You may have caught a glimpse of a vast black hoop skirt swish down an aisle, or a long, ornately patterned, begoggled beak nosing its way through the produce section if you made a recent trip to Jungle Jim’s in Eastgate on the same day as Karen Hinrichs Lukes. If so, you were treated to a snapshot of just how wild fashion could be even just raiding the grocery in a post-apocalyptic world. You may have even seen her getup being shared on Reddit or Facebook, where photos of her shopping trip to Jungle Jim’s exploded in popularity, causing her DMs to be stuff ed with friend requests, exclamations of “OMG we could be best friends” and people asking her to teach techniques or do a class.

Captain Doug Ralph offi cially retired from Delta Airlines Monday, April 27, on his 65th birthday. To celebrate his career, Ralph’s wife Sheryl put together a “fl y-by” celebration with community friends, pilots and fl ight attendants driving past their Northern Kentucky home in recognition of his 28 years with Delta airlines. Parade-goers not only festooned their cars to look like airplanes, but one man even dressed up in a full jet airplane costume to celebrate. “It was pretty fun and very gratifying that that many people took time out of their lives to show up to say congratulations,” Ralph said. “It was a very humbling experience.” Ralph didn’t start out in airplanes. He went to school for architecture and realized it wasn’t his niche. Ralph then found himself joining the Marine Corps where he became a helicopter pilot as well as a fl ight instructor. In 1983, he transitioned to the reserves, in special operations, working also as a stockbroker in San Diego. His Delta career began in 1991, transitioning to an international captain in just two years. Ralph has served as a lobbyist for the Air Line Pilots Association in Washington D.C. and as a pilot representative as well as on Delta’s board of directors from 2015-2019.

To celebrate his career, Ralph’s wife Sheryl put together a “fly-by” celebration with community friends, pilots and flight attendants driving past their Northern Kentucky home in recognition of his 28 years with Delta airlines.
“Kind of a mixed bag of things. No real straight line in anything there,” Ralph said. With a resume like Ralph’s, it’s easy to see why his wife of 25 years put together such a celebration.
Friends held signs for Captain Doug Ralph’s birthday and retirement.
While everybody was driving by Ralph’s home, he already had a Zoom call from 20 pilots celebrating his time at Delta. “It was really unique, my wife of 25 years totally caught me by surprise.”
“In apocalyptic movies, everyone has a crazy getup and I always wanted to see the prequel where they’re raiding the craft store and getting their stuff together.” Karen Hinrichs Lukes

NKY Amazon employee protests over conditions Amazon denounces ‘misinformation’ Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
HEBRON, KY. — Sarah Fields, 37, hoisted a sign high above her head as cars whizzed by and honked. Fields, an employee at the Amazon Fulfi llment Center, protested outside of the building over the conditions inside in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Fields organized the protest which drew about a dozen people to a sidewalk outside of the building to demand better working conditions. “I know that people are dying and Amazon’s not telling us the truth,” Fields said through her black cloth mask that cloaked her mouth and nose. “They see us as expendable and that there is an unlimited resource of workers that they can run through.” Fields, of Elsmere, was the sole employee to participate. A former co-worker and people from Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky joined her as well. As they protested, some employees waved at the group as they entered the building for their shift. The protest was planned in coordination with other Amazon Fulfi llment Center walkouts, Fields explained. In response to the protest, Amazon said in a statement: “While we respect people’s right to express themselves, we

“In apocalyptic movies, everyone has a crazy getup and I always wanted to see the prequel where they’re raiding the craft store and getting their stuff together. I thought this is the time to decide what we’re wearing,” she said. Hinrichs Lukes, a 46year-old Edgewood, Kentucky resident, is a costume-crafting afi cionado, having made it a hobby of winning costume contests and crafting killer ensembles from her kids’ Halloween fantasies. A frequent visitor to thrift stores to fi nd inspiration, all the bits of her apocalypse costume were things she already had at home. Her daughter wanted to be Medusa for Halloween, so she carved 16 snakes from a block of foam and mounted it to a hat. Her son wanted a Chomper costume from Plants vs. Zombies, so she fashioned a giant venus fl ytrap head out of cardboard. A friend’s daughter requested a sugar skull face for Halloween, so Hinrichs Lukes evolved the idea into Carmen from “The Book of Life,” complete with a slinky dress and a huge hat with candles lining the brim. Her hobby leads her to frequent visits to thrift stores to fi nd inspiration, so it’s not surprising she already had all the parts for her apocalypse costume at home. Her creativity doesn’t end there. There’s also her urge to perform. “I used to be a circus clown (she spent two years with Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, Clyde Beatty and Cole Bros. and the Kelly Miller Circus), so this costume hit the sweet

