A NKY hotel planned to house the homeless during the pandemic – until city leaders stopped it Julia Fair and Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

People experiencing homelessness in Northern Kentucky have been shuffl ed in and out of COVID-19 housing as offi cials clashed over where the vulnerable population should be housed during the pandemic. They won’t stay at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center anymore, which opened its doors to dozens of people experiencing homelessness in March. Due to federal guidelines that said hotel rooms would be better for physical distancing, the Emergency Shelter of Northern Kentucky and Welcome House planned to move about 40 individuals out of the center. There was an agreement for them to stay at the Springhill Suites hotel in Florence, according to Kim Webb, Executive Director of the Emergency Shelter of Northern Kentucky. But, that won’t happen anymore. The hotel rescinded the $40,000 to $60,000 housing deal it struck with the advocacy agencies after government offi cials said the hotel wasn’t zoned for transitional housing, according to interviews with the advocacy agencies and Diane Whalen, the Mayor of Florence. Use of a hotel for that purpose raised additional questions and concerns, Whalen told The Enquirer in an email. She said an “infl ux of large numbers of people from a diff erent location can potentially further spread the virus.” She also worried that people would gather outside of the rooms, confl icting with social distancing guidelines from the state. She added that the organizations had not communicated what the long-term plan would be for the individuals to comply with the state orders and the Kentucky Department of Public Health guidance. “There wasn’t really time to sit back and be angry ... we just moved on,” Webb said. A spokesperson for Springhill Suites who Webb had been in contact with about the arrangement did not return multiple requests for comment from The Enquirer – when this article was originally published. “We have another hotel that welcomed the opportunity to keep their

staff employed and the income,” Webb said. She declined to share where the hotel is, or which Northern Kentucky city it’s in, because she wanted to protect the privacy of the individuals who will be housed there. An on-site nurse and staff from the shelter and Welcome House of Northern Kentucky will be at the hotel 24-7 where people are being sheltered, Webb said. It could cost up to $80,000 to move people to a hotel. Webb added that they’ve talked to the Northern Kentucky Health Department about their eff orts as well. Webb said the organizations weren’t upset with Springhill Suites and decided “not to get caught up with what was brewing.”

Housing homeless in Florence hotels Whalen and oﬃ cials from Boone County found out between 80-100 Ohioans and Kentuckians who were experiencing homelessness were housed at local hotels, separate from the Emergency Shelter of Northern Kentucky and Welcome House eﬀ ort, because people called police to those locations, Whalen said. She said she does not know if those individuals are still at those hotels. Overall, Whalen said she wished there had been more communication about the arrangements. Then, Whalen said the city found out from a “representative of a third party”

The rankings are in and Greater Cincinnati continues to have some of the best schools around. Annually, the U.S. News Best High Schools rankings include data on more than 24,000 public high schools in 50 states and the District of Columbia. The rankings came out this week and include some familiar names in Greater Cincinnati. In Ohio and Kentucky’s top 30 schools, there are 12 Greater Cincinnati schools that made the list. In both states, local schools were named the second-best school in the state by U.S. News & World Report. “Nearly 18,000 schools were ranked on six factors based on their performance on state assessments and how

that a group of individuals from the Northern Kentucky Convention Center were going to stay at Springhill Suites. “Again, there was no inclusion in the discussion or planning with the City of Florence, Boone County, Boone County Emergency Management or the Northern Kentucky District Health Department,” Whalen said. Florence is Northern Kentucky’s second-largest city, home to just over 32,000 people. It was also the second most common Northern Kentucky city where people experiencing homelessness in the region had their last stable home, according to a report from the Northern Kentucky Homelessness See HOMELESS, Page 2A

A NOTE TO READERS In keeping with best practices that have been put in place across the newspaper industry, the Community Recorder is phasing out its youth carrier program and replacing it with an adult delivery force. This decision was not made lightly. The tradition of “paper boys” and “paper girls” delivering the newspaper is a nostalgic part of our history. But in the interest of youth safety, we believe it’s the right thing to do. The change will take effect with July editions. In the meantime, please continue doing business with your youth carrier and thank them for their dedication and service. We also thank them for bringing you the Community Recorder each week and being a vital part of our team. Future editions of your newspaper will include a preaddressed envelope for mailing your subscription payment.

Working Group. That group is made up of organizations that provide services to people experiencing homelessness in Northern Kentucky. “We are in uncharted waters,” Whalen said. “This is only one of hundreds of diﬀ erent issues that local, state and national government agencies are dealing with every day that they’ve never dealt with before.”

