Ludlow budget shortfall leads to layoﬀ s More than $500,000 needed to pay bills Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

LUDLOW – City offi cials laid off half of the public works department March 26 and still don't know how all the city's bills will be paid until October. The city needs more than a half-million dollars. Ludlow has a budget shortfall of about $200,000, said interim city administrator/police chief Scott Smith. A $350,000 loan the city took out last spring comes due in July too, he said. The city doesn't have the money to pay the loan. “The option is to take out another loan or to come into some magic revenue,” Smith said. The city's public works department has two Smith workers now instead of four. Potential cuts to staff in other departments have not been ruled out, he said. A full-time clerk quit in January and that position is not being fi lled. Mayor Josh Boone said the budget shortfall was "more serious" than he realized before taking offi ce in January. "When I came in in January I was under the impression that it had been fi lled through diff erent cuts and revenue that had come in," Boone said. "And that does not seem to be the case." Finances were not why Elisha Chamberlain was fi red March 15, he said. “It was a concern, but it wasn’t a catalyst for dismissing the city administrator," Boone said. The city's police chief will continue serving as city administrator at least through July to save money, the mayor said. Smith said one problem is when the city receives its funding. Most revenues do not come into the city between April and October. Previous city spending projects and council not voting to increase taxes have contributed to the shortfall, Smith said. A new 2 percent insurance premium tax was approved by council March 21. That will bring in at least $116,000 additional revenue, he said. Of the $350,000 loaned to the city last year, $103,000 was to pay for part of the cost of building the railroad viewing platform and parking next to the city

building last summer, he said. He added that the $103,000 was "unaccounted for or mismanaged." "The $103,000, it was unaccounted for or mismanaged where it ended up being $103,000," Smith said. The city has taken out one-year loans for years to cover shortfalls from the previous years, he said. The city may have to do so again. "In past come around April or May,

they take out loans," he said. "So, they leapfrog the debt." City staﬀ cell phone allowances and other services the city pays for have been cut this year already, Smith said. There is not enough money to make it to October without taking additional action like taking out another loan, he said. "There are people who are volunteering to make sacriﬁ ces," Smith said.

Mayor Josh Boone said the budget shortfall was "more serious" than he realized before taking office in January.

Prosecutors said the Kentucky Bar Association lists Brinker as a "former member" and said he has been suspended from the practice of law since 2010. According to the arrest warrant, Joan Siemer signed a will that was prepared by Brinker in 1994.

Nearly 30 J.C. Penney stores are expected to close this year

Northern Kentucky Water customers to get rate hike in 2019 and in 2020

Sheila Vilvens Cincinnati Enquirer | USA TODAY NETWORK

Nearly 83,000 Northern Kentucky residents' water bills will increase this year and again in 2020. The Kentucky Public Service Commission approved Northern Kentucky Water District's request in a March 26 order for $6.2 million more in revenue over the next two years. The money will increase the water district's revenue by 11.6 percent to pay for replacing aging water pipes, pumps and treatment plants. The increase will be phased in over two years. The existing monthly residential customer fee will increase from $16.40 to $18.50 by 2020. The water consumption charge will increase from the existing $4.53 per 100 cubic foot fee to $4.77 per 100 cubic foot by 2020. The typical customer will see an increase of $1.92 a month each year for a total increase of $3.84 by 2020, according to the public service commission news release. The water district, which serves customers in Boone, Campbell and Kenton counties, plans to use the rate increase to pay oﬀ $19.6 million in existing loans. The district also provides water to the city of Walton and Bullock Pen and Pendleton County water districts. The $19.6 million will replace the principal owed on a short term loan issued in 2017, according to the PCS

As traditional brick-and-mortar retailers continue to struggle, another big box store announces a new round of closures. J.C. Penney Inc. is expected to close 18 department stores across the country in 2019 and nine home-and-furniture locations. In 2017 the retailer closed more than 130 department stores. The 116-year-old retailer is not disclosing publicly a list of stores to be closed, but there are no stores impacted in the Cincinnati area, according to company spokesman Carter English. There are J.C. Penney department stores throughout the region including locations at Eastgate Mall, Governor's Plaza, Stone Creek Towne Center and Florence Mall. While the area might be spared the loss of one of these stores, other familiar retailers are shuttering their Cincinnati area locations. Most recently, discount shoe store Payless ShoeSource announced the closure of all 2,100 of its stores in the U.S. This impacted about a dozen stores locally. Last fall, Sears Holdings closed 46 more Sears and Kmart department stores. Casualties included Sears stores in Florence and Colerain Township. In a January statement, J.C. Penney Inc. announced a decrease in sales for a nine-week period that ended Jan. 5. The announcement of store closures followed. This decision is the result of an ongoing review of the retailer's store portfolio, which includes assessing locations that may not meet required fi nancial targets or represent an opportunity to capitalize on a benefi cial real estate asset, English said. "It’s never easy taking actions that directly impact our valued associates and customers, however, we feel this is a necessary business decision," he said. Remaining inventory will be sold over the next several months, with the fi nal closing date expected to take place in most stores on July 5, English said. For the home and furniture stores, remaining inventory will be sold through the summer, with a fi nal closing date expected this fall.