object to the irresponsible actions of labor groups in spreading misinformation and making false claims about Amazon during this unprecedented health and economic crisis. We have gone to ex-
spot for performance for me of ‘Look at me, look at me, look at me,’ but with anonymity. Make people laugh, smile, and not be recognizable after the fact,” she said. She distilled and dramatized her fears of the new coronavirus pandemic and put them on parade: an enormous hoop skirt to ensure everyone keeps their distance, a dramatically large and sharp beak-like mask to prevent breathing in the virus. But Hinrichs Lukes ensured she was being responsible with displaying her fl air for the dramatic. Her friends, who had watched the month-long process of the costume’s realization, said she just had to go to the grocery store. But she wanted to do the right thing and waited until she had an actual grocery list. She chose Jungle Jim’s for its already whimsical atmosphere. Everyone
treme measures to understand and address this pandemic.” Amazon added that it spent more than $800 million in the fi rst half of 2020 on COVID-19 safety measures such as masks, hand sanitizer, sanitizing wipes, gloves and installing additional hand-washing stations at warehouses. Fields said she organized the local protest with Christian Smalls, a former Amazon employee who gained national attention for his lunch hour walkout at a fulfi llment center in Staten Island. Smalls was fi red after he led a walkout in protest of what they saw as the company’s inadequate response to the crisis, according to The New York Times. Fields began working at the Heron location about two years ago to help proc-

going in there is already expecting something cute and fun, she said. “I was legit trying to grocery shop. The only time I stopped and posed was if I knew for sure there was nobody trying to get around me. I was just trying to do a regular,
quick, ‘you’re going in and you’re getting out’ grocery run,” she said. Her friend accompanied her with her camera but found it diffi cult to shoot Hinrichs Lukes as she zoomed through the store. Back to the costume, though: The whole concept started with the mask. Then she thought of the cage petticoat, which she expected to fail in creating. It’s made from a smaller petticoat that came out of a prom dress. She widened the skirt even further by taking apart a sun shelter pop tent that had two big rings in it. Those poles
were threaded through plastic tubing and fastened with a ton of bias tape. She recorded several live videos on Facebook as she went through the process. The whole thing took about a month to make during breaks from

ess customer returns. “Bottom of the totem pole,” she said. She used one of her unpaid days off in order to protest. Since the pandemic began, Fields’ bosses notifi ed her that two co-workers were diagnosed with COVID-19, the highly contagious upper respiratory disease caused by novel coronavirus. Fields said she hoped the protest would “put pressure on” Amazon to improve the working conditions. Fields listed a few things that would make it better, including work-provided alcoholic wipes to clean shared computers and daily sanitation of the entire building, she said. “The reason I came out today was to support the people that are in fear for retaliation of being out here themselves because Amazon will retaliate,” said former employee Shannan Creamer, 52. “So I came out here to show support for them and speak for the ones who couldn’t be out here.” Fields said she knows change won’t happen overnight. But she’s hopeful for some change. “Whether we have a union makes no diff erence,” Fields said. “We’re allowed to do this.” USA Today contributed to this report Julia is the Northern Kentucky government reporter through the Report For America program.

homeschooling her three children who are 16, 14 and 11 (she’s a homeschool mom even when there’s not a pandemic), and sewing about 100 face masks for Living Arrangements for the Developmentally Disabled. “Right now, before I make anything else stupid and fun, I’m cutting up the majority of my fabric stash and making about 600 more masks for them. If once this is over, I had a fabric stash that didn’t help people, I’d feel bad.” The costume may make another appearance at some point, too. She might hit the grocery store in dramatic fashion again, of course during a time when the least amount of people are there and somewhere were the aisles are wide. Or, “Instead of going for a walk around my neighborhood, I might go for a very dramatic walk around my neighborhood.”

