NKY takes ‘another blow’ More pandemic fallout as NASCAR takes pit stop from Kentucky Speedway

Amy McGrath goes from dreaming of ﬂ ying to aiming for Mitch McConnell Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Amy McGrath decorated her childhood bedroom in Edgewood, Kentucky, with posters of fi ghter jets and San Antonio Spurs basketball player David Robinson. She admired Robinson specifi cally because he served in the Navy before he astonished people on the basketball court, two things a young McGrath revered. She is now running for the U.S. Senate against incumbent Mitch McConnell, a Republican who has been in that offi ce for 35 years. Her story, as told in political campaign sound bites, has hit her high points. She is self-made. She is one of the fi rst women in this country to fl y in a fi ghter jet during combat. She is the mother of three. But she came to politics, especially as a Democrat, she says, because she realized not everybody gets what she had to fi ght for, even sometimes when they fi ght for it. She learned that growing up in Northern Kentucky.

Mary Jane Day loved hosting race fans and vendors in her backyard bed and breakfast cabin in Sparta, Kentucky during NASCAR race weekends. Day, 75, opened Backwood Acres Bed and Breakfast in 2008 after she and her husband couldn’t raise their cows due to her husband’s tractor accident. The cabin is tucked in the woods fi ve miles north from the track. Her guests liked to fi sh in a nearby pond and take scenic walks; for NASCAR race weekend she would have it booked nine months in advance. She heard the Kentucky Speedway wouldn’t host the NASCAR Cup Series in 2021 over the radio. She knew it would have devastating eff ects on the local economy. “It’s going to hurt,” Day said. The Kentucky Speedway races have been embedded in the culture and economy of Sparta, Ky, for two decades. The NASCAR series loss comes after the speedway already moved from two race weekends to one this year, with its fall races in the Xfi nity and Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series moving to Las Vegas this past weekend. Without the races, the city will lose part its identity. There won’t be NASCAR fans packed in local hotels, restaurants or bars every summer. The owners of the Kentucky Speedway, Speedway Motorsports, opted to move the race from Sparta to Atlanta Motor Speedway. When a NASCAR schedule is made, the track owners pick which of their tracks get which races. Speedway Motorsports CEO Marcus Smith spoke to FOX NASCAR about the decision Wednesday afternoon. His explanation didn’t go into specifi cs. “This was something, while diffi cult, it is the right business decision,” Smith said. Over the years, the series brought jobs, wider highways, even an airport to Gallatin County, Kentucky’s secondsmallest county. The Kentucky Speedway is estimated to lose up to 30 jobs, said Gallatin County Judge-Executive Ryan Morris, the county’s top elected offi cial. The roads built to support race weekend traffi c will stay. And, a new federally-funded airport once envisioned as being used by NASCAR fans will still be built.

Unfair ﬁ nish Enquirer columnist Jason Hoffman says Kentucky Speedway deserved a better ﬁ nish. 1B

The $152 million track fi rst opened in 2000. Now, it will evolve into a multiuse rental complex. The plan is to host special events, commercial television productions, music festivals, other racing series and stand-alone RV rallies and camping events. “Change is sometimes hard, but I’m looking forward to the many opportunities that lie ahead for our facility,” said Mark Simendinger, executive vice president and general manager of Kentucky Speedway said in a statement released The announcement “shocked” Morris and made business owners fret. When the speedway opened, tens of thousands of fans fl ocked to the track for IndyCar and ARCA Menards Series races. In 2011, it held its fi rst NASCAR series. When NASCAR came to town, the crowds swelled and a lot changed for Sparta, home to 231 people.

Infrastructure improvements supported the track In 2011, NASCAR fans fl ocked to Sparta for the inaugural Quaker State 400. They gridlocked area roadways leading to the speedway, according to The Enquirer archives. Some fans gave up and turned around while others were turned away once they reached the track. In 2012, a new traffi c plan for the weekend incorporated more than $11 million spent by the state and speedway on infrastructure improvements around the venue, according to The Enquirer archives. The state spent $3.7 million to widen Ky. 35 north of the interstate to fi ve lanes and widened the southbound exit ramp to Ky. 35. It also built a 42-footwide pedestrian tunnel underneath Ky. 35 that linked the speedway to a new 171-acre parking area across the state highway. The next major infrastructure investment near the speedway broke ground last summer. A small $25 million airport will be See NASCAR, Page 7A

