Boone County rare leucistic Red-tailed Hawk rehabilitated

RAPTOR Inc., a nonprofi t based in Milford, Ohio, which rehabilitates up to 350 birds of prey a year.

Executive director Cindy Alverson told The Enquirer that Lucky suff ered from lead poisoning, likely from ingesting lead from bullets while snacking on something.

Lucky got a fl uid therapy, called chelation therapy, to draw out the lead from her body. On Sunday, RAPTOR Inc. released Lucky back into the wild.

“This one received a miracle,” Alverson said about Lucky’s recovery.

I asked Alverson what people can do to prevent injuring other birds of prey. She said people should avoid using lead ammunition and fi shing hooks while hunting. More information is online at http://raptorinc.org/raptor-conservation/.

Chief Maris Herold held back tears when she spoke to the press, reporters said. Ten people were dead, one of them a Boulder police offi cer – her police offi cer.

“I have to tell you [of] the heroic action of this offi cer when he responded at the scene,” Herold said, explaining the Boulder Police Department got a call about shots fi red early in the afternoon. “Offi cer Talley responded to the scene – he was the fi rst on the scene – and he was fatally shot.”

Herold was named Boulder’s police chief last year, taking the helm of the department in April.

Prior to that, she was the police chief for the University of Cincinnati following both the fatal police shooting of Sam DuBose by former UCPD offi cer Ray Tensing and then the abrupt resignation of her predecessor following an investigation into his interactions with a female witness.

Cincinnati police Lt. Steve Saunders said Herold took command in Boulder during a pandemic and then faced student unrest over the summer – and now the loss of an offi cer.

Cincinnati police posted a tweet March 22 expressing their sympathies to the Boulder police and the city.

Herold served on Cincinnati police force for nearly 25 years. She worked on the team that guided the department through the Collaborative Agreement, the contract between the community and its police following the civil unrest in 2001.

Saunders called her an “innovator,” and said the city’s award-winning PIVOT program was her “brainchild.” The program uses data-driven metrics to pinpoint crime hotspots, sometimes down to a single apartment within a building.

She is also credited with increasing morale and instituting progressive reforms while serving as chief at the University of Cincinnati.

She graduated from Dixie Heights High School in Edgewood, Kentucky and later got her master’s degree from Xavier University. She joined the CinSee HEROLD, Page 2A

KENTON RECORDER

Villa Hills police fatal use of force:

OPINION

Prosecutor said offi cers justifi ed in shooting on I-75 Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Kenton County Commonwealth’s Attorney Rob Sanders said March 19 that two Villa Hills offi cers were justifi ed in the use of force in a Feb. 20, 2021, death of Randall Lockaby during a traffi c stop on I-75.

Lockaby, 57, of Manchester, Kentucky, was taken to St. Elizabeth Hospital Medical Center in Florence where he died. The shooting took place outside of Villa Hills, but police have county-wide jurisdiction.

Offi cers Sean Dooley and Jacob Bolton did not violate any laws based upon a review of the Kentucky State Police investigation, said Sanders.

Lockaby was seen drawing a handgun from his waist and pointed the gun at offi cer Dooley, according to a letter Sanders sent to Villa Hills and KSP offi cials. Dashboard camera video from Bolton’s cruiser and body camera video from both offi cers captured the entire incident in which Lockaby refused to follow Dooley’s commands to step to the rear of the vehicle, according to the letter.

Sanders said Bolton fi red after he saw Lockaby point a gun at Dooley. Bolton reasonably perceived the need to use deadly force to prevent Dooley from being shot, according to the letter.

The prosecutor said the offi cers had a reasonable belief they would be harmed based upon Lockaby’s threat to use the handgun on the offi cers.

Sanders told The Enquirer that he has spoken with Lockaby’s family.

“They say this is very out of character for him, and our thoughts and prayers are with is family,” he said.

Police started the traffi c stop as a speeding incident on I-75, Sanders said.

Investigators found that Lockaby was a convicted felon who was not legally allowed to carry a gun.

Lockaby may have known offi cers would fi nd multiple handguns in the car, and that he would go back to prison, he said.

“I don’t think this confrontation was anything anyone knew was coming other than Mr. Lockaby,” Sanders said.

PROVIDED/BRENT SPENCE BRIDGE CORRIDOR WEBSITE

Bridge expansion plan is fatally fl awed Joe Meyer, Ron Washington, Tim Downing, Shannon Smith and Michelle Williams Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

EDITOR’S NOTE: The following oped was signed by the fi ve members of the Covington Board of Commissioners.

While we all recognize that the Brent Spence Bridge needs improvement, regional leaders who advocate for the current expansion plan on the table continue to overlook the fatal fl aws of that plan.

The 16-lane solution still being touted in the media is far too big for what’s needed, doesn’t fi x congestion, requires billions in additional investment, risks regional icons like the John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge, and – as far as Covington is concerned – not only hurts our businesses and residents, but interferes with our economic growth and that of the entire Northern Kentucky region.

Kentuckians looking at spending $2.6 billion-plus to fi x a problem whose solution has been discussed for decades have the right to expect that the problem will actually be fi xed.

Size and congestion: The need for a 16-lane span was debunked through the further study in the 2017 Brent Spence Bridge Corridor Analysis. It is overdesigned by 30% and still doesn’t

pect is in custody and there is not further threat to the public. SWAT negotiators were heard shouting to someone at King Soopers grocery store during a standoff before a man was seen being arrested.

King Soopers is owned by the Cincinnati-based Kroger Company, which issued a statement March 22 saying the Boulder store would remain closed for the time being.

Investigators have not yet revealed the gunman’s motive for taking nine civilian lives and the life of an offi cer.

“My heart goes out to the victims of this incident and I am grateful to the police offi cers that responded,” Herold said. “And I am so sorry about the loss of Offi cer Talley.”

solve the problem southbound. The plan calls for the eight southbound lanes crossing the bridges to revert to the current four lanes just south of Kyles Lane. The hill is already congested during the evening rush hour. The I-275 Interchange is already a challenge. More bridge traffi c will add to, not reduce, the congestion. All this does is worsen the evening rush hour and move it further into Kentucky. Getting to work will be easier; getting home will be harder.

Footprint: The scale of the proposed bridges is hugely disproportionate to our community and does severe damage to Covington, its businesses and neighborhoods. The current bridge has 42 feet of pavement. The plan proposes to build an adjacent bridge with 128 feet of pavement and keep the current bridge, more than quadrupling the landing area in Covington. Imagine – get a picture in your mind – of a bridge complex that’s four times the width of the current bridge.

I-75 did immense damage to Covington; this makes it far worse.

Exit: Even with the massive rebuild, Covington as a destination is treated as an afterthought. Access to Covington from I-75 southbound is reduced to a single lane that has to be accessed at the Cincinnati Museum Center if a person wants to exit to Covington.

rent plan. There’s a fundamental fl aw in the design of the region’s traffi c network: all the traffi c is funneled into one major route. As the ODOT Brent Spence project manager acknowledged years ago, "We could continue to build lanes on 75, but they would fi ll because of the nature of the traffi c network in the region." In other words, this region cannot build its way out of the traffi c congestion issues without fundamental changes in the design of the overall network.

