Virtual, remote, A/B, blended learning: How do you successfully nd child care? Challenges mount as back-to-school plans include remote learning Terry DeMio Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

As school offi cials chalk up plans for students to learn off -site, in schools or both this fall, child care providers in Greater Cincinnati are working to create more safe spaces and care scenarios for kids. And they’re doing it under pressure. School plans are iff y, so solutions must be fl uid. Care centers are already working with their own coronavirus pandemic guidelines for young children, often with

crippling costs. “We are in the midst of a tornado, and we’re trying to ﬁ gure out how to educate in the middle of it. The tornado is COVID-19. It is not letting up,” said Jorge Perez, president and CEO of YMCA of Greater Cincinnati. “The systems are in ﬂ ux. We are going to have to be speedy. We are going to need additional funding.” That need was expressed nationwide among child care providers who took part in a survey from the National Association for the Education of Young Children released in July. In Ohio, 48% of child care centers responding said they are certain that, without additional public assistance, they will close permanently. In Kentucky, 69% said the same. Yet more kids – especially school-age children – will need adult supervision while they learn remotely this fall as their parents work. Some will need all-day su-

pervision. Others will need after-school care. School clubs might be out as an option, and gathering at a neighbor’s home could be risky now, too. Cincinnati Public Schools plans to start the school year with a “blended” schedule, alternating students’ days in its buildings with their time learning elsewhere, online. That helps keep kids safe, allowing physical distancing with fewer kids in any building at one time. In Kentucky, Newport Independent Schools has a similar, “hybrid,” learning plan. On Wednesdays, the buildings will close for deep cleaning. Kids will be in school Monday and Tuesday or Thursday and Friday and will learn virtually on Wednesdays. And, as with several area districts in the region, See CHILD CARE, Page 2A

‘A weakness in the system’: Why families worry Judge Gentry’s campaign donations inﬂ uenced their cases Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Wendy Lane spotted a wide campaign banner ﬂ apping in the wind on a fence in her ex-husband’s yard along heavily traﬃ cked Maher Road in Northern Kentucky. Her heart dropped. Her mind raced. The sign was hung in support of Kenton County Family Court Judge Dawn Gentry’s 2018 election. That was just the beginning, Lane said, of her anxieties that her ex-husband got favoritism in their custody case because he and his attorney supported the campaign. In 2019, Lane said she felt her suspicions hadn’t been senseless when she learned the state investigated the judge and that lawmakers launched an impeachment inquiry. Gentry faces 12 misconduct charges that claim she used sex, coercion and cam-

paign connections as tools in her judgeship, according to documents from the Kentucky Judicial Conduct Commission, which punishes sitting judges. Gentry disputed the initial nine charges in December. Recently, the commission released three additional charges and Gentry’s response was not online before publication.

The Enquirer emailed Gentry and her Louisvillebased attorney Todd Lewis for this article. Lewis responded on behalf of Gentry. Lane was among dozens of Northern Kentucky residents who told The Enquirer they feared their custody cases were inﬂ uenced by campaign donations. The Enquirer spoke to two types of concerned parents. h One group didn’t like that their children’s courtappointed attorney who got paid from the state – known as a guardian ad litem – was also one of Gentry’s top campaign donors. h The second group worried that their ex-spouses hired attorneys who donated to Gentry’s campaign and got favoritism in the courtroom as a result. Custody cases are complicated. The Enquirer couldn’t verify an instance of clear favoritism in its review of the court cases. Lane, for example, saw her exhusband’s child support payments reduced by 75%. But that could have been for a variety of reasons. “When you see all the other attorneys on there donating $25 or $50, it is a big deal in small-town Kentucky,” said Lane, of Independence.

Child Care Continued from Page 1A

parents may opt to have their children do all distance learning instead of ever entering a school building this year. The intricate child care needs come after child care centers cut enrollment to meet social distancing requirements. Some relief is coming from that. On July 28, Gov. Mike DeWine said that, beginning Aug. 9, child care providers in Ohio can return to their normal class sizes and staﬃ ng ratios. The child care providers, DeWine said, will have a choice. They can maintain their lower capacity and receive a government subsidy or they can go back to normal and not receive one. Even so, the new demands for child care come as providers face new costs of personal protection equipment, thermometers, cleaning products, cleaners’ hours and supplies for each child that once were shared. And more.

Child advocates build care options The region’s YMCA and Learning Grove centers, which off er child care through the region, and other care providers have been meeting for weeks to hammer out systems that cover any scenario of need. Here are a few options that will be in play when school starts: i Stay after school: Some kids will be kept in their schools, limiting transportation, and may be under the eyes of paraprofessionals brought to their classroom. i Daylong supervision: Some kids who are learning remotely will get supervision at child care centers, with an academic morning (as they work online) and an enrichment-oriented afternoon. i Nontraditional care centers: Some libraries, churches and museums likely will off er space for child care. i Outside organizations: Some kids from Cincinnati Public Schools (or other surrounding districts) may spend time with the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Cincinnati or in Cincinnati Recreation Center programs. Trish Kitchell, YMCA of Greater Cincinnati’s vice president of youth development, said that community-based organizations and schools have stepped forward to help fi nd solutions. “The challenging puzzle to fi gure out is when school districts have students

coming for some days but not all days of the week,” said Shannon Starkey-Taylor, CEO of Learning Grove child care centers.

