First responders mask up to face new world of COVID-19 Terry DeMio Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

At the start of every shift, they take each others’ temperatures. Anyone with a fever or possible COVID-19 symptoms is out. Then it’s time for total decontamination of ambulances. Every surface from seats to steering wheels is scrubbed, every container wiped down with disinfectant. The fl oor is mopped. Then they are ready for the 911 calls. And if you call for paramedics during the novel coronavirus pandemic, their faces might be shielded. They likely will be wearing goggles and face masks and gloves when they approach you. This is the new world of emergency response. A world of increasing safety precautions, with distance a primary rule, and a world in which rules change rapidly and continuously. “Cincinnati Fire Department, like every fi re department across the United States, we are learning things minute by minute,” said Capt. Kevin Uhl of the city’s EMS Operations Bureau. Two weeks ago, Cincinnati medics were wearing less personal protective equipment than they are today. Tomorrow, it might be more. It is not a pleasant sight for the ones who’ve called for help. “When you pull up to a house for a fall and have an N95 mask and goggles, it’s scary for people,” said fi refi ghter/ paramedic Jordan Hines, who works

for the Crescent Springs Villa Hills Fire and EMT, Erlanger Fire and Independence Fire departments in Northern Kentucky. The personal protective equipment, or PPE, can be “off -putting,” Uhl agreed. “That’s our chance to educate the public,” Crescent Springs Villa Hills fi refi ghter/EMT Dick Burns said. “On every run, we use universal precautions: Masks. Gloves. Six feet apart. Until we care for the patient. “It is a respectful thing,” Burns said. It’s not just about protecting the fi refi ghter. “We don’t want to pass along anything to them, either.” The fi rst responders ask you to remember: A fi refi ghter or paramedic,

even most of those who are infected with COVID-19, can’t be sure who has the respiratory infection and who doesn’t. Reasons for a call may be deceiving to a paramedic. “We experienced, at the infancy of this, with car wrecks (and) you’d fi nd out that they were on their way to the doctor’s offi ce for a fever,” Uhl said. In hospital parking lots, after a patient is pushed into the emergency department, Crescent Springs Villa Hills medics do “express cleaning” of the ambulances. Once back at the fi rehouse, deep-cleaning is required, said Fire Chief Jeff Wendt. In Kenton County, Homeland Security & Emergency Management Director Steve Hensley said, health offi cials, county judges executive and other agency leaders confer every morning to discuss latest needs and latest discoveries about safety and COVID-19. They alter the protocols as needed so emergency responders (and hospital staff ) remain as protected as possible. “We have a limited amount of staff ing, and our responders are our most valuable resource,” Hensley explained. So far, emergency caregivers have had enough personal protective equipment (PPE). Hensley’s agency has provided more than 100,000 pieces of personal protecSee RESPONDERS, Page 2A

Roughly 160 medical caregivers take turns during 12-hour shifts, though some cannot pull away so soon, on the St. Elizabeth Fort Thomas hospital unit for patients with COVID-19. Nurses and doctors and lab technicians, ultrasound experts, respiratory caregivers, you name it. They are on the front lines every day, every night, suited up and alert and caring for the sick on the fl oor. “Our unit,” Lee Ann Ernst calls it. She is a nurse. “I am always a nurse,” she says, but she is also coordinator of the St. Elizabeth Infectious Disease Response Team. It is this team that takes care of the COVID-19 patients at St. Elizabeth. The patients fi ll a 14-bed ICU, and there is an adjacent unit with about 20 beds, too, and while it isn’t technically an ICU, it is outfi tted with everything needed to function as one. Both areas, Ernst says, are nearly full. The patients face medical caregivers in white jumpsuits with high boot covers and three pairs of gloves, each covering the other. Each is a different color so that any tears can be spotted quickly. They all wear a PAPR (pronounced PAP-ar), or powered airpurifying respirator, which covers the head and shields the face and blows a continuous plume of air. Over the jumpsuit goes what the team jokingly calls the “blue table cloth,” a blue sheet that, Ernst says, “covers everything.” Those who enter a room in full gear plan to stay for four hours. This, Ernst says, provides for not only continuous care but bonding with the patient. “The beauty of being in a PAPR for four hours is, it does give us time to be present with the patient,” she says. These patients, who’ve surrendered their lives to her team, can see their caregiver behind the apparatus. “You can still see the nurse’s eyes,” Ernst says. “You can see a smile. See ST.

