NKY ‘glamping’ site set to open New Year’s Day Randy Tucker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

If you’ve recently driven past the 31acre site in Williamstown, Ky. where the Camp Bespoke boutique campground was planned to open in October, you may be wondering whatever happened to that idea. Trees have been felled, the site’s rolling hills have been graded and you can see the hook-ups for water, sewage disposal and electricity. But the ornate tipis and private cabins and cottages made from repurposed shipping containers and designed to provide luxurious accommodations at the site were still nowhere to be seen Dec. 7. Don’t worry, they’re on their way, and

local residents will soon be introduced to “glamping,” a neology for a more glamourous form of camping that gives campers access to homelike amenities, such as hot running water and ﬂ ush toilets. That’s according to Nicole Brassington, Camp Bespoke’s co-founder and CEO and one of four health care workers whom she said pooled their life savings to launch the estimated $3.4 million project in which they’ve already invested $700,000. “I know it doesn’t look like there’s anything there now, but that’s all about to change,” Brassington recently told The Enquirer. Eight fully-furnished cabins and cottages were scheduled to be installed at the site by the end of last week, when

on-site construction of the tipis began, according to Brassington, a Kentucky native and former nurse who co-founded the project with her friend and coworker, Misty Smith. Latasha Reid and Dr. Angelina Strickland round out the ownership group, with Reid acting as chief operating offi cer and Dr. Strickland as chief fi nancial offi cer. The campground - just east of the Barnes Road exit off Interstate-75, about 40 miles south of Cincinnati - will open New Year’s Day for select guests, including TV and newspaper reporters and social media infl uencers, Brassington said. It will open to the public in March See GLAMPING, Page 2A

The SkyStar riverfront wheel should be back. But when? Scott Wartman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Will Cincinnati get its giant, shining observation wheel back? Probably, at some point, Hamilton County oﬃ cials told The Enquirer. Just not by March 2021 as originally anticipated. The owner of the wheel isn’t saying publicly whether the SkyStar wheel will return. “They have not given up on Cincinnati,” said Phil Beck, who is general manager for The Banks riverfront development in Cincinnati, about the St. Louis-based parent company for the SkyStar wheel. “They are bullish on Cincinnati. They loved the environment while they were here.” Another wheel planned in Newport is less certain.

Ah, the summer of 2018 The Cincinnati skyline changed overnight when in August 2018 a 150-foottall neon observation wheel opened on the riverfront in front of the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. Cincinnatians fell in love with the glowing wheel. More than 250,000 people rode it in the ﬁ rst 10 months. It was only meant to stay for three months but stayed for 19 months. The owner wanted it to be a permanent ﬁ xture in the city, signing a 10-year lease in Sept. 2019 with Hamilton County. The new wheel would be 30-feet taller, a 180-foot glowing “O.” In March, the SkyStar wheel was dismantled and shipped to San Francisco to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Golden Gate Park. The SkyStar company had hoped to open the new wheel by March 5, 2021. The new wheel would be

built in China and shipped to its new home in front of the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. Not to be outdone, Newport wanted in on the wheel craze, with another company planning an even larger obser-

vation wheel, the SkyWheel, at Newport on the Levee. Then the pandemic hit in March. The two companies behind the wheels in Newport and Cincinnati won’t say publicly whether their plans are still

a go. Neither returned messages seeking comment. Koch Development, also of St. Louis, was planning the Newport wheel, which was supposed to be 230 See SKYSTAR, Page 8A

with a total of 36 units, a welcome center and event pavilion, she said. Reservations can be made on the campground’s website. Average nightly rates range from about $210 per night for a small cottage to $390 for a tipi. “We’ve been very blessed and fortunate that our project has garnered a lot of attention already,” said Brassington referring to recent articles in The Enquirer and SouthernLiving, and posts on Facebook and YouTube as well as other media outlets. “We’ve got multiple groups and individuals looking to make reservations.” In fact, 56 prospective campers had already booked reservations for October, but Brassington and her partners were forced to refund more than $76,000 in deposits when they realized they’d have to push back the opening date, she said. “2020 has been some year,” Brassington sighed. “We encountered way more things out of our control than we expected. And nobody could have planned for COVID.” The COVID-19 pandemic made it difﬁ cult to ﬁ nd contractors to build the shipping container cabins, which are being fabricated at the Camp Bespoke headquarters and warehouse in Louisville, Brassington said. The pandemic also stalled state and local government approval processes for the campsite needed to obtain the necessary licensing and permits. In addition, Brassington said, the cost of building materials skyrocketed just about the time construction began, driving the cost to complete the campsite up more than 50% and forcing the

owners to dig deeper for fi nancing with little help from traditional lenders. “We tried to get bank fi nancing, but most of the banks said it looks like a great business model, but it’s all speculative,” Brassington said, noting that the bank offi cials she met with wanted to see past returns for similar businesses to gauge their risk. “We didn’t have the historicals they wanted to see because the project is so new to Kentucky,” she said. While still a budding industry, “glamping” is growing in popularity and is expected to generate $4.8 billion worldwide by 2025, according to Grand View Research, a San Francisco-based market research and consulting fi rm. Brassington and her colleagues are so confi dent in their business model that they self-funded the entire project with credit cards, 401K withdrawals and other private contributions. “That’s just the burden and story of African American women, especially African American women entrepreneurs,” Brassington said. “Nothing is

ever given to us. We have to work for everything we have. We have a heavier burden.’’ Still, Brassington credits local residents and politicians for providing widespread support for her project, which promises to bring jobs and new tax revenue to the area. She singled out Williamstown Mayor Rick Skinner as one of her most ardent supporters. “He gave me carte blanche,” she said, referring to Skinner. “He said if you build something that can help us with the lodging demand we have for the Ark (Encounter), I think we would be able to support it. When I came back with the “glamping” idea, he was all for it.” The nearby Ark Encounter, about a 10-minute drive from the campsite, features a 510-foot-long replica of Noah’s Ark with three decks of museum exhibits, videos, and interactive displays depicting the biblical tale of Noah’s Ark. The Ark Encounter was drawing more than 1 million visitors a year before the pandemic struck, and cut traﬃ c by

