Walton-Verona, Ryle wrestlers win state titles James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

LEXINGTON – Spencer Moore and Daulton Mayer are like coaches for the Walton-Verona wrestling team according to head coach John Roth.

The pair brought home A+ grades for their teaching Saturday at Alltech Arena, winning state championships at the KHSAA state championship meet.

Mayer, a senior, won the 195-pound championship, and Moore won at 106.

“Daulton has been a leader all year,” Roth said. “As an athlete, I wish I had 20 of him. As a human being, I wish I had 60 of him. He’s a great character, who he is, how he represents himself.

“Spencer is like having another coach. I’ve let him dictate our lineup before and it’s worked out for us. He’s a smart individual. Every time I asked him to step up, he did.”

Both Bearcats had dominant seasons. Moore, a sophomore, finished 48-0, with roughly half of those matches at higher weights, according to Roth.

Moore won all five matches in the state tournament by pin in the first period, winning the KHSAA trophy given out for that kind of dominance. He had five pins in 6 minutes flat.

“It’s cool to finally get to do this. I got second last year and it’s good to get the win,” Moore said. “A lot of hard work over the summer, preparing every day to get back here. Me and Daulton have been wrestling together since elementary school and we’ve been trying to get this goal since the beginning.”

Mayer, a senior headed to wrestle for Thomas More, barely lost out to Moore for the quickest pins trophy, winning all

five of his matches by pin, totaling 6 minutes, 17 seconds. He defeated regional rival Cooper Elliston of Conner in the final, getting a pin 34 seconds into the match.

“It’s great,” Mayer said. “We’ll put our name on the big board and in the trophy case. It’s awesome to be a part of the great teams at Walton-Verona.

There’s nothing like wrestling. You can put other sports up against it, there’s nothing like it. It’s the hardest sport there is.”

Mayer and Moore bring the number of all-time state championships for the Bearcats to seven, from six different individuals.

Elliston had been ranked 14th in the state heading into the tournament before posting two one-point thrillers in the quarterfinals and semifinals.

“This is the fourth time I’ve wrestled

Cooper,” Mayer said. “I knew he’s a scrappy kid and I had to get the first takedown so I wouldn’t risk getting scrapped over. I was happy with how it went.”

WV finished fifth in the team standings, winning the small school runnerup trophy.

“It’s all them,” Roth said. “These guys put in the hard work, the time. It gives us a chance to coach. I’m proud of them.

They didn’t take anything for granted.

They always stuck together as one, and they never thought of it as one individual.”

Northern Kentucky’s third title of the night came from Ryle sophomore Cole Thomas, who defeated Grant County’s Isaac Thornton 6-2 in the championship match at 120 pounds.

What happens when religious ideology clashes with mainstream science in America? A documentary airing on PBS heads to the Ark Encounter in Northern Kentucky to find out.

“We Believe in Dinosaurs,” was released in 2019 but recently made its PBS premiere as part of ITVS’s “Independent Lens” series. The documentary was filmed over the course of four years and zeroes in on the Ark Encounter, a 510-foot replica of Noah’s Ark that’s just off Interstate 75 in Williamstown.

Filmmakers Monica Long Ross and Clayton Brown documented the Ark Encounter’s construction from its blueprints through its opening day, capturing the efforts of creationists, atheists and activists as they battle over topics like evolution and the separation of church and state.

“We Believe in Dinosaurs” is the third documentary that Ross and Brown have produced toegether for 137 Films, a Chicago-based documentary production company they founded that focuses on America’s relationship with science.

“I think it’s an important world that a lot of people I don’t think realize is there. This deep resistance to the idea of evolution on religious, moral, philosophical grounds, however you want to frame it, is driving this alternate reality,” Brown, a senior lecturer in Northwestern University’s Department of Radio, Television and Film, told The Courier Journal.

The Ark Encounter theme park is a lifesize replica of Noah’s Ark, the vessel in the Bible’s Book of Genesis flood narrative through which God spares Noah, his family and two of each of the world’s animals from a massive flood.

