St. Elizabeth frontline COVID-19 nurse gets vaccine ‘to eliminate this beast’ Terry DeMio Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

She has locked eyes with frightened patients and comforted estranged families while working on the frontlines of the novel coronavirus pandemic in Northern Kentucky. And now, Lee Ann Ernst has been inoculated with her fi rst of two COVID-19 vaccines. Months into her intense work as a nursing supervisor and as coordinator of the St. Elizabeth Infectious Disease Response Team (IDRT), Ernst found joy on Dec. 15. “I couldn’t wait to get the vaccine. I almost couldn’t sleep the night before,” she said Dec. 16. “As a nurse, with what I know, seeing what I have seen, I was excited to get the vaccine.” What Ernst has seen includes crestfallen faces of those diagnosed with COVID-19 while in the emergency room. She’s seen patients fi ght to breathe. She’s seen them ventilated. She has seen their families estranged from her patients. “Who wants to bring their loved one to the hospital, admit them and not be able to see them after that? Nobody,” Ernst said. “It’s one of the most horrible side eff ects of this. Another reason to take the vaccination.” Ernst and her team were trained for this work. She has been the only coordinator of the IDRT, as they call it, since its inception as a response to the Ebola crisis of 2014. But these core workers, of course, have never taken on such a formidable opponent as COVID-19. The pandemic has had them training hundreds of new team members – the Infectious Disease Response Team of 2020, Ernst calls them. They are centered at the St. Elizabeth-Fort Thomas hospital, the “epicenter” of COVID-19 treatment in Northern Kentucky, some employees call it. The hospital started with 14 COVID-19-focused ICU rooms with 20 adjacent rooms in waiting. Now COVID-19 treatment has taken over much of the hospital. Ernst is back treating ER patients at the Edgewood hospital. There, too, she sees the pandemic. “We have COVID patients that present to the ER I would say every day,” she said. “They come in, they’re sick, they’re symptomatic or maybe they have chest pain, stomach distress. You fi nd out they’ve got COVID.” Despite all of this, Ernst did not take lightly the decision to get vaccinated. She considered the science, weighed the possibility of unknown side eff ects she could get years from now, she said.

St. Elizabeth Edgewood Nursing Supervisor Lee Ann Ernst, the coordinator of the St. Elizabeth Infectious Disease Response Team, gets the COVID-19 vaccination on Dec. 15. Ernst's team of frontline caregivers was instrumental in training staff and treating COVID-19 patients at the St. Elizabeth-Fort Thomas hospital, the epicenter of treatment for the hospital system. PROVIDED PHOTOS

But “now” is what it came down to for her. “I miss my family. I miss my friends,” Ernst said. “There’s nobody that says, ‘I don’t want to get my life back.’ Nobody says, ‘I don’t want to see my family. I don’t want to go to the store without a mask on.’ “ And from her professional perspective as a nurse at the frontlines, she said: “I know what the primary eﬀ ects are of COVID. And I don’t want to have any part of it. Shortness of breath. The diarrhea. The blood clots.” “According to the scientists and experts, this is the way to handle this thing,” Ernst said. “We trust the scientist to treat us and take care of us when we’re sick. Now they’re telling us as a population of people, this is what we need to do.” The choice for Ernst to get the vaccine that just received federal emergency approval for market Dec. 11 was obvious, she said. “We have to take every opportunity that we can to eliminate this beast.”

Two nurses with the St. Elizabeth Infectious Disease Response Team pose in late May 2020 after suiting up to care for patients with COVID-19. The team was the ﬁ rst group called to the frontlines at St. E-Fort Thomas to care for novel coronavirus patients in the ICU.

