NKY’s Frontier Worlds theme park lost to Kings Island Jeff Suess Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The king of the wild frontier nearly had his own theme park in Northern Kentucky.

On Sept. 9, 1968, actor Fess Parker, famous for portraying Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone on television, announced plans to build Frontier Worlds, a $13.5 million theme park described as “Kentucky’s answer to Disneyland,” in Boone County.

The Enquirer broke the news on the front page the morning of the press conference where Parker, Kentucky Gov. Louie B. Nunn and Boone County offi cials revealed details of a $100 million development that would start with the theme park, scheduled to open in See PARK, Page 2A

Towering 150-year-old ginkgo tree ‘will not be removed’ for elementary school expansion Chris Mayhew and Quinlan Bentley Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A cherished ginkgo tree will not be harmed as a result of a planned expansion of a Kenton County elementary school.

The Kenton County School District appears to have listened to the public’s concerns and has decided not to remove the ginkgo tree – thought to be 150 years old, school district offi cials said in a tweet Saturday morning.

“The KCSD has taken necessary steps to ensure the (Ginkgo) tree is protected & will not be removed as part of construction,” the tweet read. “The goal is to provide world-class facilities for our kids & we will continue to work to fi nd alternative solutions at Hinsdale going forward.”

Edgewood City Councilman Ben Barlage said he was trying to spread the word to people about the tree when he saw it marked with an ‘X’ for demolition in a Kenton County Schools’ plan for an expansion at R.C. Hinsdale Elementary School.

His Facebook post about the tree and school’s intertwined history generated 106 shares. Barlage said his phone has been fi lled with texts and calls from people who remember the tree fondly, he said. Ginkgo trees, native to Southeast Asia, can also be found across the Midwest.

The school district, in a written statement released

June 11, said it was talking about making other plans that would allow the tree to stay.

“On behalf of the Kenton County School District, we recognize the importance of the beloved (Ginkgo) tree to the school and the larger community,” said Jess Dykes, director of public information for the district in the statement. “The district is reviewing all options to ensure we can protect the tree through construction.”

Barlage, who is an architect, said he understands the school’s need to expand.

When architect Robert Ehmet Hayes designed the school, the tree was purposefully kept in front of the school, according to a July 2, 1971, Enquirer article, announcing the planned school.

Barlage went to the school, and to this day class and staff photos are frequently taken with the tree in the background. Anyone who went to school there knows about the tree.

“It’s an ever-present part of the school,” he said.

For a suburban area, the tree is an important part of the city’s history, he said.

It’s believed the ginkgo was planted by a Cincinnati iron foundry owner, George Phillips, who used the property as a summer home and was among the group that created the Dudley Pike when it was a toll road, Barlage said.

The property where the tree is was later owned by attorney John B. O’Neal before it was acquired by the public schools, he said.

BY THE WAY NKY

NKY offi cial email called anti-abortion ordinance ‘a waste of paper’ Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

This is an installment of reporter Julia Fair’s series “By the way, NKY.” Here, you’ll fi nd what’s going on in Northern Kentucky.

If there’s something you think should be included, email reporter Julia Fair at jfair@enquirer.com

‘Passing an ordinance would be a waste of paper’ Edgewood City Council emails about abortion clinic ordinance In May, Lebanon became the fi rst city in Ohio to ban abortions.

When local cities pass new legislation, especially on polarizing social issues, I wonder who’s going to do it next.

So, I’ve been on the lookout to see if any Northern Kentucky cities are going to try to outlaw abortions locally.

I read a River City News article about Mike Thelen, 56, of Edgewood, who asked council at its May 17 meeting to outlaw abortion just like Lebanon did.

I sent the city of Edgewood a records request and asked for emails city offi cials sent to each other that mentioned abortion. I wanted the emails so I could see what city leaders said about Thelen’s request.

A few days after Edgewood voted to table discussions about outlawing abortion clinics, I got the emails back. They included an offi cial from the Diocese of Covington emailing a councilmember, and discussions about Roe v. Wade and zoning issues related to abortion clinics.

On May 25, Jamie Schroeder, a Chancellor at Diocese of Covington based in Covington, emailed Edgewood Councilman Dale Henson, who is the chief fi nancial offi cer for the diocese. Schroeder is on the team that assists the Bishop in the “pastoral and administrative” governance of the Diocese of Covington, according to the group’s website.

The Enquirer was unable to reach the Diocese of Covington before publication.

Schroeder forwarded to Henson an article Thelen sent her about Lebanon declaring itself a sanctuary city for the

unborn. Schroeder added that the man who helped Lebanon indicated he would help Edgewood as well.

Henson forwarded the email to City Administrator Brian Dehner with the message “FYI.” Also on May 25, Dehner and Councilwoman Darla Kettenacker emailed each other about the ordinances.

Kettenacker wrote to Dehner about a petition Thelen posted online to ask the city to ban abortions.

“Correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t Council be involved with Planning/Zoning if someone even tried to open an abortion clinic in our city?” Kettenacker wrote. She asked if they could ask City Attorney Frank Wichmann about it.

She wrote about how there are no abortion clinics in Kenton County, and how Edgewood is a “strong, highly Catholic, community who promote the sanctity of life.”

“Frank told the Mayor and I that passing an ordinance would be a waste of paper at this time because it wouldn’t be enforceable,” Dehner wrote. “He also brought up the Supreme Court ruling everyone is waiting on. Frank said it would probably bring about several lawsuits on the city and cost the city funds in defending it at this time.”

Dehner said he is anti-abortion, and that his comments are what he believes

Park Continued from Page 1A

June 1970.

