Northern Kentucky CAC provides assistance The Cincinnati Enquirer

The Northern Kentucky Community Action Commission has been assisting families in Northern Kentucky who have been impacted ﬁ nancially by the novel coronavirus pandemic. So far, the NKCAC has distributed more than 1,100 food boxes in the past three weeks and have provided more than 800 families with rental and emergency assistance.

With the extension of the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Crisis Program, almost 2,000 families have received home utility assistance since March 30. A recent $25,000 grant from The Greater Cincinnati Foundation and United Way of Greater Cincinnati’s COVID-19 Relief Fund will provide additional funds to aid families in the upcoming weeks. “We greatly appreciate the partner-

Shirley Tennenbaum Bernstein who, along with her husband Ben, created one of the most inﬂ uential and successful hospitality businesses in Greater Cincinnati, has died at her home in East Walnut Hills. She was 97. The Bernsteins opened the inﬂ uential international restaurant El Greco, owned the Mike Fink riverboat restaurant for many years, put riverboats back on the river, and were involved in the development of the Covington riverfront in the ‘80s and ‘90s. Bernstein “To call my mother a great lady isn’t quite enough,” said her son Alan Bernstein, who now runs BB Riverboats. “There were two things my parents did that made them successful: They had personality, and they always strove for perfectionism. Oh, and a third. They knew how to work hard.”

Bernstein was born in Cincinnati in 1923 to Mose and Hattie Tennenbaum, and grew up in North Avondale. “They were a big Cincinnati family, her father knew everyone,” said Alan. “They were reﬁ ned, the kind of people who dressed for dinner, wore white gloves. Mom was like that all her life. She dressed impeccably, her nails, her shoes always perfect. She was very beautiful. I never saw her underdressed.” She and Ben Bernstein met at Walnut Hills High School and dated at the University of Cincinnati. They married in 1943, just before he joined the Army. They had three children, and he ran a family business until 1964 when the family did something quite unexpected. Ben was appointed to a position with the U.S. Agency for International Development in Ecuador, and the family moved to Quito. One of his duties was supervising the ﬁ rst class of Peace Corps volunteers who were helping Ecuadorean artisans become economically self-reliant.

The Oriental Wok has been in business since 1977. It is one of several Fort Mitchell small businesses that were awarded $2,500 grants in response to COVID-19 ﬁ nancial impacts.

Shirley Bernstein’s son

At their home in Quito, Shirley entertained visiting dignitaries and diplomats, something at which she was a natural. After four years in South America, they came back to Cincinnati and decided to open a restaurant, El Greco in Southgate, Kentucky. They ran it on the same principles of hospitality she brought to diplomatic entertaining. “My parents lived at the restaurant. They treated everyone like See BERNSTEIN, Page 2A

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.

they were coming to their home,” said Alan. “They didn’t really have a big social life. Their friends came to the restaurant to see them.” One of their fun, cheeky ads for the restaurant said: “If Ben and Shirley Bernstein didn’t like parties, they never would have made El Greco one of Greater Cincinnati’s ﬁ nest restaurants.” Shirley loved all kinds of cooking, said Alan, enjoyed food from all over the world. That eclecticism was reﬂ ected in the wide menu at El Greco that included French fondue Italian pastas and Ecuadorian ceviche. It took some time, but they made El Greco a destination restaurant. “It was a

very forward-thinking restaurant,” said her grandson Brad Bernstein, who owns Red Feather Kitchen in Oakley. “They embraced global cuisine before that was common.” “My parents had a very progressive marriage,” said Alan, who joined the business with them when he was 21. “Dad was the business guy, Mom was operations: the food, the service, the decor, everything.” Alan remembers his mother as generous, an easy hit for a loan if you really needed it. “My parents were taskmasters, but they also would help anyone. They treated employees like family. We had employees who worked for us for 30 years after we gave them a second chance; after they got out of jail or something like that.” “She did not have an enemy. If you were mad at my mother, there was

something wrong with you,” said Alan. She was also “vigorously honest,” according to Brad. “She didn’t hesitate to say what she thought. But she appreciated what you did.” The Bernsteins’ operation became very successful. They bought a riverboat that was about to be sold to someone who wanted to take it to New Orleans, towed it across the river and opened it as the Mike Fink in 1977. That got them interested in riverboats for excursions, and they created BB Riverboats. Then they were invested in the Covington riverfront with Crockett’s River Cafe, and Covington Landing. They also owned several Chuck E. Cheese locations and two restaurants next to each other on Vine Street, Benjamin’s and Shirley’s, and ran Bensons Catering, now Current Catering. Ben Bernstein died in 1992, and by