What hotel housing will look like Hotel rooms off er people sheltering a chance to take showers. The convention center had no showers and Lord’s Gym, a fi tness center in Covington, was taking small groups to shower, Webb said. “In a hotel, our clients have access to showers, bathrooms, and laundry,” said Danielle Amrine, Welcome House’s CEO. “With so many of the businesses closed, our clients can’t practice good hygiene or have a place to use the bathroom. The clients become more transient, looking for resources.” Each day, Cornerstone Apostolic Church will provide breakfast. Fair Haven Rescue, a shelter in Covington, and Be Concerned, a Covington food pantry, will provide lunch. PeeWee’s Restaurant will provide hot dinners. Lord’s Gym will be doing regular grocery runs, according to a press release from Welcome House. Donations are being accepted to cover the costs of the hotel stay, providing meals and the continued support of supply purchases and paying staff , she said. “We’re doing this because it’s the right thing to do for the clients and our

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, resources were already sparse for people experiencing homelessness in Northern Kentucky. There are four shelters in Covington and one new shelter in a Florence church that opened its doors on a few bitter nights this winter. In 2019, the City of Covington drafted an ordinance that would restrict how the shelters in the city could operate. Many changes were made to the ordinance which was signed into law in February. Covington Mayor Joe Meyer told The Enquirer in a statement that he thought it was “critical” that people experiencing homeless are protected “during times like this” but added that he didn’t think the convention center was the best place for a temporary shelter during the public health pandemic. “Covington believes that relocating the popup shelter to another location gives another area of Northern Kentucky the opportunity to help fulﬁ ll this moral obligation.” Julia is the Northern Kentucky government reporter through the Report For America program.

Shirley Bernstein, restaurant entrepreneur of Mike Fink, BB Riverboats, dead at 97 Polly Campbell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Shirley Tennenbaum Bernstein who, along with her husband Ben, created one of the most infl uential and successful hospitality businesses in Greater Cincinnati, has died at her home in East Walnut Hills. She was 97. The Bernsteins opened the infl uential international restaurant El Greco, owned the Mike Fink riverboat restaurant for many years, put riverboats back on the river, and were involved in the development of the Covington riverfront in the ‘80s and ‘90s. “To call my mother a great lady isn’t quite enough,” said her son Alan Bernstein, who now runs BB Riverboats. “There were two things my parents did that made them successful: They had personality, and they always strove for perfectionism. Oh, and a third. They knew how to work hard.” Bernstein was born in Cincinnati in 1923 to Mose and Hattie Tennenbaum, and grew up in North Avondale. “They were a big Cincinnati family, her father knew everyone,” said Alan. “They were refi ned, the kind of people who dressed for dinner, wore white gloves. Mom was like that all her life. She dressed impeccably, her nails, her shoes always perfect. She was very beautiful. I never saw her underdressed.” She and Ben Bernstein met at Walnut Hills High School and dated at the University of Cincinnati. They married in 1943, just before he joined the Army. They had three children, and he ran a family business until 1964 when the family did something quite unexpected.

Shirley Bernstein

Ben was appointed to a position with the U.S. Agency for International Development in Ecuador, and the family moved to Quito. One of his duties was supervising the ﬁ rst class of Peace Corps volunteers who were helping Ecuadorean artisans become economically self-reliant. At their home in Quito, Shirley entertained visiting dignitaries and diplomats, something at which she was a natural. After four years in South America, they came back to Cincinnati and decided to open a restaurant, El Greco in Southgate, Kentucky. They ran it on the same principles of hospitality she brought to diplomatic entertaining. “My

parents lived at the restaurant. They treated everyone like they were coming to their home,” said Alan. “They didn’t really have a big social life. Their friends came to the restaurant to see them.” One of their fun, cheeky ads for the restaurant said: “If Ben and Shirley Bernstein didn’t like parties, they never would have made El Greco one of Greater Cincinnati’s ﬁ nest restaurants.” Shirley loved all kinds of cooking, said Alan, enjoyed food from all over the world. That eclecticism was reﬂ ected in the wide menu at El Greco that included French fondue Italian pastas and Ecuadorian ceviche. It took some time, but they made El Greco a destination restaurant. “It was a very forward-thinking restaurant,” said her grandson Brad Bernstein, who owns Red Feather Kitchen in Oakley. “They embraced global cuisine before that was common.” “My parents had a very progressive marriage,” said Alan, who joined the business with them when he was 21. “Dad was the business guy, Mom was operations: the food, the service, the decor, everything.” Alan remembers his mother as generous, an easy hit for a loan if you really needed it. “My parents were taskmasters, but they also would help anyone. They treated employees like family. We had employees who worked for us for 30 years after we gave them a second chance; after they got out of jail or something like that.” “She did not have an enemy. If you were mad at my mother, there was something wrong with you,” said Alan. She was also “vigorously honest,” ac-

