A cemetery clue

Marietta Echlin, 67, holds a picture of her son, Evan Echlin, at her home Monday, April 19, 2021, in Erlanger, Ky. Marietta placed the image under a Mary statue at St. Henry in 2006 after he joined the Navy, it was recently rediscovered. PHOTOS BY ALBERT CESARE / THE ENQUIRER

In early March, staﬀ at St. Henry Catholic Church in Elsmere hoisted a statue of the Virgin Mary out of the place of worship to be cleaned and repaired. The ordinary routine would soon become the talk of this Northern Kentucky congregation. Mary’s departure revealed she had been concealing a picture of a Navy sailor under her base. No one knew who the sailor was, when it was placed there, or if he survived. “We don’t know if it was last year or years ago,” a church bulletin read. “Does anyone know who this is?” A parishioner, Kenny Bodner, then called his longtime friends Marietta, 67 and Tom Echlin, 66. “Marietta, you won’t believe what happened.”

Growing up The Echlins moved from Michigan to Kentucky when Marietta was six months pregnant in the early ‘80s. Marietta found their home on a hill in Erlanger that had the two-car garage on Tom’s house wish list, something that made it easier to restore vintage vehicles. There, they raised two kids: older sister Elissa and son Evan. That garage eventually housed Evan’s high school rock band which played early 2000s Green Day songs while Tom grilled in the backyard. It’s also where Tom restored Evan’s fi rst-ever car, a salvaged red Fox body Mustang, dating from the late ‘80s. A 16-year-old’s dream car. “What were we thinking?” Marietta joked. Growing up, Evan “had a math mind,” his mother said, adding he played the drums, joined the football team and swam in the neighborhood pool. When it was time for college, Marietta and Tom dropped off Evan – 17 at the time – at Morehead State University in Morehead, Kentucky. Evan, with the red Mustang along for the ride, would stumble a bit during those fi rst years of college. Two years in, a friend of Evan’s crashed the Mustang into a guard rail. Another time, a friend slammed a door on Evan’s fi ngers that prompted a trip to the hospital and a few stitches. “You know, honey, I can’t run down to Morehead to save you, and I think you need to come home,” Marietta recalled saying to Evan. He had struggled with direction at Morehead, Marietta said. He often changed majors and wasn’t sure what kind of career he wanted. So he moved back to Erlanger.

Tom and Marietta Echln, outside the Erlanger home where they raised their two children.

Do you guys remember how the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet was searching for family members of people buried near a soon-to-be-expanded road in Kenton County? The article intrigued a few readers. One reader even emailed me to tell me about a cemetery moved to make room for a new house in Kenton County . I really, really, really wanted to help solve the intersection cemetery mystery. Weeks went by and I didn’t hear from anyone who knew anything about it, including the transportation cabinet which launched the search. Then John Hoff man called. He grew up on the property where the graves are. “I mowed the area where the cemetery is that was encased in trees and some bushes, so it was very private,” Hoff man, 65, of Erlanger, told me. Hoff man’s parents doled out chores for Hoff man and his older brother, Greg. John Hoff man spent eight hours every week or so mowing the family’s three acres, including the cemetery space. I had so many questions for him. What did it look like? Were there any names or dates on the grave markers? Most of the markers were so worn no one could decipher them, he told me. There was one marker, though, that had a date on it from the 1700s. Hoff man thinks it could have been a birthday. There weren’t any easily identifi able names on the stones. Hoff man said his family thought the graves might have belonged to one of the fi rst families to settle in Northern Kentucky, the Bristows. That’s because Hoff man’s childhood home sits on the corner of Bristow Road and Mt. Zion Road. See NKY, Page 2A

Soon enough, though, Evan was making alternate plans. “We’re at the dinner table, and he said ‘I joined the Navy,’” Tom said. “We both fell oﬀ our chairs.”

Joining the Navy Since Evan already completed two years of college, a Navy recruiter told him he could be promoted quickly. So, at 20 years old, Evan enlisted. Marietta’s friends bombarded her with questions. “Aren’t you afraid? Aren’t you worried?” Of course she was. But Marietta relied on her faith for comfort. “You have to, at one point, put it in the hands of the Lord,” Marietta said. “You know, what’s meant to be is meant to be. It’s not for me to determine. I put it in the back of my mind, the danger of the job.” Still, she would have done anything to keep him safe. Evan left for basic training in Chicago. And one day, when Marietta was alone in the church, she tucked Evan’s picture under a statue of Mary. Then he was deployed on a carrier. See SAILOR, Page 2A