Donald and Marianne McGrath raised three kids in their Edgewood home. First came Jane, then Matt and then Amy. They were not altogether a typical family. In the 1960s, Marianne was one of the ﬁ rst women to graduate from the University of Kentucky medical school. When the young doctor needed work on her residency at night, her husband Donald cooked dinner and took care of carpool duties for the kids. Amy was born in 1975. Marianne practiced medicine at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital while Donald taught high school English. See MCGRATH, Page 2A

be kicked out,” McGrath said, joking. McGrath didn’t want to wait a year as the admissions director suggested. She got the surgery, rehabilitated her knee, and attended the summer training program for incoming freshmen with “a big fat brace on,” she recalled. Nobody who knew her was surprised. Then the rules changed for women. McGrath graduated from the Naval Academy in 1997. She was excluded from being a pilot at fi rst because of less than perfect vision. At fi rst, she worked as a weapons system operator for the F/ A-18D Hornet. In 2002, she became the fi rst woman Marine to fl y in an F-18 into combat when she was deployed to Kyrgyzstan. She fl ew in combat missions into Afghanistan. Then she got Lasik surgery. Between 2004 and 2007, McGrath went back to fl ight school in Texas to become a pilot. There, she met her future husband, Erik Henderson, her fl ight instructor. McGrath told The Enquirer she wouldn’t go on a date with him until he wasn’t her teacher anymore. In 2011, McGrath had a congressional fellowship in the House and Senate Armed Services Committee. That role inspired her next step in life. “I realized, I think then I sort of already knew it, but it really reinforced the fact that if it weren’t for Democrats I wouldn’t have had a job in the last 24 years,” McGrath told The Enquirer. In 2017, she retired from the military as a lieutenant colonel. She launched her fi rst political campaign and came home to Kentucky. She is now doing what she can, she says, to take what she learned from her life of singular purpose to a diff erent platform. She says Northern Kentucky was and is quintessentially American. That it gave her values and tools. That it gave her a chance. Julia is the Northern Kentucky government reporter through the Report For America program. Anonymous donors pledged to cover the local donor portion of her grant-funded position with The Enquirer.

The three kids always had responsibilities around the house. Every three weeks they rotated who set the table, cleaned the table and washed the dishes. But it was not all work. “I was not into Barbies and I was not into pink,” McGrath told The Enquirer. “I just wanted to play with the boys.” McGrath and her brother, Matt, played basketball together and picked the University of Kentucky Wildcat basketball players to reenact. The future Marine often picked Sam Bowie, Kenny Walker or Dicky Beal. The family often took road trips. Matt and Amy always sat in the back of the station wagon, so they could trade baseball cards and play UNO. The fi rst job McGrath had was as a Dixie News delivery girl. She was 10. Her oldest friends and family members remember that McGrath told them she was going to be a fi ghter pilot before that was a thing women could reasonably expect to do. They were not surprised. She never had been a Barbie and pink bedroom kind of girl. Each day, McGrath rode with her mom for the journey across the Brent Spence Bridge to go to the Mercy Montessori school in Cincinnati. In 7th grade, she transferred to Notre Dame Academy in Park Hills. There, she met her best friend Aimee Molique. Molique sat at a large desk built for science experiments in homeroom. McGrath walked in wearing jeans – she didn’t have a uniform yet – which caught Molique’s eye. McGrath sat next to Molique and told her she was going to be, yes, a fi ghter pilot someday. For a history project, McGrath researched combat aircraft used in World War II. Her dad, who was a big historian, noticed that a History Channel documentary was scheduled, maybe that could help with her research. She vividly remembers an aviator who was interviewed in the documentary. “There are fi ghter pilots and then there are naval aviators,” the aviator said. “And only the best can fl y onto aircraft carriers.” McGrath decided she wouldn't just fl y jets. She would launch them and land them in the middle of the ocean. She

would be the best. It was 1987. There was time, she ﬁ gured, to ﬁ x the system. Before she even went to high school, she wrote letters to the Naval Academy to ask how to get in and why women weren’t in combat. She also penned opeds to the Kentucky Post and Cincinnati Enquirer to advocate for the change. As a pre-teen, McGrath didn’t know she had to go after the lawmakers to make a change. “My parents probably thought I would sort of grow out of it,” McGrath said. “But that never happened.”

A brush with Mitch McGrath became obsessed with getting into the Naval Academy. That's how she would become the best, she decided. She needed to research how to get into the academy. Google didn't exist yet. McGrath couldn't just plug in her questions to a search engine. So, at 12 years old she wrote letters to Naval Academy to ﬁ nd out what she needed to do to get in. Oh, and she also asked why women weren't allowed in combat, too. Her letters caught someone's attention. A lieutenant commander from the Naval Academy called Marianne at her medical oﬃ ce in 1987 to ask about her daughter. Marianne realized how serious her daughter's dream was and told

McGrath how to advocate for change. McGrath again picked up her pen. Donald bought rolls of stamps and Marianne taught her daughter how to write persuasive letters to members of Congress. McGrath sent a letter to McConnell, who was serving his ﬁ rst term in the U.S. Senate at the time. She didn’t hear back from McConnell but she did get a letter from now-former Colorado Congresswoman Pat Schroeder. Schroeder, the ﬁ rst woman U.S. Representative elected in Colorado, told McGrath she was right and to stick to her dreams. In the meantime, she worked at the Crescent Springs McDonald's on Buttermilk Pike. She played basketball on a winning team. And waited.

