Hundreds walk in NKY Black Lives Matter protest Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

People hoisted up signs, handed out cool water bottles and chanted at the top of their lungs.

On Sunday, hundreds of people, with a police escort, walked two miles on Dixie Highway from the former Kmart parking lot in Elsmere to the Elsmere Police Department. The crowd walked through the 80-degree weather as protests across the U.S. continue after black people were killed by police.

“Say his name,” a protester called out.

“George Floyd,” the crowd responded.

“Say her name,” another person asked.

“Breonna Taylor,” the crowd yelled back.

Those were the two people the crowd honored on Sunday. Floyd was killed in Minneapolis, Minnesota when a Minneapolis police offi cer pressed his knee on Floyd’s neck for eight minutes and 46 seconds. Taylor was an EMT in Louisville, Kentucky who was shot by police after they entered her apartment with a ‘no-knock’ warrant.

Since those deaths, residents across the U.S. have continued to hold Black Lives Matters protests. Also on Sunday, about 20 minutes away across the Ohio River, thousands of protesters gathered in Cincinnati at Fountain Square for a protest.

Chris Brown, of Elsmere, organized the rally for the Northern Kentucky city home to 8,642 people.

She mingled with people she knew, directed where donated medical masks and snacks should go and pointed to who people should talk to to register to vote.

“We’re giving the people a voice right now to speak out against everything that they are not in agreeance with as it pertains to police brutality and racial injustice,” Brown said before the group

started the walk.

Along the route, the protesters said Floyd’s and Taylor’s name, “no justice,

no peace, no racist police,” along with other chants. Volunteers stretched out their arms to off er cool water and pass-

ersby honked their horns from their cars.

At the Elsmere Police Station, a few speakers talked about racial inequalities and suggested what the crowd could do next to push for change.

Some urged them to vote to change policy and procedure. Others said to keep the conversation going by meeting new people.

“Share your story,” said Catrena BowSee PROTEST, Page 4A

FORT MITCHELL – More than 200 people marched through the streets of this Northern Kentucky suburb against racial injustice Saturday afternoon.

The demonstration was one of at least seven held across the Cincinnati region Saturday in the wake of the May 25 death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man in Minneapolis.

As they went through the city's commercial area as the temperature reached 90 degrees, workers from the Greyhound Tavern handed marchers popsicles and Biggby Coff ee off ered samples of its iced tea.

Demonstrators met at noon outside the Fort Mitchell city building, where organizer and former Beechwood football team captain John Willis and other recent graduates gave speeches. There, the group kneeled for 90 seconds in honor of Floyd.

more than eight minutes. Three other offi cers watched. All four policemen were fi red after the incident, and have been criminally charged.

The protestors marched for several miles on the sidewalks to Beechwood schools.

They were greeted by the school superintendent, Mike Stacy, who said he was glad to see his recent graduates and current students who are marching come together as a community and speak out against an issue.

As they walked through residential neighborhoods, the demonstrators were met with onlookers kneeling or holding signs in their front yard and offering them cold water.

Police presence at the march was minimal, although offi cers on bicycles closed intersections and ensured marchers could cross roads safely. EMT services remained on standby in case anyone suff ered heat-related injuries.

After the march ended, a Kenton County Sheriff 's golf cart drove some demonstrators back to their cars.

For the fi rst time, anyone can vote by mail

ELECTIONS 2020

KENTUCKY PRIMARY

the Board of Elections has talked about adding one or two more, but those have not been confi rmed yet.

Julia Fair

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Where do I vote in Kenton County?

The COVID-19 pandemic has altered much of life, including how Kentucky's primary election will work this month.

For the fi rst time, Kentuckians will be able - like Ohioans have done for 15 years - to vote early by mail.

Before the coronavirus pandemic, Kentucky was one of nine states that didn't have early no-fault voting.

Previously, Kentucky only allowed absentee voting for a few reasons -- if you were older, disabled, ill, a member of the U.S. Military, an overseas citizen, a student living outside of the county, among other exceptions.

For this primary election, any registered voter can vote by mail.

