This is Alyssa Wray, our local ‘American Idol’ top 10 contestant Chris Varias Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – April 29. Visit Cincinnati. com for possible updates. Like a college basketball star good enough to play in the NBA, Alyssa Wray might be one-and-done in the best kind of way. The Northern Kentucky University freshman continues to advance through the rounds of “American Idol.” The 19year-old enters Sunday’s episode as one of 10 remaining contestants with hopes of surviving to the end of the show. Whether she wins the whole thing or gets cut this weekend, Wray – a native of Perryville, Kentucky, two hours south of Cincinnati – is unsure of her next move. Wray and the other nine contestants will each be singing one song from the following list: “A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes” (“Cinderella”); “Remember Me” (“Coco”); “Real Gone” (“Cars”); “When She Loved Me” (“Toy Story 2”); “Go the Distance” (“Hercules”); “Baby Mine” (“Dumbo”); “When You Wish Upon a Star” (“Pinocchio”); “Into the Unknown” (“Frozen II”); “You’ll Be In My Heart” (“Tarzan”); and “Circle of Life” (“The Lion King”). Which contestant will be singing which song has not been revealed. Viewer voting will decide the winners. The show airs 8 p.m. on ABC. Wray hopped on a phone call before her next “Idol” hurdle. Question: Why did you choose NKU to pursue a musical-theater degree? Answer: I completed this program the summer after my junior year called Governor’s School for the Arts, and one of the scholarships that you could have when completing the program was basically full tuition at NKU, so that’s what introduced me to the school. I went and visited, and I really liked it. Q: What’s Perryville like? A: Super small. A little bit under 800 people in it. There’s a Dollar Store, two gas stations and a lot of churches. There’s an elementary school, too. Q: Were you introduced to music through the internet, since there wasn’t a thriving arts community

there? A: Sort of. I really got into music through church. I started singing at church. But you’re right about how being in a small town there’s not a lot of arts and culture. I always struggled with fi nding community theaters. There’s one in the county that I live in and there’s one in the county over. But other than that I didn’t have opportunities that a lot of kids had. I had to do a lot of it at home and at school and at church. Q: Did your brief time at school, being away from home for the fi rst time
and going to a bigger metropolitan area prepare you for going to Los Angeles? I imagine it might have been more diffi cult going straight from Perryville to LA without fi rst spending a little time here. A: It totally prepared me. When I came to the auditions in California back in November, I had my mom with me. I was so attached to her. I hadn’t been in school that long. After being at school until about the beginning of March, I don’t want to say I got used to being alone, because I hate being alone, but
being alone as far as making decisions and buying groceries and doing all that, because I have to do all that here. Q: Do you choose a song because you like it or is it more important that the song suits your talents? A: I have two decisions that go into it. I always like the song. I’m pretty versatile because of musical theater, so I love all kinds of music. The two things that go into it are if I have a moment in there that I can showcase what I can do, beSee ALYSSA, Page 2A
Levee to roll out slate of new bars, eateries Randy Tucker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Beeline, a cocktail bar with an outdoor patio, will open this fall at Newport on the Levee, according to North American Properties (NAP), which is redeveloping the town-center-style shopping center on the banks of the Ohio River. Beeline will occupy a 2,800-squarefoot space at the Levee with garagedoor style entries that open to panoramic views of the Ohio River and Cincinnati skyline, NAP recently announced. Beeline’s fi rst location opened at Easton Town Center in Columbus last year. It's operated by Cincinnati-based hospitality company, Four Entertainment Group (4EG), which has more than a dozen other bars and restaurants in Chicago and Cincinnati, including Igby’s, Mount Adams Pavilion and The Roosevelt Room.

Clues trickle in about mystery cemetery just say my car's passenger and back seats have a certain reputation among my friends and family. I recently got a press release about a trash collection incentive program in Kenton County. Kenton County Solid Waste Division has used grant money to pay nonprofi t organizations $100 per mile to pick up trash off of approved roadways within Kenton County. Recently, the KY Bombers/Covington Athletics participated. "The experience of collecting items and forgotten pieces of everyday life was empowering," club member Daria Kirtley wrote in the release. "It was empowering observing the various items spread across our beloved streets slowly disappear into our black bags of concealment and once again become the beautiful natural green landscape that our community values." Nonprofi ts can join in until September 30. Funds are limited and spots are given to groups on a fi rst come, fi rst serve basis, according to the release. To apply to participate in the program, visit https://www.kentoncounty.org/566/Trash-for-Cash.

This is an installment of reporter Julia Fair's series "By the way, NKY." Here, you'll fi nd what's going on in Northern Kentucky. If there's something you think should be included, email reporter Julia Fair at jfair@enquirer.com
A cemetery clue Do you guys remember how the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet was searching for family members of people buried near a soon-to-be-expanded road in Kenton County? The article intrigued a few readers. One reader even emailed me to tell me about a cemetery moved to make room for a new house in Kenton County . I really, really, really wanted to help solve the intersection cemetery mystery. Weeks went by and I didn't hear from anyone who knew anything about it, including the transportation cabinet which launched the search. Then John Hoff man called. He grew up on the property where the graves are. "I mowed the area where the cemetery is that was encased in trees and some bushes, so it was very private," Hoff man, 65, of Erlanger, told me. Hoff man's parents doled out chores for Hoff man and his older brother, Greg. John Hoff man spent eight hours every week or so mowing the family's three acres, including the cemetery space. I had so many questions for him. What did it look like? Were there any names or dates on the grave markers? Most of the markers were so worn no one could decipher them, he told me. There was one marker, though, that had a date on it from the 1700s. Hoff man thinks it could have been a birthday. There weren't any easily identifi able names on the stones. Hoff man said his family thought the graves might have belonged to one of the fi rst families to settle in Northern Kentucky, the Bristows. That's because Hoff man's childhood home sits on the corner of Bristow Road and Mt. Zion Road. A family history website, written by Neil Allen Bristow in the early 2000s, said by the 1850s Reuben and Statira Bristows were living on Banklick Creek west of Independence in Kenton County. They had a 160-acre farm, named Maple Grove, according to the blog. Banklick Creek is a 19-mile-long tributary of the Licking River, according to the Kentucky Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet. I punched in "Banklick Creek to 785 Bristow Road" in Google Maps to see if the creek and house were near each other.

