CATCHING UP A8Boone soccer defense improving
The student body atBooneCountySchools the third largest school
dis-trict in the state is growing, not onlyin numbers, but academic
achieve-ment.
According to the results of Ken-tuckysannualschoolreportcard,
thedistrictmoved from last years profi-cient to a distinguished
classifica-tion, scoring a 63.3 overall score. Thedistrict now
ranks in the top 10 per-
cent in the state.Our district works
as a team to create aculture that supportseverystudent
inBooneCounty, Superinten-dent Randy Poe said.While we are
ecstaticwith these results, it isonly one point of datashowing our
progress
of having all students being career,college and life ready. This
accom-plishment validates the work of ourteachers and students in
the 21st cen-tury skills of communication, criticalthinking,
collaboration, and creativ-ity that are required so that all
stu-dents are competitive in their chosenpath after graduating high
school.
The report card scores are basedon multiple academic measures,
in-cluding student scores on state tests,graduation rates and
college or ca-reer readiness.
Success in such a large, diversedistrict student population just
sur-passed 20,000 does not come easy,according to Boone County
HighSchool Principal Mark Raleigh.
It is a result of a very dedicatedand talentedprofessional staff
that isable to target instructionandprovideunique learning
experiences for allstudents no matter their back-ground, he said
Mark Raleigh.
Boone County and the districtsother three high schools earned

score of 61.9 to 73.4,bumping the school fromthe 67th percentile
to the96th.
It is quite a jump,Kelly Elementary Princi-pal Joe Beil said.
Multi-ple factors contribute tothe gains realized thisyear. At
Kelly, the stu-dents, staff and parentswork collaboratively
toensure a strong sense ofcommunity and high ex-pectations. We
strive togive students individualattention. The multiplemeasures we
takethroughout the yearthrough formal and infor-mal assessments
enableus to target and addressspecific academicneeds.
Beil explained that asnew standards in lan-guagearts
andmathwereadopted inFebruary2010,Kelly, alongwith all otherBoone
schools, immedi-ately began concentrat-ed efforts to
deconstructthestandards,andto initi-ate development and
im-plementation.
In addition, the dis-tricts support for ourteachers
developmentand implementationofef-fective, vetted, and sus-tainable
instructionalpractices aligned with
the common core con-tinues to be paramount,he said.
The districts Directorof Assessment SupportBen Lusk said
adminis-trators and staff arevery excited to see con-tinued growth
across thedistrict.
We can see the effectof a number of our initia-tives and the
intentionalfocus of our teachers tomeet the needs of theirstudents,
he said.
Most schools withinthe district fared aboutthe same or moved to
ahigher classification.Conner Middle School,however,went
fromadis-tinguished classificationto proficient. Yealey
andLongbranch Elementarydropped from proficientto needs
improvement.
According toAssistantSuperintendent forLearning Support
Ser-vices Alissa Ayers, overthe next month, the dis-trict will
analyze eachcomponent of the new ac-countability system.
Each of our schools,regardless of their classi-fication,
dissects the datato identify areas ofgrowth in order to
contin-uously improve instruc-tion for all students, shesaid. Those
schools whodid not meet their goalsmine the data further toanalyze
trends, deter-mine causes, and plan forimprovements. As a
Dis-tinguished District,Boone County supportsthe work of each
schoolcouncil to individualizeinstruction, align curri-culum,
identify profes-sional developmentneeds, and develop im-provement
plans that arespecific, measurable, at-tainable, and focused
ongrowth.