“Fort Mitchell has been Tri-ED’s home for many years and we want to support our communities in Northern Kentucky as they launch innovative ways to provide ﬁ nancial relief to their small businesses,” Lee Crume, President and CEO of Tri-ED, said in the release. “We support Fort Mitchell and want to make sure as many businesses as possible in Northern Kentucky make it through these tough times.” The following businesses will be receiving $2,500 grants in the mail: ❚ Access Chiropractic ❚ A Healing Touch Medical Massage ❚ Art Floral LLC ❚ Asian Place ❚ Better Bodies Inc. ❚ Biggby Coﬀ ee ❚ Blincoe Family Dentistry ❚ BomDia Massage & Wellness ❚ Bunches of Bows ❚ Braxton Brewing Company ❚ The Christian Store ❚ Coveted Closet Boutique ❚ Cummings Dentistry ❚ Dairy Queen ❚ Elmer T.

Stephens Cabinetry & Design ❚ Zoe Grace Salon Tri-ED administered the grants in order for the money to be distributed more quickly, the release states. Tri-ED is the primary economic development entity for the Northern Kentucky counties of Boone, Campbell and Kenton. “Our goal with the grant program is to help our small businesses stay in business by getting them these funds quickly,” Fort Mitchell Mayor Jude Hehman

said in the release. “We hope these grants will help businesses re-open and retain their employees as we begin the new phase of ‘Healthy at Work’ following the state’s guidelines.” Kentucky’s “Healthy at Work” initiative was recently announced by Gov. Andy Beshear. The initiative off ers a phased approach to reopening Kentucky’s economy, offi cials said. It is based on criteria set by public health experts and advice from industry experts. “Doing this right is about safety. That’s our No. 1 concern,” Beshear said. “It’s also the right thing for the economy. Avoiding a second spike will restore our economy faster.” It is not clear when things will go “back to normal” – and as far as Beshear is concerned, “normal” will be redefi ned after the pandemic subsides. He says we will have to adapt to a “new normal” and that regular business operations will drastically change. In the meantime, local businesses are struggling to stay afl oat.

then, their two sons, Jimmy and Alan, had taken over much of the business. Jimmy went on to open Howl at the Moon saloons around the country. In later years, Shirley lived next door to her grandson Brad and her greatgrandchildren. “She was my best friend, the most important inﬂ uence in my life. My kids grew up under her wing.” “If she’d had a chance to change anything about her life, I don’t think she would have,” said Alan. She is survived by her sons Jimmy Bernstein and Alan Bernstein and her daughter Linda Peroﬀ , by seven grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren. There will be no public funeral service, but the family asks that any memorial donations be made to Hospice of Cincinnati, SPCA of Cincinnati or the Kentucky Restaurant Association.

“We’re so appreciative of this grant from the City of Fort Mitchell. It will help us pay overhead and expenses since we’ve been closed and had no revenue coming in for several weeks,” Ted Herzog of Herzog Jewelers said after receiving the $2,500 grant. “Every bit of funding is meaningful in these diﬃ cult times.”

US News rankings: See which Cincy, NKY schools are the best Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The rankings are in and Greater Cincinnati continues to have some of the best schools around. Annually, the U.S. News Best High Schools rankings include data on more than 24,000 public high schools in 50 states and the District of Columbia. The

rankings came out this week and include some familiar names in Greater Cincinnati. In Ohio and Kentucky's top 30 schools, there are 12 Greater Cincinnati schools that made the list. In both states, local schools were named the second-best school in the state by U.S. News & World Report. "Nearly 18,000 schools were ranked on six factors based on

their performance on state assessments and how well they prepare students for college," U.S. News said. According to the study, schools are evaluated on six factors: college readiness, reading and math proﬁ ciency, reading and math performance, underserved student performance, college curriculum breadth and graduation rates.

