Northern Kentucky outer loop could cost $2 billion Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Imagine if you could save 20 minutes on a drive through Northern Kentucky. For north of $1 billion, that could be possible, according to the Northern Kentucky Outer Loop Study from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. Better traffi c fl ow, less congestion and room for business growth are a few regional benefi ts that could stem from the study, Northern Kentucky lawmakers told The Enquirer. Here’s how it would work: The $2 million study, fi rst released in March 2019, found four options to make an east to west drive in Northern Kentucky easier. The highway interchange options would connect Interstate 71 and the AA Highway. The routes, drawn south of Interstate 275, have an estimated cost of $1.2 billion to $2 billion, according to a report the cabinet released in February. A proposed Cincinnati Eastern Bypass, which included Northern Kentucky, would cost between $5.4 billion and $7.3 billion. A recent study concluded the bypass wasn't an option to ease regional congestion. The study is an "off shoot" of the Brent Spence Strategic Corridor Study, said Richard Sutherland, Transportation Vice President for Stantec. Stantec, based in Lexington, is the transportation consulting fi rm that compiled the Northern Kentucky Outer Loop Study. The four alternatives would provide “more direct access,” for east to west travel in the region, said Sutherland. “This is a road project that could take 10 years or more to do,” said Kentucky Majority Floor Leader Republican Sen.

Damon Thayer. “But, the thought process behind it is setting Northern Kentucky up for less congestion and better traffi c fl ow for the next 50 years.” It’s not a new idea, Thayer said, who represents parts of Kenton County. Discussions about building a southern traffi c loop date back 40 to 50 years, he said. Since the project is still in the study phase, lawmakers have not set aside money for the project. Boone County Republican Rep. Sal Santoro, chairman of a transportation subcommittee, told The Enquirer he wants to use his subcommittee role to fi nd funding for the project. By 2024, he said they could start planning and designing the outer loop. Santoro said the project could bolster business growth, too. “This keeps people in Northern Kentucky and the greater Cincinnati area with the possibility of more logistic positions for people to be employed at,” Santoro said. What happens next? ❚ Stantec will complete the fi nal report in the spring and turn it into the cabinet. ❚ If the cabinet decides to move forward with the project, it will use the report as a foundation, said Richard Sutherland, Santec's Transportation Vice President. ❚ Planning and designing is estimated to begin in 2024, according to Santoro.

A new cat cafe is coming to Covington this summer Briana Rice Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

He calls himself the Purrprietor. Chuck Patton, the owner of Purrfect Day Cafe in Louisville and a Fort Thomas native, is opening another cat cafe, but this time in Covington. He said it's going to be "eclectic, unique, a bit weird, similar to what I think about Covington." The location will be behind Braxton Brewery and will serve as a place where customers can interact with cats and possibly take one home. "The vision is not to be a cat person paradise," Patton said. "We're looking for animal people or those who are looking to be a part of a community or do something unusual." Cat cafes have been around since the 1990s. "In the United States, the cafes are more about adoption," Patton said.

The plan is for the bar to off er scones, coff ee, tea, brownies, beer, wine and bourbon. Patton said all of the pastries and drinks will have "punny" names such as paw-stries, paw-pcorn and hot kitt-teas. Purrfect Day Cafe will have a separate 1,000-square-foot room for the cats, who will not have access to the bar. "People think there will be cat hair in the scones and coff ee," Patton said, who added that there will be a separate HVAC systems throughout the facility to keep out cat hair and dander. The cafe is also still looking for community vendors to potentially sell food or drinks. "Our job will not be to cook food. Our job is to take care of the cats," Patton said. The cat room will have 15 to 25 kittens during the summer, Patton said. During the winter, the room will have around 15 to 17 cats. The Covington location will

partner with the Kenton County Animal Shelter. "Cats free-roaming is very low stress. We have visitors who help socialize the animals and that basically changes the personality and makes them wonderfully adoptable pets," Patton said. The Louisville location has partnered with the Kentucky Humane Society, and Patton said the cafe has raised $35,000 for the Humane Society since it ﬁ rst

opened in 2018. All of the cats at the Purrfect Day Cafe will be available for adoption, with the same process as it would be at the animal shelter in Kenton County. "You will be able to adopt while you're there if you fall in love with a certain cat. You'll ﬁ ll out an application, we'll do a slight background check and then you can take them home," Patton said. The cafe will have carriers, food to take home and education materials about how to acclimate the cats into your home. "We've had 2,360 adoptions since 2018. So we're trying to change the culture, to show that there are people who want cats. We've had 31,000 people visit the cafe," Patton said about his Louisville location. The family-friendly cafe plans to open the ﬁ rst week of June. Purrfect Day Cafe Covington will be at 17 W. Eighth St.