A note to readers In keeping with best practices that have been put in place across the newspaper industry, the Community Recorder is phasing out its youth carrier program and replacing it with an adult delivery force. This decision was not made lightly. The tradition of “paper boys” and “paper girls” delivering the newspaper is a nostalgic part of our history. But in the interest of youth safety, we believe it’s the right thing to do. The change will take eﬀ ect with May editions. In the meantime, please continue doing business with your youth carrier and thank them for their dedication and service. We also thank them for bringing you the Community Recorder each week and being a vital part of our team. Future editions of your newspaper will include a pre-addressed envelope for mailing your subscription payment.

NKY nurse practitioner diagnosed with COVID-19 Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Dan Mathew couldn’t taste – or smell – his pizza. “It’s not like when you have a head cold and you can inhale real deep and get a faint taste,” he said. “It’s just gone.” He knew what the loss of his two senses, paired with his cough and hospitalized wife, Renee, meant for him. An infectious disease doctor told him to treat the symptoms as if he had COVID-19, the highly contagious upper respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus. This Northern Kentucky couple, both 47, who usually found themselves managing emergency situations through work, had to battle the disease apart. Renee, a nurse practitioner at St. Elizabeth Healthcare, started to feel ill on a recent Wednesday. That’s when Dan, who works as the director of emergency communications in Kenton County, felt his symptoms begin too, he told The Enquirer. By Wednesday night, Renee’s fever got worse. Her chest ached and she had shortness of breath, she wrote on Facebook. By Saturday she was hospitalized and on that Sunday she got a positive

“You can see caring.” And the team members help each other. If a nurse needs help in turning a patient, whoever is available at that moment will jump in with expertise. They all have their specialties, but they always work together. Ernst has been the coordinator for this team for St. Elizabeth Healthcare since its inception as a response to the Ebola crisis of 2014. While more medical caregivers now grace the team, they share this long-term bond, she says, “a core group of dedicated professionals that understand how to take care of people in highly contagious environments.” She has added training to her arsenal and grown in her own expertise to protect the team and the patients. That is essential for the caregivers to survive and for the patients to get expert care. “We all rely on each other,” Ernst says. “Everyone is committed to these patients. It’s what we believe in.” An infectious disease expert, Dr. Dori Savani, kept St. E medical caregivers apprised of the power and progress of the novel coronavirus since early January, and she knew the time would come for the Infectious Disease Response Team to step in. “Once we got called in, we would be here to stay,” Ernst says. They are required to leave the hospital at a shift’s end for their own health, of course, and so they can keep going. But it’s not always easy to leave. “It’s not uncommon for members of this team to pick up extra hours,” Ernst says. When they do leave, they promise each other they will do at least one thing for themselves, she says, and not laundry or taking out the trash. She laughs because their individual “self ” care activities go the range. From having a drink to praying to weight-lifting and even, for some, “watching a little bit of TV before bed.” She goes home when she must, and

result from her COVID-19 test. The doctor told Dan since Renee tested positive, he would likely get the same result. So, Dan works from home and reminds his employees to stay home if they feel ill. He texts Renee when she’s too winded to FaceTime and he treats his symptoms. Dan is thankful his symptoms are mild.

she is glad to live close to the Fort Thomas hospital. She is a mother of three adult children with a comforting, empty house, Ernst says. Another laugh escapes before she adds, “I don’t have any trouble sleeping.” Then it is back to work. Hard work. Emotionally diﬃ cult work. Families call about their loved ones and, because no visitors are allowed in, Ernst’s team talks to them and relays messages to the patients whenever possible. And should end-of-life near, the team will make an exception for a loved one to visit the patient who is dying. The family member will be given high shoe covers and a blue, surgical mask, a face shield and gloves. And will be permitted inside to be with their loved one until death. “I never thought I’d see something like this,” she says. Ernst pauses, then adds ﬁ rmly, “Not this magnitude.”