order. The short term loan helped pay for the following projects identifi ed in 2014, according to fi lings with the PSC. ❚ Repairs were made to the Fort Thomas Treatment Plant basin including replacing and modifying fi ltration systems. ❚ The more than 80-year-old Lumley Water Tank in Fort Thomas behind the city building was replaced for about $2 million. The 275,000-gallon storage tank was removed. A 400,000-gallon tank was erected. The project cost included water main replacements in Edgewood (on fi ve streets), in Newport (seven streets) in Woodlawn (six streets) and on Burdsall Avenue in Fort Mitchell. ❚ More than two miles of water main line (ranging from two inches to four inches) was replaced with larger lines (ranging from six to eight inches) around the southern Kenton County city of Latonia Lakes. ❚ The 1872-built Ohio River pump station 2 in Campbell County was repaired at a cost of $2 million. ❚ A new Taylor Mill Water Treatment Plant for about $20 million. ❚ A 24-inch hydraulic line was built to improve water fl ows to the southern end of Kenton County along Ky. 17. Water fl ows were improved to a pump station near Richardson Road in anticipation of the need for capacity growth. Water fl ow was also improved to the industrial area around Ky. 17.

weeks later and conclude within a two-month period, the cabinet said. “We only get to launch once and have adjusted the preliminary pilot dates to stay true to our commitment to deliver a system to the Circuit Court Clerks and the public that will make the transition as smooth as possible,” Matt Henderson, Department of Vehicle Regulation commissioner, said in the release. “Extending the testing phase allows the project team and card vendor needed time to vet and update the new system used to handle front- and back-end operations associated with how we issue and produce the new cards.” Specifi c dates for the remaining county-bycounty rollout schedule will be announced in early April, the cabinet said. The state is piloting the ID system in two counties and will do live monitoring of the process and then apply best practices and lessons learned from the experience when the system rolls out statewide. The state is working to upgrade driver’s licenses, permits and personal IDs to comply with the Real ID Act, a post-9/11 security measure that set standards for identifi cation cards. The voluntary travel ID requires more documentation, such as a birth certifi cate and a Social Security card. The delayed rollout will not impact benefi ts Kentuckians can access using their current driver’s license, thanks to a federal extension from the Department of Homeland Security that allows airport security checkpoints and military bases to accept existing card versions for U.S. air travel and entry, the Kentucky transportation cabinet said.

Covington Catholic coach and teacher Jack Kaelin dies Legendary ﬁ gure retired in 2013 after 50 years James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

PARK HILLS – Covington Catholic is mourning the loss of one of its most legendary fi gures. Jack Kaelin died March 30 at age 77. He was a teacher there for more than 50 years before retiring in 2013. He was most visible as the head scorekeeper for the boys basketball team during that span, but was also a coach in multiple sports and an athletic director. Kaelin's visitation will be on Wednesday, April 3 from 4-8 p.m. in the Covington Catholic gym. Additional visitation will be at St. Pius X Church in Edgewood on Thurs, April 4 from 11 a.m. until the words of remembrance at 11:45 a.m, with Burial Mass to follow. Kaelin's obituary has been posted. The Enquirer profi led Kaelin upon his retirement in 2013. "He has been an educator, coach, athletic director, alumni director, mentor and friend," said current CovCath principal Bob Rowe in that article. "Many people have been positively infl uenced by him throughout the years. The greatest compliment that I can give Mr. Kaelin is that everyone in our community is a better person because of knowing him." Rowe echoed those statements Monday, two days after Kaelin’s passing. “Jack Kaelin was an icon who left his imprint all over Covington Catholic High School,” Rowe said. “His legacy will be felt for years to come. His 50 years of service to Covington Catholic is unprecedented and is truly a testament to his belief in Catholic Education.” After graduating from Newport Catholic High School and then Villa Madonna College (now Thomas More Uni-

