Matt Guy hits mark as world’s best cornhole player Paul Daugherty Columnist Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Matt Guy of Alexandria is an eight-time world cornhole champion. PROVIDED
Not long ago I heard tell of a man who could toss a cornhole bag from one side of his house to the other, over the garage roof, onto the cornhole board and into the hole. Legend had it he was an ordinary man, neither large nor small nor possessing superhuman powers. Just a guy – literally, his name is Matt Guy – working a normal job selling cleaning supplies for a local company. Three kids, two dogs, a wife. But also an eight-time world cornhole champion, a man who once threw 56 cornholes in a row, has a sponsor and is treated like a god (or like Elvis, which is about the same thing) whenever he walks into the cornhole tournament arena. “People from around the world want to pick my brain,’’ the man says. He’s Elvis entering the building. “When I walk in, you can see the heads turn. I carry extra bags, to sign.’’ Go ahead and laugh, but I’m betting you’ve never been Best In The World at anything. Matt Guy, 49, Northern Kentucky lifer, is the best cornhole player in the world. And so it came to be that on this most memorable and awesome of Thursday afternoons, I was in Matt Guy’s front yard in Alexandria, watching cornhole bags fl y over his garage roof. “Short,’’ his son Carson, 14, says. Carson is standing in the front yard by the board, phone video rolling, on the chance his dad drops a throw right into the hole. It’d be great video for Matt’s website. Matt is maybe 100 feet away, in the back yard, turn-throwing a personalized bag fi lled with plastic pellets over the roof of the garage. “Left,’’ Carson says.
All feats of greatness come from humble beginnings. Matt Guy started out in Cold Spring, pitching horseshoes with his dad at picnics on weekends. He wasn’t good at it, but he was attentive. He noticed the best pitchers turned their wrists 180 degrees just before they followed through, launching the twopound, 10-ounce shoe 40 feet. Within a year, Matt was a top-10 horseshoe pitcher in the world. (Yes, there is such a ranking.) Fast-forward to 2000. Matt is driving a bread truck on the west side of Cincinnati, when he spies a small sign promoting a cornhole tournament that weekend. Matt says, “Hmmm.” Throwing a one-pound square bag fi lled with plastic pellets requires the same wrist turn as horseshoes. “The bag comes out of your hand spinning and fl at, which is what you want,’’ Matt explains. “Top four fi ngers sit on it, underneath, not squeezing. Thumb on top. Don’t throw it. Let it slide out of your hand.’’ Matt picked it up cornhole easily and quickly got good at it. Or as he puts it, “I was instantly destroying everybody.’’ Cornhole might be the essential backyard, beer-drinkin, backslappin’ pastime. Even now, two decades later, Matt occasionally will enter events at church festivals and such. But by 2005, he was big time, helped along by another local guy, Frank Geers, president and CEO of the American Cornhole Organization. Guy met Geers at a cornhole event hosted by former Bengals QB Carson Palmer. Geers had big plans for cornhole. Matt was all in. For six consecutive years, 2006-2010, Matt Guy won the world cornhole singles title. “On the board!’’ Carson yells. Matt’s latest spinning toss over the garage roof has landed on the bottom of the board and bounced to within four inches of the hole. Matt explains that See CORNHOLE, Page 2A
Newport Aquarium to open at the end of June Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
The Newport Aquarium has announced its opening day after extended closures due to the coronavirus pandemic. The aquarium will reopen on June 22, starting with three appreciation days exclusively for annual passholders from June 22 to 24. On June 25, all guests are welcome. Expect to see some changes, such as
employees in face masks and limited daily capacity. Aquarium offi cials said areas where social distancing can’t be achieved will be temporarily closed. That includes interactives, play areas and some animal encounters like the play climber, the crawl through tunnel and popups.

