‘THIS IS A TRAGEDY’

Driver ID’d in deadly police pursuit over the Robeling Bridge that killed two in Newport Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Two suspects and one victim have been identifi ed in Friday’s deadly police pursuit that crossed the Ohio-Kentucky border. A driver fl eeing Cincinnati police crashed on Monmouth Street in Newport plowing through an outdoor dining area Friday afternoon. Two bystanders were killed and another two were injured. Mason Meyer, 28, was the driver, according to Cincinnati police. His most recent address is listed in Reading, court documents state. Meyer is being held at the Hamilton County Justice Center on an open theft warrant with a Meyer $50,000 bond. “Additional charges are pending in Ohio and Kentucky, as well as federal charges,” police said. In Hamilton County, Meyer has previously been convicted on multiJohnson ple drug charges. Kristen Johnson, 22, was arrested in connection with the pursuit and crash, according to court documents. The documents say Johnson admitted to police she “was actively pulling up Google maps in an attempt to aid the driver in escaping the police.” Johnson is charged with fl eeing and eluding police. On Monday, she was being held at the Campbell County Jail on a $1 million bond awaiting further hearings. The Hamilton County Coroner’s Offi ce has identifi ed one of the victims. Raymond Laible, 81, was one of the bystanders who was killed, the coroner’s offi ce confi rmed. Laible was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center where he died. Another person was also killed in

the crash, but the Hamilton County Coroner’s Offi ce is not handling that case. Kentucky offi cials have not released on the name of the second deceased victim. Cincinnati Police Chief Eliot Isaac said the chase began at 4:22 p.m. in Lower Price Hill when police offi cers attempted to stop a car with three suspects inside. He said the offi cers, who were part of a federal task force with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, were investigating possible weapons violations. When the car did not pull over, Isaac said, at least two police cruisers gave chase. He said they followed the suspect’s car through city streets, across the bridge and into Newport, where it struck the four people outside the restaurant. The two who survived are hospitalized with “non-life-threatening injuries,” Isaac said.

“This is a tragedy,” Isaac said. Offi cers at the scene of the crash closed off a three-block area around the wreck, including the intersection of Monmouth and Fifth streets. A heavily damaged sedan was visible in front of the building at the intersection that houses The Press restaurant. Isaac arrived at the scene at 5:51 p.m. and met with offi cers investigating the crash. Police said it was believed at least one of the suspects in the vehicle was armed when the pursuit began. The third occupant of the car is not currently facing any charges, Cincinnati police said Monday. The occupants of the car suff ered minor injuries, according to police. Isaac said police will conduct an internal investigation into the pursuit. See CRASH, Page 6A

Dr. Elizabeth Velazquez pushed open the doors to Gutierrez Deli, the Mexican grocery store and sandwich shop in Covington. She knew this was where she could reach Spanish-speaking Northern Kentuckians. She handed a ﬂ ier to a grocery clerk and asked if he could share it with his customers. It described, in Spanish, how people could prevent the spread of COVID-19. Velazquez, a family doctor with St. Elizabeth Healthcare, saw how the disease disproportionately hit the Latino community. She visited the grocery store, Spanish-speaking laundry mats and churches in Northern Kentucky as part of the hospital’s action plan to slow the spread of the virus. In July, Latino people made up 20% of COVID-19 cases in the region, according to data from the Northern Kentucky Health Department. That’s disproportionate compared to how many Latinos live in Northern Kentucky. In Boone, Kenton and Campbell counties, Latinos make up between 2% and 4% of the county populations. At the beginning of August, the percentage of Latino COVID-19 cases dropped to 15% of the total cases. Across the river, Hamilton County’s Latino population is 3.6%, but the Latino COVID-19 count makes up 7% of cases there. In Butler County, Latino people account for 13% of COVID-19 patients but just 5% of the overall population. The cause of the disparity, Velazquez said, is complex. “I don’t want people to think, ‘Oh, the immigrants are bringing in the virus.’ That’s not the case,” she said. “These are people who have lived here for decades.” When society shifted to work-fromhome to slow the spread of the coronavirus, many Latino people in Northern Kentucky didn’t have that option, Velazquez said. She had COVID-19 patients who worked in restaurants, poorly ventilated warehouses and places where overtime work is often mandatory. Giovanna Alvarez, director of Su Casa Hispanic Center in Roselawn, said the same goes for Latino people in southwest Ohio and for many Latinos across the United States. “They cannot aﬀ ord to lose their jobs,” Alvarez said. Systemic racial and ethnic biases in the United States cause disparity in health issues for people of color. The See LATINOS, Page 2A

Latinos Continued from Page 1A

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes: i People from some racial and ethnic minority groups are more likely to be uninsured than non-Hispanic whites. i Healthcare access can be limited for these groups by many other factors, such as lack of transportation, child care or the ability to take time oﬀ of work. i Communication and language barriers, cultural diﬀ erences between patients and providers and historical and current discrimination in healthcare systems can cause these disparities. It is not uncommon that Latino and Black people have jobs that fall into the “essential worker” categories, providing services that must be continued through the pandemic. And that’s a way that COVID-19 spreads. “We know (cases) are happening in clusters in the workplace,” Valazquez said. She added she had fewer COVID-19 patients when employers mandated face masks and implemented social distancing work standards. It was hard for Velazquez to explain to her patients why they needed to stay home if they had minor symptoms like a cough or slight fever. Some of them have never missed a day of work. Sometimes, they don’t have jobs with paid sick leave, Velazquez said. To help the Latino community, Velazquez said employers need to mandate masks and implement social distancing methods in the workplace. The other issue Velazquez faced: getting the COVID-19 advice to Spanish speakers.

