Formost sports injuries, it’s easy totell what’s wrong with the athlete: Justlook and see where the cast or the ban-dage is applied.

With head injuries, the problemshaven’t always been obvious, but theeffects can be much worse than asprained knee or a busted hand. Treat-ing head injuries, concussions in par-ticular, has been a higher priority at alllevels of athletics in recent years, asawareness of long-term effects has in-creased. A concussion is defined as atraumatic brain injury caused by ablow to the head.

“You can’t be too careful,” said JoshStratton, head coach ofNewRichmond(Ohio) and former Lloyd Memorialfootball coach. “If a player is dehydrat-ed and gets a headache from that andtells a coach or a trainer, we have tohave them checked. We’ve lost some

playerdays to thatkindofscenario,butkeeping kids safe is a lot more impor-tant than sending them out there ifthey’re injured or potentially injured.”

Proper identification and treatmentof concussions can help prevent life-long difficulties, according to Dr. Mat-thew DesJardins, non-surgical sportsmedicine specialist at CommonwealthOrthopaedic Centers in Edgewood.

He said middle and high school ath-letes with concussions should be with-drawn from sports completely, andmaybe evenwithdrawn fromschool, toallow recovering brains sufficienttime to rest.

“We want to reduce the risk of re-peat injury while they’re still recover-ing, andwe alsowant to give rest to thebrain,” saidDesJardins. “Wewithdrawthe athletes from sport, but also inschool situations, we’re even some-times withdrawing them from school.They can be very light-sensitive to flu-orescent lights, computerscreens; a lot

of audio and visual input can exacer-bate their headaches. They’ll routinelyhave a difficult time concentrating,and so the rest from cognitive brainfunction from the types of thingsgoingon in school everydaycanbe really im-portant in concussions that are moreserious.”

Another important factor in recov-ery is getting a good neurological eval-uation. DesJardins said subtle symp-toms, such as headaches or balance is-sues, can go unnoticed in general ex-aminations.

He said athletes returning to playwhile any concussion symptoms re-mainputs themat risk of “catastrophicbrain swellinganddeathafter a secondimpact.”

The less severe, but still potentiallydevastating, risks of secondary impactinclude chronic headaches, chronicsleep disturbance, depression, poor

TAYLOR MILL — Along with theirpencils, notebooks, binders andback-packs, students at Scott High Schoolhave a new tool to help start theschool year.

Teacher Casey Fisk used the freeSchoolConnect app toupload “tons ofinformation” about the school, so stu-dents, parents and teachers can ac-cess it all easily from their phones orcomputers.

The app takes seconds to down-loadonasmartphone, then it requiresa simple registration tochooseastateand school. With it you get access toschool listings, teacher pages, weath-er forecasts, clubs and organizationinformation, staff directory, athleticschedules and scores, and additionalinformation, which can all be viewedon a phone or on an Internet-capablecomputer. More information can befound online atwww.schoolconnectservices.com.

“It’s one-way communication withmassive amounts of people,” saidFisk, who said he just had to uploadthe school’s information. “I love tech-nology and this is the most usefulthing I’ve found. It’s like Wal-Martfor your cell phone, but it’s betterthanWal-Mart because it’s free.”

Because it’s a “strictly one-wayconversation,” allowing the user tocontact teachers or administrators,

function in school, atten-tion disorders, and otherpermanent issues requir-ing ongoing medicalcare.

A concussion-relatedbill, KRS 160.445, waspassed and enacted bythe Kentucky State Leg-islature in 2012. TheKen-tucky High School Ath-letic Association, whichgoverns all high schoolsports in the state, previ-ously had a concussionpolicy in place but only atthe high school level.

What they were ableto do with the approvedbill, however, was “hardcode it in the statute,”said KHSAA Commis-sioner Julian Tackett.

Tackett said the legis-lation also includes a pro-vision that anytime dur-ing a game if the signsand symptoms of a con-cussion are presentcoachesorofficials are tosend the child out of thegame formedical evalua-tion. If a medical profes-sional is not present,Tackett said it will be as-sumed a player exhibit-ing signs and symptomsof a concussion has a con-

cussion.The KHSAA, in con-

junction with the Ken-tucky Medical Associa-tion, has promoted a website www.KyConcussions.com, to help withthe issue. It has an onlinetraining program abouthead injuries that all thecoaches in Kentuckyhave to take.

“So we’re trying toreally increase aware-ness among coachingstaff (and) by school ad-ministrators that a con-cussion is serious busi-ness,” DesJardins said.

Suchprecautionsareafar cry from the playingdaysofUniversityofCin-cinnati orthopedist Dr.Angelo Colosimo – a for-merBengals teamdoctorwho was a high schooland college player in hisown right. Colosimo hashad two sons play foot-ball for Beechwood HighSchool.

“When I played, yougot drilled, you didn’teven know where youwere and you went backto the huddle and carriedthe ball again,” Colosimosaid. “It’s amazing wherethe science has gonewhen you look at thelong-term damage oftraumatic brain injuries.It affects you long term.

The idea is to limit that.“You can’t play (foot-

ball) without contact. Ifyou play this game,you’re going to get yourhead dinged. It’s going tohappen. What we’re try-ing to do is to limit thedamage that’s done.”

Part of the reason con-cussions have increasedtheir role in the collec-tive consciousness of thesports community is be-cause of recent lawsuitsfiled against the NationalFootball League by for-mer players who havesuffered from ailmentssuch as dementia. In re-cent years, most profes-sional leagues have alsodeveloped their ownrules to further protectplayers, strengtheningrestrictions on when ath-letes can return to com-petition.

“I think naturallycompetitive athletics, itdoesn’tmatterwhat levelyou’re playing, involvesrisk,” said Tackett. “Thisis the issue du jour, thatmaybe years ago, wedidn’t do allwecould, andas a result, those in their40s are suffering. It’sconstant education..”

Fisk said information pro-vided by the app does notpose a safety risk.

“It’s safer than Twit-ter,” he said. “There’s noway thiswould break con-fidentiality or anythinglike that.”

He said parents canpay for student meals,checkthecodeofconduct,view grades and assign-ments and contact teach-

ers or administrators,right from the app. Teach-erswill also be able to addimages of worksheets ornotes for students.

“We’re just now get-ting into it,” said Fisk. Hesaid soon, teachers,coaches and school ad-ministrators will be ableto send out push notifica-tions for urgent informa-tion.

“That will be most use-ful. Everybody looks atthose push notificationswhen they come up ontheir phone,” he said.