Make a personal container herb garden as a Mother’s Day gift Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist
This Mother’s Day will have special meaning for me, and maybe for you, too. It’s all about wanting to connect while still honoring guidelines for sheltering in place. And herbs play a role here. Early in the day we’ll take my mother’s favorite peppermint and plant it, as we do every year, at the cemetery between her and my dad’s graves. A loving and poignant reminder of her giving me sprigs of the plant so many years ago. So here’s a fun project. How about making personal container herb gardens for those special moms? She can keep them in a container or plant them in the ground. Varieties are endless. Does she love tea? A healing tea herb garden is for her. An adventurous cook? How about a salsa Tex Mex garden? Hot and spicy oregano, cilantro and peppermint come to mind. A Thai herb garden? Try Thai mint, Thai basil and Vietnamese cilantro. You can see where I’m going here. And don’t forget about spa herbs – lovely fragrant herbs for a relaxing bath. I’m sharing a few herbal combos here as a guide. Edible fl owers can be added, along with companion veggies. Be creative! Now, for growing tips, check out my abouteating.com site.
Healing tea herbs Not only does tea hydrate, herbal teas have healing properties. A tablespoon of fresh to a cup of boiling water, or a teaspoon of dried, steeped for 3-5 minutes, then strained, will off er a delicious tea. Sweeten to taste and add lemon if you like. You can always just add a sprig to regular brewed teas, too. Mint: Invigorating, good for digestion. Many varieties. Chamomile and Lavender: Trouble sleeping? Both make lovely, calming teas. Fennel: This licorice fl avored tea warms and soothes. Thyme and sage: Together these are good for upper respiratory health. Stevia: A super sugar substitute. Non caloric and diabetic safe. A little goes a long way.
Spa/bath herbs DIY bath salts with Epsom salt, sea salt and bath
A simple basket of herbs. RITA HEIKENFELD/FOR THE ENQUIRER
herbs. Eucalyptus: A few leaves in a hot bath open up sinuses. Lemon balm: A favorite in soaps, this has a clean, lemon aroma. Lavender: A popular aromatherapy plant. So calming. Mint: Invigorating and makes a skin-loving sugar scrub.
Simple kitchen herb garden Here’s a few essential herbs. Basil: You can’t go wrong with Sweet or Genovese basil for pestos and everyday cooking. For smaller containers, Globe or Minet grow in a rounded shape, 12” overall. Parsley: So pretty and useful. Italian or curly – you choose. Chives: Both onion and garlic chives are cut and come again several times. Rosemary: The piney fl avor is a favorite. There are upright and smaller, trailing varieties.
Oregano: Golden oregano is nice for containers as it’s smaller and more mild than its Greek cousin. Sage: The variegated sages stay fairly small and quite pretty. Bergarten sage is a slower bolting sage with large leaves. Mint: Mints are invasive. Keep that in mind when deciding how to plant. Thyme: French is the gold standard; lemon thyme is hugely popular, too, with leaves that stay more tender than French.

Sports Beechwood baseball reacts to canceled season James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Beechwood High School baseball had a dream season in 2019, going 38-2 and losing in the state quarterfi nals to Breckinridge County. The Tigers’ one regular-season loss was in a game where the Tigers used a lot of backups as they rested their stars for the All “A” Classic state tournament, which they won. Unfortunately for Beechwood and all of its partners in high school baseball, 2020 has been a bad dream. The Tigers will suff er no defeats during the season, but they will also enjoy no wins as the season has been canceled by the novel coronavirus. “It’s terrible for our seniors,” said head coach Kevin Gray said. “You never expect to deal with anything like this. We expected that news but when you hear the offi cial news, a few of the players took it really hard. I try to keep them as positive as they can. Then, I don’t know if they can play summer ball. They may have a whole year off , which would be terrible.” Beechwood has six seniors: Marcus Berger, Carter Noah, Jackson Noll, Preston Hamilton, Carson Graham and Alexander Harper. Berger is the son of former Major League Baseball player Brandon Berger, who played with the Kansas City Royals from 2001-04. He was one of the top returning hitters from 2019. Harper had won the starting shortstop job for 2020 in preseason. Noah was 13-0 with a 1.59 ERA last season, giving up only 61 hits in 75 innings. Brett Holladay, a sophomore, had seven wins and a 1.99 ERA last year. Junior Drew Fieger had four wins and a 3.74 ERA. The Tigers graduated their top fi ve hitters from last year, including Northern Kentucky player of the year Logan Castleman. “I think our strength was going to be our pitching,” Gray said. “We had Carter and Brett. We had a really good junior class. We were hoping the pitching would keep us in games and the hitting would come around.” Beechwood, like other programs, has proven veterans such as Noah who are known quantities to college coaches. They also had players like Harper who were going to have their fi rst moment in the spotlight but could fall through the cracks when it comes to college opportunities. “This was his time to shine,” Gray said. “He had a great scrimmage against (10th Region favorite) Campbell County. It’s tough for schools to take a chance on a kid they’ve never seen. “It’s not just the seniors. We were going to have some young guys, two or See BEECHWOOD, Page 2B