Clients pick up a care box and bag of essentials at Su Casa Hispanic Center in Roselawn, a program of Catholic Charities Southwestern Ohio. Su Casa has stepped up to cover needs of those experiencing difficulties from the pandemic. The center helps Latino families in the region. PROVIDED

“We were being bombarded with the message of stay home, stay safe,” she said. “I wasn’t sure if that message was getting to a Spanish-speaking audience.” Velazquez and a group of doctors created a task force to fi gure out how to reach Spanish-speaking Northern Kentuckians. They fi lmed information videos in Spanish, aired ads on the Spanish-speaking radio station, launched a COVID-19 hotline specifi cally for Spanish speakers and visited community hubs, like the grocery store. “All of that – I believe it made a diff er-

ence,” Velazquez said. Alvarez said language barriers are common in Latino communities in the region. For many people, she said, “Spanish is a second language.” English is their third. So Su Casa workers meet with and listen to and provide assistance with language for people in the Cincinnati area. Su Casa, an established program of Catholic Charities of Southwestern Ohio, has always provided help to lowincome Latino people and other immigrants in the region. Now, with the pandemic, those services have had to

change and, in some cases, expand, offi cials said. To communicate to the area’s Spanish-speaking people the need for social distancing, masks and more, said David Taylor of Catholic Charities, “We put up an outdoor billboard on I-75. We shared on social media. We distributed handouts and sent phone calls and text messages.” Su Casa was able to help 100 families with rent and utilities, thanks to donations during the pandemic. Staff members deliver food and care packages to the most vulnerable. And the pantry has been altered so that people can pick up food and care packages by driving through, rather than going inside. Lines for help have turned into appointment-based meetings with distancing and masks required. Classes that once were in-person are now online. Enrollment has dropped, however, because many do not have laptops or access to the internet. “The pandemic has brought to light a digital divide,” Alvarez said. Cincinnati Public Schools is helping with access to WiFi for families that need it. Still, Alvarez said, communication may be diffi cult for some families with home-based, virtual learning. Latinos in Northern Kentucky suffered economically as well, said Reid Yearwood, executive director of the Esperanza Latino Center in Covington. “A lot of these families were undocumented, not eligible (for) the stimulus and fell through the cracks in other organizations,” Yearwood said. The center was awarded $30,000 worth of grants from organizations in Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati. That money went toward families’ rent and utility bills, Yearwood said.

Local homes selling fast despite COVID-19 Randy Tucker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

If you’re looking for a house in Cincinnati or Northern Kentucky, you better act quick. Houses are selling fast, propelled by a combination of strong demand, low supply and low interest rates drawing buyers into the market despite the relentless surge in new COVID-19 infections. “I’ll pull up to a brand-new listing, and it’ll look like a parking lot out front with all the other realtors waiting to show it to their clients,” said Donna Deaton a veteran realtor with ReMax Victory in West Chester. “If the right house comes on the market, it’s gone in hours, not days. It’s becoming a little bit of a nightmare. It’s super frustrating and extremely exhausting.” At least part of the reason the housing market is so competitive is the dearth of inventory in the local area, forcing shoppers to snap up available properties before another buyer beats them to it. Housing inventory in Greater Cincinnati dwindled to historic lows in May, collapsing by more than a third to just 2,758 listings, compared to 4,188 listings in the same month a year ago, according to ﬁ gures from the Cincinnati Area Board of Realtors (CABR). As a result, buyers have been compelled to make decisions on the spot when they see a property they like and often pay thousands of dollars above asking price to beat competitors’ bids. “I put in one oﬀ er for a house at $10,000 over asking price, and I got outbid,” said an incredulous Matthew Montgomery, who’s been searching for a house on the east side of Cincinnati for several months. “I try to keep my searches in the $175,000-to-$185,000 range now because I know I’m going to have to spend $200,000 or more to get it,” Montgomery said, referring to the savage price competition. The 24-year-old mechanical engineer, who rents a one-bedroom apartment in Beechwood, said he keeps a close eye on the local housing market, checking daily for new listings on web-

The owners of this three-bedroom house in Taylor Mill said they had 35 showings in three days after their house was listed for sale on July 31. PROVIDED

sites, such as Zillow. Despite his due diligence, he said, he’s missed numerous opportunities to buy because he was too slow to make Montgomery an oﬀ er. “You see a listing go up, and it’s only there for 24 to 48 hours before it’s already pending,” Montgomery said. “Even if you have a showing at a house you might want to buy, you can’t sleep on it overnight. “I always thought when you’re making a big decision like buying a house, you should never make an impulse decision,” he added. “But if you don’t make an impulse decision in this market, you don’t even have an opportunity to make an oﬀ er.” While the situation is making it tough for buyers, there may not be a better time to be a seller. Home prices are up across the region, which means most sellers can command top dollar, even without making major improvements to their properties. In Greater Cincinnati, the median home price was up about 8% in June, climbing to $214,900 from $199,900 in June last year, the CABR reported. In Northern Kentucky, median prices rose at an even faster rate, surging 18% to $215,550 in June, compared to

