NKY ‘glamping’ site set to open New Year’s Day Randy Tucker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

If you’ve recently driven past the 31-acre site in Williamstown, Ky. where the Camp Bespoke boutique campground was planned to open in October, you may be wondering whatever happened to that idea. Trees have been felled, the site’s rolling hills have been graded and you can see the hook-ups for water, sewage disposal and electricity. But the ornate tipis and private cabins and cottages made from repurposed shipping containers and designed to provide luxurious accommodations at the site were still nowhere to be seen Dec. 7. Don’t worry, they’re on their way, and local residents will soon be introduced to “glamping,” a neology for a more glamourous form of camping that gives campers access to homelike amenities, such as hot running water and fl ush toilets. That’s according to Nicole Brassington, Camp Bespoke’s co-founder and CEO and one of four health care workers whom she said pooled their life savings to launch the estimated $3.4 million project in which they’ve already invested $700,000. “I know it doesn’t look like there’s anything there now, but that’s all about to change,” Brassington recently told The Enquirer. Eight fully-furnished cabins and cottages were scheduled to be installed at the site by the end of last week, when on-site construction of the tipis began, according to Brassington, a Kentucky native and former nurse who co-founded the project with her friend and co-worker, Misty Smith. Latasha Reid and Dr. Angelina Strickland round out the ownership group, with Reid acting as chief operating offi cer and Dr. Strickland as chief fi nancial offi cer. The campground - just east of the Barnes Road exit off Interstate-75, about 40 miles south of Cincinnati will open New Year’s Day for select guests, including TV and newspaper reporters and social media infl uencers, Brassington said.

Charlie McGregor, co-founder and president of TSP Solutions, a local sales company. ROOTED CREATIVE

Charlie McGregor worked more than 15 years in sales for other people’s companies, but he always believed he would end up at the helm of his own ﬁ rm. McGregor was right. He and business partner Vince Spencer bid goodbye to their bosses and launched TSP Solutions, a minority-owned-and-operated business in Florence, in 2007. McGregor, who lives in Florence, is president. Spencer, who lives in Union, is vice president of the company. TSP Solutions makes energy-curable coatings and specialty inks, synthetic resin and pine chemicals for print and packaging, automotive and industrial markets.

The company is certiﬁ ed by the National Minority Supplier Development Council. “It was always my end game to have my own business,” McGregor said. “I believe that there are so many opportunities to continue to build equity in yourself and have a bigger impact in your community.” McGregor, 49, is from Miami. He earned a bachelor’s degree in business management and a master’s degree in occupational safety and health, both from Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia. McGregor has since learned many more things outside the classroom. He got a lot of practical experience working for Greif Inc., a manufacturer of industrial packaging based in See TSP, Page 8A

It will open to the public in March with a total of 36 units, a welcome center and event pavilion, she said. Reservations can be made on the campground’s website. Average nightly rates range from about $210 per night for a small cottage to $390 for a tipi. “We’ve been very blessed and fortunate that our project has garnered a lot of attention already,” said Brassington referring to recent articles in The Enquirer and SouthernLiving, and posts

on Facebook and YouTube as well as other media outlets. “We’ve got multiple groups and individuals looking to make reservations.” In fact, 56 prospective campers had already booked reservations for October, but Brassington and her partners were forced to refund more than $76,000 in deposits when they realized they’d have to push back the opening date, she said. “2020 has been some year,” Brassington sighed. “We encountered way more things out of our control than we expected. And nobody could have planned for COVID.” The COVID-19 pandemic made it diffi cult to fi nd contractors to build the shipping container cabins, which are being fabricated at the Camp Bespoke headquarters and warehouse in Louisville, Brassington said. The pandemic also stalled state and local government approval processes for the campsite needed to obtain the necessary licensing and permits. In addition, Brassington said, the cost of building materials skyrocketed just about the time construction began, driving the cost to complete the campsite up more than 50% and forcing the owners to dig deeper for fi nancing with little help from traditional lenders. “We tried to get bank fi nancing, but most of the banks said it looks like a great business model, but it’s all speculative,” Brassington said, noting that the bank offi cials she met with wanted to see past returns for similar businesses to gauge their risk. “We didn’t have the historicals they wanted to see because the project is so new to Kentucky,” she said. While still a budding industry,

“glamping” is growing in popularity and is expected to generate $4.8 billion worldwide by 2025, according to Grand View Research, a San Francisco-based market research and consulting fi rm. Brassington and her colleagues are so confi dent in their business model that they self-funded the entire project with credit cards, 401K withdrawals and other private contributions. “That’s just the burden and story of African American women, especially African American women entrepreneurs,” Brassington said. “Nothing is ever given to us. We have to work for everything we have. We have a heavier burden.’’ Still, Brassington credits local residents and politicians for providing widespread support for her project, which promises to bring jobs and new tax revenue to the area. She singled out Williamstown Mayor Rick Skinner as one of her most ardent supporters. “He gave me carte blanche,” she said, referring to Skinner. “He said if you build something that can help us with the lodging demand we have for the Ark (Encounter), I think we would be able to support it. When I came back with the “glamping” idea, he was all for it.” The nearby Ark Encounter, about a 10-minute drive from the campsite, features a 510-foot-long replica of Noah’s Ark with three decks of museum exhibits, videos, and interactive displays depicting the biblical tale of Noah’s Ark. The Ark Encounter was drawing more than 1 million visitors a year before the pandemic struck, and cut traffi c by about 40%, according to Skinner. But there are few hotels in Williamstown, which relies mainly on short-