At least 776 cards compromised Covington engineering in case involving local ATMs Kevin Grasha

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A man with apparent ties to Bulgaria faces up to 40 years in prison for his alleged role in installing devices on local bank ATMs that compromised at least 776 card numbers, court documents say. The scheme involved using ATM skimmers to get data from debit cards, then using re-encoded cards to withdraw cash after entering personal identiﬁ cation numbers that had been stolen using video cameras, court documents said. Yordan Kovachev, who is not a U.S. citizen, is being held without bond at the Butler County Jail. Federal Magistrate Judge Karen Litkovitz said in court documents that Kovachev, who is 35, "has substantial contacts with a foreign country and could ﬂ ee the United States before trial." That country is not named in court documents, but a Bulgarian interpreter was present at a Feb. 27 detention hearing in federal court in Cincinnati. Kovachev has no job, court documents say. He was arrested driving a 2015 Mercedes-Benz sedan. His attorney, John O'Shea, did not respond to requests for comment late Wednesday. The ATMs were in Colerain Township, Norwood and Walton, Kentucky. The investigation began after an unnamed local bank reported to law enforcement that skimmers had been

found on two of the bank’s ATMs, in Colerain Township and Norwood. Several customers had disputed cash withdrawals from the machines. Withing two days in Kovachev early September 2019, the skimmer at the Colerain Township ATM compromised 391 credit or debit card numbers, court documents say. The skimmer in Norwood compromised another 218. Video from the Norwood ATM showed a man believed to be Kovachev – wearing a dark hat and grey longsleeve DKNY T-shirt – walk up to the ATM at about 12:50 p.m. on Sept. 7. Kovachev appeared to install a skimmer into the card reader, court documents say. He then inserted multiple cards into the ATM card reader without appearing to receive any cash, the documents say. Minutes later, a second, unidentiﬁ ed person – wearing a black hat and white, long-sleeve T-shirt – walked up to the ATM and installed a camera to capture customer PIN information, the documents say. That person then left. The next day, on Sept. 8, a vehicle that appeared to be a silver MercedesBenz drove through an empty parking lot in front of the Norwood ATM. An unknown person appeared to remove the camera installed to capture the PINs, the documents say. Minutes later, Kovachev and the second unknown person separately approached the ATM and inserted multi-

ple cards without receiving any cash, the documents say. Two weeks later, on Sept. 21, the documents say Kovachev withdrew $100 from one of the same bank’s ATMs in Deer Park. He used a debit card number that had been compromised at the Colerain Township ATM, according to the documents. On Sept. 22, an unknown person drove up in a silver Mercedes-Benz with Kovachev in the passenger seat. That unknown person withdrew $100 using a card that had been compromised at the Colerain Township ATM, court documents say. In October, court documents say the bank recovered a blank white card "with no embossing” from the ATM. The card had a chip on the front. On the back was a magnetic strip and a sticker with a hand-written four-digit number. Using the account number that was encoded on the card, the bank determined that a skimmer had been installed at its ATM in Walton, Kentucky from Sept. 20 to Sept. 21, 2019. That skimmer compromised 167 card numbers. Photographs of transactions from that ATM appeared to show Kovachev drive up in a silver, 2015 Mercedes-Benz sedan, with an Illinois license plate, court documents say. When he was arrested Jan. 21 in Pennsylvania, he was driving a silver, 2015 Mercedes-Benz sedan, the documents say.

ﬁ rm STEP CG plans to expand

83 jobs expected to be added at headquarters ASSOCIATED PRESS

COVINGTON – A Kentucky technology engineering fi rm plans to add at least 83 jobs with a $5.3 million expansion of its headquarters. STEP CG's headquarters is in Covington and will move to a location on the Ohio River, Gov. Andy Beshear's offi ce said in a news release Thursday, Feb. 27. The new facility will provide nearly 7,000 square feet of additional offi ce space, the release said. The company provides networking, voice, security and professional services for industries including health care, education, manufacturing, fi nancial, retail, legal, government and service providers. It has been headquartered in northern Kentucky since 2015. The Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority gave preliminary approval Feb. 27 to a 10year incentive agreement with the company, providing up to $900,000 in tax incentives.

Sandmann ﬁ les more lawsuits against media outlets Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Covington Catholic High School student Nicholas Sandmann has fi led lawsuits against fi ve national media outlets accusing them of defamation. Sandmann became part of a social media fi restorm in January 2019 when he was fi lmed with Native American activist Nathan Phillips in Washington D.C. The clip that went viral shows Sandmann and Phillips standing face-toface in a crowd. Phillips plays a drum and sings. The situation unfolded after the March for Life, which Sandmann and his classmates attended. Phillips was attending the Indigenous Peoples March. On Monday, Sandmann sued the ABC News, CBS News, the New York Times, Gannett and Rolling Stone. Gannett is the parent company of The Enquirer. These are just the latest lawsuits stemming from the incident on the National Mall. Sandmann sued CNN, NBC and the Washington Post in the fi rst half of 2019. The NBC and Washington Post lawsuits are still working their way through U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Kentucky, where the new suits were fi led.

CNN reached an out-of-court settlement with Sandmann. The details of that settlement are not public. The new lawsuits make similar arguments to the previous ones. According to the lawsuit, Sandmann and his lawyers accuse the media outlets of publishing false and defamatory reports that cast Sandmann in a negative light, which brought public ire and threats upon Sandmann and his family. Sandmann also states the media outlets relied on narrative from the "demonstrably unreliable" Phillips. Sandmann is seeking punitive and compensatory damages from all the media outlets. ❚ $275 million from NBC ❚ $250 million from the Washington Post