Parker’s Fespar Enterprises, Inc., held options on 1,500 acres near the intersection of I-71 and I-75 in Walton, Kentucky. The theme park would occupy 140 acres located on Beaver Road, based on a map printed in The Enquirer.

The remaining acres would be for hotels, restaurants and residences.

Frontier Worlds was dedicated to the heroes of American history. It would “re-create 20 frontier ‘worlds’ conquered by American heroes, real and fabled, from wilderness scouts to space explorers,” The Enquirer reported.

Guests would enter the park through a large replica of the Mayfl ower, then could roam through diff erent historical eras from colonial times to the Old West to “contemporary space and science frontiers.”

The initial 20 “super-attractions” included a Rocky Mountain thrill ride, a Klondike gold-rush town, a Huckleberry Finn raft adventure, a Salem witch whirl-through, an anti-gravity attraction, a rocket ride, a showboat and a time machine. Characters from American folklore such as Paul Bunyan and Pecos Bill would interact with guests.

Boone County seemed an ideal location for Frontier Worlds. From 1964 to 1970, Parker appeared on TV each week

in the show “Daniel Boone” as the legendary frontiersman, for whom the county was named. The show was set in Boonesborough, Kentucky, and even featured a character named Cincinnatus. It was a serendipitous choice, beating out St. Louis and Denver as possible sites.

“We countered with Florence, population 5,837, and Burlington, population 350, and Gunpowder Creek,” Gov. Nunn said, as part of the state’s eff orts to lure the project to Kentucky. “But we won.”

At the time, Coney Island was the main amusement park draw in the area,

“would be best for the City as an organization.”

He wrote that the city could pass a resolution to indicate they are opposed to abortion clinics and that one would not be welcome in the city.

“Later if Roe v. Wade is overturned, we could then seek legal opinion on what to do,” he wrote. “I don’t think people recognize it, but this is a zoning issue, not just passing an ordinance. We would probably need to look at the zones we have that allow medical procedure offi ces and amend those zones to prohibit the type of business (abortion.)”

Kettenacker thanked Dehner for his insight. She said waiting to see what happens to Roe v. Wade “sounds like the right thing to do,” and that the zoning information was helpful.

Money to improve Boone County streams, forests Money is available to spruce up streams and forests in Boone County.

The Boone County Conservation District partnered with the Kentucky Natural Resource Conservation Service to give out up to $800,000 on conservation projects in the Middle Creek Watershed. Landowners will be able to use the money to improve the health of forests or streams, said Watershed Project Manager Mark Jacobs.

Jacobs told The Enquirer they want to help landowners remove invasive species and protect forests.

More than 500 parcels in 7,100 acres of the watershed could benefi t from the program. Owners can encourage the growth of native plants, which can help stabilize stream banks. Other projects could include creating pollinator habitats, managing brush, building a livestock fence to keep animals out of streams, and more.

Eligible land includes cropland, rangeland, pastureland, non-industrial private forestland and other farm or ranch lands. Approved landowners will be reimbursed for their project, Jacobs said.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has been implementing programs like this one, through the Environmental

bringing in about 1 million visitors each summer.

Feasibility studies done by Economic Research Associates reported that the new park would employ a staff of 1,000 and generate $180 million in tourist trade in 10 years. Visitors were predicted to reach 2.5 million a year. ERA noted that the location was within 500 miles from two-thirds of the population of the United States.

“We believe Frontier Worlds will help Coney Island,” said James McCarthy, vice president of ERA and project manager of the park. He noted that more people would be attracted to Cincinnati because of Frontier Worlds.

Parker had wanted to have his own theme park since he was on hand for the opening of Disneyland in 1955. He appeared in Frontierland as Davy Crockett from the Disney shows that launched a craze in the mid-’50s.

“Let’s face it: Fess Parker, despite his quiet, unassuming and gentlemanly ways, is, yet withal, a hardheaded business man, alert to the possibilities of good merchandising in the entertainment world,” Enquirer correspondent Bob Ellis wrote.

Parker assembled a team with impressive credentials. ERA was founded

by Harrison “Buzz” Price, who determined Anaheim as the location for Disneyland and did economic studies for Walt Disney World. The park designer was Randall Duell, who designed several amusement parks for Six Flags and the original Universal Studios Backlot Tour. Louis H. Roth, the consulting architect-engineer, was a project engineer for Disneyland.

Parker knew how to attract headlines, like serving as grand marshal to the Kentucky Derby parade in 1969, to drum up interest in Frontier Worlds. But he didn’t answer his mail.

Charles Sawyer, an attorney and businessman who was a 38 percent shareholder and chairman of the board of Coney Island, sent Parker a letter suggesting that, as competitors, they should talk. He received a letter from a Parker underling that said he was fi lming on location. Sawyer didn’t like that response.

“I thought if he was a smart businessman he would answer the letter. It could do no harm to talk it over,” Sawyer told The Enquirer’s Margaret Josten in 1971.

He sent a second letter and got no reply.

“I was slightly irritated,” he said.

So Sawyer actively worked against

The local conservation district will provide the application. Then, staff from the Kentucky Natural Resource Conservation Service will work with landowners through the planning process.

Covington Plaza to open On Friday, the $6.54 million Covington Plaza on the riverfront of the city of Covington was scheduled to offi cially open.

It includes two hiking and biking trails, two overlooks, canoe and kayak access, as well as a 1,350-seat amphitheater and an event area, according to a press release from the city.

Parker. “He was putting none of his own money into this deal. He was borrowing.

Whenever I heard he was going to a particular banker in New York, I would call the banker and tell him he should look into the project very carefully.”

Parker had diffi culty raising the start-up money, which had ballooned to $20 million, and the project stalled.