Historic Black cemetery vandalized with anarchist symbols, headstones toppled Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Mary E. Smith Memorial Cemetery was vandalized this month with approximately 30 headstones toppled and others defaced with spray paint, police said. Elsmere Police Chief Joe Maier said the vandalism took place sometime in early December, possibly on Dec. 3, but no witnesses have been identiﬁ ed and there was no video surveillance. Oﬃ cials believe juveniles may have been behind the vandalism due to the anarchist symbols found spray-painted at the scene, the letter “A” with a cir-

cle around it. Elsmere City Manager Matt Dowling said it would be unusual for anarchists to target a Black cemetery. “Most anarchists usually are not racists, but instead believe in social equality and have a distrust of wealth, privilege, and government,” Dowling said. The cemetery’s board has contacted its insurance company and has asked Duke Energy to install more street lights near the cemetery. “Regardless of whether this crime was perpetrated by a juvenile, anarchist, or racist, it has no place in the City of Elsmere,” said Mayor Marty Le-

It is located at 1120 Martin Luther King Avenue and is operated by a volunteer board. Elsmere police are still investigating the incident.

NKY cafe owner criminally charged after violating governor’s COVID-19 order Jennifer Edwards Baker Fox 19

A northern Kentucky business owner faces criminal charges after violating Gov. Andy Beshear’s order closing inperson dining at restaurants and bars to try to curtail the spread of COVID-19. “It seems aggressive for selling sandwiches,” said Richard Hayhoe of Beans Cafe & Bakery in Dry Ridge and Hebron. “It is going to be interesting to see what direction this takes. We are looking forward to our day in court.” The Grant County Sheriff ’s Offi ce served Hayhoe with the criminal complaint summons at his home on Dec. 15, said his attorney, Chris Wiest. The documents informed him he was charged with two misdemeanor counts of operating a restaurant without a permit, one in Grant County and another in Boone County. Beans continued indoor dining after losing its food permit in November for defying the order. He also established “Beans Freedom Defense Fund.” As of Dec. 16, the GoFundMe fundraiser generated $6,970 toward a $10,000 goal. “We have received many emails and requests from others that appreciate our standing up against the businesssuff ocating dictates coming from Governor Andy Beshear’s offi ce,” reads Beans’ GoFundMe page. “Beginning Friday Nov. 20 at 5 p.m., our indoor dining room was no longer allowed to be used to eat in. I could, however, purchase tents, heating equipment & lighting and simply seat people outside. The irony of seating people inside a tent that is outside is not

lost on the common sense of regular thinking but that is the ridiculousness of the rules we must follow! We will be keeping our dining room open until such time that we have exhausted every legal avenue to defend the business against these unlawful guidelines. “You have asked how you can support our standing for freedom so we have created this page to allow those that choose to help in any legal issues that we may ﬁ nd ourselves embroiled in by standing up for your right to choose where to eat and what to wear!” Restrictions on indoor dining in Kentucky that went into eﬀ ect Nov. 20 ended Dec. 14. Beans’ owner told FOX19 NOW Dec. 16 that he kept in-person dining going because stopping it would have resulted

in immediate layoﬀ s for his 35 employees. That would have been a tough blow, especially right before the holiday, he notes. “They are counting on that paycheck,” he said. “We need to keep these people working so they can get gifts for their loved ones, keep their homes, keep their families warm and fed and the lights on. The people who work in the restaurant industry have more of a need for that pay every week and in their pocket. They have real obligations. They don’t have bank accounts and 401ks. That’s a reality.” Now, Hayhoe and his lawyer are ready for another legal showdown with the governor and Northern Kentucky Health District.

“Chris Wiest and I will go to court anytime to keep employees working in an inspected, hygienic dining room just before Christmas!” reads a Facebook post from Beans Cafe Dec. 15. Hayhoe joined other northern Kentucky business owners who sued over similar COVID-19 orders from Gov. Beshear earlier this year. They won in local county court, but ultimately lost in the state’s top court. The governor’s lawyers successfully argued the orders saved thousands of lives and he has the constitutional authority to invoke emergency powers during a pandemic. Weist tells FOX19 NOW they will challenge the criminal charges in both Grant and Boone counties. “This is the same restaurant that sued the governor over the summer. This looks and smells like retaliation,” he said Dec. 16. “This would have been a human tragedy had he closed, his employees would have been laid oﬀ and some of them would have been homeless. These employees were depending on him for a job and to keep their homes and families going. He was willing to risk his own liberty, his own freedom. “This is an absurd attack on a small business by a governor and a health department that are out of control. We intend to vigorously defend these charges in both Grant and Boone Counties in front of juries composed of the community. I am going to put the governor on trial.” FOX19 NOW has requests for comment into a spokeswoman for Gov. Beshear and Northern Kentucky Health District. This story was reported by Fox 19.