Unmarked graves in the woods cause issue for the construction of a new intersection at the intersection of Mt. Zion Road and Bristow Road in Kenton County, Kentucky. JOE TIMMERMAN/THE ENQUIRER
I traced the creek's twists and turns into into a larger stream, which passes Banklick Church, then fl ows southwest of Independence. Right before it follows Banklick Road in Independence, part of the stream curves to the west and fl ows adjacent to the Bristow Road home. So, Hoff man could be onto something. Bristow last updated his blog in 2009. I sent him an email to the address listed on the blog and failed to fi nd a phone number for him on Lexus Nexus, a research tool. I don't know where Bristow lives, or if he's still alive. I hope to hear from him or his family.

cause that’s how you win the audience over in each round. The second thing is I think about my audience. A lot of people don’t want to vote for a song that they don’t like. Even if you sounded good, they want to know the song. They want to know what you’re singing. I think about the demographic of the people watching, and I think about songs out of my catalog that I can sing that they’d enjoy, and I pick from that. Q: Doing a Disney song plays to your strength, doesn’t it, given your background in musical theater? A: That’s what everyone keeps saying, so I hope so. But I am adding some other parts. I have kind of a musical-theater part in it, and I have kind of a Whitney-Mariah part in it, and I have kind of an

theater, so people aren’t like, “that’s all she can do.” I wanted to show them multiple sides. Q: Jennifer Hudson recently sent you a DM. How did you handle
that? Do you just send her a thank you and never message her again, or does she immediately become your best friend and you start DM’ing her all the time?

A: She defi nitely didn’t become my best friend, but she did follow me on Instagram after that. I sent her a DM back telling her how much it meant to me. I like to think even though we didn’t keep messaging back, that’s kind of what this business is all about. It’s like connecting and networking and meeting people. So one day hopefully post-pandemic when we’re all working, I think that might play to my advantage. While we’re not besties, I think that’s a connection I’ve made in the industry. Q: Is it critical for you to win “American Idol” in order for you to reach your career goals? A: Not at all. I’m not ready to go home. I would love to win. It’s defi nitely

I think I could go home now and make a pretty good career. I’m along for the ride now. Q: When this is over, are you going back to school at NKU or are you going to stay out in LA? A: I’m still a little confl icted. I have a lot of paths that are revealing themselves to me right now . But I love LA. I never thought I’d love LA as much as I do. I used to think I’d never come out to LA because I used to hate riding planes, but I love LA a lot, so that’s defi nitely on my radar.

Brent Spence Bridge crash featured on ‘Hustle & Tow’ Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Here’s why there’s a big tarp shrouding the Brent Spence Bridge Briana Rice Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
A tarp on the Brent Spence Bridge has created a tunnel-like experience for drivers who are used to views of the Ohio River and downtown Cincinnati while on the bridge. The tarp shrouding the sides and the metal sheeting overhead are part of a containment system, according to Nancy Wood with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. Wood said they’re both in place to protect drivers from debris that is created by work that is taking place. Both the tarp and the metal barrier also keep debris from falling into the

water below, according to Wood. Work includes sandblasting the ex-
isting surface, then cleaning, then painting. Construction crews on the bridge are working on both the Ohio and Kentucky approach as well as the main structure of the bridge. The project should be completed in November. 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.
Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – April 27. A Northern Kentucky towing company and its response to the fi ery Brent Spence Bridge crash were featured on a new A&E show. Smith’s Towing and Recovery, based in Erlanger, were featured in two episodes of “Hustle and Tow“ on Tuesday, April 27 starting at 10 p.m. According to the show description, it will show the company’s response to the November Brent Spence Bridge crash. A semi-truck hauling potassium hydroxide crashed into another jackknifed truck on the Brent Spence Bridge, which caused a fi re that shut down the bridge for weeks. “On a famously treacherous thoroughfare, Eddy, from Smith’s Towing in Kentucky, needs to clear a jackknifed tractor-trailer before it causes additional accidents,” an episode description reads. The second episode focused on the Brent Spence Bridge crash. In a Facebook post from December, the company said the crash was “the biggest wreck of my career.”

These Greater Cincinnati schools make list of best in U.S. Briana Rice Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Cincinnati has some of the best high schools around, according to a new report from US News and World Report. For its annual list, the US News Best High Schools ranked around 17,860 public high schools after reviewing nearly 24,000 public high schools in 50 states and the District of Columbia. The rankings came out recently and include some familiar names in Greater Cincinnati. In Ohio, Walnut Hills High School tops the list but eight other local high schools also ranked in the top 30 in the state. In Kentucky, fi ve local high schools ranked in the top 30 in the state. According to the study, schools are evaluated on six factors: college readiness, reading and math profi ciency,
reading and math performance, underserved student performance, college curriculum breadth and graduation rates.

In fact, more job opportunities are expected. “The merger of Meals on Wheels and CASS makes sense from every angle,” said Michael Murphy, who will be the new board vice-chair. “By coming together, these two strong organizations gain effi ciencies that will allow them to channel their focus on continued growth and innovation. Every senior, and every person who cares about them, should celebrate this news – and anticipate many good things to come as a result.” Dan Driehaus, who will be the chair of the new board, emphasized the important role that the delivery drivers play in checking on seniors. “Amazon knows how to deliver a box. We know the importance of visiting seniors to check on their welfare. We take time to observe their environment. We chat. We listen. We care. For many of our seniors, our meal delivery person might be the only person they interact with all day. Our meal delivery is simply an extension of our interest in their well-being.” Elliot Grossman, Ashire Communications

