2 killings, a midnight confession and no justice due to COVID-19 Trial for suspect won’t happen because of his death, and now victims’ families struggle to ﬁ nd peace

It has been over four years since Robert Jones and his girlfriend Crystal Warner were fatally shot and their bodies dumped miles apart in rural Kentucky. Craig Pennington, who rented from Jones, was arrested and charged with the murders of the Florence couple soon after, but there has not been a trial. And there won’t be one. Pennington died Dec. 28 after contracting COVID-19 awaiting trial in jail on a $2 million bond. He was 56. “Even though Pennington is dead, I feel like he got away with murder,” Jones’ sister told The Enquirer. “No more driving hours every other month to see that monster and be let down again. It’s disheartening knowing our justice system couldn’t get any justice for Bob and Crystal.” Jones’ sister, Becky Isom, recalled the emotionally grueling search after the killings. She said her brother’s three sons, all under 13 at the time, helped. “Can you imagine searching for your dad at that age? Being told to look for vultures in the sky?” Isom asked. She said Jones was an excellent father and friend. “If life itself had a No. 1 team spirit fan it would have been him,” she said. “He would have motivational quotes written down everywhere. His story was not fi nished. Pennington stole that chance from him – stole a dad from three precious boys and why?” Pennington maintained until his death that he did not kill Jones and Warner, his attorney Thomas Griffi ths told The Enquirer. “Craig was involved in the cover-up of the crime and hiding the bodies. For that, he would have been judged and sentenced by a jury,” Griffi ths said. “We believe that had the evidence been placed before a jury, they would have acquitted Craig on the charges of murder.”

A long search The last time their family and friends saw Jones and Wagner alive was before the couple made a trip to Washington County to speak to Pennington about late rent payments. Pennington was arrested before the bodies were found. He sat in jail with the authorities while the victims’ families searched. “I’ll never forget what we went through for months,” Isom said. “While

the man who knew where they were was getting fed three meals a day and (had) a bed to sleep on.” Wagner’s Volkswagen Passat was located within days, but it took the Kentucky State Police nearly ﬁ ve months to ﬁ nd the two separate sites where the bodies were dumped. Jones was found in Clark County in August. Warner’s body wasn’t found until late November in Bath County, about 100 miles away from where prosecutors say she was shot.

A witness comes forward The case against Pennington may have hinged on circumstantial evidence – he had contact with the couple before they were killed and owed them money – or possibly physical evidence like DNA or ﬁ ngerprints, though Pennington’s attorney said he wasn’t aware of any. But court documents state it was a 19-year-old, someone Pennington may have considered a step-son, who revealed the most about what happened that night. Pennington lived on Texas Road with his longtime girlfriend Teri Gray, her children and a few other people. The

cabin was rented from Jones. Investigators said Jones and Pennington both had reasons to be angry at each other. Pennington was three months behind on rent, which prompted Jones’ visit. But Jones was also behind on mortgage payments, so Pennington was upset that a foreclosure might force him oﬀ the property. The night of July 3, 2016, Pennington and Gray’s 19-year-old son had just returned from buying pizza when they encountered Jones and Warner at the house, court documents state. The teen told police that Pennington sent him inside just as an argument broke out, but once inside, his mom sent him back out to make sure Pennington didn’t lose his temper. But it was too late. The teen said he saw Pennington shoot Bobby and then ﬁ re several rounds into the parked Passat where Warner was sitting. Afterward, Pennington spotted the teen. “At that point, Pennington realized that (the teen) was outside and had seen the killings. Pennington yelled, according to court documents, ‘I thought I told you to get in the (expletive) house and not come out! Don’t say (expletive)!’”

