Walton-Verona senior overcomes condition to play college softball James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Her high school softball career didn’t end the way she wanted it to, but Faith Alford is grateful she had the opportunity to even take the fi eld. Three years ago, the 2020 WaltonVerona High School graduate couldn’t stay on her feet for an entire day. She didn’t have the energy to last through an entire day of school or through a game in her favorite sports. Through trial, error and eff ort, Alford overcame losing her senior year of softball to the coronavirus pandemic to being able to continue playing at the college level. Alford will play for Midway (Ky.) of the NAIA next school year, where she will major in marketing and communications at Midway. “It means a lot,” Alford said. “After getting my diagnosis, I didn’t know what my life would look like. I thought it would be impossible to play. I didn’t know if I could pitch again or play any sport. Three years later, knowing I’ll be a college player is special.” Alford has been diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), a neurological condition that aff ects blood fl ow and primarily causes symptoms when standing up from a reclining position. The diagnosis came after months of uncertainty as her allergies became uncontrollable. The syndrome aff ects at least 450,000 people in the United States, mostly women. NFL quarterback Nick Foles' wife has the condition and they have spoken in medical conferences. “She had to change her diet, water intake, and start taking new medication,” said head volleyball coach Angela Hummeldorf. “Even though Faith still has

some bad days due to POTS, she is able to manage it and live a normal teenage life.” During the fall of her sophomore year in 2017, Alford went to the emergency room several times and used nine EPI

Pens within two months. Her parents consulted several local doctors and called hospitals in the area to try to get an answer, but came up empty. In December 2017, Alford was accepted into the Mayo Clinic in Rochester,

Minnesota. A doctor there diagnosed the condition after testing her heart rate and blood pressure during a simple procedure called a tilt test, where she laid down for 45 minutes then stood for 10. “Every day I have to eat the right foods, drink a lot of water, take a lot of medicine,” Alford said. “I’m able to control it more now but earlier on I had a lot of issues.” Alford has to take two dozen pills per day and has made dramatic changes to her diet. She has to have equipment with her such as handheld fans and ice packs. She uses biofeedback techniques and has learned helpful breathing exercises. Fortunately, she has been told the condition is likely to go away in a few years as she grows out of it, but her lifestyle is a lot better than it was. “Softball, almost every game my dad would have to carry me out of the ballpark because I would pass out,” she said. “Sophomore year, I had to stop pitching and just play shortstop because I was tired all the time. It was hard to do day-to-day things. I would have to take naps, get out of school early.” Hummeldorf said, “Throughout the years, Faith had to wear an ice vest and See ALFORD, Page 2A

Taste of Belgium restaurant to open ﬁ rst NKY location Keely Brown Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Taste of Belgium has announced plans to open its ﬁ rst Northern Kentucky location. The popular eatery will be housed in the space formerly occupied by Abuelo’s Mexican Restaurant at Crestview Hills Town Center. “We’ve been asked for a long time to open in Northern Kentucky and this location is perfect for a Taste of Belgium

Bistro,” founder Jean-François Flechet said in a news release. “This opportunity also ﬁ ts well into our overall plan while we’re going through similar processes and procedures reopening our existing Bistros.” Taste of Belgium plans to have the Crestview Hills location open for carryout and delivery in the next few weeks while the company ﬁ nishes renovating the space. Patio and dine-in service will follow mid-summer.

Belgium waffles, the signature food item at Taste of Belgium, are ready for packaging at their location on 12th and Vine Street in Over-the-Rhine. The waffles are made from a large cast iron waffle maker Jean-Franois Flechet, the owner, brought back from his native Belgium. The restaurant, which opened in 2010 went through a renovation last year to expand the seating area. LIZ DUFOUR/THE ENQUIRER

Transportation plan includes new Ohio River bridge – and streetcar expansion ters to serve crosstown routes, east to west across the city; and new benches and shelters throughout Metro’s territory. In Northern Kentucky, the plan calls for a new $4.5 million transit station at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport to serve future route expansions.

