NKY lawmaker wants to ban required immunizations Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Amid the global pandemic, a Northern Kentucky Republican lawmaker has launched an eff ort to ban state-mandated vaccines. As the nation awaits a COVID-19 vaccine, Rep. Savannah Maddox of Dry Ridge learned an existing Kentucky law could allow the state to require immunizations in an emergency epidemic situation. Maddox, who represents parts of Boone and Kenton County as well as all of Grant County, prefi led a bill to try and take that ability away. “It is not the appropriate role of government to force its citizens to receive a vaccine," Maddox told The Enquirer. "Kentuckians should have the ability to make that decision for themselves.” Since January, researchers have raced to develop a vaccine, which two-thirds of U.S. voters say they won't try to get as soon as it becomes available, according to a USA TODAY/Suff olk Poll. So far, 58,000 Kentuckians have caught COVID-19, just over 1,000 have died from it, and about 10,000 have recovered from it, according to the state's COVID-19 online dashboard. As of Friday, the positivity test rate was about 4%. Maddox's proposed bill would take away the Cabinet for Health and Family Services' option to require vaccinations "of all persons within the areas of epidemic(sic), against the disease responsible for such epidemic," according to the law. That option is only available with an emergency regulation, according to the law. There are no conversations taking place to mandate any vaccines, said Susan Dunlap, spokesperson for the Cabinet for Health and Family Services in an email to The Enquirer. Maddox's bill would not aff ect childhood vaccinations required by the state. Dunlap did not answer The Enquirer's repeated question about how the emergency regulation would be enacted. So, it is not clear what steps the state would take to require vaccinations. Gov. Andy Beshear also did not respond to The Enquirer's request for comment. Maddox, who is unopposed in the November election, received two co-sponsors for the bill: Reps. Mark Hart, R-Falmouth, and Richard White, R-Morehead. Virginia lawmakers tried to pass a similar bill to eliminate the state's ability to require immunizations during an epidemic. It failed in committee, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures website. Democratic Rep. Buddy Wheatley, who represents parts of Kenton County, told The Enquirer the Kentucky bill is a "reckless disregard" for the health and

safety of Kentuckians. He worried the state's poor health record would worsen if the state's immunization program was gone. Republican Rep. Kim Moser, R-Taylor Mill, told The Enquirer she's OK with the amendment Maddox proposed to strike the epidemic language from the law. Moser represents parts of Campbell and Kenton County and is the chair of the Health and Family Services Committee where the bill would be discussed. She added that there are current exemptions to vaccines that she believes will cover what Maddox wants to allow. Kentucky already accepts medical and religious exemptions for childhoodvaccines. "It's also important to educate folks about the importance of vaccines," Moser said. A vaccine is the best hope for ending the pandemic, according to the Mayo Clinic. A vaccine could be ready by summer or fall 2021, according to USA TODAY, al-

though federal offi cials have asked local health offi cials to be ready to administer one as early as Nov. 1. The federal government also revealed a plan Sept. 16 that will ensure vaccines for COVID-19 are available for free to all Americans. "We need a statutory change so people can make that decision themselves," Maddox told The Enquirer. USA Today contributed to this report.

Good news: Poverty fell last year Bad news: Pandemic likely wiped out gains Dan Horn Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Cincinnati region got some good news Sept. 17 when the latest U.S. Census estimates found fewer adults and children last year were living in poverty compared to ﬁ ve years ago. The bad news is those estimates don’t account for a global pandemic this year that plunged the nation into a recession and likely wiped out those gains. The region and the rest of the country will have to wait at least until next year to see the full extent of the economic damage. But the snapshot of 2019 poverty rates released Sept. 17 by the census, via its annual American Community Survey, shows Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky were trending in the right direction, though unevenly, as the economy continued a decade-long expansion. Hamilton County, the region’s most populous county, saw overall poverty fall from 16.6% in 2015 to 14.5% last year. Child poverty in Hamilton County dropped from 23.1% to 20.8% over the same period.

