The Thomas More Collegeand Campbell County commu-nities are in shock at the loss ofa beloved young man who cele-brated his 21st birthday earlierthis month.

Mitch Kramer was about tobegin his junior year at Thom-as More, where he majored inbiology and was a defensiveback on the Saints footballteam. The 2013 Campbell Coun-ty High graduate died in an all-terrain vehicle accident in Al-exandria on Monday morning.

“The best thing about Mitchwas his infectious smile. He al-ways greeted you with a smile

and a handshake,” said StephenLickert, who coached Kramerat Campbell County HighSchool. “He was a kid you al-ways wanted to be around.”

The Campbell County Coro-ner’s Office identified Kramerhours after the crash, which oc-curred at 102 Rifle Range Roadaround 2:27 a.m., according to arelease from Campbell Countyofficials.

Additional information re-garding the specific cause ofdeath wasn’t available. Au-thorities’ attempts to reviveMitchell weren’t successful.He wasn’t breathing when au-thorities found him next to an

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS —Campbell County Commission-er Charlie Coleman says a bi-partisan committee has beenset up to lobby against KentonCounty’s attempt to woo awaySalmon P. ChaseCollege of Law.

Founded in1893 in Cincin-nati, Salmon P.Chase College ofLaw has been atNorthern Ken-tucky Univer-sity’s HighlandHeights campussince 1982. Prior to 1982, the lawschool was in Covington aftermerging with NKU in 1972.

“We need to be active andfight to keep Chase law schoolat NKU in Highland Heights,”said Coleman, a Republican.

Kenton County, according toa May Enquirer article, isstudying moving Chase’s morethan 400 law students and 40faculty to Kenton County’s ad-ministration building at 303Court St, Covington. KentonCounty’s building has been 40percent vacant since the jailmoved out in 2010 when a newdetention center was built. Ken-ton County plans to renovate thespace regardless of whetherChase College of Law is the ten-ant. Kenton County Judge-exec-utive Kris Knochelman did notimmediately respond to calls.

Former Campbell CountyClerk Jack Snodgrass, of ColdSpring, a Democrat, and KenMoellman Sr., a Northern Ken-tucky Tea Party member, aresome of the other members ofthe anti-move group, said Cole-man, of Alexandria.

Discussing the group’s strat-egy or other members is some-thing Coleman said he didn’twant to do at this time.

Kenton County already hasthe Northern Kentucky Con-vention Center and owns andcontrols the Cincinnati/North-ern Kentucky Airport in BooneCounty, he said. Chase Collegeof Law and NKU are some ofCampbell County’s premier as-sets, Coleman said.

“We’ve got our jewel, the uni-versity, and they want part ofit,” Coleman said.

ATV, officials said.Kramer remained

close to the CampbellCounty football program,visiting his former coach-es and helping his young-er brother Mason, a Cam-els tight end, prepare for

his sophomore season.Mitch was a team captainhis senior year. The com-munity is in shock.

“It’s really, really hardto believe,” Lickert said.“He is so well thought ofin our community. We’rejust praying for the fam-ily and will do anythingwe can to help them getthrough this.”

Thomas More presi-dent Dave Armstrong andhead football coach RegisScafe visited the Kramerfamily on Monday. Thecampus dedicated itsnoon Mass to Kramer andplanned a candlelight vig-il on campus at 8 p.m.Monday. The footballteam was expected tomeet Monday afternoonto discuss how they wantto honor Kramer.

“He wanted to befriends with everybody.Everyone knew him andeveryone loved him,” sen-ior defensive back IanGunn said.

Gunn mentored Kra-mer upon his arrival oncampus and the two be-came fast friends. Itseemed like everyonewho met Kramer quicklybecame his friend.

“He always had a smileon his face. He was an ex-tremely positive guy,”senior defensive linemanErick Butler said. “Hispositive attitude was con-tagious.”

Kramer appeared insix games for the Saints asa sophomore, tallying fivetackles. As the newsspread Monday morning,his teammates banded to-gether to remember him.

“I truly believe he isone of, if not the best, guysI know. He always had asmile on his face,” seniordefensive back Kyle Full-er said. “He was always sopositive and worked hardon everything he did. Hestudied hard, he workedout hard, he was the epit-ome of what you want in ateammate.”

