Beechwood Independent School District For the second year, Beechwood Schools are in the state’s 99th percentile of schools, which means the district’s performance on the school report card is better than 99 percent of schools in the state. While Beechwood’s elementary scores went up, they declined for the middle and high school. The elementary school’s score went up 3 percentile points, from 73.9 for the 2011-2012 year to 76.9 this year; both scores put them in the 99th percentile. Middle school scores went down 1.4 percentile points, from 84.5 last year to 83.1 this year, dropping them from the 96th percentile to the 94th. High school scores went down slightly: from 68.8 to 67.9, but they stayed in the 99th percen- tile both years. “As I look at the whole context, this success didn’t come overnight,” said Beechwood Superintendent Steve Hut- ton. “It’s kind of been layered from peo- ple who have worked here in previous years and everybody just keeps adding to that foundation. That’s just become a part of the culture that we’re going to add to our schools’ success and be better than the previous year.” Recently, the U.S. Department of Edu- cation named Beechwood a National Blue Ribbon School, based on overall ac- ademic excellence. During the last school year, Beechwood was also ranked the sixth-best public high school of 21,000 schools in Kentucky by U.S. News and World Report, and the district was named 247th in the nation and 33rd in Kentucky out of 2,000 public high schools by Newsweek. Additionally, Beechwood High School was ranked 334th out of 1,848 public high schools by The Wash- ington Post. “Our smaller size makes a difference to some degree,” said Hutton. “Within our district, there are very few transi- tions kids have to make. The elementary students have been through the high school, and high school and middle school classes take place in the same building.

These letters, along with a resolution from the city will be forwarded on to TANK. “The more letters we get and the more residents involved, the better,” Link said. “If they don’t hear from us, then they’ll feel that there is no real con- cern and will readjust things to fit their (needs).” TANK spokeswoman Gina Douthat said the bus company encourages this type of feedback. “We’ve asked for feedback and the Edgewood community has been very vocal about how important their route is to them,” she said. “That’s what we were hopping to get out of our public in- volvement process.” She said any changes are at least a year away.

TANK would first go to the areas that would see changes for more public input. Edgewood is also requesting ideas on how to save the route or keep some route in the area. Link said he’s making the suggestion to cut the route down from three to two stops in the morning and three to two in the afternoon. He’s also suggesting a park and ride to be set up at Freedom Park. “We want to keep the bus running through Edgewood if at all possible,” Link said. “We think this is important as a city because we know that gas prices are getting higher. Ridership will grow as gas prices go up. We need to support our residents now and ensure that they have access to a transportation system that’s economical for them.” Siber, who fears that losing the route could force her into early retirement, suggests re-educating residents about public transportation. “Parking is expensive downtown, you don’t have to worry about that when you take the bus,” she said. “In the win- ter you don’t have to worry about slip- ping or sliding or damaging your car. People who’ve never ridden the bus, need to be educated on the process to encourage more use.” There’s also a special camaraderie between those who ride. “We have a bus family, that’s what we call ourselves,” she said. “If someone isn’t going to be there, they’ll let some- one know so we don’t worry. We’ve had little retirement parties and baby show- ers on the bus. You see the same people everyday on your way to work, you want to make sure they’re OK and cele- brate some of their special occasions with them.” Riders of the18X Edgewood Express board the bus in the early morning at the Dudley Pike stop in front of St. Pius School in Edgewood.

    As I look at the whole context, thissuccess didnt come overnight, saidBeechwood Superintendent Steve Hut-ton. Its kind of been layered from peo-ple who have worked here in previousyears and everybody just keeps addingto that foundation. Thats just become apartof theculture thatweregoing toaddtoour schools successandbebetter thanthe previous year.

    Recently, theU.S.DepartmentofEdu-cation named Beechwood a NationalBlue Ribbon School, based on overall ac-ademic excellence.

    and losses.Spokeswoman Jess

    Dykes said the districtsimprovement was a re-sult of continued measur-able progress.

    R.C. Hinsdale Elemen-tary inEdgewoodwas list-ed as the countys onlyDistinguished school,which is the report cardshighest category, havingraised from the 88th per-centile last year to the90th percentile this year.