Costs spiral for child care centers The costs of pandemic care already have piled up on child care centers. They worry about their futures even as they make plans for this fall. The National Association for the Education of Young Children’s survey of child care providers’ report, among other fi ndings, shows: i In Ohio, 93% of child care centers responding said they’re paying more for cleaning supplies; 66% for staff ; and 84% for personal protective equipment. i Also in Ohio, 65% of programs have had furloughs, pay cuts, or layoff s. i In Kentucky, 98% are paying more for cleaning supplies; 86% for staff ; and 93% for personal protective equipment. i And in Kentucky, 79% have engaged in furlough, pay cuts, or layoff s. New care sites may be added, to help accommodate greater space needs for kids this fall. But it might not be an easy addition to the equation. It can take 60 to 90 days to get the pandemic care license, said Kitchell. To try to address the issue, YMCA and other child advocates are working at the state level with a governor’s task force to fast-track such licenses.

Parents: Look for child care now The child advocates say that now is the time for parents to start ﬁ guring out a child-care strategy – even if their kids’ school district hasn’t ﬁ nalized back-toschool plans. “Parents need to be more active than they have been,” Perez said.

Providers suggest reaching out to previous caregivers or forming a group with other parents on social media to share ideas for school-year child care. Newport Independent Schools Superintendent Tony Watts agreed: “If you have had some reliable child care services in the past, contact them. Make sure that they’re serving the kids.” He said Newport school oﬃ cials will do whatever is possible to help with care, but the district just ﬁ nished its academic plan last week and hadn’t yet broached out-of-school child care issues.

Employers encouraged to work with parents The care providers recommend, too, that parents approach their employers about fl exibility in scheduling in case they need to stay home to care for school-aged or younger children. It’s a familiar request, which employers faced in March when state governors shut down schools to try to dampen COVID-19 outbreaks. The Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce found, through a survey in May, that 30% of its members said child care was a barrier to having employees return to work. “What schools are planning to do has a tremendous impact on employees and employers,” chamber President Brent Cooper said. “Our advice to the employers has been to ask them to be as fl exible as possible and to continue to work with their employees who are parents.” The Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber of Commerce’s Workforce Innovation Center encourages employers to listen to employee needs and concerns, said Audrey Treasure, its vice president and executive director, “and to be fl ex-

ible and creative in considering new policies” that would help employees work while caring for families.” Treasure also reminded that the Families First Coronavirus Response Act: Employee Paid Leave Rights expanded leave for families through December 2020. The act allows up to an additional 10 weeks of paid expanded family and medical leave at two-thirds the employee’s regular pay rate those whose care provider or school is closed because of COVID-19. The rule applies to workers who’ve been employed at least 30 calendar days. Details are on the U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division’s website. Child care leaders in the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area said that despite all of the complications of getting kids’ care covered this fall, they remain confi dent they’ll do it – with community-wide help. “The reality is, we have dealt with diffi cult times in Cincinnati before, and we’ll fi gure it out,” Perez said. “But we can’t underestimate the challenge we have in front of us.” Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – July 29.

CAMPBELL RECORDER

Gentry Continued from Page 1A

An Enquirer analysis revealed Gentry’s top campaign donors are the attorneys she handpicked to sit on a panel designed to represent children. Other attorneys have been kicked off or resigned from the panel after they felt the judge retaliated against them for not doing what she said. This isn’t the fi rst time the commission investigated campaign donations connected to this type of panel in Kentucky. Thirty years ago, the commission censured a Jefferson County Judge for soliciting donations from his own panel, according to records from the Judicial Conduct Commission. Panel members in other Northern Kentucky family courts did not make direct high-dollar donations, according to an Enquirer review. Attorneys on Gentry’s panel made between $40,000 and $100,000 a year, according to records from the Kentucky Finance and Administration Cabinet obtained through a Kentucky Open Records Act request. Northern Kentucky families were bothered by the appearance of a pay-to-play workfl ow in Gentry’s court. Lewis, Gentry’s attorney, said Gentry only received donations because “people thought she would be a good judge, period.” Gentry’s former boss Holly Daugherty, who sits on one of Gentry’s judge-appointed panels, told The Enquirer that “no judge is going to risk their job for that.” There have been attempts on the local and state level to avoid this exact perception. Locally, one judge had his panel members sign a contract that prohibited them from donating to judicial campaigns. And, a Northern Kentucky lawmaker has tried to pass legislation that would take the judge out of the panel member selection process. “This case exposed a weakness in the system we shouldn’t ignore,” said Northern Kentucky Republican Senator Chris McDaniel, who represents parts of Kenton County.

Families fret Some families now doubt they had a fair process because of the charges Gentry faces. They heard about how Gentry removed an attorney with low campaign donations from the panel and gave that spot to an attorney who was a top campaign donor . Recently, the commission claimed Gentry was wrong to not disclose a friendship with an attorney who had four cases in front of the judge. Families in Northern Kentucky pondered if any other donations or relationships impacted their case. Retired Boone and Gallatin Counties Circuit Court Judge Stan Billingsley, of Carroll County, told The Enquirer that judges have the right to receive donations from anyone.