For instance, Fisk saidteachers could push as-signment reminders, orcoaches could notify play-ersandparents ifpracticeis rescheduled.

Currently, all of theKenton County schoolsare listed on the app, butonly Scott High School’ssite has information add-ed.

Otherwise, the onlyother Kentucky listing isfor the Logan CountySchool District, located inthe southwest Pennyroyalarea of the state.

Kenton County SchoolDistrict spokeswomanJess Dykes said the app isa new way to connect stu-dents with school infor-mation, but she doesn’tknow if information forother schools will be add-ed.

While concussionsmay get the most atten-tionwhen it comes to inju-ries, they account for just14 percent of all youthsports injuries (age19 andunder) according to astudy done byUSAToday.

The study analyzedyouth sports injuries in2011 and 2012 and deter-mined the three mostcommon sports injuriesare sprains/strains, frac-tures and contusions.

When being more spe-cific, Oxford PhysicalTherapy’sLizReis said in-juries to the ankle, anteri-or cruciate ligament(ACL) and the shoulder’sare the most common in-juries she sees as a phys-ical therapist among highschool athletes.

In today’s world of ex-pensive shoes, the argu-ment has come aboutwhether or not a shoe cancause an injury. The per-ception is you see moreACL tears today than youdid 10-20 years ago whenshoes weren’t as ad-vanced, but Reis believesthere are a variety of fac-tors that play into any in-

jury.“There is a push for a

more natural shoe,” shesaid. “From a physicaltherapist’s perspective, ifyour foot mechanics areoff, then it’s going toworkup the chain and causeproblems. … There is norhyme or reason as towhen these people are de-veloping these injuries,but in theory, most peopleneed a good, supportiveshoe.”

Reis has seen an in-crease in Iliotibial BandSyndrome, or more com-monlyknownas the ITSB,in high school athletes.Also known as “Runner’sKnee,” according to run-nersworld.com it occurswhen the IT band, a liga-ment that runs down theoutside of the thigh fromthe hip to the shin, is tightor inflamed.

The problem with theinjury is it can be hiddenwith the use of anti-in-flammatories and manyathletes get back to theirrespective sport beforethe injury is fully healed.

“The injury is not somuch worrisome, but itcan be difficult to rehab,”Reis said. “The (IT band)crosses the knee, so every

timewebendourknee theband actually slips underthe bone and it’s just a re-petitive injury. Peoplejust need to give it time toheal, rest and strengthenthe other muscles.”

One trend Reis hasseen lately is an increasein hamstring strains inyounger athletes.

“I think it goes alongwithpeoplegaininganun-derstanding of stretchingand warming up,” shesaid. “Some kids as theyare going through growthspurts, their bones areelongating and the mus-cles are being forced tostretch out at the sametime. So the kids are try-ing to stretch and usingthese muscles when theyare working out, so theystart to get some strain inthe muscle. I think that iswhere a lot of these ham-string strains are comingin as they go throughthese growth spurts.”

ACL tears, ITSB andhamstring problems arejust three of hundreds ofinjuries that occur eachhigh school sports season,but the prevention is allthe same: Rest, addingprevention and strength-ening exercises.

Lower-body injuries toplist among youth sportsBy Tom [email protected]

VILLAHILLS—Despitecontroversy in the past,the police force is grow-ing with the addition ofthree new part-time offi-cers.

In a phone conversa-tion, Villa Hills MayorMike Martin said threeofficers were given con-ditionaloffersofemploy-ment. Two have alreadystarted.

The initial plan was tohire one part-time offi-cer but then one officerresigned.

During the city’s Aug.14 caucus meeting, Po-lice Chief Daniel Goode-nough told city councilmembersoneofficerwasleaving to work for an-other area police depart-ment.

By picking up two“part-timers,” Martinsaid the city picked upthe same amount of cov-erage hours but savedmoney with retirementand benefits costs.

According to Martin,hiring three part-time of-ficers as opposed to onefull-time officer willsave the city about$15,000.

Thecitywill havenineofficers on staff – thethree part-time officersandsix full-timeofficers.Two officers are current-ly out on medical leave.

“Now we have 60hours of coverage at acost less of 40 hours,”said Martin during thephone conversation.

After updates fromGoodenough, talk at thecaucus meeting thenturned to the issue of out-sourcing police services.

“Are we in a positionnow where we are readyasabodytopubliclystatewe are not going to dis-cussoutsourcinganyfur-ther, and I mean out-sourcing in any way,shape or form?” Council-man Rod Baehner askedduring the caucus meet-ing. “Can we end it?”

“I’ve yet to say weshould outsource,” Mar-tin replied.

“I’ve only said I wantto look at the cost.”

As reported by theKentucky Enquirer earli-er this month, in the fivemonths sinceMartin pro-posed that this city ofabout 8,000 consider out-sourcing its police ser-vice, council remains di-vided on the issue.

Thecontroversy is thelatest Villa Hills hasfaced since Martin tookoffice in January 2011.

Since then, the previ-ous city council attempt-ed toremovethemayor,a

federal judge tossed outMartin’s 2008 lawsuitagainst the police chiefand assistant policechief, the assistant policechief then sued the may-or, and themayoreventu-ally suspended the assis-tant chief.

A new council waselectedin2012,butthear-guments continued.

“But at this time, I’mhappy with where we’removing,” he said. “I’mhappy with the thingsthat are going on. Bring-ing the part-timers on ...We’re picking up hours,we’re saving money.That’s thewayweneed tomove forward and that’swhat I’m really happywith.”

He reiterated he had“no intentions” ofputtingpolice services out forbid at this point or in thenear future. “At thispoint I don’t knowwhen Iwould.”

“Then why don’t wejust say we’re not goingto?” Baehner asked.

“Because it’s still apossibility,” Martin re-plied.

“I’m not going to sayI’m not going to do it. Icould ask for bids, butthat doesn’t mean any-thing.”

Councilwoman MaryKoenig said she likeswhere the city is going,but “I hate to say never.”

ERLANGER — The Er-langer-Elsmere SchoolBoard voted unanimouslyto approve a property taxincrease.

The board set the taxrate at 81.7 cents per $100accessed real and per-sonal property for the2013-14 school year.

Of that tax, 76.1 centswill be used for the gener-al fund and 5.6 cents will

be used for the buildingfund and Kentucky Facil-ities Support Program.

Lastyear’s taxratewasset at 77.4 cents per $100.