    Ten schools, includingSimon Kenton, wereranked proficient, withpercentile scores rangingfrom 71 to 87. Six schoolswere left in the NeedsImprovement category,with SummitViewMiddleSchool and Woodland

    Middle School listed asprogressing.

    We are the fifth-larg-est district in the state.Based on that, were hap-py with the steady pro-gressweremakingonourgoals in our categories,saidDykes. Wemet all ofour district goals, includ-ing graduation rate. Wehad a plan for enhancedgrowth and focused onrigorous instructionbased on the commoncore standards.

    Overall, 11 schoolsraised their scores andseven schools scored low-er this year.

    Simon Kentons scorejumpedfrom60thpercen-tile last year to 87th per-centile this year. JamesA.

    Caywood Elementaryraised its score 23percen-tile points and SummitView Elementarys scorewent up 20 percentilepoints. Of the schoolswhose scores went down,River Ridge Elementarydropped 21 points, from98th to 77th percentile,and Whites Tower lost 26percentile points, goingfrom 62 last year to 36thpercentile this year.

    Simon Kenton Princi-pal Martha Setters saidthe schoolwas designatedafocusschool twoyearsago based on low perfor-mancebyonestudentsub-group in one testing cate-gory. The label sticks fortwo years, but Setters andvery proud and happy

    that the schools score hasimproved.

    We have focused onreallygooddirect instruc-tion and a response to in-tervention program forstudents who might needassistance to help themmaster certain skills,said Setters.

    Erlanger-ElsmereSchool District

    Elementary schools inthe Erlanger-ElsmereSchool District receivedlower grades on thisyears state report cards.

    Each elementaryschool saw a slight dip initsoverall score,aswellasa drop in state ranking.

    The report card scoresare based onmultiple aca-demic measures, includ-ing students scores onstate tests, graduationrates and college or ca-reer readiness.

    Superintendent KathyBurkhardt said the dis-trict plans to thoroughlyanalyze the data to assessthe route cause.

    We will continue tomeasure individual stu-dent progress at the ele-mentary, middle and highschool levels, daily, week-ly and monthly to ensureour students individualneeds are being ad-dressed and that they aremaking continuous pro-gress throughout their en-tire school experience,she said.

    Despite the low scoreson the state assessment,Burkhardt said studentsaregrowingacademicallyat the elementary levelevery day. This growth isconfirmed, she said,through data gathered byother assessment toolsused by the district, likethe Gallup Poll.

    We have been usingour Gallup Poll data to try

    toengageeverystudent insome way specificallytargeting the middle andhigh school levels, shesaid. Since the poll mea-sures hope, well-beingand engagement, the datahasassistedus inconnect-ing more students toschool in some waythrough clubs, sports,leadership opportunities,band, chorus, the Boysand Girls Club (at Tiche-nor), service learningpro-jects, etc.

    Tichenor MiddleSchool achieved high pro-gress status and rankedamong the top 10 percentin terms of improvement.

    Were pleased to seestrong progress at Tiche-norMiddle School,Burk-hardt said. Our schoolssuccess and the studentsability to achieve, despitethe obstacles that somemay face, comes fromourstudent-centered ap-proach. Were looking atthe whole child, and whatit takesforeachstudent tosucceed.

    The district receivedan overall score of 55moving it into the needsimprovement/progress-ing classification.

    Lloyd Memorial HighSchool went from a needsimprovement classifica-tion to distinguished, withan overall score of 64.7.

    Were very proud thatLloyd achieved distin-guished status and isranked in the top 10 per-cent of the schools in thestate, Burkhardt said.

    Lloyd High SchoolPrincipal John Riehe-mann attributes credit tothe focused hardwork ofour faculty and students.

    Burkhardt credits aspirit of determination.

    The key is this: Wenever give up on our stu-dents, she said.

    That means, she ex-plained, that the districtaddresses academic andnon-academic needs,whether its social, eco-nomic.

    The district, for exam-ple, provides wrap-around services, like den-tal and health clinics,summerprogramsandTi-chenors free after-schoolcare.

    FORT MITCHELL City police and Beech-wood IndependentSchools are joiningforces to help educateparents on the dangersof heroin and other nar-cotics.

