Construction continues at the site of the future Andrew J Brady ICON Music Center at The Banks in downtown Cincinnati on June 16. It has indoor and outdoor event space, which can host different events at the same time. It has a capacity of 4,500 indoors, with general admission seating for 2,700 people. Outdoors, the venue can hold an additional 8,000. PHOTOS BY SAM GREENE/THE ENQUIRER

The stages for two large music venues have started to emerge on both sides of the Ohio River. But during a pandemic, there’s no one to play on them. Governors for Ohio and Kentucky have not eased coronavirus restrictions for large concert halls to reopen. If nothing changes by next spring, two silent concert halls will sit on opposite sides of the Ohio River: one at The Banks entertainment complex in Cincinnati and another at the massive Ovation development in Newport. They’re scheduled to open this winter and spring to an uncertain and possibly non-existent music scene. It’s not just Cincinnati. Music venues across the nation were among the first to close and will be the last to open among businesses in the country, said Audrey Fix Schaefer, spokeswoman for the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA). NIVA formed in March as the coronavirus pandemic spread and now represents 2,000 music venues pushing for Congress to provide financial relief to venues. “This is devastating for our industry,� Schaefer said. “We’re still closed. Restaurants are able to open at partial capacity. We can’t operate like that, unfortunately. We’re a gathering place. The whole point is to be shoulder-to-shoulder.�
Shows on hold The developers of the two music venues in the Cincinnati region said they’ll survive the pandemic and will finish construction. The outline of the stage for the Andrew J. Brady ICON Music Center is being built now in the shadow of Paul Brown Stadium. There are no acts booked yet for the venue set to be finished at the end of
Construction continues at the site of the future AEG Presents/PromoWest concert venue in Newport, Ky., on June 16. AEG Presents/PromoWest announced in May 2019 it would build a $40 million indoor-outdoor concert venue and 550-space parking garage in Newport after PromoWest's plans to build a concert venue at The Banks on the Cincinnati side of the Ohio River were rejected.
November/early December. The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra is building the concert hall and will manage it through its nonprofit, Music and Events Management, Inc.(MEMI), which owns and manages Riverbend, PNC Pavilion and the Taft Theatre. The venue on The Banks will have an indoor stage for 4,500 people and an outdoor stage overlooking a lawn that can hold 8,000. The Ovation Pavilion in Newport is set to open at the end of March or early April 2021. Like the ICON, the Pavilion will be an indoor and outdoor venue, seating 2,800 inside and 7,000 outside. The developer, Columbus-based PromoWest, has tentatively booked 26 acts for April through June 2021, said CEO Scott Stienecker. PromoWest also manages nine venues in Columbus and Pittsburgh. Stienecker declined to name any of the acts since it’s not certain the concerts will happen. “The industry is on hold,� Stienecker said. “We’re talking to all the agents every day.�
“We’re still closed. Restaurants are able to open at partial capacity. We can’t operate like that, unfortunately. We’re a gathering place. The whole point is to be shoulder-to-shoulder.�
FRANKFORT – Kentucky’s 650,000 public school students will be required to wear masks, have their temperatures checked and keep their distance from peers in order to safely return to class this fall, according to the #HealthyatSchool guidance released by Gov. Andy Beshear’s administration. State officials, including Lt. Gov. Jacqueline Coleman, said schools will rely on support from their local communities as they work to enforce new rules in their classrooms. Asked what she would say to parents who balk at the requirements – especially the condition for children in grades one and above to wear masks – Coleman invoked the ongoing dangers of the COVID-19 pandemic. “I would very simply say that wearing a mask is more comfortable than wearing a respirator,� said Coleman, a former teacher who also serves as secretary of the Education and Workforce Development Cabinet. The guidance, which was created by the Kentucky Department for Public Health, with feedback from the Kentucky Department of Education, superintendents and teachers, laid out five key areas for schools to consider as they craft reopening plans: social distancing, cloth masks, health screenings, sanitation and contact tracing. The #HealthyatSchool guidance comes less than a week after Republican leaders in the Kentucky General Assembly issued a stern letter to state education officials, writing that there was a “great deal of frustration� among district superintendents over a lack of clear direction. Public, private and religious schools have been shuttered since mid-March, when Beshear recommended – rather than required – their closure. With Wednesday’s announcement, his administration continued to largely avoid issuing broad mandates, including whether schools should begin the year with in-person classes. “We are allowing flexibility to school districts to resume educational services as they see fit,� Coleman said, adding that she expects to see a variety of scenarios as schools reopen. Some may begin with in-person classes, while others will begin with remote instruction, she said. Jefferson County Public Schools, Kentucky’s largest district, plans to announce its reopening plan in mid-July. A spokeswoman for the district said JCPS would review the new guidelines and “come up with innovative ideas to maxiSee SCHOOLS, Page 7A

