Oliver Lawal wished he knew exactly where he contracted COVID-19. Around the time that international cases were confi rmed, the Erlanger resident traveled for business to Japan, Taiwan and China. In February, he bounced from India to Orlando for an infectious disease control conference and then to Baltimore. By mid-March he felt the symptoms of the highly contagious upper respiratory disease, couldn’t stop thinking about all the hands he shook and received a positive COVID-19 test result. Now, as he recovers at home, he wants to help the health care workers who helped to diagnose him. “It really dawned on me that we can actually help here,” Lawal, 49, said in the accent of his native Nottingham, England. Lawal’s company, AquiSense Technologies, has been around for fi ve years and specializes in cleaning water, air and surfaces with Ultraviolet Lightemitting diode technology, known as UV LED technology. Before he started his own company, he spent decades in the UV LED water treatment business. This kind of technology uses light waves to clean things like phones, iPads and toothbrushes, Lawal said. His products range from light fi lters to fi x onto sink faucets to projects with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the European Space Agency. It’s kind of like a microwave, Lawal

said, but these light waves are on a different wavelength Lawal read about health care workers’ struggle to obtain enough personal protective equipment to treat and test people with COVID-19. He ﬁ xated on the shortage of N95 masks, which health care workers wear to block droplets of coronavirus, which causes the disease COVID-19. Within a week, Lawal’s team took 15 years of experience and connections in See AQUISENSE, Page 4A

People experiencing homelessness in Northern Kentucky have been shuffl ed in and out of COVID-19 housing as offi cials clashed over where the vulnerable population should be housed during the pandemic. They won’t stay at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center anymore, which opened its doors to dozens of people experiencing homelessness in March. Due to federal guidelines that said hotel rooms would be better for physical distancing, the Emergency Shelter of Northern Kentucky and Welcome House planned to move about 40 individuals out of the center. There was an agreement for them to stay at the Springhill Suites hotel in Florence, according to Kim Webb, Executive Director of the Emergency Shelter of Northern Kentucky. But, that won’t happen anymore. The hotel rescinded the $40,000 to $60,000 housing deal it struck with the advocacy agencies after government offi cials said the hotel wasn’t zoned for transitional housing, according to interviews with the advocacy agencies and Diane Whalen, the Mayor of Florence. Use of a hotel for that purpose raised additional questions and concerns, Whalen told The Enquirer in an email. She said an “infl ux of large numbers of people from a diff erent location can potentially further spread the virus.” She also worried that people would gather outside of the rooms, confl icting with social distancing guidelines from the state.

A NOTE TO READERS In keeping with best practices that have been put in place across the newspaper industry, the Community Recorder is phasing out its youth carrier program and replacing it with an adult delivery force. This decision was not made lightly. The tradition of “paper boys” and “paper girls” delivering the newspaper is a nostalgic part of our history. But in the interest of youth safety, we believe it’s the right thing to do. The change will take effect with July editions. In the meantime, please continue doing business with your youth carrier and thank them for their dedication and service. We also thank them for bringing you the Community Recorder each week and being a vital part of our team. Future editions of your newspaper will include a preaddressed envelope for mailing your subscription payment.

NKU converts vacant buildings to support ﬁ rst responders School is conducting all classes remotely due to pandemic, campus building are being repurposed Sierra Newton Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Northern Kentucky University plans to convert several facilities on campus to support ﬁ rst responders battling the new coronavirus in Boone, Campbell and

Kenton counties. According to an email sent by NKU President Ashish Vaidya, because the school is now conducting all classes remotely, campus building are being repurposed. NKU’s Honors House will house ﬁ rst responders taking breaks from

work, a sanctuary away from their own homes. The building is expected to be ready Friday morning and will serve 40 ﬁ rst responders. NKU is also preparing Northern Terrace, a residence hall in their East Village, as a quarantine site for those who may have been exposed to the virus. The building can safely serve 100 people and is expected to come online by early next week. NKU’s dining services will remain

She added that the organizations had not communicated what the long-term plan would be for the individuals to comply with the state orders and the Kentucky Department of Public Health guidance. “There wasn’t really time to sit back and be angry ... we just moved on,” Webb said. A spokesperson for Springhill Suites who Webb had been in contact with about the arrangement did not return multiple requests for comment from The Enquirer –hen this article was originally published. “We have another hotel that welcomed the opportunity to keep their staff employed and the income,” Webb said. She declined to share where the hotel is, or which Northern Kentucky city it’s in, because she wanted to protect the privacy of the individuals who will be housed there. An on-site nurse and staff from the shelter and Welcome House of Northern Kentucky will be at the hotel 24-7 where people are being sheltered, Webb said. It could cost up to $80,000 to move people to a hotel. Webb added that they’ve talked to the Northern Kentucky Health Department about their eff orts as well. Webb said the organizations weren’t upset with Springhill Suites and decided “not to get caught up with what was brewing.”

Housing homeless in Florence hotels Whalen and oﬃ cials from Boone County found out between 80-100 Ohioans and Kentuckians who were experiencing homelessness were housed at local hotels, separate from the Emergency Shelter of Northern Kentucky and Welcome House eﬀ ort, because people called police to those locations, Whalen said. She said she does not know if those individuals are still at those hotels. Overall, Whalen said she wished there had been more communication about the arrangements. Then, Whalen said the city found out from a “representative of a third party” that a group of individuals from the Northern Kentucky Convention Center were going to stay at Springhill Suites. “Again, there was no inclusion in the discussion or planning with the City of Florence, Boone County, Boone County Emergency Management or the Northern Kentucky District Health Department,” Whalen said. Florence is Northern Kentucky’s second-largest city, home to just over

open providing meals to those using the facilities, delivery will be coordinated through the County Emergency Management team. The university is also in early discussion with St. Elizabeth Hospital to convert BB&T Arena into a 200-bed hospital facility in the case of overfl ow. The plan may go into eff ect at the end of April and serve the purpose of overfl ow through June.