Parking ban on Dixie Highway-Pike Street A parking ban on Dixie Highway-Pike Street went into eff ect April 28, an eff ort by city of Covington offi cials to mitigate traffi c jams on city streets. Offi cials said they’re taking the step reluctantly due to traffi c caused by outof-town drivers seeking a way around the backed-up Brent Spence Bridge. “We absolutely would rather not take away any parking, or barricade off any streets. But we’re being forced to do so to prevent even bigger disruption caused by a project that is entirely beyond our control and not of our doing,"

City Manager David Johnston said in a release. He said they've already tried putting up barriers and signage designed to keep the drivers out of narrow neighborhood streets. Now, offi cials are temporarily prohibiting on-street parking in the curb lane of northbound Dixie Highway-Pike Street from the 1200 block at West 12th Street, north to Bullock Street. Parking in the curb lane was already banned from 6-9 a.m. on weekdays but many people were disregarding the rule and that ban didn’t address the massive traffi c during rush hour, Johnston said. Offi cials said the change will aff ect about 24 spots and notices have been

mailed or hand-delivered to property owners in that area explaining the temporary change. Maintaining two lanes of throughtraﬃ c instead of one lane should help prevent backlogs at the sharp curve near Be Concerned: The Peoples Pantry, where Western Avenue and Montague Road intersect with Pike Street, Johnston said. The parking ban on Dixie HighwayPike Street will last until Nov. 30, the anticipated completion date for the project. Johnston said the City will continue to consider other potential steps to react to the increased traﬃ c as they're trying to make the best of a bad situation.

The ﬁ nd

At the beginning of his career, Evan oversaw catching planes landing on the U.S.S. Eisenhower, a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. (It’s a tricky job: To land properly, a jet has to snag a hook in between its wheels that allow an attached steel cable wire to stop the plane.) Evan also calibrated equipment and conducted satellite imaging. The G.I. Bill allowed him to earn his Bachelor’s degree in Virginia and a graduate certificate online from Penn State University. When Marietta didn’t know what ocean he was on or what time zone Evan was in, she knew he could be in danger.

When her friend Kenny Bodner recently called about the picture, Marietta told him she forgot she ever put it there. She never told anyone. Not even Evan. Even when he was in harm’s way. The aching memories of wanting to keep Evan safe ﬂ ooded her mind as she dealt with the surprise of the picture’s discovery. When Marietta called Evan, now 35, to tell him about it, he felt loved. “She did something, like, so seemingly insigniﬁ cant but also very powerful,” Evan said. “It was inspiring to me and

very fl attering that she would do that for me.” He believes Mary protected him, he said, as the Navy took him to Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Dubai, Turkey and so many more places. Looking back, Evan sees the crushed fi nger and car incidents as the “triggers” that lead him to the military. “I didn’t kick the door and smash my fi nger and I didn’t wreck my car. But I certainly enabled those things, in a sense,” he said. He said joining the military “was the best decision,” he ever made. Now, he works with geographic information systems on a military base in Jacksonville, Florida. The software allows him to map roads and utility networks on the military base, even monitor sea turtle’s

A family history website, written by Neil Allen Bristow in the early 2000s, said by the 1850s Reuben and Statira Bristows were living on Banklick Creek west of Independence in Kenton County. They had a 160-acre farm, named Maple Grove, according to the blog. Banklick Creek is a 19-mile-long tributary of the Licking River, according to the Kentucky Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet. I punched in “Banklick Creek to 785 Bristow Road” in Google Maps to see if the creek and house were near each other. I traced the creek’s twists and turns into into a larger stream, which passes Banklick Church, then fl ows southwest of Independence. Right before it follows Banklick Road in Independence, part of the stream curves to the west and fl ows adjacent to the Bristow Road home. So, Hoff man could be onto something. Bristow last updated his blog in 2009. I sent him an email to the address listed on the blog and failed to fi nd a phone number for him on Lexus Nexus, a research tool. I don’t know where Bristow lives, or if he’s still alive. I hope to hear from him or his family.

Get paid to pickup trash I’ll admit, I need a ton of motivation to clean up. Lets just say my car’s passenger and back seats have a certain reputation among my friends and family. I recently got a press release about a trash collection incentive program in Kenton County. Kenton County Solid Waste Division has used grant money to pay nonproﬁ t organizations $100 per mile to pick up trash oﬀ of approved roadways within

Kenton County. Recently, the KY Bombers/Covington Athletics participated. “The experience of collecting items and forgotten pieces of everyday life was empowering,” club member Daria Kirtley wrote in the release. “It was empowering observing the various items spread across our beloved streets slowly disappear into our black bags of concealment and once again become the beautiful natural green landscape that our community values.” Nonprofi ts can join in until September 30. Funds are limited and spots are given to groups on a fi rst come, fi rst serve basis, according to the release. To apply to participate in the program, visit kentoncounty.org/566/Trash-for-Cash.