Midshipman In October of 1992, McGrath was in midst of prepping for a soccer game when she got the call. The Naval Academy admissions director told McGrath she was in – she wouldn’t need a senatorial or congressional nomination. “I said ‘I can’t wait, I’m in,” McGrath said. But in the spring of 1993, McGrath tore her ACL playing basketball in the region fi nals. “While I was one of the fi rst ones to be accepted in the class of '97 at the Naval Academy, I was one of the fi rst ones to

Fall days are perfect for apple dumplings Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

I was in the mood for apple dumplings so I made a batch. It was the perfect fall day for making apple butter and applesauce, too. I’m sharing recipes for both the dumplings and apple butter. If you

want the applesauce recipe, check out my abouteating.com site. Judy M., a longtime reader, loves the apple butter from Nashville House in Nashville, Indiana. “My sisters and I want to get together and make apple butter and we’re looking for that recipe,” Judy said. She has great memories of going there as a family and eating fried biscuits with apple better. I called Nashville House and they don’t give out recipes, so I’m sharing one I like and which, I hope, comes close to what Judy wants.

Apple butter You can make this without any sugar or a substitute, but the real deal contains sugar. Use a big pot since butter sputters as it cooks. Ingredients

Apple dumplings with cinnamon syrup. PHOTOS BY RITA HEIKENFELD/FOR ENQUIRER

NEWPORT – When Churchill Downs Inc. developed Newport Racing & Gaming, the owners hoped to create a Las Vegas-like atmosphere in Newport. That environment starts within 10 feet of the front door, where there are six Historical Racing Machines to gamble on. The $38.4 million facility at the Newport Shopping Center in Northern Kentucky opened Oct. 2, and Director of Marketing Gary Pecorello said he has recognized a demand for a facility like this in the Cincinnati area. “Each of our 500 Historical Racing Machines has Vegas-style games and themes that our guests will be familiar with,” Pecorello said. “We’ve seen an overwhelming support for a facility that has this.” The 17,000-square-foot gaming ﬂ oor used to be the location of a Chinese restaurant, but Churchill Downs began the process in May to convert the space into a casino-like atmosphere. With 500 gaming machines featuring large high deﬁ nition screens, guests can play classic games like Quick Hits, Lockit-Link and Stinkin’ Rich. Newport Racing & Gaming also features a simulcast room to watch horse races across the country. On the day of a race, guests can wager on races and watch the action on big-screen televisions. “We’ve had a lot of anticipation of the opening,” Pecorello said. "I can’t put a number on how many people we expect to see over the next few days, but we hope it’s a lot.” But the Newport Racing & Gaming facility won’t be able to pack in as many people as in a normal year. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, it has implemented several social distancing measures. Plastic dividers separate many of the gaming machines, and there is a service button on each machine that a guest can press to request a machine to be sanitized. “The pandemic brings a lot of hurdles, which we were all able to overcome,” Pecorello said. “One of the biggest things was the

plastic dividers in between all of the games, and in addition to that there’s a service button for a guest to have their machine cleaned.” The facility has created more than 70 full-time jobs, and Pecorello said Newport Racing & Gaming will help bolster

Kentucky’s horse racing industry. Revenue from the facility will be applied to Kentucky’s horse racing community, including the local Turfway Park in Florence. “Turfway Park has been around a long time, and it’s got a rich tradition of

racing,” Pecorello said. “For us here to be able to provide some additional revenue in purses to help those who live oﬀ the racing industry, that attracts more competition and makes it a much better product for racing fans.”

built about three miles away from the speedway near Park Ridge Road. It’s an idea that’s been around since the early 1990s but obtained the funding it needed last summer. The Federal Aviation Administration will pay for most of the project. The state spent $5 million to obtain the land for the 500-acre airport. Federal grants funded part of the project as well. One of the grant’s funding was poised to come from taxes levied on users via airline tickets and aviation fuel, according to a press release from Rep. Thomas Massie. It’s unclear if that was speciﬁ cally tied to this airport or others in Kentucky as well. Those infrastructure improvements aren’t moot now that NASCAR has left town, said Morris. He added they hope other racing companies use the track, such as the IndyCar Series. He said residents are driving on better roads; other businesses are looking forward to using the airport. Several companies submitted letters of support for the airport, including two companies in Ghent, about 20 minutes away from Sparta: North American Stainless and Nucor, another steel company Still, NASCAR’s departure will hurt the local economy, Morris said. He estimated local businesses will lose hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of revenue. The job loss will start at the Speedway. “A lot of the folks that are working there, they’re going to be losing their jobs because of this,” Morris said. “They’re friends of mine. It hurts when your friends hurt.”