More Kentuckians know someone battling opioids. So is problem growing? Terry DeMio Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Are more Kentucky residents struggling with prescription drug use now than in the past several years? A newly released 2019 Kentucky Health Issues Poll may look that way. In the poll, 38% of residents responded they know someone who has experienced problems as a result of prescription opioid use. And that's more than have answered the same question in Kentucky Health Issues Polls every year since 2011, when the opioid crisis fi rst came into view. So, is the problem growing in Kentucky? Not likely, say leaders watching the opioid epidemic. "We can't separate an increase in knowledge versus an increase in use (of prescription opioids)," said Colleen Desmond, research associate with Interact for Health. The Norwood-based nonprofi t organization, which promotes good health in 20 counties around Cincinnati, sponsored the Kentucky Health Issues Poll and an Ohio Health Issues Poll. Both polls were released Thursday morning. Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky also sponsored the Kentucky poll. In Ohio, 33% of respondents said they know someone who's had problems from prescription opioid use. That response has remained steady over the years, Interact for Health researchers said. In Kentucky, 38% of those surveyed in the new poll know somebody who's suff ered from prescription opioids. That's up from 32% in 2011, the fi rst year the question was asked; up from 24% in 2017 and up from 30% in 2018. The survey answer refl ects awareness of someone with a substance-use problem not opioid use, said Van Ingram, director of the Kentucky Offi ce of Drug Control Policy. He points to other direct indicators that offi cials use to track the prescrip-

tion-opioid issue. "Overdose hospitalizations due to prescription opioids are down in Kentucky. Emergency-room visits are down," Ingram said, adding that "every factor" he looks at shows a downtrend. National sources agreed with Ingram. "More people could be responding that they know someone with substance use disorder related to prescription pain medication because as a society, we are now more aware than ever of addiction," said Robyn Oster, research associate with the Center on Addiction of New York City, a sciencebased, nonpartisan nonproﬁ t that researches and promotes policy and solutions to end the addiction crisis in the United States." She added, "The stigma regarding prescription opioid overdose deaths has decreased, which could lead to more people being willing to disclose their friends and family have been impacted. Experts say prescription-opioid misuse is falling because prescribing rates have dropped steadily in recent years. Fewer pain pills legally in circulation means fewer pills getting out to those without prescriptiosn. The 2017 prescribing rate in Kentucky was 86.8 opioid prescriptions for every 100 persons, a drop of 36% from a

peak of 137 opioid prescriptions per 100 persons in 2011, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. In Ohio, prescribers wrote 63.5 opioid prescriptions for every 100 persons in 2017, a 38% drop from a peak of 102.4 opioid prescriptions per 100 persons in 2010. And in another indicator, both states have seen a drop in overdose deaths due to prescription drugs in both states in 2018 (the most recent available data). In Kentucky, overdose deaths from opioids other than fentanyl, its analogues or heroin dropped 13 percent to 941 from 2017 to 2018, according to Kentucky Substance Use Research and Enforcement data. Overdose deaths involving opioids such as oxycodone and hydrocodone declined 42% in Ohio from 2017 to 2018, Ohio Department of Health records show. The two health polls also asked people if they know someone who's had problems with heroin or methamphetamine. In both states, the answers have stayed ﬂ at in recent years. Yet narcotics agents and treatment providers are seeing a rise in meth and those using it. Interact for Health President and CEO Dr. O'dell Owens was not immediately available to comment. But he said in a statement, "The data show that, while there was an uptick in the percentage of Kentucky adults with knowledge of abuse of prescription pain relievers in 2019, knowledge of use of other substances has not changed in recent years." The University of Cincinnati's Institute for Policy Research conducted both the polls on behalf of Interact for Health and in the Kentucky poll, the Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky. The margin of error for the poll of Kentucky residents is plus or minus 2.5 percentage points. In Ohio, the margin of error is plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.

NKY man gets 17 years in prison for selling meth Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

An Independence man was sentenced Wednesday, March 4 to 17 years and 3 months in prison on drug and weapons charges. Larry Coots, 54, pleaded guilty this summer to conspiring to distribute methamphetamine and to possessing a fi rearm to further his drug traffi cking. Investigators said he sold meth in Perry County for about seven months in 2017 before he was arrested. In December 2017, Coots ran away from a traffi c stop to a hotel, prosecutors said. Offi cers caught up with him and found two loaded guns, marijuana, pills and six ounces of methamphetamine, police said. Federal law states Coots must serve more than 14 years of his sentence before he will be eligible for probation.

Crossroads Church leverages donations to wipe out $46.5 million in medical debt Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Crossroads Church senior pastor Brian Tome mentioned the campaign nearly in passing. He spent about three minutes describing the burden of medical debt during his Nov. 23 sermon, entitled “The Marks of Multiplication.” Tome said members of the congregation could text “MULTIPLY” to 313131 to help “free others from medical debt,” but insisted the campaign was not a challenge. Just an awareness. It was also a great metaphor for his lesson on multiplicity. “When we are in debt, a sin debt to God, we can’t get our way out of the sin debt to God,” he said during the sermon. “Jesus comes and gives himself so we can pay oﬀ our sin debt, so we never have to worry about God hurting us for our sin.” Crossroads could give to free others’ debt, too, he said. And for every dollar they raised, Crossroad’s partner RIP Medical Debt would leverage that dollar to abolish $100 in medical debt, therefore multiplying the church’s impact. Within a week and a half, members of the Crossroads community donated enough to abolish over $46.5 million in medical debt nationwide. Over $42 million of those funds came back to Ohio families. “Most of it probably that weekend,” said Crossroads director of marketing Brennan Hill. “Cuz I think most people, if I had to guess, were doing it in real time. You know, if they were literally getting their phones out and texting in.” Church oﬃ cials announced the impact of their campaign on Feb. 23. Most of the funds came back to Ohio families since the church is based out of the Cincinnati region. But the sermons are streamed online, which means anyone in the nation can tune in and participate. RIP Medical Debt is able to track the donations back to their original ZIP codes to give back. So, if you donated

from Indiana, your donation was multiplied and given back to your community in Indiana. In Ohio, church ofﬁ cials say, they have abolished $42.8 million in debts across 41,233 households in

103 ZIP codes. They also abolished $1.9 million in debt across 2,974 Kentucky households, $1.5 million across 503 Tennessee households and $200,000 across 136 Indiana households.

