This fancy new hotel in Covington used to be a pickle factory

Decorative items adorn the window inside the Soda Pop room at the Pickle Factory Boutique Hotel. When the building was built in 1873, it housed a soda pop factory, Covington Bottling Works.

COVINGTON, Ky. – A once-crumbling, 148-year-old former pickle factory in Covington’s central business district has been given a new life.

An estimated 300 folks recently gathered at the building at the intersection of Tobacco and Electric alleys for the launch party of the Pickle Factory Hotel. Even though this business is new, it keeps the structure’s vibrant history alive.

Each of its eight suites is themed to refl ect phases of the space’s history.

Two suites pay homage to the building’s fi rst owner, Henry Wenzel, with the fl air of a 19th-century aristocrat. When the building was built in 1873, it housed his soda pop factory, Covington Bottling Works, which is refl ected in the bubbly theme of another suite.

In 1886, the space was repurposed.

Kenton County Historical Society records show it was divided to house a chapter of the African American Odd Fellows on the third fl oor and a pickle factory on the fi rst and second. Of course, guests can lodge in rooms dedicated to these histories, too.

Ownership changed hands every few years. The previous owners got the place in 1995 and used it for storage.

Then, real estate developer Tony Milburn came along.

For years, he gazed at the building from his offi ce. He adored it.

“It’s got all of these wonderful scars,” Milburn said. “It’s had a rough life, but that’s kind of what makes it.”

Even though it wasn’t for sale, the building became Milburn’s in February 2019 with a $1.9 million off er to its previous owners. He had a vision. He wanted this to be a beacon of tourism as a hotel.

Milburn enlisted Neat Suites owners Edward Feldmann and Jeremiah Hines to manage the hotel. Their business is all about maintaining short-term rentals. Pandemic and all, they worked to make it happen.

They brought in contractors to rehab the building into working order. There was water damage. Lots of it. That was the fi rst thing to fi x. Then they fi xed the fl oors, walls, elevator, steelwork and just about everything else.

While the contractors took care of the functionality of the building, interior See HOTEL, Page 4A

Northern Kentucky agency victim of a ransomware attack Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Click.

Nothing.

Click-clack.

Still, nothing.

In February, workers at a Northern Kentucky planning and zoning agency couldn’t open their computer fi les.

It turned out that hackers had encrypted fi les – and were demanding $400,000 in bitcoin, a cryptocurrency, to release the fi les. The agency had been hit by a ransomware attack, a harmful code or fi le designed to hold fi les hostage until a fee is paid.

Executive Director Sharmili Reddy of the Planning and Development Services of Kenton County confi rmed details about the attack in an emailed statement to The Enquirer. The offi ce plans for the future of Kenton County, home to about 167,000 people, by allowing zoning changes for development projects and following up on code enforcement complaints, for example.

It's unclear how many fi les were encrypted; Reddy wouldn't elaborate when The Enquirer asked.

As recently as May, the agency’s services were impaired because of the lost data, according to public email records obtained by The Enquirer through a Kentucky Open Records Act request.

For example, staff couldn’t pull a company’s electrical permit to see how much it owed for a fi re alarm.

And, the county lost photos from a December 2020 code enforcement visit to see how much a Covington property had been cleaned between December and May. Reddy said the agency didn't pay the ransom. Did it get their data back? Reddy said it recovered "much of" the data, though she wouldn't elaborate. The saved data was on its cloud services and hard copy fi les they're legally required to keep as a public entity.

The agency also set up off site backup systems to shield its fi les from another attack, Reddy said.

These attacks are increasing, said Federal Bureau of Investigations agent Stephen Oakes, who is the supervisory agent of the cyber squad for the Louisville offi ce.

“It’s terrible that it’s such a bad problem,” Oakes said. He added that the “bad guys” have evolved in the past 10 years to attack entities for millions of dollars instead of individuals for hundreds.

It's hard to track who the hackers are, because cryptocurrency is often the ransom, and it's hard to track.

And, Oakes said the hackers could set up servers that say they're in one country, but they're really in another.

In 2019, 113 federal, state, and municipal governments and agencies were attacked by ransomware schemes, according to a report from Emisoft, a security fi rm that helps companies hit by ransomware.

Among the other victims were 560 healthcare facilities and 1,681 schools, colleges, and universities.

This is the same kind of attack that Colonial Pipeline faced, a gasoline delivery company. According to

Reddy

USA TODAY, other recent targets include a Massachusetts ferry operator, the Irish health system, and the Washington, D.C. police department.

This time, the attack happened here, in Northern Kentucky.

Kenton County fi les encrypted

Public records show on March 1, the planning staff sent an urgent message to its now-former IT services company, Florida-based CentralSquare.

PDS staff wrote a help ticket to alert the company it had a ransomware infection.

"Do you have a copy of schema, data or other information?” the help ticket said in public email records.

Hackers placed software in the Planning and Development Services of Kenton County (PDS) that made it impossible for staff to open fi les, such as its building permit database, records show. They demanded bitcoin to unlock the data.