Monday is the fi rst day Kentuckians can vote early if they made an appointment ahead of time, but only if they need to use a voting machine equipped for the disabled or are unable to receive a ballot by mail.

Kentucky's primary elections are set for Tuesday, June 23.

The original date for the primaries was May 19. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, Gov. Andy Beshear and Secretary of State Michael Adams announced in March that it would be pushed back.

The registration deadline has already passed. All registered voters will be able to vote by mail-in absentee ballots, and there will be fewer polling locations on Election Day. Northern Kentucky has historically had some of the worst voter turnout in the state. Last year, the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce launched Vote NKY, an initiative to residents to participate in elections.

In the 2019 gubernatorial race, more Northern Kentuckians voted. In all three counties voter turnout increased by double digits, which helped Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear unseat the incumbent Republican, Matt Bevin.

"We are strongly encouraging all voters to vote at home via absentee ballot during the pandemic in order to avoid the long lines on Election Day," said the chamber's Vice President of Public Aff airs and Communications Kristin Baldwin in a statement. "Turnout in the last presidential primary was only 13-14 percent across Boone, Kenton and Campbell counties.”

Now, Kentuckians will have more time to vote.

Here's how it'll work.

Northern Kentucky election officials are predicting 65 percent or more of registered voters in Boone, Campbell and Kenton counties – about 194,000 people – will vote on Election Day. FILE PHOTO

Usually, there are 105 precincts in Kenton County where voters cast their ballot.

On June 23, only one will be open. This is the case for many counties in Kentucky, including Jeff erson County, home to Kentucky's largest city, Louisville.

The Northern Kentucky Convention Center will be the sole in-person voting location in Kenton County on Election Day. It will be open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. with free parking across the street in the county parking garage.

How do I request a mail-in absentee ballot?

Where do I vote in Campbell County?

The Kentucky State Board of Elections created an online portal that allows voters to request an absentee ballot. Voters are expected to receive a postcard about it. That portal can also be found at GoVoteKY.com.

You can also check with your county clerk’s website to see how you can request an absentee ballot there.

In Boone County go to: Booneclerk.com The deadline to request an absentee ballot is June 15.

Voters should contact their county clerk to get information on the best location to drop off their ballots.

In-person voting will still happen but polling sites will look diff erent as a result of the pandemic.

The window for in-person early voting, which is only available for people who are disabled or can't receive a ballot by mail, will be between June 8 and June 22. Check with your local county clerk on polling times.

In this Northern Kentucky county, Election Day normally brings people to 67 voting locations.

This time, in-person voting will happen at one location. People can vote at the Cold Spring Baptist Church at 4410 Alexandria Pike in Cold Spring.

If you vote in-person instead of mailing in an absentee ballot, the Campbell County Clerk website urged caution in the midst in the pandemic.

"Wear a mask and observe social distancing to protect our poll workers, your fellow citizens and yourself," the post read.

What happens on Election Day? Chances are, your normal precinct won't be open.

There will only be one voting location in each Northern Kentucky county.

Beshear has said that there will be a reduced number of polling locations in order to stem the spread of the coronavirus and decrease the number of poll workers needed.

Where do I vote in Boone County?

In Boone County, there are usually 63 precincts open to voters. On June 23, there will be one location at the Boone County Extension Enrichment Center at 1842 Patrick Drive in Burlington.

Boone County Clerk Justin Crigler told The Enquirer

What am I voting for?

Mainly, there's a lot of people who want U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie's job. He's vying for his fi fth term in offi ce as Northern Kentucky's congressman.

This is the fi rst time since his fi rst congressional election that Massie has faced a challenger in the primary. This year, the Republican nomination will go to Massie or Todd McMurtry, a local lawyer best known as Nick Sandmann's attorney.

There are two Democrats who want to head to Washington, D.C., too. Alexandra Owensby and Shannon Fabert are competing for the Democratic nomination.

There's also three Republicans running against U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell and seven Democrats running for Democratic party nomination.

