Anderson Ferry ﬂ oats on during Brent Spence Bridge closure

| USA TODAY NETWORK

n a clear, calm Thursday afternoon, Captain John James guides the Boone No. 9 back and forth across the murky-green Ohio River. h James makes about nine trips every hour in the diesel-fueled ferryboat, carrying passengers from his hometown of Constance, Kentucky to the banks of Delhi Township. h “A day like this, it’s a beautiful day. You couldn’t ask for better than this,” said James, who’s been working for Anderson Ferry on and oﬀ for about 36 years. h An early afternoon usually sees about three or four cars board the ferry at a time, he said. But with the Brent Spence Bridge under repair, the ferry is transporting as many as 15 cars each trip. h That’s the maximum number of passengers able to ﬁ t on the Boone No. 9, Anderson Ferry’s largest ferryboat, according to James.

‘Queen’s Gambit’ based on novel by Kentucky author Jeff Suess Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The popular Netﬂ ix series “The Queen’s Gambit,” starring Anya TaylorJoy as chess prodigy Beth Harmon, has renewed attention on the 1983 novel by the late Kentucky author Walter Tevis on which the show is based. “The Queen’s Gambit” tells the ﬁ ctional story of an orphan who struggles with drugs and alcohol as she strives to become the world’s greatest chess player. The novel was one of the last in Tevis’ distinguished writing career. He was living in Erlanger and teaching English and creative writing at the

University of Kentucky’s branch campus in Covington (before it broke off as Northern Kentucky University) in 1959 when he sold his fi rst novel, “The Hustler,” about pool hustler Fast Eddie. The novel was made into the 1961 fi lm starring Paul Newman and Jackie Gleason. Tevis, who was born in San Francisco, moved to Lexington when he was 10 and learned to play pool with a friend who had his own pool table at home. “Every day after school he and his friend played pool until they were ready to drop, and then frequently played chess afterwards for relaxation,” The Enquirer wrote in a 1959 feature on TeSee AUTHOR, Page 2A

vis. With the success of “The Hustler,” Tevis left teaching in order to write. His science-fi ction novel “The Man Who Fell to Earth,” published in 1963, and was made into the 1976 fi lm starring David Bowie. Tevis taught at Ohio University for several years, then returned to novel writing in the early 1980s when he published “The Queen’s Gambit,” and the “Hustler” sequel, “The Color of Money,” which was adapted by Martin Scorsese in his 1986 fi lm with Newman and Tom Cruise. Tevis died in 1984 just after “The Color of Money” was published. He is buried in Richmond, Kentucky.

The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Sunday that Gov. Andy Beshear’s executive order to cease all in-person school instruction in Kentucky can stand. This includes the instruction provided by religious schools. This latest decision overrules U.S. District Judge Gregory Van Tatenhove’s preliminary injunction issued Nov. 25 that allowed parochi-

“Right now, you can come at any time during the day and be lined up to the highway,” he said. The Brent Spence Bridge has been closed since Nov. 11, after a truck hauling potassium hydroxide and diesel fuel crashed into a jackknifed truck, causing a ﬁ re. And the closure of one of the region’s busiest transportation arteries has forced hundreds of thousands of Cincinnati-area drivers to search for a diﬀ erent route across the river. And many drivers are

al schools to continue classes. The Diocese of Covington schools had announced Saturday that in-person classes would resume Dec. 2. That return is now unlikely following Sunday’s ruling by the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Diocese of Covington has yet to release a statement regarding the ruling and oﬃ cials didn’t immediately respond to the Enquirer’s request for comment. Under Beshear’s exec-

utive order, middle schools and high schools will remain remote through the end of the semester in January. Elementary schools may reopen Dec. 7 if their county is not in the red zone and the school follows healthy at-school guidance. As of Sunday, all four Northern Kentucky counties are in the red zone. In the past three weeks, six of the diocese’s 37 schools had to temporarily cease in-person instruction, McGuire wrote in a letter to par-

choosing to take the ferry, once again turning the 200-year-old West Side mainstay into an interstate thoroughfare. Anderson Ferry usually transports anywhere from 400 to 500 cars per day, but since the bridge closure, that number has jumped to as many as 1,000 cars per day. James said it’s typical for business to pick up when any major interstate is under construction. “We have a lot of people that occasionally use the ferryboat when the traﬃ c is as bad as it is,” he said. “When you have a major problem on the highway and you happen to be out in, say, Erlanger

