NKY’s homeless fi nd a new refuge in the suburbs Julia Fair
Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Marc Miller, 60, often walked to the Florence Christian Church. The staff welcomed him, brewed coffee for him and gave him shampoo and a towel to use in their community shower open to all. But, then his visits stopped. “I’m going, ‘where’s Mark? Haven’t seen Mark in a while,” said the church’s communications coordinator Melissa Stephens. “Someone said — ‘oh, he died.’” Police found Miller, who had been experiencing homelessness, behind the Big Lots building in Florence after a chilly April 2018 night that dipped into the low 30s, Boone County Coroner Missy Rittinger told The Enquirer. “Not only is it bad to sleep when it’s cold,” Stephens said. “It’s life-threatening.” In January, Stephens launched Boone County’s fi rst emergency shelter to give people a place to sleep shielded from extreme weather. It’s the fi rst Northern Kentucky shelter to open outside of the four that operate within Kenton County. The church’s emergency shelter: ❚ Opens at 9 p.m. on extreme weather nights. ❚ Closes at 6 a.m. when guests leave. ❚ Holds up to 20 individuals.

ter of homeless shelters being the only shelter service in Northern Kentucky. Offi cials from the region’s largest city faced scrutiny over its proposed homeless shelter regulations which were revised and signed into law in February. When asked, Stephens told The Enquirer she doesn’t worry about something like that happening in Florence, primarily because their primary designation is a church. “Well, we’re a church. We’re never going to be a shelter shelter,” Stephens
said. “What we’re doing is providing an emergency response.” The Florence Christian Church emergency shelter sits at 300 Main St. in Florence. The church gets a lot of foot traffi c, Stephens said. Within a fi ve minute walk there are apartments, the Church of Scientology of Greater Cincinnati, a childcare center and a hardware store. Florence is Northern Kentucky’s second-largest city, home to just over 32,000 people. It was also the second
most common Northern Kentucky city where people experiencing homelessness in the region had their last stable home, according to a report from the Northern Kentucky Homelessness Working Group. That group is made up of organizations that provide services to people experiencing homelessness in Northern Kentucky. About 1,500 people experienced homelessness in the counties of Boone, Kenton and Campbell between July 2018 and June 2019, according to that report. Stephens strolled along the perimeter of the church’s indoor gym where a preschool class had just fi nished a round of play. . The gym is kind of a community hub, Stephens explained. She told The Enquirer how Boy Scout Troops practiced survival skills, Special Olympic and a soccer skills group perfected their techniques and others dribbled basketballs in friendly matches The shelter opens on extreme weather nights, ones in which the temperature is expected to drop below 10 degrees or if there’s going to be a fl urry of snow and ice, Stephens said. It won’t be open in summer because a summer camp uses the space, Stephens said. On the three nights it’s been open so far, she called the nearby library and food kitchen to spread the word that the shelter would be open. See HOMELESS, Page 2A
Farmstand Market and Cafe closing for repairs Briana Rice
Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
A Northern Kentucky farm to table restaurant is offi cially closing its doors but the Greater Cincinnati community is rallying to help them reopen. The Farmstand Market and Cafe in Union’s front entrance was struck by a vehicle on March 4. No one was hurt and the restaurant reopened for takeout and delivery on March 6, through a separate retail market entrance. The Farmstand recently announced it will be closing again. "We are going to have to close again. This is far worse than we thought, and the construction at this point makes it impossible to be open at this point. I will let everyone know as we progress.
“Thank you all for your support," Farmstand wrote in a Facebook post. Tricia Houston, the owner of the restaurant, said she will be paying employees wages for all time missed. "It's the right thing to do," according to the Facebook post. The reconstruction should take about 30 days, the post said. It is unclear when the restaurant will open and they could not be reached for comment when this article was originally published. Polly Campbell said in a 2017 review of The Farmstand Market and Cafe that she would describe the place as rustic. The casual restaurant served mostly sandwiches, salads, quesadillas and soup.