Wendy Lane of Independence, Kentucky, poses for a portrait at Memorial Park on Thursday, July 16 2020. GRACE PRITCHETT/ENQUIRER

But, he added that the judge should “stay out of (a) case),” when a donor is involved. “The public is entitled to have some questions answered if they raised them,” he said. Tim Gilkison, 49, is concerned his ex-wife got an advantage in their custody case because her attorney, Alex Edmondson, was a top campaign donor. Edmondson donated $2,000 to the campaign and told the Judicial Conduct Commission that Gentry shouldn’t be suspended at her January temporary removal hearing. Edmondson did not respond to The Enquirer’s requests for comment, when this article was originally published. Another woman told The Enquirer she found out her ex had hired a new attorney just minutes before a custody hearing in front of Gentry. The new attorney was Gentry’s old boss, Daugherty. The woman didn’t want to go in, was ordered to not let her child be alone with her boyfriend and then ran out of time to hire an appeal attorney she could aﬀ ord to challenge Gentry’s decision. The woman did not want her name used because she is under an order not to discuss the case on social media and worried that talking to The Enquirer

would violate that. Daugherty told The Enquirer that Gentry would never show her favoritism. Daugherty waited until Gentry was a year into her judgeship to practice in front of her because of an unwritten rule that former Family Court Judge Lisa Bushelman and current Judge Christopher Mehling created about former coworkers practicing in family court. She also said her position on one of Gentry’s panels had nothing to do with her $1,600 contribution to the campaign. “I think people should know that just because someone is on the panel, or someone gave money to a campaign, it’s not going to gain them any favor in practicing law in front of that candidate,” Daugherty said.

Fixing exposed ‘weakness’ in Kentucky Family Court The commission that investigated Gentry was aware of the donations her panel members made to her campaign, according to court documents. And, it has See GENTRY, Page 5A

Tim Gilkison, 49, worries that his custody hearing in front of Judge Dawn Gentry was influenced by the donation his ex-wife's attorney gave to Gentry in 2018 during her re-election campaign. Her attorney was one of Gentry's top donors and testiﬁ ed on the judge's behalf before the judge was suspended from the bench in January. GRACE PRITCHETT/ENQUIRER

Gentry Continued from Page 4A

looked into this type of campaign connection in the past. In 1990, the commission censured former Jeff erson County Judge Thomas McDonald, according to documents from the Judicial Conduct Commission. He personally asked attorneys for donations to his Court of Appeals campaign who had been appointed to represent children in his court. He returned the donations and terminated the campaign. Gentry’s panel attorneys – except one – donated at least $1,000 to her campaign. Gentry’s panel member donations made up about 25% percent of her cash donations, excluding Gentry’s own contribution, according to her campaign fi nance report. Gentry has maintained that she didn’t ask her attorneys to donate to the campaign. But, the commission obtained an email Gentry sent to her panel members that said they either “volunteered and or have been voluntold” that it was time to start knocking on doors for her campaign. When the commission asked Gentry about the email during her suspension hearing in January, Gentry said she was “trying to make light of it, and it was kind of a joke and that I wanted your help.” During that hearing, where Gentry was suspended with pay, the commission’s attorneys brought up a contract that would have blocked the donations. That contract was part of the Kenton County Family Court local rules, which the Kentucky Supreme Court then signs off on. If someone wanted to be on one of the judge’s panels dedicated to representing children, they had to sign the contract which, among other things, prohibited panel members from donating to family court judicial campaigns. Gentry didn’t have her panel members sign the contract. “Judge Gentry has a fundamental belief that a judge does not have the ability nor is she permitted ethically to enter into a contract with attorneys on behalf of the state,” Gentry’s attorney Lewis told The Enquirer in an emailed state-

ment. The other Kenton County Family Court Judge Christopher Mehling had his panel attorneys sign the contract, Lewis said. Lewis pointed out that Mehling did accept donations from his panel member’s spouses and family members during his 2014 reelection campaign. That’s confi rmed by Mehling’s campaign fi nance report. Mehling declined to comment on his campaign fi nances. In February, Mehling established temporary local rules that put the campaign contribution prohibition directly in the rules instead of the contract that Gentry didn’t use. “Each attorney on the rosters shall be prohibited from making any campaign contribution to any sitting Kenton County Family Court Judge or any candidate for Kenton Family Court Judge,” the rule read. Kentucky Supreme Court Chief Justice John Minton Jr. signed off on the rule, according to court documents. The local rule is fl imsy, Northern Kentucky lawmaker Senator Chris McDaniel pointed out. “You can’t ignore apparent weaknesses,” McDaniel told The Enquirer. McDaniel has submitted bills that would standardize each family court panel in Kentucky. Among other adjustments, his proposed regulations would take the judge out of the process of selecting panel members, McDaniel told The Enquirer. The bills haven’t been successful, he said, because it didn’t get the necessary hearings and details are still being worked out. McDaniel said he wants to see legislation that would ensure “more accountability and oversight” in the family court crevasse in Kentucky’s court system.

