Treasured 200-year-old painting restored Fundraising campaign sends ‘The Three Maries’ to Cleveland Maggie Menderski Louisville Courier Journal USA TODAY NETWORK
Every time the 26-foot truck hit a pothole, Tim Tomes became increasingly aware of the 200-year-old treasure trailing behind him. The jarringly large painting — 8-feetby-10-feet — had been gingerly sealed in a custom crate for its trip to Cleveland. But that didn’t ease Tomes' whiteknuckle grip on the steering wheel. Or keep him from worrying that with each bump, another fleck of paint would fall from the aging, damaged canvas that offers a rare glimpse into the culture of 19th century Kentucky. He was transporting a lost state treasure, and the magnitude of that wasn't lost on him. Still he glanced down just long enough to check the clock as he crossed the Ohio River from Covington into Cincinnati. It was 12:11 p.m. on March 21, 2017. "I made note of the time because that’s the first time the painting) left the state of Kentucky in 194 years, and that was a big deal," he told me. Tomes wasn't an art expert. He wasn't even a truck driver. He was just a normal guy who'd felt a strong connection to a painting, and it sent him on a journey much longer than the six hours and 350 miles it would take to transport the aging work of art to northern Ohio for restoration. By the time I met Tomes in late January, nearly three years had passed since his nerve-wracking drive to Cleveland. The colossal painting, known as "The Dead Christ Mourned (The Three Maries) After Carracci," by Kentucky painter Matthew Harris Jouett and his apprentice John Grimes, had been suc-

cessfully restored. People had been viewing it at The Speed Art Museum, 2035 S. Third St., in Louisville, since October. Today, he's employed by the Archdiocese of Louisville and charged with digitizing all of the church's records, but rewind a few years and he was just a passionate volunteer in its archives. He remembered seeing the painting years before at St. Vincent de Paul Oratory where the archives were stored, but he came across it again damaged and propped up against a wall at Holy Family Catholic Church, 3926 Poplar Level Road, in 2015. The massive painting dwarfed even his own 6-foot-6-inch frame, and because of its size and un-
usual position on the floor, he found himself eye-level with the figures. "It draws you in, and it makes you part of it," he told me. In 1824, Jouett and Grimes painted Jesus dead in his mother's arms after the crucifixion. Three other women, or "The Three Maries" as they're referred to in the pieta's title, are consumed with grief. That emotion stuck with Tomes. So did the damage to the piece. Jesus's face had a traumatic rip across it, and one of the Maries was missing all her fingertips. The other faces were intact, but the canvas looked as though something had clawed at it — flaking paint from throughout the image
and leaving one, dynamic scrape along the far right side. The line cut one of the Maries in half and sliced through the feet of Christ. Someone, likely with poor judgment but good intentions, had attempted to mend the painting with duct tape and plaster of Paris. That caused even more damage to the piece. The original wooden frame was there, too, but it was so splintered and broken it looked more like firewood. Its original 22-karat gold coating was buried under seven different layers of paint. The painting had been a fixture in the choir loft above the organ at the CatheSee PAINTING, Page 4A
Kiss rockers make Covington shopping trip Paul Stanley and Eric Singer shop for furs Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Paul Stanley visited Donna Salyers' Fabulous-Furs. SCOOTER MEDIA
When Amanda van Rooyen woke up Friday, Feb. 14, she thought it all had been a dream. Had Kiss superstar Paul Stanley really reached out to her family-owned business in Covington? Did he really fly out just to get a private showing of their shop's furs? And the VIP access to his concert in Lexington? With drinks, a buffet, wrist-
bands and their own private section within reaching distance of Stanley's shoes. Was that all real? It was. Thursday, Feb. 13 was scheduled to be the first day of reconstruction at Donna Salyers' Fabulous-Furs Showroom located at 20 W 11th Street in Covington. But everything changed Wednesday, Feb. 12 when they received a call: Kiss was going to be performing in Lexington Thursday night, but before the show Stanley wanted to make a pit stop in Covington. For fur shopping. The show room was halfway empty by then to get ready for reconstruction. "Stop everything!" Rooyen said. They filled it back up, with styles and
sizes specifically planned for Stanley and band member Eric Singer, their managers and the superstars' wives and kids. "I had, like, the best day of my life yesterday," Rooyen said Friday afternoon, giggling over the phone. She said when Stanley walked out of the limo at their shop's door, he was wearing Fabulous-Furs' men's spotted wolf hooded faux fur coat. She screamed. "He's like a normal man with a rock star hairdo and fur," she said. Rooyen and her team snacked and See SHOPPING, Page 2A