NKY land battle: Eminent domain, accusations of ‘disturbing’ power use Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COLD SPRING – The building in Northern Kentucky had a past that was anything but controversial. It was home to the national headquarters of an organization that serves disabled veterans, helping to connect them to medical appointments and other services. When that nonproﬁ t decided to move, the building’s future looked good too, as developers secured a deal to transform it into a medical facility with some possible homes. But now, this plot of land is at the center of a controversial land ﬁ ght that features major institutions, rare legal powers, and accusations of misusing government power.

A ‘disturbing’ move and demands for millions The Campbell County School district recently hatched a plan at its meeting to explore using eminent domain to take the private property for public use: a new middle school. But the developer had already secured a deal to bring a healthcare facility to the plot at 3725 Alexandria Pike, according to interviews The Enquirer conducted. And Cold Spring leaders wanted to see that health care business which – unlike a school – could be taxed. Cold Spring Mayor Angelo Penque called the school board’s move “disturbing.” A representative for the Cincinnatibased development company, Al. Neyer, told the school board in an email that he had “never encountered such an inappropriate and misguided use of eminent domain.” If the school board uses eminent domain, it should compensate the building’s owner up to $20 million for “compensatory damages,” according to an email developer Dan Ruh of Neyer sent the school board, which The Enquirer obtained. Campbell County Superintendent David Rust told The Enquirer the land is

the district’s best shot at creating a new school using the least amount of taxpayer dollars.

Healthcare facility vs. a new school The battle began when the Disabled American Veterans nonprofi t made plans to vacate the 30-acre site in the city of Cold Spring for a new, smaller site in the city of Erlanger. The school started researching if it could use the land in October, Rust said, before the nonprofi t offi cially announced its move earlier this month. It will complete the move by September 2021, Penque said. The nonprofi t hired Al. Neyer to fi nd a new use for the land, according to a press release from the nonprofi t. The developers secured a deal with a healthcare provider, Penque said. It’s unclear who the healthcare provider is because Penque declined to tell The Enquirer and the developer did not answer that question. And, the developer did not name the company in the email The Enquirer obtained. St. Elizabeth Healthcare, the region’s largest provider, told The Enquirer in a statement that it does not have “defi n-

itive plans to be part of any development on the site,” but added it is “always open to opportunities,” to expand healthcare in Northern Kentucky. As the healthcare deal came together, the school district put in two bids for the land in October, Rust told The Enquirer. He said he couldn’t share what the school off ered because it signed a confi dentiality agreement. The developer rejected both bids and didn’t give the school a counteroff er, Rust said. “We should be able to match or exceed that off er,” Rust said in an emailed statement to The Enquirer. The developer told The Enquirer in an emailed statement that it was focused on the “long term value” for stakeholders. The school board is intrigued by the nonprofi t building because of its location and potential cost-saving opportunities. The school board can save taxpayer dollars, Rust said, by renovating the building instead of building a new school from scratch. The school would serve 650 middle school students with a football fi eld and a possible satellite bus lot. The district has one middle school

with more than 1200 students, Rust said. That’s larger than the average middle school size in Kentucky, according to an analysis of Kentucky department of education school enrollment fi gures for the 2019-20 school year. That bus lot would save fuel and driver hours to get students to school in the northern part of the county, Rust said. A decade ago, the school looked at a large property in northern Campbell County for the new school. It didn’t work out, Rust said because the developer wanted too much money and there wasn’t a building on the site. Penque said there are other sites available. The developer off ered to help the school fi nd “alternative locations” for the school as well, according to an email The Enquirer obtained. Most recently, in January, Penque and Rust discussed using a diff erent property in Cold Spring. But it would have required the district to build a new school. Rust added that he knows how serious it is to consider eminent domain. School districts in the U.S. have invoked eminent domain in the past. This summer, a school in Minnesota sought to use it to seize a charter school’s property. Before the school board decides to move forward or not, Rust said they wanted “to do a little homework fi rst.” They want to get an appraisal for the land by February to fi nd the “reasonable” price for it and then decide if they want to use eminent domain. Penque and the developer have a lot of concerns with the school plan. They said safety issues could be created from increased traffi c and a 24-inch gas main that runs through the middle of the site. Rust doesn’t think traffi c will be an issue. As for the pipeline, Rust said: “It’s a concern for everyone, it’s there.” “The community defi nitely needs to hear about this fact and fully understand the risk before the School Board misuses its extraordinary eminent domain power – a power that should be reserved for the maximum benefi t of the entire community,” developer Ruh said to the school board in an email.