The board also set themotor vehicle tax rate at67.1 cents per $100 ac-

cessed valuation.Superintendent Kath-

lyn Burkhardt attributedthe board’s decision to in-crease taxes to the con-tinued decrease in statefunding in the last severalyears.

“State legislatures arenot funding our schools asthey should,” she said.“We’re trying to maxi-mize our resources.We’retrying to do all we can tobe as efficient as possi-ble.”

According to boardmember David Bird, theschools are “stuck be-tween a rock and a hardplace.”

“We’re forbidden bylaw to operate in a defi-cit,” he said.

FORT MITCHELL — Beech-wood Independent School Dis-trict students crowd the frontlawn of the schools on this mildand sunny August morning.

They’re taking part in anemergency drill and soon beginshuffling their way back toclass. Like other area schools,Beechwood recently returnedfrom summer vacation.

Students here, however, willnotice anumberof renovations.

The third phase of upgrades,actually phase “2A,”which be-gan in late 2011, are complete.

Superintendent Steve Hut-ton said this phase includes sixnew classrooms, a new bandroom and a new cafeteria.

The new cafeteria is partic-ularly notable, with sunshinestreaming in through the wallof floor-to-ceiling windowsoverlooking the school’s foot-ball field.

Renovations have been alongtime project for the schooldistrict.

According to the district’swebsite, the Beechwood Boardof Education decided on sever-al top-priority facilities pro-jects to enhance the academicand athletic experiences ofBeechwood students in 2007.

Board of Education chairMelanie Stricker said the dis-trict began working withFrankfort some five years agobecause of the conditions of thebuildings.

The facilities were consid-eredacategory5,whichHuttonsays is the “worst of theworst.”

Beechwood, Sticker said,was a high-performing school,doing so “in spite of buildingconditions.”

Former State Rep. Alecia

Webb-Edgington “really spear-headed the fight to get us a newelementary school and helppeople in Frankfort to under-stand how bad (the conditionsof the buildings) were,” shesaid.

The first phase of work,completed just a few years ago,built new elementary offices,an art classroom, an elemen-tary science lab, and 12 class-rooms, while the second phaseaddedsixclassrooms, a readinglab, a gifted and talented class-room, anda fieldhouse that fea-tures four locker rooms, a fit-ness room and a weight roomfor all school teams.

“The reasonwe do phases (isthat) we’re landlocked,” main-tenance director Tony Duncansaid. “We have to demo build-

ings to build new buildings.”From a teacher’s standpoint,

he said, the modern technologyof the new construction is “topof the line.”

According toHutton, the last“big construction” was the sci-ence wing completed in 2000.

One thing to note, Duncansaid, is the additions look simi-lar to the existing structures.

“That was important to usbecause we have a long historyof tradition and there is a lot ofpassion in our community and(with) alumni around the his-torical value of our old build-ings,” Stricker said.

“I think theydid an excellentjob making the old and newblend,” she continued about ar-chitects Ehmet Hayes and As-sociates.

The district has had a fewopen houses to exhibit the newadditions. Stricker said it was“pretty cool” to see howexcitedvisitors were.

FORT WRIGHT — KentonCounty Superintendent TerriCox-Crueyearnedacertificatefor achievement inFrankfort awhole week before kids wentback to school in the district.

Cox-Cruey was among theleaders of 120 local boards ofeducationwhowerehonored inFrankfort on Aug. 8 by Gov.SteveBeshear, First LadyJaneBeshear and Education Com-missioner Terry Holiday.

State leaders recognizedthedistricts for racing toadoptSenate Bill 97, known as thenew Graduate Kentucky stan-dard, keeping students inschool until they earn a highschool diploma or turn 18.

The Kenton County SchoolBoard adopted the bill raisingthe compulsory attendanceage from16 to 18, on July 1.

“Ourregionrequiresahigh-ly skilled workforce and thischange will promote collegeand career readiness for allstudents,” said Cox-Cruey.

According to a governor’soffice press release, the bill’simplementation was to be vol-untary until 55 percent, or 96,of the state’s school districtsadopted the policy, whichamended the school atten-dance law in 1934.

The change is scheduled totake effect in fall 2017.

“We stand here today tothank andhonor themanyded-

icated school boards through-out the Commonwealth whoshowed their supportbyadopt-ing this graduation policy soquickly,” said Beshear. “InKentucky, we fight every dayto find better ways to educateour children, and this gradua-tionbill implementationmarksan historic moment in our ef-forts. I am so proud of the highvalue our state has put on edu-cation by putting faith in ourstudents.”

Beshear’s office cites re-search that shows “high schoolgraduates live longer, are lesslikely to be teen parents, andaremore likely toraisehealthi-er, better-educated children.High school graduates are alsoless likely to commit crimes,relyongovernmenthealthcareor use other public services.”

See PREPS, Page A8

Only a select few DivisionIII football programs havereached a point where a 7-3recordandroutof theirbiggestrival is considered a disap-pointing season.

Thomas More College fin-ished 6-2 in the Presidents’Athletic Conference, but thosetwo early season losses pre-vented the Saints from earninga fifth straight playoff berth. Asix-game winning streak toclose out the season was en-couraging, but 2012 was still adisappointment for a programthat has established itself as aperennial top 25 team.

“When I think about it, it isgood that we have such highexpectations,” said head coachJim Hilvert. “When you set astandard like that, when youexpect at least nine wins and aPAC championship, less thanthat is not good enough.”

The silver lining to last yearwas that the seniors were thefirst class in years to end theseasonwith awin. Consistentlyqualifying for the playoffsmeans that, unless the Saintswin the 32-team tournamentand Stagg Bowl championship,they end the seasonwith a loss.Last year, the Saints got to fin-ish the season by setting allkinds of records in a 75-6Bridge Bowl victory over rivalCollege of Mount St. Joseph.

“Everybody was hungry tofinish off the season on a highnote,” said sophomore freesafety Kyle Fuller (HolyCross).

Fuller is one of severalyoung starters on both sides ofthe ball this year. He haslearned from the upperclass-menwhowere once in his posi-tion and expects to step into aleadership role in just his sec-

ond season at Thomas More.“The coaches do a good job

of preparing you for a leader-ship role,” said Fuller, who ledHoly Cross to a state champi-onship two years ago. “Lastyear’s seniors left a legacy thatmade the program what it isand they really pushed us un-derclassmen to make us bet-ter.”

The veteran leaders of thedefensewill help the newstart-ers adjust. Defensive backsJakeFishburn (Elder) andAlexTaylor (Elder) and lineman Ty-ler Combs (Highlands) providesenior leadership on the other-wise young defense.

