Where NKY home prices increased the most over the past decade Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Now, 10 fl ood gates protect Northern Kentucky’s riverfront cities. In March, gates closed as forecasters estimated the river would rise to a crest of 56 feet or a moderate fl ood stage. Newport City Manager Tom Fromme said the fl oodwalls “shut off ”
Home prices have soared in Northern Kentucky. In the past year, the average median price for a home in Northern Kentucky increased about 17% and about 23% nationally, according to data from the Northern Kentucky Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors. But what about over the longer term? The Enquirer analyzed 10 years of 31 Northern Kentucky cities’ real estate data to see how the market shifted. The cities included in the data are from the counties of Campbell, Kenton, Boone, Grant, Owen, and Gallatin. “We are witnessing two of the greatest extremes in probably the history of real estate,” said Northern Kentucky Association of Realtors President Ron Brossart. Simultaneously, it’s a great market for sellers but also the “most diffi cult” time for a buyer, he said. The Enquirer analysis revealed: h Where home prices increased the most. h Where the most expensive homes are. Brossart told The Enquirer the market shifted because of an expanded highway, walkability becoming popular, and low inventory pushing people to other areas. Florence-based realtor Stephanie Frost with Re/Max Victory + Affi liates said the increase in Sparta could be because of new jobs. For example, 20 minutes away from Sparta in Ghent, Nucor Steel Gallatin has been expanding. In 2014, Nucor Corp bought Gallatin County steel mill from ArcelorMittal and Gerdau SA for about $770 million. In 2017, it added 70 full-time jobs with a $176 million investment. In 2018, the company announced a $650 million expansion that created 70 jobs, according to the Northern Kentucky Area Development District website. According to population estimates, about 295 people lived in Sparta in 2019, a 27% increase from 2010. When Brossart reviewed The Enquirer’s data analysis, the fi rst city that popped out was his hometown, Newport. Between 2010 and 2020, the median sale price increased 127%. “A lot of people are investing in the west end of Newport,” Brossart said. “A lot of these properties that were rental properties for many years and dec-

NKY transforms its riverfront as it reconnects to the Ohio River Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
COVINGTON– Bobbye and Ed Winterberg peered across the glistening Ohio River as they enjoyed Northern Kentucky’s newest riverfront attraction, the $6.54 million Covington Plaza. Just steps away from the John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge, dozens of people celebrated the space's grand opening, which features a 1,350-seat amphitheater and event area. Live music, conversations, and yips from excited dogs signaled that summer had truly begun. For Ed Winterberg, this was more than a party. It meant regional leaders’ long-term visions for the riverfront are coming to fruition. “This meets and exceeds the dreams we had 50 years ago,” Ed Winterberg said. Covington took advantage of its riverfront, which he said has transformed it into a community hub. In a few years, more of Northern Kentucky’s riverfront will transform, too. Offi cials throughout the region say the riverfront will have parks with views of Cincinnati neighborhoods, expanses where people shop and live, Northern Kentucky neighborhoods lifted out of fl ood plains, and water vehicles to transport people along and across the river.

Covington Catholic students’ D.C. face-off featured in new documentary Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Nicholas Sandmann and other Covington Catholic graduates will step into the spotlight again in a new documentary fi lm, “The Boys in Red Hats.” The movie will premiere July 16 and will be shown in Cincinnati. The documentary was written and directed by Covington Catholic alumnus Jonathan Schroder. It focuses on the controversial encounter on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 18, 2019, between Covington Catholic students – who were there for a March for Life event – and a Native American activist, who was there the same day for the Indigenous Peoples March. A video of Sandmann, who was 16 at the time and sporting a Make America Great Again hat, and Nathan Phillips’ encounter went viral. The two stood face to face while Phillips played a drum and chanted. They were surrounded by a larger group of students whose chants drowned out Phillips. Accusations of racism and white privilege followed, and the scene was cast in a political light. Multiple news outlets covered the story and were sued by Sandmann, including the Washington Post, NBC and CNN, for libel and defamation. CNN and the Washington Post have since settled their cases. Another lawsuit, in which a dozen other Covington Catholic students accused CNN, the Washington Post and NBC of defamation and harassment, was dismissed by a federal judge earlier this year. Schroder’s “investigative” documentary is sure to “piss off both sides,” according to the trailer. “It was a very surreal experience to watch this story unfold and go viral and to read online banter between

family, friends and fellow alumni. I had a real visceral reaction to the video clips that were fi rst circulating and I formed an opinion quickly,” Schroder said in a news release. “It was certainly a challenge for me to stay objective because of my own personal experiences at Covington Catholic. I knew it would be going into making the fi lm. We all knew we would need to work outside of our comfort zones and bring in all perspectives; letting the
facts speak for themselves.” “The Boys in Red Hats” will be in theaters and virtual cinemas on July 16. Theaters in California, Georgia, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Washington will play the 87-minute-long documentary, which is not rated. The Esquire Theatre, located at 320 Ludlow Avenue in Clifton, will show the documentary. Showtimes and ticketing will be available online.
Ark Encounter: New Tower of Babel exhibit will ‘tackle the racism issue’ ASSOCIATED PRESS
WILLIAMSTOWN – A Bible-themed attraction in Northern Kentucky that features a 510-foot-long wooden Noah’s Ark is planning to begin fundraising for an expansion. The Ark Encounter said it would take about three years to research, plan and build a “Tower of Babel” attraction on the park’s grounds in Grant County. A release from the Ark Encounter said the new attraction will “tackle the racism issue” by helping visitors “understand how genetics research and the Bible confi rm the origin of all people groups around the

ades, some people are rehabbing those now they’re making them attractive and they’re selling them because the market is so hot.” Brossart attributed the increase to the 1.4-mile extension of Ky. 9/AA Highway which opened in 2018. It created a multi-line highway alternate from the I-275 Wilder exit to an Ohio River bridge crossing to Cincinnati for drivers who want to avoid I-471. “You got a new highway right there and it just seemed like there was a lot of people willing and wanting to invest in the west end of Newport,” Brossart said. Brossart said Covington’s price increase could be because people wanted to live in a community where they could walk to restaurants and shops. He added that investors were also drawn to the area to purchase inexpensive homes to rehab. In the past decade, none of the cities had a decrease in median sale price. The cities with the lowest price increase are: 1 Fort Mitchell - 14%. 2 Cold Spring - 18%. 3 Crestview Hills - 34%. 4 Hebron - 40%. 5 Burlington 42%. Brossart expects to see more out-of-state investors buy homes in Northern Kentucky. He’s already received investor calls from people in Michigan and Minnesota, for example. The “hot” market won’t calm down soon, Brossart
world.” No other details were given on the Babel attraction or what it might look like. Answers in Genesis in Petersburg in Boone County, the ministry behind the ark, raised private funds to construct and open the massive wooden attraction in 2016. The group preaches a strict interpretation of the Earth’s creation in the Bible. The group also founded the Creation Museum in Petersburg, which asserts that dinosaurs walked the Earth just a few thousand years ago, millions of years after scientists say they went extinct.