32,000 people. It was also the second most common Northern Kentucky city where people experiencing homelessness in the region had their last stable home, according to a report from the Northern Kentucky Homelessness Working Group. That group is made up of organizations that provide services to people experiencing homelessness in Northern Kentucky. “We are in uncharted waters,” Whalen said. “This is only one of hundreds of diﬀ erent issues that local, state and national government agencies are dealing with every day that they’ve never dealt with before.”

Lord’s Gym will be doing regular grocery runs, according to a press release from Welcome House. Donations are being accepted to cover the costs of the hotel stay, providing meals and the continued support of supply purchases and paying staﬀ , she said. “We’re doing this because it’s the right thing to do for the clients and our community,” Amrine said.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, resources were already sparse for people experiencing homelessness in Northern Kentucky. There are four shelters in Covington and one new shelter in a Florence church that opened its doors on a few bitter nights this winter. In 2019, the City of Covington drafted an ordinance that would restrict how the shelters in the city could operate. Many changes were made to the ordinance which was signed into law in February. Covington Mayor Joe Meyer told The Enquirer in a statement that he thought it was “critical” that people experiencing homeless are protected “during times like this” but added that he didn’t think the convention center was the best place for a temporary shelter during the public health pandemic. “Covington believes that relocating the popup shelter to another location gives another area of Northern Kentucky the opportunity to help fulﬁ ll this moral obligation.” Julia is the Northern Kentucky government reporter through the Report For America program. Anonymous donors pledged to cover the local donor portion of her grant-funded position with The Enquirer.

What hotel housing will look like Hotel rooms oﬀ er people sheltering a chance to take showers. The convention center had no showers and Lord’s Gym, a ﬁ tness center in Covington, was taking small groups to shower, Webb said. “In a hotel, our clients have access to showers, bathrooms, and laundry,” said Danielle Amrine, Welcome House’s CEO. “With so many of the businesses closed, our clients can’t practice good hygiene or have a place to use the bathroom. The clients become more transient, looking for resources.” Each day, Cornerstone Apostolic Church will provide breakfast. Fair Haven Rescue, a shelter in Covington, and Be Concerned, a Covington food pantry, will provide lunch. PeeWee’s Restaurant will provide hot dinners.

Judge Gentry misconduct hearing rescheduled for summer due to pandemic Julia Fair

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Kenton County Family Court Judge Dawn Gentry’s misconduct hearing was rescheduled for Aug. 10, according to court documents from the Judicial Conduct Commission. Gentry was set to appear in a Northern Kentucky court April 20 for her misconduct hearing about the state’s claims that she used sex, campaign ﬁ nances and retaliation as tools in her judgeship. The Judicial Conduct Commission, the entity that can punish sitting judges, agreed to postpone the hearing in March due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. The hearing will take place over ﬁ ve days, according to court documents. ❚ Where: Campbell County Courthouse at 330 York St., Newport ❚ When: 8:30 a.m. Aug. 10, 2020

Gentry’s misconduct case In December, the commission made public its investigation into the judge’s conduct and claimed the judge used sex, campaign contributions and retaliation as tools in her judgeship. Gentry, 39, became a judge in 2016 when former Gov. Matt Bevin picked her to fi ll a vacancy. Gentry, who makes $136,900 a year, was elected to a fouryear-term in 2018. In January, the Republican judge, was temporarily suspended with pay from the bench after a nine-hour hearing in Louisville. The commission isn’t the only government entity investigating Gentry’s behavior. In February, the Kentucky General Assembly assembled a committee to determine if there’s suffi cient evidence to impeach the judge. If she is impeached, she would be the fi fth individual in the state’s history to be impeached. She could face permanent removal from the bench.

Kenton County Family Court Judge Dawn Gentry testiﬁ es at her hearing at the Jefferson County Judicial Center in Louisville on Friday, January 3. MEG VOGEL/THE ENQUIRER

What is Gentry charged with? 1 Coercion to participate in judicial campaign. 2 Retaliation for failure to support the judicial campaign. 3 Facilities and time sheet falsiﬁ cation. 4 Retaliation against school employees. 5 Held meetings with her Guardian Ad Litem panel, guardians that a court appoints to watch after someone during a case, without inviting private attorneys who also represented individuals in the case. 6 Harassment and retaliation against Katherine Schulz 7 Inappropriate hiring and relationship with Stephen Penrose. 8 Hiring and appointing court staﬀ not based on merit. 9 Failure to be candid and honest with the commission. Gentry denied almost all charges, according to court documents. During her Louisville-based temporary removal hearing, she admitted there was one inappropriate joke she received and did not reply to on Snapchat and that she appointed “acquaintances” to family court positions that handled custody cases.