FLORENCE The Ken-tucky Symphony Orches-tra kicks off its 22nd
sea-son with Joe Greens200th Birthday Bash.
The Oct. 10 birthday ofcomposerGiuseppiVerdi,whose name is
translatedto Joe Green, will be cele-brated by the orchestra,and
attendees, at 8 p.m.Saturday Oct. 5, at Flor-ence Baptist Church
atMt. Zion.
Ticketsare$19,$27and$35 and are half-off forstudents 6-18.
Music director JamesCassidy said he liked theidea of being able
to do aperformance so close toVerdis actual 200th birth-day, doing
somethingthats kind of fun andsomething thats off ourbeaten
path.
Theres a lot of musicthat will be familiar tothose in the
audience.
Part of that is becauseits public domain, saidCassidy. Another
reason?The fact that its so tune-ful.
Birthday cannoli willbe served after the con-cert.
Where do you getbirthday canolli after aconcert? Cassidy
asked.You dont get that any-where, (but) you get thathere in
Northern Ken-tucky.
Venturing off the beat-en path is nothing new forthe KSO.
Somethingsareaone-time (production), saidCassidy. You really
willnot get this any placeelse.
That may be hard forfolks to think about wheninformation can be
readi-ly found, ourworldatourfinger tips, Cassidy said.
Its not always the real-ity and you certainlycant get it
live.
That, Cassidy said, haskept it fresh.
I dont know that Iwouldbeexcitedgoingoffand doing what
everyoneelse does.
Cassidy says its kindof hard to believe thesymphony is entering
its22nd season.
While KSO offices are
in Newport, Cassidy saidtheyll perform in thethree Northern
Kentuckycounties this season.
Not having their ownperformance space, how-ever, means theyre
outin the community all thetime.
It makes you a littlemore responsive and a lit-tle more
flexible, Cassi-dy said. At the sametime, there are draw-backs to
it too. (You) canthave the setups and thethings youd like to
havefor the patrons.
Other regular perfor-mances this season in-clude:
the United States or-chestral debut of 2Cellosat 8 p.m.
Saturday, Nov. 2,at Florence BaptistChurch at Mt. Zion;
a co-production ofThe Sound of MusicwithTheCarnegie, sched-uled
several times Jan.17-26;
Globetrotting withthe KSO, featuring 10works under 10
minuteseach by composers fromnine countries and fivecontinents on
March 28and 29 at Northern Ken-tucky University; and
Williams WondrousWorld, featuring the mu-sic of John Williams
per-formed at Florence Bap-tist Church at Mt. Zion onMay 10.

UNION Greyson Bar-ber, a fifth-grade studentat Mann Elementary,
ishonest.
There are days, hesaid, that he doesnt wantto come to school.
Some-times he wants to sleep inor spend the day playing.This
changes, however,when he walks throughthe front doors.
I love Mann becauseof the happiness and joythat goes around
ourschool, Barber said.
That, according toPrincipal Connie Crigger,is why Mann
Elementaryis a 2013 National BlueRibbon School.
Thats it in a nutshell.Thatswhat youwant, thatthe kids will walk
in thisbuilding eager to learn,she said. Academicscome with a place
theyare proud of, a place theylove to be.
Mann is one of onlyfive schools in Kentuckyto receive the
recognitionfromtheU.S.Departmentof Education this year;only 286
schools in the na-tion were given the honorthat is based on
theschools overall academicexcellence or their pro-gress in
improving stu-dent academic achieve-ment.
It just feels really
awesome, said Crigger.Everyone is very excit-ed. Its recognition
forsomething I already knew that this is an amazingschool. Its a
prestigiousaward and its unique thatwe were able to do this inseven
years.
Mann was establishedin 2006 and has about 800students a year in
pre-school through gradefive.
Since the beginning,weve always put the kidsfirst, Crigger said.
Wehave a staff made up ofsuperstars who give 110percent to the kids
at alltimes. We have parentswho volunteer daily. Onan average day,
we have20 parents here. You com-bine that with a qualifiedstaff its
a winning combi-nation.
During Manns firstyear, Crigger said thestate set a goal for
everyschool to reach proficientstatus on state tests by2014.
We tested above (thestates goal of 100) andstayed at proficiency
ev-ery year, Crigger said.Last year we had a newtest system and we
cameout distinguished. We re-ceived a distinguishedrating this year
too. Itstough to get up there andstay up there. Were al-ways
challenging our-selves and the kids to take
learning to the next lev-el.
Karen Cheser, deputysuperintendent and chiefacademic officer
forBoone County Schools,said the district is ex-tremely proud.
This recognition dem-onstrates the school's con-stant focus on
preparingall students for21st centu-ry careers, she said.Teachers
and staff atMann hold high expecta-tions of academic excel-lence
and provide sup-ports necessary for allstudents to achieve
them.That Mann Elementarywas able to achieve thislevel of
recognition, onlyseven years after beingopened, is amazing.
According to Cheser,Mann epitomizes the vi-sion of the Boone
CountySchool District ensur-ing all students are col-lege, career,
and lifeready; that pathway be-gins in elementaryschool.