But the county ranked 23rd and 24th respectively for poverty and child poverty among the nation’s 137 counties with 500,000 residents or more, an Enquirer analysis of Census data showed. Clermont County and Boone County also experienced modest improvement, though child poverty, in particular, remained a stubborn problem. Clermont’s child poverty rate fell from 12.4% to 12.2% while Boone’s slipped from 10.3% to 9.9%. The biggest drop in child poverty was in Butler and Campbell counties, which both had rates of about 20% in 2015. By 2019, the census estimates found, Butler’s rate had fallen to 14.7% and Campbell’s to 12.5%. Despite the improvement, a total of more than 71,000 children and 224,000 adults still lived in poverty last year in Hamilton, Butler, Warren, Clermont, Boone, Kenton and Campbell counties. Nationwide, child poverty fell from 20.7% in 2015 to 14.4% last year. New child poverty estimates for cities, such as Cincinnati, also showed a downward trend, but the margin of error for those estimates was too high for the data to be considered reliable.

Poverty, especially child poverty, had continued to plague many communities in the region, including Cincinnati, despite the economic expansion. The Enquirer explored the problem of persistent poverty and those struggling to overcome it in a yearlong series in 2019. Advocacy groups said the 2019 national estimates indicate anti-poverty programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, helped lift millions of children out of poverty in recent years. They warned, however, that the collapse of the economy this year had hit those already struggling hard and threatened to undo the slow progress of the past decade. “The COVID-19 pandemic and its economic fallout likely have erased any real gains,” cautioned First Focus on Children, an advocacy group in Washington D.C. “The public health emergency and its economic fallout are causing outsized hardship for children and families.” Minorities are at the greatest risk. One in four Black children and one in ﬁ ve Hispanic children in America live in poverty, according to First Focus, compared to about one in 10 white children.

Football players who ran on ﬁ eld with Thin Blue/Red ﬂ ags get scholarships Kim Schupp Fox19

A Boone County program is off ering two Little Miami football players a scholarship after the two were temporarily suspended from the team for running a thin blue line and thin red line fl ag onto the fi eld. Holiday for Heroes off ered the scholarship to Brady Williams and Jarad Bentley who carried the fl ags to honor fi refi ghters and police offi cers on the 19th anniversary of 9/11 during their recent game against Turpin. The program said Williams is the son of a sheriff ’s deputy and Bentley is the son of a fi refi ghter. A spokesperson for Little Miami Schools says the players did ask for permission in advance to run with the "Thin Blue Line" and "Thin Red Line" fl ags but were told no. As a result, Williams and Bentley were suspended while the incident was investigated. The superintendent and high school administrators completed the investigation and returned the players to active status. “The results show that there were no political motivations behind this display of support for fi rst responders on 9/ 11, but there were stances of insubordination,” President of Little Miami Local Schools Board of Education Bobbie Grice said. Holiday for Heroes said the incident was turned into something that it was not intended to be and called the players true Patriots. "Brady and Jarad simply wanted to honor the lives of the fi rst responders lost during the terrorist attacks of 2001. "Brady and Jarad are true patriots, they did something last Friday that showed they are far beyond their years. These men stood up for a cause they believe in. As they took the fi eld with fl ags in hand it reminded us how we felt 19 years ago, heartbroken yet strong and united," they said. Holiday for Heroes chose Williams

Covington’s Amul Thapar high on Supreme Court list Andrew Wolfson Louisville Courier Journal USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Portions of this story are drawn from a 2018 Courier Journal profi le. The transplanted Kentuckian who is rumored to be near the top of President Donald Trump’s list to succeed Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg would be the fi rst Asian-American on the Supreme Court. Amul Thapar (uh-MALL Thuh-PAR) grew up in Toledo, Ohio, with his maternal grandfather, who fought with Mahatma Ghandi for India’s independence and impressed on young Amul how Gandhi had defeated an empire without shedding a drop of blood. University of Richmond law professor Carl Tobias, who studies federal judicial selections, said Friday that Thapar will be in the mix because Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has been a strong proponent and because he is conservative —McConnell recommended him for the district bench and the appellate court. But Tobias said Thapar is not well known by many people and has not had the kind of cases heard at the Supreme Court or the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia — the most common feeder for the high court. Thapar’s father, Raj, has said the family urged Amul to become a doctor, but he had only one dream — to become a justice on the Supreme Court of the United States. Now he may realized that dream. Thapar, 51, who sits on the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati, was one of four fi nalists to replace Anthony Kennedy when he retired in 2018, but Trump instead nominated Brett Kavanaugh. USA TODAY reported in 2018 Thapar has never written about abortion or other hot-button issues, which could make conservatives fearful. But the appellate court judge has railed against “politicians in robes” who substitute their views for the law, and has written that the three branches of governments should "stay in their lanes.” Writing earlier this year in the Michigan Law Review, USA TODAY said, Thapar denounced judges who “bend the law” to meet their own goals and ignore the text of statutes and the Constitution to achieve an “equitable outcome.” If he is nominated and confi rmed to the high court, his rise would be meteoric. Those on the right may question whether he will be reliably conservative or if would be the next David Souter, a Republican appointee who reliably voted with the court’s liberal members for 19 years until he retired in June 2009. But Thapar’s father told The Courier Journal for a 2018 profi le his son is so conservative he “nearly wouldn’t speak to me after I voted for Barack” Obama. And Thapar is a darling of the Federalist Society, the