SCHOOL NEWS Sue Dressman to retire after 32 years in education This year, when school ended, we lost one of our Knights. Kenton County resident Sue Dressman has been a para kindergarten aide with Allison Hanna for the past two years. She will be starting a new chapter in her life. Retirement.

Sue has worked at Florence Elementary for four years starting in fi fth grade and then she transitioned from the upper classman to the starting gate (kindergarteners)… enjoying each challenge the diff erent grade levels brought.

Dealing with dramatic fi fth graders to tear fi lled eyes as the kindergarteners struggle to leave mom and dad.

Sue has worked in education for 32 years. She started at St. Henry and work there for 25 years, then moved to Boone County High School, working with the Special Education Unit for three years before becoming a Florence Knight for four years.

Sue is looking forward to her non-

traditional retirement (NTR) days of traveling when the normalcy of life fi nally returns. She is going to be enjoying life, from gardening in the yard, traveling, the joy of being with family and lounging around in her 6 foot wide kiddie pool.

Florence Elementary was not able to honor Sue in the traditional retirement fashion so about 27 co-workers arranged with her sons to have a drive by parade. They presented her with a black rocker for the days to come accented with a plaid orange and white pillow which represents the Florence Elementary colors and a blue and white pillow for her love for the University of Kentucky. Many cards, gifts and the offi cial school fl ame plaque were passed on during the parade.

She will be missed but we know it is not goodbye because she is planning on returning to Florence to sub for the kindergarten aides and continue to connect with co-workers and reconnect with her former students.

Protesters made it to the Elsmere Police station on Sunday.

Bowman-Thomas added that the rally was the most united she’s seen Northern Kentucky since she’s lived her. She told protesters they could invite the people they met at the rally to their homes for BBQ to keep the conversation going.

“Northern Kentucky is not immune,” from racial inequalities, said Northern Kentucky NAACP President Jerome Bowles during his speech at the rally.

As the speakers fi nished their speeches, the sun moved closer to the west and people removed their sunglasses and hats. Water bottles were empty.

The Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky transported protesters back to their vehicles. Some decided to walk back. They thanked volunteers for water and police offi cers for escorting them across the sidewalk.

Brown told The Enquirer she wants to see more rallies and protests planned.

“I’m hoping that every body goes out

“Northern Kentucky is not immune,” from racial inequalities, said Northern Kentucky NAACP President Jerome Bowles during his speech at the rally. and continues to lend their voice to this,” Brown said. “We have to keep lending out voice to this, we cannot shut up, we cannot sit down, we have got to go the full gamut.”

Ark Encounter and Creation Museum reopen Cole Behrens Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Northern Kentucky Bible-based theme parks Ark Encounter and The Creation Museum opened their doors to the public Monday for the fi rst time since in nearly three months.

But the bus tours that have helped sustain the $100 million attractions won't resume until the fall.

Here’s what to expect if you visit.

Facility precautions Both facilities will be restricting crowds to a third of capacity. Ken Ham, founder of Answers in Genesis, the organization that operates the two parks, said this will likely not aff ect visitors because the parks typically do not even see a third of full capacity in their busiest days.

Employees will tally how many guests are in the park.

Each employee will be temperature-checked upon arrival, and employees will frequently clean the exhibits, according to a COVID-19 preparedness guide for both Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum.

Ark Encounter The Ark's huge size - 165,000 square thousand feet allows for comfortable social distancing, according to a preparedness guide issued by Answers in Genesis.

Staff will encourage visitors to stay apart.

The zoo at Ark Encounter will be open. The play-

ground will be closed.

The Creation Museum Indoor gathering areas such as the 4-D theater and the planetarium at the Creation Museum will be strictly enforcing a 33% capacity in the rooms. Groups will be asked to space out from other groups.

Throughout the museum, signs on the ground will form a path for guests to follow through the exhibits.

As at Ark Encounter, the zoo at the creation museum will also be open.

Dining At Ark Encounter, the buff et service at Ezmara’s Restaurant is suspended -- instead, visitors will go

through a cafeteria-style line where they get their food, drink, and pay in a single trip to reduce crosstraffi c.

Indoor dining areas across the parks will be monitored to ensure 33% capacity; extra outdoor seating has been added.

