Construction in the 1890s gave local church a strong resemblence to French landmark damaged by ﬁ re Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Diocese of Covington’s Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption was inspired by Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, which was gutted by fi re this week. In the 1890s, the designer of the Diocese of Covington’s cathedral chose to make the front resemble Notre Dame, according to the Northern Kentucky Encyclopedia reference written by local historian Paul Tenkotte. The cathedral in Covington is not an exact replica of Notre Dame. Bishop Roger Foys of the Diocese of Covington issued a statement April 16 about the fi re at Notre Dame. “We join Cardinal Dinardo in off ering prayers for the people of France and for those who have been deeply aff ected by this tragic fi re. Our own cathedral, the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption, is modeled after Notre Dame and so we have a spiritual bond with them.” Covington’s cathedral at 1140 Madison Ave. was fi nished in 1910 after 15 years of construction. By comparison, the larger Notre Dame was fi nished over a nearly 200-year span from 1163 to 1345.

The round central window of Covington’s cathedral, one of the largest in the world, was a replica of the famous circular rose window at Notre Dame, according to an April 9, 1993 article in The Enquirer. Covington’s stained glass circular window is 24 by 67 feet. The exterior of Covington’s cathedral was supposed to mirror the cathedral at Reims, France, said Tenkotte, a history professor at Northern Kentucky University. The cost to modeling the front of the cathedral after Reims’s ornate facade forced architect Leon Coquard to scale back the front of Covington’s church, according to the encyclopedia reference. Notre Dame’s front was picked as the inspiration. Covington’s cathedral drew on multiple gothic inﬂ uences. The interior of Covington’s church was based on the Abbey Church of St. Denis in Paris, according to the encyclopedia. An Enquirer article published June 30, 1910, about the Covington cathedral’s opening called it “A miniature Notre Dame” in an article subhead. “The entire Cathedral is, as it were, a miniature Notre Dame, as the idea of the famous Cathedral has been carried out so completely that one recognizes the resemblance at once,” the 1910 article said. Cincinnati Archbishop Dennis M. Schnurr , who attended Mass at Notre Dame in 2012, issued the following statement April 16 about the aftermath of the ﬁ re at Notre Dame. “Here in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, we join in prayer with the millions of Catholics around the world and especially in the Archdiocese of Paris, asking Our Blessed Mother to guide those who contemplate the future of the Cathedral of Notre Dame. The holy site has been a place of beauty and prayer for millions throughout the centuries. We pray for all those who mourn the devastation to this iconic church and we look in anticipation to Christ’s Resurrection for hope to renew the Cathedral at Notre Dame and the Church.”

The Washington Post's legal team has asked for the dismissal of the $250 million lawsuit fi led against then by Covington Catholic student Nick Sandmann. The motion to dismiss was fi led in federal court on Tuesday, April 9. Nick, a 16-year-old Covington Catholic student, was thrust into the national spotlight when videos of him and his classmates interacting with others outside the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC went viral in January. Nick's legal team fi led a similar lawsuit against CNN and sent dozens of letters requesting national media outlets and public fi gures to preserve evidence for potential lawsuits. In the motion to dismiss, the Washinton Post notes that the label suit only cites early news articles that "included the observations and perspectives of the principal Native American participant in the incident" and others. "It was neither false nor defamatory, however, for the Post to report the comments of eyewitnesses, including the only participants who were speaking publicly about the matter on the day that videos of the event went viral on the internet," the motion said. "Newspapers are often unable to publish a complete account of events when they fi rst come to light. Stories often develop over time, as more witnesses emerge." The motion said that most of the statements that referred to Nick were statements of the subjective feelings and motivation Nathan Phillips, the Native American Elder who is seen in videos with the Covington Catholic students. "That man was entitled to off er his subjective point of view, and the Post had a right to report it—as it had a right to report the initial condemnation of the students’ behavior by the responsible diocesan and school offi cials," the Washington Post said.

Thom Van Benschoten, 72, dies, leaves behind his artwork of the community Melanie Laughman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Our banter was short but most certainly sweet. At one point of each work day at the Community Press & Recorder, I'd run into artist Thom Van Benschoten in the break room. Whenever I saw him, I'd ask, "How are you, Thom?" His deliberately slower reply, "I am well. How are you?" always preceded my similarly intoned, "I am well." We then would crack up at our insistence on being grammatically polite. People who never met Thom might not understand how funny this was. My mentor, Gary Presley, remembered him as the "grumpiest nice guy I ever knew."