Music Continued from Page 1A
The show goes on in Arkansas, Kansas The few attempts at live music in the age of the coronavirus haven’t proven sustainable, venue operators told The Enquirer. Mike Brown in Arkansas wanted to see if it could be done. He called his friend, blues-rock artist Travis McCready and asked if he was interested in playing Brown’s 1,100-seat theater, TempleLive, in Fort Smith. McCready accepted. The May 18 concert caught the attention of Rolling Stone and New York Times, who billed it as the fi rst concert in the country since the pandemic hit in March. It was a capacity crowd of 200 people in the 1,100-seat auditorium. TempleLive’s COVID-19 protocol included hand sanitizing stations and distancing the patrons into groups called “fan pods” at least 6 feet apart. The small crowd chanted “You’re making history” to McCready when he took the stage, Rolling Stone reported. The owners lost money on it. They weren’t expecting to make a profi t, Brown told The Enquirer. Brown said it was an experiment. “We learned people wanted to show up,” Brown told The Enquirer. “We had designed a plan that was both accepted by the health department and state. We were able to have a show.” TempleLive plans on moving forward with more concerts this year, but with bigger audiences. The company also owns theaters in Kansas and Cleveland. Since the May concert, restrictions on mass gatherings have eased in Arkansas and Kansas, where TempleLive owns a theater in Wichita. It’s in Wichita on July 11 where country music duo Maddie & Tae is scheduled to play in TempleLive’s 1,000-seat auditorium. It’s the company’s fi rst show since May 18. There will still be temperature checks at the door and hand sanitizing stations. Unlike the McCready concert, it will be a bigger crowd and closer to capacity. Right now, the plan is to have at least 700 of the 1,000 seats for sale. It will depend on what Wichita will allow, he said. They’re working out the details, Brown said. It will be bigger than the concert in May. “You really can’t operate at that low capacity with most touring artists,” Brown said. TempleLive’s theater in Cleveland will remain shuttered waiting on Gov. Mike DeWine to lift restrictions. TempleLive is in the minority. Most venues in the country don’t have any fi rm dates for shows.
Here’s who’s performing in Cincinnati There were still two shows not canceled this year for Cincinnati’s largest

venues when this article was originally published, Riverbend and PNC Pavilion. They are rock band KALEO on Sept. 25 and country singer Luke Bryan on Oct. 1. The Taft Theatre still has shows scheduled for August. But those were booked before the pandemic hit and are far from certain, said Mike Smith, president of MEMI, which operates the Taft, Riverbend and PNC Pavilion as well as the new venue being built on the river. Until there’s a vaccine or treatment for coronavirus, Smith and others are skeptical any concerts will take place. “The issue becomes, will there be tours or talent that would be available under those circumstances?” Smith said. “Nothing is happening right now.”
No venue designed for coronavirus The designs for the venues in Newport and Cincinnati haven’t changed. Both MEMI and PromoWest have worked out scenarios to provide temperature checks for each patron to ensure no one has a fever. The bathrooms boast touchless faucets and toilets. But there’s only so much you can do, Smith and Stienecker said. The two venues in Cincinnati and Newport do have an advantage: both have an outdoor stage. Health departments have viewed outdoor events and activities as safer. And it’s easier to social distance outside. Regional bands and tours might spring up early next year, Smith and Stienecker said.
“For the big national type stuff , we need the industry rolling and ready to go at full capacity,” Stienecker said. “They need a vaccine.”
Concerts might never be the same Even with a vaccine, the concert industry could be changed forever. Surveys have shown people may be reluctant to go back into crowds after the pandemic. In March, Performance Research polled 1,000 residents across the country; 44% said they’d attend fewer live events after the pandemic has passed. Whether that concern will ebb remains open to debate. A poll in June by ABC News-Ipsos showed that while a majority of Americans remain concerned about the pandemic – 69% – that’s a decline of nine percentage
points from the previous week. Venues might have to get used to more limited capacities, said Dan McCabe, who owns MOTR Pub and Woodward Theater in Downtown Cincinnati. Both are popular, smaller music venues that have hosted both national and up-and-coming acts. “Just after the Beverly Hills Supper Club fi re, you had new fi re codes put in place,” McCabe said, referencing the 1977 fi re that destroyed the popular nightclub in Southgate, Ky., and killed 165 people. “You’re going to have new capacity requirements that will come up with this.” And many venues might not re-open. Of the 1,000-plus theater owners in NIVA, 90% in early May said they will close permanently if the government doesn’t provide relief by September, the sixmonth mark since the pandemic closed everything down, Schaefer said. NIVA has lobbied Congress to provide more fl exibility in federal funds, such as the Paycheck Protection Program, so venue owners can use it toward rent, utilities and other expenses. As for Cincinnati’s venues, Riverbend, PNC Pavilion, the Taft, Andrew J. Brady ICON Center, Ovation Pavilion, MOTR and Woodward will be back at the other end of the pandemic, the owners told The Enquirer. It’s just a matter of when. “Everybody wants to tour, wants to work, wants to go to shows,” Smith said. “I think there’s going to be great demand once we get the green light.”

Finally, I get it, Dad Bonnie Jean Feldkamp Columnist USA TODAY NETWORK
“I just want to see the Grand Canyon. When does that happen?” my husband asked. We were car hunting at the time, planning for a teenage driver, and we needed a more fuel-effi cient third car. We would give our new driver the old car with all of the miles on it. But how were we going to squeeze a car payment and steeper insurance premiums into a budget that was already packed with payments for a class trip to Costa Rica, winter band ensemble, ACT prep classes, and a YMCA membership for the young swimmer? Every sacrifi ce was worth it; we knew that. The kids were happy, healthy and had opportunities for experiences to help them grow as people. That’s the important stuff , but I couldn’t help but wonder if they knew how much of our day went into making sure that they were on track to achieve their individual goals. Around the same time, a moisture problem in the basement ruined the bottom of a box I’d had since high school. It was time to salvage the contents or pitch them. In the box, I found a fi le of papers from my dad, mostly old report cards and teacher’s notes to remind me I was a horrible student. My kids are much better students than I was. I also found an envelope marked “Newport Schools.” As a kid, I lived in Newport but I went to Highlands in Fort Thomas because of their excellent band program. Plus, where we lived on the east edge of Newport, Highlands was closer for me.
“He was going to make me go to Newport, because I was such a bad student.” I shouted up the basement steps to my husband. I shook the evidence I held emphasizing my defi ant assumption. A display worthy of any adolescent. Then, I pulled out the papers and read. I couldn’t believe it. I was wrong. In letters dated my sophomore year of high school, I learned that my father wrote to the Newport school board, the superintendent, and even the State’s Department of Education to fi ght for me. A policy change meant Newport would no longer permit students in their district to attend alternative public schools. My dad appealed the decision at every level. I read letters that my dad wrote boasting of my band accomplishments and detailing reasons why I should be permitted to fi nish my high school career at Highlands because he felt that it was in my best interest. In the end, my dad found a way to keep me in Fort Thomas Schools. They stated the cost and no doubt he sat at his desk, the one that pushed up against his bedroom wall, and he punched his calculator to perform that parental blood-from-a-turnip magic trick that so many parents do. I had no idea. I am grown with three kids of my own, and I fi nally “get” it. Happy Father’s Day to my dad and to all dads just trying to fi gure things out for their kids.