Parking & Tickets To reduce the risk of coronavirus transmission, parking will now be handled by an attendant as visitors enter the parks, rather than have guests use a kiosk in the lot to pay for parking.

Additionally, only one person per party may wait in line at the ticket booths to purchase tickets, and social distancing measures will be encouraged as guests wait in line.

The COVID-19 preparedness plan encourages guests to purchase tickets online in advance.

Bus Tours Ham said for bus tour companies that frequently plan trips to Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum have suspended tours until at least fall.

Visitor precautions Both the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter encourage guests not to visit if they are sick. They also encourage visitors to wear masks if able and to make use of sanitizer.

If needed, a designated employee may remind a guest of state health guidelines, according to the preparedness report.

COVID-19 forces NKY Hates Heroin to cancel 5K USA TODAY NETWORK

While the pandemic cloaks the opioid epidemic – one that took the lives of over 60,000 Americans last year – NKY Hates Heroin co-founder Noel Stegner said the organization will remain active despite having to cancel its annual 5K fundraiser set for June 20.

It was a diffi cult decision, Stegner said, because the fundraiser typically pulls in $35,000 to $45,000. The donations are then dispersed to dozens of organizations, advocacy groups and sober living houses.

This year would’ve marked the Northern Kentucky organization's seventh race, but COVID-19 restrictions in the commonwealth have put a 50-person cap on group gatherings. And the 5K, usually amassing 1,000 people, far exceeds that.

The 5K fundraiser is one of the main ways the NKY Hates Heroin can aff ord to give back to the community.

Two years ago, the nonprofi t began to focus on residents in transitional living.

“By the time you get into a treatment house, you don't have any money, let alone anything else,” Stegner

said, pointing out that NKY Hates Heroin delivered 1,600 pounds of items to residential treatment houses over a year ago.

Hundreds of towels, paper towels, shower shoes, pajamas, diapers and baby monitors are items residential treatment houses don't have the budget for, Stegner explained. NKY Hates Heroin works to provide those needs. A truckload of diapers, towels and other goods sent to residential treatment centers adds up. It can cost between $2,000 - $4,000.

Among other support, the organization has also paid for funerals of people who died from overdoses, rent for people in sober living homes, and they’ve purchased naloxone.

They also help children displaced by a parent’s addiction. And for people needing medical assessments when fi ling for Casey’s Law – a Kentucky law allowing family or friends of an addicted person to request involuntary, court-ordered treatment – NKY Hates Heroin looks to help.

Stegner assures the 5K’s cancellation will not stymy their eff orts. Instead, they’ll just have to pick and choose where they give larger donations.

Live Virtual Tours Available

There's another aspect the Specht family lost out on in the pandemic's wake: Connection.

Holly Specht, who runs the organization along with her father, says going to recovery houses and seeing huge grins on the residents' faces is what she misses most. They know the Spechts, who lost a family member to an overdose in 2013, care about and understand their journey, she said. Donations can still be made on the organization's website.

For Father’s Day: Greek beef kebabs with arugula salad Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

Every year, I have the same goal: to plant fewer vegetables so I don’t get overwhelmed during harvest. Obviously, by the photo here of grandsons Will and Jack putting in tomato stakes, that goal won’t be reached this year either.

Along with over a dozen tomatoes, we’re planting several kinds of peppers, a trellis of cucumbers, 2 kinds of squash and my usual long row of fl owers.

Corn, pumpkins and gourds are already planted near the berry bushes.

But you know what? It’s all good. Plenty of produce

Grill skewers over hot fi re until lightly charred and done to your liking. Flank steak will be done in less time than chunks.

The calendar tells me Father’s Day is on the horizon.

Is dad in the mood for kebabs? How about Greek beef kebabs? No long marinating time needed. Assemble and marinate 30 minutes to several hours.

Use part of the marinade for dressing a simple arugula salad.

For dessert, grilled pineapple slices with brown sugar/cinnamon glaze. Top with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce. Watch dad smile.

And to all our dads a happy, meaningful day!

Serve salad alongside kebabs with cheese, and grilled pita, if you like.

