Per-haps youowe us asecond look.Gatewayoffers about150 differ-ent creden-tials inthree dozensubjectareas that

serve local business andindustries that are grow-ing and hiring. Accordingto local economic projec-tions, health care, educa-tion, business, finance,technology and produc-tion occupations are thosemost in demand in ourregion. Gateway offerstraining in all of thoseareas. Representatives oflocal businesses and in-dustries serve on ourprogram advisory com-mittees to help us keepour programs up to dateand relevant. We havecareer pathways custom-ized to industry job lad-ders and credentialsbased on industry certifi-cations that tie specifi-cally to job requirements.

» College isn’t worththe investment anyway.Really? Average earningsof a person with an asso-ciate degree is $37,604annually, according toU.S. Census data. Accord-ing to 2020 Jobs Outlookreport from Agenda 360and Vision 2015, 90 per-cent of jobs in the GreaterCincinnati/Northern Ken-tucky region paying above$33,130 a year requiresome combination of post-secondary education,on-the-job training, and/ormore than a year’s workexperience. Average an-nual earnings for thoseholding bachelor’s de-grees is $49,889. Gatewayoffers associate degreesand prepares graduatesfor transfer to bachelor’sdegree programs at four-year universities.

» Community col-leges don’t offer thesame quality as “real”colleges. Gateway is ac-

credited to award asso-ciate degrees by the Com-mission on Colleges of theSouthern Association ofColleges and Schools.SACS is recognized by theU.S. Department of Edu-cation and is a regionalaccreditation agency thatevaluates academic pro-grams at two- and four-year institutions, like theUniversity of Kentuckyand Northern KentuckyUniversity. That meanscommunity colleges, in-cluding Gateway, undergothe same rigorous reviewas their four-year univer-sity counterparts.

» My dream is to goto a four-year university.That’s a worthy goal; don’tgive up on it. Let us sug-gest that you start at Ga-teway and finish at a four-year school. Our creditstransfer, and you will saveas much as 40 percent onthe cost of a four-yeardegree by earning anassociate’s degree at Gate-way first. Look into ourGateway2NKU program,which guarantees admis-sion to NKU after com-pleting an associate inarts or science at Gate-way.

Explore the Four isMORE scholarship pro-gram that offers guaran-teed admission to ThomasMore College and a TMCscholarship of up to$14,000 a year upon yourGateway graduation.

We have transferagreements in place thatlead to more than 100different bachelor’s de-grees at over 20 U.S. col-leges and universities inthe region and around thecountry.

You see, there’s reallyno good reason for you notto at least explore enroll-ing at Gateway. Call ustoday at 859-441-4500. Orvisitwww.gateway.kctcs.edu.New classes start in Janu-ary.

Nov. 27 questionIf the Republican-controlled Senate

which takes office in January passes abill green-lightingtheKeystoneXLpipe-line, should thepresident sign thebill orveto it? Why?

“There are two or three issues be-ing overlooked in the discussion re-garding the Keystone Pipeline.

“1. Private Property Rights“2. The Keystone Pipeline benefits

Canadians and Canadian business in-terests and provides no additional oilsupplies for the US;

“3. After construction, it providesnot more than 35 new jobs for Amer-icans. In order to build this pipeline tocarry ‘tar sands’ oil through the Unit-ed States from theCanadian border toports in Texas to sell in other parts ofthe world; private property will needtobetakenfrommanyAmerican land-owners. This theory of taking wouldbe under eminent domain. Eminentdomain is supposed to be a ‘taking’ ofprivate property for a ‘public’ good.Taking American land for a projectwhichbenefitsCanadians andCanadi-anbusinessdoesnotbenefit theAmer-ican public. As there is no significantbenefit for Americans XL Pipelinelegislation should be vetoed by thepresident if the Senate approves it.”

Paul L. Whalen

“I believe he would veto it. Muchlike the immigration issue the presi-dent no longer has elections to re-strainhimandwill doashewants.Thepresident has often stated the onlyway to curve America’s use of oil is todrive the cost up so high that they areforced to.”

Terry Smith

“I think he’ll veto. I read that War-renBuffet is the chairman of the com-pany that owns the BSFN railroad,which owns all the tracks between theUS and Western Canada. They haulabout 80 percent of the oil to the USandmake about $2 billion a year doingso. The keystone could potentiallycost them that income (and thus thevery generous contributions andfundraisers for the Democratic Par-ty).This issuehas little todowithenvi-ronmental concerns. Like everythingin Washington, it’s all about the mon-ey.”

Bobbi Layne Kayser

“Yes! He should sign it!! The rea-sons are many ... jobs, oil independ-ence from the Middle East, moniescoming to our US economy from oilexporting ... to name a few!”