Hannah K. Sparling Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The region’s 2050 plan for transportation includes a new Brent Spence Bridge, a new Western Hills Viaduct and – perhaps a surprise to some – a continuation of Cincinnati’s streetcar across the Ohio River into Newport. The plan – from the Ohio-KentuckyIndiana Regional Council of Governments – is a federally mandated blueprint of what transportation projects the region can expect over the next 30 years. The plan is required to look forward at least 20 years, but it gets updated at least every four. This is is not a deﬁ ning list of what’s to come: Just because a project is on the list doesn’t mean it will ever get funding. But these aren’t pie-in-the-sky ideas, either. The list is based on the amount of money OKI thinks will be available and projects OKI thinks would add value to the region’s transportation system. Plus, if a project is not on the list – see: the Eastern Bypass – that means it is not eligible for federal funding (though, the list is always subject to revision). “It’s not guaranteed. Actually, nothing is guaranteed,” said OKI Deputy Executive Director Robert Koehler. “Even the Brent Spence Bridge, everyone agrees, that’s a great project, and we gotta do it. But how are we going to pay for it? We keep including the Brent Spence in our plan because it’s got to get done.” Overall, the 2050 plan contains 205

projects expected to cost $8.5 billion. That will end up being a mix of federal, state and local funding. A few highlights:

The Brent Spence Bridge is at the top of the list. Replacing the Brent Spence Bridge is the most expensive item in both Ohio and Kentucky, projected to cost about $1.2 billion in Ohio and $1.3 billion in Kentucky. Just below that is a new Western Hills Viaduct, projected to cost $332.8 million. “They’re absolutely necessary,” said OKI CEO Mark Policinski. “They’ve got to be done.”

This past year she motivated the other players to work hard and want to do better.” Alford was named to the Tom Leach All-Resilient Team, a list of seniors who overcame physical problems and challenges to compete. The honors are compiled annually by Leach, who is the radio voice of the Kentucky Wildcats. This year’s team will be honored at the Kentucky High School Athletic Directors Association annual banquet. Holy Cross volleyball player Torie Houston was also honored by Leach. In softball, Alford hit .349 last year and was the number one pitcher, going

Public transportation has major projects in the works. Hamilton County voters just passed a $130 million a year sales tax for Cincinnati Metro, and that commitment to public transit is reﬂ ected in the plan. There are projects to add bus-only lanes on Montgomery Road, Hamilton Avenue, Glenway Avenue, and Reading Road. Combined, those four projects are expected to cost $590 million, a mixture of local and state/federal funding. Bus Rapid Transit, where at least a portion of a route is in a bus-only lane, was one of the major selling points of Cincinnati Metro’s levy. The OKI plan also calls for more alternative-fuel buses; new transit cen-

The softball season was canceled by the coronavirus, denying the Bearcats a chance for more postseason glory.

The vast majority of the funding is dedicated to highways, but there is some money dedicated to bike and pedestrian projects. That includes new or expanded trails, particularly along the Ohio River and the Great Miami River. In Kentucky, there’s a project to complete the CVG Loop Trail along the northern border of the airport as well as several projects to continue the Licking River Greenway, a plan to build a 14-mile trail that will connect Covington, Taylor Mill, Wilder and Newport.

Will the streetcar go to Newport? The Cincinnati Bell Connector isn’t carrying passengers right now – running empty to help stop the spread of COVID-19 – but the OKI plan calls for a $79.7 million expansion of the streetcar across the Ohio River into Newport. Koehler, OKI’s deputy executive director, said that project is “very conceptual at this point,” but an expanded See PLAN, Page 4A

“It’s awful,” she said. “I feel like we would have had a good year. I wanted to take the ﬁ eld one last time with all those girls and all the fellow seniors I played with for seven years. It’s really sad to think I’ll never put on the Bearcat jersey again.”