Add chopped tomatoes to blue cheese wedge salad Nell Wilson’s small batch blue cheese dressing Ingredients 1 cup real mayonnaise ⁄ 4 cup full fat sour cream

2 tablespoons vinegar, either clear or cider Sugar to taste – start with 1 teaspoon Minced garlic to taste – start with 1 heaping teaspoon 4 oz. crumbled blue cheese Instructions Whisk together everything but cheese. Stir in cheese and adjust seasonings.
Blue cheese dressing with buttermilk I didn’t have any buttermilk, so I made my own by adding lemon juice to whole milk. It’s an old fashioned method, sometimes called “curdled milk.” Ingredients Up to 4 oz. crumbled blue cheese (start with half and go from there) ⁄ 2 cup full fat sour cream

Wedge salad with blue cheese dressing and toppings. PHOTOS BY RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE ENQUIRER
⁄ 2 cup real mayonnaise
1
1 ⁄ 3 cup buttermilk (store bought or make your own: add 1 teaspoon lemon juice to whole milk, let sit a minute or so to thicken/curdle before using)
One recipe is adapted from Nell Wilson, Ron’s mom. She shared a large batch version a while back. I pared hers down for a smaller amount. The other is another small batch recipe I made today. Both are pretty creamy and can transition into dips, too.
Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist
Well, colleague and garden expert Ron Wilson held true to his promise about the tomato named “July 4.” “You’ll have ripe tomatoes by July 4,” he told me earlier this spring when I planted the tomatoes. Truth be told, I was a bit skeptical. But take a look at the photo of these tomatoes taken, yep, on July 4. Ripe never looked so good. This July 4 hybrid is not a large tomato, but it bears all season long. If I would have had enough, I would have made a tomato mozzarella tart recipe to share. That will have to wait, though. I did have plenty as a topping along with red onion, hard-boiled egg and bacon for a favorite wedge salad with blue cheese dressing. If you’ve never added chopped tomatoes to a blue cheese wedge salad, I hope you try it. Yummy!
1 small clove garlic, minced, about 1 teaspoon ⁄ 2 teaspoon dry mustard

Salt and pepper to taste
What makes blue cheese “blue”
Worcestershire sauce – a dash or so (optional)
Blue cheese is sometimes called bleu cheese. The cheese can be made from cow’s, sheep’s or goat’s milk. There are lots of varieties, from the less expensive blues to the pricey Stilton blue. The cheeses range from mild and somewhat creamy to very sharp, salty and crumbly. The cheese gets its blue streaks from, of all things, the Penicillium culture. They’re injected either into the curds or into the formed cheese.
Instructions Whisk everything but blue cheese together until well blended. Stir in cheese. Cover and refrigerate several hours for flavors to meld. To serve:
Freeze it
Cut very crisp iceberg lettuce into wedges. (I soak wedges in ice water, then drain well).
Blue cheeses can be frozen for several months. The texture will be more crumbly.
Top with dressing, and sprinkle on bacon, red onion, hard boiled egg and chopped tomato and extra blue cheese if you want.

Beshear: Kentucky to send National Guard soldiers to U.S.-Mexico border
moves. “This is not a request made by several governors that are out there, without the backing of the federal government,” he said. “What it means is we will have a clear chain of command, we will have clear missions that come down through the military, and our Guardsmen and women will have the authority that is necessary, and also the legal protections that the request by several other governors would not have.” Kentucky’s soldiers will join an “estimated 3,000 Guard personnel requested from other states,” Beshear said. “Let’s be thankful for the hard work and sacrifi ce of the soldiers, and I know every day their actions are working to build a better Kentucky, and better America,” he said.
Mary Ramsey Louisville Courier Journal USA TODAY NETWORK
Kentucky will deploy National Guard soldiers to the country’s southwest border later this year at the request of the federal government, Gov. Andy Beshear announced July 8. The deployment will likely begin “around October” and involve approximately 220 Kentucky National Guard members, Beshear said at his weekly press conference. The troops will provide “operational and logistics support.” The move comes as the United States deals with a rising number of migrants attempting to enter the country at the U.S.-Mexico border. Customs and Border Patrol reported 180,034 people tried to cross the border in May, the highest number in at least two decades. And the issue has become a focus of Republican criticism of the Biden administration. Republican South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem announced in late June plans to send up to 50 National Guard soldiers from her state to the southwest border using funds donated by a Tennessee

Economy has ‘ruined’ Newport Ferris wheel plans, city says Scott Wartman and Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
The regional market for large, permanent Ferris wheels may have dried up over the past year. There are no plans right now to build the two giant spinning observation wheels planned a year ago on the Ohio River, one in Cincinnati, another in Newport. Newport City Manager Tom Fromme recently told The Enquirer that the Newport SkyWheel slated for Newport on The Levee won’t happen anytime soon. He said the “economy ruined” the plans for the 230-foot wheel that St. Louisbased Koch Development would have built between the Levee and Newport

Aquarium atop the fl oodwall. The permit the Army Corps of Engineers gave the city for the structure in
2019 will expire on July 18, Fromme said. The possibility of another observation wheel returning across the river to The Banks doesn’t look much better. SkyStar had operated a 150-tall glowing wheel along Cincinnati’s riverfront from August 2018 to March 2020. It became a popular attraction and part of the city’s skyline. In March 2020, just as the COVID-19 pandemic started to spread, the St. Louis-based SkyStar company disassembled the wheel with the plan to rebuild a permanent 180-foot wheel within a year. But the pandemic has put that plan on hold, possibly for good. The CEO of the SkyStar company in December wrote the county administrator basically saying they would like to return – but don’t wait up.
“We respectfully ask you to keep the door open for the possibility of doing something on Lot 18 in the future but would certainly understand if something else comes along that you would like to do instead,” wrote SkyStar managing partner Todd Schneider in a Dec. 16, 2020 email to administrator Aluotto, regarding use of the lot the observation wheel was on in front of the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. Schneider has not returned numerous calls from The Enquirer since December on the possibility of the wheel’s return.

WEBN Labor Day fi reworks will be back at the Ohio River this year Emily DeLetter Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
This Labor Day, the Cincinnati skyline will light up once again with fi reworks from Western & Southern/ WEBN. The annual display featuring Rozzi Famous Fireworks is returning Sept. 5 along with Riverfest, according to the radio station. The event will kick off at noon at Sayer Point Park and Yeatman's Cove. Fireworks will launch over the Ohio River starting at 9 p.m. There will not be a kickoff party at Fountain Square, as previous years. The fi reworks show will also broadcast on WKRC Local 12. T-shirts will be available for purchase at participating Kroger locations and online through WEBN "soon," the
website states. The radio station will also host two "kickoff " party nights on Sept. 3 and 4 with concerts at PromoWest Pavilion at Ovation in Newport. Theory of a Deadman will play Sept. 3 and Atreyu will play Sept. 4. Tickets for both shows are available for purchase now. The Labor Day tradition did not take place as it usually does over the Ohio River in 2020, but instead moved to Kentucky Speedway due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time, citing health and safety reasons, organizers said they would "wait until 2021 to gather at the river." The Rozzi Famous Fireworks show is hosted by the cities of Newport, Cincinnati, Covington and Bellevue on Labor Day weekend, bringing large crowds to the riverfront. The fi rst Riverfest took place in 1977.

