BELLEVUE — Fairfield Ave-nue in Bellevue recently wel-comed its first-everwine tastingroom.

Generation Hill Winery,basedjustoutsideofAlexandria,opened a tasting room at 315Fairfield Ave. in early August.

“We operate a small farmwinery and have been doing fes-tivals and farmers markets tofurther our business,” ownerBill Buda said. “Wehavewantedto open a tasting room and thisspace opened so we jumped atthe chance to be in Bellevue.”

Buda and his wife Sherrystartedthevineyardin2006.Thefarmhasbeen inSherry’s familyfor several generations. “It’sbeenalotoffun,”Budasaid.“It’sinteresting to be in every aspectof thebusiness fromtheagricul-ture part and raising the grapestomaking thewine tobringing itto the consumer.”

He said the business has just“paid the bills” the last severalyears and with the new tastingroom on the Avenue, they’rehoping to increase their profit.

“We want to be a destinationthat people want to come visit,”he said. “Unlike the typical win-eryoutinthecountry,we’reinanarea where there’s much to do,like visiting the shops in Belle-vue, Newport on the Levee, andthe Cincinnati Riverfront isclose by.”

Bellevue Assistant City Ad-ministrator Jody Robinson saidthis is thefirstwinetastingroomthecityhashosted.She’sexcitedabout the new offering.

“Generation Hill Winerytakes the ‘shop local’ mantra se-riously,” she said. “Not only arethey a small, independentlyowned business, but Bill andSherry are alsomaking thewinehere in Campbell County.”

Epic sword battles do notgenerally happen on a collegecampus.

But on the Griffin Hall lawnat Northern Kentucky Univer-sity, a group of young womenand men gather weekly to dobattle. Swords and shieldsclashwithmoreofa thwopthanthe classic ring youmight hearin actual battle. Here, theweapons are made of foam.

Freshman media informat-ics major Ryan Kellam, alongwith his high school friend Ja-red Koshiol, began the NKUDagorhir club in March. Da-gorhir is a form of live-actionrole-playing (LARPing) that iscenteredontheathleticismandsportof theactions, rather thanthe character and costume de-velopment often associatedwith traditional LARPing prac-tices.

“A lot would consider itLARP, but it’s not so much, be-cause LARP is based more onthe character you create ver-sus your personal ability,” Kel-lam said.

He describes it as a full-con-tact sport. “It’s a great way toget your cardio out for theweek if you’re a person whodoesn’t like running,” he said.“You won’t even notice howmuch you’re running arounduntil you’ve put the sworddown.”

Exercise isn’t the only bene-fit to joining the club. Kellamsaid he believes it’s also a funway to meet new people andmake new friends. “It’s just agreat way to get out and have alot of funandmeeta lot ofgreatnew people,” he said.

As with any student organi-zation, the Dagorhir club start-ed small last spring but has al-ready begun to grow. Kellamcredits a lot of the increase inmembership to simple word ofmouth. As people walk pasttheir epic battles, they oftenask questions about the activ-ity. Some join in right on thespot.

Steven Middlemas, a seniorEnglish and creative writingmajor, was an early member.Middlemas said he likes theidea of the Dagorhir world be-yond NKU’s campus. He hopesto get involved one day on abroader scale.

The NKU group is titled theVanaheimr chapter, which is aplace in Norse mythology

where gods adventured toachieve high intelligence andomnipotence, according toKel-lam. He said he believed thename was appropriate for thestudent body of Norse Nation.

The NKU chapter is one ofthe region’s only organizedchapters; and he says that Va-naheimr’sRebeckaAten is con-sidered by most to be the best

female Dagorhir fighter in theTristate.

Kellam said that the re-sponse from the NKU commu-nity and campus has been in-credibly positive. During thesummer, they’ve been busyrecruiting new freshmen tojoin the club and honing theirownskills inpreparationforfu-ture battles.

A publication of

July 9 marked an importantstep forward for workforcedevelopment.

In an increasingly rare bi-cameral, bipartisan display ofcollaboration from Congress,the Workforce Investment andOpportunity Act (WIOA)passed both chambers andreauthorized the nation’s larg-est single source of federalfunding for workforce devel-opment efforts. It was sub-sequently signed into law byPresident Barack Obama onJuly 22.