term Airbnb rentals to accommodate visitors, he said. “The Ark continues to be a big draw, but until we get the hotel and motel infrastructure we need, we’ll continue to rely on Airbnb and other alternatives,” Skinner said. Camp Bespoke “off ers a unique opportunity. We’re excited to see what it’s going to bring to Williamstown.” While Camp Bespoke may help alleviate the demand for tourist lodging in Williamstown, Brassington said she’s confi dent it will be a self-sustaining business supplemented by Ark Encounter visitors but not reliant on them. She said the campground’s fully furnished cabins and tipis with heated and air-conditioned sitting areas, separate bathrooms, kitchenettes, even TV and WIFI connections, appeal to a broad range of people like herself. “I’m not a camper, so the thought of going to the bathroom in the middle of the night when it’s raining outside, or animals are roaming around just isn’t appealing to me,” Brassington previously told The Enquirer. “What we off er is still camping, but it’s camping with all the accommodations you might have at a hotel, and maybe a little more.” And while COVID-19 has been the bane of her existence since it began, Brassington said it’s likely to drive reservations going forward. “A lot of people are working remotely because of COVID, but they’re tired of being cooped up in the house,” she said. “They just want to be able to sit in one of the units and look out the window while they work. Our product will allow them to work, enjoy nature and socially distance at the same time.”

Hand-washing, other precautions are keeping ﬂ u at bay Terry DeMio Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Chances are you haven't heard much grumbling about the fl u this year. It's just not catching on, at least so far, thanks to your masks and hand-washing and social distancing to mitigate damage from COVID-19, public health offi cials say. Dr. O’Dell Owens, president and chief executive offi cer of the health nonprofi t Interact for Health, said a key reason that the fl u is not surging at this time as it would in years past is because people have spent 2020 masking, social distancing and washing their hands. “That is the gold standard right now, and the pay off right now is that we are not challenged right now by the regular fl u,” Owens said. You might wonder: If masks and distancing are keeping fl u cases to minimal levels, why is COVID-19 still raging? The answer is in how the viruses are transmitted, said Dr. Carl J. Fichtenbaum, a University of Cincinnati College of Medicine professor in the division of infectious disease. "Infl uenza is largely transmitted through droplet transmission, meaning that when we cough, sneeze, breathe, small droplets come out and travel short distances and can infect someone else," Fichtenbaum said. "COVID can be transmitted both by droplet transmission and airborne transmission." With airborne transmission, smaller particles travel greater distances and hang in the air longer, Fichtenbaum said.

A Flu shot is given to a patient at Kroger in Newport, KY. PHIL DIDION

If you are in a room with a person with COVID-19 for several hours ... there may be more virus in the air and a great chance you will come in contact with it," he said. And there's something else diff erent about the two: "This year’s infl uenza may not be as contagious compared to COVID, which has really adapted to people and is very catchy person to person," Fichtenbaum said. And he said if you drop your mask for a short period - maybe to eat or drink and even if you stay 6 feet away, you might not catch the fl u, but you could still get infected with COVID-19. In short, he said, COVID-19 will transmit "really rapidly" without a mask and without other mitigating precautions. But masks and distancing and hand washing

are more eff ective for fl u. In Ohio, there was one hospitalization for fl u during the week of Nov. 22-28, health department records show, and 27 for the fl u season to date. Compare that to the 2019-2020 season: There were 33 for the same week last year, and there were 172 fl u hospitalizations for the fl u season to that date. It's not just Ohio that's fl at with fl u virus cases. It's the world. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported in September that data from clinical laboratories in the United States showed a 61% drop in the number of possible fl u cases submitted and a 98% drop in fl u activity as measured by the percentage of submitted specimens testing positive. The CDC noted low fl u activity in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. And that's continuing. So far this year, Hamilton County has had three fl u hospitalizations. Butler and Warren counties had one each and Clermont County has had none, Ohio records show. Currently, Northern Kentucky, fl u looks like this: This season through Nov. 15 (the last data reported) there have been eight cases in Boone, Campbell, Kenton and Grant counties. "By this time last year we had seen 518 cases of infl uenza," said Zack Raney, epidemiology manager for the Northern Kentucky Health Department. Dec. 6-12 was National Hand-Washing Awareness Week to remind Americans that keeping hands clean and away from the face cuts down on the spread of viruses such as fl u and the new coronavirus.

Bad math lands Fort Thomas hospital in New York Times Anne Saker

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Jaws dropped Dec. 10 at St. Elizabeth Healthcare when leaders saw the Fort Thomas hospital listed in the New York Times as one of the busiest COVID-19 care centers in the nation. St. Elizabeth’s main COVID-19 facility, its Fort Thomas hospital, has been busy, the leaders said, but not as busy as that, and they went on the hunt for the mistake. “When we’re living and breathing these numbers by the hour, you know that there was an error there,” said Vera Hall, St. Elizabeth’s chief nursing executive. “When you hit the New York Times, you stop and drop everything.” Hall and other St. Elizabeth oﬃ cials pinned the

problem on the Kentucky Hospital Association, but a KHA oﬃ cial said the culprit was a coding bug in the computers of the Kentucky Department of Public Health. That agency is compiling bed capacity data across the commonwealth and reporting it to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Hall said the mistake was not St. Elizabeth’s but “a double counting” at the KHA that added the total number of COVID-19 patients at Fort Thomas than the average for the week of Nov. 27 – 145 – and the number of the facility’s negative-pressure rooms, which was 100, and came up with 224. That’s the number released Dec. 7 when the federal government initially made its bed capacity data public. The Times then analyzed the data to create lists of See HOSPITALS, Page 8A

Cranberry orange vodka provides unique twist to holiday cocktails Dog biscuits worth a wag

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

As granddaughter Eva said as she made a doggie birthday cake for her dog, Oliver, “Pumpkin and peanut butter are good for dogs.” Yes, Eva, they are!