“We are young on defense,but very fast,” said Hilvert.“This is oneof themost athleticdefenses I’ve had.”

The offense is led by the re-turnof junior runningbackDo-minique Hayden from injuryandanotheryear of experiencefor sophomore quarterbackJensenGebhardt, whowent 6-1after taking over as the starterlast year.

Thomas More has alwaysbenefited from a pipeline of lo-cal talent frombothsidesof theriver, but the recent rise ofNorthern Kentucky programslike Cooper and CampbellCounty has provided the Saintswith even more talented play-erswhoareaccustomed towin-ning.

“With the talent we havearound here, it’s a huge addi-tion,” said Hilvert.

The Saints open the seasononSept. 7 atCapitalUniversity.The home opener is Sept. 28against Waynesburg Univer-sity. The team is eager to getback to the playoffs and hopesto avoid last year’s slow start.

“We have some really goodleaders,” said Hilvert. “We’reexcited to get back on the fieldand compete.”

TheCollege ofMount St. Jo-seph is eager to start the 2013football season. When the Li-ons begin play on Sept. 7, thedisappointing 2012 season willbe completely behind them.

Last season, the programfinishedwith a losing record inconference play for the firsttime since 2008 and just thesecond time since 2001. Fiveteams finished ahead ofMountSt. Joe in the Heartland Colle-giate Athletic Conferencestandings. The Lions’ 4-6 over-all record marked the pro-gram’s first losing seasonsince the winless 2001 cam-paign. The season endedwith a75-6 drubbing at the hands ofrival Thomas More College inthe Bridge Bowl.

“Coach Huber and the sen-iorsdon’t like talkingabout lastyear,” said senior punter GregTabar (Colerain). “We are ex-cited to move forward. We’replaying with a chip on ourshoulder this year.”

This year’s squad is poisedto bring Mount St. Joe back toits winning ways. It will be achallenge, as the Lions need toreplace All-American runningback James Clay and a host ofother starters.

“A lot of spots are wideopen,” said head coach RodHuber as his team preparedfor trainingcamp. “We’vegot alot of holes to fill.”

Sophomore Cody Meadewill try toreplaceClay,who ledthenation in rushingwith 212.4yards per game in 2012. JuniorJason Stinebaugh is the mostexperienced quarterback onthe roster and will compete

with freshmen and transfersfor the starting nod. He com-pleted 21of 64 passeswith fourinterceptions and zero touch-downs as a backup in 2012.

Whoever wins the startingquarterback job will havesomebig targets in the passinggame. 6’8” junior John Petersand 6’5” senior Tyler Feine(Amelia) should win mostjump balls thrown their way.

“We should be able to getthose guys the ball in the redzone,” said Huber.

The offensive line is led bysenior Brandon Chapman andjunior Brandon Keller. Seniorsafety Tyler Elrod leads thesecondary, where he will bejoined by new starters at bothcornerback spots. Defensiveend/linebacker Adam Bigelow(Anderson) missed all of lastseason with a knee injury, butreturns as a fifth-year senior.

Nosetackle Russell Turner an-chors the defensive line. Thelinebackers are themost expe-rienced and deepest group ondefense, with Konnor BlevinsandGarrettBreinerreturning.

Several freshmen will beexpected to contribute rightaway. They will bring athleti-cismandapositiveattitudetoateamthat iseager tostart freshin 2013.

“This is the most skillfulfreshman class we’ve had inmy years here,” said Tabar.“As seniors, we are mentoringthem in the little things, likehow to get better in the filmroom.”

Tabar’s leadership on andoff the field earnedhimnation-al recognition in 2012, when hewas named to the Allstate AF-CA Good Works Team and theCapital One Academic All-Dis-trict Team. This will be thefourth straight season he hasstarted at punter for the Lions.

“He’s the best player on ourfootball team,” said Huber.

The Lions open the seasonon September 7 at AugustanaCollege. Following a byeweek,the Lions host conference foeHanover College on Septem-ber 21.

The commonwealth of Kentucky isknown for unparalleled success on thebasketball court, boasting two nation-al NCAA basketball championships inas many years. Educators and admin-istrators have been working hard toelevate academic success in the com-monwealth to the same level, makingstrides to ensure that our students areeffectively prepared for college andcareer readiness.

While most of the nation has em-barked upon education reform, Ken-tucky is at the forefront. This wasevidenced Jan. 10 as Gov. Steve Be-shear announced from the Capitol thatthe 2012 Education Week QualityCounts Report indicated that Ken-tucky had climbed to 10th in the na-tion in its annual survey of states andtheir education of America’s students.This was further evidenced as ourdistrict/state implemented the newCommon Core Standards two yearsago, while many states are still pre-paring for the implementation ofthese national standards. A part ofcontinued reform, Kentucky is in theprocess of implementing a new evalu-ation system referred to as the Pro-fessional Growth and EffectivenessSystem (PGES).

Kentucky, along with 36 otherstates, requested a waiver exemptingthem from the No Child Left Behindlegislation. In exchange, states will berequired to include student growth asa part of their educators’ evaluations.The Professional Growth and Effec-tiveness System is based on the work

of Charlotte Dan-ielson and the resultsof the Measures ofEffective TeachingStudy, conducted bythe Gates Foundation.Danielson’s Frame-work of Teachingfocuses on four areas:planning and prep-aration, classroomenvironment, instruc-tion, and professional

responsibilities. Teacher evaluationsin Kentucky will also include a fiftharea, student growth.

The exact percentage, each ofthese areas will receive in an evalua-tion, is yet to be determined as Ken-tucky continues to pilot the new PGESwith limited numbers of teachersduring the 2013/14 school year. Thiswill be determined prior to statewideimplementation the following year.Todd Baldwin, with the KentuckyDepartment of Education, states theyare “going slow” to ensure they “get itright.” A shift in teacher evaluationswill include numerous snapshot obser-vations in the classroom and specificsuggestions for professional growth.

It may be reasonable to expect acertain level of apprehension sur-rounding an entirely new evaluationsystem. However, teachers should berelieved to discover that the areas inwhich they will be evaluated are areasin which they are already highly en-gaged in and commit considerabletime and thought to in Boone County.

Parents should be relieved to knowthat our district is well ahead in keyareas of the implementation of thePGES including but not limited toadministrator walk-throughs, peerreviews, teacher self-evaluation, andfrequent monitoring of student pro-gress.