‘You’re going to do what I say, right?’ But the night was just beginning. The teen said Pennington turned the gun on him, pointing it at his head. Pennington had a mess to clean up and said he needed help. He threatened the boy and said he would kill his mother and other relatives, the teen reported. “You’re going to do what I say, right?” Pennington allegedly asked. Under duress, the teen agreed, according to the documents. Leaving their phones behind, the teen said he drove an SUV behind Pen-

Rumors that the Florence Mall will close this spring have circulated on Facebook, prompting shares from Northern Kentucky residents lamenting the loss. But offi cials say the mall isn't going anywhere. "Florence Mall can confi rm we are not closing. We are open for all your shopping and dining needs. Hope to see you soon and remember to Shop Local," Mall offi cials said in a Facebook post on Jan. 25. According to the mall's website, 91 stores, restaurants and boutiques are still operating in the mall. The Florence Mall lost Sears, an anchor store, in 2018. J.C Penney, which fi led for bankruptcy protection in May, is one of the most at-risk retailers in 2021, according to USA Today. Macy's is also an at-risk retailer. The chain recently announced more closures, but the Florence location remains unscathed despite the TriCounty location closing. Other mall stores like Victoria's Secret and Express also made USA TODAY's list. Earlier this year, USA TODAY took a look at what it will take for malls to survive after the coronavirus pandemic after years of steady decline. "In 2021, the good malls will continue to do well,'' said Neil Saunders, managing director of the retail consultancy GlobalData. "It’s the weaker ones that will suff er...The future of the mall isn’t doomed or completely redundant. It’s just that 2021 will be a year of reckoning for underperforming properties." For years, a shift toward e-commerce has closed retailers, leading to more empty spaces in malls. According to a recent CoStar report, more than 40 major retailers have declared bankruptcy and more than 11,000 stores were announced for closure in 2020, which beats past store closings records. More store closures are on the horizon, with 1,444 already expected in 2021 as compared to 1,625 openings, according to Coresight Research. And mall occupancy rates hit 94.4% during the second quarter of 2020, their lowest level in at least ten years, according to CoStar Group, which tracks real estate. Ultimately, 1 in 4 malls and as many as 1 in 2 could eventually go out of business, according to projections by Coresight analysts and executives. USA TODAY contributed to this article.

nington, who drove the Volkswagen Passat Jones and Warner had arrived in – Jones’ body in the backseat, Warner’s in the trunk. At the local Walmart, Pennington ordered the teen to buy four gallons of bleach and a spray bottle, then told him to sit in a McDonald’s parking lot while Pennington drove oﬀ with the Volkswagen. An hour later, Pennington returned and told the teen to buy him some food. They then drove to an exit oﬀ Interstate 75 near Georgetown where Pennington sprayed down the Volkswagen with bleach. “[W]e’re going to make it look like a (expletive deleted) robbery, do you understand!” Pennington said, according to the documents. Pennington took $60 in cash from Jones along with his wallet and keys, which the teen was later made to throw away on the side of the road.

The midnight confession Police had been searching for Jones and Warner for nearly a week. It was close to midnight on July 7 when the teen showed up at the police station. He brought his sister and two other people who lived with him. He had already spoken with oﬃ cers

when they came to the house searching for the Florence couple, investigators said. Both the teen and Pennington told the same story: The couple came to the house and then left. That’s it. But the teen wanted to set the record straight, according to court documents. He told them everything. His mother and his younger brother left on a trip to Washington state, so he felt they were safe from Pennington. Pennington was arrested the following day. He would never walk free again. Three years later, another of Gray’s sons would give an interview to police recounting what he saw that night. He was 13 at the time of the killings and said he watched the killings from the porch of the cabin after crawling out his bedroom window. He told police he was so scared, he just covered his eyes for minutes before going back inside. But the boys and other members of the household shared more information with the police as well. The boys said Pennington had assaulted them and their mother. They described frequent arguments and ﬁ ts of rage. One of the boys described Pennington dragging him from underneath a bed and pinning him against the wall for not changing the channel on the TV. They also said Pennington had bragged about killing people before. It was something they didn’t take seriously until they witnessed the killings that night, they said.