Business owners fret Every business in Sparta will lose revenue because of NASCAR’s departure, Day said. She’s the chair of the Gallatin County Tourism board and well connected with other small business owners. She was able to book her cabin for the race weekends at least nine months in advance, she told The Enquirer. She usually made around $500 a week when someone rented the entire week, she

said. She’s hopeful another racing company will bring business to the city to help the hotels and restaurants. “It’s going to aﬀ ect our county. Not only our county but surrounding counties as well,” she said. Guy Cummins, co-owner of This and That BBQ restaurant in Florence, Ky., used the races to advertise. He said the name of his restaurant was on as many as 11 cars in the Cup Series at the Kentucky Speedway. “The drivers would put my name on their cars, and I’d bring them barbeque,’’ he said. “It was good advertising for me.” The region’s leaders wondered what NASCAR’s absence would do to other parts of Northern Kentucky. “Not only was the announcement tough on our Kentucky Speedway, it was yet another blow to our hotels, bars, restaurants, and retail businesses,” said Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Brent Cooper in a statement. “At a time when they’ve already been beaten up from the pandemic, they now have another economic challenge to deal with.” John Ellison, Board Chair of meetNKY, the Northern Kentucky Convention & Visitors Bureau worried places like the Ark Encounter, Newport Aquarium and the Cincinnati Zoo would feel the loss too. “The entire tourism industry in Northern Kentucky is disappointed in NASCAR’s decision to eliminate the July Cup Series event at Kentucky Speedway,” Ellison said in a statement.

BY THE WAY

Wifi, walk with candidates, and a voter turnout grant Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

This is an installment of reporter Julia Fair's series "By the way, NKY." Here, you'll fi nd what's going on in Northern Kentucky. The leaves are changing, people are adding pumpkin fl avors to recipes and you probably swapped out your T-shirts for cozy sweaters. As the season changed, a ton of things are happening in Northern Kentucky. The city of Covington is working to expand internet access to its residents and organizations are promoting voter participation. In this series, By the way, NKY – we focus on some of the good news happening in the region and to fi ll you in on what's going on in your neighborhoods. If there's something you think should be included, email reporter Julia Fair at jfair@enquirer.com By the way, here's what's going on in Northern Kentucky:

Wiﬁ hotspot hosts needed in Covington The city of Covington is on a mission to place 116 WiFi hotspots throughout the city to give internet access to school kids. The $2.5 million project, called Covington Connect, aims to "smash the digital divide," in the city, according to a press release from the city. The Covington Connect initiative will expand internet access by installing WiFi hotspots throughout the city and giving out free computers to families. The city said it will fund the initiative with up to $1.25 million in CARES Act funding. The city partnered with property owners to install a volleyball-sized device on the outside of their house to create a WiFi hotspot in that area. Now, anyone can volunteer their home or business to host the device.

If you're interested, email Pete Bales, a consultant hired to coordinate the Covington Connect initiative, at petebales@icloud.com. He can also answer questions.

Bike or walk with local candidates on the Purple People Bridge Running a political campaign is already stressful. Adding a global pandemic to the mix made it even more difﬁ cult for local candidates in Northern Kentucky to connect with neighborhoods. On Oct. 17, candidates vying for positions for a spot on a city council or a mayoral title will get the chance to walk and talk with constituents along the Purple People Bridge. Tri-State Trails will host the event from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., according to a Facebook event. Tri-State Trails asked participants to support its Active Transportation Policy Platform which can be found on its website. The Facebook event did not include which candidates agreed to attend.

Voter turnout effort got a boost with a grant In 2019, The Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce launched an initiative to increase voter turnout. That eﬀ ort got a boost with a $10,000 grant from the Murray and Agnes Seasongood Good Government Foundation, according to a press release from the chamber. The Horizon Community Funds of Northern Kentucky will manage the funds for the chamber to improve voter turnout. It plans to do that by engaging with infrequent voters and people without internet access. Since 2011, voter registration in Northern Kentucky increased by 25 percent. During the 2019 gubernatorial election, voter turnout increased by double digits compared to the 2015 gubernatorial election.

St. Henry boys, Cooper girls win regional golf titles James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

St. Henry District High School is used to winning regional titles in several sports. Not often in golf, as the boys golf team gave the school something new to celebreate Sept. 28 at Summit Hills Country Club. The program won its fi rst regional championship since 2000, winning the KHSAA Region 7 championship with a 305, 10 strokes ahead of runner-up Cooper. Head coach Jerod Cahill played on that 2000 team. Ryan Butler and Kevin Tobergte led the way by shooting 74 and tying for third place. Mason Butler shot 77, Matt Schaefer 80 and Gabe Ryan 85. “I’m very happy for the team, the coaches and the school,” Ryan Butler said. “It’s been a long time coming for St. Henry. We had a game plan coming in. We just stuck to it and hit our shots.” Schaefer shot 8-over his fi rst seven holes before going only 2-over during his fi nal 11 holes, illustrating the team’s balance and toughness. St. Henry was coming off the All “A” Classic state championship over the previous weekend, when the Crusaders shot a 300. Mason Butler was the top Crusader in that tourney, fi nishing second with a 71. Tobergte tied for sixth with a 74 and Ryan Butler 10th with a 75. “I’m glad to see the team come together,’ Tobergte said. “We all didn’t play our best but we grinded it out and shot good scores. We just had to stay fo-

cused the entire time and play our games. If you hit a bad shot, just forget about it and play the next shot.” Cooper junior Rylan Wotherspoon won the individual championship for the second straight year, shooting a 4under 66 to win by six shots over Conner senior Sam Tucker. Wotherspoon is currently leading the all-state standings heading into the state tournament in Bowling Green Oct.

