‘Red flag’ cargo, a sleeping pilot New details in 2019 barge crash Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Rock star renovates, moves into longtime Mexican restaurant Chris Varias | Special to Cincinnati Enquirer | USA TODAY NETWORK

A husband from Troy, Ohio, and a wife from Alexandria have returned from the West Coast to continue the colorful legacy of a building on East Seventh Street in Newport. Levi Benton, lead singer of the rock band Miss May I, and Jojo Benton, a band manager whose clients include Breaking Benjamin and In Flames, are living in a home that was once the longtime location of the Newport Mexican restaurant, Sylvia’s. Levi recently removed the tool belt and picked up a phone to discuss the couple’s rehab project. Question: When did you buy the house? Answer: In 2019, and we moved in last August. We’re still working on it now. It’s definitely like a three-year project. It wasn’t livable until a year into it. But right when we got plumbing and a toilet, we moved in. Q: From where did you move? A: West Hollywood, California. Q: Why did you move from West Hollywood to Newport? A: I’ve been obsessed with real estate the last four, five years of touring. I got my (Realtors) license in California. I was reading all these books and always interested in getting an opportunity like this. And then my wife became pregnant, and we were talking about moving home. And then I was flying back to do the Flying Pig (marathon), and I was just screwing around on my app, and I found this place. It was listed commercial. It wasn’t listed residential. I was like, let’s check this out. We walked in, and we fell in love. Q: Did you do the half or the full marathon? A: The full. That was my first full marathon. I don’t know if I’ll do it again. Q: Why did a commercial property appeal to you? A: We were sort of priced out where we wanted to be, and the stuff that was in our price range wasn’t really in our desirable areas, so I started getting creative. The weird thing about this place was it was on the market for just shy of a year, and it only had like 150 hits on the website from a whole year. I called the agent, and the agent even forgot that she had it listed, because no one was interested in it. Everything was lining up that this could be a good deal. Nobody’s paying attention. Q: What year was it built?

In October 2019, something odd happened on the Ohio River. A 1,200-foot towboat/barge combination carrying rock, sand and gravel crashed into the Ludlow-Bromley Yacht Club. It ripped the restaurant and marina in half, struck and dragged boats, and sent umbrellas, tables and chairs floating down the river. The Coast Guard said in a report months later that the towboat pilot, asleep at the controls, caused the collision. The floating club is still closed, according to the club’s website. Instead, the owners posted on Facebook to ask customers to visit them on land, across the street at The Lagoon Saloon. The Enquirer obtained revelatory investigative files about the crash through a public records request with the Coast Guard. Among the new details: h This crash wasn’t the first time that particular pilot had fallen asleep at the controls. h The crash caused $450,000 in damage. h A flammable chemical was on board. The chemical, styrene, has created worry in Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati because of a 2005 leak and a more recent proposal to store the chemical in a neighborhood. A University of Kentucky chemistry expert told The Enquirer a styrene spill off of a barge likely would have evaporated with little harm – but added it “could have been a fire hazard” if a massive amount spewed out “very quickly.” Fourteen months after the crash, the Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley was still investigating. As such, the Coast Guard denied parts of The Enquirer’s records request and is refusing to release the name of the pilot involved. However, the Coast Guard did tell The Enquirer in an emailed statement the pilot’s license has been suspended as punishment.

What happened?

A: 1890. Q: The building looks like a house, not a restaurant. Was it residential up until it became Sylvia’s? A: Yes. I know there was a seamstress here before it was a restaurant. It became Sylvia’s Mexican restaurant in 1981. When we got in here, it was sort of broken into multi-families. The plumbing showed evidence of that, so I think before her, it was apartments. We’ve talked to Sylvia’s family. She’s still alive. We’re trying to get in touch, because the bathroom is all designed for her. It’s like an ode to Sylvia. It’s all the trinkets we’ve found of hers and all the news articles, because she’s had a crazy past. So the main floor’s bathroom is a Sylvia shrine.

Before the sunrise illuminated the Cincinnati skyline early in the morning on October 2, 2019, a towboat pushed 15 barges up the Ohio River. Barges are cabled together into a tow, which can be longer than three football fields, according to the National Park Service. The group of barges was on its way to Bellaire, Ohio, across the Ohio River from Benwood, West Virginia. The towboat was named Dale Artigue. Operated by Florida Marine Transport, it veered from the center of the river toward Kentucky’s riverbank, according to a video animation from the Coast Guard. As it inched toward the bank, the depth reader shot from 30 feet of water to just 9.2 feet, the video shows. An alarm alerted the crew to the shallow water. That’s what woke the pilot, who told investigators he didn’t

OSHP: Intoxicated driver hits Alexandria officer, leads high-speed chase across river Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

An Alexandria police officer suffered minor injuries after being struck by a vehicle police said was driven by an intoxicated woman. Police said the woman led officers on a chase at speeds of more than 125 mph overnight on both sides of the Ohio River. That’s according to a news release from the Ohio State Highway Patrol, which said troopers from its Batavia and

at speeds in excess of 125 miles per hour and used all three lanes of the interstate as it was moving through traffic,” the release said. Stop sticks deployed as the vehicle entered Hamilton County did not stop Knipper, the release said, and she exited onto Montgomery Road and resumed fleeing south. The release said she drove through a parking lot and then north on Montgomery Road, where police stopped her after she entered another parking lot.

Officers with the Miami Township Police Department and the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Office also were involved in the pursuit, the release said. The release said Knipper was found to be under the influence and taken to the Clermont County Jail after being treated for minor injuries. She is being held without bond on charges of driving under the influence, reckless operation, failure to comply, driving under suspension, not wearing a seatbelt, identity fraud and forgery.