Rosters revealed for NKY football all-star game James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Northern Kentucky Football Coaches Association East/West All-Star Game was set to be played last week but will not be played due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.

The game was part of the St. Elizabeth All-Star Series, which was putting on showcases in multiple sports this month.

More than 80 players had been selected for the game. Bellevue and Ludlow did not have nominations.

The West team had as its top quarterback Jared Hicks of Conner, who led the Cougars to an 8-4 record after throwing for 2,756 yards and 23 touchdowns.

The West also had the region’s top two running backs: Kyle England of Ryle and Quincy Perrin of Scott.

England rushed for 1,159 yards and 20 touchdowns last fall, and Perrin 1,783 and 24.

Perrin became the sixth Northern Kentucky running back to surpass 5,000 career rushing yards.

Leading the way for the East team were fi ve players from Covington Catholic’s undefeated Class 5A state championship squad.

That included Michael Mayer, the Notre Dame signee who was an Army All-American and Northern Kentucky’s fi fth Mr. Football honoree.

It’s unsure if he would have played in the game if given the choice, since elite prospects generally skip the Northern Kentucky game because of injury concerns.

Four other players from the state champs were set to suit up: Leading rusher and linebacker Daniel Felix, Cornell-bound off ensive lineman Lucas Jones, dynamic receiver Andy Molique and defensive line leader John Lawrie.

The East’s top quarterback was Paul Kremer, who led Newport Central Catholic to the 1A state quarterfi nals. Kremer threw for over 2,100 yards and 26 touchdowns.

Eastern Michigan signee Brycen Huddleston led the Highlands contingent. The linebacker was also a dangerous kick returner.

Newport’s all-purpose QB and defensive back Kaleal Davis was also set to perform. He signed with Indiana State.

There are 14 fi rst team Enquirer All-Stars listed on the roster: Isaac Abdon (Lloyd), Noah Benza (Conner), Jacob Brass (Highlands), Kaleal Davis (Newport), Jackson Hardin (Scott), Brycen Huddleston (Highlands), Lucas Jones (CovCath), John Lawrie (CovCath), Michael Mayer (CovCath), Andy Molique (CovCath), Quincy Perrin (Scott), Vuk Sajlovic (Simon Kenton), Blake Shepherd (Beechwood), Dakota Thiel (Lloyd).

Here are the full rosters:

KHSAA allowing team meetings, some practices to start June 15 Jason Frakes Louisville Courier Journal USA TODAY NETWORK

High school sports in Kentucky are in business — at least on a very limited basis.

The Kentucky High School Athletic Association’s Board of Control voted May 28 to end the dead period that has been in eff ect since March 13 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a conference call with more than 2,300 livestreaming viewers at one point, the Board of Control voted to allow team meetings of 10 people or less from June 1-14. Practices may begin in some sports on a limited basis starting June 15.

“Let’s get these kids back to their coaches, sooner rather than later,” KHSAA commissioner Julian Tackett said during the discussion.

Based on guidelines from the Kentucky governor’s offi ce, practices of 10 or fewer people may not begin until June 15. Even then, only practices in the “lowtouch” sports of golf and cross country will be allowed.

“High-touch” sports of volleyball, football, soccer and fi eld hockey will be allowed to hold workouts and exercises starting June 15 but could not hold practices until June 29. Basketball also is listed as a “high-touch” sport.

Tackett noted guidelines for high school sports beyond June 29 will come at a later date.

Male High School football coach Chris Wolfe said he was pleasantly surprised by the recent announcement.

“I thought it turned out more positive than even the best scenarios,” Wolfe said. “I didn’t think we’d even get to interact with our kids until June 15 … so it’s very positive to get to get to interact with our players earlier and re-establish those relationships. The coaches are

craving it, and I think the players are, too.”

The Board of Control also voted — by a 13-5 margin — to eliminate its annual dead period that runs June 25-July 9. This is a one-time elimination for 2020 only.

“I don’t think it’s feasible to start, stop and start again,” Tackett said.