conservative intellectual group that believes the Constitution should be interpreted as it was written. The organization helped assemble a list of 25 potential nominees for Trump four years ago to which the president added 20 more names earlier this month. Although Thapar was attacked by liberal advocacy groups as a “far-right judge” when he was considered for the Kennedy vacancy, progressive lawyers in Eastern Kentucky came to his defense. Attorney Ned Pillersdorf, who practices in Prestonsburg, said Thapar has been a fair and decent-minded judge. Added Beverly Storm, who practices in Boone County, told The Courier Journal, “He is not a caveman.” Kent Wicker, a Harvard Law classmate of Michelle Obama, told The Courier Journal in 2018 that he had tried two cases before Thapar and couldn’t tell what his politics were. “He is just interested in getting to the right answer,” Wicker said. Thapar has been willing to rule for criminal defendants and against the government. In April 2018, he joined with two other judges on the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals to affi rm the suppression of evidence against a methamphetamine dealer because the police in a warrant application said they would search his house only if he personally took delivery of a suspicious package. Instead, it was delivered to his fi ancée and police searched the home anyway. As a trial judge, he also ruled against the Social Security Administration in favor of former clients of Eric Conn who lost their disability benefi ts after he was accused of obtaining them through fraud. Thapar wrote that they had been aff orded fewer rights by the govern-

ment than a “member of Al Qaeda” and gave them another crack at benefi t restoration. Still, Thapar is an undeniably tough jurist. “Above the Law,” an irreverent legal blog, once described him as a “guy who doesn’t f**k around.” As a U.S. district judge for the Eastern District of Kentucky, he sentenced an 84-year-old Roman Catholic nun to prison for 35 months for breaking into a uranium enrichment plant and defacing it by splashing a storage bunker with human blood. He sent another woman to prison for 18 years for helping her jailed daughter get drugs that killed her. And despite uncontradicted evidence that a 70year-old inmate was developmentally disabled, Thapar refused to allow him to reopen his case. An appellate panel reversed him, saying the inmate, described as having the mental capacity of a 2-to-5-year-old child, lacked ability to “monitor the assistance he had been given in even the most basic ways.” In another opinion, he upheld the right of Cleveland-based paint giant Sherwin-Williams to fi re an employee who could no longer drive because a stroke had robbed him of peripheral vision. “Specialty retailers need to forge strong, in-person bonds with customers,” Thapar wrote. “That is what Sherwin-Williams, a specialty paint retailer, tries to do. Hence it requires store managers not only to oversee store operations, but also to visit off -site locations to make deliveries, conduct sales calls, identify potential customers, and generally provide face-to-face customer service. And in rural areas like Pikeville, Kentucky, that means driving.” As a high schooler in Dayton, Amul Thapar got straight A’s, was chess champion and captain of the golf team his father Raj said. The family was culturally Hindu but not devout. He went on to Boston College, where he studied economics and philosophy and read Aristotle and Dostoyevsky before earning his law degree at University of California at Berkeley’s Boalt Hall. Thapar never sought political offi ce but became involved in local Republican politics in Northern Kentucky in the early 2000s, which allowed him to meet his mentor, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and then-U.S. Sen. Jim Bunning. Both were instrumental in his appointment by President George W. Bush as U.S. attorney and judge. The Courier Journal wrote in a 2018 profi le that Thapar was married to Kim Schulte, a real estate agent who comes from a large Catholic family, and the they live in Covington. Thapar converted to Catholicism when they were wed, his father said. They have three children who attended Catholic schools and the family had been regulars at St. Pius X Catholic Church in Kenton County, the profi le said.