$183,000 in the same month a year ago, according to fi gures from the Northern Kentucky Multiple Listing Service. At the same time, mortgage rates have fallen to record lows – now averaging just over 3% for a 30-year, fi xed-rate loan – making buying a home more affordable, even at higher prices. Phillip Goetz said he and his wife, Jennie, recently sold a three-bedroom ranch in Taylor Mill for $205,000 – about $5,000 over the list price. He said the house was shown to prospective buyers 35 times in three days but yielded just two off ers. “I think a lot of people were hesitant to make an off er because they thought they might get caught up in a bidding war,” Goetz said, noting that interested buyers swarmed the house the day it was listed on July 31. “I wasn’t there,’ he said “But my neighbor said an hour after the house was listed there were people parked up and down the street. It was crazy.” According to housing market tracker Redfi n, “Hot Homes” in the Cincinnati metro area are selling for about about 2% above list price and are pending in just over a month, on average. But those fi gures include higherpriced luxury homes that don’t sell as fast because there aren’t as many buyers in the $500,000-and-up price range.

In the hottest Cincinnati-area markets, move-in ready homes priced around $300,000 or less rarely sit on the market for more than three weeks, based on ﬁ gures compiled by ReMax Victory for the top 10 neighborhoods in the Cincinnati area with the highest sales volume so far this year. The latest sales trends come as a welcome-but-unexpected surprise for local realtors who anticipated a housing slowdown caused by the COVID-19 crisis. Many housing experts forecasted June home sales to continue a downward spiral as the fallout from COVID-19 continued to keep wary consumers out of the market and even led some sellers to pull or postpone their listings, The Enquirer reported. Sales in the Cincinnati area were down more than 25% through April and May, compared to the same two months of 2019, according to Kelly Meyer, President of the Cincinnati Area Board of Realtors. But sales rebounded in June, and were down just (7%) from a robust month for home sales in June 2019, Meyer said. “June’s performance was a welcome reversal from those downward trends,” she said.

Dollar General NKY distribution center will bring 300 jobs Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Dollar General will bring 250 jobs to the city of Walton as part of a $65 million investment in the Boone County city of about 4,000 residents off I-71/75. The new 630,000-square-foot distribution center will be built at 950 Wenstrup Lane, a vacant swath of land just east of I-75 and south of Ky. 16, according to a release from Northern Kentucky Tri-County Economic Development Corporation (Tri-ED). “Dollar General is an excellent addition to the Northern Kentucky business community,” said Lee Crume, president and CEO of Tri-ED. “We know the company is a great corporate citizen and this is a longterm investment bringing new jobs into Boone County.” Tri-ED and the city of Walton worked together to bring the project to the area and received cooperation from Boone County, according to the release. Walton Mayor Gabe Brown said the city appreciates the signifi cant investment and that the Dollar General Literacy Foundation is one way Dollar General is a great community partner. “We feel they are a valuable addition and will benefi t Walton and our school district,” Brown said.

KY Supreme Court sets hearing date in lawsuit challenging COVID-19 orders Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Kentucky Supreme Court will hear arguments Sept. 17 in a Boone County case seeking to overturn some of Gov. Andy Beshear’s coronavirus health orders. The Supreme Court ruled Friday that it will hear the case arising out of Boone County Circuit Court separately from a Scott County case that had been joined together with the Boone County case, according to court records. The Supreme Court’s Friday order dictates that lower courts cannot issue any injunctions to prevent Kentucky from enforcing Beshear’s orders regarding how businesses can operate during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Boone Circuit Judge Richard Brueggemann has previously declared Beshear’s emergency COVID-19 orders unconstitutional, according to a July 21 Louisville Courier-Journal article. The Supreme Court halted all attempts to block the governor’s health orders until the court hears the case, according to a July 17 Courier-Journal article. Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron joined the lawsuit with businesses in seeking to overturn Beshear’s COVID-19 orders. Florence Speedway, Ridgeway Properties LLC, Beans Cafe & Bakery, and daycare Little Links to Learning LLC ﬁ led in Boone County Circuit Court against the governor and state agencies and oﬃ cials to seek relief from orders limiting numbers of customers.

“We will be examining the propriety of our offi cers’ actions,” Isaac said. “We always examine our pursuits.” It is still unclear what possible charges prompted the pursuit. Police have not off ered details about the weapons investigation. It is also unclear why the pursuit continued into an area with heavy pedestrian and sidewalk traffi c. “Offi cers must terminate their involvement in motor vehicle pursuits whenever the risks to their safety, the safety of innocent bystanders, or the safety of the suspect(s) outweigh the consequences of the suspect’s escape,” the Cincinnati Police Department Procedure Manual says. Offi cers involved in pursuits are told to consider 13 diff erent factors during pursuits. Among those factors is the degree of risk created by the pursuit to others and the amount of pedestrian traffi c. Cincinnati police said both an internal investigation and a parallel Citizen Complaint Authority investigation have been launched to examine what happened.