Among those voting against the proposal was Jerry Wyman, director of athletics for Jeff erson County Public Schools. Wyman noted some JCPS schools could be at a disadvantage during the period, with a possible lack of activity buses to transport athletes.

Others noted several coaches and families schedule vacations during the June 25-July 9 window and that eliminating the dead period will force tough decisions.

Tackett said all meetings and practices from June 1-July 14 should be considered “voluntary.”

“There’s no situation where you’re kicking a kid off a team for missing something in June,” Wolfe said. “I don’t know how it is other places, but that’s how it is here. It’s about perspective. … Now, come July, there has to be a level of commitment there.”

Tackett began the May 28 meeting by reiterating the KHSAA is a “state actor” under the direction of the Board of Education.

“Contrary to the belief of a lot of people out there, we don’t have the authority to do our own thing,” Tackett said.

Kentucky Speedway July races announced Jason Hoffman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

NASCAR racing will be back at Kentucky Speedway in July with an added twist.

Kentucky Speedway announced it will be hosting a four-race weekend July 9-12, with one Gander Truck Series race, two XFinity Series races and the Cup Series Quaker State 400 to cap off the weekend. All races will be broadcast on FS1, the Fox Sports Go App, Performance Racing Network and Sirus XM NASCAR radio.

“I would like to thank Governor Andy Beshear, Senior Advisor Rocky Adkins and Health Commissioner Dr. Steven Stack for working in collaboration with NASCAR and Kentucky Speedway to assure this year’s race weekend takes place in a way that protects the safety of participants and the community,” said Mark Simendinger, executive vice president and general manager, Kentucky Speedway. “We are excited to take our turn as NASCAR leads the sports world back to live events. And what a turn we have by showcasing four races in four days.”

There will not be fans at the races and all race team members will have to adhere to NASCAR’s guidelines, which include on-site testing, mask-wearing, distancing and sanitary precautions.

“It’s a decision we really hate to have to make,” Simendinger said of not having fans at the track. “The number one thing is to ensure we can conduct the races and get back to business. NASCAR has been the leader in getting back to business. ... The good news for the race fans is they can consume the product even if they can’t be here in person.”

Simendinger also said the plan for returning to racing is only as good as the people carrying it out and the success so far with races at Darlington, Charlotte and Bristol have made it easier to prove races can be carried out successfully. Fans who have tickets or camping reservations can get a cash refund or 120% credit toward the 2021 race weekend. The 120% credit applies to all Speedway Motorsports tracks (Atlanta, Charlotte, Bristol, Texas, Las Vegas, Kentucky, Sonoma and New Hampshire) Fans with tickets/camping reservations can get more information on the track’s website.

The race weekend kicks off July 9 at 8 p.m. with the XFinity Series Kentucky 200 (rescheduled from New

Hampshire’s race weekend). July 10 also will feature XFinity Series racing. The Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series Buckle Up In Your Truck 225 will be July 11 at 1 p.m. The Quaker State 400 presented by Walmart is scheduled for July 12 at 2:30 p.m.

All four races will be one-day shows – no practice or qualifying precedes the race.

This is the 21st year Kentucky Speedway has hosted NASCAR races and it will be the 10th Cup Series race at the 1.5-mile track.

Last year’s race saw Kyle and Kurt Busch battle with the elder Busch winning and earning Chevrolet’s fi rst Cup Series victory at Kentucky Speedway. That twolap shootout was the best fi nish of the Cup Series schedule in 2019 and Simendinger said the speedway was looking forward to building off that momentum for this year’s race weekend.

NASCAR and the UFC were the fi rst two major

sports in the United States to return to action after the coronavirus pandemic halted sports around the world and NASCAR has benefi ted from a TV ratings standpoint as a result.

The fi rst race back, The Real Heroes 400 at Darlington Speedway, earned a 3.71 household rating and more than 6.3 million viewers, according to ShowBuzz Daily. All Cup Series races have had more than 1.5 million viewers since the sport’s return.

SCHOOL NEWS Florence Elementary Science Club Through the Boone County Cooperative Extension Offi ce 4-H program, Florence Elementary off ered a Science Club under the direction of Haley Tucker, 4-H program assistant.