Riverfront Continued from Page 1A
the community from the river where people used to fi sh and swim. “We’re been working to fi x the riverfront, but also to reengage the river,” Fromme said. West said cities have revamped their visions on how to use the fl ood-prone areas many times. In the 80s and 90s, Covington hosted fl oating restaurants on the river. At Covington Plaza, people can still see the metal structures embedded in the river the restaurants used as an anchor to rise and fall with the river levels. City leaders in Newport and Covington have been working on large developments to bring retail, residential, offi ce space, hotels, and parks to the riverfront. Southwest of the new plaza in Covington, there are 23 acres that West sees as a “once in a generation” opportunity to connect the city to the river. Within those acres, thousands of workers used to process tax forms for the Internal Revenue Service. The center closed in 2019, ceasing operations after 52 years. In March 2020, the city bought the property from the federal government for $20.5 million. The city plans to use the space for retail, offi ce space, places for people to live, and a park at the top of the levee. West predicted workers will demolish the IRS site by the end of 2021.

Live, work, listen to live music Newport's project started in 2006. City leaders and Covington-based Corporex agreed to work together on the Ovation riverside project. A piece of it, the indoor/outdoor PromoWest Pavilion at Ovation music venue, will host its fi rst concert in September. The project will also include up to 1,000 residential units, retail space, a hotel, offi ce space, a 550 car parking garage, and a park along the river. The offi ce building and hotel will cost $53 million are estimated to be completed by the end of 2022. Residential buildings are estimated to be done by fall 2022, Corporex senior vice president of sales and marketing Heather Harris said in an emailed statement to The Enquirer. The costs for the apartments and condos will vary and be announced "at a later time," Harris said. This summer, a few condos with views of the Ohio River will be available for pre-sale. Right now, Corporex is building up an existing levee for the development project. "Our vision for Ovation was always to directly connect the community with the riverfront," Harris wrote. "Raising the levee wall, which is the fi rst step in the process, ensures all residents, tenants and visitors of Ovation are able to take full advantage of the beautiful views of downtown Cincinnati, while having direct riverfront access because there is something special about being on the water." Harris wrote. Nearby, at Festival Park, Newport will install a $3.1 million amphitheater. In 2020, Fromme said they secured a $2.5 million grant from the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments. Fromme predicted people will be able to use it by the end of 2021.

Fromme said the "economy ruined" plans for the Newport SkyWheel, fi rst announced in 2016. St. Louis-based Koch Development planned to build a permanent observation wheel atop the fl oodwall at Newport on the Levee overlooking Downtown Cincinnati. The permit the Army Corps of Engineers gave the city for the structure in 2019 will expire on July 18, Fromme said. Another project in Northern Kentucky was stalled by the pandemic-induced economic crisis in 2020. The city of Bellevue has $3.9 million of debt from acquiring riverfront properties in the 1980s and 1990s, said City Manager Frank Warnock. Offi cials want to fi nd development opportunities to get rid of the debt and increase the tax base. “We do not have the highest and best use right now, you know, with having just two restaurants on all that property with that view of Cincinnati,” said Mayor Charlie Cleves. So, they created a nine-member corridor study group made up of residents and business owners to study how to best use the riverfront. They released the report in February 2020 that said diff erent developers should transform the 10 acres into condominiums, buildings with street-level retail with apartments on top, and a hotel east of United

Dairy Farmers on Fairfi eld Avenue. “When it fi rst came out, we had all kinds of people coming to us and talking to us about it and wanting to get involved,” Cleves said. Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Cleves said “It was silent. We heard nothing.” As people recover from the pandemic, interest has increased. In January, the city sold 2 acres behind the LA Fitness Building on Fairfi eld Avenue for $100,000 to Ohio-based Nahariya Investments to build a water taxi dock. It’ll be a while before construction begins on the commission’s riverfront vision. Cleves said even if they signed a development deal today, residents would have to wait about two years before they see workers move dirt.
Neighborhoods lifted out of flood plains When Dayton Mayor Ben Baker
moved to the city 10 years ago, workers had just begun to shovel in thousands of pounds of dirt onto the city’s riverfront. The goal: lift 2 miles of the riverfront out of the fl ood zone to create the Manhattan Harbor neighborhood. The project began in 2005 and Florida-based developers, DCI Properties-DKY, dreamt people would move into milliondollar homes near retail space with a view of the Ohio River and Cincinnati’s Mount Adams neighborhood. “When 2008 hit and everything was dying, we couldn’t sell houses to save our lives,” Baker said. Since then, developers have moved away from the retail and million-dollar home idea. Now, the neighborhood will have single-family and multifamily units. The multifamily units range from two to fi ve units inside each building. “The views of Cincinnati are from our side,” said City Manager Jay Fossett. So far, 14 single-family homes have been built here; they cost $400,000 to $1
million. There are about 50 more singlefamily lots ready for homes. There are eight other larger sites along the riverfront that can be used for multifamily housing, offi ces, or other land uses. As he stood near the construction zones on Manhattan Boulevard, Fossett gestured to his right, where a grassy hill sloped down and met the paved Berry Street. “But the development plan calls for connection here,” Fossett said. The developers agreed to build a perpendicular road to connect the streets and give riverside residents a faster way to drive or walk to downtown Dayton shops and restaurants. Fossett hoped to see it built within the next two years. Near the connection, there will be a three-mile walking path loop, part of Dayton’s contribution to the regional Riverfront Commons eff ort. That project, managed by the Newport-based nonprofi t Southbank Partners, aims to connect six cities with a wide 11.5 mile walking path. Dayton’s strip of the riverfront also became home to two new apartment buildings. Tapestry on the River opened in late 2020 and Gateway Flats opened in spring. “It is a lot of housing,” Baker said about Dayton’s riverside development. “But, with Riverfront Commons, you know, there’s also a reconnection to the river that we’re providing that was disconnected for 30 years.”
Envisioning Ohio River shore futures In Boone County, there’s a “wide range of activity,” on the county’s 42 miles of Ohio River shore, said Boone County Planning Commission Executive Director Kevin Costello. Right now, machines conduct surface mining for gravel sand, ferries transport people to Southern Indiana to gamble and to Ohio's Hamilton County to avoid bridge traffi c on Interstates 71/75. People also live near the river in unincorporated communities such as Rabbit Hash, home to about 315 people, according to population estimates. The Boone County Comprehensive Plan, updated in 2019, noted the county’s shoreline is “viewed as an undeveloped resource for the county,” and added a land usestudy should be done. That way, offi cials will know the shoreline’s development potential for business, residential, recreational, resort, and ports, according to the plan. There’s no set timeline for when that study will start or be completed. It’s up to the Boone County Fiscal Court to initiate it, Costello said. He said the next update to the comprehensive plan will be in 2024, which “might be the opportunity to do that.” “When you have 42 miles of river frontage, it's very important that the access is provided,” Costello said.