Emergency personnel responded to boats adrift in the Ohio River after a barge struck the Ludlow Bromley Yacht Club in Ludlow on Oct. 2, 2019. The barge crashed into the Ludlow Bromley Yacht Club restaurant and several boats at the marina. ALBERT CESARE AND PHIL DIDION/ HE ENQUIRER

Not much, Anthony told The Enquirer in an emailed statement. The chemical would have caused a fire hazard if a massive amount was dumped out “very quickly,” he wrote. But even then, the chemical would have evaporated quickly and blown “away in the wind,” because of its low boiling point, Anthony said. He predicted first responders would have evacuated the area until the spill had been cleaned up. That’s what happened in August 2005 when the substance leaked from a rail car near Cincinnati’s East End. It forced a three-day evacuation within a mile of the leak. The companies involved in that instance, Indiana and Ohio Railway Company and the Westlake Chemical Corporation, paid the city of Cincinnati $400,000 in a settlement and $2 million to families. “Of the things a barge could spill, styrene would not be at the top of my worry list,” Anthony said in the emailed statement.

Lebanon posts were notified of the pursuit about midnight Feb. 25. The release said the woman, 31-yearold Chelsea Knipper, fled from Alexandria police officers who made contact with her after they got a report of a suspicious person parked in a lot. Knipper reportedly had arrest warrants and fled the scene after striking an officer, the release said. The release said troopers joined the pursuit on Interstate 275 in Clermont County’s Union Township. “The suspect vehicle was traveling

know how long he had been asleep. He had slept five hours before taking over the controls, which was typical, he told investigators, when pressed about why he fell asleep. The tow steered left, away from the riverbank. You know what happened next. At 6:04 a.m., a Ludlow Bromley Yacht Club employee called in the crash.

The sleepy pilot “I think you know what happened. I nodded off,” the pilot told investigators. In December 2019, the Coast Guard said the cause of the crash was due to the pilot falling asleep at the controls. New records obtained by The Enquirer show the pilot told investigators that had happened before, but alarms had woken him up before anything happened in the past. In November 2020, the Coast Guard suspended the pilot’s Merchant Mariner Credential, a passport-style book with evidence of the mariner’s qualifications, for one month, the Coast Guard told The Enquirer in an emailed statement. The pilot will remain on probation until June 2021. That’s when the Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley investigation will end, too. “The pilot had the option to use one or both of the deckhands as a lookout but choose not to,” the investigative file said.

The deckhands were not punished, the Coast Guard said in its statement. The name of the pilot was redacted from the files. And the Coast Guard said it will not release the name.

Is styrene dangerous? Styrene was on board – the same flammable chemical that caused a Cincinnati neighborhood to shelter in place in 2005. More recently, a group of Northern Kentucky neighbors worried it would be stored near their homes. A carcinogen and flammable chemical, styrene can be fatal if it’s inhaled. It can damage organs, inflame lungs and

make it hard to breathe. In the Coast Guard documents, the chemical was labeled as “red flag” cargo. That means the tank must be inspected, it can’t be heated and it can’t be near heated cargo, the Coast Guard told The Enquirer. There are also regulations pilots must follow when styrene is on board. The records did not say if navigational regulations contributed to the pilot’s suspension. The Enquirer asked University of Kentucky chemistry expert John Anthony what would have happened to the styrene on the barge if it hit land instead of the yacht club.

Renovation Continued from Page 1A

We heard Sylvia’s got started because she used to cater food to all the dancers at the Brass Ass way back in the day, and the dancers loved her food so much that the family who owns the Brass Ass gave her the opportunity to open her own restaurant. And she used to be a snake charmer on the circuit. It’s crazy. These are legends I have heard from people walking by. It has been really interesting. Any time the door was open, someone would just walk in and be like, “I remember this place,” and just tell us a story. Another interesting one is she had a pet cougar upstairs. Some of the articles we’re putting up in our bathroom is – she had a cougar. The news article is a picture of her and her big cougar in front of the house, and it’s because it got loose. Wooden Cask Brewery, which is next to us, used to be a taxi place. The taxi driver tracked down the cougar, because it was jumping from roof to roof from all the buildings. (The headline of the July 3, 1987, Enquirer story read: “Cougar wanders rooftops.”) Another crazy thing that was a mystery of the house was, down in the basement, there were toilet and shower lines. And the basement has a really shallow ceiling. Come to find out, we were at a city event, people were telling us that she helped and sheltered illegals in the basement. They said at one point there were like 15 people living down there. They never got busted. And if you look up the address, she had

some drug busts and a brothel bust here at this address. That shut them down a couple times. We want to meet her. In the floorboards, we found a bunch of matchboxes that say “Sylvia’s, hottest place in town” and has our address. They’re in great condition. We want to give her back some, and see if we can get some menus from her, and just show her the house now. Q: How much money have you put into the place? A: We bought it for $140,000, and we’ve put about $140,000 into it. Q: Do you play music in the house? A: In the back of the building, there’s an addition on a concrete slab. That’s

where they put their kitchen for the restaurant. It’s just sort of an additional building attached to the house. We soundproofed it. Because it’s detached from the house, it’s like double-soundproofed. That’s where Jojo has her drums, and I think Miss May I is moving all of our rehearsal stuff here. Yeah, it’s just like a separate music building/ room in the back of our house. Q: Does the rest of the band live here? A: Most of them still live in Troy, our hometown. Ryan (Neff), our bass player, lives in Columbus. Q: Miss May I has more than a million likes on Facebook. Are you worried that, after fans read this, they