Diocese of Covington reports that 59 priests sexually abused children since 1950 Erin Glynn and Dan Horn Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A nearly year-long review of records at the Diocese of Covington found that 59 Catholic priests and 31 others associated with the church have sexually abused children since the 1950s. A report summarizing the ﬁ ndings of the review was released July 31 on the diocese’s website, along with a list naming the accused and a letter of apology from Covington Bishop Roger Foys. “There are no words to adequately express the sorrow and shame I feel,” Foys wrote. “I can never apologize enough to those who have been harmed by any representative of the Church. I beg your forgiveness in the name of the Church.” The report is the most exhaustive ac-

counting yet of those credibly accused of sexual abuse in the diocese, covering pastors, chaplains, deacons, teachers, brothers, nuns and about 20 lay people. The Diocese of Covington, along with the Archdiocese of Cincinnati and dioceses across the country, has struggled to reassure Catholics following years of scandal related to clergy abuse of children and the failure of Catholic leaders to address the problem. The scandal erupted in 2002 but has repeatedly ﬂ ared as new revelations about the church’s handling of abusive priests have come to light. In 2006, the Diocese of Covington paid out more than $81 million to sexual abuse victims as part of a court settlement. According to a statement the diocese released July 31, the new report was compiled by two former FBI agents who reviewed thousands of records dating

back to 1950. They began their work in October 2019 after Foys and the Diocesan Review Board declared they wanted to assure Northern Kentucky Catholics that the diocese has addressed sexual abuse of minors “as far as humanly possible.” Some on the list were accused of abuse more than once, though the report released July 31 does not list the number of cases connected to each person or where the abuse occurred. In addition to the priests and lay people, six religious brothers and ﬁ ve nuns are on the list. Though the focus was on cases dating to 1950, the review found accusations that went back to the 1940s. Of the accused priests, all but 14 are now dead. To read Foys’ letter and to see the entire list of the accused, visit https:// bit.ly/3ktesyV

The diocese said all the accusations have been substantiated – meaning the accused admitted to the abuse, a court found them guilty, an investigation found cause to believe that the accusation is objectively true, the accused declined to address the accusation or that the diocese has paid a settlement based on a sworn claim form. In his letter, Foys sought to assure Catholics the diocese now has policies and practices in place that will prevent future abuse. To the best of his knowledge, he said, “there is no priest in public ministry in the Diocese of Covington who has abused a minor.” “I sincerely hope that this report will bring at least some sense of closure to those whose lives have been forever changed by the egregious behavior of those who were pledged to care for God’s little ones,” Foys wrote.

Coach convicted of trying to lure child online for sex Jennifer Edwards Baker Fox19

A former youth tennis coach who prosecutors say dubbed himself “Daddy Lover” was convicted of a sex crime involving a child and now will be required to register as a sex off ender. In Kentucky’s fi rst jury trial since the coronavirus pandemic shut down courts locally and across the nation, Kenton County jurors deliberated only 20 minutes fi nding Timothy Mitchell of Mount Airy guilty of a felony charge of unlawful use of an electronic device to procure a minor for sex. “These cases are a priority in Kenton County and it’s a good reminder that protecting our children is job #1!” said Kenton County Commonwealth Attorney Rob Sanders. The jury recommended Mitchell serve 2.5 years in prison. Kenton County Circuit Court Judge Patricia Summe is expected to formally sentence him next month. Mitchell was a longtime tennis in-

structor who gave lessons in at least three area cities, according to a previous Enquirer report. He provided private tennis lessons at cityMitchell owned courts in Wyoming and Fort Mitchell. A fl yer that was posted to the city of Edgewood’s website in 2017 showed Mitchell off ered lessons to children and adults. The fl yer stated Mitchell is a U.S. Professional Tennis Association instructor. The trial began Aug. 4, which was Mitchell’s 62nd birthday, in a courtroom fi lled with plexiglass dividers and masked jurors scattered about for social distancing. Everyone but the jurors were cleared from the courtroom so the jury could deliberate while still remaining at least six feet apart. The investigation leading to Mitchell’s arrest began as a police training scenario, prosecutors say. Kenton County Police Detective Bri-

an Jones was in a training class that showed offi cers how to spot online child predators. He followed the classroom instructions and created an online persona pretending to be a 14-year-old female. Mitchell responded to the “child” with an array of sexual comments, questions, and even emailed a photo of his genitals on the fi rst day of online contact, according to investigators. He also suggested the “girl” tell her guardian she was taking tennis lessons from him so the two could spend time alone together. Mitchell’s emails described various sex acts he desired to engage in with the “child” and told her he wanted to be her “Daddy Lover.” On March 12, 2019, after communicating with who he thought was a child for only a week, Mitchell traveled from home in Mt. Airy on Cincinnati’s west side to Kenton County. Authorities say he planned to have sex with the child but was instead met by Kenton County Police Offi cer Adam

Watson and Captain Gary Helton, who arrested him. Offi cers said they discovered Mitchell was dressed as he had described for the child, with no undergarments beneath his tracksuit. He had a new cellular phone he planned to give to the child so her guardian could not track her calls. Detective Jones brought Mitchell in for questioning but did not disclose he was really the “child” communicating with Mitchell. Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorneys Emily Arnzen and Corey Plybon declined to make any plea off ers to the defendant. “If it wasn’t Detective Jones, it would have be a real child and she would receive a life sentence suff ering from the trauma of being raped by this man. Thank God for great cops like Detective Jones, and thank God our Kenton County Police fund a position dedicated to hunting online predators.” Enquirer media partner Fox19 provided this report.