the spinning caused by the wrist turn ensures the bag will fl y fl at, then slide straight when it hits the board, not left or right. This is essential to cornhole greatness. Matt’s rise mirrored his sport’s. He started by searching the web for tournaments. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. Kentucky, West Virginia. Now, he’s on the road 40-45 weekends a year and his trips are sponsored by Slick Woody’s, a maker of boards, bags and cornhole apparel. Matt even has his own line or cornhole-abilia on his website, Guy Nation. The world championship used to feature 64 players. Now, you have to qualify for it, by accumulating points in tournaments throughout the year. One of those, the ACO Major, is this weekend at the Western Hills Live sports mall. Players from all over the country, as well as Germany, Australia and Canada, are entered in the world championships. The equipment has evolved, too. No one serious about cornhole uses a bag fi lled with corn. “Mice love them,’’ Matt explains. “Corn breaks down, turns to powder and the bags are mush.’’ Some boards used to be made of paneling (too thin) which caused the bags to bounce. Some boards weren’t smooth. “You had to have a repertoire of throws back in the day, to adjust for the board,’’ Matt says. He has his own boards now, with the Slick Woody’s logo. Matt and his son Bret – 2013 world champion at age 19 – travel the circuit in Matt’s 2011 Chevy Cruze, up to 20,000 miles

a year. They’ve been world doubles champs twice. “I cannot tell you how many times I get up at 5 a.m. on a Saturday, drive six to 10 hours, play in a tournament and drive back home,” Matt told an interviewer not long ago. “When our kids were younger, we vacationed in Florida. I’d play in tournaments on the way to Florida and again in Florida. The money I won paid for our vacations.” Matches are one game, tournaments are usually double-elimination.

Cincinnati used to be the “mega-base’’ of cornhole, says Matt. In the past decade, its prominence has slipped dramatically. Matt’s has not. In July, he will play in this year’s world championships in Columbia, South Carolina, for a shot at $5,000. “To the right,’’ says Carson. Matt has tossed 24 bags. None has found the mark.