Linda Ann Salsbury

“No veto! Blocking the KeystoneXL Pipelinewill not keep the oil in theground, norwill it decreaseAmerica’sconsumption of fossil fuels. What itwill do is guarantee continuing unem-ployment for tens of thousands ofAmerican construction, manufactur-ing, transportationandrefinerywork-ers. It will also keep America vulner-able to oil supply interruption andhigh prices fromunstable, foreign oil-producing nations.”

Pamela Robinson Porter

“He needs to sign it ... that doesn’tmeanhewill.Weneedmore independ-ence from foreign oil and the extrajobs are also very much needed.”

Joy Kent Tarleton

“He should sign it... But hewon’t...”James Bartley

“The environmental concerns arephony anyway. They feign concernwhile using oil fromall over theworldand they care nothing about any en-dangered creatures or environmentalimpacts on those countries. I say useevery available energy source we canand lower the overall cost to consum-ersputtingmoremoneyinourpocketsto spend on a larger variety of prod-ucts thanoil andgas.Anaddedbenefitto those that hate on the rich is it putsless income in their pockets andmorein ours. Additionally, Obama will notOKtheKeystone,hisgoalaspresidentwas never to create jobs and improvethe economy, that is boring stuff to anactivist president.”

KENTON COUNTY — Coving-ton Catholic won’t have record-setting point guard Nick Ruth-satz and several other gradu-ates from last year’s team,which set many milestones ingoing 33-2.

That’s a way of life for justabout any team thatwins a statechampionship, which the Colo-nels didwith a stirringwin overScott County in the Sweet 16state final last March. Headcoach Scott Ruthsatz (77-23overall at CCH) will turn to tal-ented returning veterans toaide in a title defense.

Sophomore guard Cole Von-Handorf averaged 10 points,four assists, four rebounds andthree steals a game last season.Senior forward Bo Schuh, 6-foot-6, averaged eight points,five rebounds and two assistspercontest.Theyare the twore-turning starters for the team.

“With Nick leaving, therewas a leadership spot open. Ifelt that it was my job to take itover,” Schuh said. “I feel likethis is theyear forourseniors totake over. We haven’t had asmuch experience, so there’s alot of doubt coming with uswhenweplay.We’re all ready togo out there and show whatwe’re made of.”

According to coach Ruth-satz, CooperTheobald has had agreat preseason andwill handlethe point guard duties for theColonels. Grant Romes was akey contributor off the benchlast season and will provide agreat amount of athleticism onboth ends of the court. AndyFlood, Noah Lenhof and Mat-thew Shumate are good outsideshooters and all starters for lastyear’s JV regional champion-ship. Will Heppler and HunterZiegelmeyer are both aggres-sive post players and 6-foot-6.

The Colonels will have plen-ty of tests this season as theylook to strengthen their mettlefor their postseason defense.Cov Cath will play two of thestate’s top teams early on, goingto Trinity Dec. 12 and KnottCountyCentralDec. 20 (atRow-an County). Cov Cath will alsoreturnto theprestigiousRepub-lic Bank Classic Dec. 27-30. InJanuary, Cov Cath will go toMoeller Jan. 13. Regional show-downs with Newport CentralCatholic (Jan. 16) and Holmes(Jan. 23) will both take place atthe Bank of Kentucky Center.Overall, CCH will play at leastseven of the top 20 teams in thepreseason state Kentucky poll.

“Last year we were mainly aman-to-man team,” Ruthsatzsaid. “We had really good bas-ketball players, but we weren’treallyathletic.Thisyearwe’realot more athletic. We can useour defense to trap and do someother things to generate someoffense in the backcourt, whichI’m excited to see.”

A look at the other teams inthe county:

Ken Chevalier also has bigshoes to fill this year as he be-gins his 11th season as headcoach at Dixie Heights. Theybelong to Brandon Hatton, whoaveraged 24 points a game lastseason and left as the all-timeleadingscorer inNorthernKen-tucky history (3,045 points). Heis now at Division I Vermont.The Colonels also lost guardAdamDaria, a strongperimetershooter (8.5 ppg.).

Chevalier does have plentyreturning fromlastyear’s team,which was 24-8 and districtchampions before losing in theNinthRegionsemifinals. Seniorpoint guard Liam Rabe aver-

aged6.5 points and three assistsa game. Austin Schreck, a 6-3senior guard, averaged eightpoints and five rebounds. NickNiehaus, a 6-4 senior forward,posted four points and 3.5 re-bounds. Andrew Hedger, a 6-5senior center, posted fivepointsand four rebounds.

Others towatchstartwith6-4senior guard Drew Moore, 6-7seniorcenterMitchellBolin, 6-4senior forward Matt Isbel and6-0 sophomore point guardHunter Meyer. Moore is well-known as Dixie’s quarterbackandDivisionI footballprospect,and he had quality minutes lastseason. Replacing the perime-ter shooting of Hatton and Da-ria is a key preseason concernbut Chevalier is excited abouttheColonels’depthandversatil-ity.