and you know there’s a wreck on the bridge, it’s just a short trip from Erlanger to the ferry.” Brandon Ingram, who’s worked for the past six years as a deckhand for Anderson Ferry, said he remembers it being busier when the Brent Spence Bridge was undergoing maintenance in 2017. But this is a close second, he added. “I’ve seen the cars backed up a lot worse than they get now. The downfall is we are not a bridge,” James said, adding that some people have grown frustrated by the longer than usual wait times. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has said the goal is to have the bridge back open before Christmas on Dec. 23. So, passengers on Anderson Ferry could be stuck with a longer wait for at least another month. “We’ll just do what we

ents on Saturday. Three of those schools lacked an adequate number of substitute teachers and the other three experienced an increase in the number of students in quarantine, she added. “Sadly, some of our school cases and quarantines could have been avoided if all of our families would have followed the protocols. Since we all truly desire to sustain inperson instruction then we must recommit ourselves to the protocols,” McGuire wrote. But the morning after

Beshear’s order, the diocese recorded zero positive cases of COVID-19 among students and staﬀ in 24 of its schools, she wrote. The diocese has been urging parents to keep children home from school if anyone in the household is experiencing symptoms of or has been exposed to COVID-19. Attending or hosting gatherings is also discouraged. Kentucky reported 2,437 new coronavirus cases and 14 new deaths on Saturday.

can. That’s all we can do,” Anderson Ferry Owner Paul Anderson told The Enquirer. “Eventually everything will be back to normal when the bridge and the pandemic work out, and everybody will have a smile on their

face.” But James, who’s looking to retire in May, said he’s undaunted by the recent inﬂ ux of passengers. “Whether it’s one car or 15 cars, my job stays pretty much the same.”

The holidays are inching closer, which means Santa Claus is coming to town. Everyone’s favorite resident of the North Pole won’t be bringing COVID-19 when he visits houses on Christmas. At least, that’s the word from Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious disease expert. “Santa is exempt from this because Santa, of all the good qualities, has a lot of good innate immunity,” Fauci told USA TODAY this week.

VIEWPOINTS Northern Kentucky, go pound sand. We won’t pay for Brent Spence Bridge Your Turn Joseph Gerth Guest columnist

Dear Northern Kentucky, It’s rare that I think I can speak for the vast majority of those in the Louisville area, but your hand-wringing over the federal funds you believe are needed to replace the Brent Spence Bridge gives me that opportunity. Go pound sand! You’re going to need a lot of it, as it’s one of the primary components of the copious amounts of concrete you’re going to need to build a new bridge — something that has needed to be done for years. (The recent fi ery crash that has put the 60-year-old span out of commission for the next month or so drove home that point.) But you’re going to need to do it on your own. We, here in Louisville, are already paying for our two new bridges and we don’t recall you guys stepping up to help with the bills. No sir. In fact, it’s you guys who keep electing Republicans like U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie, who votes against funding for virtually everything including money to help Americans recover from natural disasters like fl oods, tornados and hurricanes. Heck, he even voted against the CARES Act funding to help people deal with the fallout from the coronavirus pandemic. But it’s not just him. And it’s just not his specifi c votes on things like emergency funding. It’s this whole idea that taxes are bad

that has swept the country — and particularly the Republican Party, which so many of you support — ever since Ronald Reagan was president. You, and the people you vote for, like Sens. Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul are exactly why there is no money to build a new span across the river. Don’t believe me? How’s this for you? When the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956 passed, it paid for creating and maintaining the interstate highway system by raising the federal excise tax on gasoline from 2 cents to 3 cents per gallon. Over the years, the tax was occasionally increased to account for inﬂ ation. Until 1993. That’s the last year Congress voted to increase the tax, upping it to 18.4 cents per gallon. That's where the tax remains. When you account for inﬂ ation, we’re paying way less than we were after passage of the 1956 law. But what is really incredible is, we are paying 0.75 cents less per gallon now than we were before the law funding the highway system passed. To match the 1956 tax rate, the current rate would be 28.72 cents per gallon. To match the 1993 tax rate, we would have to raise the tax rate to 33.34 cents per gallon. What makes it even worse is the proliferation of electric and hybrid cars and trucks that pay little or no gasoline tax at all, all the while causing the same congestion and wear and tear as gaspowered vehicles. We once had the best highways in the world after President Dwight Eisenhower, a Republican, mind you, pushed

through a tax increase to pay for them. Now, we’ve let our roads fall into disrepair and our bridges crumble because Congress, so often led by Republican anti-tax zealots, have refused to raise the money needed to repair and upgrade our interstate highways. Instead, the federal government has pushed the paltry sums raised by the antiquated tax rate to the states in block grants and told us we’d have to fi nd the majority of funds needed to build mega projects on our own. After fi ghting for tolls for years, we in Louisville fi nally gave in. That’s something you, my dear friends in Northern Kentucky, must do. It’s something that you must get your politicians — both Republican and Democrat to do — if you want the bridge replaced before it topples into the Ohio River. That’s why people in Louisville and in Southern Indiana are now paying $4.31 each time they take their car across one of the toll bridges. And that’s why you will have to do the same. If you don’t like that, elect people who will impose a reasonable tax rate that allows the federal government to repair and replace our aging interstate system. Once you do that, we’ll be happy to help pay for your new Ohio River bridge. Just so long as you pay off the debt on our bridges fi rst.