cording to Brad. “She didn’t hesitate to say what she thought. But she appreciated what you did.” The Bernsteins’ operation became very successful. They bought a riverboat that was about to be sold to someone who wanted to take it to New Orleans, towed it across the river and opened it as the Mike Fink in 1977. That got them interested in riverboats for excursions, and they created BB Riverboats. Then they were invested in the Covington riverfront with Crockett’s River Cafe, and Covington Landing. They also owned several Chuck E. Cheese locations and two restaurants next to each other on Vine Street, Benjamin’s and Shirley’s, and ran Bensons Catering, now Current Catering. Ben Bernstein died in 1992, and by then, their two sons, Jimmy and Alan, had taken over much of the business. Jimmy went on to open Howl at the Moon saloons around the country. In later years, Shirley lived next door to her grandson Brad and her greatgrandchildren. “She was my best friend, the most important inﬂ uence in my life. My kids grew up under her wing.” “If she’d had a chance to change anything about her life, I don’t think she would have,” said Alan. She is survived by her sons Jimmy Bernstein and Alan Bernstein and her daughter Linda Peroﬀ , by seven grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren. There will be no public funeral service, but the family asks that any memorial donations be made to Hospice of Cincinnati, SPCA of Cincinnati or the Kentucky Restaurant Association.

Florence Aquatic Center closed for all of 2020 season Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Florence’s Aquatic Center will not open in 2020 due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, city oﬃ cials announced. City oﬃ cials said even with phase-in benchmarks lifting some of the restric-

tions that are currently in place, “it is clear that social distancing guidelines will most likely be applied to large public gatherings throughout the summer.” “The Aquatic Center is one of our ﬂ agship parks, and our residents and visitors love it; however, we are taking every precaution necessary to limit ex-

posure and lessen the potential spreading of COVID-19,” Mayor Diane Whalen said. “As much as we want to get back to normality, it will have to wait, unfortunately. The safety of our residents and visitors comes fi rst, always.” Offi cials said hiring adequate staff for the facility would be a challenge with a

shortened season. If you see the pool ﬁ lled, don’t get your hopes up, it will still be necessary to ﬁ ll the pool to protect the pool liner and pump equipment. Anyone who purchased a 2020 season pass to the Aquatic Center will be contacted about receiving a refund or transferring that to the 2021 season.

5 things to know about the small lab in Covington testing for COVID-19 Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A small medical lab in Northern Kentucky began testing for COVID-19 in the midst of the international pandemic. As the number of confi rmed cases increased across the U.S., Tony Remington, the CEO of Gravity Diagnostics, fi gured out how his lab could help ramp up testing for the disease. On April 5, Gov. Andy Beshear announced the lab agreed to provide the state with 2,000 daily tests. The lab started doing just six tests a day and increased to over 100 tests a day by the end of March. Here’s fi ve things to know about the lab:

1. Who runs Gravity Diagnostics? Tony Remington is the CEO of Gravity Diagnostics. His small private lab oﬀ Russell Street in Covington opened in 2016. Now, his team is part of the cohort of medical professionals testing novel coronavirus samples to slow the spread of the international pandemic.

2. Who gets the COVID-19 tests under the new agreement? Gravity Diagnostics agreed to test health care workers, ﬁ rst responders and people who are considered symptomatic, Beshear said April 5 at his press conference Before the lab contracted with Kentucky, it got COVID-19 samples swabbed from noses from people in Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio and West Virginia. The agreement will allow for testing outside of the so-called “golden triangle” region of Kentucky. The triangle, which includes Louisville, Lexington and Northern Kentucky, is considered the center of the state’s population, wealth and economic growth. In that region, Beshear said, the University of Kentucky and University of Louisville are providing quick turnarounds for testing.