Covington passes new rules for homeless shelters Erlanger resident Jamie Weaver, who is vice president on the board for the Emergency Shelter of Northern Kentucky, also thanked the city officials. He said more progress had been made in the past eight months than ever before on the issue. “There has been a lot of communication with the community, with the affected agencies,” said Covington Mayor Joe Meyer. “A lot of changes have been made.” People experience homelessness throughout Northern Kentucky. About 1,500 people experienced homelessness in the counties of Boone, Kenton and Campbell between July 2018 and June 2019, according to a report from the Northern Kentucky Homelessness Working Group. That group is made up of organizations that provide services to people experiencing homelessness in Northern Kentucky.

The homeless shelters in Northern Kentucky’s largest city have new rules to follow. The Covington Board of Commissioners approved an ordinance Tuesday, Feb. 11 that sets standards and restrictions for new and existing homeless shelters in the city. The vote aims to close the door on the community conflict that erupted around the draft ordinance that advocates for people experiencing homeless called “problematic," in letters sent to the city. In October, The Enquirer obtained a copy of the draft ordinance. Homeless advocates lashed out at the suggested elements that included strict location restrictions and bike rack requirements. Since then, things have changed. The most critiqued standards, including the location restrictions, are not part of the ordinance that the commission passed. Officials nixed the most contested elements from the bill. Commissioner Denny Bowman was the only commissioner who voted against the ordinance. He told the room he thought it was an example of government overreach. In October, Bowman told The Enquirer the commissioners had not included him in the discussions about the controversial draft ordinance. He reiterated that point Tuesday, Feb. 11. Representatives from the homeless shelters thanked the officials for their communication about the changes to the ordinance. There are five homeless shelters in Covington: Emergency Shelter of Northern Kentucky, Welcome House, Fairhaven Rescue Mission, Women’s Crisis Center and the Brighton Center Homeward Bound Shelter. “We want to express our thanks and say our experience with the city has been very positive,” said Cameron Parker, Treasurer for Fairhaven Rescue Mission. “We felt like our concerns have been addressed.”
What does the ordinance include? The shelters must: ❚ Be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and give access to toilet and shower facilities at all times. ❚ Not allow people experiencing homelessness at a shelter for more than 150 days each year, "except for good cause," according to the ordinance. The first version restricted the stay to 120 days. ❚ Not allow shopping carts or pets at the shelter, unless the pet is a registered disability or emotional support pet. ❚ Obtain a business license from the city. ❚ Provide a waiting area for people experiencing homelessness away from public sidewalks, streets and alleys. ❚ Give information to the Kentucky Homeless Management Information System on a quarterly basis and give the city access to the data.

shopped with the superstars for about an hour that afternoon. She said Stanley, Singer and their managers bought approximately 40 items during their stay. After the shopping, Stanley told Rooyen she had to come to their show in Lexington. Rooyen wasn't sure at first, with her kids at home, but Stanley said to bring them. Twelve members of the Donna Salyers' Fabulous-Furs family traveled to Lexington's Rupp Arena that night to watch the concert. For one employee's 10-year-old son, it was his first concert ever. Stanley set the Fabulous-Furs crew up with necklaces, wristbands and an escort through the back of the venue to their own private room. "He rolled out the red carpet for us," Rooyen said. When Stanley came by their room for pictures, he was not the same "normal" man in furs she met earlier; he was a rock star, complete with boots and skintight pants with rhinestones. She said he looked about 7 feet tall. The group was escorted to the front of the audience, in their own section close enough to reach out and touch the musicians on stage. The shop is under construction now – Rooyen said it needs an update – but it

will be hard to forget the last moments in the show room as it was. "It was unbelievable," Rooyen said. Stanley is not the only celebrity customer at Donna Salyers' Fabulous-Furs, Rooyen said. Oprah, Goldie Hawn, Kate Moss and others have also purchased furs from the shop.