Financing: The only fi nancing plan to date calls for tolls. Perhaps there will be a way to proceed without tolls. Miracles happen. But until the "no-toll" fi nancing plan is developed, the evaluation of the plan has to take tolling into consideration. The funding solution needs to ensure the fi nancial burdens are shared fairly by the region it benefi ts and doesn’t divert a third of the traffi c onto other bridges and through our city.

Diversion: Namely, tolls will cause traffi c diversion, and lots of it. A Kentucky Transportation Cabinet study projects 77,000 cars each day will leave I-75 and use alternative routes to avoid paying tolls on the bridge. Don’t believe it? Traffi c on Louisville’s Kennedy/Lincoln bridge fell from 125,700 vehicles in 2013 to 64,200 in 2018, a 49% reduction, after the bridge was

A Place To

be you Mount Notre Dame

is Cincinnati’s oldest all-female Catholic high school, founded in 1860 by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, and is part of the worldwide Notre Dame Learning Community. MND provides a college preparatory learning environment with an average class size of 19 students. Led by its talented faculty, each student is challenged through a broad selection of engaging classes, including 26 Honors and 20 Advanced Placement (AP) courses. Instruction is enhanced through collegiate-style Block Scheduling and a One-to-One Tablet PC Program that supports a variety of learning styles. MND graduates are prepared for the journey that lies ahead.

www.mndhs.org

My Action Plan (MAP) is a signature Empowerment Program developed by Mount Notre Dame and is driven by our mission “to educate and empower young women to learn, live, lead and serve”.

This four-year program allows students to participate in experiences that develop and challenge them in the areas of academic, student and spiritual development. The program also includes goal-setting and academic planning with guidance from faculty and school counselors. The freshmen focus on the theme of Learning and are welcomed into the community through the support of a one-on-one staff guide to aid in their transition to high school at MND. The sophomore MAP theme of Living with Principles is woven into cross-curricular projects in the students’ Social Studies, English and Religion courses. To explore the theme of Leadership, juniors participate in a variety of activities such as a book discussion, strength assessment, film study, a leadership panel of local women leaders and optional conferences.

At the end of their junior year, students write an individual Capstone Project Proposal that they will work on during their senior year as they live out the theme of Service. The Capstone Project provides students with real-world communication, problem solving, event planning, organization and budgeting, and many other life skills. Each student presents her project to a panel of adults and completes her senior year with an application for commencement where she shares how she has grown in the Characteristics of an MND Empowered Young Woman during her four years at Mount Notre Dame. This marks the completion of their MAP journey.

You can find out more about the MAP program and more of the outstanding academic, spiritual and student development opportunities available to students by visiting our website at www. mndhs.org.

Notre Dame Academy For well over a century Notre Dame Academy students have been ignited with a passion for learning. Through the culture of innovation at NDA, they have become critical and creative thinkers, effective communicators and skillful collaborators.

Today’s students at Notre Dame Academy are the innovators of tomorrow.

At NDA, this culture of innovation is not a trend or a buzz phrase but rather a critical component of a Notre Dame Academy education established by the Sisters of Notre Dame. Well over a century ago, the Sisters were visionaries and innovators themselves.

At a time when women didn’t even have the right to vote, the Sisters of Notre Dame realized the importance of educating young women.

Inspired by the Sisters of Notre Dame, the community of Notre Dame Academy continues to respond to the needs of the times. This past year has put NDA to the test as the school adapted to the continuously evolving coronavirus pandemic.

Embracing the innovative spirit of the Sisters of Notre Dame, NDA administrators, faculty, staff and students were diligent and open-minded as they answered the call to take on the challenges COVID-19 presented to the educational experience.

The school community worked hard to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and as a result, NDA students have had the opportunity to experience in-person learning during nearly 90% of the school year. While many schools have experienced an achievement gap due to the disruption of COVID-19, Notre Dame Academy students have stayed on track.

Do you know a young woman who is ready to make a difference in the world?

Notre Dame Academy is NKY’s ONLY single-gender high school for young women! Deeply rooted in the teachings of the Catholic Church and in the charism of the Sisters of Notre Dame, NDA is committed to providing a holistic education that develops young At Notre Dame Academy, we believe in an education women to be confident lifelong learners who are excited about that combines the timeless wisdom of our Catholic using their God given gifts to make a difference in our world!

faith with the necessary skills that our students will need to adapt to a continuously changing world. With an innovative approach that integrates academics, arts and athletics, we are molding young women to have a vibrant faith and a passion for learning.

Empowering Students at Seton: Faith, Academic Excellence, Leadership and Service In the tradition of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton and through the mission of the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati, Seton High School develops a diverse population of young women for a life of faith, service and leadership, and engages them in achieving academic excellence in a college preparatory environment. The mission and values of Seton High School, strong academics and a true sense of spirit and sisterhood are why thousands of young women have chosen to become Seton Saints.

Faith Our strong Catholic faith is intertwined in every aspect of the school. From daily morning prayers, school-wide liturgies, retreats and extracurricular activities, faith formation is the most important part of the Seton experience.

Teachers and staff are committed to educating the whole student, and we are proud to have an environment where our students can be empowered by their faith. Building a strong faith foundation is imperative for molding the strong, dedicated women of this world.

Academic Excellence Seton is proud to offer an exceptional academic program that will challenge students to excel both in and out of the classroom. Outside of our highly competitive Honors Program, students are placed in either Honors or College Preparatory classes. They are immersed in a technology-rich environment that prepares them for life beyond high school. Every student participates in ACT Test Prep as a part of their regular studies. Students have the opportunity to choose from 13 Advanced Placement courses (AP), eight of which are offered for early college credit through the University of Cincinnati and the College Credit Plus Program on our very own campus. These courses are taught using the college curriculum that students would receive on a college campus, allowing students to earn over 60 college credits upon graduation.

With a flexible, modified block schedule, not only do students take challenging academic courses, but every student has additional opportunities to grow as leaders and members of the Seton community. Students take part in leadership formation, speaker series, House Government activities and community service experiences.

Leadership All students are expected to take a leadership role in this school – big or small. What’s more is that they exceed expectations each year! “Students can be leaders in the classroom, on a sports field, in extracurricular clubs and activities, on stage and in their communities,” says Seton High School President Kathy Allen Ciarla. “Seton Saints graduate with skills, confidence and moral grounding to lead the way onto their chosen colleges and career paths.

With 12 fine arts programs, 12 varsity sports and more than 30 extracurricular activities, there is no shortage in growth opportunities.”

Seton High School is proud to have embraced a House Government System. Here students are divided into four groups, or Houses, that have approximately the same number of seniors, juniors, sophomores and freshmen. Within each house, students are a part of mentor groups that develop relationships between students and further foster spirit and sisterhood. Additionally, the houses work together to develop faith, academic, leadership and service opportunities to compete for the Charity Cup, which is awarded to the house that receives the most points throughout the year.