Christmas gift idea: Homemade peppermint bark Williams-Sonoma peppermint bark clone Don’t use “chocolate flavored” bar or chips. Use either all bar chocolate, or chips/morsels to make sure layers bond. One more thing: a little less, or more of any ingredient is OK. Ingredients 12 oz. semisweet or bittersweet chocolate Terry uses 43% cacao (Williams-Sonoma uses 61%) 18 oz. white chocolate – ﬁ rst ingredient should be sugar, second cocoa butter ⁄ 2 teaspoon real peppermint extract or couple drops food-grade peppermint oil

⁄ 2 cup or so crushed peppermint

9x13 pan, lined with foil and sprayed Instructions 1. Preheat oven to 250. 2. Pour dark chocolate in pan and melt in oven 2-5 minutes only. The goal is to have a little chocolate still unmelted which prevents overcooking/seizing. Spread to smooth.

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

I’ve often said the reason I continue to write this column every week is because of you, my readers. We have a real connection. Some examples: the other day at the recycling center, Dana, in customer service, mentioned how she enjoys this column. Truth be told, I was surprised she recognized me behind the mask!

Ditto with Beverly G., an Eastgate reader, who rang my purchases up at Macy’s. Beverly showed me a photo of the cinnamon bread recipe I had published and which she made. “It turned out so nice,” she said. Indeed it did. See her photo on my abouteating.com site. Hyde Park reader Terry Robinson makes my peppermint bark for gifts. Through the years, I’ve shared several versions. Today it will be Terry’s favorite. My preference is high-quality bar chocolate. Terry uses high-quality chocolate chips/morsels and has great results. Yes, the bark recipe is very detailed – that’s because melting chocolate is a technique. And if you’re serving a spiral or honey baked ham for the holiday, I’ve got you covered with tips for reheating.

To keep it nice and juicy, wrap tightly in double layer of foil. Pour a bit of water around it in pan.

4. Meanwhile melt white chocolate in double boiler, or very low heat in nonstick pan or in microwave. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, then put back in until most, but not all, chocolate has melted. Start checking after 30 seconds or so. Stir to smooth. Careful, white chocolate burns easily. 5. Add extract or oil. 6. Pour white chocolate over dark chocolate layer and smooth. 7. Sprinkle peppermint and tap with spatula to adhere.

Honey baked/spiral ham warming tips Ham is already cooked, you’re just reheating it. And not at a high temperature or for very long or you’ll wind up with dry, overcooked ham.

3. Refrigerate 20 minutes or until chocolate loses sheen and is ﬁ rm (don’t refrigerate longer than necessary; it may stay too cold/hard, causing separation of layers when you cut it).

Heat at 275 about 10 minutes per pound. Heat only until warm, about 140 degrees. If separate glaze is included, glaze about 20 minutes prior to when ham is done. Separate slices a bit so glaze goes down between slices. Put foil back on ham to ﬁ nish heating.

8. Let sit on counter until hard. 9. Cut with sharp knife. If layers do separate a bit, “glue” with smear of melted chocolate. Store covered in refrigerator. Tip: Want more peppermint bark recipes? Check out my site.