FLORENCE Lurkingwithin that perfect Nor-man Rockwell child
mayjust be a darker side.
That sums up the mes-sage Boone County HighSchool senior
ChelsiHerzner tries to conveythrough her art.
I like exploring theduality of things likeyouthful innocence
andevil, the Florence resi-dent said. People per-ceive things as
beinggood, but dont necessar-ily understand the under-lying factors
or circum-stances of life. The out-side is pretty, but the in-side
is dark.
Herzner referencesthis duality in Play-ground Purgatory,
herfavorite of several piecesshe has on display in the
Youth Gallery at The Car-negie in Covingtonthrough Saturday,
Oct. 12.The drawing depicts a lit-
tle girl jumping rope.Shes the picture of inno-cence, but has
glaringsharp teeth that seem to
jumpoutfromthepicture.Shes a little darker
thanpeoplewouldassumethatshewouldbe,Herzn-er said referring to
thechild portrayed in herdrawing. Shes essential-ly blending in to
the back-ground because no onereally sees who she reallyis.
Playground Purgato-ry and several otherpieces by Herzner are
ondisplay as a result of herwinning a Kentucky Cen-ter Governors
School forthe Arts Carnegie Schol-arship.
Each year The Carne-gie partners with Ken-tucky Center
GovernorsSchool for the Arts athree-week summeryouth art program
toaward at least three $500scholarships.
MattDistel,TheCarne-gies exhibition director,participated in
this yearsselection process.
I was looking for notjust technique, but inno-vation and risk
taking,Distel said. Chelsis artspoke to that.
Alongwith the scholar-shipmonies, the awardaf-fordstudents
theopportu-nity to have their workdisplayed.
Its really about en-couragement as much asit is as the
acknowledg-mentofhighqualityart. Itlets students know that(art) is
a path they cantake in educational andthe rest of their life.
This marks Herznersfirst solo exhibition.
Its thebestfeelingbe-cause ... its hard to putinto words, she
said. Itsso surreal to see yourworkwith theworkof oth-er artists.
Its flattering. Itmakes it seemreal this isgoing to happen.
She refers to herdreamofpursuingher tal-ent.
Its art school or noth-ing, Herzner said.Thats the only way I
canlook at it. Youre all in orits not in the picture.
She plans to attend Sa-vannahCollege ofArt andDesign in
Georgia.
Herzners mother,Chasity, said she is proudof her daughter for
purs-ing her dreams.
I am most proud ofChelsi for having fullyembraced her talent
andfocusing relentlessly as tohow to achieve her futuregoals and
pave her path-way to a career that sheloves, she said. Chelsihas
always strived to not
just broaden her horizonsbut to explore the un-known.
According to Chelsi,who had been focused onathletics, her
passion forart was accidentallystumbled upon.
I started doodling inclass, she said. I washaving trouble
concen-trating. I couldnt takenotes but I could drawfaces. It took
off fromthere. Doodling actuallyenhances the ability tocomprehend.
Doodlesevolve into something,doodles mean some-thing.
Herzner primarilyworks with graphite andcharcoal, but has
ex-plored other mediums inher recent work.
My work is not yetphoto realism, but its notexpressionistic, she
said.Its very soft. Its fuzzyand its kinda darker thanmost people
expect. Thepicturesareprettybut themessages have a heavyfeel.
Although she admits tonever being satisfiedwiththe final
product, she saidshe loves the creativeprocess.
During the process Ican breathe, she said. Ifinish apiece and
start an-other one and I canbreathe again.