Here are the top-ranked Greater Cincinnati schools:
Two Cincinnati area nonprofi ts merge to enhance services to older adults Two nonprofi ts that serve older adults in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky have merged to form one of the largest local community-based organizations that provides direct services to seniors. The merger of Cincinnati Area Senior Services and Meals on Wheels Southwest OH & Northern KY will serve more than 10,000 seniors annually with about 150 employees and 800 volunteers. The number of meals delivered to seniors’ homes per year is likely to exceed 1.4 million. The organizations have chosen to use the name “Meals on Wheels Southwest OH & Northern KY” because of the strong, positive recognition of the Meals on Wheels brand. The leaders of both nonprofi ts are confi dent this action will position the organizations to provide the best possible services for many years. Seniors need these services now more than ever, not only because of the pandemic but also because of the ongoing, exponential growth in their population. That growth is outpacing the resources available to serve seniors and putting their health and well-being in jeopardy. “This merger makes a bold statement – and a promise: Working with our communities, our combined organization will tackle the challenges facing us so that every senior enjoys the support and dignity that they deserve,” said Jennifer Steele, who will serve as CEO of the merged organization. The larger scale of the organization, along with a $4 million grant last year from philanthropist MacKenzie Scott, will fuel innovation – to bring about transformational change. The leaders also believe there is a signifi cant opportunity to eliminate duplication of services between the organizations. “This is a great day for seniors and together we are going to do amazing things,” said Tracey Collins, CEO of

Covington neighbors rally to save urban farm Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
COVINGTON, Ky. – Luna Vickers, 2, stretched out her hand to feed a cluster of chittering chickens. The chickens live here, at Orchard Park, in Covington’s Westside at the corner of Orchard Street and Locust Street. The space is bordered by identical shotgun-style houses on one side, and buildings with faded paint and boarded windows on another. Vickers and her mom, Gloria San Miguel, 31, visit the space to learn, play and garden with other neighbors. During the past seven years, residents transformed this half-acre lot into a community garden where strawberry plants bloom, beehives buzz and neighbors swap produce. But this space has technically belonged to the city since the early 2000s. Its plan to have developers transform the space into housing was derailed by the Great Recession. So, the space sat vacant. Neighbors on the block turned it into the urban farm it is today. It became so popular, that a real estate agent used it in promotional pictures to sell home. In early 2020, the city revived the plan to build homes because of the recent investments in the Westside neighborhood and because of the city’s shortage of available housing. And, it reiterated to the neighbors it has always allowed the garden to run only temporarily. In the past 10 years, the median house sale prices increased 177% in Covington. And, the average number of houses that went on the market in the same time decreased 17%, according to an Enquirer analysis of data provided by the Northern Kentucky Association of Realtors. “There are things that are becoming out of reach in this neighborhood for many of the residents here,” said Covington resident Ana Summe. “But this is something that everybody can participate in.” The gardeners have collected hundreds of signatures to preserve their garden and encourage development elsewhere.
How the garden came to be The space was among a handful of plots the city bought for blight removal
Luna Vickers, 2, and her mother, Gloria San Miguel, feed chickens at Orchard Park in Covington on April 12. For the last seven years residents have turned the plot of land into a community garden, planting fruit trees, herbs and vegetables as well as raising chickens. ALBERT CESARE / THE ENQUIRER
and demolition. The initiative was a response to the deteriorating housing stock and complaints of criminal activity said Covington’s Neighborhood Services Director Ken Smith in an email to The Enquirer. Soon after, the Great Recession “created a very diffi cult environment for development activity, both nationally and locally,” Smith said. The lot was vacant until 2014. That’s when a few neighbors created a group called Grow the Cov with dreams of gardening produce steps away from their homes. A founding member of the group signed an agreement with the city to temporarily use the space for a community garden. When that member moved, the formal group dissolved. But people kept gardening and formed the new group, Orchard Park Urban Farm Project. That initial contract with the city is technically defunct, since the founding member doesn’t live in Covington anymore. Garden management shifted to Janet Tobler, 57, who lives steps away from the garden on Lee Street. In March, Tobler got a text from a neighbor.

“Have you heard?” The city released a request for developers to propose housing plans for nearby spaces, including the garden. The city plans to develop half of the garden into single-family housing and half into a neighborhood park. Smith, Covington’s Neighborhood Services Director, said adding the park was a compromise not included in the original plans. It could be a playground, urban agriculture space or passive greenspace, he said. It’s part of a wider eff ort to develop 17 Westside properties to bring more housing to the neighborhood, Smith said. He added “a few people have complained about that ‘change,’ but we have also received a signifi cant amount of support and praise for these eff orts.” Smith suggested people use the nearby Riddle-Yates Community Garden, which is also managed by residents in partnership with nonprofi t The Center for Great Neighborhoods of Covington. The original agreement to use the space, although defunct, required the city to give gardeners 30-day notice to terminate the agreement. The city has done that, Smith said. Smith told neighbors about the housing plans at a neighborhood meeting in January 2020. And,
the development applications are due in May. “I wasn’t necessarily surprised because the city has been talking about developing this area for a really long time, but nothing has ever come of it,” Tobler said. Development talks reignited at the January 2020 neighborhood meeting. Ana Summe, 42, attended the meeting and said, “it was very clear that the neighbors were expressing that they would like to keep this entire green space here.” Some neighbors moved to the block specifi cally for Orchard Park, and worry that the development will make the neighborhood unaff ordable. Derinda Chalfant, 68, of Covington, pointed to properties on Lee Street, close to the garden, that are being renovated and sold quickly. She suggested “people that would look into buying those properties would be far more interested if they had something like this to come to or even walk by instead of just another condo.” San Miguel said she’s had to chase rent prices to aff ord to live nearby. At fi rst, she thought she and her daughter might be able to move into the proposed housing. “But I already know the answers to that,” San Miguel said. “The answer would probably be no, it would be too expensive.”
What’s next The development applications are due on May 4.