are suff ering, the outcome of that … it’s very sad,” he said. He isn’t sure when Renee will be able to come home, and said it depends on when her dependency on supplemental oxygen is less. Renee wrote that her case has been far from mild. “I can't walk more than three steps without getting so winded that I feel like I may suff ocate. Sometimes it is hard to speak in sentences, so I lay very still in bed, get up only as necessary, and pray,” she wrote on her Facebook post that received over 2,000 comments and 4,000 shares. Nurses hung signs on the window of her room with words of encouragement, which made Renee cry, she wrote. “These nurses have worked hard and deserve all the credit they can get,” she wrote. Renee was one of the 41 confi rmed cases in Northern Kentucky, as of that Wednesday afternoon. Dan represents an unknown number of residents that have symptoms and haven’t been tested. Dan coughed – and explained “it wasn’t a surprise by any means,” that they both had the symptoms. They had been reading about the illness and knew

it would appear in Northern Kentucky. He doesn’t feel the need to get a test since there is no cure. He did insist, though, that everyone needed to take the pandemic seriously. He and Renee took it seriously and still fell ill. “It is what it is. And, it’s here and people need to start paying attention,” Dan said. “Please listen to the recommendations, stay healthy, you don't want to be where I am right now," Renee wrote. "It is a terrifying place with lots of uncertainty. I am still amazed at how fast it took me down." Editor’s note: Information included reﬂ ects this article’s original publication date – April 1.

You’ll be asked now, in Northern Kentucky, a few questions designed to screen whether you or the person you’ve called about might have COVID-19. Have you traveled outside the country in the past 14 days? That’s one, Hensley said. If a paramedic arrives at your home, she might place a mask over your nose and mouth as a fi rst step Hines said the changes just make sense in the face of a pandemic, especially one that still has unknowns.

Hospital parking lot: ‘It’s the scariest thing I’ve seen’ Terry DeMio

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Fear swept over her. She looked through her windshield as she sat in her car in the hospital parking lot. Waiting for her phone to ring. “It’s the worst thing I ever experienced,” said Kimberly Wright of Taylor Mill. She’d watched as paramedics disappeared behind the glass emergency department doors of St. Elizabeth Hospital in Edgewood with her husband, who’d fallen ill with a non-COVID-19 emergency. Visitors are restricted at hospitals during this novel coronavirus pandemic. It is for their protection, that of the patients and the healthcare workers. It is part of this current normal. Wright knew that. But she was not prepared for what it meant. “That ER parking lot was the scariest thing I’ve seen,” she said a day later.

From her car in that parking lot on March 31, she looked around and saw others sitting in their cars, waiting for a call as she waited for a doctor to call her. She wore an N95 mask and gloves. “To say I was distraught is an under-

statement,” Wright told friends through Facebook the next day. “I watched as ambulance after ambulance brought people in, and helicopters landing. “I worry about him catching this virus now,” she wrote, “and I just plain worry.” The call came, ﬁ nally, and the ER doctor was reassuring. The nurses were, too. They gently encouraged her to go home. She stayed four hours in the parking lot anyway, then put her car into drive, urging herself to heed the nurses’ advice. “It was so hard to leave and come home,” Wright said. “They are taking excellent care of him,” she quickly added. “I get updates every couple hours.” But at night, she kept thinking about the parking lot. And, of course, about her husband. “I’m trying to stay safe for him,” she said. Wright is not new to crisis. She

founded Kentucky Parents Against Heroin, a support and advocacy group for people with children with addiction. She has worked the front lines, demanding help from government leaders, volunteering to help others whose children have died and those whose kids are in active addiction. She has lived, too, through the fears of having a child with addiction, now safe in recovery. She is a crusader for public health action to save lives. And with all the confusion of the parking lot stay, Wright found herself in a familiar position again, drawn to warn others about the impact of a health crisis. This time, the crisis is COVID-19. And she is imploring people, “Stay home.” “I’m begging people to stay home,” Wright said, “so you never have to experience what I’ve been through the past 24 hours.” Editor’s note: Information included reﬂ ects this article’s original publication date – April 2.

Drive-by birthday parties a new thing for St. Henry girls Alex Harrison, Shelby Dermer and James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

High school seniors are missing out on several things right now. Those who have birthdays during this time aren’t having mass gatherings for birthday parties, so the volleyball team at St. Henry District High School improvised one for one of their own. Zoe Epplen, the senior captain of the volleyball team, turned 18 on March 31. Members of the team drove down her street in a caravan and yelled “Happy birthday” to her, with some leaving gifts. “As a close-knit group, some of the SHDHS volleyball coaches and teammates were able to meet and do a driveby birthday party...social distancing style,” St. Henry head coach Maureen Kaiser said. “We all miss our volleyball family and was good to see each other even if it was through a car window.” Epplen, an outside hitter, has com-

mitted to play for Northern Kentucky University in the fall. She led the Crusaders to a 24-13 record this season, 34th District championship, and Ninth Region runner-up status. She was second on the team in kills and blocks. She had helped the Crusaders to the Ninth Region championship during her sophomore and junior seasons. The team went 65-19 combined in those two seasons.