Laboratory Technologist Roger Knauf, left, and Sarah Dell, test for COVID-19at Gravity Diagnostics in Covingto on March 24. The work is conducted in a secure area and the actual test is done behind glass. The lab was founded in 2014 and was approved for COVID-19 testing on March 16. The CEO is Tony Remington. LIZ DUFOUR/THE ENQUIRER

3. How quickly are the results ready? The results are sent to clinicians the same day, Remington told The Enquirer in March. As they begin to test more samples, the turnaround time will increase to 48 hours.

4. What did the lab do before?

A few months ago, Remington’s lab was testing for things like sexually transmitted diseases and the ﬂ u.

5. How did they get involved in COVID-19 testing? Remington’s team got authorization from the Food and Drug Administration in the middle of March, bought about

$500,000 worth of equipment they needed and got to work. The lab went from testing six samples a day, to more than 100 a day to about 2,000 a day with the new contract from the state.

After a recent hunt, we left empty handed. “A little too early,” Butch said. Charlene noted that the Mayapples and trillium were not yet blooming, another sign that we were a bit early. That was last week. Today I got a note from friend and chef Chris H., who found

morels near his home. That means one thing: I need to ﬁ nish this column so I can call my friends Char and Butch to let them know it’s time… Well, all this talk about morels had me hungry for something, anything with mushrooms. The “something” turned out to be a really yummy pasta dish calling for a blend of wild mushrooms. Nothing like that at my house (at least now) but I had some common, button mushrooms in the refrigerator. Just enough to lend an earthy, ﬂ avorful taste

to this pasta. This recipe originally called for 12 ounces to a pound of pasta. All I had was half a pound. I also didn’t have many mushrooms, but it turned out really saucy and good.

❚ Morels grow in the spring. Expensive to buy, a prized wild edible. ❚ A true morel has a cone-shaped cap and sponge-like texture. The cap is ridged and pitted inwards. The cap will be connected to the stem all in one piece. ❚ It’s totally hollow inside from the tip of the cap to the bottom of the stem. It sort of looks like a “morel mold.” ❚ Make sure you have a positive identiﬁ cation. For your ﬁ rst ventures, tag along with an expert. ❚ Not sure? Don’t pick/use. (There is a non-edible morel). ❚ For information and a photo tutorial, check out my abouteating.com site.

While pasta is cooking, make sauce: Heat olive oil and add mushrooms, garlic and half the chicken broth. Cook until mushrooms start to wilt, then add everything else but rest of broth, cheese and parsley. After mushrooms are cooked, add rest of broth and cook until mixture thickens a little. Stir in cream if you’re using it, cook a bit more, then adjust seasonings. Pour over pasta, give it a good shower of cheese, and a sprinkle of parsley or greens. Tips: No red pepper? Use whatever you have.

Dixie Heights players Ava Meyer, Maggie Fields and Ella Steczynski celebrate a run-scoring hit during St. Henry's 8-7 win over Dixie Heights in the 34th District softball championship game May 25, 2018, at Dixie Heights High School. JAMES WEBER/ENQUIRER

KHSAA cancels spring sports, Sweet 16 basketball James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

With Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear’s recommendation April 20 to close of all K-12 schools to in-person instruction for the remainder of the school year, the Kentucky High School Athletic Association Board of Control voted unanimously to not resume 2020 state basketball tournaments. The board also approved the cancellation of all regular-season practices and contests as well as all postseason tournament championship events for all spring sports and sport-activities for the 2019-20 school year. Besides the Ryle girls basketball and Covington Catholic boys basketball teams, this ruling aff ects the archery, bass fi shing, Esports, baseball, softball, tennis, and track and fi eld spring sea-

sons. KHSAA member school also will continue all coronavirus dead-period provisions until further notice. “We have until this point purposely taken a measured approach to the resumption of our basketball events and consideration of the ending of the spring seasons for sports and sport-activities,” KHSAA Commissioner Julian Tackett said. “We have accepted continual guidance from a variety of sources, and have steadfastly held on to hope that the great student-athletes who represent their schools through a variety of teams would have an opportunity to compete this season. “This is without question the most challenging period I have seen or faced in thirty-six years in this oﬃ ce. This impacts so many people, but in the end, is in the best interest of public health. We have been especially concerned with

the graduating class of 2020, those seniors who put so much into their athletic participation opportunities hoping for one last time to shine before the home crowds or at postseason events. We know for the vast majority of them, their future plans are already laid out, with college and career ﬁ nal preparation as their next chapter. In the end, however, the health and safety of all individuals, participants, coaches, and spectators, is much more important than the various interscholastic activities.” Tackett said in a release that this has been the most challenging period of his career. “Nothing in mine, or frankly, anyone else’s professional career completely prepared me for this situation since mid-March and the related subsequent decisions,” Tackett said. “That was probably the hardest thing to deal with. These kids don’t get a chance to