“Even though we graduateda four-time all-state selection inHatton and our hard-nosed glueguy in Daria we will enter theseason with a lot of experienceand a very versatile, hardnosedand unselfish group of playersincluding a very solid seniorgroup that will provide a lot ofleadership throughout the sea-son,” he said. “We have a verychallenging schedule that willprepare us for the postseasonand if everyone stays healthywe could put ourselves in posi-tion to contend for both districtand regional titles this season.”

Beechwood was 11-16 lastyear for head coach ErikGoetz,who returns for his second yearas head coach of theTigers. TheTigers lost one senior fromyearand have eight returning play-ers with significant varsity ex-perience. Jacob Huff was thetop scorer last year.The6-foot-1junior guard was an all-confer-ence all-star in Division II. Ju-nior guardConnorBrock joinedHuff last year for one of thearea’s top shooting backcourts.Senior forward JohnathanStokes, a 6-foot-2 forward, and

sophomore Lucas Benson, bothfootball players, lead the interi-or. J.T. Toebbe, a 6-7 junior, pro-vides key depth inside, and sen-iors Nick Colosimo and JackTalley, and junior Ryan Ban-kemper provide perimeterdepth.

Andy Peters takes over ashead coach for Covington Lat-in, who was winless last year.The Trojans’ top players areNick Readnour, Devin Davis,Brett Mockbee, and Bryar He-rold. “We may not have thephysical talent other teamspos-sess, but I guarantee that ourplayerswill give100 percent ef-fort in each and every game.”

Holmes was 28-6 last yearand lost toCovingtonCatholic intheNinthRegion final. The newheadcoach isveteranMikeList-erman, who was an assistantwith the Bulldogs and has statetournament experience as headcoach at Covington Catholic.

Running the show is seniorpointguardJames“Beetle”Bol-den, who has signed with WestVirginia. The Mr. Basketballcandidate averaged 20.8 points,four rebounds and three assistsper game. Junior MarkelMcClendonaveraged11points agame and hit 50 percent of hisfield goals. Senior Rod Averyanchors the inside at 6-foot-4.

The Bulldogs have greatspeed, quickness and depth.Listerman anticipates playingup to 12 in the rotation. Size in-side is a preseason weakness.The Bulldogs will face severalkey tests, including preseasonnumber one in the state TrinityJan. 24.

Ludlow was 15-11 last yearfor head coach Randy Wofford,who begins his second seasonwith big graduation losses in-cluding two1,000-point scorers.He returns two starting guardsin Cameron Hart and KalibMitchell. Hart, a senior, hasbeen working hard to getstronger in going to the rim.

Mitchell, a juniorpointguard, isa strong ballhandler who canboth pass and penetrate to therim. Junior forward MarcusRoark is a versatile scorer in-side and out.

“We will be lacking in thevarsity experience area andhave a very tough schedule,”Wofford said. “However wehave a lot of guys with a lot ofheartwhoareworkinghardandbuying in to our program. Weshould be pretty quick, so ourdefense should help us to besuccessful on the offensive endof the floor.”

Villa Madonna won fivegames last year for head coachNathan Dilts, who returns forhis second season. The BlueLightning return six of their topeight players from last year butwill still be young. SophomoreguardThomasSchutzmanaver-aged 15.5 points and two stealsper game last year and was anall-conference member. Juniorguard Alex Kenkel posted 8.8points and 4.1 rebounds a con-test and turned it on late in theyear including a 30-point out-burst. Sophomore ScottMcQueen, 6-foot-1, returns atcenter. Junior forward SeanMalone is another player towatch as one of the team’s topinterior players. Freshman An-drewDeFrank brings offensiveskills to the post, and freshmanguards Sean McIntyre and RobSpickerwill look to adddepth tothe backcourt.

HolyCrosswon seven gameslast year forRyanSchrand,whoreturns for his second season.The Indians bring most of theirrotation back and has a lotmoreexperience this year. Top play-ers towatch startwithTylerBe-zold, Jared Seibert, LeightonSchrand, Hamilton Scott.

Calvary lost two seniorsfrom last year’s five-win team.The Cougars have five veteranseniors this year in David Kal-fas, ZacValandra, QuinnVarna-

do, RileyWorstell andChristianZint.

Lloyd looks to be much im-proved from last year’s 6-22squad, says head coach MikeKey. The Juggernauts are limit-ed in size but have good offen-sive chemistry and scrappyplay on defense. The team willbemore experienced after hav-ing no seniors last year but fivethis season, plus several keyun-derclassmen. Top players are 6-foot-3 senior forward HaydenMolitor, 5-0 senior guard DJWright, 5-0 senior guard MikeDunn, 5-4 junior guard BlakeDonovan, 5-8 sophomore guardLashunn Townsend and 6-3sophomore forward SterlingHamilton.

