‘Just do what we can. That’s all we can do’

Anderson Ferry ﬂ oats on during bridge closure Quinlan Bentley Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

On a clear, calm Thursday afternoon, Captain John James guides the Boone No. 9 back and forth across the murkygreen Ohio River. James makes about nine trips every hour in the diesel-fueled ferryboat, carrying passengers from his hometown of Constance, Kentucky to the banks of Delhi Township. "A day like this, it's a beautiful day. You couldn't ask for better than this," said James, who's been working for Anderson Ferry on and off for about 36 years. An early afternoon usually sees about three or four cars board the ferry at a time, he said. But with the Brent Spence Bridge under repair, the ferry is transporting as many as 15 cars each trip. That's the maximum number of passengers able to fi t on the Boone No. 9, Anderson Ferry's largest ferryboat, according to James. "Right now, you can come at any time during the day and be lined up to the highway," he said. The Brent Spence Bridge has been closed since Nov. 11, after a truck hauling potassium hydroxide and diesel fuel crashed into a jackknifed truck, causing a fi re. And the closure of one of the region's busiest transportation arteries has forced hundreds of thousands of Cincinnati-area drivers to search for a diff erent route across the river. And many drivers are choosing to take the ferry, once again turning the 200-year-old West Side mainstay into an interstate thoroughfare. Anderson Ferry usually transports anywhere from 400 to 500 cars per day, but since the bridge closure, that number has jumped to as many as 1,000 cars per day. James said it's typical for business to pick up when any major interstate is under construction. "We have a lot of people that occasionally use the ferryboat when the traffi c is as bad as it is," he said. "When you have a major problem on the highway and you happen to be out in, say, Erlanger and you know there's a wreck on the bridge, it's just a short trip from Erlang-

er to the ferry." Brandon Ingram, who's worked for the past six years as a deckhand for Anderson Ferry, said he remembers it be-

ing busier when the Brent Spence Bridge was undergoing maintenance in 2017. But this is a close second, he added.

"I've seen the cars backed up a lot worse than they get now. The downfall is we are not a bridge," James said, adding that some people have grown frustrated by the longer than usual wait times. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has said the goal is to have the bridge back open before Christmas on Dec. 23. So, passengers on Anderson Ferry could be stuck with a longer wait for at least another month. “We’ll just do what we can. That’s all we can do,” Anderson Ferry Owner Paul Anderson told The Enquirer. “Eventually everything will be back to normal when the bridge and the pandemic work out, and everybody will have a smile on their face.” But James, who's looking to retire in May, said he's undaunted by the recent inﬂ ux of passengers. "Whether it's one car or 15 cars, my job stays pretty much the same."

The popular Netﬂ ix series “The Queen’s Gambit,” starring Anya TaylorJoy as chess prodigy Beth Harmon, has renewed attention on the 1983 novel by the late Kentucky author Walter Tevis on which the show is based. “The Queen’s Gambit” tells the ﬁ ctional story of an orphan who struggles with drugs and alcohol as she strives to become the world’s greatest chess player. The novel was one of the last in Tevis’

distinguished writing career. He was living in Erlanger and teaching English and creative writing at the University of Kentucky’s branch campus in Covington (before it broke off as Northern Kentucky University) in 1959 when he sold his fi rst novel, “The Hustler,” about pool hustler Fast Eddie. The novel was made into the 1961 fi lm starring Paul Newman and Jackie Gleason. Tevis, who was born in San Francisco, moved to Lexington when he was 10 and learned to play pool with a friend who had his own pool table at home. See AUTHOR, Page 2A

Winter Nights, River Lights almost didn’t happen this year, according to organizers. “For the past three years, we have been spending about $10,000 each year for lights on the bridge and other holiday-related expenses,” said Jack Moreland, chairman of the board of directors of the Newport Southbank Bridge Company, owner and operator of the Purple People Bridge. Moreland said like many nonproﬁ t organizations, they had been struggling due to lost event rent during the pandemic. The board decided it

“didn’t have suﬃ cient funds to pay for the holiday decorations on the bridge this year.” Moreland said North American Properties, the local real estate ﬁ rm behind the redevelopment of Newport on the Levee, took action and said they would secure the funding needed for the annual Christmas tradition. “We’re grateful we were able to raise the funds we needed to light the bridge,” Moreland said. “North American Properties and the companies and organizations who stepped up this year to support the bridge are our Santa Clauses this Christmas season.”

A Mexican restaurant in Florence, Kentucky, caught fi re Saturday morning, causing severe structural damage, offi cials said at the scene. Emergency responders with the Florence Fire Department received a call at 9:53 a.m. regarding a fi re at Acapulco Mexican Restaurant and Cantina at 7484 Turfway Rd., said Fire Chief Scott

Knoll. Firefi ghters arrived four minutes later to fi nd the entire inside of the building engulfed in fl ames. The restaurant's entire roof collapsed as a result of the blaze, he said. There were employees in the kitchen prepping for the lunch rush when the fi re broke out, but they were quickly evacuated and no injuries have been reported, he said. It was unknown how the fi re started when this article was originally published.