the UV LED business world to design, develop and mail lightboxes called the PearlSurface 24G8 that can disinfect three masks at a time. Protective masks have become increasingly hard to obtain as more Americans are diagnosed with COVID-19. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now recommends that people wear cloth masks, many of which are homemade, when they leave their homes. Health care workers need more heavy-duty masks, such as the N95 masks. A survey conducted by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Oﬃ ce of Inspector General found the most common equipment shortages in hospitals were N95 respirator masks, among other personal protective equipment. The shortages were so severe that some hospitals were experimenting with non-medical-grade gear such as construction respirators, cloth masks and handmade gowns, according to USA TODAY. Kentucky oﬃ cials are also asking people to donate N95 masks to health care workers. The light disinfection boxes from AquiSense Technologies can clean the masks for reuse. The boxes cost from $3,000 to $5,000. Each box can clean three N95 masks at once with UV LED lights. Lawal said it takes about 15 min-

utes to clean the masks and added that his company is working with several universities to conﬁ rm that’s the right amount of time. He got the parts for the box from India, Ohio and other areas. Everything gets assembled at his factory in Erlanger on Olympic Boulevard. His company sold the boxes to the Kansas-based distributor Black and Veatch, which sells products to hospitals and health care facilities. He expects local hospitals to reach out directly to his company about purchasing them as well. Lawal watched UV LED technology expand over the past 30 years. Lawal is recovering but he doesn’t feel like he has full lung capacity yet, he said. Still, every day he works with his team to oversee the production and distribution of the machines that could save health care workers’ lives. “I would love for locals to contact us,” Lawal said.

Kentucky will pay Covington’s Gravity Diagnostics $2.5 million a month for COVID-19 testing Julia Fair

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Kentucky will pay Gravity Diagnostics $2.5 million a month for the small medical lab in Covington to provide 2,000 COVID-19 tests a day, according to the contract the Kentucky Center for Investigative Reporting obtained and posted online. The state agreed to pay for 50,000 tests at $51 per test in April even if the state doesn’t get all of the tests it agreed to pay for, according to the contract. The contract requires the state to pay for the tests each month “regardless if test volume is actually received or not.” That agreement can be renewed on a month to month basis until March 2021, according to the contract. The lab and the state can opt out of the contract at any time. When Gov. Andy Beshear announced the partnership Sunday, April 5, he cautioned that testing capacity could be reduced if supplies are limited. He said the number of tests conducted daily will depend on the

number of swabs and other supplies the state has access to. “Swabs are in critical demand and we are looking at options on the manufacturing side in any way that we can get them,” Beshear said. When the lab started testing COVID-19 samples in mid-March, it tested six samples a day. It increased its capacity to over 100 tests and day and now it up to 2,000 tests daily. The lab hired 13 new employees since it started testing for COVID-19 and plans to hire seven more, Tony Remington, CEO of Gravity Diagnostics, told The Enquirer April 8 in an email.

What to know about the agreement Samples will get dropped oﬀ at the lab twice a day. The lab will begin its test process within 24 hours of receiving each COVID-19 sample. Each sample will be sent back to the state within two business days, according to the contract. See TESTING, Page 8A

5 things to know about the small lab in Covington testing for COVID-19 Julia Fair

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A small medical lab in Northern Kentucky began testing for COVID-19 in the midst of the international pandemic. As the number of confi rmed cases increased across the U.S., Tony Remington, the CEO of Gravity Diagnostics, fi gured out how his lab could help ramp up testing for the disease. On April 5, Gov. Andy Beshear announced the lab agreed to provide the state with 2,000 daily tests. The lab started doing just six tests a day and increased to over 100 tests a day by the end of March. Here's fi ve things to know about the lab:

1. Who runs Gravity Diagnostics? Tony Remington is the CEO of Gravity Diagnostics. His small private lab oﬀ Russell Street in Covington opened in 2016. Now, his team is part of the cohort of medical professionals testing novel coronavirus samples to slow the spread of the international pandemic.

2. Who gets the COVID-19 tests under the new agreement?

Gravity Diagnostics agreed to test health care workers, ﬁ rst responders and people who are considered symptomatic, Beshear said April 5 at his press conference Before the lab contracted with Kentucky, it got COVID-19 samples swabbed from noses from people in Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio and West Virginia. The agreement will allow for testing outside of the so-called "golden triangle" region of Kentucky. The triangle, which includes Louisville, Lexington and Northern Kentucky, is considered the center of the state's population, wealth and economic growth. In that region, Beshear said, the University of Kentucky and University of Louisville are providing quick turnarounds for testing.

3. How quickly are the results ready?

was testing for things like sexually transmitted diseases and the ﬂ u.

5. How did they get involved in COVID-19 testing? Remington’s team got authorization from the Food and Drug Administration in the middle of March, bought about $500,000 worth of equipment they needed and got to work. The lab went from testing six samples a day, to more than 100 a day to about 2,000 a day with the new contract from the state.

The results are sent to clinicians the same day, Remington told The Enquirer in March. As they begin to test more samples, the turnaround time will increase to 48 hours.

Sports 10 best prep moments from 2019-20 in NKY onship. Jude Dierker won the state diving championship, extending the region’s dominance in the event, with locals winning the title in 10 of the past 11 seasons. Dixie Heights ﬁ nished fourth in the girls team standings behind SECbound seniors Selina Reil and Kenady Beil, who each had a runner-up ﬁ nish.

James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

From state championships, recordbreaking performances and buzzerbeaters, there was no shortage of thrilling moments in Cincinnati prep sports in the 2019-20 school year. Here are, in no particular order, the 10 best moments in Northern Kentucky high school sports from the 2019-20 season.