Transportation plan includes new Ohio River bridge – and streetcar expansion Hannah K. Sparling Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
The region’s 2050 plan for transportation includes a new Brent Spence Bridge, a new Western Hills Viaduct and – perhaps a surprise to some – a continuation of Cincinnati’s streetcar across the Ohio River into Newport. The plan – from the Ohio-KentuckyIndiana Regional Council of Governments – is a federally mandated blueprint of what transportation projects the region can expect over the next 30 years. The plan is required to look forward at least 20 years, but it gets updated at least every four. This is is not a defi ning list of what’s to come: Just because a project is on the list doesn’t mean it will ever get funding. But these aren’t pie-in-the-sky ideas, either. The list is based on the amount of money OKI thinks will be available and projects OKI thinks would add value to the region’s transportation system. Plus, if a project is not on the list – see: the Eastern Bypass – that means it is not eligible for federal funding (though, the list is always subject to revision). “It’s not guaranteed. Actually, nothing is guaranteed,” said OKI Deputy Executive Director Robert Koehler. “Even the Brent Spence Bridge, everyone agrees, that’s a great project, and we gotta do it. But how are we going to pay for it? We keep including the Brent Spence in our plan because it’s got to get done.” Overall, the 2050 plan contains 205 projects expected to cost $8.5 billion. That will end up being a mix of federal, state and local funding. A few highlights:
The Brent Spence Bridge is at the top of the list. Replacing the Brent Spence Bridge is the most expensive item in both Ohio and Kentucky, projected to cost about $1.2 billion in Ohio and $1.3 billion in Kentucky. Just below that is a new Western Hills Viaduct, projected to cost $332.8 million.
Replacing the Brent Spence Bridge is the most expensive item in Ohio and Kentucky, projected to cost about $2.5 billion. SAM GREENE/THE ENQUIRER
“They’re absolutely necessary,” said OKI CEO Mark Policinski. “They’ve got to be done.”
Public transportation has major projects in the works. Hamilton County voters just passed a $130 million a year sales tax for Cincinnati Metro, and that commitment to public transit is refl ected in the plan. There are projects to add bus-only lanes on Montgomery Road, Hamilton Avenue, Glenway Avenue, and Reading Road. Combined, those four projects are expected to cost $590 million, a mixture of local and state/federal funding. Bus Rapid Transit, where at least a portion of a route is in a bus-only lane, was one of the major selling points of Cincinnati Metro’s levy. The OKI plan also calls for more alternative-fuel buses; new transit centers to serve crosstown routes, east to west across the city; and new benches and shelters throughout Metro’s territory. In Northern Kentucky, the plan calls for a new $4.5 million transit station at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport to serve future route expansions.
Cyclists and walkers get some love. The vast majority of the funding is dedicated to highways, but there is
some money dedicated to bike and pedestrian projects. That includes new or expanded trails, particularly along the Ohio River and the Great Miami River. In Kentucky, there’s a project to complete the CVG Loop Trail along the northern border of the airport as well as several projects to continue the Licking River Greenway, a plan to build a 14-mile trail that will connect Covington, Taylor Mill, Wilder and Newport.
Will the streetcar go to Newport? The Cincinnati Bell Connector isn’t carrying passengers right now – running empty to help stop the spread of COVID-19 – but the OKI plan calls for a $79.7 million expansion of the streetcar across the Ohio River into Newport. Koehler, OKI’s deputy executive director, said that project is “very conceptual at this point,” but an expanded streetcar could be another option for Northern Kentucky commuters and, if it got enough riders, it could help relieve congestion. “It doesn’t mean that OKI has pledged any funding to it,” Koehler said. “It just means it’s something (a group in Newport is) interested in pursuing and it has transportation and public benefi ts.” The streetcar expansion project was submitted by Newport Commissioner Beth Fennell, who said her main goal was just to get the project into the OKI plan so it’s eligible for federal money. The expansion was also in OKI’s last plan, Fennell said. “Right now, this is the placeholder,” she said, but the ultimate goal is to get the streetcar to at least connect to Newport’s Ovation site, which will soon be home to a new concert venue.
The Eastern Bypass didn’t make the list Notably missing from the 2050 plan? The Eastern Bypass, a proposed outer loop around the current outer loop that would go roughly 70 miles, from Springboro to Crittenden in Grant County. The main reason the Eastern Bypass
is not on the list is money, Koehler said. One study projected the bypass would cost about $5.3 billion, more than half of the $8.5 billion pot of total money available. The bypass has also failed to gather broad community support, with Warren County Commissioner Dave Young calling it a “red herring” and Derek Bauman, a board member for the transit advocacy group All Aboard Ohio, calling it a “giveaway to sprawl developers.” “It’s just bad on its face, and it doesn’t even deserve study,” Bauman told The Enquirer in 2019.
‘This is going to change your life.’ Aside from the point-by-point list of specifi c transportation projects, the 2050 plan provides a glimpse at what Greater Cincinnati might expect for the future of transportation. The gist: more electric and autonomous vehicles, fewer crashes and cleaner air. Some of the changes will be slow, according to the plan’s predictions, but by 2050, most vehicles on the road will be electric or some technology other than the internal combustion engine widely used today. Up to 70% of vehicles will be fully autonomous, and as such, crash rates will be down about 75% compared to 2020. Ridesharing will become even more common, and private car ownership will become obsolete. Transportation and technology move quickly and change constantly, Policinski said, so in all likelihood, that vision for 2050 will be completely diff erent by the time we actually get there. But, he said, “we need to put out there an idea of what the future could look like. I think that’s critical. This is not just how to shorten your commute. This is going to change your life. This is going to change society.” About OKI OKI is the Metropolitan Planning Agency for Hamilton, Butler, Warren and Clermont counties in Ohio; Boone, Kenton and Campbell counties in Kentucky; and Dearborn County in Indiana.