Thomas is a two-time state champ after winning at 106 last year.

Thomas was dominant all year, finishing an undefeated 54-0. He won his first four matches by pin before a tough match against second-ranked Thornton, who was also a state runner-up last year.

“It’s awesome,” Thomas said. “It’s my second time winning this and I’m hoping to get two more. I knew he was really good on his feet, so I minimized what he could do. I really just wrestled to my level.”

Thomas was one of six state medalists for the Raiders, who finished fourth in the state to win a team trophy. Head coach Tim Ruschell was named coach of the year.

“We have a bright future,” Thomas said. “Our team is made of sophomores. We won team duals and next year we’re aiming for the state title.”

Besides the five finalists, Northern Kentucky had 16 other state medalists for a top-eight finish. WV had four, Simon Kenton four, Conner two, Scott two and Campbell County two, while Grant had one.

The $120 million project opened to the public on July 7, 2016, with the date chosen to correspond with the seventh verse in the seventh chapter of Genesis that describes Noah and his family entering the ark.

The theme park was founded by Ken Ham, an Australian creationist who is the CEO of Answers in Genesis, a Christian ministry that operates the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum in Petersburg, about 45 miles north of the theme park.

Creationists reject the teaching of evolution and believe the Earth was created in a few days about 6,000 years ago, based on the Bible’s teachings in Genesis.

The Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter show dinosaurs and humans living alongside each other. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, dinosaurs went extinct nearly 65 million years before people appeared on Earth.

Before it even opened to the public, the Ark Encounter was subject to controversy after it won more than $18 million in state tax incentives while being built in 2014.

State officials tried to take the tax break away after learning the park would only hire Christians, but park officials sued in federal court and won.

Proponents of the separation of church and state and other critics over the years have also warned public schools of visiting the ark on field trips, pointing to Ham’s past comments on how the “the whole purpose of building these attractions was evangelistic.”

Ross, also a playwright, and Brown said they first became interested in the Ark Encounter over a decade ago when talking with experts about issues involving the teaching of creationism in schools.

Through conversations with scientists and experts from other countries, Ross said they kept hearing that the separation of church of state “is a uniquely American problem.”

The ensuing construction of the Ark Encounter gave the filmmakers the perfect place to focus on “America’s strange relationship with science” and the “conservative and liberal split in science,” Brown said.

"We Believe in Dinosaurs" is a documentary that airs Monday, Feb. 17, on PBS and focuses on the Ark Encounter theme park in Williamsburg, Kentucky, as part of the broader battle between evolutionism and creationism. PBS

Their documentary includes a subject stating how when they were younger, “science was just science, something that everybody believed and trusted,” Brown noted.

With the Ark Encounter, Brown said they noticed an intriguing story presented itself with a “religious organization creating their own alternative science in a legitimate looking museum.”

But Brown and Ross emphasized that their film is not intended to ridicule anyone but rather allow viewers to hear from all sides of the evolution debate.

Among the characters featured in the documentary is an artisan who leads a team of designers and artists that create lifelike animals for the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter, a geologist who blows the whistle on the theme park’s discriminatory hiring practices and an atheist activist who leads a protest outside of the Ark Encounter on its opening day.

“It’s a rich story. We never wanted to make fun of anyone,” Ross said. “It has the politics...the people for and against it and working hard in both areas. We certainly kept (the documentary) in Kentucky. It echoes the political divides we have as well.”

Brown added that the documentary focuses on issues of science and religion that extend outside of Kentucky across the whole country.

“It is kind of a micro and a macro story that happens at the same time,” Brown said of “We Believe in Dinosaurs.”

Though they focused on highlighting both proponents and critics surrounding the Ark Encounter, Ross and Brown said they still hope their documentary drives home the importance of science.

The documentary closes on a clip of former U.S. energy secretary and presidential candidate Rick Perry telling a child that public schools in Texas teach both creationism and evolution, “because I think you’re smart enough to figure out what’s right.”

Brown said he thinks Perry’s comment is “sounding more and more reasonable to people,” which has broader implications for American society and culture.