Guest columnist

I had an executive culinary decision to make today. Requests for my clone of Williams-Sonoma peppermint bark are ﬂ owing in again. I honestly thought this cult favorite had made the rounds of our Community Press kitchens. I’m assuming there’s some newbies on board who want to make it. Then again, some requests are from readers who’ve been with me a while o be patient – the bark is coming, just not this week. Why? I needed to use up fresh cranberries from Thanksgiving and have a recipe for cranberry orange vodka to share. It’s simple to make and beautiful. Just a hint of citrus and a good cranberry ﬂ avor. This vodka gives a unique twist to holiday cocktails. Sub cranberry vodka for regular vodka in most recipes. The dog biscuits are for, well, that special canine in your life. I know there’s a bunch of you who can relate. A fun recipe for kids to make. For my young reader who wants to make her “well behaved constant companion during virtual school” a holiday treat.

Ingredients ⁄ 3 cup canned pumpkin puree 2

⁄ 4 cup creamy peanut butter

2 large eggs 2 1⁄ 2 to 3 cups whole wheat flour Grated carrots – optional but a handful tossed in are good Instructions Preheat oven to 350. Spray baking sheet. Beat puree, peanut butter and eggs until well combined.

Ingredients

Pour vodka in quart jar or other container. Add orange zest or peel.

11⁄ 4 to 1 1⁄ 2 cups fresh cranberries

Pour cranberry mixture over. Shake to blend. Let sit at room temperature 3 days to 2 months. Shake every once in a while.

2 tablespoons water Grated zest of 1 orange or thin slices of peels of 1 “cutie”/tangerine

Strain and add fresh cranberries if you want. Tip: Don’t pitch the used cranberries. They’re pretty tasty just popped into the mouth.

3 cups vodka Instructions Heat cranberries, sugar and water in a small

Gradually add flour, beating until combined with puree mixture. Start with 2 1⁄ 2 cups and add a little more until dough is not sticky but not dry, either. On a lightly floured surface, knead dough until it comes together. Roll to 1⁄ 4” thickness. Cut out as desired. Bake 20 minutes or so until edges are golden. Baking time depends upon size and thickness of biscuits. Tip: Make sure your doggo isn’t allergic to any ingredient.

the nation’s most overtaxed intensivecare units that were published Dec. 10. Fort Thomas came in fourth among larger-population centers, which came as a surprise to Hall and other Fort Thomas offi cials. “I know that data is kind of a hot spot, how accurate is the data?” Hall said. “We don’t want to further continue the suspicion that the numbers are infl ated. But even so, 145 patients – that’s a lot of patients.” At the KHA, Melanie Moch, vice president of of data and health information services, said the source of the problem was not at the KHA, although she understood how the St. Elizabeth offi cials would think so. The trade association has been working with the state health department to push hospitals to report their bed capacity daily.

“I’m on all the Zoom calls with them, so I can see how they would think it’s us,” Moch said, but the KHA is not handling the data. The association discovered that earlier this week, St. Elizabeth updated their number, which triggered a coding bug to double-count the Fort Thomas census. Moch said the health department and the Kentucky Department of Emergency Management went through the coding Dec. 10 and the problem shouldn’t happen again. In August, the Trump administration directed hospitals to stop sending the information to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and instead send it to HHS. Dr. James Horn, St. Elizabeth’s chief quality oﬃ cer and an emergency doctors, said more patients are seeking care now than on Nov. 27. As of Dec. 10, the system had 170 patients with COVID-19, and some are getting treated at St. Elizabeth Florence.

McGregor encourages other business people to follow their dreams. “My advice would be to be prepared to take some steps and sacriﬁ ce backwards before you can move forward,” he said. “Don't be afraid to fail, and be consistent. “I continue to keep God at the center of our business because apart from him we can do nothing.” McGregor is a board member of Northern Kentucky Young Life and belongs to a small faith-based group and a men’s faith-based group. When he has free time, he likes to spend it with family and friends. McGregor and his wife of 25 years, Summer, have four adult children. And, “I love sports in general,” he said.

More than 1 million seniors have taken advantage of this “retirement secret.”

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 near all-time lows while home values are still 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 7.19 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 longterm outcome.

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

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 to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement. 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. 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

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 the extra cash for everyday expenses while others are now using it as a safety net for financial emergencies. If you’re a homeowner age 62 or older, you owe it to yourself to learn more so that you can make the best decision - for your financial future. It’s time to reverse your thinking We’re here and ready to help. Homeowners who are interested in learning more can request a FREE Reverse Mortgage Information Kit and DVD by calling toll-free at

*Source: https://reversemortgagedaily.com/2019/12/17/senior-housing-wealth-reaches-record-high-of-7-19-trillion 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.