It's unlikely that the agency was targeted specifi cally as the victim of this attack.

Hackers don’t go after a specifi c target, such as a hospital, law enforcement or local government. Instead, Hackers look for vulnerabilities in systems, Oakes told The Enquirer.

“They are going to try to hit every system they can with that vulnerability,” Oakes said.

According to email records, the planning staff wrote in a help ticket that its Information Technology Administrator, Rick Masters, couldn’t access a website where backup fi les “used to be available.” A representative from CentralSquare told them that site had been “shut down for some time now,” and moved to a new one.

“If you were hosted on our cloud servers, we defi nitely would be able to roll you back, but we don't maintain backup data for clients not on the cloud,” the representative wrote.

An email from March 3 showed Masters, the systems administrator, didn’t work for the agency anymore.The Enquirer was unable to reach him before publication.

When asked if anyone was punished for the attack, Reddy said she would not discuss personnel matters.

Records show PDS fi red the Florida-based company and turned to the Covington-based technology company CForward for help.

This wasn’t the fi rst time the planning agency was attacked. In 2012, it was the victim of a ransomware attack.

Reddy said she didn’t know about what happened then, because she became executive director last summer after working as city administrator for Fort Mitchell.

Reddy said the cyberforensics experts the agency brought in were unable to pinpoint the exact cause but added the hackers used “known tools” to spread malware to encrypt the data.

“Based upon our investigation, we believe the hack-

ers took a small number of non-confi dential business records,” Reddy wrote in the email.

In less than a week, Reddy said the agency was able to restore operations with “minimal impact” to its Kenton County constituents.

It’s unclear if any data was completely lost because Reddy did not answer that question.

Rebuilding data, security The agency reported the incident to the FBI and started to recreate fi les, such as its fi le inventory database and its fi le destruction/transfer list, records show.

In an email titled “cyber incident postmortem,” PDS Planning Manager Andy Videkovich wrote the agency needs to “make sure that our back-ups are actually happening,” among other suggestions to avoid and handle future attacks.

Videkovich wrote that the agency could handle future attacks better if it had an action list in place to guide them through an attack, a list of licenses and who has them, and save archive emails because saved emails were "critical" to them restoring data.

It also turned to CForward to learn how to avoid future attacks.

"PDS had invested in IT, which was why everyone, including our team, were surprised this attack occurred," CForward President Brian Ruschman wrote in an emailed statement. "But criminals sometimes fi nd a way."

CForward set up off site backups, installed antimalware software, trained staff to not open emails that could have malware, and switched "some" of the agency's data to cloud storage, among other security measures.

Even with improved security, Ruschman said no one is ever completely safe from a ransomware attack.

"We hate that the fi rst thing people often do after a cyberattack is blame the victim," he wrote. " Anyone who tells you they 'guarantee you won’t be hacked' is lying to you."

A recent email shows the agency's staff is practicing what they learned to avoid another hack.

"Just an FYI to be careful," an employee wrote in a staff wide email on June 15. "I just received an email from “Dennis Gordon” that wasn’t from him. I didn’t open it, but if you’re not paying attention it would be easy to do."

Tornado confi rmed in Boone County Brook Endale Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The National Weather Service has confi rmed a tornado touched down in Boone County on June 18.

Following the storm, the NWS worked with The Boone County Emergency Management Agency and completed a survey along I-275 in Boone County.

The survey focused on barn and tree damage on both sides of the interstate.

Minor roof damage to a home and tree damage on Stevens Road northwest of Idlewild were discovered. According to the NWS, trees in that area were uprooted, and a barn nearby was damaged. Roofi ng material blown off the barn was found along I-275, almost half a mile from the original location.

The NWS said the tornado moved east along I-275, causing more tree damage and another barn had its roof partially removed on the south side of I-275. Offi cials believe the tornado lifted in the vicinity of I-275 about a mile west of Exit 8.

The NSW estimate wind speeds were between 60 and 75 mph but reached 90 mph at the heavily damaged barn on the south side of I-275.

She convinced her parents to let her move away to perform at Dollywood in Tennessee at 16, she told WCPO Cincinnati after her rise to the top of the charts.

Pearce After three years, she moved to Nashville, and has since performed at the Grand Ole Opry venue over 85 times.

Pearce’s three studio albums, “Every Little Thing,” “Carly Pearce” and “29,” combine elements of contemporary and bluegrass country, with a focus on storytelling.

She will be offi cially inducted as a member on Tuesday, Aug. 3.

Pearce said in a news release that the Grand Ole Opry has been “the greatest love” of her life from an early age.

“All of the greatest writers, legends and pioneers have been on that stage, and I feel them in my bones anytime I walk in the stage door,” she said. “To actually be asked to join the Opry family, there are no words.”

Florence announces intent to replace aquatic center with park Chris MayhewCincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The time to enjoy a dip in the four-acre Florence Aquatic Center is likely at an end as city offi cials announced plans June 22 to replace the closed pool with a park.

The aquatic center that features a pool and lazy river was opened in 2003 on the Florence Government Center campus off Ewing Boulevard.

