Changes keep meals coming to seniors despite coronavirus Terry DeMio Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Community collects food for NKU students remaining in dorms Max Londberg Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Debbie Buckley gathered an armful of bags brimming with food and packed them in her car. She’d heard of the many Northern Kentucky University students who, for various reasons, couldn’t leave campus as so many of their peers had done. She knew grocery stores’ shelves were often bare, and she knew some of the students had lost jobs as the university shifted to remote learning amid the novel coronavirus pandemic. So Buckley decided to help. She asked neighbors and friends and churches and restaurants to give her some food that she then could drive over to NKU. On Friday, her fourth day doing this, Buckley swung by a home in Fort Thomas and gathered boxed mashed potatoes, pasta cups and microwaveable rice.

In her car, she already had some black cherry barbecue jerky, grape tomatoes and Airheads candy. Buckley then drove the food to NKU before heading to Butler, Kentucky, an approximately one hour roundtrip, to collect more food. “The kids are so gracious,” she said. Among them are Lydia Schubarth and Michael Baker, two students still on campus. Schubarth hasn’t received any hours from her campus job in two weeks. Baker left a previous job to focus on academics and now is struggling to ﬁ nd a new one. They grabbed granola bars, peanut butter and canned corn on Friday. The university food pantry is also donating goods. “I know there’s always going to be food,” Baker said. “I don’t have to worry about that.” Hannah Cremering, a freshman, also expressed See NKU, Page 2A

Every day, well over 7,000 seniors in the Cincinnati region, including Northern Kentucky, receive visitors to their homes with life-sustaining food even in the best of times. In 2019, Council on Aging of Southwest Ohio partners alone provided 1.35 million home-delivered meals to more than 7,000 clients in Hamilton, Butler, Clermont, Warren and Clinton counties, records show. With seniors being vulnerable to COVID-19, the illness caused by the new coronavirus, the numbers of those who need food are driving up. “We have been getting big increases in calls from seniors in the community who wouldn’t normally need our help,” said the area council on aging agency’s CEO Suzanne Burke. “But at this time, they’re fi nding themselves with not enough food, not enough cleaning supplies… (or) toilet paper.” Do not despair, providers say. The meals will come. Arrangements are underway in both Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky for food and other necessities. Meals on Wheels of Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky is among agencies stepping up its deliveries to its roughly 2,000 senior clients in the region. “We’re trying to send additional pantry items,” said executive director Jennifer Steele. The nonperishable food that her agency back-ordered is meant to help seniors in the event of emergencies for at least two weeks, in addition to the regular meal deliveries. “We’re hearing about people just unable to stand in long lines,” she said. “We don’t want them to go to the grocery stores. It’s a great place to get sick.” The regional Council on Aging is developing plans with all its partners to provide two weeks worth of nonperishable meals for its clients and others who may need them, said Burke. She also said staff is brainstorming on ways to get toilet paper. One idea is to fi nd out whether area schools, closed to help keep people healthy, have extra toilet paper. Agency leaders also say they are See MEALS, Page 2A

not forgetting the thousands of seniors in the region who, until recently, were served meals at senior centers or other distribution sites, which have had to close because of the pandemic. In Northern Kentucky, seniors who once were served meals at nutrition sites and senior centers will receive meals in a diﬀ erent manner, said Anne Wildman, associate director of human services for Northern Kentucky Area Development District. “It’s going to look different at every site,” Wildman said, but she assured those seniors, “You will be contacted.” Any seniors with questions can call the Northern Kentucky Of-

ﬁ ce on Aging and Disability Resources at 859692-2480, she said. In Southwest Ohio counties, seniors may call 513-721-1025 if they need help. The Council on Aging is also helping residents who met at various locations for meals. The Lower Price Hillbased Meals on Wheels currentlyuses staﬀ drivers taking meals to seniors, Steele said. They used to visit clients, too. Now, they have to stay outside the homes unless the client needs help putting away meals. The drivers have been taught by public health workers “how to sneeze, how to cough, how to wash their hands,” said Steele. Burke said that the agencies that provide meals are likely to need volunteers to help the