Americans can finally grow hair so thick “It will cover up your bald spots,” says top US Doctor Clinical trials show a new hair loss breakthrough can both help men and women naturally regrow a thick, full head of hair – without drugs, surgery, or side effects

The eighth-grade class at St. Therese School after surpassing the goal of 2,020 food items for Saint Vincent de Paul Food Pantry. PROVIDED

A good 2020? Record food drive at St. Therese School The number 2020 has some deﬁ nite stigma around it. This year has tainted this number’s reputation and has become the butt of many jokes on the internet. Forest ﬁ res, a climate crisis that caused a record number of hurricanes, a seemingly uncontrollable global pandemic, divisive politics, and countless deaths has made our heads spin. But, is it all bad? Think about it – civil rights movements, revolutionary protests that demand voices to be heard, and each of us seemed to change for the better in some way. Not only that, but another good thing happened, right in the city of Southgate, at St. Therese School. St. Therese School’s eighth grade class, as well as with the help from teacher, Mr. Stephen Young, set a goal to collect 2,020 canned goods. They spread the word throughout the whole school, via daily announcements and posters pinned up in every hallway. Soon, everyone was helping out. Each student had to bring in quite a number of cans, almost fourteen each, to have any hope of reaching their goal. But, everyone was determined, particularly the eighth grade. They counted, collected, and tallied, and on Thursday, November 19, the school not only reached their goal, but exceeded it. Beth Krebs, the junior high math teacher summed it up when she said, “Our school is a school of service. When

housands are rushing to get a new hair restoration method based on surprising new studies from the University of California. It is the world’s first and only hair loss solution that revives dead hair follicles. And studies confirm it helps men and women regrow a thick, full head of hair, even after years of balding. Now, with news of this breakthrough spreading like wildfire — the manufacturers are struggling to keep up with overwhelming demand. That’s because, unlike other methods, it is prescription-free, drug-free, and has no side effects. And while hair transplants can cost $4,000 or more, this new approach costs pennies on the dollar and doesn’t involve going to the doctor’s office.

Instead, it leverages cutting-edge technology to prevent hair loss, fill-in embarrassing bald spots, and renourish thinning hair — with results you can see and feel in 30 days or less. As Jeanne F. from San Diego, CA reports: “When my husband began to use this product, all he had on top of his head was fuzz. His hair began to grow after 30 days and now it is about 2 to 3 inches long!”

Surprising Truth About Hair Loss It is commonly believed that hair loss is hereditary. Unfortunately, most people think there is nothing they can do to stop it. However, while many doctors will tell you that thinning hair, a receding hairline, and bald spots are due to your genetics, this is not the whole story. “While genetics play a role, it’s not the main reason you lose hair,” says Dr. Al Sears, the nation’s top anti-aging doctor. “And surprisingly it’s not just your age, thyroid, hormones, stress, or a vitamin deficiency, either.” The latest scientific research reveals that hair loss is primarily caused by the stem cells in your hair follicles dying. “This discovery is a true breakthrough because by reviving these stem cells on your scalp, you can stop hair loss dead in its tracks and trigger new hair growth, even in areas that have been thinning for years,” explains Dr. Sears. Now, at his world-famous clinic, the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine in Palm Beach, Florida, Dr. Sears and his team have used this game-changing discovery to develop a brand-new hair restoration formula that is taking the country by storm. Sold under the name Re-Nourish, it is flying off the shelves with men and women of all ages raving about the results it delivers.

“I have seen a significant improvement in hair growth. Previously, you could see thinning areas at the back of my head and now hair has grown over

Breakthrough research proves this discovery helps fill-in bald spots, re-nournishes thinning hair, and leads to noticeable growth in as little as 30 days. it,” says Peter W. from Ontario, Canada. And Susan D. from Fort Pierce, Florida reports, “My hair was thinning. So, I began to use Re-Nourish every day on the front part of my scalp. Now I have thicker hair.” Dr. Al Sears, M.D., is America’s leading anti-aging expert. He’s authored more than 500 scientific papers, and his discoveries have appeared on more than 50 media outlets including, ABC News, CNN, ESPN, Discovery Channel, National Geographic, Lifetime, and many more.

Regrows Hair In Just 30 Days Scientists now know that stem cells are the lifeblood of your hair follicles. Research from the University of California shows they’re the reason you’re able to grow hair. However, these stem cells aren’t always active. In fact, studies reveal they’re only active during certain phases of the hair growth cycle. “Your hair grows in three phases,” explains Dr. Sears. “First, you have the anagen phase, the hair growing phase. Then the catagen phase, when hair gets ready to shed. And finally, the telogen phase, where your hair is pushed from the follicle and falls out.” As you get older it becomes harder for your hair follicles to complete this three-phase cycle. The results? Your hairs get stuck in the telogen phase. This is when they start falling out and stop regrowing, no matter what you try. This process doesn’t happen overnight, says Dr. Sears. “At first, your hair dries out, becoming brittle, thin, and harder to style. Then, you start finding hairs on your pillow and down the drain. Finally, you’re left with bald spots that age you prematurely.” Fortunately, Re-Nourish puts a stop to this. It revives the dead stem cells in your hair follicles and reactivates your hair’s three-phase cycle, triggering new growth in as little as 30 days — even in areas that’ve been balding for years.