Meanwhile, Gary Wachs, whose family owned Coney Island, was looking to relocate their park because of the fl ooding along the river, and Charles Mechem, chairman of Taft Broadcasting Co., was looking for an amusement park to showcase the company’s Hanna-Barbera characters.

In March 1969, Taft and Coney Island announced joint plans to build Kings Island in Kings Mills, Ohio. Then, Taft bought Coney’s assets for stock worth $6.5 million and Coney Island was closed in 1971, with Kings Island opening a year later.

“I could have made the deal with Fess Parker as well as with Taft Broadcasting,” Sawyer said, indicating the importance of business decorum.

“So he literally ended Fess Parker,” Wachs said.

Parker abandoned the Frontier Worlds project in February 1971. “Unfortunately, the competition created by Taft Broadcasting’s amusement park has drastically aff ected our project there,” Parker said.

He tried again to build Frontier Worlds, this time in Santa Clara, California, south of San Francisco Bay. But, frustrated with the city government and potential investors, Parker sold his interests in 1973 to Marriott’s and they built California’s Great America, which is now owned by Kings Island’s parent company, Cedar Fair.

Who knows if Frontier Worlds would have had the success of Kings Island?

The Americana theme, popular in the 1970s, faded in more cynical times, while the increasing thrills of the tallest and fastest roller coasters have made amusement parks a thriving industry.

Kings Island attracts nearly 3.5 million visitors most years.

Meanwhile, the site in Boone County sits undeveloped to this day.

Officers from the Kentucky State Police respond to the scene of an officer-involved shooting in Independence, Kentucky, on Tuesday, June 1 that left one man dead. QUINLAN BENTLEY/THE ENQUIRER

Man killed in June 1 and NKY offi cer involved in shooting identifi ed case, according to the release.

The police response started that morning after a woman called 911 to report a person was breaking into an abandoned house through the garage.

A police report provided by Kentucky State Police with details redacted lists the off ense as a "response to resistance investigation" at an abandoned structure at an undisclosed street address.

The report lists that police were dispatched at 7:23 a.m. Offi cers arrived at 7:31 a.m., according to the report. The narrative portion of the report was withheld.

The report does indicate Thompson's hands were tested for gunshot residue.

It also lists property.

The list includes several fi rearms and ammunition. Sanders said the fi rearms were likely brought to the house.

The report lists Thompson's city of residence as Covington.

Sanders previously told the Enquirer that offi cers from Independence and Kenton County Police Department confronted an armed suspect inside. He said one offi cer fi red at the man and fatally wounded him.

A Kenton County judge had ordered the single-level residence where the shooting happened sold weeks prior to the shooting on May 21.

Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Two weeks after an Independence Police offi cer-involved shooting, offi cials released the names of the 29-yearold who was killed and the offi cer who fi red the shot.

Jonathan Craig Thompson was the person shot and killed June 1 in the 800 block of Ridgeway Drive, said Kenton County Commonwealth Attorney Rob Sanders.

Kentucky State Police, which Independence asked to investigate the incident, confi rmed Thompson as the person killed. No offi cers or members of the community were hurt, KSP said in the release.

A June 15 KSP release lists Independence Sgt. Michael Brock, who has worked at the department for 11 years, as the offi cer who fi red the shot.

Brock has been placed on administrative assignment pending the outcome of the investigation under the Independence department's policies and procedures, according to the KSP release.

KSP said to protect the integrity of the ongoing investigation, it is standard procedure to not to release any additional details "until vital witnesses have been interviewed and pertinent facts gathered."

‘No individual is inherently racist.’ Gallatin County Schools on banning critical race theory Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Gallatin County Schools board banned critical race theory in an eff ort to “not create greater divisions” among students and staff , superintendent Larry Hammond wrote in a June 17 statement to The Enquirer.

The fi ve board members – Rebecca Burgett, Hargis Davis, Amanda Dunavent, Chuck Toler and Sonya Giles – have not responded to The Enquirer with additional comments about the decision.

The board voted unanimously June 15 to ban critical race theory (CRT) throughout the district, which is comprised of 1,725 students located in a county that is 95% white, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. It is the fi rst school board in the Cincinnati region and apparently the fi rst board in Kentucky to do so.

The theory, which is not generally taught in K-12 schools, is an academic study that explores how racism is ingrained in systems, like public schools and politics, lifting up white people and creating barriers for people of color. CRT is oftentimes taught in college.

In his statement, Hammond wrote the board believes no individual is “inherently racist, sexist or oppressive” due to their own race or sex, “whether consciously or unconsciously.”

The language is reminiscent of a proposed bill by state Rep. Joseph Fischer, R-Fort Thomas, to ban teachers from discussing systemic racism or related concepts in the classroom. Bill Request 60 was fi led ahead of Kentucky’s 2022 legislative session, which begins in January.

One of the bill’s prohibited topics for teachers includes the idea that any individual is “inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive” by virtue of their own race or sex, “whether consciously or unconsciously.” The bill also bans teachers from teaching anything that would promote “divisions between, or resentment of ” diff erent groups of people, like religious groups, political groups or social classes.

Hammond said the board “feels strongly that individual student needs remain a priority in all aspects of planning and service delivery.” These needs should be met equitably, he added.

“Such examples would include contracts to provide increased services to meet mental and behavioral health issues of students without respect of sex, race or socioeconomic status,” Hammond wrote.