Citrus curd: ‘A lovely addition to a tea party or as a Mom’s day dessert’ Double citrus curd
Luscious citrus curd mousse
Feel free to substitute all lemon or lime juice, or a combo of both like I did.
Can be made a day ahead, covered, in refrigerator.
Ingredients
Garnish right before serving.
1 cup granulated sugar
Ingredients
⁄ 3 cup each: fresh lemon and lime juice
1
⁄ 4cup cold citrus curd
3
1 cup very cold whipping cream
5 large eggs, room temperature
⁄ 2 cup powdered sugar
1
⁄ 2 cup butter, melted and kept hot
1
2-3 tablespoons lemon juice (optional but good)
Instructions Combine sugar, juice and eggs in blender. Whirl on medium speed until well mixed.
Instructions Combine curd, whipping cream, sugar and lemon juice.
On low speed, add butter slowly in thin stream. This is called “tempering” the eggs and helps prevent curdling during cooking. (You can also do this with a whisk and some elbow grease …) Transfer to saucepan and cook over low heat, whisking or stirring constantly. Curd will be foamy as you whisk during the fi rst few minutes. After 10 minutes or so, it will thicken enough to leave a “track” on the spatula when you run your fi nger down the center. Temperature will be about 170 or so, just below a simmer. Hot enough to kill bacteria but not so hot that it scrambles the eggs. Curd will look thin but fi rms to a soft set in refrigerator. Store in refrigerator, covered, up to two weeks.
Whip until fairly stiff and soft peaks form.
Citrus curd tarts are a spring-like dessert. PHOTOS BY RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE ENQUIRER

What do you do when you clean out the freezer and fi nd a container of whole lemons and limes? Well, you can do what I did: make citrus curd. Yes, you can freeze lemons and limes whole. Use within a couple of months if you can. When frozen citrus is thawed, it will exude lots of juice, so that’s a bonus.
Here’s a recipe for my favorite citrus curd along with ways to use it. A lovely addition to a tea party or as a Mom’s day dessert. Now I garnished the desserts with what I had on hand – edible red bud, roses and violet fl owers, along with mint and lemon verbena leaves. Fresh berries make a beautiful and tasty garnish, as well. Tip: Grow your own lemon or lime tree The lime and lemon seeds are fun for the little ones to grow. Pot them up, keep moist in a sunny location and in a week or so, seeds will start to sprout.
Makes two cups. Oh no, my citrus curd curdled! The temperature got too high. Pour through a strainer, and you’ll be OK. Most likely it’s the whites – they cook at a lower temperature than yolks.
Spoon into whatever fun wine glass, punch cup, demitasse cup, small bowl – your choice! Let fi rm up in refrigerator, covered, an hour before serving, or up to a day. Serves 4-5.
Desserts garnished with edible red bud, roses and violet flowers, along with mint and lemon verbena leaves.
Citrus curd tarts Fill pre-baked phyllo shells or cookie tart shells. Or make your own with pie pastry or phyllo in tart pans or small muffin tins. Fill about an hour prior to serving, and garnish right before serving.

A church’s search for the sailor in a photo tucked under Virgin Mary Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
In early March, staff at St. Henry Catholic Church in Elsmere hoisted a statue of the Virgin Mary out of the place of worship to be cleaned and repaired. The ordinary routine would soon become the talk of this Northern Kentucky congregation. Mary’s departure revealed she had been concealing a picture of a Navy sailor under her base. No one knew who the sailor was, when it was placed there, or if he survived. “We don’t know if it was last year or years ago,” a church bulletin read. “Does anyone know who this is?” A parishioner, Kenny Bodner, then called his longtime friends Marietta, 67 and Tom Echlin, 66. “Marietta, you won’t believe what happened.”
Growing up The Echlins moved from Michigan to Kentucky when Marietta was six months pregnant in the early ‘80s. Marietta found their home on a hill in Erlanger that had the two-car garage on Tom’s house wish list, something that made it easier to restore vintage vehicles. There, they raised two kids: older sister Elissa and son Evan. That garage eventually housed Evan’s high school rock band which played early 2000s Green Day songs while Tom grilled in the backyard. It’s also where Tom restored Evan’s fi rst-ever car, a salvaged red Fox body Mustang, dating from the late ‘80s. A 16-year-old’s dream car. “What were we thinking?” Marietta joked. Growing up, Evan “had a math mind,” his mother said, adding he played the drums, joined the football team and swam in the neighborhood pool. When it was time for college, Marietta and Tom dropped off Evan – 17 at the time – at Morehead State University in Morehead, Kentucky. Evan, with the red Mustang along for the ride, would stumble a bit during those fi rst years of college. Two years in, a friend of Evan’s crashed the Mustang into a guard rail. Another time, a friend slammed a door on Evan’s fi ngers that prompted a trip to the hospital and a few stitches. “You know, honey, I can’t run down to Morehead to save you, and I think you need to come home,” Marietta recalled saying to Evan. He had struggled with direction at Morehead, Marietta said. He often changed majors and wasn’t sure what kind of career he wanted. So he moved back to Erlanger. Soon enough, though, Evan was making alternate plans. “We’re at the dinner table, and he said ‘I joined the Navy,’” Tom said. “We both fell off our chairs.”
Joining the Navy Since Evan already completed two years of college, a Navy recruiter told him he could be promoted quickly. So, at 20 years old, Evan enlisted. Marietta’s friends bombarded her with questions.

Tom and Marietta Echln, outside the Erlanger home where they raised their two children.
“Aren’t you afraid? Aren’t you worried?” Of course she was. But Marietta relied on her faith for comfort. “You have to, at one point, put it in the hands of the Lord,” Marietta said. “You know, what’s meant to be is meant to be. It’s not for me to determine. I put it in the back of my mind, the danger of the job.” Still, she would have done anything to keep him safe. Evan left for basic training in Chicago. And one day, when Marietta was alone in the church, she tucked Evan’s picture under a statue of Mary. Then he was deployed on a carrier. At the beginning of his career, Evan oversaw catching planes landing on the U.S.S. Eisenhower, a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. (It’s a tricky job: To land properly, a jet has to snag a hook in be-
tween its wheels that allow an attached steel cable wire to stop the plane.) Evan also calibrated equipment and conducted satellite imaging. The G.I. Bill allowed him to earn his Bachelor’s degree in Virginia and a graduate certificate online from Penn State University. When Marietta didn’t know what ocean he was on or what time zone Evan was in, she knew he could be in danger. She emailed him. She kept him in her prayers.
The fi nd When her friend Kenny Bodner recently called about the picture, Marietta told him she forgot she ever put it there. She never told anyone. Not even Evan. Even when he was in harm’s way. The aching memories of wanting to
keep Evan safe fl ooded her mind as she dealt with the surprise of the picture’s discovery. When Marietta called Evan, now 35, to tell him about it, he felt loved. “She did something, like, so seemingly insignifi cant but also very powerful,” Evan said. “It was inspiring to me and very fl attering that she would do that for me.” He believes Mary protected him, he said, as the Navy took him to Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Dubai, Turkey and so many more places. Looking back, Evan sees the crushed fi nger and car incidents as the “triggers” that lead him to the military. “I didn’t kick the door and smash my fi nger and I didn’t wreck my car. But I certainly enabled those things, in a sense,” he said. He said joining the military “was the best decision,” he ever made. Now, he works with geographic information systems on a military base in Jacksonville, Florida. The software allows him to map roads and utility networks on the military base, even monitor sea turtle’s health. “Coming from where I did,” he said, I feel like I could never have accomplished that without my family support and my mother’s faith.” Julia Fait is the Northern Kentucky government reporter through the Report For America program.