GNC is closing more stores and many mall stores are expected to be targeted. KELLY TYKO/USA TODAY
GNC plans to permanently close up to 1,200 stores Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
GNC Holdings Inc., parent company of health and wellness retailer GNC, has fi led for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and said it plans to close “at least 800 to 1,200 stores.” The Pittsburgh-based chain – which had approximately 5,200 retail locations in the U.S. and 7,300 locations globally as of March 31 – said the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the need to fi le for bankruptcy protection after being under "fi nancial pressure for the past several years." "The COVID-19 pandemic created a situation where we were unable to accomplish our refi nancing and the abrupt change in the operating environment had a dramatic negative impact on our business,” the retailer said in frequently asked questions about the decision.

In recent years, GNC has been cutting down on locations. In November 2018, GNC offi cials had announced that they would close up to 900 stores over the next three years in the U.S. and Canada as leases expire. In July 2019, the retailer said it planned to focus the closings on mall locations. GNC has not yet released a list of locations that will close, but the saturated Greater Cincinnati market could be a target. As of June 24, GNC's website said it operates 27 locations in Greater Cincinnati, from Union to Middletown and as far west as Lawrenceburg. There are six locations in Northern Kentucky alone. Many of the Greater Cincinnati GNC locations are in malls, strip malls and shopping plazas such as Crestview Hills Town Center, Cincinnati Premium Outlets and Eastgate Mall. USA TODAY contributed.

Cincinnati orders counselor to stop off ering conversion therapy Sharon Coolidge
Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Cincinnati has ordered a therapist to stop conversion therapy aimed at children and teenagers – the fi rst time the city has used a 2015 city law that bans conversion therapy for children. These laws are much more prevalent nationally than when the law was passed in Cincinnati, but diffi cult to enforce because therapy is often done in private. City lawyer Chris Liu issued a cease and desist order June 11 to Jerry Armelli, a licensed therapist and founder of Prodigal Ministries. He had been advertising conversation therapy for youths and teens. Armelli complied, according to city offi cials. Armelli has since removed that of the website, a review of the site shows. Armelli had been advertising on his Prodigal Ministries website that he offers classes "preventing homosexuality in today's youth." It said, before being taken down: Are you the parent of a teen or young adult who is in the midst of a gender identity struggle and asking yourself, 'What can I do to intervene?' Did you catch your teen viewing 'gay' pornography? Has your teen openly identifi ed himself or herself 'gay?' ... Throughout the year, Prodigal Ministries off ers classes for parents, youth pastors, and churches on preventing homosexuality in today's youth. These classes teach practical ways we can help our children become comfortable with their gender identity. The advertisement was brought to the attention of Councilman Chris Seelbach, the city's fi rst openly gay councilman, who championed the law. He, in turn, notifi ed the city's law department, which investigated. Cincinnati municipal code section 769-3 specifi cally prohibits "sexual orientation or gender identity change efforts" regarding minors. "Please consider this letter as written notice to immediately cease and desist any conduct, within the geographic boundaries of the city of Cincinnati, that may constitute sexual orientation or gender identity change eff orts with a minor," the city letter to Armelli said. The letter ordered Armelli to remove parts of his website "that specifi cally offers gender identity change eff orts to 'youths' (and) 'teens' and 'young adults.' "
Prodigal Ministries’ website. PROVIDED/CITY OF CINCINNATI
The letter outlined the punishment for not coming into compliance with the law, which is a $200 a day fi ne. Armelli had the option of agreeing to comply or seeking an administrative hearing. He chose to comply, city offi cials said. He did not return a phone call or email seeking comment when this article was originally published. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates. Seelbach, who himself as a teenager was subjected to conversion therapy, has been widely hailed for his championing of laws to make Cincinnati more inclusive. But this law drew some public opposition. Council passed the law, following California, Oregon, Illinois, New Jersey and the District of Columbia in banning the therapy. Cincinnati was the fi rst city outside of D.C. to do so. Today, 20 states, Puerto Rico, and 72 county, municipalities or communities and Washington, D.C., have banned conversion therapy by mental health providers, according to Enquirer research. The law came on the heels of the death of Leelah Alcorn, a transgender Warren County teenager who killed herself in December 2014.
Boone County’s fair called off because of COVID-19 Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
What each county fair in Northern Kentucky and Southwest Ohio is doing has become clearer with Boone County recently canceling and Hamilton County’s fair board saying they will go on as scheduled with precautions.
Northern Kentucky Many of the events that make the Boone County 4-H & Utopia Fair awardwinning are not permitted under COVID-19 regulations, according to a release on Facebook announcing the fair is canceled. The fair had been scheduled for Aug. 3-8. Boone County’s fair board will release details of how they will support the state-qualifying events of 4-H livestock, horse and dog shows and the Miss Sweetheart, Miss Teen and Miss Boone County Fair pageants, according to the release. i Kenton County Fair and Horseshow announced on its website there will be an abbreviated fair with no midway rides, track events like the popular demolition derby, or food vendors. There will be a 4-H children’s livestock, horse show, and beauty pageant in the abbreviated fair, according to the website. i In Campbell County, the fair dates for the 164th Alexandria Fair & Horse Show remain scheduled for Sept. 2-7.
Ohio Hamilton County Agricultural Society announced in a June 16 release that the 165th Hamilton County Fair will go on as scheduled Aug. 13-16 – with pre-