Covington purchases former IRS Center for $20.5M Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
The City of Covington recently agreed to buy the former Internal Revenue Service property for $20.5 million, according to a press release from the city. The IRS Center, which sits between Third and Fourth Streets in Covington, was once home to over 1,8000 processing center jobs. Now, the city will demolish and develop the 23-acre site. The IRS closed the facility last September, ceasing operations after 52 years. “It would be diffi cult to exaggerate the magnitude of this opportunity,” Covington Mayor Joe Meyer said in the release. “The size and value of this site and its potential for development awards Covington the chance to reshape the very identity and economics

of the city long into its future.” The Covington City Commissioners recently called an emergency meeting and later voted to approve purchase in a
3-1 vote, according to the release. Commissioner Denny Bowman was the sole nay vote, Communications Manager Dan Hassert Told The Enquirer. Commissioner Shannon Smith was out of town on business and unable to attend. The city called the emergency meeting to meet the deadline for the General Services Administration, an independent agency of the U.S. government which facilitated the sale, according to the release. It could take up to three years to prepare the site for its future, according to the release. Covington hired Atlanta-based architecture and design fi rm Cooper Carry to create a conceptualization for what the site could be. The concepts released in July 2019 included: ❚ A mixture of uses and outdoor spaces.
❚ A walkable and drivable street grid. ❚ Enhanced connections to the Ohio River. ❚ Integration with surrounding neighborhoods and business centers. ❚ A fl exible framework to accommodate market demand and proposals.

NKY offi cials: order takeout to support businesses in midst of novel coronavirus Julia Fair
Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
You won't be able to sit and dine in your favorite Northern Kentucky eatery due to novel coronavirus concerns. Gov. Andy Beshear announced Monday morning that dine-in options at restaurants will cease after 5 p.m. But, since takeout and deliver is still an option, Northern Kentucky offi cials encouraged residents to grab a to-go order of their favorite sub or dish to support businesses. Beshear is a Democrat, but - like his Ohio GOP counterpart Mike DeWine he earned praise from both parties. Kenton County Judge-Executive Kris Knochelmann, a Republican, told The Enquirer he planned to order the same amount of food from local restaurants as he did pre-pandemic to support the establishments. “From all the experts’ opinions, it

seems like (Gov. Beshear) is doing the right thing,” Knochelmann said. “He’s not overreacting.” Boone County's Republican JudgeExecutive Gary Moore also agreed with the governor’s decision, adding that “we do not want to look back and say we should have done more.” “These are unprecedented times and we should take every precaution to protect human lives,” Moore said. Campbell County Judge-Executive Steve Pendery did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Brent Cooper, president of the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, urged residents to continue to order takeout to support local restaurants. He added that he hoped to see more coronavirus responses, such as unemployment relief, a cut to payroll taxes and low-interest loan opportunities for small businesses. “Small businesses are the backbone of our community, and we can all play a role in helping them, their employees, and each other, get through this,” Cooper said.

So far, about seven people spent the night at the gym during three cold December nights. The Covington-based Emergency Shelter of Northern Kentucky staff and other volunteers greet guests, distribute yoga mats, blankets, water, coff ee, and, when it’s available, a snack. One staff member and two volunteers stay with the guests overnight, Stephens said. At 6 a.m., the guests leave, and staff sanitizes the room. The Emergency Shelter of Northern Kentucky had a hand in organizing the shelter’s fi rst winter. Stephens said it all came together after a call with Kim Webb, the Executive Director of the Northern Kentucky Emergency Shelter. “I said ‘I’ve never said this out loud, but I’d like to open our gym this winter,’” said Stephens. “When I said it out loud to Kim, that got the ball rolling.” Stephens contacted Boone County, the City of Florence, law enforcement, the fi re department, and their Main Street neighbors. “We have had an amazingly gracious response,” Stephens said. Boone County Judge-Executive Gary Moore said the Florence Christian Church is an example of the kinds of partnerships Boone County needs to develop its “homeless strategy.”
“I am very grateful to Florence Christian Church, the entire faith community and other non-profi t organizations for their service to our homeless population,” Moore said. Anyone who wants to donate to the church’s emergency shelter can call 859647-5000 ext. 1 or email FCCinfo@fl orencechristian.org.