SPORTS Blocked PAT wins state title for Beechwood James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

LEXINGTON – Cameron Hergott is the senior headline maker for the Beechwood football team. It took a bevy of less-heralded players, however, to get the Tigers past Lexington Christian Academy in a dramatic bout of small-school heavyweights Friday afternoon at the University of Kentucky’s Kroger Field. Junior Brady Moore rushed through the line to block an extra point, giving Beechwood a 24-23 win in overtime in the KHSAA Class 2A championship game in the 2020 UK Orthopaedic Surgery & Sports Medicine State Football Finals. “When we saw it get defl ected, it was just madness,” said Beechwood senior lineman Artie Steinmetz. “It still feels so surreal. I’m speechless. This season meant so much to me and my family. To know this is happening right now is mind-blowing.” Beechwood (10-2) won its 15th alltime championship, fi rst-ever in 2A, and denied LCA (10-2) its second. “We have a lot of kids from great families in affl uent situations and for me, it’s all about putting them in adverse conditions,” Beechwood head coach Noel Rash said. “They responded to it for four years and that’s what made this happen today. It was all about will at the end of this thing.” The teams went to overtime tied at 17 after senior Colin Graman’s 35-yard fi eld goal for Beechwood with 2:09 to go. OT rules in Kentucky mandate alternating possessions starting at fi rst-andgoal from the 10-yard line.

Sophomore Mitchell Berger made a clutch 15yard catch on the sideline on fourth down to extend the drive from there. After a sack on Hergott, Graman kicked a 35-yard fi eld goal to tie the game at 17 with 2:09 to play. LCA drove 46 yards to the Beechwood 27 and gave Dobbs a chance to win it at the gun with a 44-yard fi eld goal. Dobbs had plenty of leg, but the fi eld goal hit the left upright and then the crossbar before falling backward for a missed attempt. Beechwood took the 14-3 lead at the half, forcing three turnovers along the way. Beechwood started out like gangbusters, scoring in the fi rst minute of the play. After a short run to start the drive by Berger, Hergott found Cole Stammer wide open behind the defense for a 45yard gain. Stammer fumbled as he was being tackled, but junior Liam McCormack was fi rst to the loose ball, recovering at the LCA 25. On the next play, Hergott ran up the left sideline for the fi rst touchdown of the game. LCA started well on its fi rst drive, as Nieves completed three passes for 52 yards, driving the Eagles to the Beechwood 23. However, a botched snap on the next play resulted in a fumble recovery for Berger. Hergott then took the Tigers down to the LCA 22. On fourth-and-10, Hergott threw an interception to Chance McGaughey in the middle of the fi eld. McGaughey returned it to the LCA 28 and was brought down from behind by a diving shoestring tackle from Moore. If Moore hadn’t made that play, McGaughey would have made it past midfi eld and potentially could have gone all the way See BEECHWOOD, Page 2B

Simendinger resigns from Kentucky Speedway next

Jason Hoffman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Mark Simendinger, the longtime general manager of Kentucky Speedway is out after leading operations at the track for more than 20 years. Simendinger, who took over track operations before the track’s opening season in 2000, had previously been the general manager of Turfway Park. Kentucky Speedway lost its spot on the NASCAR schedule when its race weekend was moved to Atlanta Motor Speedway, which is in the midst of redevelopment by Speedway Motorsports. Speedway Motorsports bought Kentucky Speedway in 2009 and owns eight race track properties including Kentucky and Atlanta. “Mark Simendinger has been synonymous with Kentucky Speedway for two decades, and we are grateful for his dedicated service to Speedway Motorsports,” said Speedway Motorsports President and CEO Marcus Smith. “As the race track’s general manager, Mark connected with NASCAR fans, our business partners and community leaders

“I think it’s time. I never thought I’d be here 20 years and I think it’s time for a new challenge. I’m looking forward to what that might be – I don’t know speciﬁ cally yet what that’s going to be. I think the time’s right for me to take on another challenge and I’m looking forward to what that might be.”

How Kentucky Speedway came to be

er about his tenure at the Speedway, the evolution of motorsports over the past 20 years and what’s next.