Gannett launches website to help small businesses Brett Molina USA TODAY

Gannett, the owner of USA TODAY and more than 260 daily local media properties, is launching a nationwide eff ort to help communities support local small businesses during the coronavirus crisis. The media company announced Monday a new website, supportlocal.usatoday.com, that will allow users to select local businesses in their community to support by buying gift cards for use at a later time. Visitors and business owners can also add local businesses to the platform. “We feel that local businesses are such a core part of the fabric of the country and the communities we all live in,” said Kevin Gentzel, Gannett’s chief revenue offi cer. “They really are a refl ection of the heartbeat of America.” Last Wednesday, Gentzel and Maribel Perez Wadsworth, president of Gannett’s news division and publisher of USA TODAY, wrote a joint op-ed in USA TODAY urging local communities to support small businesses during the crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic has ground everyday life in the U.S. and other parts of the world to a halt. More than 33,000 cases of illness have been reported in the U.S. and more than 400 people have died. Small businesses have been hit hard. Many shut down to help curb the spread of the virus, though essential businesses have largely remained open, including grocery stores, gas stations and pharmacies, some with shortened hours to clean and restock.

Many restaurants are also open but only oﬀ er takeout or delivery orders. Dinner reservation app OpenTable released new data showing just how severe the situation is for restaurants throughout the country. Sit-down dining at U.S. restaurants that participate in the company’s reservation system have screeched to a halt. Reservations and walk-ins on Saturday, March 21, were down 100% from

time,” Steele said. In Northern Kentucky, Wildman agreed. “We need to make sure that the older adults in our community are safe and protected,” she said. “Right now, the best way for that is to stay in. We’ve got to bring help to them.” Editor’s note: Information included reﬂ ects this article’s original publication date – March 18. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates.

the same day in 2019, according to OpenTable. Lawmakers are working on emergency packages to help small businesses cover expenses as they remain shut down while consumers shelter at home and practice social distancing. On Saturday during a White House coronavirus task force brieﬁ ng, President Donald Trump said he talked with thousands of small-business owners about the crisis in a conference call. He also has spoken with restaurant industry representatives. “I assured them my administration is doing everything within its very considerable power to support them and their employees,” Trump said.

Many of her dorm mates are international students, Cremering said, who can’t easily move back to their home countries and are struggling to secure food. Rochelle Shields, associate director of operations for housing at NKU, said NKU is allowing eligible students who can’t move oﬀ campus that they can stay. And all students are eligible to pick up food as needed. Those interested in donating can email Buckley at dbbuckley70@gmail.com.

Covington police and ﬁ re make safety changes during coronavirus outbreak Briana Rice and Terry DeMio Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Several of Northern Kentucky’s fi rst responders are changing protocols in answering calls and responding otherwise to their communities to try to help keep themselves and neighbors safe from the new coronavirus. Covington’s police and fi re departments recently noted changes. “Our primary message is this, if you have an emergency and need a police offi cer or an EMT, they will be there,” City Manager David Johnston said in a news release. “We have strong leadership and a dedicated contingent who

take their public safety duties seriously, and I want to commend our fi rst responders and support staff .” Fire Chief Mark Pierce said that Northern Kentucky Health Department has created a new emergency dispatch screening protocol as well as having advice and information for residents that will require call-takers to ask questions related to the possible presence of the virus. Florence and Highland Heights police departments sent out similar messages: “As most agencies in the area, we are a small department and need our offi cers to stay healthy to continue to provide the highest level of service to our

citizens. Eff ective immediately, offi cers may take reports over the phone for minor off enses (minor thefts, property damage, harassment). An offi cer may contact you by phone ...” Highland Heights police noted on its Facebook page. More information can be found there. Also, Florence Police Chief Tom Grau announced to the community changes that are designed to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the illness caused by the coronavirus. “These changes and suggestions are meant to limit non-essential physical contact and exposure between (fi re and police) personnel and community

members, in an eﬀ ort to lessen the potential of spreading COVID-19 among each other, but especially among our ﬁ rst-responders,” who have to be able to respond to emergencies, Grau said in a statement. For more information on Covington’s rules, go to the city’s website. In Florence, visit the city police department’s Facebook page. And it’s wise to check your neighborhood or city’s Facebook or government pages online in case changes there have been made, too. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates.

