Stimulus sends nearly $43 million to CVG to stay operational

typically requires a matching amount, but the CARES Act money will not require any match, according to the release. “Kentucky’s network of world-class airports drive our economy and support good jobs. As our country faces the health and economic crisis of the coronavirus, we must maintain these critical features of Kentucky’s infrastructure,” Sen. McConnell said in the release. “When this crisis is over, our Common-

wealth will be ready to once again take ﬂ ight. As Senate Majority Leader, I was proud to keep Kentucky’s priorities— including our airports and their workers—at the center of the national discussion.” The release does not state what operational functions the money will fund at CVG. “CVG, like all airports and businesses across the country, has been hit hard by the pandemic,” said Candace McGraw, CVG’s CEO in the release. “I am truly grateful for the leadership of Senator Mitch McConnell to include airport funding in the CARES Act, which is providing necessary economic relief to many struggling industries and families in Kentucky and across the country. “ McGraw continued to say that airports keep people connected and ensure the economy remains moving – particularly in times of crisis. “Airports assure those with an essential need to travel can do so and that our air cargo partners can facilitate the movement of needed supplies,” McGraw said in the release. “Airport relief funds provided by the CARES Act are a lifeline to allow airports to remain operational.”

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 effect with July 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 Re-

The federal $2.2 trillion stimulus passed amidst the novel coronavirus pandemic will bring nearly $43 million to Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG), according to a release from U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s oﬃ ce. Airports around Kentucky received $77.2 million from the Federal Aviation Administration because of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, according to the release. CVG, and the airports serving Louisville and Lexington will receive the bulk of the money, nearly $74 million in combined funding. Louisville’s airport will receive more than $21 million, and the Blue Grass Airport in Lexington will receive just under $10 million. The CARES Act already sent $800 million to Kentucky communities and organizations to address urgent housing, transportation, healthcare, education and economic development priorities, according to the release. The money for 55 Kentucky airports will come from the FAA’s Airport Improvement Program (AIP). AIP funding

Akilah Hughes could choose several diff erent answers for the “occupation” space on the 1040 form. “Writer” would work. In September, Penguin published “Obviously: Stories from My Timeline.” The book in part details Hughes’ experiences growing up in Northern Kentucky, where she attended Boone County High School. “Actor” works, too. Last month, Hughes made her debut on the Fox animated sitcom “Bob’s Burgers,” providing the voice for the character Theresa. This month, Comedy Central is rolling out three video shorts starring Hughes. There’s also “journalist.” Hughes hosts the “What A Day” daily news podcast. But maybe “comedian” is the best term. During a phone call from her home in Los Angeles, Hughes off ered a defi nition of what it means to be a comic. Question: Did you like going to Boone County? Answer: It’s such a complicated question. I liked Boone County High School. I think it was a great high school experience. There was once an article that I wrote for Fusion about going back to my high school reunion, and it got published in The Enquirer, and there was a giant confederate fl ag behind my head, and then my mom started getting death threats. And so when I think about it now, I think it somehow feels even worse to think about. Q: Why did you choose to go to Berea College? A: Berea is an awesome place. It’s a very cool school and town. It’s this tiny liberal bubble in the red state of Kentucky. There wasn’t a lot to do. It forced See HUGHES, Page 2A

A Kentucky lawsuit accuses Governor Andy Beshear and state and county officials of violating religious freedom with COVID-19 restrictions. MATT STONE/COURIER JOURNAL

Religious freedom violated in COVID-19 orders, 3 Kentuckians say in suit Julia Fair

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Three Kentuckians, including one from Boone County, who attended Easter Sunday services near Louisville fi led a federal lawsuit against Gov. Andy Beshear and other state and county offi cials. The suit accused the offi cials of violating religious freedom with COVID-19 restrictions to prevent the spread of the highly contagious virus. The lawsuit, which was fi led April 14 in the U.S. District Court in Covington, is against Beshear, Boone County Attorney Robert Neace and acting Secretary of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services Eric Friedlander, according to court records. The lawsuit seeks class action status and argues the government offi cials went "too far." As of Tuesday, April 14, 115 of the 2,210 Kentuckians who contracted COVID-19 had died. "This opportunity to worship, which is so important, is still there," Beshear said Wednesday, April 15 at a press conference. "We just ask folks to choose one that doesn’t spread the coronavirus." He said many churches in Kentucky have held virtual and drive-thru services as alternatives during the pandemic. "Folks, here in Kentucky, there are so many diff erent ways to worship," Beshear said."All but one church in the Commonwealth are engaged in them." The plaintiff s in the case, TJ Roberts, Randall Daniel, and Sally O’Boyle, attended Easter Sunday services at Maryville Baptist Church near Louisville. When they left the church, they found “Quarantine and Prosecution” notices on their cars, according to the lawsuit. On Easter, Kentucky State troopers placed quarantine notices on parishioners' cars and wrote down their license numbers in the Maryville Baptist Church parking lot, according to the Courier-Journal. Inside the church, roughly 50 worshipers ignored Beshear's order against mass gatherings during the coronavirus pandemic so they could attend services together on Christianity's holiest day. Each plaintiff noted that attending church is central to their faith, according to the lawsuit. “In his evening briefi ngs, the Governor made clear that he was going to target religious services for these notices, apart from other gatherings. Based on the activity of the Kentucky State Police on April 12, 2020, the Governor carried out his threat,” the lawsuit states. The three plaintiff s live in diff erent parts of Kentucky. Roberts lives in Burlington in Boone County, Daniel lives in Bullitt County and O'Boyle lives in Rowan County. They included Boone County Attor-