Newport Aquarium to open at the end of June Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Newport Aquarium has announced its opening day after extended closures due to the coronavirus pandemic. The aquarium will reopen on June 22, starting with three appreciation days exclusively for annual passholders from June 22 to 24. On June 25, all guests are welcome. Expect to see some changes, such as employees in face masks and limited daily capacity. Aquarium oﬃ cials said areas where social distancing can’t be achieved will be temporarily closed. That includes interactives, play areas and some animal encounters like the play climber, the crawl through tunnel and popups. Face masks or face coverings will be required for all visitors ages 3 and older and those wanting to enter the aquarium will be given a temperature screening.

streetcar could be another option for Northern Kentucky commuters and, if it got enough riders, it could help relieve congestion. “It doesn’t mean that OKI has pledged any funding to it,” Koehler said. "It just means it’s something (a group in Newport is) interested in pursuing and it has transportation and public beneﬁ ts.” The streetcar expansion project was submitted by Newport Commissioner Beth Fennell, who said her main goal was just to get the project into the OKI plan so it’s eligible for federal money. The expansion was also in OKI’s last plan, Fennell said. “Right now, this is the placeholder,” she said, but the ultimate goal is to get the streetcar to at least connect to New-

even deserve study,” Bauman told The Enquirer in 2019.

The Eastern Bypass didn’t make the list.

'This is going to change your life'

Notably missing from the 2050 plan? The Eastern Bypass, a proposed outer loop around the current outer loop that would go roughly 70 miles, from Springboro to Crittenden in Grant County. The main reason the Eastern Bypass is not on the list is money, Koehler said. One study projected the bypass would cost about $5.3 billion, more than half of the $8.5 billion pot of total money available. The bypass has also failed to gather broad community support, with Warren County Commissioner Dave Young calling it a “red herring” and Derek Bauman, a board member for the transit advocacy group All Aboard Ohio, calling it a “giveaway to sprawl developers.” “It’s just bad on its face, and it doesn’t

Aside from the point-by-point list of speciﬁ c transportation projects, the 2050 plan provides a glimpse at what Greater Cincinnati might expect for the future of transportation. The gist: more electric and autonomous vehicles, fewer crashes and cleaner air. Some of the changes will be slow, according to the plan’s predictions, but by 2050, most vehicles on the road will be electric or some technology other than the internal combustion engine widely used today. Up to 70% of vehicles will be fully autonomous, and as such, crash rates will be down about 75% compared to 2020. Ridesharing will become even more common, and private car ownership will become obsolete. Transportation and technology move

quickly and change constantly, Policinski said, so in all likelihood, that vision for 2050 will be completely diﬀ erent by the time we actually get there. But, he said, “we need to put out there an idea of what the future could look like. I think that’s critical. This is not just how to shorten your commute. This is going to change your life. This is going to change society.” About OKI OKI is the Metropolitan Planning Agency for an eight county region in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.

United Way seeks to give 1,000 NKY households internet for students Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

United Way of Greater Cincinnati and Cincinnati Bell will partner to give internet access to 1,000 homes where Northern Kentucky students in grades K-12 live for the upcoming school year. Approximately 6,000, or 10 percent of the 60,000 K-12 students in Northern Kentucky lack reliable internet service, according to a United Way release. A similar project is taking place with Cincinnati Public Schools, funded by Greater Cincinnati Foundation. The new program will start with 880 qualifying households in districts demonstrating the greatest need, according to the release. Those school districts are Boone County Schools, Kenton County Schools, Campbell County Schools, Covington Independent Public Schools,

Erlanger-Elsmere Independent Schools, Newport Independent Schools, Dayton Independent Schools, Ludlow Independent Schools, and Bellevue Independent Schools. The pilot programs to provide lowcost internet service, which start in June, will help partners identify ways to expand the Digital Equity Initiative to more public school students, according to the release. The shutting down of in-person learning by schools in March because of coronavirus made the digital divide that exists between some students clear, according to the release. Many students could not participate in online remote learning, according to the release. “COVID-19 exposed the importance of access to technology, especially when it comes to virtual learning,” said Moira Weir, President and CEO of the United