Yep. Our curmudgeon was intimidating, until you knew what a big heart he possessed. When I talked to his wife, Linda, last Van week, she said it was a Benschoten. routine they carried over in their home as a couple, much to my delight. She asked him that question Monday, March 25, as he hesitated backing out of a room in his wheelchair. His reply: "I'm OK." In less than a minute, Thom, 72, was gone. His bride, who would have been married to him 50 years June 21, is not really sure what brought about his last moments, though she suspects it was his

heart condition. She is certain he died exactly the way he wanted: At home, peacefully, quickly and without fanfare. Well, we have to give him a little fanfare to make sure this amazing man and his artwork aren't forgotten. Linda said she caught herself turning to tell him about the cincinnati.com gallery, which has been possible thanks to our current and former coworkers who shared the gifts he shared with them. "Thom was the perfect newspaper artist - creative, distinct and expressive while also real and honest," wrote Mark Motz, another coworker. "It was a joy to be in the room when he drew." His work was mostly pen and ink, with some pencil art sprinkled in there, that he drew from photographs. His art, his Linda, his children and their children were the loves of his life. His love for art and Linda blossomed while he attended the William E. Gebhardt Art School. He had started that school at age 13, which was once located on Fifth Street, around where Procter & Gamble's property is now. He met Linda there ﬁ ve years later. A Bishop Brossart High School graduate, Thom took a job at the now-defunct "Images" company after ﬁ nishing art school and eventually settled into a position at Suburban Typographics in 1969. He was with that company until his retirement in 2008, when its name was The Community Press & Recorder.

During his 39 years with the various suburban newspapers, he blessed each of us with a pen-and-ink drawing every Christmas. I have a framed color pencil drawing in my dining room of a tree located on his brother Bob's property in Camp Springs, Kentucky. Besides those gifts, he'd also make special portraits of our coworkers' children or pets as a more personal good-bye when they took new jobs or moved to new cities. As mentioned, he wanted no fanfare when it was his time to leave us. He didn't want services. He just wanted his body donated to the University of Cincinnati.

Caller said he killed his mother. Turns out it was a hoax.

Florence man shot by police last year after he pointed gun at oﬃ cer sentenced to 15 years USA TODAY NETWORK

A Florence man, shot by police after he drew his gun on an Erlanger offi cer, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison. Dexter Helton, 41, pleaded guilty to two counts of wanton endangerment and fl eeing police, according to Erlanger Police. The charges stem from an offi cer-involved shooting in April of last year where Helton pointed a fi rearm at two Erlanger offi cers. The incident occurred April 25, 2018, at Peecox Bar and Grill, located just off 1-71/75 at 635 Donaldson Highway in Erlanger. Erlanger police Sgt. Chad Girdler and Patrolman Greg Pohlman were executing an arrest warrant for Helton. Kentucky State Police said Helton fl ed out of the back door of the bar when offi cers arrived. "As Mr. Helton was fl eeing from offi cers he drew a fi rearm and pointed it at the pursuing

offi cers. This action caused a life-threatening situation for the offi cers involved and they were forced to discharge their fi rearms," a spokesman said at the time. Helton was transported to University of Cincinnati Medical Center in critical condition after the incident. "We want to thank the Kentucky State Police and the Kenton County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Offi ce for their professionalism in regards to this case," Erlanger police said. "We especially want to thank Sgt. Chad Girdler, K9 Asco and Offi cer Greg Pohlman for their valor and heroism they displayed during this incident." Body camera footage shows Helton leaving the back door of Peecox and running as he sees offi cers. The offi cer yells that Helton has a gun, giving chase and telling him to drop his weapon. Helton runs down a set of stairs that appear to lead to a nearby motel and turns to face offi cers. That's when offi cers discharge their weapons.

The call that prompted a SWAT team and 40 offi cers to swarm an Erlanger neighborhood Thursday, April 11 was made by a man who claimed to have killed his mother, offi cials said. It all turned out to be a hoax and a "giant waste of law enforcement resources and taxpayer money," Kenton County Commonwealth Attorney Rob Sanders said. Sanders told The Enquirer Friday, April 12 that the call came into the non-emergency line of the Kenton County dispatch center. The caller claimed to have killed his mother at a specifi c address on Rosary Drive and said he would shoot at any police offi cers that showed up, Sanders said. After the call disconnected, the dispatcher called back. The number's area code, 803, comes from central South Carolina. Eventually, Erlanger police made contact with the homeowner at the address that the caller gave and determined she was safe, Sanders said. Erlanger police are working to determine who made the call. At the time of this report, no arrests had been made. Enquirer media partner Fox19 contributed to this report.

Lawsuit Continued from Page 1A

In the initial lawsuit ﬁ led by Nick's legal team, his attorneys claim that the Post ignored "basic journalist standards" and published defamatory stories about Nick because it wanted to advance its biased agenda against President Donald Trump. "Politics has nothing to do with this case, and law warrants its dismissal," the Post's legal team said. The Post does admit that the articles "may not have been ﬂ attering" of the students, but they don't rise to defamation. The Post said its overall coverage was accurate and "ultimately favorable" to Nick.