Last year, at the height of the pandemic, I was attempting to triage a patient. It was a stressful time for frontline workers like me, who risked our own lives for other people every day. So I was caught off guard when the man I was caring for refused to let me touch him. "Are you even a U.S. citizen," he said, looking at my brown skin like it was some sort of plague. I wanted to tell him that I was a certifi ed medical assistant and highly respected by my colleagues. That I chose a career in health care at a time when qualifi ed workers are desperately needed. That without me, he might sit for hours without help. Instead, I swallowed my hurt and focused on doing my job. The man was right about one thing: I’m not a citizen. In fact, I’m undocumented. I was brought to this country without papers as a child and now have the legal right to live and work here under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. But what he – and many Kentuckians – don’t seem to understand, is how truly integrated we are into the daily life of this state. Our more than 4,200 Dreamers treat patients in Kentucky hospitals, care for Kentucky’s elderly and work jobs across Kentucky’s food supply chain. In fact, nearly half of the nation’s 1.2 million Dreamers are essential workers, according to New American Economy. Every day, we go to work to ensure that Americans are healthy, cared for and well fed. We do it with pride, because we love this country. I’m not asking for your charity or even your love. I simply want security. The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed the Dream and Promise Act, which would give Dreamers like me a pathway to citizenship. It’s something 74% of Americans – including more than half of Republicans – believe we deserve. It’s why I’m calling on Senators
Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul to support this legislation. Help Dreamers like me realize our true power and potential. We will make Kentucky proud. Like so many Kentuckians, Dreamers have an independent, bootstrapping spirit. It’s something we learned from our parents, many of whom fl ed poverty to give their children a better life. When my parents came here from Mexico, they worked in factories, as dishwashers, cooks and even construction, juggling multiple jobs to make ends meet. As soon as I got DACA and received my driver’s license, I started working too. I eventually enrolled in a medical assistant certifi cation program and then fought to stay after administrators tried to kick me out because of my immigration status. In 2018, I graduated near the top of my class and was quickly hired at a local hospital. Today, I’ve earned the support and respect of my colleagues and managers. When they look at me, all they see is a skilled practitioner and a committed colleague. Time and again, I’ve been tempted to give up. I never have. And neither have the nation’s Dreamers. We persevere. It’s why 94% of us are employed. Why we generate $100 million in household income. And why we pay $25 million in taxes annually. It’s why we’re fi lling crucial workforce gaps in fi elds like health care. That’s especially vital here in Kentucky, where 42.2% of our adult population is living with some kind of disability, nearly double the national average. A pathway to permanent status would only increase our earning potential and tax contributions. It would allow us to purchase homes and invest more in our local communities. It would allow us to move forward toward the future with our heads held high, instead of constantly looking over our shoulders. It’s why we need the Dream and Promise Act. Proud as I am of my heritage, I’m an American in my heart. I’m a Kentuckian through and through. I simply want to live without fear, do my job well and support my family. That’s what I would have told my patient if he’d given me the chance. Instead, I’m telling our senators. I hope they’ll listen. Lizbeth Caballero is a certifi ed medical assistant in Louisville.
Proposed tax code change would do more harm than good Your Turn Jesse Brewer Guest columnist
The Biden administration is exploring multiple ways to pay for its $1.8 trillion dollar "American Families" plan. One change being considered is to the 100-year-old rule in the tax code known as the 1031 tax exchange, which the administration claims could generate $19 billion over 10 years. Created in 1921, the 1031 tax code was put in place to allow investors to sell a property and then defer their gains to a later date by investing in a property that cost just as much or more than the property they are selling. To be clear – the investor will eventually pay taxes on the sale of the property; however, they are simply deferring that gain while they invest into another property. Under the Biden plan, the tax exchange would be limited to $500,000 for single taxpayers and $1,000,000 for married taxpayers, but sole proprietorships and corporations – which make up 84% of the tax exchanges – could be eliminated altogether. The intent is to keep these intact for the "smaller investor;" however, smaller investors make up 47% of the exchanges and their sole proprietorships will no longer be eligible. Generally speaking, property owners maintain property and new buyers invest into the property. This is how older buildings attract new investments, how areas are revitalized and how new developments happen. The sale of a property generates new loans, which provide jobs and business for banks, title fi rms and insurance companies, all of which are involved in the logistics of a closing. Then, you have all of the physical