The fair board fully intends to have a normal fair with grandstand events, rides, food, exhibits and other entertainment, according to the release. The fair will go on keeping guidelines for COVID-19, according to the release. The fair board has been in contact with offi cials of Ohio, Hamilton County Health Department, and the Cincinnati Health Department, according to the release. The fair board will continue to work with the Ohio Board of Health, county and city health departments and Ohio Fair Managers Association to ensure the safety of fair patrons and fair volunteers, according to the release. i Warren County Fair announced on Facebook there will be a junior fair schedule July 20-25. Horse shows, livestock shows, a barnyard Olympics and aerospace and clothing and nutrition judged contests are among the scheduled activities. i Butler County Fair has reversed an initial decision to cancel to off er a fair limited to 4-H and Future Farmers of America participants July 26 to Aug. 1. i In Clermont County, the junior fair will be completely virtual during the July 26 to Aug. 1 fair dates, according to a June 9 Facebook post. All fair livestock exhibitors will show during the normal timeframe, but online, according to the post.
Her suicide note cited the controversial therapy to which she had been subjected. It ended with the plea, "My death needs to mean something." In an earlier Enquirer story about how diffi cult it was to make a complaint under the law, The Enquirer reached out to Armelli about his practice because of similar language on Prodigy's website. Armelli said in an email the ministry does not counsel youths in Cincinnati, but declined further comment. Most mental health professional organizations have spoken out against the therapeutic practice as not useful and possibly harmful to patients. “Having personally gone through the pseudo-science known as conversion therapy as a teenager, I know how destructive and damaging it is on kids," Seelbach said. "When the Prodigal Ministries website advertising conversion therapy on minors was brought to my attention, I was mortifi ed that kids in Cincinnati were still being subjected to a practice every major medical association has deemed harmful." Prodigal Ministries was established in 1986 to support men and women with unwanted same-gender attractions, its website says. It provides "counseling, support groups, mentoring, informa-
tion, and prayer for men and women seeking recovery from unwanted homosexual attractions, sexual abuse, sexual addiction and transgender issues.

The ministry helps with sexual addiction, sexual abuse, transgender issues and extramarital aff airs involving homosexuality, the website says. In 2003, Armelli told Cincinnati CityBeat newspaper, "We don't see homosexuality as part of God's divine intent for men and women. There are thousands of men and women acquiescing to homosexuality. Change is possible through religion, he says. He describes his own his journey from homosexuality to heterosexuality. In April of 1984, I was in a church in Cleveland when I had a supernatural encounter with the Lord." Armelli is an adjunct professor at Northern Kentucky University, where he teaches ballet, according to the NKU website.

mize learning in a safe and healthy environment for students and staff .” Other local school systems also said additional information would be forthcoming: i The Archdiocese of Louisville said it plans to release an announcement “later this week” about plans for the reopening of Louisville’s Catholic schools. i Bullitt County Public Schools Superintendent Jesse Bacon said in a letter to families that his district intends to open Aug. 26. Facebook Live events over the coming weeks will provide families with more information, he said. i Oldham County Schools Superintendent Greg Schultz said his district is “still working through details” of the guidance but will do its “best to meet the expectations ... while providing the best educational experience we can for our students.” Oldham plans to open Aug. 12. Dr. Steven Stack, Kentucky’s public health commissioner, said offi cials chose not to provide specifi c COVID-19 benchmarks for reopening because they did not want to off er “false precision where it doesn’t exist.” Looking forward to the fall months, Stack said Kentucky could avoid having to close its schools again – if teachers, students and their parents follow the new public health rules. “I hope we never have to go back to that kind of shutdown,” Stack said. Here’s what you need to know about Kentucky’s #HealthyatHome guidance:
Masks Students returning to in-person classes will be required to wear masks when moving around or if they’re within 6 feet of each other. Children in preschool or kindergarten will be exempt from the requirement. Schools should have extra masks on hand for students who arrive without their own face coverings. Though masks will be required, no student should be punished for not wearing a mask, offi cials said. Instead, the state is encouraging teachers and other role models to demonstrate, by example, the importance of wearing one. A challenge, according to interim Education Commissioner Kevin Brown, will be whether schools have support from parents and others in the community. In some areas of Kentucky, mask wearing has become a “divisive issue,” which is placing principals and teachers “in a conundrum,” Brown said in a recent call with superintendents across the state. Brown said community support will be crucial to keeping kids safe when they return to school. Namely, they need to see people in their families and societyat-large wearing masks while in public, he said.

returning to in-person classes will be required to wear masks when moving around or if they’re within 6 feet of each other. Children in preschool or kindergarten will be exempt from the requirement. Temperature checks Brown said that schools should be able to run full bus loads. Siblings will be expected to sit together. By placing their children on a school bus, parents are giving assurance that they do not have a fever, Brown said. However, if a student does have a temperature above 100.4 degrees, they cannot be left at a bus stop. Instead, they should be isolated to the greatest extent possible during the bus ride, with schools contacting their parents when they arrive to campus, according to the Kentucky Department of Education.
6-foot rule
People explore a new exhibit called "Shipwreck Realm of the Eels."
Students will be expected to remain, to the greatest extent possible, 6 feet apart from their peers during the school day. If classrooms are laid out so that kids are 6 or more feet apart, they may temporarily remove their masks. Otherwise, masks must remain on. Social distancing will be required in all common areas, and schools will be expected to place tape throughout hallways, marking off 6 feet of space.