Scott was 8-21 last year forhead coach Brad Carr. The Ea-gles lost 65-62 to eventual 10thRegion champion CampbellCounty in the district semifi-nals, a rare occasion in recentyears that the Eagles haven’tadvanced to the regional tour-nament.

The Eagles have a lot of re-turning talent to make up forthat, although theywill be smallinside with the graduation ofcenter/offensive lineman Ka-meron Crim. The backcourtleads the way. Senior guardBlake Schneider averaged 19points a game last year, andsophomore Jake Ohmer posted13 a contest. Senior DarianWitherspoon and junior An-drew Trame add key depth.

“We will be guard-based andwe will try to get up and downthe floor, but at an even quickerand more aggressive pace thanlast season. We will have a real-ly fast and quick team that cantakeadvantageof easyopportu-nities by sprinting the floor.”

Simon Kenton lost four sen-iors from last year’s team thatwas15-14and lost theEighthRe-gion championship game inovertime. The Pioneers have astrong senior base returning inNoah Robinson, Matt Mullins,Jaeger Pracht and Grant Ver-cheak.

EDGEWOOD — With histeam facing the most ad-versity it has all year,Dave Brossart made theboldest decision of theseason.

Already trailing 7-0midway through the firstquarter, theDixieHeightsfootball team faced afourth-and-1 from theirown 29-yard line. Amissed play could havequickly led to a 14-0 defi-cit. Several Dixie offen-sive players lobbied headcoachBrossart togofor it.He did, and there was nomisstep, as senior run-ningbackLukeZajac tookthe handoff and foughtthrough the middle of theline. He barely got thefirst down, with the ballon the 30.

The Colonels scoredtwo plays later and dom-inated the rest of thegame, eventually routingthe visiting Ballard Bru-ins from Louisville, 48-21,inaKHSAAClass6Astatesemifinal at Dixie’s RiceMountjoy Stadium. Dixie(13-1) will play in the statechampionship game forthefirst timeinschoolhis-tory, playing LouisvilleTrinity 7 p.m. EDT Dec. 6in Bowling Green.

“It’s something youdream about when you’rea kid,” Zajac said. “It’s as-tonishing knowing thatnext week I will on myway down to WesternKentucky University andplaying for a state titleagainst Trinity. It’s adream come true. You al-ways hear how big andstrong they are and wehave a chance to showhow strong we are.”

The visiting Bruins(10-4) had only lost toLouisville powers Male(50-13), St. Xavier (17-0)and Manual (13-7) duringthe season andwere in thesemis for the first timesince 1992. They con-

trolled the action in thefirst exchange of posses-sions.

On Dixie’s first drive,the Colonels faced fourth-and-1 from the Ballard 45,andon thesnap theBruinsstormed into the back-field and stopped Zajacfor a four-yard loss. TheBruins took the ball thereand went 51 yards toscore, with the key play aColonels offside penaltywhen the Bruins hadfourth-and-3 from theDixie 13-yard line. On thenext snap, junior RyanDawkins carried it fromeight yards out to put theBruins on the board with4:40 to go in the first.

The Colonels took thekickoff at their 20 andwent nine yards in threeplays to force their fatefuldecision at their own 29.

“Coach wanted to puntbut all usplayersknewwewere going to get that oneyard,” Zajac said. “I keptmy head down and low-ered my shoulders.They’ll listen to us if wefeel we can make theplay.”

Brossart checked withhis defensive coordinatorand made the decision.

“That was a toughcall,”Brossartsaid. “I justsaid ‘We’ve got Luke Za-jac, surely we can get afoot.’ We were puntinginto the wind, If weweren’t punting into thewind, I think we were go-ing to punt it. We believein our guys and he got thefirst down, barely.”

After Zajac producedthe clutch first down, hebroke a pair of tackles onthe next play at the line ofscrimmage and sprintedinto open field for a 24-yard gain to Ballard’s 46.On the very next snap,senior quarterback DrewMoore spun and went offright tackle, running un-touched for a TD. EthanSchulte’s PAT tied thegame 7-7 with 2:16 to go inthe first quarter.

“Drew is incrediblewith the read-option,” Za-jac said. “He knows whento give it andwhen to takeit. He shows with hisquickness and ability, it’svery hard to stop him.”

Momentum clearlychanged after that. Bal-lard went three-and-outon its next possession,which ended in a bad snapon the punt attempt andthe Colonels tackling thepunter at the Ballard 3.Zajac punched it in on thefirst playwith44 ticks leftin the first, and Dixie led14-7 after the PAT.