Florence Elementary Science teacher Amanda Byrd and third grade teacher Matthew George assisted in the club. The club included about 8 students both fourth and fi fth graders. The Science club started in January with anticipation of completing in May, unfortunately however, with the COVID 19 they only met three times.

During the fi rst meeting in January the student simulated erosion on a chocolate chip cookie. This was demonstrated by simply poking holes with a Q-tips and toothpicks and then submerging into water. This quickly deteriorate the cookie causing the cookie to crumble at a faster rate than normal. This represented the diff erent types of weathering/erosion that the earth undergoes. Each phase of erosion causes a different change to the Earth’s surface.

During the second meeting in February, the group made lava lamps. Using basic household items the group created a home version of a lava lamp by simply combining water and oil. To give it some interest, coloring was added and the fi nal product to cause the bubble eff ect, an alka-seltzer tablet, was added. The carbon dioxide released from the tablets caused a lot of bubbles to form. The color bubbles bounced up and down within the bottle giving it the lava lamp appearance. This taught the students about the density of diff erent liquids.

Unfortunately, the last meeting was in March which allowed the students to make bouncy balls from all natural materials again found at home, such as corn starch, water and glue. The natural items created a synthetic product to teach about polymers and chemical reactions along the way. The process was quick, causing the ingredients to harden to form the ball.

The remaining scheduled meeting would have allowed the students to get down and get dirty by working in the Florence Elementary garden in April and the fi nal meeting in May the students would have had a homemade ice cream party making their own ice cream bag.

The Science club gave the students a fun opportunity to learn and be creative with basic ingredients found at home with the help of our community friends at the Boone County Extension Offi ce.

Paddlefest has gone virtual due to the coronavirus Briana Rice Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Cincinnati’s annual Paddlefest on the Ohio River has gone virtual due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The event was supposed to bring more than 2,000 paddlers down on a nine-mile ride down the Ohio River.

Organizers cited potential health risks of large event during the COVID-19 pandemic as reasoning for the cancelled event.

“There are simply too many unknowns to move forward confi dently in planning Paddlefest, especially with the current mandate limiting mass gatherings,” said Miriam Wise, associate director of the nonprofi t Adventure Crew, which produces the event, in a press release.

Rather than gather in person, organizers encourage participants to complete the nine-mile paddle on their own.

This virtual event is being called Paddle for a Purpose because all proceeds ben-

efi t Adventure Crew, an organization that provides free outdoor recreation opportunities to city teens in 24 high schools in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.

Anyone who wants to participate can register online now through Aug. 8. It is $25 for adults and $10 for youth 17 and under.

2021 will be the 20th year of Paddlefest. Wise said, “While we’re disappointed that we can’t host an in-person Paddlefest this year, we don’t want to dis-

COMMUNITY NEWS Relief fund continues its work in Northern Kentucky Covington, KY – Horizon Community Funds of Northern Kentucky has announced its next round of funding to be released during the coronavirus pandemic.

The following organizations will receive immediate funding: • NKY Digital Equity Initiative for Students (facilitated by United Way of Greater Cincinnati – Northern Kentucky), $34,500 to bring critically needed internet access to K-12 students for summer learning • Esperanza Latino Center of NKY, $15,000 for rent, utilities, and other emergency supports for the Hispanic/ Latino families they serve • Be Concerned, $10,000 to purchase a new automated pallet jack and additional food supplies These additional grants bring the total to nearly $500,000 distributed directly from the Horizon NKY Coronavirus Relief Fund, which has raised more than $2 million to date for its emergency eff orts in Northern Kentucky.

“Northern Kentucky is beginning to open its doors and gauge where its biggest gaps are,” said Horizon Community Funds President Nancy Grayson. “Fortunately, the entrepreneurial, supportive spirit of Northern Kentucky will accelerate our progress, even in these times. Horizon Community Funds will complement existing eff orts and help fi ll in the gaps quickly, with a steady hand and careful eye on our community’s entire landscape of needs.”

The Relief Fund has generated 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.