Painting Continued from Page 1A
dral of the Assumption in downtown Louisville until a renovation in 1975. For years it had been misclassified as one of the church's European paintings that were gifts from overseas royalty to Kentucky's earliest Catholic churches. "The Dead Christ Mourned" was, after all, a copy of the work by Italian Baroque artist Annibale Carracci, which hangs in the National Gallery in London. It was an easy mistake to make. But it was one that kept the work's importance to Kentucky history as tucked away as the painting itself had been since the 1970s. Erika Holmquist-Wall, a curator at The Speed, often takes questions from the community about personal treasures. In a way, it's a bit like Antiques Roadshow on PBS. Part of her job is helping people realize what they have. Sometimes they're holding junk, and other times they have relics they can retire on. She was the one who answered Tomes' call from the church. Like the women in the painting, "The Three Maries" was in a state of utter despair, but Holmquist-Wall also saw the value in the feeble, flaking canvas. This wasn't just a damaged old painting — it was a piece of Kentucky history. Jouett hailed from Lexington and specialized in portraits. His family home in Woodford County, built in 1797 and named for his father Jack, is among the oldest and most historic homes in the state. Photographs were still futuristic in the early 19th century, and so he supported a wife and several children by painting Kentucky icons in their monumental moments. Players like Henry Clay, Isaac Shelby and John J. Crittenden all sat for Jouett to commemorate weddings and political gains. He's considered one of the most talented painters from the Commonwealth, and his "The Skater (Portrait of William Grant)" from 1782 is on display in the National Gallery of Art, just outside of Washington D.C. He rarely signed his work, so the more than 300 portraits he completed are difficult to track. Losing an 8-foot-by-10-foot painting
Wendy Partridge, left, and Andrea Chevalier of ICA - Art Conservation, worked to carefully realign canvas fibers to repair the many tears during the long restoration process. ARCHDIOCESE OF LOUISVILLE
takes a little more effort, though. Because of its immense size, it's relatively easy to track in old notices and records, but it's hard to know exactly when the Archdiocese came into possession of it even though the monstrosity does appear in Kentucky newspaper clippings over the years. There's even an auction notice from 1824 that lists its value at $100, more than $2,600 in modern dollars. Painted on three portrait-sized pieces of canvas hand-stitched together, The Three Maries is an oddity in the Jouett collection. Not only is it his largest work, but it's also his only religious painting. The painting wasn't commissioned. No one asked for a life-sized, Kentuckyesq copy of Carracci's interpretation of Jesus and four grieving women, which made finding a home for something that large all that much harder. The way Tomes and Holmquist-Wall tell it, Jouett likely used the piece as a teaching moment for his apprentice, Grimes. Picture the two painters in Jouett's Lexington studio in the early 19th century. Jouett, who wouldn't have seen Carracci's work in person, likely pulled out the 1813 Adam Clarke folio bible from a bookshelf and flipped open to a page with a small black and white engraving of the piece. Tomes imagines the artist stitching together the canvas and giving his apprentice a directive — the 1824 equivalent of "go big, or go home," he told me. Jouett wouldn't have known the real "The Dead Christ Mourned" from 1604 was only about 3-feet-by-3-feet or that
the Italian interpretation of the scene was done in vibrant, Renaissance-like colors. Instead, the two Kentucky men painted their Maries in the muted and mild tones they would have known from the clothing women and children wore in early 19th century Lexington. "When you think of early Kentucky in the 1820s, we’re the edge of the frontier," Holmquist-Wall told me, and a painting of this size and technique speaks to culture and even the sophistication of the time. "That tells a great story about how Kentucky was really growing at this time," she said. But keeping that story in one piece would take about $80,000 and a team of art and restoration experts. So Tomes launched a fundraising campaign to send The Three Maries to ICA Art Conservation in Cleveland to be restored. Over the course of two years, he gathered monies from 48 donors so the conservation experts at ICA could repaint those missing fingertips, reattach the face of Christ and remove as much of that plaster of Paris as possible. They sent the frame to Gold Leaf Studios in Washington D.C. to peel back the layers of paint on the original frame, coat it and put it back together. Although Tomes spearheaded the restoration movement, he is quick to give credit where credit is due. He didn't repair the canvas, restore the face of Christ, stabilize the back of the painting, fix the original frame or build the crate that it traveled in. There were so many hands and donors involved in this proc-
ess, he told me. His hands just raised the funds and drove the truck. That's how Tomes found himself driving Jouett's piece six hours north almost three years ago. And two years of meticulous preservation techniques later, that's how the painting ended up in its first public showing in more than 40 years. The Three Maries returned to Jouett's home state on April 9, 2019 at about 12:55 p.m. Tomes wasn't there to look at the clock as it crossed the Ohio River back into Kentucky — one white-knuckled trip was enough. This time it was insured and in the hands of art professionals, but even so, they noted the time for Tomes. He wanted to know the exact moment it came home. Nearly six months later, it made its debut at The Speed Art Museum because sending it back to the cathedral didn't make sense. Large organ pipes now cover the spot in the choir loft where it once hung, and they really didn't have a spot for it. The painting still belongs to the Archdiocese, but as Tomes says, it's more of a Kentucky treasure than a Catholic one. He believes it should be accessible to everyone. Originally he'd intended to welcome donors, conservationists and dignitaries to the restored painting's big reveal, but as time passed on, he extended the invitation to his mailman and strangers he met on the street. He wanted everyone to have a chance to see it. On the day of the event, there was no curtain to pull back or veil to be lifted. The painting was too large for that kind of fanfare. Instead, he let people wander into the gallery and have their own moment with it. And from a few steps away, he saw a few clutch a hand to their heart and catch their breath. He heard the small gasps and the utterances of surprise. He saw the same kind of raw, powerful emotions that sent him on that white-knuckled, extraordinary journey to restore a lost Kentucky relic.