United Way seeks to give 1,000 NKY households internet for students Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
United Way of Greater Cincinnati and Cincinnati Bell will partner to give internet access to 1,000 homes where Northern Kentucky students in grades K-12 live for the upcoming school year. Approximately 6,000, or 10 percent of the 60,000 K-12 students in Northern Kentucky lack reliable internet service, according to a United Way release. A similar project is taking place with Cincinnati Public Schools, funded by Greater Cincinnati Foundation. The new program will start with 880 qualifying households in districts demonstrating the greatest need, according to the release. Those school districts are Boone County Schools, Kenton County Schools, Campbell County Schools, Covington Independent Public Schools,
Erlanger-Elsmere Independent Schools, Newport Independent Schools, Dayton Independent Schools, Ludlow Independent Schools, and Bellevue Independent Schools. The pilot programs to provide lowcost internet service, which start in June, will help partners identify ways to expand the Digital Equity Initiative to more public school students, according to the release. The shutting down of in-person learning by schools in March because of coronavirus made the digital divide that exists between some students clear, according to the release. Many students could not participate in online remote learning, according to the release. “COVID-19 exposed the importance of access to technology, especially when it comes to virtual learning,” said Moira Weir, President and CEO of the
United Way of Greater Cincinnati. “The NKY Digital Equity Initiative for Students program will ensure no student is left behind." United Way is seeking to raise money to provide internet access to more than 1,000 households, according to the release. Text “NKYWIFI” to 71777 to donate. A $78 donation will connect a household for six months of service at $12.99 a month, according to the release. Horizon Community Funds is helping to support the fi rst 1,000 household donations, according to the release. "United Way is the perfect partner for this work, given their strong daily engagement with our community's school districts," said Horizon's president Nancy Grayson. Dayton Independent Schools Superintendent Jay Brewer said the computer and internet are the pencil and paper of
the 21st Century. “This is a great example of the collaborative spirit and power in Northern Kentucky to come together to level the playing fi eld for students,” Brewer said. This eliminates another barrier to learning thanks to the United Way, Horizon Community Funds, and Cincinnati Bell, said Michael Borchers, superintendent of Ludlow Independent Schools. “Ludlow Independent Schools is proud to partner in a project that will help close to the digital divide in our community,” Borchers said. “We are a one-to-one district for technology and this allows our students the opportunity to connect to the educational resources available to them both at school and in their house. As we prepare for a new school year with many uncertainties, we know for sure that our families will be able to digitally connect with us.”

SPORTS Campbell senior refl ects on championship career James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Anderson McDowell was ready to have a memorable senior season of tennis for Campbell County High School. Like other spring sports athletes and graduating seniors, his way of life and list of goals changed after the season was canceled by the coronavirus pandemic. McDowell has been able to put things in perspective. “It was out of everybody’s control,” he said. “It would be diff erent if it was an injury that knocked me on the sidelines. But everybody was on the bench and it was a missed opportunity for everybody.” Assuming he had stayed injury-free, McDowell was going to put an extra stamp on one of the most decorated careers in recent Northern Kentucky tennis history. He had won the 10th Region boys singles championship for the past three years, and would have been a heavy favorite for a fourth. He advanced to the state quarterfi nals last year and had a chance for a deeper run this month. Last year, he lost only two matches, one at the state meet. Sowards had a daunting schedule set up for the Camels this spring, including many of Northern Kentucky’s top teams and one of the two players McDowell lost to in 2019. “He had the potential to contend for either the three seed or the four seed, and worst case one of the fi ve seeds,” said Campbell County head coach Jeremiah Sowards. The Camels won the team regional title each of the past three seasons as well, and McDowell contributed in ways other than just dominating the top singles slot. “One of the things I’m going to miss with him is he loved being a part of the team,” Sowards said. “Tennis is such an odd sport in that it can be individual if you let it, but he really loved cheering his teammates on. I’m going to miss him in practice because if he noticed something one of the players needed, he would grab four or fi ve guys and just say ‘Let’s work together.’ He wanted to be on a successful team and he really did a great job of bringing the guys along and making them better.” McDowell listed as one of his favorite memories watching a teammate win a key match against Harrison County, and the team championships. Campbell County qualifi ed eight players for the state tourney last year, counting the girls team. “Yeah, it was really fun to watch,” he said. “A lot of the guys hadn’t been playing for that long, so to see that success was really fun. I hope the returning players keep that going and keep the reputation of our team up.’ McDowell has grown as the years

have gone on. “I’m an aggressive baseliner,” he said. “I like setting things up in a way I can fi nish the point instead of waiting for them to miss.” Said Sowards: “Physically, He’s a big server. He’s very smart about how he attacks and he does a really good job of closing in and fi nishing at the net. He’s fi lled out quite a bit. Physically, he’s in fantastic shape.” McDowell has signed to play tennis for Northern Kentucky University, where he will major in music engineering. He said he will be roommates with teammates from France and Canada, which he is looking forward to. He loves the individual aspect of tennis as well. “You rely on yourself, so when you lose, it’s your fault,” he said. “There’s always something you need to work on. You’re never See TENNIS, Page 2B