What is RIP Medical Debt?

A debt that never goes away... even if you don’t know about it

An article posted by USA Today last year explains that RIP Medical Debt is a nonprofi t organization based out of Rye, New York, that arranges debt payoff s. The article said medical debt contributes to two-thirds of bankruptcies, according to the American Journal of Public Health. And a 2018 Kaiser Family Foundation/New York Times poll showed that of the 26 percent of people who reported problems paying medical bills, 59 percent reported a major life impact, such as taking an extra job, cutting other household spending or using up savings. “How sad that probably the only debt that you don’t choose to get – cuz you don’t choose to get sick – and it’s the one that’s aff ecting most people,” said Victor Martinez, spiritual growth site leader for the Oakley location. When a person can’t pay a bill, that debt is often packaged with other people’s debt and sold to bill collectors for some fraction of the total amount of the bill. RIP Medical Debt buys debt portfolios on this secondary market for pennies on the dollar with money from its donors. But instead of collecting the debt, RIP forgives it. To be eligible for repayment from RIP, the debtor must be earning less than twice the federal poverty level (about

According to the Federal Trade Commission, debt collectors have a certain number of years they can sue you and win to collect a debt. This rule is called the statute of limitations, and is six years in Ohio. This means that for any type of debt, a creditor cannot sue a debtor for debt collection purposes after six years, according to America’s Debt Help Organization. That timeframe begins when someone fails to make a payment on a debt. The clock will start again if you make a payment or provide written acknowledgment of your debt after the ﬁ rst six years are up. Martinez says that because of this law, many people who got a letter explaining that their debt had been abolished thanks to Crossroads didn’t even know they had medical debt. If it was after those six years, hospitals and debt collectors had stopped calling. “If those six years pass, then nobody can give you a call asking for that money,” Martinez said. “But you still owe that money, technically. And the only way that you can really get rid of it is if you ﬁ le bankruptcy, or if you pay for it.” Medical debt never goes away. It will stay on your record if you don’t pay it. The law just states that if you don’t pay it within that six year window, people will stop asking you to pay – not that you

Visitors will be invited to explore the ruins of the vessel scattered across the sea fl oor and now home to hundreds of animals, including eels and brightly colored fi sh. “Our team has been working for years to bring this amazing new environment to life for guests and animals to enjoy,” aquarium executive director Eric Rose said in a press release. “It will be like nothing else at Newport Aquarium.” Shipwreck: Realm of the Eels is one of the biggest developments at Newport Aquarium since it opened at Newport on the Levee in 1999. The shipwreck has fi ve zones that the aquarium describes this way: ❚ Captain’s Quarters: Rising up from the sea fl oor, the mast of the ship and tattered sails fl ow high above the remains of the captain’s quarters. A group of majestic green moray eels reaching up to 5 feet long have made their home there as masters of the ship. Nearby, the ship’s wheel awaits your turn as a fun photo opportunity with the eels and other residents, including spiny lobsters and hundreds of fi sh. ❚ Treasure Chest: The ship’s treasure was lost to the sea but has been found by beautiful jewelcolored fi sh who now make the treasure chest

their home. Step into their luxurious reef to be surrounded by 270 degrees of beautiful sea life and gleaming gold coins, a perfect spot to take a photo among the real treasures of the sea. ❚ Cargo Hold: Fascinating animals thrive among the barrels and crates that held the ship’s cargo. Batfi sh walk along the sea fl oor on their fi ns, dozens of garden eels pop up from the sand and fl ow with the current while strange and colorful frogfi sh imitate corals as they await the approach of their next meal. ❚ Ship’s Anchor: The ship’s anchor now plays anchor to a thriving community of fi sh and snowfl ake moray eels bearing white, black and yellow patterns that look like snowfl akes. The eels

share this safe spot with tangs, triggerfi sh, grouper and more. ❚ Ropes and Rigging: Enter the ship’s wreckage and pop up into a dome to be surrounded by the ropes and pulleys that once held everything together. They now form a forest of protection for the animals that call it home. Find venomous and beautiful lionfi sh with their long fl owing fi ns, spiny scorpionfi sh and the blackedge moray eel with its long fi n running the entire length of its body. The Newport Aquarium is open 365 days a year. Hours vary. For more information and to buy tickets in advance, visit NewportAquarium.com or call 800-406-FISH (3474).

are oﬀ the hook. Martinez said that now that he understands how the law works, he’s afraid to call and ask if he owes anything. Because, what if he owes a lot of money? He’ll be accountable to pay it, he said. “That is very scary,” he said. “Because what if I have medical debt that I don’t know about?”