ney Robert Neace in the lawsuit because he is "authorized to bring and fi le misdemeanor cases" in Boone County. "He is sued in his offi cial capacity only, and is sued in a representative offi cial capacity ... for all other county attorneys in the Commonwealth of Kentucky." The Kentuckians who fi led the suit want a court declaration that challenges the COVID-19 orders as unconstitutional and that the court issue “permanent injunctive relief to prohibit enforcement of the challenged orders.” Christopher Wiest, a lawyer based in Crestview Hills in Northern Kentucky, fi led the lawsuit, according to court records. In 2016, Wiest was suspended from practicing law for two years by the Ohio Supreme Court for "dishonest or deceptive conduct" in violation Ohio rules for professional conduct. He was charged because he used confi dential client information to profi t from stock he purchased in a company that his client later acquired, according to court records in the 6th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. The religious freedom lawsuit is the second federal lawsuit fi led against Beshear to come out of Northern Kentucky. Earlier this month, a woman from Campbell County fi led a federal lawsuit in Covington against Beshear and Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron over the travel ban order. That lawsuit fi led by Allison S. Alessandro challenges the order is an unconstitutional infringement on the rights of Kentuckians to travel outside of the state, which is "a fundamental right fi rmly embedded in this nation’s jurisprudence." The lawsuit said Alessandro now fears traveling to Ohio "due to uncertainty over whether she will be detained or otherwise punished" as a result of the order. "I haven't read it, I'm not worried about it, and we will win it," Beshear said about the travel ban suit in early April. The Courier-Journal contributed to this report.

us to be so creative and weird, and I feel like I really grew as a person, because you could try stuff and fail and it’s not the end of the world. I exploded with creativity. I wanted to learn how to code and be a better photographer, so I could make my Myspace page look better. I wanted to learn how to make videos, so I could go ahead and do these terrible skits and sketches online that 100 people might see, and that’ll be enough. I don’t think that I would have the career that I have now if it wasn’t for Berea. Q: You graduated in 2010 and moved to New York in 2012. Did you spend any of that in-between time in Cincinnati? A: I actually had an interview at the Museum Center. Did not get the job. Q: That’s going in the paper. A: Yeah, you tell ‘em. I think they should feel bad. They messed up. I was really kind of bummed about that. I worked at the Florence Mall at a Justice, which is like Limited Too, like a little kids’ sparkle store, for about a month. And then I started working at Alpine Valley Water and Coff ee, and that’s a Cincinnati-based awesome water company that just needed marketing, and I was a just-chipperenough 21, 22-year-old to get that job, and I built all the social media pages. I don’t know if they still use any of them. Q: Do you miss Cincinnati? A: Cincinnati is my entire being. New York is the external love of my life, but I don’t think I would be at all who I am, or make the jokes that I make, or even had the success that I had, if it weren’t for growing up in the Cincinnati area. It’s an area that’s often overlooked. I think a lot of the reason I’ve been successful is because my voice sounds original to people out here in Los Angeles, and in New York, and to people who are making media. I also think that in terms of what people think about the Midwest-South, right where it intersects, they’re not thinking about a black girl who grew up poor making it somewhere. Representation matters, but in a diff erent way than people think. The perspective matters. Q: Was “Meet Your First Black Girlfriend” (the 2013 YouTube video

with more than 1.7 million views) the fi rst thing to put you on the radar? A: Yeah. That was for sure the fi rst truly viral video I had. In terms of, I wrote this, it has a real impact, and it hit immediately, that was really the thing. And it’s honestly shocking to me how far it has taken me. Q: What would you settle on as the title of your occupation? A: I say “a lot of stuff .” I would say that I’m a comedian, and it manifests across so many diff erent platforms and forms of media. I’m just a funny person that’s trying to continue to get paid for being funny. Q: Is being a comedian the same as being someone who creates funny content? A: No, it is not. Because I think you can create funny content without it being intentional. If you’re trying to be funny, that is closer to the direction of being a comedian. But I think a comedian’s job is to be incredibly observant, so that we’re noticing things that others are not, and to that end, pointing out the absurdity of something that maybe people don’t stop to think about. All of my favorite comedians are great at it. Q: I had thought of you as a content creator and thought of comedians as someone who begins a career as a standup comic. A: I think the path to being a more traditional media comedian has changed. One of my favorite comedians is Bo Burnham. He started on YouTube making ridiculous dumb songs that were jokey that we loved in college. He had the opportunity to make a TV show. It got canceled. And then he has this amazing standup special. And then he has another one. And then he’s directing Chris Rock’s standup special. And he puts out the movie “Eighth Grade,” and it’s like, now there’s Oscar buzz for this guy who was a content creator. The same is true for Donald Glover, Justin Bieber. You can make things for the internet, but the end game isn’t that. Q: What’s your end game? A: Oh, man. I want it all. I want to write a show. I want to star in it. I want to write shows and sell them. I want to be Phoebe Waller-Bridge. I want to be “Fleabag,” but in America and black. I want everything. I want it all. Q: And you’ll get it, I assume? A: Yeah, I think so. I mean, that, or the world will end. Whatever happens fi rst.