Service Whether it is far away or as close as here in Price Hill, Seton students understand the impact they can make by living a life of service. Students and alumnae are known for their willingness to give back to their communities. There is an emphasis that everyone should live as Christ did – serving and caring for others with various needs throughout this world. Students develop empathy and understanding through several service opportunities spent in many places, including parishes, non-profit organizations and on mission trips.

Shine at Seton Through their four years at Seton, students find that the supportive culture from administration, teachers and staff empowers them to be critical thinkers and leaders. There is a genuine sense of sisterhood and pride. Students discover their strengths, use and develop their unique gifts and talents and shine at Seton!

Seton High School is located at 3901 Glenway Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45205. For more information, contact Sarah Cranley Lykins ’02, Seton High School Director of Institutional Advancement, 513.471.2600 ext. 2422, or visit www.setoncincinnati.org.

Mercy welcomes students from over 60 Tri-State zip codes and is fortunate to have a riverside campus that includes a swimming pool, farm, and natural play area. This year additional outdoor classrooms were added so students can enjoy fresh air during their lessons.

Mercy’s unique Farmessori program includes an onsite garden, chicken coop, and beehives. Farmessori instruction is provided from pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade. Students engage in planting, harvesting, caring for the chickens and bees, and learning about environmental sustainability. Mercy’s Farmessori curriculum culminates in the Junior High, where the program’s “microeconomy” provides practical, hands-on experiences in managing a successful student-run business. These businesses showcase Farmessori goods and include a farmstand, herbal tea, honey, and smoothies. Students oversee all aspects of this work including product development, marketing, sales, accounting, and financial contributions to local nonprofits. This year Mercy’s junior high has added additional products and developed web ordering to meet the safety demands of COVID-19.

The Farmessori is just one way that Mercy strives to “educate the whole child”. Learn more about Mercy Montessori at our virtual meet-ups in April and May. Registration is available at mercymontessori.org.

Teaching in the times of COVID-19 – New challenges and opportunities at Roger Bacon This year has been an adventure—students and teachers have had to be flexible and patient with new frustrations in the wake of COVID-19.

However, working through challenges, troubleshooting tech problems, and—most importantly—facing it all together, presents rich opportunities for students to prepare for an everchanging world.

Inside the classrooms at Roger Bacon, students and teachers are doing many familiar activities in new ways. One or two students may be plugged into iPads, linking remote students with the physical classroom. In another class, everyone might be “Zooming” with a teacher at home. Students work in Zoom breakout rooms, analyzing short stories and solving math problems, instead of clustered around a poster board. We are all learning to rethink how we communicate and learn.

All this adapting can be exhausting at times, but the fact that it allows us to keep our students inperson at school is gratifying. Seeing students in our classrooms and walking through our halls on a daily basis reminds us all—this hard work is worth it.

We look forward to the day when we do not have to speak through masks. It will feel great to no longer troubleshoot audio issues with Zoom, or watch students sit separated by Plexiglas at lunch. However, if we spend our days wanting to quickly get through this time so everything can “just get back to normal,” we would miss a tremendous opportunity to be grateful for the gift of this time, the blessing of walking this journey—or riding this roller coaster—with our students.

Saint Ursula Academy Educating Young Women with Faith, Integrity, and Courage Saint Ursula Academy in East Walnut Hills has set an exceptional standard for excellence in Catholic education since 1910. The result of the whole-person approach is a foundation of academic excellence, confidence, creative thinking, faith, and compassion for self and others that spans a lifetime. The welcoming school community works together to empower young women to develop academically, spiritually, and socially with faith, integrity, and courage.

“The high school years are four of the most critical in terms of growth, learning, and making choices that impact the future,” said Saint Ursula Academy principal Dr. Mari Thomas. “We believe working with students on their spiritual and social-emotional skills in addition to their academic and problem-solving skills helps prepare them for anything life throws their way after they graduate from Saint Ursula.”

A key advantage is the single-sex environment, where every leadership position in the school is held by a girl. Whatever the role, it helps each young woman become more experienced and comfortable in the role of leadership, and confident she belongs there.

“Every student leaves a better version of herself than when she came in,” shared Dr. Thomas.

Saint Ursula graduates are critical thinkers, confident leaders, nurturers of themselves and others, and prophets who inspire others to make a difference through their choices, words, and actions. Each student learns to be a confident women; someone who is a difference maker.

Expansion Continued from Page 2A

tolled. This reality leads many to joke that the easiest way to solve the congestion problem on the Brent Spence would be to skip the construction and toll the bridge. Enough vehicles will seek alternative routes to get traffi c volume on the bridge under its design capacity.

Firsthand experience: The truck accident and resulting fi reball that shut down the Brent Spence for about six weeks late in 2020 taught Covington fi rsthand the large cost of diversion. The heavy volume of traffi c seeking alternate routes gridlocked Covington’s streets and damaged Covington’s business environment, especially in the MainStrasse Village neighborhood and business district. The quality of life in the residential neighborhoods took a hit when cars and trucks followed their mapping apps onto tight neighborhood streets. One trucker found himself at Greenup Street and Riverside Drive, where he knocked over a fi re hydrant and knocked a utility pole onto an occupied car when he tried to drive through a closed-off street.

Icon jeopardized: Covington was forced to shut down the Suspension Bridge during the Brent Spence closure because the truck and vehicle load far exceeded the capacity of this famed engineering marvel, and because so many heavy trucks ignored the weight limit designed to protect it. Diversion would more than double traffi c on the Suspension Bridge. Could it handle all the new traffi c without a major investment in upgrades?

Wear and tear: Likewise, the diversion caused gridlock on the alternative routes of I-275 and I-471 and the local streets that lead to their approaches – even with fewer cars on the road because of the pandemic. This region and its local governments have no money to make the massive improvements to existing infrastructure that would enable it to handle all this traffi c. The cost of upgrading the existing Suspension Bridge infrastructure alone will costs millions and millions of dollars. When examining the cost of the current Brent Spence expansion plan, all of these costs need to be factored in.

Equity: The tolling plan proposed for those crossing the river has a funda-

mental equity issue. Northern Kentuckians using I-75 to access downtown Cincinnati will pay the toll. But Ohioans using the most expensive part of the project (from north of the Western Hills viaduct to the river) will pay no toll.

Consequently, 60% of the tolls paid by those crossing the river will pay for the $1 billion-plus improvement to I-75 in Cincinnati. This is hardly fair and equitable. If tolls are going to be part of this project, there should be no free riders.

There should be no transferring of the cost of Ohio improvements to Kentucky residents.

Toll overfl ow: Another approach being raised again is to toll all the bridges between Kentucky and Cincinnati to reduce diversion. This is unfathomable.

Should Clermont County residents pay two tolls each way to travel to downtown Cincinnati? Should Covington businesses who serve Cincinnati pay two tolls for each trip across the river to service Cincinnati? The interference with interstate commerce is beyond our ability to describe, and it is completely unacceptable. The economic vitality of Covington will be eviscerated if there are tolls on all the bridges.