The water world has been closed since the end of the 2019 season with COVID-19 restrictions being to blame for 2020 and 2021 closures.

Construction on a new park on the aquatic center grounds could start as early as this September once decisions are made on what amenities to include, according to the release sent from the mayor’s offi ce on behalf of all council members.

The opening of a new park could happen as early as the end of 2022.

Opposition to the replacement plan has sprung up from community members with a Change.org petition garnering nearly 7,500 signatures in a week’s time.

Ideas fl oated by the city for potential new park amenities include splash pads and spray grounds, a multipurpose event lawn and an adventure playground with features to climb, jump, and slide, and zip on.

There could also be room for festivals, shows, exercise classes, farmer’s markets, family movie nights, and ice skating in the winter, according to the release.

The aquatic center is typically open for a 10-week season, whereas a new park and community event center will have a chance to be open year-round, offi cials said in the release.

“We’re very excited about the opportunities this new park off ers the whole community and it will be great fun exploring the possible features that could be added,” Mayor Diane Whalen said in the release.

Whalen announced that the council doesn’t want to make a decision on their own, and community input will be sought.

An online survey will be released this summer on the city’s Facebook page and Twitter account, according to the release.

Council members, prompted partially by the pandemic’s closure of the aquatic center, raised questions about whether it should ever reopen.

Council decided a park that will be free to everyone without admission would be more fi scally responsible.

The cost to operate the center a day is on average about $7,500, said Linda Chapman, Florence’s chief fi nancial offi cer in the release. The average daily attendance at the aquatic center has represented about 2 percent of Florence’s population. Florence’s popula-

Ky. businesses hurt by unemployment insurance debacle Your Turn Mitch McConnell Guest columnist

As COVID-19 infections fall, vaccination rates rise and America reopens, this upcoming summer should be full of optimism and hope. But, for too many Kentucky businesses and families, our miraculous recovery is being undermined

by Washington Democrats’ out-of-control spending and irresponsible programs that pay people more to stay at home than go to work.

Earlier this month, I traveled across the Commonwealth to meet with constituents and listen to their concerns.

During my visits, the consequences of the Democrats’ misguided economic agenda were clear.

I heard a single, overwhelming message from hardworking Kentuckians: the Biden administration’s excessive spending has raised prices and made it almost impossible to get people back to work.

When meeting with small business owners in Henderson, Shelbyville and Paducah, nearly every single employer told me that they are facing a worker shortage. Washington liberals may not have to deal with the eff ects of their irresponsible policies, but Kentuckians certainly do.

One small business owner I met, Steve Meador, is looking to hire 25 people at his packing and logistical services company in Shelbyville, but has struggled to fi nd new employees because of government policies that discourage work.

He has been forced to turn away potential customers because of a lack of workers, disrupting vital supply chains that run through the Commonwealth.

This is what happens when far-left Democrats in Washington call the shots on Kentucky’s economic recovery.

Another employer I spoke with, Terri Lundberg, runs a medical imaging service in Paducah and said that the labor shortage has stretched her current staff thin. Employees across the health care industry already endured immense strain during the pandemic and now have had to take on extra hours and re-

sponsibilities to provide needed medical services to their communities. Now that safe and eff ective vaccines are widely available, there is no reason for Kentucky’s vital frontline workers to continue to shoulder this burden alone while others are paid to stay home.

Democrats promised that their socalled "American Rescue Plan" would create 4 million new jobs this year, but so far this multi-trillion-dollar liberal wish list has grown the national debt, spurred infl ation and prevented workers from returning to the labor force.

Even Larry Summers, a top economist in both the Clinton and Obama administrations, predicted that Democrats’ misguided economic policies would undermine our recovery and pile a moun-

Kentucky offi cials warn of unexplained bird deaths Indiana; Maryland; Ohio; Virginia; Washington, D.C.; and West Virginia.

The department is asking people in aff ected counties to stop feeding birds until further notice.

Statewide, it is also encouraging residents to: h Clean bird feeders and baths with a 10% bleach solution immediately, and once a week after. h Avoid handling birds (wear disposable gloves if handling is necessary). h And keep pets away from sick or dead birds.

People who spot a sick bird can report it at research.net/r/ 2021KYSickBirdReports.

Bailey Loosemore Louisville Courier Journal USA TODAY NETWORK

Kentucky offi cials are encouraging people to report observations of sick or dead birds that may be experiencing an unidentifi ed illness.

On June 18, the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources wrote on Facebook that it had received reports of birds with "eye swelling and crusty discharge, as well as neurological signs."

The birds include Blue Jays, Common Grackles and European starlings, though other species may be aff ected, the department said.

The reports have come from Jeff erson, Kenton and Boone counties, but other states have also reported seeing birds with similar cases, the post stated.

According to the Associated Press, similar problems have been reported in

tain of debt on our kids and grandkids.

The lackluster jobs reports from the past two months have confi rmed these fears, undershooting expectations by hundreds of thousands of jobs.

Small businesses simply cannot compete with government programs that encourage Americans to stay on the sidelines of our economic recovery.