Celebrate Easter with coﬀ ee cake, deviled eggs

A cinnamon coffee cake is a perfect treat for Easter.

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

PHOTOS BY RITA HEIKENFELD

As I write this column, we are still sheltering in place. And thinking about Easter. Maybe you are, too. Instead of our annual Easter brunch and egg hunt, we’ll be celebrating on a smaller scale. Yet there’s still much to feel blessed about. Just take a walk outside. Check out the beautiful wild violets and blooming forsythia (they both make lovely jellies). Trees are bursting with buds and blooms. Reconnect. You know, friends and family are still there, and now’s the time for catch up. I worked several hours in my herb garden and was happy to see my mom’s heirloom peppermint pushing through the soil. Mother Nature is doing her part and we will do ours. How about baking a coﬀ ee cake? While you’re boiling eggs to color, boil extra. Add deviled eggs to your Easter menu. Both recipes use easy to ﬁ nd ingredients.

Coffee cake with pecan cinnamon streusel America’s Test Kitchen always comes up with genius ideas, like adding a little water to streusel topping and sprinkling it on the edges ﬁ rst to make it adhere better.

1 teaspoon cinnamon

This uses the food processor for both cake and topping. It’s baked in a 9” springform pan and freezes well. Here’s my slight adaptation from their recipe.

1 2⁄ 3 cups flour

INGREDIENTS

Deviled eggs add a festive touch to any occasion.

Simple deviled eggs No real recipe, but for every 6 eggs, mix yolks with 1⁄ 4 cup mayonnaise and a squirt of mustard. Add more mayonnaise if necessary. Season to taste.

Streusel 1 cup pecans or other nuts, toasted (if you’re out, omit and then when cake cools, drizzle a powdered sugar glaze over streusel) ⁄ 3 cup packed brown sugar

⁄ 2cup flour

4 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled 1 teaspoon water Cake 1 cup sugar 1 1⁄ 2 teaspoons cinnamon 1 teaspoon baking powder ⁄ 2 teaspoon baking soda

⁄ 2 teaspoon salt

1 stick butter, cut into 8 pieces and softened ⁄ 4 cup milk

1 large egg plus 1 large yolk 2 teaspoons vanilla INSTRUCTIONS Preheat oven to 350.

Grease and flour 9” springform pan and place on baking sheet. Streusel Process nuts and sugar in food processor until ﬁ nely ground. Add flour and cinnamon and pulse to combine. Add melted butter and water and pulse until mixture begins to form clumps. Remove and set aside. Cake Process flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, soda and salt until combined. Add butter and pulse until very small but visible pieces of butter remain. Add milk, egg, yolk and vanilla. Pulse until dry ingredients are moistened.

Scrape sides. Pulse until mixture is well combined — some small pieces of butter will remain. Pour into pan and smooth top. Starting at edges of pan, sprinkle streusel evenly over batter. Bake until center is ﬁ rm and skewer inserted into it comes out clean, 45-50 minutes or so. Place on wire rack, cool 15 minutes, then remove ring and cool completely. Transfer cake to platter, cut into wedges and serve. No springform pan? Use a 9” cake pan and leave in pan to serve.

Feds, police warn of coronavirus test kit scams Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Area police and federal agencies are warning people not to fall for COVID-19 scams, whether door-to-door or over the phone or the internet. The Federal Communications System has shared examples of a test kit phone scam and other novel coronavirus hoaxes on its website at fcc.gov/covid-scams . The website also warns of novel coronavirus text message scams. The U.S. Postal Service's Inspection Service has warned people on its website that scammers have identiﬁ ed the public’s concern as a target for scams and fraud.