This is Alyssa Wray, our local ‘American Idol’ top 10 contestant case what I can do, because that’s how you win the audience over in each round. The second thing is I think about my audience. A lot of people don’t want to vote for a song that they don’t like. Even if you sounded good, they want to know the song. They want to know what you’re singing. I think about the demographic of the people watching, and I think about songs out of my catalog that I can sing that they’d enjoy, and I pick from that. Q: Doing a Disney song plays to your strength, doesn’t it, given your background in musical theater? A: That’s what everyone keeps saying, so I hope so. But I am adding some other parts. I have kind of a musical-theater part in it, and I have kind of a WhitneyMariah part in it, and I have kind of an acoustic-guitar section in it, so there’s diff erent styles within the song, so I’m really excited about getting to showcase diff erent sides. I didn’t want to go full-on musical theater, so people aren’t like, “that’s all she can do.” I wanted to show them multiple sides. Q: Jennifer Hudson recently sent you a DM. How did you handle that? Do you just send her a thank you and never message her again, or does she immediately become your best friend and you start DM’ing her all the time? A: She defi nitely didn’t become my best friend, but she did follow me on Instagram after that. I sent her a DM back telling her how much it meant to me. I like to think even though we didn’t keep messaging back, that’s kind of what this business is all about. It’s like connecting and networking and meeting people. So one day hopefully post-pandemic when we’re all working, I think that might play to my advantage. While we’re not besties, I think that’s a connection I’ve made in the industry. Q: Is it critical for you to win “American Idol” in order for you to reach your career goals? A: Not at all. I’m not ready to go home. I would love to win. It’s defi nitely a goal because I’m currently working on the show. But my goal from the beginning of this was not to win. Winning would not defi ne my success. I think I could go home now and make a pretty good career. I’m along for the ride now. Q: When this is over, are you going back to school at NKU or are you going to stay out in LA? A: I’m still a little confl icted. I have a lot of paths that are revealing themselves to me right now. But I love LA. I never thought I’d love LA as much as I do. I used to think I’d never come out to LA because I used to hate riding planes, but I love LA a lot, so that’s defi nitely on my radar.

Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included reﬂ ects this article’s original publication date – April 29. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates. Like a college basketball star good enough to play in the NBA, Alyssa Wray might be one-and-done in the best kind of way. The Northern Kentucky University freshman continues to advance through the rounds of “American Idol.” The 19-year-old enters Sunday’s episode as one of 10 remaining contestants with hopes of surviving to the end of the show. Whether she wins the whole thing or gets cut this weekend, Wray – a native of Perryville, Kentucky, two hours south of Cincinnati – is unsure of her next move. Wray and the other nine contestants will each be singing one song from the following list: "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes" (“Cinderella”); "Remember Me" (“Coco”); "Real Gone" (“Cars”); "When She Loved Me" (“Toy Story 2”); "Go the Distance" (“Hercules”); "Baby Mine" (“Dumbo”); "When You Wish Upon a Star" (“Pinocchio”); "Into the Unknown" (“Frozen II”); "You’ll Be In My Heart" (“Tarzan”); and "Circle of Life" (“The Lion King”). Which contestant will be singing which song has not been revealed. Viewer voting will decide the winners. The show airs 8 p.m. on ABC. Wray hopped on a phone call before her next “Idol” hurdle. Question: Why did you choose NKU to pursue a musical-theater degree? Answer: I completed this program the summer after my junior year called Governor's School for the Arts, and one of the scholarships that you could have when completing the program was basically full tuition at NKU, so that’s what introduced me to the school. I went and visited, and I really liked it. Q: What’s Perryville like? A: Super small. A little bit under 800 people in it. There’s a Dollar Store, two gas stations and a lot of churches. There’s an elementary school, too. Q: Were you introduced to music through the internet, since there wasn’t a thriving arts community there? A: Sort of. I really got into music through church. I started singing at church. But you’re right about how being in a small town there’s not a lot of arts and culture. I always struggled with ﬁ nding community theaters. There’s one in the county that I live in and there’s

one in the county over. But other than that I didn’t have opportunities that a lot of kids had. I had to do a lot of it at home and at school and at church. Q: Did your brief time at school, being away from home for the fi rst time and going to a bigger metropolitan area prepare you for going to Los Angeles? I imagine it might have been more diffi cult going straight from Perryville to LA without fi rst spending a little time here. A: It totally prepared me. When I came to the auditions in California back in November, I had my mom with me. I was so attached to her. I hadn’t been in school that long. After being at school until about the beginning of March, I don’t want to say I got used to being alone, because I hate being alone, but being alone as far as making decisions and buying groceries and doing all that, because I have to do all that here. Q: Do you choose a song because you like it or is it more important that the song suits your talents? A: I have two decisions that go into it. I always like the song. I’m pretty versatile because of musical theater, so I love all kinds of music. The two things that go into it are if I have a moment in there that I can show-