‘Mr. Bumpass has always been our prime suspect’ Cameron Knight, Terry DeMio and Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A man who police have long believed was the last person to see Florence teen Paige Johnson alive has been charged in connection with her death and disappearance in 2010, offi cials announced July 28. Jacob T. Bumpass was taken into custody just around 1 p.m. July 28, prosecutors said. Police have long suspected that Bumpass was the last person to have contact with the 17-year-old. He has been indicted in Clermont County on gross abuse of a corpse and Paige tampering with evidence charges. Offi cials said the case is still under investigation and other charges could be added. Donna Johnson, Paige’s mom said she was fi lled with joy when she heard Bumpass had been arrested. She said she went to his doors in the days following her daughter’s disappearance. “I knew from that moment,” Johnson said. “The guilt on his face...” She said today is the fi rst day she’s been happy since Paige vanished. “Every day for the past 10 years I’ve been sad,“ Johnson said. “I was afraid I would end up dying without knowing where my child was... He put us through so much pain.” She called Bumpass arrogant and while she’s satisfi ed that he’s been arrested, she hopes he faces stiff er charges. “We know in our hearts he caused harm to her,” she said. “Now everyone knows what I’ve known all along.” Bumpass was arrested by Colerain Township offi cers July 28 during a traffi c stop without incident. He was scheduled to be taken to the Clermont County jail and then to court for a bond hearing July 29. Sanders said the cause and manner of Paige’s death has not been determined. “(Bumpass) put this family through so much trauma and so much agony,” Sanders said. “Compared to the agony that Paige’s family has been put through, these are relatively minor charges.” Clermont County prosecutors said they are working to return Paige’s remains to her family as quickly as possible. The news of the arrest brought “lots of tears of joy” to Paige’s family, said her older sister, Brittany Haywood. But it was not a surprise to Haywood: “I have known from the beginning who the guilty party was in my sister’s disappearance,” she said minutes after the commonwealth’s attorney made the arrest public. “Right now I am in a complete state of euphoria knowing that

Jacob Bumpass has been arrested and will ﬁ nally have to answer for his actions after remaining silent for nearly 10 years.” She said years ago she ran into Bumpass in a public place and yelled some “choice words” at him. “You will pay for this,” she recalled telling him. She said he just ran away from her. Bumpass was 22 when Paige vanished and was questioned by police at the time. He was described as one of Paige’s acquaintances, who had picked her up at her mother’s Florence home the evening of Sept. 22. He told investigators he dropped oﬀ Paige at about 1 a.m. the next morning at 15th Street and Scott Boulevard in Covington. But the evidence didn’t show that. Police said phone records placed Bumpass near Paige’s Florence home at that time. More phone records led investigators with cadaver dogs to the 10,000-acre East Fork State Park in Cler-

mont County, where they searched for Paige. Police said Bumpass had sent a text message after 4 a.m. on Sept. 23 that pinged on a cell phone tower near the park. But those initial searches found nothing. After countless false leads, Paige’s body was discovered this March about a mile and half away from the cell phone tower that led police to Clermont County in the fi rst place. Following Paige’s disappearance, Bumpass was arrested in November 2010 on a parole violation for a theft conviction for having liquor in his home, but he was released from a Kentucky prison in 2012. He has not spoken with police about the missing persons case since early in the investigation. The story of her disappearance and the discovery of her remains captured news organizations’ headlines in the United States and even overseas. None of it led to Paige or to answers about what happened to her. She would be 27 now if she were still alive. Paige was the mother of her then 2-year-old daughter, Makenzie, when she disappeared. The girl moved in with her father’s family and is now approaching her teens. The investigation was frustrating. Sanders said potential witnesses have refused to cooperate, lied, told half stories and made false claims. Sanders said one false lead took investigators to Knox County where they “dug a hole the size of an Olympic-sized swimming pool” searching for remains. About fi ve years ago, Haywood said that Paige didn’t deserve to die. “Jacob Bumpass and one of his close friends know exactly what happened to her yet refuse to come forward,” Haywood told The Enquirer. “I know there are other people who know what happened to my sister that night... How they sleep at night is baffl ing to me.”

Bumpass pleads not guilty of charges Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The man charged in connection with the decadeold disappearance and death of Florence teen Paige Johnson said he was not guilty in court July 29. Jacob Bumpass, 32, was arrested July 28 and charged with gross abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence. Clermont County Common Pleas Judge Anthony Brock set a $50,000 bond for Bumpass July 29. Paige was 17 when she went missing in 2010. Her remains were discovered in rural Clermont County this March. Since early in the investigation, police have said Bumpass, then 22, was the last person to have seen Paige alive. In court, Bumpass’s lawyer Louis Sirkin argued for

a reasonable bond saying his client had known the police suspected his involvement for nearly 10 years, and yet, he had never fl ed the area. Sirkin said Bumpass is gainfully employed and lives in Finneytown in his mother’s Bumpass. home. He also asked if that home could be put up to fulfi ll at least a portion of the bond amount. Sirkin is a well-known Cincinnati lawyer. His most high-profi le cases have involved First Amendment issues. He has represented Larry Flynt and the director of the Contemporary Arts Center after charges stemmed from the Mapplethorpe exhibit. Bumpass’s case has been assigned to Judge Jerry McBride. A pretrial hearing has been setfor Aug. 10.