Meals The state is recommending schools forgo regular cafeteria meal service amid COVID-19. Instead, schools should plan for diff erent ways of serving food, including off ering “grab and go” meals or serving meals in classrooms, the Kentucky Department of Education said. Schools will also have to lengthen lunch periods to allow students adequate time for hand washing and eating their meals in a socially distanced environment, KDE said.

KENTUCKY FISH AND WILDLIFE COMMISSION NOMINATION MEETING A meeting to nominate candidates for the 5th Wildlife District representative on the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Commission will be held July 7 at the Boone County UK Cooperative Extension Office, 6028 Camp Ernst Road, Burlington. The meeting will start at 7:30 p.m. (Eastern). Attendees should arrive by 7:15. A drive-in meeting format will be used because of current public health guidelines for large gatherings related to COVID-19. Attendees will remain in their vehicles, but will be provided with printed materials and may listen to an on-site audio broadcast of the rules and instructions for participating in the meeting. Residents of the 5th Wildlife District who, for the past two consecutive years, have either: purchased a Kentucky hunting or fishing license; or hunted or fished in Kentucky, but were not required to purchase a license, may participate in the nominating meeting and may be nominated. The 5th Wildlife District includes Boone, Bracken, Campbell, Carroll, Gallatin, Grant, Harrison, Henry, Kenton, Owen, Pendleton, Robertson and Trimble counties. The names of up to five nominees chosen at the meeting will be submitted to Gov. Andy Beshear, who will appoint one of the nominees to a term ending in August 2024, subject to Kentucky Senate confirmation. CE-GCI0443831-01
Employee testing The Beshear administration is asking that 10% of a school’s employees be tested for COVID-19 on a weekly basis. Schools’ insurance would cover that cost, offi cials said. If a school employee tests positive for COVID-19, they have the option of using any accumulated sick or personal leave. They may also qualify for leave under federal emergency legislation, KDE said.

Gosh, this week I’m having a hard time deciding what recipe to share. Will it be black and red raspberry jams? With this latest rain (thankfully) my berries are ripening fast. Or classic cherry bounce made with black sweet cherries? A good for what ails you “potion” and a lovely liqueur. Cherries are in season and I’ve gotten several requests to share that recipe again. If I’m going strictly by the number of requests, though, you want my totable orzo salad more than the jams or liqueur. I’m thinking that’s because July 4 is around the corner. Take a moment won’t you, and be mindful of the abundant blessings of living in this country. Yes, we’re living in challenging times. But we have love, fellowship and caring
along with amazing food. Good reasons to gather and celebrate this holiday. This orzo salad is the perfect “go with” for a summer meal. No worries, though, about the jams and cherry bounce. Go ahead, stock up and freeze the fruit if you want (cherries should be stemmed but leave the pit in). I’ll get you those recipes in the next couple of weeks.

SPORTS Cincinnati’s top pre-playoff prep football title teams picked Mark Schmetzer Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Yes, folks, high school football was played around here before post-season playoff s became a thing – 1959 in Kentucky and 1972 in Ohio. Welcome to the seventh installment of the Enquirer’s and Cincinnati.com’s eff orts to determine the best of the best. This time, instead of determining the greatest and most dominant of local state champions in a sport, we’re identifying the most dominant local football teams in the pre-playoff days. We’ve picked 10, starting with …
No. 10 – 1936 Newport Coached by “Blue” Foster and led by quarterback and captain Ralph Mussman and end Harry Walker, the Wildcats claimed the mythical state championship behind a shutdown defense that allowed a total of 19 points, which ranks tied for the 14th fewest in a season in Kentucky high school football history, according to the Kentucky High School Athletic Association website. The average of 2.1 points allowed per game ranks See GOAT, Page 2B

Ryle’s Maddie Scherr named Kentucky Miss Basketball James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
In what was almost a foregone conclusion after months of winning individual awards, Ryle 2020 graduate Maddie Scherr was named Miss Basketball Sunday by the Kentucky Lions Eye Foundation. The award was presented virtually Sunday, with a member of the committee showing up at her home to hand her the trophy on a live broadcast. She becomes the sixth Miss Basketball in Northern Kentucky history, all from six diff erent schools. Scherr follows Donna Murphy of Newport (1976), Jaime Walz of Highlands (1996), Katie Schwegmann of Bishop Brossart (2001), Erica Hallman of Holmes (2002) and Sydney Moss of Boone County (2012). Murphy was the fi rst player to win the award. “It’s a huge honor,” Scherr said. “Since I’ve been in the fi fth grade, I’ve thought about being Miss Basketball and it fi nally feels real.” She credited her loved ones in her life for helping her win the award. “Just the relationships with the people and everyone I’ve met, how they’ve supported me not just through basketball but through life moments and my high school career,” she said. The honor adds to the litany of awards Scherr has won this season. She became Northern Kentucky’s fi rst ever McDonald’s All-American, the fourth in Greater Cincinnati history and the fi fth in Kentucky history. The McDonald’s All-American All-Star Games were canceled by the coronavirus pandemic. She won the Gatorade Player of the Year in Kentucky for the second straight year and was also awarded the Donna Murphy Award by the Kentucky Lions Eye Foundation for her on-court and off -court success.
Scherr graduated as Ryle’s all-time leader in scoring, rebounding and assists, and led the Raiders to the 2019 state champion, Ryle’s fi rst title and Northern Kentucky’s second. Ryle won the Ninth Region for the third straight season this March and reached the state quarterfi nals before the tournament was canceled by the pandemic. She has a 3.8 GPA and is a Young Life participant and has acted as a Young Life Junior Leader and Mentor. She has been actively involved in coordinating Ryle’s girls basketball camps for kids and has volunteered as a leader at local youth soccer camps. Last year she set up, coordinated and ran a small group bible study for high school girls. She has signed with Oregon, an NCAA Final Four team in 2019 who was a national championship contender this past season before that season was canceled. "I’m a really versatile player,” she said. “I would rather give an assist than score a bucket, and I try to do everything I can to help." There is one more award on the horizon, as the Kentucky Associated Press has yet to release its all-state teams as voted on by media around the state. Simon Kenton senior Maggie Jones was also a fi nalist out of the Eighth Region. Covington Catholic guard Grant Disken was a fi nalist for Mr. Basketball, which went to Dayvion McKnight of Collins out of the Eighth Region. NKU signees Kennedy Igo from George Rogers Clark and Marques Warrick of Henry Clay were also nominated for Miss and Mr. Basketball, respectively. In addition, Walton-Verona’s Brant Smithers won an award from the Lions Eye Foundation for leading the state in free-throw percentage (90 percent). Simon Kenton 2020 graduate Jeremy Davis won an award for leading the state in 3-pointers per game (4.0).