trades jobs that perform upgrades to the property such as carpenters, concrete worker, electricians, plumbers and more as well as the materials and supply stores employ people to help investors while manufacturing benefi ts through the development of building materials. All of these jobs would be adversely impacted and potentially reduced or eliminated by the strangulation of investment into existing infrastructure. While it may not be possible to give an exact number into the future impact, we do have some very good estimation. According to a study conducted by Ernst & Young, like-kind exchange and related consumer spending could generate $7.9 billion in federal, state and local taxes while supporting as many as 710,000 jobs that will generate labor income of up to $34.4 billion in 2021. If a fraction of these conservative estimates holds true, then you can quickly see how the negative impact will cost far more to the American economy as well as local governments than the project net increase. And this is in addition to the other adverse impacts that are hard to quantify such as: h Lack of improvements to an area prevents other property values from rising; h Lack of property values rising impacts owners future ability to sell and recognize a profi t from when they retire; h Reduces revenue for schools, police and fi re departments as well as roads and other services we all depend on. The real estate industry is a critical key to our economy. The 1031 tax exchange is a very crucial component in keeping the real estate industry moving. To make these proposed changes is a short-sighted and fl awed policy that will cause far more harm than good. Jesse Brewer is a Boone County commissioner as well as an active real estate investor and broker.
Doctor Releases High Potency Blood Sugar Formula New breakthrough formula works better than many alternatives and can allow users to enjoy their favorite foods guilt-free.
A
new blood sugar formula gets an early release to help Americans cope with the blood sugar and A1C issues that have swept the US.
According to Dr. Ralph La Guardia, author of The Bible of Alternative Medicine and creator of Glucodoxin, the name of his pill, can help people maintain healthy blood sugar levels at a fraction of the cost of their current medications. Known as the ‘starcheating enzyme’, the special compound in Glucodoxin helps your body’s natural ability to digest and excrete sugars and starches. This means many people who struggle with blood sugar issues can still enjoy sweets, chocolate, potato chips, pizza and pasta. Many users report they no longer fear a life of needles and constant doctor visits. Scientific research shows people with high blood sugar and A1C are usually deficient in this ‘starch-eating enzyme’. And the makers of this formula have found a way to supplement this enzyme using a shocking source – grass-fed beef. The formula also contains other biochemicals that have been proven to be more effective than many more expensive alternatives. “This works better than my previous blood sugar pill and it’s about half the price,” explains Margaret Landry, of Oklahoma. “And it doesn’t make me sick. It’s been a real godsend. Now I can enjoy an ice cream with my grandson again.” Unfortunately, Dr. La Guardia has shared that he is experiencing product shortages as press coverage has spread the word about this shocking health solution.
A Statement From Dr. Ralph Of Glucodoxin: “Our inventory is limited so we will be filling orders on a first come, first serve basis. With the sellout risk high, and the ingredients becoming increasingly more difficult to source, we’re capping order size so everyone can get a chance to try it.”
Addresses Root Cause of Blood Sugar Problems As the American diet has adopted more and more processed carbohydrates and sugars, blood sugar problems have exploded. This is because as the body consumes more sugars and starches, it becomes resistant to insulin. Insulin allows the body to process carbohydrates and reduces blood sugar levels. If your body is resistant to insulin, it simply won’t be able process those sugars and starches and your blood sugar will skyrocket after meals. That’s when the horrible side effects can set in like extreme hunger, weight gain, vision problems and even infections that can lead to amputation.
THOSE WHO HAVE TRIED GLUCODOXIN CAN’T BELIEVE THE DIFFERENCE: Studies have found Glucodoxin can lower blood glucose and A1C levels without negative side effects. It does so by increasing the levels of a vital enzyme in the body that helps the pancreas produce insulin naturally. The result is naturally lower blood sugar and A1C levels at a fraction of the cost of other methods.
That’s why this breakthrough is so critical because it boosts the body’s ability to process starches and sugars with a powerful enzyme. Higher levels of this enzyme lead to naturally higher insulin levels which then leads to lower blood sugar levels. “High levels of this ‘starch-eating enzyme’ are associated with lower blood sugar, and lower levels of this enzyme are associated with high blood sugar and obesity. So boosting this enzyme can reduce many risk factors for people worried about their health,” explains Dr. La Guardia. It’s no wonder his company can barely keep it on shelves.
Scientifically Proven to Lower Blood Sugar In one study, the subjects were split into two groups. One group was given the enzyme in Glucodoxin, the other group was given a placebo. Then both groups enjoyed the same meal high in sugar and starch. After the meal, the group that was given the placebo had blood sugar levels 47% higher than the group that was given the enzyme. The placebo group had a massive blood glucose spike after the meal, whereas the enzyme group had a very small bump in blood glucose. The enzyme is called amylase, and it is made in the pancreas along with insulin. Supplementing your diet with healthy pancreas from grass-fed beef is a proven way to boost the performance of your body’s pancreas, since it has the same enzymes and biochemicals your pancreas produces. “That’s why we include 300mg of bovine pancreas extract in Glucodoxin. It provides a super powerful dose of bio-identical amylase,” notes Dr. La Guardia. “And since it comes from healthy, grassfed beef pancreas, it can help your pancreas’ ability to produce its own amylase and insulin. It’s a one-two punch.”
Additional Ingredients Make The Formula More Powerful “Plus we include two boosters to help people
who really struggle with blood sugar,” says Dr. La Guardia. Gymnema can also lower A1C by 15% and blood sugar by 21%. But it has also been shown to block sugar receptors in the digestive system. That means users of Glucodoxin can enjoy some sweets without worrying about a blood sugar spike. The sugars will simply be excreted, not enter the blood stream. Plus berberine has been proven to lower A1C by 21% and fasting glucose by 34% according to one study. Each capsule of Glucodoxin contains 200mg of berberine. “I was really skeptical before I tried it, but I am a believer now,” says Steve Petty, age 64, of Georgia, “I have a glucose monitor and since I started on Glucodoxin I’ve been totally surprised at how steady my blood sugar level is. I even had a margarita and fried ice cream at dinner the other night and it was barely a blip. I’m very grateful to Dr. Ralph and Glucodoxin.”
How To Get Glucodoxin This is the official release of Glucodoxin in the States. The company has decided not to sell their formula in stores at this time due to the current situation. Instead, readers can enjoy discounted, riskfree supplies by calling the company directly and speaking with their Consumer Care Hotline. Shipments will be delivered directly to doorstep in an effort to mitigate person-to-person contact. A FREE of supply of Glucodoxin, their flagship blood glucose formula, will arrive with every eligible order. That’s up to a $149.95 value - free.

SPORTS Highlands graduate Rom making progress in minor leagues James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – July 2. Although there was no minor league baseball in 2020 because of the pandemic, Drew Rom still found a way to improve his pitching game. The 2018 Highlands graduate pitched several games last season for the Florence Freedom during the Battle of the Bourbon Trail, a special arrangement between the Florence professional baseball franchise and the Lexington Legends. Florence and Lexington fi elded two teams apiece that played each other more than 48 games. “Back in 2020 when we kind of got the call that we weren’t going to have a season it was kind of just like, ‘What are we going do now? What’s going on?'” Rom said on Glenn Clark Radio, a Baltimore sports talk channel, June 11. “I was lucky enough to fi nd a league in August where I could actually (play) baseball. That was just a really good experience for me and it just kind of kept me on that competitive edge. … Now in 2021, it’s just great to be back.” Rom has been pitching this season for the Aberdeen IronBirds, the Baltimore Orioles’ High-A affi liate. Aberdeen is located about 30 miles northeast of Baltimore and is on the Chesapeake Bay. Rom improved to 5-0 after pitching six shutout innings against the Brooklyn Cyclones in a 2-0 win July 1. He allowed four hits and struck out six. For the season, he has a 3.14 earnedrun average in 48.2 innings. He has allowed 45 hits and struck out 53, while walking only nine. Opponents are hitting .242 against him. Of the 17 earned runs he has allowed this season, seven came in one game against Bowling Green June 13. He has allowed two total earned runs in his three starts since then. “What’s really impressive is how well he’s doing after being on his own last year with COVID and the minors being shut down,” Highlands head coach Jeremy Baioni said. “He comes down to be with us and get a workout in and get some throws in. It’s not a surprise to me that he’s doing well. He was still progressing when he had to work on his own and the lights weren’t on.” Rom was named Kentucky Mr. Baseball in 2018 after leading the Bluebirds to the state fi nal. He was drafted in the fourth round by Baltimore during that tournament and reported to rookie ball after that summer. Rom is currently ranked 25th among Orioles prospects by MLB.com, ninth among pitchers. Six of the eight pitchers See ROM, Page 2B