NKY Convention Center turned into homeless shelter over coronavirus Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Social service agencies have set up an emergency homeless shelter inside the Northern Kentucky Convention Center in Covington to help ﬂ atten the curve and reduce the spread of the novel coronavirus, said Welcome House of Northern Kentucky’s CEO. The number of people served each night will be limited to 65 people right now, said Danielle Amrine, Welcome House’s CEO. The convention center, which normally hosts business and tourism gatherings, is near Covington’s riverfront. With 40,000 square-feet available, a 100-square-foot distance can be kept between each person for social distancing because of the COVID-19 outbreak, Amrine said. The closure of places including libraries and restaurant dining rooms used by people experiencing homelessness creates fewer places where can wash hands, use a restroom or ﬁ nd food, she said. The shelter gives them a way to reduce the spread, Amrine said.

“We’re going to have a medical clinic inside to check temperatures every four hours,” she said. In case anyone does present COVID-19 symptoms, an isolation area is already set up, Amrine said.

A coalition of agencies, working with elected oﬃ cials and the convention center was able to reach an agreement at 5 p.m. Saturday, she said. By 8 p.m. Saturday, there were 40 people in cots in the convention center. There were 61

people sleeping inside Sunday night, Amrine said. Many people who are homeless don’t have access to news or social media, Amrine said. While they know some of what is going on, many are confused, she said. The spread the word is through with street outreach, Amrine said. “We’ve gone out to every encampment, every parking garage, and every overpass,” she said. The coalition staﬃ ng or providing supplies to the convention center shelter includes the Emergency Shelter of Northern Kentucky, Welcome House, Brighton Center, Be Concerned, The Parish Kitchen, Lords Gym Ministries, Fairhaven Rescue Mission and Cornerstone Church. “We’ve tentatively got this set up for 24/7 for the next two weeks,” Amrine said. Welcome House’s shelter for up to 35 women and children continues to operate separately, she said. Services that include housing some in hotels and buying and delivering groceries to people, most of whom are elderly, also continue through Welcome House, she said.

LETTER FROM GANNETT’S PRESIDENTS OF NEWS AND ADVERTISING

Time to rally

Together, let’s support local businesses, the bedrock of our communities as strongly about supporting the local business community. The safety measures that have forced us indoors and away from others to help stop the spread of COVID-19 are the right thing to do. We’re conﬁ dent our strength and resilience will carry us through. But we also recognize our small business owners need us more than ever as they take their own precautions. To emerge from this with our communities strong and intact, we need to ensure that what makes them special — the coﬀ eeshop down the road, the local car dealer-

ship and our neighborhood music teachers — are able to stay afl oat. While we may not be able to give them our patronage in person right now, there is much we can do to show our support. Visit your favorite restaurant’s website and purchase gift cards for yourself and others to keep some money fl owing to their bottom lines. If those restaurants are still off ering take-out or delivery, make a point to order from them now and again soon. And get gift cards for massage studios, arts and crafts store, local jungle gyms and myriad other busi-

nesses. If your local shops sell their merchandise online, make purchases — even if the goods won’t be available right away. If you’re shopping online for things you’ll need while in selfquarantine, like home exercise equipment or activities for the kids, seek out local businesses to make these purchases. If you use a service provider who won’t be needed or can’t provide that service right now — a dog walker, house cleaner, day care provider, a lawn service or any of the other folks who keep our lives in order and make them better — consider paying the person or company regardless so they’ll be there for you again when this is over. Also, visit the websites of your favorite local businesses, and you’ll fi nd that many are off ering discounts or telling their customers how they can assist. Many are getting creative and changing their business models already to off er services remotely or shipping their merchandise to their customers. We're also committed to doing our part and will introduce new tools in the coming days to help facilitate support for the business community. At a time when much feels out of our control, there’s plenty we can do to help our local businesses survive this. In recent days, we’ve all seen the incredible eff orts they’ve taken for us, from additional cleaning to limited hours to ample hand sanitizer at the checkout. Now, let’s do what we can do for them.

Our news organizations have always had a special relationship with their local business community. Reporters keep tabs on what’s moving in and out, chronicling the changing face of Main Street and the stalwart businesses that have spanned generations. Sales representatives work closely with local businesses to help them promote their goods and services, celebrate their successes and off er deals to new customers. We sponsor many community events, and our leaders serve on local business associations. As America has seemingly shut down overnight with the spreading coronavirus pandemic, our local business community has acutely felt the loss of its customers and its community. Restaurants that were bustling until just days ago, preparing for patio weather and taking reservations for upcoming birthdays and work events, now sit empty and unsure of when diners will next pass through their doors. Local gyms and daycare facilities, which increased their cleaning regimens in recent weeks, have made the diffi cult decision to close in the hopes that it’s only temporary. Countless downtown storefronts that relied heavily on foot traffi c that isn’t there anymore are looking at their bottom lines, wondering how long they can weather the storm. And so it is at this precipitous time that we’re reaching out to implore our communities to off er a strong show of support for their local businesses.