Here are the top-ranked Greater Cincinnati schools: Ohio No. 2: Walnut Hills High School No. 5: Indian Hill High School No. 6: Wyoming High School No. 8: Mariemont High School No. 10: William Mason High School

No. 14: Turpin High School No. 28: Sycamore High School Kentucky No. 2 Highlands High School No. 3 Beechwood High School No. 18: Larry A Ryle. High School No. 22: Campbell County High School No. 26: Dixie Heights High School

These famous people went to high school in Greater Cincinnati Briana Rice

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Cincinnati has had a lot of famous high schoolers over the years. Students who would go on to become pro football players, World Cup winners, actors, baseball players and singers walked the halls of area schools before fi nding fame. Here are some of the famous people who went to high school in Cincinnati: Andy Williams, a six-time Grammy nominated singer, attended Western Hills High School for ninth and tenth grade from 1941-1942. In 2000, Larry Nager interviewed Williams for the Cincinnati Enquirer. Williams reminisced about West Hi, saying, “They were the best years of my life. There were fraternities and sororities in high school. We had a handshake and a clubhouse. And football was great and the girls were great, and I was discovering both.” He would eventually have his own show, “The Andy Williams Show.” Barry Larkin graduated from Moeller in 1982, where he played baseball, basketball and football. Larkin was selected for the 1985 Reds draft.

Jerry Rubin graduated from Walnut Hills High School in 1956, where he edited the school newspaper, the Chatterbox. He helped found the Youth International Party, known as Yippies, in the 1960s, and was among the demonstrators known as the Chicago Eight charged with conspiracy to incite the riots that disrupted the 1968 Democratic National Convention. Theda Bara, born Theodosia Goodman, graduated from Walnut Hills High School in 1903 before becoming a silent fi lm star. She was cast as the lead in “A Fool There Was” (1915), portraying a seductress who would popularize the term “vamp.” To make her seem exotic, Fox studio claimed she was born “in the shadow of the Sphinx” in Egypt to an Italian father and French actress mother.

Ruth Lyons, a 1923 graduate of Withrow High School, was a television talk show pioneer as host of “The 50-50 Club” every weekday at noon on WLWT-TV in the 1950s and ’60s. Kyle Rudolph, a 2008 Elder grad, is now a tight end for the Minnesota Vikings. He was the Minnesota Vikings nominee for the 2017 and 2018 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award.

Sarah Jessica Parker attended the School for Creative and Performing Arts. The actress would later star in several TV shows and movies including her role as Carrie Bradshaw in “Sex and the City.” Nick Lachey, a 1992 graduate of the School for Creative and Performing Arts, was part of the band 98 Degrees in the 1990s. He was recently the host of the Netﬂ ix series, “Love Is Blind.” William Howard Taft graduated from Woodward High School in 1874.

chine in the 1970s and set the all-time record for hits in 1985. Rosemary Clooney attended four Cincinnati high schools: Hughes, Withrow, Our Lady of Mercy academy and Western Hills.

One place there’s no worry about social distancing during these challenging times is when my friends, Charlene and Butch Castle and I go foraging for wild morel mushrooms. We start out at the bottom of our “secret” wooded hill. We start out at the bottom of the hill. By the time we reach the top of the hill we have kept our distances naturally – in fact, sometimes it’s hard to catch up. And we check for mushrooms along the way. After a recent hunt, we left empty handed. “A little too early,” Butch said. Charlene noted that the Mayapples and trillium were not yet blooming, another sign that we were a bit early. That was last week. Today I got a note from friend and chef Chris H., who found

That means one thing: I need to ﬁ nish this column so I can call my friends Char and Butch to let them know it’s time… Well, all this talk about morels had me hungry for something, anything with mushrooms. The “something” turned out to be a really yummy pasta dish calling for a blend of wild mushrooms. Nothing like that at my house (at least now) but I had some common, button mushrooms in the refrigerator. Just enough to lend an earthy, ﬂ avorful taste

to this pasta. This recipe originally called for 12 ounces to a pound of pasta. All I had was half a pound. I also didn’t have many mushrooms, but it turned out really saucy and good.

❚ Morels grow in the spring. Expensive to buy, a prized wild edible. ❚ A true morel has a cone-shaped cap and sponge-like texture. The cap is ridged and pitted inwards. The cap will be connected to the stem all in one piece. ❚ It’s totally hollow inside from the tip of the cap to the bottom of the stem. It sort of looks like a “morel mold.” ❚ Make sure you have a positive identiﬁ cation. For your ﬁ rst ventures, tag along with an expert. ❚ Not sure? Don’t pick/use. (There is a non-edible morel). ❚ For information and a photo tutorial, check out my abouteating.com site.

While pasta is cooking, make sauce: Heat olive oil and add mushrooms, garlic and half the chicken broth. Cook until mushrooms start to wilt, then add everything else but rest of broth, cheese and parsley. After mushrooms are cooked, add rest of broth and cook until mixture thickens a little. Stir in cream if you’re using it, cook a bit more, then adjust seasonings. Pour over pasta, give it a good shower of cheese, and a sprinkle of parsley or greens. Tips: No red pepper? Use whatever you have.

