no stranger to the Teacher of the
Year Award; he estimates that in
his eighteen years of educating
seniors, he has won the award
“ten, twelve, fourteen times.” As
the only teacher to have all the
seniors in his class during the entirety of the year he admits that he
may have an advantage; however,
he regards the numerous times in
which he has received the award
as an honor and states that, “I’d
like to convince myself that it’s
not just me, but that the course
itself is interesting and challenging enough that the seniors respect it, and they have the sense
that they’ve learned something
in my class. I hope that’s what
teacher of the year is about.” Describing his class, Coach Herts
states, “It’s senior religion, and I

Any senior at CCH can
attest to Coach Herts’s dedication to his material and to his
students, the latter more than

his immense amount of wins of
this award. The genuine compassion that he shows toward his
students as well as his devotion
to every vital task he performs
for the school truly deserve to
be recognized even though he
more than likely would not care
in the slightest if they went unnoticed, as he clearly does not do
these things for the recognition.
This compassion toward his students is seen best in the simple
words that Coach Herts left for
his graduating seniors: “Don’t

Gone All Too Fast
By: Jake Kleier
These past four years have
been the best of my life. I only wish
I could spend four more at Covington Catholic, but sadly I must move
on in my life. Freshman year I came
to Cov Cath not knowing what to
expect, but after the first month I
knew I was in the right place. On
the night of my freshman orientation, a current student told the audience that going to Cov Cath is
like celebrating Christmas every
day; and he was right. I looked forward to school every day, a feeling
I never experienced in grade school.
My time here at Cov Cath
is winding down and looking back,
it has gone by way too fast. I was

Sophomore year was about direction. I knew I needed to begin to set
an end goal for my high school career, and the result was an intense
desire to attend a United States

would consume my junior and senior years in and out of school.

Manning Pays Respects to Jeter
By: Brian Radcliff
Broncos’s
Quarterback,
Peyton Manning, was spotted and
interviewed at a home Yankees’
game last week.
When asked if there was
any special reasoning behind his attendance Manning replied, “I came
to see Derek play, Derek and I have
been friends — he’s a couple years
older than me, but we’ve been pretty much professionals at the same
time. So I wanted to pay my re-
spects and see him play for the last
time.” After the Game Peyton also

a few decades older than Manning.
Peyton also expressed his weariness
to be making these visits when he
said “I’m sad to see some of these
guys retiring. I’m not far behind.”
end. Manning is much closer to the
end of his career than the beginning.
The NBC sports reporter ended the
interview by asking Peyton when he
thinks he will call it a quits. Peyton
said, “As long as I’m still enjoying
the preparation part of it, as long as
I can still produce and help a team
— I don’t want to just be out there