Originally passed in 1998,the Workforce Investment Actestablished the One-Stop cen-ter system. This national net-work is administered locallyand tailored to meet state andregional needs. However, theprogram expired in 2013 andhas been due for reauthoriza-tion ever since. With 4,811 jobopenings in the eight-countyregion of Northern Kentuckyas of July 10, workforce devel-opment programs are essentialto our success.

TheWIOA authorization

includes a number of greatchanges and will help ImpactNKY, the 501(c)(3) affiliate ofthe Northern Kentucky Cham-ber, to accelerate its Work-force Development efforts inthe areas of advocacy, increas-ing the skilled talent pipelineand data collection.

Here are highlights of a fewof the changes:

» State and Local Plans:WIOA requires a single statestrategic plan that covers all ofthe key programs included inthe bill. The plan will provideoverall strategy for workforcedevelopment while detailinghow the strategy will meet

identified skill needs for work-ers, job seekers, and employ-ers. In turn, local plans will bealigned with the strategy out-lined in the state plan and de-scribe how local services willbe designed to meet regionalneeds.

» Performancemeasures:WIOA creates a single set ofcommonmeasures for adultsacross all core programs. Thisincludes training, adult educa-tion programs, and a variancefor all youth programs. Adultmetrics include: employmentrate, employment retentionrate, median earnings, creden-tial rate, measurable job skillsand a new employer engage-ment measure.

Through a combination ofupdating existing metrics andadding new ones, the processadds more accountability tothe program. The changescould have a strong impact oncreating an employer-centricapproach that ensures employ-er needs are being met.

» One-Stop centers:WIOArequires state boards to create

criteria for local boards toevaluate effectiveness, acces-sibly and improvement of One-Stop centers every three years.

» Employment and Train-ing Activities:WIOA also in-dicates an interest in seeing anumber of existing best prac-tices adopted or expanded.These include: career path-ways, industry or sector part-nerships, and an increasedfocus on the attainment ofindustry-recognized certif-icates and credentials linked toin-demand occupations.

Fortunately, the NorthernKentuckyWorkforce Invest-ment Board (NKWIB) hasalready implemented thesebest practices. The NKWIBidentified advanced manu-facturing, energy, health care,information technology, logis-tics/transportation and ser-vices as the in-demand careersfor our region.

The NKWIB’s One Stop/Career Center system operatesaccording to these recognizedsectors by providing careerpathway services leading to

industry-recognized certif-icates and credentials. Bypartnering with industry pro-fessionals in these key indus-tries as well as educationalinstitutions, our region hasalready adopted this approach.

Workforce availability andquality will be the drivingfactor in economic prosperity.We want to applaud those inWashington who came togetherto offer added predictabilityand accountability to the feder-al programwhile still main-taining local control. By allow-ing us to focus on the sectorsthat most impact the NorthernKentucky region and puttingemployer needs at the fore-front, we will be able to getmore people the training theyneed for viable, well-payingjobs.

Aug. 14 questionDo you think there is too

much, or not enough, govern-ment involvement in schools?Where do you see it?

“I do not think there is toomuch government involvementin schools. However I wouldprefer more government mon-ey and less overlap (overhead).We have federal, state and localschool district involvement.The use of property tax fundingfor school levies was first ruledunconstitutional by the OhioState’s Supreme Court over 15years ago. Levies are failing ev-

erywhere in Ohio. Yet no alter-native has been put in place. Gofigure!”

T.D.T.

“Don’t you think there is fartoo much government involve-ment in our schools? I certainlydo. Local school boards, localschool management teams, lo-cal teachers and most impor-tantly local parents (OKmost ofthem, not all) know best what isneeded in our local schools solet’s eliminate all federal inter-vention and a lot of the state in-tervention too.Whilewe’re at it,let’s eliminate the tenure sys-tem, but that’s anotherwhole is-sue.

“NoStudent LeftBehindwasand remains one of the most ill-conceived programs for

schools and has gravely injuredthe overall level and quality ofactual educating in our schools.Due to the gross over-reach ofgovernment involvement, ourteachers spend far too muchtime ‘teaching to the test’ ratherthan teaching our kids how tolearn and more importantly,how to have a desire to questionand learn.

“Michelle Obama’s attemptto force healthy foods in schoollunches has increased theamount of wasted food becausekids simply won’t eat it andsome school systems are pass-ing on the federal money pro-

vided for food programs be-cause of it.Get out, governmentinterference in our schools! Wedon’t need you.”