A life before the coronavirus: 96-year-old Navy veteran remembered

Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Harold Hayes, 96, lived through the Great Depression, enlisted in the Navy during World War II and loved to watch his children play sports. On April 2, Hayes died from COVID-19, the highly contagious upper respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus, according to his obituary. He loved coff ee ice cream from Schneider’s Homemade Candies in Bellevue, his daughter-in-law’s homemade triple berry cobbler and routinely exercised well into his 90s. As of Thursday, 18 people in Northern Kentucky had died from COVID-19, according to the Northern Kentucky Health Department. “He did a good job of having a balanced life,” Hayes’ 64-year-old son Ken Hayes told The Enquirer. Harold grew up in Boston. In the 1600s, his family immigrated to the United States from Scotland and built a house in Dover, New Hampshire. Ken used to visit that house when he was a kid, he said. Living through the Great Depression had a lasting impact on his dad, Ken said. Harold’s dad lost a year’s worth of salary from his savings during that era. Harold’s motivation to own a car and a house for his family stemmed from the fact that his parents couldn’t aff ord either, Ken said. As he worked to earn a degree at college to fulfi ll that goal, World War II interrupted his studies. Harold enlisted in the Navy and trained to be on an underwater demolition team. This was before the scuba tank was invented in 1942, Ken explained. So Harold conditioned himself to be able to swim up to a concrete barrier, place a stick of dynamite near it and swim fast enough away from the pending explosion back to the boat. Then, a hernia prevented Harold from using that skill in battle, Ken said. Harold never expressed it, but Ken felt his dad’s time in the Navy cut short

was one of his disappointments. “He was a patriot, he wanted to do his patriotic duty,” Ken said. “That was the attitude of his generation.” Harold went back to school and earned his degree. Soon after graduating, he met his wife, Elizabeth. They married when Harold was 27 and Elizabeth was 25. They were proud of their marriage that spanned seven decades, Ken said. Together, Harold and Elizabeth had four kids and got to meet their greatgrandkids as well. “Dad was an unusual dad,” Ken said. Harold played football in the backyard and basketball in the front yard with them, Ken remembered. Harold always jogged even when the other dads didn’t, Ken said. “People used to say ‘who’s the old man jogging around the track’,” Ken said. When Ken graduated from college, he joined his dad on occasional jogs. Harold took the kids camping in ipstate New York, where he and Elizabeth started to raise their family. Once, Ken remembers, they camped out at the Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.

Eventually, Harold moved his family to Louisville when his job with General Electric was transferred. One of Ken’s brothers was still in college in New York, where he played freshman year football. Harold once drove over 12 hours to watch his son play football there, Ken said. Ken moved his parents to Northern Kentucky as they got older. In 2013, they moved into the St. Charles Community nursing home in Fort Wright. Ken’s mom, Elizabeth, still lives at the nursing home. The family had creative plans to celebrate her 95th birth-

They won’t be able to visit her in person due to COVID-19 visitor restriction, but Ken said they hoped to see her through a window. “They had a lot of pride in the fact that they raised a good family,” Ken said.

Judge Dawn Gentry: COVID-19 restrictions stopped impeachment probe, lawmakers say curred in the state's history, according to a 1991 report on impeachment from the Legislative Research Commission. Two of those impeached were convicted by the Kentucky Senate. This is the second instance of the public health pandemic having an eﬀ ect on the investigations into the judge. Gentry's misconduct hearing with the Judicial Conduct Commission was rescheduled from April 20 to Aug.10 due to COVID-19.

Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Embattled Kenton County Family Court Judge Dawn Gentry won't be impeached by Kentucky's legislature this year. The committee on impeachment formed in February was unable to complete its investigation into the judge before the legislative session ended Wednesday, April 15. COVID-19 restrictions at the capital building prevented the committee from completing its work or decide if it should send articles of impeachment to the Kentucky House, according to committee chairman Rep. Jason Petrie, R-Elkton. "The judge’s thoughts and prayers go out to all persons suff ering as a result of the coronavirus pandemic," Gentry's Louiville-based attorney Todd Lewis told The Enquirer in an email Thursday. "She is particularly disappointed that her opportunity to vindicate herself before the General Assembly was lost this year, but she plans to do exactly that in an upcoming trial before the Judicial Conduct Commission later this summer." Lewis added that Gentry's legal team is "confi dent" that the commission hearingwill give the General Assembly an opportunity to understand that the articles of impeachment aren't merited and that the legislature's inquiry was a "wildly disproportionate response to the allegations against her." "The judge is concerned that complaints against her have created a signifi cant public misimpression, but plans to present her defense in the courtroom, the forum she has always believed in," Lewis said in the email. The committee on impeachment formed a few months after the Kentucky Judicial Conduct Commission, the entity that can punish sitting judges, started its own process to investigate the judge's misconduct. In December, the commission made public its nine misconduct charges against the judge that accused her of using sex, campaign contributions and retaliation as tools in her judgeship. In February, Kentucky lawmakers moved ahead with the possible impeachment of the judge. Rep. Joseph Fischer, R-Fort Thomas, fi led a resolu-

tion to appoint a committee to determine if there was suﬃ cient evidence to impeach Gentry. Fischer, who represents parts of Campbell County, relied on the commission's charges to make his case for impeachment against his fellow Republican. "The inquiry is another casualty of the COVID-19 restrictions," Fischer told The Enquirer in an email Wednesday, April 15. "Since we must adjourn the 2020 session tonight, the House cannot complete its constitutional duty until next session. During the interim, the General Assembly will closely follow the Judicial Conduct Commission proceedings in this case." During its investigation, the committee ﬁ led multiple subpoenas and collected hundreds of documents and multiple videos from people and entities, Petrie told The Enquirer in an email April 15. The committee ran out of time to conduct live testimony needed to complete its investigation.