State champions wrestling

CovCath football Covington Catholic won the KHSAA 5A state championship with a 14-7 win over Frederick Douglass. The Colonels won their second championship in three years and their eighth overall. CovCath was led by one of the best players in the country, Michael Mayer (see below), who made big plays on both sides of the ball. Junior quarterback Caleb Jacob threw for 2,817 yards and 33 touchdowns, as he led a diverse oﬀ ense with several weapons. The defense had 10 senior starters, led by Mayer and Daniel Felix. They allowed only 91 points in 15 games, and they ﬁ nished the year by shutting down an explosive Douglass team averaging 43 points and 364 yards per game featuring several athletic playmakers and two elite Division I recruits on the line.

Michael Mayer, the All-American Northern Kentucky celebrated one of its best football players in recent memory as Michael Mayer completed his senior season at Covington Catholic. Mayer led the Colonels in receiving as a tight end/receiver and led the defense in tackling from his front-seven position. Mayer was a key player in CovCath’s two closest wins of the season, a 39-38 win over Lexington Catholic in week 3 and a 14-7 win over Frederick Douglass in the 5A state championship game. Mayer racked up rare individual honors for a Northern Kentucky player along the way. The Notre Dame signee became an Army All-American, won Gatorade Player of the Year, and became Northern Kentucky’s fi rst Mr. Football winner since 2011 and fi fth overall. Mayer fi nished the season as a fi ve-star recruit and a consensus listing among the top two tight ends in the nation, and many experts are predicting he has a bright future in the NFL, like Elder product Kyle Rudolph.

The switch Two traditional small-school powers in Northern Kentucky found themselves in new territory after switching classes in the new KHSAA football realignment. Beechwood moved up to Class 2A for the 2019 season and Newport Central Catholic took its place in 1A. Both teams adjusted well to their new

homes. NCC went 10-3, dominating district competition before losing a close game (21-16) at Louisville Holy Cross in the state quarterfi nals. Beechwood went 8-6 against its usual tough schedule against bigger schools but went 5-0 in district games by a dominant margin before running into powerhouse and former 1A nemesis Mayfi eld in the state semifi nals. Mayfi eld won 35-7 The two local rivals still played their traditional rivalry game to end the regular season, with NewCath winning 17-14 in Fort Mitchell.

Highlands soccer rules the region Both Highlands soccer teams won the Ninth Region championship for the second straight year. The boys team, after a thrilling penalty-kick shootout win over Covington Catholic in the regional fi nal, went on to fi nish 17-6-4 and lost to Henry Clay in the state quarterfi nals in PKs. The Bluebirds had Porter Hedenberg, Max Farris and Caymon Stevie lead the off ense and a veteran defense allowed only 34 goals for the year. The girls team defeated Notre Dame in the regional fi nal for the second straight year, with the winning goal coming via a great individual play from sophomore Chloe Bramble. The Bluebirds, with help from another late goal by Bramble, advanced to the state fi nals, where they lost 1-0 to Greenwood and fi nished 20-4-5. Top players include NKU signee Lauren Deckert, one of the top players and defenders in the state, with Bramble and sisters Faith and Maria Broering leading the off ense. Despite dealing with numerous injuries at goalkeeper, the Blue-

birds allowed only 22 goals for the season. Also in local soccer: Calvary Christian won the 37th District boys championship, winning a district title for the fi rst time since 2008. Holy Cross won its fi rst district championship since 1996, defeating Covington Catholic in penalty kicks. Holy Cross (11-8-3) has won eight of its last nine. Conner won its fi rst-ever 33rd District championship and its fi rst overall since at least 2000. Simon Kenton’s boys team, 1-20 entering the 32nd District tournament, won the championship. Conner also made history in the girls bracket, winning its fi rst-ever 33rd District championship. Conner beat Cooper in overtime and Ryle 6-0 in the tournament, avenging earlier losses to both teams. Simon Kenton won its eighth straight 32nd District championship.

Highlands swimmers rule the pool Highlands had a postseason to remember in the swimming pool. The Bluebirds won two individual titles: Mac Russell claimed the 50 freestyle and junior Jack Banks, the 100 breaststroke. They are the fi rst individual swimming champions from the boys team since 2011. Russell became the fi rst Northern Kentuckian to win the boys 50 free since Conner's Brian Collins, currently the owner of Cherry Hill Swim Club, won three state titles from 1971-73. Highlands fi nished second in the boys standings to perennial champion Louisville St. Xavier, and with the girls team led by Caroline Sand, the Bluebirds won the combined state champi-

Ryle and Walton-Verona led the Northern Kentucky contingent in the KHSAA state wrestling championships. Walton-Verona took home individual state championships from Spencer Moore at 106 and Daulton Mayer at 195. Both Bearcats had dominant seasons. Moore, a sophomore, fi nished 48-0, Moore won all fi ve matches in the state tournament by pin in the fi rst period, winning the KHSAA trophy given out for that kind of dominance. He had fi ve pins in 6 minutes fl at. The Bearcats were small-school runner-up. Ryle sophomore Cole Thomas defeated Grant County’s Isaac Thornton 6-2 in the championship match at 120 pounds. Thomas is a two-time state champ after winning at 106 last year. Thomas was dominant all year, fi nishing an undefeated 54-0. He won his fi rst four matches by pin before a tough match against second-ranked Thornton, who was also a state runner-up last year. Ryle fi nished fourth in the state team standings with six state medalists. Campbell County won the Region 6 team championship, with four regional champions.

Girls wrestling Ryle freshman Olivia Messerly became the third female in Kentucky history to qualify for the KHSAA state meet. She was joined in this year’s bracket by a fourth qualifi er in the 106pound weight class bracket. Messerly fi nished third in the regional meet at 106 pounds and qualifi ed for state. She is part of a meteoric rise in girls entering the sport in the region and around the nation.