“Every day after school he and his friend played pool until they were ready to drop, and then frequently played chess afterwards for relaxation,” The Enquirer wrote in a 1959 feature on Tevis. With the success of “The Hustler,” Tevis left teaching in order to write. His science-fi ction novel “The Man Who Fell to Earth,” published in 1963, and was made into the 1976 fi lm starring David Bowie. Tevis taught at Ohio University for several years, then returned to novel writing in the early 1980s when he published “The Queen’s Gambit,” and the “Hustler” sequel, “The Color of Money,” which was adapted by Martin Scorsese in his 1986 fi lm with Newman and Tom Cruise. Tevis died in 1984 just after “The Color of Money” was published. He is buried in Richmond, Kentucky.

Sixth Circuit backs Beshear's decision to halt all in-person classes Quinlan Bentley

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Sunday that Gov. Andy Beshear's executive order to cease all in-person school instruction in Kentucky can stand. This includes the instruction provided by religious schools. This latest decision overrules U.S. District Judge Gregory Van Tatenhove's preliminary injunction issued Nov. 25 that allowed parochial schools to continue classes. The Diocese of Covington schools had announced Saturday that in-person classes would resume Dec. 2. That return is now unlikely following Sunday's ruling by the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Diocese of Covington has yet to release a statement regarding the ruling and oﬃ cials didn't immediately respond to the Enquirer's request for comment. Under Beshear's executive order, middle schools and high schools will remain remote through the end of the semester in January. Elementary schools may reopen Dec. 7 if their county is not in the red zone and the school follows healthy at-school guidance. As of Sunday, all four Northern Kentucky counties are in the red zone. In the past three weeks, six of the diocese's 37 schools had to temporarily cease in-person instruction, McGuire wrote in a letter to parents on Saturday. Three of those schools lacked an adequate number of substitute teachers and the other three experienced an increase in the number of students in quarantine, she added. "Sadly, some of our school cases and quarantines could have been avoided if all of our families would have followed the protocols. Since we all truly desire to sustain in-person instruction then we must recommit ourselves to the protocols," McGuire wrote. But the morning after Beshear's order, the diocese recorded zero positive cases of COVID-19 among students and staﬀ in 24 of its schools, she wrote. The diocese has been urging parents to keep children home from school if anyone in the household is experiencing symptoms of or has been exposed to COVID-19. Attending or hosting gatherings is also discouraged. Kentucky reported 2,437 new coronavirus cases and 14 new deaths on Saturday.

NKY restaurant pledges to stay open despite COVID-19 restrictions Chris Mayhew

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included reﬂ ects this article’s original publication date – Nov. 25. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates. A Northern Kentucky restaurant that previously fought Kentucky limits on indoor dining in the courts pledged Nov. 24 to keep serving seated diners despite new COVID-19 restrictions. Beans Cafe & Bakery of Hebron and Dry Ridge said in a Facebook post that the Northern Kentucky Health Department has suspended the restaurant's license to serve food over not following the governor's executive orders. Boone, Campbell, Grant and Kenton counties are all listed as red zone counties by Kentucky, indicating a critical level of coronavirus spread in those communities. The restaurant pledged in the post to stay open until it is proven in the courts that it is lawful for the health department to suspend the license. Beans told patrons in the post: "Thanks for your continued patronage and support while we ﬁ ght for our constitutional right to earn a living." The restaurant has refused to shut down indoor dining after Gov. Andy Beshear ordered closures over COVID-19. Beshear shut down indoor dining through Dec. 13 to stop the continued spread of the new coronavirus.

Beshear's order allowed restaurants to continue delivery, to go, and outdoor services. Beans has an active legal defense fundraising effort on GoFundMe that had raised $3,620 as of Nov. 25. The Beans Cafe website promotes the GoFundMe with a message from the restaurant's owner Richard Hayhoe. Hayhoe called the orders from Beshear's offi ce "suff ocating." "The irony of seating people inside a tent that is outside is not lost on the common sense of regular thinking but that is the ridiculousness of the rules we must follow," Hayhoe said on the Beans website. "We will be keeping our dining room open until such time that we have exhausted every legal avenue to defend the business against these unlawful guidelines." Beans was among Northern Kentucky businesses that challenged prior Kentucky coronavirus orders in court. The lawsuit named the health department among the defendants. In early November, The Kentucky Supreme Court upheld Beshear's authority to issue orders to slow the spread of COVID-19, according to a Courier-Journal article. Beans Cafe, Florence Speedway and Little Links to Learning daycare in Fort Wright are also all part of a class-action lawsuit in Boone Circuit Court fi led against the health department that still seeks an injunction and punitive damages.

Kroger again caps toilet paper limits Alexander Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Kroger says it has capped the purchase of some household staples at two per customer for toilet paper and other items as COVID-19 cases and jitters over new potential stay-at-home orders climb. The Cincinnnati-based supermarket operator – the nation’s largest – said it implemented limits early this week to be proactive, adding it hasn’t seen a jump in demand for key staples including paper towels, disinfecting wipes and hand soap. The company said there hasn’t been any diﬃ culties with supply either. “To ensure all customers have access to what they need, we’ve proactively and temporarily set purchase limits to two per customer on certain products,” Krog-

er said in a statement. The limits apply in-store as well as to e-commerce orders. Besides Kroger stores, the grocer operates several regional supermarket chains in 35 states, including Fred Meyer, Harris Teeter, Ralphs, Mariano’s, Fry’s, Smith’s, King Soopers, QFC and others. The company has nearly 2,800 stores and employs more than 500,000 workers. While Kroger sales have jumped during the pandemic as consumers shifted their eating habits away from restaurants, the company struggled to keep some items stocked on shelves as customers hoarded some items like toilet paper during early stay-athome orders in various states, including Ohio and Kentucky.