Riverfest 2020 is canceled Cameron Knight | Cincinnati Enquirer | USA TODAY NETWORK

Cincinnati offi cials recently announced that Riverfest, Cincinnati’s longstanding celebration of Labor Day, will not happen in 2020. “Mayor Cranley announces that the City of Cincinnati will not issue permits related to Riverfest this year,” the city said in a tweet. “He said he looks forward to the event next year.” Mayor John Cranley said during a press conference he thought it was fairly obvious the event would not happen, “but we want to be explicit.” There will be no permits for beer sales, fi reworks or any gatherings on the river. “It’s inconceivable that we would feel comfortable to have that kind of a large gathering on the river a month from now, despite the fact that our numbers are getting better,” Cranley said. “No one thinks they’ll get that great by then or that we’ll have a vaccine by then.” Covington, Newport and Bellevue had already withdrawn from the event citing COVID-19 concerns. The Rozzi Famous Fireworks show is typically 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.

Kenton County middle school athletic director accused of child sex abuse Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A Kenton County teacher and middle school athletic director has been suspended after being arrested Sunday in Campbell County on child sex charges. Jason Schwartz, of Dayton, Kentucky, was charged with ﬁ rst-degree sodomy of a victim under 12-years-old, use of a minor under 16-years-old in a sex performance, and ﬁ rst-degree sodomy. A Campbell County Police Department detective arrested Schwartz Sunday afternoon, according to jail records. Kenton County Schools’ website lists Schwartz as a teacher and athletic director at Woodland Middle School in Taylor Mill.

Schwartz, 32, appeared in court Monday morning in Campbell County to be arraigned on the charges. Schwartz remains in Schwartz custody at the Campbell County Detention Center. “We have been made aware of the arrest of one our employees,” said Jess Dykes, director of public information and community engagement at Kenton County Schools. “The employee has been suspended pending the outcome of an investigation. Additionally, we are cooperating with local authorities,” The Enquirer will continue to update this story as information becomes available.

Taking time to appreciate aprons while making some quick strawberry ice cream Three ingredient strawberry ice cream

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

Use sweetened frozen strawberries. So easy, and pretty, too. Recipe can be doubled.

Guest columnist

You should have seen me picking vegetables yesterday. Well, then again, I’m glad you didn’t. I was on my way to check the berry patch and thought I’d check the veggies, too, thinking I’d get a few ripe ones. After picking through rows of tomato, squash and cucumbers, I was wishing I had on a big, old fashioned apron instead of the tank top I wore. Maybe you know the aprons I’m talking about – wide enough to wrap around and make a pouch to carry things. I got to thinking about my favorite poem about aprons that I shared a while back. And about you still cooking during these troubled times. The poem talks about times when aprons were not a fashion statement, but a necessity. Sort of like today, don’t you think? Also here’s my recipe for quick strawberry ice cream, requested by a Mason reader.

Ingredients 12-16 oz. frozen sweetened strawberries, thawed 1 to 1 1⁄ 4 cups whipping cream, unwhipped (1 cup for 12 oz., 1⁄ 4 cups for 16 oz.) 1 teaspoon vanilla Instructions Pour berries into blender or food processor. Blend until as smooth as you like. Pour cream and vanilla in. Blend until mixed. Pour into ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer’s instructions. (Mine took 20 minutes.) Eat immediately or freeze for ﬁ rmer set. Tip: Make this by hand if you like.

The apron When I cook, I put on my oldest apron, the one worn and dotted with stains. Aprons are not only clothing, but a piece of history. Stains are remembrances of time spent in the kitchen cooking for loved ones. Back in the day, Grandma's apron served more than just protection to clothing. h It was used as a potholder for removing hot pans from the oven. h The apron was perfect for drying children's tears, and on occasion was even used for cleaning out dirty ears. h From the chicken coop, the apron was used to carry eggs, fussy chicks, and sometimes half-hatched eggs to be ﬁ nished in the warming oven. h When company came, those

aprons were ideal hiding places for shy kids. h When the weather was cold, grandma wrapped it around her arms. h Those big old aprons wiped many a perspiring brow, bent over a hot wood stove. h Chips and kindling wood were brought into the kitchen in that apron. h From the garden, it carried all sorts of vegetables. After the peas had been shelled, it carried out hulls. h In the fall, the apron was used to

bring in apples fallen from the trees. h When unexpected company drove up the road, it was surprising how much furniture that old apron could dust in seconds. h When dinner was ready, Grandma walked out to the porch, waved her apron, and the men knew it was time to come in from the ﬁ elds to dinner. It will be a long time before someone invents something that will replace that "old-time apron" that served many purposes.