about 40%, according to Skinner. But there are few hotels in Williamstown, which relies mainly on shortterm Airbnb rentals to accommodate visitors, he said. “The Ark continues to be a big draw, but until we get the hotel and motel infrastructure we need, we’ll continue to rely on Airbnb and other alternatives,” Skinner said. Camp Bespoke “off ers a unique opportunity. We’re excited to see what it’s going to bring to Williamstown.” While Camp Bespoke may help alleviate the demand for tourist lodging in Williamstown, Brassington said she’s confi dent it will be a self-sustaining business supplemented by Ark Encounter visitors but not reliant on them. She said the campground’s fully furnished cabins and tipis with heated and air-conditioned sitting areas, separate bathrooms, kitchenettes, even TV and WIFI connections, appeal to a broad range of people like herself. “I’m not a camper, so the thought of going to the bathroom in the middle of the night when it’s raining outside, or animals are roaming around just isn’t appealing to me,” Brassington previously told The Enquirer. “What we off er is still camping, but it’s camping with all the accommodations you might have at a hotel, and maybe a little more.” And while COVID-19 has been the bane of her existence since it began, Brassington said it’s likely to drive reservations going forward. “A lot of people are working remotely because of COVID, but they’re tired of being cooped up in the house,” she said. “They just want to be able to sit in one of the units and look out the window while they work. Our product will allow them to work, enjoy nature and socially distance at the same time.”

Cranberry orange vodka provides unique twist to holiday cocktails Dog biscuits worth a wag

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

As granddaughter Eva said as she made a doggie birthday cake for her dog, Oliver, “Pumpkin and peanut butter are good for dogs.” Yes, Eva, they are!

Guest columnist

I had an executive culinary decision to make today. Requests for my clone of Williams-Sonoma peppermint bark are ﬂ owing in again. I honestly thought this cult favorite had made the rounds of our Community Press kitchens. I’m assuming there’s some newbies on board who want to make it. Then again, some requests are from readers who’ve been with me a while o be patient – the bark is coming, just not this week. Why? I needed to use up fresh cranberries from Thanksgiving and have a recipe for cranberry orange vodka to share. It’s simple to make and beautiful. Just a hint of citrus and a good cranberry ﬂ avor. This vodka gives a unique twist to holiday cocktails. Sub cranberry vodka for regular vodka in most recipes. The dog biscuits are for, well, that special canine in your life. I know there’s a bunch of you who can relate. A fun recipe for kids to make. For my young reader who wants to make her “well behaved constant companion during virtual school” a holiday treat.

Ingredients ⁄ 3 cup canned pumpkin puree 2

⁄ 4 cup creamy peanut butter

Gradually add flour, beating until combined with puree mixture. Start with 2 1⁄ 2 cups and add a little more until dough is not sticky but not dry, either. On a lightly floured surface, knead dough until it comes together. Roll to 1⁄ 4” thickness. Cut out as desired. Bake 20 minutes or so until edges are golden. Baking time depends upon size and thickness of biscuits. Tip: Make sure your doggo isn’t allergic to any ingredient.

Car accident leaves mom wondering if daughter will ever speak John Johnston United Way of Greater Cincinnati

The Enquirer and United Way of Greater Cincinnati have joined forces for the 34th year to help families in need with the Wish List program. This is the second of eight stories that will run this month. On a spring day in 2015, Antyiah Bell, her god sister, and two of Bell’s children were headed to a familyfriendly restaurant in Lexington, Kentucky. They were stopped at a traffi c light when a car traveling at highway speed struck their vehicle from behind, spinning it around. Bell’s daughter Amourah, then 7 months old, was secured in a child’s car seat. But the force of the crash caused her head to whip violently back and forth. Inside her skull, her brain collided with bone. “She had bleeding in the front and the back of her brain,” Bell said. “She was having seizures.” Amourah had been a healthy baby, but the traumatic brain injury she suff ered that day changed her life forever. She is paralyzed and nonverbal. Bell, who is 27 and single, endured another tragedy about a year after the accident when her 3-year-old son Armante died of a lung disease. She has three other children: Armanii, 9, Areyiah, 4, and Azuan, 1. “My kids are my motivation,” Bell said, standing outside her Covington apartment. She’s surrounded by her children, including Amourah, whose hair is in pony tails. “They depend on me. So, I can’t fail them.” Bell is enrolled in Brighton Center’s Center for Employment Training (CET), where she is preparing for a career in health technology administration. Members of the Brighton Center staff say Bell has grown in her confi dence and professionalism. She hopes one day to work at a clinic or a hospital. Bell says she is grateful to the staff for allowing fl exibility in her schedule so she can deal with childcare issues and attend medical appointments. Amourah is seen by a team of specialists at the Complex Care Center at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. And fi ve days a week, she attends The Kidz Club, a pediatric day-treatment program in Erlanger. Amourah smiles often. She enjoys listening to music and hearing the sound of her mother’s voice. She also requires constant care. “The only break I get is when she’s at daycare,” Bell said. “I don’t trust anyone else to care for her.” Bell has never heard her daughter speak in words, but she recognizes the meaning of her cries: the sound that signifi es she’s uncomfortable; the sound when she’s in pain; the sound when her stomach is full. Many times, Bell has heard Amourah try to say “mom.” Bell remains hopeful that with continued therapy, Amourah may speak one day. In the meantime, her

Antyiah Bell, of Covington, and her daughter Amourah Bell, 6, are looking for an updated wheelchair, a lift to help Antyiah get Amourah in and out of bed, and a medical bed. GLENN HARTONG FOR THE ENQUIRER

wish is for her daughter to receive a device that will help her communicate: a text-to-speech iPad Pro. Another wish is for a medical bed and lift device. The head of Amourah’s bed is supposed to be elevated to

prevent her from aspirating, but that’s not possible with the plastic-framed bed she now has. What’s more, her bed is only about a foot oﬀ the ground, and Bell is experiencing lower back pain from lowering and lifting her 50-pound daughter. Finally, Bell wishes to replace the wheelchair that Amourah has outgrown. When they go for walks, people see the girl in the wheelchair and sometimes ask about her disability. After Bell tells the sad story, “People always want to pray over her,” and she says that, too, is a welcome gift. AMOURAH'S WISHES: A text-to-speech iPad Pro; a medical bed and lift device; a wheelchair. ESTIMATED COST: $5,000. John Johnston is the content writer at United Way and a former Enquirer reporter.