Florence Y’alls to play with reduced capacity Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Y’all ready for baseball? The Florence Y’alls minor league baseball team announced June 24 that the team will play this summer with fans at 50% capacity. But it’s unclear which teams they’ll play, since its umbrella group, the Frontier League, canceled its 2020 season due to COVID-19. In April, the league postponed its season and hoped to just delay its opening day, originally set for May 14. Another independent league, the American Association, recently announced it intends to play a season starting July 3 with six teams in three hubs. On June 24, The Frontier League announced that the 2020 season was offi cially canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the various restrictions in each state.

On June 22, Gov. Andy Beshear announced that outdoor venues, such as baseball parks, may open at a 50% capacity. That means up to 2,000 fans can watch the Florence Y’alls play this summer, said Hannah Siefert, director of fan communications. Details about the Florence Y’alls 2020 season are still being worked out, Siefert said, and added that more information should be available soon. “The Florence Y’alls, along with the other teams that plan to play baseball this year support the fellow Frontier League teams that are unable to play baseball,” the press release from the Florence team said. The Courier and Press contributed to this report.

No. 3 – 1930 Highlands
tied for 15th. Newport’s recreation complex is named in honor of Mussman.
Led by another coach named Homer – Homer Jackson – the Bluebirds claimed Kentucky’s mythical state championship by going 10-0 and outscoring opponents by a combined 298-12. After giving up six points in each of their fi rst two games, they reeled off eight consecutive shutouts to end the season, including wins over Hughes by scores of 13-0 and 6-0 and 50-0 win over now-defunct Hartwell and 38-0 over Lockland. Highlands also routed Ohio Military Institute, 65-0, emphasizing their dominance on both sides of the Ohio River. End Frank Burdick made the school’s all-star team from the 1915-1953 era.
No. 9 – 1970 Cincinnati Country Day Prolifi c running back Rod Gaier fueled an off ense that helped the Indians outscore opponents by a combined 394-70 while going 9-0 and fi nishing seventh in the state in the Associated Press Class A poll. Geier was named a fi rst-team all-state off ensive back while Mark Comisar was named a second-team off ensive end for coach Dudley Hoff man’s team.
No. 8 – 1954 Elder Two fi rst-team all-state picks, quarterback Dick Selcer and defensive end Dick Royer, led the Panthers to the program’s fi rst-ever undefeated and untied season in Virgil Scardina’s second year as coach. Elder outscored opponents by a combined 319-65. Center Dan James was named second-team all-state. Selcer accounted for 17 touchdowns, 11 on the ground. Halfback Paul Kelly led the team in scoring with 75 points on 12 touchdowns and three conversions. According to Elder’s website, the ball-sniffi ng Panthers recovered 17 opponents’ fumbles and piled up 14 interceptions – six in a 46-0 win over Dayton Chaminade, now Chaminade Julienne.
No. 7 – 1957 Highlands Coach Homer Rice’s Bluebirds rolled to a 10-0 record and mythical Kentucky state championship led by a high-powered off ense that averaged 41 points per game and scored more than 40 points fi ve times. Quarterback Billy Straub, halfback Fred Crawford and fullback Gary Cochran capitalized on an eff ective line led by tackle Paul Finneseth.
No. 6 – 1969 Moeller Led by fi rst-team Class AA all-state defensive back Maek Daniel and second-team middle guard Vic Koegel, coach Gerry Faust’s Crusaders limited opponents to an average of 4.8 points per game while fi nishing 10-0 and No. 3 in the AP Class AA poll.

the Crusaders set a school single-game scoring record.
No. 5 – 1962 Roger Bacon Coach Bron Bacevich’s Spartans fi nished the season 10-0 and ranked eighth in the AP statewide poll behind a stiff defense that, led by fi rst-team all-state linebacker Jim Louder and third-team middle guard John Kesselman, grudgingly allowed a total of 32 points while scoring 356. Fullback Ty Anthony led a balanced, effi cient Roger Bacon off ense with 11 touchdowns. Louder was a 1992 Roger Bacon Athletic Hall of Fame inductee,
No. 4 – 1949 Purcell The late Jim Bolger, a fi rst-team all-state halfback, helped coach Jim McCarthy’s Cavaliers go 10-0 while outscoring opponents by a combined 446-57 and never allowing more than 12 points in any game and logging three shutouts with a defense led by linebacker Eugene Jockem. Bolger scored 17 touchdowns and backfi eld teammate Jack Martin added 13. McCarthy is generally credited with being the fi rst local high school coach to utilize the two-platoon system – separate offensive and defensive teams. The Ohio Sports Writers
Bacevich’s rugged Spartans outscored opponents by a combined 373-19 on the way to fi nishing 7-0 in the Greater Cincinnati League – now the Greater Catholic League – and 10-0 overall, good for third in the AP Class AA statewide poll. Linebacker Dan Miller was named second-team all-state. Behind a line anchored by tackles Jim Campbell and Dale Koch and guard Jim Humbert, fullback Rick Finan paced the off ense with 13 touchdowns and 82 points, one touchdown ahead of running back Ricky Howard. Quarterback Chuck Querner threw for eight touchdowns.
No. 1 – 1962 Wyoming Capping a banner season for Millcreek Valley high school football, an uncommonly large line featuring tackles Mendel Gentry and Barry Williams, guards Robin Steff ens and Charlie Ramsey and center Jim Pease paved the way for a Cowboys off ense led by quarterback Bing Guckenberger and running backs Hal Reames, Jim Commins, Bob Goodridge and Ted Yeager that piled up 446 points. The Cowboys’ defense, featuring many of the same players, allowed none. Yes. 446-0. Opponents, including a Woodward team led by future University of Cincinnati and National Football League running back Clem Turner, managed to penetrate inside Wyoming’s 25-yard line just four times all season. Amazingly, according to the Ohio High School Athletic Association website, coach Bob Lewis’s powerful squad got no votes for the AP statewide poll, which at the time included all of Ohio’s teams in one rankings. Additionally, no Cowboy was named to an AP all-state team.