Sports KHSAA cancels spring sports, Sweet 16 basketball James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

With Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear’s recommendation April 20 to close of all K-12 schools to in-person instruction for the remainder of the school year, the Kentucky High School Athletic Association Board of Control voted unanimously to not resume 2020 state basketball tournaments. The board also approved the cancellation of all regular-season practices and contests as well as all postseason tournament championship events for all spring sports and sport-activities for the 2019-20 school year. Besides the Ryle girls basketball and Covington Catholic boys basketball

teams, this ruling aff ects the archery, bass fi shing, Esports, baseball, softball, tennis, and track and fi eld spring seasons. KHSAA member school also will continue all coronavirus dead-period provisions until further notice. “We have until this point purposely taken a measured approach to the resumption of our basketball events and consideration of the ending of the spring seasons for sports and sport-activities,” KHSAA Commissioner Julian Tackett said. “We have accepted continual guidance from a variety of sources, and have steadfastly held on to hope that the great student-athletes who represent their schools through a varie-

April 21 was a very diffi cult day for Jake Balsley. Within the span of a few hours, the Scott High School senior found out his 2020 baseball season wouldn’t happen after the Kentucky High School Athletic Association canceled the spring sports season because of the novel coronavirus pandemic. Then he found out he would have to fi nd a new place to play college baseball after Urbana University announced it would permanently close its campus, partially because of the pandemic. Balsley is one of dozens of Greater Cincinnati high school products who will have to fi nd a new place to continue their sports careers in addition to their studies. Urbana is an NCAA Division II school located in Ohio about 90 minutes north of Cincinnati near Springfi eld. In addition to high school seniors who had committed to the school, at least 35 local graduates had played for sports programs at Urbana during the current school year and were set to either return next year, or were seniors who had just started new seasons this spring. The NCAA canceled all spring sports programs in March because of the novel coronavirus. “For a kid like Jake, he knows if he loses this season, he has an opportunity at Urbana,” Scott head baseball coach Kevin Goins said. “(Tuesday) was a whirlwind for him.” Balsley and other aff ected Urbana athletes immediately took to social media to promote themselves and try to fi nd a new place to play. Goins said he made multiple calls to coaches on Balsley’s behalf and his senior has quickly drawn a lot of interest. Cincinnati Christian University shut down in October, 2019, putting many locals in a similar predicament. “There were a couple of kids I coached in summer ball that went to Cincinnati Christian,” Goins said. “Those two guys were in mid-semester when they found out the doors were shut. I told Jake at least you’re not leaving for Urbana tomorrow. It’s hard to get that across to a 17- or 18-year old that the sky’s not falling, but he’s adjusting to it.” Balsley, a right-handed pitcher and third baseman, was a big key for Scott last year. He pitched a complete game to defeat rival Campbell County in the 37th District championship game and was set to have a big 2020 for the Eagles. “He’s a kid you could count on every day,” Goins said. “He wanted the baseball in his hand, and he proved that in

Gabbie Marshall of Mount Notre Dame calls a play against Pickerington Central in the OHSAA Division I Championship at the Shottenstein Center in Columbus, OH, Saturday, March 16, 2019. MICHAEL NOYES FOR THE ENQUIRER

High school basketball teams of the decade Here’s who the fans chose as the top boys, girls high school basketball teams since 2010 Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Cincinnati Enquirer decided to have its own virtual March Madness after high school basketball tournaments were cut short due to the novel coronavirus. Since March 24, fans have been voting on the top girls and boys basketball teams from Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky since 2010. Here are the winners:

Ohio boys: 2019 Moeller The 2019 Moeller boys basketball team had to overcome some friendly fi re in the 16-team bracket, knocking out the 2010 Crusaders (Division I state runner-up) in the fi rst round and the 2018 state-champion squad in the semifi nals. In 2019, The Crusaders capped off a

perfect season (29-0) with their second consecutive Division I state championship. Moeller had just three games decided by single digits, including a 52-44 victory over Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary’s in the state title game. Moeller was led by Miles McBride (now at West Virginia University), who averaged 13.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game. Alec Pfriem (now at Bellarmine University), was the team’s leading scorer (14.1) and rebounder (5.9). Moeller’s unblemished run marked Ohio’s ﬁ rst undefeated Division I state-champion since 1995. Runner-up: 2018 Deer Park