Americans can finally grow hair so thick “It will cover up your bald spots,” says top US Doctor Clinical trials show a new hair loss breakthrough can both help men and women naturally regrow a thick, full head of hair – without drugs, surgery, or side effects

housands are rushing to get a new hair restoration method based on surprising new studies from the University of California. It is the world’s first and only hair loss solution that revives dead hair follicles. And studies confirm it helps men and women regrow a thick, full head of hair, even after years of balding.

feet tall. Newport City Manager Tom Fromme said the city and Army Corps of Engineers have made all the necessary approvals for the construction to start. The corps needed to approve the plans since it was going to be built atop a river levee at Newport on the Levee. “It’s not a city of Newport of project,” Fromme said. “We adopted it. We liked the idea.” Fromme said he hasn’t heard from Newport on the Levee or Koch as to whether the Newport wheel is still a go. The Levee owner also did not respond to The Enquirer’s messages – when this article was originally published. The pandemic and change in ownership with Newport on the Levee have paused things, Fromme said. But oﬃ cials with Hamilton County

expect the wheel will return, if just delayed. SkyStar’s parent company is expected to write a letter to the Hamilton County Board of Commissioners asking to extend the spring deadline for the wheel to open, Beck said. That letter, as of Friday, has not been received by the county. Business owners at The Banks want to see the wheel back. The success of the wheel surprised Jean-François Flechet, owner of Taste of Belgium. It not only turned into a big draw but also was beautiful, he said. “People came down for that,” Flechet said. “Anything to try to bring people down to The Banks is a good thing. The riverfront is so beautiful now.” For now, the lot in front of the Freedom Center remains vacant, save for the sign “Sing the Queen City.” The SkyStar’s return depends on ending the pandemic, oﬃ cials said. “It’s a matter of kind of getting our society back in order,” Beck said. “The vaccine will certainly help a lot.”

Now, with news of this breakthrough spreading like wildfire — the manufacturers are struggling to keep up with overwhelming demand. That’s because, unlike other methods, it is prescription-free, drug-free, and has no side effects. And while hair transplants can cost $4,000 or more, this new approach costs pennies on the dollar and doesn’t involve going to the doctor’s office. Instead, it leverages cutting-edge technology to prevent hair loss, fill-in embarrassing bald spots, and renourish thinning hair — with results you can see and feel in 30 days or less. As Jeanne F. from San Diego, CA reports: “When my husband began to use this product, all he had on top of his head was fuzz. His hair began to grow after 30 days and now it is about 2 to 3 inches long!”

Surprising Truth About Hair Loss It is commonly believed that hair loss is hereditary.

Get Well Here t0 Get Home Sooner.

Unfortunately, most people think there is nothing they can do to stop it. However, while many doctors will tell you that thinning hair, a receding hairline, and bald spots are due to your genetics, this is not the whole story. “While genetics play a role, it’s not the main reason you lose hair,” says Dr. Al Sears, the nation’s top anti-aging doctor. “And surprisingly it’s not just your age, thyroid, hormones, stress, or a vitamin deficiency, either.” The latest scientific research reveals that hair loss is primarily caused by the stem cells in your hair follicles dying.

“This discovery is a true breakthrough because by reviving these stem cells on your scalp, you can stop hair loss dead in its tracks and trigger new hair growth, even in areas that have been thinning for years,” explains Dr. Sears. Now, at his world-famous clinic, the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine in Palm Beach, Florida, Dr. Sears and his team have used this game-changing discovery to develop a brand-new hair restoration formula that is taking the country by storm. Sold under the name Re-Nourish, it is flying off the shelves with men and women of all ages raving about the results it delivers. “I have seen a significant improvement in hair growth. Previously, you could see thinning areas at the back of my head and now hair has grown over

Breakthrough research proves this discovery helps fill-in bald spots, re-nournishes thinning hair, and leads to noticeable growth in as little as 30 days. it,” says Peter W. from Ontario, Canada. And Susan D. from Fort Pierce, Florida reports, “My hair was thinning. So, I began to use Re-Nourish every day on the front part of my scalp. Now I have thicker hair.” Dr. Al Sears, M.D., is America’s leading anti-aging expert. He’s authored more than 500 scientific papers, and his discoveries have appeared on more than 50 media outlets including, ABC News, CNN, ESPN, Discovery Channel, National Geographic, Lifetime, and many more.

Regrows Hair In Just 30 Days Scientists now know that stem cells are the lifeblood of your hair follicles. Research from the University of California shows they’re the reason you’re able to grow hair. However, these stem cells aren’t always active. In fact, studies reveal they’re only active during certain phases of the hair growth cycle. “Your hair grows in three phases,” explains Dr. Sears. “First, you have the anagen phase, the hair growing phase. Then the catagen phase, when hair gets ready to shed. And finally, the telogen phase, where your hair is pushed from the follicle and falls out.” As you get older it becomes harder for your hair follicles to complete this three-phase cycle. The results? Your hairs get stuck in the telogen phase. This is when they start falling out and stop regrowing, no matter what you try. This process doesn’t happen overnight, says Dr. Sears. “At first, your hair dries out, becoming brittle, thin, and harder to style. Then, you start finding hairs on your pillow and down the drain. Finally, you’re left with bald spots that age you prematurely.” Fortunately, Re-Nourish puts a stop to this. It revives the dead stem cells in your hair follicles and reactivates your hair’s three-phase cycle, triggering new growth in as little as 30 days — even in areas that’ve been balding for years.