will be hanging outside your house to hear the band rehearse? A: No. If so, that’s awesome. The thing about being in a metal band, our fans are pretty cool. If we were in a pop band, it might be different. There might be little girls screaming and freaking out. We just have big metal guys. It’s usually a fist bump and a head nod. They’re pretty tame. We’ve already had some fans take pictures of the house and find it over social media. I feel like our fans have grown up with us. Our success started when I was in high school. The weird thing is they’re all homeowners now, and my social media has sort of turned into this normal metal singer guy flipping this house. I’m getting more messages now posting about home-renovation stuff than I was a new album. Q: Where are you guys with a new album or tour plans? A: We’ve been in the studio. We went to New Jersey in October and November, and we finished a new album. We’re sitting on a new album, and for the first time ever, because of no touring, there’s no schedule, so we’re just enjoying the break until things get crazy. We do have a European tour with Bury Tomorrow and August Burns Red in November, but tours around that area of time are already getting canceled. I’m not holding my breath on it. It’s already moved three times. It’s going to happen. I just don’t know when it’s going to happen. We’ve been touring for 10 years, so to be honest, it’s been a really nice change of pace, the break. We’ve always wanted a break, but it doesn’t really work like that in music.

St. Patrick’s Day: ‘We celebrate this humble saint with not-so-humble revelry’ Dublin coddle

Instructions

The recipe called for Irish back bacon and regular large pork sausages. All I had was thick sliced bacon and sweet Italian sausages.

Preheat oven to 425.

The stew was still yummy. So use whatever bacon and sausages you have. I used red potatoes and yellow onions. Again, whatever you have on hand works. A bit more, or less, of any ingredient is OK. Ingredients

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

How are you going to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? Regardless of your ethnicity (even I’m a bit Irish on St. Pat’s Day!), St. Patrick’s Day is a day of fun and joy of all things Irish. And green. St. Patrick was a real person who died in the late 5th century AD. The Patron saint of Ireland, St. Patrick had a significant role in the spreading of Christianity to his homeland. We celebrate this humble saint with not so humble revelry. With this pandemic still in force, I’m not sure how the celebrations will go, but I do know this: food will be a huge part. I hope you try and like the recipe I’m sharing today: Dublin coddle. It’s traditional Irish comfort food with credit to Dublin. It’s not a fancy stew, either. I

Add sausages. Raise heat a bit and cook until sausages start to brown. Careful not to burn onions. Make 2 layers in oven-proof pan or casserole: Layer onions, bacon and sausage in bottom.

2 nice yellow onions, thinly sliced, 4 cups or so

Top with layer of carrots and potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.

6 oz. thick or regular bacon, cut into ⁄2” pieces (4 thick slices)

Repeat, then pour broth over all.

1 pound sausage, large links preferred, cut in halves

Cover and cook in oven 45 minutes. If it needs a bit more liquid, add a little water, not too much.

2 largish carrots, peeled and sliced thin

gussied mine up with a garnish of parsley and wild green onions for the “green” part of the stew. Dublin coddle gets its name from the stew’s cooking process. Start the stew on the stovetop and “coddle/cook” it slowly in the oven to finish. The story goes that back in the day, the stew was left simmering on the stove until the man of the house came home from the pub. Obviously long after the family had gone to bed! As you celebrate St. Pat’s Day, here’s an old Irish poem and my wish for you and yours: “May there always be work for your hands to do, May your purse always hold a coin or two. May the sun always shine warm on your windowpane. May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain. May the hand of a friend always be near you, and may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.”

Add bacon and stir.

Olive oil

Dublin coddle garnished with parsley and wild onions.

Film bottom of large skillet or pan with oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook until slightly wilted, about 5 minutes.

4 cups potatoes, peeled and sliced about 1⁄4” thick

Reduce heat to 350 and cook another 20-30 minutes, covered or not (I left mine uncovered), until vegetables are cooked and stew is bubbling.

Salt and pepper

Garnish as desired.

2 cups beef broth (I used 14.5 oz. can and added water)

Serve with soda bread.

Stew ready for oven.

Serves 4.

Stew cooked in oven.

Pinnell gets Rolling Stone attention for Concrete Blonde cover Chris Varias Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

It was a recording that Jeremy Pinnell did not want to package, but in the end it went from his phone to Rolling Stone. When COVID-19 sidelined Pinnell and his road band and left him stuck at home, he took out his mobile device, worked up a version of the 1990 Concrete Blonde hit “Joey,” and pressed record. Pinnell posted a video of the performance on Instagram, and it quickly notched thousands of views. He would have been happy to leave it there, but friends and business associates talked him into taking it down and cleaning up the audio. Longtime collaborator Mike Montgomery mastered it at his Candyland Recording Studio in Dayton, Kentucky. And now, Pinnell has his viral single for these viral times. He talked about the attention it has received and provided an update on his plans to return to the stage. Q: What were you doing at this time last year? A: We were on tour, and we were in Austin recording our record ... and the same week, we came back home. ... that Monday is when they shut the country down and asked everybody to stay home. We had two tours booked a month out and a month after that. We were pretty much booked through half the year and we just slowly started having to cancel everything. The way we were paying for the record was touring. We were being a self-suﬃ cient, working band. That’s all we were doing, was playing music. I don’t think reality set in 'til towards the end of the year. We were like, yeah, we probably won’t be doing nothing for two years. Q: What happened to the record? A: We’re going to release an album this year, but we haven’t made a big deal about it. We got the record. (Local record label) SofaBurn reached out and said, if you want to do the record with us, we’ll do everything we can to help. I think that’s great that they’ve doubledowned during the pandemic to really help artists, especially local artists and musicians. Q: Do you have a release date? A: We do not. I know we want to release some singles this year. We’ve got some cool stuﬀ to put out we’ve been working on while we’ve had some down time. Q: Do you have a name for it? A: Yeah, the album’s going to be called “Goodbye L.A.” Q: Why “Goodbye L.A.?” A: The title track is called “Goodbye L.A.” It’s just a song that I wrote while we were playing a show in L.A. one night, and we were leaving, and there was a bunch of pretty girls outside the concert venue. We were all just joking around, and I made the comment, “they don’t want babies.” Just, like, stupid, you know? Like saying, in L.A., the girls are pretty but they don’t want to have babies. Something stupid. So I came up with

Jeremy Pinnell PROVIDED

the line, “Goodbye L.A., you got some pretty ladies, but they don’t have babies, but I do.” And I wrote the song, and it’s one of my most favorite songs I’ve written in the last couple years. Q: Why did you make the record in Austin? A: My buddy Scottie Diablo in L.A. hooked me up. I reached out to him. The guy who produced the album, Jonathan Tyler, produced Nikki Lane’s “Highway Queen” record. Sonically, that record sounded so good.