Ohio girls: 2019 Mount Notre Dame The 2019 Cougars had to take down three teams from this past season — Mount Notre Dame, Cincinnati Country Day and Roger Bacon — to become the top Cincinnati girls club since 2010. Also in the way was the 2017 team that also won a Division I championship. Dr. Scott Rogers’ second state titlewinning team in three seasons featured four all-district players. Senior Gabbie Marshall (now at Iowa University) aver-

aged 13.9 points per game and was named the Girls Greater Catholic League Player of the Year. Freshman K.K. Bransford led the conference in scoring and was named honorable mention All-Ohio. Juniors Laila Phelia and Mikara Cook rounded out the starting fi ve, along with senior Julia Hoefl ing (now at Loyola). Mount Notre Dame lost just two regular-season games, the fi nal one to Centerville by 14 points. The Cougars would get their revenge against the Elks in the regional fi nal, winning 70-63 behind Hoefl ing’s game-high 23 points. In the state tournament, Mount Notre Dame held its two opponents, Canton GlenOak and Pickerington Central, to just 28-for-98 combined shooting to claim the program’s seventh state title, tied for the most in OHSAA history. Runner-up: 2020 Roger Bacon

Florence Aquatic Center closed for all of 2020 season Memorial Day Parade also canceled

Florence’s Aquatic Center will not open in 2020 due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, city offi cials announced. City offi cials said even with phase-in benchmarks lifting some of the restrictions that are currently in place, “it is clear that social distancing guidelines will most likely be applied to large public gatherings throughout the summer.” “The Aquatic Center is one of our fl agship parks, and our residents and visitors love it; however, we are taking

every precaution necessary to limit exposure and lessen the potential spreading of COVID-19,” Mayor Diane Whalen said. “As much as we want to get back to normality, it will have to wait, unfortunately. The safety of our residents and visitors comes fi rst, always.” Offi cials said hiring adequate staff for the facility would be a challenge with a shortened pool season. If you see the pool fi lled, don’t get your hopes up, it will still be necessary to fi ll the pool to protect the pool liner and pump equipment. Anyone who purchased a 2020 season pass to the Aquatic Center will be contacted about receiving a refund or transferring that to the 2021 season.

the district fi nal against Campbell County. We had the lead in the seventh inning, and he was at 100 pitches, and he said ‘Coach, I’m fi nishing this.’ He wanted to be a part of something special and it turned out to be. He was a guy we were going to lean on heavily this season.” The Urbana baseball team had 12 local graduates on the roster this year. The head coach is Jake Oester, a Cincinnati native and McNicholas High School graduate who is the son of former Cincinnati Reds player Ron Oester. In the team’s last game of the 2020 season, a 1-0 win at Division I school Akron March 11, Newport Central Catholic graduate Ian Meyer pitched seven shutout innings, and Colerain graduate Marcel Toney provided the only run with a home run in the ninth inning. Chris Carney, a senior from Anderson High School, was the team’s leading hitter in 2019 (.371) and a second-team all-conference selection in the Mountain East Conference (MEC). Tyler Dellerman, a St. Xavier graduate, was second on the team in hitting and RBI last year, while hitting a team-high nine home runs and earning MEC freshman of the year honors. Monroe High School softball pitcher Alyssa Wagner also had both her fi nal prep season and college team wiped out in the same week. Wagner, the reigning Southwestern Buckeye League pitcher of the year, was 19-2 with a 0.78 ERA and a league-leading 275 strikeouts last season, leading the Hornets to a division championship and a 19-4 record. Wagner committed to Urbana prior to her junior season. 13 months later, she's looking for a new program to call home. Urbana juniors Izzy Helm and Britney Bonno are both Cincinnati products. Helm, a pitcher from Turpin, started 21 games in the circle over the past two seasons. Bonno, a fi rst-team GGCL selection at McAuley in 2017, hit .294 with 42 hits last season. Outfi elder Kaelyn Stenger hit .500 with 18 extra-base hits and 29 RBI last season to lead Little Miami to its fi rst Southwestern Ohio Conference title. She started her collegiate career at Urbana 3-for-15 at the plate before the university closed. The volleyball program at Urbana was led by two Cincinnati alumni. Sophomore Lexi Reinert out of Ursuline Academy has been a leader in kills the past two seasons. Courtney Niesen, a junior out of Roger Bacon, is a three-year starter at libero with 1,625 career digs. She was one of 22 individuals honored as a Division II Academic All-American. She was fi rst-team all-MEC and honorable mention all-region last fall, helping Urbana to the conference tournament fi nal for the fi rst time in team history. Tyra James out of Winton Woods was a senior this past season for the women’s basketball program, and was the MEC Player of the Year averaging 24 points per game for the Blue Knights, who fi nished 17-12.