Newport start-up pitching luxury tiny homes on foundations Randy Tucker
Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Tiny homes on wheels are still popular with patrons of the small-living movement. Over half of Americans said they would consider living in a home that's less than 600 square feet, according to a 2018 survey by the National Association of Home Builders. But the minimalist lifestyle isn't for everyone. It can force people to make compromises like using a compost toilet and water tank instead of a much more convenient fl ush toilet hooked up to standard plumbing. In addition, many people crave the benefi ts of a small house with less maintenance but still want the amenities of a traditional home, said Natalie Gregory, founder and CEO of Newport-based Wheel Life Tiny Homes. That's where Real Life Tiny Homes fi ts in, according to Gregory, who launched the business last summer as a sister company to Wheel Life, which has been building tiny homes on trailers since 2016. RealLife specializes in designing and building hand-crafted, luxury homes with footprints smaller than 1,000 square feet built on foundations ranging from concrete slabs to full basements. The houses come with all the features of a traditional home, including connections to standard utilities and yards where homeowners can garden or run around with their dogs, said Gregory, a Goshen native who graduated from Thomas More University in 2010 with a bachelor's degree in business administration. The Real Life concept is catching on fast, attracting interest from a wide variety of potential buyers, including millennials, fi rst-time homebuyers and seniors looking to downsize, Gregory said. "The demand has been overwhelming,'' she said. "I have a list of about 200 individuals who are interested. I can only imagine where this is going to go.'' Gregory and her partners - Hal Pendleton, Charlie Pond and Rob and Sarah Steiner - are nearly fi nished with their fi rst model home in a community in Newport. They're not taking orders yet, but once the houses hit the market they'll start at about $149,000, Gregory said. That doesn't include the cost of the land, which the buyer will have to purchase separately. But that gives Real Life homeowners some advantages, Gregory said. Tiny houses built on trailers are technically vehicles
Natalie Gregory, founder and CEO of Newport-based Real Life Tiny Homes, and partner, Charlie Pond. PROVIDED
and depreciate in value just like a car would over time. By comparison, a tiny home built on a foundation will build equity over the years, she said. Homes with foundations are also easier to fi nance and are also more likely to avoid zoning regulations that prohibit homes on wheels in many areas, she added. Gregory said the biggest perk of buying a tiny home built on a foundation is aff ordability. In Jaunary, the average price of single family homes and condos in the Cincinnati metro area was $219,497. Meanwhile, the average home price in Northern Kentucky in December was $214,077, according to the latest fi gures available from both region's boards of Realtors. "Skyrocketing home prices are simply pricing many people out of the market and forcing them to rent,'' Gregory said. "Our goal is to help Cincinnati area and Northern Kentucky residents discover tools to start replacing the aff ordable housing we're losing to rentals.'' "The payment on a tiny house is very aff ordable in
comparison to renting in today's market,'' she added. Business Profi le Name: Real LIfe Tiny Homes Address: 311 York Street, Newport, Ky. Website:wheellifehomes.com/real-life Founder/CEO: Natalie Gregory

Viewpoints NKU connecting our region to the global marketplace Ashish K. Vaidya Guest Columnist Community Recorder USA TODAY NETWORK – REGION
Northern Kentucky University has long embraced its role as a steward of place. We proudly embrace our responsibility to collaborate with community partners to maximize opportunities and address critical issues of importance in the region. Through local and regional partnerships, NKU fosters economic development through talent development, research and innovation and civic engagement. We are deeply connected with regional business and industry partners, school districts, government and non-profi t agencies, and community organizations. So how does internationalization fi t in with this notion of regional engagement? An increasingly connected world, the rise of the internet and systems of communication, and the impact of global forces on local communities – especially climate change and health – have dramatically expanded the need for universities to engage in eff orts to internationalize their teaching, learning, scholarship and service missions. NKU’s commitment to the region means we must help translate and connect the "local to the global," whether it is to produce a more globally aware and culturally competent talent force, advance knowledge and expertise in fi elds like cybersecurity and logistics, or bridge opportunities between local business and international markets. The Northern Kentucky/Greater Cincinnati region is home to a growing immigrant population. According
The campus of Northern Kentucky University, April 11, 2019. RYAN TERHUNE / THE ENQUIRER
to Cincinnati Compass, immigrants generate $1.5 billion in spending power and $190 million in state and local taxes, which contribute to our infrastructure and social programs. NKU is expanding our eff orts to recruit talent from around the world through student and scholar mobility. International students and scholars bring a rich diversity of thought, perspectives
and talent to our university, not to mention their economic impact on the region. According to NAFSA: Association of International Educators, in 2018, the fi nancial contributions of the nearly 12,000 international students in Kentucky exceeded $444 million while supporting over 3,000 jobs. NKU’s 420 international students contribute over $14 million and support 153 jobs. These economic contributions of international students are in addition to the immense academic and cultural value these students bring to our university and the local community.