A GoFundMe page hasbeen created to raisefunds for a scholarship atThomas More or Camp-bell County in Kramer’shonor. The Saints will finda way to preserve hismemory this season, like-ly through a helmet stick-er or visible display on theSaints home field. Thebest way to honor Kra-mer, said his teammates,is to smile and work likeKramer did every day.

Greg Meyers said he hasmet with NKU PresidentGeoffrey S. Mearns andNKU Board of Regentschairman Terry L. Mannabout not moving ChaseCollege of Law.

“Like PresidentMearns said, if KentonCounty comes to us withan offer they have to lookat it, but moving off cam-pus – that’s not in theirplans right now,” Meyerssaid of NKU.

Meyers said he willcontinue to check in withNKU about the lawschool.

“It is a concern for thecity,” he said.

Campbell CountyJudge-executive StevePendery said space atNKU is finite. NKU’sboard is encouraged tolook at the bottom line,Pendery said during anAug. 5 Fiscal Court meet-ing.

“They won’t get it un-

less they throw a wholebunch of money at them,”Pendery said of KentonCounty.

Kenton County has tomove out of its buildingat 303 Court St., Coving-ton, before anything canhappen, Pendery said.

“So, there is sometime,” he said. “This is along-term decision.”

Cold Spring residentSue Orth said she and oth-er residents are frustrat-ed Pendery has not comeout publicly opposing amove of Chase College of

Law.“They feel that Ken-

ton County is being veryaggressive, and they feelthat our county is layingback and playing defenseinstead of offense,” Orthsaid.

Orth was one-timeDemocratic candidatefor county commissionerin 2006 when she lost tothen Republican incum-bent Mark Hayden.

“We will need to learnmore facts,” Penderysaid. “Before I take a po-sition on it I’m going to

know a lot more about it.” Pendery said he is

working behind thescenes.

“This is not ripe fordiscussion,” Penderysaid. “I don’t have a posi-tion that I want to push onpeople at this moment.That’s not for a lack ofdiscussion with HighlandHeights and the univer-sity.”

If the law schoolmoves to Covington andanother tenant moves in,the financial position forHighland Heights andthe county could be thesame in terms of jobs andpayroll taxes, he said. Amove of Chase College ofLaw off campus createsspace for other NKU ini-tiatives, Pendery said.

Commissioner TomLampe, a Republican ofFort Thomas, said FiscalCourt is part of discus-sions.

“There are talks goingon with Fiscal Courtmembers with high-leveladministrators at NKU,”Lampe said.

PARK HILLS — CovingtonCatholic High School will field anew logo unifying its sportsteams and education brandingwith the sign of the cross.

CovCath, Northern Ken-tucky’s only all-male Catholichigh school, will unveil a newathletic turf with the school’snew cross inset into a “C” logoat mid-field during a 5:30 p.m.Friday, Aug. 21, “throwback”football game vs. Ryle HighSchool. A set of soccer “throw-back” games will be Aug. 22with a 5 p.m. junior varsitygame and 6:30 p.m. varsitygame each against Trinity HighSchool in Louisville.

Established in Covington in1925, CovCath has been in ParkHills since 1954. The schooldraws students from 21 ZIPcodes from counties includingBoone, Campbell, Kenton inKentucky and Hamilton inOhio.

“I think it’s going to encour-age us and definitely bring a lotmore energy into the program,”said senior football playerCameron Pitzer, of Villa Hills,of the new field and logo.

The school’s colonel logo,dressed in royal blue and white,is getting a makeover and willalso be unveiled with the main“C” and cross logo Aug. 21.

A throwback game is achance to see the new turf fieldpaid for with $230,000 of the$653,000 cost paid from an NFLFoundation Grassroots Grant,Principal Bob Rowe said.

People are invited to watch avideo and hear guest speakersabout the school’s past success-es and future plans after theAug. 21 football game, Rowesaid.

Track, soccer, football andlacrosse teams will all use thefield, Rowe said.

Creating a new logo replacesvarious other logos each differ-ent sports team had includingone featuring a basketball net.The new C logo took the samecross used on the school’s offi-cial seal, Rowe said.

“The most important partthat we wanted to make sure

that was prominent was ourCatholic identity,” he said.