versity), Kaelin taught German the second semester of the 1963 school year at Newport Catholic. But with that language being phased out of the curriculum after that year, he applied to teach it at Covington Catholic, Roger Bacon and Princeton. Kaelin said then he chose CovCath to save money on gas. "It might have been the greatest decision I ever made in my life," Kaelin said in that same 2013 article. "I was welcomed into Covington Catholic as part of a big family. No one really realizes how much of a family CCH is until you get involved in the school. People that I taught 50 years ago are just as close to me now as they were all those years ago. The teachers I have taught with are like an extension of my real family." Dick Maile, a former CovCath basketball star who has had several family members attend CovCath, including grandson Luke Maile, a current Toronto Blue Jays player, had fond memories of Kaelin. “When I think of Jack, the words dedicated, motivator, dependable, leader, precise come to mind,” Maile said. “He loved what he did and gave his all for his school, the students, his team and God. He is and will continue to be a legend to the men who graduated from Covington Catholic High School. He touched many students in various ways and in that way, lived what I think is our mission on earth: take our gifts and use them to help others realize what their gifts are and to pay it forward.” In addition to German, Kaelin taught business law, typing, accounting, business math, personal ﬁ nance, economics and helped with Junior Achievement for three decades. Rowe said that while Kaelin was a teacher, he would bring his German class to a teacher or staﬀ member’s room to sing the Happy Birthday song in German. Kaelin continued to call people

bathﬁtter

and do that after he retired, and Rowe said he received one last birthday call in January. “Jack led by example,” Rowe said April 1. “His faith was at the center Kaelin of his life and he made that ever present to our faculty, staff and most importantly our students. Jack Kaelin is the person many of our alumni and others in the Northern Kentucky community think of when they think of Covington Catholic High School. He touched so many lives and made an impact that will always be felt.” His involvement with the athletic programs at CovCath began his fi rst year at the school when legendary basketball coach Mote Hils noticed Kaelin watching practice on a regular basis. Hils asked him if he wanted to keep the scorebook during games. Kaelin never stopped doing that. Kaelin was scorekeeper for basketball after he retired as a teacher. He was the scorekeeper for CovCath’s loss in the state fi nal in 1967, and the Colonels’ fi rst state championship win in 2014, stepping down from the role after that season. In a separate Enquirer article, he recalled the tough 54-53 loss to Earlington in the 1967 fi nal. Earlington won that game on a last-second tip-in. “It was a heartbreak memory,” Kaelin said. Dave Wear, a CovCath graduate who handles statistics and publicity for multiple sports programs at the school, said Kaelin and fellow teachers Dan Tieman and Hep Cronin looked after him after his father died during his freshman year at CovCath in 1965. Kaelin took Wear and other classmates on a baseball trip

to Chicago and St. Louis that Wear will always remember as helping him heal. “(They) all kept a young kid who was mad at God, mad at life and confused, on the straight and narrow,” Wear said. “Years later Mr. Kaelin was my roommate a couple of times when the basketball team was on the road and he told me to just call him Jack but I told him I couldn’t and wouldn’t, as he would always be Mr. Kaelin to me.” Ken Mueller, a former NKU basketball standout who retired a couple of years ago as Scott High School’s athletic director, has fond memories of Kaelin. “He gave me one of the biggest compliments I ever got," Mueller said. "While running the old TP/Kentucky Post Tip-off Classic years ago, Mr. Kaelin pulled me aside and said “Kenny, you do a heck of a job with this tourney.' Coming from him, a man who set me straight a few times in my younger days, that meant so much to me because he was the king of running these types of these events.” Kaelin served as cross country coach from 1965-2001 and track coach from 1966-82 before receiving his Kentucky High School Athletic Association license to become a track offi cial, which he was from 1982-2007. He started the Covington Catholic Invitational cross country meet that quickly became one of the state's best. His teams won 14 regional titles, two state titles and were state runner-up fi ve times. His track teams won fi ve regional championships. He helped start a club bowling team in 2004 and served as coach until his retirement, including the fi rst two seasons that the sport was sanctioned as a varsity sport by the KHSAA. Kaelin, for many years, ran the annual freshman boys basketball tournament, which is annually held at CovCath and was named after Kaelin several years ago.

Make your own chili like Zip’s, Main Street Cafe A bowl of chili from Main Street Cafe.

Chili like Zip’s Reader Sarah L. said: “It is just like Zip’s! I cooked the meat without browning and it turned out great - I simmered it on low for a couple of hours.” OK so you can’t get a better endorsement than that!