Hummus is ‘unbelievably easy to make at home’ Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

When we were on vacation with my family, hummus was one of the snacks that was brought out when we just wanted a little something to nosh on before

dinner. Hummus is not the most inexpensive deli item, but it is unbelievably easy to make at home. And roasted red pepper hummus? Got you covered there, too. Just in case you have roasted red pepper left over, stir a bit into another classic dip: pimento cheese. OK, so my ﬁ rst urge is to spell it “pimiento” – that’s how it used to be spelled, really. But then again, probably no one but me remembers that...

Pimento cheese Begs to be dipped into with a saltine cracker, or smeared on a toasted baguette. The only thing here is don’t use pre-grated cheese if you want the real deal. There may be additives in the pre-grated cheese to keep it from sticking together. Adapted slightly from a New York Times recipe. My version adds cayenne and roasted red pepper. Easily doubled. Ingredients 8 oz. extra sharp cheddar, shredded ﬁ ne or grated ⁄ 4 cup softened regular cream cheese, cut up

3 tablespoons real mayonnaise or to taste Salt and pepper

Rita’s hummus

Cayenne pepper to taste (optional)

It’s hard to give an exact recipe so I’ll do my best. Recipe is easily doubled.

Roasted red pepper, diced ﬁ ne, to taste (optional) Instructions

Ingredients

Put everything in the food processor and blend well.

1 can, 15 oz, chick peas (garbanzo/ceci beans), drained

Tip: Roast bell peppers, then freeze. Remove stem and cut in half from top to bottom.

1 nice clove garlic, minced or to taste

Smoosh both halves down, skin side up with your hand to flatten. Drizzle with olive oil. Broil skin side up until blistered. Cool and remove as much char as you can. Or grill. Or roast in 450 degree oven.

⁄ 4 cup lemon juice

3-4 tablespoons Tahini or more to taste (Tahini, or sesame seed paste, is ground sesame seeds)

Freeze up to 6 months. (I usually drizzle a little more olive oil on before freezing).

1 teaspoon cumin ⁄ 4 cup plain Greek strained yogurt

2 tablespoons olive oil, or to taste - I add more Salt and cayenne pepper to taste Instructions Blend everything either in food processor or by hand. Serve with pita wedges, a mound of olives, some crisp vegetables.

Make a sandwich Now, if you’d like to make the best veggie wrap or pita sandwich in the world, here’s how to do it: Spread hummus on inside halves of pita or on flour tortilla. Add ﬁ nely diced veggies: maybe

Hummus with pita. RITA HEIKENFELD/FOR THE ENQUIRER

cucumber, carrots, olives, avocado, jalapeno, sprouts, pickles, tomatoes, red onion, lettuce, radishes – whatever. Roasted red pepper hummus So easy - just stir in as much red roasted bell pepper, diced ﬁ ne, as you like.

Good for you Chick peas contain ﬁ ber, along with iron and calcium. Greek yogurt contains probiotics, good for gut health. Cumin and cayenne contain anti-oxidants.

Olivia Crowl, a Cambell County senior, has started varsity since her freshman year and has been named to 2019 KHSAA All-Region team. JAMES WEBER/THE ENQUIRER

KHSAA Region 10 Coaches Association First Team, 10th Region All-Tournament team and 37th District All-Tournament team. Has started since her freshman year and has two state tournament runs under her belt (2018, 2019). Taylor Preston, junior, St. Henry Preston is a consistent player for the Crusaders. The junior was named to

Following a decision to delay the 2020 high school football season by the Kentucky High School Athletic Association, local football teams have been scrambling to adjust their schedules. The KHSAA decision wiped out the fi rst three Fridays of the 2020 season: Aug. 21, Aug. 28 and Sept. 4, but added one at the end, Nov. 6. The playoff s were pushed back one week, to Nov. 13, with the state championships also pushed back one week to the weekend of Dec. 11. Instead of 10 regular-season games, Northern Kentucky teams are allowed up to nine without an open week if they choose. The changes hit hardest in Independence, where Simon Kenton High School immediately had four games wiped off its schedule. SK was set to play Edgewood and Ross, who are both in Butler County, Ohio. But the KHSAA ruled that Kentucky teams could only play other instate schools or ones that are in counties that border Kentucky, which Butler doesn’t. SK also had early-season games against Cincinnati schools Anderson and Oak Hills, which couldn’t be rescheduled because Cincinnati schools don’t have bye weeks. Fortunately for the Pioneers, their schedule is back up to seven games as of Thursday, July 30. SK got one game back, agreeing to host Covington Catholic Oct. 30. The perennial powerhouses haven't met since 2004. SK will play at Bryan Station in Lexington Nov. 6 to close the regular season. SK’s original season opener Aug. 21 at Lafayette is still up in the air. SK and Lafayette currently don’t have the same open week. Covington Catholic is 44-1 in the past three seasons, with two 5A state championships. The Colonels were 101-34 in the 2010s with eight winning seasons, and they have reached the third round of the playoff s for nine straight years. SK has reached the third round of the playoff s in 11 of the past 12 seasons and was 97-32 in the 2010s, with seven seasons of 10 wins or more. Ryle moved games against county rivals Conner and Cooper to the fi nal two weeks of the regular season, and

Northern Kentucky volleyball: Top 10 players to watch this fall Sierra Newton Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Now that the Kentucky High School Athletic Association decided volleyball can begin to practice Aug. 24, the next question to be answered is, "who are the players to watch?" The following selections were made based on last year's honors from the state coaches association and Northern Kentucky Coaches Association, input from coaches and stat reports.