A view of construction work on the Brent Spence Bridge in Cincinnati on Monday, April. 26, 2021. ALBERT CESARE / THE ENQUIRER

Here’s why there’s a big tarp shrouding the Brent Spence Bridge Briana Rice Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A tarp on the Brent Spence Bridge has created a tunnel-like experience for drivers who are used to views of the Ohio River and downtown Cincinnati while on the bridge. The tarp shrouding the sides and the metal sheeting overhead are part of a containment system, according to Nancy Wood with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. Wood said they’re both in place to protect drivers from debris that is created by work that is taking place. Both the tarp and the metal barrier also keep debris from falling into the water below,

according to Wood. Work includes sandblasting the existing surface, then cleaning, then painting. Construction crews on the bridge are working on both the Ohio and Kentucky approach as well as the main structure of the bridge. The project should be completed in November. Both Ohio and Kentucky say 160,000 vehicles use the bridge a day based on traﬃ c counts, modeling and forecasts using data from previous studies, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet spokesperson Naitore Djigbenou said in an email to The Enquirer. That number is from a commissioned report the Missouri-based architecture ﬁ rm HNTB completed in 2019.

These Greater Cincinnati schools make list of best in the U.S. Briana Rice Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Cincinnati has some of the best high schools around, according to a new report from US News and World Report. For its annual list, the US News Best High Schools ranked around 17,860 public high schools after reviewing nearly 24,000 public high schools in 50 states and the District of Columbia. The rankings came out recently and include some familiar names in Greater Cincinnati. In Ohio, Walnut Hills High School tops the list but eight other local high schools also ranked in the top 30 in the state. In Kentucky, ﬁ ve local high schools ranked in the top 30 in the state.

In Covington, neighbors rally to save their urban farm Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COVINGTON, Ky. – Luna Vickers, 2, stretched out her hand to feed a cluster of chittering chickens. The chickens live here, at Orchard Park, in Covington’s Westside at the corner of Orchard Street and Locust Street. The space is bordered by identical shotgun-style houses on one side, and buildings with faded paint and boarded windows on another. Vickers and her mom, Gloria San Miguel, 31, visit the space to learn, play and garden with other neighbors. During the past seven years, residents transformed this half-acre lot into a community garden where strawberry plants bloom, beehives buzz and neighbors swap produce. But this space has technically belonged to the city since the early 2000s. Its plan to have developers transform the space into housing was derailed by the Great Recession. So, the space sat vacant. Neighbors on the block turned it into the urban farm it is today. It became so popular, that a real estate agent used it in promotional pictures to sell a nearby home. In early 2020, the city revived the plan to build homes because of the recent investments in the Westside neighborhood and because of the city’s shortage of available housing. And, it reiterated to the neighbors it has always allowed the garden to run only temporarily. In the past 10 years, the median house sale prices increased 177% in Covington. And, the average number of houses that went on the market in the same time decreased 17%, according to an Enquirer analysis of data provided by the Northern Kentucky Association of Realtors. “There are things that are becoming out of reach in this neighborhood for many of the residents here,” said Covington resident Ana Summe. “But this is something that everybody can participate in.” The gardeners have collected hundreds of signatures to try and preserve their garden and encourage development elsewhere.

How the garden came to be The space was among a handful of plots the city bought for blight removal and demolition. The initiative was a response to the deteriorating housing stock and complaints of criminal activity said Covington’s Neighborhood Services Director Ken Smith in an email to The Enquirer. Soon after, the Great Recession “created a very diﬃ cult environment for development activity, both nationally and locally,” Smith said. The lot was vacant until 2014. That’s when a few neighbors created a group called Grow the Cov with dreams of gardening produce steps away from their

Luna Vickers, 2, and her mother, Gloria San Miguel, feed chickens at Orchard Park in Covington, Ky., on Monday, April 12, 2021. For the last seven years residents have turned the plot of land into a community garden, planting fruit trees, herbs and vegetables as well as raising chickens. ALBERT CESARE / THE ENQUIRER

homes. A founding member of the group signed an agreement with the city to temporarily use the space for a community garden. When that member moved, the formal group dissolved. But people kept gardening and formed the new group, Orchard Park Urban Farm Project. That initial contract with the city is technically defunct, since the founding member doesn't live in Covington anymore. Garden management shifted to Janet Tobler, 57, who lives steps away from the garden on Lee Street.