PROVIDED

The Buena Vida chili powder is Mary Lou’s and my choice - you can use the brand you like. Ingredients 2 pounds freshly ground beef, 80-20 meat to fat ratio 2 small onions, diced 3 cans, 14.5 oz. each, tomato sauce 1 small can tomato paste plus 1 can water 3 cans, 14.5 oz. each, diced tomatoes or chili ready tomatoes 1 large can chili beans (mild or hot) 1 teaspoon salt 1 envelope Buena Vida chili powder or 1-2 tablespoons your choice

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

Are you in the mood for chili? In particular, Chili like Zip’s Restaurant in Mt. Lookout or Main Street Café’s in Newtown? Well, several readers, including Sarah L., have asked me to publish the recipe again. First, a little history. Both restaurants are owned by the same family. I chatted with Dave Murrie of Main Street Café about his famous chili. “The recipe is proprietary, and we’ve made it for 24

years. Originally it was my Dad’s recipe. We make between 80-110 gallons a week,” Dave told me. I mentioned to Dave that I had met with Pauline Murrie years ago who was then chef owner of Main Street Café . Picking her brain about the chili, Pauline was pretty close lipped. And the only thing I could pry out of her was “start with the freshest meat, an 80-20 ratio and cook the meat without browning ﬁ rst.” The seasonings were “normal stuﬀ , but I use a bunch”, Pauline said. (The taste is yummy, slightly sweet with a decent amount of heat, sort of smooth textured without a lot of beans). Dave agreed with Pauline’s description,

but that was about all the information he gave me. Oh, and if I remember correctly, no bell peppers in the chili. I stopped at the café recently and bought some chili so you could see what it looked like. Check out the photo. The clone I’m sharing is originally from Mary Lou Olberding Diersing, passed down to her daughter, Casey. If you go the either restaurant, be sure and pair the chili with their equally famous burger.

Review contracts to avoid home improvement issues Sandra Guile Guest Columnist

I am responding to a letter-writer who recently attacked the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. She labeled them as “money-making amusement parks” and challenged the credibility of their impressive scientists. First, the attractions are owned and operated by a nonproﬁ t organization, Answers in Genesis. Any money they might make at the end of the year is returned to AIG to use toward developing their attractions. Second, they are not “amusement” parks, which suggest frivolous places with thrill rides like roller coasters. The Ark Encounter is a historical themed attraction. While the Ark is a fun place, I’ve learned much about biblical history and science there. Also, the Creation Museum contains many remarkable exhibits that would be welcome in any world-class museum. AIG has full-time scientists with doctorate degrees from schools like Harvard, Brown, Ohio State, and many others, yet the letter-writer denigrated their academic achievements by claiming that the scientists will “not allow open review of their work.” That’s preposterous. These scientists have had several papers published in peer-reviewed secular journals. As someone trained in science, I ﬁ nd it laughable when closedminded naysayers make false claims to support their one sided world views. Dr. Stephen R. Kees, Edgewood

After returning from the show, sift through the information, select the top three potential candidates for the project, and research the business from a source such as bbb.org. Once a decision is made and it’s time sign a contract, there’s still a few more steps to take before taking pen to paper. First, the selected contractor should prove they’re bonded, insured, and licensed appropriately. During the bidding process, the business should present copies of all necessary certiﬁ cations at the homeowner's

request. Close attention should be given to the type of insurance carried by the contractor, and proper coverage should be outlined for anyone involved with the project - including subcontractors. While checking out the company, review the references presented from previous projects. Next, the contract must list the exact items needed for the project, all the way down to the speciﬁ c quantity, size, price, and brand of the products the contractor plans to use. A proposed start and end date should be clearly listed, along with a payment schedule that includes the down payment – typically no more than 10 to 15 percent of the overall cost of the project. Homeowners should keep in mind, however, that start and end dates may change depending on unexpected delays during the project. Finally, homeowners are encouraged to ask if they are responsible for disposing of old appliances, cleaning up after demolition, and recycling any usable materials, or if these tasks fall under the services the contractor covers.

These details should be included in the contract along with any speciﬁ cs as to how they will keep your home clean as demolition is taking place. Any stipulations the contractor states - including requests to board animals elsewhere during construction - must also be outlined in the contract. Although the process of setting up and moving forward with a remodeling project is long and involved, there should be an opportunity to opt out of the contract at any point if things aren’t working out as planned. Read through the contract carefully for the cancellation clause and what rights you have to stop the work. Anyone attending should enjoy the remodeling show and get some great ideas for their upcoming project, but they should make sure to check out any chosen contractors at bbb.org before getting started.

How can we stop being jerky customers? Take 5 Melanie Laughman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

In a recent trip to a grocery store, I grabbed my usual few items in a hand basket and took my wares to the cashier's counter. I set the basket on the table (not a conveyor belt, just a small table) and started to reach for my wallet. I looked up and the cashier was just staring at the basket, not moving. I asked her if everything was OK, and she replied, "I never remove items from baskets." I didn't realize that was a thing. I simply thought the eﬀ ort to grab something from inside a basket was the same as it was on a table. I'm happy to learn the right way to be, so it wasn't a big deal to do as she wanted. Got to thinking: Have I been a jerk all this time and not known? Facebook opinions were 50-50 on whether that's truly an etiquette thing or whether she was just cranky. What else have I been ﬂ ubbing up? I asked friends to explain what circumstances they wished customers understood about jobs they had. In other words, when are customers just not right? The general truth seems to be that people who've never worked in customer service have unrealistic expectations. Inconsiderate cell phone users during checkout, people who get mad at employees if the store is out of the prod-