VIEWPOINTS Allworth Advice: Have you ever considered a ‘phased’ retirement?

Simply Money Nathan Bachrach and Amy Wagner Guest Columnists

Question: Paul from Alexandria: What are your thoughts about “easing in” to retirement? I think it sounds preferable to quitting work cold turkey, but I’m not sure the best way to go about it. A: A ‘phased’ retirement – which simply means gradually reducing your work hours – can be a great way to carefully transition from work into the new chapter of your life. But there are defi nitely some things you’ll want to think about (and research) before going this route. Assuming you work for an employer, one of the biggest questions you need to address is: Will your company even allow it? Because according to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), it’s not very common – as of 2017, only about six percent of employers off er a formal phased retirement program. So, check with your HR Department. If it’s not off ered, you’ll likely have to take matters into your own hands and talk to your boss (SHRM says informal or ad hoc programs are a little more common). Be specifi c about what you’re thinking (How many days will you work? What do you envision your role to look like? What pay are you expecting?) and be sure to illustrate why it’s worthwhile and valuable for the company to keep you on as part of the team. Also, can you stay on the company healthcare plan during this transition? The number of hours you work may determine this. And once you reach age 65, your Medicare coverage depends on the

size of your company: If it employs less than 20 people, you generally have to sign-up for Medicare; if the company is bigger, then you can choose to stay on the company plan and delay Medicare. And, of course, what’s your fi nancial situation look like? Fewer hours means a smaller paycheck. This could have a potential impact on your current lifestyle and create less of an opportunity to save for your full-time retirement. On the other hand, a paycheck is still a paycheck – and this income stream could allow you to leave your retirement savings untouched for a little while longer. Social Security is a consideration as well; if you’re younger than your Full Retirement Age and simultaneously claiming your benefi t while working, your benefi t could be reduced. Here’s the Allworth Advice: There are a lot of moving parts to implementing a phased retirement. Be sure you think through all the ramifi cations before following through. Q: Anne in Boone County: Is it possible to stop Social Security payments? I started claiming when I retired at 62, but now I’m 65 and just started working again. A: Yes, it is possible to voluntarily suspend Social Security benefi ts once you’ve started claiming – but you can only do so if you’ve already reached your Full Retirement Age (FRA) and are also still younger than 70. The Social Security Administration will then automatically restart your payments once you reach age 70. During the suspension, your benefi t will earn annual delayed credits resulting in a higher monthly payment once benefi ts resume. It’s important to note that if anyone receives a benefi t based on your work record and you decide to suspend, that person’s benefi t will also be suspended (the one exception is a divorced spouse). To suspend your benefi t, contact the

Social Security Administration either by phone (800-772-1213) or in writing. Or, when offi ces eventually open back up, you could do so in-person as well. The Allworth Advice is that Social Security is one of the more complex parts of retirement planning. Just one decision could have reverberating effects for years to come. A fi duciary fi nancial advisor can help you determine if suspending your benefi t is truly your best course of action.

Butlers Pantry is the ﬁ rst step of RiverCenter’s makeover

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2020

Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Can you imagine yourself hanging out all night at RiverCenter Covington? That’s the vision for the team in charge of its revitalization. The newly opened Butler’s Pantry Market and Café are just the fi rst steps in a vision for RiverCenter as the next Greater Cincinnati "destination,” akin to The Banks, Over-the-Rhine or Mainstrasse. The reimagining of RiverCenter is being led in part by Y’all Hospitality's Mitch Arens, a Northern Kentucky native with an “arsenal” of ideas. Butler’s Pantry Market opened with a focus on grab-and-go items for the COVID-19 era. There’s a coffee counter, fresh baked goods, grocery items and a sandwich area. Just across the hall is the Café, with an indoor and outdoor space that serves breakfast, lunch and brunch. “It’s a big picture concept. We’re trying to make RiverCenter a destination,” Arens said. When people talk about going to Mainstrasse, OTR or The Banks, Arens said he wants RiverCenter to be a part of that conversation. They’ve got a lot to work with. Hundreds of nearby parking spots, a patio space that fi ts nearly 80 people socially distanced and easy access to the Riverwalk. Next up for Arens is the reimagining of Fire, which closed in March. It was a planned closure that was sped up by the pandemic. In Fire’s place will be Whiskey Thief, a southern and bourbon infl uenced restaurant with a tapas-style menu. Arens said they want to give guests a “real Kentucky experience” when they visit. “I’ve got a pocketful of concepts I’ve been working on for 20 years. Any great chef has got an arsenal of dream concepts they’ve wanted to do,” Arens said. “It’s just fi nding the right ones that make sense for this space. Making sure we have enough variety and you’re not overlapping or competing too tightly with people who are around you. And just really seeing the needs.” Arens wants an outdoor coff ee cart near the Riverwalk for those who want something quick. For the lunch crowd, they want to develop a Latin street food

