ERLANGER St. Henry District HighSchool is known for dominating crosscountry in the fall.

While those runners are able to moveto the longest races during spring trackseason, theycant scoreenoughpointsbythemselves to lead a team to the highestoverall success.

This spring, the distance runners hadplenty of help as the Crusaders excelledin every discipline during track season.The Cru had several stars as the girlsteam rolled to the Class 1A team statechampionship May 18 in Louisville. St.Henry scored 131 points, which is thehighest team score in state history thathead coach Tony Harden has seen in hisresearch.

We had a very solid season, he said.Starting in indoor, we knew we had agood team coming back and we pickedup some new talent. I knew we had thepotential. We had a very good regionaland scored 201 points, which is the mostweve ever scored. They really steppedup. They had a great regional and theywent down to state and did even better.

Leading the charge was the sprintcrew, as St. Henry had possibly itsstrongest group of all-time, according toHarden.

Junior Madison Culbertson stole theshowat state,winning the100 and finish-ing second in the200. She ran leadoff forthe 4x100 and 4x200 relay teams whichwon state championships, the 4x100 in a1A state record 49.75 seconds.

Culbertson learned from her sisterSully, who graduated last year.

Sully was our main sprinter andMadison had a very solid season for us,and this year she came in and was aworkhorse, Harden said. She did thelittle things inpracticeanddida lotofex-tra things. Shes the fastest girl to comeintoSt.Henry.Bothrelayssetschoolrec-ords and the other girls contributed.Theyre the best sprints Ive evercoached.

Senior Laura Felix anchored both ofthose relays and led off the Crus staterunner-up finishing in the 4x400. Sheadded an individual medal by finishingfourth in the pole vault to end the daywith the maximum four.

Sophomore Jordan Miller also wonfour medals, running on three of the re-lays including two of the victors, andplacing fifth in the 200.

Junior Lauren Cahill had three relaymedals.HollyBlades, CathyHolt andTi-na Felix had one each.

Meghan Burke and Celia Eltzrothpaced the field events, combining forfive of the Crusaders 18 individual statemedals, not counting relays. Burke wassecond in the100-meter hurdles, third inthe triple jump and fourth in the longjump.Eltzrothwas second in triple jumpand third in 100 hurdles.

Naturally, the distance crew chippedin plenty of points, led by sophomoreSamHentz, who won themaximum fourmedals. Hentz, last falls regional cham-pion in cross country, was fourth in the1,600 and 3,200, then added a rare combi-nation by finishing fifth in high jump.She also ran on St.Henrys state champi-on 4x800 relay.

Taylor Connett, regional runner-up incross country and seventh in the state,was third in the 800 and fifth in the1,600while anchoring the 4x800. Renee Svecwas fifth in the 3,200.

St. Henry also had individual medalsfromJanelleTobler (eighth inhighjump,McKenzieOverwein (sixth in pole vault)and Kathy Munzer (seventh in longjump).

We had two people place in severalevents, Harden said. We had a verywell-rounded team. We scored in 14 ofthe 18 events at the state meet and whenyou do that, youre going to place high.This year we really had the jumps andthe sprints and everybodydid their job.

Out of all the state qualifiers, therearethreeseniors:Burke,LauraFelixandOverwein.

Kicking the can downthe road

They are at it again. TheKentucky legislators arekicking the can down thestreet one more time, notpaying their bills on time. Iwas outraged thisweekwhenI learned the Kentucky Per-sonnel Secretary sent anemail to state governmentemployees telling them theirpaychecks due on June 30,2013,will be held over til July1.

Nowdont getmewrong, aone-day delay is no big dealin the grand scheme ofthings. But what it does is al-low the state to end the fiscalyear with a larger cash bal-ance so the governor and leg-islators can run around tell-ing people what a great jobthey are doing. All they arereally doing is trying to pullanother one over on the peo-ple of Kentucky.

In his multi-page diatribethe personnel secretary wasquick to point the finger ofblame, saying the legislaturemandated the delay. Butyou can bet the governor andhis minions will all be brag-ging how much money theyhad left in the bank at the endof the year.

Frankfort has become acity of one scam on the peo-ple after another.

It is also worth noting thememo tells employees if theyneed to borrow money tomake it to payday they cancontact the CommonwealthCredit Union, among others.I wonder how many peopleunderstand that the employ-ees of Commonwealth CreditUnion are among the quasigovernmental agencieswhose employees are part ofthe nearly bankrupt state re-tirement system? Does any-one really believe the em-ployees of the credit union, afederally insured financialinstitution, chartered by theKentucky Department ofBanking just like any otherbank, are public employeesand should be part of thestate system?