Top 10 players to watch Marie Kiefer, senior, Bishop Brossart - The middle hitter for Bishop Brossart had 463 kills, 94 blocks, 209 digs and 46 aces in 2019. Kiefer was named ﬁ rst-team for the 10th Region coaches association. Olivia Crowl, senior, Campbell County - Crowl recorded 666 kills and 376 blocks in 2019. The middle hitter and blocker has started varsity since her freshman year and has been named to 2019 KHSAA All-Region team, KHSAA Region 10 Coaches Association First Team and 2019 KY Volleyball Coaches Association Second-Team All-State, in addition to being named 2019 KY Volleyball Coaches Association Region 10 Player of Year.

NAIA moves fall championships to spring James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Council of Presidents (COP) voted on July 31 to postpone the fall national football championship to spring 2021. This decision came after the COP voted to postpone championships in all other fall sports until spring. This decision still allows NAIA conferences to compete in the fall and winter, if they so choose. That includes all sports at Thomas More University. “The decision regarding the football

championship required additional attention since the sport often operates outside of the regular conference structure,” said Dr. Arvid Johnson, COP Chair and University of St. Francis President. “The extra time allotted was to ensure that the COP representatives had adequate opportunity to gain feedback from their conference colleagues.” The COP noted that the decision to move the football championship from the fall to spring is more inclusive for all NAIA member institutions, especially those schools that are restricted by local or state mandates from holding athletics competitions this fall.

“Moving the football championship to the spring was the right thing to do for the well-being of our student-athletes,” said NAIA President and CEO Jim Carr. “The decision also provides additional ﬂ exibility for our conferences and institutions to account for regional diﬀ erences and plan their regular season accordingly.” Thomas More University is entering its second school year in the NAIA after a long stay in NCAA Division III. TMU participates in football as well as soccer, cross country, volleyball and golf. TMU is in the Mid-South Conference, which has most of its members in Ken-

tucky and Tennessee. Thomas More has a large percentage of local products on its rosters. In a statement, TMU, in part, said “Thomas More will work with the MidSouth Conference to give Thomas More student-athletes as much safe competition that is allowed, while following NAIA, CDC, state and local government guidelines.” Thomas More will announce more details. Athletic director Terry Connor added on Twitter: "More details to come on what type of competitions we will play this fall! Can’t wait to see our student athletes reporting soon!!!!"

foundation plants around a house. Arborvitae’s tall columnar shape work well in groupings that act as screens, and mugo pines are used for their low, spreading habit. Though diﬀ erent in size and texture, all three conifers can exhibit the same types of problems. If you notice some needles browning or areas of dieback on the evergreens in your yard, there are a number of things that might be causing it. First, it is natural for older needles on evergreens to turn brown and drop oﬀ , especially in the fall. But if browning persists, the trouble might come from disease or insect pests. Adverse growing conditions also could be to blame. This year’s late freezes hit many evergreens just as they were putting out

new spring growth. The unseasonably cold temperatures resulted in an array of dead needles at the tips of the branches. Do not worry. The plants will bounce back, and no permanent damage was done in most cases. Root damage due to “wet feet” or root rot can both cause needle dieback. Yew, arborvitae and mugo do not like excessive moisture in the ground. Heavy clay soils, sites near downspouts, or overwatering can all lead to unhealthy plants. Before you plant, amend clay soils with organic material to help the soil drain better. If the shrubs are already established and moving them is not an option, consider installing French drains or rerouting downspouts to avoid water draining directly into the plant’s root

zone. Planting on a high spot is preferable to placing them in a low-lying site. If you are seeing dieback on one or more branches, check for physical wounds such as torn bark, partially broken branches or nursery tags that were not removed and might be girdling the branches. Also look for dead, sunken areas on twigs and branches that show yellowing and dieback. Several fungi can cause cankers that girdle branches. In all these instances, prune oﬀ dead or damaged branches. Some evergreens will show damage from spider mites in the summer, though the mites are most active in the cooler spring and fall months.

Local student wins religious education scholarship COLD SPRING, Kentucky – Addison Geiman, a student at St. Joseph School in Cold Spring, has been named a recipient of the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) award from Catholic Order of Foresters (COF), a fraternal beneﬁ t life insurance society based in Naperville, Illinois.

Annually, COF gives away 125 $250 tuition assistance awards to members attending a Catholic kindergarten, elementary or high school. Student members may apply once every year they are enrolled in a Catholic school, no matter if they won or lost the previous year. Eligibility to apply is immediate upon becoming a member.