Development plans resurface In March, Tobler got a text from a neighbor. “Have you heard?” The city released a request for developers to propose housing plans for nearby spaces, including the garden. The city plans to develop half of the garden into single-family housing and half into a neighborhood park. Smith, Covington’s Neighborhood Services Director, said adding the park was a compromise not included in the original plans. It could be a playground, urban agriculture space or passive greenspace, he said. It's part of a wider eﬀ ort to develop 17 Westside properties to bring more housing to the neighborhood, Smith said. He added "a few people have complained about that 'change,' but we have also received a signiﬁ -

cant amount of support and praise for these eff orts." Smith suggested people use the nearby RiddleYates Community Garden, which is also managed by residents in partnership with nonprofi t The Center for Great Neighborhoods of Covington. The original agreement to use the space, although defunct, required the city to give gardeners 30-day notice to terminate the agreement. The city has done that, Smith said. Smith told neighbors about the housing plans at a neighborhood meeting in January 2020. And, the development applications are due in May. “I wasn't necessarily surprised because the city has been talking about developing this area for a really long time, but nothing has ever come of it,” Tobler said. Development talks reignited at the January 2020 neighborhood meeting. Ana Summe, 42, attended the meeting and said, “it was very clear that the neighbors were expressing that they would like to keep this entire green space here.” Some neighbors moved to the block specifi cally for Orchard Park, and worry that the development will make the neighborhood unaff ordable. Derinda Chalfant, 68, of Covington, pointed to properties on Lee Street, close to the garden, that are being renovated and sold quickly. She suggested "people that would look into buying those properties would be far more interested if they had something like this to come to or even walk by instead of just another condo.” San Miguel said she’s had to chase rent prices to afford to live nearby. At fi rst, she thought she and her daughter might be able to move into the proposed housing. “But I already know the answers to that,” San Miguel said. “The answer would probably be no, it would be too expensive.”

Citrus curd: ‘A lovely addition to a tea party or as a Mom’s day dessert’ Double citrus curd

Luscious citrus curd mousse

Feel free to substitute all lemon or lime juice, or a combo of both like I did.

Can be made a day ahead, covered, in refrigerator.

Ingredients

Garnish right before serving.

1 cup granulated sugar

Ingredients

⁄ 3 cup each: fresh lemon and lime juice

⁄ 4cup cold citrus curd

1 cup very cold whipping cream

5 large eggs, room temperature

⁄ 2 cup powdered sugar

⁄ 2 cup butter, melted and kept hot

2-3 tablespoons lemon juice (optional but good)

Instructions Combine sugar, juice and eggs in blender. Whirl on medium speed until well mixed.

Instructions Combine curd, whipping cream, sugar and lemon juice.

On low speed, add butter slowly in thin stream. This is called “tempering” the eggs and helps prevent curdling during cooking. (You can also do this with a whisk and some elbow grease …) Transfer to saucepan and cook over low heat, whisking or stirring constantly. Curd will be foamy as you whisk during the fi rst few minutes. After 10 minutes or so, it will thicken enough to leave a “track” on the spatula when you run your fi nger down the center. Temperature will be about 170 or so, just below a simmer. Hot enough to kill bacteria but not so hot that it scrambles the eggs. Curd will look thin but fi rms to a soft set in refrigerator. Store in refrigerator, covered, up to two weeks.

Whip until fairly stiff and soft peaks form.

Citrus curd tarts are a spring-like dessert. PHOTOS BY RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE ENQUIRER

What do you do when you clean out the freezer and ﬁ nd a container of whole lemons and limes? Well, you can do what I did: make citrus curd. Yes, you can freeze lemons and limes whole. Use within a couple of months if you can. When frozen citrus is thawed, it will exude lots of juice, so that’s a bonus.

Here’s a recipe for my favorite citrus curd along with ways to use it. A lovely addition to a tea party or as a Mom’s day dessert. Now I garnished the desserts with what I had on hand – edible red bud, roses and violet ﬂ owers, along with mint and lemon verbena leaves. Fresh berries make a beautiful and tasty garnish, as well. Tip: Grow your own lemon or lime tree The lime and lemon seeds are fun for the little ones to grow. Pot them up, keep moist in a sunny location and in a week or so, seeds will start to sprout.

Makes two cups. Oh no, my citrus curd curdled! The temperature got too high. Pour through a strainer, and you’ll be OK. Most likely it’s the whites – they cook at a lower temperature than yolks.

Citrus curd tarts Fill pre-baked phyllo shells or cookie tart shells.

Let ﬁ rm up in refrigerator, covered, an hour before serving, or up to a day. Serves 4-5.

Desserts garnished with edible red bud, roses and violet flowers, along with mint and lemon verbena leaves.

Or make your own with pie pastry or phyllo in tart pans or small muffin tins. Fill about an hour prior to serving, and garnish right before serving.