In Northern Kentucky, Erlanger Police Department issued a warning on Facebook to watch out for people trying to sell COVID-19 test kits. An incident in nearby Independence referenced in Erlanger's Facebook post as a potential scam turned out to be a medical incident where there was no intent to profi t or alarm people, police offi cials said. Erlanger wanted to warn people now of the potential of people dressing up as police offi cers or medical professionals trying to sell COVID-19 test kits, said offi cer Charlie Loudermilk. Area hospitals have set up screening areas for new coronavirus with testing capability, and they are not for everyone, hospital offi cials said in a March 24 Enquirer article.

"Thankfully it’s not in our area of people dressing up as police and trying to sell these things," Loudermilk said. Scam calls remain an issue, and people should not give out personal information in response to a phone solicitation, he said. In addition to potential novel coronavirus scam phone calls, there is a scam going around asking people to enter their social security number or credit card number into a website. One clue it's a scam is if the internet address domain doesn't end in .gov. Another clue is that social security numbers and credit card numbers shouldn't be asked for or given out by people in response to solicitations, he said.

Judge Gentry misconduct hearing rescheduled for summer Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

What is Gentry charged with?

Kenton County Family Court Judge Dawn Gentry's misconduct hearing was rescheduled for Aug. 10, according to court documents from the Judicial Conduct Commission. Gentry was set to appear in a Northern Kentucky court April 20 for her misconduct hearing about the state's claims that she used sex, campaign ﬁ nances and retaliation as tools in her judgeship. The Judicial Conduct Commission, the entity that can punish sitting judges, agreed to postpone the hearing in March due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. The hearing will take place over ﬁ ve days, according to court documents. ❚ Where: Campbell County Courthouse at 330 York St., Newport ❚ When: 8:30 a.m. Aug. 10, 2020

1. Coercion to participate in judicial campaign. 2. Retaliation for failure to support the judicial campaign. 3. Facilities and time sheet falsifi cation. 4. Retaliation against school employees. 5. Held meetings with her Guardian Ad Litem panel, guardians that a court appoints to watch after someone during a case, without inviting private attorneys who also represented individuals in the case. 6. Harassment and retaliation against Katherine Schulz 7. Inappropriate hiring and relationship with Stephen Penrose. 8. Hiring and appointing court staff not based on merit. 9. Failure to be candid and honest with the commission. Gentry denied almost all charges, according to court documents. During her Louisville-based temporary removal hearing, she admitted there was one inappropriate joke she received and did not reply to on Snapchat and that she appointed "acquaintances" to family court positions that handled custody cases.

Gentry's misconduct case In December, the commission made public its investigation into the judge's conduct and claimed the judge used sex, campaign contributions and retaliation as tools in her judgeship. Gentry, 39, became a judge in 2016 when former Gov. Matt Bevin picked her to ﬁ ll a vacancy. Gentry, who makes $136,900 a year, was elected to a four-yearterm in 2018. In January, the Republican judge, was temporarily suspended with pay from the bench after a nine-hour hearing in Louisville.

Like many accomplished quarterbacks, Tanner Morgan sees himself as a football coach as well. Morgan has a whiteboard at his Northern Kentucky home, which he currently uses during online meetings with his coaches and teammates. Online meetings through meeting software such as Zoom are the only sessions Morgan and his University of Minnesota teammates can have right now as they are back in their hometowns due to the novel coronavirus. “If I’m teaching things in our installs, I’ll write it up on there,” Morgan said April 1 during a conference call with media members. Morgan, a redshirt sophomore last season, and the Golden Gophers are coming oﬀ an outstanding 2019 season. Minnesota went 11-2, ﬁ nishing 7-2 in the Big Ten. That included a nationally televised home win over then-fourth ranked Penn State. The Gophers beat Auburn in the Outback Bowl. Morgan threw for 3,253 yards and 30 touchdowns against only seven interceptions. He completed 66 percent of his passes. Against Penn State, he threw for 339 yards and three touchdowns. He threw for 396 yards and four touchdowns in a win at Purdue. In the bowl game against Auburn, he threw for 278 yards and two scores.