ty of teams would have an opportunity to compete this season. “This is without question the most challenging period I have seen or faced in thirty-six years in this oﬃ ce. This impacts so many people, but in the end, is in the best interest of public health. We have been especially concerned with the graduating class of 2020, those seniors who put so much into their athletic participation opportunities hoping for one last time to shine before the home crowds or at postseason events. We know for the vast majority of them, their future plans are already laid out,

Memorial Day Parade also canceled Offi cials also announced the cancelation of the annual Florence Memorial Day Parade and Ceremony. “The City has hosted this parade for more than 20 years and strongly supports the honoring of our military personnel who have made the ultimate sacrifi ce for our country. Since concerns will remain regarding large public gatherings and the spread of the Coronavirus, we want everyone to stay safe apart while we wait to fi nd our place in the post-COVID-19 era,” Whalen said.

with college and career ﬁ nal preparation as their next chapter. In the end, however, the health and safety of all individuals, participants, coaches, and spectators, is much more important than the various interscholastic activities.” Tackett said in a release that this has been the most challenging period of his career. “Nothing in mine, or frankly, anyone else’s professional career completely prepared me for this situation since mid-March and the related subsequent decisions,” Tackett said. “That was probably the hardest thing to deal with. These kids don’t get a chance to ﬁ nish, especially the seniors, and it is as though they were robbed by an invisible enemy. It is sometimes a little easier in

life when there is someone to blame. With this, however, there isn’t. We are all together fi ghting the same enemy with the same desired outcome.” The board and staff will continue discussions over the coming weeks to attempt to address issues related to the fall season. “It is far too early in this process and battle against this virus to place an absolute planned schedule or dates out there,” Tackett said. “We remain optimistic about the fall season, even if it isn’t exactly per normal, but we will adhere to the guidance of both federal and state health offi cials, as well as our own Department of Education and the governor’s offi ce in planning our next steps in the coming weeks and months.”

runner-up (2017 Cooper) and a state champion (2018 Covington Catholic) to become Northern Kentucky’s team of the decade. No one will forget the miracle run of the Eagles anytime soon. Led by senior Jake Ohmer, the Eagles rode to the state semiﬁ nals, where they lost by one point to eventual champion Bowling Green. Ohmer, who averaged 28 points per game, averaged 35 points per game in the regional and state tournaments.

He scored 104 in three Sweet 16 games. He set up that run with an oﬀ balance 3-pointer at the buzzer to defeat Campbell County in the 10th Region ﬁ nal and had a 46-point game earlier in the tournament. The Eagles had a deep group of contributors including Chad Ohmer, Vincent Dumlao, Nelson Perrin and Tim Jolley. Runner-up: 2017 Cooper

The Raiders were led by three future Division I players: senior Lauren Schwartz (Rice freshman this season), junior Maddie Scherr (Oregon signee) and sophomore Brie Crittendon (multiple oﬀ ers).

COMMUNITY NEWS Letter to the editor: COVID19 and vulnerable populations with Alzheimer’s The COVID-19 pandemic presents specifi c challenges for more than 5 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s, their caregivers and the nonprofi ts serving these vulnerable populations. As a current co-caregiver for my dad, I’m writing today to urge Congressman Massie to include the critical needs of people living with dementia and their caregivers in the next legislative stimulus package. Two critical issues include: The Promoting Alzheimer’s Awareness to Prevent Elder Abuse Act, which would require the DOJ to develop materials covering best practices to assist professionals who support victims of abuse living with dementia. The Improving HOPE for Alzheimer’s Act would increase the use of the care planning benefi t in order to help more families by educating clinicians on care planning services available through Medicare. Finally, during this crisis nonprofi ts are providing tremendous support to the communities they serve, despite facing economic hardships. Congress must establish an exclusive fund to support nonprofi ts with between 500 to 10,000 employees, including loan forgiveness to ensure charities like the Alzheimer’s Association can continue to eff ectively serve the communities that depend on them. I humbly ask my Representative Thomas Massie to make sure these three bipartisan measures are included in the next COVID-19 response legislation to help vulnerable populations living with Alzheimer’s and dementia. Terri Burke, Alzheimer’s Association