After a short punt byBallard, Dixie got the ballat the Bruin 46. Moore’sfirst long pass of the day,into the back of the end-zone, drew a pass-inter-ference call which set uptheColonelsat theBallard15. One play later, Zajacdragged several playersfrom both teams into theendzone as a big pile ofplayers stood upright. Itwas 21-7 with eight min-utes left in the half.

The Bruins then gavethe ball right back after abadexchangeonanoption

play. Zajac recovered atthe Ballard 33. Mooremade it 27-7 before thePAT with a 17-yard runfour minutes until half-time.

The Colonels kept roll-ing on their final drive ofthe half after a more con-ventional fourth-down de-cision. Facing fourth-and-8 from theBallard 34,Moore rolled out to hisleft, evaded the rush, andlaunched the ball about 50yards into the back of theendzone, where GuntherFaethmadeadivingcatchas the ball just went be-yond the reach of a Bruindefender. The kick wasblocked,butDixie led34-7with 31 seconds left in thehalf.

“They had great teamspeed,” Brossart said ofBallard. “They had all themomentum at midfieldand our kids had to adjustto their speed. They’recoached really well. ThatWing-T is hard to defend,a lot of cross-blocking,trapping, pulling andmis-direction, It took us awhile tobeardownandad-just to what they were do-

ing.”The Colonels con-

tinued to control things inthe second half, scoringon its first possessionwhen Zajac scored histhird TD with 5:51 to playin the third. Moore had a28-yard scamper on thedrive, and Zajac a 22-yardgain. Senior AndrewShearouse scored Dixie’slast TD.

“I thought for aboutfour minutes we were thebest team on the field andafter those four minutes,we made a few mistakesand against a good team,you do not make mis-takes,” saidBallard coachMike Jackson. “They cap-italized on every mistakewe made, they turnedshort fields into touch-downs and by that time itwas kind of over. It wastough to stop their run-ning attack.”

Dixie outgained Bal-lard341-90,with282yardson the ground. Moorerushed for 150 yards on11tries, and completed 4-of-7 passes for 59 yardswith one TD. Zajac had105 rushing yards on 17

tries with the threescores.He also had a fum-ble recovery on defenseand played a lot on specialteams.

“There isn’t a kid in 6Athat plays as much foot-ball as Luke Zajac,” Bros-sart said. “We tried to two-platoonacoupleyearsagoand it doesn’t work. He’sone of our best kids andwe want him on the field.He doesn’t leave the field,he’s on kickoff returns,field goals. He hardlycomes off the field offen-sively. He is a great foot-ball player. He’s what it’sall about and I’m realproud of him.”

Trinity (9-5) had lostthree of its last four regu-lar-season games, butavenged two of those de-feats in the playoffs, beat-ing Male 38-31 and St. Xa-vier 9-3.

“It’s a great opportuni-ty for these kids to jumponabusandplaysomeonelikeLouisvilleTrinitywhois a top 25 program in thecountry,” Brossart said.“That says volumes aboutour program.We’re goingto enjoy the week andwe’re going to prepare tobeat them.”

Ballard did not playTrinity this year but Jack-son had a good feel for theShamrocks’ roster andthinks the Colonels canprevail.

“Trinity is very well-coachedand theyhaveex-ceptional players,” Jack-son said. “But the kind ofthings thatDixie doeswillprobably give Trinity afew problems. It’s an of-fense they haven’t seenbefore, and they’re veryphysical up front on de-fense.Trinitywilldosomethings to exploit them inthe passing game a littlebit. Can Dixie play wellenough in the secondaryand put pressure on thepasser? Dixie is a verygood all-around footballteam.”

FORT MITCHELL — Ten-time state championMay-field will be making thetrip to Bowling Green forthe KHSAA 1A statechampionship game forthe sixth straight year.And for the fifth timedur-ing that stretch, theCardi-nals advanced by endingBeechwood’s season witha 35-24 result.

Mayfield jumped ontop 14-0 early in the firstquarter, thanks in largepart to juniorLaneKenne-more, and never trailed.Beechwoodmade a come-back at the end of the sec-ond quarter and to startthe second half, but theCardinals weathered thestorm by hitting big playsin the passing game andforcing turnovers on de-fense.

“I thought we’d be ableto run the ball just a littlebit better than we did.Their offensive and de-fensive lines are reallygood,” Mayfield coachJoeMorris said. “Thewaythey play takes five or sixminutes off the clockwithhow they run the ball. Wegot that two-score leadandforcedthemtotryandspeed up.”

Kennemore added thatgaining the early momen-tum was key to the vic-tory.