‘A great analogy to what Jesus did for us.’ Crossroads offi cials did not want this story to be about them. “We kept it off social media,” Hill said. “We really want it to be about people in our community, like I said, who are currently giving.” Crossroads members don’t know who specifi cally they have impacted. They could not choose whose debt to pay off . In a letter to each debtor, Crossroads explained the campaign and said that they hope to provide more resources for those in need, whether that is through prayer or connecting them with healthcare professionals in their community. “We don’t want this to be the last interaction that we have with them, but there are no strings attached,” Hill said.”We just hope that they understand who Crossroads is, what our heart is for the community, maybe set foot in one of our sites.” This whole experience has been a great analogy to what Jesus did for us, Martinez said. “Jesus, before we knew who he was, he died for us, to forgive our debt,” Martinez said. “And here, we don’t know who these people are, and we are putting this money for their debt to be forgiven.” According to RIP Medical Debt, Crossroads’ campaign is its largest amount of medical debt that’s ever been retired. The nonprofi t’s site claims that its partnerships have erased almost $1.4 billion in medical debt to date.

COMMUNITY NEWS New Covington Vietnam Fallen Memorial On the afternoon of Feb. 22, 2020, ground was broken for a new Covington Vietnam Fallen Memorial, honoring 31 men from Covington who lost their lives during the Vietnam War. The new Memorial will be constructed at the corner of 38th & Church Sts. in Latonia, on land donated for the project by the Latonia Baptist Church. This eff ort has been 4 years in the making, with leaders from two Veterans organizations in Covington leading the fundraising and design eff orts – American Legion Post 203 and the Marshall Schildmeyer VFW Post 6095. 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 refl ect on the 31 young men from Covington KY who gave their lives during this confl ict. Committee Members include: Chuck Wills, Bill Batson, James Toebbe, Larry McSwiney, Denny Madden, Rita Madden, Lori Acuff , Mike Fitzgerald (deceased) and Jerry Bamberger (deceased). The names that will be engraved on the memorial are: HN Jeff rey Scott Aker PFC Raymond Bruce McKinney 1LT James Louis Ante SGT Joseph Wayne Miley SGT John Francis Buescher SP4 Carl William Mueller SSG Frank Bellew Dunford III LTC Alden Walton O’Brien CPL Michael Allen Dwyer SN James Everett Pierce PFC William Franklin Eldridge PFC Louis R.

NKY Vietnam veterans honored On Feb. 22, 2020, in conjunction with a groundbreaking ceremony for a new Covington Vietnam Fallen Memorial, over 30 Vietnam Veterans were thanked for their service and honored in a presentation by the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). Following the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Memorial, many Vietnam Veterans and their families retired to American Legion Post #203 in Latonia for the tribute and “pinning” ceremony. Kathy Payne, Janet Kinney and Rhonda Warren, all of the Rebecca Bryan Boone (Kenton County) Chapter of the DAR conducted the ceremony. “This is our 9th such tribute and pinning ceremony,” said presenter Kathy Payne. “So far we’ve reached well over 300 Vietnam Veterans as a Commemorative partner with the U.S. Department of Defense. Most of these Veterans have waited over 50 years for a simple acknowledgement and thank you for serving their country during one of the worst times in our country’s military history. A simple tribute and ‘thank you’ goes a long way with these Veterans who were the only generation never thanked for their service when they returned home.” Each Veteran received a packet of literature, bumper stickers, buttons and – most importantly – the oﬃ cial “Vietnam Veteran” lapel pin recently issued by the Department of Defense. The pin is navy blue with the gold head of a bald eagle. We hope this tribute lets the Vietnam Vets know in some small way how appreciative we are as individuals, and as a country, for their eﬀ orts to preserve our freedoms. Take the time to thank a Vietnam Veteran. March 29 of every year has been designated as National Vietnam War Veterans Day. Kathy Payne, Daughters of the American Revolution, for Covington Vietnam Fallen Memorial Committee

GROW NKY to release regional Immigrant Integration Community Plan at NKY International Festival GROW NKY, the strategic workforce collective working to leverage Northern Kentucky’s assets to grow, attract and retain a globally competitive workforce, announced that they will release a regional immigrant integration community plan at the NKY International Festival on March 14, 2020 at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center. The 2020 Gateways for Growth Community Immigrant Integration Plan is a follow up to research released by New American Economy (NAE) in partner-