Doc Morris scholarships honor deceased umpire James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Doc Morris has been gone from the Northern Kentucky baseball community for 30 years now. His legacy and memory live on long after the beloved local umpire died at age 50 in 1990. Morris’ name has been a fi xture in the area since then, with an annual high school tournament in his name, and a scholarship fund. The coronavirus pandemic wiped away this year’s tournament along with the rest of the KHSAA baseball season, but not the scholarship money. The Northern Kentucky baseball coaches association awarded three $1,000 scholarships June 11 during a private dinner with the recipients and their families. Normally, the awards are given out at the annual East/West all-star games, which were scheduled for last week before the pandemic also wiped

one in Northern Kentucky. He did more for youth sports than I can remember. It’s a great thing to honor him and to keep this thing going. We’ve gone from
one $500 scholarship to three $1,000 ones.” While Morris was working high school games, he would always take time to instruct players when they were breaking rules, such as balks in their pitching motion. Morris, who worked for the state highway department, would help maintain the fi elds in the community. “The thing I remember about Doc is he had a heart of gold,” said Michael Foulks, a principal and educator for nearly 40 years who now works at Newport High School. “He worked for the state highway department and there wasn’t a football fi eld in Northern Kentucky that Doc didn’t throw fertilizer and grass seed on. Every spring he stopped at just about every fi eld and threw out seed for them.” The scholarships go annually to three local high school graduates who are currently in college.

going to be perfect and there’s always something you need help on.” OTHER STATE SERVERS: McDowell was named to the all-state team this month by the state coaches association, who honored graduating seniors. Also included were Covington Catholic teammates Evan Gardner and David Schlachter on the boys side On the girls side were Notre Dame Academy teammates Lauren Fley and Isabelle Bailey,
and Cassie Saner of Simon Kenton. All six honorees were returning state qualifi ers. Among other state qualifi ers from 2019, Campbell County sophomore Nick Wittrock, who won the 10th Region doubles championship last year with 2019 graduate Noah Bertsch was set to return. Covington Latin sibllings Kazu and Sara Watanabe were set to return. Both were regional singles runner-ups last year in the Ninth Region. Other returning state qualifi ers in boys tennis were Peter Laskey (Highlands), Yamaan Ahmad (Villa Madon-
na), Jon-Michael Schulte (Villa Madonna). In girls tennis: Raman Dail (WaltonVerona), Ellie Zureick (Cooper), Katherine Taylor (Beechwood), Ally Elleman (Conner), Martine Hue (NDA), Samantha Bailey (NDA), Emily Ernst (NDA), Baleigh Tackett (Pendleton County), Sadie Wright (Pendleton County), Natalie Smith (Campbell County), Annika White (Campbell County), Izzy McDowell (Campbell County) and Sydney Melton (Campbell County), Zureick is the reigning Ninth Region singles champion and Smith won the 10th.
This year’s winners are Newport graduate Michael Lewis, Silver Grove graduate Elian Turcios and Ludlow graduate Thomas “T.C.” Eads. Lewis, a fi ve-year standout on the diamond for Newport, graduated in 2014, then graduated from Pikeville University. He is now at the University of Pittsburgh majoring in social work, and wants to come back to the Newport area and make a diff erence. Turcios graduated in 2018 from Silver Grove, where he played six years of baseball and is now majoring in construction management at Northern Kentucky University. Turcios, whose family moved here from Honduras, is always willing to help others, said his coaches. “Their mom, their dad, all the kids were always there and I looked around and not a lot of the other parents were there,” said former Newport coach Grady Brown. “Elian is smart, but he didn’t want everybody to know that. I knew Elian was going to make something of himself.” Eads, a baseball standout at Ludlow, played for Berea College and has transferred to NKU for academics. He received fi ve nominations after his father died in May. “He has had a tough life and upbringing,” said one of the nominees on a nomination form. "I have never had a player work harder with his academics or athletics. There were times when we had no idea if he had even eaten on some days.” “The scholarship money helps a lot with everything going on,” Eads said. “I’m ecstatic. It’s a privilege and an honor to be voted for this.” The Doc Morris Scholarship Tournament has been a fi xture in Northern Kentucky since soon after his passing. For many years, it was a 16-team single-elimination tournament before recently changing to an invitational with every team guaranteed three games. Maxwell said the showcase would expand next year to include brackets for small schools, hoping to include at least 12 teams from Northern Kentucky and elsewhere.

