New Riff expansion I never routinely drank whiskey until I moved to Kentucky in 2019. I still like dry wines and craft beer, but now my fi ancé and I always have a bottle of New Riff whiskey in the pantry. The distillery, based in Newport, announced plans to invest $2 million to increase production by 50%. The expansion will add 900 square feet to New Riff ’s current location to make room for three more open top fermenters, according to Distillery Trail, an alcohol industry news website. New Riff opened its distillery and tasting room in 2014 at 24 Distillery Way in Newport, across from the Party Source. After construction, which is expected to begin in May, the local business will be able to produce 12,000 barrels a year. Right now, it produces 8,000.

Crescent Springs Mayor Lou Hartfi el, 83, died, the city announced April 12 on its Facebook page. Hartfi el, who was fi rst elected mayor in 2014, passed away April 11 surrounded by family. “He truly took your thoughts and desires to heart,” the Facebook post said. “In his last term, he labored to see as many of your wishes come to fruition as he Hartfi el could.” Hartfi el had a long history of local government involvement. He served on council in the 1990s, again from 2011-2014 and then was elected mayor in 2014. The city reelected him in 2018. During his public service he: h Raised funds for the Kenton County veterans memorial, the 9/11 memorial and the charters of freedom monuments in the Crescent Springs park. h Served as chairman of the veterans memorial and ASA liaison. “In the future, the monuments will be a testament to his patriotism and service to our country, and especially, to our City and to Northern Kentucky,” the post read.

If you hire them for a tea party, you will have to provide the venue, tea, food and party supplies. Princess Grace Events provides the entertainment. They perform at parties with several guests and sometime are hired to entertain just one child. Their performers sometimes share tea etiquette or “royal manners” with the children as they sip tea. An hour-long party costs $175 for one character and $110 per each additional character. These rates come with a story time, rhinestone tiara for the guest of honor, “Build-A-Buddy” plush craft and teatime. With COVID-19, the princesses have taken precautions. They wear masks when asked to and give fewer hugs and blow more kisses than before. They limit the number of children at a party to 10. The performers sanitize before, during and after each event. “Our princesses love to sing, and we especially love it when kiddos join in! Most of our performers have backgrounds in music and acting, so they’re comfortable singing with their little fans,” owner Danielle Watters said.

Campbell County Fiscal Court audit A 2019 audit of the Campbell County Fiscal Court found two main issues. No. 1, the court maintained an account that should have been controlled by the jailer. And No. 2, the jailer left money “exposed to the potential risk of loss.” The fi rst misstep caused “confusion and misreporting,” Kentucky State Auditor Mike Harmon wrote in his report. The account was for commissary funds, according to the report. Since the fi scal court maintained the account, it required the jailer to submit an annual commissary report to the county treasurer. But that didn’t happen. So, the county treasurer’s fi nancial report had

Reservations for private parties need to be made at least 24 hours in advance. Tea parties can begin any time between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

The auditor recommended the jailer should maintain the commissary fund and all of its records, adding that the jailer should still submit an annual commissary report to the county treasurer. The second issue in the audit was about uninsured money. As of June 30, 2019, the jailer had $506,609 in one account, which left $256,609 uninsured. There was no collateral security agreement “to protect deposits,” according to the audit, which left the money “exposed to the potential risk of loss.” The auditor recommended the jailer create an agreement with the bank to secure the jail’s money.

How many vehicles use the Brent Spence Bridge? Good question. Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Every day, thousands of vehicles go missing on the Brent Spence Bridge. That's at least, if you compare Ohio and Kentucky's traffi c counts for the bridge linking the two states over the Ohio River. In 2017, for example, Kentucky counted 35,000 more vehicles using the bridge daily, on average, than Ohio did. Where did those 35,000 vehicles go? There's no troll under the bridge. The vehicles don't actually disappear. The states use diff erent methods to estimate the annual traffi c counts, which causes disparities. Ohio's estimates are lower than Kentucky's, public records show. "There's no mystery," said Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments CEO Mark Policinski in an interview with The Enquirer. They've known about the diff erence for a long time, he said. And now, for the fi rst time, the two states have a much more reliable fi gure to use. That's more crucial than ever, since Ohio and Kentucky may be competing against other states for a special pot of bridge repair money in President Biden's infrastructure bill.