Construction impact: In the last fi ve years, Covington’s businesses have suf-

fered through the impact of three projects on the Brent Spence: the 2017 resurfacing, the 2020 fi reball reconstruction, and the 2021 repainting now underway. Each project has lasted a few months. During the construction of $2.6 billion solution, the 4th and 5th Street interchanges would be closed for up to 31⁄ 2 years, during which traffi c trying to avoid construction would fl ood Dixie Highway, ML King Jr. Boulevard/12th Street, Pike Street and Main Street.

Business survival: Thus nearby businesses would lose both ways – no easy access, too much through traffi c.

Will the hotels, companies like the Radisson, the Lexus dealership, Corken Steel, Cincinnati Closet, all the fast-food restaurants and the MainStrasse businesses survive when the primary access is closed and the secondary access routes are gridlocked? There is not enough compensation that could save these business operators.

These are legitimate and substantial concerns, and Covington has been raising them for the past fi ve years. Yet the offi cial plan remains unchanged. The only actionable improvement identifi ed in the last eight years is the "Texas Turnaround" project that makes adjustments to the 4th Street on ramp to re-

duce northbound congestion and improve safety. The proposal has been approved by the Federal Highway Administration and is projected to solve the northbound bridge constraint in the interim. It is expected to start as soon as the bridge is painted.

We support the Texas Turnaround, and we believe that transportation offi cials on both the state and federal levels should exhaust all such possible interim solutions as we reevaluate the longterm improvements.

Times and circumstances have changed in the 20 years since the current plan was initiated. We ask highway planners to revisit their assumptions based on current circumstances and data and re-plan the project accordingly.

Address these objections. Be transparent about the fi nancing mechanisms required.

And then come to the table with a plan that’s good for us all, so together we can advocate for an improved transportation network for Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati.

Women Lead Medicine students went inside the operating room at Mercy Hospital West, where they learned about careers in anesthesiology.

Mercy McAuley High School’s Women Lead Honors Program, a unique experiential learning program, exposes young women to careers in medicine, engineering, law, technology and business. Through a specific curriculum, monthly seminars, discussions, hands-on activities, job shadows, field trips and volunteer opportunities, the program offers students hands-on opportunities for career exploration and academic achievement.

During the freshman year, students in the program learn about all five of the focus areas. At the end of freshman year, students are given the option to select from one or more of the focus areas and continue in that area for their remaining three years.

Many of the experiences take place off campus, where they learn directly from experts in the fields, many of whom are alumnae. While several experiences this past year have been virtual due to the pandemic, the school looks forward to returning to offsite activities soon.

“The Women Lead Honors Program has helped me select nursing as the field I want to go into,” said Sydney Etris, a senior at Mercy McAuley. “My favorite experience was when we visited Jewish Hospital, where we learned about some of the equipment that nurses use, and we even practiced putting an IV on a mannequin.”

Students in the Women Lead Honors Program are awarded a “leg up” with competitive colleges and universities and graduate with significant advantages in becoming leaders within these careers.

Your new go-to soy sauce is made right here in Greater Cincy Keith Pandolfi Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

CE-GCI0596110-08

Inside the Incubator Kitchen Collective in Newport, Sam Pellerito opens a blue, plastic barrel of fermenting soybeans and begins to stir them with a large steel paddle. The non-GMO soybeans inside are all sourced from central Ohio and trucked, by Pellerito himself, to Newport, where they are boiled for four hours, combined with toasted and cracked wheat from Carriage House Farm in North Bend, and inoculated with koji – sometimes referred to as Japan’s national mold – that’s grown on fully cooked grains, in this case, rice. The mixture is then incubated for 36 hours in 90-degree temperatures and 85% humidity then placed in the barrels, mixed with a Pacifi c Sea saltwater brine and aged for four to six months.

That’s not the way most soy sauces are made these days, Pellerito tells me.

Instead, the process is often sped up by adding hydrochloric acid that quickly breaks down the beans. That acid is then stripped from the beans with citric acid, which leaves you, as Pellerito says, with “soy sauce-fl avored liquid.” Other brands might be brewed in a similar manner as Pellerito’s, but few have the purity, since they use preservatives and other natural (and unnatural) fl avors blended in to enhance their appearance and taste.

As he stirs, large planks of cedar, which give the sauce added fl avor, come to the surface like fi sh bobbing in and out of the ocean. Pellerito lifts his paddle and pours some of the mixture on my fi nger so I can give it a try. It tastes funky, and salty and nutty and, well, addictive. My fi rst instinct is to track down a ladle and start slurping it like stew.

Something my doctor would surely frown upon.

The soybeans I’m tasting have fermented for two months, meaning that,

four months from now, they will be pressed, pasteurized, skimmed of impurities and poured into a small glass bottle with a label that reads “CinSoy Small Batch Soy Sauce.”

That’s right, Greater Cincinnati: We are now home to our own soy sauce company. And it’s a really good one, too.

By taking it slow and relying on traditional methods, Pellerito’s sauce has a rich umami fl avor that settles on your tongue longer than those grocery store brands. It also has a semi-sweet, almost caramel-like fl avor that makes you wonder why you’ve never paid attention to the taste of your go-to soy sauce before.

When I ask Pellerito how his sauce stacks up against, say, Kikkoman, he is humble, but honest. “Kikkoman is an amazing product,” he said. “They’ve been making it for 400 years and we are envious. But, from a taste standpoint, this is a diff erent world.”

Pellerito, 38, is originally from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and spent his younger years (from 14 to 27) working at restaurants. In 2003, he graduated with a degree in culinary arts from Johnson & Wales University, in Providence, Rhode Island, and later cooked with some of the word’s best chefs in places like Australia and, later, Wales, where he was the only American ever to win a gold medal at the Welsh International Culinary Championship. His entry was a pork roulade with saff ron risotto in orange butter sauce. “It was about as 1990s as you can get,” he said. “But they loved it.”

Eventually, Pellerito left the food world, going back to school for a degree in global business and public policy from the University of Maryland, which he was awarded in 2012. It’s that second degree that, up until recently, he got the most mileage from, working in the eyewear industry at companies such as Frameri and Lens.com.

But Pellerito’s interest in cooking never waned. He cooked constantly and spent hours in his home kitchen making

fermented foods at home. Ultimately, the intense interest he developed in soy sauce and other Asian foods during his frequent business trips to cities such as Japan and Hong Kong led him back into the food world. “In France, every corner has a baker, but in Hong Kong, every corner has a soy sauce maker. ... I decided to try researching it – to start digging in.”

And Ohio seemed like a perfect place to do it. That’s because, Pellerito says,

#"!$ Proud to be Safely Serving the Crestview Hills Community For Your General and Cosmetic Skin Care Needs

the state is known throughout the world for the high quality of its food-grade soybeans. Something he learned after asking soy sauce makers throughout Asia where they sourced their soybeans. “They would usually just say they got them from America,” he said.

But when Pellerito took a peek at the bags, they all read “Ohio.”

“Ohio has the perfect soil for growing soybeans,” Pellerito told me, adding that the weather, as weird and unpredictable as it might seem, is also a factor in creating the most edible, consistent and protein-rich soybeans in the world.