Way of Greater Cincinnati. “The NKY Digital Equity Initiative for Students program will ensure no student is left behind." United Way is seeking to raise money to provide internet access to more than 1,000 households, according to the release. Text “NKYWIFI” to 71777 to donate. A $78 donation will connect a household for six months of service at $12.99 a month, according to the release. Horizon Community Funds is helping to support the ﬁ rst 1,000 household donations, according to the release. "United Way is the perfect partner for this work, given their strong daily engagement with our community's school districts," said Horizon's president Nancy Grayson. Dayton Independent Schools Superintendent Jay Brewer said the computer and internet are the pencil and paper of

the 21st Century. “This is a great example of the collaborative spirit and power in Northern Kentucky to come together to level the playing ﬁ eld for students,” Brewer said. This eliminates another barrier to learning thanks to the United Way, Horizon Community Funds, and Cincinnati Bell, said Michael Borchers, superintendent of Ludlow Independent Schools. “Ludlow Independent Schools is proud to partner in a project that will help close to the digital divide in our community,” Borchers said. “We are a one-to-one district for technology and this allows our students the opportunity to connect to the educational resources available to them both at school and in their house. As we prepare for a new school year with many uncertainties, we know for sure that our families will be able to digitally connect with us.”

Indiana’s Highpoint Health to combine with St. Elizabeth Healthcare Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

St. Elizabeth Healthcare is expanding its footprint to Southeast Indiana. St. Elizabeth and Highpoint Health have signed a Letter of Intent to integrate Highpoint Health in Greendale and its associated physician group into the St. Elizabeth system, offi cials announced May 22. Offi cials said the transition for Highpoint Health and Highpoint Health Physician Partners comes after fi nancial struggles due to the coronavirus pandemic. “When Highpoint Health, like so many rural hospitals across the nation,

began facing signifi cant fi nancial challenges from COVID-19, St. Elizabeth provided assistance to help stabilize the fi nancial outlook for the system. Unfortunately, the signifi cant fi nancial strain made it impossible for Highpoint to recover,” offi cials said. But fi nancial issues for Highpoint, which was called Dearborn County Hospital until 2018, didn’t start with the coronavirus. The hospital, one of the few independents in the Cincinnati region, laid off 31 workers or less than 5% of its workforce in January and cut the hours of 50 more. It cited an increase in expenses, a decrease in patient volume, a reduction in reimbursements alongside a higher number of uninsured patients and in-

creased regulatory burdens. The two health care systems have also been developing a new cancer center in Dearborn County. The groups hope to close the deal by Aug. 1. “It is our hope and expectation that this future integration will provide Southeast Indiana with continued access to high-quality healthcare close to home for decades to come,” president and CEO of St. Elizabeth Healthcare Garren Colvin said in a statement. “Our joint vision is to create a new, comprehensive medical campus that encompasses not only the existing St. Elizabeth outpatient facility located in Greendale, but a dedicated cancer care center, full-service emergency department, a broad range of specialists, sur-

gery center and inpatient beds, which would improve access to healthcare in the region into the future.” St. Elizabeth will operate the hospital and outpatient services under the name St. Elizabeth Dearborn, and Highpoint Health Physician Partners would join St. Elizabeth Physicians, offi cials said. St. Elizabeth said it plans to invest approximately $50 million in capital projects and technology investments over the next fi ve years. In 2016, the then Dearborn County Hospital had entered into an affi liation with TriHealth. No assets or money exchanged in the affi liation, which gave Dearborn County patients access to TriHealth’s specialty and subspecialty care.