“I think Common Coreshould answer that question.”

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONShould schools continue toteach cursive writing? Why orwhy not?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers to [email protected] with Ch@troomin the subject line.

People inour communi-tymay knowme as the guywho does LegoTown or theguywho doesprograms onElvis Presleyat nursinghomes. I amthat guy. Butwhat theydon’t know is I

am also someonewho strug-gles with clinical depression.

The suicide of RobinWil-liams has brought a surge ofattention on depression. Peopleare confused about how some-onewho has somuch going forhim andwho seems to have joyflow fromhim likewater froma fountain could not find thewill to live. It’s hard for peoplewho have never experienced itto understand. As someonewho has experienced it, I wantto tell you that it can be evenmore confusing to us. I have anamazing family, a job I love,andwonderful opportunities toservemy community. I amoutgoing, confident, fun-lov-ing, and often the life of theparty. And a fewweeks ago,my doctor and Iwere trying tofigure out why Iwas constant-ly crying and strugglingwiththewill to live. RobinWilliams

was a very giving person. Hewas a dedicatedUSO volunteerandworked hard for severalcharities. I hope in death hecan provide onemore valuableservice to theworld. I hope hisdeathwill helpmove us signifi-cantly forward in being openabout depression.

I have struggledwith de-pression formore than 30years, but only in the pastcouple of years have I openedup to people beyondmy imme-diate family. It’s time. It’s timefor us to see depression forwhat it is – an illness. It is anillness that is as real as asthmaor arthritis or any other.

Andmost importantly, it isan illness that can be treated.

I have had others come tome and say they think theymay be suffering fromdepres-sion, but they are not sure,which in turnmakes themreluctant to seek help. I alwaystell them the same thing – seekhelp! Depression, like otherillnesses, takesmany forms.And by seeking help, you haveeverything to gain and nothingto lose. Furthermore, counsel-ing is not just for people withdepression, anxiety or othermental illnesses.

GeneralHenry Heth(pronounced“heath”) madea big splash inlocal history in1862. Who washe?

From an oldVirginia fam-ily, Heth wasborn at Black-heath in Ches-

terfield County, Virginia. Hegraduated fromWest Point inthe class of 1847. During theCivil War, Heth went south andbecame a major general.

Heth resigned in 1861 andjoined the Confederate Army.He was something of a pet of

General Robert E. Lee’s. Later,posted to General Kirby-Smith’s army in Tennessee,Heth took part in the 1862 in-vasion of Kentucky.

When the Battle of Rich-mond (Kentucky) was fought,the result was a decisive vic-tory for the southern forces.Kirby-Smith next entered Lex-ington, which the Union hadabandoned. General Heth ob-tained permission to take some4,000 men and artillery andmake a demonstration againstNorthern Kentucky/Cincinnati.

After a bit of skirmishing,Heth was recalled by Kirby-Smith and the troops laterfought at the battle of Perry-ville, Kentucky, where the

Confederates tactically won,but withdrew from the state.They could enter Kentucky,pillage it for horses, provisionsand recruits, but they could nothold the state. Heth’s troopsstarted the Battle of Gettys-burg. Severely wounded, Hethfought in subsequent battles ofthe war. After the war hehelped gather information forthe Official Records of the Warof the Rebellion.

For those ofyou who arecollege-boundhigh schoolseniors, Aug. 1is a big deal.Why, becausethis is the firstday studentscan start fill-ing out theCommon Ap-plication used

by over 500 colleges. In addi-tion, many other colleges openup their applications aswell. Sowhen should a student submithis or her application? As soon

as possible. Procrastinationwill hurt you in this process.This isespecially true ifyouarehoping to get admitted into acompetitive college (Ivy or se-lectivepublic) or get picked fora super duper selective schol-arship.Youneed tobe at the topof the pile when they are mak-ing their decisions and selec-tions, not the bottom.

There are, however, a fewitems that a student must com-plete or gather before submit-ting most applications: essays,letters of recommendation,transcripts, etc. If you haven’talready done so,make it a point

today to start working on yourcommon app essays (hint: theprompts are the same as lastyear).Themore timeyouspendon making your essay unique,the better. Send an email to theterrific teachers who you hopewill write a great letter for youas soon as possible. Provide heror him with a resume. Finally,as soon as school starts, go toyour guidance counselor andgive them a list of your finalcollege list.