Local breweries fi ghting for White Claw drinkers Matt Koesters
Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Another Cincy Winter Beerfest is in the books, and one thing is absolutely clear: The competition in the Cincinnati craft beer market is hotter than it’s ever been. Actually, there are two things. This event should never again coincide with the return of Daylight Saving Time. Between the lost hour and the lost quiet weekend between Bockfest and St. Patrick’s Day, we could all use a little time to relax. That being said, I think this year’s installment was the best I’ve attended yet. In addition to the opportunity to taste some remarkable beers, Beerfest offered a glimpse of things to come – new local breweries, new trends and newcomers to the Cincinnati market.
Healthy competition Beer isn’t health food. It’s not supposed to be, anyhow. But the arrival of White Claw and its low-carb imitators has left several local breweries scrambling to concoct healthier options for craft beer drinkers. Covington-based Braxton Brewing Company was the fi rst local brewery to go after the calorie-counting crowd with
its Vive line of hard seltzers (which I happen to think taste better than comparable White Claw fl avors). Early reviews of its newly debuted Hop Fit session IPA on Untappd have been mixed, with an average score of 3.45 on 78 check-ins at the time this was written. That’s a somewhat surprising score, and much higher than I expected given the alcohol content (4% ABV) and calories per serving (100). Going head-to-head with Braxton for the belt-tightening beer drinker is MadTree, whose Ramble On session IPA was the fi rst craft low-calorie beer from a Cincinnati brewery to hit shelves. Ramble On has received a similar reception – an Untappd average of 3.48 through 168 check-ins.
In my glass Remember the story I told a few weeks back about how it took me years to come around on IPAs? Confession time: I had been harboring hate for witbiers for about as long as I’ve been a beer drinker. Rhinegeist Whiffl e has once again shown me that all it takes is one good experience to change one’s mind about an entire style. I would never have bought it, so an extra thanks to the folks at Rhinegeist for sending the samples.
Del Hall, right, is entering his third week of consuming only beer for Lent. The Fifty West sales director plans to break his own record from last year by going 50 days, besting his previous 46. PHOTOS BY MATT KOESTERS/FOR THE ENQUIRER

Mixed Greens with Ranch dressing (in jar). RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE ENQUIRER
Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist
A reader asked me how I get inspired to write about food every week. Well, here’s the answer. I fi nd inspiration in the simplest of things. Like recently, when I taught interactive classes with children attending the Kids Kuisine event at Anderson Pavilion on the waterfront in Cincinnati. Headed by Cincinnati Magazine, this fun event benefi ts The Children’s Theater of Cincinnati. This year, one of the tasty recipes the little ones helped make was a layered salad with seasonal ingredients.
We started out with a base of mixed greens, and the kids chose toppings. I had tomatoes, bell peppers, celery, carrots, cucumbers, squash, croutons, chick peas and sunfl ower seeds. I thought they’d choose a few, but I was wrong. Every topping was approved and sprinkled on (when you let kids help, even picky eaters become more adventurous). Of course, the dressing was a no brainer. I had them shake up Ranch dressing in a canning jar. Who doesn’t like Ranch? Anyway, when I got home I kept thinking about that salad. It looked so good and I didn’t get a bite. So that’s what I made for supper, and I augmented it with hard boiled eggs.
Or freeze in muffin tins and then pop them out and store in freezer bags.
I had a few wild edibles foraged from a walk in our woods so I added those, too. Take a peek at the salad. I photographed it on the edge of my spring fed woodland pool where watercress grows. Can you see the watercress growing in the water? Along with the watercress, the other wild edibles I added were chickweed and garlic mustard. And what looks like chives garnishing the top are wild onions. OK I need to say you don’t have to “go wild” to make a satisfying supper salad. Produce from the grocery will do just fi ne. But do nudge it up a notch and dress the salad with this yummy homemade ranch dressing.

STOCK CLOSEOUT
Tip: When foraging for wild edibles, a positive identifi cation is necessary. ❚ Mother Nature gifts us with many wild edibles. Know what you’re picking (there are nonedible look-a-likes). ❚ Don’t pick from roadsides or places that may have been sprayed or visited by animals. ❚ If you’re not absolutely sure, don’t pick it. ❚ Clean gently and thoroughly before eating.