I was like, “how do you know that that’s the right thing to put in that part of the song?” So I reached out to Scottie, and he hooked me up with Johnathan. Jonathan lives in Austin. Q: Is “Joey” on this record? A: It is not. I thought it was a bad idea to release that single. I was like, that’s stupid. Why would you release something you recorded on your phone in the house? And it’s got like over 10,000 streams already on Spotify. Rolling Stone wrote a little about it, which they were real nice. Q: What drew you to that song? A: I’ve always liked that song. I don’t know about you, but that was always a go-to I would play at the bar on the jukebox. Q: What does it mean to you? Is it romantic? Is it a song of friendship? It’s a woman singing it to, I assumed, a guy named Joey. Maybe it’s a girl named Joey. Have you thought about the roles and the meaning when you’re singing it? A: I think the song’s pretty obvious, right? You’re dealing with someone who’s drinking, or dealing with drinking and addiction. I think I’ve been on both sides of the spectrum. I’ve been the person drinking, and I’ve also been the person in a relationship with someone who’s drinking. I can kind of see both sides. You can tell when she’s singing it. You’re like, this ain’t no joke. It’s not a story. It’s a real-life situation, and I’ve always connected with that. Q: Have you charted out how the next six or 12 or 18 months are going to go for you? A: Yes, in a way. We’ve got some plans, but we don’t know how that’s going to go. Fauci was saying something like concerts in October or November maybe. And then a month after that, everyone’s like, wear double masks now. Nobody really knows anything. I got a job working for a construction outﬁ t here in town. I don’t know what to do. Just hurry up and wait. We’ll release some singles and see what happens.

“It’s a miracle these State Restricted Bank Rolls even exist. That’s why Hotline Operators are bracing for the flood of calls,” said Laura Lynne, U.S. Coin and Currency Treasurer for the National Mint and Treasury. For the next 2 days the last remaining State of Kentucky Restricted Bank Rolls loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties are actually being handed over to Kentucky residents who call the National Toll-Free Hotlines listed in today’s newspaper publication. “I recently spoke with a retired Treasurer of the United States of America who said ‘In all my years as Treasurer I’ve only ever seen a handful of these rarely seen Silver Walking Liberties issued by the U.S. Gov’t back in the early 1900’s. But to actually find them sealed away in State Restricted Bank Rolls still in pristine condition is like finding buried treasure. So anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these Bank Rolls had better hold on to them,’” Lynne said. “Now that the State of Kentucky Restricted Bank Rolls are being offered up we won’t be surprised if thousands of Kentucky residents claim the maximum limit allowed of 4 Bank Rolls per resident before they’re all gone,” said Lynne. “That’s because the dates and mint marks of the U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars sealed away inside the State of Kentucky Restricted Bank Rolls have never been searched. But, we do know that some of these coins date clear back to the early 1900’s and are worth up to 100 times their face value, so there is no telling what Kentucky residents will find until they sort through all the coins,” Lynne went on to say. And here’s the best part. If you are a resident of the state of Kentucky you cover only the $39 per coin state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury, that’s fifteen rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties worth up to 100 times their face value for just $585 which is a real steal because non state residents must pay $118 per coin which totals $1,770 if any coins remain after the 2-day deadline. The only thing Kentucky residents need to do is call the National Toll-Free Hotlines printed in today’s newspaper publication before the 2-day order deadline ends. “Rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued silver coins like these are highly sought after, but we’ve never seen anything like this before. According to The Official Red Book, a Guide Book of United States Coins many Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars are now worth $115 - $825 each in collector value,” Lynne said. “So just imagine how much these last remaining, unsearched State of Kentucky Restricted Bank Rolls could be worth someday. Remember, these are not ordinary coins – these rarely seen coins date clear back to the early 1900’s. In fact, these coins have been forever retired by the U.S. Gov’t, and you can’t get them rolled this way anywhere because these are the

JACKPOT: Imagine finding the 1919D Silver Walking Liberty shown above worth thousands of dollars in collector value in one of these unsearched Bank Rolls. There are never any guarantees, but Kentucky residents who get their hands on these State Restricted Bank Rolls will be the really lucky ones because even more common coins are still worth up to $115 $825 in collector value.

VALUABLE: It’s like a treasure hunt - there’s no telling what you’ll find. That’s because the dates and mint marks of the fifteen U.S. Gov’t issued coins sealed away inside these State of Kentucky Restricted Bank Rolls have never been searched. All we know is some of the coins are worth up to 100 times their face value.

only State Restricted Bank Rolls known to exist,” said Lynne. “We’re guessing thousands of Kentucky residents will be taking the maximum limit of 4 Bank Rolls because they make such amazing gifts for any occasion for children, parents, grandparents, friends and loved ones,” Lynne continued. “We know the phones will be ringing off the hook. That’s why

hundreds of Hotline Operators are standing by to answer the phones beginning at 8:30am this morning. We’re going to do our best, but with just 2 days to answer all the calls it won’t be easy. So make sure to tell everyone to keep calling if all lines are busy. We’ll do our best to answer them all,” Lynne said. “That’s why the National Mint and Treasury set up the Nation-

al Toll-Free Hotlines in order to make sure Kentucky residents get the State Restricted Bank Rolls before they’re all gone,” she said. The only thing readers of today’s newspaper publication need to do is make sure they are a resident of the state of Kentucky and call the National Toll-Free Hotlines before the 2-day deadline ends midnight tomorrow. ■

IMPORTANT: The dates and mint marks of the U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties sealed away inside the State of Kentucky Restricted Bank Rolls have never been searched. Coin values always fluctuate and they are never any guarantees, but any of the scarce coins shown below, regardless of their value that residents may find inside the sealed Bank Rolls are theirs to keep.