ship with the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, Duke Energy and Gateway Community and Technical College in June 2019. “Successful immigrant integration drives economic growth,” said Leisa Mulcahy, Managing Director of GROW NKY and Vice President of Workforce at NKY Chamber. “Data indicates that immigrants represent a rich potential pool for workforce talent right here in Boone, Kenton, and Campbell counties. Introducing this new community plan at a regional festival celebrating diversity and unity simply makes sense. It’s the perfect venue and opportunity.” The initial research conducted by NAE was part of the Gateways for Growth award the NKY Chamber received last year for GROW NKY. The grant provided for a data report on existing immigrant populations as an important fi rst step in determining the impact the immigrant population has on the local economy as well as the workforce. The 2020 Gateways for Growth Community Plan will outline action steps to: ❚ Celebrate and promote Northern Kentucky’s global diversity ❚ Encourage and support strong immigrant leadership and civic engagement ❚ Facilitate meaningful cross-cultural connections ❚ Provide equitable access to community, health, and safety services ❚ Support students in gaining the education required to success in the workforce ❚ Establish and support inclusive recruitment, retention, and advancement strategies ❚ Enhance access to career pathways Northern Kentucky was one of only 14 communities selected nationally for the 2019 Gateways for Growth award to receive research from NAE and technical assistance from NAE and Welcoming America to support this work. The NKY Chamber also received a matching grant of $12,500 from Duke Energy. Grant partners included Northern Kentucky Workforce Investment Board, Duke Energy, Gateway Community and Technical College, and Catholic Charities of Louisville, Kentucky - Offi ce for Refugees. “We’re thankful for the support of GROW NKY and their commitment to inclusive workforce development strategies across the region,” said Darren Wurz of Covington Rotary. “The NKY International Festival is a free, familyfriendly celebration our region’s global heritage and we’re honored to be the springboard event for this vital report.” The NKY International Festival is March 14 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center. Admission to the NKY International Festival is free and open to the public. The festival is sponsored by GROW NKY, Duke Energy, Clark Schaeff er Hackett, Gateway Community and Technical College, Heritage Bank and Thomas More University. The NKY international Festival is also supported by a Rotary International District Grant. To learn more about GROW NKY visit nkychamber.com/GROW.

Peasant brown soda bread is quick and simple for St. Patrick’s Day Peasant brown soda bread The original recipe called for wheat germ. I didn’t have any, so I upped the whole wheat flour to 1 1⁄ 2 cups. My dough was really sticky. I’m thinking if you added wheat germ and less whole wheat flour (see recipe) the dough may be less sticky. Ingredients 11⁄ 2 cups all-purpose flour 11⁄ 2 cups whole-wheat flour OR 1 1⁄ 4 cups whole-wheat flour and 1⁄ 2 cup wheat germ ⁄ 4 cup quick-cooking oats

2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup room temperature buttermilk (I used whole buttermilk) 3 tablespoons honey Extra buttermilk or melted butter for brushing on top (optional) Instructions Preheat oven to 425.

Stir until soft dough forms. It may be sticky.

I’ve been intrigued by the recipes that have come my way for Irish brown bread leavened with baking soda. I’m thinking those recipes are surfacing because St. Patrick’s Day is around the corner. But here’s the deal. I’m not talking about the moist, buttery and fruit studded soda bread I’ve shared in the past. You can ﬁ nd that one on my site (and yes, it’s a family fave). What I’ve been wanting to make this year for St. Patrick's Day, is a simple, thick crusted, earthy, dense loaf with no discernible sweetness. I found a bunch of recipes and settled on this vintage one. It’s quick to make with a straight forward “wheaty” ﬂ avor.

Turn dough out on floured surface. Divide in half. I added a little more flour before I could divide it since my dough was still sticky. Shape each half into a round loaf, using a bit more flour if necessary. Place 4” apart on cookie sheet and pat down a little — a good inch or so. Cut a cross into each to “let the devils out.” If you want, brush with buttermilk or butter. Buttermilk makes a crisper crust and butter a softer one.

Bread before baking (left). Bread brushed with buttermilk (right).

Bake on middle shelf 10 minutes. Turn heat down to 400. Rotate cookie sheet. Bake 10 minutes longer or until dough sounds hollow when tapped and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Mine took another 5-7 minutes after to get done. It registered 200 on a thermometer stuck through the center.

We’ve eaten it warm from the toaster slathered with butter and marmalade. If I can manage to save some, I’ll serve it alongside a simple Irish stew. Otherwise, I’ll just make another batch. It’s that easy. Maybe you’ll be inspired to make this simple brown soda bread, too.

Makes 2 loaves, 5-6” each. Tip: Is baking soda still active? Add a little to vinegar or lemon juice. It will ﬁ zz right away if it still has leavening power.

Editor’s note: Information included reﬂ ects this article’s original publication date – March 8. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates. The Kentucky High School Athletic Association announced Sunday that it is monitoring the state’s coronavirus issue but has no plans to alter the schedules for the upcoming state basketball tournaments at Rupp Arena in Lexington.

Ryle girls basketball, Ninth Region champions, March 8. JAMES WEBER/THE ENQUIRER

Ryle defeats Notre Dame Academy for Ninth Region girls basketball title Win is Ryle’s third consecutive championship James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included reﬂ ects this article’s original publication date – March 8. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates. Brie Crittendon is the leader of the future for the Ryle girls basketball team. The junior guard, who is getting Division I college oﬀ ers, had the future ar-

rive sooner than expected Sunday afternoon during the KHSAA Ninth Region championship game at BB&T Arena. With Ryle senior guard and AllAmerican player Maddie Scherr on the bench with a sprained ankle, Crittendon scored 11 of her game-high 20 points in the fourth quarter when the Raiders needed them the most. Ryle, the reigning state champions, defeated Notre Dame 47-42 to win its third consecutive Ninth Region championship. Ryle was scheduled to play 14th Region champion Letcher County Central on Wednesday, March 11 at Rupp Arena.

“We will work with our member schools and our host facilities to take every precaution to ensure a healthy and safe environment for everyone involved.” Julian Tackett

KHSAA commissioner

“We have a lot of big guns,” said Crittendon said. “We have big posts, shooters. If we play our best game, we’re unstoppable.” Ryle is the third team in Ninth Region history to win three consecutive championships, following Boone County (1981-83) and Highlands (199496). They are one of three teams in this year’s Sweet 16 to have an active streak of three years or more, counting Third Region champ Owensboro Catholic (three) and 10th Region champ George Rogers Clark (four).