Why the numbers matter The Enquirer looked at the traffi c counts after a reader on Twitter pointed out that Ohio's traffi c numbers were decreasing, even before the pandemic. Kentucky Transportation Cabinet spokesperson Nancy Wood told The Enquirer the numbers are are a "guestimate." Ohio Department of Transportation spokesperson Erica Hawkins also said Ohio's numbers are an estimate. Neither state has a permanent counter on the actual bridge. Transportation offi cials use sensors near the bridge and combine that data with other factors to create the estimates for all vehicles, called the average annual daily traffi c, or AADT, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. People care about the traffi c numbers because they're central to the region's biggest public works project, which is creating a new Ohio River crossing. The Brent Spence is functionally obsolete, carrying twice the amount of ve-

hicles that it was designed for. The proposed solution for that overcrowding: a new companion bridge alongside the Brent Spence, estimated in 2013 to cost $2.6 billion. Both Ohio and Kentucky say 160,000 vehicles use the bridge a day based on traffi c counts, modeling and forecasts using data from previous studies, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet spokesperson Naitore Djigbenou said in an email to The Enquirer. That number is from a commissioned report the Missouri-based architecture fi rm HNTB completed in 2019. Recently, the Covington Board of Commissioners penned an op-ed that said the 16-lane solution was too big. During a commissioner meeting, mayor Joe Meyer suggested the project would be fi ne with 10 or 12 lanes. Now the region has a more accurate count, thanks to the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments. In 2019, the group put an end to the guessing and installed a permanent traffi c counter on the bridge, Policinski told The Enquirer. The box is hooked on a pole and measures the length of vehicles that whiz by. It began collecting data in July 2019. After a few months, the Ohio-KentuckyIndiana Regional Council of Governments estimated that 165,000 vehicles use the bridge every day. It estimated about 32,000 of those vehicles are trucks.

"We would've wanted to use a full year but then this darn thing called the pandemic aﬀ ected us," Policinski said. The radar counts vehicles in each lane and measures the vehicle speed. The vehicles are classiﬁ ed by length into 4 groups: h Group 1: vehicle length between 0 21.9 feet. For example, anything up to a large pickup truck. h Group 2: vehicle length between 21.9 - 40 feet. For example, a small moving truck to a coach bus. h Group 3: vehicle length between 40 - 64.9 feet. For example, a charter bus to a large semi-truck. h Group 4: vehicle length greater than 64.9 feet. For example, an 18wheeler truck. The length can determine how many cars and how many trucks use the bridge.

Group efforts calculate bridge data Ohio wouldn't use its numbers to design a new companion bridge, Ohio Department of Transportation spokesperson Erica Hawkins told The Enquirer in an email. Ohio and Kentucky commissioned the study from HNTB to ﬁ nd out the best ﬁ gure to use to measure daily use of the bridge and help plan for the future. That study projected 233,000 vehicles would use the bridge each day by 2035, up 41% from today.

"This took into account all the variables (like time of day, location, time of year, and weather conditions during counting period) of having two separate states doing two separate counts," Hawkins said in the email.

Is the $2.6 billion estimate still accurate? We know we've been talking about bridge data, but this is a question a reader asked us on Twitter. "The fi gure we've used is $2.6 billion for the project which includes the river crossing and approaches on both sides of the Ohio River," Hawkins said in her email. "It came from the original fi nancial plan developed in 2013 and factors in infl ation."

Thomas Massie signs onto bill to ﬁ re Dr. Fauci Scott Wartman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Rep. Thomas Massie doesn't think Dr. Anthony Fauci, the federal government's top infectious disease expert, deserves a government paycheck. Massie, a Republican from Garrison who represents Northern Kentucky, has co-sponsored the "Fire Fauci Act" introduced by Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Greene, a Georgian elected in November, has attracted controversy for past inﬂ ammatory remarks posted on social media that led to the Democratic-controlled House stripping her of all her committee assignments. Massie has been a vocal critic of Fauci and, as of April 13, was the lone cosponsor to the bill, which stands little chance of passing the Democrat-controlled House. "The fact that Fauci was ever paid

with tax-payer money is an embarrassment to the United States of America," Massie wrote in a Facebook post April 2. "We should #FireFauci." The act would reduce Massie the salary of the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases to $0 until Fauci resigns from the position and a new administrator is appointed. Fauci has led the institute and the nation's response to the coronavirus pandemic, earning the ire of conservative politicians, many of whom opposed mask mandates and other measures to control the spread of COVID-19. Fauci made $417,000 in 2019, the highest salary in the federal government, according to a report from OpenTheBooks.com, which describes itself as a nonproﬁ t dedicated to monitoring government spending.