Reawakens Dead Hair Follicles For years, scientists couldn’t figure out why hair follicle stem cells died. However, a study from the University of California finally found the answer., It has to do with T-cells — an important immune

cell in your body. The researchers discovered these T-cells are the only way to command hair follicles to grow new hair. More importantly, they showed that T-cells helped revive the stem cells in your hair follicles — spurring new growth, filling in bald spots and natural hairline. Re-Nourish uses a unique blend of all-natural ingredients. By spraying it on your hair once per day, scientific studies show you can revive dead stem cells and improve the appearance of thicker, fuller hair. For example, the key nutrient of Re-Nourish was tested on a group of severely balding women. After 6 months, nearly 70% of the women saw significant improvement in hair growth. Their hair was noticeably fuller, thicker, and healthier looking. Most exciting of all, they grew new hair on parts of their scalp that had been bald for years. In another study, Italian researchers gathered a group of both men and women with thinning hair and applied the core ingredient of Re-Nourish. After 12 weeks, they reported a staggering 74% increase in hair growth. “It’s really mind-boggling that my hair started growing back,” says Zan R., another Re-Nourish customer. With results like this, it’s no surprise that demand for Re-Nourish is soaring. Thousands of men and women are scrambling to get their hands on the limited-supply available. Re-Nourish is not currently available in any store at any price. But we’ve secured a small batch for our readers.

Hergott rallies Beechwood to dramatic state semiﬁ nal victory James Weber

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

In what has been a wide-open race for Kentucky Mr. Football this year, the Northern Kentucky nominee made his pitch on a wild night of state semifi nal games in Kentucky. Beechwood senior quarterback Cameron Hergott made a statement Friday night, leading the Tigers to a frenetic 35-34 win over West Carter in a Class 2A state semifi nal. Beechwood will play Lexington Christian in the state championship game Dec. 18 in Lexington. “All the excitement,” said Beechwood’s Brady Moore. “Everyone working so hard in the off season with COVID and all of that. It’s fi nally paying off , going to state. It’s a dream come true.” Hergott’s 34-yard touchdown pass to Moore, followed by a two-point pass play to Moore, gave Beechwood a 35-34 lead with 2:32 to go in the game. West Carter drove to the Beechwood 47, but a huge sack by junior Tanner Jackson on third down eff ectively ended the Comets’ chances. Hergott threw for two touchdowns in the fourth quarter and three for the game, and also rushed for two scores. His fi nal play punctuated a wild fourth quarter in which the teams scored two touchdowns apiece in a six-minute span. “That was the funnest game I’ve ever played,” Hergott said. “In the second half, we turned it up. We knew what we had to do. We just fought our tails off the whole time. It was great.” Hergott, who is uncommitted to college football yet but is getting Division I looks, is one of the leading candidates for Mr. Football in a year where most of the seniors who are committed to major college football programs play positions that normally don’t win Mr. Football. Hergott came into the game with more than 2,000 passing yards and 21 TDs, and 885 rushing yards and 12 scores. “Cameron Hergott, hands down, is absolutely incredible,”

said Beechwood head coach Noel Rash. “It’s that simple. If there’s a better player in the state, I have yet to see him. He is incredible.” Beechwood led 20-0 late in the fi rst half and turned the ball over deep in West Carter territory after the Tigers had a chance to take a four-touchdown lead. Unoffi cially, Hergott threw for 142 yards in the fi rst half and rushed for 36. Beechwood marched 53 yards from the opening kickoff . Hergott found Parker Mason wide open for a 26-yard touchdown three minutes into the game. Beechwood went 73 yards on its next drive, scoring with 1:33 to go in the fi rst quarter, and it was 14-0. On Beechwood’s next drive, Hergott found Liam McCormack open for a 42-yard gain to the WC 1. Hergott scored from there, and Beechwood led 20-0 with 10:43 to go in the fi rst half. Beechwood was in business again after Hergott found Mason for a 48-yard pass play to the WC 28. But the drive stalled from there. A Beechwood turnover led to a 20-minute delay for a serious injury to a West Carter player. West Carter took the momentum and scored with 1:33 to go in the half. Leetavious Cline, who had only 23 rushing yards to that point, had a couple of double-digit gains. WC took the second-half kickoff and scored within three minutes, as Perry hit his top target, Jackson Bond, for a 21yard score. WC then executed a surprise onside kick and recovered. The Comets went down and scored with seven minutes to go in the third quarter on a 3-yard run by Cline, who surpassed the 2,000-yard mark for the season during the drive. Cline, who set the school career rushing record last week against Walton-Verona, became the fi rst Comet to ever rush for 2,000 yards in a season. West Carter went for two after missing the PAT on the previous drive. Beechwood stuff ed Cline for a big loss, and the See BEECHWOOD, Page 2B