"Due to restrictions put in place by the Governor and precautions taken by the General Assembly in response to COVID-19, the Impeachment Committee was unable to depose live witnesses and complete its investigation," Petrie said. The legislature was one of the few in the nation that decided not to postpone active sessions as COVID-19 cases rose. More than 20 state legislatures have canceled or postponed active sessions because of the coronavirus, according to the most recent count by the National Council of State Legislatures. The committee dissolved at the end of the day April 15 when the General Assembly 2020 session ended. Impeachment proceedings can only take place when the legislature is in session, Petrie said. "Because the investigation is incomplete, and because no oﬃ cial action was taken, and because the matter is still a live issue, I do not anticipate the material being released," Petrie said. Only four impeachments have oc-

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 fouryear-term in 2018. In December, the Kentucky Judicial Conduct Commission made public its nine misconduct charges against the judge. The charges are: 1 Coercion to participate in judicial campaign. 2 Retaliation for failure to support the judicial campaign. 3 Facilities and timesheet 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. She was suspended from the bench with pay in January after a nine-hour hearing in Louisville. Gentry denied almost all charges, according to court documents. During the 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.

So far, the NKCAC has distributed more than 1,100 food boxes in the past three weeks and have provided more than 800 families with rental and emergency assistance. With the extension of the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Crisis Program, almost 2,000 families have received home utility assistance since March 30. A recent $25,000 grant from The Greater Cincinnati Foundation and United Way of Greater Cincinnati’s COVID-19 Relief Fund will provide additional funds to aid families in the upcoming weeks. “We greatly appreciate the partner-

One thing that has me smiling is how many of you responded with interest for making wildfl ower jellies and jams. My guess is while sheltering in place, you’re noticing what Mother Nature has to off er right in your yard. Like purple violets (leaves make a healing tea) and dandelions. Red bud blossoms. On my little patch of heaven, honeysuckle is a useful plant, holding the hill from eroding and providing fl owers for jelly. So how about going wild in the kitchen, even if you only toss a few wild edible fl owers in your salad? Or go big and bold, and make these beautiful and yes, gourmet, treats. First, pick blossoms Pick blossoms only. No leaves, no stems. For dandelions, remove as much bitter green bottom as possible. For honeysuckle, remove green tips off but leave stamens in. Infusion Coax fl avor and color out by making an infusion. Measure fl owers before

Dominic Rulli played center and defensive line for the Cooper Jaguars before moving on to The Taft School in Connecticut for two more seasons PHOTOS PROVIDED/CAPTURE MOORE PHOTOGRAPHY

Cooper’s Rulli ﬁ nds alternate path to a DI scholarship Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

UNION, Ky - On the April 15 spring National Signing Day, Cooper High School’s Dominic Rulli announced he would attend The Taft School in Connecticut. In doing so, he’ll bypass his 2021 senior year as a bruising center/defensive lineman for the Jaguars, then reclassify as the Class of ‘22 after his stint at Taft. The New England boarding school identifi es itself as “rigorously challenging” but also has sent a number of football players off to college opportunities. With this decision, Rulli won’t graduate from Cooper and his parents must make their way to the East Coast to watch him play. The family prayed about it and decided to send their 270-pound son to Taft and Watertown, Connecticut, nearly 12 hours away. “To be able to reclass and work on his craft, and let’s not forget the elephant in the room, what if there isn’t a 2020 football season?” Dominic’s father Marc Rulli said. “Opportunity shows up in diff erent forms all the time. We’ll fi nd our way there.” Rulli would have been a three-year starter for coach Randy Borchers and was coming off a 47-tackle season with one sack for the Jags. He already had offers from Morehead State and Kentucky

Dominic Rulli will not ﬁ nish as a senior at Cooper High School, instead going the prep route at The Taft School in Connecticut where he reclassiﬁ es to the Class of '22.

Wesleyan, with interest from Eastern Kentucky and Dartmouth. He visited West Virginia, Kentucky and Purdue and attended camps at Penn State, Indiana

State, Cincinnati, North Texas and Clemson. A ranked wrestler also, Rulli will take his hand-to-hand combat skills East in

early September hoping to get bigger, stronger and faster in the eyes of Division I recruiters. Rulli is currently 6foot-3 and 270 pounds. “I take pride in what I have to give - my athleticism and ability to move quickly,” Rulli said. “I’m still working on my legs and my upper body. That’s what this opportunity’s going to build.” Though he played both ways for Cooper, coaches who contacted Randy Borchers see him as a college center where Rulli hopes to use quick feet and balance skills that come from his wrestling background. Dominic Rulli is just 16 years old and would have graduated at 17. A similar route helped former Cooper teammate Michael Spencer, who recently picked up an opportunity at Vanderbilt in the SEC. Spencer graduated from Cooper at 17 and did a post-grad year at Taft. The former Cooper linebacker should be fi ne with Vanderbilt academics as he previously had off ers from Cornell, Harvard and Yale of the Ivy League. “Is this going to be something we run into every year?” Cooper coach Borchers said. “I don’t think so. We’ve had two unique situations. It’s hard to fault a kid if they’re putting themselves in a position that’s going to better them for the future. If it’s going to benefi t a kid, we’re all for it.”