Kentucky still has 90,000 fewer workers than we did before the pandemic, while nationwide workforce participation has stayed stagnant for almost a year. Kentuckians are now paying the price for Washington Democrats’ reckless spending spree.

Some governors are taking matters into their own hands and starting to clean up this mess. As of early June, 25

states, including fi ve of the seven bordering Kentucky, announced they will opt out of these short-sighted federal programs. It’s time for our state to join them and stop Democrats from taxing working Americans to subsidize those staying at home.

As the Senate reconvenes for another work period, I’m taking the stories I heard in Kentucky back to Washington.

Democrats might think they can push their failed policies while neglecting the needs of hardworking Kentuckians, but I will continue to fi ght to defend our economic recovery and deliver for businesses and families in the Bluegrass State.

Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, is the Senate Minority Leader.

Freeze pesto When my friend and former colleague Lisa Mauch – an Eastside reader – and I get together to cook, it’s always an adventure.

Like last week, when Lisa visited with her wild bounty: garlic scapes and mulberries. Along with those, she brought turnip greens from a local farmer. “Can we make turnip greens pesto with garlic scapes and make mulberry jam?” Lisa asked. OK by me!

Having enough mulberries to make jam is a rare treat around here. We have mulberry trees along our old country road and when we fi nd mulberries we eat them out of hand. I have never gotten enough to make jam. I adapted a strawberry jam recipe and it worked well.

Now about the wild garlic scapes.

Pandemic led to fewer fi nancial aid requests. Where does that leave students?

Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Ariyana Blunt had her sights set on Tennessee State University, a historically Black public university in Nashville. The 2021 graduate from Withrow University High School says she had dreams of being the fi rst of her siblings to graduate high school on time, go to college and get a good-paying job that she enjoyed.

“To just start a diff erent lifestyle for our family,” Blunt, 18, says.

But in the chaos of COVID-19 and virtual learning, Blunt says, she had trouble getting ahold of her school counselor. She couldn’t ask anyone at home about applying for federal student aid, since her mother and older sister had dropped out of high school early.

She missed the deadline. Worry started to set in, Blunt says. She saw her dreams start to slip away.

“I really started to panic because I knew, the background I come from, I would not be able to pay (for) college,” Blunt says. “And my biggest fear as a teenager is to have college debt. I was really trying to avoid it.”

Blunt is not alone. With less than two weeks before the June 30 deadline, Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) entries were down 3.6% nationwide this year compared to last year, according to an Associated Press analysis of federal data as of June 11. Applications were also down by 5.8% in Ohio, down by 11.6% in Kentucky and down 5.2% in Indiana.

At Withrow, applications were down 50% from last year, an Enquirer analysis of FAFSA applications shows. Across the 16-county Cincinnati region, applications fell by 6.4% to roughly 10,900 students, the Enquirer analysis of federal data reveals. Submissions were down at 72 of 114 schools in the database gathered by AP. Not only is fi lling out the form a necessity to obtain federal student grants and loans, it’s often a requirement for state fi nancial aid as well.

Despite the dip in fi nancial aid applications, kids are still applying for college – in fact, more of them than ever before.

According to the Common Application, a nonprofi t membership organization that connects applicants to nearly 900 higher education institutions, more than 640,000 additional applications were submitted through Common App this year compared to last year. That’s more than an 11% increase.

Brent Shock, vice president for enrollment management and student success at Miami University, says these numbers indicate a disparity in the type of students funneling into higher education.

“What the worry is is that we’ve lost – and by we I mean society, our community, our nation – has lost a highly vulnerable group of students that may not get into the admission/college enrollment cycle,” Shock says.

Students who need fi nancial aid to go to school and kids who require extra, face-to-face guidance to make their dreams of pursuing higher education a reality may have fallen through the cracks during the coronavirus pandemic, Shock says. He thinks the culprit is likely virtual and hybrid learning models.

Low student engagement brought fewer applications Though many school districts were remote in the fall months – when both the Common App and FAFSA opened – the majority of local schools returned to in-person learning this spring as staff and students began to receive COVID-19 vaccinations.

Ariyana Blunt graduated from Withrow University High School in May 2021. After graduating, she applied for Ohio’s Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), which has enabled her to partake in a 12 week information and technology program this summer at Kable Academy. She hopes to use this internship to one day get a job in cybersecurity.

ZANE MEYER-THORNTON/THE ENQUIRER

Emma Steele, senior public relations manager at the Common App, says fi rstgeneration applications were down slightly from last year in early April, but since then have “ticked up slowly.”

There was a 4.7% increase year-overyear of fi rst-generation applicants, though Steele says 30% of this year’s total Common App entries were fi rst-generation students compared to last year’s 31%.

“From what we can tell, fi rst-generation and fee waiver students waited (until) later in the season to apply,” Steele says. Fee waivers are often given to students fi lling out the Common App who demonstrate fi nancial need.