Butler's Pantry in Covington offers a coffee bar, sit down restaurant, outdoor patio, bakery and store with everyday items from local purveyors like milk, eggs, coffee and fresh produce. They also offer sandwiches, salads and an outdoor grill for food to grab on the go. PHIL DIDION

concept similar to a Chipotle but with a more authentic menu. Then there's the sports bar, with lots of televisions, local beers and wood-ﬁ red pizza. It doesn’t stop there. In the future, expect to see more entertainment programming and green space. “In order for this to be a destination, we need more than just food,” Arens said. This summer, they planned an outdoor concert series in the parking lot across the street but COVID-19 stopped that. Arens said they plan to do the series next year. “I see it as a destination, I see people hanging out listening to live music, enjoying great food and I see this being a spot where you can go place to place and try diﬀ erent drinks and foods,” Arens said. “There’s a big push to make Covington cool again,” Arens said.

He said there’s a big sense of community and collaboration, with “a lot of really great people doing great things.” Arens left the city for eight years and watched it grow from a distance as he worked as a chef. “This city changed a lot while I was gone. Being a part of the growth on the Kentucky side has been the goal since day one,” Arens said.

Have an abundance of tomatoes? Try roasted spicy tomato jam Roasted spicy tomato jam Different from tomato preserves, this is a sticky, sweet/hot/spicy jam perfect for spooning over soft cheese, mixed into mayo for a sandwich, or dolloped on shakshuka, scrambled eggs or omelets. Oh, and it’s nice in a tiny bowl on a charcuterie platter. And need I say it’s a perfect gourmet gift? I used all kinds of garden tomatoes. Any kind, as long as it’s real ripe, will do. Yield: About 6 cups Ingredients 5 pounds really ripe tomatoes, cored but not peeled, cut up very small 3 cups sugar or to taste ⁄ 2 cup lemon juice (can use half lime and lemon)

1 generous tablespoon grated ginger or ginger paste or more to taste 1 teaspoon cinnamon or more to taste ⁄ 2 teaspoon ground cloves

1 tablespoon salt 2-3 teaspoons red pepper flakes, to taste, or mashed chipotle peppers in adobo to taste (go easy here at ﬁ rst) 1 teaspoon ground coriander (optional but good) Instructions Mix everything together well. Preheat oven to 350. Pour into sprayed shallow baking pan. You can use one large roaster or a couple or so of 9x13’s.

Roasted spicy tomato jam. RITA HEIKENFELD/FOR THE ENQUIRER

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

Well, this is the ﬁ rst year that I’ve almost run out of ways to use tomatoes. Are you in the same boat? Regardless of the way the plants/leaves look, most of us have had a bumper crop. I’ve preserved more tomatoes this year than I ever have in the past. From freezing tomatoes (I have a vacuum sealer now and just love it), both cherry and regular

without blanching, to roasting with and without seasoning, to making pasta sauces, and ﬁ nally, to making tomato jam. Apparently you’ve been blessed with lots of tomatoes, too, so I guess that’s why the requests for this popular tomato jam have been coming in. This year, though, I wound up making the jam a bit diﬀ erent. Instead of stovetop and slow cooker, I roasted the jam in the oven. I didn’t have to fuss with it too much. Winner, winner! The great thing about this jam is you need really ripe tomatoes and any kind will do. This is where cracked, slightly bruised or “not perfect” tomatoes come in. Cut out the bad parts and you’re good to go. Here’s my updated recipe for tomato jam.