COMMUNITY NEWS nati Bell and The RC Durr Foundation. United Way and The Durr Foundation each pitched in $5,000 to serve the Grant County households. This partnership expands on a pilot project serving school districts in Boone County, Kenton County, Campbell County, Covington Independent Public Schools, Erlanger-Elsmere Independent, Newport Independent, Dayton Independent, Ludlow Independent, Southgate Independent and Bellevue Independent. The initial pilot aims to serve 884 homes and was funded by Greater Cincinnati Foundation and Horizon Community Funds. United Way is raising additional funding to eventually serve more than 1,000 Northern Kentucky homes under the pilot. The partnership expanding the project into Grant County adds to that. “Our pilot project is on pace to help more than 1,000 families and we still weren’t meeting the great need,” said Moira Weir, president and CEO of United Way of Greater Cincinnati. “We were fortunate to bring everyone together for this expansion. Digital inequity creates unequal access to information, technology and opportunities to learn, which further widens the well-documented achievement gap. We saw this ampliﬁ ed with remote learning under COVID-19.” Amanda Greenwell, director of United Way’s Northern Kentucky Area Center, said there is still an opportunity to sponsor more homes in need. Organizations and individuals can support Northern Kentucky fundraising eﬀ orts by texting “NKYWIFI” to 71777. A $78 donation will connect a household for six months of service at $12.99 a month. “School districts have been eager to enroll in the initiative and ensure their students have access to technology because they know how important this is for both academics and staying connected during COVID-19,” she said. “It plays a part in mental health.”

mites feed on the chlorophyll in the needles, causing yellow spots. Shake a branch over a light-colored piece of paper. They are so small, they will appear as tiny, moving dark fl ecks on the paper. If you see more than 10 mites, you should treat the shrub with a miticide, available at most home-and-garden stores. Bagworms may also infest evergreens. These caterpillars attach bits of plant material to a cocoon covering their body. When they are small, they move about the tree and feed in late spring and early summer. This is the time they are susceptible to insecticide sprays. Once the bagworms are stationary and the caterpillars pupate in late summer, they no longer feed, and insecticides are ineff ective. However, female bagworms will lay several hundred eggs in each bag, so it is a good idea to remove and destroy bags in fall and winter. For more information about evergreen care, check out extension publication ID-52, What’s Wrong with My Taxus, available online at http:// www2.ca.uky.edu/agcomm/pubs/ID/ID52/ ID52.pdf, or contact the Campbell County Extension Service offi ce of the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service.

Jean H. Mize of The R.C. Durr Foundation agreed. “The R. C. Durr Foundation is delighted to work with our friends at United Way of Greater Cincinnati to help provide internet service to the school families in Grant County during the COVID-19 pandemic to keep families healthy and children learning,” she said. “R. C. Durr grew up in southern Kenton County next to Grant County and I think the ‘can do’ nature of people in that area will see them through this diffi cult time with a little bit of help.” Matt Morgan, superintendent of Grant County Schools, said “I am grateful for the partnership with Cincinnati Bell, the United Way, and the RC Durr foundation and for their contribution to the students of Grant County. This service will provide opportunities for our students that they would not have had without this generous donation. As a district, we will continue to work with our community partners to fi nd ways to remove any barriers our students may face as they return to us for the 2020-2021 school year.” Cincinnati Bell sees digital equity as a priority and has eagerly joined partnerships on both sides of the river, labeling the eff ort “Connect Our Students.” “It is critical that all students in Northern Kentucky have access to education – which means that all students must also have access to the internet to participate in remote learning,” said Leigh Fox, president and CEO of Cincinnati Bell. “We are proud to be part of the ‘Connect Our Students’ program and to be working with so many great organizations and individuals on this effort.” For more than 100 years, United Way of Greater Cincinnati has developed, supported and strengthened social systems that improve lives in Greater Cincinnati communities. UWGC provides relief for families in crisis, supports families as they establish stronger foundations, and revitalizes systems of support for long-term economic resiliency. United Way is uniquely positioned to bring together and harness the collective power of social service agencies, governments, businesses, donors and more to tackle ingrained, persistent, community-wide problems in a coordinated, comprehensive way that maximizes donor dollars. The generosity of our community, combined with our more than 100 years of experience bringing people together, enables us to support families in a 10-county area across Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.

Cool oﬀ with this summer lentil salad Luann Gibbs

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

When it feels like an oven outside, the last thing we want to do is turn on the oven in the kitchen. This delicious summer salad can be prepared in under 30 minutes using only the stovetop and your cutting board. It's sure to cool you oﬀ and is an excellent, healthy choice for picnics and potlucks – packing 7 grams of protein per serving and only 123 calories. Added bonus: It's vegan!

A reminder about French lentils: French lentils (sometimes also referred to as Puy lentils) are diﬀ erent from green or brown lentils. They are smaller in size and have a deep greenish-blue color and a rich, peppery ﬂ avor. Unlike regular lentils, which tend to get mushy, the meaty texture of French lentils allows them to hold their shape while cooking. There's also no need to pre-soak, making them a valuable time saver. Look for French lentils at natural food stores or grocers offering bulk dried beans, like Madison's and Dean's at Findlay Market.

Summer Lentil Salad 1 cup French lentils 1 quart cold water 1 teaspoon salt 1 pint cherry tomatoes 1 English cucumber, unpeeled 1 orange or yellow bell pepper 1/2 small onion (optional)

Vinaigrette 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 2 cloves garlic, minced ground black pepper and salt to taste

Instructions: 1. Add lentils to a large pot, cover with water and add salt. Bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat, partially cover pot and simmer until lentils are slightly ﬁ rm but tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. 2. While lentils are cooking, quarter tomatoes, dice cucumber, bell pepper and onion and place in a large bowl. 3. In a small bowl, whisk together vinaigrette ingredients. 4. Add cooled lentils to diced vegetables and mix thoroughly. Drizzle with vinaigrette, stir and refrigerate about four hours. Serves 8 NOTE: I use English cucumbers in this recipe but cucumbers from the garden will also work. Just be sure to deseed them ﬁ rst.