How to color Easter eggs naturally Naturally-colored Easter eggs Naturally colored Easter eggs. RITA HEIKENFELD

The methods for producing dyes are pretty much the same, except for beets and turmeric. Here’s a guide: In a saucepan, place as many papery outer skins of yellow or red onions that you have. Cover with up to a couple inches of water. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer and cook until onion skins have colored the water, about 10 minutes. Use this same method for red cabbage ( just chunk it up]. Strain. For every cup of liquid, add a teaspoon or so of clear vinegar. Put boiled eggs in. You’ll get various degrees of color depending upon how long the eggs sit in the dye. Yellow onion skins produce eggs that are amber to dark orange. Red onion skins produce eggs that are brick/brownish red.

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

Those of you who have read this column for a while know that coloring eggs naturally is something we’ve done for years in our family. And I’m happy to see more of you “coming into the fold,” requesting recipes for coloring eggs with natural dyes. So as promised, here again are recipes that I hope will become traditions in your family. Some dyes use ingredients you most likely already have. They don’t take long to make, so can be done the day before Easter if necessary. During Lent I save my yel-

low and red onion skins in my old hand-carved wooden salad bowls. These will be the bases for beautiful, natural colored eggs. Along with the onion skins I use red cabbage, turmeric, and beet juice. I always let the little ones help. They watch in awe as they learn their ﬁ rst lessons in food chemistry. Depending on the dye, colors range from amber to brick red to teal blue and even sun gold yellow and the palest pink. I have my parents, Mary and Charlie Nader, to thank for making us such “green advocates.” Mom colored some of our eggs with onion skins. More than just coloring, my Dad would remind us they were a way of passing down a humble history.

Clarifi cation Zip’s Chili/Main Street Cafe Although both of these Cincinnati suburban restaurants exude a “welcome to the family” atmosphere, they are separately owned. Dave Murrie is the owner of Main Street Cafe. Mike Burke is the owner of Zip’s Cafe. He purchased Zip’s from Brian Murrie more than four years ago and has been employed at Zip’s, on and off , since he was 15. As far as a defi nitive answer for the origin of the Zip’s recipe, Mike said “we aren’t sure where it actually came from.” Like all heirloom recipes, the original recipe has been tweaked through the years making it the iconic, unique recipe you enjoy today.

Beet juice turns the eggs pale pink. I just strain out the juice from canned beets and use that. Easy peasy! Red cabbage is the winner: It makes beautiful teal to dark blue eggs but these take the longest time so you may want to put them in the refrigerator until they turn the shade you like.

Turmeric colored eggs require a different method: Stir 3 tablespoons turmeric in 2 cups water in saucepan. Bring to boil. Remove, let cool but don’t strain. Add 2 teaspoons or so of clear vinegar. Place boiled eggs in dye, stirring to coat. When you remove the eggs, gently run them very quickly under running water to remove spice particles. Turmeric makes the eggs brilliant yellow.

Lavender eggs made with grape juice Stir in 1 tablespoon vinegar to each cup of grape juice. Tie dyed and marble eggs Check them out at abouteating.com.

Libby’s Southern Comfort could have the best fried chicken in town Polly Campbell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Eating for comfort can look like a lot of things, deﬁ ned by personal experience. Southern American food includes a wide menu of foods and cooking techniques. But when food is described as both comfort and Southern, you can expect it means fried. Crunchy crusts hiding moist interiors if all goes well. Simple ingredients transformed and enriched by a dunk in hot oil. That’s what Southern comfort is at Libby’s Southern Comfort, which has just joined the busy restaurant community of Covington. It’s owned by Brad and Michelle Wainscott. He’s from a restaurant family: his father owns the Greyhound Tavern and he worked for his sister and brother-in-law at the Merrick Inn in Lexington. He’s taken an old building on Eighth Street and transformed it into a delightful space, full of large windows. The interior keeps a weathered historic look, decorated with casual Southern artifacts. There’s a garage door to the street, an in-progress patio and (note well) a parking lot. Fried chicken is the thing here. The short, well-focused menu is built around it, with sides, a few appetizers, some salads, meatloaf and sandwiches. And there’s one new invention completely appropriate to Covington. We got the goetta hushpuppies to go with drinks. I approve of new uses of goetta, but to me, the appeal of goetta is its panfried texture. Mixed into a hushpuppy, the whole thing has a crispy outside, but not enough of the goetta itself is crisp to make them work for me. I liked the drinks, though. I had a frozé, partly because I like saying it. There’s a delicious