6. He has won 10 tournaments this year, including the all-state tourney sponsored by the Kentucky coaches association. Many of the state’s top players were in that one. “It wasn’t going to be great scoring conditions today,” he said. “I just tried to hit the middle of the green and attack when it made sense to. I’m going to go See GOLF, Page 2B

Cooper High School stayed inhouse in fi lling its open girls basketball coaching position. Justin Holthaus is the new head varsity coach of the girls basketball coach, replacing Nicole Levandusky, who resigned in September after holding the job for the past seven seasons. Holthaus has been an assistant coach with Tim Sullivan and the boys program at Cooper for the past 11 years. A teacher at Cooper, he has helped Sullivan build one of the most competitive programs in Northern Kentucky and helped the Jaguars win the Ninth Region in 2017 and fi nish as state runner-up. Another assistant coach from that team, Ryan Bowman, will enter his fourth season as head girls coach at Boone County. “Coach Holthaus will not only bring a great deal of basketball knowledge with him but will also bring the knowledge and experience of what it will take to build a winning culture within the Lady Jags Basketball Program,” the Cooper administration said in a release. Sullivan praised Holthaus on Twitter Friday morning, including “Coach Holthaus has been ready to LEAD his own program! I can’t tell you how much love, pride & appreciation I have for my guy! His SACRIFICE & DEDICATION to our men’s program is a huge reason for our success over the past 11 years!” Levandusky was 80-114 in seven seasons. The Jaguars went 22-8 in the 2016-17 season, fi nishing as Ninth Region runner-up. Cooper went 9-19 last year but has a lot of promising young talent led by Division I prospect Whitney Lind, a sophomore. The Jaguars are in the 33rd District, one of the deepest in the state, along with county district rivals Boone County, Conner and Ryle. Ryle is the three-time reigning Ninth Region champions and state champs in 2019.

Highlands rolls over Conner in 5A district opener James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Highlands football team was all about making plays last week in practice. The Bluebirds made them early and often in their Class 5A, District 5 opener at Conner Saturday night. Highlands dominated the fi rst half and cruised through the second for a 36-0 in the district opener for both teams. “I’m excited,” said Highlands head coach Brian Weinrich. “We had a lot of fun. The guys worked hard and it was fun to see it pay off .” Highlands had more than 300 yards off ense in the fi rst half and limited Conner to two fi rst downs. The Bluebirds forced fi ve turnovers and had a punt return touchdown by senior Dominic Robinson. Highlands had lost to Simon Kenton and Boyle County while beating Ryle,

while Conner had dominant wins over Boone County and Campbell County. Weinrich said the team had to be aggressive in the game to get the district win. “Be disruptive,” he said. “Trust what you’re supposed to do. Trust the guy next to you and go make plays. We said ‘go make plays’ fi ve million times this week. Do your technique, give relentless eff ort, make a play. We made a lot of plays tonight.” Conner didn’t get a fi rst down until it was 28-0. Highlands took the opening kickoff and drove down for a score three minutes into the game on a touchdown run by Charlie Noon, Highlands’ sophomore quarterback. Highlands drove 81 yards on its next drive and led 14-0 with 1:03 to go in the fi rst quarter on a fi ve-yard run by Robinson. See HIGHLANDS, Page 2B

Kentucky Speedway deserved a better ﬁ nish Jason Hoffman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

I’ll never forget the lazy answer Kyle Busch gave me for asking a lazy question before last year’s Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway. “Kyle, what kind of racing can fans expect to see this week?” I asked, hoping for insight on how NASCAR’s latest changes to the downforce package used at 1.5-mile tracks might change the style of racing at Kentucky Speedway. “Well, there’s going to be one car leading and 39 others chasing him,” Busch said. Fair enough. “Right,” I responded. “Do you think the new aero package will change the way this race tends to get strung out or will we see tighter pack racing with that and the traction compound?” “It’ll probably be another race here where one car gets way out in front and nobody really has much of a chance of making a pass,” Busch said. “With this aero package, it’s almost impossible to get around a lead car.” Kyle, younger brother of 2019 Quaker State 400 winner Kurt Busch, will go down as the winningest driver in Kentucky Speedway history if NASCAR never returns to Kentucky, which is likely without a major overhaul. Last year, he and Kurt put on a side-by-side battle in the ﬁ nal laps of the race that was arguably the best ﬁ nish in the NASCAR Cup