Rare disorder doesn’t stop senior from playing volleyball James Weber

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Volleyball was a backup plan for Torie Houston when she was growing up. Now, it’s a lifeline for the Holy Cross High School senior, who is getting ready for the next step in her life, to be a Division I volleyball player. Houston, a volleyball standout at Holy Cross, has signed to continue the sport at Northern Kentucky University beginning this fall. It’s a step that was hard to imagine nearly 15 years ago when she was a little kid having trouble walking. Houston is living with a rare condi-

tion called a cavernoma, an abnormal cluster of blood vessels with bubbles that can leak blood. The cluster is currently below her brain stem near her spinal column. Her mother, Becky Houston, also the Holy Cross head volleyball coach, said estimates are that the condition only affects one in a million people in the United States. “The blood dripped in the spinal cord and the spine doesn’t like any foreign substance,” Becky Houston said. “It’s a very odd thing. It’s a very rare thing to happen.” The condition ﬁ rst surfaced when Torie was 4 years old. Houston started feeling lethargic and lacking her usual

energy, and eventually had trouble walking. Meanwhile, the left side of her body started showing signs of paralysis. After a wide variety of tests, Torie was initially diagnosed with a tumor, and doctors at Children’s Hospital said the only option was removing the tumor. Doing that would leave her a quadriplegic without use of any of her limbs. “If we do not operate she will die, and when we do operate she will be a quadriplegic,” Becky Houston said. “There is nothing that can prepare you for this news, it brings you to your knees and changes you forever.” The family asked for a second opiSee HOUSTON, Page 2B

Speedway Motorsports lays oﬀ employees Jason Hoffman

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The parent company of Kentucky Speedway on April 14 joined a growing list of sports and entertainment companies laying off employees amid the suspension of live events due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. Speedway Motorsports, which owns Kentucky Speedway, Atlanta Motor Speedway, Bristol Motor Speedway, Charlotte Motor Speedway, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Sonoma Raceway and Texas Motor Speedway, laid off about 180 of its workers across all tracks this week as part of a restructuring, according to a statement issued by the company. Here is the full text of the statement: “The extraordinary circumstances presented by this pandemic and the subsequent shutdown of the economy have had a signifi cant impact on our business. Since the beginning of the shutdown four weeks ago, we have kept our entire team on full pay while our properties remained dormant. In that time, it has become clear that we must be a more nimble, more effi cient organization. As such, we have made the diffi cult decision to restructure our business and eliminate many duplicate positions. Unfortunately, part of this restructuring includes eliminating approximately 180 positions across all departments at our speedways and subsidiaries. Approximately 100 additional employees have been furloughed. These decisions were not easy. Our company is providing a severance package to each person aff ected by job eliminations. Speedway Motorsports remains committed to providing the very best entertainment experience to all who come through our gates when America’s fi ght against this pandemic is behind us. This reorganization positions us to move forward at that time and well into the future. In the meantime, our staff will continue to maintain our facilities in preparation for the event days ahead and support our community with out-

reach eﬀ orts during this time of need.” The move comes less than two weeks after NASCAR announced companywide layoﬀ s. NASCAR absorbed International Speedway Corp. and its 12 tracks in 2019 and had already been

planning to restructure ahead of the pandemic. The layoﬀ s came after NASCAR already announced pay cuts for executives and all employees. Kentucky Speedway’s race weekend,

initially scheduled for July 9-11, has not yet been oﬃ cially rescheduled. The NASCAR national touring series has been suspended since March 13, when races were planned for Atlanta Motor Speedway.

nion, and Children’s sent MRI images to other doctors around the country.

Second opinion One of those doctors spotted the true cause, the rare condition called cavernoma. Instead of a risky surgery, Torie was treated with steroids and eventually began to recover. The cluster could still not be removed by surgery. Torie would be able to walk and have a normal life, but could not do strenuous physical activities, including sports. “We were blessed to have our daughter alive and walking, talking and smiling,” Becky said. “Of course there was some disappointment for Torie as she loved to play any sport, but in the scheme of things, the loss of sports was minute.” Things improved at age 11, when an MRI revealed the cluster had elongated and moved further down her spinal column. Doctors then allowed her to play volleyball, a non-contact sport, while continuing to monitor the cluster with regular exams. While it wasn’t basketball, her fi rst love, Torie began to embrace another net sport. “The news is devastating when you fi rst get it,” her mother said. “Just being cautious through the middle school age and building confi dence. She was fi ne. They said that the only thing we need to worry about is if there is a quick jolt to the neck area.” Houston still has to be careful as long as the cluster is around. She cannot do any contact sports or do anything that could result in a hard hit or strain to the neck, including high-risk activities such as ziplining or jumping on a trampoline. But she can live a normal life and enjoy the sport she loves, while majoring in biology or a similar science at NKU. “I try my hardest not to think about it,” Torie said. “I don’t let it aff ect my day-to-day life. Growing up, it was the hardest thing to deal with. There are some limitations and things I can’t do with it.”