VIEWPOINTS Borrowed money from your 401(k) during the pandemic? What to consider Allworth Advice Nathan Bachrach and Amy Wagner

Question: CB. from Boone County: I took money out of my 401(k) a few months ago to help pay some bills (my wife and I were both furloughed due to coronavirus). We’re both back to work now and I want to put that money back into my 401(k). Is there any particular way I need to go about doing this? A: We’re glad to hear that you and your wife are back on your feet. And we’re also glad to hear that you’re determined to replace the money you withdrew – because that money, ultimately, should be used for retirement. The CARES Act, passed back in March, made it easier for those fi nancially impacted by the pandemic to take money from their 401(k). But the big question is whether you took a 401(k) withdrawal… or a 401(k) loan. If you took a withdrawal, you can recover any taxes you paid on it as long as you replace the money within three years. If you took out a loan, you won’t owe income tax if it’s paid off in fi ve years. (In either case, double check with your plan provider about all the details – the new provisions in the CARES Act were optional for providers to adopt.) As for how and when to put that money back into your 401(k), you have two options: Replace it all at one time in the form of a lump sum, or try a tactic called dollar-cost averaging. W hich route you take depends on how

much you took out to begin with and if you emotionally react to market movements. Ideally, you should try to replace the money as soon as possible. But that’s not always fi nancially feasible, and some people can get nervous putting a chunk of money into the market in one fell swoop. That’s why dollarcost averaging can be a good alternative if need be – in this case, you would contribute the same amount at regular intervals over an extended period of time. The Allworth Advice is that we recommend replenishing your 401(k) as soon as it’s realistically possible – so pick either strategy you think will work best for you and your wife’s current situation. Consulting with a credentialed fi nancial advisor and/or a tax professional is also a good idea. Q: Judy from Villa Hills: I’m 59 and have saved about $500,000 for retirement. I’ll also have a Social Security benefi t. My company just off ered me an early retirement option that includes a lump sum payout and healthcare for a few years. I’m wondering if I’ll be OK if I take it? A: We’ve been seeing a lot of people in your same position come to us at Allworth lately – the pandemic has pushed many companies to try and cut costs by off ering these kinds of packages to their more seasoned employees. But here’s the thing: many times, a decision like this doesn’t come down to ‘the math.’ Instead, it comes down to whether you’re emotionally and mentally ready to walk away from work early. And we think this is likely true in your case as well. Because while we don’t know the details of your fi nances, like your budget, retirement goals, and risk tolerance, it sounds like you’ve done a great job saving over the years. So, while there’s a good chance you’ll be

fi nancially secure in retirement, are you actually ready for retirement? Think about how you’ll spend your days. How will you fi ll your time? Will you learn a new skill? Teach a skill to others? Travel? Try dipping your toe into a new kind of career? Volunteer? There are a lot of hours in the day for which you’ll need to account. Here’s The Allworth Advice: Running the numbers is obviously still important when preparing for an early retirement (a credentialed fi nancial advisor can help). But money shouldn’t be the only aspect you’re thinking about. Make sure you’re also focusing on what it will take for you to live a fulfi lling and purposeful retirement.

Broccoli souﬄ é casserole ‘goes great alongside holiday ham or roast’ Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

One of the most popular side dishes when my friend Bert and I had a catering business was Bert’s broccoli souﬄ é casserole.

We made quantity batches of that casserole too many times to count. It’s also the casserole we both make for the holidays, but scaled down for a home cook. It goes great alongside holiday ham or roast. And since we’re all still at home quite a bit, think about making more homemade edible gifts in-

Gift givers hot cocoa mix

stead of spending hours at the mall or online. As I’ve mentioned before, the kitchen is a welcoming and nurturing place to gather and make good food, and memories. The hot cocoa mix recipe is one I made several years ago in cooking school for our gifts class. It continues to be a fun and unusual gift from the kitchen.

Note this recipe uses Dutch processed cocoa. If all you have is regular or special dark cocoa, go right ahead and use either. Ingredients 3 cups nonfat milk powder 2 cups confectioners’ sugar 11⁄ 2 to 13⁄ 4 cups good quality-white chocolate chips 11⁄ 2 cups Dutch processed cocoa ⁄ 4 teaspoon salt

Small batch broccoli soufflé/casserole

Instructions Stir everything until combined. Then, working in 2 batches, process mixture in food processor until chips are really ground ﬁ ne, powdery like, about a minute or so.

You can make this several days ahead and reheat in microwave or in oven, covered, at 325 or so degrees until hot throughout.

Store in airtight container up to 2 months.

Now if you have a little more, or less, of the broccoli, no worries.