"Trump should have ﬁ red Dr. Fauci when Trump had the chance," Massie said in an interview with The Enquirer on April 13. "I believe that Trump did a lot of great things for the country, but this is one of his mistakes, letting Dr. Fauci provide the imprimatur of science to all of the governors and encouraging all of them to kill our economy." Massie accused Fauci of ignoring other health issues, such as poverty, to focus solely on the virus and not giving a clear answer on the path for the federal government to fully re-open once herd immunity is reached. Fauci ran afoul of Massie a year ago during a conference call when Fauci couldn't answer the criteria for removing the lockdown. "I think that's troubling and I decided at that point that the guy is in over his head and shouldn't have the job," Massie said. "And so when Marjorie Taylor Greene told me that she was going to introduce the Fire Fauci Act, I told her I

wanted to be an original co-sponsor." Massie also slammed Fauci for changing his stance on mask-wearing and herd immunity. In Feb. 2020, prior to lockdowns and before experts knew how COVID-19 was transmitted, Fauci advised skipping masks unless you were contagious. By April, health authorities changed their guidance after studies showed mask-wearing reduced the spread. It's not clear whether such legislation targeting one person is allowed under the Constitution, Forbes reported. Massie said he hopes the bill applies some public pressure. "Anytime Congress gets to direct money, they can direct it," Massie said. "People can argue against it if they want."

Cincinnati now has three ‘Free Blockbusters’ Briana Rice Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

For all nostalgic movie-lovers reminiscing on days past of Blockbusters, Cincinnati now has an alternative. Shadow Valashard Woolf, 26, has been putting “Free Blockbusters” all over Greater Cincinnati, with locations in Covington, Clifton and Northside. The concept is the same as free libraries, except these former magazine and newspaper boxes will now hold VHS tapes, video games and DVDs. “I just sort of got nostalgic for that feeling of getting physical media because we haven’t had that emphasized in years,” Woolf said. “People have this longing again to hold these movies and to physically connect with something.” Cincinnati isn’t the fi rst place to have boxes like this. The “Free Blockbuster” movement has reached cities across the nation, from California to Massachusetts. Outside of Greater Cincinnati, the nearest Free Blockbusters are in Detroit. It all works on an honor system. You can take or leave as many movies as you want, but Woolf encourages you not to get too greedy and leave some movies for others. Movies do not have to be returned, they are yours to keep. The main principle is to take a movie and leave a movie, keeping a constant exchange. Right now, Woolf is fi nding the boxes, decorating them and fi nding permanent homes for them all by himself. He says he got permission from the City of Cincinnati’s Department of Transportation to fi nd abandoned boxes, repurpose them and fi nd new homes for them.

The fi rst box was placed outside of Earth to Kentucky on March 28. Since then, Woolf has put a box outside of Arcade Legacy in Walnut Hills and the Esquire Theatre in Clifton. He’s working on a fourth box and talking with other businesses that might be interested in hosting. “I’m trying to position them with businesses that I personally support, and have relationships with, and bring in the kind of crowd that would be excited by this,” Woolf said. The hope is that the weather will not aff ect the movies. “People keep movies in damp attics for years and usually they can still play,” Woolf said. Woolf was a bit young for the physical media era, he says. The 26-yearold Clifton resident says most people who created Free Blockbuster boxes are in their 40s, 50s and older. “If there is a family that gets to goes and gets to pick out a movie, the way I got to with my family at video stores, that’s really all the reward I’m hoping for,” Woolf says. “Maybe they’ll discover something they wouldn’t fi nd just scrolling through Netfl ix. There’s a cool benefi t from having a limited selection.” Woolf, a full-time motion graphics artist at Pure Romance, makes custom action fi gures and VHS sleeves for guests. He sells his work on an Instagram page called @valashard_toys_n_tapes. Woolf is also sharing information about the Free Blockbusters at @freeblockbustercincinnati. You can visit the Free Blockbusters at: h 836 Main St. Covington h 3929 Spring Grove Ave. Cincinnati h 320 Ludlow Ave. Cincinnati

READER REQUEST:

Stuﬀ ed pork tenderloin wrapped in bacon Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

Remember a couple columns ago when I talked about my asparagus and how excited I was that the stalks would soon be pushing through the soil? It happened yesterday. I was weeding the elderberry patch near the asparagus and there they were. Plump little green soldiers poking out here and there. Hopefully I’ll have enough to steam as a side dish to this yummy pork tenderloin recipe I’m sharing. It has been a while since I published this, and it got resurrected from my fi les due to a reader request. “We were at a friend’s home for dinner and she made the most delicious stuff ed pork tenderloin wrapped in bacon. My friend told me it’s a Rita recipe and it’s not diffi cult. Will you share?” Well, sure. It looks like it’s hard to make, but it isn’t. I fi rst enjoyed it at friend, Carolyn Grieme’s home a while back. Here it is updated a bit.