The Hope Street Group, a non-profit organization, whose goal is toprovide a better America, is involvingits 21 Kentucky teacher fellows toelicit the opinions, concerns and ideasof Kentucky teachers regarding thisnew system. Hope Street, recognizingthat great potential exists here, isworking to facilitate dialoguethroughout the commonwealth, bring-ing the Kentucky Department of Edu-cation, the Kentucky Education Asso-ciation, legislators, and educatorstogether to further strengthen Ken-tucky students’ learning. The HopeStreet Group recognizes the impor-tance of collaboration and communi-cation between the groups.

The new PGES provides an oppor-tunity to empower teachers to furtherimprove their students’ learning, asthey continue to enhance their craft.Working cooperatively, Kentucky’sstudents and teachers will continue toelevate their “educational game,”ensuring that students are college andcareer ready.

What would happen if a CEO said toa newmanager, “I expect our sales repsto hit their 2013 sales targets as follows:Asians 64 percent, Whites 58.4 percent,Hispanics 49.4 percent and African-Americans 49.1 percent.”

That CEO would be fired, and right-fully so, faster than Al Sharpton gas-sing up his limo and looking for a cam-era. No one would establish race-basedstandards. Would they?

I recently read an article titled, Ala-bama Adopts Race-based Standards for

School Students. Itreally bothered me thatAlabama’s publicschools would set edu-cational standards byrace. That sounded soCivil War-ish.

I emailed the KentonCounty school boardand asked if KentonCounty was using race-based standards. Ireceived an emailedthat stated, “We do not

use race-based standards. You can con-tact the Commissioner of Education,Terry Holliday at KDE by calling 502-564-3141.”

I contact Mr. Holliday’s office andsomeone helped me find the data I waslooking for. Kentucky’s public schoolsdo use race-based standards. Why was Itold otherwise?

My journey led me to an initiativecalled School Report Cards. Starting onpage 82, I discovered the followingsection: Closing the Achievement Gap –Percentage Proficient/Distinguished –Gap Targets. Each school district inKentucky is broken into a series ofreports based on elementary, middleand high school and by subject matter.

What’s bizarre is that each race orgroup has a different proficient/dis-tinguished target percentage. In Ken-ton County’s elementary section forreading and math it read, “Asians (64.0percent), Whites (58.4 percent), Hispan-ics (49.4 percent), African-Americans(49.1 percent), Free/Reduced PriceMeals (46.4 percent) Limited English(32.2 percent) andWith Disabilities(31.0 percent).

This chart is exactly what I hadasked about in my initial email to theKenton County school board. Why didthey say it didn’t exist?

Is this chart not racism?Merriam-Webster defines racism as, “A beliefthat race is the primary determinant ofhuman traits and capacities and thatracial differences produce an inherentsuperiority of a particular race.”

Why do educators believe race is avalid benchmark to determine thelearning capacity of a student? Do youbelieve a black student should only beexpected to achieve 77 percent of anAsian student? Which students willreceive more attention, the race thatmust achieve a higher standard or therace with lower expectations? Why dothey believe lowering standards byrace will benefit those students in thelong run? The truth is lower standardsmake it easier for teachers and schoolsto achieve targets and secure money.

The message fromKentucky’s De-partment of Education is clear. Whites,Hispanics and African-Americans aredumber than Asian students. Hispanicsand African-Americans are dumberthanWhite students and African-Amer-icans are dumber than Hispanic stu-dents. I believe the Kentucky Depart-ment of Education is the dumbest of allthese groups.

Racism is wrong even if self-pro-claimed academic elites are doing it!It’s time for Kentuckians to “Stand OurGround” and eliminate race-based stan-dards fromKentucky’s education sys-tem.

“I am happy to join with you today inwhat will go down as the greatest dem-onstration for freedom in the history ofour nation.”

That’s howMartin Luther Kingopened his “I Have a Dream” speech onAug. 28, 1963. National civil rights lead-ers had called for 100,000 tomarch onWashington for freedom and jobs soonafter President Kennedy sent his civilrights bill to Capitol Hill. Cincinnatiactivists helped King’s prediction cometrue.

Abysmal race relations defined theSouth andmuch of the North. Cincin-nati, just north of state-mandated seg-regation, hadmade some notable gains.African-American leaders had pres-sured downtown restaurants and ConeyIsland to integrate, and were now fo-cused on ending discriminatory hous-ing.

Local leaders like Clyde “Jimmy”Vinegar of CORE,WilliamBowen of theNAACP, and future Cincinnati MayorTed Berry led a contingent of about 500to the nation’s capital. “Themarch willgive witness that the Negro is united inAmerica,” Berry told theEnquirer in1963. The Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth hadmoved here, but continued the intensefight in his native Birmingham.

Amix of African-American citizens,white clergy and others boarded a spe-cially arranged train at Union Terminal.They packed two box lunches and pre-pared for possible violence. They sangfreedom songs along the way, andpicked up additional demonstratorsnear Portsmouth and Ashland, Ken-

tucky.“The train ride gave

us such a warm,friendly feeling,” re-calls Patricia Hogue(widow of Universityof Cincinnati Bearcatbasketball player PaulHogue) and a senior atCentral State Univer-sity at the time. Dona-tions to the localNAACP enabled her toattend. “It was the

most wonderful experience.”It is a dream deeply rooted in the

American dream.Would this crew face danger?Would

themarch have any real impact? Couldthe civil rights bill become law? TheCincinnati Post and Times Star editori-alized, “We favor the public accommo-dations section of the civil rights billbut think reformwill come almost asfast without a law as with it.” Both ofOhio’s senators, Frank Lausche andStephen Young, declined an invitationto attend. The uncertainty is whatmadeit a dream.

“Wewere the first train to arrive atUnion Station,” recalls Hogue, “and wewere some of the first to make it to theWashingtonMonument.” They got aclose view of Peter, Paul, andMary,Harry Belafonte, and Joan Baez. Laterin the day, at the other end of the re-flecting pool, spoke A. Phillip Randolph,Shuttlesworth, and of course the head-liner, Dr. King. Press reports and recol-lections by local participants paint the

day as “glorious,” “wonderful,” “peace-ful,” and “promising.”

Themarch ended as an apparentsuccess. In total, 200,000 attended.MostCincinnati marchers returned homethat evening. An intense debate on thebill, the assassination of its chief spon-sor, and increased press coverage fol-lowed. A year later, Kennedy’s succes-sor signed the bill with King and otherleaders standing behind him to helpfulfill the dream.