Roast, uncovered, stirring about every 30 minutes to redistribute juices as they reduce. Keep roasting and checking until the jam starts to jell and looks real sticky. This took about 2 or so hours in my oven. It may take less or longer in yours depending on the juiciness of the tomatoes and the pan size. Test by spooning a little on a plate. Let cool a bit and run your ﬁ nger through it. It should hold a path. Remove, let cool and adjust seasonings. Place into containers and cover. Refrigerate up to 6 months or so. For a pantry stable jam, pour into sterilized jars and process in boiling water bath. Check my abouteating.com site for instructions.

Area talent tops Big 10 football preview Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Big Ten is offi cially back after the conference recently decided on an eight-game regular-season beginning in October. It’s no secret the Big 10 is fi lled with quality quarterbacks, a group highlighted by Ohio State University signal-caller Justin Fields, who is expected to be a top fi rst-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and is one of the favorites to win this year’s Heisman Trophy. Fields is the top returning player in the conference, according to Pro Football Focus. But PFF also lists Elder High School alum Peyton Ramsey and Ryle High School product Tanner Morgan as the No. 2 and No. 3 players, respectively in the Big 10 this fall. In 2019, Morgan had the highest single-game passing grade for a quarterback against a Power 5 school when he completed 18-of-20 passes for 339 yards and three touchdowns in a 31-26 victory over Penn State. In PFF’s fi nal college football starting quarterback rankings of the season, Morgan ranked No. 7 in the nation. The redshirt sophomore fi nished with a single-season school record 3,252 yards and 30 touchdowns, leading the Golden Gophers to an 11-2 season and a 31-24 victory over Auburn in the Outback Bowl. As a senior at Ryle, Morgan threw for 2,747 yards and 27 touchdowns, leading the Raiders to a 12-1 record and an appearance in the Class 6A state quarterfi nals. Morgan was a fi nalist for Kentucky’s Mr. Football award. Ramsey, who transferred to Northwestern in March, helped lead Indiana to an 8-5 record with 2,454 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2019. The tandem of Michael Penix Jr. and Ramsey was ranked 12th in the country by Pro Football Focus. At Elder, Ramsey was twice named the Greater Catholic League-South Player of the Year and led the Panthers to three consecutive postseason appearances.

KHSAA alters volleyball tournament for 2020 Alex Harrison Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

In a Sept. 16 board meeting, the Kentucky High School Athletic Association voted unanimously to add a semi-state round to its postseason volleyball tournament. The KHSAA volleyball tournament had featured a 16-team bracket all played at a single site over a weekend. The semi-state round was implemented to cut in half the number of teams playing in a single location. Teams in Regions 1-8 and Regions 916 will conduct a blind draw to decide on semi-state round opponents. Competition for the 2020 season began on Sept. 7. The state tournament was scheduled to begin on Friday, Nov. 6, and end on Sunday, Nov. 8, at Valley High School in Louisville. Campbell County and Notre Dame Academy reached the state tournament in 2019 with Notre Dame Academy advancing to the semiﬁ nals where it lost to eventual champion Assumption. The round was approved only for use in the 2020 season.