“We knew we had tocomeout andbust them in

the mouth real quick,” hesaid. “We had to get themomentum first. Wecame into the gamehyped, and that play justadded a tidal wave of mo-mentum to it. This is thegreatest feeling ever.”

Friday night’s gamemarked the last playoffmeeting between Beech-woodandMayfield for theforeseeable future asMayfield will be movingup to 2A next season, butBeechwood coach NoelRash hopes the game willcontinue.

“I’m sad to see it end,”Beechwood coach NoelRash said. “I’m sure we’llplay each other. We’ll fig-ure out a way to play eachother and stuff like that.It’s a great rivalry.They’ve been on top thewhole time and I knowthat, but our kids cherishthis challenge.”

The first quarter was anightmare for the Tigers.

Kennemore intercept-ed Beechwood quarter-back Kyle Fieger on hissecond play from scrim-mage at the Tigers’ own15. Three plays later,sophomore running backTrajon Bright pounded itinto the endzone fromthree yards out.

Beechwood looked likeithadbouncedbackon theensuing drive as itmarched down the fieldintoMayfield territory on12 plays. However, aftermoving the ball all the

way down to the 1-yardline with a heavy dose ofjuniorEthanStringerrun-ning over the right side oftheoffensive line, theCar-dinals stuffed Stringerthree times in a row fromthe 1 to force a turnoveron downs.

Mayfield coach JoeMorris took ahuge risk onthe very next play, callingfor a pass from the shad-ows of his own endzone,but it paid off as sopho-more quarterback Lan-don Arnett hit Kenne-more in stride 25 yards upthe field. Kennemore ranthe rest of the way for aschool record 99-yardtouchdown reception tomake it 14-0 with 3:02 leftin the first quarter.

“It’s one of those dealswhere if it works I looklike a hero and if it doesn’tthen everybody is won-dering what the heck I’mdoing,” Morris said. “Iwas looking for them toblitz, and we just wantedto try and get on top ofthem. We took a shot outthere, andourkidsmadeagreat throw and a greatcatch.”

Arnett finished thegame8-of-14 for246yardspassing with two touch-downs and one intercep-tion.

Beechwood moved theball again on its nextdrive, taking off over sixminutes of game time andspanning 73 yards, buthad to settle for a 24-yard

field goal from juniorMa-rio German.

Mayfield answeredback with another quickstrike. Arnett found sen-ior Marshall Bacon for a53-yard completion on thethird play of the drive,and Bright made it a 21-3game with 6:28 left in thehalf on a 1-yard touch-down plunge.

The Tigers finallyfound the endzone ontheir final possession ofthe first half when Fiegercapped a 13-play drivewith a 15-yard touchdownpass to senior JeremyBurns to make the half-time score 21-10.

Beechwood caught abreak out of halftimewhen Mayfield fumbledits first punt attempt ofthe game, and senior Ri-ley McKown recovered itand returned it to theMayfield 4. Stringerscored a play later tomake it a one-possessiongame.

Mayfield’s lead wasdown to 28-24 at the endofthe third quarter after a24-yard touchdown passfrom Fieger to BrettSlusher on 4th-and-3, butthe Cardinals came upwith another huge defen-sive play when Baconpicked Fieger off and re-

NKU Notes» The Northern Ken-

tucky University men’ssoccer team’s seasoncame to an end in Nash-ville when the Norse fellto Florida Gulf Coast, 2-0,in the Atlantic Sun Cham-pionships semifinals but alook back on the seasonshowed a tale of progressthrough a long 22-gameyear.

The 2014 seasonkickedoff in Highland HeightsonAug.17when theNorsehosted Kentucky in theirannual preseason exhibi-tion. Extra seating had tobe brought into the NKUSoccer Stadium to accom-modate the record setting

crowd of 1,934 fans whocame to watch the Norseand Wildcats battle to ascoreless draw. It was thelargest crowd for anyNKUhomesportingeventoutside of men’s basket-ball.

Themost dramaticwinof the season came onSept. 23 when the Norsehosted Wright State. TheRaiders led theNorse, 2-0,at halftime as the matchappeared to be all but lost.Kobie Qualah led thecharge for the Norse inthesecondhalfwithagoalin the 70th minute. Thecelebration was shortlived as Wright State net-ted another goal in the74th minute, extendingthe lead to 3-1. Two min-utes later, Qualah scoredhis second goal of thematchand themomentumshifted to the Norse, whostill trailed by a goal. Inthe80thminute, theNorsewere awarded a penaltyafter a Wright State de-fender committed a hand-

ball and Cian McDonaldconverted the spot kick,tying the match. Thegame went into overtimeand McDonald sealed theNKU win less than twominutes into extra timewith a 30-yard strike.NKU won, 4-3, in whatwould be their most im-pressive offensive dis-play of the season.