Judge Gentry misconduct hearing postponed due to COVID-19 outbreak Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The latest Northern Kentucky novel coronavirus disruption means embattled Kenton County Family Court Judge Dawn Gentry will be able to keep her job – and salary – for a bit longer. Gentry was set to appear in a Northern Kentucky court April 20 for her misconduct hearing about the state’s claims that she used sex, campaign ﬁ nances and retaliation as tools in her judgeship. Due to novel coronavirus concerns, the Judicial Conduct Commission, the entity that can punish sitting judges, agreed to postpone the hearing, according to Judicial Conduct Commission court documents. The commission has not set a new hearing date. Gentry, who has denied all of the state’s claims, argued the national pandemic created a diﬃ cult environment for her attorneys to collect material needed for her hearing. Recommenda-

tions, warnings and orders from Gov. Andy Beshear, President Trump and the Centers for Disease Control made it difﬁ cult for Gentry’s attorGentry neys to conduct in-person interviews, submit subpoena requests and meet with each other to discuss the case, according to court documents. The commission agreed “that due to the COVID-19 outbreak that a continuance of this matter is likely, imminent, and advisable.”

Gentry’s misconduct case In December, the commission made public its investigation into the judge’s conduct and claimed the judge used sex, campaign contributions and retaliation as tools in her judgeship. Gentry, 39, became a judge in 2016 when former Gov. Matt Bevin picked her to ﬁ ll a vacancy. Gentry, who makes

$136,900 a year, was elected to a fouryear-term in 2018. In January, the Republican judge, who makes $136,900 a year, was temporarily suspended with pay from the bench after a nine-hour hearing in Louisville. The commission isn’t the only government entity investigating Gentry’s behavior. In February, the Kentucky General Assembly assembled a committee to determine if there’s suﬃ cient evidence to impeach the judge. If she is impeached, she would be the ﬁ fth individual in the state’s history to be impeached. She could face permanent removal from the bench.

What is Gentry charged with? 1 Coercion to participate in judicial campaign. 2 Retaliation for failure to support the judicial campaign. 3 Facilities and time sheet falsiﬁ ca-

tion. 4 Retaliation against school employees. 5 Held meetings with her Guardian Ad Litem panel, guardians that a court appoints to watch after someone during a case, without inviting private attorneys who also represented individuals in the case. 6 Harassment and retaliation against Katherine Schulz 7 Inappropriate hiring and relationship with Stephen Penrose. 8 Hiring and appointing court staﬀ not based on merit. 9 Failure to be candid and honest with the commission. Gentry denied almost all charges, according to court documents. During her Louisville-based temporary removal hearing she admitted there was one inappropriate joke she received and did not reply to on Snapchat and that she appointed “acquaintances” to family court positions that handled custody cases.

Kids do better when parents and schools work together Bonnie Jean Feldkamp Guest Columnist Community Recorder USA TODAY NETWORK

A recent story about Fort Thomas Schools and the dissatisfaction of Luke Laskey’s education, a teen with autism, and his graduation experience left me feeling like the community will never know the whole story. According to the article, the family had hoped Luke could be part of Project Search – a program for which Fort Thomas Schools has no governance or control over. The Laskey’s lawyer would have you believe that the school chose legal fees to ﬁ ght the case over the simple $5,000 fee for the program, as if it was to begrudge this student his needs. However, if a Fort Thomas School District child qualiﬁ es for the Project

Search, which is governed by Campbell County School District, they can apply. Does Luke Laskey qualify? He does not qualify for a wonderful reason. Luke Laskey is on target to receive a regular high school diploma with his peers instead of an alternative diploma that is based on a personalized curriculum set forth in an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). Congratulations, Luke! That is fantastic. The article also laments that due to Luke’s challenges, Luke’s job prospects are nonexistent because he did not get to participate in Project Search – his seemingly only possible path to success. However, the Kentucky Oﬃ ce of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR) assists Kentuckians with disabilities to achieve suitable employment and independence. It is a government entity that should be invited to meetings to discuss the child’s plan for the future.