Series season. This year’s race had a similar ending, albeit with no fans to cheer. Rookie Cole Custer won his fi rst Cup Series race in a green-white-checkered fi nish that was almost wilder than the Busch brothers duel the year before. The 397 miles before both of those fi nishes were nothing much to write home about. When news came Sept. 29 that Speedway Motorsports had decided to move Kentucky Speedway’s race weekend to Atlanta Motor Speedway – one of its seven other properties on the NASCAR national touring series calendar that will also be the site of a $1-billion development – I thought back to the

way Busch talked almost condescendingly about the track he dominated for the better part of 15 years. Even he seemed bored. Sure, Kentucky Speedway was a 1.5mile tri-oval that produced a lot of follow-the-leader racing, but you can’t solely blame that on the track. The layout of Kentucky Speedway is unique in that the two opposite ends of the track are designed diﬀ erently – it’s almost equal parts Charlotte, Las Vegas and Texas. It was built at a time when racing series were expanding their footprint and the layout meant it could host a wide array of series – both IndyCar and the Cup Series ran there in 2011, as well as lower divisions of stock cars and open wheels in years prior. In the end, Kentucky Speedway ultimately succumbed to its inability to bring in enough revenue for its parent company. “This was something, while diﬃ cult, it is the right business decision,” Speedway Motorsports CEO Marcus Smith said Sept. 30 in an interview with Fox Sports’ Bob Pockrass. Race tracks have three main sources of revenue: 1 TV contracts 2 Sponsorships 3 Money from tickets, concessions, parking and camping on race weekends Kentucky Speedway had been on NBCSports instead of NBC like the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor

Speedway. Its corporate sponsorships seemed strong with Quaker State as its title sponsor and Toyota as the track’s manufacturer partner. But crowd sizes had not been overwhelming in recent years do we have specifi cs? and this year’s unprecedented fi ve races in four days had no fans in the stands or campers staying all weekend at the campground due to restrictions in place because of the coronavirus pandemic. When NASCAR unveiled the Cup Series schedule for 2021, it did so with more road course races, new tracks and even a nice gimmick race on the calendar. But left out Kentucky and Chicagoland. Maybe NASCAR’s revamped schedule will rejuvenate a sport that’s seen declining viewership and attendance for more than a decade. Or maybe Kentucky Speedway is the canary in the proverbial coal mine and will never see NASCAR return without it becoming a diff erent kind of track – a total rebuild is unlikely. It’s hard to defi ne the legacy of a track that only hosted 10 races for the top tier of American racing, so I won’t try and do that. I won’t speculate how NASCAR could’ve spiced things up at Kentucky because that’s a futile exercise. I won’t even promulgate that IndyCar should make a run at having a night race at Kentucky Speedway soon. I’ll simply say this: Kentucky Speedway, and race fans in the region, didn’t deserve a crappy fi nish like this.

Highlands got the ball back to start the second quarter and scored again as Noon found Jason Noe over the middle for a 51-yard touchdown pass. On Highlands’ next drive, Mason South had two big runs into the Conner red zone. Noon fumbled the ball away, with Frankie Salzarulo recovering for Conner at the 1-yard line. Conner gave it right back on its next snap, fumbling the ball, and Highlands’ Sam Robinson recovered in the endzone for the Bluebirds’ fourth TD. After Conner got two ﬁ rst downs from the arm of QB Alex Castrucci, Noe intercepted a pass and returned it to the Conner 24. Conner stopped Highlands on fourth down at the 9, but went three and out. Dominic Robinson returned the ensuing punt for a TD. Noon rushed in for two to make it 36-0 in the ﬁ nal minute of the half and get the KHSAA running-clock rule going for the second half. Highlands’ dominance didn’t surprise its coach.

“The way we practiced, yes, especially the last couple of days,” Weinrich said. ‘We practiced this morning and got after it. They’re starting to put some things together and realize how all the pieces fi t. I’m really proud of how they practiced and how hard they played.” South, Will Hartman and Eli LaFrange also had interceptions. Noon had an effi cient game in the air after not throwing the ball much in the Bluebirds’ fi rst two games. He had rushed for over 100 yards in each one. “He threw the ball wonderfully last week (against Boyle County),” Weinrich said. “We were off on some connections and we made them tonight. It was all about making plays.” Highlands 14 22 0 0-36 Conner 0 0 0 0-0 H – Noon 19 run (Burleigh kick) H – D. Robinson 5 run (Burleigh kick) H – Noe 51 pass from Noon (Burleigh kick) H – S.