SCHOOL NEWS Senior distance and cross country runner Natalie Lienhart reflects upon the adversity she’s faced through Q&A HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – McAuley graduate Natalie Lienhart is looking forward to her new normal after graduating college with a degree in Computer Information Technology. Throughout her time as a cross country and track & fi eld athlete at Northern Kentucky University, she has made several transitions in both her athletic and academic life. The Cincinnati native discusses how she overcame multiple injuries, switched majors and the program’s evolution since she started competing four years ago as a Norse. Q: What drew you to NKU, other than it being close to home? A: When I started looking at schools, I wanted two things: to be able to run and it also have my program. Originally, I went in with Computer Forensics in mind, but that is now my minor. It also helped that I really liked the team, the coaches and the atmosphere. Q: How did you get into Track/Cross Country? A: In sixth grade, my twin brother decided to try track. I had to go to all of his practices and meets anyway, so I decided to join in. I went to the distance side of track right away, which is funny because I skipped right over sprints. In 7th grade, we then both decided to run cross country. Q: What did your recruiting process look like? A: My high school coach actually ran against Steve Kruse in college, so he helped me reach out to him. My mom and I talked back and forth between him and Paul Longano. Q: Talk about the team atmosphere. A: It’s defi nitely changed over the years; since my freshman year it has grown from a younger team to an older team. This year has become a whole new team. And I think we’ve bonded a lot more, especially between the cross country and track & fi eld athletes. Q: How do you mentally prepare for a meet, since it’s an individual competition with a team outcome? A: We have a routine we go through every time we have a meet. Depending on the course, we talk through it and individually tell the team our goals. For cross country, it was a big deal for us to have the cross country meet at NKU this year because we were able to actually walk through the course. For track & fi eld this past indoor season, I was just supposed to hold on to the top pack for dear life and I was able to do that. Because of that I was actually able to set a PR (personal record). Q: What is your favorite part about competing? A: I like the team aspect of it and getting to watch other people compete. I think being able to support my teammates is one of the best parts of this sport. We had a lot of people do really well this year and it was super exciting to see. If one person breaks a school record everyone else gets super motivated by it, especially last year in outdoor conference. I wasn’t able to com-

pete but I was able to cheer on. Q: What would you like tell freshmen that will be competing at NKU? A: Value your time as an athlete and student and trust the process. You may have an off -race, meet or even season, but don’t let that discourage you. Things do come with time, you just have to wait. We have amazing coaches at NKU that have gotten me where I am, so you have to trust them and that they know what they’re doing. Q: What challenges have you faced as an athlete and how have you overcome them? A: I’ve had a few diff erent injuries and I just needed to look at the bigger picture. The last one I had was a concussion for two and a half months one season. I started competing again and then they realized I hadn’t fully recovered. The hardest part for people is trying not to rush to fast into things; a little pain could lead to bigger pain. Q: What is your major and what do you plan on doing after graduation? A: My major is computer information technology. After graduation I’m trying to fi gure out a few diff erent options because I’d like to teach people about technology and tell people how they can improve at it. I also might be starting a master’s program soon, just to get a little more education on this specifi c fi eld. Before the University shut down due to the virus, I was working at the tech bar at NKU. It’s defi nitely been a slow process trying to fi nd a full-time job, but I’m just trying to be patient with companies. I mentioned my brother before; he goes to University of Cincinnati and just graduated with an Athletic Training major. We haven’t offi cially done anything to celebrate yet. There are six people in my family graduating this year, so eventually we’ll get pictures together and celebrate at a later time. Q: How are you involved at NKU? A: I’m a SAAC representative for our team and was one of the track & fi eld captains. It gives you a whole diff erent perspective; mostly it has given me a lot of

leadership experience. Basically, I’m just making sure everyone is doing well; talking with the my teammates who are injured and making sure they’re not rushing back into [competing]. Q: What do you do when you’re not competing, practicing or studying? A: I really like to do 3D puzzles, rubiks cubes and spend a lot of time with my family. I just stayed home for spring break and so once this all started, I was able to quickly get moved back home after living on campus.