Stuffed pork tenderloin wrapped in peppered bacon Make bacon easier to wrap around the pork by letting it sit out a few minutes. If all you have is regular bacon, a few grinds of coarse pepper will do it. The mushrooms and onions should be in small pieces so they don’t fall out during roasting. Ingredients 4 tablespoons butter or olive oil 3/4 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced and chopped a bit if necessary 1 cup fi nely chopped onion 1/3 cup fi nely chopped pecans, toasted (toast before chopping) Two pork tenderloins, trimmed Salt and pepper to taste 8 slices thick peppered bacon or regular thick bacon 1/2 cup fi rmly packed brown sugar, dark or light

Stuffed pork tenderloin wrapped in bacon. RITA HEIKENFELD/FOR THE ENQUIRER

Instructions Preheat oven to 450. Melt butter and add mushrooms, onions and sauté until tender. Stir in nuts and set aside. Butterﬂ y pork by cutting a slit into the middle horizontally about 2/3 of the way through. It will open like a book. Then pound it out to even thickness and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread mushroom mixture evenly, leaving a bit of a border so ﬁ lling doesn’t ooze out much.

Roll up as snug as you can. Now wrap stuﬀ ed pork. Lay bacon out on cutting board, spaced evenly to ﬁ t length of pork. Place pork on top, seam side down. Bring bacon up and around, tucking ends underneath. Put pork on sprayed baking pan with sides. Rub evenly with brown sugar and bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 400 and bake about 15 minutes, or until meat thermometer registers 140-145 or so.

Don’t over bake or meat will be dry. Let rest, tented with foil, about 10 minutes or so, then cut into nice slices. Toast pecans: Toast in single layer in 350 degree oven just until they smell fragrant, about 6 minutes or so. Tip: Get pork ready for oven ahead of time If you like, you can get the pork ready to this stage in the morning, but let sit out about 30 minutes prior to baking. (If you forget, that’s OK – just remember that it will take longer to bake).

If Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s parents introduced him to painting instead of the piano, how diﬀ erent would classical music be today?

Florence Aquatic Center will not open for 2021 season Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – March 23. There will be no lazy river for Florence once again this year. Florence City Council has announced that they will not open the Florence Aquatic Center for the 2021 pool season. Offi cials said the city’s contractual obligations with the company that manages pool services required them to make a decision now. The aquatic center did not open in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. Recreational facilities are currently advised to limit their capacity to 60% occupancy. "Due to the uncertainty with restrictions and the potential of a shortened pool season if cases start to spike, the City made the tough decision not to open this summer," offi cials said. "We are disappointed and I am sure many of you are as well. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to a better experience and a restriction free year in 2022."

Better read this if you are 62 or older and still making mortgage payments. It’s a well-known fact that for many older Americans, the home is their single biggest asset, often accounting for more than 45% of their total net worth. And with interest rates near all-time lows while home values are still high, this combination creates the perfect dynamic for getting the most out of your built-up equity. But, many aren’t taking advantage of this unprecedented period. According to new statistics from the mortgage industry, senior homeowners in the U.S. are now sitting on more than 7.7 trillion dollars* of unused home equity. Not only are people living longer than ever before, but there is also greater uncertainty in the ecomony. With home prices back up again, ignoring this “hidden wealth” may prove to be short sighted when looking for the best longterm outcome. All things considered, it’s not surprising that more than a million homeowners have already used a government-insured Home Equity

For example, a lot of people mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full in order to qualify for a HECM loan, which is not the case. In fact, one key advantage of a HECM is that the proceeds will first be used to pay off any existing liens on the property, which frees up cash flow, a huge blessing for seniors living on a fixed income. Unfortunately, many senior homeowners who might be better off with a HECM loan don’t even bother to get more information because of rumors they’ve heard. In fact, a recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s number one HECM lender, found that over 98% of their clients are satisfied with their loans. While these special loans are not for everyone, they can be a real lifesaver for senior homeowners especially in times like these. The cash from a HECM loan can be used for almost any purpose. Other common uses include making home improvements, paying off medical bills or helping other family members. Some