Bunbury Music Festival
By: Riley Kinsella
One of the newer attractions
in the Cincinnati area is Bunbury
Music Festival, an alternative rock
music festival held at Sawyer Point
during the second weekend of July.
The festival began in 2012 and ever
since has been rising in popularity.
As one of the more zealous concert-goers, I have attended
Bunbury Music Festival along with
numerous other shows within the
Cincinnati area throughout the past
few years. I can honestly say that
Bunbury Music Festival is one of
the more enjoyable music events
that I have attended. A few of the
almost one hundred bands performing at this year’s festival include the
Flaming Lips, Fall Out Boy, Paramore, Empire of the Sun, Young
the Giant, Fitz and the Tantrums,
New Politics, and Cage the Elephant. Some of the smaller bands
that I have caught glimpses of include Robert Delonge, a solo artist
who uses a variety of different tools
(including game controllers) to create a more electronic-dance style.
Another smaller group performing
includes J Roddy Walston and the
Business, who toured with the Lumineers last spring, and have a more
jazz-style sound. Hunter Hunted,
previously known as Lady Danville,
will also be performing at Bunbury
Music Festival just after finishing
their U.S. tour with Twenty One Pilots and NONONO. Bunbury Music Festival offers more than just
music, they also promote a variety
of small businesses throughout the
Cincinnati area including Cincy
Shirts, a local t-shirt company that
sells shirts specific to Cincinnati
and Northern Kentucky culture.
I highly recommend attending Bunbury Music Festival.
Whether you enjoy the genre of
music they have to offer or not is
irrelevant. The overall environment
of the festival has to offer is unlike any other I have experienced.
Located along the Ohio River,
Bunbury Music Festival offers
people the ability to enjoy a summer filled with great performances.
Bad Seed Rising Has Room to Grow
By: Andrew Whitacre
It is amazing what kids can
accomplish these days! Bad Seed
Rising, a rock band from Maryland,
consists of kids ages 12-16. What is
more incredible is how much success they have had and how quickly
they did it. Since they started, Bad
Seed Rising has toured with big
names such as Daughtry, 3 Doors
Down and Black Veil Brides.
Bad Seed Rising consists of
13-year old Mason Gainer, 12-year
old Aiden Marceron, 15-year old
Louey Peraza and Francheska Pastor, 16. These kids stay away from
drugs and follow their dream of
rockstardom by taking advice from
and looking up to more mature
bands. One of their most impressive qualities is their ability to play
live, especially when they are so
young and performing to such large
crowds. Dave Rath from Roadrunner Records, the record company
that signed Bad Seed Rising, said
that they are one of the most talented and competent bands that he’s
seen for that age.
Bad Seed Rising released
their debut EP Charm City on April
15. Charm City is a 5 track album
consisting of songs “Bad Seed Rising”, “Hey Kid”, “Timebomb”,
“King Kong” and “Wolves at the
Door”. I think that these kids sound
like a plain and generic rock band.
They definitely have a lot to learn
musically-wise. Francheska Pastor,
the lead singer, does have a pair of
pipes on her and is a talented singer.
They have plenty of room to grow,
but with the set up and connections
they have acquired at such a young
age, they should be able to make a
big name of themselves.
No Awards for the Millers
By: Evan Braun
We’re The Millers is a crude
road-trip comedy that alternates between outrageously funny and plain
silly. It is one of the more surprising
films of the past summer because it
is funnier than what was expected.
It is definitely more entertaining
than any other similar films that
follow the same overused plot.
The film is about four lowlifes who smuggle an enormous
quantity of cannabis from Mexico
to the United States by RV. David
(Jason Sudeikis from SNL) is a
small-time drug dealer who takes
on the job to clear a debt. His grand
plan to avoid the attention of the
police and border guards is to disguise himself as a typical, happy
father with his family on vacation.
For those who are interested in seeing the movie, do not
let some bad reviews discourage
you. On the other hand, if it looks
like something you will not like,
you are probably right. Overall,
will We’re the Millers be winning
any Oscars this year? Probably
not, but I do not think anyone expected it to. If you are just looking for a funny movie to take your
mind off your troubles for a couple
of hours, this is the perfect choice.
Impacting Youth Today
By: Neal Stansel
When Miley Cyrus first hit
pop culture in 2006, she was a doeeyed 14 year old who had just joined
the Disney Empire with the release
of her hit show Hannah Montana.
Fast forward just a few short years
and add sex, drugs, and alcohol, and
you have Miley Cyrus’s career today.
Miley is currently traveling
across the country performing her
Bangerz concert tour to sold out
arenas and crowds, and, in true Miley Cyrus style, causing controversy
wherever she goes; shocker right?
Miley’s concerts consist of the usu-
ally business: swearing, twerking,
crotch grabbing, and a whole lot of
tongue. She recently had to cancel
performances in London due to an
alleged drug overdose, which she
continues to refute, saying it was
a “reaction to antibiotics for a sinus infection.” So where did Miley’s career take a turn from sweet
country pop star to an out of control
hot mess? Like all Disney Channel
stars, Miley grew out of her childhood “Hannah Montana” personae,
but people are beginning to question
if maybe Miley has taken her transformation to the extreme. When
Miley Cyrus was queen of the Disney Channel Empire, she acquired
hundreds of thousands of young
kids and fans who looked up to her,
and like all adoring fans, they never
ceased to follow her career. Now instead of looking up to a wholesome
tween-star, they are looking up to a
drug infested young adult with her
tongue out 90% of the time, and they
still idolize her; Miley is their epitome of what to be and how to act.
Now I am not judging Miley
or her career, because personally I
like her music, and she is who she
is and really does not let anyone get
in her way of doing her thing; I am
just merely suggesting that she remember the impact she has on so-
ciety and the younger generation.
One Miley Cyrus is fine, but a hundred thousand mini Miley Cyruses
is not. I do not think the world could
take more than just one of her.
Miley
Cyrus’s
album
Bangerz recently crossed the 1 million sales milestone; Bangerz features such hits as “We Can’t Stop”
and “Wrecking Ball”. I would not
suggest this album to anyone who
likes music with actually substance
and meaning, but whether someone
who is just looking to listen to some
fun party music and have a good time.