Sports CovCath, Ryle react to postponements; spring sports on hold indefi nitely James Weber
Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Covington Catholic’s endless, undying spirit recently took a blow, with the postponement of this year’s Kentucky High School Athletic Association Sweet 16 state basketball tournaments due to the novel coronavirus. The postponement came on March 12, as the KHSAA announced the suspension of ticket sales in the morning, then decided to postpone both tournaments indefi nitely while action had begun on the Rupp Arena fl oor at the girls tournament. CovCath was scheduled to play its fi rst game in the boys state tournament Thursday, March 19, at Rupp Arena. “It was an emotional day for our team yesterday,” CovCath athletic director Tony Bacigalupo said. “I just feel for all those seniors on both schools and everyone who’s put the time in. I applaud the KHSAA for being proactive. We had multiple meetings yesterday, fi rst when they said they were going to suspend ticket sales. In the age of social media, things get out quickly. We had to keep the kids informed. Then we brought them down again after school. They’re a resilient group of kids.” The Colonels have seven seniors, led by guard Grant Disken, who is the Mr. Basketball fi nalist for the Ninth Region. The Ryle girls basketball team was set to play last week in the state quarterfi nals against Bullitt East, who has been a top-10 team this season. The Raiders have won their last fi ve games in the Sweet 16 after claiming the state championship last year. Repeat dreams are on hold for now, pending if the KHSAA resumes the tournament at some point this spring. Head coach Katie Haitz said the Raiders were in Rupp Arena March 12 watching the one game that was played in the afternoon (South Laurel vs. Sacred Heart) when they heard the news. “I think, more than anything, I was a little shocked, but I understand,” Haitz said. “Everyone was heartbroken in a lot of ways. We huddled together and there were all sorts of tears. The main concern is the health of everyone.” Ryle has two seniors: Multi-year starter Jaiden Douthit and fi fth-year starter Maddie Scherr. Scherr, an Oregon signee, is the favorite for the Kentucky Miss Basketball award. She recently won her second award
CovCath Colonel Crazies, March 10, 2020. JAMES WEBER/THE ENQUIRER
for Gatorade Player of the Year in the Kentucky, and she is the fi rst McDonald’s All-American in Northern Kentucky girls history. Scherr tweeted about the situation, including a picture of her smiling at Douthit while they’re both in a Ryle uniform, saying “This is such an emotional time. I would’ve never imagined this is the way I’d go out. For this to be taken away right now, by something that feels so unfair, hurts. The heartbreak each of us feels on this team is I’m sure what every team and player feels as well. Isaiah 41:10.” Scherr sat out in the March 11 state opener with a sprained ankle. Ryle beat Letcher County Central by 23 to advance. “For the seniors, we kept Maddie out because we thought we would be playing Friday,” Haitz said. “A lot of teams didn’t get to play at state and we were with them (yesterday). I hope there is a chance we get to
play down the road. For young kids who work for fi ve months and then have it swept away from them, and not have some kind of conclusion, was pretty hard.” The Raiders ended their last game March 11 with a grand display of sportsmanship, letting Letcher County Central senior Mackenzie Craft score a basket in the fi nal seconds of the game after she injured her knee at midseason. The organizers of the awards ceremony for Mr. and Miss Basketball in Kentucky announced Friday that the ceremony has been postponed. Scherr and Simon Kenton senior Maggie Jones are candidates for the Miss Basketball honor, with Scherr the frontrunner.

NKU basketball refl ects on outstanding seasons James Weber
Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Like countless numbers of college athletes in the past week, the men’s basketball players at Northern Kentucky saw their futures on the court change in a hurry. The NKU men’s team won its third Horizon League tournament championship March 10 in Indianapolis, clinching its third NCAA Tournament berth in four seasons. Less than 48 hours later, the Norse were mourning the end of their season as the NCAA Tournament was canceled due to the new coronavirus. “It’s the full gamut of emotions, winning the conference championship and solidifying the berth in the NCAA Tournament, and less than 48 hours later, hearing there is no tournament,” said fi rst-year NKU head coach Darrin Horn. “I felt for our seniors, not getting the opportunity to play in the tournament.” Like everyone else, the Norse ran through the whirlwind of emotions March 11-12, when most of the sports world shut down. “When we got home (March 11), there hadn’t been any cancellations,” Horn said. “As soon as I saw the NBA cancellation (that night), I thought that the NCAA can’t be that far behind. The amazing thing is how fast it happened, from nobody talking about it to it being canceled.” The Norse had three seniors this season: Tyler Sharpe, Dantez Walton and Karl Harris. They and the rest of the team went home last week as the school was