Ericka Copeland, president and CEO of the Cincinnati Youth Collaborative, says she, too, noticed a decrease in engagement earlier in the pandemic that has since started to rebound. The organization has many programs for Cincinnati youth, including mentorship opportunities and classes focused on college and career readiness.

“Let alone the opportunities to do FAFSA or ACT prep, college searches and that – students weren’t even showing up for class,” Copeland says of the pandemic days. “The academics is the fi rst priority.”

Some of the families Copeland works with have never had to fi le a FAFSA. She says the application is “monstrous,” even for her.

Casey Jaynes, director for middle and high school learning support services at Boone County Schools, also can attest to the “daunting” task of fi ling for federal aid. FAFSA applications were down 20% compared to last year at Boone County High School.

“It’s a process,” he says. “I have a master’s degree and was a principal for seven years and it was all I could do to get my three kids’ FAFSAs fi lled out so they could go to school. So if you’re a new person to the area or you have a language barrier or anything like that, I mean, it’s hard.”

Jaynes says Boone County Schools battled high levels of disengagement during remote learning, which could have contributed to the FAFSA decline.

He also says students seemed pessimistic about college in October because many local universities were operating

virtually.

Many Boone County Schools’ families also deal with language barriers, Jaynes says.

Others lost jobs during the pandemic, and since FAFSA collected 2019 tax information this year there could have been fears that the application would not accurately depict families’ needs.

‘We don’t want (students) to lose out on even $500’ Filing for FAFSA is important for every family, says Nancy Aniskovich, counseling department chair at Turpin High School. Waiting too long to apply could hurt students’ chances of receiving substantial aid.

Aniskovich says she encourages students to apply as soon as they can once FAFSA opens each year on Oct. 1.

“As the FAFSA applications are being completed schools are starting to dole out that money. And it is a thing that eventually the money is going to run out,” she says.

Turpin is one of the rare schools in the Cincinnati region that went against the trend this application season. Its fi nancial aid applications were up more than 21% from last year.

Neither Aniskovich nor Turpin principal Dave Spencer could say for sure what led to the dramatic increase in the school’s FAFSA applications, but both spoke to the overall success of in-person learning during COVID-19.

Aniskovich says the high school has developed “best practices” for communicating the importance of FAFSA with students and families. She says Turpin counselors provide separate presentations about the application process with parents and students and then bring it up again during one-on-one meetings with students at the beginning of their senior year.

“It’s need-based aid, but we say to them don’t second-guess it. If you think that maybe your mom or dad makes too much money and they won’t qualify for aid, do it anyway. Carve out a half-hour, 45 minutes and just sit down and do it because there’s no downside to it,” she says.

The parent presentations are crucial, Aniskovich says, since students can’t fi ll

out the application alone.

“Every college and university gets to decide what qualifi es as need. So just because the government says this is what we think your expected family contribution should be doesn’t mean that those, especially small, colleges will agree with that,” Aniskovich says.

Looking to the future Blunt says many of her friends also missed the FAFSA deadline or other due dates for post-graduate opportunities while in remote learning.

“It was just so stressful this year, honestly,” Blunt says, “because everybody had to scramble when we got back to school in January to get stuff done that really should have been done in October.”

Her panic subsided slightly when she found out about another aid opportunity in her second bell educational opportunities class.

Ohio’s Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) programs don’t pay for college, but they do help with various training programs.

Through Cincinnati Youth Collaborative’s Jobs for Cincinnati Graduates, Blunt applied for WIOA and was accepted into a 12-week information technology program this summer at Kable Academy. She will graduate this September with her certifi cation and, she says, hopefully, job prospects in the fi eld of cybersecurity.

Blunt says she’s excited about this new path, though it’s diff erent from her original dream.

She says she used to think college was the only route to a good-paying job and successful career. And she still might go to a university, someday.

For now, though, Blunt is still basking in the glow of her late May graduation at Fifth Third Arena. Her grandmother, sister, aunt and uncle got to watch her walk across the stage. It was “extremely emotional,” Blunt says.

“I feel like if you don’t go through anything, then you don’t learn anything. So I had to take all of the challenges that I’ve been through in my high school career and take them as lessons and use them for my future,” Blunt says.

The Associated Press contributed.

Study says Kentucky is kindest state in the US Maria Aguilar Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Kentucky has been crowned the kindest state in the U.S. in a new study commissioned by Verizon as part of its campaign for #ACallForKindness. Ohio came in 13th and Indiana ranked 29th.

The study was conducted in partnership with the nonprofi t Kindness.org and it set out to determine the current state of kindness in the country.

Researchers surveyed thousands of people from all states and backgrounds on what acts of kindness they would be

willing to do – and the results were positive across the board.

“Most people are willing to do most of the things that we asked them, including donate a part of their liver to a family member, loan money to a friend during a fi nancial crisis or help a stranger push their car out of the snow,” said Dr. Oliver Scott Curry, research director for Kindness.org. “Overall, our research revealed a surprisingly high capacity for kindness across America.”

The goal of the campaign, which was launched in November 2020, is to encourage everyone to be kinder in their

day-to-day lives. #ACallForKindness shines a spotlight on the impact all good deeds make, no matter how small.