Robert Jones with his three sons. Jones was killed in Washington County in 2016 after visiting a tenant at a home he rented. PROVIDED/BECKY ISOM

A slow crawl to trial Pennington was charged with two counts of murder, abuse of a corpse, menacing, terroristic threatening, kidnapping and wanton endangerment. Over the past four years, lawyers have obtained phone records from Pennington and the Gray family as well as Jones and Wagner. They got Pennington’s driving record for the trucking company that employed him, plus bank records, school records and more. They began preparing for a jury trial in the spring of 2019. The younger teen’s late interview with police likely contributed to delays. The defense also fi led motions stating the prosecution improperly conducted “discovery” in the case, the process of securing and disclosing evidence. According to court documents, subpoenas for members of the Gray family requesting they appear in court for the trial were quashed by a judge in Washington State after the family raised concerns about traveling during the COVID-19 pandemic. Griffi ths, Pennington’s attorney, said the Gray family’s resistance to sharing records and coming to court caused the delays. Isom said the criminal justice system failed to get justice for her brother despite having an eyewitness to his death. “I feel like we were led on by the people we are supposed to trust,” Isom said. “Then when they could have had the trial they would say they couldn’t inconvenience anyone because it was a holiday or close to a holiday. Yet they inconvenienced the victims’ families for four years... Month after month, they accommodated the monster.” Griffi ths said he and his client were looking forward to the trial so Penning-

ton could tell “the world what really happened. “The trial would have placed light on the claims the Gray family made against (Pennington),” he said. “A jury would have been able to weigh the tale by (the teen) that he was kidnapped and threatened.” Pennington admitted that he was involved in hiding the bodies, so presumably, if he did not kill Jones and Wagner, he knew who did. Griﬃ ths would not comment on this possibility citing attorney-client privilege. He explained that now, he no longer has the option to go back to Pennington and get permission to discuss the case in more detail. “Now none of this will come to light in a courtroom,” he said. “His untimely death from COVID closes this chapter and allows those involved to move on, but Craig’s family did not want his memory to be lost.” The commonwealth attorney prosecuting the case and the Kentucky State Police did not return calls requesting comment. The Gray family could not be reached. Isom and her family are left without many answers. Court documents say the defense argued evidence was improperly handled – something that continues to bother Isom. She also holds the Gray family at least partially responsible for what happened. “They knew what kind of person Pennington was,” she said. “I don’t trust them that they were not involved. They knew he shouldn’t have guns because he was a dangerous felon and none of them ever reported it.” “So many questions,” she said. “I hope Pennington didn’t get a funeral. I know he’s suﬀ ering where is now.”

‘Not all chops are the same’: Learn the basics with easy, versatile pork schnitzel Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

Have you ever stood in the pork chop section at the grocery and wondered what the diff erence was between the cuts? I’m here to tell you not all chops are the same. They can be really tender, quick cooking and mild in fl avor. Or they can be tougher yet more fl avorful and require longer cooking time. Here’s a quick primer on popular chops. Check out my site for photos. First, pork chops all come from the loin, which runs from the hip to the shoulder. That’s also the place where tenderloin is. Except for shoulder/ blade chops, I like to buy a thicker chop. Shoulder or blade chops These have dark colored meat, good amounts of fat and connective tissues and some bone. Blade chops have lots of fl avor but are tough. Cook slowly with moist heat, like a braise. Good for the slow cooker. Rib chops Sometimes called center cut rib, there’s a bone running along one side and some fat. The bone attached is actually a baby back rib. Tender and lean, rib chops are mild fl avored. Quick cooking is best. Loin chops Sometimes called center loin, top loin or loin chop. Some will have a T-shaped bone that has loin on one side and tenderloin on the other. Very lean with mild fl avor, loin chops cook at diff erent rates. Quick cooking is best. Sirloin chops Higher percentage of bone than other chops with really good fl avor but tough unless braised. Boneless chops Basically top loin or rib chops with bones removed. Lean with very little connective tissue or fat. No bones means mild fl avor, less than the others. Cook quick for best results. Brining Not really necessary but produces tender, fl avorful chops. A simple brine is 1/4 cup salt to 1 quart water. Put chops in brine and let sit 30 minutes or up to a couple of hours before cooking. Temperature No higher than 145. Pork might be a bit pink but that’s OK. Chops continue to raise in temperature a bit after cooking. Now that you know basics, how about a yummy pork schnitzel to make for supper?