    The FortMitchell Po-lice Department is host-ing a narcotics forum6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct.8, in the BeechwoodHigh School cafeteria,50 Beechwood Road,Fort Mitchell.

    Police chief Jeff El-dridge said he came upwith the idea for the fo-rum because I believemost parents do notknow what heroin lookslike or what the effectsof heroin are on individ-uals.

    With almost 25 yearsin law enforcement, El-dridge said he has wit-nessed other drug epi-demics, like that ofcrack cocaine, but, Theheroin epidemic has gotit beat, hands down.

    He wanted to get apanel of experts togeth-er to discuss the drugepidemic with everyparent inFortMitchell.

    Eldridge says theyhave not had a herionproblem with residents,although the police de-partment has made sev-eral heroin-related ar-restsofpeople travelingthrough the city.

    The purpose of the

    forum, he said, is to beproactive.

    Heroin doesnt haveany boundaries, El-dridge said. Its notstrictly an inner-cityproblem.

    The problem has hadan impact on local busi-nesses, he said. One ofthe citys businesseswas robbed by a manaddicted to heroin.

    Beechwood Superin-tendent Steve Huttonsaid the district hasntexperienced any prob-lems with heroin, but Iwould like to be proac-tive so that we donthave any problems.

    The use of heroinknows no community orsocio-economic bound-aries, Hutton said.Awareness about theuse of heroin and othernarcoticswill lead to en-lightenment for par-ents, and enlightenmentleads to empower-ment.

    According to El-dridge, forum panelmembers include theKenton County coroner,paramedics and repre-sentatives from theNorthern Kentuckymedical examiners of-fice, the Northern Ken-tucky Drug StrikeForce, Kentucky statepolice, Drug Enforce-ment Administrationtask force, and the Ken-ton County common-wealthattorneysoffice.

    Those attendingmust be at least 21.

    Ft. Mitchellpolice plannarcotics forumBy Stephanie [email protected]

    FLORENCE The Ken-tucky SymphonyOrches-tra kicks off its 22nd sea-son with Joe Greens200th Birthday Bash.

    TheOct.10 birthday ofcomposer Giuseppi Ver-di, whose name is trans-lated to Joe Green, willbe celebrated by the or-chestra, and attendees, at8 p.m. Saturday Oct. 5, atFlorence Baptist Churchat Mt. Zion.

    Tickets are $19, $27and $35 and are half-offfor students 6-18.

    Music director JamesCassidy said he liked theidea of being able to do aperformance so close toVerdis actual 200thbirthday, doing some-thing thats kind of funand something thats offour beaten path.

    Theres a lot of musicthat will be familiar tothose in the audience.

    Part of that is be-cause its public domain,said Cassidy. Anotherreason? The fact that itsso tuneful.

    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 thebeaten path is nothingnew for the KSO.

    Some things are aone-time (production),said Cassidy. You reallywill not get this any placeelse.

    That may be hard for

    folks to think about wheninformation can be readi-ly found, our world atour finger tips, Cassidysaid.

    Its not always the re-ality and you certainlycant get it live.

    That, Cassidy said, haskept it fresh.

    I dont know that Iwould be excited goingoff anddoingwhat every-one else does.

    Cassidy says its kindof hard to believe thesymphony is entering its22nd season.

    While KSO offices arein Newport, Cassidy saidtheyll perform in thethree Northern Ken-tucky counties this sea-

    son.Not having their own

    VILLA HILLS Balance anddepth have been crucial forthe Villa Madonna Academygirls golf team.

    While the Blue Lightninghave no superstars this year,the fact they can post solidscores in slots one throughfive has helped them have aproductive 2013 season,

    Wevegot fiveplayerswhoare really close in scoring andvery capable players that onany given day, any one of thefive could lead us in scoring,said head coach Greg Schuh.

    Improvement in stoppingthe run and being able to runhas helped the Beechwoodfootball team bounce backfrom blowout loss to DixieHeights with three straightsolid performances headinginto one final major challengebefore it begins itsClassAdis-trict schedule.