“We are keenly aware of the recently declared emergency status and the primary purpose for which those declarations were made, to enable and expedite federal assistance with state and local eﬀ orts,” KHSAA commissioner Julian Tackett said in a news release. “We will review any new develTackett opments and listen to medical experts as they advise not only the KHSAA but our commonwealth and country on alternative next steps.

Kentucky High School Basketball Hall of Fame ‘worth ﬁ ghting for’ Jason Frakes

Louisville Courier Journal USA TODAY NETWORK

ELIZABETHTOWN – Perhaps it’s appropriate the Kentucky High School Basketball Hall of Fame is housed in an old Presbyterian church, because Greg Purpus swears he hears ghosts roaming the halls from time to time. “When the lights are oﬀ and I’m here by myself and I walk in that museum, those ghosts speak to me,” said Purpus, who took over as the hall’s chief operating oﬃ cer in November. “Those moments and those times are special.” The voices and stories are familiar to those who follow high school basketball in Kentucky: — The radio call from Paul Andrews’ “Shot Heard Around Kentucky,” the midcourt heave that gave Laurel County a 53-51 victory over North Hardin in the 1982 state championship game. — Open one of the many lockers in the museum and you’ll hear some of Kentucky’s coaching greats – Scott County’s Billy Hicks, Clay County’s Bobby Keith, Sacred Heart’s Donna Moir – giving instructions to their teams. — Have a seat in the metal bleachers and watch a 14-minute video on the history of high school basketball in the state.

An exhibit inside the Kentucky High School Basketball Hall of Fame.

“I want people to feel that and remember that,” Purpus said. “I want people to see a picture and go, ‘Yeah, I remember that guy. He was great. I remember that girl. You couldn’t stop her.’” The Kentucky High School Basketball Hall of Fame was founded in 2011, and the museum (212 West Dixie Ave. in Elizabethtown) opened in the summer See HALL OF FAME, Page 2B

of 2017 with the mission of promoting “the essence of the game.” It’s open to the public from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Wednesday-Saturday, but teams and groups are welcome to visit any time if they make arrangements beforehand. The hall inducted its fi rst class in 2012 and reached 100 members in 2017. After taking a break in 2018, 12 more members were added in 2019, bringing the current total to 112. The Class of 2020 will be announced in March and inducted during a ceremony set for July 11. The hall of fame was the vision of the Kentucky Association of Basketball Coaches, then led by Ken Trivette, Curtis Turley and Ron Bevars. “We believe that the whole state of Kentucky is our hall of fame – our gymnasiums and communities and players and coaches and people who have contributed to the game in many diff erent ways,” Trivette said. “The building is like the hub of the wheel. It houses a lot of the history of the game, and we hope that it evolves over time as we have the resources.” The museum is fi lled with photos both old (Clem Haskins playing in the 1971 Dirt Bowl in Louisville) and new (Elizabethtown star and 2016 Miss Basketball Erin Boley). There are plenty of interactive displays, including a pop-a-shot game, drawing up plays on a clipboard and a region-by-region touchscreen with information about every hall member. Visitors also can measure their vertical

The Raiders continued that streak without their senior star, an Oregon signee who was named Gatorade Player of the Year in Kentucky last week, and is the favorite to be named Kentucky Miss Basketball in April. Scherr, averaging 16 points and Ryle’s all-time leader in every major statistic, sprained her ankle three minutes into the game. She needed help from two trainers to walk into the locker room, and she stayed there the rest of the half. Scherr came out at halftime and warmed up some, but was held out of the game for precautionary reasons. “I was defi nitely a little nervous,” Scherr said. “Obviously, going down at the beginning of the game what you never want to see, and thinking about it being my last high school game. They pulled it out. I’m super proud of them. I’m excited.” Scherr had an ice pack wrapped around her ankle late in the game. It’s the same ankle that caused her to miss some time early in the season. “Her health is always going to be fi rst,” said Ryle head coach Katie Haitz. “We needed to make sure that if we put her in: One, that she was going to be safe, and two, that she would be able to contribute. She’s such a competitor.” Without Scherr, the teams went back and forth through three quarters. A pair of baskets by senior guard Jaiden Douthit twice gave Ryle a fi ve-point lead in the third quarter. A 3-pointer by Jill MacKnight and a layup by Macie Feldman tied the game at 29-29 for NDA.