Three marriages: Kentucky is among the top states for triple wedlock Emma Austin Louisville Courier Journal USA TODAY NETWORK

Kentucky residents are joining the ranks of Hollywood’s biggest stars — not by acting in movies, but for being married multiple times. According to a study by Magnifymoney.com, Kentucky ranks No. 7 for the highest percentage of people who have been married at least three times. About 6% of Kentuckians have been married at least three times, according to the study. That’s just over 268,000 people. Also ranking in the top 10 were Kentucky neighbors Tennessee and West Virginia, where 6.7% and 5.9% of their populations have tied the knot three or more times, respectively. Taking the No. 1 spot, with nearly 8% of its residents having three or more

marriages under their belts, was Arkansas. States with the fewest triple newlyweds were New York, New Jersey and Massachuetts, all tied with 1.4% of their population ﬁ tting the criteria. The study, which used data from the U.S. Census Bureau, also found that the cost of a wedding may impact whether someone gets married multiple times. In New Jersey, the average wedding costs $36,700. In Arkansas, the average cost is $14,500. Kentucky couples spend $19,878 on average for their weddings, according to The Knot. The nation’s average cost is $26,770. So if you do end up getting married more than once, and your parents aren’t going to chip in this time, it makes ﬁ nancial sense to live in the South.

Kentucky General Assembly: Brent Spence Bridge, funding for wetlands, cannabis research and more marijuana deﬁ nition, establish labeling requirements for cannabinoid products and create the Kentucky Center for Cannabis Research at the University of Kentucky.

Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Northern Kentucky state lawmakers have been busy in Frankfort. The region’s 13 lawmakers ﬁ led reams of legislation before the recent deadline for new bills. Whatever made it in before the Feb. 23 deadline will be considered by lawmakers before the session ends in March. The Enquirer reviewed dozens of bills ﬁ led by the region’s lawmakers that addressed human cremation, elections, marijuana, healthcare, and more. Here’s what your lawmakers are up to:

Human cremation

Gas tax prompted Brent Spence Bridge discussions Everyone knows the Brent Spence Bridge is functionally obsolete because it’s carrying more cars than it was designed for. And, it’s been diffi cult to fi nd the estimated $2.5 billion to build a new bridge next to it to increase capacity. On Feb. 23, the last day to fi le new bills, Republican Rep. Sal Santoro of Florence submitted a bill that would increase the gas tax statewide. The bill doesn’t explicitly state that it’s for the bridge, but advocates for the bridge project have suggested using gas tax funds instead of tolls. Right now, Kentucky’s gas tax is 26 cents per gallon. Santoro’s bill instead sets a base rate of about 34 cents per gallon. That rate would be adjusted annually, according to the 74-page bill. By comparison, Ohio’s is about 38 cents. There are also changes to heavy equipment motor carriers taxes, electric vehicle fees, registration fees, license fees, special license plate fees, and more. It’s unclear how much new revenue the bill would bring in. Santoro, who represents part of Boone County did not respond to The Enquirer’s calls or emails. The bill would establish a multimodal transportation fund that would, among other things, “provide assistance to transit programs in the state by helping off set the loss of toll credits,” the bill read. That could be a veiled reference to the decades-long battle to fund the Brent Spence Bridge project. That’s been stalled, in part, by Kentucky lawmakers refusing to use tolls to pay for the local match of the project.

Northern Kentucky lawmakers introduced many bills this session. FILE

They’ve said a toll would disproportionately hurt Northern Kentucky residents who use the bridge daily while major industries use it to transport goods across the U.S. In 2016, former Gov. Matt Bevin signed a bill, backed by the Northern Kentucky delegation, that prohibited tolls on any new bridge that connected Northern Kentucky to Cincinnati across the Ohio River. During a call with reporters Thursday morning, Kentucky Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Ashli Watts said she thinks tolls will have to be part of the solution to building a new Brent Spence. She said she hopes legislators add an amendment to the gas-tax bill that would repeal the prohibition on tolls for the bridge project.

Funding for wetland and stream restoration Did you know there are carnivorous sundew plants in a wet meadow in Pulaski County? Yes, carnivorous plants settled in one of Kentucky’s wetlands. And, they can’t be found anywhere else in Kentucky, according to the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet. In an eﬀ ort to protect such wetlands, Santoro ﬁ led a bill to re-establish a fund

to help restore Kentucky’s 300 wetlands The fund would be called the Kentucky Wetland and Stream Mitigation Fund. It would receive state appropriations, gifts, grants, federal funds, and any other public and private funds.