Here is Hammond’s full statement: Gallatin County Board of Education feels strongly that individual student needs remain a priority in all aspects of planning and service delivery. The Board further expects and promotes student needs being met equitably. Such examples would include contracts to provide increased services to meet mental and behavioral health issues of students without respect of sex, race or socio-economic status. The Board also believes no individual is “inherently racist, sexist or oppressive” due to their race or sex, “whether consciously or unconsciously”. Agenda item VI.I. from the June 15 BOE meeting “Discussion/Action to Ban Critical Race Theory in Gallatin County School District” was a statement to affi rm the belief and commitment to ensure every child’s needs will be met. Furthermore, the eff ort was to not create greater divisions among students and staff through the promotion of CRT.

NKY Pride Center: The community needed it, supported it and here it is About Us Kathrine Nero Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

One look at the explosion of rainbows in stores tells you it's Pride Month.

But there’s another physical manifestation of Pride that’s not just changing wardrobes: it’s changing lives.

A drive down Pike Street in Covington takes you past bars and bakeries, ice cream parlors and the landmark Anchor Grill.

And smack in the middle of all of that is a gray stone building, topped by gargoyles. It’s the home of the NKY Pride Center, set to offi cially open in July.

“The mission all along was to open up this space,” said Bonnie Meyer, NKY Pride Center Co-Chair.

That mission took more than a decade. NKY Pride started as a festival in 2010, and that celebration quickly grew into a discussion about a greater need.

“The group came together and said, we need a community space. We need to do more to support LGBTQ youth,” said Meyer, who’s also Northern Kentucky University’s director of LGBTQ programs and services.

It was in that position she realized the growing need for a one-stop shop.

“I had so many individuals reaching out to the offi ce. Because there’s no LGBTQ center (in NKY) ... if you Google it, you get a university,” she said.

Phone calls and emails from educators, parents and community members looking for support services for themselves or their loved ones were all being funneled to her. “And it was really through the intense need from the community – we have so many talented peo-

ple across Northern Kentucky – that we thought, we really need to pull these folks together to expand the support.”

The NKY Pride Center will have everything from coff ee and networking to free public Wi-Fi and a retail space for all that rainbow gear.

But it’s the center’s support services for youth and adults that will be its cornerstone. “I heard from the juvenile justice system that there are so many youth in the system for things like truancy.

They’re going to school and getting picked on and they don’t have the support,” Meyer said. “They need a place.

They need a community.”

Northern Kentucky is an area undergoing change in this arena: Covington was the fi rst city in Northern Kentucky to pass a fairness ordinance (2003) and the fi rst in the state to ban conversion therapy (2020). It’s no coincidence that it’s also the location of the Pride Center.

Meyer said Covington has been behind the eff ort “with people power and fi nancial support and partnership. They’re an incredible partner to the Pride Center in supporting so many of the services we’ll be able to off er.”

“I really think it’s been the regional movement that’s gotten us to this point,” said Meyer.

And so the countdown is on for the NKY Pride Center to offi cially open its doors in a few weeks; with rainbows on the windows and gargoyles on the roof – and with community support fueling it.

Bouquet Chef Stephen Williams, owner of Bouquet in Covington, prepares dinner at the James Beard House in New York. THE ENQUIRER/JOHN TAGGART

What local chefs eat when they're not cooking for you Keith Pandolfi Food columnist Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Ever wonder what your favorite chefs crave when they're not cooking for you? I asked some of Cincinnati's fi nest, and their answers made me realize just how many things I've yet to try here in town. These dishes will take you all over the Greater Cincinnati area, from Anderson Township to Camp Washington; Fort Mitchell to Covington. All I can say is hop in your car, bus or streetcar and take their advice. These folks know what they're talking about.

Paul Barraco, chef/co-owner, the Governor, Milford: The Iskender kebab (slices of kebab meat over garlic toasted bread, served with yogurt and tomato sauce) at Leyla Mediterranean is really great. I really love Turkish food, and their version is so well seasoned. The bread is homemade and the tomato sauce is smoky and rich without being heavy. It's also a great use of herbs and spices. In fact, everything there is great.

418 Beechmont Ave., 513-231-2888, leylamediterranean.com.

Lauren Brown, former sous chef at Restaurant Daniel, New York City; former executive chef at the University Club of Cincinnati: The pommes souffl es with bearnaise sauce from Boca. It reminds me of my childhood growing up at the Maisonette (Lauren is the daughter of longtime Maisonette maitre d' Richard Brown). As I’ve become a chef and gone through all the work it takes to make food taste and look beautiful, I’ve especially learned to appreciate the art of French haute cuisine. I love that Boca was able to recreate this dish (which was a mainstay at the Maisonette) so perfectly and bring back those special memories. It's always such a treat to dine there when I’m home.

Boca,114 E. Sixth St., Downtown, 513-542202, bocacincinnati.com.

Hideki Harada, chef/owner at Kiki, College Hill: Being out here in College Hill, I crave Bridges Nepali Cuisine (in nearby Northside) at least once a month, especially their hakku chuala (a rice bowl with spicy grilled chicken, ginger, yellow peas and olive oil). And my daughter smashes their momos (Nepali-style dumplings with your choice of fi lling).

Bridges Nepali 4165 Hamilton Ave., Northside, 513-374-9354; 133 E. Court St., Downtown, 519-978-9055; bridgesnepalicuisine.com.

Bhumin Desai, chef, culinary director of March First Brewing and Distilling: I would have to say the meatballs (wagyu beef meatballs with scallion gremolata and lemon-caper puree) at Bouquet. Just the simplicity of the dish is what I love about it. It has all the ingredients we know and love, but it's balanced to perfection. [Chef Stephen Williams] always does an excellent job with that.

Bouquet, 519 Main St., Covington, 859-4917777, bouquetrestaurant.com.