unusual for any tree to be killed by cicadas. It is also easy to protect smaller trees. Garden centers carry fabric-like material that can be used to cover smaller trees. This material allows light and air through to the leaves while the trees are covered. The emergence will last 6 to 8 weeks. If you choose to cover your trees, you should do so during the last week of April or the fi rst week of May. The trees should stay covered until mid-June. Covering trees is not essential for the tree to survive; it is only necessary to prevent damage that in most cases the tree will recover from. There may be a few exceptions where the concentrations are the heaviest. If you have been reluctant to plant new trees because of the cicadas, don’t be. The trees are living here in the area now, at the garden centers and nurseries. Any day is a great day to plant a tree. The sooner you plant a tree in your yard, the sooner it starts to become a beautiful addition to your landscape. I would not put off planting a tree during spring weather when the selection at garden stores is the best. Cicadas are ugly and they will certainly make a lot of noise. They will also be extremely annoying when you are outside and they are fl ying around. Understandably, a lot of people try to avoid going outdoors during the cicadas' visit. Just remember that cicadas off er more benefi ts than harm.

Conversion Mortgage (HECM) loan to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement. It’s a fact: no monthly mortgage payments are required with a government-insured HECM loan; however the borrowers are still responsible for paying for the maintenance of their home, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees. Today, HECM loans are simply an effective way for homeowners 62 and older to get the extra cash they need to enjoy retirement. Although today’s HECM loans have been improved to provide even greater financial protection for homeowners, there are still many misconceptions.

people simply need the extra cash for everyday expenses while others are now using it as a safety net for financial emergencies. If you’re a homeowner age 62 or older, you owe it to yourself to learn more so that you can make the best decision - for your financial future.

Cicadas and your yard: Much more benefi t than harm We are about a month away from the arrival of the 17-year cicadas. There is always a bit of excitement – but also a lot of unnecessary fear – during this phenomenon of nature. The emergence of the cicadas should begin around the middle of May. In a recent article in this paper, Dr. Gene Kritsky, a leading cicada expert and entomologist from the College of Mount St. Joseph University, said that Cincinnati typically sees emergence after two days of temperatures in the low 80’s and a "soaking rain." Cicadas emerge from the ground as nymphs. They climb to a vertical surface, usually a tree but it could be any type of woody plant. Here, they shed their exoskeleton. Then the wings will fi ll with fl uid and the bodies will harden. Now they are ready to fl y and sing. Their sole purpose on earth is to fi nd a mate and reproduce to begin the next 17-year cycle. This is where our plants come into play. At the end of the mating process, the female cicadas will lay eggs into tree limbs. This happens at the end of the branches where the wood is soft and thin. During this process, these thin branches are frequently broken. The branches may also die back to the tip and the leaves will turn brown. This is referred to as fl agging. The potential for this damage is what is concerning to people who value their trees and landscapes. In reality, this damage is actually benefi cial to the trees. Branches that are damaged or die were the weak ones, so the fl agging serves as a light pruning of the tree. The wind cleans the brown leaves and broken branches off the trees, which is the equivalent of a light pruning. Pruning stimulates growth, so where the fl agging takes place, the foliage of the trees will become thicker. The highest concentrations of cicadas will be where the older, established trees are located. Nobody needs to worry about large trees; they have been through this cycle many times. Concerns about smaller, newly planted trees, however, are warranted because smaller trees have fewer branches to sacrifi ce. With this being said, it is still

Reverse mortgage loan terms include occupying the home as your primary residence, maintaining the home, paying property taxes and homeowners insurance. Although these costs may be substantial, AAG does not establish an escrow account for these payments. However, a set-aside account can be set up for taxes and insurance, and in some cases may be required. Not all interest on a reverse mortgage is taxdeductible and to the extent that it is, such deduction is not available until the loan is partially or fully repaid. AAG charges an origination fee, mortgage insurance premium (where required by HUD), closing costs and servicing fees, rolled into the balance of the loan. AAG charges interest on the balance, which grows over time. When the last borrower or eligible non-borrowing spouse dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, or fails to comply with the loan terms, the loan becomes due and payable (and the property may become subject to foreclosure). When this happens, some or all of the equity in the property no longer belongs to the borrowers, who may need to sell the home or otherwise repay the loan balance.