Daniele Muzola, Katie Perry and Avery Scott, all three third graders at Florence Elementary completed their closed circuit to light the bulb

3rd grade hands-on science The third graders at Florence Elementary participated in “Hands on Science Week” learning and performing many hands on experiments and literally getting down on their hands and knees to complete the task. The students received an Oﬃ cial Motion Mission booklet to be completed as a group. Each mission asked a question they had to test to answer and a question they had to make a prediction about before testing their theory. Many visual items were used to explain motion, force or energy. Bouncing a ball, what makes it bounce higher? Spinning a top or spinning a pinwheel what happens when you use gentle force or strong force? One of the favorites was blowing bubbles and coming up with another way to make bubbles without blowing. The students discovered by blowing with a lot of force no bubbles were produced, not enough force no bubbles were produced but blowing with a medium force lots of bubbles were created. Most of the students agreed that waving the wand would produce bubbles but that again took medium force to create bubbles. Marbles was another great visual item when learning about force and motion. The simple task of rolling a marble in a straight line was not easy to perform. Then, what happens when two marbles bump into each other. The force pushes the marbles in opposite directions. The following week the third graders learned about completing a closed circuit and were given the supplies to create their own circuit. By working together their mission was accomplished, how to light the bulb. The “Hands on Science” along with the students being back to school four days a week give us all the sense of normalcy, which is much needed. Kathy Kuhn, Florence Elementary

Highlands senior Mac Russell won two events, and Beechwood senior Eli Shoyat won one. Notre Dame sophomore Lainy Kruger claimed a championship in the girls meet April 24. Northern Kentucky’s state qualifi ers competed at Union College, one of three sites that hosted the state championships. Times from the competitions at the three sites were combined to determine championships and scoring. Russell, who has signed with Kentucky, won the 50-yard freestyle for the second straight year. He also won the 100 freestyle, giving him three career championships. He won the 50 free in 20.34 seconds, meeting the All-American standard. Russell won the 100 freestyle in 44.66 seconds, beating senior teammate Jack Banks by 0.28 seconds. Both of them made the All-American standard cut. Shoyat, a Louisville signee, won the 500 freestyle in 4:24.39, winning by 4.52 seconds and meeting the AllAmerican standard. He was 1.39 seconds off the state record. Shoyat also fi nished second in the 200 freestyle Highlands fi nished second in the team standings to St. Xavier, which continued its 30-plus year streak of team titles. Covington Catholic fi nished fourth. Russell and Banks helped the Bluebirds fi nish second in two of the three relays.

set last year by Assumption’s Ella Welch, who shattered it April 24 to win the event again. Kruger set a school record in the event. Ryle fi nished in fourth place in the girls standings to win a team medal, fi nishing just half a point ahead of fi fth place Christian Academy-Louisville. Ryle senior Alex Arkenberg won four state medals. She fi nished second in the 200 individual medley and fourth in the 500 freestyle.

Norsemen adjusted to, succeeded in pandemic hockey James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Like every sport, ice hockey has required plenty of adjustments from its players to keep on going during the pandemic. That required a lot of adjustments for players on the Northern Kentucky Norsemen varsity high school team, which is comprised of players from various high schools. The team is based at the Northern Kentucky Ice Center in Crescent Springs. When the Norsemen weren’t practicing or playing games there, they were traveling two-plus hours in any direction for games. “Hockey players are creatures of habit,” said head coach Jaime Antelo recently. “They’re used to getting to the arena early, having time to put their jerseys on, put their skates on and prepare for the game. A lot of the rinks we went to, we weren’t allowed in until 15 minutes before the game, and they were sometimes dressing in a cafeteria. But everybody had to deal with that, and our kids were resilient.” The Norse went 37-17-4 this season, losing to Owensboro in the Kentucky state championship, which is not sponsored by the Kentucky High School Athletic Association. Victorious Owensboro won a berth in the national championships.

Here is the 2020-21 Northern Kentucky Norsemen ice hockey team. PROVIDED

“We played very well in that game,” Antelo said. “It’s hard seeing those kids not get that fi nal victory, but I’m proud of them." The Norsemen have reached the state fi nal for fi ve straight seasons. They won it in 2017 and 2019, and played in the national tournament those years, as well as 2020 after the state champion was unable to participate. The Norse will make further bids for titles without Antelo, who was just named an assistant coach with the Cincinnati Junior Cyclones in junior hock-

ey.