Top-10 area high school quarterbacks to watch fers.
Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Drew Novak, Western Brown (Jr.)
The beginning of the high school football season is just over a month away with Northern Kentucky and Ohio each scheduled to kickoff on Aug. 20. Here's a rundown of the top-10 quarterbacks to watch from each side of the river going into the 2021 season.
Brogan McCaughey, St. Xavier (Sr.) McCaughey had a dream fi rst season as a varsity starter in 2020, leading St. Xavier to a Division I state championship. Despite missing 2.5 games, McCaughey threw for 2,708 yards and 28 touchdowns. The fi rst-team All-Ohio selection set a school record with 556 passing yards in a 62-37 win over Cleveland St. Ignatius. In the postseason, he threw a game-winning touchdown with 27 seconds left to beat Lakota West in the regional championship game. In the state fi nal against Pickerington Central, McCaughey was 26-of-40 for 292 yards,

After a 14-touchdown, 12-interception freshman season, Novak exploded as a junior last season, throwing for a Southern Buckeye Conference-best 2,543 yards and 26 touchdowns against just fi ve interceptions. Novak threw three-plus touchdowns in each of the fi rst six games. In a shootout loss to Clinton-Massie, he threw for 497 yards and six touchdowns. The week prior, he threw for 518 yards and three touchdowns and ran for two additional scores against New Richmond. Novak led Western Brown to the program's fi rst-ever playoff win, tossing two touchdowns in a 42-12 victory over Athens. Novak was named fi rst team all-district and third-team All-Ohio.
Cameron Hergott, Beechwood (Sr.) Hergott is repeating his senior year under Kentucky Senate Bill 128, which
allows any student enrolled in a Kentucky public high school during the 2020-21 school year to request to use the 2021-22 school year “as a supplemental school year to retake or supplement the courses the student has already taken.” Hergott already has a decorated career with two state championships, including last year as the Tigers won the Class 2A title. He was named Mr. Football by the Kentucky Associated Press and the Kentucky Football Coaches Association after throwing for 2,467 yards and 26 touchdowns while rushing for 1,078 yards and 15 touchdowns. He is entering his fourth year as a starter with over 6,000 yards passing and 65 touchdowns, and nearly 2,400 yards rushing with 34 TDs.
Mekhi Lynn, Princeton (Sr.) As a junior last season, Lynn led Princeton to a 6-2 record, including a playoff win. Lynn led the Greater Miami Conference in passing with 1,429 yards See QUARTERBACKS, Page 2B

Energy of stadium can transform fans … and players Mike Bass Sports Columnist Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Bass will be contributing to The Enquirer by off ering advice for sports fans, athletes and youth sports parents and coaches through a weekly Q&A. You can reach him at mbass@mikebasscoaching.com or on Twitter @SportsFanCoach1. This is ridiculous, my friend said. How could a major league baseball player need the energy of a crowd to perform at a higher level? Javier Baez must need to be the center of attention, the friend concluded. “Look at me, look at me,’’ the friend said, mockingly. “Selfi sh,” the friend called the Cubs’ All-Star shortstop. The environment matters, I say. It matters for the players. It matters for you, too. Why do some fans need to attend a game with other fans to fully experience it? Feeling the highs and lows together. Escaping the world. Connected. Engaged. In the moment. And why are some fans losing themselves now as they return to the games? Throwing things at players. Making inappropriate comments. Drunk. Enraged. Out of control. The environment matters. We just respond to it in diff erent ways. Players are not analytics. Players are people. Some play better at home, some on the road. Conditions aff ect them. Former outfi elder Lou Novikoff wanted his wife to heckle him from the stands

to go with 17 passing touchdowns and six rushing. Lynn led Princeton to its fi rst victory over Colerain since 1997 on September 11, 2020. He threw for a career-high 309 yards and two scores and his three-yard touchdown run with 12 seconds left lifted the Vikings to a 41-37 victory. Lynn would later author Princeton's fi rst playoff victory since 2001, tossing two touchdowns and running for 84 yards in a 55-0 fi rst-round thumping of Oak Hills. Lynn, who holds a half-dozen Division I off ers, was named fi rst-team alldistrict and third-team All-Ohio.
Ty Thornton, Indian Hill (Sr.) Thornton helped Indian Hill cruise to a share of the Cincinnati Hills League title in 2020. The Braves went 6-0 in the abbreviated regular season and averaged 53.3 points per game with Thornton under center. He fi nished with a 61.6 completion percentage, 1089 passing yards and a conference-best 15 touchdown passes against just two interceptions. Thornton also ran for 398 yards and eight scores. He had multiple touchdowns in seven of eight games and threw for two or more scores four times. Thornton led Indian Hill to playoff win over Dayton Oakwood, but the Braves' season-ended with a one-point loss to Valley View in the second round.

ranked above him are older than him. MLB.com projects that he will make his major league debut in 2024. If Rom is promoted this season to the AA affi liate in Bowie, Maryland, that could be a signal that the Orioles are looking to get him to the major leagues sooner. Rom signed a $650,000 bonus coming out of Highlands, which raised expectations among followers of the team, according to the Baltimore Battery website. For the Orioles of the Gulf Coast League in 2018, he had a 1.76 ERA in nine starts. Over 30.2 innings pitched, Rom struck out 28 batters and walked just

sands of dives, routines and races in their heads, envisioning everything that can happen. It helps them prepare. Why not you? I asked one fan client who wanted to stop losing control of his emotions to close his eyes, envision being at a game and describe all that he was seeing … smelling tasting … hearing … and feeling. When I introduced a stressful scenario involving his team, and the fans around him, he could feel his heart racing and his body tensing. This was his ah-ha moment. His body was providing warning signs. If he could recognize those early, take some deep breaths or use other relaxation techniques, he could keep his cool and still feel the passion and drama. It takes practice, in your head and then in the game. It’s not about perfect. It’s about respecting how the envi-
the Lions, fi nishing with 22 touchdown passes and only four interceptions while averaging 220.7 yards-per-game through the air. On the ground, he ran for 566 yards (80.9 per game) and eight touchdowns. Smith threw 18 touchdowns passes in the fi nal fi ve games of the season, including six in a victory over Miami Valley Christian Academy. He was lethal on the ground, too, running for 100-plus yards on three occasions. Smith was also fi rst-team Miami Valley Conference, fi rst-team all-city and fi rst-team all-district.
ronment can aff ect you. It can embolden us beyond cheering and booing because, hey, everyone else is doing it. Inhibitions disappear, sometimes alcohol-aided. The ugly in us has reappeared at times, perhaps magnifi ed after isolation. In the NBA alone, fans have poured popcorn on Russell Westbrook, spit on Trae Young, tossed a water bottle at Kyrie Irving, spewed racist and crude remarks at Ja Morant’s parents, and fought each other at the Suns-Nuggets playoff game. The environment also can help us let down our guard enough to high-fi ve strangers and shed our masks. It can comfort us into feeling normal again. It can inspire us. One Reds fan likened his return to a live game and Great American Ball Park to “a religious experience.” The wait was so rough, he could cite it: “550 days.” He was speaking from a later Reds-Cubs game at Wrigley Field, asked not to be identifi ed because “I’m supposed to be working from home.” “We missed them,” Reds pitcher Amir Garrett said the next day. “The fans are a big part of baseball, even if they're talking mess or just having fun out there.” Reds manager David Bell said the fans seemed more grateful to be out there again. No doubt. A ballpark enlivens you, and you enliven a ballpark. The louder you get, the more you might unnerve or inspire the players. Javier Baez feeds off of your energy. Playing in empty ballparks last season aff ected him. “It was the worst, to be honest,” Baez reportedly said in spring training. “It was worse than facing a pitcher in spring training on the back fi eld. I didn’t like it at all.” The environment matters. NOTE: Bobby Nightengale contributed to this story.
scores in a 42-17 Panthers victory. Hambleton fi nished second in the GCL-South in passing yards (1,915) and touchdowns (19) and led the highestscoring off ense in the conference (22.4 per game). Hambleton was named second-team GCL-South. He will be joined in the QB room by Walnut Hills transfer Jack Reuter, who started under center for the Eagles the last two seasons. The junior announced his move to Elder in January.