CovCath basketball Covington Catholic dominated Northern Kentucky this season, going 29-5 overall, winning 28 of 30 after a 1-3 start. The Colonels went 19-0 against Northern Kentucky teams, 13 of them by more than 20 points before outlasting Highlands in a dramatic Ninth Region ﬁ nal. CovCath won its third straight regional title CovCath is led by senior point guard Grant Disken, who is the Ninth Region’s Mr. Basketball ﬁ nalist. Senior Neil Green emerged as the top post player in the region. Noah Hupmann, a 7-foot-1 See BEST PREP, Page 2B

NKU transfer Jalen Tate commits to Arkansas Bobby Nightengale Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Northern Kentucky transfer Jalen Tate, who received interest from the University of Cincinnati and Xavier, announced he was committing to Arkansas on Friday, April 10. He was considered one of the top available grad transfers after averaging 13.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists

during his redshirt junior season. He was the Horizon League's Defensive Player of the Year, helping the Norse to a conference tournament title in head coach Darrin Horn's ﬁ rst season. "Thank you to Norse Nation for the most wonderful beginning to a college career with all the support and the success we were able to have," Tate wrote on Twitter. "I know y'all will keep the winning tradition and legacy that we started to build on going. With that be-

ing said, I will be committing to the University of Arkansas!" The Pickerington, Ohio, native was recruited to play for NKU by John Brannen, who left to coach at UC prior to the 2019-20 season. Tate was ranked No. 16 on ESPN's list of top grad transfers and No. 11 by Stadium. Tate was selected to the Horizon League's all-defensive team for three straight years.

Kentucky Mr./Miss Basketball awards moved to June James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Due to the novel coronavirus pandemic eliminating the possibility for Kentucky All-Star tryouts, the Kentucky Association of Basketball Coaches announced that the KABC Regional Players of the Year, as voted on this season by coaches, will be the Kentucky-Indiana All-Star Teams for 2020. Along with this, the KABC, in conjunction with the Indiana All-Star Director, has canceled the 2020 Kentucky-Indiana All-Star Games originally scheduled for June 5. The 2020 Mr. and Miss Kentucky Basketball Awards ceremony has been rescheduled for June 28 at the Griﬃ n Gate Marriott in Lexington. All the boys and girls KABC Regional Players of the Year will be recognized as Kentucky AllStars, and receive their POY Awards. Included in that group are Maddie Scherr of Ryle, Maggie Jones of Simon Kenton and Grant Disken of Covington Catholic. The event was originally scheduled for April 5 but had to be postponed to adhere to CDC policies to help reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus. More information about the event is also available at www.mrandmisskybasketball.com.

center, made some big plays in the regional ﬁ nal and the Colonels prospered with depth and defense.

Maddie Scherr, Ryle make history Ryle senior Maddie Scherr rolled through this season as one of the most decorated girls basketball players in Northern Kentucky history. The signee with national championship contender Oregon became Northern Kentucky’s ﬁ rst-ever McDonald’s All-American. She is the ﬁ fth Kentucky player and fourth Greater Cincinnati player to earn the prestigious honor.

Ryle senior Maddie Scherr has been the top contender for Kentucky Miss Basketball. She received another statewide award April 9, being named the top vote getter in the all-state team published by the Louisville Courier-Journal. The newspaper surveyed head coaches around the state, and the complete team is here. The Oregon signee averaged 14.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 2.9 steals and 1.8 blocks for a Raiders squad that went 23-11 and reached the quarterfi nals of the Sweet 16 before it was postponed. She ranked No. 3 in the state in free-throw shooting (86.6 percent) and was named a McDonald’s All-American, the Gatorade Kentucky Player of the Year and the Ninth Region Player of the Year by the Kentucky Association of Basketball Coaches. She was the MVP of the Sweet 16 as a junior and fi nished her career as Ryle’s all-time leader in points (2,297), rebounds (1,094), assists (679), steals (535) and blocks (233). She also earned fi rst-team All-State honors as a junior and second-team as a sophomore. “She’s always known she was good, but the part that separates her is that she was never satisfi ed with her game,” Raiders coach Katie Haitz said in the Courier-Journal. “She always knew there was someone out there better than

her and she didn’t want that because she’s such a competitor. … She could have scored 30 points per game if she wanted, but that wouldn’t have necessarily meant we’d win the game and she understood that.” George Rogers Clark senior Kennedy Igo, a Northern Kentucky University signee, was also a fi rst-team pick. The 5-7 guard averaged 14.6 points and 2.6 rebounds for a Cardinals squad that went 22-10 and won its fourth straight 10th Region championship, all with Igo in the starting lineup. She shot 39 percent (69 of 177) from 3-point range and 82.8 percent (53 of 64) from the free-throw line. Was named the 10th Region Player of the Year by the Kentucky Association of Basketball Coaches. Scored 1,599 points over her four seasons at GRC. Also a fi rst-team All-State pick as a junior and a third-team selection as a sophomore. “Kennedy is one of toughest, most fi erce competitors I have had the pleasure to coach,” Cardinals coach Robbie Graham said in the Courier-Journal. “Kennedy stepped up big time when it was crunch time. This season she played with a very painful chipped bone in her ankle. Kennedy is a tremendous leader on and off the court.” Franklin County junior Brooklynn Miles, who has multiple Division I off ers, including Cincinnati and NKU, was also