SPORTS Matt Guy hits his mark as world’s best cornhole player Paul Daugherty

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Not long ago I heard tell of a man who could toss a cornhole bag from one side of his house to the other, over the garage roof, onto the cornhole board and into the hole. Legend had it he was an ordinary man, neither large nor small nor possessing superhuman powers. Just a guy – literally, his name is Matt Guy – working a normal job selling cleaning supplies for a local company. Three kids, two dogs, a wife. But also an eight-time world cornhole champion, a man who once threw 56 cornholes in a row, has a sponsor and is treated like a god (or like Elvis, which is about the same thing) whenever he walks into the cornhole tournament arena. “People from around the world want to pick my brain,’’ the man says. He’s Elvis entering the building. “When I walk in, you can see the heads turn. I carry extra bags, to sign.’’ Go ahead and laugh, but I’m betting you’ve never been Best In The World at anything. Matt Guy, 49, Northern Kentucky lifer, is the best cornhole player in the world. And so it came to be that on this most memorable and awesome of Thursday afternoons, I was in Matt Guy’s front yard in Alexandria, Kentucky, watching cornhole bags fl y over his garage roof. “Short,’’ his son Carson, 14, says. Carson is standing in the front yard by the board, phone video rolling, on the chance his dad drops a throw right into the hole. It’d be great video for Matt’s website. Matt is maybe 100 feet away, in the back yard, turn-throwing a personalized bag fi lled with plastic pellets over the roof of the garage. “Left,’’ Carson says. All feats of greatness come from humble beginnings. Matt Guy started out in Cold Spring, KY, pitching horseshoes with his dad at picnics on weekends. He wasn’t good at it, but he was attentive. He noticed the best pitchers turned their wrists 180 degrees just before they followed through, launching the twopound, 10-ounce shoe 40 feet. Within a year, Matt was a top-10 horseshoe pitcher in the world. (Yes, there is such a ranking.) Fast-forward to 2000. Matt is driving a bread truck on the west side of Cincinnati, when he spies a small sign promoting a cornhole tournament that weekend. Matt says, "Hmmm." Throwing a one-pound square bag fi lled with plastic pellets requires the same wrist turn as horseshoes. “The bag comes out of your hand spinning and fl at, which is what you want,’’ Matt explains. “Top four fi ngers sit on it, underneath, not squeezing. Thumb on top. Don’t throw it. Let it slide out of your hand.’’ Matt picked it up cornhole easily and quickly got good at it. Or as he puts it, “I was instantly destroying See CORNHOLE, Page 2B

Doc Morris scholarships honor umpire James Weber

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Doc Morris has been gone from the Northern Kentucky baseball community for 30 years now. His legacy and memory live on long after the beloved local umpire died at age 50 in 1990. Morris’ name has been a fi xture in the area since then, with an annual high school tournament in his name, and a scholarship fund. The coronavirus pandemic wiped away this year’s tournament along with the rest of the KHSAA baseball season, but not the scholarship money. The Northern Kentucky baseball coaches association awarded three $1,000 scholarships June 11 during a private dinner with the recipients and their families. Normally, the awards are given out at the annual East/West all-star games, which were scheduled for last week before the pandemic also wiped them off the schedule. “I love him to death,” said longtime Dixie Heights head coach Chris Maxwell. “To die at such a young age was unfair to not just his family, but everyone in Northern Kentucky. He did more for youth sports than I can remember. It’s a great thing to honor him and to keep this thing going. We’ve gone from one $500 scholarship to three $1,000 ones.” While Morris was working high school games, he would always take time to instruct players when they were breaking rules, such as balks in their pitching motion. Morris, who worked for the state highway department, would help maintain the fi elds in the community. “The thing I remember about Doc is he had a heart of gold,” said Michael Foulks, a principal and educator for nearly 40 years who now works at Newport High

School. “He worked for the state highway department and there wasn’t a football ﬁ eld in Northern Kentucky that Doc didn’t throw fertilizer and grass seed on. Every spring he stopped at just about every ﬁ eld and threw out seed for them.” The scholarships go annually to three local high school graduates who are currently in college. This year’s winners are Newport graduate Michael Lewis, Silver Grove graduate Elian Turcios and Ludlow graduate Thomas “T.C.” Eads.