uct they seek, people who make a line of people behind them wait while they get something they forgot and people who treat pharmacists like they only count pills for a living were just a few quick hits my friends off ered to support that truth. School teacher Sylvia Hammons asked me to remind people that school is not a daycare. Dropping kids off early or coming to pick them up late has a ripple eff ect people generally forget. "While families are 'our customers,' they need to understand that teachers have a schedule to follow, too, and dropping kids off early and picking them up late prevents teachers from getting other responsibilities done. I’d say probably the same for sports coaches," she said. Planning for these circumstances is important. Part of planning, however, isn't giving your sick kid Tylenol that wears off in two hours so everyone ultimately has to deal with it (nurses, parents, teachers, classmates) anyway. Former Community Press writer Liz Carey gave another example: Her husband used to work at CompUSA where a woman screamed at him for 15 minutes because his company didn't sell fi lm for her digital camera. I'll give you a second to reread that. For her contribution, Leslie Kohlman talked about the bane of restaurant managers: The habitual complainers who come in to get free meals. I waited tables at Ground Round when the company had penny-perpound day for kids meals. You'd be sur-

prised how hard people will work to avoid paying for meals, even 65-cent dinners. Tara Stroud had another restaurant issue. Some people don't understand how reservations/call-ahead/seating issues work. "So many factors come into play when seating guests, i.e. party size, time of arrival, closed sections, smoking/non-smoking (used to), etc. I can’t tell you how many times I had to ﬁ eld a customer complaint because of how they thought it should go. Everyone knows more than the employees when they want to be seated." Now, it's understandable what most consumers deal with: Tight home budgets, too many stressors and too much to do with no time to do it. However, no one gets paid enough to be a customer's human ﬁ dget spinner. It's sad people talk to customer service workers in manners they'd never tolerate someone talking to their own loved ones. For the record, when I have a handheld basket at the grocery store, I now ask cashiers if they want me to remove items from those baskets. So far, no one cared one way or the other, but it was nice to ask. The Golden Rule isn't so hard to remember. Melanie Laughman is the digital preps planning editor for high school sports.

Boys high school baseball teams gear up for spring season on the diamonds James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

With the 2019 Kentucky High School Athletic Association baseball season underway, here's a look at some of the main storylines heading into the season.

Can NKY beat Louisville? In baseball, almost anything can happen in a one-game, winner-take-all format. But, for the last fi ve years, nothing but bad things have happened to Northern Kentucky teams in the state tournament. Local teams have been state runnerup each of the past fi ve seasons, and six times overall since the area’s last state championship, by Covington Catholic in 2002. Highlands in 2015 and 2018, Simon Kenton in 2014 and 2017, and Campbell County in 2016, have all fi nished as state runner-up. Three of those losses have been to Louisville St. Xavier, including last year, when Highlands fell 10-6 to the Tigers. St. X, ranked number one in Ken-

tucky again, is in the top 10 of the national poll, but in one game, anything can happen.

Highlands’ drive for fi ve Highlands is already making Ninth Region history, having won the regional championship for four years running. They have been state runner-up twice in that span. Highlands’ biggest obstacle to a fi ve-peat is replacing starting pitchers Drew Rom and Hunter Dreves. Dreves is a freshman at the University of Tennessee, and Rom, last year’s Enquirer player of the year, is entering his fi rst full season in the minor leagues after a strong rookie league debut last year in the Baltimore Orioles system. Highlands has plenty of arms ready to step up, including senior Grady Cramer and junior Collin Hollingsworth. Cramer was the number three last year. Junior Ethan Kavanagh, a University of Kentucky commit, leads the ofSee BASEBALL, Page 2B

A look ahead to the softball season for area girls high school teams James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

With the 2019 Kentucky High School Athletic Association softball season underway, here's a look at some of the main storylines heading into the season.

One and done The KHSAA changed the state tournament format this season to single elimination for the fi nal 16 vs. many years of playing double-elimination. The former format required teams to play four or fi ve games in a single day if they lost in the fi rst round of the tournament. With the change in format, the tourney will be at a college stadium ( the University of Kentucky) and give softball players the same type of atmosphere that baseball players enjoy at Lexington’s Whitaker Bank Ballpark.

Can a local team get over the hump?

No Northern Kentucky team has won more than two games in the state tournament since Ryle did so in 2008 with record-setting pitcher Kirsten Allen, who led the Raiders to Northern Kentucky’s only state softball championship in 2006. Ryle is the last team to even win two in the tourney, doing so in 2012. Ryle, ranked 21st in the preseason state poll by the coaches association, is not favored to break that string by the voters. Last year, the Raiders went 0-2 in the “group of death” in their doubleelimination pod, but the Raiders or any other regional champs may ﬁ nd better luck in a single-elimination format.