a fi rst-team pick. She averaged 21.5 points, 4.9 assists, 4.1 steals and 3.8 rebounds for a Franklin County squad that fi nished 27-8 after losing to Anderson County in the fi rst round of the Sweet 16. Simon Kenton senior Maggie Jones was named second team and Bishop Brossart junior Marie Kiefer third team. Lacey Bradshaw of Notre Dame and Brie Crittendon of Ryle were honorable mention. On the Courier-Journal boys all-state team, NKU signee Marques Warrick of Henry Clay was fi rst team. The 6-1 senior averaged 23.2 points and 4.8 rebounds for a Blue Devils squad that fi nished 24-6 after falling to Frederick Douglass in the semifi nals of the 42nd District Tournament. Warrick shot 43.4 percent (69 of 159) from 3-point range and 81.8 percent (148 of 181) from the free-throw line. He was named the 11th Region Player of the Year by the Kentucky Association of Basketball Coaches and fi nished his career with a school-record 1,909 points. Warrick was a third-team All-State pick as a junior. CovCath’s Disken was named second team. Highlands junior Sam Vinson and Simon Kenton junior Kelly Niece were third team. Beechwood junior Scotty Draud and St. Henry junior Wyatt Vieth were honorable mention.

Scherr was named the Gatorade Player of the Year in Kentucky for the second straight year and is the favorite to become Miss Basketball when the award is announced later this spring. Scherr is Ryle’s all-time leader in every major career statistic, having more than 2,200 career points and 1,000 rebounds. She led the Raiders to their third straight Ninth Region championship, becoming only the third Northern Kentucky program to win three in a row. Ryle had advanced to the state quarterﬁ nals before the Sweet 16 was postponed by the new coronavirus crisis.

state media poll and fi nished with a 27-5 record after losing in the Eighth Region quarterfi nals. The Pioneers had a deep team, led by Miss Basketball fi nalist Maggie Jones and three other players averaging in double fi gures: Mattie Vickers, Morgan Stamper and Sereniti Webb. Several other programs had their best seasons in recent memory. Both Bishop Brossart programs had outstanding years, as the girls team fi nished 24-6, led by 10th Region player of the year Marie Kiefer; while the boys team was 25-7, led by Ethan Eilerman. Walton-Verona fi nished 24-10, fi nished as All “A” state runner-up for the second straight year, and beat SK in the 32nd district fi nal. Campbell County fi nished 22-12 and advanced to the 10th Region fi nal before

losing to Geroge Rogers Clark. Notre Dame (25-7) had its best season since advancing to the 2013 state fi nal, losing to Ryle in the Ninth Region fi nal in a close contest. Three Ninth Region boys teams had one of the best seasons in their history. Highlands, led by junior Sam Vinson, fi nished 28-4, won the 36th District and took CovCath to the wire in the Ninth Region fi nal. Conner fi nished 23-6 and was 33rd District champions, taking a 17-game winning streak into the Ninth Region Tournament, where the Cougars lost to Highlands in the semifi nals. St. Henry fi nished 25-5, winning the 34th District championship and claiming its second All “A” Classic state title along the way.

Hospital parking lot during COVID-19:

‘It’s the scariest thing I’ve seen’ Terry DeMio Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Fear swept over her. She looked through her windshield as she sat in her car in the hospital parking lot. Waiting for her phone to ring. “It’s the worst thing I ever experienced,” said Kimberly Wright of Taylor Mill. She’d watched as paramedics disappeared behind the glass emergency department doors of St. Elizabeth Hospital Wright in Edgewood with her husband, who’d fallen ill with a non-COVID-19 emergency. Visitors are restricted at hospitals during this novel coronavirus pandemic. It is for their protection, that of the patients and the healthcare workers. It is part of this current normal. Wright knew that. But she was not prepared for what it meant. “That ER parking lot was the scariest thing I’ve seen,” she said a day later. From her car in that parking lot on March 31, she looked around and saw others sitting in their cars, waiting for a call as she waited for a doctor to call her. She wore an N95 mask and gloves. “To say I was distraught is an understatement,” Wright told friends through Facebook the next day. “I watched as ambulance after ambulance brought people in, and helicopters landing.

“I worry about him catching this virus now,” she wrote, “and I just plain worry.” The call came, ﬁ nally, and the ER doctor was reassuring. The nurses were, too. They gently encouraged her to go home. She stayed four hours in the parking lot anyway, then put her car into drive, urging herself to heed the nurses’ advice. “It was so hard to leave and come home,” Wright said. “They are taking excellent care of him,” she quickly added. “I get updates every couple hours.” But at night, she kept thinking about the parking lot. And, of course, about her husband. “I’m trying to stay safe for him,” she said. Wright is not new to crisis. She

founded Kentucky Parents Against Heroin, a support and advocacy group for people with children with addiction. She has worked the front lines, demanding help from government leaders, volunteering to help others whose children have died and those whose kids are in active addiction. She has lived, too, through the fears of having a child with addiction, now safe in recovery. She is a crusader for public health action to save lives. And with all the confusion of the

parking lot stay, Wright found herself in a familiar position again, drawn to warn others about the impact of a health crisis. This time, the crisis is COVID-19. And she is imploring people, “Stay home.” “I’m begging people to stay home,” Wright said, “so you never have to experience what I’ve been through the past 24 hours.” Editor’s note: Information included reﬂ ects this article’s original publication date – April 2.