Daniel Wright, chef and co-owner of Queen City Hospitality Group: The empanadas at Mita's (Downtown); the

goetta and egg sandwich at Eckerlin Meats (Findlay Market); the Potatoes Anna at Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse (Downtown); the chili at Zip's Cafe (Mount Lookout); the iced coff ee at Pho Lang Thang (OTR); the sausage pizza at Adriatico's (Clifton Heights); and the Taco al Pastor at Pata Roja Taqueria (Pendleton).

For my last meal, give me the sweet corn agnolotti at Boca (Downtown); the crab Rangoon at Oriental Wok (Hyde Park and Fort Mitchell); and 16 Bricks salted rye with good butter and a pinch of salt.

Derek dos Anjos, chef/co-owner of Parts & Labor, Oakley: My choice for favorite dish is from Fausto at the CAC. It's the warm gigante beans with chorizo vinaigrette, pita breadcrumbs, fermented and fresh radish, fresh herbs and spicy greens.

Sometimes I add on a piece of grilled octopus. I fi nd this dish just hits all the right notes. It’s earthy and light; it’s essentially a salad, but it’s warm and inviting. With each bite, I can’t place some of the fl avors but they are all familiar. I fi nd myself asking, "Wait what is that? Oh, right; that’s the chorizo or that’s the fermented radish."

As a chef, this excites me. The salad is beautiful, well composed and feels like a piece of art.

I also love sitting in that space knowing there are world-class pieces of art just a few steps away. The Ferrari brothers have done a wonderful job bringing New American California cuisine to Cincinnati. They highlight what’s in season locally and have a deft touch when it comes to cooking techniques and execution.

Fausto, 44 E. Sixth St., Downtown, 513-3452979, faustoatthecac.com.

Jeremy Lieb, chef/owner of Sacred Beast, OTR: We go to Taqueria Mercado every Sunday (after we close Sacred Beast) for goat tacos and goat soup. They're both delicious, soulful and a great way to end our week. With that being said, everything there is delicious.

Taqueria Mercado, 100 E. Eighth St., Downtown, 513-381-0678, taqueriamercado.com.

Cristian Pietoso, chef/owner of Via Vite, Downtown; Forno Osteria + Bar, Hyde Park/ Montgomery; Nicola's, OTR: I’d say Fausto’s roasted chicken (a roasted whole or half Gerber Farms chicken with greens and sherry vinaigrette). It's the best I’ve had other than Bouchon (the famous Thomas Keller-owned French bistro in California's Napa Valley). It's juicy, fl avorful and succulent. Hats off to (Fausto owners) Tony and Austin Ferrari.

Fausto, 44 E. Sixth St., Downtown, 513-3452979, faustoatthecac.com.

Josh Campbell, head chef/owner of Holy Guacamole Restaurant Group: My favorite dish right now is Riverside Korean Restaurant's Spam and pork belly fried rice with a fried egg on top. Bruce Kim is a genius when it comes to Korean Food. The explosion of fl avors is phenomenal. Its a great treat after a hard week of work, especially when you wash it down with an ice cold beer.

Riverside Korean Restaurant, 512 Madison Ave., Covington, 859-291-1484, riversidekorean.com.

Stephen Williams, chef/owner of Bouquet, Covington: The Dragons Breath Wontons at Amerasia on Madison in Covington. My wife, Jessica, and I

fi rst started dating there when Johnny Chu (the co-owner) was working on that dish. It's got some smack-you-in-the-face garlic and spice, but it's cooked perfectly without being chewy or soggy. And the sauteed scallions give it just enough texture. I don’t believe it was my breath after eating that dish that helped me win over my wife, but we sure had a lot of good times there!

Amerasia, 521 Madison Ave., Covington, 859261-6121, amerasia.carry-out.com.

Jared Bennett, chef, Branch, Walnut Hills: I had a really good grain bowl from Fuel (a ghost kitchen run by the Taste of Belgium restaurants) with lentils, grilled chicken and baby kale. I topped it with avocado, hard boiled egg, cucumbers, crispy chickpeas and a coconut curry sauce.

1135 Vine St., OTR, 513-852-1837, eatatfuel.com.

Jose Salazar, chef/owner of Salazar, OTR; Goose & Elder, OTR; Mita's, Downtown: I am a big fan of the pozole (a traditional Mexican soup with pork, chicken, hominy, red radish, white onions, avocado, cabbage, cilantro, lime, Mexican oregano and tostadas) at Mazunte. It’s a dish that is homey and comforting, but still refi ned in some ways. I traveled with (owner) Josh Wamsley to Mexico and we had several bowls of excellent pozole [as hangover cures]. While I don’t drink anymore [and don’t need it to help me with a hangover], I still love the rejuvenated feel I get when eating it and the memories of hanging with Josh in Mexico.

Mazunte Taqueria, 5207 Madison Road, Madisonville: Mazunte Centro, 611 Main St., Downtown, 513-785-0000, mazuntetacos.com.

Tony Ferrari, co-owner of Fausto at the CAC, Downtown; Mom 'n' 'Em Coff ee, Camp Washington: I'll start off with Kiki. I love this place and the family that owns it. I come about once a week.

My favorite is the (sushi) hand rolls (if and when they have them). They're well put together with great raw seafood and perfectly cooked rice.

Also, their ramen is the perfect size and I could drink the broth everyday.

Mita's is another place I go to about once a week. I love (owner) Jose Salazar, and I think he’s doing a great job at using local ingredients and sourcing from farmers close by. Mita's always has the most vibrant fresh vegetables and salads. My favorite being the jicama and green mango salad. Its beautiful, perfect texture, and hits on every note of sweet, salty, crunchy and acidic. Secondly would be the octopus. Its creative and always very tender. This restaurant shows technique and care in the food.