His fi rst attempts at making soy sauce at home didn’t go so well. During the incubation process, the mixture of soy beans, wheat and koji can heat up to around 130 degrees, leaving his kitchen sweltering. And the fi rst batches he made were sour, or bitter or downright inedible. But after spending time researching the process and discussing it with other soy sauce makers, he fi nally got it right. But he wasn’t sure if he wanted to make it a full-time gig.

Northern Kentucky woman seeking lost locket with father’s ashes Briana Rice Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A Northern Kentucky woman is searching for a lost necklace containing some of the ashes of her late father.

Andi Coe said she was delivering packages for Amazon on March 22 when she noticed the chain on her necklace had broken and a pendent containing her Dad’s ashes had fallen off .

By the time Coe had noticed, she had made at least seven deliveries in the

Taylor Mill area. She visited as many of them as she could before she said her managers started calling, insisting that she get back to work.

“Unfortunately my boss and I had a disagreement about the time I had spent looking and I ended up having to leave my job with Amazon,” Coe said.

Her father, Kelly Scott Coe, died in 2014. Andi wore the locket daily, every single time she left the house. “It just makes me feel safe,” she said.

The necklace is a silver teardrop pendant. It has scratches and tell-tale signs

of years of daily wear.

“This necklace is everything. When I lost my dad, I lost everything,” Coe said.

The 24-year-old Edgewood, Kentucky resident has spent the past few days searching for the necklace and now she’s asking for the public’s help.

“It would mean the world to me get his ashes back,” Coe said. “I can’t off er any money but it would mean everything to me.”

If you see the necklace, you can reach out to Coe at 859-620-2212 or 859-6521573.

CinSoy

nati-themed goetta burger. (It’s also a perfect addition to your charcuterie board, btw.)

Together, Pellerito and Holmes, now CinSoy’s chief product offi cer, are making not just soy sauce, but rich and nutty tofu that might be the best version you’ve ever had, koji mustard, hot sauces, black garlic sauces, a perfectly funky and pungent miso paste made with soybeans and koji spores imported from Japan (I’m literally eating that last one with a spoon as I write this), and even a soy salt that can be used in place of regular sea salt.

CinSoy is also selling “make-yourown” miso soup kits, as well as a kit that lets you make the miso paste itself at home. They are currently working on a gluten-free tamari sauce (similar to soy sauce) made with buckwheat or millet instead of wheat.

When I visited the company’s Newport facility the other day, it was obviously outgrowing the space. Those blue barrels were piled up on top of industrial refrigerators, and sheet pan racks were everywhere.

And so, like other beloved local companies as Brown Bear Bakery in Overthe-Rhine and the Pickled Pig in Walnut Hills – which also got its start at the Kitchen Collective – Pellerito and Holmes will relocate to a larger spot in Over-the-Rhine next month, making CinSoy a true Cincinnati soy sauce company.

Continued from Page 9A

“I don’t think I had a master plan at the time,” he said. “I just thought it was a really tasty product.” Still, he wanted people to try it. And so he started hawking it on Facebook, where the response was strong to say the least. So strong that, last fall, he decided to maybe, just maybe, turn it into a business. Last fall, that’s exactly what he did. And last January, he quit his day job to start making soy sauce full time.

“I started it during a pandemic, which was wild,” he said. “But it might have also been good, because the Cincinnati community really rallied around it. Pellerito found a champion for his products at Madison’s, at Findlay Market.

“It was the fi rst market to carry it and, from the beginning, was immensely supportive and helped spread word,” he said. Pellerito also started selling it at farmers markets, as well as ETC Produce, which is also located at Findlay.

He made about 50 gallons of the stuff to get him through the end of 2020, but it sold out in three weeks, so he made more. CinSoy is also becoming a local hero among restaurants such as Kiki in College Hill, and Fausto, Downtown, which are using its soy sauce, tofu and other products.

CinSoy Foods Chief Product Officer Kendall Holmes stirs up some soybeans.

KEITH PANDOLFI/THE ENQUIRER

A year ago, when Pellerito told a friend who works for Fifty West Brewing Company that he was thinking of making soy sauce, the friend told him about another guy named Kendall Holmes who was thinking of doing the same thing.

Deciding he needed more help than

competition, Pellerito met Holmes for coff ee and they decided to join forces.

Holmes was already making his mark on the local culinary scene with an upstart fermented foods company called Cloud Food Labs, which made a deep, funky and delicious koji mustard that 50 West was using on a special Cincin-

Asparagus tart: ‘A stunner that belies how easy it is to make’ Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

Yesterday was fun, a productive day.

Son Jason brought two of his boys over to help with spring chores. The guys got the chimney and gutters cleaned, and paver brick walls reset. Me? Well, I got the tiller going and tilled the big garden.

So satisfying!

The asparagus bed needed a bit of tilling and dressing, too. It won’t be long before asparagus pops up. I can imagine how those pretty, green stalks are eager to burst through soil, blessing us with an abundance of this super healthy vegetable.

With Easter just a few days away, and spring having just sprung, my thought is that it’s a good day to share, you guessed it, asparagus recipes.

Sensational sides for an Easter or spring meal. Try these recipes, then let me know what you think.

Asparagus tart A stunner that belies how easy it is to make.

Ingredients 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed if frozen (see tip) 8 oz. Gruyere, Emmentaler, Swiss or Fontina cheese, shredded 1 nice bunch asparagus, tough ends trimmed (keep for soup) Olive oil Seasoned salt and pepper or salt and pepper Romano or Parmesan cheese, shredded, for garnish Instructions Preheat oven to 400.

Sprinkle a bit of fl our on counter, then unroll pastry. Sprinkle a bit of fl our on top – not too much.

Roll into 16x10 rectangle.

Place on parchment lined baking pan.

Asparagus tart. PHOTOS BY RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE ENQUIRER

Lightly score pastry with sharp knife 1” in from edges. This marks the rectangle and will allow edges to puff up.

Poke center with fork all over to prevent big air bubbles.

Bake just until golden, about 12-15 minutes.

Fill evenly with cheese.

Trim asparagus to fi t crosswise into shell in single layer.

Alternate ends and tips. That way everybody gets both.

Drizzle with oil.

Sprinkle with seasoning.

Bake until asparagus is tender but not mushy and pastry is nice golden brown, 12 to 20 minutes.

Garnish with Romano, cut into squares.

Adapted from Elizabeth K., a Mason reader’s recipe.

Tip: Use gentle hand with puff pastry Thaw frozen pastry, wrapped, in refrigerator overnight, or counter, wrapped, about 30 minutes.

Careful when unrolling. Pastry tends to stick to itself.

Simple roasted asparagus with lemon pepper and herbs Family favorite!

Ingredients Asparagus, tough ends trimmed (keep for soup)

Olive oil Lemon pepper Herbs of choice Cheese of choice (opt) Instructions Preheat oven to 425.

Lay asparagus on sprayed baking sheet in single layer.

Brush with oil.

Sprinkle with lemon pepper Bake until crisp tender and bright green. Time depends upon thickness but check after 7 minutes or so.

Sprinkle with herbs and cheese and serve.