The initiative calls on everybody to pledge to commit an act of kindness. So far, 9,000 people have joined in.

The top 10 kindest states 1. Kentucky 2. New Mexico 3. Oklahoma 4. Georgia 5. North Dakota

6. Alaska 7. New Hampshire 8. Missouri 9. West Virginia 10. Wyoming

'Wow' stats from the survey h 86 percent would donate a part of their liver to a family member h 72 percent would lend money to a friend in a fi nancial crisis h 53 percent would donate their vacation time to a colleague

SPORTS Simon Kenton senior named Miss Softball James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Simon Kenton High School’s Macy Krohman has been named Kentucky’s 2021 Miss Softball by the Kentucky Softball Coaches Association.

The senior pitcher/infi elder batted .567 with 16 home runs, 49 RBIs, 12 doubles and 59 runs scored this season in helping the Pioneers go 15-20 and reach the Eighth Region Tournament. As a pitcher, Krohman was 8-10 with a 1.98 ERA and struck out 107 batters in 99 innings.

She was also fi rst team all-state in 3A, the big school class. The association splits the state into three based on enrollment for its awards.

Grant County eighth-grader Brianna Knochelman was second team in 3A. Just a middle-schooler, she was 12-7 on the mound with a 1.18 ERA and 282 strikeouts in 142 innings, nearly two per frame. She also had two saves. She was also the Braves’ leading hitter at the plate, batting .445 with four home runs and 32 RBI, plus eight stolen bases. She only struck out twice in 110 at-bats.

Grant was 22-10 this season, winning the 32nd District and reaching the Eighth Region semifi nals.

Named honorable mention in 3A were Dixie Heights senior Brooke Albert, Campbell County junior Bella Bastin and Cooper junior Dylan Scott.

Albert missed the last 15 games of the season to injury, but hit .593 with 17 stolen bases and 31 runs scored while playing top defense in center fi eld.

Bastin, a junior, hit .512 with eight homers and 34 RBI, while also leading the Camels in runs scored (38), and also played center fi eld.

Scott, a junior, hit .492 with fi ve home runs and 65 RBI for the Jaguars, who were 23-14 and Ninth Region runner-up.

In 2A, Pendleton County sophomore Kayley Bruener was named fi rst team all-state and Highlands junior Anna Greenwell was named second team.

Bruener led the LadyCats to the state quarterfi nals for the second straight season. Pendleton was 25-12 and 10th Region champions.

Bruener was 18-7 on the mound with a 2.06 ERA and 263 strikeouts. She was the team’s top hitter with a .581 average and a team-high nine home runs and 39 RBI. Greenwell was the Northern Kentucky Athletic Conference Division II player of the Year after leading the Bluebirds to a 28-10 record, the most wins in the Ninth Region.

Greenwell hit .536 with 10 home runs and 67 RBI while stealing 29 bases.

The University of Cincinnati is paying $380 an hour to conduct an investigation into fi red men’s basketball coach John Brannen.

Bond, Schoeneck & King, the law fi rm representing the university, has been appointed Special Counsel to conduct the investigation with a budget of $49,000 that was scheduled to end at the end ofJune, according to documents obtained by The Enquirer through Ohio’s Open Records Act. The investigation will end June 30 “unless terminated earlier by the Attorney General or renewed by the Attorney General at the conclusion of the fi scal year,” according to the documents.

Kelly A. M. Woods, the deputy director of outside counsel for the offi ce of Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, told The Enquirer on Thursday that outside counsel for similar cases is usually assigned through the end of the fi scal year. Fiscal Year 2021 runs from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

Woods would neither confi rm nor deny that Special Counsel’s investigation into Brannen is still ongoing.

Brannen, who was fi red April 9 after just two seasons as UC head coach, fi led a lawsuit May 21 against the university, UC Director of Athletics John Cunningham and UC President Neville G. Pinto, seeking compensatory damages, punitive damages and the more than $5 million buyout he says he’s due.

He also is asking for a jury trial.

The university has yet to respond to Brannen’s lawsuit. It has until Aug. 6.

UC Clermont baseball team takes second place in World Series Submitted by UC Clermont

The University of Cincinnati Clermont College men’s baseball team has taken second place in the 2021 United States Collegiate Athletic Association Small College World Series.

After defeating Penn State Brandywine, Penn State Mont Alto and number-three seed Mississippi University in earlier rounds, the top-seeded Cougars fell to Penn State DuBois in the National Championship winner-take-all game May 20. The tournament took place in DuBois, Penn.

UC Clermont’s regular season, which the team fi nished 20-10, was plagued by cancelled games due to COVID-19, weather and other setbacks. The Cougars pressed on, though, undeterred.

“This team kept working hard, kept their focus on getting better and earned the #1 seed for the World Series,” said head coach Keith Bauman.

Once at the World Series, “the team eff ort was tremendous,” Bauman added.

The Cougars played six games in four days and took on the two-time defending National Champions and host team, Penn State DuBois, in three separate bouts.