Ryle repeat? Ryle is looking to repeat in the Ninth Region after going 0-2 in the state tournament last season. The Raiders lost Northern Kentucky player of the year Maclai Branson, who is now a freshman player with the UK Wildcats, and three other starting seniors. See SOFTBALL, Page 2B

Eight NKU basketball players support coach Whitaker Max Londberg Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

In a joint letter, eight members of the Northern Kentucky women's basketball team stood by their coach, who has come under scrutiny after allegations of abuse by some of her players. The joint letter was published Saturday, ﬁ ve days after senior Taryn Taugher accused Coach Camryn Whitaker of emotionally abusing her and her teammates.

"We didn't want to be in the same room alone with her for fear that she would degrade us," Taugher wrote about Whitaker in The Odyssey , a blog site popular with college students. "What Whitaker used to be joy and passion quickly became fear and numbness as I stepped into practice." Last Monday, three players mentioned in Taugher’s column conﬁ rmed

her accounts on social media. Taugher accused Whitaker of isolating, humiliating and belittling players. Whitaker once shamed a former teammate with Crohn's disease because she needed to use the restroom during practice, Taugher claimed. And she accused Whitaker of lobbing insults at players, calling them lazy, asking if they "have a brain" and threatening to revoke scholarships. But Taugher's teammates gave a different viewpoint of their coach, writing

in their letter that they "love and support our staﬀ ." "Above all else, we believe they care about our well-being," they wrote. The players who signed the letter are: Grace White, Taylor Clos, Grayson Rose, Jazmyne Geist, Kailey Coﬀ ey, Molly Glick, Ally Niece and Emmy Souder.

Walton-Verona BB coach Grant Brannen steps down James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

WALTON - After leading Walton-Verona to its best season in school history, Grant Brannen has stepped down as head boys basketball coach. Athletic director Kyle Bennett said via email that Brannen resigned Monday, March 25 and would continue to teach at the school. Brannen led the Bearcats to a 28-7 record this past season and their ﬁ rst

berth in the KHSAA Sweet 16 since 1942. The Bearcats won a game in the tourney for the fi rst time in their history and lost to Campbell County in the quarterfi nals. Brannen was 116-65 in six seasons at WV, including 80-20 the past three seasons. With a large group of talented seniors, including 6-foot-10 Xavier signee Dieonte Miles, the Bearcats won the All “A” Classic Eighth Region each of the past three years, fi nishing as state runner-up in 2018. Brannen was 146-62 in seven seasons

Kentucky University, who just made its second trip to the NCAA Tournament in three seasons, losing to Texas Tech in the ﬁ rst round March 22. The NKU coach tweeted about his brother that Monday night, "Congratulations to the Best Coach I know. 13 seasons - 262 Wins. 9 District Titles, 7 All "A" Regional Titles, All "A" State Title, 8th Region Title, Sweet 16, Elite 8 and Coach of the Year in Both 8th and 9th Region.

Krumps at 1,000 Covington Catholic's last win of the 2018 season was the 1,000th in the coaching career of Bill Krumpelbeck. CovCath won the Ninth Region semifi nals before losing to Highlands in the fi nal. Despite winning at least 20 games every season for nearly three decades, Krumpelbeck the Colonels have not won a regional championship since 2005. CovCath lost to Highlands in the 2018 regional fi nal. CovCath’s hopes this year rely on a traditionally explosive off ense led by Jack Coldiron, a second-team all-state selection last year, and Division I prospect Sean Casteel on the mound. Both are all-state picks in the preseason.

Beechwood rolls The Tigers, led by Wright State commit Logan Castleman, will look to make a run at the Ninth Region championship, which it last won in 2009.

on players’ claims of “emotional abuse” by head coach Camryn Whitaker. “Northern Kentucky University values all of its students, including its student-athletes,” Wright said in the statement. She did not explain the new concerns that the university is looking into. In interviews with The Enquirer, four former Norse women’s players and one of their fathers describe a “toxic environment’ of intimidation, manipulation and humiliation.”