in Latonia. This effort has been four years in the making, with leaders from two Veterans organizations in Covington leading the fundraising and design efforts – American Legion Post 203 and the Marshall Schildmeyer VFW Post 6095. The land for the new Memorial is owned by the Latonia Baptist Church. The new design will transform the current lone plaque that sits in a corner of Meinken Field near the Licking River into a more elaborate place where people can sit and reflect on the 30+ young men from Covington KY who gave their lives during this conflict. Committee Members include: Chuck Wills, Bill Batson, James Toebbe, Larry McSwiney, Denny Madden, Rita Madden, and Lori Acuff. Following the groundbreaking ceremony, there will be a celebration for all people and a “pinning” ceremony specifically for Vietnam Veterans (anyone who served in the military between 1955 and 1975 regardless of whether you served in Vietnam or not) coordinated by Kathy Payne, Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) across the street at the American Legion. Light food and soft drinks will be provided. Please plan to attend to pay tribute to all those who have served to protect our freedoms.

Creating art with beewax Beeswax seems like an unlikely medium to create art with, but it has been mixed with pigments and tree resin to create paint for thousands of years. Recently, there has been a resurgence in the popularity of this art form referred to as encaustic art. Local artist Tina M. Tepe works from her home studio, creating encaustic paintings and prints. An exhibit of encaustic abstract prints will be on display at Enlightenment Coffee in Walton. The exhibit runs from Feb 16 through Mar 31.