Nice to give with a pair of mugs. To serve: Heat 1 cup whole milk until steaming. Whisk in 1⁄ 3 cup mix until dissolved. Pour into mug and top with marshmallows or whipped cream.

Ingredients 1 pound broccoli florets or broccoli cuts, steamed just until crisp tender but not cooked all the way or use frozen broccoli, thawed to room temperature or again, steamed a bit to crisp tender

Did you know there are several kinds of cocoa powder? Regular cocoa

⁄ 4 to 1 cup real mayonnaise (1 cup makes it more creamy)

That’s what most of us grew up with. It’s a standard.

2 eggs, well beaten

Dutch processed

8 oz./2 cups sharp or extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Dutch process powder starts with beans washed in an alkaline solution which neutralizes acidity. That process makes it darker in color than regular cocoa, more mellow in flavor and easily dissolved.

1 can mushroom soup undiluted ⁄ 4 cup minced onions

Preheat oven to 350.

Above, the ﬁ nished broccoli soufflé casserole. Right the casserole before baking. PHOTOS BY

Spray 8x8 casserole.

RITA HEIKENFELD/FOR THE ENQUIRER

Mix mayonnaise, eggs, cheese, soup and onions. Pour over broccoli and mix well.

Tip:

Put in casserole and bake 35 minutes or so until bubbly and broccoli is cooked through.

If you want, just use 1 cup cheese mixed in and the other cup scattered on top prior to baking.

Instructions

Special dark cocoa That’s just a blend of regular and Dutch processed cocoa. Black cocoa It’s more heavily alkalized than Dutch processed. That gives it the dark, almost black color. Someone told me Oreos contain a type of black cocoa which gives the cookies that dark color. Not a substitute one for one with the others.

NKY police agency assists with Kentucky bestiality prosecutions Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Boone County Sheriff investigators assisted with the investigation of what is believed to be the fi rst bestiality law conviction since state lawmakers outlawed sex with animals in 2019, according to a Kentucky Attorney General release. The 97-0 vote passing of Senate Bill 67 in March 2019 made Kentucky one of the last states to make bestiality illegal, according to a Courier-Journal article. Attorney General Daniel Cameron announced the convictions Nov. 24 in the release. The Boone County Sheriff 's Offi ce assisted the Maysville Police Department

and Assistant Attorney General Rewa Zakharia of the AG's oﬃ ce of special prosecutions, according to the release. Bracken County resident Nolene Renee Horn, 44, and Mason County resident Christopher S. Jones, 50, have each pleaded guilty in Mason County to two felony counts of sexual crimes against an animal, and two misdemeanor counts of torture of a dog, according to the release. Horn and Jones were indicted in June. The felony charges are punishable by a sentence of up to ﬁ ve years in prison with a minimum sentence of one year in prison. Mason County Circuit Court Judge Stockton B. Wood is scheduled to issue sentences on Feb. 21, 2021.

NKY burglary investigation leads to three arrests Quinlan Bentley Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Deputies with the Boone County Sheriff 's Offi ce made several arrests Nov. 22 in connection to a string of burglaries from Halperns' Steak and Seafood in Walton, Kentucky, according to a press release. Following a months-long investigation, deputies arrested Pedro Gonzalez, 31, of Louisville, Alberto Maldanado, 26, of Louisville and Yanisleydis Rodriguez, 23, also of Louisville, the release states. The suspects were surveilling the business Nov. 22 before deputies made the arrest, according to the release. During a traffi c stop, deputies found the suspects in possession of radios, black gloves and several masks, the release states. Those items were allegedly used during six previous break-ins from the same business, in which an estimat-

ed $30,000 to $50,000 in raw meat was stolen. The suspects admitted in an interview that they had planned to burglarize the business again, the release states. Gonzalez was charged with six counts of burglary, six counts of theft, one count of attempted burglary and one count of carrying a concealed weapon, among other charges, according to the release. Maldanado was charged with burglary, attempted burglary and possession of burglary tools, the release states. Rodriguez faces an attempted burglary charge as well as a charge for possession of burglary tools. Maldanado and Rodriguez are thought to be accomplices, oﬃ cials said. All three suspects were taken to the Boone County Detention Center, according to the release.

Researchers discovered fossilized remains of a 330-million-year-old shark in Mammoth Cave. PROVIDED BY MATT CECIL

Fossil trove, new shark species discovered at Mammoth Cave Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A new discovery at Mammoth Cave National Park has us glad that modernday Kentucky is landlocked. A team of scientists at Mammoth Cave National Park has discovered a “trove of fossil treasures” consisting of at least 40 diff erent species of sharks and their relatives in the past 10 months. Park offi cials said it is one of the most diverse Mississippian shark faunas in North America. The Paleozoic Era species are also referred to as “Mississippian” which is a term used by geologists in North America to describe the time period between 358.9 and 298.9 million years ago, according to the National Parks Service. During the Mississippian Period, shallow seas covered much of North America, including Kentucky. During this time, the fi rst amphibians began to appear and so did the cave system that became Mammoth Cave. Offi cials said the discovery includes six new species and rare preservations of three-dimensional skeletal cartilage. The fossil-rich limestone of Mammoth cave has been known to contain fossils like ice age mammals and shark teeth and fi n spines.