ERLANGER Recentcorruption cases in someNorthern Kentucky cit-ies
have drawn the stateauditor to the region sev-eral times this
year.
Kentucky AuditorAdam Edelen will makeanother trip here Tues-day,
Oct. 15, to have asummit to discuss withthe public and local
elect-ed leaders how to catchmisuse of public funds.
I think were all a lit-tle shockedat thenumberof abuses of
public trustweve seen as of late,Edelen told The Enquirerafter
speaking with theNorthern KentuckyChamber about his initia-tive in
a private luncheonin Erlanger on Wednes-day.
Were here to discusssolutions.
Edelen, a DemocratfromLexington, has beenconsidered a
potential2015 gubernatorial candi-date, though he has yet
toannounce his intentions.
So far in NorthernKentucky this year:
Bob Due, former fi-nance director for thecity of Covington
whowas firedAug. 27, was ar-restedAug. 23 onchargesof embezzling at
least$600,000 fromCovington.
Former Daytonschools SuperintendentGary Rye was accused
ofreceiving $223,672 in un-authorized personalbenefits during an
eight-year period, and at a timewhen his district wasstruggling
financially,according to the state au-dit report.
Former Boone Coun-tyWaterDistrictGeneralManager Phil Trzop,
62,was sentenced to 60 daysin jail for abuse of publictrust related
to improperuse of funds fromthe saleof scrapmetal.Trzopbur-ied
$5,100 of taxpayermoney in his backyard.An additional $7,600 is
missing. Boone Countys for-
mer public works direc-tor, Greg Sketch, 57, kepta secret fund,
also fromthe sale of scrap metal,for fiveyears.Agrand ju-ry decided
not to indictSketch after investiga-tors learned a majoritywas used
to buy holidayturkeys for families ofunderprivileged childrenin
Boone County Schools.
The summit Oct. 15will seek to inform andbrainstormways to
catchthis kind of fraud early,Edelen said. This can in-clude
segregation of du-ties, where the personwriting the checks isntthe
same person balanc-ing the checkbook.
Edelen will hold thesummit at theMETSCen-ter in Erlanger and
havespeakers from aroundthe state, including theFBI and
representativesfrompublic agencies
thathaveexperiencedembez-zlement.
This includes the cityof Florence, where in2002 investigators
foundthen-Finance DirectorRon Epling embezzled al-most $5 million
from thecity over a 14-year peri-od.

RABBIT HASH Thehistoric town is taking astep into the modern
artworld.
Visitors toRabbitHashwill notice, at least for ashort time, that
the histor-ic buildings have beenplastered with photo-graphs, faces
of the com-munity,aspartof theglob-al Inside Out project.
Stacy Sims, marketingandpublic relationsdirec-tor for the
ContemporaryArts Center in downtownCincinnati, said thecenterhas
just opened the firstUnited States exhibitionof French artist
JR.
In 2011, JR won theTED prize and called forthe creation of a
globalparticipatory art projectwith the potential tochange the
world InsideOut.
They wanted to cele-brate the exhibits open-ing in the
communitywith this community-fo-
cused global art project,she said.
According to Sims, aphoto van goes into thecommunity where
peoplecanget theirphotos taken.A3-footby5-footposterofthe photo is
printed andparticipants can choose tokeep the image or have
itposted in the community.
The project visitedRabbitHash Sept. 21. Pho-tos can now be seen
past-ed, with a water solublepaste, to the Rabbit Hash
General Store and theMercantile building,barns, a bench, steps
andeven a tree.
Jane Cochran, a mem-ber of the Rabbit HashHistorical Society,
saidthe project connects usto a worldwide communi-ty.
The community thatday consisted of peoplewho live there and
folkspassing through, she said.
They picked the com-munity because a lot of
peopleliketocometoRab-bit Hash, said Cochran.
In addition to RabbitHash, the Inside Out pro-ject was at
Findlay Mar-ket and Fountain Squarein Cincinnati and theAcademy of
World Lan-guages in Evanston, Simssaid. They were thinkingabout
unique places toworkwithinthecommuni-ty andhadanumber of ur-ban
locations alreadywhen a colleague suggest-ed Rabbit Hash.
The historical societyapproved the plan.
The photos, Sims said,will stay for a while, de-pending on the
elements.Its not meant to be a per-manent installation.
Sims said what wasreally neat was that JRand his crew were able
tovisit Rabbit Hash theweekend before.
It iscertainlyanhonorand privilege for RabbitHash to have been
askedand chosen to be involved
in such a prestigiousworld-wide contempo-rary art project as
this,historical society presi-dent Don Clare said.Once again, our
smallBoone County, Ohio Riverhamlet enjoys global at-tention and
acclaim.
JRs exhibit is on dis-play at the ContemporaryArts Center
through Feb.2.