NewCath comes up short in Class 1A semi Shelby Dermer

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

JOHNSON COUNTY — Third-year head coach Stephen Lickert has authored Newport Central Catholic's return to being one of the top prep programs in Northern Kentucky. After a 10-win season in 2019 and a trip to the state quarterfi nals, Lickert led the Thoroughbreds to the doorstep of the Class 1A state championship game this fall. But Newport Central Catholic's bid to reach the state title game for the 15th time in program history — and 12th time this century — expired Friday night after a 21-7 loss to Paintsville in the Class 1A state semifi nals. Paintsville advances to the Class 1A state championship game for the second year in a row. The Tigers will face Kentucky Country Day — a 27-7 winner over Williamsburg Friday night — next at the University of Kentucky's Kroger Field. Paintsville is 0-3 all-time in state championship games, including a 43-0 loss to Pikeville last December. Newport Central Catholic was shut out in back-to-back weeks to end the regular season, but had back-to-back 40point outings in the playoff s leading up to Friday's road game. The Thoroughbreds' off ense got off to a hot start, going 80 yards on 11 plays on their opening possession behind quarterback Malaki Herndon. The senior was 3-for-3 on the drive on third down, including a 46-yard touchdown toss to running back Joey Runyon to give Newport Central Catholic a 7-0 lead with 1:03 left in the fi rst quarter. The success was short-lived, however, as Paintsville would notch a shutout the rest of the way. The Tigers have held eight of their 12 opponents under 18 points this season. Newport Central Catholic's fi nal six possessions resulted in three punts, a fumble, a turnover on downs and a missed 51yard fi eld goal at the end of the fi rst half. The diff erence was made in the trenches as Newport Central Catholic struggled to fi nd a running game, totaling just 39 yards. Meanwhile, the Tigers operated most of the night on the ground, running for 350 yards with its lethal three-headed monster in the backfi eld.

Newport Central Catholic running back Joey Runyon (22) had 102 yards from scrimmage, including a 46-yard touchdown catch, in the Thoroughbreds' 21-7 loss to Paintsville in the Class 1A state semiﬁ nals Friday, Dec. 11, 2020. JEFF DEAN FOR THE ENQUIRER

The leader was sophomore Harris Phelps, who ran for 200 yards on 27 carries and provided all of his team's scoring with three trips to the end zone. Luke Hyden added 75 yards on nine attempts and quarterback Karsten Poe ran 11 times for 50 yards. Phelps ran for a 37-yard touchdown early in the second quarter to tie it 7-7. With 8:06 left in the third, his 37-yard scoring scamper gave Paintsville a lead it would not relinquish. Newport Central Catholic was able to keep the game close with an opportunistic defense that capitalized on a few Paintsville missteps. The Tigers opened the game with a 92-yard drive, but Phelps fumbled into the end zone on fourth-and-goal and Newport Central Catholic junior linebacker Dom Morgan was See NEWCATH, Page 2B

PARK HILLS, Ky - On a rare, beautiful night for football in December, Covington Catholic had a miserable night. In a rematch of last year’s Kentucky 5A state semifi nal, Bowling Green avenged last season’s 28-0 loss by convincingly defeating the Colonels 20-0. It was the fi rst shutout of Covington Catholic since Moeller High School blanked them 39-0 six years ago. Senior Caleb Jacob fi nished a notable career with a night he would just as soon erase. The Colonels quarterback was intercepted fi ve times and had a fumble. Throwing for 10 touchdowns and running for 15 this season, he had trouble maneuvering the off ense against a tough Bowling Green defense that recorded its fourth shutout of the season. Jacob fi nished 16 for 37 passing for only 107 yards, while running for 50 yards. “You’ve got to give a lot of credit to them,” Colonels coach Eddie Eviston said. “We haven’t turned the ball over all that much this year. Anyone that knows football knows that if you turn the ball over that many times it’s going to be tough to win.” CovCath fi nishes 10-2 and the highlight of the season may be the fact that they even got a dozen games in given the coronavirus pandemic. Though a successful season, it’s the fi rst time the Colonels have lost more than one game since 2016’s 9-4 mark. Coach Eviston’s crew won state titles in 2017 and 2019 with unblemished records and were 2018 runners-up with just one loss. “They were fortunate to play,” Eviston said. “High school football is the greatest thing. These guys are feeling it. They had a heck of a run. I always had confi dence we were going to play a season. The fact that we were able to get this many games in and get to the fourth round of the playoff s, that’s fantastic really.” Bowling Green is 9-2 heading to the state fi nal with their only losses being to powerhouse Louisville Trinity and South Warren, the 5A 2018 champ. Bowling Green later defeated South Warren in round two of the playoff s. Quarterback Connor Cooper ran for two Purples touchdowns sandwiched around a score from running back Javeius Bunton. Cooper fi nished with 123 yards on the ground, while Bunton, whom Cov Cath held down last year, rattled off 149 yards. Dylan Echols led Bowling Green’s defense with three interceptions. The Purples held the Colonels to 100 yards on the ground and kept them completely out of the red zone. “That was all God right there,” Echols said. “I was able to make plays for my teammates and I was happy to do that.” See COVCATH, Page 2B

Quarterback Caleb Jacob and Covington Catholic saw an impressive season end in the state semiﬁ nals to Bowling Green, which the Colonels beat in last season's state semiﬁ nals. GEOFF BLANKENSHIP/ FOR THE ENQUIRER

After Covington Catholic was forced to punt on its opening possession, Bowling Green struck quickly with Connor Cooper reeling off a 72-yard touchdown run down the right sideline. That would be the only score of the quarter as the Colonels couldn’t sniff the positive side of the 50-yard line. Following an interception by Dylan Echols at the 23-yard line in the second frame, it looked like the Purples would pounce again. Cooper ran to the 2-yard line but fumbled with Ryan Schneider recovering. CovCath couldn’t capitalize but on defense used an Owen Nally interception to snuff out a Purples drive. It didn’t last long as Jacob was shortly picked off by Rece Jones. That led to a one-yard touchdown run by Javeius Buron. A two-point try failed but the Purples led by two scores. The Colonels did cross the 50-yard line in the third quarter as a Ryan Schneider run got them as close as the 34, their best position of the night. But, the Purples defense pulled off another stop and CovCath had to punt. A second interception by Bowling Green’s Echols was returned for a score, but there was a block in the back. Cooper eventually ran the ball in from

there for the recovery. Late in the fi rst half, NewCath's Buddy Atkins intercepted Poe at the Thoroughbreds' 38. After a muff ed Newport Central Catholic punt in the third quarter, Paintsville was on the doorstep of extending its lead to double digits, but a bobbled snap on a 33-yard fi eld goal attempt resulted in a turnover on downs to keep the Thoroughbreds within a score. Herndon, who fi nished 9-of-18 for 125 yards, hit wide receiver Quentin