BY ANDY KRAVIS / EDITED BY WILL SHORTZ 20
Andy Kravis, of Brooklyn, joined The Times as an associate puzzle editor in April. A 2013 graduate of Columbia Law School, he previously worked as a Transgender Rights Project Legal Fellow for the L.G.B.T. rights organization Lambda Legal before turning to puzzles full time. In addition to the theme, Andy tried to include as many fresh answers in the grid as possible — including 1A, 104A, 4D and 82D, none of which have appeared in a Times crossword before. — W.S.

COMMUNITY NEWS $50K personal protective equipment grant lands at Life Learning Center Horizon Community Funds will immediately deploy $50,000 to purchase masks, face shields, gloves, gowns, and hand sanitizers that will be distributed to a large group of nonprofi t organizations serving Northern Kentucky. Life Learning Center will spearhead the purchase and distribution process of the personal protective equipment (PPE). “Our nonprofi ts continue to stretch their resources, which are already tight, to meet new challenges presented by the Coronavirus’ spread,” said Horizon Community Funds President Nancy Grayson. “We hope to alleviate some of that strain through providing PPE equipment, and we thank Life Learning Center for taking the lead on getting this equipment in the hands of our nonprofi t partners. If you have donated to our Coronavirus Relief Fund, please know that this is your gift at work in Northern Kentucky.” The money comes directly from the Horizon NKY Coronavirus Relief Fund, which continues to raise money for and support nonprofi t needs that have arisen or grown since the spread of COVID-19. “Life Learning Center is honored to support our nonprofi t partners to help them re-open and serve our at risk populations,” said Life Learning Center President Alecia Webb-Edgington. “We’re grateful for the responsiveness and support that comes from Horizon Community Funds. They have a strong dedication to deploying dollars where it makes the most sense, and has the most impact.” No equipment remains for nonprofi ts that have not already reached out to Horizon Community Funds, but leadership at the organization anticipates future opportunities through direct funding or leveraging partnerships across the region. Nonprofi ts may reach out to Tess Brown at tbrown@horizonfunds.org or 859-620-8221 to be added to the list for future consideration of PPE distribution. Just over $550,000 has been distributed through the Horizon NKY Coronavirus Relief Fund. The advisory committee continues to review requests for funding. Individuals and businesses are en-

Trimming expenses when income is tight Every household has expenses. What expenses you have and how much you spend on them will vary based on your family’s needs and wants. Some expenses are fi xed, or a set amount that doesn’t change from Rex month to month, such as a loan payment or television service subscription. Other expenses are fl exible or might change based on how much you use it or
what season it is, such as water, electric, or food. When income is tight, it can help to reduce expenses. You can look at both fi xed and fl exible expenses to determine where to trim. It can help to prioritize before starting. Ask yourself which expenses are for things that are most important to your family’s health and happiness. Make a list, and those things that don’t make the top of the list are possible options to cut back or eliminate. There are some expenses you likely must keep, such as housing costs, heat, water, and food. But within these expenses there may be ways to save money. You might consider turning down the thermostat or conserving water. You could cut back on restaurants or use meal planning to make economical food choices. One area where costs can vary widely is communications. Your cellular phone package can cost more if you have multiple lines or unlimited services such as data or text. Take out your phone bill and look closely at the services they are charging you for to determine whether you need all of them. You don’t need unlimited text if you only send a few texts per month. Perhaps you can temporarily eliminate one phone line. If you have strong internet at home, you could use wi-fi and reduce data charges. Be aware
when changing your phone bill that sometimes there could be a contract in eff ect. However, it never hurts to ask if your service can be modifi ed. Your carrier may be willing to work with you to make the cost more manageable. Another area where costs vary is entertainment. You might subscribe to cable, satellite, or streaming services – or a combination of these. It may help to keep track of how much each service is being used in your household. Also, look at what channels or brands are included with each as there may be some overlap. A diff erent combination may provide the channels you like at a lower price. Or you may be able to suspend or cancel some services temporarily. You might be able to get local channels free with a digital antenna if you live near a metropolitan area. There are many ways to confi gure your needs for communication and entertainment. Sometimes bundling services such as Internet and cable TV can cost less than subscribing for things individually. Or if you have unlimited data on your smartphone, you might be able to skip a separate charge for internet service in your home – or vice versa using wi-fi instead of data. Watch out for shopping costs. If online shopping is a temptation you don’t need, try to stay offl ine. When you do shop, stick to your list. Don’t shop on impulse or buy things just because they’re on sale. Use coupons and shop sales for items you do need to buy, and make sure to comparison shop for the best deal on big-ticket items. Pay bills on time to avoid fees and fi nance charges. In diffi cult times, it’s tempting to use credit cards more or take out a loan. However, that will cost you more in the long run. Try to limit credit use as it is not a solution to the problem, but simply delays the date that you pay for the items, and then adds interest. If you have a loan, you may be able to take advantage of deferred payments – basically taking a break from paying. This can help, but understand that interest may still be building, so it could cost you more later. Ronda Rex is a Campbell County Family and Consumer Sciences Agent.