Northern Kentucky seniors enjoy all-star series James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Like every other high school baseball player in Northern Kentucky, Mason Schwalbach didn’t have a spring season of highlights to look back on. He got one ﬁ nal highlight to remember, as the 2020 Highlands graduate hit one last home run in a Highlands uniform on Aug. 3. There were plenty of stories like that recently, as Northern Kentucky baseball players who graduated this summer got a last chance to wear their school uniforms after the 2020 season was canceled by the pandemic. Coaches put together a pair of senior all-star games at Highland Hills Park, Highlands’ home baseball ﬁ eld in Fort Thomas. “Mason hit a home run in his last atbat in the last scrimmage that we played, and then he hit a home run in his last at-bat here on his senior day,” said Highlands head coach Jeremy Baioni. “So that was really cool.” All participating players were given a

instead of the usual seven. The Aug. 4 game went the full nine, and the team coached by Campbell County’s Scott Schweitzer prevailed 5-4. The team had members from the Camels, Holy Cross, Walton-Verona, Cooper and St. Henry. The Crusaders had three players on each team Aug. 4 to balance out roster sizes. Campbell’s Daniel Gable had an RBI single in a decisive three-run rally, and also got the save in the ninth. Beechwood’s Carson Graham had an RBI double. Monday’s fi rst game was delayed by rain after four innings, with Schwalbach’s homer the only run scored. The weather cleared up enough for coaches to give fi ve players who had not had a plate appearance that night one fi nal chance to get a base hit in uniform, then the rest of the game was canceled. Baioni praised the umpiring crews for going beyond the call of duty, sitting through the rain delay Aug. 3 and then working a longer game Aug. 4.

action. “We’re blessed to have this facility where everybody doesn’t have to go to the bleachers to watch,” Baioni said. Baioni led the charge to organize the games after a suggestion from Highlands booster Joe Grimme. “The coaches felt the same,” Baioni said. “They felt terrible that their kids lost out on their senior year. We got a plan together. Everybody was good with understanding what we wanted to do and how we wanted to do it.” About 70 players signed up for the series. The players were split up into four teams, with each team representing a mix of diﬀ erent school sizes and KHSAA districts, while also separating powerhouse programs from each other. The games were set for nine innings

SCHOOL NEWS NewCath cancels Fireworks Fest Newport Central Catholic Principal Ron Dawn announced that the school will not host its annual Fireworks Fest this Labor Day Weekend. Dawn said, “We will follow the current guidelines set by Governor Andy Beshear regarding the recent surge in COVID-19 cases. Hosting our event, which annually brings a few thousand people to our campus to view the Western and Southern/WEBN Fireworks, would not comply nor would it be responsible. The health and safety of all is our utmost concern.” The school’s campus will be closed. No one will be permitted on school grounds that entire day and evening. This would have been the school’s 27th year hosting the event, which capitalizes on it’s amazing view of downtown Cincinnati. Over the years, it has raised nearly a half million dollars for the school. Tessy B. Krebs, Newport Central Catholic High School

COMMUNITY NEWS Campbell County Historical Society needs room to grow The Campbell County Historical and Genealogical Society is bursting at the seams. “We wanted to procure four fi ling cabinets for our growing number of genealogical records,” said Historical Society President Steve Battistone. “Finding someone to donate them is no problem- we just have absolutely nowhere to put them. We also have people holding exhibit items they wish to donate until we can fi nd a place large enough to show them.” The all-volunteer nonprofi t formed in 1990 to preserve, protect and promote history and genealogy in Campbell County, Kentucky. The organization also currently maintains a research offi ce, library, and museum on the second fl oor of the historic Alexandria Courthouse to maintain its projects, including: h local history and genealogy research h local cemetery research h Campbell County log cabin research h Campbell County Military Veterans information h local history book writing and reprinting h oral histories These projects and their corresponding documents have fi lled up the second fl oor space to capacity, leading the society’s leadership to urgently seek an expanded space. To support this and ongoing eff orts, the nonprofi t recently partnered with Horizon Community Funds of Northern Kentucky to establish a fund. “This is a great time for us to support the Campbell County Historical Society with a fund partnership,” said Horizon Community Funds President Nancy Grayson. “As an organization charged with collecting and archiving information about all events of historic signifi cance, a prime example of their importance is in future storytelling around COVID-19’s impact on local history, specifi c to Campbell County. Their need for space will only continue to grow, and we hope the community shows up in strong support for these uncommon advocates of Northern Kentucky history.” In addition to the new fund, the Historical Society has announced the release of a new book called “One Day in Campbell County.” The hardcover book features 260 full-color pages of photographs from hobbyists and professionals alike, all taken on Saturday, April 27, 2019, across Campbell County. “This book is a culmination of our Campbell County neighbors’ work, and is a collection of places that really make Campbell County such a great place,” added Battistone. “This is a book you will want to share with others and pass down from generation to generation.” The society is hopeful that they will be able to secure enough in community donations to secure a down payment or lease on a larger facility very soon.

Talent Magnet Institute launches membership community focused on building leaders and strengthening organizations from the top down NEWPORT, Ky. – Talent Magnet Institute, sister organization of Centennial Talent Strategy & Executive Search (Centennial), launched a subscriptionbased community geared towards reframing success through a holistic leadership approach. The mission of Talent Magnet Institute is to develop growth-minded leaders who have a desire to be proactive in the way they attract, recruit, onboard, develop and retain employees. The organization takes a holistic approach to help leaders succeed in relationships, work, community and life. As part of the new off ering from Talent Magnet Institute, community members will have access to exclusive service off erings including webinars, 1:1 virtual coaching sessions, “fi reside chats” with global leaders, private executive networking, quarterly leadership sessions with institute advisors, access to a membership only resource library, and more. “Seven years ago, the leadership team at Centennial identifi ed a signifi cant need for a customizable, comprehensive and extensive leadership program,” said Mike Sipple Jr., President of Centennial and Co-Founder, CEO of Talent Magnet Institute. “Based on the voices of our Centennial customers, we identifi ed gaps in existing programs where our experts and consultants could provide the greatest value, which led to the launch of the Talent Magnet Institute, as well as this new community.” The Talent Magnet Institute community off ers a curriculum curated by an extensive roster of advisors focused on the employee lifecycle, leadership development, and organizational design. Unlike other online leadership-based programs, the institute’s new community provides members with an opportunity to engage with like minded exec-