Parking ban on Dixie Highway-Pike Street Brook Endale Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
One consequence of the state-managed Brent Spence Bridge maintenance project: Trucks and out-of-town drivers jamming narrow city streets in search of a shortcut around the backed-up traffic. PROVIDED/COVINGTON
A parking ban on Dixie HighwayPike Street went into eff ect April 28, an eff ort by city of Covington offi cials to mitigate traffi c jams on city streets. Offi cials said they’re taking the step reluctantly due to traffi c caused by outof-town drivers seeking a way around the backed-up Brent Spence Bridge. “We absolutely would rather not take away any parking, or barricade off any streets. But we’re being forced to do so to prevent even bigger disruption caused by a project that is entirely beyond our control and not of our doing," City Manager David Johnston said in a release. He said they've already tried putting up barriers and signage designed to keep the drivers out of narrow neighborhood streets. Now, offi cials are temporarily prohibiting on-street parking in the curb lane of northbound Dixie Highway-Pike Street from the 1200 block at West 12th
Street, north to Bullock Street. Parking in the curb lane was already banned from 6-9 a.m. on weekdays but many people were disregarding the rule and that ban didn’t address the massive traffi c during rush hour, Johnston said. Offi cials said the change will aff ect about 24 spots and notices have been mailed or hand-delivered to property owners in that area explaining the temporary change. Maintaining two lanes of throughtraffi c instead of one lane should help prevent backlogs at the sharp curve near Be Concerned: The Peoples Pantry, where Western Avenue and Montague Road intersect with Pike Street, Johnston said. The parking ban on Dixie HighwayPike Street will last until Nov. 30, the anticipated completion date for the project. Johnston said the City will continue to consider other potential steps to react to the increased traffi c as they're trying to make the best of a bad situation.

SPORTS NKY Norsemen adjusted to, succeeded in pandemic hockey James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Like every sport, ice hockey has required plenty of adjustments from its players to keep on going during the pandemic. That required a lot of adjustments for players on the Northern Kentucky Norsemen varsity high school team, which is comprised of players from various high schools. The team is based at the Northern Kentucky Ice Center in Crescent Springs. When the Norsemen weren’t practicing or playing games there, they were traveling two-plus hours in any direction for games. “Hockey players are creatures of habit,” said head coach Jaime Antelo recently. “They’re used to getting to the arena early, having time to put their jerseys on, put their skates on and prepare for the game. A lot of the rinks we went to, we weren’t allowed in until 15 minutes before the game, and they were sometimes dressing in a cafeteria. But everybody had to deal with that, and our kids were resilient.” The Norse went 37-17-4 this season, losing to Owensboro in the Kentucky state championship, which is not sponsored by the Kentucky High School Athletic Association. Victorious Owensboro won a berth in the national championships. “We played very well in that game,” Antelo said. “It’s hard seeing those kids not get that fi nal victory, but I’m proud of them.” The Norsemen have reached the state fi nal for fi ve straight seasons. They won it in 2017 and 2019, and played in the national tournament those years, as well as 2020 after the state champion was unable to participate. The Norse will make further bids for titles without Antelo, who was just named an assistant coach with the Cincinnati Junior Cyclones in junior hockey. Antelo picked up his 300th career win this season and was a two-time Kentucky high school coach of the year. Tryouts for next season’s team will take place May 8-9 at the Northern Kentucky Ice Center. More information is available at NKYHA.com. Seniors are Ethan Cross, Tanner Kathman, Juan Guzman, Nathan Sunderhaus, Brennan Sheff el, Kayden McMullen, Lukas Rintala and Eric Wiesner. Sunderhaus, a Conner High School senior, will play junior hockey next season. He led the team with 80 goals and 60 assists, far more than another player. “I knew from watching him years ago that he was a special talent,” Antelo said. Kathman, from Scott High School,

had 14 goals, 12 on the power play, with 26 assists, and leads the defense. Guzman had 14 goals and 19 assists. Cross had 11 and 13, Sheff el (Brossart) 7 and 17, McMullen 2 and 12, Rintalla 11 and 23 and Wiesner 3 and 10. Several seniors will play in college next year. Underclassmen led the way in scor-

ing this year. Garrett Elliott had 38 goals and 33 assists, Jack Peirol 27 and 32, Mark Dugan 28 and 18 and Jacob Vegso 26 and 23. Northern Kentucky averaged 5.5 goals per game. All but one position player on the roster had at least two goals this season. Tyler Black and Tyler Siuda split time in goal and each allowed less than two goals per game.
Antelo enjoys the pride and joy of being a coach. Several former players are currently playing college in Kentucky and elsewhere. “The camaraderie with the boys,” he said last year. “The bond you build with those kids. It’s great that after they graduate, you see them go on into college and junior hockey. It’s fun to watch them develop into good people.”

On Feb. 26, he became Simon Kenton’s all-time leading scorer in the boys program and fi nished with more than 2,400 points. SK fi nished 16-9 this season, losing at the buzzer in the Eighth Region semifi nals to North Oldham. Highlands senior Sam Vinson was the Ninth Region nominee. He averaged 22.3 points per game this season and stepped it up in the Sweet 16 for the Bluebirds, who won their fi rst state championship earlier this month. He was named Sweet 16 MVP after averaging 23.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 5.5 assists in the tournament, and totaling 10 blocks and 11 steals. Highlands fi nished 30-4.