“When you reduce science to a choice that seems to feel right to you, then that’s not science,” Brown said.

“Essentially, you erased science from existence. ...Science doesn’t care about belief systems. It just leads you.”

How to see ‘We Believe in Dinosaurs’ “We Believe in Dinosaurs” was scheduled to premiere Monday on PBS. Viewers can also find the documentary on PBS.org, the PBS video app as well on platforms like Amazon.com, iTunes and Google Play.

Polly found crazy trend at these Mexican restaurants Polly Campbell Columnist Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Mexican food has gotten kinda crazy around here.

Lately, I have been to Tacos Locos (crazy tacos), Mesa Loca (crazy table) and La Torta Loca (crazy Mexican sandwich). I found some crazy-good things to eat.

La Torta Loca La Torta Loca in Florence opened as a tienda 2 years ago. Karina Presti, who's from Venezuela, and her husband, Edgar De la Cruz, from Mexico, then opened as a restaurant and I'm kicking myself for not going sooner. Restaurant word-of-mouth made it popular, and it's tiny, so a friend and I had to wait 15 minutes or so at lunch. It's easy to see why it's caught on. The menu is a combination of street food from their two countries: tacos and empanadas, tortas and arepas. Karina is a born hostess, very welcoming and outgoing. And the food is generous, unpretentious and delicious.

When I say generous, I don't just mean the amount of meat you get in a torta (and the amount is a lot). There's just a feeling of welcome. The food comes out quickly, the people who work there really want you to like it, they're happy when you do. They've also come up with creative additions like a cheesecrusted keto taco and plenty of vegetarian choices.

I find tortas hit or miss. These Mexican sandwiches are built on rolls and stuffed with the same meat choices as tacos. But often, the rolls fall apart, there's too much mayonnaise, not enough meat, and everything slides out at the first bite. But this torta had none of those problems. I got the Torta Loca.

The roll was fresh (I saw it being delivered) and substantial. The meat piled on it was tender, the jalapenos gave it a well-measured heat, the grilled onions added extra flavor, the melted cheese kind of held it all together.

The meats in one of these monsters is steak, chicken milanese (like a thin chicken schnitzel), carnitas and bacon.

And yet it's not grossly too much. It was

just delicious. The tacos are generous, too, with lots of cilantro, lots of onions, plenty of filling in fresh tortillas smelling of fresh corn. I also got an empanada stuffed with chicken tinga that was also delicious. This little restaurant made me super-happy. Just be prepared to wait.

Torta Loca: 7101 Dixie Highway, Florence. Open 10 a.m.-9 p.m. MondayThursday; 10 a.m.-9:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday; 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Sunday. No reservations, great vegetarian choices (huitlacoche, squash flowers, rajas.)

859-279-8487, Torta Loca Tienda y Ristorante on Facebook.

Mesa Loca

Tacos Locos I ate at Tacos Locos because I'm in the middle of a project looking for good tacos. I thought I ought to try out the tacos at a truck that is more or less permanently set up in a BP station just a few blocks from where I live. I've had them before, but maybe it took a direct comparison with other tacos because I hadn't realized how crazy good they are!

Many cheap tacos are made with hard little nuggets of meat that all taste similar. But here, I had a chicken, which was shredded and tender, the pork, which was very zippily spiced as a pastor should be, and the beef, served in a delicious slightly cinnamon-scented sauce, tender and just all-around great.

Crazy they've been right there all along.

Tacos Locos 6135 Montgomery Road, Pleasant Ridge. Open 11 a.m.-8 p.m.

Tuesday-Friday; noon-8 p.m. Saturday, 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Sunday, 513-306-3617, special vegetarian menu, tacoslocosfoodtruck.com.

Mesa Loca is a new restaurant in Hyde Park, so it's going for something more high end than a familiar Mexican combination plate. It sticks out in graceful Hyde Park Square with its fake weathered bricks, and columns painted white and pale orange. Mesa Loca also has the biggest outdoor space on the square, it's a great spot in the summer.