    Beechwood has gone 2-1since a 41-20 loss to Class 6ADixie in which it allowed 420yards rushing and rushed forjust 36 yards. The Tigers, whofollowed that loss with a 34-7win over Holy Cross, becamejust the second team since thestart of the 2011 season to holdClass 5A power FranklinCounty to less than30points ina 28-24 loss (Cooper heldFranklin County to 27 in aquarterfinal playoff win lastseason) and whipped Class 4AHolmes this past Friday, 40-7.

    Beechwood (3-2) hostsClass 4A Covington Catholic(3-2) at 7:30 p.m. this Thurs-day. The Colonels have suf-ferednumerous injuries on of-fense and struggled becauseof it, averaging just10.3 pointsin its last three games albeitagainst very good teams (Cin-cinnatiMoeller, Class 6AHen-derson County and High-lands).

    We got out-physicaled byDixie and I didnt do agood jobof scheming what CoachDave) Brossart did, saidBeechwood coach Noel Rash.Were just getting more con-sistent. Were starting to playwithour talent andnot thinkasmuch. Were stopping the runmoreconsistentlyandrunningthe ball better, not as good aswe would like, but better. De-fensively were playing betterup front. The front 7 are doinga good job with the reads andgetting after it.

    That front seven featuresdefensive ends BraydenCombs, a sophomore, and ju-nior Jonathon Stokes; tacklesBlake Hamilton, a junior, andjunior Riley McKown; outsidelinebackers Brett Slusher, asophomore, and senior DevonEverett, who was moved fromsafety and the rotation at mid-dle linebacker of sophomoreRyan Bankemper and juniorBret Finck.

    Rash said he has made theschedule especially tough thisyear in hopes of having his

    teamprepared for a long play-off run. The Tigers haventreached the state champion-shipgamesincewinning the ti-tle in 2008.

    PlayingFranklinCounty isstrictly to see the type of ath-letes well see against Frank-fort and Mayfield, said Rash.A W would have been nice,but we did a good job for mostof that game. The W reallyfelt good this past week, be-causewe controlled both sidesof the line of scrimmageagainst a good team and con-trolled some really good ath-letes, too.

    A publication of

    On Sept. 12 at the NorthernKentucky Convention Center,I received the FrontiersmanAward, recognizing a life-long history of service toNorthern Kentucky, exempli-fying the highest standardsof personal integrity andfamily responsibilities. Inconnection with the award, Iprepared the following wordsof encouragement for North-ern Kentuckys next genera-tion of leaders.

    Each year we gather at thechamber dinner to honoraward recipients. Past Fron-tiersman Award winners likeMer Grayson, Ralph Drees,Bill Butler, and many others,helped build this region. Wehave an excellent foundationwhich they havent stoppedbuilding. But our next gener-ation of leaders, throughtheir will, inspiration, andhard work, will play the de-termining role in our col-lective future.

    For tomorrows leaders,first, know that every door isopen for you. I met Melissa atage 19. In a huge leap of faith,she agreed to marry me andwe came to Northern Ken-tucky at age 25. We startedour careers, originally havingbeen from smaller towns. Inother places, we probablywould have had to struggle toget involved. This communityopened every door for us. Iknow those same doors willbe open for you.

    Second, know that by com-ing to Northern Kentuckyyou have come to the rightplace. I remember my firstChamber dinner vividly. BillRobinson, a past Frontiers-man AwardWinner, deliv-ered an inspiring speechabout community involve-ment and prosperity. Thatspeech, the Chamber, andmany others helped shapeour regions identity. Here,we usually see the best inpeople, and wherever we lookwe see opportunities.

    Third, I hope you will in-clude businesses and growthas among your passions. Truebusiness advocates, who cansee the favorable impact ofeconomic development onfamilies, are in shorter sup-ply than you might think. Noteveryone sees commerce aslending a helping hand to allpeople in a region, but it does.

    Fourth, as youre search-ing for the next great oppor-tunity to get involved, myhope for you is that youre

    blessed withgreat part-ners. Sur-round your-self withpeople whopick you upwhen you fall and you willfall, as I did,from time-to-time. Youcant do it

    alone. Church, family andfriends have helped me everystep of the way.

    In the coming days, weeksand years, show up, speak up,and be true to your passion.People here will recognizeand remember you for it. Ona personal level, your life willcome together - throughfaith, family and service - inways you never imagined. Ona regional level, envisionhaving a climate so favorableto commerce that it leads toexcellent jobs for every fam-ily. It can be done.