Feds: Cincinnati man gets 16 years for drug traﬃ cking Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A Cincinnati man was sentenced in Covington on Nov. 23 to 16 years in prison after offi cials said they seized over 26 grams of methamphetamine from his car last October. Dontez Justice, 33, pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine in August. He faced a minimum of 10 years prison time for the charges. Justice has two prior drug traffi cking convictions, according to a release from the U.S. Department of Justice. He was previously convicted on traffi cking in cocaine in Campbell and Kenton coun-

ties. The release states a cooperating source working with the Drug Enforcement Administration arranged a purchase of methamphetamine from Justice on Oct. 17, 2019. Law enforcement offi cers conducted a traffi c stop and found methamphetamine in Justice's car, seizing 26.3 grams of the drug. The release states Justice admitted he was en route to deliver the methamphetamine when the traffi c stop was conducted. Under federal law, Justice must serve 85% of his prison sentence and will be on probation for eight years following his release, offi cials said.

I am a freelance writer and am not tied to any news organization beyond the assignments given, but Tuch has been so kind as to carbon copy me on every one of his responses to Eye On Ohio – the nonprofi t news organization that sued ODH for access to hospital data as a public record. I happened to be one of the writers on that story, so I was cc’d on the request. After a seven-months-long court battle, Ohio Court of Claims ruled on Nov. 20 that ODH must share public records with Eye on Ohio, showing the number of beds and ventilators available for COVID-19 patients at individual hospitals throughout the state. Tuch delivered data through Oct. 30 following the court ruling but continues to drag his feet to deliver current information that would prove helpful as we collectively cope in a health crisis. "ODH does not honor standing requests for records," Tuch wrote on Nov. 17. "You are entitled to make whatever records request you wish at whatever frequency you desire. ODH will respond to each request within a reasonable time." Without any fl exibility or appreciation for the crisis at hand, the Ohio Department of Health would rather argue over semantics and force journalists to submit a separate public records request for each and every day of this pandemic and then force their already overburdened department to respond to these individual requests than to set up an ongoing system to communicate important hospital records to the public so communities have a chance of coping with care choices for those who fall critically ill. It seems ODH strives to fi nd the most diffi cult route for working together. Otherwise, we may have a fi ghting chance against the virus to save lives if the very department set up to protect us actually behaved in a way that demonstrated they cared. Instead, Tuch feigns confusion, and he’s combative. On Nov. 19 he wrote: "ODH acknowledges your request for additional information. However, your request is somewhat diffi cult to understand. You previously made a request for Nov. 17 data. And it appears you are requesting Nov. 19 data. Are you altering or amending your previous request? Can you be more specifi c as to dates you are requesting? Once clarifi ed, ODH will respond within a reasonable time."

The public wants information EVERY SINGLE DAY, he knows this, and he ﬂ at out has no interest in providing the public with hospital data that could save lives. That’s no exaggeration. Ohio systems are overwhelmed by COVID-19 cases. Columbus just turned the dreaded color of purple on the severity map, and Ohio continues to hit record numbers of positive cases. What could possibly be the motive for keeping this data from public reach? Press Secretary Melanie Amato is also cc’d on these emails so she must also be OK with this kind of inﬁ ghting during a national health crisis. Meanwhile, Gov. Mike Dewine assures us during live updates that, "There is no reason why we can’t release that that I am aware of. And I’m not sure exactly sure how we are going to release it. But we should be able to get that out. This is all data that we are getting from the hospitals around the state." This is the time for us to pull together and work through this crisis together. Transparency is key to a working relationship as well as public trust. Lack of transparency and what can only be called secrecy, fuels distrust and misinformation. Conclusions can only be drawn to say that ODH either: A.) does not have the data they claim to have; or B.) the state is in such dire circumstances that they don’t want Ohio residents to know. The courts ruled it is our right to know. It’s time to stop stalling, Tuch, and be part of the solution.