Antelo picked up his 300th career win this season and was a two-time Kentucky high school coach of the year. Tryouts for next season’s team will take place May 8-9 at the Northern Kentucky Ice Center. More information is available at NKYHA.com. Seniors are Ethan Cross, Tanner Kathman, Juan Guzman, Nathan Sunderhaus, Brennan Sheﬀ el, Kayden McMullen, Lukas Rintala and Eric Wiesner. Sunderhaus, a Conner High School

senior, will play junior hockey next season. He led the team with 80 goals and 60 assists, far more than another player. “I knew from watching him years ago that he was a special talent,” Antelo said. Kathman, from Scott High School, had 14 goals, 12 on the power play, with 26 assists, and leads the defense. Guzman had 14 goals and 19 assists. Cross had 11 and 13, Sheﬀ el (Brossart) 7 and 17, McMullen 2 and 12, Rintalla 11 and 23 and Wiesner 3 and 10. Several seniors will play in college next year. Underclassmen led the way in scoring this year. Garrett Elliott had 38 goals and 33 assists, Jack Peirol 27 and 32, Mark Dugan 28 and 18 and Jacob Vegso 26 and 23. Northern Kentucky averaged 5.5 goals per game. All but one position player on the roster had at least two goals this season. Tyler Black and Tyler Siuda split time in goal and each allowed less than two goals per game. Antelo enjoys the pride and joy of being a coach. Several former players are currently playing college in Kentucky and elsewhere. “The camaraderie with the boys,” he said last year. “The bond you build with those kids. It’s great that after they graduate, you see them go on into college and junior hockey. It’s fun to watch them develop into good people."

NKY duo wins KHSAA state diving titles James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Northern Kentucky continues to dominate boys diving in Kentucky. St. Henry senior Aidan Stigall won the Kentucky High School Athletic Association one-meter boys diving championship April 22 in Versailles. He becomes the ﬁ fth local male diver in as many years to win the title, and this marks the 11th time in the last 12 years a Northern Kentuckian has won the championship, including eight different divers. In unoﬃ cial results posted on the KHSAA web site, Stigall scored 465.75 points to beat Brandon Anderson of St. Xavier by 41.05. He averaged 43.37 points on the 11 dives in the program.

He is the second St. Henry diver to win the boys title, following Mitchell Kellerman in 2006. No St. Henry swimmer, male or female, has won a state swimming title. Scott’s Alex Warning fi nished third and Covington Catholic’s Jake Larkin. Cooper freshman Peytton Moore won the girls diving championship, the fi rst by a local girls diver in three years. She becomes the Jaguars' second state champion in this tournament, following Sharli Brady, who won three swimming titles. Moore scored 429.05 points to win by 9.35 points. She had a 9.5 on one of her dives to help her win. Teammate Chris Nowak fi nished sixth in the state. Simon Kenton's Leigha Travis fi nished eighth.

State diving medalists: Gus Staubitz of Holy Cross, far left, is state champ. Next o him, Finn Murphy of Highlands was second. Sam Schuh of CovCath, second from right, was 7th, and Aidan Stigall of St. Henry, far right, was 8th. JAMES WEBER/ THE COMMUNITY RECORDER

COMMUNITY NEWS Party on the Purple returns For the fourth year, the “Party on the Purple” series is returning to the Purple People Bridge this spring and summer. Presented by ColdIron Events and the Purple People Bridge the free weekly summer party series – which includes live music, food trucks, beer, wine, and spirits – will run every Wednesday evening until Aug. 4. Christian Moerlein, Little Kings, Braxton Brewery and Vive are all sponsors of this year’s series. Each night will have a theme, such as Single’s Night, 80’s Night, Dog Night, and much more. As in past years, the Party on the Purple will run from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. “The Purple People Bridge is thrilled to host the ever-popular Party on the Purple once again this year. We are proud to be one of the fi rst venues to safely open back up for public events outside,” said Will Weber, incoming President/CEO of the Newport Southbank Bridge Company. “The fi rst week of May is actually National Small Business Week and National Travel and Tourism Week- what a great opportunity to open back up for events. These two groups have been greatly hindered during this past year and we are excited to welcome back local small businesses and tourists to the bridge for Party on the Purple.” A portion of funds generated from food and drink sales during the weekly Party on the Purple events go toward painting and maintaining the historic pedestrian-only bridge. The Newport Southbank Bridge Company, a nonprofi t organization, is trying to raise $1 million to repaint the bridge and make other capital improvements. You can fi nd more information about the Purple People Bridge’s fundraising eff orts here. “Party on the Purple is gearing up for its wildly successful fourth year, and we couldn’t be more excited.” said Marc Wertheim, Event Producer and President/ CEO of ColdIron Enterprises Inc. “We know people are ready to get out and enjoy the nice weather and we can’t think of a better way than to bring back Party on the Purple.