In other games, he was ruthlessly efﬁ cient and didn’t have to throw much while the Gophers punished opponents on the ground, rushing for over 300 yards. Morgan earned a spot on the preliminary ballot for the Heisman Trophy for his eﬀ orts. Morgan was at home on spring break when colleges began shutting down

due to the pandemic. Other than leaving his laptop in Minneapolis, Morgan has been adjusting well to staying at home. “I’m very blessed and fortunate to have a good family to help out with that stuﬀ , to have access to things,” Morgan said. “I can work out in a parking lot. I See MORGAN, Page 2B

Florence Y’alls opening day postponed from May 14 James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Florence Y’alls, presented by Towne Properties, recently announced the postponement of their 2020 opening day. The Frontier League announced the league will be oﬃ cially delaying the scheduled May 14 start of the 2020 Frontier League season, due to the novel coronavirus. The league, which is the largest independent baseball league in North America, will continue to monitor the situation, and announce a start date for the 2020 season at the appropriate time. “The safety of our Fans, Players and Team employees is our highest priority at this time” saidLeague Commissioner Bill Lee. “We are committed to doing everything in our power to play baseball in 2020 and will continue to track the pandemic as well as federal, state and local social distancing requirements in all of our markets.” The Y’alls are still working towards a 2020 season whenever it may begin.

“We all remain hopeful for Y’alls baseball in 2020,” said Florence VP/ General Manager Josh Anderson. “Obviously the safety of our fans comes ﬁ rst, but in the meantime we are working behind the scenes to prepare the best we can to be the place for aﬀ ordable

family fun and entertainment to the Northern Kentucky community in a time I know we could all use it.” The Frontier League has also announced the delay of the league's annual tryout camp and draft scheduled for April 27-28 in Avon, Ohio.

“It is our goal to hold our tryout camp, spring training and start our season as soon as possible”, saidCommissioner Lee. “Our Board of Directors is meeting weekly to monitor and discuss the situation, and we will provide updates as the pandemic progresses. We ask all of our fans, players and staff members to follow the recommendations of federal, state and their local health offi cials, in hopes of slowing the spread of this virus.” Debuting in 1993, the Frontier League is the largest and longest-running of the modern independent leagues and features teams stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River and from the Ohio River to the St. Lawrence Seaway. The league expanded from nine teams to 14 in the off season, with the new additions coming from New York and Canada. The Florence Freedom offi cially changed its team name to the Y'alls earlier this year. The team reached the league championship fi nals last season, falling in the decisive game fi ve.

I’m blessed to have a supportive family to help out.” In addition to his normal classwork, Morgan and his coaches and teammates have regular online meetings. Morgan has to adjust to a new off ensive coordinator, Mike Sanford, who joins the staff after being the head coach at Western Kentucky the past two seasons. “I’m just striving for mastery of our system and breaking down our opponents for the fall,” Morgan said. “The coaches are ahead of schedule in breaking down our opponents for the fi rst part of the 2020 season. The experience is huge. Our off ensive unit played a lot of football at a high level. I’m blessed to have played a decent amount of football, but there are always ways to get better.” Sanford mentored standout quarterback Deshone Kizer while he was at Notre Dame. “He’s a phenomenal relationship

breaking opponents down.” While at home, Morgan spends some of his free time ﬁ shing at a pond in his backyard. He has a home gym and plenty of space to work on his throwing skills.

“I’m a routine-driven person,” Morgan said. “It’s important to establish a routine, waking up at the same time. Sticking to a plan. Our staff has given us a rough plan and you have to fi t in academic plans. You have to stay busy, you can’t allow yourself time to get bored. It’s a great opportunity to grow, not just watch Netfl ix all day. It’s also an opportunity to grow spiritually." Morgan was second team All-Big Ten last year and two-time conference player of the week. At Ryle, he threw for more than 5,400 yards and 48 touchdowns in two seasons with the Raiders after posting similar numbers in two seasons at Hazard. He is one of nine quarterbacks in Kentucky history with more than 10,000 passing yards and 100 touchdown passes. He said online instruction is going well. “It’s a tribute to the president of the university and how they planned it, on down to the professors, fi nding ways to help the students learn,” Morgan said. “A lot of people have found it benefi cial and it’s great to see the state of Minnesota come together. The most important thing is the health of our country. We’re going to prepare like we’re playing on Sept. 3 and control what we can control."