Reawakens Dead Hair Follicles For years, scientists couldn’t figure out why hair follicle stem cells died. However, a study from the University of California finally found the answer., It has to do with T-cells — an important immune

cell in your body. The researchers discovered these T-cells are the only way to command hair follicles to grow new hair. More importantly, they showed that T-cells helped revive the stem cells in your hair follicles — spurring new growth, filling in bald spots and natural hairline. Re-Nourish uses a unique blend of all-natural ingredients. By spraying it on your hair once per day, scientific studies show you can revive dead stem cells and improve the appearance of thicker, fuller hair. For example, the key nutrient of Re-Nourish was tested on a group of severely balding women. After 6 months, nearly 70% of the women saw significant improvement in hair growth. Their hair was noticeably fuller, thicker, and healthier looking. Most exciting of all, they grew new hair on parts of their scalp that had been bald for years. In another study, Italian researchers gathered a group of both men and women with thinning hair and applied the core ingredient of Re-Nourish. After 12 weeks, they reported a staggering 74% increase in hair growth. “It’s really mind-boggling that my hair started growing back,” says Zan R., another Re-Nourish customer. With results like this, it’s no surprise that demand for Re-Nourish is soaring. Thousands of men and women are scrambling to get their hands on the limited-supply available. Re-Nourish is not currently available in any store at any price. But we’ve secured a small batch for our readers.

Bad math lands Fort Thomas hospital in New York Times Anne Saker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Jaws dropped Dec. 10 at St. Elizabeth Healthcare when leaders saw the Fort Thomas hospital listed in the New York Times as one of the busiest COVID-19 care centers in the nation. St. Elizabeth’s main COVID-19 facility, its Fort Thomas hospital, has been busy, the leaders said, but not as busy as that, and they went on the hunt for the mistake. “When we’re living and breathing these numbers by the hour, you know that there was an error there,” said Vera Hall, St. Elizabeth’s chief nursing executive. “When you hit the New York Times, you stop and drop everything.” Hall and other St. Elizabeth oﬃ cials pinned the problem on the Kentucky Hospital Association, but a KHA oﬃ cial said the culprit was a coding bug in the computers of the Kentucky Department of Public Health. That agency is compiling bed capacity data across the commonwealth and reporting it to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Hall said the mistake was not St. Elizabeth’s but “a double counting” at the KHA that added the total number of COVID-19 patients at Fort Thomas than the average for the week of Nov. 27 – 145 – and the number of the facility’s negative-pressure

rooms, which was 100, and came up with 224. That’s the number released Dec. 7 when the federal government initially made its bed capacity data public. The Times then analyzed the data to create lists of the nation’s most overtaxed intensive-care units that were published Dec. 10. Fort Thomas came in fourth among larger-population centers, which came as a surprise to Hall and other Fort Thomas offi cials. “I know that data is kind of a hot spot, how accurate is the data?” Hall said. “We don’t want to further continue the suspicion that the numbers are infl ated. But even so, 145 patients – that’s a lot of patients.” At the KHA, Melanie Moch, vice president of of data and health information services, said the source of the problem was not at the KHA, although she understood how the St. Elizabeth offi cials would think so. The trade association has been working with the state health department to push hospitals to

report their bed capacity daily. "I'm on all the Zoom calls with them, so I can see how they would think it's us," Moch said, but the KHA is not handling the data. The association discovered that earlier this week, St. Elizabeth updated their number, which triggered a coding bug to double-count the Fort Thomas census. Moch said the health department and the Kentucky Department of Emergency Management went through the coding Dec. 10 and the problem shouldn't happen again. In August, the Trump administration directed hospitals to stop sending the information to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and instead send it to HHS. Dr. James Horn, St. Elizabeth's chief quality oﬃ cer and an emergency doctors, said more patients are seeking care now than on Nov. 27. As of Dec. 10, the system had 170 patients with COVID-19, and some are getting treated at St. Elizabeth Florence.

It’s a well-known fact that for many older Americans, the home is their single biggest asset, often accounting for more than 45% of their total net worth. And with interest rates near all-time lows while home values are still high, this combination creates the perfect dynamic for getting the most out of your built-up equity. But, many aren’t taking advantage of this unprecedented period. According to new statistics from the mortgage industry, senior homeowners in the U.S. are now sitting on more than 7.19 trillion dollars* of unused home equity. Not only are people living longer than ever before, but there is also greater uncertainty in the ecomony. With home prices back up again, ignoring this “hidden wealth” may prove to be short sighted when looking for the best longterm outcome.

All things considered, it’s not surprising that more than a million homeowners have already used a government-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) loan to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement. It’s a fact: no monthly mortgage payments are required with a government-insured HECM loan; however the borrowers are still responsible for paying for the maintenance of their home, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees. Today, HECM loans are simply an effective way for homeowners 62 and older to get the extra cash they need to enjoy retirement. Although today’s HECM loans have been improved to provide even greater financial protection for homeowners, there are still many misconceptions. For example, a lot of people mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full in order to qualify for a HECM loan, which

is not the case. In fact, one key advantage of a HECM is that the proceeds will first be used to pay off any existing liens on the property, which frees up cash flow, a huge blessing for seniors living on a fixed income. Unfortunately, many senior homeowners who might be better off with a HECM loan don’t even bother to get more information because of rumors they’ve heard. In fact, a recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s number one HECM lender, found that over 98% of their clients are satisfied with their loans. While these special loans are not for everyone, they can be a real lifesaver for senior homeowners especially in times like these. The cash from a HECM loan can be

Although these costs may be substantial, AAG does not establish an escrow account for these payments.

AAG charges an origination fee, mortgage insurance premium (where required by HUD), closing costs and servicing fees, rolled into the balance of the loan. AAG charges interest on the balance, which grows over time. When the last borrower or eligible non-borrowing spouse dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, or fails to comply with the loan terms, the loan becomes due and payable (and the property may become subject to foreclosure). When this happens, some or all of the equity in the property no longer belongs to the borrowers, who may need to sell the home or otherwise repay the loan balance.

