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 dis-tinguished classification. BooneCountyHighSchoolachievedthebig-gest improvement jump of the highschools going from a 57.6 over allscore last year to 64.7 this year. Thehigh school now ranks in the states90th percentile.

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.

Mannand theotherNa-tional Blue RibbonSchools will be honoredduring a ceremony Nov.18-19 in Washington, D.C.In its 31-year history, theNational Blue RibbonSchools Program has giv-en this award on nearly7,500 schools.

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.

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.

coming off lopsided 6A districtdefeats, Boone 42-7 to DixieHeights and Ryle 46-7 to SimonKenton.

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.

Seniors are Robert Asseo,Auston Blytone, EmmanuelBoateng, Michael Carroll, Jes-se Chang, Brian Henderson,Evan OHara, Brent Rice, JoseSanchez and Said Yedali.

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.

FLORENCE Family,friends and fans of coun-try music legend KennyPrice gathered Sept. 14at the U.S. 42 White Cas-tle to honor the BooneCounty native as a por-tion of U.S. 42 was ded-icated in his name.

Folks and honoredguests including NickClooney, Colleen SharpMurray and Dick Murga-troyd were welcomedto the tune of Prices hitsSheriff of Boone Coun-ty and Walking on NewGrass.

Prices son, Kenny,said the family is hon-ored to have a section ofU.S. 42 from I-75 toGunpowder Road isnow named the KennyPrice Memorial High-way.

When each of uswere born, we were cre-ated by God to bringhonor to our family, ourcity and our state, Pricesaid. For the 56 years ofmy dads life peoplearound him knew heloved his family and hiscity of Florence. He wasproud to say Im fromKentucky. With the dedi-cation of this stretch ofroad, Kentucky is say-ing: Well always re-member you.

State Sen. JohnSchickel sponsored thelegislation after a Pricefamily friend, HarrySparrow, suggested theidea.

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.