Do you have a goetta recipe or memory? Rita’s goetta Double the recipe if you like. The only changes I made from my family’s original recipe were adding broth, garlic and marjoram. So if you’re a purist like my German in-laws, leave them out. Just add more water to sub for the broth. Either way, it’s good. Ingredients 3-4 pounds fresh pork shoulder/butt, bone in or not, top fat trimmed just a bit 3 generous cups chopped onion and celery (include leaves) 3 bay leaves 2 tablespoons salt 1 tablespoon pepper ⁄2 to 1 teaspoon each: dried marjoram and garlic powder
1
1 quart low-sodium beef broth, and water enough to cover meat in pan. I added up to 6 cups. 30 to 32 oz. regular pinhead/steel cut oats Instructions Put everything but oats in large stockpot. Bring to boil, lower to simmer and cook, partially covered, until meat falls from bone, 2-3 hours or so. Add water as necessary to keep meat under liquid. Dump everything in a colander, straining broth for cooking oats. Set meat and veggies aside. (You’ll shred these while oats cook). Spray a large slow cooker and pour in hot broth. Pour in oats and stir. Cover and cook on high or low, stirring occasionally, until oats are thoroughly cooked. You may need to add water if oats look sort of dry before they’re cooked. Mine took about 21⁄2 hours on high.
Goetta with egg and bacon fried in a cast iron skillet. RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE ENQUIRER
Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist
A snowy wonderland greeted me when I woke up early this morning. The decision was made: today would be a goetta making day. Goetta, as you may know, is an iconic Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky food with Germanic origins. I don’t have space here to go into goetta’s history but check my site for a photo tutorial of my recipe using fresh pork shoulder/butt, plus recipes from readers, like Bernie Butscha’s great grandma’s recipe. Hers uses pork loin and ground chuck. Terry Balllman’s generational recipe has its origins at the stockyards in Cincinnati. June Cross’ includes beef shank and marrow bone. The Hoerst family uses ground beef
and ground pork. Others add a dash of cloves. Reader Jon Peters uses the recipe and pot handed down from his father-in-law. Jim Reinhart’s crockpot goetta is a reader fave. Get where I’m going here? About the only common denominator is pinhead, also called steel cut oats. We always used the 2 pound bag of Dorsel’s pinhead oats. I couldn’t find that at the grocery. I substituted Quaker steel cut oats, but the container was shy of 2 pounds. Yet the recipe turned out fine. You can use Irish steel cut oats. Don’t use quick cooking pinhead oats. My German in-laws made stove top goetta with freshly slaughtered pork shoulder/butt. My sister-in-law, Claire and I use a slow cooker for part of the process. Do you have a goetta recipe or memory? Coming soon: Doscher’s tea party specialities Chris Kimball of Milk Street
Cooked oats will be tender, liquid will be absorbed, and mixture will be thick enough and a bit clumpy looking for big spoon inserted in center to stand straight up. The thicker the consistency, the nicer your goetta sets up. Mix meat and veggie combo in with oats and continue to cook in slow cooker about 30 minutes, uncovered, stirring occasionally. Or put all in big pot and cook on stove until hot throughout. Remove bay leaves. Adjust seasonings. Line bread pans and spray. Put goetta in, packing tight. Smooth tops. Refrigerate uncovered for 12-24 hours. This creates a slight crust and allows goetta to set up firmly. Store, covered, in refrigerator or freezer. To serve: Cook until crisp with bacon or bacon drippings. It’s heresy in our family to cook any other way.

Walton-Verona, Ryle wrestlers win state championship titles James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer | USA TODAY NETWORK
LEXINGTON – Spencer Moore and Daulton Mayer are like coaches for the Walton-Verona wrestling team according to head coach John Roth. The pair brought home A+ grades for their teaching Saturday at Alltech Arena, winning state championships at the KHSAA state championship meet. Mayer, a senior, won the 195-pound championship, and Moore won at 106. “Daulton has been a leader all year,” Roth said. “As an ath-
lete, I wish I had 20 of him. As a human being, I wish I had 60 of him. He’s a great character, who he is, how he represents himself. “Spencer is like having another coach. I’ve let him dictate our lineup before and it’s worked out for us. He’s a smart individual. Every time I asked him to step up, he did.” Both Bearcats had dominant seasons. Moore, a sophomore, finished 48-0, with roughly half of those matches at higher weights, according to Roth. See WRESTLERS, Page 2B

We scored four girls in every event except for two. One of them was a girl swimming out of her normal event. The other one is a seventh-grader who was swimming her fourth-best event and dropped time. Ryle finished third in the boys standings, with top performers including senior Carter Reynolds, junior Benett Koenigsknecht and freshman Roman Furuta. The Raiders set school records in five of the six relays in both genders, Floyd said. The KHSAA state meet is Feb. 20-22 at the University of