KiKi, 5932 Hamilton Ave., College Hill, 513541-0381, kikicincinnati.com.

Mita's, 501 Race St., Downtown, 513-4216482, mitas.com.

Kayla Robison, head chef at Arnold's Bar and Grill, Downtown: Mom 'n' 'Em's avocado toast is the fi rst thing that comes to mind. The simplicity of it is what makes it so incredible. Lemony aioli. Perfectly ripe avocado. Fresh, hearty bread. It's topped with fl akey sea salt, a drizzle of oil, and the fresh cilantro brings it all together. It’s the perfect fuel for a morning or afternoon snack.

Mom 'n' 'Em Coff ee and Wine, 3128 Colerain Ave., Camp Washington, 513-886-0591, momnemcoff ee.com.

Need a break?

Visit this kid-free Kentucky swimming spot Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

If you're looking for a kid-free summer excursion, you don't have to drive far.

The LaGrange Quarry, Falling Rock Park is a Kentucky special. The old rock quarry is filled solely by rainwater and features crystal clear waters. And it's kid-free.

The quarry is so deep and clear that you can even scuba dive up to 55 feet deep.

You can also bring your own or rent a kayak, canoe or paddleboard for a day on the water. Because the quarry is so deep, floatation devices are required with swimmers, but that means you can bring that ridiculous unicorn float you've been eying.

Officials said the water is deep and there are very few places to touch the bottom. There are no lifeguards at the quarry.

If you get sick of the water, the park has sand volleyball courts and a surf shack to grab a bite to eat.

The quarry is drug and alcohol-free. Cars and coolers are searched upon entry.

The park is 18 and up and admission is $25. Tickets should be purchased online before arrival. Hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday through Monday in June and July; Saturday and Sunday in August.

2201 Fendley Mill Road, LaGrange; 502-939-5049; www.frp-lagrangequarry.com.

Falling Rock Park is a popular spot for divers in land-locked Kentucky. Divers on Saturday, July 9, dived under the blob at the quarry to find someone's lost GoPro. LAUREN NOLAN

Shrimp scampi with garlicky spaghetti, wilted spinach: A ‘yummy, easy summer supper’ Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

Sometimes you have to be a bit lenient with recipes. Like use them as a guide, not set in stone. Shrimp scampi is one of those. A little more of one ingredient, a little less of another. It’s all about going to taste. That’s why the recipe I’m sharing gives you leeway.

Remember, you can always add more, but you can’t take away. I tossed in some garden spinach, making this a yummy, easy summer supper.

Pass the peas please! Remove strings We all enjoy going out to the peas in the garden and eating some raw, right there and then.

The question is: do you have to string peas before eating?

We do, even though ours are the stringless variety.

A way to tell is bite into one. If it

needs stringing, you’ll know right away, as strings on both sides will be tough to chew.

The Fine Cooking site simplifi es the technique: Use fi ngernails or tips of fi ngers to snap off the stem end of the pea going toward the top seam, leaving the stringy part attached.

The partially disconnected end will act as a “zipper pull.” Pull disconnected stem end down to remove the string, just like you’d unzip a zipper. Do this on both sides.

until done but not mushy.

Right before spaghetti is done, stir in spinach. The spinach wilts real quick.

Drain and put all back in pot. Stir in garlic and olive oil.

Ingredients for pasta ⁄ 2 to 3⁄ 4 pound spaghetti or other pasta

1

While pasta is cooking, sauté shrimp: melt butter with oil over medium low heat.

Several handfuls fresh spinach (optional but good) Minced garlic – just a bit, to taste – I used a small clove, about 1⁄ 2 teaspoon

Add garlic and cook a minute or so to bring out fragrance. Be careful – garlic contains natural sugar and it can make garlic burn if heat is too high.

Olive oil, enough to coat pasta lightly a tablespoon or more

Add shrimp, salt and black pepper and cook just until shrimp turn pink and are done, stirring often, about 5 minutes or so.

Ingredients for shrimp ⁄ 2 to 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined

1

⁄ 4 cup each: butter and olive oil

1

Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and red pepper.

4 nice cloves garlic, minced – 1 tablespoon plus 11⁄ 2 teaspoons or so Salt and black pepper to taste

Add shrimp to pasta and toss gently to serve.

Lemon juice to taste – I used about 4 tablespoons

Gilding the lily: Sliced tomatoes, shredded Parmesan.

Hot red pepper flakes to taste – start with 1⁄ 8teaspoon (optional)

Swap it out Swiss chard or arugula for spinach.

Chard is mild; arugula more nutty, spicy bite.

It’s a well-known fact that for many older Americans, the home is their single biggest asset, often accounting for more than 45% of their total net worth. And with interest rates still near all-time lows while home values remain high, this combination creates the perfect dynamic for getting the most out of your built-up equity.

But, many aren’t taking advantage of this unprecedented period.

According to new statistics from the mortgage industry, senior homeowners in the U.S. are now sitting on more than 8.05 trillion dollars* of unused home equity.

Not only are people living longer than ever before, but there is also greater uncertainty in the ecomony.

With home prices back up again, ignoring this “hidden wealth” may prove to be short sighted when looking for the best long-term outcome.

All things considered, it’s not surprising that more than a million homeowners have already used a government-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) loan

For example, a lot of people mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full in order to qualify for a HECM loan, which is not the case. In fact, one key advantage of a HECM is that the proceeds will first be used to pay off any existing liens on the property, which frees up cash flow, a huge blessing for seniors living on a fixed income. Unfortunately, many senior homeowners who might be better off with a HECM loan don’t even bother to get more information because of rumors they’ve heard.