NKY Chamber now accepting nominations for upcoming Leadership Northern Kentucky Class The Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce’s Leadership NKY program is now accepting nominations for the Leadership NKY Class of 2021, the program’s 42nd class. A nine-month program designed to help develop business and community leaders, Leadership NKY uses the community as a classroom to help participants gain an understanding of the strengths and challenges of the Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati area and the skills necessary to motivate and engage others in collaborative eﬀ orts to address them. “I am grateful for the Leadership Northern Kentucky program and how it has impacted my life,” said Kim Harp, Business Retention & Expansion Manager at REDI Cincinnati. “Inspiration was a huge theme throughout my class experience; after every class session I was inspired to get involved and to share with others. Leadership NKY ignites you to do something to be a community advocate; to lead eﬀ orts for change. This program is a unique platform to build strong relationships with classmates and the Leadership NKY network. There is a reason why so many leaders choose to stay engaged after they go through the program.” Leadership NKY participants are selected from a variety of job sectors and civic interests, and provided substantive education by industry leaders across a diverse range of topics, including economic develop-

ers to print use by dates, sell by dates, and best by dates on food labels. The only exception is infant formula, which must have a “Use by” date based on nutrient content testing. Manufacturers voluntarily print these dates on packages of other foods because consumers want to see them. They are freshness and quality dates, not food safety dates. The Food and Drug Administration supports “Best if Used By” dates, which indicate the date the food will retain top quality and fl avor. It is a freshness date. The food is not necessarily spoiled or unsafe after this date but may have lost some of its freshness and nutritional value. Packaged foods like cereals, snack foods, canned foods, and frozen entrees often have “Use By” or “Best By” dates. You may safely eat foods after these dates if they show no signs of spoilage and you have stored, handled, and prepared them properly. A “Sell by” date indicates the last recommended day of sale. Fresh meats, dairy products, and breads often have sell by dates. Retail stores should pull products after the sell by date; however, it is legal to sell food after this date. Most food is safe to eat after the sell by date as long as there are no signs of spoilage and the food has been stored, handled, and prepared properly. You should cook fresh meat, fi sh, and poultry within one to two days after you buy and refrigerate it. You could also freeze the product because once frozen, the date doesn’t matter. The UK Cooperative Extension offi ce has a publication for your use on recommended storage dates for refrigerated, frozen, and canned foods: http://www2.ca.uky.edu/agcomm/pubs/FCS3/ FCS3595/FCS3595.pdf Kathy Byrnes, Kenton County Cooperative Extension Service

How to order groceries online in Greater Cincinnati Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Are you running low on groceries but don't want to leave the house or shop in stores? Even with a stay-at-home order from Ohio Gov. Mike Dewine and the closure of non-essential business from Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, grocery stores are still open and people are allowed to leave their homes to get supplies. There are plenty of ways to get groceries if you order beforehand online. Some locations will deliver groceries to your front door, while others will let you pick them up curbside. Here are your options:

Kroger Kroger allows customers to order online and pick up at the store to make it easier on shoppers. Kroger said due to increased demand, shoppers may experience longer wait times, delayed deliveries or limited inventory. Pickup is currently free. Delivery for Kroger groceries is $9.95 and is done through a third party service. Customers order groceries online and they will be delivered to the customer's door during an allotted time slot. Kroger also ships products, typically as soon as 1-3 days. Customers can get free shipping on orders over $35.

Remke Markets Remke Markets has pickup options for customers through its mobile app, Mobile Markets. "You can browse thousands of products online with our easy-to-use site or app from the comfort of your own home! Receive same in-store prices including all sales and special oﬀ ers. Search by department, brand, “my favorites” or weekly ad item," Remke said. Remke asks customers with pickup orders to wait for an “order is ready” email before coming to the store. Remke said there is a guaranteed two-hour turnaround and the ﬁ rst four orders are fee-free.

Target Target off ers same-day delivery through Shipt, instore order pickup and drive-up pickup. Offi cials said due to high demand, the company is facing pickup delays. Delivery through Shipt allows customers to get groceries, essentials and more delivered to their door by a Shipt shopper. Customers can try it free for four weeks or pay a one-time delivery fee. Shipt off ers two mem-

bership options – yearly and month-to-month. Yearly Shipt membership is $99 per year, and a monthly membership is $14 per month. For drive-up services, customers shop in the Target App and select drive up at checkout. Customers can then park in the designated spot after receiving the order notiﬁ cation and a Target employee will load up your car.