Call your legislator andask them why they didntdeal with these quasi agen-cies and legislative goldenparachutes during theirmuch ballyhooed landmarkreform.

ItsMay andKentuckianseverywhere are celebratingthe return of spring and beauti-ful weather in the BluegrassState.

Kentucky hasmuch to beproud of, especially when itcomes to natural beauty andthe outdoors.When travelersfrom other parts of the UnitedStates and other countries visit,they often tell us how luckyweare to live here.

I want to call attention to oneof those wonderful places inKentucky: Lake Cumberland.

In 2007 the water level wasloweredwhile the U.S. ArmyCorps of Engineersmade im-portant repairs onWolf CreekDam. That complicated andchallenging engineeringworkwas necessary for public safe-ty. Thework included usingmore than 300,000 cubic yardsof concrete to form a barrierwall.

Unfortunately, the lowerwater level hurt tourism in theLake Cumberland region.

The good news is that therepairs to the dam are com-

plete and thewater level atLake Cumber-land has beenincreased by20 feet for thissummer. TheCorps plans toreturn the laketo its normallevel in 2014.

Local tour-ism officialsreport that

fishing has been great thisspring and that the news of thehigher lake level has created abuzz throughout theMidwestboating and angling communi-ty. Local businesses are opti-mistic that tourismwill pick upas the lake level goes up.

Visitation to this lake plays amajor role in the economy formany communities. Formanyfamilies around Lake Cumber-land, tourism dollars put foodon the table.

TheKentuckyDepartmentof Fish andWildlife Resourceswill stock150,000morewall-eyes and150,000more striped

bass than normal this year atLake Cumberland. Altogether,the department will add1mil-lion walleye and striped bass tothe lake this year to give fish-ing a boost.

The department also plansto jump-start the trophy troutfishery in the Lake Cumber-land tailwater by stocking10,000 trout larger than15 inch-es next winter.

Kentucky is blessedwhen itcomes to water and recreation.Kentucky has nearly 90,000miles of rivers and streams,giving the statemore flowingwater than any state other thanAlaska. There are plenty ofbeautiful lakes across the state,fromKentucky Lake in thewest to Yatesville Lake in theeast and Laurel River Lakenear London to TaylorsvilleLake, just outside of Louisville.

Thewater level at LakeCumberland isnt the only thinggoing up.

Gov. Steve Beshear and I areannouncing that tourism had aneconomic impact ofmore than$12.2 billion in Kentucky in

2012, an increase of 4.4 percentfrom the previous year. Thetourism industry was respon-sible for174,000 jobs 4,078more than the previous year.Those jobs providedmore than$2.7 billion in wages during2012, an increase of $117millionfrom 2011.

Tourism in the state alsoprovides $1.2 billion in tax rev-enues, which helps pay formany services for our citizens.

Id like to encourage you tospend some time traveling inKentucky this year, and hopeyoull consider a getaway toone of our great KentuckyState Parks, many of which arelocated on amajor lake.Wheth-er its a houseboat vacation, acamping trip to your favoritefishing spot or a visit to one ofour inviting lakeside communi-ties, I hope youwill take thetime to relax and see for your-self whywe say There is onlyoneKentucky.

Economic abuse is as per-vasive as scars and bruisescan be in domestic violencerelationships. Too often, vic-tims must choose betweenstaying with an abuser andfacing economic hardship.Survivors who escape violencemay leave with very little: nojob, no car, a damaged credithistory, or no credit history atall.

For this reason, I led a fi-nancial education workshopfor survivors at the WomensCrisis Center recently. I waseager to take an opportunity toserve my community withsupport from the AllstateFoundation. The Allstate Foun-dation partnered with theNational Network to End Do-mestic Violence in 2005 tocreate Moving Ahead ThroughFinancial Management, a fi-

nancial em-powermentcurriculumdesigned spe-cifically forsurvivors ofviolence. Ad-vocates atWCC are usingthe curriculumto help survi-vors becomeeconomically

self-sufficient.The Allstate Foundation

also has supported the eco-nomic empowerment servicesat WCC by funding a matched-savings program and a credit-building micro loan program.At WCC survivors work stepby step on a sometimes longand difficult road to healingand self-sufficiency. The pro-grams services include emer-

gency shelter, individual andgroup counseling, workingwith children who witness, andhelping survivors to achieveeconomic empowerment.