COMMUNITY NEWS Loving our neighbors: One roll of toilet paper at a time Calvary Baptist Church, located in the Latonia neighborhood of Covington, had the privilege of distributing 9,600 rolls of toilet paper to our neighbors in the midst of this Coronavirus Crisis. The crisis hit and the shelves went empty, just as Calvary was considering a tangible way to love others. Who knew the gold bar of the spring of 2020 would be toilet paper? A closed business entity gave Calvary the opportunity to purchase an incoming load of inventory for distribution. Some one hundred families from our congregation were given product for their family and as many four packs of toilet paper that they would give to their neighbors. The neighbor pack came with an invitation to hope through knowing Jesus Christ and an invitation to our on-line Easter service (Facebook live: Calvary Baptist Covington and www.cbcky.org, 10:30 a.m.) with the theme of “The Power of Hope.” Teams of Calvary volunteers gave out the remaining ﬁ ve thousand rolls of toilet paper on Saturday, March 29. We were able to share with 1300 homes. What a joy for us to share this encouragement with our neighbors. Jesus is good news to the world. For all of us, this Easter could not be more timely. There is hope. Securing and passing out this common staple to our friends and neighbors was Calvary’s joyful privilege this Easter season. Eric Mounts, Calvary Baptist Church

Due to COVID-19 – NKY Girl Scouts ask local businesses to buy nearly 50,000 surplus boxes of cookies ERLANGER, Ky. – Girl Scouts of Kentucky’s Wilderness Road (GSKWR) relies heavily on cookie sales as they represent over 80% of its annual operating budget and provide girls and their troops the opportunity to set goals and earn their own money, used to fund rigorous programs and growth opportunities. Because GSKWR Girl Scouts must sell cookies door-to-door and at public gathering places, the impact of actions around the COVID-19 pandemic have halted all direct cookie sales. GSKWR currently has warehouse locations throughout the State of Kentucky housing the 3,900 cases (46,800 boxes) of surplus cookies that must be sold.

Companies throughout Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati, large and small, are urged to purchase cases of cookies to support front-line workers in healthcare, restaurant businesses, manufacturing, distribution and any other essential businesses or organizations that continue to work during the COVID-19 crisis, or to donate to food banks or senior facilities to support vulnerable populations. “Our Girl Scout Troops actually came up with the idea to drive a call to action to the Kentucky business community to buy cookies to thank employees and help support all the local social service agencies”, said Haleigh McGraw, Communications Director, Girl Scouts of Kentucky’s Wilderness Road. “Our hope is that the business community will step up and buy all of our surplus inventory so that we can continue to serve our 8,000 K-12 girl members throughout Central, Eastern and Northern Kentucky”, she continued. GSKWR is asking businesses to support its Kentucky Cookie Entrepreneurs by purchasing as many cases as they can, with a minimum of 5 cases for $ 250. By earning their own money through cookie sales, Kentucky Girl Scouts open the door to unlimited growth opportunities – from adventure-packed camping and canoeing, to exploring space science and taking meaningful action to improve their communities. Troops learn goal setting, ﬁ nancial literacy and entrepreneurship skills through the Girl Scout Cookie Program. Revenue from the Girl Scout Cookie Program maintains GSKWR property and provides programming on 4 camp properties, provides ﬁ nancial assistance to more than 2,500 girls, training to nearly 4,000 volunteers, and other Girl Scout activities throughout the year. To purchase cases of cookies with a $ 250 minimum, go to www.gskentucky.org/cookie-relief or, contact Tammy Durham, Director of Grants and Community Partnerships at tdurham@gswrc.org.

People who experience a traumatic event like COVID-19 and even those who watch it unfold from a distance, on television for example, can experience negative stress and Mason serious emotional distress. This is because traumatic events are recognized as a threat to one’s personal safety or the world as we know it. It is also not uncommon for traumatic events to leave us with unanswered questions and uncertainty. Responding to these situations in a productive manner can help us become stronger individuals and better community and family members. For example, try not to compare yourself to others, as no two people will respond to traumatic events and changes to daily routines the same way. Some people may panic or feel so numb or overwhelmed that they don’t even know how to respond, while others respond with anxiety or feel as if they’ve lost control. Others may experience grief and disbelief. Common reactions to trauma also include rapid heartbeat, sweating, changes in daily activity and sleeping and eating patterns, sensitivity to lights and sounds, increased conﬂ ict in relationships, headaches and nausea. It is not uncommon for children to experience bed-wetting. According to the CDC, many people do not start feeling “normal” again for See COMMUNITY, Page 4B