The Maketewah Country Club played host Thursday, April 22, to the 54th annual National Football Foundation’s scholar-athlete awards banquet, which honored several premier high school football stars from Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. La Salle senior quarterback Zach Branam won the Southwest Ohio “That’s Our Boy” award, named after longtime Cincinnati Post sportswriter Joe Quinn. “Zach (Branam) is one of the fi nest young men I have ever been around,” La Salle football coach Pat McLaughlin said. “He leads by example on and off the fi eld. We talk about graduating men at La Salle High School who have been leaders in body, mind and spirit, and Zach has done that for the last four years.” Branam, who holds a 4.55 GPA, is committed to the U.S. Naval Academy. Over the last two seasons, Branam threw for more than 3,200 yards, ran for 2,789 and accounted for 65 total touchdowns. He led La Salle to backto-back regional championships and a Division II state title in 2019. Branam becomes the third Lancer to win the “That’s Our Boy” award, joining Joe Burger (2012) and Ryan Murphy (1984). “Football has, and always will, mean the world to me,” Branam said. “It has taught me valuable lessons that I apply to my everyday life, and as a result, helped me become the man I am today.” Finalists for the award included: Indian Hill’s Will Klekamp; Waynesville’s Jake Amburgy; Goshen’s Erik Eickenhorst; Little Miami’s Reis Stocksdale; Bethel-Tate’s Luke Frondorf; Turpin’s Gabe Hickman; Fairfi eld’s Jaydan Mayes; Wyoming’s Joop Mitchell; Northwest’s Diego Neri and Madeira’s Cannon Shafer.
Covington Catholic off ensive and defensive lineman Ben Dickhaus won the Northern Kentucky “That’s My Boy” Award, named after former winner and Covington Catholic standout Brian P. Williams. “Ben (Dickhaus) grew into a warrior for our football program over the past couple years,” Covington Catholic head football coach and former “That’s My Boy” award winner Eddie Eviston said. “His work ethic in the weight room allowed him to be an integral part of our team on both sides of the ball in the trenches. “You know that you are going to get your best from Ben no matter the situation and that makes him a fl at-out winner. His dedication and commitment to our program will be greatly missed.” Eviston, who has led Covington Catholic to two state championships in the last four seasons, presented the award to his former teammate on behalf of the Northern Kentucky Football Coaches Association. Dickhaus, who owns a 3.9 GPA and
an ACT score of 34, was a fi rst-team AllNorthern Kentucky and Class 5A allstar for the Colonels. He plans on studying biomedical engineering at the University of Cincinnati. Dickhaus was the eighth Covington Catholic player to win the “That’s My Boy” award and the fi fth since 2014. A Colonel has now won the award in each of the last three years as Dickhaus joined Jack Coldiron (Miami) and Michael Mayer (Notre Dame). “Football has taught me many lessons to which I can apply to my daily life and my future,” Dichkaus said. “It gives me courage to solve a problem, determination to be better every day and the discipline to do every little thing right.” Finalists included: Conner’s Nicholas Keller; Ryle’s Matthias Cusick and Newport Central Catholic’s Jack Greene. The ceremony was trimmed in length with limited spectators due to the pandemic and did not include a Tom Potter Memorial Award of Courage recipient or the naming of Greater Cincinnati Chapter Collegiate Scholar-Athletes.
nominated. He was the Fourth Region fi nalist from Bowling Green High School, where he led the Purples to a 24-3 record and the state quarterfi nals. Northern Kentucky has had three Mr. Basketball honorees: Neltner, Holmes legend Doug Schloemer in 1978 and Pendleton County’s Dontaie Allen in 2019. Ryle senior Brie Crittendon was the Ninth Region girls nominee. The Eastern Kentucky commit averaged 15 points per game for the Raiders, who fi nished 23-3 and were stateranked all season, winning the 33rd Dis-
trict tournament and falling to Notre Dame in the 9th Region semifi nals. Crittendon was a key part of Ryle’s 2019 state champions. Recently named a McDonald’s All-American nominee, she fi nished with nearly 1,800 career points. She was bidding to become the second Ryle player in a row to win the award, following Maddie Scherr, who just completed her freshman season at Oregon. Scott senior Mya Meredith was the 10th Region girls nominee. The Western Kentucky commit averaged 20 points
per game this season. She missed the postseason with injury for the Eagles, who fi nished 16-9 and a 10th Region semifi nalist. Scott senior Sofi a Allen was earlier named the winner of the annual Donna Murphy Award. She averaged 15 points per game this year for the Eagles. Past locals to win Miss Basketball include Scherr, Walz, Donna Murphy of Newport (1976), Katie Schwegmann of Bishop Brossart (2001), Erica Hallman of Holmes (2002), and Sydney Moss of Boone County (2012).

COMMUNITY NEWS Party on the Purple returns For the fourth year, the “Party on the Purple” series is returning to the Purple People Bridge this spring and summer. Presented by ColdIron Events and the Purple People Bridge the free weekly summer party series – which includes live music, food trucks, beer, wine, and spirits – will run every Wednesday evening until Aug. 4. Christian Moerlein, Little Kings, Braxton Brewery and Vive are all sponsors of this year’s series. Each night will have a theme, such as Single’s Night, 80’s Night, Dog Night, and much more. As in past years, the Party on the Purple will run from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. “The Purple People Bridge is thrilled to host the ever-popular Party on the Purple once again this year. We are proud to be one of the fi rst venues to safely open back up for public events outside,” said Will Weber, incoming President/CEO of the Newport Southbank Bridge Company. “The fi rst week of May is actually National Small Business Week and National Travel and Tourism Week- what a great opportunity to open back up for events. These two groups have been greatly hindered during this past year and we are excited to welcome back local small businesses and tourists to the bridge for Party on the Purple.” A portion of funds generated from food and drink sales during the weekly Party on the Purple events go toward painting and maintaining the historic pedestrian-only bridge. The Newport Southbank Bridge Company, a nonprofi t organization, is trying to raise $1 million to repaint the bridge and make other capital improvements. “Party on the Purple is gearing up for its wildly successful fourth year, and we couldn’t be more excited.” said Marc Wertheim, Event Producer and President/CEO of ColdIron Enterprises Inc. “We know people are ready to get out and enjoy the nice weather and we can’t think of a better way than to bring back Party on the Purple. The following is the theme and band schedule: May 12 – 80’s Night. The Whammies May 19 – Singles Night. DJ ETrayn May 26 – Dog Night. Doghouse June 2 – Military Appreciation Night.