Newport Central Catholic running back Joey Runyon (22) had 102 yards from scrimmage, including a 46-yard touchdown catch, in the Thoroughbreds' 21-7 loss to Paintsville in the Class 1A state semiﬁ nals on Dec. 11. JEFF DEAN FOR THE ENQUIRER

NewCath comes up short in Class 1A state semiﬁ nals Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

JOHNSON COUNTY — Third-year head coach Stephen Lickert has authored Newport Central Catholic's return to being one of the top prep programs in Northern Kentucky. After a 10win season in 2019 and a trip to the state quarterﬁ nals, Lickert led the Thoroughbreds to the doorstep of the Class 1A state championship game this fall. But Newport Central Catholic's bid to reach the state title game for the 15th time in program history — and 12th time this century — expired Friday night after a 21-7 loss to Paintsville in the Class 1A state semiﬁ nals. Paintsville advances to the Class 1A state championship game for the second year in a row. The Tigers will face Kentucky Country Day — a 27-7 winner over Williamsburg Friday night — next

at the University of Kentucky's Kroger Field. Paintsville is 0-3 all-time in state championship games, including a 43-0 loss to Pikeville last December. Newport Central Catholic was shut out in back-to-back weeks to end the regular season, but had back-to-back 40-point outings in the playoff s leading up to Friday's road game. The Thoroughbreds' off ense got off to a hot start, going 80 yards on 11 plays on their opening possession behind quarterback Malaki Herndon. The senior was 3-for-3 on the drive on third down, including a 46yard touchdown toss to running back Joey Runyon to give Newport Central Catholic a 7-0 lead with 1:03 left in the fi rst quarter. The success was short-lived, however, as Paintsville would notch a shutout the rest of the way. The Tigers have held eight of their 12 opponents under 18 points this season. Newport Central

Catholic's fi nal six possessions resulted in three punts, a fumble, a turnover on downs and a missed 51-yard fi eld goal at the end of the fi rst half. The diff erence was made in the trenches as Newport Central Catholic struggled to fi nd a running game, totaling just 39 yards. Meanwhile, the Tigers operated most of the night on the ground, running for 350 yards with its lethal three-headed monster in the backfi eld. The leader was sophomore Harris Phelps, who ran for 200 yards on 27 carries and provided all of his team's scoring with three trips to the end zone. Luke Hyden added 75 yards on nine attempts and quarterback Karsten Poe ran 11 times for 50 yards. Phelps ran for a 37-yard touchdown early in the second quarter to tie it 7-7. With 8:06 left in the third, his 37-yard scoring scamper gave Paintsville a lead

it would not relinquish. Newport Central Catholic was able to keep the game close with an opportunistic defense that capitalized on a few Paintsville missteps. The Tigers opened the game with a 92-yard drive, but Phelps fumbled into the end zone on fourth-and-goal and Newport Central Catholic junior linebacker Dom Morgan was there for the recovery. Late in the fi rst half, NewCath's Buddy Atkins intercepted Poe at the Thoroughbreds' 38. After a muff ed Newport Central Catholic punt in the third quarter, Paintsville was on the doorstep of extending its lead to double digits, but a bobbled snap on a 33-yard fi eld goal attempt resulted in a turnover on downs to keep the Thoroughbreds within a score.

Hergott rallies Beechwood to dramatic state semiﬁ nal victory James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

In what has been a wide-open race for Kentucky Mr. Football this year, the Northern Kentucky nominee made his pitch on a wild night of state semifi nal games in Kentucky. Beechwood senior quarterback Cameron Hergott made a statement Friday night, leading the Tigers to a frenetic 35-34 win over West Carter in a Class 2A state semifi nal. Beechwood will play Lexington Christian in the state championship game Dec. 18 in Lexington. “All the excitement,” said Beechwood’s Brady Moore. “Everyone working so hard in the off season with COVID and all of that. It’s fi nally paying off , going to state. It’s a dream come true.” Hergott’s 34-yard touchdown pass to Moore, followed by a two-point pass play to Moore, gave Beechwood a 35-34

lead with 2:32 to go in the game. West Carter drove to the Beechwood 47, but a huge sack by junior Tanner Jackson on third down eff ectively ended the Comets’ chances. Hergott threw for two touchdowns in the fourth quarter and three for the game, and also rushed for two scores. His fi nal play punctuated a wild fourth quarter in which the teams scored two touchdowns apiece in a six-minute span. “That was the funnest game I’ve ever played,” Hergott said. “In the second half, we turned it up. We knew what we had to do. We just fought our tails off the whole time. It was great.” Hergott, who is uncommitted to college football yet but is getting Division I looks, is one of the leading candidates for Mr. Football in a year where most of See BEECHWOOD, Page 2B

the seniors who are committed to major college football programs play positions that normally don’t win Mr. Football. Hergott came into the game with more than 2,000 passing yards and 21 TDs, and 885 rushing yards and 12 scores. “Cameron Hergott, hands down, is absolutely incredible,” said Beechwood head coach Noel Rash. “It’s that simple. If there’s a better player in the state, I have yet to see him. He is incredible.” Beechwood led 20-0 late in the fi rst half and turned the ball over deep in West Carter territory after the Tigers had a chance to take a four-touchdown lead. Unoffi cially, Hergott threw for 142 yards in the fi rst half and rushed for 36. Beechwood marched 53 yards from the opening kickoff . Hergott found Parker Mason wide open for a 26-yard touchdown three minutes into the game. Beechwood went 73 yards on its next drive, scoring with 1:33 to go in the fi rst quarter, and it was 14-0. On Beechwood’s next drive, Hergott found Liam McCormack open for a 42yard gain to the WC 1. Hergott scored from there, and Beechwood led 20-0 with 10:43 to go in the fi rst half. Beechwood was in business again after Hergott found Mason for a 48-yard