Tigers led 20-19 going into the ﬁ nal quarter. Cline, who had over 150 yards on the night, scored from 14 yards out with 8:32 to go in the game. The Comets scored a two-pointer and led 27-20. “They got physical with us in the second half and we struggled defensively, but our oﬀ ense was spot on,” said Rash. Beechwood came right back as Hergott launched a bomb to McCormack. The tall, lanky sophomore leaped in the end zone to beat a defender who was draped all over him. McCormack appeared to bobble the ball momentarily but held on for a 34-

the 4-yard line to give the Purples a 20point cushion. In the fourth, Echols would add a third pick of Jacob which might as well have been the ﬁ nal straw. With just under a minute left, CovCath turned the ball over on downs and the Purple pack on the visiting side began to celebrate. “It’s a great opportunity to make history, that’s what we’re doing,” Echols said. “We wanted to make history and beat a team we’ve never beaten.” Bowling Green advances to the state title game on 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 19 vs. either Frederick Douglass or Owensboro at Kroger Field in Lexington.

Meyer for 23 yards on the ﬁ nal play of the third quarter to move into Paintsville territory. NewCath would reach the Paintsville 32, but Herndon's fourth-down pass fell incomplete. The Tigers would respond with a 10-play, 68-yard drive of all runs that chewed up over six minutes of clock. Phelps' 11-yard jolt with 3:06 remaining sealed Paintsville's return to Lexington.

yard touchdown. Colin Graman’s PAT tied it at 27 with 6:58 to go. “McCormack, you throw the ball up to that kid, and he’ll catch it over anybody,” Hergott said. “He’s unbelievable. Brady Moore runs great routes. They all do: Parker Mason, Mitchell Berger. They’re awesome. They’re the best receiving corps I’ve ever had.” West Carter took the lead less than two minutes later, when Perry found the speedy Jackson Bond wide open over the middle for a 31-yard touchdown. The PAT made it 34-27. Beechwood started at the 50 after Bomani Hughes returned a squib kick. Hergott had two runs of 5 and 9 yards, then a 9-yard pass to Berger to set up ﬁ rst and 10 at the Comets 34. Hergott launched a long pass to Moore, who caught it at the pylon near the sideline to pull Beechwood within

one at 34-33. “They were in press overage, so I knew I had to go outside,” Moore said. “Cam trusted me and he threw a great ball.” Beechwood went for two. Hergott dropped back and had to elude a pair of tacklers. He spun and briefl y touched his hand to the turf before rolling out to his right and fi nding Moore in the back of the end zone for the winning points. The play call was made well in advance of the moment. “With fi ve minutes left to go when we got the ball back, we made a decision then,” Rash said. “We’re going for two. I told them to have a play ready. The offensive staff had said that’s what they wanted to do. Cam improvised a little bit. The guys have to keep moving, they can’t stand still. Cam has that great ath-

leticism that kept him in the play, and he was able to make the throw late.” Said Hergott: “I had to do something on my own because the guys weren’t open and I had to get them open. My guys got open for me and I delivered the ball. It was awesome.” Said Moore: “That was a great play by Cam. He was scrambling around, buying time for us to get open, and he threw another perfect pass.” Beechwood 14 6 0 15-35 West Carter 0 7 12 15-34 B – Mason 26 pass from Hergott (Graman kick) B – Hergott 1 run (Graman kick) B – Hergott 1 run (kick failed) W – McGlone 27 pass from Perry (Wolfe kick) W – Bond 21 pass from Perry (kick failed) W – Cline 3 run (run failed) W – Cline run (Bond pass from Perry) B – McCormack 34 pass from Hergott (Graman kick) W – Bond 31 pass from Perry (Wolfe kick) B – Moore 34 pass from Hergott (Moore pass from Hergott) Records: B 9-2, WC 10-2

Northern Kentucky girl scout nationally honored for saving life Girl Scouts of Kentucky’s Wilderness Road (GSKWR) Ambassador Girl Scout, Ms. Ashlynne Wind of Ludlow, Kentucky, is one of a handful of Kentucky girls to ever receive a GSUSA Life Saving Medal of Honor for saving a young girl from drowning. Girl Scouts have been honored since 1913 for deeds that help save lives. The Medal of Honor Lifesaving Awards are reserved for those Girl Scouts who have performed acts of heroism beyond the degree of maturity and training expected for their age. In the fall of 2019, Ashlynne an American Red-Cross Certifi ed Lifeguard, then age 17, jumped into action when a 7-year-old girl at the Ludlow Bromley Swim Club slipped into the deep end and began to take on water. Ashlynne saved the drowning girl from the deep end of the pool and, due to her eff orts, the girl survived without injury. Now a graduating senior, Ashlynne exemplifi ed not only in this instance, but throughout her entire Girl Scouting experience, a dedication in service to others. “As a Council, we are full of pride and excitement that one of our own Girl Scouts, Ashlynne Wind, has received this prestigious national honor. We are even more proud of the confi dence and fearlessness Ashlynne exhibited when faced with this crisis moment. Ashlynne’s story of heroism is a key example of how Girl Scouts are at the service of others, regardless of the situation, always acting with courage, confi dence and character,” said Susan Douglas, CEO, GSKWR. Ashlynne has been recognized nationally with a certifi cate from the Chief Executive Offi cer of Girl Scouts of the United States (GSUSA) and a Medal of Honor pin.