Deadhead for longer bloom times In the garden, the practice of deadheading your plants can promote more blooms. Plants live to reproduce, and the way they do that is through their fl owers. When you remove dead blooms from a plant, you also remove their ovaries. Stolz Many plants then take the energy it would have used to produce seeds and put it into producing more fl owers, hoping the next time you’ll leave it alone to do its job. Of course, if you want continuous bloom in the garden, you won’t. From a purely aesthetic perspective, deadheading can improve the looks of your garden by reshaping plants and removing unsightly waste. Not all plants will rebloom after deadheading, such as daylilies and daff odils. In fact, deadheading is used more for annuals than for perennials. However, the practice can still benefi t perennials by forcing them to put their energy into the bulb or rhizomes rather than into seed production. This often produces hardier plants that bloom more profusely next year. Deadheading can also prevent reseeding, which can reduce your time spent weeding later. However, in late

summer or early fall, allowing some plants, such as conefl owers, to form seeds can give overwintering birds and other wildlife an important food source. Deadheading is an easy task and one that you can do as you stroll through your garden on a pleasant summer’s day. Simply pinch or cut off the dead bloom below the fl ower and above the fi rst set of leaves. Do this to all the dead fl owers on the plant. Some perennials, like dianthus, bloom profusely all at once, which means the fl owers will fade at the same time. It’s often easier to deadhead these with shears, taking the top one or two inches off the stems. This can stimulate a second bloom, though it will not be as lush as the fi rst bloom. If you have multiple fl owers on a stem, wait until all the fl owers have faded, then cut back the main stem. Some annuals, like petunia and verbena that produce lots of blooms also present a problem when deadheading. It is tedious to remove all the spent blooms. Wait until a natural break in bloom, cut the plants back, and apply fertilizer (only to annuals not to perennials in summer). Make sure there is ample water after fertilization. Many annuals will respond by renewing growth and resuming fl owering. Other annuals, like Wave petunias and Profusion zinnias often don’t need to be deadheaded. They will either continue to bloom without your help or are sterile and will not produce seed. Some perennials that will benefi t from deadheading include foxglove, bee balm, hollyhock, coreopsis, butterfl y bush, lavender, salvia and scabiosa.

REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Walz hired to lead NewCath Dance Team Newport Central Catholic is happy to announce that Taylor Anne Walz will be leading its Dance Team this school year. Taylor Anne Walz is a 2015 graduate of Newport Central Catholic. Taylor Anne has been dancing with Manyet Dance, LLC for 21 years and has been employed as a lead instructor for 11 years, working with ages three to 18. After graduating from NCC, she attended Thomas More University, where she received a degree in elementary education. While at Thomas More, she continued her dance training and helped to form the inaugural Thomas More Dance Team in which she served as captain for three years. After graduating, Taylor Anne took the position of events manager for the Offi ce of Institutional Advancement for the university and is continuing her education by working to complete her master’s degree in ethical leadership. Taylor Anne has been the assistant dance team coach at Bishop Brossart High School for the past three years and is very excited to take this next step into a head coaching position and launch the dance team program at NCC. “I am overjoyed to be back up on the hill doing something that I love so much! My time at Newport Central Catholic was fi lled with many wonderful opportunities and experiences, and I’m honored to be able to invest back into my school and our students. A dance team is something that I always wished existed at NCC, and I believe the program will off er current and prospective students an athletic experience rooted in
community, faith, and success.” Athletic Director Jeff Schulkens said, “We are pleased to have another talented alum on staff . Taylor is highly qualifi ed, and we look forward to the dance team returning this school year.” Tessy B. Krebs, Newport Central Catholic High School
WCC announces Seasongood Scholarship winners The Woman’s City Club of Greater Cincinnati established the Agnes Seasongood Education Awards to encourage responsible civic awareness among local high school seniors who identify as female. Students are invited to submit an essay on the topic of “Growing Into Citizenship: Trusting My Voice and Making It Heard,” with a letter of recommendation. Recipients are selected using a holistic approach with multiple readers who focus on what entrants have specifi cally done thus far and how they plan to continue to fi nd their voices and make them heard. This year we received nearly 50 submissions from nearly 30 area schools. Six $1,000 education awards were presented: ❚ Aissatou Barry (Taft) wrote about volunteering and her involvement in groups for young women, such as Girls in STEM and Women Writing for a Change, in her adopted city of Cincinnati. She is fl uent in four languages. ❚ Graciela Grunkemeyer (Beechwood) told us the story of her mother and her Abuelo Hector. She advocates for Latino students in Northern Kentucky, and is the fi rst student at Beechwood to be recognized by National Merit as a National Hispanic Scholar.
❚ Madison Kimber-Crutcher (DePaul Cristo Rey) wrote about her mother’s struggle with kidney disease. She plans to go into nursing, and currently coops through DePaul Cristo Rey at Mercy Health Anderson. ❚ Emma Krebs (West Clermont) wrote about challenges faced by women (including herself) pursuing a medical degree. Not only does she have the highest GPA in the history of her school, she also volunteers at the library, local hospital, Camp Cardiac, and a church group, and tutors students during her lunch bell. ❚ Dailey Moore (Taylor) wrote about being a self-advocate while living with a hearing impairment. She has traveled to Japan as a summer exchange student. She plans to attend the University of Cincinnati in the fall. ❚ Anastasia Pohlgeers (Campbell County) describes herself as “bent, not broken,” after her experiences in foster care. Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear recognized her as “a resilient, brave, and intelligent young woman when she spoke in the capitol rotunda for Children’s Advocacy Day.” WCC’s annual Feist-Tea fundraiser, held in December, helps raise the money for the scholarships. The awards also are funded by earmarked donations during our pledge drive, as well as the extraordinary generosity of an individual benefactor. Unlike most scholarships, WCC’s Seasongood Education Awards are presented in the form of a check to the student, and may be used for peripheral costs other than tuition if the awardee so desires. This year we are postponing our usual recognition event, but want to wish our scholars congratulations on their graduation and new adventures. Anne Skove, Woman’s City Club