“I am absolutely amazed at the diversity of sharks we see while exploring the passages that make up Mammoth Cave. We can hardly move more than a couple of feet as another tooth or spine is spotted in the cave ceiling or wall,” said John-Paul Hodnett of the MarylandNational Capital Parks and Planning Commission. Hodnett, a fossil shark specialist, was enlisted to help identify the fossils. “We are seeing a range of diff erent species of chondrichthyans [cartilaginous fi sh] that fi ll a variety of ecological niches, from large predators to tiny little sharks that lived amongst the crinoid [sea lily] forest on the seafl oor that was their habitat,” Hodnett said. It’s unlikely you’ll stumble upon the next big fi nd. Offi cials said most of the shark fossils have been discovered in areas inaccessible to visitors on cave tours. “We here at Mammoth Cave are very excited to fi nd that we have such an important set of fossils at the park. Although we have known that we had a few shark teeth in the limestone exposed in the cave, we never imagined that we would have the abundance and diversity of sharks that JP Hodnett has identifi ed,” said Rick Toomey, a Cave Resource Management Specialist and Research Coordinator at Mammoth Cave National Park.

Colonels air it out for district title over Ryle James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

UNION – Ryle tried to emphasize the running game on defense and make Dixie Heights throw the ball Friday when the teams met for the KHSAA 6A, District 6 football championship at Ryle’s Borland Stadium. Dixie made the Raiders pay for that, scoring three touchdowns in a six-minute span of the third quarter, then the Colonels held on to win 41-36. Dixie avenged a 44-14 win by the Raiders on Oct. 16 and will move on to the regional fi nal at Trinity (7-0). “I’m shocked. I have no words,” said Dixie Heights junior Kel Hawkins “It’s crazy. People thought we were going to lose because of the last game, but we showed up today. We fi ght. We never quit. We’re hungry, now we have to move on. We have more games to come.” The Colonels exploded on off ense, as junior quarterback Logan Landers completed 22-of-26 passes for 359 yards and fi ve touchdowns, and also rushed for 72 yards. Four of the TDs were to junior Devin Holbert, who caught 14 passes for 187 yards. Junior Pierce Rohlman added 87 rushing yards as the Colonels racked up over 500 for the night Hawkins had a key 74-yard scoring play and two interceptions to give him eight for the season. “Holbert and Hawkins, they can vertically get down the fi eld,” said Dixie head coach Dave Brossart. “They block well, they run well, they can catch anything you throw to them. Logan kept us cool the whole day. Ryle did a great job taking our run away and they forced us to throw it, which isn’t our style, and our kids came up big play after play.” Landers threw for 282 yards last week to lead the Colonels from 20 points down late in the third quarter to defeat Simon Kenton, 34-33. His performance didn’t surprise his receivers. “We’re on the fi eld every single day: Me, Holbert, all of us,” Hawkins said. “We worked so hard for this. Logan, he stepped up so much. He’s leading us to state this year. He’s amazing.” Ryle led 16-6 in the second quarter before the Colonels came back. Ryle senior Bradyn Lyons threw for 232 yards in his fi nal game. Ryle took the opening kickoff and marched 65 yards in four plays. Lyons completed a 28-yard pass to Kaden Gardner and a 15-yard pass to Jackson

McGinniss. Senior Mathias Cusick scored his eighth TD of the year just 1:13 into the game. The teams traded stops of each other on fourth-down conversions. On Dixie’s second drive of the game, Landers found Holbert for a deep ball, gaining 41 yards. Rohlman scored his 11th touchdown of the season. The kick failed, and Ryle led 8-6 with 2:19 to go in the ﬁ rst period. Ryle took a two-score lead after sophomore Kaden Gardner returned a punt 50 yards to the Dixie 7. Sophomore Lukas Colemire scored on a Wildcat snap, then scored again on a two-pointer after a Dixie penalty, and Ryle led 16-6. Dixie scored quickly with 7:25 to play in the second quarter, completing an 80-yard drive on a 37-yard scoring pass from Landers to Holbert. The PAT made it 16-13, Ryle. Momentum shifted when Gardner intercepted a Landers pass and returned it deep into Dixie territory, but the play was called back by a penalty. See DIXIE, Page 2B

Darrin Horn has NKU knocking on the door Charlie Goldsmith Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Darrin Horn thought he would at least reach out. Northern Kentucky basketball’s head coaching position was open in April, 2019. Horn, then an assistant coach at Texas, reached out to an old friend who had previously worked with NKU athletic director Ken Bothof. “If Ken is interested, I’d be interested in talking with him,” Horn told him. “If not, that’s ﬁ ne too.” Two weeks later, the Norse hired Horn. In his ﬁ rst season, Horn led NKU to a 23-9 record and the Horizon League Tournament championship. Last season, the Norse would have made the NCAA Tournament if it had taken place. NKU’s season started Nov. 25 against Ball State at BB&T Arena, and Horn said NKU has an even more talented team. “I knew before it was open that it was a job that I’d be interested in,” Horn said. “I didn’t want to come back and be a head coach just to be a head coach. I wanted to be somewhere where I had a chance to win.”