Lewis, a fi ve-year standout on the diamond for Newport, graduated in 2014, then graduated from Pikeville University. He is now at the University of Pittsburgh majoring in social work, and wants to come back to the Newport area and make a diff erence. Turcios graduated in 2018 from Silver Grove, where he played six years of baseball and is now majoring in construction management at Northern Kentucky University. Turcios, whose family moved here from Honduras, is always willing to help others, said his coaches. “Their mom, their dad, all the kids were always there and I looked around and not a lot of the other parents were there,” said former Newport coach Grady Brown. “Elian is smart, but he didn’t want everybody to know that. I knew Elian was going to make something of himself.” Eads, a baseball standout at Ludlow, played for Berea College and has transferred to NKU for academics. He received fi ve nominations after his father died in May. “He has had a tough life and upbringing,” said one of the nominees on a nomination form. "I have never had a player work harder with his academics or athletics. There were times when we had no idea if he had even eaten on some days.” “The scholarship money helps a lot with everything going on,” Eads said. “I’m ecstatic. It’s a privilege and an honor to be voted for this.” The Doc Morris Scholarship Tournament has been a fi xture in Northern Kentucky since soon after his passing. For many years, it was a 16-team single-elimination tournament before recently changing to an invitational with every team guaranteed three games. Maxwell said the showcase would expand next year to include brackets for small schools, hoping to include at least 12 teams from Northern Kentucky and elsewhere.

NAIA approves plans for fall sports season James Weber

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) announced an update June 4 for the 2020 fall sports season as it works toward resuming competition after a halt in March due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Thomas More University will enter its second season in the NAIA as a member of the Mid-South Conference beginning with fall 2020. The NAIA's Council of President Executive Committee approved three national oﬃ ce recommendations that included a return-to-play threshold, start dates and maximum contests allowed for fall sports. The return-to-play threshold goal is for about half the participating institutions in each sport to receive clearance

from local authorities to return to competition before the season can begin. For example, NAIA football has 95 participating institutions. When half (47) of these programs gain clearance from authorities to play, the NAIA football season will be authorized to begin. According to the NAIA, "The ratio-

everybody.’’ Cornhole might be the essential backyard, beer-drinkin, backslappin’ pastime. Even now, two decades later, Matt occasionally will enter events at church festivals and such. But by 2005, he was big time, helped along by another local guy, Frank Geers, president and CEO of the American Cornhole Organization. Guy met Geers at a cornhole event hosted by former Bengals QB Carson Palmer. Geers had big plans for cornhole. Matt was all in. For six consecutive years, 2006-2010, Matt Guy won the world cornhole singles title. “On the board!’’ Carson yells. Matt’s latest spinning toss over the garage roof has landed on the bottom of the board and bounced to within four inches of the hole. Matt explains that the spinning caused by the wrist turn ensures the bag will ﬂ y ﬂ at, then slide straight when it hits the board, not left or right. This is essential to cornhole greatness. Matt’s rise mirrored his sport’s. He

nale for this decision is that a signifi cant number of institutions need to participate to off er student-athletes a signifi cant competitive and championshipcaliber experience. Additionally, the fewer the number of participating programs, the higher the likelihood of scheduling challenges leading to increased travel costs and missed class time." Based on input from NAIA presidents, ADs, commissioners, athletics trainers, and health care professionals, the COP Executive Committee approved the recommendation of practice and competition start dates for each sport. The practice start date for all sports will be Saturday, Aug. 15. As a result, any activities deemed practice by the NAIA are strictly prohibited through Aug. 14. Only individuals identifi ed with TMU can participate in TMU practices. Competition start dates are set for