Easy and versatile pork schnitzel. RITA HEIKENFELD/FOR THE ENQUIRER

Easy and versatile pork schnitzel

bit more salt and pepper

Schnitzel is German for cutlet.

Lemon wedges (optional but good)

I used boneless chops this time. Pork tenderloin is yummy too, cut into largish slices, a good half inch. Or even other chops if that’s all you have.

Instructions

See how versatile this recipe is?

Whisk eggs and cream in shallow dish. Place flour in shallow dish.

Ingredients 4 thick boneless pork chops, other chops or pork tenderloin (see tip above), seasoned both sides with salt and pepper

Place crumbs in shallow dish. Dredge pork in flour, shake off excess, then in egg mixture, and ﬁ nally in crumbs. Fry in pan, medium heat, with olive oil and butter - a couple or more tablespoons each.

Flour 2 eggs 2 cups breadcrumbs - I used Panko

When golden on one side, flip and cook on other until temperature reaches 140-145. Don’t overcook or meat will be dry and tough.

Couple shakes of poultry seasoning to taste or just a

Serve with lemon.

NKU police search for white supremacist graﬃ ti suspect Patriot Front sticker was placed on their vehicle while it was parked in a university lot Jan. 26, police say. 4The student stated “he was disturbed by what happened and wanted to help” by reporting it.

Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Feb. 1. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates. The suspect who placed white supremacist stickers around Northern Kentucky University’s campus last week was captured on 12 security cameras at around 1:30 a.m. Jan. 27, according to police documents. The cameras did not capture specifi c details about the individual, the report says, other than the suspect appears to be a white man wearing all black clothes, a white hat and a blue backpack. The suspect’s face was covered by a black bandana. NKU students woke up to fi nd the graffi ti splashed across campus Wednesday morning and reported multiple sightings of the label “Patriot Front” to campus authorities. Patriot Front is a white nationalist hate group active statewide in Kentucky and Ohio, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. The group broke off from Vanguard America in the aftermath of the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in August of 2017. White supremacist signs were also found on Xavier University’s campus over the weekend, according to university police. “(The Xavier University Police Department) has removed the material and is investigating the situation,” offi cials said. “There is no indication that anyone in our campus community is responsible for posting these signs.” Third-year NKU student Lindsey Dames, 20, says she saw the markings on “the rock,” an infamous boulder on campus which university organizations paint throughout the year to promote events or communicate other ideas to the NKU community. “I felt sick to my stomach all day thinking about it,” Dames told The Enquirer Jan. 27.

campus building entrances. The investigation is ongoing, police say. NKU police are asking anyone with information about the person found on campus security footage, or anyone who saw “anything unusual early Wednesday morning” between midnight and 2 a.m., to leave a tip online.

White supremacist markings were found Wednesday at Northern Kentucky University. PROVIDED/LINDSEY DAMES