Savoring the little things is a beneﬁ t Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

A few weeks ago, I tossed well-aged chicken manure onto our vegetable garden. Today, as I tilled it, I was happy to see fat worms wiggle through. A simple country pleasure. To top that off , my neighbor Liz stopped by with her toddlers, Ollie and Calvin. Yes, they kept their distance, though it was hard for those little ones not to run right up to say hello. The boys played in the sandbox, checked the chickens out and then they went walking back home. That, too, brought a smile. Maybe something simple in your life was magnifi ed this week, as well. Savoring the little things is a benefi t of this “sheltering in place,” don’t you think? Anyway, by the time the garden was tilled supper was on my mind. I made a cooking school favorite. Originally from friend and cooking expert Carol Tabone, this chicken with mustard sauce is not only easy, it’s out of the ordinary and so yummy. A way to elevate the chicken we all seem to have so much of.

Chicken moutard (chicken with mustard sauce). RITA HEIKENFELD/FOR THE ENQUIRER

Chicken moutard (chicken with mustard sauce)

Heat butter and oil and sauté until – golden brown and cooked. Remove from pan and keep warm.

This calls for whipping cream and white wine. Worth a trip to the grocery.

Pour off some of the fat that remains. Deglaze pan with wine and reduce by half.

Whipping cream can be frozen – just whisk it after thawing.

Add shallots and 3/4 cup of the cream and reduce until nicely thickened (but not too much).

The wine can be any white or even Rose or white Zinfandel. In this day and age, no use getting picky. This is my slight adaptation to Carol’s recipe. I served it on a bed of spinach.

Dilute mustard with rest of cream and whisk into sauce. Pour in any juices from chicken. Heat through but don’t boil. Place chicken on plate, nap with the sauce and sprinkle with Parmesan.

Ingredients About 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (4 breasts)

Gilding the lily: A shower of chopped parsley is nice on top.

Salt and pepper

Tip:

Butter and olive oil for sautéing

Why a combo of butter and olive oil?

2/3 cup white wine, dry wine if you have it (see note above)

Butter adds flavor but has a low smoke point; oil has a higher smoke point, keeping butter from burning.

1/4 cup ﬁ nely chopped shallots, or red or sweet onion

Unsalted or salted butter – does it matter?

1 cup whipping cream

Not in this recipe since you are adjusting the seasonings.

2 nice tablespoons Dijon mustard (or country mustard) Parmesan cheese for garnish

Unsalted butter doesn’t keep as long as salted since salt acts as a preservative.

Instructions

I freeze extra unsalted butter.

Pound out chicken. This makes them all the same thickness and easier to cook.

Deglazing Just means to stir a liquid into brown bits to get them off bottom of pan. These bits are called a “fond.”

Season with salt and pepper.

COMMUNITY NEWS Kentucky Girl Scouts: Company buys 1,250 boxes of cookies Recently, Girl Scouts of Kentucky’s Wilderness Road (GSKWR) called on businesses in Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati to help fund its programs by buying surplus cookies, since Girl Scouts cannot sell cookies door-to-door due to the COVID-19 crisis. American Homeland Title Agency, with oﬃ ces in Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati stepped up to help with a $5,000 contribution for 1,250 boxes of cookies from both GSKWR and Western Ohio Girl Scouts. American Homeland Title Agency typically gives fresh-baked cookies to clients at residential real estate closing transactions, so this was a great ﬁ t. “We thought this was a wonderful way to give back to the community. We will now be able to give Girl Scout cookies to our buyers for the foreseeable future until things return to normal”, said John J. Yonas, Attorney and Partner, American Homeland Title Agency. GSKWR relies heavily on cookie sales as they represent over 80% of its annual operating budget and provide girls and their troops the opportunity to set goals and earn their own money, used to fund rigorous programs and growth opportunities. GSKWR currently has warehouse locations throughout the State of Kentucky housing tens of thousands of surplus cookies that must be sold. Companies throughout Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati, large and small, are urged to purchase cases of cookies to support front-line workers in healthcare, restaurant businesses, manufacturing, distribution and any other essential businesses or organizations that continue to work during the COVID-19 crisis, or to donate to food banks or senior facilities to support vulnerable populations. “We are thrilled to have American Homeland Title’s support during this challenging time”, said Haleigh McGraw, Communications Director, Girl Scouts of Kentucky’s Wilderness Road. “We’ve seen great support from other companies as well, but still have thousands of boxes of cookies to sell to support our Kentucky Cookie Entrepreneurs”, she continued. To purchase cases of cookies with a

American Homeland Title Agency, with offices in Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati stepped up to help with a $5,000 contribution for 1,250 boxes of cookies from both GSKWR and Western Ohio Girl Scouts. PROVIDED

$250 minimum for 5 cases, go to www.gskentucky.org/cookie-relief or, contact Tammy Durham, Director of Grants and Community Partnerships at tdurham@gswrc.org. By earning their own money through cookie sales, Kentucky Girl Scouts learn goal setting, ﬁ nancial literacy and entrepreneurship skills through the Girl Scout Cookie Program. Revenue from the Girl Scout Cookie Program maintains GSKWR property and provides programming on 4 camp properties, provides ﬁ nancial assistance to more than 2,500 girls, training to nearly 4,000 volunteers, and other Girl Scout activities throughout the year. Recognized as the premier leadership opportunity for female ambition in Kentucky, Girl Scouts of Kentucky’s Wilderness Road (GSKWR) serves over 8,000 girls and young women in 66 Kentucky counties and 1 Ohio county. With opportunities around the world, GSKWR advocates creativity and free choice, encouraging girls and young women to explore their passions and cultivate change through a focus on life skills, STEM, entrepreneurship and out-

door experiences. Through corporate partnerships in the State of Kentucky, GSKWR is creating a critical career pipeline of intelligent women leaders.