Not a fan of roasting? Blanch it!

Cook asparagus in salted boiling water just until bright green and crisp tender. Check from 2 minutes on depending upon thickness.

Immediately plunge spears into ice water to stop cooking, drain well and dress with seasonings.

Dublin coddle a hit!

So many fun comments, including editor Stephen Wilder’s. He used Polish sausage and left potatoes unpeeled. “ We were in a hurry. How necessary is that in most cases?” It depends on thickness of the skin and recipe itself. Usually thin skinned potatoes like red, Yukon, etc. are OK left unpeeled.

Asparagus blanched on left – unblanched on right.

SCHOOL NEWS Villa students participate in Model U.N. Villa Madonna Academy eighthgrader Quinn Holtzman was elected United Nations Secretary General at the Middle School Kentucky United Nations Assembly.

More than 300 students from twenty-eight schools around the commonwealth participated in the two-day Kentucky YMCA youth and government conference. They debated issues facing countries from around the globe.

Quinn’s campaign focused on clean oceans, sustainable cities, and gender equality. She will work with KYYMCA staff to plan next year’s conference.

Also at the event, sixth graders Maddie Carroll, Adi Grabowski, and Ksenia Miller earned high praise. The students represented Singapore and wrote a resolution to help combat rising sea levels by restricting Green Climate Fund spending to clean energy projects only.

The GCF is currently allowed to donate funds to fossil fuel-related projects. Maddie, Adi, and Ksenia’s resolution was selected as the Secretary General’s Choice Resolution. The girls got to present it and defend it in front of the entire conference. Ultimately, their resolution was passed by the student United Nations.

SPORTS CovCath, Scott fall teams hire new head coaches James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Covington Catholic High School has hired Jeremy Mosher as the head coach for the CovCath cross country program.

Mosher was a member of the cross country coaching staff at Cincinnati St. Xavier (his alma mater) for the past 12 years, during which time the team won three DiviMosher sion I state championships. St. X was also state runner-up twice, and had three top-15 fi nishes in the national rankings, including as high as sixth St. X also produced, in separate seasons, an individual state champion, state runner-up and Nike Cross Regional Titleist.

In 2019, Mosher began managing the distance program for the St. Xavier track team, a year in which four runners

qualifi ed to the state meet individually, and the 4x800 relay team placed second with the tenth-fastest time in the U.S. (7:43.05). Recently, an individual distance runner from the team won the 3,200 meters at the a major indoor state meet with the third-fastest time in the U.S. in 2021, and, with another team member, set the two fastest cross country performances in school history.

Mosher shared this perspective on the new role: "I've been so fortunate to work alongside dozens of incredible coaches and educators at St. Xavier, and to learn this trade from accomplished head coaches such as Larry Merkel, Mike Dehring and Andy Wietmarschen.

Beyond competitive success, they created an environment that student-athletes wanted to be part of, knowing they would be challenged while also being cared for and supported. This sport develops a special brotherhood. Building those bonds within a Catholic, all-boys school has been one of the best experi-

ences in my life, fi rst as an athlete and now as a coach. I can't wait to continue delivering on that tradition at Covington Catholic."

As a runner, Mosher competed on the St. Xavier cross country team that won the state title and ranked 13th in the country in 2000.

He competed at Fordham University for four years and has coached studentathletes who advanced their competitive careers at colleges including Notre Dame, Virginia, Duke, Florida State, Ohio State, Marquette, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Xavier, Dayton, Toledo, and NYU in NCAA competition, as well as on club teams at numerous universities.

“As a coach, I’m especially proud of the success achieved by student-athletes who had little prior experience with the sport of running. It is joyful to help young people discover and cultivate abilities they did not know they possessed. I love that running can be a lifelong sport, and I believe one of the

best metrics for success for a high school program is producing studentathletes who want to keep running even after their high school experience has fi nished.”

Scott High School has hired Kyle Kosco as its new head boys soccer coach.

Kosco, 26, has been a coach at various levels since 2015, including being the assistant director with Kings Hammer and a volunteer assistant at Kosco the University of Cincinnati. In 2019, he was a varsity assistant and goalkeeper coach at Covinton Catholic.

He attended high school in Akron, Ohio, where his school won four state championships.

Kosco takes over a program that lost the state championship game in 2014 but has only 23 wins since, including two winless campaigns.

Local bowlers sweep girls state championships James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer

With the top class of 2021 high school football players either already signed in December or February, it's time to take a look at the class of 2022 prospects many colleges are mulling over.

Here are 22 of the top 2022 prospects who could be signing on the next Early Signing Day in December.

These rankings are not from the personal preferences of Enquirer staff ers.

It's merely a compilation based on various recruiting services such as 247Sports, Rivals and others. As we have found in past years, rankings do change and they're heavily infl uenced by the number of Division I off ers.

It's a mathematical rating that has no bearing on what a player's upcoming fall season might bring. The ratings will be updated periodically when changes occur.

Top 22 Class of '22

March 23 was a day of championships for Northern Kentucky bowlers in the Kentucky High School Athletic Association girls bowling tournaments.

Cooper won the state team championship, the fi rst team championship in the 13-year history of the school. It is also the second in a row by a Northern Kentucky team after Campbell County won last year.

Highlands senior Abby Bach won the singles title, the fi rst in Highlands girls bowling history and the second by a local bowler in the girls tourney.

The Camels and the Jaguars, both champions of diff erent regions earlier this month, were two of the top three seeds in qualifying. Cooper dispatched rival Boone County in a rematch of the Region 5 fi nal, then swept Central Hardin before fi nding themselves in high drama.

Cooper ousted the Camels 3-2 in the semis in a rematch of last year’s state fi nal. The Jaguars took a 2-0 lead it the best-of-fi ve Baker match, in which fi ve teammates alternate frames in each game. Campbell won the next two, forcing a deciding fi fth game, which Cooper won 203-169.

The Jaguars went the opposite route in the fi nals, falling behind 2-0 to Pleasure Ridge Park before winning the next three games. Cooper averaged 193 in the wins, including a 201-157 win in the fi nal match to win the title.

Bach stormed through the stepladder bracket, shooting 265 and 239 to defeat local rivals Kaylee Hitt of Campbell County and Ranelle Ulanday of Cooper.

The three Northern Kentuckians were the top three seeds in the stepladder bracket after scoring within nine pins of each other in fi ve games of qualifying.

22. Chase Brown, defensive end, Moeller - At 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds, Brown had 12 tackles and 2.5 sacks for the Crusaders. Brown is considered a "sleeper" by some with Akron being among the early schools showing interest.

21. Grant Lyons, linebacker, St. Xavier - The 6-foot-3, 230-pound outside linebacker has off ers from Air Force, Army and Ball State. He had 54 tackles and led the GCL-South in sacks with six.

20. Paul Haywood, off ensive line, La Salle - The 6-foot-4, 315-pound guard has off ers from Akron and Dartmouth.

19. Ken Willis, cornerback, Colerain - Willis is a 5-foot-11, 160-pound defensive back for the Cardinals. He had 31 tackles this past season and 20 as a sophomore. He's been off ered by Miami University, Eastern Kentucky, Toledo and Akron.