COMMUNITY NEWS NKY Relief Fund approaches $700,000 in support for nonprofi ts Horizon Community Funds of Northern Kentucky will distribute nearly $60,000 across four nonprofi ts this week, bringing relief support totals to $664,000 for Northern Kentucky. The four latest nonprofi ts to receive funding are: h Legal Aid of the Bluegrass: $36,812.50 h Oak Ridge Baptist Church: $14,181 h Diocese of Covington: $4,209.30 h Learning Grove, on behalf of local educator Linda Vila Passione: $3,060 “Our nonprofi ts and schools present very unique needs, as consequences of the coronavirus pandemic continue to ripple across Northern Kentucky,” said Horizon Community Funds President Nancy Grayson. “We deploy Coronavirus Relief Fund dollars with a careful eye on these needs, and a careful eye on how we can best fi ll in ongoing unforeseen gaps for our nonprofi ts.” Legal Aid of the Bluegrass, a nonprofit that provides high quality legal assistance to individuals and families in need, including direct representation, education, advice, advocacy, and community resource coordination, will receive $36,812.50. Legal Aid will use these funds to hire two staff attorneys and one intake counselor on a contract basis to service Northern Kentucky residents facing eviction through the end of the year. “The Coronavirus Relief Fund grant comes at a critical time in our community and in our organization,” said Legal Aid of the Bluegrass Executive Director Joshua Crabtree. “Legal Aid of the Bluegrass is being inundated with people needing legal assistance or guidance so that they can remain ‘Healthy at Home,’ and this grant allows us to meet this intensifying need with customary responsiveness. These relief funds increase our ‘live’ intake hours 25 percent through the end of the year so that many more people can receive the vital assistance they need.” Oak Ridge Baptist Lighthouse Ministries, serving an average of 100 families each month in Latonia Lakes and surrounding areas in South Covington with food products, will receive $14,181 to purchase a walk-in refrigerator and freezer to increase their storage capacity and equip them to serve more meals.

A group of parents gathers for a mentoring/tutoring session with Linda Vila Passione to help them overcome barriers to non-traditional instruction in Northern Kentucky. PROVIDED

“We have heard it said, ‘It takes a village to raise a child.’ Well, it takes a community united and working together in a spirit of love to successfully overcome hard times such as these,” said Oak Ridge Minister Byron Lile. “Horizon Community Funds of Northern Kentucky is a great example of bringing our community together by working with, and providing help for our support organizations. All of us at Oak Ridge Baptist Lighthouse Ministries are very grateful for the blessings we have received from the Lord by way of Horizon Community Funds, and we will do our best to use these blessings to bring many more blessings to families in need. Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible!” The Diocese of Covington will receive $4,029.30 to purchase two professional grade electrostatic sprayers to clean school buildings. The sprayers will be shared with 10 schools across the diocese, including St. Cecilia School in Independence. “We are very appreciative of our school community for taking the time to

research grants that will assist us in keeping our students and staﬀ safe,” said St. Cecilia School Principal Kenneth Collopy. “We are grateful to our School Board and Horizon Community Funds of Northern Kentucky for this grant that will provide disinfecting equipment to our school and our neighboring Catholic schools.” Learning Grove will receive $3,060 to contract with local educator Linda Vila Passione, enabling Vila Passione to provide tutoring that will assist 25 Hispanic/Latino families during non-traditional and distance learning in the Kenton County School District. “Throughout this pandemic, we have seen many examples of how families are struggling to be caregivers, breadwinners, and educators in an ever-changing world. We know this weight to provide educational support to children is even heavier for our families where English is not regularly spoken in the home,” said Learning Grove CEO Shannon StarkeyTaylor. “Learning Grove is proud to partner with Linda Vila Passione to provide much needed support to Spanish speak-

ing families in our region. We are so grateful that Horizon Community Funds of Northern Kentucky designated funds to support our families in an impactful way.” “I am grateful to Horizon Community Funds and Learning Grove for recognizing the need in the Hispanic community,” said Linda Vila Passione. “These funds will help me reconnect students to their lessons & guide parents in learning how to support their children in their education. A small pebble that will, hopefully, cause increasing ripples in the pond.” Individuals and businesses are encouraged to donate to the Horizon NKY Coronavirus Relief Fund by: h Texting “NKYRELIEF” to 44-321 h Visiting www.horizonfunds.org h Mailing a check made payable to Horizon Community Funds (memo: NKY Coronavirus Relief Fund): 50 E.