SPORTS Newport Central Catholic rolls over Ludlow Eli Feazell Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

NEWPORT - After getting blown out in two straight games, Newport Central Catholic was ready to bounce back for a playoff run. Just about everything went right for the Thoroughbreds on Friday night at Newport Stadium. Their off ense scored a touchdown on nearly every drive, their defense allowed only one score and there were even some big special teams moments in the game. The near-perfect execution led to NewCath advancing to the third round of the playoff s as it defeated Ludlow for the second time this season 45-7. One of the biggest concerns for New-

Cath heading into the game was Ludlow’s Braxton Newborn, one of the best rushers in Northern Kentucky. Newborn ran for 155 yards against the Thoroughbreds in the teams’ ﬁ rst matchup of the year. This time, while Newborn still had some highlights, Stephen Lickert’s NewCath team was able to keep him in check. “He’s as good as anybody we’ve played all year,” Lickert said. “He’s a fantastic running back, and he’s got a nice big line that blocks really well for him upfront. He was the key, but he’s not the only good player on their team. They’ve got some nice weapons.”

Covington Catholic rallies for playoﬀ win

Coach Horn has NKU knocking on door Charlie Goldsmith Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

He started by completing a 35-yard pass to Ethan Reardon. A few plays later, Jacob ran up the middle for a touchdown, and Covington Catholic never gave up the lead again. Jacob completed seven of his 16 passing attempts, but he threw for 108 yards. “We had to make some plays through the air, and you saw that on the second drive of the second half,” Eviston said. “That helps us loosen up a little bit. And it led us to some suc-

Darrin Horn thought he would at least reach out. Northern Kentucky basketball’s head coaching position was open in April, 2019. Horn, then an assistant coach at Texas, reached out to an old friend who had previously worked with NKU athletic director Ken Bothof. “If Ken is interested, I’d be interested in talking with him,” Horn told him. “If not, that’s fi ne too.” Two weeks later, the Norse hired Horn. In his fi rst season, Horn led NKU to a 23-9 record and the Horizon League Tournament championship. Last season, the Norse would have made the NCAA Tournament if it had taken place. NKU’s season started Nov. 25 against Ball State at BB&T Arena, and Horn said NKU has an even more talented team. “I knew before it was open that it was a job that I’d be interested in,” Horn said. “I didn’t want to come back and be a head coach just to be a head coach. I wanted to be somewhere where I had a chance to win.” Before hiring Horn, NKU was in the process of establishing itself as one of the best mid-major schools in college basketball. Between the 2016-2017 season and the 2018-19 season, former head coach John Brannen, now the head man at UC, led the Norse to a 7230 record, in addition to two NCAA Tournaments and one NIT berth. In the 2019 NCAA Tournament, NKU faced third-seeded Texas Tech, which eventually reached the national championship game. At halftime in the fi rst round, NKU trailed by only four points, and Texas Tech came away with a hard fought 72-57 victory. Bothof has been an athletic director for 18 years. He knows what happens when a mid-major coach has a team like NKU competing on the national stage. “It’s not like this was a total surprise,” Bothof said. “We knew there would be a great deal of interest in coach Brannen, so I had already started to identify people that I would have an interest in.” In a move that didn’t surprise Bothof, the Bearcats hired Brannen on April 14, 2019. Bothof was ready to conduct a national coaching search, and he already had a sense of what he was looking for. Between 2003-2008, Horn had posted a 111-48 record at Western Kentucky, leading the Hilltoppers to two regular season conference championships and one NCAA Tournament. He then became the head coach at South Carolina, where Horn won 60 games over four seasons and an SEC title. Horn was an assistant coach at Texas between 2015-2019, and had his sights on his next head coaching opportunity. “Your fi rst thought is if I can hire

Covington Catholic quarterback Caleb Jacob ﬁ nished with ﬁ ve rushing touchdowns and 96 rushing yards in the Colonels’ 38-21 win over Highlands on Friday. JIM OWENS FOR THE ENQUIRER Charlie Goldsmith Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Covington Catholic head coach Eddie Eviston has told quarterback Caleb Jacob throughout the season that the offense was going to run through him. But Eviston waited to unleash Jacob’s full potential until the Kentucky 5A district championship game. Using a game-plan that for the fi rst time featured Jacob’s running ability, Jacob fi nished with fi ve rushing touchdowns and 96 rushing yards in Covington Catholic’s 38-21 win over Highlands

on Friday. And the Colonels won the district title. “This season has been so weird that you’re still fi guring out what your offense’s identity is,” Eviston said. “We thought we’d run him a little bit more tonight as well as put it in the air more. He did a great job.” When the defending Kentucky 5A champions were in trouble on Friday, Covington Catholic turned to its veteran quarterback. In the middle of the third quarter, the Colonels trailed Highlands 14-10. Jacob helped the off ense fi nd its confi dence.