Cannabis research, Marijuana recreational use Two Northern Kentucky lawmakers — a Democrat and a Republican — introduced cannabis-related legislation. The Enquirer previously reported that Democrat Rachel Roberts, of Newport, ﬁ led a bill to legalize the recreational use of marijuana. Her bill would let you smoke and grow marijuana in your own home, and buy from retailers. She estimated it could bring in as much as $100 million annually in new tax revenue. It would also expunge marijuana misdemeanors. Republican Rep. Kim Moser, of Taylor Mill, ﬁ led three cannabis-related bills. Cannabis is the plant that can produce THC and CBD products. The chemical compound of the plant changes depending on when it gets harvested, according to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health. Moser’s legislation would exclude certain cannabinoid products from the

It can be weird to think about. But Democrat Rep. Buddy Wheatley, of Covington, introduced a bill that would give Kentucky morticians a way to cremate humans with less environmental impact. His bill would allow morticians to use alkaline hydrolysis to break down human remains into ash. It works similar to a cremator, without the ﬂ ames. A body is placed in a metal cylinder, where a water and chemical mixture heats up to break down the body. It leaves behind bone fragments and a liquid eﬄ uent. According to the Cremation Association of North America, the process uses less fuel and a lower carbon footprint than traditional cremation and burials. It’s legal in about 20 states, according to the association’s website.

Smoker employment protections gone State Sen. John Schickel, the Republican who represents all of Boone County, suggested an amendment to a law that would make it legal to discriminate in the workplace against someone based on whether they smoke or not. This was among the last-minute bills Northern Kentucky lawmakers ﬁ led.

Criminalize sharing personal information Republican Sen. Wil Schroder, of Wilder, proposed creating a new law that would make sharing someone’s personal identifying information on the internet a crime. Schroder, who represents Campbell County, introduced the bill. Julia Fair is the Northern Kentucky government reporter through the Report For America program.

Prosecutor: Crescent Springs Subway turned away veteran with service dog, settles complaint Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A Subway franchise in Northern Kentucky that turned away a veteran with a service dog will adopt and implement a service animal policy, according to a settlement agreement. The veteran suﬀ ers from post-traumatic stress disorder and uses the service dog to assist with his disability, according to a news release from the Department of Justice.

The investigation, prompted by the veteran’s citizen complaint, was conducted by the U.S. Attorney’s Offi ce for the Eastern District of Kentucky. The prosecutor’s offi ce found that MD Food, which owns the Crescent Springs, Kentucky, franchise, violated the Americans with Disabilities Act when a Subway employee enforced the restaurant’s “no dogs” policy and would not allow the veteran to dine in. The veteran said he was embarrassed, anxious and suff ered emotional

distress over the incident, according to the release. “Restaurants, as public accommodations, are required to ensure proper access to their customers with disabilities,” U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky Carlton S. Shier, IV said. “This includes allowing service dogs, which are a necessary means for many individuals with disabilities. The Department of Justice is committed to ensuring that individuals with disabilities have proper access under the ADA

SPORTS Newport’s Donna Murphy, Kentucky’s first Miss Basketball and a self-taught star Jason Frakes Louisville Courier Journal USA TODAY NETWORK

A 12-year-old growing up in the projects of Newport, Kentucky, Donna Murphy was a bowler and a cheerleader but had no idea basketball would ultimately become the sport that brought her fame – if not fortune. She recalls walking by the neighborhood basketball court, sitting in a swing, becoming fascinated with the young men playing the sport. She went home, grabbed her brother’s basketball and waited for the court to clear. “I went out there and thought, ‘I’ll try to put this ball in this hole,’” Murphy said. “I was trying to come up with all kinds of ways to do it. I was getting very frustrated that the ball wouldn’t go in. “And then when it did go in, I was hooked.” Murphy fought through sexism and racism and became the top girls basketball player in Kentucky, winning the state’s first Miss Basketball award in 1976. Forty-five years later, Murphy reflected on her time as a basketball star at Newport High School and Morehead State University and as a longtime coach in the high school and college ranks. As much as things have changed since 1976, Murphy says too much has remained the same, especially when it comes to coaching opportunities for women and African-Americans. “I’d like to see the coaching staff be more reflective of the bench they coach,” Murphy said. “Role modeling is important to me. I would love to see those things, but those things really haven’t changed a whole lot over the years, to be honest. … “I had been called a lot of names – racist names. I played like a guy, so people called me a guy, called me a man, called me a monkey. I had to go through a whole lot of stuff when I was in high school. But (winning Miss Basketball) helped me know what I did really meant something. It legitimized what I was doing.”

1975: The first Kentucky girls Sweet 16 Murphy was a self-taught star who would check out library books about basketball and try to emulate such professional stars as Earl Monroe, Oscar Robertson, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell and Julius Erving. Her basketball education came on that neighborhood court, though, playing against men much older than her. “When I first started playing with

Basketball star Donna Murphy was one of 32 inductees in the inaugural class of the Newport High School Hall of Fame. In April 1975, the Enquirer wrote, “Donna Murphy. Remember the name. This junior, who stand 5 feet 10 and weighs 125 pounds, scored 67 points and grabbed 50 rebounds in Newport's two state-tournament games.” TOM HUBBARD/ENQURER FILE PHOTO

guys, they thought it was funny that a girl was out there,” Murphy said. “But when they saw I could play, they started taking me serious. They would play me. I got tired of getting shots blocked, so I had to devise ways that I could outsmart them.” And once she did, her days of being a cheerleader were finished. “When you’re cheering for guys you play against and beat,” she said, “it’s no fun.” Murphy arrived at Newport High

School as a freshman in 1972, but it would be two more years before she could actually compete for a spot in the state tournament. The University of Kentucky managed a girls state tournament from 1920-32 before discontinuing it. The Kentucky High School Athletic Association started its girls Sweet 16 for the 1974-75 season. The summer before that season, Murphy procured a key to the local middle school gym. “We played all summer long against

five guys,” she said. “They played a major role in why we were able to get ourselves ready for the season.” The 5-foot-10 Murphy said she was motivated by a preseason Courier Journal poll that ranked her as the seventhbest player in the state. She averaged 32.2 points and 20.4 rebounds and led her Newport squad to the Ninth Region title, securing a spot in the first girls Sweet 16 at Eastern Kentucky University’s Alumni Coliseum in Richmond. In a first-round victory over Russell, Murphy scored 42 points and set two Sweet 16 records that still stand – shots made (21) and shot attempts (44). Newport lost to eventual state champion Butler 51-50 in the quarterfinals – a game Murphy still recalls with some frustration. “I remember poor officiating,” said Murphy, who earned the Sweet 16’s Ted Sanford award for her athletic and academic achievements. “I had to sit on the bench for quite a long time because they called a couple of charges on me, and they were blocking. I’m just saying it, OK? … I was pretty upset when we lost because I felt like I should have been on the floor more. I think that would have helped change the situation.”