Apple scab picking on Kentucky apple and crabapple trees Apple scab is the most consistently
serious disease of homegrown apple and fl owering crabapple in Kentucky. The most noticeable losses on apple result from reduced fruit quality and from premature drop of infected fruit. Scab also causes a general weakening of the host when leaves are shed prematurely. Summer defoliation of fl owering crabapple due to scab invariably results in fewer fl owers the next spring. Resistant cultivars and fungicides are available; however, sanitation is a critical step in prevention and management. Apple scab facts Leaf symptoms begin as olive-green to brown spots (lesions) with indefi nite, feathery margins on upper and/or lower surfaces. As disease progresses, lesions beScully come more distinct, develop a greenish-black, velvety growth, and then thicken, and bulge upward. Infected fruit develop symptoms similar to those on leaves. Older lesions turn dark brown to black, develop a corky (“scabby”) appearance, and frequently become cracked as fruit enlarge. If infections occur on young fruit, uneven growth near “scabs” may cause fruit to be deformed. Heavily infected leaves and fruit may drop prematurely. Hosts include apple, crabapple, hawthorn, and mountain ash. Primary infection occurs during periods of continuous leaf wetness from bud break until 2 to 4 weeks after petal fall. Subsequent infections result from a second spore type (conidia) that are produced in lesions throughout the remainder of the season. Caused by the fungus Venturia inaequalis. The apple scab fungus overwinters in fallen leaves. Management Options Select varieties that are tolerant or resistant to apple scab. Prune trees to improve air circulation. Maintain plant health with proper nutrition and irrigation practices. Destroy fallen leaves and fruit by burning or burying. Commercial orchards can mow or apply nitrogen to aid See COMMUNITY NEWS, Page 5B

in breakdown of leaf tissues. Apple scab risk throughout the season can be determined by disease development models. Visit the UK Ag Weather Center site for additional information. Homeowners may apply fungicides containing copper, mancozeb, sulfur, or captan. Preventative application should begin at green tip (typically late March) and continue until 2 to 4 weeks after petal fall. Fungicides can also be used to treat infections after they occur (Note that fungicides are less eff ective when used in this manner). For additional information please see Backyard Apple Disease & Pest Management Using Cultural Practices (with Low Spray, No Spray & Organic Options) (PPFS-FR-T-21).

crucial funds raised at the golf outing will be used to expand services in the rural counties WCC serves, especially emergency services in Grant, Gallatin, Carroll, Owen, and Pendleton counties. Over the past 43 years, WCC has provided a foundational community presence in Maysville, Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati. Through strong corporate partnerships and general support from individuals in the community, WCC has been able to off er free services such as emergency shelter, crisis intervention, counseling, legal/medical accompaniment, and much more. Christy Burch, WCC CEO says, “while WCC has always off ered services to the rural counties we serve, in recent years we have worked really hard to raise awareness and expand services within these counties. This past year has proven to be an incredibly trying year for all of us and we have found that our work has become even more vital to our community. We have had to fi nd new ways to fundraise, and we’re excited to host our fi rst ever golf outing.” For more information about the Drive for Change, or to register as a golfer or sponsor, visit: https://bidpal.net/driveforchange.

Arc – and have handled the Cleaning Crew since last December. “Both of us used to work at the Millennium Hotel in their laundry service,” said the 63-year-old Reese. “He (Randy) told me about The Point/Arc.” For Don, The Point/Arc is a long way from his native Akron, Ohio. “I came to Cincinnati in 1964 when my dad transferred from Texaco,” said the 1978 graduate of Finneytown High School. After Finneytown, Don attended Diamond Oaks Vocational School before meeting up with Lloyd at the now-defunct Millennium Hotel. As for the 64-year-old Randy, he’s been at The Point/Arc for nine years. “I started at the Apparel Shop when it was located on Scott Street in 2012, before it moved to its present-day location in Latonia,” said the Campbell County High School grad. “I printed T-shirts.” But it was laundry that got them together – and today they’ve joined forces on the fi ve-person cleaning crew. And besides having cleanliness as a common-denominator, both men live alone – and both were Special Education students in high school. “It was rough at times, in school,” they both agreed. “We were considered slow-learners.” Not now. At least not on the job. The crew does their thing four-timesa-week – Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. Their clients include the main offi ces at The Point/Arc, the Zembrodt Education Center, an offi ce-com-
plex on 8th and Scott in Covington and Expressions Dance Theatre in Crescent Springs, Ky. In fact, Cara Patrick, owner of The Dance Theatre said, “We just love the entire crew; they’re awesome. “They’re not only great cleaners, they’re great people and we’d recommend them to any business in the community.” Expressions Dance Theatre has space for 300 kids, weekly, according to Patrick and, “we need a clean environment for our facility. This crew takes a great deal of pride in their work – we notice it and appreciate it.” Randy, who resides in Bellevue, Ky. spent some time at Park Hills (Ky.) Vocational School where he learned how to strip and wax fl oors. And Randy is especially concerned with his health. “I have seizures from time-to-time,” he said. “They’re mostly under control now. My mom had scarlet fever when she had me.” They mop fl oors, clean the restrooms, the sinks, mirrors, mop and sweep fl oors and take care of the trash at these facilities. Cleanliness may be their top priority – but dedication is a close second. Both take buses to The Point/Arc. “I live in Oakley,” Don said, “and take two busses to arrive at The Point/Arc.” Randy’s trip might be a bit shorter from his Bellevue home. Nevertheless, both are never late. And both never miss a speck of dust. Andy Furman, The Point/Arc