Tornados Through Central United States
By: Tommy Lawler
Entire neighborhoods were reduced to
rubble as tornados swept through the Central
United States on April 27th. The death toll now
stands at 15, with 14 of those 15 people being
killed in the state of Arkansas. According to
Brandon Morris of the Arkansas Department
of Emergency Management, one trail of storm
damage stretched on for 30 miles. “Some homes
have been completely destroyed, some have
severe damage, we have power lines and trees
down in those counties, as well,” said Morris.
Dan Morgan, Ottawa County Emergency Management director, described some
of the damage in the town of Quapaw. “It looks
like about half the town got extensive damage,” exclaimed Morgan. Multiple tornados
touched down throughout the states of Arkansas, Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri. Although
the devastation was tremendous, many efforts
have already begun in order to help this region
of the United States recover. Organizations
such as the Red Cross have already begun to
send aid to these states. This aid comes in the
form of not only supplies to support the residents in affected areas, but also in the form of
volunteers who will help to clean up the mess.
Chicago Art Trip
By: Garrett D. Atchison
Early May, Mr. Haders took a group
of Covington Catholic students on an art trip
to Chicago. The students were only in Chicago
for two days so they had to do everything that
they wanted to do in a short amount of time.
When the group arrived in Chicago
they went see a baseball game where the Chicago Cubs faced off against the St. Louis Cardinals and won; the students also received
Fedora hats at the game. After the game the stu

great time at the Second City Comedy Show
where Adam Holstein-Seibert got roasted by
the comedian. After the show the students enjoyed a couple games of Ultimate Frisbee.
The following day the group saw a
couple of art museums where they observed
the art from several different artists. Needless to say, it looks like all of the students
had an excellent time on the Chicago art trip.

JV Baseball
By: Tyler O’Connell
The JV baseball Colonels continued their
excellence with their second win against Connor
in less than a week. The Colonels already have
wins against Connor, Simon Kenton, Highlands,
and Newcath in May, improving their overall record to 18-4. Standout players for the JV squad
include Decker Schwartz, Cameron Pitzer, Robert Young, and Ryan McGuiness. They may not
be playing quite as impressively as the varsity
but they certainly show a lot of potential which
bodes well for the future of the baseball squad.
The offensive showing of the JV team
has been very impressive with most of their wins
being blowouts. They have also been competitive in any game they have been in, including
a tough loss to Moeller who plays division one
athletes on their JV. Playing one of the toughest JV schedules in the state will help the players develop and get them ready for varsity ball.

Track is Life
By: Bradley Couch
The Track and Field team is continuing their successful season by winning the
Regional meet on May 10. The meet was between Cov Cath and Highlands the whole
time. The Colonels proved that they were on
top though by winning the meet 123 to 109
with the Birds on the grill getting roasted.
There were numerous 1st place finishers in
the meet from Covington Catholic. This consisted
of Jake Erpenbeck in the 100 and 200 meter dash,
Sean Panoushek in the 800 meter, and the 4x100
and 4x200 meter relay teams. Also good finishers that will qualify for state are the 4x800 team
took 2nd, Andrew Biersdorfer placed 2nd in pole
vault, and Brian Menke placed 2nd in the 2 mile.
The Track Team is looking to run Lexington like the basketball team did, and win
state on May 23. It should be a great meet
to watch, seeing as there are a few teams that
are neck and neck competing for the title.

Tennis Colonels Move Onto State
By: Keith Radcliff
The 2013-2014 school year
has seen some spectacular sports
seasons—from being State Cham-
pions in basketball to being State
Runner-ups in cross country— and
tennis is no exception. The Tennis Colonels have seen their fair
share of success and spotlight.
The Varsity

reach the finals of the tournament
and then defeated Conner as well
in order to become the 2014 Northern Kentucky Conference Champions. Moreover, through the whole
tournament the three singles players and two doubles teams never
lost a match (i.e. they won all the
matches by a score of 5-0). Also,
this past weekend, the weekend of
April 26th, the Varsity Tennis Colonels participated in the Richmond

at Eastern Kentucky University. In

the Junior Varsity Tennis Colonels
competed in the JV Regional Tournament, an event that we have won
19 years in a row; fortunately, this
year the Colonels brought home the
20th straight win. They dominated
the rest of the competition; Covington Catholic held 3 of the 4 semifinalists in the singles tournament
and 3 of the 4 semifinalist teams in
the doubles tournament. Moreover,
the finals of both tournaments consisted of all Cov Cath players. The
singles tournament finals consisted
of Kyle Hennies and Blake Heimbrock, with Blake pulling out the
win and becoming the JV Regional

tournament finals consisted of Will
Neltner and Evan Wall competing
against Grant Woodcock and Jared