A trend for area high schoolsand middle schools, includingHighlands Middle School inFort Thomas, is to create aschool-wide logo and brand,said Jill Franxman, CovCath’sdirector of business operations

and marketing. “We’re going to share a

brand standards document, sojust like Procter & Gamble andDisney and Apple have longperfected if you will, and manyschools are headed in the samedirection,” Franxman said.

Up is the direction of Cov-

Cath’s enrollment within thelast five years, she said.

CovCath’s enrollment has in-creased 25 percent in five yearsfrom 485 students to 610 stu-dents starting classes Aug. 17,Franxman said.

And at 173 students, thisyear’s freshman class is the big-gest since 1972, she said. Lastyear’s freshman class had 162students.

Rowe said he credits Cov-Cath’s “product” for enroll-ment growth.

“You look at our spirituality,our community service that weoffer and what we’re producingin these young men each andevery day,” Rowe said. “I thinkpeople see that out there in thecommunity and they want to bea part of it.”

And credit for academicsneeds to go to teachers, he said.

“Academically we feel likewe’re leading the way with re-gards to we’re implementing anew STEM program,” Rowesaid.

STEM is an acronym for Sci-ence Technology Engineeringand Math. CovCath is startingwith two classes that will even-tually evolve into a four-yearprogram, he said.

Students in STEM courseswill earn college credit, saidLaura J. Sage, CovCath’s direc-tor of advancement.

Student ACT scores are av-eraging about 26, Sage said.CovCath had three studentsearn a perfect score of 36 on theACT last year.

“There is a lot of newness go-ing on,” Rowe said. “There’s alot of excitement and energy.”

Having a new field and andunified school logo brings ex-citement, and hopefully morepeople to games, said soccerplayer Bryce Day of Edgewood

“I like the cross in the middleof the C,” Day said of the new lo-go. “I think that’s kind of cool.”

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS COMINGAdding stadium lights is a CovCath goal, Principal Bob Rowe said.“I think it’s important for our student athletes to be able to participate on Friday nights in front of more

people,” Rowe said.Having a 5:30 p.m. Aug. 21 throwback football game is part of a way of generating excitement for eventually

adding field lighting, he said.“There’s a reason why the NFL is played on Sunday, college is played on Saturday and high school is played on

Friday, and we need to be a part of that,” Rowe said.

others across Kentucky andthe nation.

“This new public servicewill enable communitiesacross Kentucky to measurethe performance of their econ-omies and allow them to bench-mark against others,” saidCEAD director Janet Harrah.“We aim to provide meaningfuldata that can help propel theeconomies of communitiesacross our commonwealth.”

Major data sets include em-ployment by industry and oc-cupation; labor force status, in-cluding unemployment rates;personal income statistics; anddemographic trends.

CEAD will aggregate thefederal labor data and make itavailable by Area Develop-ment District, Metropolitan

Statistical Area and, in somecases, by city and county.

The student-led project issupervised by Harrah, a mem-ber of the state’s ConsensusForecasting Group.

Data is available atbluegrassbythenumbers.nku.eduand via Excel-based tools peo-ple can download. Regular re-ports are also available viaemail.

Bluegrass By The Numbersis modeled on the successful“Northern Kentucky by theNumbers,” a CEAD initiativethat provides similar data forthe Northern Kentucky andGreater Cincinnati region andregular reports on the region’seconomic climate.

It seems to me that thebest part of summer isright now, what with allthe homegrown summerproduce at its peak.That’s why it’s always sohard for me to accept the

fact thatit’s also thetime kidsare goingback toschool. If Ihad anysay in thematter(which Iobviouslydon’t), I’drevert to

the old days when schoolstarted after Labor Day,not before.

The reality is that thisweek will be the firstweek of school for manyof our children, so therecipe I’m sharing formaple granola is timely.The chunkiness alongwith some healthy ingre-dients makes this an easychoice for snacks or atopping for yogurt.

Chunky maplecinnamon granola

I recommend old-fashioned oats becausethey’re larger and bakeup nicely. Be carefulwhen breaking apart.

Mix together:4 cups old-fashioned

oatsAbout 1 to 1-1/2 cups

favorite nuts, choppedcoarsely if necessary

1 cup seeds: Try sesa-me, flax, millet, chia,hemp, pumpkin or sun-flower or a combination.

CoatingWhisk together:1/2 to 2/3 cup brown

sugar

1/2 cup extra virginolive oil

1/2 cup real maplesyrup or honey

1 tablespoon vanilla1 teaspoon cinnamon

(optional)Preheat oven to 325.