“Free at last! Free at last! ThankGod almighty, we are free at last.”

WILDER — Call Bobby Mackey’s hon-ky tonk or a favorite haunt, themusic inside remains traditionalcountry the way the club’s name-

sake owner and singer likes.“I’m proud to call it a honky tonk,” Mackey

said.Other country music performers play at

Bobby Mackey’s, but at 10 p.m. each Friday andSaturday Mackey and his Big Mac Band play onstage. A 35th anniversary celebration will beFriday and Saturday, Sept. 6-7, featuring Mack-ey and his band.

Mackey said he played at multiple clubs inthe Cincinnati area prior to opening his club in1978 inside the former Latin Quarter – whichwas a gambling casino up until the early 1960s.

The Highland Heights resident said hebought the club in Wilder so he could play tradi-tional country all the time.

“I just wanted to be in control,” he saidPeople who come to hear the music know

what to expect – covers of George Jones, HankWilliams Sr., and Buck Owens among othercountry icons, Mackey said. That’s in additionto his original songs. His 1982 single “PepsiMan” made the Billboard country chart list atNo. 57. Mackey said his song “Hero Daddy”became a hit locally on Cincinnati radio sta-tions.

He released a new album Aug. 20, “CountryMusic Lives On” featuring the song “That JonesBoy Is Gone” – a tribute to George Jones. Mack-ey said he originally wrote the song as “WhenThat Jones Boy Is Gone” a couple of years be-fore the singer’s death in April 2013. The song isan ode to Jones with the repeating lyric “who’sgoing to fill his shoes.”

He said this is the first album he wrote thelyrics for every song.

Bass player Ernie Vaughn of Forest Park hasplayed with Mackey since 1968.

Vaughn said it is a pleasure to play with, andsometimes just listen to, each other play andsing. Vaughn and other band members typicallyonly miss playing with Mackey three or fourtimes a year.

“It’s not a job, it’s just something that we alllike to do or we wouldn’t do it,” Vaughn said.

“I’m a traditional country singer, and that’s

all I’ve ever wanted to do,” he said. “And I knowit works.”

Mackey said he still has his mother’s Zenithradio where he heard country legends’ songswhile his mother worked inside his father’sgrocery store in Lewis County, Ky.

“As soon as we would get there in the morn-ing I would jump on a box and turn on that ra-dio,” Mackey said. “I’d listen all morning toHank Williams, Ernest Tubb and Red Foley.

“When I heard Hank Williams sing at 4-years-old my life was set to country music for-ever on,” he said.

Mackey said his strategy of delivering tradi-tional country music has worked so far, and hisaudiences range in ages including a youngercrowd that comes for the midnight set and themechanical bull “Turbo.” The bull has been partof Mackey’s for 34 years.

His midnight set has a lot of rockabilly, butit’s still all country, he said.

“That’s the young element, and the bulldoesn’t sit still too much and it’s rockin’ allnight long,” Mackey said.

The club also has become known as a placeto hunt for ghosts, something Mackey said hewas initially against. He said he feared ghoststories would scare people away, and managedto keep attention away from that for 10 years.Now some people seek out the club to see ifthey can spot ghosts, and that’s all right too, hesaid. Bobby Mackey’s has been featured onmultiple television shows including The TravelChannel’s “Ghost Adventures.”

The club continues to be an established coun-try music destination despite the ghost atten-tion, he said.

“It’s a throwback,” Mackey said of the club.“And if anybody used to come in there yearsago and comes back in today, it would be likethey basically stepped back in time. It has ba-sically stayed the same.”

And playing almost every weekend nevergets old to him, and he has no plans of stopping.“We went through the urban cowboy craze andevery other craze there was,” he said. “But theway it was is still the way it is, and the beatgoes on.”

As other country singers opened up theirown theaters in Branson, Mo., he said.

“I call my night club my Branson,” he said.“I don’t have to go running across the country. Iplay here in Wilder and people come to me.”

Bobby Mackey plays and sings country music insidehis club in Wilder, which will celebrate 35 years Sept.6-7.THANKS TO BOBBY MACKEY

Cleaning out the freez-er is never an easy task. Idon’t know how I accu-mulate so much food in

there! Iran acrossa containerof sour piecherriesthe otherday fromlast yearand knew Ihad to dosomethingwith them,and fast.

So I made this cherrycobbler. This is reallydelicious eaten warmwith a dollop of whippedcream or ice cream andperfect for that LaborDay gathering.

Cherry or berrycobbler

I have made this withblueberries, blackberriesand raspberries. Justabout any fruit is good.After baking the batterrises up, surrounding theberries.

6 tablespoons butter1 scant cup flour2 teaspoons baking powder3⁄4 cup sugar2⁄3 cupmilk2 generous cups cherries orberries (I used sour piecherries)

Preheat oven to 375degrees. In an 8-inchsquare or 2-quart bakingdish, melt butter in oven.Carefully remove and setaside. Whisk flour, bak-ing powder and sugartogether. Add milk andstir until just combined.Pour batter into meltedbutter but don’t stir. Addcherries. Bake 30-40minutes or until cakeportion is golden andberries exude juices.

Readers want toknow

7-Up Cake: For clar-ification on DianeByrne’s recipe that Ipublished, the pudding isone 1 oz. box. It is a pack-age contain four serv-ings. Check out my blogfor more recipes.

Cherry bounce: Howmuch bourbon? Enoughto cover the cherries byan inch or so. Some read-ers use vodka, rum orgrain alcohol. The con-tainer should be glass,since it’s not air-perme-able, with a tight lid.Canning jars work well.A reader wants to use asugar substitute. I sug-

gested Splenda, but havenot tried it.

Tips from readers’kitchen

Greyhound Restau-rant’s pasta Gabrielle:Thanks to the readerswho reminded me aboutthis previously publishedrecipe that MaryAnn B.wanted. It’s on my blog.

Can you help?Poor man’s lobster: I

didn’t catch the reader’sname, but she is cravingthis dish. “It’s made withcodfish that you cook inwater seasoned withperhaps butter, salt andother ingredients. Afterit’s cooked, you servewith drawn butter. Iwould love to have arecipe similar to the oneI lost.”

Twin Trolley’s BBQ:For Carol E., who lovedthe sandwich of this now-closed and, I might add,much-loved restaurant.If you have a similarrecipe, please share.

Manyet’s Bakerycheesecake: Anotherrequest from this pop-ular bakery, which was inNewport and now closed.For Pat B. “They had acheesecake like no otherI have ever had that wasreally great. If in anyway you can find thatrecipe, I would surelyappreciate it!”