fi nish, especially the seniors, and it is as though they were robbed by an invisible enemy. It is sometimes a little easier in life when there is someone to blame. With this, however, there isn’t. We are all together fi ghting the same enemy with the same desired outcome.” The board and staff will continue discussions over the coming weeks to attempt to address issues related to the fall season. “It is far too early in this process and battle against this virus to place an absolute planned schedule or dates out there,” Tackett said. “We remain optimistic about the fall season, even if it isn’t exactly per normal, but we will adhere to the guidance of both federal and state health offi cials, as well as our own Department of Education and the governor’s offi ce in planning our next steps in the coming weeks and months.”

Closing of college forces athletes to scramble James Weber and Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

April 21 was a very diffi cult day for Jake Balsley. Within the span of a few hours, the Scott High School senior found out his 2020 baseball season wouldn’t happen after the Kentucky High School Athletic Association canceled the spring sports season because of the novel coronavirus pandemic. Then he found out he would have to fi nd a new place to play college baseball after Urbana University announced it would permanently close its campus, partially because of the pandemic. Balsley is one of dozens of Greater Cincinnati high school products who will have to fi nd a new place to continue their sports careers in addition to their studies. Urbana is an NCAA Division II

school located in Ohio about 90 minutes north of Cincinnati near Springfi eld. In addition to high school seniors who had committed to the school, at least 35 local graduates had played for sports programs at Urbana during the current school year and were set to either return next year, or were seniors who had just started new seasons this spring. The NCAA canceled all spring sports programs in March because of the novel coronavirus. “For a kid like Jake, he knows if he loses this season, he has an opportunity at Urbana,” Scott head baseball coach Kevin Goins said. “(Tuesday) was a whirlwind for him.” Balsley and other aff ected Urbana athletes immediately took to social media to promote themselves and try to fi nd a new place to play. Goins said he made multiple calls to coaches on Balsley’s behalf and his senior has quickly

drawn a lot of interest. Cincinnati Christian University shut down in October, 2019, putting many locals in a similar predicament. “There were a couple of kids I coached in summer ball that went to Cincinnati Christian,” Goins said. “Those two guys were in mid-semester when they found out the doors were shut. I told Jake at least you’re not leaving for Urbana tomorrow. It’s hard to get that across to a 17- or 18-year old that the sky’s not falling, but he’s adjusting to it.” Balsley, a right-handed pitcher and third baseman, was a big key for Scott last year. He pitched a complete game to defeat rival Campbell County in the 37th District championship game and was set to have a big 2020 for the Eagles. “He’s a kid you could count on every day,” Goins said. “He wanted the baseball in his hand, and he proved that in the district ﬁ nal against Campbell

County. We had the lead in the seventh inning, and he was at 100 pitches, and he said ‘Coach, I’m ﬁ nishing this.’ He wanted to be a part of something special and it turned out to be. He was a guy we were going to lean on heavily this season.” The Urbana baseball team had 12 local graduates on the roster this year. The head coach is Jake Oester, a Cincinnati native and McNicholas High School graduate who is the son of former Cincinnati Reds player Ron Oester. In the team’s last game of the 2020 season, a 1-0 win at Division I school Akron March 11, Newport Central Catholic graduate Ian Meyer pitched seven shutout innings, and Colerain graduate Marcel Toney provided the only run with a home run in the ninth inning.