Nick Sandmann ﬁ res attorney after Twitter and Telegram posts Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A Covington Catholic High School graduate who is suing multiple media outlets over coverage of a viral video of him has fi red high-profi le attorney Lin Wood. On Jan. 25, Nick Sandmann terminated Wood from his legal team. “I have ended my lawyer-client relationship with Mr. Wood and no longer wish to be represented by him in the above-captioned action,” Sandmann said in affi davits submitted in each of his six lawsuits still pending in federal court in Covington. The 18-year-old is pursuing multiple lawsuits against media outlets over reporting about the video from a 2019 incident in Washington, D.C. The video clip showed Sandmann and Nathan Phillips, a Native American who was demonstrating that day, facing each other in a crowd on the National Mall. Sandmann and his then-classmates from the Roman Catholic high school in Park Hills were in Washington for the March for Life. Sandmann’s attorney, Todd McMurtry, declined to comment on Sandmann’s decision to terminate Wood. In an email, Wood told The Enquirer: “I love Nicholas Sandmann, and I wish him the very best going forward.” The split comes several weeks after Sandmann, in social media posts, challenged Wood’s statements about nowformer Vice President Mike Pence. On Jan. 1, Wood posted on Twitter about Pence being arrested and jailed on charges of treason. Wood said, in part: “He will face execution by fi ring squad. He is a coward & will sing like a bird & confess ALL.” The same day, Sandmann mentioned Wood’s tweet and commented, “I’m sorry but what the hell.” Sandmann later tweeted: “Truthfully, this is a dumb tweet.” Twitter eventually suspended Wood’s account. Then in a Twitter post Jan. 24, Sandmann highlighted a lengthy statement Wood made on the app Telegram. Wood talked about the backlash he’d faced for his comments about Pence. Wood also seemed to predict his fi ring: “No client had abandoned me but I expect Nicholas Sandmann may do so.” Wood said Sandmann had worked on

U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell’s re-election campaign and could “be feeling the pressure from members of ” the campaign. Then in the same post, Wood appeared to refer to a conspiracy theory, saying he would continue to fi ght “for the hundreds of thousands of little children who are being abused, molested and sacrifi ced for the demonic pleasures of very evil people in the world – including leaders in our government.” Wood did not respond to questions about that statement. In the email, he told The Enquirer he is not a supporter of QAnon, the baseless conspiracy theory involving a satanic child sex traffi cking ring run by political leaders and others. Wood also said his comments about Pence were “rhetorical hyperbole” protected by the First Amendment. The pending lawsuits are against NBC, ABC News, CBS News, the New York Times, Rolling Stone and Gannett. The Enquirer is owned by Gannett. The Washington Post and CNN settled with Sandmann last year. Wood, who is based in Atlanta, was involved in eff orts around the country on behalf of former President Donald Trump to challenge the election results. A Delaware judge this month said Wood could not appear in his court, citing Wood’s eff orts to overturn the presidential election. According to the Delaware News Journal, the judge said Wood “exhibited a toxic stew of mendacity, prevarication and surprising incompetence.” Wood’s behavior was questioned In a lawsuit fi led last year by three former law partners who said Wood had demonstrated “erratic” behavior and had claimed he was being directed by “God Almighty.” Beginning in late 2019 and into early 2020, the lawsuit says, “incoherent” phone calls, text messages and emails in the middle of the night from Wood “were the norm.” Most of the communications, according to the lawsuit, professed that “God or the Almighty was commanding his actions.” Wood has previously called the lawsuit a “shakedown” to get him to pay fees.

Roebling Bridge to close for nine months Hannah K. Sparling Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge between Downtown and Covington will be closed for more than nine months for a restoration project. The historic bridge over the Ohio River, which sees about 9,000 vehicles a day, was reduced to a single lane of traﬃ c on Feb. 1. Then, on Feb. 15, the bridge will be completely closed to vehicles. The $4.7 million project includes masonry work and repairing and replacing sections of the bridge's sandstone towers. In 2019, the bridge was closed for four months after chunks of sandstone fell from one of the towers. The bridge is expected to reopen to traﬃ c by the end of November, with the overall project slated for completion by Dec. 31, according to a news release from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.

will remain open during the closure. The Roebling is one of Cincinnati's most beautiful and iconic bridges, but it is also prone to closures. Prior to the 2019 closure, the bridge was closed in parts of 2006 and 2007 for some structural and electrical repairs, according to records from the transportation cabinet. In 2009 and 2010, it was closed for a painting project. In 2018, it was closed for a little longer than a month after a driver ran into one of the columns. Recently, after a crash and fi re on the nearby Interstate 71/75 Brent Spence Bridge, the Roebling was briefl y closed to prevent heavy trucks from improperly using the Roebling as a detour. During the 2019 closure, businesses owners told The Enquirer the lack of access was threatening their livelihoods.