From Newport to Morehead State Murphy failed to make it back to the Sweet 16 during her senior year, as Newport was knocked off by Holy Cross 5850 in the Ninth Region final. Murphy averaged 35 points, 20 rebounds and six assists on her way to See MURPHY, Page 2B

Highlands wrestlers learning in first year James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

There were lots of pins Feb. 27 at Dixie Heights as four wrestling teams competed against each other in a varsity wrestling meet. Few brought more noise than the one by Highlands junior Henry King as he engaged in a tense back-and-forth match against Peyton Mayer of WaltonVerona. King and Mayer had a high-scoring match, with both wrestlers coming close to pinning the other before King scored a fall in the second period. Several Bluebirds stood by the mat cheering him on, and after the match, he had a big smile as teammates congratulated him for notching the only head-to-head win by a Bluebirds wrestler against WV, who is ranked fifth in the state. “It was only his third match of the year,” Highlands head coach John Hazares said. “He’s a very young and moti-

vated guy. He’s very strong and aggressive. He’s got what it takes to wrestle. He brings a lot of energy. He’s a good athlete. I’m looking forward to having him next year.” Wins have been hard to come by for the new Highlands program, as the 2021 Bluebirds have been competing on the varsity level for the first time heading into the Region 6 championships March 12-13. Highlands has had a couple of team dual wins this season mostly due to individual forfeits. In addition to King's win, Rilen Pinkston and Owen Greive won head-to-head matches against Dixie Heights Feb. 27. “We’ve been pinned a lot, but I tell them to keep fighting and try to go the distance,” Hazares said. “It’s been hard with them wrestling against kids who have been wrestling three or four years and it’s been about managing expectations.

NKU baseball coach Asalon to retire at end of this season Provided

Northern Kentucky baseball head coach Todd Asalon recently announced his retirement at the end of the 2021 season, his 21st season for the Norse. "For the last 21 years at Northern Kentucky University, I have had the privilege of coaching college baseball and following my former coach, friend and mentor Bill Aker," said Asalon. "In my opinion, this is one of the greatest jobs one could imagine. Leading NKU's baseball program has been one of the richest blessings of my life. In recent months, I have become much more aware of the sacrifi ces it has taken for me to perform the job I loved for all these years. In refl ection, I have decided to seek out a new career outside of baseball which enables me to be more present emotionally and physically with my family. "Throughout my career at NKU, I have had the privilege of coaching many incredible young men and working with loyal, dedicated coaches. Thank you to these players, coaches, athletic trainers, academic services and all other support staff that helped build this program into a family. The most rewarding part of this job has been witnessing the growth and

Asalon took over as just the second coach in program history beginning in 2001 and has amassed a career-record of 548-557-1 at NKU. He led the Norse to eight NCAA Division II Regional appearances between 2001-12 prior to guiding the program through its transition to NCAA Division I membership as well as the move to the Horizon League. Northern Kentucky was a staple among the GLVC's leaders with Asalon at the helm, as the Norse won fi ve league championships including back-to-back crowns in 2008 and 2009. Under Asalon's guidance, Norse student-athletes have also experienced tremendous success on and off the fi eld. More than a dozen Norse have been drafted by Major League Baseball teams, including nine-year majorleague veteran Nate Jones. Current Norse Griffi n Doersching won the 2019 Rocket Mortgage College Home Run Derby, while former Norse Will Haueter was a two-time CoSIDA Academic All-American, the Cecil N. Coleman Medal of Honor recipient and

the 2018 Horizon League Scholar Athlete of the Season. Prior to becoming the head coach at Northern Kentucky, Asalon spent six seasons leading Thomas More College, where he led the Saints to their ﬁ rstever NCAA Division III Tournament appearance in 2000. TMU was 144-92 during Asalon's tenure, running his career coaching record to 692-649-1. Asalon's teams were also known for their outreach in the Northern Kentucky/Greater Cincinnati region. The Norse were regular participants in the Down Syndrome Association of Greater Cincinnati in support of team manager Ryan Mavriplis and his wife Jillian, the daughter of Enquirer sports columnist Paul Daugherty. Prior to assuming the role of head coach in 2001, Asalon was no stranger to the Black & Gold. He played baseball for NKU from 1980-83, starting at catcher for threeconsecutive seasons and leading the squad as team captain in the ﬁ nal two years. He also served as an assistant coach for the Norse from 1991-94. NKU will begin a national search for its third coach in program history in the near future.

they’re not hanging their heads. They have short memories.” Highlands has 22 wrestlers on its roster, including three seniors. The Bluebirds have had a youth program the previous three years. Hazares, a veteran youth wrestling coach who also coached at Northern Kentucky University last season, was tabbed to lead the varsity program heading into its ﬁ rst season. He said the administration has been very supportive of the new program. While this year’s team has been sharing practice space with other programs at the school, the wrestling team will have its own dedicated space this fall in the school’s new ﬁ eldhouse. “I’m more excited now than I was then,” Hazares said. “These kids like to be pushed. They’re very polite. They