NKU head coach Darrin Horn led the Norse to a 23-9 record and the Horizon League Tournament championship, which would have earned an NCAA Tournament berth had it not been for the pandemic. MICHAEL CONROY/AP

Before hiring Horn, NKU was in the process of establishing itself as one of the best mid-major schools in college basketball. Between the 2016-2017 season and the 2018-19 season, former head coach John Brannen, now the head man

at UC, led the Norse to a 72-30 record, in addition to two NCAA Tournaments and one NIT berth. In the 2019 NCAA Tournament, NKU faced third-seeded Texas Tech, which eventually reached the national cham-

pionship game. At halftime in the ﬁ rst round, NKU trailed by only four points, and Texas Tech came away with a hard fought 72-57 victory. Bothof has been an athletic director for 18 years. He knows what happens when a mid-major coach has a team like NKU competing on the national stage. “It’s not like this was a total surprise,” Bothof said. “We knew there would be a great deal of interest in coach Brannen, so I had already started to identify people that I would have an interest in.” In a move that didn’t surprise Bothof, the Bearcats hired Brannen on April 14, 2019. Bothof was ready to conduct a national coaching search, and he already had a sense of what he was looking for. Between 2003-2008, Horn had posted a 111-48 record at Western Kentucky, leading the Hilltoppers to two regular season conference championships and one NCAA Tournament. He then became the head coach at South Carolina, where Horn won 60 games over four seasons and an SEC title. Horn was an assistant coach at Texas between 2015-2019, and had his sights on his next head coaching opporSee NORSE, Page 2B

Beechwood wins in ﬁ rst game in nearly a month Alex Harrison Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Beechwood Tigers set the tone well before kickoff how they expected Friday’s rematch with Lloyd Memorial to go. The Tigers took the fi eld with fi reworks blasting off behind them as the players ran through a sign that read, “History repeats itself. 49-0.” The sign referred to Oct. 16 when Beechwood beat the Juggernauts 49-0 at Beechwood. On Friday, the teams met again in the Class 2A playoff s with the Tigers earning another shutout home win, 38-0. The Tigers and the Juggernauts traded punts on the game’s fi rst two possessions and Lloyd had to punt again their second possession. A Tiger got a piece of the punt and Beechwood took over at Lloyd’s 24-yard line. It took just one play for Beechwood quarterback Cameron Hergott to race into the endzone for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead. Lloyd used most of the second quarter on a drive that ended with a turnover on downs at Beechwood’s 1-yard line. Juggernaut quarterback Jacob Davidson and Amari Riley drove nearly the length of the fi eld before getting a fourth-and-goal at the 2-yard line. Davidson rushed to his right but advanced just 1 yard, giving up the ball with no points. Hergott and his mate in the backfi eld Avery Courtney ran the off ense smoothly on Beechwood’s next possession. Both ran for chunks of yards before Hergott found 26 yards on a scramble, setting up his own 4-yard touchdown run on the next play, giving Beechwood a 14-0 lead. “They were in a prevent defense because the clock was winding down into the second half,” Hergott said of his touchdown-setting scramble. “We called a pass play and saw everybody drop back into coverage. I waited a little bit, made a lineman miss and I just ran. I knew I’d be able to make some people miss and get some yards.” The 14-0 lead for the Tigers was it for the fi rst half, making the threat of repeating history seem like it might fall fl at. “They ate a lot of clock on off ense,” Beechwood head coach Noel Rash said of how Lloyd kept the game close. “They sustained a drive and we got the ball one

time in the second quarter. We came out very fl at and then they started hitting us in the mouth and it took us a while to adjust.” “A while” for Beechwood turned out to be just that fi rst half. The Tigers exploded coming out in the second half. The only skid was on the opening drive of the half when a pass from Hergott was tipped and Lloyd’s Kaiden Zulager picked it off the ground for an interception. Beechwood forced a stop and then scored three touchdowns in the quarter on another rush by Hergott and then two passing scores.

The teams traded punts, then they had three combined turnovers in the fi nal minutes of the half. On consecutive plays, Dixie and Ryle fumbled to the other team at the end of a long pass play, and Hawkins intercepted a long pass by Lyons to end a Ryle threat. Dixie had 224 yards off ense in the fi rst half to 171 for the Raiders. Landers was 13-of-14 for 161 yards in the fi rst half. Dixie started the second half with a 50-yard kickoff return by senior Simon Sharp to the Ryle 31. On fourth-andtwo from the Ryle 29, Landers found Holbert wide open near the goal line for his second TD catch of the game. On Ryle’s next drive, Rohlman intercepted Lyons and returned the ball to the Ryle 35. On third and 9 from the 14, Landers found Holbert again for a score, and Dixie led 27-16. Dixie forced a punt, and on the second play of the Colonels’ next drive, Hawkins got behind everybody and Landers found him for a long pass and a 74-yard touchdown, and Dixie led 34-16 six minutes into the third quarter. Ryle scored twice to pull within fi ve at 34-29 with 9:30 to go in the game. Then, Dixie moved to the Ryle 27 on

two big runs by Rohlman of nine and 17 yards, but faced fourth and seven from the Ryle 27. On that play, Landers rolled out to his right and lofted the ball to Holbert, who leaped to catch the ball as it went over a defender’s shoulder. He broke a tackle and went in for his fourth TD of the game. Ryle scored with 1:25 to play, but junior Gabe Thelen recovered the onside kick, and the Colonels ran the clock out. Brossart said three early turnovers set the tone in the fi rst game against Ryle, and that despite falling behind by 10 in this one, the Colonels kept their composure. “Even giving up 36 points, our defense did a lot of good stuff ,” Brossart said. “We put a lot of pressure on the quarterback. We expected a great football game and that’s what we got. I’m glad we won this one and not the fi rst one.” Dixie Heights 6 7 21 7-41 Ryle 8 8 7 13-36 R – M.