Cheerwine bourbon slushie. (Cheerwine is a cherry-fl avored soda from North Carolina.) We moved on to a couple more fried starters. The fried green tomatoes were excellent, with a paper-thin crisp coating. Fried chicken skins were intense. Like muffi n tops or burnt ends, this is a dish that takes the most delicious bit of one kind of food and gives it its own place to shine. These look like fried coating with nothing inside, but the skin has a crisp, rendered crackling taste. Share them: one of them packs plenty of fl avor. Then the main event: the fried chicken. That’s the reason to come here. You can get a two-piece order, a half bird or whole bird. It easily passes the main tests for fried chicken in my mind: the white meat is juicy and tender, the coating is crisp and crunchy but doesn’t encase the whole piece in hard armor, and it’s rich but not greasy. (You don’t get any of those pockets of extra grease hidden in some fried chicken.) There are a handful of local eateries that could claim “best fried chicken” in town. Libby’s joins them. Side dishes include mac and cheese, with a nice crisp bread crumb coating, tender and long-cooked green beans, and unusual half-moon-shaped fries. The Charlie Brown is basically a hot brown: an open-faced sandwich with turkey and ham and cheese and bacon with mornay sauce generously ladled over it all. It’s not fried, but it’s one of those dishes that tastes rich and therefore delicious for the fi rst fi ve or six bites, then you realize there is no way in tarnation you could eat it all. Especially after fried green tomatoes. If I’d been eating as a layperson, I

would have probably gotten a salad for an entree, maybe the Michelle my Belle, with pears and goat cheese. I could have put some chicken or fried oysters on it. But I thought it was more important to try their shrimp and grits, a low-country dish that has become a must for any Southern restaurant. The server asked if I wanted the appetizer or entree, and I was happy to go with the smaller. Five blackened shrimp, very creamy grits, with its own fried topping: crunchy onions. In the top half of the pack as far as local shrimp and grits. The oyster po’ boy, another fried entree, satisﬁ ed my husband’s love for this sandwich.

spicy tartar sauce, tomatoes and pickles. But you can pick up the whole thing, and the bread doesn’t overwhelm the crisp-fried oysters. An apple bread pudding with bourbon sauce was the ﬁ nal, delicious and Southern ﬁ nale to the meal.

Sports Northern Kentucky Norse begin national search for new basketball coach Dave Clark Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Northern Kentucky University sent a release within minutes of the Cincinnati Bearcats' conﬁ rmation that Norse head coach John Brannen was headed to UC: The Norse will commence a national search for the sixth men's basketball head coach in school history. From NKU Communications and Media Services: “I, along with NKU and the Northern Kentucky Community, am extremely thankful of John’s accomplishments as our head men’s basketball coach the last four years,” said Ken Bothof, Director of Athletics. “We wish John, Lisa, Jaylee and Katelyn nothing but the best as John transitions to head coach at UC.” “Coach Brannen has been a terriﬁ c

ambassador for Northern Kentucky University during his four years as our head coach,” stated Northern Kentucky University President Ashish Vaidya. “We are grateful for what he has done to build the Norse men’s basketball brand into a premier program in the Horizon League and wish both John and his family well in this next endeavor. Norse men’s basketball is positioned to continue its remarkable success and showcase this great university.” “During my tenure as athletic director at Northern Kentucky University, sustained support from the community has allowed us to invest in our men’s basketball program and will allow future enhancements,” continued Bothof. “Those investments, both past and future, along with the unprecedented success our program has had the last three

Morgan, on the other hand, is tied for sixth in the state with her lone save this season.

Campbell County is leading the 10th Region with a record of 10-1 this season. The pitching prowess of Jessica Walsh is a big reason for that success.

A healthy smile for babies is part of a healthy start The first smile is a milestone that can warm your heart. After many long and often sleep-deprived nights, suddenly your baby turns to you and grins.

O’dell M. Owens, MD, MPH President & CEO

But a baby’s smile is so much more—it has an important role in his or her lifelong health. Baby teeth are vital for chewing foods and speech. They prepare the mouth and jaw for permanent teeth as well. Tooth decay is one of the most common chronic diseases among children today—the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that about 1 in 5 kids ages 5 to 11 have untreated tooth decay.Yet we know that proper oral health early in a child’s life can also reduce problems later on. What parents and caregivers can do: • Clean your baby’s mouth after feedings—even before the first teeth come in. Wipe the gums with a soft, clean cloth. • Once baby’s teeth come in, brush them with a small amount of fluoride toothpaste on a small, soft-bristled brush. brush All children should be br brushing teeth for two minutes, two times per day. •Don’t put babies to sleep with b bottles of formula or sugary drinks, as this can lead to to ooth decay. Wait until baby is 1 year old before serving juice.

The state where millennial unemployment is highest is Mississippi. ❚ North Dakota has the lowest millennial unemployment rate, 3.66%, which is 3.7 times lower than in Mississippi, the highest at 13.65%.