already on spring break. Sharpe and Walton have been regular starters the past two seasons during the Norse’s dominant run. Sharpe, a senior guard from Bullitt East High School near Louisville, started 32 games this season, averaging 15.1 points and more than two assists per game in 2020. He ended this season with 1,196 career points. This year, he had fi ve 30-point outings, including a career-high of 33, done three times. Walton, a graduate of Lima Central Catholic in Ohio, was the 2015-2016 Ohio Division III Player of the Year and led his team to two state championships. He started 20 of 21 games he played this season and
fi nished with 1,008 career points. He averaged 16.1 points per game in 2020, including three 30-point outings. His career-high was 33 points in November. He averaged 7.3 rebounds and two assists per game this season, and hit 49 3-pointers. Harris joined the team this season as a graduate transfer from Northern Arizona University, where he averaged 8.2 points per game two seasons ago. This year for the Norse, he averaged 4.4 points and 2.5 rebounds in 12 minutes per game. “You’re talking about three guys, two of them defi ning (how) people look at NKU basketball now,” Horn said. “We told them we’re thankful for what they’ve done for the program. We told them their last game, they went out as champions, and no one can take that from them. It’s never been done before.” The Horn family is dealing with a double dose of disappointment. Horn’s son Walker is a sophomore at Covington Catholic, who was supposed to play in the KHSAA Sweet 16 this week at Rupp Arena. That tournament, as well as the girls Sweet 16, have been postponed by the novel coronavirus. Darrin Horn is a Lexington, Kentucky, native, leading Tates Creek to the state runner-up in the Sweet 16 in 1991, and later playing in three NCAA Tournaments for Western Kentucky. “It’s a big deal in Kentucky,” he said. “I played in the state tournament and for him to be able to do it was a cool thing. No diff erent than our guys, very disappointed. He’s a sophomore and the saddest thing is our senSee NORSE, Page 2B

iors don’t get a chance.” Like his colleagues around the country, Darrin Horn is eyeing the eff ects on next season, with current recruiting procedures being changed and the current movement to let some or all current seniors on basketball programs get an extra year of eligibility. Phone calls and text messages with recruits will continue without disruption, but high school games and AAU events won't be a possibility any time soon. On Thursday, March 12, the NCAA instituted a recruiting dead period until April 15, so that adds another barrier to the recruiting piece of the puzzle. “We literally have no idea what things look like looking forward,’” Horn said “April, we can’t see anybody and they can’t see us, we don’t know if that’s going to be extended and with the NBA stuff , deciding if and when they can declare. Then you have extra years, scholarship limitations. Can you sign more? There are a lot of questions right now.”
Norse women fi nish best DI season The Norse women’s team enjoyed its best season in the eight-year Division I history after defeating Milwaukee 78-58 Thursday, March 12 in the quarterfi nals of the Horizon League Tournament at BB&T Arena. NKU enjoyed its fi rst 20-win season in the Division I

era and had the season end at 20-12 after a heartbreaking 50-49 loss to Green Bay in the conference tournament semifi nals. “I’m so happy for our team,” said fourth-year head coach Camryn Whitaker after the last home win. “One of those characteristics we talk about all the time is trust. Trust between the players and the coaching staff , coach to player. I reminded them before the game that the preparation for today’s game didn’t happen yesterday; that happened in June. We’ve been preparing all year to get to this point. I told them they didn’t need me today. They could go out and play on their own and I had no doubt they would fi nd a way.” Running the show was sophomore Ally Niece, a point guard out of Simon Kenton High School. Niece, the leading scorer for the year at more than 12 points per game, had a career game against Milwaukee. She scored a career-high 27 points, shooting 12-of-18 from the fl oor with four rebounds, seven assists and a block. Niece led the team in averaging 13.1 points for the season, 3.6 assists and 3.3 rebounds. The former SK standout led the Pioneers to the state tournament and had over 2,700 points. “Ally, she is so good and she doesn’t realize how good she is,” Whitaker said. “You can’t appreciate her game until you watch her play a few times. Not only her points but her ability to score when we need a basket, then she has seven assists. She’s done that all year. She makes very few mistakes. Ally and I have built a relationship where I can say anything to her. We tell her all the time ‘we have confi dence in you,’ and she’s starting to believe it. She’s starting to take over and
she’s turning it on at the right time.” Freshman Ivy Turner, a standout from Danville, Kentucky, started all 32 games and averaged 8.8 points per game. She had 21 points against Milwaukee and Whitaker praised the way both she and Niece run the team. Molly Glick, a senior guard, was the only senior on the squad. She had 12 points against Milwaukee and averaged 12 points per for the season. She leads the team in 3-pointers and averages four rebounds. Junior Kailey Coff ey averaged nearly eight rebounds per game for the year. Emmy Souder, a 6-foot-2 center from two-time Kentucky state champion Mercer County, started all 32 games and averages 8.3 points and 5.4 rebounds. “We have two really, really good guards who I’m very happy to have on this team,” Whitaker said. “Molly Glick hit two big shots and made plays when we needed them to happen. We don’t win without Kailey Coff ey. She won’t score a lot of points, but she’s our glue. She leads by example. I’m so proud. I could run through a list of all of our players.” Sophomore Taylor Clos, a former all-state player from Campbell County High School, is one of the top bench options. Junior Grayson Rose, a 6-foot-3 center, has 37 blocks on the year. The Norse have nine players who average 10 or more minutes.