SPORTS Who has dominated NKY, Indiana courts so far? Alex Harrison Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included reﬂ ects this article’s original publication date – Jan. 31 (updated Feb. 1). Basketball got a late start in Northern Kentucky, but athletes did not delay in getting oﬀ some top notch single-game performances. Here, in no particular order, are athletes who have put together some of the best single-game performances by boys and girls hoopers from Northern Kentucky and Indiana high schools so far this season.

Scotty Draud, Beechwood Scotty Draud knows buckets. Among his many times leading Beechwood in scoring this season, Draud’s top performance was in a 76-51 win over Cincinnati Dohn Community on Jan. 9. Draud was 11-for-16 from the ﬁ eld when he dropped 30 points and while he didn’t account for a double-double like he has before this season, Draud’s seven rebounds were still the second-most on the team that night.

Josie Trabel, East Central The sophomore Trabel has scored over 20 points a handful of times this season, but her 20-point and 10-rebound double-double was one of the most solid performances. East Central cruised to a 70-27 win against Connersville and in addition to her 20-10 night, Trabel also had three assists, three steals and a pair of blocks.

Logan Rohrbacher, East Central Rohrbacher opened the season with three-straight 30-point performances. In the season opener against historic Milan, Rohrbacher dropped 30 points while also grabbing 13 rebounds, seven assists and three steals.

Marie Kiefer, Bishop Brossart Kiefer didn’t miss inside the arc and dropped 28 points in the 55-19 defeat of McNicholas on Jan. 20. Kiefer’s 28 points easily outscored her opponent alone, but Kiefer also grabbed 14 rebounds, nearly grabbing as many boards as McNicholas had points.

Stephen Verst, Bishop Brossart In the ﬁ rst match of the 10th Region All “A” Classic, Bishop Brossart beat Bracken County 81-64 on the strength of

Campbell County junior Garrett Beiting and Brossart junior Stephen Verst as Bishop Brossart defeated Campbell County 67-58 in boys basketball in the Alexandria crosstown showdown Friday, Jan. 3, 2020 at Campbell County Middle School. JAMES WEBER/THE ENQUIRER

30 points and seven boards from Stephen Verst. Verst was nearly perfect shooting the ball, going 8-for-10 from the ﬁ eld with a 2-for-3 mark on three-point shots. Verst also did damage on free throws, making 12 of his 15 attempts.

Lauren Hawthorne, Conner Conner opened its season with a 7246 win against Holmes and Lauren Hawthorne had a gem of a game. Hawthorne was one of two Conner players to score 21 points, but Hawthorne also snagged 17 rebounds, 11 more boards than the next closest teammate.

Eric Davie, Campbell County Davie helped Campbell County respond to its ﬁ rst loss by taking a close game over Harrison County on Jan. 15, 70-67. Davie scored 18 points, which was second on the team behind Dane Hegyi’s 19. Davie, though, grabbed 14 rebounds, which was nine more than his next closest teammate. Ten of Davie’s 18 points were from his

10-for-10 night on the free-throw line, helping to seal the three-point victory.

Rory O’Hara, Highlands As Highlands reached the high point of its year so far, it beat Campbell County 43-34 for its ﬁ fth-straight victory. Rory O’Hara also reached a high point that night when she went 11-for-12 from the free-throw line on the way to 23 total points while also getting 12 rebounds to complete a double-double night.

Mitchell Rylee, Covington Catholic In the 9th Region meeting with Highlands on Jan. 23, Rylee was top Colonel in both scoring and rebounding. The junior was 11-for-13 from the ﬁ eld (also 1for-1 from the line) to score 23 points plus 14 boards to complete the doubledouble with room to spare.