UNION Even when theyhavent met in a postseasongame, they usually
play in whatcould be described as a playoffatmosphere. That will be
thesetting again when the footballprograms at Boone County andRyle
high schools get togetherFriday, Oct. 4, for homecomingin Union.
Getting a big win willbe on the minds of the playersinvolved, as
both teams are bat-tling through uncharacteristicstruggles so far
in 2013.
Ryle is 1-5, and Boone is 0-6,and both teams lost their
firstClass 6A district game lastweek. Ryle is coming off a
46-7defeat at Simon Kenton.
I dont consider us strug-glingbecauseourguysareplay-ing as hard
as they can, RyleheadcoachBrysonWarnersaid.They dont give up, and
theywont. Our team has went outand fought, even against
SimonKenton. We did some goodthings in the second half.
Ryle has 15 sophomores onits roster and has had somegrowing
pains this season. Rylehas averaged 10 points pergame, and after
a17-10win overCooper intheseasonopener,hasnot scoredmore than two
touch-downs in any contest.
We just have to get ouryoung guys acting like veter-ans,Warner
said. Wevemademistakes that we need to
havecorrected.Wehavetogooutandexecute at a high level. Theycome
topracticeeverydaywithagreatworkethic.Theywant toget better and
improve. Theyare a lot of fun to coach. Wereworking hard as a staff
andtheyre working hard to get
things corrected.Boones statsaresimilar.The
Rebels scored 28 in a loss to La-fayette and 27 combined in
theother five defeats. Warner saidthepassinggamewill bekey forboth
teams. Boone averages124yards per game on the groundand 64 in the
air.
Wehave to throwtheball ef-fectively, Warner said. Werenot going
to line up and run ev-erybody over. Weve done thatin the past but
were not thatteam. We have good receiversand Ryan Woolf has been
out-standing at running back.
We have to force them topass the football. They want tospread
you out and run the foot-ball but we have to shut thatdown and
force them to pass.
Defeats aside, the Rebelsand Raiders tend to bring outthe best
in each other.
Boones new coach (JeffGriffith) is a fantastic coach,Warner
said. He has them im-proving every week. Theyrestarting to buy in
to what hedoes. Were looking forward togreat competition. Its a big
ri-valry. Its our homecoming andwere lookingforward toagreatcrowd.
Both teams highly re-spect each other.

FLORENCE The BooneCounty High School boys soc-cer team has had
to rely on itsoffense this year more thanlast, when the Rebels
madetheir first-ever trip to the statesemifinals.
Fortunately for Boone, theoffense has relied on manyweapons this
year, and the de-fense is nowcatching up as thepostseason
nears.
The defense the past twoor three games has played tru-ly well,
said head coach Na-thanBrowning. Weremovingin the right
direction.Theguysare working hard.
The Rebels allowed onlyone goal each in wins over Co-vington
Catholic and Pendle-ton County, which improvedthe record to 12-4-1
overall en-tering play Sept. 30.
That followed a stretch inwhich the Rebels allowed twogoals or
more in five straightgames, including three in aone-goalwin over
district rivalRyle. Boone has posted threeshutouts this season and
al-lowed 31 goals in 17 matches.
The concern has been inex-perience in the back line grow-ing
into roles. A veteran de-fense had four straight shut-outs in the
postseason in 2012but many of those playersgraduated.
Communication is key,Browning said. For the mostpart, we lost
all our guys in theback and these guys are new inthe position on
varsity. Havingthose guys know where eachother is supposed to be,
some-times that takes a little longer.Last year they jelled
prettyquickly and improved greatlyat the end of the year. Wewantto
help them improve and theyhave.
The offense is still the bestin theNinthRegion, averaging3.5
goals per game, roughlyequal to Newport CentralCatholic. Boone was
the high-est scoring team in the regionin 2012.
Senior Evan OHara, a re-turning all-state player, has 19goals
and seven assists. HavenBorkowski has increased hisoutput this
year, averaging 13goals and six assists. SeniorBrett Mayberry had
eightgoals and 11 assists. MichaelCarroll has nine assists andBrent
Rice eight.
Offensively, its been ourstrength, Browning said.Weve scored a
lot of goals.Weve got some balance. Theguys all get along really
well.They hang out outside of soc-cer practice and that makesthem a
tight-knit group. Thatmakes chemistry stronger onthe field as
well.
Boone was scheduled tohave senior night Oct. 1, then
hosts St. Henry Oct. 3, Thurs-day, in its final home game ofthe
regular season.
St. Henry is a top team ev-ery year, Browning said. Ev-ery time
we play them, its aquality game. Steve Hahn getsthem prepared and
ready toplay and he does a great job.We have our work cut out
forus. Weve played tough teamsall season so its nothing wehavent
been used to already.