The Norse were on theoutside looking in at thepostseason picture butone win can change a sea-son. The win would comeon Senior Night when theNorse hosted Stetson,who were the sitting atopthe A-Sun standings witha 4-1 conference record.The first 100 minutes ofthematchwere scoreless,and with their season onthe line, freshman DiegoMartinez smashed in hisfirst career NKU goal togive theNorse the1-0win.The game would end upseeing the Norse qualifyfor the A-Sun Champion-ships as the No. 6 seed.

SHORT HOPS

LEXINGTON—On a dayof milestones and historyfor Northern Kentuckyrunners, it was all aboutfamily for SamanthaHentz.

The St. Henry DistrictHigh School senior ran onher fourth state champi-onship teamNov.8atKen-tucky Horse Park, finish-ing fifth individually tolead the Crusaders to theKHSAA Class 1A state ti-tle. St. Henry won itsfourth consecutive cham-pionship and 10th in thelast 12 seasons. Hentz’ssisterCourtneyHentz ranonthreeof thoseearlier ti-tle teams, and was one ofmany family members inattendance at the meet.

“It’s good to have mywhole family supportingus, and a lot of peoplecame from the school tosupport us,” Sam Hentzsaid.

The four-peat is thefirst in Crusaders’ histo-ry, and head coach TonyHarden believes Sam isthe only girls runner to be

on four state title teams.Hewas an early influenceto Sam at a young age.

“Ever since I was 5- or6-years old, Mr. Hardenwas coaching the team,”she said. “I would go tomeets with my older sis-ter and every meet hewould always ask ‘Whenare you going to run forme, buddy?’ Every meet.I’d be like ‘Next year.’ I al-ways wanted to and now Iget the chance to.”

The Crusaders hadfour individual medalistsin the top10, led byHentz,Renee Svec (sixth), HollyBlades (seventh) and Lib-by Anneken (10th). Eliza-beth Hoffman roundedout the five scorers in13th.

“Our top five pushedeach other a lot,” Hentzsaid. “Every day in prac-tice, we’re out there backand forth pushing eachother, helping each other

along and motivatingeach other. (It’s) the hap-piest day ever so far. I’mso proud of everyone. I’mso happy to leave my sen-ior year on a good note.”

The group had sweptthe top five spots at theRegion 4meet and did thesame at the NorthernKentucky Athletic Con-ference championships.St. Henry scored 33points, a school recordlowat state, andposted its

17th overall state champi-onship, a state record.

“We’re the first girlsteam to be perfect in theconference, and as far asI’ve been told, the firstNorthern Kentucky teamtobeperfect in theregion-al,”Hardensaid. “Nowforthem to come down hereand do this it’s a specialyear. It all starts with thekids. They work hard ev-ery day in practice. Theydon’t want to let each oth-er down. The family spiritreally puts them over thetop.”

Hentz and Annekenwere the seniors in thestarting seven as the Cru-saders drive for five in2015 with Harden incharge.

“We could never havedone this without Mr.Harden,” Hentz said. “Welove him so much. He’ssuchagreatcoachandI’mgoing to miss him a lot.I’mgoing tomiss the teama lot. We’re such a bigfamily. We worked reallyhard to get here and I’mreally happy our hardwork paid off.”

The St. Henry boys

team was second in Class1A to Bishop Brossart forthe second straight year.The Crusaders scored 88points to 56 for the Mus-tangs. Josh Hannon fin-ished fourth to lead theway. St. Henry had twoseniors in the startingseven in Robert Brock-man and Scott Wilson.

U.S. Secretary of Edu-cation Arne Duncan hasannounced that GatewayCommunity and Techni-cal College is one of only24 institutions of highereducation nationwide se-lected to receive the firstround of grant awards aspart of the First in theWorld Program adminis-tered by the U.S. Depart-ment of Education Officeof Postsecondary Educa-tion.

The First in the WorldGrant Competition wascreated to seek out pro-posals for unique and in-novative strategies thatwould help increase na-tional postsecondarygraduation rates.

Gateway proposed tointegrate evidence-basedstrategies that, within onestreamlined framework,will seamlessly deliverthree interventions to a

target population of de-gree-seeking studentswho have at least one de-velopmental need.

Through its FlexibleLearning and Explorationspace (FLEXspace) pro-ject, Gateway will ad-dress the specific chal-lenges that communitycolleges face related toaccess, engagement andcompletion of underpre-pared, underrepresentedand low-income students.

The announcement ofGateway’s $3.6 million,four-year grant, alongwith that of the other 23institutions awarded, oc-curred during a nation-wide conference call onSept. 30.

The grant competitionwas open to all institu-tions of higher education.Gateway is the only col-legeawarded inKentuckyand Ohio.