Sept. 12 for football, and Sept. 5 for all other fall sports. With delayed start dates, the committee approved a reduction in the maximum number of contests as follows: cross country, seven meets (down from eight); football, nine games (down from 11); soccer, 14 games (down from 18); volleyball, 22 dates (down from 28). The NAIA intends to host all fall national championship events as currently scheduled. At this time, there are no planned changes for winter sports. The NAIA will begin to evaluate the possible impact of COVID-19 on the winter season. Thomas More University and the Mid-South Conference will move forward with fall sports schedules that will be released when decisions become ﬁ nalized. Thomas More will continue to follow all of the guidelines from the CDC and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear.

even has his own line or cornhole-abilia on his website, Guy Nation. The world championship used to feature 64 players. Now, you have to qualify for it, by accumulating points in tournaments throughout the year. One of those, the ACO Major, is this weekend at the Western Hills Live sports mall. Players from all over the country, as well as Germany, Australia and Canada, are entered in the world championships. The equipment has evolved, too. No one serious about cornhole uses a bag ﬁ lled with corn. “Mice love them,’’ Matt explains. “Corn breaks down, turns to powder and the bags are mush.’’ Some boards used to be made of paneling (too thin) which caused the bags to bounce. Some boards weren’t smooth. “You had to have a repertoire of throws back in the day, to adjust for the board,’’ Matt says. He has his own boards now, with the Slick Woody’s logo. Matt and his son Bret – 2013 world champion at age 19 – travel the circuit in Matt’s 2011 Chevy Cruze, up to 20,000 miles a year. They’ve been world doubles champs twice. “I cannot tell you how many times I get up at 5 a.m. on a Saturday, drive six

to 10 hours, play in a tournament and drive back home,” Matt told an interviewer not long ago. “When our kids were younger, we vacationed in Florida. I’d play in tournaments on the way to Florida and again in Florida. The money I won paid for our vacations.” Matches are one game, tournaments are usually double-elimination. Cincinnati used to be the “mega-base’’ of cornhole, says Matt. In the past decade, its prominence has slipped dramatically. Matt’s has not. In July, he will play in this year’s world championships in Columbia, South Carolina, for a shot at $5,000. “To the right,’’ says Carson. Matt has tossed 24 bags. None has found the mark. Three hit the board on the ﬂ y; one of them skimmed the hole. Not even Cornhole Elvis can blindly nail a cornhole from 100 feet away, on the other side of the garage. Not on this day, anyway. Matt sets up two boards back to back, their holes a couple inches apart. He grabs two bags in his right hand. The goal is to drop each of the bags into the hole. This trick might be harder than the other one, he says. The two bags spin and ﬂ y and. . .

Planning ahead to preserve the harvest People have been spending more time at home with the recent pandemic guidelines. Many have chosen to plant a garden. Gardens can be educational, provide an outlet for creativity and purpose, and supply our loved ones with tasty produce. Mason Now is the time to be thinking about what you will do with what you will be harvesting. Maybe you plan to share the freshly harvested items with others. Maybe you plan to can, freeze or dry the products for your own use later in the year. Thinking ahead about what equipment you need to safely prepare and store your foods is important. You may need extra freezer space or canning or dehydrating supplies. It is important to not wait until the last minute to make plans for what you will do with your summer bounty. The Boone and Kenton County Cooperative Extension Services will be oﬀ ering online educational sessions on canning, freezing and drying produce. Food preservation is a science.

BY ANDY KRAVIS / EDITED BY WILL SHORTZ Andy Kravis, of Brooklyn, joined The Times as an associate puzzle editor in April. A 2013 graduate of Columbia Law School, he previously worked as a Transgender Rights Project Legal Fellow for the L.G.B.T. rights organization Lambda Legal before turning to puzzles full time. In addition to the theme, Andy tried to include as many fresh answers in the grid as possible — including 1A, 104A, 4D and 82D, none of which have appeared in a Times crossword before. — W.S.