Skyline Chili Reds Futures High School Showcase returns Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

ROSELAWN - After an unplanned hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Skyline Chili Reds Futures High School Showcase presented by Cincinnati Children’s Sports Medicine & Orthopaedics is back. The series of games will feature 91 baseball and high school teams from 81 schools from the Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, Southeast Indiana and Dayton area.

From April 10 to May 15, 49 games are on tap with tickets costing $5.

“We have a couple single games, but most are doubleheaders and some are six to nine games,” In-Game Sports organizer Tom Gamble said. “You get the admission ticket good for all the games that day and you get a coupon good for a free Skyline Chili cheese coney at participating Skyline Chili restaurants.”

The opening weekend at the Reds Youth Academy is April 10-11 featuring six baseball and three softball games.

Lakota East and Loveland begin the baseball portion at noon April 10, with Anderson and Harrison starting softball April 11 at 1 p.m.

April 17 is Jackie Robinson Day at the academy and April 18 is the inaugural Gabby Rodriguez Day in memory of the former Western Hills softball player who passed in 2018. Among the games, Western Hills will battle Woodward at 1 p.m. April 18 and Turpin softball will face Walnut Hills at 5 p.m.

“This will be our fi rst time playing in this so I’m really excited to bring the girls here, especially since it’s such a special weekend with the Jackie Robinson weekend,” Turpin coach Jess Hartley said.

The Reds 150th Anniversary Legacy Project fi elds will also be featured Roger Bacon and St. Bernard-Elmwood Place battle at Frank Robinson Field at Ross Park and on May 7 when Bellevue has a baseball/softball doubleheader at St. Elizabeth Healthcare Field.

La Salle coached by Roosevelt Barnes will be part of the Showcase May 8 when they play Oak Hills. His son was part of the Reds Urban Youth Academy and the Lancers feature a top prospect in junior Devin Taylor who hit .442 with three homers and 30 RBI as a freshman in the GCL-South.

“I’m really excited about getting back out with the kids, it’s all about the kids,” Barnes said. “Devin’s going to be a special talent. He hit a real long ball in a scrimmage yesterday. He works hard and I think the future’s bright for him.”

The Skyline Chili Reds Futures Showcase has featured future college and pro players as Monday many recalled a mammoth home run once hit

by Madeira’s Andrew Benintendi before he went on to Arkansas, a World Series with the Red Sox and now the Kansas City Royals.

A memory for every high school player is the “Big League Weekend” at Great American Ball Park where 10 teams will be featured May 14-15. That culminates with Covington Catholic playing Moeller at 5 p.m. May 15.

May 23 will feature the Most Valuable Players from each Showcase game receiving their commemorative bats compliments of MSA Sport in a pregame ceremony prior to the Reds taking on the Milwaukee Brewers. Due to current COVID-19 restrictions from MLB, the parade around the big fi eld won’t take place, but separate ceremonies will be held around Great American Ballpark.

“Some ceremonies will take place in section 119 by the gap,” Reds Community Fund Director Charley Frank said.

“Others will take place on our Fan Zone Field. They (teams) will be at the game and they will be celebrated and it will be broadcast on the Jumbotron.”

Frank and the Reds hope by 2022 the teams will be permitted to march around the fi eld again.

COMMUNITY NEWS Even a child is known by her deeds Hebrews 10:24 encourages us to “Spur one another on toward love and good deeds.” Talking with Emma does exactly that. Emma, her older brother and younger sister, with help from their mom, make a little spending money from running a Boone County Recorder paper route in a few neighborhoods.

Most 12 year olds would happily take their cut of the money and either go on a spending spree each month or squirrel it all away for a big item they’ve been longing for. Emma’s parents, however, encourage tithing to worthy organizations from each “paycheck” and Emma decided she wanted her tithe to go Care Net Pregnancy Services.

When asked why, Emma said “I like children and babies. My mom used to be on the Care Net board of directors so I got to see what Care Net did to help the community. They helped the women who are pregnant see diff erent options.

I believe many who can’t take care of their babies ought to choose adoption.”

Emma also said she had helped Care Net Pregnancy Services of Northern Kentucky in other ways. She participated in their Walk for Life, has been to their annual banquet, attended the Right to Life Cross the Bridge event, stuff ed envelopes for fundraising, cleaned their buildings, and helped with landscaping. She and her classmates at Classical Conversations even helped raise money through Boone County’s “Trash to Cash” road cleanup program.

They picked up trash from 10 miles of road and were able to donate $1,000 to Care Net Pregnancy Services of Northern Kentucky.

As compassionate and giving as Emma is, she is also a 12-year-old girl. She speaks up but has a soft voice and a sweet but shy smile. She enjoys many things a girl of her age would- drawing, painting, soccer, hiking, board games with the family, having fun with friends at American Heritage Girls club and playing the piano. She loves reading stories from Anne of Green Gables, the Elsie Dinsmore series, Nancy Drew Mysteries. She’s not the person who would come to mind when you hear the words “donor” or “volunteer.”

So many people think you must have lots of extra money to donate to causes you think important. “When I become

All proceeds from cookies sales are truly girl-focused, with 19% going toward camp programs and properties, 19% toward troop proceeds and rewards, and 33% toward membership, volunteer development and program support. The vital programming that is funded through Kentucky Girl Scout Cookie season leaves a lifelong impact on Kentucky’s future leaders.

rich, I’m gonna to give money to ...” is heard way too frequently. But Emma has a diff erent philosophy, “If you like something and you think it should keep going, it’s always a good idea to help keep it going yourself. Give what you can. If you tithe to a good cause then I believe God will give you back more than what you gave in the fi rst place.”

Wouldn’t the world be a better place if more people followed “Emma’s philosophy”?

Joy Tarleton, Care Net Pregnancy Services of Northern Kentucky

Kentucky Girl Scouts calling on community to buy 32,000 boxes of cookies by April 11 ERLANGER, KY – Girl Scouts of Kentucky’s Wilderness Road (GSKWR) has extended the cookie program until Saturday, April 11, 2021, as it relies heavily on cookie sales to provide programming and experiences to its girl members throughout the year.

In addition to COVID-19 constraints, severe weather in March, such as the fl ooding in Eastern and Central Kentucky, ice storms in Lexington, and heavy snowfall, created barriers for the Kentucky Girl Scouts to overcome during the traditional cookie selling season which was originally set to end on March 28.

GSKWR’s goal is to sell the remaining

31,848 boxes before the April 11 deadline.

“Due to unsafe weather conditions and the restrictions in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19, our girls weren’t able to do traditional door-to-door and booth cookies sales at the level they typically would”, said Carolyn McNerney, Product Sales Director, GSKWR. “Walmart has been such a tremendous retail partner for us this year, allowing girls to sell cookies at locations throughout Kentucky”, she continued. Walmart has also extended their partnership with Kentucky Girl Scouts through April 11, to help them meet their cookie sales goals.