Herndon, who ﬁ nished 9-of-18 for 125 yards, hit wide receiver Quentin Meyer for 23 yards on the ﬁ nal play of the third quarter to move into Paintsville territory. NewCath would reach the Paintsville 32, but Herndon's fourth-down pass fell incomplete. The Tigers would respond with a 10play, 68-yard drive of all runs that chewed up over six minutes of clock.

pass play to the WC 28. But the drive stalled from there. A Beechwood turnover led to a 20-minute delay for a serious injury to a West Carter player. West Carter took the momentum and scored with 1:33 to go in the half. Leetavious Cline, who had only 23 rushing yards to that point, had a couple of double-digit gains. WC took the second-half kickoff and scored within three minutes, as Perry hit his top target, Jackson Bond, for a 21yard score. WC then executed a surprise onside kick and recovered. The Comets went down and scored with seven minutes to go in the third quarter on a 3-yard run by Cline, who surpassed the 2,000-yard mark for the season during the drive. Cline, who set the school career rushing record last week against Walton-Verona, became the fi rst Comet to ever rush for 2,000 yards in a season. West Carter went for two after missing the PAT on the previous drive. Beechwood stuff ed Cline for a big loss, and the Tigers led 20-19 going into the fi nal quarter. Cline, who had over 150 yards on the night, scored from 14 yards out with 8:32 to go in the game. The Comets scored a two-pointer and led 27-20. “They got physical with us in the second half and we struggled defensively, but our off ense was spot on,” said Rash. Beechwood came right back as Hergott launched a bomb to McCormack.

The tall, lanky sophomore leaped in the end zone to beat a defender who was draped all over him. McCormack appeared to bobble the ball momentarily but held on for a 34-yard touchdown. Colin Graman’s PAT tied it at 27 with 6:58 to go. “McCormack, you throw the ball up to that kid, and he’ll catch it over anybody,” Hergott said. “He’s unbelievable. Brady Moore runs great routes. They all do: Parker Mason, Mitchell Berger. They’re awesome. They’re the best receiving corps I’ve ever had.” West Carter took the lead less than two minutes later, when Perry found the speedy Jackson Bond wide open over the middle for a 31-yard touchdown. The PAT made it 34-27. Beechwood started at the 50 after Bomani Hughes returned a squib kick. Hergott had two runs of 5 and 9 yards, then a 9-yard pass to Berger to set up fi rst and 10 at the Comets 34. Hergott launched a long pass to Moore, who caught it at the pylon near the sideline to pull Beechwood within one at 34-33. “They were in press overage, so I knew I had to go outside,” Moore said. “Cam trusted me and he threw a great ball.” Beechwood went for two. Hergott dropped back and had to elude a pair of tacklers. He spun and briefl y touched his hand to the turf before rolling out to his right and fi nding Moore in the back of the end zone for the winning points. The play call was made well in ad-

vance of the moment. “With ﬁ ve minutes left to go when we got the ball back, we made a decision then,” Rash said. “We’re going for two. I told them to have a play ready. The offensive staﬀ had said that’s what they wanted to do. Cam improvised a little bit. The guys have to keep moving, they can’t stand still. Cam has that great athleticism that kept him in the play, and he was able to make the throw late.” Said Hergott: “I had to do something on my own because the guys weren’t open and I had to get them open. My guys got open for me and I delivered the ball. It was awesome.” Said Moore: “That was a great play by Cam. He was scrambling around, buying time for us to get open, and he threw another perfect pass.” Beechwood 14 6 0 15-35 West Carter 0 7 12 15-34 B – Mason 26 pass from Hergott (Graman kick) B – Hergott 1 run (Graman kick) B – Hergott 1 run (kick failed) W – McGlone 27 pass from Perry (Wolfe kick) W – Bond 21 pass from Perry (kick failed) W – Cline 3 run (run failed) W – Cline run (Bond pass from Perry) B – McCormack 34 pass from Hergott (Graman kick) W – Bond 31 pass from Perry (Wolfe kick) B – Moore 34 pass from Hergott (Moore pass from Hergott) Records: B 9-2, WC 10-2

We watched Lifetime’s ‘A Recipe for Seduction’ so you don’t have to Emma Austin Louisville Courier Journal USA TODAY NETWORK

If you missed the premiere of the holiday mini-movie “A Recipe for Seduction,” a romance starring Mario Lopez as Kentucky Fried Chicken’s Colonel Sanders, allow me to walk you through the masterpiece stocked with drama, incredible suspense and plenty of twists you’ll never see coming. In a normal Lifetime movie, those twists may be predictable, but the beauty of this ﬁ lm is every scene has been jammed into a 15-minute time slot, making each plot development completely unexpected. “A Recipe for Seduction,” brought to you by KFC, tells the story of a young woman expected to marry a man from a wealthy family with a big name. Her mother has the man picked out for her, but the woman isn’t sure he’s the one. It’s an age-old tale, relatable to any woman born into a rich family with a plantation-like estate who’s reached marrying age. KFC recommended watching the 15-minute movie with an order of its

"A Recipe For Seduction" premiered on Lifetime , Dec. 13. PROVIDED BY KFC

own deep-fried, crispy chicken, but unfortunately, Col. Harland Sanders never made a gluten-free recipe, so I had to go without my movie treat. I couldn’t even burn a KFC 11 Herbs & Spices Firelog to create the mood, as my apartment’s fi replace has been boarded up since I moved in. Luckily, the fi rst line of the movie reminded me what it’s all about: “The chicken is delicious.” The line comes after the camera pans across an ornately decorated dining room table covered in what I can only presume is Kentucky Fried Chicken and all the sides, giving away the fi lm’s true, extended-