Put a piece of parchmentor foil on large cookiesheet (about 15x17 withsides). Spray parchment/foil. Pour coating overoat mixture. Pour ontopan and pat down evenlyand very firmly. This isimportant to make thegranola chunk up later.Bake 35 minutes or so,until it looks golden. Ilike to pat it down againwhile it’s still warm. Letcool and break intochunks.

Healthy seedsMillet (you recognize

it as an ingredient in birdfeed) gives a crunch andcontains protein and iron.

Chia, like flax, is agreat source of Omega3’s, but doesn’t have to beground to get the benefit.It also absorbs water andcurbs appetite.

Hemp seeds. So, Iknow what you’re think-ing ... you won’t go offinto la-la land after in-gesting hemp seeds.They are hulled and safeto eat. The bonus: they’rea complete protein andfull of Omega 3s.

Medley of roastedsummer veggies

My friend Bob downthe road put out a basketof eggplant “for free” onthe stoop by his old well.Who could resist? Notme! I’ll be adding theeggplant to a roastedsummer vegetable med-

ley. Simple and easy toserve, the veggies are cutup prior to roasting. It’sadapted from one sharedby my talented and shar-ing colleague and friend,Amy Tobin. Check outAmy’s site atwww.amy-tobin.com.

4 cups summer veg-gies, like asparagus,small turnips, beets,zucchini, yellow squash,eggplant, bell peppers,potatoes, green beans,etc., cut up

1 tablespoon olive oil2 teaspoons balsamic

vinegarSalt and pepper to

taste1 teaspoon minced

garlicRed pepper flakes to

taste1/2 cup olive or grape

seed oilPreheat oven to 425.

Combine all the ingredi-ents and seasonings inlarge bowl, season withsalt and pepper to taste.Spread vegetables out onlarge-rimmed bakingsheet and roast untiltender.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Olive oil vs. grapeseed oil: Olive oil is madefrom olives and grapeseed oil is made from theseeds of grapes. Becausethey are plant-derived,neither contains choles-terol. Both have vitaminE, which is good for yourimmune system andprotects your cells.Grape seed oil has twicethe vitamin E of olive oil.

Olive oil has a distinctflavor where grape seedoil has a neutral flavor.Although both oils have a

high smoke point (goodfor high temperatures),grape seed has a highersmoke point than olive.Which one to use de-pends upon the flavorprofile you are lookingfor.

The wheels on thebus go round andround, round andround, round andround. The wheels onthe bus go round andround all through thetown.

As a mother of a3-month-old, I sing thissong and dozens like itover and over and overduring the course of aday. My son smiles and coos atmy singing. I smile knowingthat this simple song is doingmuch more than offering a fewminutes of fun. It is helping hisbrain develop and ultimatelythis simple, repetitive act al-lows him to grow with astronger foundation for learn-ing.

In Northern Kentucky wehave more than 5,000 childrenentering kindergarten each

year. Unfortunately,only 53 percent, orapproximately 2,840, ofthose children areactually ready.

In order for toddlersto become strong stu-dents, and to effective-ly reduce achievementgaps, Northern Ken-tucky should supportand invest in programsthat increase kinder-

garten readiness rates. In-creasing readiness rates wouldnot only positively impact thelives of those children in need;it would also have a rippleeffect on Northern Kentucky’sfuture workforce and econo-my.

That’s why Skyward, theorganization and engineerbehind Northern Kentucky’sstrategic vision, has identifiedkindergarten readiness as one

of four strategies for enhanc-ing the economic climate inNorthern Kentucky. Our goalat Skyward is to ensure that atleast 1,000 more children areprepared and ready for kin-dergarten by the year 2020.

According to economist Dr.James Heckman two-thirds oflearning achievement gapsexist when a child walks ontheir first day of kindergarten.So how can we better prepareour children? We believe wecan tackle this challengethrough the launch of a newprogram called Pre-K Works.An independent, cross-sectorinitiative co-convened by Sky-ward and Success by 6, Pre-KWorks will provide universalaccess to high quality pre-school for all children ages 3and 4.