Summer Lentil Salad delights with the bounty of the garden and the meaty texture of French lentils. LUANN GIBBS/CINCINNATI ENQUIRER

Readers choose Spring Superlative winners Melanie Laughman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

In an attempt to do something special for spring senior athletes, their families and fans, the Cincinnati Enquirer combined the concepts of athlete of the week voting with senior superlatives for a 2020 Spring Sports Senior Superlative ballot. The readers’ voices have now been heard, after more than a week of voting. Here are the winners: Sweetest swing, baseball:Alex Mills, Hamilton – Mills had a .431 batting average in 2019, just seven points behind the GMC’s batting champion. With varsity experience in all three of his seasons, Mills hit over .300 each year. Best power hitter, baseball:Ty Conner, Cooper – Conner led the team in home runs and 2019 and became the fi rst player in school history to hit multiple home runs in the fall intrasquad games. Best pitcher, baseball:Nathan Haberthier, Lakota East - The senior was 7-1 with a 1.10 ERA and 72 strikeouts in 61 innings for the Thunderhawks in 2019. He will play at Ohio State. Best reliever, baseball: Mychal Grogan, Elder – Grogan amassed a Greater Catholic League-best six saves in 14 games pitched. Grogan struck out 18 batters and had a 1.59 ERA. Sweetest swing, softball: Abby Niehaus, Lakota East – Niehaus hit .473 and drove in 42 runs for the state runner-up Thunderhawks. Best power hitter, softball:Arrington Walker, Roger Bacon - Walker hit .576 blasting 12 home runs with 52 RBI. She will play for Northern Kentucky University. Best softball pitcher:Kayla Roddy, Oak Hills – Roddy was First Team All-GMC after pitching 149 innings and striking out 118 batters. Most clutch:Zach Ungermann, Ross – Ungermann would have been a starter after batting .308 in 2019, including a walk-off single in the district championship game. Most underrated: Savannah Ross, Harrison softball – Ross hit .402 in 2019 and scored 25 runs in 26 games. A solid fi elding shortstop, Ross lost out on valuable recruitment with the lost senior season.

Jackson Geiser missed his senior year playing for Elder lacrosse. He was on pace to break the face-off record. THANKS TO TODD GEISER

Most likely to make the Olympic track and fi eld team: Serena Clark, Lakota East - Clark was on the 2019 state champion Lakota East squad and was a state champion in the 200 meters, 4x100 relay and state runner-up in the 100-meter race as a junior. Most likely to win the Flying Pig:Peyton Fairchild, Conner – Fairchild led Conner to a regional title and a third-place fi nish at the 3A state meet. Fairchild fi nished individually in 19th place and fi nished 10th in the state in last season’s track state meet. Lacrosse face-off king:Jackson Geiser, Elder –

Geiser transferred his youth wrestling skills and techniques to his face-off s. According to Elder coach Tim Gruber: ”Last spring as a junior, he was a kid we could rely on to get a possession when we needed it. This spring, he would have been an absolute weapon.” Lacrosse face-off queen:Kaitlynn Hilsinger, St. Ursula – Hilsinger had the fourth-most draw wins in the GGCL with 63, including 20 controls in league games. Most heart and hustle: Michael Bartholomew, Elder lacrosse – Bartholomew was a unanimous choice for team captain that was endorsed by the school Athletic Director and strength coach. Bartholomew started a tradition that the entire team follows of running following win/lose competitions whether his team was victorious or not. Best tennis serve: Yamaan, Ahmad and Jon-Michael Schulte, Villa Madonna – As juniors, the doubles team advanced to the KHSAA tournament, advancing to the round of 16. Most competitive: Luke Stevenson, Campbell County - Luke is a senior corner infi elder and pitcher. Luke fi nished his junior year on a very strong page going 3-0 in his fi nal 3 starts. He tossed a no-hitter against Nicholas County, threw 6 scoreless innings against Newport Central Catholic only allowing 1 hit, and then wrapped his season with a complete game in the fi rst round of the regional against Harrison County. Luke worked very hard over the off season and became the true leader of the team. Most feared volleyball spike:Bailey Dugan, Elder – The second-year varsity player has developed and improved each time he’s given a chance and was looking to be a big part of the Elder off ense. He’s a middle attacker who uses his agility to fi nd holes in the defense. Best boys volleyball setter: Jarred Koewler, Elder – The two-year varsity starter has incredible ball control from the setter position - easily runs an up-tempo off ense and pulls the strings for the panthers. Best boys volleyball defender: Hunter Haas, Moeller – Three-year varsity starter, 2018 state champ, 2019 state runner-up, 2019 second-team allstate, and fi rst-team all-region, he plays an unrelenting style of volleyball, never gives up, and covers an incredible amount of court. He will be playing at Trine University next year.