someone with successful head coaching experience,” Bothof said. “If those individuals are available, those are some of the fi rst ones that you look at.” This was when Horn reached out to Toledo head coach Tod Kowalczyk, who worked with Bothof at Green Bay. Quickly, Horn held a preliminary Zoom interview with Bothof, and then he traveled to Northern Kentucky for an interview. Bothof interviewed multiple candidates, but it only took 10 days for him to hire Horn. “Fortunately for me, they were looking for a head coach with experience to build on the great things (Brannen) and his staff had done,” Horn said. “What’s exciting is there was still a lot of room to grow.” The NKU team Horn inherited was already a Horizon League contender. But the Norse had just graduated forward Drew McDonald, NKU’s all-time leading scorer and the reigning Horizon League Player of the Year. Horn also wanted to implement a new-look off ense that would feature guards like Trevon Faulkner. “My off ense in my fi rst year with our old coach was diff erent,” Faulkner. “I love this off ense, and I love the way he lets us compete at a high level. There’s more cuts. It’s not just one player touching the ball. Everybody is getting a piece of the pie and is able to make plays.” During Horn’s fi rst season at NKU, the Norse hit the ground running. Featuring a four-guard starting lineup, the Norse had one of the four most effi cient off enses and defenses in the Horizon League. “It’s a positive to have a veteran team, but that can also cause some challenges since they’re used to playing a certain style,” Bothof said. “What (Horn) did extremely well was look at the talent that we had coming back and make some changes that fi t that talent. He got that group to buy into doing things a little diff erently.” Last season, Horn accomplished the baseline of success for a high achieving mid-major like NKU –– winning the conference tournament. Horn and his players have an idea of what they need to do next. The next step for the Norse is to win their fi rst postseason game in Division 1, and to win their fi rst game against a team from a major conference. NKU will have its fi rst opportunity for its fi rst program defi ning win on Dec. 6 at Butler. The Horizon League Tournament looms in March as NKU’s only opportunity to earn an NCAA Tournament berth. “At some point,” Horn said, “you have to do that to be able to take a step.”

With Ludlow’s off ense in check and NewCath’s off ense prepared, it didn’t take long for the Thoroughbreds to start their onslaught. On NewCath’s fi rst drive of the game, quarterback Malaki Herndon threw a beautiful 38-yard pass to Matthew Landrum, and that play was followed up by a 32-yard touchdown run by Joey Runyon to give the Thoroughbreds an early 7-0 lead. Runyon was NewCath’s primary scorer on Friday, getting the ball in the end zone three times. Ludlow was intercepted by Herndon on the next drive, and while the Panthers were at least able to prevent another touchdown, the Thoroughbreds still scored on a 45-yard fi eld goal from Sam Lavin. The rest of the fi rst half looked similar. Ludlow fumbled on its next drive, and NewCath capitalized on it when Runyon caught a 15-yard touchdown

Covington Catholic High School football will advance to the state ﬁ nal four without a game this week after the Kentucky High School Athletic Association announced their game with Madison Southern Friday was canceled. CovCath’s game with Madison Southern in a Class 5A regional ﬁ nal was announced as a forfeit by the KHSAA Monday afternoon. The Richmond Register, a newspaper that covers Madison Southern,

tweeted that “Because of COVID-19 issues, the Eagles have had to withdraw from the Class 5A playoff s.” Neither school had made an offi cial announcement as of 4 p.m. Monday. Madison Southern is the fi rst team to withdraw from the third round of the playoff s. Three teams forfeited their district championship games last week, including Bishop Brossart. More than 20 teams around the state opted out of entering the playoff s for the fi rst round, including local teams Campbell County, Holy Cross and Bellevue. CovCath defeated Madison Southern, 49-13, in the 2017 5A state champi-

onship game, and 49-9 last year in the state quarterfi nals en route to the 2019 state championship. CovCath is 54-2 overall since the beginning of the 2017 season. CovCath, now 10-1 overall, advances to the state semifi nals. The Colonels are ranked second in Class 5A in the KHSAA RPI ratings among teams still alive in the tournament, so CovCath will play at home next week regardless of the opponent. The Colonels’ opponent will be determined by the outcome of the other three state quarterfi nals played this weekend.