The competition for most interesting and beautiful Mexican-inspired decor is stiff these days, with so many beautifully done restaurants like Casa Figueroa or Nada or Frida. This seems amateur in comparison. It made me wonder how the food would be.

Turned out to be not bad. The biggest problem was that the two of us ordered, as the server instructed us, with the idea of sharing. But everything we ordered came at the same time. It barely fit on the table, and some got cold while we were "working on" the rest. But we did like the elote (Mexican street corn). It was grilled and flavored and slathered with cheese and spice, then served with the kernels partly cut off. The ceviche mixto didn't have the citric tang you'd expect. The peppers stuffed with crab were pretty good, as were the ribs crusted with blue corn. They make their own tortillas, including the blue corn version used for the chicken ropa taco.

But the most fun thing here, and the reason I'd go back, is the molcajete. A molcajete is the bowl carved out of lava rock used in Mexican cooking to grind spices and chiles. You can't make a real mole without it. But Mexican restaurants have found a new use for it as a

serving dish. Like a stone bowl in Korean restaurants, it holds heat amazingly well. The one we ordered arrived at our table still bubbling, full of steak and chicken and shrimp and chorizo and peppers. It was still bubbling when we'd finished all that and only the delicious chili base was left. (The shrimp was hung over the side, so they didn't get overcooked.)

It was described to me as elevated fajitas, and sized for 3 people, but we only got five tortillas with it and it took a long time to get more.

Still, it's a fun dining and sharing experience. I think the amount is just right for two.

This was the first time I'd come across a molcajete like this. It made me want to go try more.

I guess I don't get out to standard Mexican restaurants enough. My editor said he's had a good one, full of seafood, at Cancun. We went to another Mexican place up north and ordered one, but it was nothing like Mesa Loca's; it had no sauce and the meat was dry. But the one at Mesa Loca had that quality of overthe-top extravagance that you can only call loco.

Retired NKY police officer accused of approaching juveniles to have sex

Accused serial rapist was interviewed in prior Kenton County case Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Boone, Campbell and Kenton county detectives are searching through unsolved cases after an accused serial rapist was indicted in Hamilton County.

As of Wednesday, Feb. 12, one cold case out of Kenton County mentioned the accused serial rapist by name, officials said.

Hamilton County Prosecutor Joseph Deters described William Brian Blankenship, 55, as “a pig” during a news conference on Tuesday, Feb. 11.

“He needs to go to jail for the rest of his life,” Deters said.

Blankenship is accused of assaulting two girls and a woman in the Mount Washington and Anderson Township areas between 1999 and 2001, Deters said.

The victims are as young as 10 years old.

Detectives said they believe Blankenship has lived in the Greater Cincinnati area since those incidents.

Blankenship’s most recent address is on North Street in Southgate, Kentucky, according to court records.

Kenton County Commonwealth’s Attorney Rob Sanders confirmed Wednesday, Feb. 12 that Blankenship’s name has already come up in at least one prior investigation out of Kenton County.

Sanders said Blankenship was interviewed during an investigation turned cold case but not arrested or charged.

He did not provide the date or location of that offense at this time.

Cincinnati detectives met with Kenton County detectives Feb. 11 to give a summary of Blankenship’s case. Kenton County detectives are going through unsolved cases now to see if they can find any matches to Blankenship.

Sanders has been in contact with commonwealth attorneys in Campbell and Boone counties where de-

tectives are doing the same.

“Joe Deters has always been great to work with and I really appreciate him reaching out across the river to make sure that justice should be served on behalf of any victims that Mr. Blankenship might have on this side of the rivBlankenship er as well,” Sanders said.

Sanders said he has asked the Kentucky State Police Forensic Laboratory System to attain Blankenship’s DNA profile from Hamilton County to compare with unsolved rape cases in Kentucky’s database.

But it could take 18 months or more to see if there are any matches. Sanders said it is “mind-boggling” how many unsolved cases could potentially be solved if only Kentucky’s DNA testing moved faster.