Individual DevelopmentAccounts (IDAs) are at thecore of economic empower-ment services. Survivorssavings are matched 4:1 if theychoose to save for a firsthome, postsecondary educa-tion, or to start a small busi-ness. Survivors savings arematched 1:1 if they choose tosave for a car. To date, 46 sur-vivors have finished the pro-gram at WCC. Their purchaseshave helped them begin newviolence-free lives for them-selves and their children.

While they are saving, par-ticipants are encouraged touse microloans to help thembuild their credit scores. Their

payments on the no-interest,one-year loans are reported tothe credit bureaus, and manysurvivors have increased theirscores substantially (some-times as quickly as a year)after borrowing the money.

All of these services havebeen made possible with con-tinued support from the All-state Foundation, which hasrecognized the innovativestrategies used by advocatesat WCC. I am honored to rep-resent a company committedto reducing the barriers facedby victims of domestic vio-lence. Im also honored to livein a place that has resourceslike WCC, which is making ourcommunity a better, saferplace to live.

At Children Inc., ourwork using the power ofmusic to build social andemotional skills is play forthousands of preschoolers.Over the past 20 years, Ihave been writing music forchildren. More recently, mylifes work has been af-firmed by developmentalresearch that tells us howmusic can help teach chil-dren key skills for schooland life success.

Early childhood profes-sionals share the goal thatall children, especially theleast privileged among us,have an equal chance tosucceed in school throughquality preschool experi-ences. As we work with par-ents and teachers to opti-mize a childs developmentand educational success, wewant to maximize exposureto what we know is working.

As a result of our localsuccess, I was recently hon-ored to present our work atthe 40th annual conferenceof the National Head Start

Associationin Washing-ton, D.C. TheHead StartConferencetheme, Se-curing OurSuccess:Kids Readyfor Schooland Life,has been themantra of

Children Inc. for our 35-yearhistory.

In addition to being se-lected as the musical key-note for the closing generalsession, breakout sessionsearlier in the conferencefeatured music and suppor-tive materials on hope, opti-mism, kindness, thankful-ness, curiosity, mindfulness,acceptance, empathy andresponsibility.

It might be hard to imag-ine how we teach such valu-able concepts in preschool through the power of wordsand music. Songs written inthe voice of the child be-

come fun and effective waysto make sure positive mes-sages about ones self, oth-ers and world are imprintedon the heart and mind.

As I sang I Can Do It, ICan Count on You and ICan Settle Down at theclosing session, I saw manynew friends from the earliersessions singing along. FromHawaii to Maine, from Alas-ka to Puerto Rico, we allwant the same thing thatour children, all of our chil-dren, stand on the samelevel ground, academically,socially and emotionally, theday they enter kindergarten.What we have been doinghere at Children Inc. fordecades is now being heard,through singing, around thenation and around the world.

As the temperaturesrise outside it is best tonot add an additionalcooling load inside ourhomeswhen possible.Consider the following tohelp keep your air condi-tioners fromworkingovertime this summer.

Cook and bake in theearlymorning or lateevening hours.

Use themicrowavewhen possible.

Choose to use a toasteroven if possible insteadof heating up the largeroven and thereby a largerspace.

Use the dishwasher inthe earlymorning or lateevening.When using thedishwasher avoid usingthe drying cycle.

Choose the panto fit the burneron the stove. Pansthat are under-sized for the burn-er do not allow thestove to heat effi-ciently.

Avoid preheat-ing the oven long-er than needed orat all.

Consider usingthe slow cooker or pres-sure cooker. Slow cook-ers wont heat up thehouse; pressure cookerscook foods in less timethan conventional meth-ods.

When preparing food,plan for leftovers thatcan be added to saladswithout the need for fur-ther heating or cooking.

Use the outdoor grill.All kinds of dishes can beprepared on the grillfrom entrees to sides todesserts. Grill some veg-

etables for a side.Grill peaches,pineapple, orman-gos to top frozenyogurt or add toanother dessert.

Make a stir-frydish where thefoods are cookedquickly.

Nobodywantsto spend their timein a hot kitchen

when it is hot outside.Additionally, it is not funto pay for the extra ener-gy to keep the house coolwhen it is being heatedby appliances.Makeplans now for foods yourfamily will enjoy withouthaving to heat up thehouse to prepare.