Northern Kentucky had a record day March 27 in the Kentucky High School Athletic Association wrestling championships at George Rogers Clark High School. Area wrestlers won six of the 14 individual weight-class championships, the fi rst time the region has taken home that big of a haul since 2013. Ryle won two championships and fi nished second in the team standings to Union County, which won its sixthstraight team championship and eighth out of the last nine seasons. Ryle fi nished second for the fourth time in team history, the fi rst time since 2010. Each weight class had eight competitors March 27, who all won state medals. The state meet was split into two separate tournaments this month due to attendance limitations in deference to the pandemic. Each state champion won three matches on March 27. Ryle junior Cole Thomas won his third state championship, winning two matches by pin and by 12-7 in the semis. He beat fourth-ranked Jayden Frazier of Paducah Tilghman in the semis and pinned fi fth-ranked George Ferree of Trinity in the fi nals. Thomas fi nished a perfect 38-0 for the season. Ryle junior Noah Duke won his fi rst championship at 170. He pinned second-ranked Dalton Russelburg of Union County in the fi nal and fi nished a perfect 39-0 for the season. Duke be-

Friends can donate online at https://www.gofundme.com/f/darren- davenport-funeral-expenses He was oﬃ ciating with former City of Cincinnati policeman and Deer Park football coach Cal Johnson at Landmark Christian the Saturday before his passing. Johnson had snapped a photo of the two intending to post it on his Facebook page. By the time he had posted it, Davenport was gone too soon. The pair had talked about being from Cincinnati and about kids leaving Cincinnati instead of staying. The elder Davenport had also expressed his pride in Jeremiah for staying with the UC program given the recent departures. “We had a game break and we just talked for a whole hour about how we grew up,” Johnson said. “When you grow up, your kids move out, unlike us. We’re lifetime Cincinnati people. We grew up here and we’re still here. See DAVENPORT, Page 2B

Avoid introduction of boxwood blight into the landscape Boxwood blight can be devastating to American boxwood cultivars, which are common in Kentucky landscapes. Complete defoliation can occur within a week, and plants can die within a single growing season. Use of tolerant cultivars, cultural practices, and fungicides can reduce incidence and spread of boxwood blight. Boxwood blight facts Symptoms on leaves can appear as light or dark brown circular leaf spots with darker borders (Figure 1). These symptoms often go unobserved due to rapid defoliation. Defoliation of the lower plant canopy is often the ﬁ rst obvious symptom of boxwood blight (Figure 2). Dark brown or black streak-like lesions appear on infected stems (Figure 3). Favored by warm, humid weather. Caused by the fungus Cylindrocladium buxicola. The pathogen can survive buried in soil for 1 year and on plant debris for at least 6 years. The disease may be spread by splashing water, wind, tools, clothing, and wet hands. Long distance movement is reliant upon the transport of infected plants, infested soil, or contaminated equipment. Avoid introduction of diseased plants Careful selection of healthy plant material is the ﬁ rst step to prevent spread.

The new St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store is located at 3970 Alexandria Pike, Cold Spring, Kentucky. PROVIDED

Inspect nursery plants carefully; do not purchase unhealthy or symptomatic plant material. Discuss concerns with landscape contractors before new landscapes are installed. Nurseries and garden centers should communicate plant history with suppliers before receipt of new material. All shipments should be inspected before unloading. Cautiously introduce new plants into established landscapes Protect established landscapes, especially if valuable boxwood are on site. Introduce only symptom-free plants into landscapes. If valuable or established boxwood already exists, avoid hasty introduction of new boxwood plants. Move new plants in slowly by setting up a transitional site or quarantined area that can serve as a holding area for 4 weeks. If plants remain vigorous and symptomfree, they are likely safe to introduce into landscapes. Management options If boxwood blight is suspected, contact your local Extension agent, who may submit a sample to the UK Plant Disease Diagnostic Lab for conﬁ rmation. If boxwood blight is conﬁ rmed, the following management options are recommended: Diseased boxwoods in landscapes should be removed immediately to prevent spread. Replant landscapes with boxwoods that have disease tolerance. Diseased boxwoods grown for com-

mercial sale should be destroyed and not sold. Once boxwood blight has been diagnosed in the landscape or nursery, take these steps to prevent infections to nearby healthy boxwoods: Increase plant spacing and prune dense shrubs/trees within the landscape to allow for air movement, reduced humidity, and rapid leaf drying. Minimize overhead watering and sources of leaf wetness that can increase fungal spore production. Fungicides do not cure boxwood blight. Use of fungicides can help protect nearby healthy plants, but residual protection lasts only 7 to 14 days. Always follow label directions when utilizing fungicides. Homeowners can utilize fungicides containing chlorothalonil to protect plants from infection or suppress disease development. Commercial growers and retail centers should contact UK Extension Agents and/or Specialists for speciﬁ c fungicide recommendations.