weeks or even months after a traumatic event ends. If stress symptoms persist or get worse, a person could be suﬀ ering from post-traumatic stress disorder, and a medical or mental health professional should be contacted for consultation and follow-up. Research has shown that moving forward and working at resolving one’s feelings at the time of a traumatic event is beneﬁ cial. This helps a person re-establish a sense of safety and trust. In a time of tragedy, be there for each other. Practice patience and understanding with your family members, friends and co-workers. Realize the additional stress may make them more irritable than normal. At times family members and friends may feel helpless—not knowing what to do or how to help, but sometimes just being available is more help than you realize. If someone wants to talk to you about their feelings and experience, encourage them and let them share. If you cannot meet face-to-face, use social media or exchange phone calls or handwritten letters in the mail. Be careful not to force people to talk about their feelings or share information about the traumatic event if they are not ready. It can also be helpful to be sure that a person is educated about the situation so that stress is not rising over assumptions and rumors. Preferred outlets for information regarding na-

tional and statewide events include the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website .cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html and the statewide page, chfs.ky.gov/agencies/ dph/pages/covid19.aspx. Be a friend to yourself and others. Check on relatives who live alone. Even in times of social distancing, a phone call can go a long way in making someone feel loved. Recognize that you and your family and friends will likely experience new or diﬀ erent emotions after everything returns to normal and that it will take time to heal. The CDC recommends individuals maintain their usual routine as much as possible, be kind, turn to family, friends and community members for support and recognize when things are out of control and help is needed. The American Psychological Association recommends engaging in healthy behaviors such as eating wellbalanced meals, staying physically active, sleeping and practicing stress-relief through relaxation and meditation.

4-H is committed to helping our youth learn to serve others A desire to serve others is a concept Kentucky 4-H thrives to encourage its members to practice. Serving others teaches 4H’ers about the chalFarley lenges and issues their community faces and gives them a chance to make a positive impact. 4-H’ers commit their hands to larger service as part of the offi cial 4-H pledge said at every club meeting. Young people learn about two major types of service that allow them to make a positive impact in their community. The fi rst one is service learning. Through service learning, 4-H’ers take ownership and responsibility for a community project of their choosing. This process requires them to identify a need or an issue, develop a plan for addressing it and then execute their plan. By performing this type of service project, 4-H members learn how to become leaders and to be active in their community. The second type of service is community service. This type is focused on a fulfi lling a predetermined need in the community and is a great way for 4-H’ers learn about their community and the issues it faces. Through these experiences, 4-H’ers

are making a positive impact in their communities. A 10-year-long, nationwide study showed that 4-H’ers in grades seventh through 12th are nearly four times more likely than their peers to make contributions to their communities, and 4-H members in grades eighth through 12th are two times more likely to be civically active compared to their peers. In the past year in Kentucky, service projects helped more than 21,000 young people learn how to take responsibility for their own actions and allowed more than 11,500 youth to become better leaders. Nearly 3,300 4-H members are taking service a step further and are mentoring younger youth. On November 25, 2019, 30 teens from across the county devoted 2 hours to making a community service project happen for needy families. The teens made fl eece blankets for the Brighton Center in Newport to distribute to needy youth and senior citizens. To fi nd out how your young person can get involved with 4-H, contact the Campbell County Extension offi ce at 859-572-2600 or check out the website at: campbell.ca.uky.edu/ Sherri Farley is a Campbell County 4-H Agent.

SCHOOL NEWS Snap shot of success Florence Elementary is always encouraging students to succeed. During our midyear assembly, the 4th and 5th graders were acknowledged for their academic success from this year and last year’s state KPREP testing results. Students who received a distinguished or profi cient rating in math, science, social studies and reading were given recognition and certifi cates for their progress. During the assembly, student recognition included perfect attendance, leadership awards, and KPREP distinguish and profi ciency levels. The assembly included 2nd grade students singing a “Leader in Me” song and two leaders from each class throughout the school were recognized for demonstrating one of the 7 habits within the classroom setting. The students are currently preparing to enter the state testing window in late May. To support the continual growth of student learning, the entire student body participates in CASE assessment three times a year. Students are applying their knowledge and skills while practicing the strategies they have been taught to master content standards. Administration and teachers analysis the student data and make instructional changes to support student learning. Our students are growing and learning each day and recognition of their efforts was evident. Kathy Kuhn, Florence Elementary