Ryle swimmers celebrate historic win James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer | USA TODAY NETWORK
The Ryle swimming program has been on a gradual rise in the past few years. Teamwork brought the Raiders to new heights after the girls team made school history Feb. 7. Ryle won the Region 7 girls championship, ending Notre Dame’s 21-year winning streak in regional team championships. Ryle scored 412 points to beat the Pandas by 88, and win their first ever regional championship. Head coach Jeff Floyd said his swimmers’ willingness to swim different events than last year showed great teamwork. “That shows the unselfishness of the team,” he said. “They said ‘Coach we want to win this title; tell us what we need to do. We’re all in.’ A lot of coaches don’t have that flexibility or the talent that’s willing to put the program first versus themselves. That’s a testament to these ladies.” Ryle won one of the 12 individual event championships, the 200 freestyle relay, marking Ryle’s first individual event championship in program history. In addition, the Raiders had third-place finishes in the other two relays, and 12 combined top-five finishes in the eight individual swimming events. That included three of the top five finishers in one of the most difficult events, the 200 individual medley. The Raiders have a deep group led by Marshall University commit Audrey West, Rhodes commit Emily Robinson and several others who will swim in college. The 200 free relay champions consisted of seniors Audrey West and Avery Floyd, junior Kelsey Hammons and sophomore Bethany Weber.

Husband pleads guilty in crash that killed his wife Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Prosecutors recommended a 15 year prison sentence Thursday, Feb. 13 after an Independence man pleaded guilty to causing a car wreck that killed his wife, officials said. The release states Yakema J. Buckley, 40, was driving erratically heading south into Taylor Mill in a Cadillac on June 5. On Pride Parkway he drove the
Cadillac across a grass median into northbound traffic where the car was t-boned by a Chevrolet Suburban. Buckley and his wife, Buckley Crystal Ann Buckley, who was in the passenger seat, were transported to University of Cincinnati Medical Center for treatment. Crystal Ann Buckley succumbed to her injuries at the hospital. She was
37. Buckley's urine was tested after the crash and indicated that he had operated the vehicle while under the influence of benzodiazepines, fentanyl, opiates, cocaine and THC, according to the release. "It's a sad situation when a husband's conduct causes the death of his own wife but there's no way he should have been behind the wheel with all those drugs in his system. It's just inexcusable," Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Joseph Hill said in the release.
The driver of the Suburban received minor injuries and an 11-year-old passenger suffered a broken foot, the release states. Another child was in the Suburban during the crash but was uninjured. Buckley was charged with murder in June and pleaded guilty Thursday, Feb. 13 to manslaughter, assault and two counts of wanton endangerment, court records state. Final sentencing is scheduled for May 2.
Accused rapist was interviewed in prior Kenton case Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Boone, Campbell and Kenton county detectives are searching through unsolved cases after an accused serial rapist was indicted in Hamilton County. As of Wednesday, Feb. 12, one cold case out of Kenton County mentioned the accused serial rapist by name, officials said. Hamilton County Prosecutor Joseph Deters described William Brian Blankenship, 55, as “a pig” during a news conference on Tuesday, Feb. 11. “He needs to go to jail for the rest of his life,” Deters said. Blankenship is accused of assaulting two girls and a woman in the Mount Washington and Anderson Township areas between 1999 and 2001, Deters said. The victims are as young as 10 years old. Detectives said they believe Blankenship has lived in the Greater Cincin-

Moore won all five matches in the state tournament by pin in the first period, winning the KHSAA trophy given out for that kind of dominance. He had five pins in 6 minutes flat. “It’s cool to finally get to do this. I got second last year and it’s good to get the win,” Moore said. “A lot of hard work over the summer, preparing every day to get back here. Me and Daulton have been wrestling together since elementary school and we’ve been trying to get this goal since the beginning.” Mayer, a senior headed to wrestle for Thomas More, barely lost out to Moore for the quickest pins trophy, winning all five of his matches by pin, totaling 6 minutes, 17 seconds. He defeated regional rival Cooper Elliston of Conner in the final, getting a pin 34 seconds into the match. “It’s great,” Mayer said. “We’ll put our name on the big board and in the trophy case. It’s awesome to be a part of the great teams at Walton-Verona. There’s nothing like wrestling. You can put other sports up against it, there’s nothing like it. It’s the hardest sport there is.”