High School, was the team’s leading hitter in 2019 (.371) and a second-team all-conference selection in the Mountain East Conference (MEC). Tyler Dellerman, a St. Xavier graduate, was second on the team in hitting and RBI last year, while hitting a teamhigh nine home runs and earning MEC freshman of the year honors. Monroe High School softball pitcher Alyssa Wagner also had both her fi nal prep season and college team wiped out in the same week. Wagner, the reigning Southwestern Buckeye League pitcher of the year, was 19-2 with a 0.78 ERA and a leagueleading 275 strikeouts last season, leading the Hornets to a division championship and a 19-4 record. Wagner committed to Urbana prior to her junior season. 13 months later, she’s looking for a new program to call home. Urbana juniors Izzy Helm and Britney Bonno are both Cincinnati products. Helm, a pitcher from Turpin, started 21 games in the circle over the past two seasons. Bonno, a fi rst-team GGCL selection at McAuley in 2017, hit .294 with 42 hits last season. Outfi elder Kaelyn Stenger hit .500 with 18 extra-base hits and 29 RBI last season to lead Little Miami to its fi rst Southwestern Ohio Conference title. She started her collegiate career at Urbana 3-for-15 at the plate before the university closed. The volleyball program at Urbana was led by two Cincinnati alumni. Sophomore Lexi Reinert out of Ursuline Academy has been a leader in kills the past two seasons. Courtney Niesen, a junior out of Roger Bacon, is a three-year starter at libero with 1,625 career digs. She was one of 22 individuals honored as a Division II Academic All-American. She was fi rst-team all-MEC and honorable mention all-region last fall, helping Urbana to the conference tournament fi nal for the fi rst time in team history. Tyra James out of Winton Woods was a senior this past season for the women’s basketball program, and was the MEC Player of the Year averaging 24 points per game for the Blue Knights, who fi nished 17-12.

Cincy was in a spot to head to a 10th straight NCAA Tournament if it won a game or two in the AAC bracket. Best of all for Brannen: he got a job upgrade, a pay upgrade, and he never had to move! Darrin Horn: Only two fi rst-year coaches took home automatic bids to a 2020 NCAA Tournament that never was. Horn and his NKU Norse were there with Belmont in doing so. The Norse fi nished 23-9 and won the Horizon League title out of the No. 2 seed spot, beating UIC in the championship game on March 10, about 44 hours before the season was killed. When NKU made this hire, Horn was a bolt from the blue; almost no one realized he was the favorite until news broke that he landed the job. One year in, it looks like the right call. The school has

CBS Sports’ Matt Norlander ranked the most successful 2019 college basketball coaching hires, and Nos. 4, 5 and 6 will get the attention of Cincinnati Bearcats and Northern Kentucky Norse fans. Norlander ranked UC’s John Brannen No. 4, NKU’s Darrin Horn No. 5 and UCLA’s Mick Cronin No. 6. From Norlander on all three: John Brannen: Mick Cronin’s departure for UCLA opened up a good job in Cincinnati, a school that doesn’t change coaches often. Enter stage left: Brannen, the former Northern Kentucky coach who made the most of a tricky situation (at times).

three tourney titles in four years. Mick Cronin: UCLA was the antiMichigan. The Bruins were nowhere near a success story — they looked outright dysfunctional through the ﬁ rst two months of the season — until we realized this team might actually go from an 8-9 record to snagging an atlarge tournament bid. It would have likely happened, completing one of the more ridiculous in-season turnarounds from a power-conference team we’ve ever seen. UCLA ﬁ nished 19-12 and was the No. 2 seed in the Pac-12 Tournament. It won nine Quad 1/2 games and managed to make Cronin look as good as almost any of his years at Cincinnati. The Bruins hired Cronin on April 9, 2019. Brannen was named the Bearcats’ head coach on April 14. And the Norse announced Horn as their head coach on April 23.

Help young people get more physical activity With the majority of Kentuckians staying home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, young people may be getting more screen time and less of the physical activity they need. Regular physical activity is extremely important, as it aids in young people’s growth and development, contributing to healthy bones and muscles and cardiovascular ﬁ tness. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends children between the ages of 6 and 17 need at Prim least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous aerobic physical activity each day. At least three days a week, the physical activity should be on the vigorous end. Youth also need to engage in physical activities that promote healthy bones and muscles at least three times a week. While this may seem daunting, youth do not have to complete the recommended physical activity all at once. They can spread it out

over the day, such as four 15-minute sessions or six 10minute activities. Ways that youth can get their required aerobic physical activity needs include riding their bikes, playing on their swing sets, doing cartwheels or other gymnastics moves, running, any kind of sport and vigorous dancing. You may appreciate that young people can also get physical activity by doing house and yard work. Games such as tug-o-war, climbing on home playground equipment, gymnastics and yoga can strengthen young people’s muscles. Jumping rope, hopping, skipping, running, gymnastics and any sport like basketball that requires a quick change of direction are great activities that help strengthen young people’s bones. Use fun family activities to encourage movement. Play an “as if ” game where you instruct your young person to act like something else for 30 seconds. For example, have youth jump in place, as if they were popcorn popping, run in place, as if they were an Olympic sprinter or march, as if they were in a marching band. You can incorporate math into physical activity by having young people act out math answers. For example, you can ask youth to hop up and down 10 minus 3 times. Ask them to provide you with the answer. Let your 4-H’ers creativity run wild by having them brainstorm and design ways to get more physical activity. Have them list the type of exercise, duration, equipment needed and directions for completing the activity. They may want to draw picture of how to complete their newly designed physical activity. Maintaining healthy habits like physical activity can follow young people throughout their lives. Research shows children who are more active when they are young tend to be more active adults. For more ideas on increasing your child’s physical activity, contact the Campbell County oﬃ ce of the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service.