I understand disappointment when plans change and you have to adjust. That’s called life, and that’s called parenting. It sounds like the Laskeys know this and have been going with the fl ow and advocating for their son Luke for a very long time. This time it’s to the tune of $40,000 in legal fees, so far. Every child should have parents in their corner who care that much. But what I really want to know is how this got so out of hand that the family fi led a due process complaint with the state? We may never know. The school must “protect the confi dentiality of personally identifi able student information,” according to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Regardless of what the parents say to whom, publicly in the press or in private, the school is required by law to protect the child. Families are free to talk, gossip, and accuse.

The school district will never get their day. Not in the press anyway. Their successes are measured by the community contributions of the students they were able to teach, mentor, and yes, love. This one-sided narrative creates an adversarial environment. We rely so much on our school systems, and teachers, to help our kids. It requires teamwork and relationship building. Are mistakes made? Of course, because humans are involved. But if we advocate for childrenr instead of ﬁ ghting against one another, our kids will go farther and do more than we ever imagined.

Add Mujaddara to dinner rotation on meatless Fridays

Lebanese lentils and rice with crisped onions (Mujaddara)

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

I’ve adapted this only slightly. Take a few bites – you won’t miss having meat!

One of the meals that are in my rotation on meatless Fridays, especially during Lent, is a dish I grew up eating. It’s Mujaddara. A simple dinner dish of lentils and rice seasoned with cumin, served with a topping of caramelized onions and a dollop of homemade yogurt. In fact, I have a batch of homemade yogurt “setting” now near the wood stove. Who knew Mujaddara would become popular enough for Chris Kimball to include in his book “Milk Street: The New Rules.” But as Chris notes, “Ethnic cooking is just dinner somewhere else in the world.” Chris gave an informative, casual presentation at Joseph Beth Bookstore in November when he came to do a book signing. This book is chock full of recipes from around the world, including Sicilian caponata and Mexican wedding stew. The bonus? No need to travel beyond the grocery store. And no worries about hard-to-fi nd ingredients, recipes that keep you chained to the stove, or techniques that only a professional could manage. Along with recipes are timely tips, like saucing meat as it rests, and removing the lid to concentrate fl avors. The recipe I’m sharing today has broadened my Mujaddara horizons. Oh, and one more thing. Use regular brown lentils. They cook up tender and a bit creamy. Don’t sub green lentils – they’re too fi rm even after cooking.

Serves 4 Ingredients Up to 4 medium garlic cloves, smashed and peeled 3-4 bay leaves 21⁄ 2 teaspoons ground cumin ⁄ 4 to 1⁄ 2 teaspoon ground allspice

Kosher salt and ground black pepper 1 cup brown lentils, rinsed and drained 1 cup basmati rice, rinsed and drained (I use converted rice) ⁄ 3cup extra-virgin olive oil

2 medium yellow onions, halved and thinly sliced Up to 1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced Plain whole-milk yogurt, to serve Instructions In a large Dutch oven over medium-high, combine 5 cups water, garlic, bay, cumin, allspice, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.

Mujaddara THE NEW RULES COOKBOOK/PROVIDED

Bring to boil, then stir in lentils and reduce to medium. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally and adjusting heat to maintain simmer, until lentils are softened but still quite ﬁ rm in center, about 10 minutes. Stir in rice and return to simmer. Cover, reduce to mediumlow and cook until liquid is absorbed and lentils and rice are tender, about 25 minutes. Meanwhile, in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high, heat oil until shimmering. Add onions and cook, stirring only occasionally at the start then more frequently once browning begins at edges of pan, until onions are deeply caramelized and crisped, 10 to 15 minutes; adjust heat if onions brown too quickly.

Can you help? Western Southern’s Beef Barley Soup Reader Kathy B. would like to make the soup at home. “Several friends mentioned that they used to work at Western & Southern. Apparently the Beef Barley Soup in their cafeteria was amazing. I’ve looked for it online without luck.”

Sprinkle with salt and set aside. They’ll crisp as they cool. When lentils and rice are tender, remove pot from heat and fluff mixture up with a fork. Discard bay. Adjust seasonings. Stir in half the scallions, place in bowl, then top with rest of scallions and caramelized onions. Dollop on yogurt. Check out Chris’ Milk Street site at 177milkstreet.com.

Sports A look at Northern Kentucky’s top prep baseball players James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The high school baseball season was supposed to begin last week in Northern Kentucky. The KHSAA high school season is on hold until at least April 12 because of the novel coronavirus. Beechwood came in as the top returning team in Northern Kentucky after going 38-2 last season and advancing to the KHSAA state quarterfi nals. Highlands would be looking to regain the regional throne after winning four straight championships from 2015-18. The Bluebirds are led by the region’s top returning player, senior shortstop Ethan Kavnagh. The leadoff hitter and defensive wizard has committed to Kentucky. Campbell County had the biggest opening week planned during a light week on the schedule for most teams, playing St. Henry, Newport Central Catholic and Highlands in succession March 16-18. Here are the preseason all-state teams as released last week by the state coaches association, plus the returning Enquirer all-star picks from last year.

Northern Kentucky’s top prep softball players James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The high school softball season was supposed to begin last week in Northern Kentucky. The KHSAA high school season is on hold until at least April 12 because of the novel coronavirus. So, until the future of spring sports becomes more clear, here’s a look at which Northern Kentucky softball players and teams could make some noise on the diamond. Dixie Heights, last year’s Ninth Region champions, was voted to win the region again. The Colonels graduated ﬁ ve seniors, including one of the region’s top players, Kaylee McGinn. Pendleton County won the 10th Region for the ﬁ rst time, then defeated Dixie in the round of 16 at the state tournament. Both teams hope to make another run this season as they eye a multitude of challengers.

All-region picks The Kentucky state coaches association released its top 10 preseason picks in each region for top teams and players. Here are those selections, with last year’s stats listed for local players.

Given the critical importance of electricity to the healthcare industry and public welfare, Owen Electric has monitored national and local developments on the evolving impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) since its onset. “Because our employees are the backbone and driving force behind the service we provide, it was important to be proactive and not reactive regarding this disease,” Mike Cobb, president and CEO said. “We’ve based our safety precautions on information from the Centers for Disease Control, the World Health Organization, and local public health agencies. It’s paramount to ensure our employees stay healthy so that we can continue to provide reliable electric service.” In late February, following a cooperative-wide infectious disease prevention and control training, Owen Electric offi ces and warehouses were stocked with additional sanitation supplies, including hand sanitizers and disinfectant wipes for electronics and work stations. Since then, additional measures have been taken to protect against the onset and spread of illness, including designating facilities a “handshake-free zone” with signage to limit personal contact, and cancelling non-essential business travel and face to face meetings. In early March, a four-level response plan was communicated to members regarding offi ce and construction operations. Operating at a Level 2, Owen Electric encouraged members to limit visits to offi ces and to conduct business electronically, if possible. All non-essential business travel was cancelled. More recently, in an eff ort to stay ahead of COVID-19, Owen Electric escalated its response to Level 3; this includes closing lobbies and conducting business via drive-thru windows, over the phone, and electronically. All employees handling mail and money must wear gloves, and work stations have been relocated to empty offi ces or spaces to encourage an enhanced level of social distancing. Employees who are able to work in non-business hours shifts are doing so, as well as those who are able to work from home. All services that include member contact, such as inhome energy audits, have been suspended. While focusing on the safety of our employees and continuity of our services, Owen Electric remains member-centric and understands the hardships families and businesses are facing. Eff ective Friday, March 13, Owen Electric opted to suspend disconnections for non-payment, days ahead of an order issued Tuesday, March 17 by the Kentucky Public Service Commission to suspend disconnections and late fees; Owen Electric has been fully compliant with this order. “In 32 years of working in the electric cooperative industry, I’ve never seen anything like the COVID-19 pandemic. Expert opinions and conventional wisdom of what needs to be done seems to evolve and change daily,” Cobb said. “We appreciate the patience and understanding of our employees and members regarding the precautions being taken to protect them. The service we provide is not a luxury — it’s a necessity — and we cannot aff ord to have our workforce suddenly overwhelmed by illness. We’re committed to staying ahead of the Coronavirus in order to continue providing the quality of service our members need and expect.” Whitney Duvall, Owen Electric Cooperative

Cleaning products and methods Have you ever thought about what “clean” smells like? Is it a lavender scent wafting through the air? The odor of bleach when you walk into a room? Clean linen scent? Rain? In reality, clean has no odor. Often, walking into a room and smelling the residual odor of a cleaning product only means that too Mason much of a product was used. Cleaning products have been popular purchases in recent weeks as we all work to battle the coronavirus. Have you ever considered if you are using the proper product for the task? Or using the product properly? The labels on cleaning products are the best source of information for determining what the product is for and how it should be used. Using more of a product than called for wastes

money and may be harmful to surfaces, the environment, or lungs. There are times when using too much of a cleaning product will cause residue to build-up and lead to a sticky or damaged surface. Three commonly used terms when talking about cleaning include: clean, sanitize, disinfect. Our friends at the American Cleaning Institute help us understand the diff erences between the three. Cleaning simply means physically removing germs, dirt and impurities from surfaces with water, friction and soap or detergent. The process does not necessarily kill germs but it should lower the numbers and risk of spreading infection. Cleaning is the fi rst step to take before attempting to sanitize or disinfect. Some sanitizing or disinfecting products are not eff ective if the surface is dirty. Sanitizing reduces, but does not necessarily eliminate, microorganisms in the air or on surfaces. Sanitizing does reduce the number of pathogens on clean surfaces to safe levels and can reduce or kill 99.9% of germs present. Disinfecting destroys or irreversibly inactivates infectious or other undesirable bacteria, pathogenic fungi, or viruses on surfaces. Complete directions must be followed for a disinfecting product to work properly. This may include fully wetting a surface for a specifi c amount of time. The Environmental Protection Agency has a list of registered products to use against the Novel Coronavirus at <https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-registration/list-n-disinfectants-use-against-sars-cov-2>. The Centers for Disease Control off er the following recommendations for diluting unscented household bleach for use in disinfecting surfaces in the home. Use one-third cup of bleach to one gallon of water or 4 teaspoons of bleach in one quart of water. The bleach water solution does not keep for extended periods of time and should be used within 24 hours. Be sure to wear gloves when using any cleaning product and avoid breathing the fumes from the product. Test the solution on any surfaces to ensure they are not damaged, and, use caution to not get the solution on soft surfaces that may discolor because of the bleach. Maintaining a healthy home is important. Cleaning surfaces daily, disinfecting as needed, and washing hands frequently will go a long way to helping prevent the spread of disease causing germs. Purchasing the right product for the job and carefully following the label directions may save money, time and frustration. Diane Mason, Boone County Cooperative Extension Service

When we think of our pantry, we tend to fi rst think about canned or boxed goods. Suggestions for your pantry include canned fi sh such as tuna, salmon, and sardines; canned beans such as black, kidney, garbanzo, cannellini, and chickpeas; and canned vegetables such as tomatoes, spinach, corn, or beets. Other items to consider are broth or stock, peanut butter and other nut butters, and salsa. There are several options for rice and grains including Byrnes brown rice, whole-grain pasta, couscous, rolled oats, and breadcrumbs. Common oils, vinegars, and condiments can add fl avor in a pinch. Think about adding extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar, mustard, hot sauce, or Worcestershire sauce. Additional ways to add fl avor include seasonings like salt and pepper, and spice blends like chili powder and Italian seasoning. Stocking up your herbs and spices cabinet is also a great way to be prepared for putting together quick meals with lots of fl avor. Common herbs and spices you should include might be bay leaves, parsley, cumin, oregano, paprika, rosemary, thyme, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Building your pantry does not happen overnight. It is important to slowly build up your inventory as needed. Many of these foods are shelf-stable for several months and can be purchased in bulk or on sale.

Wacky Wednesday took place at Florence Elementary to honor Dr. Seuss’ birthday What better way to celebrate of the most nationally known early reader authors than to have a “Wacky Wednesday” to honor Dr. Seuss’ birthday on March 2. The book “Wacky Wednesday” is a combination of wacky mistakes happening throughout the book in this silly book of errors. The kindergartners and their teachers joined in on the fun creating some very creative Wacky Wednesday outfi ts. We had lots of backward outfi ts, silly outfi ts and mismatch outfi ts. All week you saw homemade Cat and the Hat hats upon the kindergartners and their teachers to acknowledge Dr. Seuss and National Read Across America. Dr. Seuss’ books uses simple words and rhyming words with colorful illustrations to give clues to help give the meaning of words. His books display iconic characters, stories and art styles that have been passed down to generation to generation. “Oh the Places I will go” has been an all-time favorite to pass on to graduating seniors as they start their life.