A voluntary program, Pre-KWorks has three primary areas

of focus:» Increasing parental

choice by providing tuitioncredits for every child, regard-less of income, to attend high-quality preschool for up to twoyears before beginning kin-dergarten;

» Investing in quality bysupporting proven strategiesthat support childcare facil-ities with efforts to improvetheir quality rating and moveup on the commonwealth’squality rating system;

» Offer additional mentor-ing experiences, learning sup-ports, and home visiting forparents and caregivers ofyoung children;

Decades of research byeconomists, neuroscientists,and educators have shown thatinvestments in the first fiveyears – including high-qualitypreschool experiences – result

in long-term gains for studentsand produce significant sav-ings for governments and tax-payers. The answer couldn’t beclearer – Pre-K Works.

Done well, Pre-K Works willbe a transformational initia-tive. This year as we prepareto launch Pre-K Works we'll betesting the initiative in theErlanger-Elsmere School Dis-trict. Regardless of whichcommunity you live in, If youare a parent, grandparent,business leader, educator, orelected official I encourageyou to visitwww.skywardnky.org learnmore about Pre-K Works andto join us in our effort to en-sure more Northern Kentuckychildren are prepared for kin-dergarten.

Negative 12 degrees, fighting ice or 95degrees and mud covered, the cows stillneed to be fed.

Some might say that it’s a horrible jobfor a high school student. But I love it.

Farming is not a luxurious or comfort-able job, and you always have to be readyfor a letdown. Although on the bright side,when everything goes smoothly and youturn out a bumper crop, farming is themost satisfying job on earth.

Good or bad, farming is a gamble withuncontrollable variableslike weather, economy andmechanical failures. Whenyou feel like you are play-ing against loaded dice,and the odds are againstyou, the best thing you cando is keep working smartand hope for a betteryears to follow.

Many of my classmateswould be discouraged bythe hurdles of farming,but there are still many of

us who prefer this job to the conveniencesof working behind a counter in an air-con-ditioned retail shop.

Why would we prefer this job?There are many reasons that test our

skills, endurance, strength and problem-solving ability. We are outside people whofind it rewarding working with our handsand our minds, while connecting with oth-ers who share similar goals. In the retailposition, a pay raise is very rewarding, butin farming our pay raises come as healthybaby calves, less competitive weeds,smooth operating equipment, and a fairprice for crops.

So even though farming is a gamblefinancially, to quote the FFA Creed, “Iknow the joys and discomforts of agricul-tural life, and hold an inborn fondness forthose associations which, even in hours ofdiscouragement, I cannot deny.”

One of the key roles of theoffice of the Kentucky Trea-surer’s Office is to managethe unclaimed property pro-gram. Unclaimed propertylaws have been around fordecades in Kentucky and inthe United States.

Hundreds of unclaimedbank accounts, insurancebenefits, dividends, stocks,bonds and other propertyfunds go unclaimed by citi-zens and their family members eachyear in the commonwealth. This isusually due to a change in address, adeath or change in name. It is up tothe state treasurer to manage theprocess of recovering funds for therightful owners.

Kentucky has even nowjoined the national MissingMoney registry to assist thoseacross the globe who mighthave unclaimed funds held bythe Kentucky treasury. Any-one can search on a particularname and the treasurer’soffice has safeguards in placeto insure the funds and prop-erty are returned to theirrightful owner or heirs.

Elderly citizens are oftencontacted by outside firms offeringto secure their unclaimed funds for afee. While legal, these solicitationscan cause concern and confusion andoften leads to funds going unclaimedfor decades. With Kentucky’s easyonline search and secure request

form process, Kentuckians can feelconfident in the process of recover-ing property and funds that rightful-ly belong to them or their familymember.

I urge all Kentuckians to visit thewebsite of the Kentucky State Trea-surer to search for money and prop-erty that could be claimed. Visit theKentucky Treasurer’s website forinformation and to start a search.

Last week’s questionDid you watch the Republican presi-

dential debate last week? Who im-pressed you? Why?

“Carly and Ben. The others are allmore of the same. Washington couldsorely stand some no BS intelligentleadership. I would serve on Fiorina’scampaign in an instant if she becomes acontender.”

D.H.

“I watched the debate and I am im-pressed by Trump. His actions and pro-nouncements are just outward mani-festations of the GOP’s policies and be-liefs. I can’t understand why they standspeechless or don’t applaud. Maybethey can’t stand seeing the reality oftheir beliefs, in living color, right infront of them. I know the GOP sickensme, but they should be able to hold theirstomachs and keep it down when one oftheir own is preaching to their choir.”