In fact, a recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s number one HECM lender, found that over 98% of their clients are satisfied with their loans. While these special loans are not for everyone, they can be a real lifesaver for senior homeowners especially in times like these.

The cash from a HECM loan can be used for almost any purpose.

Other common uses include making home improvements, paying off medical bills or helping other family members. Some people simply need

It’s a fact: no monthly mortgage payments are required with a government-insured HECM loan; however the borrowers are still responsible for paying for the maintenance of their home, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees.

Today, HECM loans are simply an effective way for homeowners 62 and older to get the extra cash they need to enjoy retirement.

Although today’s HECM loans have been improved to provide even greater financial protection for homeowners, there are still many misconceptions.

As Featured on: ABC, CBS, CNN & Fox News

*https://finance.yahoo.com/news/senior-housing-wealth-exceeds-record-154300624.html Reverse mortgage loan terms include occupying the home as your primary residence, maintaining the home, paying property taxes and homeowners insurance. Although these costs may be substantial, AAG does not establish an escrow account for these payments. However, a set-aside account can be set up for taxes and insurance, and in some cases may be required. Not all interest on a reverse mortgage is taxdeductible and to the extent that it is, such deduction is not available until the loan is partially or fully repaid.

AAG charges an origination fee, mortgage insurance premium (where required by HUD), closing costs and servicing fees, rolled into the balance of the loan. AAG charges interest on the balance, which grows over time. When the last borrower or eligible non-borrowing spouse dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, or fails to comply with the loan terms, the loan becomes due and payable (and the property may become subject to foreclosure). When this happens, some or all of the equity in the property no longer belongs to the borrowers, who may need to sell the home or otherwise repay the loan balance.

Several Northern Kentucky players recently earned all-state honors from the Kentucky High School Baseball Coaches Association.

Smith, a University of Kentucky signee at pitcher, led the Bearcats to a 24-10 record this season and the 32nd District championship. WV also fi nished as All “A” Classic state runner-up.

Smith was 4-2 with a 3.14 ERA on the mound, but See BASEBALL, Page 2B

Two NKY track athletes win 3A state championships James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Grant County junior Brooklyn Hammons set records June 12 at the Kentucky High School Athletic Association Class 3A state track and fi eld championships.

Hammons won both throwing events, the shot put and the discus, at the University of Kentucky track complex.

She won the shot put in 43 feet, 4 inches, a foot ahead of second place and just 3.5 inches off the 3A and overall state meet record.

She rewrote the book in the discus, throwing it 143 feet, 9 inches to win by more than 25 feet. The throw shattered the existing 3A meet record, which had occurred in 1981, by more than nine feet. Hammons broke the overall state meet record by 19 inches, set in the 2A state meet in 2015.

She went big on her fi nal throw in both meets. Having the win in hand in the discus, she got the record on her fi nal throw, beating her previous best throw of the meet by eight feet.

In the shot put, she was in second place going into the fi nal throw before getting the winning distance in her fi nal chance.She is the fi rst state champion in Grant County track history.

Cooper eighth-grader Simone Bessong won the state title in the girls 200 meters, running 24.92 and edging the runner-up at the fi nish line by 0.05 seconds.

She is the second state champion in Jaguars history, joining Michelle Canterna in the long jump in 2009.

Northern Kentucky won 16 medals in the girls meet.

In addition to the champs, two medals were won by Conner junior Ashlyn Vanlandingham, Dixie Heights senior Emma Hopkins, Cooper senior Jordyn Cardwell, Notre Dame senior Michaela Summe and Ryle junior Madison Rabe.

Northern Kentucky won a fourth state title in the unifi ed races by Boone County. Boone, Campbell County and Ryle had several entrants in the unifi ed events.

Reports: NKU Norse basketball to visit Indiana in December Dave Clark Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Northern Kentucky Norse basketball team will visit the Indiana Hoosiers at Assembly Hall in December, according to multiple reports.

In addition, WDRB.com's Rick Bozich reported June 16 that Norse head coach Darrin Horn said his team also will visit the Big East Conference's DePaul Blue Demons in Chicago during its non-conference schedule.

The NKU-IU matchup Dec. 22 was fi rst reported via Twitter earlier this week by @TheD1Docket.

Both reports indicated that the game in Bloomington - which would be the fi rst-ever showdown between IU and NKU - will pay the Norse $85,000.

NKU also has never faced DePaul.

Both IU's Mike Woodson and DePaul's Tony Stubblefi eld are entering their fi rst season as head coach at their respective schools. Stubblefi eld was a University of Cincinnati Bearcats assistant coach from 2006 to 2010.

Northern Kentucky Norse head coach Darrin Horn speaks to his players in the second half of the NCAA men's basketball game between the Northern Kentucky Norse and the Illinois-Chicago Flames on Sat. Jan. 30, 2021, at BB&T Arena in Highland Heights, Ky. ALBERT CESARE / THE ENQUIRER

For “F” the students read books with a fl ashlight.

The list keeps going “H” for hat and they had a special guest Sir Knows-a-Lot wearing his helmet with a plume. On “K” the boys were a king for the day going fi rst in their handmade crowns.

The following week we had a pajama day for “P” and we can’t forget all the queens for the letter “Q.” A few of the girls wore their own tiaras and fancy dresses. Coming to the end of the alphabet there was “S” for silly socks, “U” for U.S.A wearing patriotic colors and they ended with “Z” zoom out of school and into summer.

The students and teachers look forward to each day by dressing the part and participating in the themed activities to go along with the letter. A great way to end this challenging year on a positive vibe.