The COVID-19 pandemic presents specifi c challenges for more than 5 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s, their caregivers and the nonprofi ts serving these vulnerable populations. As a current co-caregiver for my dad, I’m writing today to urge Congressman Massie to include the critical needs of people living with dementia and their caregivers in the next legislative stimulus package. Two critical issues include: The Promoting Alzheimer’s Awareness to Prevent Elder Abuse Act, which would require the DOJ to develop materials covering best practices to assist professionals who support victims of abuse living with dementia. The Improving HOPE for Alzheimer’s Act would increase the use of the care planning benefi t in order to help more families by educating clinicians on care planning services available through Medicare. Finally, during this crisis nonprofi ts are providing tremendous support to the communities they serve, despite facing economic hardships. Congress must establish an exclusive fund to support nonprofi ts with between 500 to 10,000 employees, including loan forgiveness to ensure charities like the Alzheimer’s Association can continue to eff ectively serve the communities that depend on them.

NKY Chamber now accepting nominations for upcoming Leadership Northern Kentucky Class The Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce’s Leadership NKY program is accepting nominations for the Leadership NKY Class of 2021, the program’s 42nd class. A nine-month program designed to help develop business and community leaders, Leadership NKY uses the community as a classroom to help participants gain an understanding of the strengths and challenges of the Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati area and the skills necessary to motivate and engage others in collaborative eﬀ orts to address them. “I am grateful for the Leadership Northern Kentucky program and how it has impacted my life,” said Kim Harp, Business Retention & Expansion Manager at REDI Cincinnati. “Inspiration was a huge theme throughout my class experience; after every class session I was inspired to get involved and to share with See COMMUNITY NEWS, Page 8B

19 Jack Mowat, 20, of Omaha, Neb., is a sophomore at Notre Dame studying civil engineering. A self-described crossword “fanatic,” he and his roommate used to solve the New York Times crossword together every day and hang the completed puzzles on the wall. The inspiration for this one was his dad, an avid golfer. This is Jack’s second puzzle for The Times.

Gyms are closed. Now what? Here are some ideas on how to stay fi t April 1; downdogapp.com. Did you know you can fi nd loads of free fi tness instruction from the library? Yeah, the brick and mortar buildings may be closed, but if you’ve got a library card, you can stream a number of exercise programs via the library’s Hoopla service. We found 80 diff erent streaming workouts for yoga alone! Hoopla’s interface is a little clunky, but just type an interest into the search bar, then click on format and fi lter for “television.” hoopladigital.com.

Luann Gibbs Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

From restaurants and bars to schools and libraries, it seems everything is closing in response to the growing novel coronavirus pandemic. Now add ﬁ tness centers and gyms. Staying active during this crazy time is more important than ever to our physical and mental health. Here are a few ways to keep ﬁ t without the gym.

1. Run, walk or bike outside This one’s pretty simple and something you’re probably already familiar with. Put on your running (or walking) shoes and hit the pavement. Whether you head to a designated trail or just circle a few blocks of your neighborhood, getting some fresh air and Vitamin D can do wonders for both mind and body. Great Parks of Hamilton County remain open for passive recreation like hiking, private boat access and ﬁ shing access. The agency is also waiving it’s Motor Vehicle Permit to make the parks more accessible. Just be sure to keep your distance if you meet others on the trails – Mayor Cranley says citizens should keep at least six feet apart in public. Indoors, try to use stairs whenever possible for a short burst of cardio. Every little bit helps.