BY BYRON AND HARRISON WALDEN / EDITED BY WILL SHORTZ Byron Walden is a math and computer science professor at Santa Clara University. Harrison is his 8-year-old son, who, with occasional assistance, has been doing crosswords for more than a year. The jokes in this puzzle’s theme are a collaboration between the two. Byron spearheaded the fill — although the top right and lower left corners are completely Harrison’s. The two wrote the clues together. — W.S.

Breathe easy Cincinnati: There will be no goetta shortage Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
COVINGTON— Here’s one less thing to worry about: there will be no goetta shortage. At Glier’s Goetta, the owners have invested both in meat stockpiles and machines that are intended to cleanse the virus from the air, keeping workers safe. So while the nation’s meat supply dwindles during the COVID-19 pandemic, Glier’s CEO Dan Glier, 71, says the goetta supply is safe and plentiful. “There won’t be a shortage of goetta,” Glier told The Enquirer’s That’s So Cincinnati podcast. Inside a brick building on Goetta Place in this Northern Kentucky city, workers recently mixed and packaged the meat-and-grain sausage mush. Anyone walking by couldn’t help but smell the mixed meat, an aroma often found in diners. You can only get goetta in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky region. It’s breakfast meat made by combining steel-cut or ‘pinhead’ oats with pork or pork and beef. It came with German immigrants during the 1800s. Glier’s - pronounced Glee-ers - is the largest commercial producer of goetta in the world, producing one million pounds of goetta each year. What made the supply at Glier’s Goetta safe from the pandemic? Glier pointed to a backpack-sized white machine that whirred above his employees’ heads. Nothing visible came out of the machine. Glier knew it was on because of the sound it made. The machine spewed out ionized hydrogen peroxide plasma into the air, which reduced the presence of viruses’ in the air. Glier hoped it would do the same for novel coronavirus. The machine pushed millions of ionized high energy clusters in the air that sought out contaminants and purifi ed the air and surfaces. The same technology is used in doctor’s offi ces. Glier bought the machines from the Dayton, Ohiobased company Extreme Microbial Technologies. The Food Science Institute at Kansas State University verifi ed that the technology is more than 99% eff ective at reducing viruses in the air and surfaces, according to the press release from Glier’s Goetta. In 1977, Glier took over the company after his dad died just three years into the family’s fi ve-year plan to get the younger Glier ready to take over. Since then, he’s immersed himself in the meat industry to stay updated on what the next best thing for the company would be. He learned about the $6,000 machines at the North American Meat Institution convention in Atlanta. He installed three in January 2019. As the COVID-19 pandemic spread across the U.S., Glier felt prepared because of the machines’ disinfectant abilities to keep his workers safe in the 7,000-square-foot processing plant. “This may not be the end all, but it sure is a big help,”

Glier said. He got gloves for his 29 employees and they maintain social distancing at their work stations. They were not wearing masks on Tuesday. He said he’s waiting for three more machines to install on top of three running already. The machines aren’t the only thing that’s keeping Glier Goetta on the shelves in the region’s grocery stores. Before the U.S. worried about COVID-19, Glier was worried about the African swine fever that decimated pig populations across Asia near the end of 2019, according to The Washington Post. So, in January, Glier ordered extra pork. He froze it and took from the stockpile whenever one of his suppliers couldn’t fulfi ll a full order. “When I saw what was starting to happen with COVID-19, I said ‘this thing can get out of hand.’” Glier said. “Not because of the disease, but because of the governmental reaction. That could lead to shortages or shutdowns.” In March, Glier put away even more product in the freezer. Glier estimated they have enough frozen meat to get through 10 weeks of any supplier shortage. Because of that, things haven’t slowed down at the goetta processor plant during the pandemic, Glier said. Fewer orders came from restaurants but more or-
ders came from retailers. He gestured to the stacks of meat products labeled to be sent to stores such as Costco, Sam’s Club and Kroger. “When we heard about COVID-19, we thought: Oh, we’re all set,’” Glier said. Unless they’re told otherwise by Gov. Andy Beshear, Goettafest will still happen, Glier said. Glier’s company has thrown the festival every summer since 2001 to celebrate the dish. “We’re planning on it right now,” Glier told That’s So Cincinnati podcast. “It’s looking like we’ll be able to open things up and Goettafest will hopefully be one of the fi rst festivals (of 2020).” Glier’s Goettafest is over two weekends: July 30Aug. 2 and Aug. 6-9 at Newport on the Levee.