SIDELINES
Ryle golf on the upswing
Covington Catholic had allfour of its players whosescores
counted in its team totalshoot 77 or less, but Ryle hadthe top two
individual finishersand that was good enough forthe Raiders to
break a three-year streak of runner-up fin-ishes to CovCath in the
Region7 boys golf tournament.
Ryle junior Logan Gammfired a 1-under par 71, whichwas good for
individual medal-ist, and junior teammate ZachAdams shot a 72 to
help theRaiders edge CovCath, 307-308, for the team title on
Mon-day, Sept. 30, at Boone LinksGolf Course, which played at6,700
yards over the Brook-view and Lakeview sides.
Both teams advance to thestate tournament, which willbe played
Oct. 8-9 at BowlingGreen Country Club.
Its nice to break the
curse, said Ryle coach Jona-thanEhlen. Nowtheboysreal-ize every
shot counts. Every-one really grinded it out on ev-erysingle
shot.Wevehadarol-lercoaster ride of a season.
Ryle also got an 80 from itsNo. 1 player Austin Squires,who is
also a junior, and an 84from Davis McNichol for itsteam total.
Austin Zapp firedan 85, which didnt count in theteam total.
Its nice that I have fiveguys that at any time can ex-change
with each other, saidEhlen. Everyone asks, Who ismy No. 1 guy? and
its a toughanswer which is a good prob-lem.
The Ryle High School golfteam has enjoyed a successfulseason.
The Raiders won theGrant County Invitational forthe second straight
year, Sept.21, at Eagle Creek CountryClub. Austin Squires was
med-alist with a score of 66, fol-lowed by teammates LoganGammat
68, ZacharyAdamsat70, Davis McNichol at 75 andAustinZappat 78.
Twodays lat-
er, Sept. 23, the team won theNorthern Kentucky
AthleticConference tournament atHickory Sticks Golf Course.
Adams paced the squad with a72. Squires shot a 73, Gamm a74,
Zapp a 76 and McNichol an81.

A publication of
Scouts clean upOn Saturday, Sept. 28, the
Cub Scouts from Pack 833 par-ticipated in the Boone CountyTrash
for Cash program.
The scouts, ranging in agefrom 6 to 13, picked up trashalong
Chambers Road and Wal-ton Community Park. Thisevent not only helps
raise mon-ey to fund activities for thescouts throughout the year,
butmore importantly it teaches theboys a very valuable messageat a
pivotal age about the impor-tance of community service. Itis the
responsibility of everycitizen in our community tokeep our town
beautiful. Partic-ipating in this program gives
the scouts the opportunity tosee firsthand the amount oftrash
that is carelessly tossedfrom car windows while driv-ing down the
road or dropped inthe playgrounds that the kids ofour community
play in. Theboys learned howdisgusting lit-tering is no matter
where it isdone.
This invaluable lesson wasonly emphasized for the boys asthey
picked up the trash fromtheir own community wherethey live and
play. This invalu-able experience taught thescouts that providing
servicesto our community helps to keepour neighborhoods clean.

Looking for a sure-fire wayto ignite a heated
politicaldiscussion? Say the wordsAffordable Care Act, healthcare
reform or Obamacare.The changes to the healthcare system set in
motion bythe 2010 Patient Protectionand Affordable Care Act,
havesparked some of the mostheated political debates
thiscentury.
And while healthy politicalrhetoric is part of what makesthis
country great, the debatehas, for the most part, over-shadowed the
substance of thelaw. So, Id ask that you setyour political feelings
aside asyou read these next few para-graphs as a consumer, some-one
who uses the health caresystem from time to time.
First, most people whoalready have health insurancecoverage,
either from a planoffered by an employer, Medi-care or Medicaid,
will not seea whole lot change. You mayget a notice from your
em-ployer informing you of yourright to coverage. Your plansmay
have open enrollment,similar to how they do eachfall.
But, if you are one of thealmost 15 percent of Kentuck-ians who
dont have coverage,youll have new options. Themain one being that
youll beable to purchase insurancethrough whats called a healthcare
exchange.
Basically, an exchange is amarketplace. Insurers offertheir
plans and you go, eitheronline or by phone, and selectthe plan
thats best for yourneeds and budget. It does geta bit muddy here:
Somestates, including Kentucky,have decided to run their
owninsurance exchanges. Others,including Ohio and Indiana,will have
their residents pur-chase insurance on the feder-al exchange.
Kentuckys exchange iscalled kynect. You can find itonline
athttp://www.kynect.comor bycalling 1-855-4KYNECT.
Enrolling in an insuranceplan, particularly if youre notused to
it, can be confusing.Fortunately, you can accesshelp from insurance
brokersand navigators. Details onwho can perform each func-tion are
still shaping up.
If you choose to use theprofessionals help or enrollon your own,
youll need togather some information inadvance. Healthcare.gov
rec-
ommends thatyou:
Learn thebasics aboutdifferenttypes of plans,such as
healthmaintenanceorganizations,preferredprovider or-ganizationsand
cata-strophic plans.
Make a list of questionsthat you have.
Gather paperwork thatcan prove your income andidentitythis
includes yourSocial Security Number, paystubs, etc.
Gather paperwork aboutyour current insurance cov-erage,
including details onhow much you currently payin premiums; how much
youremployer contributes andcoverage available to you.
Determine your budget.What can you afford to spendon health
care?
The wheels of change inthe health care industry are inmotion. We
know that a num-ber of Northern Kentuckianslack health insurance
cov-erage, and will benefit fromthe new options offered be-cause of
the Affordable CareAct. October 1 is approachingquickly. Please
take sometime to learn how health carereform will impact your
fam-ily.