“It’s literally jaw dropping to police and prosecutors in Kentucky when the Hamilton County Coroner’s Office can turn around a DNA match in a week when we have to wait 18 months to get the same evidence out of our state police crime lab,” he said.

Even so, Sanders said DNA technology has improved drastically in the last 20 to 30 years.

He said cases that had too small of a sample size to be tested while they were being investigated might be sufficient to be tested now.

And if any of them are a potential match to Blankenship, Sanders said he will ask “if not beg” Hamilton County Coroner Dr. Lakshmi Sammarco to do the testing in Hamilton County, so as not to wait longer than need be.

If convicted of his current charges, Deters said Blankenship will spend the rest of his life in prison.

Retired Northern Kentucky police officer James Bussman offered two juveniles and a 19-year-old money to have sex with him, according to Pendleton County court records and police officials.

The 55-year-old Elsmere resident was arrested at his residence Feb. 6 on a Pendleton County warrant. He retired in 2010 as a captain at Fort Mitchell Police Department after more than 22 years on the department, according to a city official. He was an assistant chief at Falmouth Police Department as recently as 2016.

Bussman Bussman offered money to have sex with two victims at the Falmouth skate park and another victim on a two-lane country road south of the city, according to court records.

He was jailed on two felony charges of first-degree unlawful transaction with a minor under age 18, two misdemeanor charges of loitering for prostitution purposes and a misdemeanor charge of second-degree stalking.

He was released Feb. 8 from Campbell County Detention Center, according to jail officials. Bussman was released on a $2,000.

His attorney, Wilbur H. Zevely of Florence-based Busald Funk Zevely, declined to comment Friday afternoon.

According to police: ❚ In mid-November, a man approached a juvenile male in the skate park, said Mark Branham, a Falmouth Police Department officer. Bussman asked the boy if he needed work. “He was like, ‘I don’t know if you’d be into gay sex’,” Branham said.

The teen said no. The man offered money, Branham said. Bussman was charged with first-degree unlawful transaction with a minor under 18 and loitering for prostitution purposes, according to court records. ❚ On Dec. 28, a 19-year-old male told police a man came to the same skate park asking to have sex, he said. “Bussman told him, he offered him $200 and $400 for sex and he told him no too,” Branham said of the teen. Bussman was charged with loitering for prostitution purposes, according to court records. ❚ On Jan. 15 or Jan. 16, a juvenile jogging past a cemetery was approached on McKinneysburg Road, a rural road south of Falmouth, he said. “He approached him saying the same stuff, offering him money for sex,” Branham said. The juvenile said no.

“He said then well, you’re not safe anymore, or something along those lines, Branham said. “And the boy took off. He got scared.” Bussman was charged with second-degree stalking and first-degree unlawful transaction with a minor under 18, according to court records.

Bussman is scheduled to be arraigned at 9 a.m.

March 3 in Pendleton County District Court.

Covington passes new rules for homeless shelters Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The homeless shelters in Northern Kentucky’s largest city have new rules to follow.

The Covington Board of Commissioners approved an ordinance Tuesday, Feb. 11 that sets standards and restrictions for new and existing homeless shelters in the city. The vote aims to close the door on the community conflict that erupted around the draft ordinance that advocates for people experiencing homeless called “problematic,” in letters sent to the city.

In October, The Enquirer obtained a copy of the draft ordinance. Homeless advocates lashed out at the suggested elements that included strict location restrictions and bike rack requirements.

Since then, things have changed.

The most critiqued standards, including the location restrictions, are not part of the ordinance that the commission passed. Officials nixed the most contested elements from the bill. Commissioner Denny Bowman was the only commissioner who voted against the ordinance. He told the room he thought it was an ex-

ample of government overreach.

In October, Bowman told The Enquirer the commissioners had not included him in the discussions about the controversial draft ordinance. He reiterated that point Tuesday, Feb. 11.

Representatives from the homeless shelters thanked the officials for their communication about the changes to the ordinance. There are five homeless shelters in Covington: Emergency Shelter of Northern Kentucky, Welcome House, Fairhaven Rescue Mission, Women’s Crisis Center and the Brighton Center Homeward Bound Shelter.