C.S.

“I certainly did watch the first of toomany debates for this election cycle

and found it quite entertaining. I didnot find, nor expect, a great deal of sub-stance, but with Mr. Trump literally atcenter stage, how could one not find itto be a good-watch. I gave Fox a bigblack mark for daring to have commer-cials in the midst of a presidential de-bate and was somewhat surprisedwhen Ryan Seacrest wasn’t the persontelling us ‘the debate will be right backafter this...’

“The winner, according only to me,was Chris Christie. He is straightfor-ward, thoughtful, and yes, a politician,but I get the sense that he can absolute-ly actually lead this country down a bi-partisan path that has been sorely lack-ing with the incumbent individual.

There are clearly too many candidatestrying for the Brass Ring on the repub-lican side and I fully expect that num-ber to start decreasing soon whenthose that cannot raise any money real-ize that is for a reason.

M.J.F.

“I preferred the format used for theRepublican debate. The questionswere ‘tailored’ to each candidate. Noone was left off the hook.

Special ‘attention’ was paid to Don-ald Trump with their insightful ques-tions. Due to the large number of nomi-nees (17), I do not feel anyone eliminat-ed themselves and I look forward to an-other one with less candidates and thisformat. I felt Carly Fiorini and Gov.Kasich took a step forward: Fiorina be-cause she has actually run a businessand Kasich because he has had somefiscal success. I was looking forward toDonald Trump’s comments but he didnot help himself.

“My early prediction is a ticket ofJeb Bush and as V.P. Carly Fiorina.Trump could be the third party spoilera la Ross Perot in 1992. Go figure!”

Dan Wagner enters his thirdseason as head coach at New-port Central Catholic with ex-pectations.

There is no longer a questionas to who will start at quarter-back. There are few positionbattles as the Thoroughbredsenter camp, with 14 out of 22starters returning. Fewer ques-tion marks equals much higherexpectations as the 2015 cam-paign begins.

With uncertainty at quarter-back and limited experience en-tering last season, the ’Bredsstruggled out of the gate. Afterlosing their first four games,they rallied all the way to a thirdstraight Class 2A state champi-onship game. This year, with ju-nior Patrick Henschen en-trenched at quarterback and ex-perience on both sides of the

ball, NewCath will be expectedto return to the state finals.

“The biggest differencefrom last year is our experi-ence,” said Wagner. “We havenine starters back on defense,five on offense, as well as ourpunter and kicker.”

The Thoroughbreds fell onewin short in each of the past twoseasons, losing to DeSales in thestate final each time. This year’ssquad hopes to reclaim theClass 2A title which NewCathlast won in 2012.

Henschen emerged from athree-way position battle to leadthe offense last season. He hastaken strides in the offseasonand will be bolstered by the re-turn of running back JacobSmith.

“He is looking good so farthis summer, and the experi-ence he was able to get last yearshould be a big help,” said Wag-ner.

Cameron Winters and Bry-son Hightchew will lead the linethat protects Henschen andopens holes for Smith and full-back John Harris. Linemen Ma-leek Lawrence, Luke Kues, andKonner Carmack, and lineback-ers Kobe Tallon and Harris willanchor the defense.

The goal this year is simpleand obvious:

“Get back to the state final,and have a different outcome,”said Wagner.

There is a different en-ergy at Bishop Brossartfootball practices thissummer. The Mustangsenter this season withconfidence and stability,two things that were lack-ing a year ago.

“It’s ridiculously dif-ferent,” head coach PaulWiggins said. “The guysalready know the system.We’re gonna stay withwhat they know.”

There is experience inmultiple positions, and 31players on the roster.That’s 10 more playersthan the team fielded lastyear. The Mustangs willhave a junior varsity teamthis year. Wiggins tookover late last summer andscrambled to field a team.The Mustangs won justone game while playing inClass 2A. They move backdown to Class 1A this yearand are far more comfort-able in the offensive anddefensive schemes.

“We got such a latestart last year, we weren’tfully able to get up tospeed,” said Wiggins. “Weare leaps and boundsahead of where we were atthis time last year.”

The team’s top tworushers both return.Frank Cetrulo led the

team with 519 rushingyards in 2014, while LoganSchoulthies added 247yards. Junior Chase Kel-ler and senior Craig Pfef-ferman are competing forthe starting quarterbackjob.