Relationships are tricky, tosay the least.
Navigating moods, roughpatches, and the general upsand downs of
life (and thatsjust with your children) canleave you frazzled. But
whatabout the other relationshipsin your life: the spouse,
co-worker, friends and family?Attempting to get along inthese
situations can leave aperson wondering, What dothey want
fromme?
Too often, we make rela-tionships in our lives morecomplicated
than they need tobe. We tend to think for theother person. Assuming
weknow what they want from usand feeling frustrated, be-cause we
cant always musterthe resources to give it.
We assume the spousewould be happier if we lostweight, so we
join the gymand the weight-loss group. Wethink the children would
behappier with more things sowe work overtime five days aweek.
As for the co-workers,neighbors and friends, weoften assume they
need ourtwo cents, so we freely giveit, telling them
step-by-step
how to ma-neuver theirstruggles (yetwe cant seemto maneuverour
own) andfeeling ex-hausted andfrustratedwhen we findthey didntheed
our well-thought-out
advice.And what about God? What
does he want fromme?Makeno mistake, God does want meto be
obedient, to walk in hisways, and to witness to othersabout
him.
Yet, above all those things,what God wants more thananything is
my heart. Andwith my heart comes my timeand attention. The Bible
tellsus that God doesnt look downfrom heaven to see if we areliving
righteously or not: TheLord looks down from heavenupon the children
of men, tosee if there are any who un-derstand, who seek
God.(Psalm14:2)
The Lord watches andwaits for us to seek him.
Interestingly, when I com-
pare what God wants with allthe other relationships in mylife, I
find what they all reallycrave is the same: my heart.And with my
heart comes mytime and attention.
Fifteen minutes playingfootball with my son goes a lotfurther
than a new pair ofNike socks. Fifteen minutesplaying Barbies with
my 5-year old, means more than anew Barbie. Fifteen
minuteslistening to my 12-year oldtalk about horses means morethan
a new riding helmet.(Well, I may be pushing it onthat last
one.)
However, one things forsure, You will showme thepath of life; in
your presenceif fullness of joy; at your righthand are pleasures
forev-ermore. (Psalm16:11)
Today, experience the full-ness of joy and pleasuresforevermore
simply by spend-ing time with God and thoseyou love.

Nicknamed theRound Mound ofSound, Price had 34
singles hit the charts. Healso was host of WLWsMidwestern
Hayrideand a cast member of thepopular television showHee Haw. He
died in1987. Recently, Price wasinducted into the North-ern
Kentucky MusicLegends Hall of Fame.
At the ceremony un-veiling the signage forthe memorial
highway,several of Kennysfriends shared memo-ries.
Colleen Sharp Mur-ray, who worked withPrice on the
WLWsMidwestern Hayride,recalled his humble na-ture.
He could do any-thing, she said. He wasremarkably talented.When
prosperity hit,everybody thought hedmove to Nashville orIndian Hill
at least. Theynever moved off LaCres-ta Drive (in Florence).
Nick Clooney, anotherfriend and regular onWLW, gave a
touchingtribute. Clooney said thatPrice was one of thebest singers
hes everheard.
He sang with greatheart and great intelli-gence, he said. All
whodrive past this sign maynot know the name, butthey will ask and
some-one will be here to say,Kenny Price was a greatsinger, a great
Kentuck-ian and a great man. Noone ever dies who isremembered.
KennyPrice will live forever.