These are best prep girls basketball players to come out of Cincinnati Alex Harrison and Sierra Newton Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
To fi nd Cincinnati's and Northern Kentucky's best girls basketball players takes more than a glance at the respective state record books.

their only year.” Meanwhile, the Beechwood coach was expecting a competitive season in the Ninth Region.

This year, there was no team above anybody else in the Ninth. It would have been a really interesting year to see who separated themselves.”

COMMUNITY NEWS $240K deployed to Northern Kentucky nonprofi ts Horizon Community Funds of Northern Kentucky has announced its next round of funding to be released during the coronavirus pandemic. The following organizations will receive immediate funding: • Meals on Wheels of Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky, $200,000 for Senior Meals on Wheels • Sweet Cheeks Diaper Bank, $30,000 for diapers and feminine hygiene products • Learning Grove, $6,000 for delivery of essential goods to families • St. Vincent de Paul – Northern Kentucky, $4,500 for emergency family assistance “We know that the need in our community is extensive, and it is urgent,” said Horizon Community Funds President Nancy Grayson. “We are stepping up in full force, and we ask the community to do the same as you are able. This fund is critical to the families and individuals who are disproportionately impacted by this crisis.” The Relief Fund is a special fund for generating a signifi cant source of money to use for citizens of Northern Kentucky, especially families who are suff ering hardship from loss of jobs, income, or due to health-related events. Initial priorities for the Fund include: food and basic hygiene and cleaning supplies; medication and health care needs not supported by insurance; and access to essential needs. Individuals and businesses are encouraged to donate by: • Texting “NKYRELIEF” to 44-321 • Visiting www.horizonfunds.org • Mailing a check made payable to Horizon Community Funds (memo: NKY Coronavirus Relief Fund): 50 E. RiverCenter Blvd., Suite 430, Covington, KY 41011 “The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way that communities serve food insecure seniors overnight. No senior should worry about risking his or her health and safety to leave home in search of food,” said Meals on Wheels of Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky Executive Director Jennifer Steele. “We are so grateful to Horizon Community Funds for the opportunity to leverage our existing home-delivered meals infrastructure, in collaboration with trusted partners, to meet the rapidly changing needs of Northern Kentucky seniors during this crisis.” Resources have been deployed rapidly, foregoing the traditional long form application process. Instead, the Horizon NKY Coronavirus Relief Fund advisory committee considers organizations currently providing prioritized supports to Northern Kentuckians. Earlier this month, Horizon Community Funds directed $150,000 to Be Concerned and $35,000 to Faith Community Pharmacy, with a provision that these nonprofi ts additionally distribute goods to other local organizations needing similar resources. “We are so grateful that Horizon Community Funds is ensuring Northern Kentucky babies are going to be happy, healthy, and safe during
this pandemic,” said Sweet Cheeks Diaper Bank CEO & Founder Megan Fischer. “Each month, we’re going to be able to serve at least 500 extra babies with diapers and distribute hundreds of period supply kits into the community because of these funds.” Funds will be released on a rolling basis as fundraising continues throughout the outbreak and recovery phases of the crisis, making it possible to move resources quickly and adapt to evolving needs in subsequent funding phases. “Despite the uncertainty the pandemic has created, we are really seeing the best in our community at this time,” said St. Vincent de Paul Executive Director Karen Zengel. “We are grateful to Horizon Community Funds and all those supporters who have made the commitment to ensure that none of our neighbors will weather this storm alone. “You can’t help but feel blessed to live in Northern Kentucky. We will make it through this together.” Fund eff orts are supported by: The Butler Foundation, Central Bank, The Charles H. Dater Foundation, CTI Clinical Trial and Consulting Services, Drees Homes Foundation, Duke Energy, The R. C. Durr Foundation, Fifth Third Foundation, Fischer Homes, Forcht Bank, Heritage Bank, Huntington Bank, The Milburn Family Foundation, Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, Northern Kentucky University, The Scripps Howard Foundation, St. Elizabeth Healthcare, Republic Bank, and others. Many generous individuals have also stepped up to off er support for the fund as it grows in Northern Kentucky. “Our staff and providers have gone above and beyond to support the children, students and families during this crisis,” said Learning Grove CEO Shannon StarkeyTaylor. “The food, cleaning supplies, and now diapers that we’re able to distribute to our most needy neighbors have been so welcomed. “Our staff have felt truly supported by their community with these resources and have loved being able to drop off these greatly needed items directly to their families.” Additionally, the continued partnership between Horizon Community Funds and St. Elizabeth Healthcare has introduced the St. Elizabeth Associate Crisis Support Fund, which off ers fi nancial assistance to St. Elizabeth employees during times of unexpected personal need. The fund allows donors the opportunity to directly support the needs of St. Elizabeth healthcare workers on the front lines of this crisis. More than $250,000 has been raised so far for this fund, which continues to seek donations. A third fund, the NKY Restaurant Relief Fund, was recently launched in partnership with the NKY Chamber of Commerce and Tri-ED to incentivize gift card purchases to Northern Kentucky restaurants.