utives in a safe environment to learn, ask questions, and gain new perspectives from other success-driven leaders. “What makes Centennial and Talent Magnet Institute so diff erent from other executive search fi rms and leadership development programs is their unmatched authenticity, passion and care – I know this well because I was on the receiving end of their services for more than a decade,” said Mehmet Yuksek, former President/CEO of Perfetti Van Melle USA; consultant; and faculty, Talent Magnet Institute. “Digitizing leadership programs often falls fl at because they aren’t tailored to the unique needs of each industry and their members. The teams at both Centennial and Talent Magnet Institute are emotionally invested in the wellbeing of every organization and individual they serve – you feel and see the benefi ts they provide and can measure the successes of their off erings in a very tangible way.” Talent Magnet Institute will off er three, monthly membership options that range from $97 per month to $497. Those interested in testing the services can sign up for a 30-day trial period and will be fully refunded if not satisfi ed with their membership.

NKY Girl Scouts launch 24 new badge programs ERLANGER, Ky. – Girl Scouts of Kentucky’s Wilderness Road (GSKWR) and Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) are launching 24 new opportunities designed to help Kentucky girls practice ambitious leadership in the crucial areas of automotive engineering, STEM career exploration, entrepreneurship, and civics, many of which are maledominated. In a year of unprecedented global change, our country’s need for strong, broad-minded, and decisive leadership has never been greater. The new Girl Scout badge opportunities include: • Entrepreneurship (grades K–12).

Girls develop an entrepreneurial mindset as they build their own business plan and think about topics like production, cost, profi t, marketing, and competition. Three in four of today’s girls are interested in becoming an entrepreneur, but more than half also say they need more support in this area. Funded by Susan Bulkeley Butler and designed in collaboration with VentureLab. • STEM Career Exploration (grades 2–8). Girls explore their career interests in computer science, nature/environmental science, engineering, design, health, and agriculture. The IF/THEN® Collection, a free, downloadable digital asset library of real-life women in STEM, is an integral component of the badges. The dearth of women in STEM fi elds is well documented, but data shows that girls are more interested in a STEM career when they learn how they can use it to help people, demonstrating the value of Girl Scouts’ unique approach. Funded by IF/THEN, an initiative of Lyda Hill Philanthropies. • Automotive Engineering (grades K–5). Girls learn about designing, engineering, and manufacturing vehicles, as well as the future of mobility. Only 13% of engineers are women, underscoring the need for these badges which will introduce more girls to the fi eld. Funded by General Motors. • Civics (grades K–12). Girls gain an in-depth understanding of how local, state, and federal government works, preparing them to be voters, activists, and even political leaders. Just 24% of eighth-graders are profi cient in civics, and only two in fi ve American adults can name the three branches of U.S. government, highlighting the need for these badges. Funded by the Citi Foundation. “Off ering Kentucky Girl Scouts the opportunity to engage in new skill development and ambitious leadership opportunities enables the next generation of female change-makers here in Kentucky,” said GSKWR CEO Susan Douglas. “From automotive engineering to STEM career exploration, we believe that providing our girls with these valuable experiences opens the door to a future of bold, informed, and compassionate leadership.” Girl Scouts has made free self-guided activities from select new and existing programming available digitally to See COMMUNITY NEWS, Page 12B

Superintendent downplays COVID threat by invoking Holocaust Max Londberg Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Mike Stacy, the superintendent of Beechwood Independent Schools, downplayed the threat of COVID-19 by comparing the number of deaths in Kentucky to those suﬀ ered by Jews in the Holocaust. In a since-deleted tweet, Stacy wrote that he was eager for the new school year to begin. “790 total Covid deaths in KY during 2020....you’d have to times that by 7,600 to get the 6 million Jews that died in death camps during WWII,” he wrote Sunday afternoon.

Girls can further engage with the badges and topics through online videos, activities, or special live virtual events.

er on Twitter, calling his original words thoughtless. “Earlier today, I posted a comment on social media that could have Stacy been interpreted as insensitive, inconsiderate and completely out of line,” he wrote. In an email to The Enquirer, Stacy said he’d intended to prompt a conversation about “dire moments throughout history” and in the present day. “Our students are coming back scared and they have questions,” he told The Enquirer. “I want to use history as a guide through some amazingly diﬃ cult issues that have presented themselves.”