commercial identity. Chad Doreck, as Billy Garibaldi III, opens the scene, drawing us into what quickly becomes a suspenseful plot incomparable to any existing marketing ploy. Billy compliments the woman at the head of the table, who reminds him that she “can’t cook like this” — the chicken was actually made by the family’s “incredibly talented” new chef. Billy then turns to the woman sitting next to him, Jessica, and declares himself to be “wildly, madly, certiﬁ ably, insanely in love” with her before pulling out a diamond ring and proposing. Rendered speechless, Jessica bolts from the dining room as the woman at the head of the table — her mom — appears horriﬁ ed by her daughter’s behavior. In the next scene, which takes place the following morning, we learn Jessica’s family was left in considerable debt by her father. “Marrying Billy is the only thing that can save us,” Jessica’s mother, Bunny, informs her over the breakfast table. Tessa Munro, who plays Bunny, doesn’t have many performances listed on her IMDb bio, but

her display of a wide range of emotions throughout “A Recipe for Seduction” is nothing short of convincing. Enter: Latino silver fox Harland Sanders, played by Mario Lopez, dream hunk. Just like the rest of us, slack-jawed Jessica is mesmerized by the man who turns out to be the family’s new chef — the one who made the delicious chicken at the disastrous dinner the night before. Wearing a shortsleeved, crispy white shirt with several buttons left open to frame a relaxed, black ascot, Lopez as Harland Sanders has ﬁ nally achieved KFC’s yearslong pursuit of establishing its founder as a sex icon. After breakfast, Jessica walks out to the front of the mansion where Harland is accepting an order of fresh vegetables. His muscular arms lower the crates to the ground so he can join Jessica on a tour of the property surrounded by gardens and a swimming pool, where she conﬁ des in him her reservations about Billy. In turn, Harland opens up about his dreams of using his “secret recipe” to change the world, and Lopez’ earnestness drives home the promis-

ing future before this young, successful chef. As they’re talking, Billy’s voice appears from out of frame, and the camera cuts to him storming down a set of stairs, yelling at Jessica for humiliating and rejecting him. Jessica runs away after Harland tries to get Billy to cool his jets, and then comes the best line of the movie: “Don’t call me crouton.” (Billy had called Harland crouton.) Only spoken from the mouth of Lopez could such a simple statement deliver such strength and authority. In the next scene, Bunny overhears her daughter talking on the phone with her gay best friend (of course), telling him about how she thinks she’s falling for the new chef. I’ll cut the play-byplay but will say each following scene gets more and more shocking, in true Lifetime fashion, as we learn Bunny is actually having an aﬀ air with Billy (scandalous!) and apparently is willing to severely impair her daughter’s gay best friend and even kill the renowned chef himself to force Jessica to marry Billy. While Lopez’ perfor-

mance really brings the sexy appeal of Kentucky Fried Chicken to life, the movie’s score is what drives the story line. If you’re not sure what mood you should be in while watching a seductive movie about a fastfood chicken chain founder, let the piano clue you in. “A Recipe for Seduction” is perfect for the person who says they can’t focus long enough to watch a full movie. It wraps into 15 minutes all the best fi xings of any fi lm: a family wrought with turmoil, a gasp-inducing revelation and an exciting climax complete with multiple murder attempts. There are some loose ends left up in the air when the credits roll, and the fi nal scene ends on a troubling cliff hanger — could this mean there will be a sequel? Time will tell, but luckily, the fi lm is available online at mylifetime. com/christmas-movies for anyone who missed the premiere or wants to rewatch this fi nger-lickin’ good holiday romance. I give it fi ve out of fi ve chicken wings. Reach Emma Austin at eaustin@gannett.com or on Twitter at @emmacaustin.

Men’s Virility Restored in Clinical Trial; 275% More Blood Flow in 5 Minutes A newly improved version of America’s best-selling male performance enhancer gives 70-year-old men the ability and stamina they enjoyed in their 30’s. The eighth-grade class at St. Therese School after surpassing the goal of 2,020 food items for Saint Vincent de Paul Food Pantry. PROVIDED

A good 2020? Record food drive at St. Therese School The number 2020 has some deﬁ nite stigma around it. This year has tainted this number’s reputation and has become the butt of many jokes on the internet. Forest ﬁ res, a climate crisis that caused a record number of hurricanes, a seemingly uncontrollable global pandemic, divisive politics, and countless deaths has made our heads spin. But is it all bad? Think about it – civil rights movements, revolutionary protests that demand voices to be heard, and each of us seemed to change for the better in some way. Not only that, but another good thing happened, right in the city of Southgate, at St. Therese School. St. Therese School’s eighth-grade class, as well as with the help from teacher Stephen Young set a goal to collect 2,020 canned goods. They spread the word throughout the whole school, via daily announcements and posters pinned up in every hallway. Soon, everyone was helping out. Each student had to bring in quite a number of cans, almost 14 each, to have any hope of reaching their goal. But, everyone was determined, particularly the eighth grade. They counted, collected, and tallied, and on Nov. 19, the school not only reached their goal, but exceeded it. Beth Krebs, the junior high math teacher summed it up when she said, “Our school is a school of service. When we want to reach a goal, we will work together to achieve it.”

It’s the latest breakthrough for nitric oxide – the molecule that makes E.D. woes fade and restores virility when it counts the most.

Art teacher Susie Kahmann stands in front of a mural she painted for Advent at St. Joseph, Cold Spring. The mural illustrates the school’s advent theme of “Preparing for Jesus as Joseph Did.” PROVIDED

Emma Krebs, Sophomore at Newport Central Catholic High School – interested in journalism

He still comes Advent is a season of waiting, anticipating, and preparing. This is evident in the schools in the docese even if the students are not physically in the buildings. At St. Joseph, Cold Spring, art teacher, Susie Kahmann painted a beautiful mural to go along with the school’s advent theme “Preparing for Jesus as Joseph Did.” The students can see the mural in some of the announcements and videos they receive from the school. This helps to remind the students that no matter where we are or what the circumstances “He Still Comes.” Linda Gabis, St. Joseph Cold Spring