Bolden is entering his third season as the Lakota West starting quarterback after leading the Firebirds to the doorstep of the state Final Four. Bolden helped Lakota West sweep GMC foes for a league title last fall, fi nishing with 782 passing yards, 12 touchdowns and three interceptions. He was a dual-threat, running for 408 yards and an additional fi ve scores. Bolden threw four touchdowns in a 33-0 win over Sycamore and led Lakota West over West Clermont for the program's fi rst playoff victory since 2014. Bolden ran for 120 yards and a score in a second-round victory over Lakota East. Bolden was named fi rst-team GMC, honorable mention all-city and honorable mention all-district. Honorable mention: Chase Crone (Jr.), Simon Kenton; Mason Young (Sr.), Harrison; Charlie Noon (Jr.), Highlands; Levi Wiederhold (Sr.), Fayetteville-Perry; Ryan Peter (Sr.), Norwood; Logan Huber (Sr.), Gus Howlett (Sr.), Scott; Roger Bacon; Aidan Jones (Sr.), Little Miami; Jacob Davidson (Sr.), Lloyd; Will Schulok (Sr.), Turpin; Brayden Everitt (Jr.), Lebanon; Drew Warth (Sr.), Cooper; NaDavion Gaither (Sr.), Mt.

six. Rom pitched at Low-A Delmarva in 2019 and went 6-3 over 15 starts while recording a 2.93 ERA. He pitched 95.1 innings, striking out 11.5 batters per nine innings. Rom also recorded a 1.26 WHIP and came out of the bullpen six times. The IronBirds played in Bowling Green, Kentucky, in June against the Hot Rods, the closest they will come to Northern Kentucky this season. Most of the league’s teams are located in North Carolina or the Eastern seaboard. Baioni said his family has made several trips to see him pitch. The current Orioles organization has stressed technology and analytics. “With the new regime it’s kind of all about seeing how your mechanics work and see what can still be adjusted to try to get that last little bit of velocity out of you or make everything with your wind-
up or your stretch way more consistent,” Rom said in the June 11 interview. “He’s embraced their philosophy of analytics,” Baioni said. “That’s right up his alley He’s always been an analytical guy.” The Orioles are one of the worst teams in Major League Baseball this season. Baltimore plays in the brutally competitive American League East with Tampa Bay and Boston having two of the best records in baseball, and Toronto and the Yankees also over .500. Their 27-54 record on July 2 is second-worst to Arizona’s 23-60 mark. Aberdeen has a winning record at 28-22, which has gained the IronBirds additional Orioles fans. “I think we all kind of love that attention. You have to go out and prove yourself every game. People aren’t just going to watch Minor League Baseball games
just to watch it,” Rom said. “They’re going to actually pay attention and look at who these guys are who are coming up. It’s kind of like a pressure on our shoulders we kind of all enjoy. It’s us having to prove ourselves every day.” Baioni said Rom could be able to make a big impact on the Orioles in a few years if their current rebuilding project is a success. “He’s only 21 but Drew doesn’t think that way,” Baioni said. “He’s a competitor and he wants to progress really quickly. This is his third year of being a pro baseball player and you lose sight that he’s 21 years old. He’s really learning how to pitch. His walks are really low and his command is there. He’s always had good stuff . To me, it’s just a matter of time. The Orioles have a lot of young arms and Drew is on a really good path to make it at the right time.”
JIM OWENS FOR THE ENQUIRER
Garrett Yoon, Lawrenceburg (Sr.) The 5-foot-11, 180-pound QB for the Tigers performed well at the Elite 11 regional QB competition this spring. In 13 games for the Tigers in 2020, he threw for 2,252 yards and 27 touchdowns, while running for 1,083 and 13 scores. He was a junior all-state pick by the Indiana Football Coaches Association. Lawrenceburg fi nished 11-2 and reached the regional fi nal in the 3A playoff s for the second straight year, losing to Southridge. Yoon's recruiting interest includes Air Force, Illinois State, and Ball State.
Mark Smith, Cincinnati College Prep (Sr.)
Logan Landers, Dixie Heights (Sr.) The 6-foot quarterback threw for 1,843 yards and 13 touchdowns last year, but he caught fi re in the playoff s with 641 yards and seven TD passes in highscoring 6A playoff wins over Simon Kenton (34-33) and Ryle (41-36). He led Dixie from 23 points down in the fi rstround win over SK and threw for 359 yards and fi ve TDs against Ryle as Dixie won the district and lost to Trinity in the third round. He threw for nearly 1,500 yards and eight TDs as a sophomore. Landers recently received an off er from Mount St. Joseph.