leap against that of former Male star and NBA All-Star Darrell Griffi th, who once reached a 48-inch jump. There’s also a display honoring some of Kentucky’s most surprising state champions – Carr Creek in 1928, Horse Cave in 1944, Cuba in 1952 and Edmonson County in 1976. Purpus said he has several shortterm goals for improving the museum, focusing on awareness, donations and memorabilia. He’s excited to add a recent gift – a pair of Converse shoes autographed by former Allen County and Western Kentucky University great Jim McDaniels. “I don’t feel like people know about us,” said Purpus, who had retired after a 27-year career working in admissions and orientation at WKU. “We’re only 7 years old. I’ve got to go from Pikeville to Paducah and get the word out. … “I’m into colors, logos. I want to see uniforms, basketballs. I want more of that kind of thing, things in display cases.” Purpus said there are busy days when elementary and middle schools visit, but routinely it’s “a handful of people off and on.” He dreams of expanding the museum into a nearby lot before adding, “That’s way down the line in my opinion. I’m trying to survive day to day right now.” The hall got a nice fi nancial boost recently when Dr. Mark and Cindy Lynn became a title sponsor for the building. “We have a small business, and over time we think it will take hold a little bit at a time and it will last,” Trivette said. “What we’re doing has value. Anything that has given so much joy to so many people in so many diff erent ways … that value cannot be understated. As we go out and engage other communities, we will make them a part of it. That takes time.” The hall recently partnered with the Kentucky Historical Society on a mobile exhibit that visits games throughout the state. A new “Glory Road” program will honor some of the state’s most historic gyms, with Hazard’s Memorial Gymnasium recently becoming the fi rst to be

recognized. Trivette said he hopes to add at least one gym in all 16 regions over the next four years. Purpus knows he has a lot of work to do to keep the hall going but says he’s committed. “It’s worth ﬁ ghting for to me,” he said. “It’s a passion. It’s something I believe in. Will the next generation really embrace like the past generation? I don’t know. … I have a big task, but it’s going to be a labor of love.”

man gave Ryle a 32-31 lead after three quarters. A free throw by NDA sophomore Lacey Bradshaw tied the game at 32-32 early in the fourth quarter. Holtman gave the Raiders the lead for good with a jumper, 34-32. Crittendon scored two baskets in a row, then eighth-grader Sarah Baker made a free throw to give Ryle a 39-32 lead. With Ryle leading 39-35, eighth-grader Quinn Eubank stole the ball in the Ryle backcourt, starting a sequence that led to a basket by Crittendon to put Ryle up by six. Crittendon made 5 of 6 free throws the rest of the way to keep the Pandas at bay. Shortly after Scherr’s injury, Haitz called a timeout to make sure her team adjusted to the change. When Scherr came back on the bench in the second half, she was encouraging her teammates and discussing strategy with the coaches. “We’ve played some games without her. She’s our All-American. She does so many things for us. I told them you got to get together,” Haitz said. “You got to focus on what we can do as a team. We got to play the game and play for one another. They paid attention, they did the little things right and that’s why we were successful at the end because they were able to make those changes. We have a lot of young ladies who grew up today. No one can take (Scherr’s) spot but they stepped up and did what we needed them to do.” Crittendon was named the tournament most valuable player. “I follow Maddie’s footsteps a lot. Her being out made me feel like a leader,” Crittendon said. “My ﬁ rst thought was, 'Dang it, our best player is going out.' We had to take the opportunity to step up. (I felt the pressure a little bit, but throughout the game it just wore oﬀ .” Ryle shot 50 percent for the game (14for-28) including 5 of 10 from 3-point

range. The Pandas were over 50 percent from two-point range (11-for-21) but just 3 of 19 from behind the arc. Besides Holtman, Ryle got key minutes from two eighth-graders, Eubank and Baker, who combined for nine points. Baker, a center and the tallest player for both teams, had several key rebounds. “They didn’t have anybody who could match her height,” Haitz said. “She was more physical and able to get to the basket and they weren’t sure what to do with her. She did a great job of not fouling and she was great on the defensive side, got some strong rebounds for us.” Notre Dame, 25-7 this season, played seven sophomores and two juniors in the contest. That day’s regional ﬁ nal paired the only two Northern Kentucky head coaches who have state championships: Haitz and NDA head coach Kes Murphy, who won it with Holy Cross in 2015. “They had players that are really good that were able to pull their young kids through despite not having Maddie on the ﬂ oor,” Murphy said. “And we showed our youth. We played like sophomores. We didn’t have anybody step up and score the ball. That’s the message we ended on. Sometimes you’ll experience disappointment, and you have to get through failure to grow. The challenge is you have to put the time, be a better player to ensure we get better as a team so we don’t experience this again.” RYLE (22-11): Eubank 2 1 5, Crittendon 5 9 20, Holtman 3 0 8, Scherr 1 0 3, Douthit 3 0 7, Baker 0 4 4. Totals: 14 14 47. NOTRE DAME (25-7): Hicks 0 2 2, Feldman 4 3 11, Hemmer 0 1 1, Thelen 2 1 6, MacKnight 2 2 8, Bradshaw 6 2 14. Totals: 14 11 42.

“We will work with our member schools and our host facilities to take every precaution to ensure a healthy and safe environment for everyone involved.” Tackett called the past four days “particularly intense and nearly 24/7 for myself as commissioner as well as others in communication with our oﬃ ce, with a continual review of information and advisories.” “We continue to work closely with the staﬀ at Lexington Center and are 100 percent certain that all necessary steps are being taken to control what we and the facility can control,” Tackett said.

The KHSAA offered three tips for Sweet 16 fans: 1. Hand-washing should be emphasized. 2. Individuals who are sick should not plan on attending. 3. Those with particularly vulnerable health conditions, especially the elderly, should be encouraged to thoroughly evaluate their decisions to attend. Gov. Andy Beshear provided an update Sunday, saying a total of four cases of the COVID-19 coronavirus have been conﬁ rmed in Kentucky, two in Harrison County and one each in Jefferson and Fayette counties.