“Each grantee demon-strated a high-quality,creative and sound ap-proach to expand collegeaccess and improve stu-dent outcomes,” Duncansaid. “We are confidentthese projects will have apositive impact on in-creasing access and com-pletion and help us reachPresident Obama’s 2020goal, to once again havethe highest share of col-lege graduates in theworld.”

“Gateway is thrilled tobepart of this national ini-tiative and to be workingtoward this goal in thecompany of such out-standing educational in-stitutions as Purdue Uni-versity in Indiana andHampton University inVirginia,” said GatewayPresident Dr. Ed Hughes.“I’m pleased that our tal-ented faculty and staff

are being recognized fortheir innovative approachto creating active learn-ing environments that webelieve will increase stu-dent completion.

Question: Since wehave already had snowand ice, I guess it’s toolate to fertilize my lawnand landscape now, isn’tit? I meant to do it thisfall, but I never gotaround to it. Should Ifertilize next May afterthe ground thaws? Doyou recommend a 10-10-10 fertilizer for lawnsand landscapes, or is ahigher nitrogen productbetter for lawns?

Answer: Actually,this is still an excellenttime to fertilize yourlawn, trees and shrubs.Those plants have rootsthat continue to activelyseek out water and nu-trients as long as theground is not frozensolid. Septemberthrough the end of De-cember are the verybest months to fertilizelawns, and late Novem-ber through early De-cember is the ideal timeto fertilize landscapetrees and shrubs.

Too much nitrogen,phosphorus, potassiumor lime can be harmfulto your lawn and land-scape plants. Soil test-ing is a free serviceprovided to NorthernKentucky residents bytheir local County Ex-tension Office.

A soil test often re-veals that the soil onlyneeds nitrogen, inwhich case you canpurchase a cheaper,“farm-type” fertilizer,such as urea (46-0-0).Or, you may find thatyour soil is high in phos-

phorus(the mid-dle num-ber onthe fertil-izer bag),but itneedsnitrogenand po-tassium(the firstand third

numbers on the fertiliz-er bag), so a 10-0-10fertilizer would be ide-al.

The only way toknow what numbers tolook for as you are buy-ing fertilizer is to lookat the results of yoursoil test. If your groundtests low in phosphorus,you’ll want to select afertilizer with a highmiddle number, such as10-20-10.

If you catch andremove the grass clip-pings from the yardwhen you mow, you mayneed to apply morephosphorus and potassi-um to the soil, since theclippings contain freenutrients (so don’t re-move them in mostcases).

To maintain a qualitylawn, you should applyfertilizer every year.Fertilization helpsmaintain turf uniformi-ty, a good green color,and reduces weed prob-lems. These positiveeffects can be lost, how-ever, if fertilizer isapplied improperly orat the wrong time. Toomuch or too little fertil-izer can result in more

lawn disease problemsand brown patches.

Low and mediummaintenance levels (1-2fall treatments only)are best for generallawns that get little orno summer irrigation.High and very highmaintenance levels dueto heavy fertilization(i.e., 3-4 fall fertilizationtreatments) can pro-duce a lush, green lawn,but usually requiremore irrigation, fre-quent mowing, andoften more pest control.

Trees growing in thelawn area usually re-ceive adequate nutri-ents from the lawn fer-tilizer. Shrubs in land-scape beds near thefoundation may needtheir soil tested andfertilized separately.

Don’t miss the clos-ing December windowof opportunity for fer-tilizing your lawn andlandscape. Waiting untilspring to fertilize willmean more weeds, dis-eases and pests nextyear.

The Kentucky Assis-tive Technology ServiceNetwork’s StatewideHearing Aid Assistanceand Reuse Program(SHARP) is acceptinghearing aids of any age orcondition. Donors can calltheKATSNetwork at 800-327-5287 to request a self-addressed stamped enve-lope or drop hearing aidsoff at a participating col-lection center. In North-ern Kentucky, the collec-

tion center is RedwoodAssistive TechnologyCenter, 71 OrphanageRoad, Fort Mitchell.

Medicare and mosthealth insurance plans docover hearing aids. Theaverage cost of one newhearing aid is about$3,000, said Brown.

“By the end of lastyear, the number of Ken-tuckianswhoweredeaforhard of hearing was near-ly 695,000, or close to 20percent of the population.Not all of those peoplewould need a hearing aid,but a large percentagewould,” said JimmyBrown, KATS Networkdirector.

Donated hearing aidswill be evaluated and ei-ther refurbished with aone-year warranty, orused for parts. Refur-bished hearing aids willbe provided to those whoqualify throughanetworkof participating hearinghealth professionals. Re-cipients will be responsi-ble for covering the costof the audiologist feessuch as exams, fittingsand follow-up visits.

Kentuckians who needassistance getting hear-ing aids can contact theKATS Network at 800-327-5287.