The ex-players detailed examples of verbal attacks of players’ characters, using one player’s medical condition as a form of punishment and isolating certain players from the rest of the team. The claims were ﬁ rst made public in an article written by former player Taryn Taugher on the Odyssey, an online media company that publishes crowdsourced material and is popular among college students. About a week later, eight current

NKU players posted a letter on Odyssey, saying they backed the coach and that the demands and hardships the team has faced “are not and have not exceeded the expected amount” for a Division I athlete. The letter did not address the speciﬁ cs charged by Taugher and other former players. None of the eight current players could be reached for comment. Whitaker also has not been available for comment.

our coach and program, we believe it is important to share our experiences regarding these recent allegations." The letter does not directly address speciﬁ c allegations made by Taugher, who earlier told The Enquirer she came forward to support her teammates and future recruits. "These verbal attacks were mostly behind closed doors, in her oﬃ ce, on what she liked to call the 'crying couch' where it was your word against hers," Taugher wrote. "...Northern Kentucky University's athletic department seems to be willing to do anything to silence the multiple emotional abuse allega-

tions against (Whitaker)." Whitaker has not responded to the allegations as of Saturday. Anna Wright, NKU's director of public relations, reTaugher leased a statement Monday night, saying the university is "aware of complaints surrounding the women’s basketball program. ... We recognize the courage it takes to share personal stories." Wright said complaints have been

"thoroughly reviewed separately by the Title IX and Athletics offi ces, and addressed in accordance with university policy." However, Taugher said she was not interviewed by Title IX offi cials while they were playing and has not been contacted by the university since Taugher's article was posted. Shar'Rae Davis, who told The Enquirer she was isolated from the team by Whitaker and made to feel by the coach like a "virus," also said she hadn't been interviewed by Title IX offi cials.

Camels climbing Campbell County has won the 10th Region two of the past three seasons, including last year, when they fi nished with a 21-12 record. The Camels also have to replace their top three pitchers, but they return junior Brady Brooks on the mound. Top off ensive threats include leadoff hitter Kyler Southerland and Adam Gray. Brooks is a preseason all-state pick, along with Gray, Gavin Peters and Jesus Riera. The 37th District fi gures to be one of the toughest in the state, with the Camels facing improved Scott and Bishop Brossart squads.

Coaches notebook Conner: The Cougars return three starters from last year’s team that went 18-17. Senior Derek Atwood, last year’s catcher of the year, hit .351 and 28 RBI. Senior Riley Stidham was one of the top second baseman in the area last year and moves to shortstop this season. Senior Garrett Coghlan hit .352 last season and will be counted on at third base and on the mound. Grant County: The Braves were 12-12 and return six veteran starters, including ﬁ fth-year players Damion Ingguls and Jacob Wilson. Bishop Brossart: The Mustangs were 19-13 and returning a deep, veteran team, led by Tyler MacDonald, Nathan Bezold, Chris Martin, Jacob Steﬀ en, Jarod Baynum.

The fi rst time anyone told me about goetta after I moved to Cincinnati, they said it was "sort of like scrapple, except with oats instead of cornmeal.'" "Oh, OK," I thought, because I'd heard of scrapple and knew what it was: cornmeal and meat scraps. I have since repeated this to Cincinnati newcomers. "Yeah, goetta. It's kind of like scrapple." I'm never using this comparison again. First of all, I realized a few decades into saying this that I'd never actually had scrapple. Secondly, the comparison often clarifi es nothing since a lot of people, if they're not from Pennsylvania or Delaware or Maryland, have ever had scrapple either, or even heard of it. Thirdly, I have now actually eaten scrapple, and goetta is so much better that the comparison gives scrapple too much credit. So, goetta is a German-inspired breakfast meat made by combining steel-cut or 'pinhead' oats with pork or pork and beef and cooking it for a long time. It's chilled in a loaf pan, then sliced and fried until crisp. (Or if it's Glier's, it's formed into a tube.) Scrapple is also German-inspired (The Amish make it and call it pon haas, or "pork rabbit.") and is always pork, mixed with cornmeal, cooked for a long time, put in a loaf pan, then sliced and fried until crisp. Sounds like a slight variation. But the diff erences are key. The steel-head oats in goetta are the secret to its de-

lightful texture. They are why you should always fry goetta with a splatter screen over the pan to keep the jumping and exploding grains of oats from popping and fl ying everywhere. Once cooked, they add a textural interest, with a sort of chewy, nubbly, popping feel. A well-cooked piece of goetta is both crisp and chewy, and if cut thick, a little creamy. The cornmeal in scrapple has none of that interest. It's fi ne-ground and contributes only, well, a mealy texture. It doesn't get truly crisp, just forms a sort of thin crust on the outside. But more importantly, scrapple, at least the scrapple I tried, which I bought in the frozen meat section at Kroger, includes pork liver. I like liver. Avril's liverwurst is delightful to me, and so is fi ne liver pate. I grew up on pork liver, which my parents bought because it's cheaper than calves' liver. But in the context of scrapple, it's awful. It makes the mixture a grayish-green. It's ickily smooth and makes it that much harder to get crisp. The spice and herb fl avorings are stronger in scrapple, maybe to cover up the taste of liver. And its texture just makes the whole thing suspect, like there are unidentifi ed innards in it. I never feel that way with goetta, especially the good stuff from a local butcher. It's often made with no scraps at all, since we now eat it because we love it, not because we're saving bits from the season's butchering. We win.