A new and delayed season has caused many adjustments for high school football teams in Northern Kentucky. Everything about practice and preparing for games has been diff erent this summer as the season began Sept. 11. “Keeping them motivated,” Ryle head coach Mike Engler said of challenges. “The last three weeks have been easy because they know they’re going to play, but it’s still been a roller coaster. There has been a lot of ‘Are we going to play, is the governor going to override everything?’ They’ve been thinking about all the bad things that can happen.” “We talk about controlling what we can control,” Newport Central Catholic head coach Steve Lickert said. “We control our work ethic, preparing to play, and our attitude. We control what we do outside of football, not going out and doing things that put you at risk. And our guys understand that. They understand if they want to play football, they have to make sacrifi ces socially.” One big change football coaches have had to deal with is the games they are playing. With the season delayed by three weeks and shortened to nine regular-season games, plus the regular season shortened to six games in Ohio, every Northern Kentucky team had to rearrange its 2020 slate in a hurry. The changes have resulted in some match-ups that area fans haven’t seen in awhile and some powerful outof-town programs visiting the region. Here is a look at some of the remaiing top, non-district games in Northern Kentucky this year. Some of them are longstanding rivalries, others are intriguing match-ups stitched together at the last minute. Johnson Central at Simon Kenton (Sept. 25): The reigning 4A state champions travel to Independence after beating the Pioneers 49-11 last year during their perfect 15-0 season. JC’s powerful rushing attack averaged over 300 yards per game in 2019. Boyle County at Highlands (Sept. 25): While Johnson Central is in Independence, the team it beat in the 4A state fi nal will be in Fort Thomas to renew a former fi erce playoff rivalry. Boyle fi nished 14-1 last year, losing 2120 to Johnson Central. Ryle at Beechwood (Sept. 25): A last-minute addition for these two perennially successful programs, who have not met since 1998, when Beechwood won 27-22 at Nippert Stadium. Pikeville at Campbell County (Oct. 2): The reigning 1A state champions will travel 200 miles from eastern Kentucky to take on the 6A Camels, who were 0-1 against 1A teams last year, falling 29-13 to Newport Central Catholic. Beechwood at Newport Central Catholic (Oct. 30): Normally, it’s the traditional regular-season fi nale for both teams. But with a week added Nov. 6, it is the second-last game for both teams and still a key test for both rivals as they get ready for their separate playoff brackets, NCC in 1A and Beechwood in 2A. NewCath won 17-14 last year in Fort Mitchell. Covington Catholic at Simon Kenton (Oct. 30): A last-minute addition, two of Northern Kentucky’s most decorated programs of the last decade will meet for the fi rst time since 2004 when CovCath won 38-0. CovCath was 101-34 in the 2010s with two state championships, while SK was 97-32. Moeller at Highlands (Oct. 30): Under Ohio’s altered format, with a shortened regular season and expandSee SCHEDULES, Page 2B

ed playoff s, this game will only happen if Moeller is eliminated from the playoff s by then. The fourth round of the OHSAA bracket takes place that weekend. Highlands is 0-3 all-time against the Crusaders. The last meeting was a 21-20 Moeller win in 1997 during Jared Lorenzen’s junior year, the Bluebirds’ last loss until the epic Mud Bowl playoff defeat that season to CovCath. Cooper at Ryle (Oct. 30), Ryle at Conner (Nov. 6): The Raiders had to move these games with their fi erce county rivals to the end of the season. Ryle is 6A while the other two are 5A. Boone County at Walton-Verona (Nov. 6): Another match-up improvised because of the pandemic, the Bearcats will get their fi rst crack at one of their larger county rivals since losing to Cooper in 2008, their debut season. Covington Catholic at Lexington Catholic (Nov. 6): Michael Mayer and Beau Allen have left for Notre Dame and UK, respectively, after their epic meeting last year in a 39-38 Colonels win. But two of Kentucky’s most successful programs should have a great tune-up for their playoff runs. LexCath is a 4A school.

Northern Kentucky Extension agents receive national awards Family and Consumer Sciences Extension Agents work every day to improve the lives of Kentucky residents. We help individuals and families in the areas of resource management; food nutrition and health; home environment; leadership and community development; and family life and aging. We answer questions, teach classes, coordinate and organize workshops, advise our volunteer groups of Extension Homemakers, and disseminate research-based information. Every day is diﬀ erent and exciting. Eleven Family and Consumer Sciences agents in the eight county northern Kentucky area recently received recognition for two of their educational workshops at the National Extension Association for Family and Consumers Sciences’ annual conference. More than 900 Extension professionals attended the virtual conference to gain knowledge and gather programming ideas. A ﬁ rst place Innovation in Programming and second place Food Safety award were received for “Mystery

Dinner: The Uninvited Guest.” This program focused on home food safety practices during a three-hour interactive workshop held with more than 150 attendees. Extension partnered with the Northern Kentucky District and Three Rivers Health Departments to conduct the event. Participants learned about storing food, cleaning hands and surfaces, thermometer use, and product dates while working to solve a fi ctitious foodborne illness outbreak. Evaluations from the event revealed attendees changed their habits and practices as a result of what they learned. Many now date food prior to storing, use a food thermometer to check to ensure food is properly cooked, store foods properly in their refrigerators, and now adequately wash their hands. Foodborne illness can be costly and have long term eff ects on the body. A workshop was conducted at the national conference to share information about the “Mystery Dinner” program so others across the country might off er something similar. A second place award in Extension Housing Outreach was received for the “Healthy Horticulture for