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Freezing herbs in oilfor sauteing: Actually Igot this from Amy Tobinwhen I was a guest onher radio show. For nicesauté oil that you canfreeze, pour olive oil intoice cube trays and add athin layer of your favor-ite herb(s).

my name and then thebank allowed them tocash the check withoutme being present,” Weis-mann said.

After doing a lot ofinvestigating on her own,Weismann determinedthe person who cashedthe check had an accountat that bank – and thatperson’s bank accountnumber was written onthe back of the check.

Weismann contactedthe bank, which notifiedthe check casher. “Thebank manager had calledthem and said, ‘You’resupposed to bring themoney back.’ She said,

‘Well, Heather Weismannsigned the check over tome and I have witness-es,’” Weismann said.

But Weismann hadalready filed a policereport alleging the per-son who cashed thecheck is a thief. Despiteall this, Weismann stilldidn’t have her moneyback, which caused ma-jor problems.

“I haven’t been able topay certain of my bills soI have late fees coming –and my personal accountbasically is horrible. Ican’t use it right nowbecause of this,” shesaid.

Based on the informa-tion she’s uncovered,Weismann said she be-lieves police should ableto find the thief and takeaction.

“They forged a checkand stole a check. Theycashed a check. Altogeth-er that’s three thingsagainst this person. Theyneed to pay for what’shappened,” Weismannsaid.

I contacted the bankand, following an in-vestigation, the bankreturned the more than$500 to Weismann plusmoney to reimburse herfor the overdraft charges

she incurred. A spokes-man for the bank agreesthis appears to be theft.The bank has turned overits findings to the Cincin-nati Police Department.

So protect yourselfwhenever you get acheck by immediatelywriting on the back, “ForDeposit Only.” There’s noneed to sign it, just put itin your bank as soon aspossible.

Children’s home hosting private fireworks partyWhat has been a public

fundraiser in recent yearsfor Children’s Home ofNorthernKentuckywillbea private event in 2013.

The home’s annual fire-works party, which takesplaceeachyearontheSun-dayofLaborDayweekendandinconjunctionwiththeWEBN fireworks, will notbeopen to thegeneral pub-lic this year. Rather, theyoung men who live at thehome will get to watch thefireworks themselvesfrom the best seats in theTristate – the home’s ownfront lawn.

“Our Covington cam-pus offers an amazingview of theOhioRiver anddowntown Cincinnati and

Covington,” said RickWurth, the home’s chiefexecutive officer. “So his-torically, the home hastriedtousetheWEBNfire-works display as a fund-raiser for the children weserve. But inclementweather thepast twoyearsdrastically impacted anypotential net proceeds.This year, we’re scalingback and making it a pri-vate party for our boys inresidence and the CHNKteam.”

Boys living at the homehave been removed fromtheir own homes by Ken-tucky, due to abuse, ne-glectorat-riskbehavior. Inorder to protect their iden-tities and location, as well

as ensure their safety, theboys typically spend theSunday evening of LaborDay weekend at the agen-cy’ssecondcampusinBur-lington or going to themovies. This year, thehome’s residents will wel-come their own familymembers who are closeenough to visit. For resi-dentswithoutfamilymem-bers nearby, the home’sboard of trustees and ju-nior board members, aswell as many employees,will be on hand to makesure every boy has a funtime in good company.

Recreation TherapistSara Warner is designingthe party with her col-league Amy Lindley, the

home’s residential activ-ities coordinator.

“We’ll be offering a va-riety of activities for theboys, includingthings theycandowith their families,”said Warner. “Activitieslike carnival games, corn-hole tournaments, andcraft stations where theboyscanmakecustomizeditemsliketie-dyeT-shirts.”

The boys will also betreated to a grill out andfun festival foods like pop-corn and cotton candy.

For former fireworksparty patrons who want tostill support thehomeoverLabor Day weekend,Wurth asks that they con-sider sponsoring a resi-dentwithadonationof$25.

This amount will coverfood, beverage, craft sup-plies, and game prizes forthe resident.

“We have an averagedaily census of around 42boys in our residentialtreatment program,”Wurth said. “If we were tofind sponsors for all 42 ofthem – sponsors willing tomake a minimum $25 do-nation to the home – wewould be able to cover allthe expenses of this spe-cial event for our boys.”

Community supporterswanting to sponsor one ormore boys can make acreditcarddonationonlineat www.chnk.org or bycallingthehome’sdevelop-ment office at 859-292-

4135. Or, checks can bemailed to: Children’sHome of Northern Ken-tucky, Attn: Office for De-velopment, 200 HomeRoad, Covington, KY,41011.

“We know there will besome regular fireworksparty patrons who are dis-appointed to learn thisyear’s event is just for ourboys,” Wurth said, “butwe’re certain they will un-derstand that we not onlymade the most fiscally re-sponsible decision for ourbudget, we also are givingourboystheopportunitytoparticipate in one of themost beloved traditions ofthe Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area.”

Question: I have somephlox flowers that bloomevery year, but the leavesget covered with somekind of white, powderysubstance. The plantsseem to be getting weakerand smaller each year,with fewer flowers. Is thisa disease? How can I stopit?

Answer: The whitepowder is caused by pow-derymildew fungus. Youapparently have one ofthemore susceptiblevarieties of phlox. Fungi-cides need to be appliedearly in the season toprevent this disease.Phlox is a favorite peren-nial for Kentucky gar-dens, but is often dis-appointing to grow be-cause of devastationcaused by powderymil-dew disease, which cov-ers the leaves with white

fungalgrowth latein the sea-son andweakensaffectedplants.

Hereare sometips on howto controlor preventthe disease

next year:» Avoid crowding

plants. Grow susceptibleplants in a sunny location;prune out nearby shadingvegetation.

» Avoid wetting fo-liage, especially in theevening.

» Sprays of gardenfungicides containing“Active Ingredients”(listed in small print onthe label) such as dode-morph, fenarimol, thio-

phanate-methyl, triadime-fon, wettable sulfur, zi-ram, or mancozeb + thio-phanate-methyl areeffective for powderymildew control, if appliedearly in the season. Readthe pesticide label forlists of specific plantsallowed or not allowed foreach fungicide, in order tomake sure it is safe foruse on phlox.

Under our warm, hu-mid growing conditions inKentucky, powderymil-dew can be quite severeon susceptible Phlox.Kentucky gardeners willwant to plant powderymildew-resistant culti-vars.