Instacart Instacart allows you to choose from a variety of grocery stores in your area rather than just ordering from a speciﬁ c store. Options include Whole Foods, Costco, and even non-grocery stores like CVS and PetCo. You don’t need a membership to join the service, but you can get free delivery on orders over $35 with Instacart Express, which costs $149 a year. Once you’ve chosen your desired store, you can search through a variety of produce, nonperishables, and specialty items. There’s also the option to choose substitutions, in case your desired item is sold out. After you’ve virtually shopped, you can select a time window for the delivery within an hour. It should be noted that with high demand for delivery, the time selections could be delayed for several days right now, so if you need your groceries ASAP this might not be the best service for you. Your subtotal for the service includes the estimated cost of your groceries (this will change to the precise number when you’re charged), delivery fee, service fee, sales tax, and driver tip, making it pricier than your typical grocery run. However, it could be worth it depending on your needs.

Amazon Fresh Amazon sells your favorite tech products and household essentials, and yes, they will even deliver groceries directly to your door. The name of their grocery delivery service is Amazon Fresh. The service is exclusively available to Prime members for an additional $14.99/month, but still oﬀ ers free shipping on your groceries over $35. Shopping on Amazon Fresh works the same way as shopping for anything else on Amazon. You’re just limited to searching for groceries. You can see in real-time if an item is in stock, and you can even ﬁ nd coupons. If you spend less than $50, you’ll be hit with a $9.99 delivery charge, so keep that in mind while shopping. Once you’re ready to check out, you can choose your delivery window for as early as the same-day if it's available. Again, delivery times are very limited right now, so you may have to wait a few days for your groceries to arrive.

Walmart In select cities, Walmart oﬀ ers a grocery delivery service that is useful if you like to do your weekly food haul there. It should be noted that there is a $30 minimum for using the service, so think about how much you actually need before you start shopping. Navigating the grocery page of Walmart is similar to other food delivery services. The homepage features a variety of popular items, but it’s typically easier to search for the food you’re looking for or choose a department. Once you’ve added everything to your virtual cart, you can select either a pickup time or a delivery time. Both are currently delayed a few days because of the high demand for the service, but picking it up yourself will save you money on a delivery fee that can be up to $9.95. You can also opt for the Delivery Unlimited plan for free shipping for $12.95 a month or $98 annually, which could save you money in the long run if you use the service enough.

Meijer Meijer oﬀ ers pickup and delivery options to customers for a small fee. Pay per order is $4.95 for pickup or $9.95 for delivery through Shipt. USA TODAY contributed to this article.

The parents of Florence Elementary students are taking on multiple roles playing parent, teacher, entertainer, caregiver, and chef. After multiple weeks of this uncertain time, we all have a greater appreciation for each other. Our teachers are also working double duty between their own family and being supportive, available for guidance, grading work, and having open communication with their current students to help settle their mind during the Emergency Non-Traditional Instruction period. Students are being more appreciative of their parents, teachers, and classmates as they miss the routine of going to school and being part of the extracurricular activities. After some adjusting period, everyone is trying to fi nd the normalcy and are settling in and taking one day at a time. Creativity and new ways to handle the daily tasks given on such a short notice. The community is graciously serving our families during this ever changing time. Locally, 7 Hills Church is providing “Go Packs,” United Way is off ering access to a COVID-19 Community Economic Relief Funds, and Florence Family Resource Center continues to off er weekend bags through the help of Florence Baptist Church. Our rocking cafeteria staff is preparing both breakfast and lunch to help those in need. Our bus drivers are delivering food and smiles to students in their communities. Florence Elementary has reached out to our families inquiring who has been superheroes during the COVID-19. We have so many superhero in our communities. The students are becoming superheroes too as they complete daily tasks like being dishwashers, cleaners, mess makers, readers and teachers to their younger siblings. Students have been study buddies, board game players, and they are becoming super family members.

for all to follow, and being at home has its distractions along with stressful feelings can be overwhelming. There have been some mental and emotional days but at the end of the day we’re all in this together. Families, schools, and our community need to be reminded to breathe and enjoy the time we have together.” According to Principal Resing, “This time will soon be remember as a blink of time when the normalcy of life returns but our lives will forever be changed.” Only a few short weeks ago teachers were talking about spring break and teaching students in classrooms; today Florence Elementary is navigating by Google Meet, Zoom, and Google Classrooms while trying to keep everything disinfected. Hopefully soon and these days will not seem so stressful because we are KNIGHT STRONG and we know how the story ends… victorious!