COMMUNITY NEWS Redwood to open satellite location in Hebron Redwood’s Board of Trustees made history on Tuesday night when they approved a plan to expand Redwood’s Services by opening a satellite location in Hebron, Kentucky. The Boone County site will primarily house the Early Care and Education program. In this program, Redwood will provide childcare and preschool for more than 60 children with and without disabilities annually. Embedded in this program is Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPEC), which helps children with special health care needs stabilize and improve their health while benefi ting from typical childhood experiences. PPEC allows Redwood to serve children with disabilities or medical fragility who could not be realistically served in a typical childcare center due to Redwood’s onsite nursing staff . Boone County Judge Executive Gary Moore stated, “Redwood’s creation of a Boone County campus will enhance critical services to children and adults with severe and multiple disabilities. Since 1953, Redwood has been a staple of the Northern Kentucky region as a pioneer in the fi eld of educational, therapeutic and vocational services and I am delighted to welcome them as they develop a permanent presence in Boone County, further enriching our wonderful community.” “Redwood has always maintained a commitment to providing high quality services to children with complex medical needs, and now we are beyond excited to expand these services into Boone County,” stated Katrina Proud, Director of Children’s Services. “In our PPPEC program and alongside of their typically developing peers, children who are medically fragile will receive specialized nursing treatments while participating in quality early learning experiences.” Redwood Executive Director and CEO, John Francis, is eager for the opportunity to expand services. “Redwood wants to support our communities’ needs for goods and services, and we have been so fortunate to receive the strong support from our Board and key stakeholders in and around Boone County. We hope to start serving clients in August or September.” For those interested in applying for services or seeking employment, you may contact Redwood’s Fort Mitchell offi ce at 859-331-0880 or visit their web site at www.redwoodnky.org. Redwood’s mission is to guide children and adults with severe and multiple disabilities to achieve independence and to reach their highest potential by providing enriching educational, therapeutic, and vocational services. Redwood empowers children and adults to fl ourish, prosper and achieve the quality of life they deserve. The organization off ers the most comprehensive range of rehabilitation services and range of ages served in Greater Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky, serving more than 750 individuals a year in their Fort Mitchell, Kentucky facility. Redwood is an accredited facility through CARF (Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities) and NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) helping children and adults with disabilities.

Hometown column: MVP Sports Card Show This year, National Sports Collectors Convention enjoyed its highest attendance since 1991, a mark of the hobby’s returning strength. The market for the new 2020 hit cards has been fueled by new generation of young buyers. Cards are now so valued for their rarity that collectors treat them more like securities tham memorabilia. We promoted baseball cards shows in Florence, and Ft. Mitchell back in mid 80s.
The places were Signature Inn, Wildwood Inn, and Drawbridge Inn. We had Paul O’Neil, and Nick Esasky, and other Reds signing autographs. In the late 80s and early 90s, Topps gum company over produced Baseball cards and the company almost went out of business. Things are very diff erent now. The new cards are great and the older cards prices are going through the roof. A 1952 gem mint Micky Mantle is selling for over one million dollars. We are hoping to have current Reds, and X Reds to sign autographs. We are hoping to bring this back to the Florence area. We are booked at the Holiday Inn near the Florence Yall’s Baseball park April 4. Most people would be very surprised at how big this hobby/business really is. There are millions of cards sold each year on Amazon, bay, marketplace, and other online sites. There are others having baseball cards shows in Newport, and Sharonville monthly.