Kentucky. Here are some other takeaways from the Region 7 championships. BLUEBIRDS: Highlands won the boys team championship for the second straight year, scoring 542.5 points. The Bluebirds won the combined championship, beating Ryle by 55 points. Highlands won all three boys relays with a diverse group of Bluebirds. Will Griffith, Jack Banks, Sam Jones, Harrison Pawsat, Mac Russell were all on two of them. Senior Mason Opitz was on one and senior Tyler Brown another. Jones is a sophomore and the rest of this group is juniors. Russell was the top individual performer, winning the 50 freestyle and 100 freestyle. Banks won the 100 breaststroke and was second in the 100 butterfly. Jones finished second in the 200 freestyle and third in the 500 free. Griffith finished third in the 200 freestyle and the 100 butterfly. Pawsat was second in the 50 free and fourth in the 100 free.
nati area ever since those incidents. Blankenship’s most recent address is on North Street in Southgate, Kentucky, according to court records. Kenton County Commonwealth’s Attorney Blankenship Rob Sanders confirmed Wednesday, Feb. 12 that Blankenship’s name has already come up in at least one prior investigation out of Kenton County. Sanders said Blankenship was interviewed during an investigation turned cold case but not arrested or charged. He did not provide the date or location of that offense at this time. Cincinnati detectives met with Kenton County detectives Tuesday, Feb. 11 to give a summary of Blankenship’s case. Kenton County detectives are going through unsolved cases now to see if they can find any matches to Blankenship.
Sanders has been in contact with commonwealth attorneys in Campbell and Boone counties where detectives are doing the same. “Joe Deters has always been great to work with and I really appreciate him reaching out across the river to make sure that justice should be served on behalf of any victims that Mr. Blankenship might have on this side of the river as well,” Sanders said. Sanders said he has asked the Kentucky State Police Forensic Laboratory System to attain Blankenship’s DNA profile from Hamilton County to compare with unsolved rape cases in Kentucky’s database. But it could take 18 months or more to see if there are any matches. Sanders said it is “mind-boggling” how many unsolved cases could potentially be solved if only Kentucky’s DNA testing moved faster. “It’s literally jaw dropping to police and prosecutors in Kentucky when the
Hamilton County Coroner’s Office can turn around a DNA match in a week when we have to wait 18 months to get the same evidence out of our state police crime lab,” he said. Even so, Sanders said DNA technology has improved drastically in the last 20 to 30 years. He said cases that had too small of a sample size to be tested while they were being investigated might be sufficient to be tested now. And if any of them are a potential match to Blankenship, Sanders said he will ask “if not beg” Hamilton County Coroner Dr. Lakshmi Sammarco to do the testing in Hamilton County, so as not to wait longer than need be. If convicted of his current charges, Deters said Blankenship will spend the rest of his life in prison.
Mayer and Moore bring the number of all-time state championships for the Bearcats to seven, from six different individuals. Elliston had been ranked 14th in the state heading into the tournament before posting two one-point thrillers in the quarterfinals and semifinals. “This is the fourth time I’ve wrestled Cooper,” Mayer said. “I knew he’s a scrappy kid and I had to get the first takedown so I wouldn’t risk getting scrapped over. I was happy with how it went.” WV finished fifth in the team standings, winning the small school runnerup trophy. “It’s all them,” Roth said. “These guys put in the hard work, the time. It gives us a chance to coach. I’m proud of them. They didn’t take anything for granted. They always stuck together as one, and they never thought of it as one individual.” Northern Kentucky’s third title of the night came from Ryle sophomore Cole Thomas, who defeated Grant County’s Isaac Thornton 6-2 in the championship match at 120 pounds. Thomas is a two-time state champ after winning at 106 last year. Thomas was dominant all year, finishing an undefeated 54-0. He won his
first four matches by pin before a tough match against second-ranked Thornton, who was also a state runner-up last year. “It’s awesome,” Thomas said. “It’s my second time winning this and I’m hoping to get two more. I knew he was really good on his feet, so I minimized what he could do. I really just wrestled to my level.” Thomas was one of six state medalists for the Raiders, who finished fourth in the state to win a team trophy. Head coach Tim Ruschell was named coach of the year. “We have a bright future,” Thomas said. “Our team is made of sophomores. We won team duals and next year we’re aiming for the state title.” Besides the five finalists, Northern Kentucky had 16 other state medalists for a top-eight finish. WV had four, Simon Kenton four, Conner two, Scott two and Campbell County two, while Grant had one. Team standings: 1. Union County 299, 2. Christian County 200.5, 3. Johnson Central 131.5, 4.