The Mustangs will belacking in offensive linedepth. Middle linebackerGriffin Goepper will leadthe defense.

The reclassificationand a new home field willhelp the Mustangs bemore competitive in 2015.The full year of experi-ence under Wiggins andhis staff will lead to amore mature team. Thegoal is to translate thatnew-found maturity intomore wins.

BRANDON SEVERN FOR THE COMMUNITY PRESS

T.J. Moore of Brossart finds some holes on a punt return. Bishop Brossart puts the final work in before opening their seasonagainst Dayton, Ky.

After a promising 2014season that ended in theClass 2A state quarterfi-nals, Newport HighSchool’s football programis starting from scratch.

Tim Viox was namedthe head coach in mid-July and he and his staffhave been scrambling toget the team up to speed inpreparation for the sea-son opener on Aug. 21.The Wildcats won eightgames last season, but arein rebuilding mode fol-lowing the dismissal ofcoach Matthew Schmitzfollowing his arrest inMay.

Viox, who has been thehead coach at three pro-grams on the other side ofthe Ohio River, brings ex-perience and enthusiasmto the job. Now, he justneeds to find enough play-ers to make sure Newportstays competitive.

“The biggest challengehas been getting to knowthe kids, finding out theirstrengths and weakness-es, and figuring out whatmotivates them,” saidViox, who previouslycoached Madeira, North-west, and Fairfield. “Wehave a good group of kids,

we just don’t have enoughof them.”

The new coaching staffis installing a flexbone,triple-option offense anda multiple 50 front de-fense. Senior Ryan Ochoamoves from wide receiv-er to quarterback thisyear and will the catalystof the offense. Runningback Tyree Bolden re-turns as well.

The defense will be ledby linebackers Shane Ri-ley and Dee Joseph. Arin“Teddy” Reynolds an-chors the offensive anddefensive lines. All areseniors dedicated to con-tinuing their winningways despite the offsea-son adversity.

“We’ve got a goodgroup of seniors who real-ly want to win,” said Viox.“They are respondingwith a great attitude.”

A program rich in tra-dition has a new leadercharged with carrying onand adding to its legacy.Woody McMillen entershis first season as Belle-vue head football coachready to continue andbuild upon the Tigers’winning ways.

Bellevue has finished7-5 in each of the pastfour seasons. The Tigershave bowed out in thesecond round of the Class1A state playoffs in eachof those seasons. McMil-len, the program’s thirdcoach in four years,hopes to turn the Tigersinto a state powerhouse.

“Instead of develop-

ing a team, we’re lookingat it as developing a pro-gram. We’re trying to de-velop younger guys andgive them an identity,”said the former Walton-Verona head coach andLudlow assistant. “It’sabout developing rela-tionships and a sense oftrust.”

Leading this year’steam will be seniors CamChase (RB/LB), TylerNoonchester (OL/DL),Michael Thompson (OL/DL), Nick Ackerson (DB/WR/RB), and Cam Ful-mer (TE/DL). Quicklybuilding trust among theveterans who have en-dured multiple coachingchanges in their time atBellevue was critical.

“They seem to have

warmed to me and I tothem,” said McMillen.“They are working hardand have been very re-sponsive to what we’redoing here.”

The Tigers have morethan 40 players on theroster, a significant in-crease over last year’s 28.Bellevue will field fresh-men and junior varsityteams this year to givethose younger playersmore game experience.At all levels, the coachingstaff will keep theschemes simple and letthe players loose to playwith aggression. Long-time Tigers supportersshould like watching thissquad.

“We’re going to line upand try to be physical. It

will look like Bellevueteams of old,” saidMcMillen. “Bellevue is aspecial place with a greattradition. I am honored tobe a part of the traditionby serving as the headcoach.”

Last season, Highlands wasnot playing its best football untilNovember. This year, the de-fending Class 4A state champi-ons should start much faster, ascary thought for NorthernKentucky opponents.

Brian Weinrich and his staffknew they would need sometime to get the Bluebirds up tospeed in his first season as headcoach. Every coach was leadinga different position group ortaking on a new responsibilityin 2014. This August feels verydifferent.

“We’re light years ahead ofwhere we were at this time lastyear,” said Weinrich. “Last year,every coach was doing some-thing he had never done before.Our coaches have gained a yearof experience, too.”