ALEXANDRIARECORDEREditor: Melanie Laughman, [email protected], 513-248-7573

ALEXANDRIA—Itwillbedif-ficult for Campbell CountyHigh School’s football team toreplicate the success of 2013,but 29 seniors will give theCamels a chance to advanceeven further in the playoffs.The Camels enter this season

with confidenceand an edge thatis becoming thenorm for a pro-gram that isready to take thenext step.

“We’re tiredof losing in thesecond round ofthe playoffs,”

said head coach Stephen Lick-ert. “Ourkidsareantsytomakesure that doesn’t happen any-more. We’re doing everythingin our power to get over thathump.”

An offensive line that re-turnsfourstartersandasenior-laden defense will lead theCamels in 2014. Senior linemenJordan Mason, Alex Kaufman,and Josh Griffith lead the wayfor the offense. LinebackersNickSauerbeck,AustinMyers,and Brandon Oldendick, line-men Robert Metz, AmmarBayarri, and Christian Vargas,and outside safetyKyleEdgleykey the defense. There are bigshoes to fill at some importantpositions, but the team hascome together to make surethat the program continuestrending in the right direction.

“We lost some really goodfootball players, but we’re aprogram,” said Lickert. “We’ve

gotten to a point where if a guygraduates, the next guy in lineis ready to step up.”

The biggest question markentering the season is at quar-terback, where former line-backer Carson Plessinger iscompetingwith free safety andreturn specialist Eli Matthewsfor the starting job. Matthewsis a more dangerous running

threat, but bothbring strongqualities to theoffense.

“It will comedown towhowillhelp us the mostand what’s bestfor our team,”said Lickert.

With 29 seniors, this offsea-son was spent refiningschemes on both sides of theball. Most importantly, the en-tire teamhas been dedicated togetting better each day.

“We’re working on intrica-cies, the stuff we couldn’t real-ly dive into before. The kidsknow our system and under-stand our expectations,” saidLickert. “We don’t have tocoach effort, ever. Our seniorslead by example. Our kidscoach each other. It’s a reallyfun culture to be around rightnow.”

The Camels open the seasonon Aug. 22 at East Central(Ind.).

ALEXANDRIA — The offsea-son turmoil has finally settledand Bishop Brossart is readyandeager to begin the 2014 foot-ball season. After a slew ofcoaching changes and ques-tions regarding the immediatefuture of the program, few pro-grams were as excited to beginAugust practice as the Mus-tangs.

The players who have com-mitted to helpBrossart throughhead coach Paul Wiggins’s firstseason know that they maystruggle to win games, but real-ize that they are playing thisyear to set a building block forfuture Mustangs.

“They’ve totally bought intothe fact that we have a chal-lenge ahead of us,” Wigginssaid. “The players have em-braced that, at times; it’s goingto be an uphill battle.”

Senior captain JustinSchack, a linebacker and offen-sive lineman, has been provid-ing leadership to steady thepro-gram through this turbulenttransition.He is one of the play-ersWigginscoachedasamiddleschooler, and who is embracingthe new coaching staff.

“He has been the catalyst,”said Wiggins. “He is makingsure the guys are focused.”

Junior defensive back/run-ning back/wide receiver CraigPfefferman is another of theMustangs’ most experiencedplayers and another playerwhowaspreviouslycoachedbyWig-gins as a youngster.

The Mustangs will also relyon some inexperienced seniorswho have not played football ina couple of years. The offensiveand defensive lines will relyheavily on playerswith very lit-tle experience at those posi-tions.

“The biggest question is howwill guys who haven’t played

since middle school adapt tovarsity play,” saidWiggins. “Wedon’thavea lotofsize,butwe’vegot some quickness.”

The spread offensewill go asfar as senior quarterback ClayKramer can carry it. The de-fensewill bebased out of a four-man front. The players whohave stuck with the programare committed to doing what-ever they can to improve theprogram.

“We’ve got guys who want toplay both ways and on everyspecial team,” said Wiggins.“We’re hoping these youngerguys embrace Brossart foot-ball.They’rebustingtheir tail toshow people that Brossart foot-ball is still on the map.”

The Mustangs open the sea-son on Aug. 22 at Dayton.