    So as the torch passes toyou, and it will, see that thedoors are open, be proud ofyour community, understandbusiness, and make greatchoices with your partners inlife. Finally, know that as youlead, our community will bethere to help. In fact, werehonored when you ask for ourhelp.

    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 from me?

    Too often, we make relation-ships in our lives more compli-cated than they need to be. Wetend to think for the otherperson. Assuming we knowwhat they want from us andfeeling frustrated, because wecant always muster the re-sources to give it.

    We assume the spousewould be happier if we lostweight, so we join the gym andthe 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 maneu-ver 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 from me? 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. And withmy heart comes my time andattention. The Bible tells usthat 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.(Psalm 14:2)

    The Lord watches and waitsfor 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 old talkabout horses means more thana new riding helmet. (Well, Imay be pushing it on that lastone.)

    However, one things forsure, You will show me thepath of life; in your presence iffullness of joy; at your righthand are pleasures forever-more. (Psalm 16:11)

    Today, experience the full-ness of joy and pleasures for-evermore simply by spendingtime with God and those youlove.

    Students, welcome to Moral-ity Class 666. Today were go-ing to learn an important les-son about embezzling (steal-ing) from taxpayers. You mayhave been taught by your par-ents that stealing is alwayswrong. Its not that black andwhite anymore. Your sillyparents are stuck in the pastwith their Leave It to Beavermoral compass. Progressivelyspeaking, stealing all dependson whos doing the stealing andwhy theyre stealing.

    For example, when a gov-ernment employee embezzlesfrom taxpayers for personaluse, that kind of stealing isbad. This person must be pun-ished to the full extent of thelaw. Im sure your parentsagree. You may have heardabout a Covington city workerwho stole $600,000 from tax-payers. The authorities areconfiscating all his assets. If heis found guilty, he will go to jailfor a very long time.

    But today, theres anotherkind of stealing that is nobleand should be applauded. Thisstealing occurs when you stealtaxpayer money to benefit

    yourself andyou claim thestolen moneywill benefitchildren or aworthy cause.This type ofstealing iscalled Stealingfor the Beaver.Progressivelyspeaking, thisis not stealing.

    When you steal to benefit your-self and claim youre helpingchildren, thats good stealing.

    Some of your parents dontunderstand this difference.Theyre stuck in what we callthe Cleaver Syndrome wherestealing is always wrong.These old-fashioned relicsrefuse to embrace moralitysnew normal. Thank God theycant live forever. Did I sayGod in school?

    Let me illustrate what Imean. Recently, two judgesruled that local libraries wereillegally stealing millions ofdollars from taxpayers forover 30 years. Its not wrongbecause they and childrenbenefited from their crime.

    Since some of the governmentmoney was for a noble cause,its not really stealing.

    Heres our morality lessonfor today - If you are going tochoose a life of crime, makesure your story includes anI stole for the children angleor a noble cause like support-ing the GayMidget Nuns onDrugs Foundation.

    If you follow these rules,you will enjoy of life of crimeand not be sent to jail, yourassets will not be seized andyou can keep the stolen ob-jects. Yes, you can be a rockstar in the public-sector.

    Children, the Justice De-partment ranks Kentucky asthe fourth most corrupt statein America. Were counting onyou to make sure we reach thefinal four every year. Dont letus down.

    Children, tomorrow you willlearn why stealing tax moneyfor your personal gain andbankrupting your childrensfuture is noble. Good grief!

    Americas new morality:stealing from taxpayer

    TomWurtzCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST

    Looking for a sure-fire wayto ignite a heated politicaldiscussion? Say the wordsAffordable Care Act, healthcare reform or Obamacare.The changes to the health caresystem set in motion by the2010 Patient Protection andAffordable 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 as

    you read thesenext few para-graphs as aconsumer,someone whouses thehealth caresystem fromtime to time.

    First, mostpeople whoalready havehealth insur-ance cover-

    age, either from a plan of-fered 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 get

    a bit muddy here: Some states,including Kentucky, havedecided to run their own in-surance exchanges. Others,including Ohio and Indiana,will have their residents pur-chase insurance on the federalexchange.

    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 on