SCHOOL NEWS Senior distance and cross country runner Natalie Lienhart reflects upon the adversity she’s faced HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – McAuley graduate Natalie Lienhart is looking forward to her new normal after graduating college with a degree in Computer Information Technology. Throughout her time as a cross country and track & fi eld athlete at Northern Kentucky University, she has made several transitions in both her athletic and academic life. The Cincinnati native discusses how she overcame multiple injuries, switched majors and the program’s evolution since she started competing four years ago as a Norse. Q: What drew you to NKU, other than it being close to home? A: When I started looking at schools, I wanted two things: to be able to run and it also have my program. Originally, I went in with computer forensics in mind, but that is now my minor. It also helped that I really liked the team, the coaches and the atmosphere. Q: How did you get into Track/Cross Country? A: In sixth grade, my twin brother decided to try track. I had to go to all of his practices and meets anyway, so I decided to join in. I went to the distance side of track right away, which is funny because I skipped right over sprints. In 7th grade, we then both decided to run cross country. Q: What did your recruiting process look like? A: My high school coach actually ran against Steve Kruse in college, so he helped me reach out to him. My mom and I talked back and forth between him and Paul Longano. Q: Talk about the team atmosphere. A: It’s defi nitely changed over the years; since my freshman year it has grown from a younger team to an older team. This year has become a whole new team. And I think we’ve bonded a lot more, especially between the cross country and track & fi eld athletes. Q: How do you mentally prepare for a meet, since it’s an individual competition with a team outcome? A: We have a routine we go through every time we have a meet. Depending on the course, we talk through it and individually tell the team our goals. For cross country, it was a big deal for us to have the cross country meet at NKU this
Cross country and track athlete Natalie Lienhart just graduated from NKU. PROVIDED
year because we were able to actually walk through the course. For track & fi eld this past indoor season, I was just supposed to hold on to the top pack for dear life and I was able to do that. Because of that I was actually able to set a PR (personal record). Q: What is your favorite part about competing? A: I like the team aspect of it and getting to watch other people compete. I think being able to support my teammates is one of the best parts of this sport. We had a lot of people do really well this year and it was super exciting to see. If one person breaks a school record everyone else gets super motivated by it, especially last year in outdoor conference. I wasn’t able to compete but I was able to cheer on. Q: What would you like tell freshmen who will be competing at NKU? A: Value your time as an athlete and student and trust the process. You may have an off -race, meet or even season, but don’t let that discourage you. Things do come with time, you just have to wait. We have amazing coaches at NKU that have gotten me where I am, so you have to trust them and that they know what they’re doing. Q: What challenges have you faced
as an athlete and how have you overcome them? A: I’ve had a few diff erent injuries and I just needed to look at the bigger picture. The last one I had was a concussion for two and a half months one season. I started competing again and then they realized I hadn’t fully recovered. The hardest part for people is trying not to rush to fast into things; a little pain could lead to bigger pain. Q: What is your major and what do you plan on doing after graduation? A: My major is computer information technology. After graduation I’m trying to fi gure out a few diff erent options because I’d like to teach people about technology and tell people how they can improve at it. I also might be starting a master’s program soon, just to get a little more education on this specifi c fi eld. Before the University shut down due to the virus, I was working at the tech bar at NKU. It’s defi nitely been a slow process trying to fi nd a full-time job, but I’m just trying to be patient with companies. I mentioned my brother before; he goes to University of Cincinnati and just graduated with an Athletic Training major. We haven’t offi cially done anything to celebrate yet. There are six people in my fam-
ily graduating this year, so eventually we’ll celebrate at a later time. Q: How are you involved at NKU? A: I’m a SAAC representative for our team and was one of the track & fi eld captains. It gives you a whole diff erent perspective; mostly it has given me a lot of leadership experience. Basically, I’m just making sure everyone is doing well; talking with the my teammates who are injured and making sure they’re not rushing back into [competing]. Q: What do you do when you’re not competing, practicing or studying? A: I really like to do 3D puzzles, rubiks cubes and spend a lot of time with my family. I just stayed home for spring break and so once this all started, I was able to quickly get moved back home after living on campus. Q: Who have been some of your biggest infl uences? A: My parents and, of course, my brother. They helped me stay motivated and be where I want to be. I also had really great coaches. We brought PJ Ball on and she’s made a huge impact on our team. She really tries to connect with all of us and personalize us as individuals. Teresa Turner, Director of Digital Media, Northern Kentucky University