Leading 17-0, Hergott found a wideopen receiver in the endzone, but a holding penalty wiped out the touchdown. In the next play, Hergott again launched a ball to an open Cole Stammer for a 42-yard touchdown. The Tigers took a 31-0 lead on another one-play drive. After forcing another turnover on downs, Hergott hit Liam McCormack for a 29-yard touchdown just before the end of the fourth quarter. Beechwood put an exclamation point on the win in the fourth quarter when a Tanner Schultz interception turned into a scoring run for Torin O’Shea. Beechwood improved to 7-2 on the year with its ﬁ fth-straight win.

The Tigers hadn’t played since Oct. 30 because of playoff byes and canceled games. In those fi ve games, which includes the last win over the Juggernauts, Beechwood outscored its opponents 236-13.

tunity. “Your fi rst thought is if I can hire someone with successful head coaching experience,” Bothof said. “If those individuals are available, those are some of the fi rst ones that you look at.” This was when Horn reached out to Toledo head coach Tod Kowalczyk, who worked with Bothof at Green Bay. Quickly, Horn held a preliminary Zoom interview with Bothof, and then he traveled to Northern Kentucky for an interview. Bothof interviewed multiple candidates, but it only took 10 days for him to hire Horn. “Fortunately for me, they were looking for a head coach with experience to build on the great things (Brannen) and his staff had done,” Horn said. “What’s exciting is there was still a lot of room to grow.” The NKU team Horn inherited was already a Horizon League contender. But the Norse had just graduated forward Drew McDonald, NKU’s all-time leading scorer and the reigning Horizon League Player of the Year. Horn also wanted to implement a new-look off ense that would feature guards like Trevon Faulkner. “My off ense in my fi rst year with our old coach was diff erent,” Faulkner. “I love this off ense, and I love the way he

lets us compete at a high level. There’s more cuts. It’s not just one player touching the ball. Everybody is getting a piece of the pie and is able to make plays.” During Horn’s fi rst season at NKU, the Norse hit the ground running. Featuring a four-guard starting lineup, the Norse had one of the four most effi cient off enses and defenses in the Horizon League. “It’s a positive to have a veteran team, but that can also cause some challenges since they’re used to playing a certain style,” Bothof said. “What (Horn) did extremely well was look at the talent that we had coming back and make some changes that fi t that talent. He got that group to buy into doing things a little diff erently.” Last season, Horn accomplished the baseline of success for a high achieving mid-major like NKU –– winning the conference tournament. Horn and his players have an idea of what they need to do next. The next step for the Norse is to win their fi rst postseason game in Division 1, and to win their fi rst game against a team from a major conference. NKU will have its fi rst opportunity for its fi rst program defi ning win on Dec. 6 at Butler. The Horizon League Tournament looms in March as NKU’s only opportunity to earn an NCAA Tournament berth. “At some point,” Horn said, “you have to do that to be able to take a step.”

Rotary Club of Florence joins Steinford Toy Foundation to bring a merry Christmas to thousands of NKY children The Rotary Club of Florence and Steinford Toy Foundation have joined forces again in 2020 in order to bring joy this holiday season to thousands of children in Northern Kentucky. Donations of unwrapped new or gently used toys are being received at the locations listed below. Donations will be accepted through Monday, Dec. 7. “Our community cares and Christmas joy is needed more than ever. Please drop new toys oﬀ at any of the listed locations between Nov. 23 and Dec. 7. Our Rotary Club of Florence volunteer team will pick-up and send your gifts to the Steinford Toy Foundation. In turn, your donated toys will be delivered by Steinford Toy Foundation volunteers directly to children to brighten Christmas and bless over 3,000 children in Northern Kentucky,” states Rotary Club of Florence Project Chairperson Roger Babik of Master Provisions. During the Great Depression, a Northern Kentucky couple, Rose and George Steinford, witnessed many needy children in their neighborhood who were not experiencing the joys of Christmas. Rose and George, who had no children of their own, assumed the roles of Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus by purchasing, repairing and distributing used toys to these children. Today, that tradition is continued through the Steinford Toy Foundation, founded in 1973, and the Foundation’s volunteers that collect and distribute the toys. h Master Provisions - Florence 7725 Foundation Drive h St. Elizabeth – Florence 4900 Houston Road h St. Elizabeth – Covington 1500 James Simpson Jr Way h St. Elizabeth – Ft Thomas 85 North Grand Avenue h St. Elizabeth – Edgewood 1 Medical Village Drive h Heritage Bank 16 Locations h RC Durr YMCA - Burlington 5874 Veterans Way h YMCA Campbell County – Ft Thomas 1437 S Ft Thomas Avenue h Ziegler & Schneider – Crescent Springs 541 Buttermilk Pike, Suite 500 h Gateway Rehabilitation - Florence 5940 Merchants Street h Mueller Financial - Florence 6900 Houston Road, Suite 31 h Minuteman Press - Florence 7830 U.S. 42 h Forcht Bank – Burlington 6100 1st Financial Drive h Best Way Disposal - Burlington 1389 Production Drive h Regal Power Transmission - Florence 7120 New Buﬃ ngton Road h Kenner Dentistry - Florence 7000 Houston Road, Suite 35 h All State Insurance - Florence 6785 Houston Road, Suite 200 h Bob Sumerel Tire/AAA - Florence 8711 US 42 h Earl Franks Sons & Daughters - Covington 428 Madison Avenue h Advance Auto Parts - Walton 242 Mary Grubbs Highway h Drake’ s Restaurant - Florence 6805 Houston Road