All-Resilient team Houston’s journey with the condition recently earned her a spot on the 2020 All-Resilient Team, an annual listing honoring perseverance that is pub-

lished by Lexington radio broadcaster Tom Leach. Houston was the setter at Holy Cross and quickly her talent in the sport begin to shine through. “I probably saw that her freshman year in high school,” Becky said. “She started standing out among her peers. She has beautiful hands and is a very smart player, puts the ball in the right spot for her hitters. At Holy Cross, she had to do it all: Hit, set and pass. It was a lot of fun to watch her grow into the person she is.” Houston began to embrace her talent and play club volleyball with the Northern Kentucky Volleyball Club, which produces a lot of future college players. “Growing up, my mom and dad were both athletes,” Torie said. “I thought volleyball was fun and I enjoyed playing with my friends but I didn’t take it very seriously like basketball. I realized I didn’t want to give up sports and that I loved volleyball. My teammates were able to help me and push me, and they taught me everything I know.” Houston is a cousin to former Holy Cross and NKU standout Jayden Julian, who has been a big inﬂ uence on her. Volleyball relies on constant teamwork and communication. “The people I’ve met playing volleyball and the life lessons I’ve learned,” Torie Houston said. “With NKYVC, I really learned self-discipline and how to be a good teammate. You want to play for the person next to you more than you play for yourself. Communication is the key. You learn you want to be better for your teammates.”

Money in difficult times Every household has expenses. What expenses you have and how much you spend on them will vary based on your family’s needs and wants. Some expenses are fi xed, or a set amount that doesn’t change from month to month, such as a loan payment or television service subscription. Other expenses are fl exible, or might change based on how much you use it or what season it is, such as water, electric, or food. During this diffi cult time you may be looking to reduce your expense. You need to look at both fi xed and fl exible Mason expenses to determine places you might be able to trim. Consider prioritizing by asking yourself what expenses are for the most important things for your family’s health and well-being. Make a list. Those things that don’t make it to the top of the list are areas to consider cutting back or eliminating. While you might not be able to cut back on rent or your mortgage, you may be able to turn the thermostat down, turn off lights, televisions or computers when not in use, or conserve energy in other ways to reduce your energy bill. When preparing foods and snacks consider what portions and what kinds of foods are being served. Can you cut back on portions or make less expense food choices? Are you still ordering food for delivery? Can you cut back on the amount of snacks eaten during the day? Another area to consider for reducing expenses is communications. Cellular phone packages may cost more if there are multiple lines or unlimited services. If everyone is at home, are all of the plans currently needed? Review the phone bills to determine where you might save a few dollars. However, consider any contracts you may have and what expenses are involved in changing plans. Remember, it never hurts to ask if there are ways to reduce your expenses at this point. Also, consider is entertainment. Look at all of the services you may have for cable, streaming and similar entertainment options. It may pay to keep track of just how often these services are being used to see if there is a way to cut back on expenses. You may also consider a digital antenna to receive television shows at no cost (other than purchasing the antenna). Look at how much on-line shopping you are doing and consider the reasons. Ask yourself if the items are truly needed before clicking “order.” If you need to, contact your creditors to let them know your situation. You are not alone in the struggle at this point. It is better to talk with them about your challenges than to be late on payments or default on loans. Be sure you completely understand any “deals” that are off ered for deferred payments. Work to not turn to credit cards as a solution to your need to for money. You may only be digging yourself in deeper in the long run. Sit down with the whole family, as age appropriate, and talk about ways to decrease expenses. Know that our current situation will hopefully resolve sooner rather than later.

Coronavirus Relief Fund launched in Northern Kentucky Horizon Community Funds of Northern Kentucky is quickly launching a new fund to support Northern Kentuckians facing increased crises or needs during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Horizon NKY Coronavirus Relief Fund aims to raise at least $4 million, with nearly half of that already committed. Through generous support from The Butler Foundation and The R.C. Durr Foundation, and corporate citizens including Fischer Homes and Drees Homes Foundation, First Financial Bank, and other individuals Horizon Community Funds has secured pre-commitments approaching $1.8 million as matching gifts to raise these much-needed funds. The Relief Fund will provide fl exible fi nancial assistance to nonprofi ts serving Boone, Campbell, and Kenton counties in Northern Kentucky that are experienc-