Tips to pest proof your home for winter Spiders, crickets, mice, and centipedes, (and other critters) oh my! We are not the only creatures that retreat indoors when the temperatures begin to drop. During this time of the year, many rodents and insects will enter homes looking for a warm place to stay.

through gaps under and around doors. Gaps as small as one-sixteenth inch will allow insects and spiders inside, and spaces as small as the diameter of the pencil (about one-fourth inch), will allow mice to enter. Pay attention to the door’s bottom corners, as this is often where rodents and insects enter. Fit garage doors with a rubber bottom seal. Close gaps under sliding glass doors by lining the bottom track with a foam weather stripping that is one-half- to three-fourths-inch wide. Seal openings where pipes and wires enter the foundation and siding with mortar, caulk, urethane expandable foam or copper mesh. These are common entryways for ants, spiders, wasps, rodents and other pests. Seal cracks around windows, doors, fascia boards, etc. Use a good quality silicone or acrylic latex caulk or sealant. Prior to sealing, clean cracks and remove any peeling caulk to help with adhesion. A key area to caulk on the inside of basements is along the top of the foundation wall where the wooden sill plate is attached. Repair gaps and tears in screens to keep out cluster fl ies, lady beetles and other pests. Some insects are small enough to fi t through a standard screen, and the only way to deny entry of these tiny creatures is to keep windows and doors closed during periods of adult fall emergence. Install one-fourth-inch wire mesh (hardware cloth) over attic, roof and crawl space vents to prevent wildlife entry. Be sure to wear gloves when cutting and installing hardware cloth, because the wire edges are sharp. Backing the wire mesh from the inside with screening will give you extra protection against insects like ladybugs, paper wasps and yellow jackets. Invest in a chimney cap to exclude birds, squirrels, raccoons and other nuisance wildlife. Raccoons, in particular, are a serious problem throughout Kentucky. Many chimneys become home to a family of raccoons, which are often infested with fl eas. Consider applying an exterior insecticide treatment. While sealing openings is the more permanent way to pest proof, it is laborious and sometimes im-

practical. Get the most from your barrier treatment by applying longer-lasting liquid formulations containing pyrethroids. Treat the base of all exterior doors, garage and crawl space entrances, around foundation vents and utility openings, up underneath siding and around the outside perimeter of the foundation. Be sure to follow all label instructions. Do not apply indoor insecticides. While these may control the insects you can see, they are generally not a long-term solution, because these pests are coming in from the outside and will continue to do so until you stop their entrance.

SCHOOL NEWS Beechwood music teachers named Teachers of the Year In a year when so much has been cancelled, music has carried on at Beechwood Independent Schools... and now its band directors have been recognized for their leadership. The Kentucky Music Educators Association named Austin Bralley the High School Teacher of the Year and Jacob Slone the Middle School Teacher of the Year for District 6, which includes Kenton, Campbell, Bracken, Pendleton, Grant, Owen, Gallatin, and Boone Counties. Bralley and Slone together lead band classes and instrumental music ensembles at Beechwood including the school’s Marching Tigers, who won the state championship in 2A (their ﬁ rst year in a new class) last year with their show, “Of Blood & Fire.” Earlier in the year, Bralley’s and Slone’s colleague, Taylor Ross, received the District 6 award for Elementary Music Teacher of the Year. The trio exempliﬁ es the next generation of leadership in the district’s proud tradition of excellence in music performance. This year’s competitive marching band season was cancelled due to CO-

The Reds may have lost in the wild card playoff, but the students of St. Joseph, Cold Spring, took advantage of the beautiful weather for some outdoor class time. Pictured here are Lincoln Schabell (front), and Logan Hesse, in Mrs. Parton’s seventh-grade class. PROVIDED

VID-19, so there is no state championship to chase, but that has not stopped Bralley and Slone. They have encouraged their students, both musically and in their personal lives, during a year unlike any in recent memory. Rather than give up on the marching season, the teachers worked with district leaders, band parents, and health experts to modify the marching season, as well as band classes during the school day. James Blair, senior trumpet player said, “It makes sense that they should

both get this award. They always go the extra mile to help the students. They are always working on something whether it’s the marching band show or teaching a new student how to play their instrument. I think for them, going above and beyond is more like part of the job description than an option.” The Marching Tigers shelved the competitive show they had planned for this season and instead are preparing to perform the music of Queen, which has proven to be a crowd favorite. Modiﬁ ed rehearsals and classes have given the music students at Beechwood a bit of normalcy, and the chance to do what they love: play music. Beechwood High School Principal

Justin Kaiser said, “In education, we always talk about putting students ﬁ rst. Austin and Jacob are just that…’student ﬁ rst.’ As new teachers, coming into the rich tradition of Beechwood Band AND handling the move to 2A with a state championship is unprecedented. They have been able to do this because they put our kids and Beechwood before themselves. More importantly, they do what is right for our kids, even when it may be unpopular. I am very proud to call them colleagues. They are Beechwood. We are Beechwood.” Senior Anne Gieske, who is also this season’s drum major, said, “The directors have shown great support and dedication to the band program during these trying times. They both truly care for us and we appreciate them pushing us to persevere through this season and make a great performance.” Anne Thompson, Beechwood Band Boosters

Making the most of a beautiful day The Cincinnati Reds may have had a bad day in the playoﬀ s last week, but the students of St Joseph, Cold Spring, enjoyed the day. Classes made the most of the beautiful weather and spent some class time outside. Linda Gabis, St. Joseph Cold Spring