NEWPORT — NewportCentral Catholic entersthe 2014 football seasonwith sights set on return-ing to theClass 2Astate ti-tle game for the thirdstraight season. First, the2012 champions and 2013runners-up must answeran important question atthe quarterback position.

Three players enteredcamp battling it out forthe starting job. SeniorGrant Schilling, juniorErik Anderson, and soph-omore Patrick Henschen

were evenly matchedthrough early August.The quarterbacks sharesimilar builds andstrengths and each is aprototypical pocket pass-er. Schilling and Ander-son stand 6-foot-2, whilethe younger Henschenhas a two-inch height ad-vantage.

“It’s a pretty even com-petition right now,” saidhead coach DanWagner.

Whoever earns thestarting nodwill enjoy be-ingprotectedbyseniorof-fensive linemen ColinHooverandJakeWieland.The two-way linemen will

alsoanchor theThorough-breds defensive front.

Senior running backand safety Brandon Graywill also provide leader-ship on both sides of the

ball. Last year, the ‘Bredsrelied on several under-classmen to contribute.Now, thoseplayersareex-pected to put togetherwhat they learned lastseason and go from wide-eyed youngsters to veter-an leaders.

“We have experience,”said Wagner. “A lot ofyoung players played sig-nificant minutes lastyear.”

Running back JacobSmith and wide receiver/defensive back Nate En-slen are expected to havebreakout seasons. Theone-two punch of Gray

andSmith in the offensivebackfield will help takepressure off of the newstarting quarterback.

While the Thorough-bredswill still relyonsev-eral players to start onboth sides of the ball, theywill enjoymore depth thisseason. That depth andthe veteran leadershipshould carry NewCath onanother fruitful postsea-son run.

“(Our strengths willbe) our depth, attitude,and willingness to work,”Wagner said. “We want tomake a deep, deep run inthe playoffs.”

If you could see myherb garden and countthe number of varietiesof basil, you’d need morethan 10 fingers. I lovethem all, but when itcomes to making pesto, Iuse the sweet green,common basil or its cous-in, Genovese.

This is the time ofyear to make pesto, whenbasil is abundant. Therecipe I’m sharing is athicker pesto meant tofreeze well and is the oneI’ve been getting re-quests for.

The question I getasked most is if nuts areessential. No, and wal-nuts make a good sub-stitute for pine nuts. Ihave a reader who makesit with almonds, as well.

Should you add garlicbefore freezing? I addboth nuts and garlic tomy pesto prior to freez-ing, but some food ex-perts leave them outsince, in their opinion,these items turn strongin the freezer. They addthem to the thawed pesto.

I use my food proces-sor, but you could use ablender or make this byhand. Add more oil afterthawing, if you like. Adda little water when usingit to coat pasta.

Rita’s freezer pesto1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons

garlic, minced1/4 cup pine nuts,

toasted if desired1/2 stick unsalted but-

ter (optional but good)Generous handful

parsley leaves

4 gener-ous cupsbasilleaves,packed

1-1/4cups Par-mesancheese orto taste

1/4 cupRomano

cheese1/2 to 3/4 cup extra

virgin olive oilGenerous squeeze of

lemon juiceWith processor’s mo-

tor running, add garlicand nuts. Add everythingelse and using the pulsebutton, pulse until justmixed, then pour intocontainers and freeze.

Tip fromRita’s kitchen:

Why does my pestoturn dark?

Sometimes the toplayer of my pesto turns abit dark in the freezer.That doesn’t bother me,but here are some ideasthat may alleviate theproblem. I’ve tried themall and sometimes theywork, and sometimesthey don’t. But the dark-er color is only on the topand doesn’t affect qualityor taste.

» Basil oxidizes/turnsdark rapidly when leavesare cut up either toofinely and/or exposed toair, so use the pulse but-ton to mix. That alsoalleviates heat whileprocessing, which canturn the basil dark.

» Blanch the basil

leaves to keep themgreen.

» Add parsley andlemon juice to keep thegreen color.

» Pouring a thin filmof oil over the top beforestoring may keep air out.

Health benefitsof basil:Besides containing

iron, calcium and vitaminA, this member of themint family also containsnutrients that improveblood flow and help stopcholesterol from oxidiz-ing in the blood stream. Abasil steam facial iscleansing and calming.

Fruited gluten-freebaked oatmeal

Baked oatmeal is thenewest trend for break-fast, or really any meal.