The Point/Arc named Best Adult Residential Care Home The Point/Arc was voted, Best Adult Residential Care Home and Outreach program in the inaugural Greater Cincinnati Nonprofi t of the Year Awards. The announcement was recently made by Judi Gerding, President and Founder of The Point/Arc. The award was conducted by Cincinnati Magazine which asked readers to nominate and vote for their favorite nonprofi ts. “This will certainly give us the needed exposure to cultivate parents and families who can benefi t from any or all of the programs we off er,” Gerding said. The Point – formerly NKAR – was charted June 6, 1972, when two parent groups from Campbell and Kenton Counties merged. “We created our Mission – to provide opportunities to individuals with an intellectual/developmental disability to reach their highest potentials educationally, residentially, socially and vocationally,” Gerding said. The Point off ers fi ve unique education programs – formerly held in fi ve separate locations. “In an eff ort to expand and bring all programs in one location, we had dedication of our new 9,000 squarefoot Zembrodt Education Center on March 11,” Gerding said. The Point will purchase their 15th residentially inclusive property this month. “We have independent living – two apartments, nine traditional homes and three exceptional care homes,” she said. The Point also off ers the only overnight respite home in Northern Kentucky. And perhaps the proudest statement Gerding has made since the pandemic hit in March: “We have not laid-off one full-time employee. Our programs continue because of our donors and dedicated Pointy staff .” -The Point Andy Furman, The Point/Arc

Big Blue Goals can help improve your health in 2021 “A goal is a dream with a deadline” said American author Napoleon Hill. Writing down or setting a deadline for a goal gives you something to work toward – and celebrate when it is achieved. Goals can be as simple as getting to work on time if you are habitually Mason late or as complex as saving money to purchase a new home for the family. Little or small, all goals are important. The New Year is when many of us decide to make changes to improve our minds and bodies.

Tony’s love of puzzles runs in the family. ‘‘My father was a big crossword solver, and as a teen, I would look over his shoulder and help.’’ Tony once made a Puns and Anagrams crossword for his dad. ‘‘He loved it and made me one in return.’’ By ‘‘my father,’’ incidentally, Tony means the actor Jerry Orbach of Broadway and television fame. — W.S.

Men’s Virility Restored in Clinical Trial; 275% More Blood Flow in 5 Minutes A newly improved version of America’s best-selling male performance enhancer gives 70-year-old men the ability and stamina they enjoyed in their 30’s. Realtor Donna Deaton at open hous in West Chester RANDY TUCKER/ ENQUIRER MEDIA

Re/Max: Cincinnati market homes sell the fastest in the USA Alexander Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

If you own a house in Greater Cincinnati and you want to sell it quickly, you’re in luck: Homes here are the fastest-selling in the nation, lasting less than three weeks on the market. Homes put up for sale spent a mere 18 days in October from its ﬁ rst listing to a contract signing in Cincinnati – less than half the 38-day average nationwide and faster than No. 2 Boise, Idaho, at 20 days and Nashville, Tennessee, at 21 days, according to the Re/Max National Housing Report. Cincinnati also had the third-highest increase in sales price at 20.4%, behind Augusta, Maine, and Tulsa, Oklahoma. All but four of 52 metro areas saw double-digit gains in year-over-year sales prices. There were no decreases. Homesellers in the region – and the rest of the country – are beneﬁ tting from a spike in demand at the same time fewer people are selling their homes in 2020, which pinches the supply. The results: h The number of homes sold are up 12.9% in Cincinnati and 20.8% nationwide from a year ago. h The median price for homes sold is up 20.4% to $218,000 locally, while it rose 15.4% to $295,000 nationally. h The number of homes for sales is

down 34.4% to 3,076 (a drop of nearly 1,500) and the national inventory of homes for sale is down 32.5%. “Despite COVID, the recent presidential election and traditional fall slowdown, buyers are still very active in Cincinnati and the surrounding areas,” said Donna Deaton, managing vice president of Re/Max Victory. The supply of homes for sale has dropped to an all-time low in the 13 years Re/Max has been compiling the report. Shutdowns early this year appear to have pushed peak buying season into the fall, Re/Max offi cials said. In addition to low-interest rates, Re/ Max offi cials said the pandemic may have also spurred demand as buyers decided they wanted additional home attributes, such as more outdoor space or an extra room that can function as an offi ce. Continued working from home may have also given some buyers more fl exibility with less need to be close to their place of work. “The short turnaround times are telling, too. Buyers are ready to act as soon as they see the right home,” said Adam Contos, CEO of Re/Max Holdings, adding the sellers’ market could spur more homeowners to put their properties on the market. “Sellers who want to get through the process quickly, without having to move much on price, have a great opportunity to do so right now.”