Individuals and businesses are encouraged to donate by: • Texting “NKYRELIEF” to 44-321 • Visiting www.horizonfunds.org • Mailing a check made payable to Horizon Community Funds (memo: NKY Coronavirus Relief Fund): 50 E. RiverCenter Blvd., Suite 430, Covington, KY

Be Concerned, recipient of an additional $10,000 grant from Horizon Community Funds’ NKY Coronavirus Relief Fund, partners with more than a dozen nonprofi ts in Northern Kentucky to provide food and hygiene and cleaning products.

41011 “COVID-19 exposed the importance of access to technology, especially when it comes to virtual learning,” said Moira Weir, President and CEO of United Way Greater Cincinnati. “The Digital Equity Initiative will ensure no student is left behind. Maintaining educational and social ties during COVID-19 is the way to academic growth and positive mental health. This project is a perfect demonstration of the NKY spirit. Partners coming together for the common good.”

Preliminary data shows that approximately 11 percent of all Northern Kentucky students lack access to internet in their homes.

Through a partnership between NKY school districts, United Way of Greater Cincinnati (UWGC) and Cincinnati Bell, eligible students will receive prepaid basic internet service in their homes for six months.

The Horizon NKY Coronavirus Relief Fund advisory committee considers nonprofi t funding requests on an ongoing basis, focusing on organizations currently providing prioritized supports to Northern Kentuckians.

Other grants distributed from the fund include: • Meals on Wheels of Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky, $200,000 for Senior Meals on Wheels • Be Concerned, $150,000 for food, cleaning products, and hygiene products • Faith Community Pharmacy, $35,000 for critically needed medica-

tions • Sweet Cheeks Diaper Bank, $30,000 for diapers and feminine hygiene products • Learning Grove, $6,000 for delivery of essential goods to families • St. Vincent de Paul – Northern Kentucky, $4,500 for emergency family assistance “Thanks to Horizon Community Funds and all of their gracious supporters, Esperanza Latino Center of NKY was able to assist 25 Latino families from NKY with rental payments throughout the month of May,” said Esperanza Center Director Reid Yearwood. “This support provided much needed relief and prevented these hard-working families from losing their homes during such a diffi cult time. Esperanza Latino Center, on behalf of the community we serve, would like to give a big GRACIAS to everyone involved with the Horizon Coronavirus relief eff orts.”

Funds will be released on a rolling basis as fundraising continues throughout the remainder of the outbreak and recovery phases of the crisis, making it possible to move resources quickly and adapt to evolving needs in subsequent funding phases.

“The additional funding from Horizon Community Funds has been a huge help,” said Be Concerned Executive Director Andrew Brunsman. “We’ve learned a lot as we’ve distributed over $100,000 worth of product over the past 2 months. This new funding will help us be able to more

safely and effi ciently move the tremendous amount of food we are providing to partners by allowing us to have a powered pallet jack. The funds will also help address the gap of the food needs of local international students and students seeking assistance from FUEL NKU’s food pantry. We’ve learned a lot throughout this experience, and it’s been great that Horizon Community Funds has been with us every step of the way to make sure they are helping fi ll as many gaps to feed as many people in need in NKY as possible.”

Fund eff orts are supported by: The Butler Foundation, Central Bank, The Charles H. Dater Foundation, CTI Clinical Trial and Consulting Services, Drees Homes Foundation, Duke Energy, The R. C. Durr Foundation, Fifth Third Foundation, Fischer Homes, Forcht Bank, Heritage Bank, Huntington Bank, The Milburn Family Foundation, Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, Northern Kentucky University, The Scripps Howard Foundation, St. Elizabeth Healthcare, Republic Bank, and others.

Many generous individuals have also stepped up to off er 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. More than $250,000 has been raised so far for this fund, which continues to seek donations.

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 859.468.4665.

Horizon Community Funds of Northern Kentucky is a qualifi ed public charitable 501(c)(3) organization established as a community foundation in 2017 by Northern Kentucky leaders. Its mission is to unite resources to raise the quality of life for all people in the Northern Kentucky community. Learn more at www.horizonfunds.org.