“She deserved to be Miss Basketball because she was all that in the state of Kentucky,” Owens said. “I was proud to be No. 2 behind her. … “She had such a drive. She was so focused. Her shot, you just knew every time she was going up that it was going in. She was such a leader on the ﬂ oor, and you knew she wanted the ball in her hands. That’s just the kind of person she was. She was about business on the court.” Murphy went on to play at Morehead State, where she totaled 2,059 points and 1,442 rebounds and became the ﬁ rst female athlete to have her jersey retired.

taking Miss Basketball honors, beating out Butler’s Valerie Owens. Murphy said the award served as validation of her skill. “When someone says they play like a guy, I don’t take that negatively,” she said. “That’s what people said, that I played like a guy. I could jump. I could get the rim. I was shooting a true jump shot – get as high as you can and release it on the way down. I was just naturally gifted in jumping. I was quick, I could shoot, I could rebound, I could handle the ball. The good Lord gave me some potential, and I went out and worked my butt oﬀ every day to develop it.” Murphy and Owens became friends after that 1975 Sweet 16 meeting and have maintained that friendship to this day. Murphy is the godmother of Owens’ daughter, GiaVanna.

work hard. They encourage each other. They’re a family. That’s the thing I’m most proud of, is that they’re a team. I just want to have a full lineup this year. I’m not worried about state champion-

ships.” Highlands has several females on the roster, with a couple of them starting in the Dixie meet. They will head into this weekend’s girls state championship before the Bluebirds head into the postseason and gain valuable experience. “The main thing is getting them on the mat,” Hazares said. “It doesn’t matter who they’re up against. You can’t really practice a live match with just you and the other guy in a circle. You can’t mimic it in practice. At ﬁ rst, the kids lock up, they freeze up. They get scared at ﬁ rst. But after a while, you’re more relaxed when you get out there, and I can start getting them to do more moves.”

She lives in Lexington, where she’s a professor and counselor at Bluegrass Community and Technical College. She still follows basketball and enjoys watching today’s stars. She also wants them to know there were plenty of great players back during her prime. “I think the Sweet 16s of yesteryear were just as much or even more exciting than they are now,” she said. “They’ve become commercialized over the years and political.

4-H’ers positively impacting their communities during the pandemic Kentucky 4-H’ers are fi nding safe and eff ective ways to brighten people’s days and make their communities better places to live during the COVID-19 pandemic. In Nelson County, a group from the Farley county’s 4-H teen council decided to host an online community service club on Zoom. Named 4-H Helping Hands, the group was led by the teens and met weekly during the fall to learn about community needs and socially distanced ways that they could address those needs. “It’s been super meaningful to watch as the 4-H’ers completed these projects,” said Danielle Hagler, Nelson County 4-H youth development agent with the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service. “They have taken a lot of ownership and pride in this project. It is so good to see that, because you miss a lot of youth interactions in the virtual world.” The group addressed community needs through grab-n-go projects that the club’s 20 members picked up at the extension offi ce. They worked on them at home, often as a group during the virtual club meetings. Members then returned completed projects to the extension offi ce where they were distributed throughout the community. “I wanted to participate in the Helping Hands program, because I love to help people in need, and this gave me a chance to do that in my community,” said Laura Bolin, a Nelson County 4-H’er who helped lead the club. “This experience has taught me that you have to be fl exible when doing projects and that you always need to be mindful of guidelines and protocol when planning service projects.” Bolin’s sister, Natalie, was also a club leader and led the group through making lap blankets and holiday cards for residents of local long-term care facilities. “I love this club so much, and I believe the message we are carrying is super important,” she said. “I hope this club will continue to grow, and that these young members will grow along with it and fi nd new and insightful ways to care for the less fortunate in our beautiful community!” In Eastern Kentucky, youth in the Knox County 4-H

Teen Leadership Academy have worked on several outreach projects under the guidance of Renata Farmer, the county’s 4-H youth development agent. Youth made videos thanking healthcare workers and local school system employees for their work during the pandemic, collected food for diff erent community groups and collected supplies for the local senior citizen center. They also made cards for local nursing home residents. “Through doing community service projects with 4-H, such as hand-painting cards for the nursing home, I have been taught the compassion and understanding it takes to live a fulfi lling life,” said Lily-Kate Hubbs, Knox County 4-H’er. As in Nelson County, Knox County Teen Leadership Academy members brought their collected items to the extension offi ce for distribution. “Service learning is one of my favorite parts of 4-H,” Farmer said. “It is also something the teens said they would like to do more of. It is really great that they have been able to reach their community during the pandemic.” Sometimes, 4-H’ers have been able to fulfi ll community needs. That was the case in Carroll County when Joyce Doyle, the county’s 4-H agent, received a request from the local nursing home for a Pooch Parade. During the parade, members of the county’s 4-H Dog Club led their dogs around the outside perimeter of the nursing home as residents watched from their windows. “The smiles on everyone’s faces were priceless,” Doyle said. Carroll County 4-H’ers continued to be involved with the nursing home, as members of the Homeschool 4-H club created suncatchers using kits provided by extension and placed them on the outside of residents’ windows. In Campbell County, a group of teens are also receiving community service hours for the National Honor Society as they complete 4-H outreach projects for the residents of Magnolia Springs Assisted Living

and Memory Care Center in Florence. Campbell County 4-H agent Sherri Farley had a connection with the facility’s life enrichment director, who is a former Campbell County 4-H’er. In December, members made ornaments, toaster pastry houses and holiday cards. In 2021, the group plans to make no-sew ﬂ eece blankets, Valentine’s Day cards, coloring pages packets and ﬂ ower arrangements for facility residents. “I love being able to do these crafts through the 4-H program,” said Kayla Bolling, Campbell County 4-H’er. It is a way to give back and get involved in the community in a COVID-19 friendly way.” Sherri Farley, Campbell County Cooperative Extension Service