“This team met every challenge head-on with determination,” Bauman said. “I am proud of this team for the heart and character they showed during the World Series.”

Before the start of the series, a record number of outstanding student athletes on the team were recognized at a ceremony Sunday, May 16.

Reports: NKU Norse basketball to visit Indiana in December Dave Clark Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Northern Kentucky Norse basketball team will visit the Indiana Hoosiers at Assembly Hall in December, according to multiple reports.

In addition, WDRB.com's Rick Bozich reported June 16 that Norse head coach Darrin Horn said his team also will visit the Big East Conference's DePaul Blue Demons in Chicago during its non-conference schedule.

The NKU-IU matchup Dec. 22 was fi rst reported via Twitter earlier this week by @TheD1Docket.

Both reports indicated that the game in Bloomington - which would be the fi rstever showdown between IU and NKU - will pay the Norse $85,000.

NKU also has never faced DePaul.

Both IU's Mike Woodson and DePaul's Tony Stubblefi eld are entering their fi rst season as head coach at their respective schools.

Stubblefi eld was a University of Cincinnati Bearcats assistant coach from 2006 to 2010.

Cunningham’s decision to terminate Brannen came two weeks after Cunningham announced the university was using “independent fact fi nders” to review unspecifi ed allegations related to Brannen and the men’s basketball program after six of Brannen’s players entered the transfer portal.

Madsen, have since elected to return to Cincinnati to play for newly hired head coach Wes Miller. Cunningham offi cially hired Miller from UNC Greensboro on April 15.

Neither Cunningham nor representatives from UC’s Offi ce of General Counsel responded June 24 to requests for an update on the investigation.

UC’s Offi ce of General Counsel provides “advice and counsel to UC as an institution, its Board of Trustees, and its offi cers, employees and agents when acting on behalf of the university, on all matters having legal signifi cance

to the institution,” according to the university’s website.

Brannen’s lawsuit claims “during the course of purportedly investigating, suspending, and terminating Coach Brannen ‘for cause,’ Defendants deprived him of his constitutionally protected procedural and substantive due process rights.”

The 66-page suit says Brannen’s suspension with pay, which began April 3, and his subsequent termination were the “result of a sham ‘investigation’ that was unfair, unreliable and inherently fl awed and nothing more

than a smokescreen to avoid triggering a contractual buyout clause that would have cost the University millions of dollars.”

UC hired Brannen in April 2019, eight months before Cunningham took over as Cincinnati’s athletic director.

Brannen spent the previous four seasons at Northern Kentucky University.

The Bearcats went 32-21 in Brannen’s two seasons.

Cincinnati fi nished 12-11 last season and failed to advance to the NCAA tournament for the fi rst time since 2010.

Grilling safety and nutrition reminders The scent of charcoal and delicious meats and marinades cooking on the grill are sure signs of summertime. As we spend more time cooking outdoors, it is important that we also remember food safety and nutrition.

Food safety ensures that food is prepared and cooked in a way that kills harmful bacteria that Rex cause foodborne illness.

Many grilling food safety practices are the same as with indoor food preparation.

Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and warm water before and after handling all food. Do not cross-contaminate raw and cooked foods. Wash cutting boards, utensils and dishes before preparing each new item and always use a clean platter when removing foods from the grill.

Safely defrost frozen foods in the refrigerator, microwave or in cold water.

Never thaw food at room temperature.

If your recipe requires you to marinate your food, do so in the refrigerator.

Make enough marinade to divide between raw meats and the sauce. Do not reuse marinade that was placed on raw meats as a sauce on cooked foods.

Juices from raw meats can contaminate cooked food.

When grilling, use a meat thermometer to make sure the meat is cooked to a high enough temperature to kill any bacteria. Cook ground meats, including beef, pork, lamb and veal, to an internal

shutters, shades & blinds

temperature of 160 degrees F. Other cuts of these meats, including steaks, roasts and chops, need to reach 145 degrees F after a 3-minute rest period.

Grill all chicken and poultry to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Without using a meat thermometer, you may be tricked into thinking a meat is cooked before it actually reaches a safe temperature, because the outside of meat browns quickly on the grill. All grilled meats need to maintain a temperature of 140 degrees F before serving. Accomplish this by keeping meat on the side of the grill away from direct heat or placing it in an oven warmed to 200 degrees F. While meats are the fi rst foods that often come to mind when we talk about grilling, they are not the only foods that are tasty when cooked on the grill. You can grill a lot of fruits and vegetables.

Peaches, pears, pineapples, bananas, apples and melons grill well. Select fi rm fruit that is not too ripe. Over-ripe fruit can end up too soft when grilled. You can enhance their fl avor by applying olive oil or lemon juice before placing them on the grill.

Place fi rm vegetables like corn on the cob, asparagus and eggplant directly on your grill’s cooking grid. Brush with olive oil and season with fresh herbs.

Frequently turn vegetables to keep them from burning. Wrap smaller or chopped vegetables, along with a little oil and seasoning, in aluminum foil before grilling.