ing increased demand for resources in response to the COVID-19 virus in our community. More information about the Relief Fund, including how to donate, can be found at www.horizonfunds.org/coronavirus-relief-fund. “This is the time for Northern Kentuckians to step up for each other,” said Horizon Community Funds President Nancy Grayson. “Horizon Community Funds stands shoulder to shoulder with our community in these challenging times, and we call upon Northern Kentucky individuals and companies to join us in tackling the dire issues brought on by the novel COVID-19 pandemic. Your donation, in any amount, will help us to support our neighbors and our community together.” The Relief Fund is a special fund for generating a signifi cant source of money to use for citizens of Northern Kentucky, especially families who are suff ering hardship from loss of jobs, income, or due to health-related events. Initial priorities for the Fund include: food and basic hygiene and cleaning supplies; medication and health care needs not supported by insurance; and access to essential needs. “”Now is the opportunity for our entire Northern Kentucky population to come together for this common purpose of supporting those who need help in this diffi cult time,” said Horizon Community Funds Board Chair Bill Butler. “Let us demonstrate that we care, that we are indeed one Northern Kentucky, united in giving.” Individuals and businesses are encouraged to donate either online at www.horizonfunds.org, through check mailed to Horizon Community Funds, or through other methods as outlined on the website. The resources will be deployed rapidly, foregoing the traditional long form application process. Instead, NKY Coronavirus Emergency Relief Fund partners will work with community advisors, local offi cials, and other stakeholders to identify organizations currently providing prioritized supports to Northern Kentuckians. The group anticipates making its fi rst round of funding in the coming weeks. “While we can’t be hand in hand right now in Northern Kentucky, we are heart to heart,” said R. C. Durr Foundation Assistant to the President Jean Mize. “The R. C. Durr Foundation is proud to off er coronavirus relief assistance to other nonprofi ts with our foundation family, Horizon Community Funds, and The Butler Foundation.” Funds will be released on a rolling basis as fundraising continues throughout the outbreak and recovery phases of the crisis, making it possible to move resources quickly and adapt to evolving needs in subsequent funding phases. Fund eff orts are also supported by: Central Bank, CTI Clinical Trial and Consulting Services, Drees Homes Foundation, Duke Energy, Heritage Bank, The Milburn Family Foundation, Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, Northern Kentucky University, St. Elizabeth Healthcare, and Republic Bank. Many generous individuals have also stepped up to offer support for the fund as it grows in Northern Kentucky. Additionally, the continued partnership between Horizon Community Funds and St. Elizabeth Healthcare has introduced the St. Elizabeth Associate Crisis Support Fund, which off ers fi nancial assistance to St. Elizabeth employees during times of unexpected personal need. The fund allows donors the opportunity to directly support the needs of St. Elizabeth healthcare workers on the front lines of this crisis.

“Throughout our long history, St. Elizabeth associates have answered the call to serve each time our community has needed it the most,” said Garren Colvin, President & CEO, St. Elizabeth Healthcare. “We want to assure our neighbors that we are right here and fully prepared to care for them as we face this unprecedented challenge. “And while our dedicated associates stand on the front lines, we stand ready to support them and their families, now and in the weeks and months to come,” added Colvin. “These men and women are working around the clock to ensure the health and safety of our community.” In a show of support for their colleagues, and to maximize the impact of individual gifts, the St. Elizabeth medical staff has pledged to match up to $100,000 of donations to the Associate Crisis Support Fund. “Daily, I am humbled by the caring and compassion of our physicians and medical team,” said Colvin. This inspiring expression of support shows we are all in this together, and together we will make our way through it.” For questions regarding the NKY Coronavirus Emergency Relief Fund or the St. Elizabeth Associate Crisis Support Fund, please contact Nancy Grayson at ngrayson@horizonfunds.org or 859-757-1552. SUPPORTING QUOTES Kris Knochelmann, Kenton County Judge Executive: “For years, I’ve watched our community rise to the challenge when it comes to taking care of our neighbors. I know there’s no group of people in our country that has worked harder to make sure that everyone around them is safe, housed, and fed. It’s time to do it again, in the face of a considerable challenge. I appreciate Horizon Community Funds for providing the vehicle through which we can help our neighbors, and I encourage those with the ability to join this eff ort. Let’s always remember to take care of each other. It’s what we do in Northern Kentucky.” Gary Moore, Boone County Judge Executive: “For many years Northern Kentucky has been the example that many other communities have used for regional collaboration. We have truly been a leader in this area! This unforeseen pandemic is testing us in ways that we never dreamed. Once again we must lead!” Steve Pendery, Campbell County Judge Executive: “The coronavirus pandemic not only threatens the physical health of every member of our community, it also threatens their jobs, their fi nancial security and their future, creating a challenge unlike anything we have ever faced before. This thing is nothing like normal. In these circumstances, even the smallest kindness - simple thoughtfulness - will be appreciated much more deeply and will mean much more. Many will be extraordinarily generous and brave. We are all being reminded about what is most important in life. Above all, let’s be good to each other. Northern Kentuckians have worked together for our future for so long, and so successfully, as a group, we always seem to fi nd the most eff ective ways to respond. The relief eff orts of Horizon Community Funds are a great example. Let’s each do our part.” Theresa Brown, Horizon Community Funds of Northern Kentucky