“We want to express our thanks and say our experience with the city has been very positive,” said Cameron Parker, Treasurer for Fairhaven Rescue Mission.

“We felt like our concerns have been addressed.”

Erlanger resident Jamie Weaver, who is vice president on the board for the Emergency Shelter of Northern Kentucky, also thanked the city officials. He said more progress had been made in the past eight months than ever before on the issue.

Former NKU professor jailed in Georgia predator sting Jeanne Houck Cincinnati

Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A former Northern Kentucky University department chair was among 14 men arrested in Georgia in an online child predator sting involving local, state and federal officials there.

Keith Walters, 44, left NKU in June and has served as dean of the College of Science and Mathematics at Valdosta State University in Valdosta, Georgia, since June 2019.

He is being held without bond in the Lowndes County, Georgia, Jail. His next court appearance date had not been set when this article was originally published.

Walters faces state charges in Lowndes County that include one count of the sexual exploitation of children and three counts of furnishing obscene material electronically to a minor, according to jail records.

“Valdosta State University has placed Keith Walters on immediate administrative leave pending the outcome of internal and law enforcement investigations into these very disturbing allegations,” said Jessica Pope,

media relations coordinator for the university.

“VSU remains committed to assisting law enforcement’s investigation in any way.”

A statement from Northern Kentucky University said Walters is a former chair of the university’s Chemistry and Biochemistry Department who voluntarily left NKU last June after accepting a position with Valdosta State University.

“During his tenure, the university did not receive any allegations of inappropriate conduct,” Northern Kentucky University’s statement said.

Walters was arrested in an undercover investigation called “Operation Broken Arrow,” coordinated by the Georgia Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the Lowndes County Sheriff ’s Office, according to a press release issued by the GBI this week.

“The goal of ‘Operation Broken Arrow’ was to arrest persons who communicate with children online and then travel to meet them for the purpose of having sex,” the release said.

The release said the sting also targeted people willing to exploit children by purchasing sex with a minor.

The men arrested were charged with computer or electronic pornography and violations of the Child Exploitation Prevention Act of 2007 and/ or trafficking of persons for labor or sexual servitude, the release said.

‘Every individual arrested ... believed they were going to a location to meet with a child’ But, the release said, “Every individual arrested during the operation believed they were going to a location to meet with a child and engage in prearranged sex acts.”

The arrestees ranged in age from 24 to 57 and, besides Walters, included truck drivers, retail workers, laborers, a carpenter, electrician and customerservice representative.

Authorities will continue to target child predators, said Debbie Garner, GBI Special Agent in Charge and commander of the Georgia Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.

“This type of coopera-

tion and collaboration is invaluable in the effort to keep our children safe from predators who seek to harm them,” Garner said.

“We will continue to aggressively work together to protect our children.”

Florence Elementary celebrated 100 days of school There were a whole lot of activities taking place celebrating the 100th Day of school at Florence Elementary.

The kindergartners brought in 100th Day projects that displayed objects ranging from a googly eye monster with the caption - Eye have seen 100 days of school, I survive 100 days with Band-Aids, Thumbs Up canvas with 100 thumb prints, and of course one of the teacher’s favorite was 100 reasons why schools and teachers make a better world for kids tee-shirt listing the reasons.

A few of the words included, tolerance, persistent, not for the money, expectations, engaging, understanding and believing… in each student. Some of the classes made 100th Day hats or crowns to celebrate.

The first graders brought in plastic bottles holding a mystery object in a brown paper bag. The students used many adjectives to describe their object and their classmates had to guess the 100 mystery objects in their bottle.

Some of the mystery items were basic household items such as skittles, pasta, paper fasteners, and marshmallows.

The most creative item was butterflies that appeared to be flying as they twirl and floated in the liquid when turned upside down. You can’t forget smarties because they are 100 days smarter.

Do you have a goetta recipe or memory?

Rita’s goetta Double the recipe if you like. The only changes I made from my family’s original recipe were adding broth, garlic and marjoram.