COVINGTON, KY Behringer-Crawford Museum is inviting Northern Kentuckians to share their personal stories in “Behind the Mask: NKY in the Pandemic,” a historical documentary of life when COVID-19 brought everyday life to a standstill. The museum is collecting descriptions, diaries, photos and videos which show how our world changed when the coronavirus forced businesses to shut down, schools to close and families to self-isolate in their homes. Contributors are asked to tell their stories in words and pictures and send to the museum via email or snail mail. The entries will be compiled, shared on the BCM website, www.bcmuseum.org, and preserved in the museum’s archives as an important piece of regional history. In an email to supporters, the museum asked, “Please tell future generations what your life was like during this unprecedented period in our lives. Were you confi ned at home alone or with your family? How did you pass the time? Were you driving to work through deserted streets? Are you a fi rst responder or health worker? What are your challenges and fears? What keeps you smiling? What are you most looking forward to when all this is over?” The museum invites businesses and organizations as well as individuals and families to con-
tribute. Written accounts should be limited to 1000 words and videos to three minutes. The public is also encouraged to send photos showing how their communities were impacted—people wearing masks, long lines at stores, family events being celebrated with social distancing. Submissions should be emailed to bcmcovidstories@gmail.com or mailed to BehringerCrawford Museum, 1600 Montague Road-Devou Park, Covington, KY 41011, along with the submitter’s name, address, email address and phone number. The museum off ered some sample questions to get residents thinking about their pandemic experiences. • How has your daily life been aff ected by the pandemic in regard to your job, your family and your routine? What about special occasions? • Have you visited a store, had an appointment or participated in a “normal activity” during this time? What was your experience? • If you operate a business or are involved with an organization, how has it been impacted? • Is there any other time in your life in which you’ve experienced anything similar to the current pandemic situation? • Do you have stories of others - family, friends, neighbors or strangers going “above and beyond” to help out during the pandemic? • What do you think is important for future generations to know about this experience? For questions or more information about “Behind the Mask: NKY in the Pandemic,” contact BCM Assistant Director Samantha Simendinger at 859-491-4003 or ssimendinger@icloud.com. Behringer-Crawford Museum is supported in part by our members; the City of Covington, Kenton County Fiscal Court, ArtsWave, Kentucky Arts Council, Northern Kentucky Sports Hall of Fame and The Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile, Jr. US Bank Foundation. Submitted

17 Royce Ferguson, 34, is an American living in London, currently between jobs. He says one perk of residing in Europe is that the international edition of The New York Times prints both the Saturday and Sunday puzzles on Saturday, “enabling a regular Saturday crossword binge.” He got the idea for this puzzle while on holiday in Switzerland, a nation known for its 47-Acrosses. This is Royce’s crossword debut. — W.S.