Preparing to preserve food this year

Mason

While gardens may just beginning to take shape, it is the perfect time to start thinking about preserving your homegrown foods and gathering the supplies to do so. It is always a good idea to purchase your supplies early, so you are not running to stores, hunting for hard-to-ﬁ nd items at the last minute. In recent years,

we have seen an increase in interest in food preservation, and we anticipate some items may be diﬃ cult to ﬁ nd come harvest time. Canning supplies may typically be available at many home goods store, farm supply stores, hardware stores, big box retailers and even online. If you are an experienced canner, you should inventory your supplies to see what you have on hand and what you need to purchase before heading to the store. If you are new to canning or thinking about trying a new method of food preservation this year, decide which food preservation method you will use before gathering supplies. There are only two safe methods of canning foods − the boiling water bath and pressure canning methods. All other types of canning are not safe. To reduce your risk of contracting a food-borne illness, you should only consume food that has been preserved using one of these two methods and precisely follow a research-based recipe. Research-based recipe sources include home canning publications from the Cooperative Extension Service, the Ball Blue Book Guide to Preserving and the National Center for See COMMUNITY, Page 4B

Levee to roll out slate of new bars, eateries Randy Tucker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Beeline, a cocktail bar with an outdoor patio, will open this fall at Newport on the Levee, according to North American Properties (NAP), which is redeveloping the town-center-style shopping center on the banks of the Ohio River. Beeline will occupy a 2,800-squarefoot space at the Levee with garagedoor style entries that open to panoramic views of the Ohio River and Cincinnati skyline, NAP recently announced. Beeline’s ﬁ rst location opened at Easton Town Center in Columbus last year. It's operated by Cincinnati-based hospitality company, Four Entertainment Group (4EG), which has more than a dozen other bars and restaurants in Chicago and Cincinnati, including Igby’s, Mount Adams Pavilion and The Roosevelt Room. Beeline will join forces with four new

local vendors scheduled to open at the Levee's Bridgeview Box Park open-air dining and shopping area next month. They include: h The Buzz, a sister concept to Beeline from 4EG that serves a variety of craft cocktails and frozen drinks. h West Sixth Brewing, a Kentuckybased craft brewery with locations in Lexington, Louisville and Frankfort. h Blackmarket Saloon, a locally owned business serving spiked lemonades and specialty cocktails in addition to Chuy's chips and salsas. h CrepeGuys, a crepes restaurant that serves savory and dessert crepes as well as cold brew coﬀ ee. “As the redevelopment of the Levee nears completion, we’re excited to introduce four concepts that perfectly align with our vision for the new Newport, bringing an undeniable energy to the street-level experience,” says Regan Noppenberger, leasing representative for NAP.

Patrons sit at Bridgeview Box Park, which provides a new type of open-air dining and shopping at Newport on the Levee, in Newport, Ky. on Wednesday, June 24, 2020. GRACE PRITCHETT/ENQUIRER

COMMUNITY NEWS Continued from Page 3B

Home Food Preservation’s website https://nchfp.uga.edu/. Be aware that not every canning recipe on social media sites is a quality or safe recipe or from a research-based source. To preserve food using the boiling water bath method, you need a large pot with a tight-ﬁ tting lid. The pot should be deep enough to have boiling water reach at least two inches over the tops of your jars. If you decide to can your vegetables, be sure to use a pressure canner and make sure the one you have is in good working order. You will also need a rack to sit your jars on, so they do not touch the bottom of the canner. If you purchase a new canner, it will come with one. Proper canning methods use masontype canning jars that were created with thicker glass and speciﬁ cally designed for canning. Other types of jars, such as craft or storage jars, will not work and may even break under the high temper-

atures used during processing. A wide-mouth funnel will help you pour food into a jar. You also need lids and rings to seal the jars. We recommend using a two-piece ring and lid set. You will also need a jar lifter to move jars in and out of the canner. A headspace measurer/bubble remover will make sure you have the correct amount of space between the lid and the food. You do not want to overﬁ ll your jar or have your food touching the lid as this will prevent the lid from getting a good vacuum seal. If you do not have a good vacuum seal, bacteria can get into the food. You should always follow a recipe’s directions for headspace but generally jams and jelly need a quarter inch of head space, acidic foods like tomatoes, pickles and relishes need a half-inch of headspace and low-acid foods like green beans need 1 to 1 ¼ inches of headspace. More information on food preservation is available by contacting the Boone

County oﬃ ce of the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service by calling 859-586-6101. Diane Mason, Boone County Cooperative Extension

Women’s Crisis Center hosts inaugural Drive for Change to raise emergency funds for rural counties Williamstown, KY – Women’s Crisis Center (WCC) will host its 1st annual Drive for Change golf outing on Friday, May 28 at Eagle Creek Country Club.

Christy Burch, WCC CEO says, “while WCC has always off ered services to the rural counties we serve, in recent years we have worked really hard to raise awareness and expand services within these counties. This past year has proven to be an incredibly trying year for all of us and we have found that our work has become even more vital to our community.