AMGA’s Acclaim Award honors healthcare delivery organizations that are bringing their organization closer to the ideal medical group and health system by measurably improving the quality and value of care, improving patient experience and outcomes, continuously learning and innovating, and improving population health. “The purpose of the Acclaim Award is to recognize organizations that are leading the U.S. healthcare system in its transition to value-based care,” said John Kennedy, M.D., AMGA chief medical offi cer and AMGA Foundation president. “While AMGA’s recognition of St. Elizabeth Physicians is a validation of its success in becoming a high-performing health system, our validation comes second to the improved patient outcomes and lowered costs St. Elizabeth Physicians has seen as a result of its efforts.” In addition to its ongoing eff orts to promote AMGA’s attributes of a HighPerforming Health System and the quadruple aim, St. Elizabeth Physicians was recognized for the following initiatives: • Development of a comprehensive Opiate Use Disorder/Substance Use Disorder response • Development of a comprehensive ambulatory care management program • Development of a value-based performance department • Development of a focused strategy to improve patient perception of care • Development of a provider incentive plan with a single set of non-specialty specifi c measures “I am so proud of the physicians, providers and associates of St. Elizabeth Physicians for the transformative work they have performed to earn the Acclaim Award,” shared Dr. Robert Prichard, President and Chief Executive Offi cer of St. Elizabeth Physicians. “Receiving this honor is a refl ection of years of creative solutions and hard work now demon-

Sanitizing your laundry Are you wondering whether you can get sick by touching the clothing or bedding of a person who is sick? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, some viruses “may remain viable for hours to days on surfaces made from a variety of materials.” The good news is that normal laundering will clean your clothing and textiles well enough, making them safe to wear or use. However, if you would like to take extra precautions in cleaning clothing and textiles worn or used by someone who has been ill, here are some tips: • Wear disposable gloves when handling laundry that has been exposed to someone who has been ill, or wash your hands after handling the dirty laundry. • Place dirty laundry in a plastic laundry basket that can be cleaned afterward, or line your laundry basket with a disposable trash bag. • You may choose to wash clothing and textiles belonging to a sick person separately from other household laundry. However, with proper handling, you may safely wash those items with other laundry. When combining laundry, read the care label on the item, and take the following steps to sort it for the best results. • Do not “shake” or “snap” your dirty clothes to prevent the dispersion of germs. • Keep similar colors together. • Separate “heavy” clothes such as jeans from “light weight” clothes such as blouses. • For best results, do not wash sheets and towels with clothes, nor with each other. • Wash sheets only with other sheets and towels only with other towels — this is because of their water absorption and the way sheets and towels aﬀ ect the agitation and cleaning of other items included in the load. • Wash excessively dirty or soiled laundry separately — this prevents soil transfer onto cleaner items.

Dr. Robert Prichard, President and Chief Executive Officer of St. Elizabeth Physicians. PROVIDED

• Follow the manufacturer’s directions to measure detergent. • If your washer has a “steam,” “sanitize,” “extra rinse,” or “2nd rinse” cycle, use these for added cleaning. • Use the warmest possible setting that is appropriate for your laundry, and dry thoroughly in your dryer. • You may also add a chlorine bleach to the wash cycle. But check the care labels of your laundry fi rst. The chlorine bleach should have a concentration of sodium hypochlorite between 5.25% and 6.15%. Follow the directions for laundry purposes, and remember never to pour bleach directly onto your clothes or textiles. Oxygen bleaches off er some disinfecting properties but are not as effective as chlorine bleach. Please note that some popular laundry sanitizers only kill bacteria, not viruses. You add them to the fabric softener dispenser or during the rinse cycle, not in the wash cycle with the detergent. • Be aware of laundry sanitizing myths. Distilled white vinegar is a useful multipurpose cleaner and off ers many laundry benefi ts. It removes odors and dissolves detergent residues. However, there is no evidence that vinegar will kill viruses. The same holds true for pine oilbased products. Pine oil products with at least 80% pine oil will help remove some germs from the laundry. But the

The Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce (NKY Chamber) is continuing its push to bring its members pertinent information during a time of great economic uncertainty with its upcoming free Eggs ‘N Issues, “Economic Forecast for Northern Kentucky.” Northern Kentucky’s overall gross domestic product (GDP) and the state’s current employment/unemployment numbers will be among the topics discussed at the upcoming event, taking place from 8 to 9 a.m. Tuesday, April 21, 2020. Janet Harrah, the Senior Director of the Center for Economic Analysis & Development at Northern Kentucky University will be the featured speaker. Other planned topics of discussion for the breakfast-timed virtual event include transportation and logistics, healthcare, restaurants and hospitality. Hailed as one of the most popular Eggs ‘N Issues sessions in the past, NKY Chamber President and CEO Brent Cooper says the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has given this month’s topic extra signifi cance. “Our Eggs ‘N Issues series always brings our members the most current and vital information possible from regional experts that are well-versed in their profession,” Cooper said. “Janet Harrah will provide our members critical insight to help them not only make sense of this unprecedented time, but survive and become stronger once it is over.” The April 21 Eggs ‘N Issues event will be off ered free of charge, as will all NKY Chamber virtual programming for the foreseeable future. With many currently dealing with uncertainty and fi nancial hardships as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the NKY Chamber has extended free programming to ensure valuable information is available to benefi t all its valued members.