‘Christmas Break GO Boxes’ makes Christmas ‘merry’ again for local hungry children Christmas isn’t always “merry” for hungry children in Boone, Kenton and Campbell counties and with the way this year has gone, it’s even worse in 2020. The holiday break from school is a daunting time not looked forward to by thousands of hungry children in Northern Kentucky. These children, who typically must rely on the Free & Reduced Lunch Program for meals during the school year, know that when school ends, so does their primary food source. Thanks to GO Pantry’s “Christmas Break GO Box” campaign, hundreds of those kids, in the worst of the worst situations, will have enough to eat over Christmas and New Year’s.

GO Pantry, a local nonprofi t organization made up of volunteers, is committed to providing food to these Northern Kentucky children who do not have enough to eat at home over the Christmas holidays. “During the school year, many kids get their only meals at school through free and reduced meal programs,” said Laura Dumancic, a Union mother of three and founder/director of GO Pantry. “That’s a reliable source of healthy, fi lling food for many kids. When you take that away during Christmas break, many kids go hungry.” Food drives are the organization’s primary source to feed children on weekends during the school year and the “Christmas Break Go Box” campaign is critical to make certain these hungry kiddos have enough to get them thru the holiday break. While it would be ideal, not all children eligible for the Free & Reduced Lunch Program will receive GO Pantry support from the Christmas break campaign. In Boone & Kenton counties alone, 30% of all students (11,000 children) are eligible for the Free & Reduced Lunch Program – there are just too many children for the organization to serve. The children receiving GO Pantry “Christmas Break GO Boxes” have been identifi ed by their schools as those in the most need. In most cases, a teacher has physically recognized that the child is hungry and struggling and identifi ed as truly at risk of not eating on the days they are away from school. For the 2020 holiday break, GO Pantry hopes provide a minimum of 900 children with a Christmas Break GO Box containing the emergency food assistance they need to help get through the 2-week school break. Filling one box at time, generous donors can sign up to “fi ll” a go box with items GO Pantry has strategically listed as necessary to cover the time away from school. These boxes are then delivered in a “reverse drive thru” manner to one of two area businesses generously collecting for GO Pantry, or to the GO Pantry warehouse during a specifi c delivery window the fi rst weekend in December. Once everything is collected, it’s checked for strict expiration date compliance and delivered anonymously to the schools these kids attend in time for them to take it with them over Christmas Break. More information and GO Pantry “Christmas Break Go Box” shopping lists are available via https:// www.gopantry.org/christmas-go-box Laura Dumancic, Go Pantry

Online shopping reminders The holiday season is upon us, and many of us are going to shop online for at least some of our holiday purchases. Being smart when and where you shop online can help keep you from falling victim to cybercrime. Mason Work to avoid getting caught up in the momentum of online shopping. Set aside time and establish a budget before you even login. Be aware of your mood and avoid distractions that might cause you to lose track of your goals and what you are doing. Only shop online when you know you have a secure internet connection. Shopping with an unsecure connection can make you an easy target for cyber thieves who can steal your credit card information. Remember public internet connections are not always secure, even if you are on your own device, and their security software may not always be up to date. When buying online, look for a padlock symbol on the page and shop from sites that start with an https:// web address. This is additional assurance for you that the website encrypts your information as the transaction is processed. Use credit cards instead of debit cards to make purchases online. The Fair Credit Billing Act limits your responsibility to the fi rst $50 in charges if your credit card is used fraudulently, and many credit card companies will not hold you responsible for any fraudulent charges made online. Review your statements and report any suspicious transactions to your credit card company. You also can request a free credit report from the three credit reporting agencies. Create strong passwords and PIN numbers. Use different combinations of upper and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols to make your passwords hard to crack. Do not use personally identifi able passwords such as your address, birthday or name in your passwords, as these are easy for thieves to fi gure out. Keep your passwords private. Do not share them with others or keep them in your wallet or purse as these can be stolen. Try to use diff erent passwords for each of your online accounts. Automatically set updates on your device to keep it up-to-date with the latest security features. This includes apps, browsers and your operating system. Keep your home internet network secure by password protecting your connection. As always, if a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Take time to research the seller and ensure the website it secure. The holiday season is no time to relax your online diligence.