Cooked food should not set outside for more than two hours. If it is warmer than 90 degrees F, then food should not set out for more than one hour.

NKY One to One Reading programs awarded $30,000 Greater Cincinnati Foundation Grant Greater Cincinnati Foundation (GCF), in partnership with its donors, awarded nearly $620,000 in Educational Success grants to 23 nonprofi t organizations, including $30,000 to the Northern Kentucky Education Council’s One to One Reading programs.

The Education Success grants re-

cently awarded by GCF support in-and out-of-school educational programs that address racial and socioeconomic disparities in educational and career attainment or programs that support social emotional learning and health for students of color and those of low socioeconomic status. The pandemic has further exacerbated the barriers these students face.

“Supporting equity in education is more important now than ever,” shared Zohar Perla, GCF Program Offi cer.

“These organizations are working to make our region one where all students fl ourish, both in school and beyond and we are proud to help support that work.”

“Literacy is the great equalizer, especially for children of color and poverty, yet COVID-19 magnifi ed the gap in access to resources and academic opportunities for many of these students,” said Polly Lusk Page, Director of One to One. “We are extremely grateful for the generous support of the Greater Cincinnati Foundation.”

The grant will help support and accelerate student learning by providing focused expansion of One to One Reading programs in 16 school communities that have the highest percentage of children of color and children living in poverty.

One to One off ers business leaders, community volunteers, and parents/ guardians an opportunity to play an integral role in helping young students with the necessary support to be successful in reading. One to One Reading programs off er tutoring by trained coaches and provide parents/guardians with resources needed to help their children.

Dr. Randy Poe, Executive Director of the Northern Kentucky Education Council, said “One of the Council’s overarching regional goals is to ensure all students are reading on grade-level by the end of third grade. By leveraging cohesive strategies in and out of school, we will be able to help mitigate the aff ect that the pandemic has had on literacy for some our youngest students in Northern Kentucky.”

One to One partners with more than 30 schools in Northern Kentucky. Volunteer coaches are trained to tutor students in 1st-3rd grade during the school See COMMUNITY NEWS, Page 9B

Although this puzzle isn’t Father’s Day-themed, he says it’s nice that his first Sunday puzzle will run on his first Father’s Day as a father. About five years ago, he and his wife started solving the Sunday Times crossword together, first on paper, then on a tablet. Michael now does the Times puzzle every day.

In addition, the One to One Parents as Partners program provides a multi-generational approach by working with parents/guardians in the same school community where children are being tutored. Parents learn eff ective reading strategies to use with their child to help increase their growth in reading.

Superintendent of Dayton Schools, Jay Brewer, encapsulates the critical need for the One to One programs.

“We all know that the COVID-19 pandemic has been a challenge and struggle for many of us. We have been forced to change habits and behaviors. The virus has limited our ability to go out and directly serve our communities. One to One Reading Coaches change lives! It is essential that we get all kids reading by 4th grade. As we return to school in August, will be sending out the “One to One” signal to call everyone back to the front lines of our literacy battle. We are counting on our Reading Coaches to be our Cavalry. Our cavalry of Coaches will be called upon to create a surge of volunteers to catch kids up and have them reading by 4th grade. Will you answer our call? Our kids hope so.”

Covington, KY – The Rose Garden Center for Hope and Healing is proud to announce it received a grant from the Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels (HOKC) in the amount of $2478 to purchase at-home monitoring equipment for about 70 impoverished patients who are fi ghting chronic diseases: blood glucose meters for diabetes, blood pressure cuff s for hypertension, and body weight scales for cardiac patients in danger of congestive heart failure.

on donations and volunteers in delivering medical, dental, and counseling services to all who ask for help, without charge.

HOKC will award $2.1 million in grants supporting 275 non-profi ts, impacting close to 3.7 million Kentuckians. Grants are made possible through donations from contributing Kentucky Colonels from throughout the Commonwealth and around the world who chose to exercise this honor in a meaningful way.

According to Commanding General Hal Sullivan: “When HOKC Trustees met with grant applicants this year, we were reminded how hard the pandemic has made life harder for many folks, from fi rst responders in community service charities to the clients themselves. Thanks to Kentucky Colonels from around the world who donate to the Good Works Program, HOKC can lend a helping hand to so many local charities that provide essential services that lessen the impact. Because a Colonel cares, we make giving to others a Proud Kentucky Tradition.”

Trader Joe’s Crestview Hills location has opening date!

Emily DeLetter Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Northern Kentucky is fi nally getting its Trader Joe’s.

The Crestview Hills Town Center recently announced on Facebook that it will hold a grand opening for the grocery store, located in the former JosephBeth Booksellers, at 8 a.m. July 16.

The 20,000-square-foot book store at 2785 Dixie Highway closed in May 2020, partially due to COVID-19.

Trader Joe’s Kenwood, nearly 18 miles away from the planned Crestview Hills store, is the closest existing Trader Joe’s in the Cincinnati area.

The other Trader Joe’s in Kentucky are in Lexington and Louisville, according to the store’s website.

Trader Joe's is set to open in Crestview Hills on July 18.