Phlox disease evalua-tions were recently com-pleted. The followingcultivars were evaluatedfor powderymildew re-sistance. Even highly

resistant cultivars (listedbelow) are still not im-mune to powderymildew,so expect to see a littledisease should those bechosen for the garden.Susceptible cultivarswould need to be sprayed

regularly with fungicidesto keep them lookinggood.

Highly resistant phloxvarieties include: ‘BlueBoy,’ ‘Darwin’s Joyce,’‘David,’ ‘Delta Snow,’‘Eden’s Crush,’ ‘Natascha,’Phlox caroliniana, ‘RedMagic,’ ‘Robert Poore,’and ‘Speed Limit 45.’

Moderately resistant-moderately susceptible:‘Bright Eyes,’ ‘Eva Cul-lum,’ ‘Fairest One,’ ‘Fla-mingo,’ ‘Laura,’ ‘Magnif-icence,’ ‘Miss Ellie,’ ‘MissJo-Ellen,’ ‘Miss Kather-ine,’ ‘Miss Kelly,’ ‘Nicky,’‘Nora Leigh,’ ‘OrangePerfection,’ ‘Pink Gown,’‘PrimeMinister,’ ‘Red

Super,’ ‘Rosalinde,’ ‘SnowWhite,’ and ‘Starlight,’

Try to avoid suscep-tible cultivars such as‘Andre,’ ‘Franz Schubert,’‘Little Boy,’ ‘LittlePrincess,’ ‘Miss Jill,’ ‘MissKaren,’ ‘MissMargie,’‘MissMary,’ ‘Miss Pep-per,’ ‘Miss Universe,’ ‘Mt.Fujiyama,’ ‘Nikki,’ ‘Rus-sian Violet,’ ‘Sir JohnFalstaff,’ ‘Starfire,’ ‘Ten-or,’ ‘The King,’ and ‘WhiteAdmiral,’ because thesevarieties are prone tohavingmildew problemsevery year.

Health coaching is as muchabout empowerment as it isabout living well, according toSt. Elizabeth’s Target Healthwellness specialist Sara Faller.

“We try to dispel themiscon-ceptions out there (abouthealth coaching),” Faller said.“People ask: ‘Are you going totell me to exercise?’ I say: ‘No.’We’re here to support andguide people, and to providethe educational tools and re-sources theyneed tomakegooddecisions on their own.”

Independent health coachLindaBaier, of Burlington, saidshe too aims to get her clients“to take control of their ownhealth.”

“(Health coaching) empow-ers people to be in charge oftheir own lives, their owndesti-ny, their own health,” she said.

Choose to changeThe first step toward living

well, according to Faller, ischoosing to make a lifestylechange.

“We see success with peoplewho are ready to change,” shesaid. “I can’t bring you to thatpoint, it’s up to you.”

Once that point is reached,Faller said many don’t knowwhere to go next. That’s wherehealth coaching comes intoplay.

“We can help along the way(offering) knowledge and sup-port,” she said. “As a healthcoach, I don’t tell you what todo. I ask: ‘What do you want todo?’ Health coaching, for us, isdriven by the participant’sgoals.”

Faller and fellow staffmem-bers of St. Elizabeth’s TargetHealth program offer healthcoaching, wellness servicesand diseasemanagement inter-

nally to hospital associates andexternally to corporate clients.

Faller, who resides in FortThomas, has worked within theprograma little over twoyears.She studied exercise science atAshlandUniversity and earnedher master’s in health promo-tion and education at the Uni-versity of Cincinnati.

She can’t imagine havingany other career.

“You get to see people grow,change and mature, at allages,” she said. “It’s incrediblymotivating and rewarding. Youfeel likeyou’remakingadiffer-ence in people’s lives.”

According to Faller, exercis-ing and eating right greatly af-fects quality of life. The TargetHealth program staff workwith associates and clients onshaping their goals and map-ping out a plan of accomplish-

ment. The staff serves as asource of support and encour-agement, she said.

“A lot of times our job isabout just being there and sup-porting people and letting themknow they have someone theycan turn to and talk to,” Fallersaid. “Also, if you know I’m go-ing to be sending you an emailor following up with you onyour goals, like exercising for10 minutes a day, you’re morelikely to do what you’ve set outto do.”

Crave overall well-beingHealth and wellness coach

Linda Baier focuses her coach-ing efforts on nutrition, healthand healing.

“I help people understandhow their body relates to foodand how they can be their ownnutritionist and chef,” she said.

“I teach people how to eat foodwith a purpose, to heal and en-ergize their bodies.”

Baier has operated her ownbusiness, Isaiah’s Way Nutri-tion, located on Houston Roadin Florence, since 2012. Herpersonal choice to livewellwasmade in 2006 after her husbanddied from multiple complica-tions from obesity.

Baier hired a health coachwho helped her eliminate un-healthy foods and introduce

healthy choices. Needing moresupport for her health issuesand exhausting conventionalforms of treatment, Baier saida friend introduced her to a na-turopathwhospecialized inNu-tritional Response Testing andhealing with whole food andwhole food supplements.

“Finally,” said Baier, “I feltbetter for the first time inyears. I started getting re-sults.”

Within a year and a half, shewas off all prescription drugs,including pain medications, al-lergy shots and synthetic hor-mones.

A friend who noticed achange in Baier’s life asked herfor help.

“As I was helping her, Ithought: ‘I might be able to dothis full time,’” she said.

A Christian, Baier said shesought direction from God.

“I kept coming to a verse inthe book of Isaiah,” she said.The Scripture, Isaiah 55:2:“Why spend your money onfood that does not give youstrength? Why pay for foodthat does no good?Listen tome,and you will eat what is good.You will enjoy the finest food!”

“I felt (nutritional healthcoaching) was the path Godwas leading me to,” Baier said.

She received training fromthe Institute for IntegrativeNutrition and has been on herway helping others ever since.

“It’s rewarding. Each one ofmy clients inspires me andchallenges me,” she said. “See-ing the change we’remaking intheir lives has been inspiringfor my own healing andhealth.”

According to Baier, food haseverything to do with how onefeels. Her goal is to help clientsidentify ways to eat healthierand to rely less on “secondaryfoods” that we eat, she said.

Duke Energy Kentucky seeks approval to revise these rates as follows: Duke EnergyKentucky’s monthly DSM rate for residential gas customers would increase to ($0.038919) perhundred cubic feet and for non-residential gas customers would remain at $0.000000 per hundredcubic feet.
