COVID-19 complaints: maskless police, crowded warehouses

$38M horse-betting site opens in Newport Randy Tucker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Churchill Downs has burst out of the gate chasing gamblers’ dollars in the Cincinnati area with a new multimillion-dollar gambling and entertainment destination in Newport. The horse-racing giant opened the doors to its Newport Racing & Gaming development Oct. 2 in the Newport Shopping Center at 1727 Monmouth St., oﬀ Interstate 471. The $38.4 million casino-style complex is opening under an extension of the racing license that Churchill Downs owns for Turfway Park in Florence, where a massive $100 million renovation is underway. Proceeds from Newport Racing & Gaming are expected to help boost purses at the racetrack, which Churchill bought last year for $46 million. “We are thrilled that guests will be able to enjoy this premier entertainment experience and that the Kentucky horse racing industry will beneﬁ t from the incremental purses generated through Newport Racing & Gaming,” said Chip Bach, general manager of Turfway Park. Newport Racing & Gaming will compete directly against the nearby Belterra Park racino in Anderson Township and the Hard Rock Casino in downtown Cincinnati, as well as the

In August, a maskless police offi cer pulled over a pregnant woman in Boone County for expired tags. “I’m pregnant and high risk, and he was maskless and well within six feet of me,” the woman wrote. “He needlessly put my safety and the health of my pregnancy at risk.” The woman is one of the thousands of Northern Kentucky residents who submitted a complaint to the state about COVID-19 concerns in the region. State workers sifted through complaints about maskless police offi cers, crowded stores and warehouses, restaurants that defi ed physical distancing and mask mandates, backyard parties, and more. The Enquirer obtained the complaints and orders that closed businesses through Kentucky Open Records Act requests with the Kentucky Labor Cabinet and the Kentucky Public Protection Cabinet. Some complaints caused the Northern Kentucky Health Department to issue face mask violation citations, which can cost as much as $100. Others caused the state to investigate, temporarily shut down businesses, and suspend liquor licenses for physical distancing and mask violations.

Police officers without masks The pregnant woman wasn’t the only one who had a problem with maskless offi cers. Her complaint did not include which jurisdiction in Boone County pulled her over. Because of that, spokesperson Lieutenant Philip Ridgell for the Boone County Sheriff ’s Offi ce declined to comment on the complaint. She was one of fi ve people who submitted complaints about maskless police offi cers from departments in Boone County, Florence, Fort Thomas and Kenton County. Police chiefs from Florence and Fort Thomas did not respond to The Enquirer’s request for comment. Wearing a mask that covers your mouth and nose is the best way to prevent people from catching COVID-19 by airborne transmission, according to the Centers for Disease Control. In July, Gov. Andy Beshear signed an executive order to require masks inside and when you’re within six feet of another person. A few weeks before Beshear signed that order, a person submitted a complaint about maskless Florence Police Department offi cers at a neighborhood party. Even as Gov. Beshear implemented and continue to extend the mask mandate, local police didn’t wear their

masks while on duty, according to the complaints. In August, Beshear extended the order for another 30 days. But in Fort Thomas, Kentucky, that’s when someone was pulled over by a maskless Fort Thomas Police Department oﬃ cer who leaned into the car window, according to the complaint. In September, Beshear again extended the order. That same month, someone reported that they watched two maskless Florence Police Department oﬃ cers pull a man over on a motorcycle, according to the complaints. “I have witnessed several encounters between Florence and Boone County police over the last month where the po-

lice were unmasked and not social distancing, even for minor infractions,” the individual wrote in the complaint. “They should not be exempt from the mask mandate.” In Kenton County, one complaint reported multiple offi cers who didn’t wear masks while on duty. The Kenton County Police Department and the Boone County Sheriff ’s aren’t enforcing the mask mandate for their own offi cers, according to interviews The Enquirer conducted with department leaders. In Boone County, it’s the sheriff ’s deputies “option if they choose to wear

NEWPORT – When Churchill Downs Inc. developed Newport Racing & Gaming, the owners hoped to create a Las Vegas-like atmosphere in Newport. That environment starts within 10 feet of the front door, where there are six Historical Racing Machines to gamble on. The $38.4 million facility at the Newport Shopping Center in Northern Kentucky opened Oct. 2, and Director of Marketing Gary Pecorello said he has recognized a demand for a facility like this in the Cincinnati area. “Each of our 500 Historical Racing Machines has Vegas-style games and themes that our guests will be familiar

with,” Pecorello said. “We’ve seen an overwhelming support for a facility that has this.” The 17,000-square-foot gaming ﬂ oor used to be the location of a Chinese restaurant, but Churchill Downs began the process in May to convert the space into a casino-like atmosphere. With 500 gaming machines featuring large high deﬁ nition screens, guests can play classic games like Quick Hits, Lockit-Link and Stinkin’ Rich. Newport Racing & Gaming also features a simulcast room to watch horse races across the country. On the day of a race, guests can wager on races and watch the action on big-screen televisions. “We’ve had a lot of anticipation of the opening,” Pecorello said. “I can’t put a number on how many people we expect to see over the next few days, but we hope it’s a lot.” But the Newport Racing & Gaming facility won’t be able to pack in as many people as in a normal year. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, it has implemented several social distancing measures. Plastic dividers separate many of the gaming machines, and there is a service button on each machine that a guest can press to request a machine to be sanitized. “The pandemic brings a lot of hur-

dles, which we were all able to overcome,” Pecorello said. “One of the biggest things was the plastic dividers in between all of the games, and in addition to that there’s a service button for a guest to have their machine cleaned.” The facility has created more than 70 full-time jobs, and Pecorello said Newport Racing & Gaming will help bolster Kentucky’s horse racing industry. Revenue from the facility will be applied to Kentucky’s horse racing community, including the local Turfway Park in Florence. “Turfway Park has been around a long time, and it’s got a rich tradition of racing,” Pecorello said. “For us here to be able to provide some additional revenue in purses to help those who live oﬀ the racing industry, that attracts more competition and makes it a much better product for racing fans.”

players to bet on replays of horse races that have already been run. Even if you know the outcome you won’t have an advantage because the machines select the horses randomly, and the place of the pre-recorded races remains secret until after the bet is placed. Newport Racing & Gaming, which is expected to create 70 full-time equivalent jobs, will operate Monday-Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. The facility is opening just in time for the Preakness Stakes on Saturday and the Breeders’ Cup, held Nov. 6-7. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the facility will open under capacity restrictions in compliance with state and local requirements as well as federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations.

one,” said Ridgell in an email to The Enquirer. Kenton County Police Chief Spike Jones told his offi cers to “wear their masks when it makes sense.” The vague guidance means it’s up to offi cers to decide when to wear a mask. Jones saw his offi cers wear masks into a grocery store to pick up lunch. He said he would also understand why an offi cer would take off their mask in a dangerous situation if the mask itself or fog on their glasses impaired their vision. “They really have to use their best judgment,” he said. “I wish it was more of a black and white situation for us, but it’s not.” Jones told The Enquirer that no one from the health department or the labor cabinet notifi ed him that people complained about his staff . He also encouraged people to call the department to report any maskless offi cer. “We’re still going to be here when you need us,” he said.

Revoked liquor licenses A Northern Kentucky bar owner’s appearance in a July viral video caused the state to suspend the restaurant’s liquor license for about seven weeks. It was one of two local bars that temporarily lost its liquor license. In the video, Patrick Townsend, owner of Town’s End Bar deﬁ ed the mask mandate and said “f*** you, we’re not wearing any masks.” The Kentucky Labor Cabinet got 45 complaints about the video. The liquor license was suspended just four days after the video aired, according to public records. The Enquirer could not reach Townsend before publication. He later apologized for his language, but not the mask deﬁ ance, according to FOX19. Dr. Steven J. Stack, Commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Public Health, said in the suspension order that The Town’s End was “clearly a danger to public health and welfare during a global pandemic” and could cause an “increase in number(sic) of cases of COVID- 19 in Kentucky.” The Town’s End liquor suspension was lifted Sept. 4, according to Sherelle Roberts, spokesperson for the Kentucky Cabinet for Public Protection.

In August, a shooting investigation at Legends Bar & Grill in Covington revealed COVID-19 health violations. The state stepped in and suspended its liquor license, according to public records. The suspension is still in place, according to Roberts. Police reviewed a security video that showed events leading up to the ﬁ ght that caused the shooting. The video revealed an employee poured liquor from a bottle’s spout directly into a patron’s mouth. The video also showed maskless employees. The owner of the bar could not be reached for comment.

Shut down crowded restaurants After people shared a microphone to sing karaoke at a Northern Kentucky bar, the state forced the bar to close. The karaoke party happened at Divine Waffl es & Weck in Bromley. It was one of the three restaurants in Northern Kentucky forced to temporarily close due to physical distancing or mask use violations. The cabinet warned the restaurant with a notice of defi ciency in August for no physical distancing and maskless patrons and workers. On Sept. 9, the state shut down the restaurant for physical distancing violations. The Waiting Room restaurant in Covington and Danyelle’s Bellevue Tavern in Bellevue were also shut down for physical distancing violations. The owner of Danyelle’s Bellevue Tavern declined to comment. The Enquirer could not reach the owners of Divine Waffl es & Weck and The Waiting Room before publication.

Crowded warehouses, businesses adjust after receiving complaints A Boone County warehouse worker

watched a co-worker spit in his or her hands to get a better grip on shared machinery. That Novolex paper bag manufacturer worker was “terrifi ed” to go into work. The break rooms, locker rooms and line to clock in were too crowded, the worker wrote. When a complaint met the Kentucky Labor Cabinet’s threshold to intervene, it sent out a notice of defi ciency to tell the companies what to fi x. Novolex got 15 complaints about its working conditions and a notice to make adjustments to its workplace, according to public records. There is no way to tell how many people submitted the complaints because they are anonymous. When Novolex got its notice in May, it had to fi x two things. Employees were in the break areas within six feet of each other without masks. And, employees were eating next to each other in the break areas. “Novolex takes the health and safety of our employees very seriously,” the company said in an emailed statement to The Enquirer. “The procedures we established at the start of the pandemic require that if an employee notifi es us they have tested positive we contact coworkers and if they have been exposed, we ask them to quarantine at home.” The company removed picnic tables outside so employees could not sit next to each other, marked social distancing spaces in that area and installed plexiglass dividers at the tables in the break room. Now, reminders are plastered on paychecks, newsletters and posters to remind employees of mask and social distancing requirements. Novolex wasn’t the only warehouse that received a notice of defi ciency. Six other companies received them, which are: 1 Conduent in Erlanger for not using face masks, hand sanitizer, health checks and social distancing. 2 Corporex in Covington for not having health checks. 3 DB Schenker in Florence for not using face masks and hand sanitizer. 4 Oriimec Corporation of America in Erlanger for not having a healthy at work offi cer. 5 Waltex in Walton for not using face masks. 6 ABB Optical in Erlanger for not using face masks. None of those companies were shut down, which means they fi xed what the

labor cabinet cited them for. Over 50 complaints were submitted to the Kentucky Labor Cabinet about the working conditions at Northern Kentucky’s Amazon warehouse locations in Boone County. In May, a worker held a protest over the conditions and asked for more sanitization supplies. The company wasn’t cited by the state for COVID-19 violations, according to public records. “Nothing is more important than the health and well-being of our employees, and we are doing everything we can to keep them as safe as possible,” said Amazon spokesperson Maria Boschetti in an emailed statement to The Enquirer.

Community COVID-19 complaints, backyard parties Many other complaints detailed anything from crowded house parties to grocery shoppers getting too close in the checkout line. House party concerns should be dealt with by local law enforcement, said Northern Kentucky Health Department Director of Environmental Health and Safety Steven Divine in an emailed statement to The Enquirer. Other times, the health department will step in by issuing face mask violations with a fi ne of up to $100 for fourth off enses. Since the end of August, the Northern Kentucky Health Department gave out 40 face mask violation citations to businesses the health department gives permits to, such as restaurants. Three of the citations were second off ense notices and came with a $50 fi ne. The fi rst citations don’t come with a fi ne. “The hope is that people take simple steps to help protect themselves, their families, and others who they may come into contact with as they go about their day,” Divine said. “Protect yourself by following safe practices and staying away from those who don’t.” Julia Fair is the Northern Kentucky government reporter through the Report For America program.

Judge partially blocks construction on Beverly Hills Supper Club site development tions about the memorial were ongoing. They also claimed the developers misrepresented the cabaret room location and wouldn’t conduct a survey to ﬁ nd the room’s location. Southgate disputed the lawsuit’s claims, the city said it was “blindsided” by it and the developers said the suit would only delay the placement of a memorial.

Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Oct. 6. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates. Construction temporarily stopped Oct. 6 on a portion of the $65 million mixed-use development poised to transform the former site of the Beverly Hills Supper Club. The project, Memorial Point, is expected to have an assisted living center, apartments, homes – and a permanent memorial honoring the victims of the 1977 Memorial Day weekend fi re that killed 165 and injured more than 200. Campbell County Circuit Court Judge Daniel Zalla issued a temporary restraining order on part of the project, which will delay construction. The descendants asked for the order on Oct. 1., according to court records. Judge Zalla wrote the developers are barred from construction in and around “the burial ground” according to court documents. That means one to two acres where the 54,000 square foot club was located is off -limits for construction, said attorney Steven Megerle, the descendants’ attorney. Construction may continue on the rest of the 77-acre development. The former cabaret room in the club is the center of the disagreements between developers and fi re victim descendants. Descendants want a memorial at the site, where most people died the night of the fi re. Developers have plans to put a homeowner association controlled park there, and a memorial along U.S. 27. On Sept. 18. the descendants’ attorneys, Megerle and Todd McMurtry fi led a lawsuit against the Southgate city

council, the Campbell County planning and zoning commission, and the developers, Edgewood, Ky.-based construction ﬁ rm Ashley Builders and Cincinnati-based Vision Realty Group. The suit in Campbell County Circuit Court claimed the former cabaret room area should be barred from construction because it should be a burial ground. The judge wrote the injunction was necessary to “preserve the burial ground,” according to court documents. Ashley Development Group expects the restraining order to be “terminated” when it presents its facts to the court, it said in a statement emailed to The Enquirer.

The lawsuit In the lawsuit, The attorneys: h Asked the court to rescind the zone change the developers got from Southgate. h Pointed to procedural grievances, such as the wrong name appearing on the zone change application and the way the Campbell County zoning commission held its public hearing. h Claimed the descendants weren’t given an opportunity to ask the developer questions.

In May, the Southgate city council joined with developers agreeing to develop the land into a mix-used development. The developers got the zone change needed for the project and the Southgate city council gave it the ﬁ nal approval in August. The descendants have gathered to speak at zoning and city council meetings in matching shirts and face masks that read “Beverly Hills respect the dead.” Along the way, the descendants continued to ask the developers to: h Build a memorial at the former site of the cabaret room. h Survey the area for human remains The developers have insisted all remains have been recovered, according to a previous Enquirer article. They also said they would stop construction if any human remains were found until they could be interred.

Root vegetable and chickpea tagine is a ‘ﬁ lling, healthful’ meal Chick pea and root vegetable tagine. PHOTOS

Our garden is gourd and winter squash central for family, neighbors and friends. The little ones love to explore the vines holding these autumn treasures. During a recent hunt, granddaughters Ellery, Eva and Emerson found what they claimed was a new kind of gourd. Not so. They found edible tan honey nut squash, a very small member of the large butternut squash family. I planted seeds in June and somehow the honey nut squash vines wound up tangling with ornamental gourds. Honey nut butternut squash is easy to prepare. The peel is tender so I leave it on. Seeds are small enough to leave in. The perfect butternut to include in this warming vegetarian tagine recipe. I fi rst tasted this stew during a winter Turner Farms, Indian Hill (turnerfarm.org) culinary class on sources of anti-infl ammatory, fi ber fi lled plant foods and herbs. Topped with a spicy yogurt herb sauce, this stew is a fi lling, healthful and delish meal. I adapted their recipes only slightly.

When, where, and how to vote early Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Oct. 11. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates. For the fi rst time ever, early in-person voting for every Kentucky voter began Oct. 13. The state’s pandemic election plan announced in August provides Kentucky voters an opportunity to vote early in-person Oct. 13 through Nov. 2. The emergency regulation aimed to reduce COVID-19 exposure to voters and poll workers. The result: Kentuckians have more options and more time to vote than ever before. There are three options: early by absentee ballot, early in-person, and inperson on Election Day. Before the coronavirus pandemic, Kentucky was one of nine states that didn’t off er early no-fault voting. You do not need an absentee ballot to vote early in-person. All you need to do is show up. But, where and when you can vote early varies throughout Northern Kentucky. Here are some important dates to know: h Oct. 13 – Early in-person voting starts and runs Monday-Saturday up to Election Day. h Nov. 3 – Election Day. All absentee ballots must be postmarked by this day. h Nov. 6 – The day by which all absentee ballots must be received by the county clerk in order for them to count. If you plan to vote early in-person, here’s what you need to know:

Campbell County Campbell County will have one location for early in-person voting. Location: h Campbell County Administration Building at 1098 Monmouth Street in Newport. Hours: h Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m.

to 4 p.m. h The last three Saturdays before Election Day Oct. 17, 24 and 31, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Can I vote in-person if I requested an absentee ballot? Yes, but only if you did not receive your requested ballot by Oct. 28, said Kenton County Clerk Gabrielle Summe. If that happens, voters must call the local clerk to cancel the ballot. Then, they may vote early in-person or on Election Day. Otherwise, voters must mail-in or drop oﬀ the requested absentee ballot at a secure dropbox. Julia Fair is the Northern Kentucky government reporter through the Report For America program.

SPORTS Raiders shut down Camels, 21-7 James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Ryle has had one of the toughest schedules in Northern Kentucky so far this football season, and a young Raiders team has been working to fi nd its way. The Raiders found some answers Friday night in beating Campbell County 21-7 at Ryle’s home, Borland Stadium. Both teams left the stadium with a 2-3 record in the Class 6A, District 6 opener for both teams. Ryle had lost to Highlands, Beechwood and Scott County after a seasonopening win over Boone County. Against Scott County, a perennial bigschool power, the Raiders lost the lead in the fourth quarter before falling 28-18. “We had a chance to beat them last week. We had a chance to go up 11 in the fourth quarter and then we fumbled on the 6,” said Ryle head coach Mike Engler. “We have a lot of young players and we’re getting better every week. It’s just growing up. We’ve had to take some lumps. We didn’t have a summer to prepare. We really didn’t know who we were and what our identity was, and it took us our fi rst three to four games to fi gure out who we are.” Leading the way was senior quarterback Bradyn Lyons, who threw for 144 yards and two touchdowns to senior Jackson McGinnis in the fi rst half, and rushed for a 34-yard score in the third quarter to put Ryle up by two touchdowns. “It was a great team eff ort,” Lyons said. “All the props to my wide receivers and o-line. It was a great defensive effort. All-around great team game. We just executed what we did in practice all week, and we knew how to beat their defenders.” Lyons was the starting QB last year but missed most of the season to injury. “He’s been playing well,” Engler said. “He played well last week and has played well most of the year. He has made some young mistakes. He’s just now picking up that experience and do what we thought he could do.” Ryle took the opening kickoff and scored less than four minutes into the game. Lyons completed all seven of his pass attempts, to four diff erent receivers, fi nding McGinnis for a 10-yard score. Ryle botched the snap on the extra point, and it was 6-0. Campbell came right back and scored in the fi nal minute of the fi rst quarter. Senior Justin Little completed four of his fi rst fi ve passes, and a 24-yard run by senior Crosley Gray set up the Camels’ only TD of the game. Little found sophomore Eric Davie wide-open in the endzone for a 5-yard score. Josh Rittinger’s PAT gave the Camels a 7-6 lead. The teams traded punts on four straight possessions until Ryle junior TJ Pierson recovered a Camels fumble at the Campbell County 33. Campbell junior Preston Agee stopped the threat with his second interception of the half. Ryle got the ball back at its own 27 with less than two minutes to go in the

half. Lyons threw a 20-yard pass to McGinnis, who tiptoed the sideline as he caught it at the Campbell 7. The pair connected again on the next play for a TD with 12 seconds to go in the half. McGinnis had six catches for 60 yards. The teams started the second half with three straight punts. Senior Franklin Rogers gave the Raiders a lift with a

54-yard punt to the Campbell 10. The Camels went three and out, and punted only 24 yards to its own 34. On third down on Ryle’s next drive, Lyons scrambled to the right sideline and scored Ryle’s third TD of the game. Campbell’s best scoring threat after that was thwarted by senior Mathias Cusick, who intercepted a pass at the

goal line early in the fourth quarter. Two big punts by Rogers the rest of the way kept the Camels from mounting a charge. “Our defense stepped up and played well,” Engler said. “Sometimes you got to see what they’re doing oﬀ ensively See RAIDERS, Page 2B

Cooper girls golf ﬁ nishes 5th in state tourney James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Highlands gofler Justin Gabbard after one of his 2018 wins. THANKS TO TARA GABBARD

Northern Kentucky has only had two individual champions in the KHSAA boys golf tournament, none since Boone County's Bruce Oldendick won in 1982, 38 years ago. The area narrowly missed another as Cooper High School junior Rylan Wotherspoon fi nished second in the state tournament Oct. 7 in Bowling Green. Wotherspoon, the Region 7 champion, shot a 3-under 141 for the tournament, including 73 on Oct. 7. He tied with Marshall County senior Jay Nimmo. Nimmo, a senior who has committed to Mississippi State University, made par on the fi rst playoff hole to wrap up his second straight championship. Wotherspoon shot a 73 on Oct. 7 after shooting a 68 on Oct. 6. After a bogeyfree 68 with four birdies, the Cooper junior had two bogies and a double-bogey

6 on the 15th hole Oct. 7, but he birdied 18 to fi nish 3-under. The Northern Kentucky area had four golfers in the top 10. Justin Gabbard of Highlands tied for fi fth with a 1-under 143. He shot a 68 on Oct. 7, four strokes better than anyone else in the fi eld. Ian Asch of Covington Catholic tied for eighth with a 4-over 148. Tyler Mitts of Grant County tied for 10th with 149. St. Henry’s Ryan Butler tied for 21st with 153. Conner’s Evan Stewart tied for 24th with 154. Walton-Verona senior Barry Alexander tied for 53rd with 163. Highlands fi nished sixth in the team standings, led by Gabbard. Joel Craft shot 169, Jack Schneider 176 and Hank Shick 194. Senior Luke Muller shot 156 but his 77 on Tuesday was discarded because of a scorecard error. St. Henry fi nished ninth in the state. Besides Butler’s 153, Gabe Ryan shot 167, Mason Butler 169, Matt Schaefer 188 and

Evan Taylor 199. The girls state tournament fi nished Oct. 10, with the Cooper Jaguars leading the way. Cooper fi nished fi fth in the team standings with a 678 (341-337). Reagan Ramage shot 159 (79-80), Eva Maley 162 (81-81), Kendall Brissey 166 (82-84), Skylar Anderson 196 (104-92) and Jalena Hardcorn 201 (99-102). Hardcorn's round counted in the top four on Oct. 9 and Anderson's on Oct. 10. Grant County fi nished tied for seventh with 720 (356-364). Maddi Hudson shot 160, Laura Tatum 184, Lydia Smith 187, Victoria Camacho 193 and Anna Slaughter 196. Ramage, the Region 7 individual champion, had the best local fi nish, tying for 21st. Hudson, the Region 8 champ, tied for 26th. Maley tied for 32nd and Brissey tied for 42nd. KJ Toole from Highlands was the See GOLF, Page 2B

The deaths of baseball greats Lou Brock, Tom Seaver and Al Kaline got Johnny Bench thinking about the future and the prospect of unloading memorabilia from his Hall of Fame career. He had seen Bob Gibson and Ozzie Smith sell their collectibles. Bench checked out items from Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully’s recent online auction. “You wonder, what is the best thing to do?” Bench recently said by phone. “Who does it go to?” Bench reaped the rewards of a 17year career catching with the Cincinnati Reds: two World Series titles, 14 All-Star selections, two National League MVP awards, multiple Gold Gloves. He was leader of the Big Red Machine that won six division tiles and four NL pennants in the mid-1970s. He lives in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, with 30-year-old son Bobby and sons Justin, 14, and Josh, 11, from Bench’s fourth marriage. The younger boys are with him 38 weeks of the year, keeping Bench busy as a single father cooking, grocery shopping, helping with homework and shuttling them to activities. They spend the rest of the time in California with their mother. Bench’s items will be auctioned live on Nov. 14 at the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory in Kentucky. A public preview will be held at the museum on Nov. 12-13. The sale is being handled by Hunt Auctions, the same Pennsylvania company that recently sold Scully’s memorabilia, which earned over $2 million.

This photo provided by Hunt Auctions shows the National League championship ring that Cincinnati Reds catcher Johnny Bench received for the 1970 season. Bench has decided to sell memorabilia from his Hall of Fame career with the Reds. HUNT AUCTIONS VIA AP

Bench’s trophies from the Reds’ World Series championships in 1975 and ‘76 carry an estimated price of $25,000 to $50,000 each. His National League championship ring from 1970 and his 1968 NL Rookie of the Year award are estimated in the same price range. The bat Bench used to hit his 389th and last home run in 1983 is estimated between $10,000 and $20,000. Among the over 150 lots are his Gold Glove awards from 1969-77, a Reds home jersey from 1983, his catcher’s mitt from the 1970s, and a painting of Bench by LeRoy Neiman. Bench plans to use the proceeds to fund his younger kids’ college educations.

The grants continue a year of quarterly meetings in 2020 that will bring upwards of $25,000 in giving by community members. “Our members have again shown their responsiveness to Northern Kentucky needs,” said Horizon Community Funds President Nancy Grayson. “These organizations both serve extremely vulnerable populations in our community- populations that get hit twice as hard in times of crisis. We thank our Give Where You Live NKY members, who are the collective engine behind these gifts to our nonproﬁ ts.” Give Where You Live NKY is a joint initiative presented by Horizon Com-

munity Funds of Northern Kentucky and Mueller Financial, Inc., and its format lends itself to busy community members who are looking for an easy way to give back to nonproﬁ ts that serve Boone, Campbell, and Kenton counties. “It was amazing to see the generous spirit of our Give Where You Live NKY members on full display, despite the challenging times we all face,” said Mueller Financial Partner and Give Where You Live NKY Cofounder Woody Mueller. “Give Where You Live NKY understands that the needs of our community do not stop, and we were are proud to have awarded these funds to Covington Partners and the Barracks Project.” The remaining 2020 Give Where You Live NKY meeting will be held on Thursday, Dec. 10. Meetings for 2021 will be announced at the Dec. 10 meeting. “We thank Give Where You Live NKY and its members for choosing The Barracks Project for this award,” said Founder and President Felicia Huesman. “This gift will have a substantial impact, as it puts more doors in frames, and more strong roofs overhead for North-

ern Kentucky’s vulnerable veterans. As we approach colder months, gifts like this become even more imperative for the health and safety of our community’s veterans. Thank you to all those who contribute and volunteer to make our mission success possible, and to continue to support the lives that fought for ours.” The giving circle runs on a tight schedule at each meeting. Participating members nominate a nonprofi t of their choice, and three names are randomly selected and briefl y discussed by the group. The members then vote on their favorite of the three organizations, and each member contributes $100 for the grant to the winning organization. All takes place in under an hour, just four times per year. “Covington Partners is grateful for the support from Give Where You Live NKY,” said Executive Director Stacie Strotman. “We are continuing to fi nd ways to provide high-quality programming virtually as needed and eliminate the digital divide that will have long lasting eff ects for our most vulnerable populations. Support from the local community is the most eff ective way to ensure our vision of all students realizing the promise of their full potential becomes a reality.” The format of Give Where You Live NKY also provides a way to connect funds to nonprofi ts without the need for nonprofi ts to expend fi nancial resources and staff time on fundraising. The previous winners of Give Where You Live grants were The Scheben Care Center in Florence; The Gateway Community and Technical College Foundation, which has campus sites across Northern Kentucky; Lucky Tales Rescue in Fort Thomas; Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library in Covington; Northern Kentucky Children’s Advocacy Center in Florence; Family Nurturing Center in Florence; and, GO Pantry in Florence. The community can get involved by reaching out to Tess Brown at tbrown@horizonfunds.org or 859.620.8221, or by visiting www.nkygives.org. Learn more at www.horizonfunds.org.

Freezing your harvest With much of the year’s fresh produce ready to harvest, it is time to start thinking about what to do with the excess fruits and vegetables from your garden. While you may immediately think of canning these foods, freezing is also a good way to preserve most fresh foods. Freezing keeps the natural color, ﬂ avor and nutritional value of most produce. To freeze foods, you must store them at temperatures at or below zero degrees F to prevent the growth of microorganisms that cause food to spoil and food-borne illness. Ideally, you should freeze produce when it is at its peak of freshness and quality. It is also very important to always wash fruits and vegetables before freezing. You can freeze many fruits and vegetables. In fact, some of the easiest vegetables to freeze like corn, peas and green beans, are some of the most diﬃ cult to properly can. Some produce cannot be frozen as the freezing process can make them mushy, waterlogged, tough or soggy.

These include cabbage, lettuce, cucumbers, radishes and celery. Vegetables with high starch content like potatoes and mature lima beans, do not freeze well either. Shell eggs and milk-based foods also do not freeze well. Spices and herbs should not be frozen as it can cause them to develop an off fl avor. You will need to blanch most vegetables before packaging, as this process slows the enzymes that cause vegetables to continue to mature. If the vegetables are not blanched before they are frozen, the enzymes will cause the produce to lose color and fl avor. After blanching, quickly cool the vegetables with cold water or ice water to stop the cooking process. While sweetening is not necessary to freeze fruit, most will have better fl avor and texture if they are packed in sugar or syrup. Depending on your intended use for the fruit, you can pack it in syrup, dry sugar or unsweetened. Fruits packed in syrup are best for desserts while those packed in dry sugar or unsweetened are best used for cooking as they contain less liquid.

Package produce in containers appropriate for freezer storage. Some stores will have containers that say this on their labels, but in general, freezersafe containers are moisture-vapor resistant, leak-proof, durable, resistant to oil and easy to seal and label. Be mindful of headspace when packaging foods. Loosely packaged vegetables like corn on the cob, asparagus, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, cauliﬂ ower and hot peppers need no head space. All other vegetables need one-half inch head space. Depending on the type of container you use and whether you use a liquid in your fruits, you will need to leave between one-half inch to 1 inch of headspace in the container. After packaging, seal, label and freeze immediately. When you decide to thaw frozen produce, you should handle it like any other perishable product. Thoroughly cook the produce to kill any microorganisms or parasites that may have been present in the food. Kate Vaught Thompson, Campbell County Cooperative Extension Service

OFFICIAL PUBLICATION INVITATION TO BID Date: September 3, 2020, September 24, 2020, October 15, 2020 PROJECT: Meter Reading System Replacement (WX21117007) SEALED BID PROPOSALS WILL BE RECEIVED AT: Northern Kentucky Water District (NKWD) 2835 Crescent Springs Rd. P.O. Box 18640 Erlanger, Kentucky 41018 UNTIL: Date: October 8, 2020 for City of Florence Bid Items Only Time: 2:00 p.m., local time UNTIL: Date: November 5, 2020 for Northern Kentucky Water District Bid Items Only Time: 2:00 p.m., local time At said place and time, and promptly thereafter, all Bid Proposals that have been duly received will be publicly opened and read aloud. Entities on the registered list of plan holders will be sent a link to attend the virtual bid openings. The public may access the virtual bid openings by calling Barry Miller at (859) 578-7892 to get the meeting number and password. The proposed services are generally described as follows: Provide and install all required equipment, licenses, hardware, and software to implement a system-wide meter reading system to replace the existing Automated Meter Reading (AMR) system for the Northern Kentucky Water District (District) and the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system for the City of Florence (City) (and referred to individually as “Owner” and collectively as “Owners”) to record and transmit meter readings for all of the Owners’ customers. The system must be a radio frequency based system employing mobile radio, fixed radio, cellular, or a combination of these technologies. Services will include installation, training, and post-installation support. A bidder may submit bids for multiple meter reading systems. For example, a bidder may submit a bid for a mobile system, for a fixed system, and for a hybrid system. The Bidder’s bid must include a deployment plan that demonstrates compliance with the requirements as defined in the Technical Specifications section. The District has approximately 85,500 water service meters. The majority of these are read quarterly using a Badger mobile AMR system. Meters consist primarily of Badger Recordall and Neptune T10 models, but also include Badger eSeries, Master Meter Octave, Neptune Mach10, Zenner, Sensus SRII, and AMCO models. The current meter interface units (Badger model CE) are no longer manufactured by the vendor. Therefore, the District desires to replace its existing AMR system by implementing a utility-wide meter reading system, to be deployed over a period of 24 months. The City currently has approximately 8,775 water meters, which are read using a Mueller AMI system. Through this procurement, the City intends to replace the existing AMI with a new AMI meter reading system which will provide enhanced reliability and functionality. The City’s deployment is expected to be completed over a period of 12 months. Liquidated damages shall be assessed at $750 per calendar day past substantial completion and $500 per calendar day past final completion. All Bids must be in accordance with the Bidding Documents. Copies of the Bidding Documents may be obtained by contacting Denise Manning at 859-426-2718. There is no charge for these documents. A virtual pre-bid meeting will be held on October 16th, 2020 at 10:30 a.m. Prospective bidders are not required to attend, although attendance is encouraged. The possibility of funding the project through a Kentucky Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) will be discussed along with the additional requirements this funding source brings. Attendees will also be afforded the opportunity to ask additional questions. Outside of the scheduled pre-bid meeting, all inquiries must be submitted in writing to Barry Miller with Northern Kentucky Water District, ema il:bmiller@nkywater.org before the COB on October 22, 2020. All responses as well as the pre-bid meeting minutes will be provided by addendum. Site visits may be accommodated upon request but are not guaranteed. Requests for the Northern Kentucky Water District can be made by contacting Barry Miller at (859) 578-7892. Requests for the City of Florence can be made by contacting Ryan Sullivan at (859) 647-5416. Bidders must provide its own personnel protective equipment. Bids will be received on a unit price basis as described in the Bidding Documents.

The Successful Bidder for the District will be required to furnish a Construction Payment Bond and a Construction Performance Bond (insuring/bonding company shall be rated “A” by AM Best) as security for the faithful performance of the contract and the payment of all bills and obligations arising from the performance of the Contract with the District.

The Bidder’s Organization Number from the Kentucky’s Secretary of State and principal place of business as filed with Kentucky’s Secretary of State must be included where applicable. Owners reserve the right to reject any or all Bids, including without limitation the right to reject any or all nonconforming, non-responsive, incomplete, unbalanced, or conditional Bids, to waive informalities, to reject the Bid of any Bidder if Owners believe that it would not be in the best interest of Owners to make an award to that Bidder, and/or to accept a Bid that is deemed the most desirable and advantageous from the standpoint of customer value and service and concept of operations, even though such bid may not, on its face, appear to be the lowest price. Owner also reserves the right to negotiate with the apparent Successful Bidder to such an extent as may be determined by Owner. Note that the District and the City will enter into separate contracts with the Successful Bidder, selecting the options and quantities that are most advantageous to each agency. Both agencies’ Agreement Forms are attachments to this solicitation. If there are tangible benefits to both Owners implementing the same system, Bidders should provide that information where prompted in the bid forms and their responses to the Technical Specifications. Note also that the District and the City reserve the right to select and contract with different Bidders. Small, Minority, and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises are encouraged to bid on this project.

If a Contract is to be awarded, the Owners will give the Successful Bidder a Notice of Award during the period of time which the Successful Bidder’s Bid remains subject to acceptance. Note that the Owners do not anticipate requiring a full year for acceptance of this bid; however, potentially timeconsuming required activities include approval by the Kentucky Public Service Commission, the District’s Board, and the City’s Council. Award of the Contract(s) will be made to the lowest, responsive, responsible bidder in accordance with Article 15, Award of Contract, specified in the Instructions to Bidders.