Cappies reviews from Simon Kenton High School’s ‘Witness for the Prosecution’ Student critics from the Cappies of Greater Cincinnati recently attended and reviewed Simon Kenton High School’s performance of “Witness for the Prosecution.” Below are top-ranked student reviews.

By Cassidy Perme, Highlands High School Cappies Critic Team Simon Kenton High School’s production of “Witness for the Prosecution” was guilty of success and execution with no trial necessary. Originally set in 1940s London, “Witness for the Prosecution” follows the trial of Leonard Vole and his potential murder of a wealthy older woman, Emily French. With eccentric characters and questionable witnesses and jury members, the trial is drawn out longer than expected. With all of this on the table, to add the madness, Vole’s wife Romaine, expected to stand with Vole, ends up a witness for the prosecution. With twists and turns at every plea, “Witness for the Prosecution” keeps every member of the audience wanting answers. Simon Kenton High School’s rendition took a turn on the script as they chose to set the play in 1990s America. These changes played out beautifully as they allowed for eﬀ ective comedic timing and build of character. With hard characters to embody and a need for a constant strenuous pace, Simon Kenton High School tackled all of these challenges with no objections. With a tough court case to handle

and the weight of the show on his shoulders, Mr. Wilfrid Robarts, portrayed by Aaron Hoppe, was in charge of both comedic and serious aspects of the production as well as maintaining the pace to keep the storyline intriguing. Right from the get-go, Hoppe did an impressive job balancing his relationship with Vole being genuine in contrast with his relationship with his counterpart, Ms. Meyers, the attorney for the prosecution, played by Mia Mariscal. On the other hand, Mariscal had an excellent performance as Meyers, allowing her big character to drive the role, leaving room for lots of laughs. Supporting allegations of the leads’ success were characters such as Judge Wainght, played by Taylor Hemingway, and Leonard Vole, played by Hunter Kerzee. Judge Wainght brought in the most laughs from the audience, playing up the sassy nature of the role. All of her jokes were able to land, and then some. In defense of Leonard Vole, his character required intense acting chops as he has to balance being put on trial, as well as maintaining his rocky relationship with his “wife,” Romaine. Kerzee portrayed this role with no misdemeanors, allowing the audience to advocate for his success in the jury room. Beyond actors, the technical aspects were pivotal to the storytelling. In this light, the costumes and set pieces needed to ensure the courtroom came to life. The costumes, designed and executed by Alex Mastin, did an excellent job accentuating the individualistic characters, allowing them to have personality.

The Defense team takes in the prosecution’s questions in Simon Kenton’s production of “Witness for the Prosecution.” MARC FIGGINS/PROVIDED

On the other hand, the courtroom captivated the audience and made them feel a part of the jury due to the detailed set, designed and executed by Sarah Kelch, Peyton Gose, and Austin Shaﬀ er. Simon Kenton High School’s rendition of “Witness for the Prosecution” is accused of nothing short of a successful production due to their constant triumph in pacing, character, and technical elements.

Excerpts from top-ranked student reviews “Leading this murder trial was Mr. Wilfrid Robarts, played by Aaron Hoppe. Hoppe’s depiction of the inquisitive, yet charming Robarts was splendid. From his stern gaze when talking to the prosecutor, to his slow stride and clear dialect when questioning a witness.” -Lin DeGraaf, Highlands High School “The most notable part of the technical elements was, by far, the set, designed by Sarah Kelch and Peyton Gose. The set was decorated to match the 1990’s time period and proved to be quite functional as well, allowing smooth transitions from the law oﬃ ce to the courtroom. Costumes by Alex Mastin were also striking, as outﬁ ts perfectly represented each character’s per-

sonality.” -Juli Russ, Highlands High School “The cast was anchored by their obvious dedication to their roles. Despite occasional sound issues, the cast made sure to project, and the plot was never lost. From the click-clacking of the clerk, to the coﬀ ee crazed intern, this performance was one ﬁ lled with eccentric characters that are reminiscent of popular crime show tropes. John-Michael Wardrop is a prime example of this. His character, Mr. Mayhew, spoke with a British accent for the entirety of the show. Wardrop never faltered in his portrayal which only enhanced his character work.” -Vicky Alcorn, Highlands High School “Aaron Hoppe did a wonderful job portraying the staid defense attorney, Mr. Wilfrid Robarts, as he looked at each witness he called with questioning eyes. He also had a great dynamic with Ms. Myers, portrayed by the talented Mia Marsical, as they made snippy remarks towards each other throughout the court proceedings.” -Emma Erion, Mercy McAuley High School Find more reviews at CinciCap.com/ reviews.