These Kentucky-based artists will present a wide variety of paintings from oil, acrylics, pastels and to watercolor, photographs and quilts. off ering themes in traditional landscapes and abstracts.

Plein-air artist Margie Lakeburg travels around the area gleaning subjects for her work.

“We are surrounded by beauty, history and good people. An artist can never run out of inspiration here,” said Lakeburg, a Boone County resident. She, along with about 14 other artists are happy to return to their easels and to the company of one another.

Fiber artist Linda Wittenburg has been incorporating her interest in painting with her pictorial art quilts.

Photographer, Josh Selm, also loves the beauty he sees in nature and capturing that fl eeting moment in time.

Linda Whittenburg, a fi ber artist for the past 30 years, has been experimenting with combining her pictorial art quilts with painting. Sue Ervin loves bright colors and nature as one will see in her painting, “Black on Red”. She demonstrated her sense of humor and love of critters with a giraff e painting for her sisters, titled “Three Sisters.”

Artist Ruthe Wyman enjoys colorful, textural, abstract painting with titles open to interpretation. Pat Buckley is inspired to paint Kentucky landscape during a visit to a rundown farm near Petersburg.

She said, “I loved the deep morning shadows, the look of the dilapidated buildings and the beauty of the wild fl owers.” You will also fi nd children presented in her works of art.

Multi-talented members Nan Burrows, Linda Lee Whaley and Barbara Winterberg will present numerous artworks in a variety of mediums.

The artists invite the public to attend its reception on July 11 from 1-4 p.m. at The Barn, located at 6980 Cambridge Ave., Mariemont, Ohio 45227.

Ways to keep kids entertained There is no doubt that we are all running out of ideas on how to keep our children entertained. This past year has been exceptionally challenging to fi nd ways to entertain kids, but even during normal summers, you are going to have Mason increased chances of hearing “I’m bored,” since your children no longer have schoolwork to keep them busy.

As parents, it can be a struggle to off er fun activities for our kids, so let them come up with some. Ask them See SCHOOL, Page 10B

SCHOOL NEWS Continued from Page 9B

to make a list of their favorite activities.

Presenting it as a challenge can help some children respond. Have them write their ideas on paper, so when they say, “I’m bored,” you can have them revisit the list to fi nd something to do.

Begin by helping them brainstorm activities by categories. For example, identify indoor activities, outdoor activities, activities by room, things to do solo or with friends/siblings, everyday events and seasonal activities, etc.

Another idea is to plan the week. Just like meal planning, develop a daily theme that is unique. Have your child go back through their activity list. Choose the exercises that excite them the most or see if a few will go together to fi ll an afternoon. For example, during a “Movement Monday” your kids could go on a treasure hunt, bike through the neighborhood or explore nature during a walk through the woods. Go on a story walk and pretend to be characters in the book. Are you pirates on the open sea searching for lost treasure, or maybe a mermaid searching for the perfect rock on which to soak up the sun and sing a song? Return home to read a book or perform a nature show that explores the natural world.

Older children can explore the many options for free activities and entertainment in the area. Maybe you can visit a smaller or historic town to discover new information or new opportunities.

There are some great places in Northern Kentucky to see. You may also set out on an adventure to visit and read the many historical markers around the area.

There is a database of all historical markers in Kentucky at https://history.ky.gov/resources/publications-databases/historical-marker-database/ We also have a rich river history. Another unique Boone County option is to visit the plane viewing area near the airport and then discuss or learn more about fl ight and the history of aviation (remember, the Wright Brothers grew up in Dayton, OH – not too far from here).

Don’t worry if the weather is not perfect. There are a ton of free things to do online to keep your kids entertained and engaged in learning while indoors.

Some websites with free, fun and educational content include PBS Kids, National Geographic Kids, Khan Academy and Smithsonian Institute. Your chil-

dren can even learn a new language for free through https://www.duolingo.com/. You can also fi nd websites like https://www.gonoodle.com/, which offers more than 300 dance and yoga videos to get kids moving.

Seda-Reeder is a curator who frequently highlights artists who operate in the social sphere and create objects and situations that encourage interaction and community engagement. RESIDUE focuses on works that invite us to co-create meaning and enter a dialogue with images in the galleries. The work done by artists in their studio is completed by thoughtful participation by the viewers. As such, that gesture is passed on from artist to patron and from patron out into the world.

“Maria is a smart and talented curator working so hard to provide opportunities for artists to build on their ideas and present new bodies of work,” said Carnegie Exhibitions Director, Matt Distel. “The Carnegie is always looking for ways to create a compelling environment for artists and guests alike. Working with Maria ensures that this will happen and I am so pleased to see this exhibition as the way that the galleries re-open from a long period of renovation and quarantine.”

Artists featured in RESIDUE include: Laura Aguilar (Long Beach, CA); Batres/ Gilvin (Morning View, KY); Latausha Cox (Cincinnati, OH); Sea Dax (Cincinnati); Aaron Delamatre (Cincinnati); EMPIRE CITIZENS (Latonia); Nona Faustine (Brooklyn); David Hammonds (Los Angeles); Clarity Haynes (New York City); Maggie Lawson, (Cincinnati); Liam Ze’ev O’Connor (Oakland); and Clint Woods (Cincinnati).

RESIDUE opens Thursday, June 17, 2021 and runs through Saturday, October 2. The Carnegie Gallery is free and open to the public. Gallery hours are Thursday-Saturday, noon-5pm or by appointment. Please email info@thecarnegie.com to schedule a visit outside of normal gallery hours or call The Carnegie at (859) 491-2030. For more information, please visit www.thecarnegie.com.