16 novels set in Cincinnati for your reading list Jeff Suess Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
We know Cincinnati has been a popular place to make fi lms – but what about books? This may not be New York, but there are enough novels set in Cincinnati to grab our attention. Some authors are local, some not. Some wrote about historical events, or changed the city’s name – but we know it’s really the Queen City. There are mysteries and romance and urban fantasy. Award winners and popular page-turners. Here are a few Cincinnati novels you might want to add to your reading list. “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” by Harriet Beecher Stowe (1852) – The literary classic helped to change readers’ minds about slavery in the years leading to the Civil War. Stowe was infl uenced by her experiences and observations while living in Cincinnati when her father was president of Lane Theological Seminary in Walnut Hills. The story of the runaway slave girl, Eliza, crossing the frozen Ohio River with her son was inspired by a real woman who crossed in 1838 and found protection in the home of John Rankin in Ripley, Ohio, a safe house on the Underground Railroad. “Babbitt” by Sinclair Lewis (1922) – Lewis’ satirical jab at the middle class is set in the fi ctional Midwestern city Zenith. Many cities vied for the ignominious claim of being the inspiration for this city of hustlers, but Lewis kept a suite at the Queen City Club while he wrote the book, so we have a strong claim. Lewis thanked a friend for sending him to Cincinnati to write: “I am quite indebted to you for the material of the book. I am quite sure that none of our friends in Cincinnatti [sic] will ever know it.” “Back Street” by Fannie Hurst (1930) – “One evening in one of those Over-the-Rhine cafés which were plentiful along Vine Street of the Cincinnati of the nineties, a traveling salesman leaned across his stein of Moerlein’s Extra Light and openly accused Ray Schmidt of being innocent.” That’s the 1890s, and that was Wielert’s Cafe. This melodramatic tale of a socialite who goes from a desirable companion to being cast into the “back streets” was adapted to fi lm four times. “The Frontiersmen” by Allan W. Eckert (1967) – Eckert’s classic historic narrative of the conquest of the Northwest Territory in the early days of the settlements around Cincinnati uses imagined dialogue and internal thoughts of the characters, blurring fact and fi ction a bit, but it is well researched and paints an engaging, honest portrayal of the tough men, particularly Simon Kenton, and the native Shawnee. “Beloved” by Toni Morrison (1987) – The Nobel laureate was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for her novel about Sethe, a former slave in Cincinnati who relives the trauma and tragedy of her past. Morrison was inspired by the real-life story of Margaret Garner, a runaway slave who chose to kill her own children rather than let them return to slavery. “Cincinnati” by Lee Davis Willoughby (1990) – This historical novel in the tradition of John Jakes is part of the “Americana: The Making of the Cities” series. In the days of steamboats and racial strife just before the Civil War, a German immigrant family is torn apart by the issue of emancipation. “Queen City Jazz” by Kathleen Ann Goonan (1994) – In a dystopian future where nanotech plagues have decimated the population, Verity must bring her wounded friend to the legendary Enlivened City of Cin-

cinnati, a place of legend where giant engineered bees are messengers. Did we mention this is science fi ction? “The Cincinnati Red Stalkings” by Troy Soos (1998) – In this mystery, journeyman infi elder Mickey Rawlings joins the 1921 Reds team and gets embroiled in a murder. There’s lots of baseball and Cincinnati history, with a focus on the 1869 Red Stockings, plus Reds greats Edd Roush, Heinie Groh and owner Garry Herrmann at old Redland Field (a.k.a. Crosley Field). “The Jazz Bird” by Craig Holden (2002) – This historical novel tells the true-life story of Cincinnati bootlegger George Remus and the murder of his wife, Imogene, in Eden Park in 1927. Holden resurrects these larger-than-life characters along with the famous parties Remus threw at his Price Hill mansion. “Dead Witch Walking” by Kim Harrison (2004) – The fi rst in the Hollows urban fantasy series is set in an alternate reality Cincinnati where witches, vampires and werewolves openly coexist with humans. The series follows the exploits of Rachel Morgan, a bounty hunter witch, in the Northern Kentucky suburb known as the Hollows, where the creatures of the night dwell. “No Police Like Holmes” by Dan Andriacco (2011) – This is the fi rst book in the Sebastian McCabe and Jeff Cody mystery series set in Erin, Ohio, a fi ctional Cincinnati suburb on the banks of the Ohio River. The series has the conceit of connections to Sherlock Holmes stories, but the amateur detective duo – a brilliant literature professor and his brother-in-law – is more akin to Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin. “Queen City Corpse” (2017) is set at a mystery convention held in Union Terminal. “The History of Us” by Leah Stewart (2013) – A
number of Cincinnati authors have recently set their stories in the Queen City. Stewart teaches creative writing at the University of Cincinnati. After her sister and brother-in-law are killed, Eloise Hempel must return to her family home, an aging Clifton mansion, to raise their three children. “The Boy at the Museum” by Tamera Lenz Muente (2014) – Muente, an associate curator at the Taft Museum of Art, penned this novel about Enos, a boy without legs who is a live exhibit in Cincinnati’s museum of curiosities in 1843. The Western Museum was real, founded by Dr. Daniel Drake as a scientifi c museum with exhibits by John James Audubon that deteriorated into spectacle in later years. “Eligible” by Curtis Sittenfeld (2016) – A modernday retelling of Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” set in contemporary Cincinnati casts the Bennets in Hyde Park trying to marry off their daughters, Liz, a magazine writer, and Jane, a yoga instructor, to the surgeon Chip Bingley, who appeared on a reality show, and his friend, Darcy. Tons of Cincinnati references. “The Sweetest Fruits” by Monique Truong (2019) – Truong tells the stories of the women closest to writer (and former Enquirer reporter) Lafcadio Hearn, whois celebrated for introducing Japanese folklore to the West. The three sections follow his Greek mother; his fi rst wife, Alethea Foley, a former slave living in Cincinnati; and his second wife, Koizumi Setsu, in Japan. “Other Words for Home” by Jasmine Warga (2019) – Jude and her mother have escaped from war-torn Syria to live with relatives in Cincinnati, near the mosque in Clifton. This book for young readers, written in free verse, was the winner of a 2020 Newbery Honor.