Local Red Cross chapter lands $15,000 Ggrant for displaced NKY families Horizon Community Funds of Northern Kentucky has granted $15,000 to the American Red Cross Greater Cincinnati Tri-State Chapter to support the nonprofi t’s emergency eff orts in Boone, Campbell, and Kenton counties. The nonprofi t has responded to a dramatic increase in home fi res over the past year, due to households staying home much more in response to the Coronavirus pandemic. While the national number of home fi res rose 16 percent over the last year, Northern Kentucky saw a 39 percent increase. Red Cross was able to quickly meet each aff ected family, disbursing nearly $75,000 in their last fi scal year alone to hundreds of Northern Kentuckians. “Horizon Community Funds gladly supports our local Red Cross chapter in their role as a ‘second responder’ in times of crisis for our Northern Kentucky neighbors,” said Horizon Community Funds President Nancy Grayson. “Our Coronavirus Relief Fund is fl exible, and our advisory committees are nimble and responsive, for situations just like this. While we often see the notable needs like food, shelter, education, and healthcare presented for our support, we are grateful to Red Cross for making us aware of this critical issue that requires just as much care.” The $15,000 grant to Red Cross was awarded through Horizon Community Funds’ Horizon NKY Coronavirus Relief Fund, which has carefully deployed more than $800,000 since March 2020 for needs in Northern Kentucky that have arisen or been intensifi ed because of the pandemic. The American Red Cross responds to home fi res in Northern Kentucky almost daily, partnering Northern Kentucky Fire Departments during response. The team at Red Cross will use the funds for preloaded debit cards that off er families fl exible funding to purchase what they need after their belongings have been destroyed or damaged. Additionally, the agency works with these families to off er wraparound services regarding shelter, comfort, mental health, and fi nancial relief. One fi re earlier this year in a Florence apartment building hospitalized eight and displaced more than 70, underscoring the need for emergency assistance that can be quickly and fl exibly provided. Individuals and businesses are encouraged to donate to the Horizon NKY Coronavirus Relief Fund by: h Texting “NKYRELIEF” to 44-321 h Visiting www.horizonfunds.org h Mailing a check made payable to Horizon Community Funds (memo: NKY Coronavirus Relief Fund): 50 E.

Introducing Viva Voices Choral Organization: A brand new choral community for Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky COVINGTON, KY – This fall a brand new choral organization will be launched in the Greater Cincinnati/ Northern Kentucky area. Viva Voices Choral Organization seeks to provide high quality, aff ordable community choral experiences for people of all ages. While the Cincinnati metro area has many wonderful choral organizations, Viva Voices is diff erent in that it strives to provide a choral experience that is aff ordable, multi-generational, diverse, and high in quality. The organization includes choirs for elementary-age children through adulthood, under the umbrella of one organization. The great choral conductor Robert Shaw once said, “...music is not a luxury but a necessity...it is the persistent focus of man’s intelligence, aspiration, and good will.” Viva Voices believes that music has the power to connect people – in its performance, in its messages, and in its ability to inspire and uplift. And by connecting multiple ages, multiple audiences and common themes, Viva Voices brings a unique approach to choral singing in our community. Viva Voices is led by veteran choral conductor and professional singer, Tony Burdette. Viva Voices will launch four brand-new choirs this fall. The Viva Voices Children’s Choir is for children grades 4-7. The Viva Voices Youth Chorus is for students in grades 8-12. The Viva Voices Chorale is for all adults. The Viva Voices Chamber Ensemble is a choir of 16-18 auditioned singers from within the Chorale. All choirs will rehearse at Madison Avenue Christian Church in Covington, with rehearsals beginning in September. Auditions are required for the Children’s Choir, Youth Chorus, and Chamber Ensemble. The Chorale, the adult chorus, does not require an audition but music-reading skills are recommended. Each choir will meet weekly for rehearsals on a 10-week semester schedule ending with a concert. Following the fall term, there will be a winter break and will then resume in mid February for the spring semester. Interested singers, and parents of interested students, are encouraged to visit the Viva Voices website, www.vivavoices.com, to learn more. Specifi c rehearsal dates, concert dates, information about auditions, tuition, and registration can be found there. Viva Voices is also pleased to acknowledge Dins-
Terri King Schoborg enters family court race COVINGTON, KY – Latonia Attorney Terri King Schoborg announced that she has fi led to run for Kenton Family Court Judge, 16th Judicial District, 2nd. Division. Ms. Schoborg is running for the seat currently held by longtime Judge Chris Mehling. In announcing her candidacy, Ms. Schoborg said, “I have the greatest admiration for Judge Mehling and have announced my candidacy today predicated on social media accounts and personal conversations I have had with the Judge that he will be retiring at the end of his term. I do not want anyone to think for a minute I am challenging Judge Mehling, he is a dear friend.” Ms. Schoborg has practiced law since 1985, primarily focusing her practice on family court issues. Ms. Schoborg said, “I have devoted most of my adult life and law practice to working to insure equity under the law for everyday people. I will carry that philosophy with me to the bench and seek to render every decision, on the best interests of the children in my courtroom” In addition to her extensive private legal practice, Schoborg has been appointed by more than ten judges to represent children and indigent parents in thousands of family court cases involving child protective laws. She also served as the Chair of the Kenton County Foster Care Review Board for seven years. Schoborg’s experience reaches beyond the borders of Kenton County as refl ected in her service as a hearing offi cer for the Kentucky Personnel Board and is Chairwoman Emeritus of the Board. Of this experience Ms. Schoborg said, “As a hearing offi cer and as a member of the Kentucky Personnel Board I was called on to make decisions related to the long-term fi nancial stability of those who came before the board and balance their needs against the collective interests of the people of this Commonwealth, those can be gut wrenching decisions. But, I made them.” I enter this race with a strong record of listening to the litigants, studying the evidence and issuing a fair and objective opinion, I will do the same as a Judge in Kenton Family Court.” Schoborg has been married for 30 years to Jeff Schoborg, a CPA, and they are the parents of 3 children. The Schoborgs reside in Covington. Terri King Schoborg
Integrated pest management in the home garden If you’re a gardener, at one time or another, you’ve had pest problems. Insects or animals decide your plants are the best place to dine and reproduce. What’s a gardener to do? Many gardeners are concerned about using pesticides, and rightly so. Some pesticides, if handled improperly, can cause more harm than good on nontarImbus get organisms, which include other plants as well as you, your children, pets, and the environment. You can address these concerns by implementing integrated pest management practices in your garden. Farmers have used integrated pest management successfully for almost 50 years. What works for them can also work for the home gardener. Known as IPM, integrated pest management is a strategy to control pests with minimum impact on other organisms. You know the old saying about an ounce of prevention. Don’t wait for trouble to climb over your garden fence. Check your plants several times a week. Inspect the undersides of leaves and the inner parts of the plant where insects can shelter. Take a fl ashlight into the garden at night and check for nocturnal pests like slugs and moths. If you fi nd something, don’t panic. Decide if you can live with the damage you’re seeing. Sure, you have some holes in your potato leaves, but otherwise, is the plant healthy? Did you just lose a cucumber plant to wilt, and are you afraid of it infecting other plants in the plot? Identify the cause of the problem. Is it a disease or an insect infestation? Don’t assume that because you’re seeing bugs on your plants that they’re the culprits. Benefi cial insects, like ladybugs and lacewings to name a few, might be dining on or reproducing in other, notso-benefi cial insects. Nature can often take care of itself. If you want to give her a little help, pick off the few pests you fi nd before they can cause major damage. There are a lot of resource materials on the internet that can help you identify pests and diseases. If you need more help, Contact your local Campbell County Extension offi ce. Learn all you can about the pest’s life cycle. In doing so, you’ll be able to time your “attack” to when the creature is most susceptible. Sarah Imbus, Campbell County Cooperative Extension Service