“I started out – this story goes all the way back to the late 1990s – at Turfway Park and trying to ﬁ gure out what to do with Turfway in the times when it wasn’t running horse racing. That’s when Jerry Carroll, who was the owner of Turfway, through conversations he had with other folks (decided to get involved in car racing) because NASCAR was going through a huge growth spurt at that point in time. One of the recommendations to us was incorporating a car track there at Turfway Park and of

for a touchdown. On Beechwood’s next drive, the Tigers faced a second and 16 after a sack by LCA. Hergott got the yardage back with an 18-yard run up the middle. On fi rst and goal, Hergott found Tanner Jackson for a 10-yard touchdown, just his second catch of the year. Beechwood led 14-0 with 2:21 to go in the second quarter. On LCA’s next drive, Xavier Brown, LCA’s dynamic junior running back, started to get untracked, rushing three times for 26 yards. On fi rst and 10 from the LCA 48, Nieves threw a long pass as he was hit, and . Stammer intercepted it at the Beechwood 23. On LCA’s next drive, Nieves completed a 2-yard pass to the Eagles 40. On the next play, Brown rushed for a 32-yard gain to the Beechwood 28, but the play was called back by a blocking penalty. Berger claimed his second turnover of the game after that, intercepting Nieves at midfi eld and returning it to the LCA 42 with two minutes to go in the half. Eyeing a prime scoring opportunity, the Tigers went backward in a big way due to three major penalties. At one point, Beechwood had a second-and-45 from its own 23, and eventually punted.

LCA got momentum at the end of the half. Two more Beechwood penalties set up LCA in the red zone. The Tigers defended a pass in the endzone with 10 seconds left, and LCA got a 27-yard ﬁ eld goal from Dobbs with four seconds to go in the half. At the half, Hergott had 104 passing yards and 73 on the ground, completing 7-of-14 passes. “We came out strong and we went into halftime still conﬁ dent and feeling really good,” Hergott said. “But some-

times we come out at halftime and have al apse or two, and that happened in this game. Our guys, our commitment, sacrifi ce and brotherhood were what won the game. Brown started the second half with a 52-yard touchdown run, cutting Beechwood’s lead to 14-10 in the fi rst minute of play in the third quarter. He fi nished with 139 yards on 15 carries. Beechwood botched the kickoff return and started at its own 4. The Tigers advanced 19 yards to their own 23 and

vices, the development of the race cars with roll cages and other safety implements, to me has been nothing short of almost miraculous how they are able to maintain safety. So, that’s the No. 1 thing that comes to my mind because honestly, it was always the No. 1 concern. I love car racing and horse racing, but I would always worry about safety.”

What stuck out the most over the past 20 years

course that was really not a feasible thing given the location of where Turfway is, but that got Jerry interested and so I literally got in my car and started driving up and down the interstate looking for sites. That’s how far back this whole thing goes. So, in the late 1990s I’m driving around looking for sites – it wasn’t easy. We fi nally settled on this one here in Gallatin County. The initial thought was I was just going to be here while we developed it and to oversee the development. We had fi ve partners, so I was just the owner’s representative on everything. The construction got fi nished and then there was always more to do and reasons to stick around because

“Well, No. 1, I will say as somebody who’s run tracks in horse and car racing without a doubt, especially running a horse track in the wintertime, safety is the No. 1 thing you think about from the time you wake up until the race or lap is run. You’re just praying that everyone stays safe. ... . I have been amazed because when we got involved in this, it was shortly after that Dale Earnhardt died at Daytona.

He ended with nearly 2,500 yards passing and 1,100 yards rushing. The Mr. Football contender ended his prep career on the best possible note. “You have to understand what he does when you’re not there, how he carries himself,” Rash said. “In practice, we run our off ense from the 40-yard line and every time we call a run play with him, he goes to the endzone. There are no prima donnas in our program. He has meant everything because of his work ethic on and off the fi eld, and his competitive nature. He is constantly getting after guys and to pick them back up and get them to go, and that is special.” Beechwood 7 7 0 3 7-24 Lexington Christian 0 3 14 0 6-23 B – Hergott 25-yard run (Graman kick) B – T.

the type of thing that helped NASCAR become as popular as it is. To be able to deliver that to the home crowd was very satisfying to me.”

A fi nal message for fans “I want to say thank you for making all of this possible. It never got old to me when I would come down here to work that we were putting on races of national signifi cance for the benefi t of this region and the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, and even West Virginia and places beyond. For us to be able to do that for this area was a real thrill and we couldn’t have done it without the fans. That’s why I’m optimistic that one day it’s going to return because I believe so strongly in the market. Thanks to them, we were able to accomplish a dream.”