Reader Michelle fromWhite Oak shared thiswhich she tore out of anewspaper in the doctor’soffice. I told her she’s notalone. I have to admitthat I’ve guiltily andhopefully secretly donethat myself. Here’s myadaptation.

NOTICEPlease take notice that Duke Energy Kentucky, Inc. has applied to the Kentucky Public Service Commission for approval torevise its Demand Side Management (DSM) rate for electric service and gas service for residential and commercial customersand add new products for its DSM program available to customers. Duke Energy Kentucky’s current monthly DSM rate forresidential gas customers is $0.054918 per hundred cubic feet (ccf) and for non-residential gas customers is $0.000000 perhundred cubic feet.

Due to the weather ittook a while for tomatoesto ripen this year. Now,

however,they maybe produc-ing fasterthan youcan usethemfresh.Considerfreezingthem foruse later inthe year.

Frozentomatoes can be used insoups, stews, casserolesand other cooked dishes.The flavor will beat anycommercial canned to-mato you might typicallyuse.

Tomatoes do not haveto be blanched beforefreezing. You may chooseto peel them or not. Toprepare tomatoes for thefreezer consider howthey will be used in reci-pes; prepare and packthem accordingly.

Be sure to remove anybad spots from tomatoesbefore freezing. Thosewith portions removedshould be peeled withoutdipping in boiling water.

To easily peel whole,unblemished tomatoesbring a large pot of waterto a boil. Cut a small “x”in the bottom of eachtomato. Place the tomatoin the boiling water for 15to 45 seconds. Riper to-matoes usually peel easi-ly and may not need thehot water dip. Removethe tomatoes from the

boiling water and plungethem into cold or icewater to stop the cookingprocess. Remove themfrom the cold water andeasily slip the skin fromthe tomato.

Remove the cores andchop, dice or slice thetomatoes. Pack thepieces into freezer safecontainers leaving roomfor expansion. Label,date and place in thefreezer.

You may wish to cookyour tomatoes into athicker sauce beforefreezing. To do so, re-move the peel and core.Quarter or dice the toma-toes. Cook until soft,stirring frequently toprevent burning. Whenthe tomatoes are thedesired consistency,allow them to cool. Por-tion into freezer-safe

containers leaving roomfor expansion. Label,date and place in thefreezer.

Small cherry or grapetomatoes should bewashed and placed in afreezer-safe containerwithout peeling.

POLICE REPORTS

ABOUT POLICEREPORTSThe Community Re-corder publishes thenames of all adultscharged with offenses.The information is amatter of public rec-ord and does notimply guilt or in-nocence.

Notebooks, pencils andclothes are at the top ofmost back-to-school lists,but a comprehensive eyeexam should be includedaswell.

State law requires chil-dren ages 3 through 6 tohave a vision exam if theyare entering a publicschool or preschool pro-gram for the first time.

“Having children’seyes examined is one ofthe most important thingsparents can do to supporttheir children’s educationand good health,” said Dr.Elaine DeSario, an optom-etrist in Louisa, Ky. “Re-search shows that visionproblems are a major fac-tor in limiting children’sabilities to learn and suc-ceed.”

Up to13percent of chil-dren age 5 and youngerhave some type of visioncondition.After age5, thatnumber increases to 25percent.

“All parents shouldhave their children’s eyesexamined because manyproblemsmaynot be obvi-

ous to them or their chil-dren’s teachers,” DeSariosaid. “Young childrendon’t realize that the waytheysee theworldmaynotbe theway it should be.

“Early diagnosis andtreatmentcanpreventlossof sight from amblyopia,which is commonly calledlazyeye.Unfortunately,50percent of all cases of am-blyopia are not diagnosed

until after age 5, when it isdifficult to correct.”

Amblyopia is the lead-ing cause of vision loss inpeopleunderage40–morethan injuries or any

other disease. Howev-er, it is almost 100 percenttreatable if detected early.

DeSarioalsosaidaneyeexamination is important.

Many private insur-ance plans, Medicaid and

KCHIP cover these ex-ams.Acomprehensiveeyeexam and glasses also arean essential benefit undertheAffordable CareAct.

Inaddition,privatepro-grams are available tohelp families meet theseexpenses, suchas theKen-tuckyVisionProject.SightforStudents and theLion’sClub are other programsthat can help.