Historic Northern Kentucky treasure gets boost from new fund Horizon Community Funds of Northern Kentucky has joined community partners to establish the Licking River Conservation and Greenway Fund, which supports land and water conservation and greenway initiatives in the Licking River watershed. “This is an exciting, and critical, fund for us to off er Northern Kentucky,” says Horizon Community Funds President Nancy Grayson. “It shows the breadth of partnerships we’re able to create as a community foundation serving Northern Kentucky. Together, we can better address the many diverse needs of our community, including helping to preserve the natural and historical heritage of the Licking River.” Through the new fund Horizon Community Funds and supporting donors will gather fi nancial resources to invest in the conservation and stewardship of the Licking River, while helping to raise awareness of its value as a natural, historical, and economic resource. The Licking River, named for the many prehistoric salt springs and licks in the region, is a historic and natural treasure for both Northern Kentucky and the Commonwealth. With ties to Native American history, the Revolutionary War, the Underground Railroad, and the state’s original bourbon journey, the Licking River watershed also sustains a wide range of biodiversity and boasts more mussel species than the entire continent of Africa. Within the Northern Kentucky area, most of the Licking River watershed exists in Campbell and Kenton counties. Several creeks in the area act as tributaries to the river. For more information or to make a gift to the Licking River Conservation and Greenway Fund at Horizon Community Funds, visit www.horizonfunds.org or call 859-757-1552. Comments from Project Partners: Kris Knochelmann, Kenton County Judge Executive: “The Licking River is an incredible natural resource in our community. The Conservation and Greenway Fund will be another tool available to help protect this asset and make it accessible to folks for kayaking, canoeing, fi shing, hiking, camping and a whole host of outdoor activities. The work to restore and conserve the Licking River watershed will be generational, but all great eff orts start with seemingly small steps forward that compound signifi cantly over time. If you want to be a part of potentially the largest land and water conservation eff ort in Kenton County’s history, let me know. We want to work with you.” Steve Pendery, Campbell County Judge Executive: See COMMUNITY, Page 8B

COMMUNITY NEWS for supporting and facilitating investments in the conservation and health of this critical watershed that binds together a signifi cant portion of the Commonwealth.” Amy Winkler, District Coordinator of Campbell County Conservation District: “The opportunity that has arisen and made possible through the Licking River Conservation and Greenway Fund has connected numerous organizations for the purpose of land conservation and recreational uses. The Campbell County Conservation District looks forward to working with these groups through our common goal of being good stewards of the land and highlighting the natural beauty of the Licking River Corridor. Our Hawthorne Crossing Conservation Area is just one step toward conserving the Licking River corridor in Campbell County.” Chris Kaeff , Kenton County Soil & Water Conservation District: “On the map, it may serve as the offi cial boundary line between the counties, but in reality, the Licking River brings the people of Northern Kentucky together. It is an essential feature of our shared landscape, our shared heritage, and our shared future. The

“The Licking River is central to the story of Northern Kentucky. The streams of twenty-three Kentucky counties lead to this place, and hundreds of years of the Commonwealth’s history fl ow along with it. The Licking River Conservation and Greenway Fund fi lls a gap in the tools available to our community to conserve and activate this natural asset. I appreciate Horizon Community Funds’ partnership in creating this mechanism, and hope that it fulfi lls its potential to assist in conserving and restoring the watershed’s corridor. This is a long-term project, but I’m excited at the steps being taken forward and am confi dent that our younger generations will see it through and celebrate its success.” Rich Boehne, Horizon Community Funds Council of Trustees: “Setting up this conservation and greenway fund, and bringing the many tools of Horizon Community Funds to the eff ort, will be foundational in reaching long-term goals for development of the Licking River as a leading destination for recreational and environmental tourism. The fund also will be a platform
new Licking River Conservation and Greenway Fund will provide critical resources to the public agencies and nonprofi ts, on both sides of the river, who are dedicated to improving the health and vitality of this magnifi cent waterway. The Kenton County Conservation District welcomes the opportunity to work with new partners through the Fund in order to protect the natural beauty of the Morning View Heritage Area and enhance public recreational access to the river.” Donavan Hornsby, Campbell County Conservancy: “As stewards of the land, Northern Kentucky residents and stakeholders have an opportunity to elevate land conservation and stream restoration to the same level of reverence and commitment aff orded by the community to values such as public safety, education, and economic vitality. Many recognize that these core values are interdependent and crucial to our collective future. Realization of our potential as a region will require acceleration and deepening of conservation’s impacts. We greatly appreciate Horizon Community Funds’ commitment to and investment in that realization.” Tess Brown, Horizon Community Funds of NKY