Pastors of Florence Christian Church receive grant money to fund a sabbatical year Florence Christian Church has received two grants totaling $65,000 to enable its ministers, Rev. Dr. Susan Ward Diamond and Rev. Diana Hodges-Batzka, to fund sabbatical periods for both ministers in 2021. Rev. Diamond will participate in the 2021 Pastoral Study Program and Rev. Hodges-Batzka will participate in the 2020 National Clergy Renewal Program. Rev. Diamond’s grant for The Pastoral Study Program is from The Louisville Institute. It off ers pastoral leaders the gift of time and the resources to investigate issues related to the Christian life of faith, North American religious practices and institutions, and/or major challenges facing contemporary society. Diamond will examine how specifi c events leading to “The Great Disruption of 2020” have created a tipping point in American society and its structures, including religious institutions. How will the church address the grief, trauma and economic collateral damage left by the tidal wave of COVID-19? How will the church address its failures to do what is right in the face of its own systemic racism and institutional power dynamics? What will free the church to once again embrace and proclaim Jesus’ message of Life “on earth as it is in heaven?” Florence Christian is one of 140 congregations across the United States selected to participate in the National Clergy Renewal Program competitive grant program that Rev. Hodges-Batzka received. It is funded by Lilly Endowment Inc. and administered by Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis. Established by the Endowment in 2000, the program’s grant allows Florence Christian to support Hodges-Batzka with the gift of extended time away from her ministerial duties and responsibilities. After serving for 15 years in ministry, during her fi rst sabbatical Rev. Hodges-Batzka’s renewal leave will be around the theme “Training for the Next-Stage through Cycling.” She will center on training for a multi-day cycling tour to prepare her physically, relationally, and spiritually for her next stage in ministry as she concludes her Doctorate of Ministry degree. Sabbatical seasons are provided by congregations

to their ministers to use their time away from the demands of daily ministry and engage in refl ection and renewal. The approach respects the “Sabbath time” concept, off ering ministers a carefully considered respite that may include travel, study, rest, prayer and immersive arts and cultural experiences. Congregational needs during the minister’s renewal experience also are considered. The grant awards received will be used to support interim pastoral leadership during the pastor’s retreat, as well as renewal activities within the congregation. This time of pandemic provides an opportunity to refl ect on how Florence Christian lives into its mission of abundant love, grace and acceptance. During the sabbatical season, the church will spend time in intentional rest and renewal using the theme “Replenish!” A Sabbatical Team comprised of existing staff , interim staff and a consulting coach will guide the congregation to a place of readiness to embrace how the pandemic has made the church diff erent and what the church needs to do to in the future. “Pastors play an important role in nourishing the spiritual lives of individuals and in guiding the work of the Christian congregations they serve,” said Christopher L. Coble, Lilly Endowment’s vice president for religion. “Through these grants, we seek to honor pastors for their extraordinary service and enable them to engage in a brief period of rest and renewal. We have learned that such experiences invigorate the leadership of pastors and bring new vitality to their congregations as well.” The Rev. Dr. Robert Saler, research fellow and director of the Lilly Endowment Clergy Renewal Programs, noted that the National Clergy Renewal Program integrates key attributes of healthy congregations, including a mutual respect for the renewal needs of both ministers and the congregations they serve. “[Sabbatical] provides an opportunity for congregations to express appreciation for their ministers’ service and leadership,” Saler said. “At a time when leaders are often praised for their pace of innovation and productivity, the National Clergy Renewal Program pays homage to the timeless wisdom embedded in the practice of refl ection and renewal.” Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis directs the Lilly Endowment Clergy Renewal Program for Indiana Congregations and a second program for congregations across the United States through its Center for Pastoral Excellence.

NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE

ANSWERS ON PAGE 4B

No. 1220 CINÉMA VÉRITÉ

BY DAN MARGOLIS / EDITED BY WILL SHORTZ Dan Margolis, of Westfield, N.J., is a semiretired software applications trainer. In his spare time, he referees high school basketball games and plays keyboard in a ‘‘dad-rock band,’’ Landing Party — so named because all the members are ‘‘Star Trek’’ fans. Dan has been solving puzzles since he was a teenager. The first ones he constructed were on graph paper back in the day. This is his fourth crossword for The Times and his first Sunday. — W.S.