Not much has changed on thefield, either. The Bluebirds re-turn an experienced offensiveline led by Bo Hebel, Evan Rich-ardson, and Carson Haas. Run-ning back Nick Kendall is back,as are receivers Mitchell Cain,Chandler New, and Eric Miller.Six-foot-five, 225-pound seniorAustin Hergott takes over atquarterback. The strong-armedHergott will not try to be High-lands quarterbacks of the past,but will try to add his own lega-cy to the program’s storiedquarterback tradition.

“We tell him ‘You’re not any-body else. You’re you. Play toyour strengths,’ ” said Wein-rich. “He has an absolute can-non.”

The defense will be led bylineman Tyler Robinson and de-fensive back Austin Beal. LukeLindeman, Joe Dressman, andConner Welsch will step intolinebacker roles.

Camp practices haveseemed to go much faster thanthey did a year ago. The Blue-birds know the terminology andknow what plays to make. Therewill be less thinking and morereacting from the first snap ofthe season in 2015.

“Our biggest strength is theknowledge we have comparedto last year,” said Weinrich.“We’re trying to pick up wherewe left off last year.”

Dayton High School isseeking its second win-ning season in the past 15years. The Greendevilswill again field a youngteam, but will enjoy moredepth than in years past.

The roster has in-creased to 32 playersfrom last season’s 24. De-spite their youth – justfive seniors and eight ju-niors – the Greendevilsfield an experiencedsquad. Seven starters re-turn on each side of theball.

“Our strength is we re-turn 14 starters,” saidhead coach Chad Mont-gomery. “We have a pret-ty good idea of what

we’re doing as far as theoffense and defense.”

Offensive linemanCarl Matthews is theleader of the offense. Al-though just a junior, Mat-thews is a three yearstarter and is the pro-gram’s leader both on andoff the field. He anchorsa position group that willbe critical to the team’ssuccess in 2015.

“We have to stayhealthy and our offensiveline has to finally get thejob done week in andweek out,” said Montgo-mery.

Running behind thatoffensive line is sopho-more Seth Chinn. TheGreendevils hope thatthe line opens up holes toallow Chinn to have a

breakout season. Severalsophomores will contrib-ute, but Dayton will nothave to rely solely on un-derclassmen. Montgo-mery welcomes thatchange and expects theexperienced juniors andseniors to carry the team

this year. A winning season is

the goal, said Montgome-ry, but ultimately theGreendevils want to hosta Class 1A playoff gamethis season. It would bethe team’s first homeplayoff game since 2007.

The defense will beboosted by junior line-backer Tanner Hamiltonand junior defensive line-man Trae Johnson. John-son is a 6-foot-5, 300-pound lineman whomoved to Campbell Coun-ty during the 2014-15school year.

The offensive weaponssurrounding Plessingershould make a difference

What began as phonecalls to a few consumersfrom people pretendingto be with the InternalRevenue Service seekingmoney has ballooned into

a massive fraudwith more than4,000 victims.

The IRS saysnew variations ofthese tax scamsare prompting theagency to issue anew consumeralert. Victimshave reportedlosing more than $20million in the past threeyears as a result of thesescams.

Scammers are stillposing as IRS agents andtargeting the most vul-nerable Americans, suchas older people and new-ly arrived immigrants.Now, the IRS says, thesescammers have expand-ed their net and are tar-geting anyone.

IRS CommissionerJohn Koskinen says,“Scam artists specialize

in being deceptiveand fooling people.The IRS urgestaxpayers to beextra cautious andthink twice beforeanswering suspi-cious phone calls,emails or letters.”

The IRS saysbrazen scammers

are known to have pro-vided victims with direc-tions to the nearest bankor business where thevictim can get money ora debit card. The mostcommon theme withthese tricks seems to befear. They tell the victimhe or she owes back tax-es and the money needsto be paid immediatelyover the phone by debitcard.

To put a scare intopeople they often angrilythreaten police are on the

way to arrest them. Theymay also leave urgentcallback requests threat-ening deportation, li-cense revocation or otherserious consequences.

Emails sent to victimsoften contain a fake IRSdocument with a phonenumber and email ad-dress for the reply. If youreceive such a letterremember the IRS web-site is IRS.Gov. Don’t beconfused with .com, .org.or other designationsother than .gov.