Sam Vinson, Highlands When Highlands ﬁ nally pulled away from Dixie Heights on Jan. 14 in the 8881 double-overtime win, Sam Vinson

walked out as the top Bluebird. Vinson had a double-double with 10 rebounds and a big-time 34 points. Vinson shot 52% from the ﬁ eld on the way to 34 points, outscoring the next closest athlete by 12 points. Highlands grabbed just 25 rebounds in the game, 10 of which were by Vinson.

Nejai Lewis, Holmes Nejai Lewis saw double on her double-double night in Holmes’ 79-53 win against St. Patrick on Jan. 22. Lewis helped the Lady Bulldogs to the win by scoring 18 points and grabbing 18 rebounds.

Jacob Meyer, Holy Cross Holy Cross just edged Louisville Christian Academy 86-85 on Jan. 8. Jacob Meyer was an oﬀ ensive wizard for the Indians and the proof lied in his 40 points. Meyer’s 40 points were by way of 10 free throws and a 14-for-25 (56%) shooting night. Meyer’s nine rebounds See BASKETBALL, Page 2B

Collinsworth's 62nd birthday, in fact, was the 20th anniversary of Swann's election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Earlier in January on Twitter, Collinsworth called it "another humbling

moment" when none of the contestants could come up with the correct answer to a clue about former Cincinnati Reds play-by-play broadcaster Al Michaels' co-host on NBC's Sunday Night Football. Collinsworth, who played for the Bengals from 1981 to 1988, joined Michaels on Sunday Night Football in 2009.

Girl Scouts do more than sell cookies. Annabelle, along with a few members of Troop 5137, had a successful Service Unit community service challenge this month. They were pleased with the impact they were able to make in a short 2 weeks for the Boone County Animal Shelter. First they called the shelter to get ideas on what they need most. Then the girls fi lmed Annabelle in a short video explaining their cause and asking for donations for social media. Each day they checked the bin for drop off s or went around our neighborhood to collect. They managed to fi ll an entire SUV with blankets, towels, dog and cat food/treats, cat litter, leashes, collars, crates, and even medical supplies like alcohol and peroxide.

A new fund launched in partnership between Horizon Community Funds and Freestore Foodbank will give supporters a new vehicle for giving to the nonprofi t in Northern Kentucky. “Freestore Foodbank is a tremendous partner to community members and other agencies across the region,” said Horizon Community Funds President Nancy Grayson. “We are excited to present this fund to Northern Kentucky with them, and we encourage to support this longstanding nonprofi t leader in their work to combat hunger and poverty in our Grayson community.” Freestore Foodbank is one of the 200 food bank members of Feeding America, the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization. Freestore Foodbank’s mission is to improve lives by eliminating hunger in partnership with our community, and to create a hungerfree, healthy, and thriving community. Last year, the Freestore Foodbank pro- Reiber vided over 37.7 million meals with 540 community partner agencies, including food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, community centers, program sites, senior centers and daycare facilities. “We are proud to partner with the Horizon Community Funds to support work in Northern Kentucky,” said Freestore Foodbank President & CEO Kurt Reiber. “Our partnership will allow us to have deeper conversations and fi nd solutions to ending poverty and hunger in our community.” The longstanding nonprofi t also responds to everchanging community needs with additional supports such as workforce training, transportation assistance, vouchers for birth certifi cates and ID cards, and more. The Freestore Foodbank team also makes referrals to other social services agencies for community members dealing with homelessness, disabilities, mental illness, substance abuse and domestic violence. Fund partnerships with Horizon Community Funds provide a fl exible way for donors to support their preferred nonprofi t organization or charitable eff ort. Donors can make an endowed gift to support the mission of the nonprofi t organization for generations to come, or can opt to make a non-endowed gift which provides funding for needs as they arise in Northern Kentucky. For more information or to make a gift to the Freestore Foodbank Fund at Horizon Community Funds, visit www.horizonfunds.org or call 859-757-1552.