2. Work out with your TV

This program is a unique platform to build strong relationships with classmates and the Leadership NKY network. There is a reason why so many leaders choose to stay engaged after they go through

3. Get creative about free weights

Roll out your yoga mat or towel in front of the television for a guided workout from any number of online fi tness sources. YouTube is by far the largest generator of fi tness channels, but that also means there’s a lot of junk to wade through. A few of the most popular channels are HASfi t, POPSUGAR Fitness, Fitness Blender, BeFit and Leslie Sansone’s Walk at Home. You can also fi nd more than 250 health and wellness channels on Roku. While some are fee-based channels, you can fi nd some pretty good ones for free, too. Home-based Workout Channel is a seven-day video series targeting a dif-

ferent muscle group each day. It’s got good instruction, but the camera work isn’t great. Get Healthy U TV off ers free 10-minute workouts and has a more professional look to it, and FitNation’s Fit At Any Age series off ers exercises that focus on specifi c areas of the body or a specifi c routine. You’ll fi nd professional quality and instruction here. Many fi tness centers like Planet Fitness and Fitness Marshall are doing Facebook Live online videos. The Down Dog family of apps, which includes Down Dog, Yoga for Beginners, HIIT, Barre and 7 Minute Workout, is allowing people to use the service for free until

If you rely on your gym’s dumbbells for weight-bearing exercises, it’s time to get a little creative. Water bottles and cans of beans or soup are a great replacement for 1-pound dumbbells. Put rubber bands around the cans or bottles for a better grip. Bags of onions, potatoes or citrus also work well as dumbbell substitutes in the 3-5 pound range. Don’t discard used laundry detergent bottles. The average 72-ounce bottle weighs about ﬁ ve pounds, making it a good choice for lifting. Just make sure it’s completely rinsed out, then reﬁ ll with water. Added bonus: comfortable handles! For heavier lifting, 160-ounce bottles can be substituted for 10-pound dumbbells. Gallon milk jugs can perform the duty in the eight-pound range, although the lids may not provide the same security as a laundry detergent bottle.

SCHOOL NEWS

Leo Kuper, a kindergartner at Florence Elementary, is busy being a superhero during the NTI (Non-Traditional Instruction) days by riding his scooter.

Rosie Kuper is being a superhero like her brother, Leo, a kindergartner at Florence Elementary, while blowing bubbles.

The Kupers, Leo, Zack, Rosie and Morgan are enjoying family time, one of Leo’s, a kindergartner at Florence Elementary, favorite activities during the NTI. The family is trying to continue the normalcy of life by participating in some chalk writing, leaving an encouraging message for others to see on the sidewalk.

Coping with the coronavirus How are you coping during the Coronavirus? The parents of Florence Elementary students are taking on multiple roles playing parent, teacher, entertainer, caregiver, and chef. After multiple weeks of this uncertain time, we all have a greater appreciation for each other. Our teachers are also working double duty between their own family and being supportive, available for guidance, grading work, and having open communication with their current students to help settle their mind during the Emergency Non-Traditional Instruction period. Students are being more appreciative of their parents, teachers, and classmates as they miss the routine of going to school and being part of the extracurricular activities. After some adjusting period, everyone is trying to ﬁ nd the normalcy and are settling in and taking one day at a time. Creativity and new ways to handle the daily tasks given on such a short notice. The community is graciously serving our families during this ever changing time. Locally, 7 Hills Church is providing “Go Packs,” United Way is oﬀ ering ac-

Our rocking cafeteria staﬀ is preparing both breakfast and lunch to help those in need. Our bus drivers are delivering food and smiles to students in their communities. Florence Elementary has reached out to our families inquiring who has been

superheroes during the COVID-19. We have so many superhero in our communities. The students are becoming superheroes too as they complete daily tasks like being dishwashers, cleaners, mess makers, readers and teachers to their younger siblings. Students have been study buddies, board game players, and they are becoming super family members. A FES parent of three, commented

how one of the most challenging obstacle is “ﬁ nding a good balance, a routine for all to follow, and being at home has its distractions along with stressful feelings can be overwhelming. There have been some mental and emotional days but at the end of the day we’re all in this together. Families, schools, and our community need to be reminded to breathe and enjoy the time we have together.” According to Principal Resing, “This time will soon be remember as a blink of time when the normalcy of life returns but our lives will forever be changed.” Only a few short weeks ago teachers were talking about spring break and teaching students in classrooms; today Florence Elementary is navigating by Google Meet, Zoom, and Google Classrooms while trying to keep everything disinfected. Hopefully soon and these days will not seem so stressful because we are KNIGHT STRONG and we know how the story ends… victorious! The outbreak has impacted everyone’s life but it has also brought us closer as a school, community and a family unit. Today we realize the important things in life are not things at all but people and relationships. Kathy Kuhn, Florence Elementary