SCHOOL NEWS 4th graders experienced two fi eld trips on the Florence Elementary campus Before school closures due to the COVID-19 threat, fourth graders participated in two fi eld trips and did not even have to leave the campus. The Cincinnati Zoo brought animals/reptiles into the comfort of their classroom. This gave the students a closeup view and enabled them to touch a couple of our friends from nature. The fi rst reptile was “Brinks” a Sudan Plated Lizard named after the region of Sudan in Africa. This lizard has the adaptation of both desert and savannah life styles. Lizards are cold blooded or considered ectotherm meaning their body changes with their external surroundings either sunlight or heat. The most memorable fact is that Brinks could lose part of his tail for survival and his tail would grow back. The second reptile was “Betsy” the Bull Snake, found in the central and great plains of the United States. Bull Snakes are not poisonous but their coloring and tail resembles that of a rattlesnake. The Bull Snake will bite its victim then wrap around them constricting it before swallowing it whole. It’s most memorable fact is that the snake is capable of swallowing prey larger than their head, another adaptation. The Bull Snake only eats once every 2 weeks. Eating mice, rats and other reptiles it snags by ambush. The third animal was “Oakley” the Eastern Screech Owl, found in the tristate area. Learning about the owl’s unique features helped us understand their adaptations to survive. The Eastern Screech Owl is small and weighs less than 6 ounces, making them easy to camoufl age amongst the branches of the tree top. They are nocturnal and hunt at night so their large eyes, 270 degree turning of its head, acute hearing and strong talons allow them to survive. The pointed ear tufts make it easy to identify the Eastern Screech Owl. The second fi eld trip taken by the fourth graders was to see a Coral Cat Shark. The Wave Foundation at the Newport Aquarium brought in a tank holding two Coral Cat Sharks. The students were educated about sharks, gathering many interesting facts but the one fact that echoed the loudest was how the female shark sometimes

would eat their newborn in order to survive. About 70 percent of the world’s sharks are less than four feet. The larger sharks have live births while the smaller sharks lay eggs. The aquarium brought in a shark egg, about the size of your fi st, and showed how you can visually determine if the egg is good by shining light through the shell. The myth about shark attacks, which was a hot topic, was clarifi ed because larger sharks do attack injured, old, and slow mammals such as sea lions. People resemble these outline features so the shark will take an exploratory bite and realizes it is a human, which normally isn’t at the top of their favorite food list. They don’t really prefer people but people will eat shark. Smaller sharks eat shrimp, lobsters, krill, plankton and crabs. To conclude the shark program each student was given the opportunity to use two fi ngers to brush the back of the Coral Cat Shark. Learning can take place in many forms and locations and the traveling programs allow more educational experiences. Kathy Kuhn, Florence Elementary

Free online mental health consultations available through Sun Behavioral Health Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Sun Behavioral Health has opened on Dolwick Drive in Erlanger. THE ENQUIRER/MELISSA REINERT

Free online consultations for those struggling with mental health issues are now available through Sun Behavioral Health’s Northern Kentucky offi ce. The offi ce recently sent out a news release announcing an expansion of its Telehealth Services in response to COVID-19. Appointments are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week through the Zoom app, offi cials said. You do not have to be a current Sun Kentucky patient to schedule a consultation, Sun Behavioral Health President and CEO Steve Page said. “The coronavirus emergency continues to present rapidly changing challenges for us all,” Page said in the release. “Stress and anxiety are running high across the nation and in our community, and the need for at-home mental health care has never been greater.” Earlier this month Sun Behavioral Health told The Enquirer they had seen a drop in inpatients, but an increase in patients using telemedicine after the online tool was established March 30. “These are unprecedented times and this is a way for our team to do our part to help,” Page said in the release.

Sun Behavioral Kentucky works to serve those with mental illness and substance use disorders. Instead of performing in-person consultations during the stay at home order, patients with video capabilities through their laptop, cellphone or tablet can register online. Patients will have the option to continue treatment, if recommended, through Sun’s new Telehealth Outpatient Program, which includes two treatment options to be completed at the patient’s home. The options include a partial hospitalization program of up to six hours of clinical programming per day for ﬁ ve days per week, or an intensive outpatient program of up to three hours of clinical programming per day for three to ﬁ ve days per week. Lance Folske, Sun Behavioral Health senior vice president of operations, said Sun’s physical hospitals remain open at all times “for those who need us most.” Hospital employees and patients are practicing social distancing, he said, and all “casual visitation” has been eliminated. “We’re doing everything we can do to serve our community and keep everyone as safe as possible while we do it,” Folske said in the release.

Licking River bridge closed for deterioration Hannah K. Sparling Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A Northern Kentucky bridge is closed after an inspection found deterioration on a load-bearing portion of the bridge. The 4th Street-Veterans Bridge spans the Licking River between Covington and Newport. It carries an average of 13,676 vehicles a day, according to a news release from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. It’s not clear how long the bridge will be closed. “We are going with a safety-ﬁ rst approach for the 4th Street Bridge,” said

Bob Yeager, chief district engineer for transportation cabinet, in the news release. “KYTC oﬃ cials are looking at a number of options. It might be possible to open the bridge back up, with restrictions, until a repair is made.” In the meantime, pedestrians can still use the bridge walkway, and bicyclists can still use the roadway. Drivers coming from Newport can use York Street to 11th Street to Greenup Street as a detour. Drivers coming from Covington can use Scott Street to 12th Street to the Licking Valley Girl Scout Bridge to Monmouth Street.

Southern Comfort, said in the release. “We can’t thank you enough.” Approximately $35,000 in donations have been made to the fund in support of more than 70 restaurants and bars, the release states. The fund originally intended to award 10 local businesses, but according to the release the “generosity of the region has resulted in more help than anticipated.” “At a time when so many businesses, restaurants especially, are struggling through no fault of their own, the outpouring of support by our community shows just how special and strong Northern Kentucky truly is,” Northern Kentucky Chamber President and CEO Brent Cooper said in the release. Another round of restaurants will be awarded on April 23. Those who submit gift card receipts will also have a chance to win in a separate drawing, which will award a pair of Ultimate Air Shuttle airline tickets to one winner. Direct contributions to the fund can be made on Horizon Community Funds’ website.