Every Body” workshop. The Family and Consumer Sciences agents partnered with area Extension Horticulture agents to provide information on gardening, growing herbs, indoor plants, planting in adaptive containers, and pollinators. The keynote speaker provided information on the emotional, mental and physical benefi ts of gardening. This workshop led individuals to improve their home environments, increase their involvement in gardening, and look to gardening to reduce stress. Cooperative Extension agents across the state and nation have adapted to the challenges of work during the pandemic. Many classes are now off ered virtually or as a hybrid with small in-person audiences and live streaming. We continue to answer inquiries, provide printed documents, and work to keep those living in and visiting our area stay healthy and well. Look for our program list on our website (boone.ca.uky.edu) or call our offi ce (859-586-6101) for information.

SCHOOL NEWS Florence Elementary honored 9-11 The memories of 9-11-01 will last forever, the day our nation was attacked. For the past 19 years this event has made American stronger. Today (Sept. 11, 2020) we are facing a worldwide pandemic that will one day be just a memory of the days gone by, but today we have to continue to be American Strong, Kentucky Strong, and Knight Strong (Florence Elementary Knights)! The administrators at Florence Elementary gathered to remember this moment in history proclaiming, “United We Stand, Divided We Fall.” Today (Sept. 11), Florence Elementary may not hear the echoes of laughter, students moving through the hallways, or students on the playground but soon the doors will be open to gather again as family.

The production is dedicated in loving memory to Ally Davis (Little Buttercup), who tragically passed away this past July.

The gentlemanly Captain Corcoran has a daughter, Josephine, who is in love with a lowly but gallant sailor named Ralph Rackstraw. Meanwhile, the Captain’s former nanny, Little Buttercup, falls in love with him, but he hesitates to reciprocate due to his higher social rank. The whole situation is turned on its head when Little Buttercup reveals a game-changing secret she has kept for decades. H.M.S.

PROJECT: Meter Reading System Replacement SEALED BID PROPOSALS WILL BE RECEIVED AT: Northern Kentucky Water District 2835 Crescent Springs Rd. P.O. Box 18640 Erlanger, Kentucky 41018 UNTIL: Date: October 8, 2020 Time: 2:00 p.m., local time At said place and time, and promptly thereafter, all Bid Proposals that have been duly received will be publicly opened and read aloud. Entities on the registered list of planholders will be sent a link to attend the virtual bid opening. The public may access the virtual bid opening by calling Barry Miller at (859) 393-9435 to get the meeting number and password. The proposed services are generally described as follows: Provide and install all required equipment, licenses, hardware, and software to implement a system-wide meter reading system to replace the existing Automated Meter Reading (AMR) system for the Northern Kentucky Water District (District) and the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system for the City of Florence (City) (and referred to individually as “Owner” and collectively as “Owners”) to record and transmit meter readings for all of the Owners’ customers. The system must be a radio frequency based system employing mobile radio, fixed radio, cellular, or a combination of these technologies. Services will include installation, training, and post-installation support. A bidder may submit bids for multiple meter reading systems. For example, a bidder may submit a bid for a mobile system, for a fixed system, and for a hybrid system. The Bidder’s bid must include a deployment plan that demonstrates compliance with the requirements as defined in the Technical Specifications section. The District has approximately 85,500 water service meters. The majority of these are read quarterly using a Badger mobile AMR system. Meters consist primarily of Badger Recordall and Neptune T10 models, but also include Badger eSeries, Master Meter Octave, Neptune Mach10, Zenner, Sensus SRII, and AMCO models. The current meter interface units (Badger model CE) are no longer manufactured by the vendor. Therefore, the District desires to replace its existing AMR system by implementing a utility-wide meter reading system, to be deployed over a period of 24 months. The City currently has approximately 8,775 water meters, which are read using a Mueller AMI system. Through this procurement, the City intends to replace the existing AMI with a new AMI meter reading system which will provide enhanced reliability and functionality. The City’s deployment is expected to be completed over a period of 12 months. All Bids must be in accordance with the Bidding Documents. Copies of the Bidding Documents may be obtained by contacting Denise Manning at (859) 426-2718. There is no charge for these documents.