Ways to Buy Girl Scout Cookies In Kentucky through April 11 Through April 11, 2021, cookies can be ordered through the Girl Scout Cookie Finder for direct shipment with 50% off shipping fees (for orders of 6 or more boxes). This contact-free method supports local girls while keeping their safety and skill building top-of-mind.

Cookies can be purchased for the next three weekends from Kentucky Girl Scouts at participating Walmart stores throughout Kentucky and at both Florence Mall and Ashland Mall.

GSKWR encourages individuals and families to buy cookies to give to others and to buy cookies in bulk as a way to thank teachers, healthcare workers, fi rst-responders and other essential community members.

She’s a nanny to her staff COVINGTON, Ky. – Jan Gilliam cares for her staff at The Point/Arc Apparel – Embroidery and Screen Print Company as if she were their nanny.

Maybe that’s because Gilliam – a Ft. Wright native – served as a nanny most of her adult life.

“I started as a nanny for a family in Ft. Mitchell, while I was attending Notre Dame Academy,” says the now General Manager of The Point/Arc’s ApparelEmbroidery and Screen Print Company.

“I did it for fi ve years.”

In fact, she took her nanny skills abroad – to New Zealand.

“A friend was doing graduate school work in New Zealand, so I decided to follow her – and took a job as a nanny there.”

The non-profi t world entered Gilliam’s life – and it was a perfect marriage.

“I did scheduling for Mercy Neighborhood Ministries in Walnut Hills for a short-time,” said the 38-year-old Gilliam. “And for some four-and-a-half years I worked in the Development Offi ce at Notre Dame Academy.”

And as luck would have it, the Northern Kentucky University (AA) grad heard about a sales-rep position at The Point /Arc’s Apparel shop.

The rest, as they say, is history.

Today, Jan Gilliam serves as General Manager of The Point/Arc Apparel— Embroidery and Screen Print Company.

Gilliam oversees a working staff of three (I/DD) clients – mostly part-time – that operates Monday through Friday, 9-5 pm.

The shop – and staff – cleans screens (for printing), does folding, checks products and pulls them from machines once printed to place on heaters, according to their GM/Nanny, Gilliam.

Gilliam proudly lists some of The Point/Arc’s Apparel – Embroidery and Screen Print Company’s clients – Jeff Ruby Culinary, Sam Adams, River Metal Recycling, BRM and numerous schools for their spirit wear.

“We carry various brands including Nike, Eddie Bauer, Carhartt, OGIO and Sport-Tek,” she said.

The Sam Adams brewery in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine neighborhood has their employee jackets, vests, coolers, T-shirts and hoodies produced at our shop, Gilliam notes.

“And,” she adds, “they’re shipped to their employees all over the country.”

So how did a one-time nanny learn the embroidery business?

“Honestly,” she says, “I just picked up the process over time. I got my love of art from working as a wedding photographer years ago at Kamera Art in Florence, Ky.” The Point/Arc – Apparel – Embroidery and Screen Print Company is one of four vocational enterprises that provides training and employment to adults with Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities (I/DD).

The other enterprises at ThePoint/ Arc are: The Point/Arc Commercial Laundry Company, The Commercial Cleaning Company and The Point-Perk Coff ee Shop.

It’s time for spring cleaning Spring cleaning is a long-time ritual.

The American Cleaning Institute’s annual spring cleaning survey found that 69% of Americans plan to spring clean this year, a decrease from 78% in 2020, while 55% of respondents said they have been cleaning and organizing more than usual due to the coronavirus pandemic, and 37% reported feeling more knowledgeable about cleaning. “With so many people working from home during the past year, many have been ‘deep cleaning’ their homes more frequently. That can explain why less people feel the need to spring clean in 2021,” said the ACI’s Brian Sansoni.

In the past, common winter heat

sources caused soot and grime to collect in homes and on home furnishings. After winter subsided, spring was a time to open the windows and remove the dirt and sooty buildup. While many of us have cleaner heat sources for our homes today, spring cleaning is still a ritual many of us practice.

While spring cleaning your house may seem like a monumental task, it does not have to be. Here are some tips and tricks for making spring cleaning more eff ective and less daunting. h Develop a plan of attack. Think about where, when and how you are going to clean and what cleaning products you will need. You may want to dedicate an entire weekend to cleaning or you may want to space it out an hour or two at a time over several days. You may want to tackle one room at a time or one project, such as washing all your cur-

tains, at once. There is no wrong answer. It depends on your cleaning style. h Gather your supplies beforehand.

Go through your cabinets to determine the products you already have on hand and those you need to purchase. Common cleaning items you may need include an all-purpose cleaner, abrasive cleanser, non-abrasive cleanser, chlorine bleach, glass cleaner, furniture/ dusting cleaner, toilet bowl cleaner, cloths, trash bags and vacuum bags. h Declutter before cleaning. We all tend to accumulate things and having things on furniture and on the fl oor can make it harder to clean. If you have unwanted items, now is a good time to sell, recycle or donate them. h Ask for help if you need it from family members and friends. You do not have to tackle cleaning by yourself. h Take the cleaning momentum outside. While you may think of spring cleaning as an indoor activity, it is also a really good time to do some outdoor cleaning and home maintenance projects like cleaning windows and door exteriors, checking the chimney for damage, inspecting weather seals on windows and doors, and removing the lint from the dryer vent.

Ohio is home to some of the rudest drivers, according to a new ranking from Insurify.

Insurify, a platform to compare auto insurance quotes, looked at their database of car insurance applications to identify the states with the rudest drivers. The analysis also found that Kentucky has some of the nicest drivers in the country.

Insurify said it ranked states based on the number of drivers in each state with one or more rude driving violations on their record.

Ohio ranked No. 6. for rude drivers.

Garth Brooks has rescheduled his upcoming concert at Paul Brown Stadium for later this year.

The concert was previously scheduled for May 1 and has been pushed back to Sept. 18, 2021. All tickets will be honored, offi cials said.

The concert at Paul Brown Stadium was initially scheduled for May 16, 2020.

What qualifi es as rude behavior?

Insurify said these violations are indicative of rude driving: failure-toyield violations, failure-to-stop violations, improper backing, passing where prohibited, tailgating, street racing, and hit-and-runs.

“Failing to stop at a stop sign is the most common rude driving violation in Ohio, for which drivers are caught 34 percent more often than the average American driver,” Insurify said.

The states who came in last place are known as the nicest driving states.

Those states are Kentucky, Mississippi, and Maine. Kentucky has the nicest drivers out there, coming in at No. 50 for rude drivers.

Florence Aquatic Center will not open for 2021 season Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – March 23.

There will be no lazy river for Florence once again this year.

Florence City Council has announced that they will not open the Florence Aquatic Center for the 2021 pool season.

Offi cials said the city’s contractual obligations with the company that manages pool services required them to make a decision now. The aquatic center

did not open in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Recreational facilities are currently advised to limit their capacity to 60% occupancy.

"Due to the uncertainty with restrictions and the potential of a shortened pool season if cases start to spike, the City made the tough decision not to open this summer," offi cials said. "We are disappointed and I am sure many of you are as well. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to a better experience and a restriction free year in 2022."