cess.” One possession later, Jacob tacked on another touchdown run. By the end of the game, he added two more scores, and the Colonels sprinted out to a 17-point lead late in the fourth quarter. “How the off ense goes is how the quarterback goes,” Eviston said. “I’m very proud of how (Jacob) stepped up and put the off ense on his shoulders tonight.” Covington Catholic came away with a victory over one of its biggest rivals. Even though the Colonels beat Highlands 42-0 earlier this season, Eviston said he expected a closer competition on Friday. He added that Highlands came out well coached, understanding what Covington Catholic's off ense wanted to

pass from Herndon. Runyon scored again later on a short run around the right side in the second quarter. After Ludlow fumbled again, NewCath scored its fi nal touchdown of the half when Herndon completed a 13-yard pass to Landrum. The Thoroughbreds went into halftime with a 31-0 lead and had pretty much secured their victory by that point. NewCath got the ball fi rst in the second half with a chance to go up by 38 points. It did just that when Buddy Atkins ran the ball 19 yards into the end zone on the second play of the half right after he completed a 30-yard run of his own. Ludlow wasn’t going to go home without putting some points on the board, however. On the next drive, Newborn fi nally scored an 11-yard touchdown run on the Panthers’ best drive of the night, in which Newborn had three fi rst-down runs in. The run was Ludlow’s only score of the game. The rest of the third quarter and the fourth quarter went by quickly when

do in the fi rst half. "You know it’s going to be a battle, and you know we’re going to get their very best," Eviston said. "They came out and did a great job." Highlands, which beat Conner 27-16 in the fi rst round of the playoff s, fi nishes the year with a 5-6 record. Quarterback

NewCath ran the clock down. The only other score was a touchdown pass from NewCath’s backups. After being blown out in its last two games against Beechwood and Holmes, it was critical for NewCath’s off ense to get back on track against Ludlow if it wanted to make a playoff run of any kind. Putting 45 points on the board isn’t a bad way to get a team’s confi dence back, not to mention that a dominant performance from the defense didn’t hurt either. Playing a familiar opponent gave NewCath a slight edge. “When you play a team once, you fi gure out what they’re all about,” Lickert said. “Schematically, you understand a little bit more about what they’re trying to do, who you really need to stop and who their guys are. Our kids just did a really good job preparing this week.” The KHSAA bracket lists NewCath’s next matchup as Kentucky Country Day, which defeated Eminence 57-13 Friday night, but the boys are likely headed to Louisville Holy Cross (6-1) for the third

Charlie Noon had 163 rushing yards on 26 carries, but as a passer he ﬁ nished 311 for 39 yards. “I was proud of our guys after we started out a little slow,” Eviston said. “Responding in that second half, we played championship football there towards the end.” CCH - Jacob, Caleb 1 yd run (Gronotte, Trey kick) HIGHLANDS - ROBINSON, DOMIN 2 yd run (BURLEIGH, DAVIS kick) CCH - Gronotte, Trey 27 yd ﬁ eld goal HIGHLANDS - NOON, CHARLIE 14 yd run (BURLEIGH, DAVIS kick) CCH - Jacob, Caleb 19 yd run (Gronotte, Trey kick) CCH - Jacob, Caleb 8 yd run (Gronotte, Trey kick) CCH - Jacob, Caleb 12 yd run (Gronotte, Trey kick) CCH - Jacob, Caleb 4 yd run (Gronotte, Trey kick) HIGHLANDS - FAHLBUSCH, JAKE 13 yd pass from NOON, CHARLIE (BURLEIGH, DAVIS kick)

COMMUNITY NEWS Burn survivor Kilee Brookbank donates nearly $50,000 to Shriners Hospitals Author, burn survivor and Xavier University graduate Kilee Brookbank presented a check for $43,931 to Shriners Hospitals for ChildrenCincinnati on Tuesday, Nov. 10, bringing her total contributions to the hospital to nearly $344,000 since 2015. The check presentation also marked the sixth anniversary of the day Brookbank, now 22, suffered second- and thirddegree burns in the ﬁ re that destroyed her Georgetown home. “Six years ago, I never would have imagined how my life would change,” said Brookbank, who now lives in Newport. “But I will always be grateful to Shriners for giving me a second chance at life. Thanks to them, I’m here today and can give back for all they’ve done for me.” Despite the challenges presented by the pandemic, Brookbank’s Kilee Gives Back Foundation held its charity golf tournament in September at Elks Run Golf Course and received outstanding community support. Brookbank graduated from XU with a degree in communications earlier this year. She has written multiple books, including “Beautiful Scars: A Life Redeﬁ ned” and “Digger the Hero Dog.” Jennifer Scroggins, KiCam Projects