His tweet came days after a report found the prevalence of COVID-19 in children ramped up in late July across the country. Nearly 100,000 children tested positive in the last two weeks of July, accounting for more than a quarter of all child positive tests since the pandemic began. Kentucky had 286 cases per 100,000 children, a higher rate than states such as Ohio, Michigan and New Jersey. The report, which included data from all but one state, was produced by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children’s Hospital Association. Based on available evidence, children do not appear to be at higher risk for COVID-19 than adults, according to

the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But they can contribute to spreading the virus, with the CDC warning that “the more people children interact with, and the longer that interaction, the higher the risk of COVID-19 spread.” Beechwood Independent’s returnto-school plan has four options for instruction, from fully in-person to fully remote classes. Building- and district-level superintendents will establish the mode of learning with guidance from local, state and federal health departments, according to the district’s website. School is scheduled to resume Aug. 19 in the district, with some form of in-person classes expected.

ing plants as needed and mulch the plants to conserve soil moisture. At this time, applications of calcium to the soil or foliage do not prevent or Sorrell cure the disorder. Blossom end rot is not caused by a lack of calcium in many cases, but by poor distribution of calcium in the plant. Early blight is one common disease on tomato plants that is caused by a fungus. The fungus generally causes small, irregular, brown, dead spots with yellow edges on the older leaves. During periods of high temperatures and humidity, the fungus can spread. Septoria leaf spot occurs on tomato leaves too. It starts on the older leaves of the plants near the ground. At ﬁ rst, spots on the leaves appear water-soaked and are often scattered thickly over the leaf. These spots become roughly circular and have gray centers surrounded by dark margins. This disease cause the entire leaf to turn yellow, then brown, and wither. This disease is favored by moderate temperature and rainfall. Both early blight and septoria leaf spot spread by spores produced by the fungi. The spores are carried by the wind or by raindrops splashing the spores onto the leaves. To manage early blight and septoria

leaf spot, cultural practices can be used. Good air movement around the plants helps dry off the leaves quickly, which discourages disease development. Caging or staking plants helps to increase air circulation around the plants. Also, rotate the location of the tomatoes in the garden each year to help prevent a buildup of diseases against tomatoes in one location. Picking off the leaves when you see the spots of early blight as they fi rst appear may help reduce its spread. Fungicides can be used to help manage these diseases. It is best to apply them before the plant is infected. A fungicide containing the active ingredient mancozeb (such as Dithane) can be used during the early season before fruit harvest starts, and chlorothalonil (such as Daconil) can be used during the season while picking fruit. Good coverage with the fungicide on both sides of the leaves is important in order to protect the plant from more infections by early blight and septoria leaf spot. Follow label directions on how often to apply the fungicide and the number of days you should wait after spraying before you can harvest the fruit. The fungicide needs to be applied several times during the season to protect the new foliage. Don Sorrell, Campbell County Cooperative Extension Service

Common tomato diseases Tomatoes are fun to grow and eat but tomato diseases can make them challenging to grow especially during wet years. Once fruit set, the fi rst problem found on the fruit is usually blossom end rot. It begins as a small, watersoaked spot on the blossom of the tomato. The spot shrinks and becomes fl attened or sunken. Under environmental stress conditions (low soil moisture, hot and dry wind, heavy applications of nitrogen fertilizer, and fl uctuations in soil moisture) calcium moves to the leaves with the water inside the plant and bypasses the fruit. Without calcium in the fruit, the tissue at the blossom end of the tomato breaks down. To manage blossom end rot, maintain an even moisture supply by water-

Please take notice that Duke Energy Kentucky, Inc. has applied to the Kentucky Public Service Commission for approval to revise its Demand Side Management (DSM) rate electric service for residential and commercial customers. Duke Energy Kentucky’s current monthly DSM rate for residential electric customers is ($0.003143) per kilowatt-hour and for non-residential customers is $0.001768 per kilowatt-hour for distribution service and $0.000537 per kilowatt-hour for transmission service. Duke Energy Kentucky seeks approval to revise these rates as follows: Duke Energy Kentucky’s monthly DSM rate for residential electric customers would increase to ($0.002863) per kilowatt-hour and for non-residential customers would increase to $0.002405 per kilowatthour for distribution service and would remain at $0.000537 per kilowatt-hour for transmission service. The rate contained in this notice is the rate proposed by Duke Energy Kentucky. However, the Public Service Commission may order a rate to be charged that differs from this proposed rate. Such action may result in a rate for consumers other than the rate in this notice. The foregoing rates reflect a proposed increase in electric revenues of approximately $1.88 million or 0.55% over current total electric revenues. A typical residential electric customer using 1000 kWh in a month will see an increase of $0.31 or 0.34%. A typical non-residential electric customer using 40 kilowatts and 14,000 kWh will see an increase of $10.01 or 0.80%. Non-residential customers served at transmission voltage will see no change in their bills from this application. Any corporation, association, body politic or person may by motion within thirty (30) days after publication or mailing of notice of the proposed rate changes, submit a written request to intervene to the Public Service Commission, 211 Sower Boulevard, P.O. Box 615, Frankfort, Kentucky 40602, and shall set forth the grounds for the request including the status and interest of the party. The intervention may be granted beyond the thirty (30) day period for good cause shown. Written comments regarding the proposed rate may be submitted to the Public Service Commission by mail or through the Public Service Commission’s website. A copy of this application filed with the Public Service Commission is available for public inspection at Duke Energy Kentucky’s office at 1262 Cox Road, Erlanger, Kentucky 41018 and on its website at http://www.duke-energy.com This filing and any other related documents can be found on the Public Service Commission’s website at http://psc.ky.gov.