So if you’re a purist like my German in-laws, leave them out.

Just add more water to sub for the broth. Either way, it’s good.

Ingredients 3-4 pounds fresh pork shoulder/butt, bone in or not, top fat trimmed just a bit 3 generous cups chopped onion and celery (include leaves) 3 bay leaves 2 tablespoons salt 1 tablespoon pepper ⁄2 to 1 teaspoon each: dried marjoram and garlic powder

1

1 quart low-sodium beef broth, and water enough to cover meat in pan. I added up to 6 cups.

30 to 32 oz. regular pinhead/steel cut oats Instructions Put everything but oats in large stockpot.

Bring to boil, lower to simmer and cook, partially covered, until meat falls from bone, 2-3 hours or so. Add water as necessary to keep meat under liquid.

Dump everything in a colander, straining broth for cooking oats.

Set meat and veggies aside. (You’ll shred these while oats cook).

Spray a large slow cooker and pour in hot broth.

Pour in oats and stir. Cover and cook on high or low, stirring occasionally, until oats are thoroughly cooked. You may need to add water if oats look sort of dry before they’re cooked.

Mine took about 21⁄2 hours on high.

Goetta with egg and bacon fried in a cast iron skillet. RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE ENQUIRER

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

A snowy wonderland greeted me when I woke up early this morning. The decision was made: today would be a goetta making day.

Goetta, as you may know, is an iconic Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky food with Germanic origins.

I don’t have space here to go into goetta’s history but check my site for a photo tutorial of my recipe using fresh pork shoulder/butt, plus recipes from readers, like Bernie Butscha’s great grandma’s recipe. Hers uses pork loin and ground chuck. Terry Balllman’s generational recipe has its origins at the stockyards in Cincinnati.

June Cross’ includes beef shank and marrow bone. The Hoerst family uses ground beef

and ground pork. Others add a dash of cloves.

Reader Jon Peters uses the recipe and pot handed down from his father-in-law. Jim Reinhart’s crockpot goetta is a reader fave.

Get where I’m going here? About the only common denominator is pinhead, also called steel cut oats. We always used the 2 pound bag of Dorsel’s pinhead oats. I couldn’t find that at the grocery. I substituted Quaker steel cut oats, but the container was shy of 2 pounds.

Yet the recipe turned out fine. You can use Irish steel cut oats. Don’t use quick cooking pinhead oats.

My German in-laws made stove top goetta with freshly slaughtered pork shoulder/butt.

My sister-in-law, Claire and I use a slow cooker for part of the process.

Do you have a goetta recipe or memory?

Coming soon: Doscher’s tea party specialities Chris Kimball of Milk Street

Cooked oats will be tender, liquid will be absorbed, and mixture will be thick enough and a bit clumpy looking for big spoon inserted in center to stand straight up. The thicker the consistency, the nicer your goetta sets up.

Mix meat and veggie combo in with oats and continue to cook in slow cooker about 30 minutes, uncovered, stirring occasionally. Or put all in big pot and cook on stove until hot throughout. Remove bay leaves. Adjust seasonings.

Line bread pans and spray. Put goetta in, packing tight.

Smooth tops.

Refrigerate uncovered for 12-24 hours. This creates a slight crust and allows goetta to set up firmly.

Store, covered, in refrigerator or freezer.

To serve: Cook until crisp with bacon or bacon drippings. It’s heresy in our family to cook any other way.

Sports Ryle swimmers celebrate historic win ta.

James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Ryle swimming program has been on a gradual rise in the past few years.

Teamwork brought the Raiders to new heights after the girls team made school history Feb. 7.

Ryle won the Region 7 girls championship, ending Notre Dame’s 21-year winning streak in regional team championships. Ryle scored 412 points to beat the Pandas by 88, and win their first ever regional championship.

Head coach Jeff Floyd said his swimmers’ willingness to swim different events than last year showed great teamwork.