Medal of Honor Lifesaving Awards are reserved for those Girl Scouts who have performed acts of heroism beyond the degree of maturity and training expected for their age. In the fall of 2019, Ashlynne an American Red-Cross Certifi ed Lifeguard, then age 17, jumped into action when a 7-year-old girl at the Ludlow Bromley Swim Club slipped into the deep end and began to take on water. Ashlynne saved the drowning girl from the deep end of the pool and, due to her eff orts, the girl survived without injury. Now a graduating senior, Ashlynne exemplifi ed not only in this instance, but throughout her entire Girl Scouting experience, a dedication in service to others. “As a Council, we are full of pride and excitement that one of our own Girl Scouts, Ashlynne Wind, has received this prestigious national honor. We are even more proud of the confi dence and fearlessness Ashlynne exhibited when faced with this crisis moment. Ashlynne’s story of heroism is a key example of how Girl Scouts are at the service of others, regardless of the situation, always acting with courage, confi dence and character,” said Susan Douglas, CEO, GSKWR. Ashlynne has been recognized nationally with a certifi cate from the Chief Executive Offi cer of Girl Scouts of the United States (GSUSA) and a Medal of Honor pin.

The Point/Arc named Best Adult Residential Care Home COVINGTON, Ky. – The Point/Arc was voted, Best Adult Residential Care Home and Outreach program in the inaugural Greater Cincinnati Nonproﬁ t of the Year Awards. The announcement was recently

made by Judi Gerding, President and Founder of The Point/Arc. The award was conducted by Cincinnati Magazine which asked readers to nominate and vote for their favorite nonprofi ts. “This will certainly give us the needed exposure to cultivate parents and families who can benefi t from any or all of the programs we off er,” Gerding said. The Point – formerly NKAR – was charted June 6, 1972, when two parent groups from Campbell and Kenton Counties merged. “We created our Mission – to provide opportunities to individuals with an intellectual/developmental disability to reach their highest potentials educationally, residentially, socially and vocationally,” Gerding said. The Point off ers fi ve unique education programs – formerly held in fi ve separate locations. “In an eff ort to expand and bring all programs in one location, we had dedication of our new 9,000 square-foot Zembrodt Education Center on March 11,” Gerding said. The Point will purchase their 15th residentially inclusive property this month. “We have independent living – two apartments, nine traditional homes and three exceptional care homes,” she said. The Point also off ers the only overnight respite home in Northern Kentucky. And perhaps the proudest statement Gerding has made since the pandemic hit in March: “We have not laidoff one full-time employee. Our programs continue because of our donors and dedicated Pointy staff .” -The Point Andy Furman, The Point/Arc

Mistletoe: Tree thief, holiday tradition and history and care of poinsettias Once autumn leaves have fallen, mistletoe becomes highly visible on large trees throughout Kentucky. Phoradendron, the scientiﬁ c name for this parasitic plant, means tree thief. You can commonly ﬁ nd these small leafy plants on twigs and branches of many hardwood species in the southern two-thirds of the United

States. Mistletoe extracts water, mineral elements, and food from their host tree, by way of a parasite nutrient-uptake organ; hence the Sorrell name, tree thief. Mistletoe use in holiday traditions has roots in pagan times. It is parasitic nature and the fact that it appears to be alive while the host tree appears dead, led some to believe mistletoe mysteriously held the life of the tree during winter. Druids harvested mistletoe in a special rite, never letting the plant touch the ground, then hung it in their homes for good luck. Our modern-day mistletoe holiday tradition likely originates with a mythological Norse goddess of love and beauty. Frigga, whose son was restored from possible death by mistletoe, was thought to bestow a kiss on anyone walking beneath one. Today, when two people meet under the mistletoe, tradition suggests they must exchange a kiss for good luck. Phoradendron, the most common mistletoe growing in Kentucky, resembles another species that grows in Europe. It has simple, ﬂ eshy green leaves arranged oppositely on the stem. Stems are short and more branched than the host tree, so mistletoe often appears as a spherical bunch of dense vegetation. These bunches may be a foot or two in diameter and are located high in the tree for better sunlight exposure. Mistletoe berries range from white to straw-colored to light red. Birds eat the fruits, reportedly toxic to human and animals, then deposit the seeds onto branches where they germinate and penetrate the host tree. Since birds tend to roost in opengrown trees, mistletoes do not appear as frequently in forest trees. Generally, they do not cause much damage, although they can be harmful to a tree already under stress. If mistletoe appears on landscape trees or other trees in the urban forest, you can control it through pruning. History and care of poinsettias Poinsettias are a traditional Christmas plant, and are available in more than 100 varieties that include several

sizes, with color variations in shades of white, pink, red, burgundy, and even yellow. The colorful leaves are actually colored bracts (modiﬁ ed leaves), and the bloom is the small “beads” in the center. The poinsettia plant was found in Mexico by Joel Roberts Poinsett in 1825. In Mexico, the poinsettia is a perennial shrub that will grow 10 - 15 feet tall. He brought back a few clippings to South Carolina and they did so well in his greenhouse, that he distributed plants to botanical gardens and to horticultural friends. An Ohio State University study proved that poinsettias are not poisonous. However, digestive disorders may occur, so it is recommended to not let your kids or pets eat the leaves. Also, this plant family has a milky sap, which could cause some skin irritation. Poinsettias should retain their beauty for several weeks indoors and some varieties will stay attractive for months. When purchasing your plants, wrap carefully to prevent exposure to low temperatures, as only a few moments can do damage to the plant. Once home and carefully unwrapped, place the plant where it will receive about 6 hours of indirect light, avoiding warm or cold drafts from heat registers, open doors, or windows, and don’t let the plant leaves touch cold windows. Poinsettias are happiest with daytime temperatures of 60 to 70°F and nighttime temperatures around 55°F. If needed, move the plant to a cooler room at night, as higher temperatures will shorten the plant’s life. Check the soil daily. Water when the soil is dry. Take the potted plant out of the foil and set in the sink to water and let it drain freely. A poinsettia can stay fresh and attractive looking for several weeks in your home, and then will also grow nicely in a pot over the summer outdoors. Apply a houseplant fertilizer once a month to keep your plant looking fresh and healthy. Don Sorrell, Campbell County Cooperative Extension Service