Regulations for pets and pet owners As the weather turns from cold to warm, more people are going outside to breathe the fresh air and feel the sun. Now that Covid is hopefully coming to a close, those people outside might travel with their pet. While it is nice to take the pet for a walk, there are responsibilities that a pet owner must comply with. It is required by Kentucky law for an owner to vaccinate their dog, cat or ferret by the time the animal reaches the age of four (4) months and then revaccinated whenever the expiration of the immunization period ends. The veterinarian who vaccinates the pet will issue the owner a certifi cate that proves the veterinarian vaccinated the animal. On the certifi cate there will be a time to have the animal brought in to be revaccinated. Along with the certifi cate, owners will receive a tag that bears a serial number that correlates with the certificate given to the owner. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure the tag is

worn at all times by the animal and to produce the vaccination certifi cate to animal control or peace offi cers. If a dog does not bear a valid rabies tag or other legible identifi cation, then the dog is considered running at large. Such dog can be impounded by an animal control offi cer and taken to an animal shelter where the dog will be confi ned in a humane manner. The animal shelter shall keep the dog for up to fi ve (5) days for the owner or a new home to be found. If the owner is found, they will be contacted immediately and be required to show proof of rabies vaccination while paying for any fees incurred while impounding the dog. An owner is required to pay these fees even if the dog is not reclaimed. Any person who is attacked by a dog may seize or euthanize the dog at the victim’s discretion. If the victim feels that they have been harmed, they may fi le a complaint before the district court which charges the owner with harboring a vicious dog. This complaint will be served upon the owner so that they are compelled to appear in court. The court may fi nd that the owner is personally liable to pay for all damages for personal injuries that resulted from the dog attacking the victim. The owner shall also be responsible for a fi ne that is no less than ten dollars ($10) nor more than one hundred dollars ($100). In the event that a person is bitten by a dog, cat or ferret, a health offi cer, or their agent, shall have the authority to quarantine the animal for ten (10) days. If the health offi cer feels that the animal in question is contaminated with rabies, they may require the animal be euthanized and tested for rabies. It is prohibited for the owner to euthanize, or dispose of, the animal in question prior to the testing of rabies. If the owner euthanizes, or disposes of, the animal prior to the test, the owner shall be liable for the rabies treatment. Finally, it should be noted that most local jurisdictions have ordinances requiring that a pet owner clean up the waste created by the animal. Not only is it common courtesy, it is the law. These same ordinances prohibit a pet owner from taking their dog to a park without a leash, chain or cord held by the pet owner. It may seem like tying the animal to a See COMMUNITY NEWS, Page 6B

Celebrate National Grilled Cheese Month with Tom & Chee

Give Where You Live NKY members announce the winner of their March 2021 meeting, Esperanza Latino Center of Northern Kentucky. Give Where You Live is a local giving circle that meets every quarter, and is open to the community. PROVIDED

Tom & Chee, famous for its melts, soups, salads and grilled cheese donuts, is celebrating April with America’s favorite food in a way only Tom & Chee can do: By giving guests a complimentary melt with the purchase of three melts throughout National Grilled Cheese Month at all participating locations. Now through April 30, guests will receive a “Melt Passport” punch card and for every melt purchased via dine-in or carry-out, they’ll receive a punch on their card (one per person per visit). Once three punches are collected, the next gooey melt is on the house. Cheese is not just a staple at Tom & Chee, it’s history. With origins dating back as far as the Roman Empire based on ancient cookbooks, the grilled cheese sandwich became a phenomenon in America in the early 20th century out of necessity. After James L. Kraft patented processed cheese in the mid 1910s, the Great Depression prompted many to fi nd a meal that was fi t for both their palates and their budgets – making the grilled cheese sandwich a staple of many American households. Tom & Chee elevates the standard grilled cheese to the next level with mouth-watering ingredients and fl avor combinations – all of which are bolstered by the premiere goods produced by dedicated farmers at the Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin. “National Grilled Cheese Month is

our favorite month, and one we always look forward to celebrating as a company with our fans,” said Roger David, president and CEO of Tom & Chee. “Typically, we celebrate National Grilled Cheese Day, but this year we wanted to make the celebration even better, so we’re spreading the ooey-gooey love all month long.” John Gerth, owner of several Cincinnati-area Tom & Chee restaurants, agrees. “This year, Tom & Chee is excited to be back in person to celebrate but also via carry out and delivery,” said Gerth. “There are so many delicious handcrafted melts to choose from. My personal favorite is the West of Philly, which includes mozzarella, slow-roasted beef, sautéed mushrooms, onions, peppers and fantastic garlic aioli all on hearty white bread. The best news? It’s available at all Greater Cincinnati Tom & Chee locations.” There are four participating Tom & Chee locations in the Greater Cincinnati area: h The Original Tom & Chee – Downtown Cincinnati, 125 E. Court Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202 h Newport – 1 Levee Way Newport, KY 41071 h West Chester – 9328 Union Centre Blvd., West Chester, OH 45069 h Anderson Towne Center – 7578 Beechmont Ave., Cincinnati OH 45255 Lauren Hall, Tom & Chee

Esperanza Center wins NKY Speed Philanthropy grant Give Where You Live NKY giving circle members gathered on March 18 to give $6,500 to Esperanza Latino Center in a process that took less than an hour. The grant kicks off a year of quarterly meetings that have, since launching, brought more than $50,000 in awards from the giving circle’s members to Northern Kentucky nonprofi ts. “There is something so exciting about charitably-minded neighbors coming together from across Northern Kentucky to give together like this,” said Horizon Community Funds President Nancy Grayson. “Each $100 gift could certainly make an impact if our members chose their own organization to give to, but by coming together they are able to support an organization through a gift of thousands of dollars. Give Where You Live is a fun, casual way to learn about local nonprofi ts, and in so many cases, surprise these nonprofi ts with grants.” Give Where You Live NKY is a joint initiative presented by Horizon Community Funds of Northern Kentucky and Mueller Financial, Inc., and its format lends itself to busy community members who are looking for an easy way to give back to nonprofi ts that serve Boone, Campbell, and Kenton counties. “Muchísimas gracias to Horizon Community Funds, Mueller Financial,

Inc., and everyone that is involved with the Give Where You Live NKY initiative,” said Esperanza Latino Center Executive Director Reid Yearwood. “We have recently opened our center full-time in order to successfully handle the demand for assistance and programs from the community we serve. “This incredibly generous grant will provide us the opportunity to dramatically expand and improve our educational programs and resource connection services. We are extremely fortunate to be located in a community with such generous and progressive-minded organizations, and we commend your support of the Latino/Hispanic and immigrant community of Northern Kentucky. Mil gracias!” The remaining 2021 Give Where You Live NKY meetings will be held on June 17 at Union 42 Bourbon & Brews, September 16 at Wooden Cask Brewery, and Dec. 9 at Molly Malone’s— all on Thursdays, all from 6-7 p.m. “It was exciting to be able to host a partially in-person event for our 2021 Kick-oﬀ round,” said Mueller Financial Partner Woody Mueller. “We are thrilled for the Esperanza Latino Center to be awarded the funds, and look forward to seeing the impact it will make within our wonderful Northern Kentucky Community.” The giving circle runs on a tight See COMMUNITY NEWS, Page 11B

New at-home hospice care comes to Northern Kentucky Northern Kentucky’s Homewatch CareGivers, the area’s premier service oﬀ ering highly trained, accountable and vetted in-home caregivers, has added hospice care to its list of services. “We found that this is unfortunately a high-demand service,” says Founder and President Stacey Thornberry. “We are working with local Hospice providers so that we can deliver services for terminally ill patients who choose to spend their remaining time at the place they call home. It may be their own resi-

dence, the home of a family member or a senior living facility. “Our goal is to provide compassionate care, preserving the dignity of the patient. Caregivers work with the family to create a plan of care that increases comfort, maintains the highest quality of life possible and supports the physical and emotional health of the patient,” says Thornberry. Homewatch CareGivers has brought a new paradigm for caregiving to all Northern Kentucky counties. All potential employees take a personality test that reveals necessary traits such as dedication and reliability. It also serves as a vehicle for matching patients with a compatible caregiver. Applicants are also drug screened, endure a comprehensive background check and tested for personal security standards. “We pay our caregivers more because they take hours of training prior to being sent into the ﬁ eld, and receive additional training courses throughout the year. We use Homewatch University to provide continuing education. A specially designed app enables caregivers to clock in and acknowledge throughout their shift the status of the person under their care. The input becomes a docu-

mented journal of the care received and helps alert families and physicians about changes in behavior, eating and other signs that can ultimately enhance the care and well-being of the patient.” Megan Jones, director of client and caregiver services, will be leading the eﬀ orts for this important service. She has Jones been gaining additional knowledge in the hospice arena and is gifted in communicating to families and clients during end-of-life care. The Homewatch care team communicates with the local hospice groups regarding any questions or concerns that may arise from the family to ensure that the client is comfortable and all needs are met.