“That shows the unselfishness of the team,” he said. “They said ‘Coach we want to win this title; tell us what we need to do. We’re all in.’ A lot of coaches don’t have that flexibility or the talent that’s willing to put the program first versus themselves. That’s a testament to these ladies.”

Ryle won one of the 12 individual event championships, the 200 freestyle relay, marking Ryle’s first individual event championship in program history.

In addition, the Raiders had third-place finishes in the other two relays, and 12 combined top-five finishes in the eight individual swimming events. That included three of the top five finishers in one of the most difficult events, the 200 individual medley.

The Raiders have a deep group led by Marshall University commit Audrey West, Rhodes commit Emily Robinson and others who will swim in college.

The 200 free relay champions consisted of seniors Audrey West and Avery Floyd, junior Kelsey Hammons and

sophomore Bethany Weber.

COMMUNITY NEWS The Carnegie announces registration for 2020 Camp Carnegie Summer Theatre Workshops Camp Carnegie is back for another summer of theatre, art, and education. This year, students will explore misunderstandings and decisions gone wrong as they perform from a new point of view.

The Carnegie is offering ten full-day camps. Eight will be hosted at The Carnegie’s Eva G. Farris Education Center, and two at the Lincoln Grant Scholar House Auditorium, located two blocks from The Carnegie.

Over the course of the workshops, children will have fun exploring the world of theatre through hands-on art making, character and costume design, dramatic exercises, script writing, team building, problem solving and more. All Camp Carnegie: A Villain’s Tale theatre workshops will conclude with a live performance for friends and family.

Ten Camp Carnegie: A Villain’s Tale workshops will be offered from June through August: The Eva G. Farris Education Center (1028 Scott Bouleveard | Covington, KY 41011) ❚ Session 1: June 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 – 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. ❚ Session 2: June 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 – 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. ❚ Session 3: June 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 – 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. ❚ Session 4: July 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 – 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. ❚ Session 5: July 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 – 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. ❚ Session 6: July 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 – 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. ❚ Session 7: July 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 – 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. ❚ Session 8: August 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 – 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Paper, bottles, cans and glass, oh my As a general rule, Americans have improved their recycling habits and paper is no longer the most common item found in landfills (it is food). However, recycling is still challenging as individuals don’t always understand what can and what cannot be recycled in the area.

Mason Collection of recyclables is based on end-market need for the products. If there is no company that will buy what is collected, there is no reason to collect the items.

Mixed item, curbside pick-up has improved recycling rates as have the large collection bins placed around the county for common use by residents. However, there are still misconceptions about what can go in those recycling containers and how they should be placed.

Plastic sacks from the store do not belong in any curbside or large collection bins. They must be returned to a collection bin at a store (many stores collect these). In addition to plastic bags from stores, plastic newspaper sleeves, dry-cleaning bags, and other non-food plastic bags can generally be recycled through this route. Many people gather items in these plastic sacks and then put the sack in the container.

The items should be removed from the sacks and the sacks recycled separately.

Bottles, jars and cans should be emptied and rinsed prior to recycling. This helps reduce bug infestations in the home while items are being stored. It also helps protect the workers at the recycling centers.

Pizza boxes and other stained paper and cardboard do not belong in the recycling bins.

Only plastic containers with a spout, regardless of the number in the recycling logo on them, can be recycled. So, yogurt containers, berry baskets, and the like do not belong in the recycling bins.

Plastic children’s toys, old clocks, china, pottery, wooden pallets, old mattresses, tires, and other items do not belong in recycling bins or containers. Contact your recycling center to understand what can and cannot be recycled in your area.

“Recycle it Right: Give Your Garbage a New Life” will be held on Thursday, Feb. 27. The presentation by the Boone County Solid Waste department will be held from 1:30-3 p.m. and repeated from 6:30-8 p.m. on the lower level of the Boone County Extension Enrichment Center, 1824 Patrick Drive, Burlington, KY. There is no fee to attend this community education session on what is and what is not recyclable, what is done with recyclables in the county, and the spring clean-up effort scheduled for April. Registration is appreciated but not required by calling our office at 859586-6101.