Cincinnati.com Sports Awards adds Belichick, Curry to show for athletes Melanie Laughman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Six-time Super Bowl champion and New England Patriots head coach, Bill Belichick, and three-time NBA champion and point guard for the Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry, join the roster of guests featured during the Cincinnati.com Sports Awards show Thursday, June 18. Belichick will present the coach of the year and team of the year awards for the 2019-2020 high school sports season. Curry will announce the top players in girls and boys basketball. Belichick is considered by many as the greatest professional football coach of all time. He has 11 more playoff wins than any other NFL coach and is third, behind only George Halas and Don Shula, in regular-season wins. He’s led the New England Patriots for 20 years and in that time has won six of the team’s nine Super Bowl appearances. Curry, 32, is known as one of the best shooters in NBA history and has been credited with revolutionizing the game as teams and athletes have adopted and adapted to his success behind the threepoint line. Curry grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina, and played college basketball for Davidson, where he was a star and broke records starting in his freshman year. Belichick and Curry round out an award-winning list of celebrity guests who have been leaders in their sport, including Super Bowl Champion and MVP Patrick Mahomes, quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, who was announced earlier this month. Other professional athletes who will be featured during the awards show include Venus Williams, Michael Phelps, Wayne Gretzky, Gabby Douglas, Bode Miller, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Gary Woodland, Misty May-Treanor, Jordan Burroughs, Norm Duke, Rose Lavelle, Jessica Mendoza and Keli Smith Puzo. Sports broadcasters Jesse Palmer, Sage Steele, Dr. Jerry Punch and Courtney Cronin will host the awards show. The show will premiere at 6 p.m. local

time on June 18 and is free to watch using any desktop or smart device on the event website, sportsawards. cincinnati.com. Not all state-sanctioned sports will be included in the Player of the Year awards due to spring sports cancellations required by the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, there will be a segment of recognition for seniors who missed their fi nal sports seasons as part of a national tribute video that will be included in the broadcast. The public can also show support for seniors who missed their fi nal games and celebrations by joining in the national movement with support messages on Instagram and Twitter using the hashtag #DontStopNow. One person nationally using the hashtag #DontStopNow will win $1,000 for themselves and $1,000 for the charity of their choice. See details on the event website on the night of the show for additional information. The Cincinnati Enquirer will also participate in a national eff ort to raise funds locally for those impacted most by the COVID-19 pandemic. Donate on sportsawards.cincinnati.com to the “Team Cincinnati COVID Relief.” This national eff ort will support the United Way, The American Red Cross and Feeding America. The community that raises the most funds by June 20 will receive a matching donation from the USA TODAY Network, up to $10,000, for those local charities. Gannett owns and operates the larg-