Rotary Club of Florence joins Steinford Toy Foundation to bring a merry Christmas to thousands of NKY children The Rotary Club of Florence and Steinford Toy Foundation have joined forces again in 2020 in order to bring joy this holiday season to thousands of children in Northern Kentucky. Donations of unwrapped new or gently used toys are being received at the locations listed below. Donations will be accepted through Monday, Dec. 7. “Our community cares and Christmas joy is needed more than ever. Please drop new toys oﬀ at any of the listed locations between Nov. 23 and Dec. 7. Our Rotary Club of Florence volunteer team will pick-up and send your gifts to the Steinford Toy Foundation. In turn, your donated toys will be delivered by Steinford Toy Foundation volunteers directly to children to brighten Christmas and bless over 3,000 children in Northern Kentucky,” states Rotary Club of Florence Pro-

ject Chairperson Roger Babik of Master Provisions. During the Great Depression, a Northern Kentucky couple, Rose and George Steinford, witnessed many needy children in their neighborhood who were not experiencing the joys of Christmas. Rose and George, who had no children of their own, assumed the roles of Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus by purchasing, repairing and distributing used toys to these children. Today, that tradition is continued through the Steinford Toy Foundation, founded in 1973, and the Foundation’s volunteers that collect and distribute the toys. h Master Provisions Florence 7725 Foundation Drive h St. Elizabeth – Florence 4900 Houston Road h St. Elizabeth – Covington 1500 James Simpson Jr Way h St. Elizabeth – Ft Thomas 85 North Grand Avenue h St. Elizabeth – Edgewood 1 Medical Village Drive h Heritage Bank 16 Locations h RC Durr YMCA - Burlington 5874 Veterans Way h YMCA Campbell County – Ft Thomas 1437 S Ft Thomas Avenue h Ziegler & Schneider – Crescent Springs 541 Buttermilk Pike, Suite 500 h Gateway Rehabilitation - Florence 5940 Merchants Street h Mueller Financial Florence 6900 Houston Road, Suite 31 h Minuteman Press Florence 7830 U.S. 42 h Forcht Bank – Burlington 6100 1st Financial Drive h Best Way Disposal Burlington 1389 Production Drive h Regal Power Transmission - Florence 7120 New Buﬃ ngton Road h Kenner Dentistry Florence 7000 Houston Road, Suite 35 h All State Insurance Florence 6785 Houston Road, Suite 200 h Bob Sumerel Tire/ AAA - Florence 8711 US 42 h Earl Franks Sons & Daughters - Covington 428 Madison Avenue h Advance Auto Parts Walton 242 Mary Grubbs Highway h Drake’ s Restaurant Florence 6805 Houston Road

‘Christmas Break GO Boxes’ makes Christmas ‘merry’ again for local hungry children Christmas isn’t always “merry” for hungry children in Boone, Kenton and Campbell counties and with the way this year has gone, it’s even worse in 2020. The holiday break from school is a daunting time not looked forward to by thousands of hungry children in Northern Kentucky. These children, who typically must rely on the Free & Reduced Lunch Program for meals during the school year, know that when school ends, so does their primary food source. Thanks to GO Pantry’s “Christmas Break GO Box” campaign, hundreds of those kids, in the

worst of the worst situations, will have enough to eat over Christmas and New Year’s. GO Pantry, a local nonprofi t organization made up of volunteers, is committed to providing food to these Northern Kentucky children who do not have enough to eat at home over the Christmas holidays. “During the school year, many kids get their only meals at school through free and reduced meal programs,” said Laura Dumancic, a Union mother of three and founder/director of GO Pantry. “That’s a reliable source of healthy, fi lling food for many kids. When you take that away during Christmas break, many kids go hungry.” Food drives are the organization’s primary source to feed children on weekends during the school year and the “Christmas Break Go Box” campaign is critical to make certain these hungry kiddos have enough to get them thru the holiday break. While it would be ideal, not all children eligible for the Free & Reduced Lunch Program will receive GO Pantry support from the Christmas break campaign. In Boone & Kenton counties alone, 30% of all students (11,000 children) are eligible for the Free & Reduced Lunch Program – there are just too many children for the organization to serve. The children receiving GO Pantry “Christmas Break GO Boxes” have been identifi ed by their schools as those in the most need. In most cases, a teacher has physically recognized that the child is hungry and struggling and identifi ed as truly at risk of not eating on the days they are away from school. For the 2020 holiday break, GO Pantry hopes provide a minimum of 900 children with a Christmas Break GO Box containing the emergency food assistance they need to help get through the 2-week school break. Filling one box at time, generous donors can sign up to “fi ll” a go box with

items GO Pantry has strategically listed as necessary to cover the time away from school. These boxes are then delivered in a “reverse drive thru” manner to one of two area businesses generously collecting for GO Pantry, or to the GO Pantry warehouse during a speciﬁ c delivery window the ﬁ rst weekend in December. Once everything is collected, it’s checked for strict expiration date compliance and delivered anonymously to the schools these kids attend in time for them to take it with them over Christmas Break. More information and GO Pantry “Christmas Break Go Box” shopping lists are available via https://www.gopantry.org/christmas-go-box Laura Dumancic, Go Pantry

Have you been seeing black vultures recently? Black vultures are native to Kentucky. As a result, they are present here year-round, but you may be seeing more of them now for a few reasons. Their overall populations have increased in the state in the past couple of years. They are also a migratory species with a recently expanded range that stretches from Canada to South America, so you will see a lot more birds in Kentucky during the fall and winter as the birds from the northern range migrate south. While they are usually carrion feeders, black vultures will attack and kill small- to medium-

sized animals, including young livestock like calves, piglets, goats, and lambs. This is why they are a nemesis to many Kentucky farmers. Not to mention, black vultures can roost with as many as 100 other vultures, which can make them seem particularly menacing. Their roosting can cause structural damage, because the birds have a bad habit of picking at materials that have a rubbery texture. They have been known to damage pool covers, roof shingles, rubber roof liners, vent seals and window caulking. Since black vultures are federally protected by the 1918 Migratory Bird Treaty Act, you cannot kill them or destroy their nests or eggs without a federal permit. Even if you do get a permit, these birds are extremely smart and very diffi cult to kill. However, it is legal to take steps to make the birds uncomfortable by making loud noises or spraying them with a garden hose. It is also legal to use effi gies to deter them from your property. Effi gies are perhaps the easiest way to deter black vultures. When properly displayed, these depictions of dead vultures are extremely eff ective at getting these birds to move on their way. Effi gies need to be hung high and upside down by their feet with their wings spread, so the vultures can see them from a distance. Since many Kentucky livestock producers have animals that give birth during the fall and winter, putting the expectant mothers in one pasture and hanging an effi gy in that area is very eff ective at keeping black vultures away from newborn livestock. For the most success, make sure the effi gy can be seen from all angles and any location in a birthing pasture. You may need to hang more than one effi gy to accomplish this. Building your own effi gy is easy and inexpensive, as you can reuse many items commonly found around your farm. Matt Springer and Jonathan Matthews from the University of Kentucky Department of Forestry and Natural Resources have developed a pattern and directions to make a black vulture effi gy using a rubber stall mat that you can freely access and print online at http://forestry.ca.uky.edu/fi les/ forfs18-03.pdf. The entire project costs less than $30 and takes about two hours to complete.

KU is also proposing changes to the rates for other customer classes. These customer classes and their associated annual revenue changes are listed in the tables shown below. KU is also proposing to change the text of some of its rate schedules and other tariff provisions and to add two optional rate schedules: General Time-of-Day Energy Service (“GTOD-Energy”) and General Time-of-Day Demand Service (“GTOD-Demand”). KU’s proposed rates reflect a proposed annual increase in electric revenues of approximately 10.4%. The estimated amount of the annual change and the average monthly bill to which the proposed electric rates will apply for each electric customer class are as follows: Electric Rate Class Residential Residential Time-of-Day General Service General Time-of-Day All Electric School Power Service Time-of-Day Secondary Time-of-Day Primary Retail Transmission Fluctuating Load Service Outdoor Lights Lighting Energy Traffic Energy PSA Rider – CSR Outdoor Sports Lighting – Pilot Program

The monthly residential electric bill increase due to the proposed electric base rates will be 10.67 percent, or approximately $12.85, for a customer using 1,120 kWh of electricity (the average monthly consumption of a KU residential electric customer). KU is also proposing an Economic Relief Surcredit Adjustment Clause, which will credit KU customers a total of $11.9 million over twelve months when new rates go into effect from this proceeding. For the first twelve months of new rates following this proceeding, a $0.00068 per kWh credit will be applied to all standard rate schedules. KU is proposing to add an optional rider called Warranty Service for Customer-Owned Exterior Facilities. This rider permits firms that provide warranty service for the repair or replacement of customer-owned exterior electric facilities serving a KU customer’s residence and connected to KU distribution facilities and that meet certain standards to use KU’s billing services to obtain payment for subscribed warranty service. KU is proposing a new net metering rate schedule, Rider NMS-2, and renaming its existing Rider NMS to be Rider NMS-1. Rider NMS-1 will serve eligible electric generating facilities as defined in KRS 278.465(2) for which customers have submitted an application for net metering service before the effective date of rates established in this proceeding. Rider NMS-2 will apply to all other net metering customers. KU is also proposing new terms and conditions for Net Metering Service Interconnection Guidelines. KU is requesting a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity and other associated relief to exchange all existing non-communicating electric meters in its service area with Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) meters. KU proposes to eliminate certain Environmental Cost Recovery (“ECR”) Projects from its ECR mechanism and monthly filings on a going-forward basis, which will result in rate base costs previously included for recovery in the ECR mechanism being recovered through base rates. The reduction in ECR mechanism revenues creates a corresponding increase in base rate revenues with no change in total revenues. KU is proposing the following revisions to other charges in the tariff:
