Breathe easy Cincinnati: There will be no goetta shortage Julia Fair

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COVINGTON, Ky. — Here’s one less thing to worry about: there will be no goetta shortage. At Glier’s Goetta, the owners have invested both in meat stockpiles and machines that are intended to cleanse the virus from the air, keeping workers safe. So while the nation’s meat supply dwindles during the COVID-19 pandemic, Glier’s CEO Dan Glier, 71, says the goetta supply is safe and plentiful. “There won’t be a shortage of goetta,” Glier told The Enquirer’s That’s So Cincinnati podcast.

Processed goetta ready for packaging sits in a storage refrigerator on Tuesday at Glier’s Meats Inc.

Inside a brick building on Goetta Place in this Northern Kentucky city, workers recently mixed and packaged the meat-and-grain sausage mush.

Anyone walking by couldn’t help but smell the mixed meat, an aroma often found in diners. You can only get goetta in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky region. It’s breakfast meat made by combining steel-cut or ‘pinhead’ oats with pork or pork and beef. It came with German immigrants during the 1800s. Glier’s - pronounced Glee-ers - is the largest commercial producer of goetta in the world, producing one million pounds of goetta each year. What made the supply at Glier’s Goetta safe from the pandemic? Glier pointed to a backpack-sized See GOETTA, Page 2A

The Central Campbell Fire District announced May 18 that one of their fi refi ghters passed away unexpectedly. Whitney Craig, 34, passed away May 17 in Hebron. “Words cannot express how sad it makes us to have to announce this terrible news,” the district said in a release. “Whitney was a wonderful young lady and we miss her already.” Craig Craig started her career in 2011 with the Ludlow Fire Department. She was hired as a fi refi ghter-paramedic with Central Campbell in 2015 and promoted to engineer-paramedic in 2018. “Whitney was a loving mother of two boys and was a great fi refi ghterengineer-paramedic,” stated in the release. A GoFundMe has been created for her funeral expenses. As of May 19, the account had raised more than $13,000. “Due to the unexpected loss, there were no funds in place for funeral arrangements for Whitney and her family,” the GoFundMe says. “We are graciously accepting donations to help alleviate this fi nancial burden. Any leftover funds will be placed in trust funds for her two sons.” No further details regarding the manner of Craig’s death were released when this article was originally published.

UPDATE to the article in the Cincinnati Enquirer on June 12, 1980 "Reunited Cuban Family Hopes to Live Freely" May 23, 2020 marked the 40 Year Anniversary to a Local Cuban Woman who came to this country on May 23, 1980. Ana and her 6 year old son crossed the Florida Straits from Cuba on a small fishing boat with 237 refugees. She was reunited with her husband and her son’s father in Cincinnati. Her dream was to buy a home, to get their son a good education, along with living her strong faith... Ana and Jesus did just that. They taught themselves English. Ana became a United States Citizen and is extremely proud to be American. She flies her American flag high outside her home, but is still proud to also be Cuban and speaks highly of the country she is from. Ana also gave birth to two more beautiful children. A daughter and son (first generation American). Not only did they purchase a home for themselves, Jesus and Ana started and ran a dry cleaning business for several years. Ana also became a nanny for three children of a well-known Hall of Famer Major League Baseball player and his wife. Ana and her husband were able to give their children the life that they knew wouldn't be possible in Cuba. Her children went to high school and graduated with scholarships. They all went to college and both of her sons played sports in college. Now Ana is retired with her husband and her children are married with kids of their own. They are enjoying 10 beautiful grandchildren. If this isn't the American Dream, I don't know what is. Congratulations for 40 years of Living Freely!

white machine that whirred above his employees’ heads. Nothing visible came out of the machine. Glier knew it was on because of the sound it made. The machine spewed out ionized hydrogen peroxide plasma into the air, which reduced the presence of viruses’ in the air. Glier hoped it would do the same for novel coronavirus. The machine pushed millions of ionized high energy clusters in the air that sought out contaminants and purifi ed the air and surfaces. The same technology is used in doctor’s offi ces. Glier bought the machines from the Dayton, Ohio-based company Extreme Microbial Technologies. The Food Science Institute at Kansas State University verifi ed that the technology is more than 99% eff ective at reducing viruses in the air and surfaces, according to the press release from Glier’s Goetta. In 1977, Glier took over the company after his dad died just three years into the family’s fi ve-year plan to get the younger Glier ready to take over. Since then, he’s immersed himself in the meat industry to stay updated on what the next best thing for the company would be. He learned about the $6,000 machines at the North American Meat Institution convention in Atlanta. He installed three in January 2019. As the COVID-19 pandemic spread across the U.S., Glier felt prepared because of the machines’ disinfectant abilities to keep his workers safe in the 7,000-square-foot processing plant. “This may not be the end all, but it sure is a big help,” Glier said. He got gloves for his 29 employees and they maintain social distancing at their work stations. They were not wearing masks on Tuesday. He said he’s waiting for three more machines to install on top of three running already. The machines aren’t the only thing that’s keeping Glier Goetta on the shelves in the region’s grocery stores. Before the U.S. worried about COVID-19, Glier was worried about the African swine fever that decimated pig populations across Asia near the end of 2019, according to The Washington Post. So, in January, Glier ordered extra pork. He froze it and took from the stockpile whenever one of his suppliers couldn’t fulfi ll a full order. “When I saw what was starting to happen with COVID-19, I said ‘this thing

can get out of hand.’” Glier said. “Not because of the disease, but because of the governmental reaction. That could lead to shortages or shutdowns.” In March, Glier put away even more product in the freezer. Glier estimated they have enough frozen meat to get through 10 weeks of any supplier shortage. Because of that, things haven’t slowed down at the goetta processor plant during the pandemic, Glier said. Fewer orders came from restaurants but more orders came from retailers. He gestured to the stacks of meat products labeled to be sent to stores such as Costco, Sam’s Club and Kroger. “When we heard about COVID-19, we thought: Oh, we’re all set,’” Glier said. Unless they’re told otherwise by Gov. Andy Beshear, Goettafest will still happen, Glier said. Glier’s company has thrown the festival every summer since 2001 to celebrate the dish. “We’re planning on it right now,” Glier told That’s So Cincinnati podcast. “It’s looking like we’ll be able to open things up and Goettafest will hopefully be one of the ﬁ rst festivals (of 2020).” Glier’s Goettafest is over two weekends: July 30-Aug. 2 and Aug. 6-9 at

COVID-19 treatment:

St. Elizabeth seeks patients for drug’s ﬁ rst U.S. trial The Enquirer

St. Elizabeth Healthcare is the fi rst U.S. location to off er a clinical trial of an inhaled drug that scientists hope can limit COVID-19 in patients with early stages of the lung illness. A separate arm of the trial will study whether the drug can prevent people exposed to the coronavirus from contracting COVID-19 or reduce the disease’s severity if they do fall ill. “If this clinical trial is successful, it can help heal the disease faster, decrease length of hospital stay and improve outcomes without (a patient) needing to get on a ventilator, which is exciting,” said Dr. Chaitanya Mandapakala, a pulmonologist and principal investigator for the trial of PUL-042 at St. Elizabeth, in a news release. The goal of the FDA-approved trial, which will be run in up to 20 locations, is to see how eff ective the drug is and how well patients tolerate it. It wouldn’t be available for broader use until an additional study with more patients. The drug, developed by Houstonbased Pulmotect Inc., is designed to activate the immune defenses of the lung’s mucous membrane and provide broad protection against respiratory infections. PUL-042 triggers a response in minutes to “provide immediate and effective protection against all major classes of pathogens” including bacteria, viruses and fungi “that lasts for days,” according to the company. The lung damage from COVID-19 is dramatic. Many CT scan images of COVID-19 patients’ lungs show patchy, irregular areas where the virus has damaged the lining of the lung. The patients’ lungs have a patchy appearance with areas of whitish-gray, the so-called “ground glass” appearance unlike other kinds of pneumonia and one that was noted early on as a telltale sign of the disease. If a patient survives a severe case of COVID-19, “it can take three months to a year or more for a person’s lung function to return to pre-COVID-19 levels,” said Dr. Panagis Galiatsatos, a lung expert at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center

CT scans of patients with COVID-19 reveal patchy white areas of the lung where the lung has been damaged by the virus. These patterns are known as ground-glass opacities and indicate areas of inflammation, fluid buildup and tissue damage. COURTESY OF THE RADIOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF NORTH AMERICA

in an article posted by the university. The drug company is running the clinical trial in partnership with Covington-based Clinical Trial and Consulting Services, a global contract research organization. “The COVID-19 pandemic demands an unprecedented response from the pharmaceutical and biotechnology communities, requiring innovation, collaboration, and prioritization of speed without the cost of safety,” said Tim Schroeder, founder and CEO of CTI, in a news release. St. Elizabeth is “the ﬁ rst site to begin screening on this trial because of their ability to quickly execute contracts, develop a site budget, receive IRB (institutional review board) approval, and be trained faster than any other site in the U.S.,” Schroeder said. The clinical trial is the latest example of St. Elizabeth’s partnership with CTI.

Both organizations say they want to expand the relationship to include other diseases, including oncology, immunology, and nephrology, as well as to bring more local attention to clinical trials. Locations in Oklahoma and Texas also have signed up for the study on easing the damage from COVID-19. But only the St. Elizabeth group is currently enrolling patients in the study, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine’s website Clinicaltrials.gov. In the study that includes St. E., 100 patients with early symptoms of COVID-19 will receive the treatment administered via a nebulizer up to three times over six days. Two hundred patients in the second study will receive up to four doses of PUL-042 or placebo by inhalation over a 10 day period to evaluate the prevention of infection and reduction in the severity of COVID-19.

In both trials, subjects will be followed up for 28 days to assess the eff ectiveness and tolerability of PUL-042. The study should wind up in October, according to Clinicaltrials.gov. Patients in both studies will be randomly assigned to either a test group receiving the experimental intervention or a control group receiving a placebo (an inactive substance that looks like the drug or treatment being tested). Using this technique to compare results from the two groups “suggests whether changes in the test group result from the treatment or occur by chance,” according to the National Institutes of Health website for its aging institute. Pulmotect is paying for the trials out of its own pocket, with money that came from the fi nal closing of the company’s off ering of Series B Preferred stock in March, the company said. The Arizona Republic contributed.

‘The right project:’ New development may rise at site of Beverly Hills Supper Club Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

More than 40 years after a fi re destroyed the Beverly Hills Supper Club and killed 165 people, a Northern Kentucky city has given the initial okay for plans to develop the site. At its meeting May 6, Southgate City Council unanimously entered into a joint agreement with the Edgewood, Ky.-based construction fi rm Ashley Builders and Cincinnati-based Vision Realty Group to develop the land into a $65 million mix-used development that will include an assisted living center, apartments, homes – and a permanent memorial honoring the victims of the 1977 supper club fi re. The fi re at the club was the third deadliest nightclub fi re in U.S. history. During Memorial Day weekend in 1977, the fi re killed 165 people and more than 200 were injured. “It has been nearly 43 years since that tragic night, and there have been a number of proposals over the years to develop the site,” said Southgate Mayor Jim Hamberg in a press release. “I’m excited that we waited for the right project and the right developer.” The mixed-use site, called Memorial Point, will be built over fi ve years, according to the release. Construction is estimated to begin in fall 2021. Here’s what the 80-acre site will have: ❚ 89 single-family, two- to four-bedroom homes that will be off ered starting in the upper $300,000 range. ❚ 100 to 200 apartments that will cost $1,100 to $2,000 a month with amenities that include a pool, indoor exercise facility and event center. ❚ 79 residential units in a for-profi t assisted living facility that will cost $3,000 to $6,000 a month. “The developer committed to a memorial fi nally and permanently honoring the memories of those who lost their lives on that fateful night and the brave fi remen whose bravery saved many

lives in the hours the fi re raged,” Southgate city councilwoman LeAnna Homandberg said in an email. “It brings a mixed-use development to Southgate balancing history and future benefi ting Southgate residents and creating jobs.” The memorial will be at the base of the hill that leads up to a park within the residential section of the development, said Ashley Builders representative Bill Kreutzjans Jr. at the May 6 city council meeting, held via video conference due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The memorial along U.S. 27 will include: ❚ The names of the victims ❚ A list of local fi rst responder units that responded to the fi re ❚ A list of the federal and state fi re safety regulations that were implemented as a result of the fi re ❚ Maps of the site in 1977. The memorial will be donated to the city. The park won’t be public, but the public will have access to the memorial. What happens next? A lot of meetings and public input. City council’s decision means the project will be reviewed by the Campbell County zoning commission, which reviews projects like this for cities within the county. That needs to happen because the site isn’t zoned for the type of proposed project. To be successful, the developers will need to show why the site should be changed. Right now, the site is zoned for professional offi ce use. The developers want to change it to a combination of residential and general commercial for the memorial site.

‘The Last Patty’

Beechwood High School seniors receive last lunch from school’s food services employees

Heather Mullins, Beechwood High School kitchen manager, drops off lunch with her daughter Alex, a Beechwood Senior, while helping serve a special lunch for seniors deemed “The Last Patty.”

Madie Hazzard, Beechwood High School senior, reacts to a chicken sandwich and other senior class favorites while picking up the special lunch deemed “The Last Patty” at Beechwood High School in Fort Mitchell, on April 21. Beechwood principal Justin Kaiser said: “We have been considering many ideas to help ease the hardship of missing the spring of their senior year. When our food services director Heather Mullins approached me about getting our seniors some chicken patties, due to their popularity, I was all in. Over the years there has been a controversy over the new versus the old chicken patty. This senior class has made it a passion of theirs to support the old chicken patty so we thought it ﬁ tting to give them their ‘Last Patty’.” PHOTOS BY ALBERT CESARE/THE ENQUIRER

Kim Lockard, A Beechwood High School food services employee, holds up a sign for Beechwood seniors. The cafeteria staff wanted to serve senior students one ﬁ nal meal, so they supplied lunch via a drive through system.

Donnie Piper laughs while speaking to Beechwood High School staff. Diane Mohney, a Beechwood High School food services employee, hands Jackson Vanderpool, Beechwood High School senior, his “Last Patty.”.

As I was going through my notes from you, it dawned on me again that this column is a journal of sorts. Of your lives and mine. And it’s not just about food. In the process of cooking more and eating at home more during this pandemic, we’re realizing that eating together without having to rush out somewhere has its advantages. We’re continuing to be more frugal. Not wasting – thinking twice about tossing out over ripe bananas (refrigerate or freeze and make banana bread later). Or bell peppers whose skin is wrinkly from languishing in the vegetable drawer (cut in half, remove seeds, smoosh halves down, drizzle with oil. Grill, roast or broil, skin side up. Skin, then freeze). Even ﬁ nding joy instead of frustration during a long wait at the store. Translates to yes, we’re starting to get back to normal, carefully. Local strawberries will be ripening soon, if not already. I’m thinking that may be the reason for strawberry pie requests. “Like Frisch’s, if you can,” one reader asked. Here’s what I call a “new and improved” version of my

Sports CovCath senior center Hupmann commits to NKU basketball James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Covington Catholic senior basketball standout Noah Hupmann has committed to play for Northern Kentucky University, CovCath athletic director Tony Bacigalupo confi rmed May 19. Hupmann, a 7-foot-1 center, transferred to CovCath for his senior season after growing up in Evansville, Indiana, where he played for Day School. Hupmann missed some time with illness this season but played 23 games, averaging six points per game, shooting 61 percent from the fl oor while averaging fi ve rebounds a contest. He helped CovCath fi nish 29-5 and win the Ninth Region championship for

the third straight year. The Colonels’ quest for a third state championship in seven seasons was cut short by the novel coronavirus pandemic. He had one of his biggest performances in CovCath’s most important game of the season, a 59-54 win over Highlands in the Ninth Region championship game. Hupmann scored 12 points on perfect 6-of-6 shooting, while grabbing ﬁ ve rebounds and blocking two shots. As a junior in Evansville, he averaged 16.6 points, 10.6 rebounds and 7.7 blocks per game, notching three triple-doubles. According to MaxPreps, Hupmann led the nation in blocks per game. He also was an IBCA Underclass Small School All-State selection.

“He alters a lot of shots, blocks a lot of shots,” head coach Scott Ruthsatz said in March. “He’s tough inside but he can also shoot. We can put him at the 15-foot range.” Hupmann will join a roster led by head coach Darrin Horn, who will enter his second season in charge of the Norse this fall. Horn’s son Walker was a sophomore backup guard on this year’s CovCath squad. Hupmann’s father, former University of Evansville standout Sascha Hupmann, died in April. Hupmann is the second 2020 CovCath graduate to commit to play in college. Senior point guard and Mr. Basketball ﬁ nalist Grant Disken committed to Division II Saint Leo in April.

What Gov. Andy Beshear said about the return of sports Kelly Ward Louisville Courier Journal USA TODAY NETWORK

It’s on everyone’s minds. When will sports be back? The NCAA Division I Council on May 20 voted to allow athletes in football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball to resume voluntary oncampus workouts, beginning June 1, USA TODAY Sports reported. The move lifts a prohibition that has been in place since March, when the coronavirus pandemic resulted in a variety of actions shuttering college sports, including the cancellation of the NCAA basketball tournaments.

“A lot could happen. And that’s why we don’t want to say ‘no’ but we do want to temper expectations.” Andy Beshear

Kentucky Governor

With June 1 coming up, here’s what Gov. Andy Beshear said when asked about the NCAA’s decision and sports returning during his May 20 press conference. “It’s still a little early to tell. I think where people are trending is games without fans because it’s the mass number when you have fans that can spread. But some sports have a lot of contact too. I want to be really cognizant that these are student-athletes, right? They’re not paid professionals. And we want to make sure that it is safe for them. Now they are a part of an See BESHEAR, Page 2B

Met golf championships to go on as scheduled James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

June was set up to be a month of “Majors” for the Greater Cincinnati Golf Association, and it still is. After months of uncertainty due to the coronavirus, the area’s biggest youth and amateur golf tournaments will go on as scheduled after the Ohio state government allowed competition in golf and other noncontact sports beginning May 26. Many golf courses had gradually reopened in recent weeks with safety restrictions in place. Social-distancing guidelines and safety protocols to eliminate physical touching will be in eﬀ ect for all tournaments. “We’re excited to get back to work and get back on the courses,” said Todd Johnson, the executive director of the GCGA. “Our main focus the last couple of months is seeing the courses maintain their memberships and agronomy, so tournaments have all of a sudden popped up for us.” The tournaments begin with the 1905 Junior Tour, which starts May 30 at Wildwood Golf Club in Middletown. The tour runs through July 10, which include the Metropolitan junior championships June 8-9 at Shaker Run Golf Club. Major adult tournaments are also right around the corner. The Northern Kentucky Amateur Championship is June 2-4 at Lassing Pointe. Registration deadline is May 26. The Metropolitan Women’s Ama-

teur Championship is June 10-11 at Wetherington Golf and Country Club, and the 111th Tony Blom Amateur Men’s Championship is June 22-27 at Heritage Club and Shaker Run. The Met senior championship is July 6-7 at Summit Hills Country Club. “The tournaments are a service for our membership,” Johnson said. “I’m excited that they’ll be able to play because most other sports have a lot of restrictions. We haven’t had to cancel anything. Everything in April and May was

postponed, then rescheduled. The Met is our U.S. Open, our version of a national championship.” Safety restrictions will be in place. Keeping six feet apart will be required and congregating in tee boxes is discouraged. Golf traditions such as exchanging scorecards, handshakes, high-ﬁ ves and trophy presentations are not allowed. Golfers should bring their own refreshments and each competitor See GOLF, Page 2B

Lavelle, Mahomes to honor local prep athletes Jason Hoffman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Patrick Mahomes II, quarterback for the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, will be one of the featured guest presenters for the Cincinnati.com Sports Awards on Thursday, June 18. Mahomes will announce the male and female athletes of the year, which are the top awards of the night. Mahomes, a native of Tyler, Texas, dazzled Chiefs fans during the 2019-20 season with come-from-behind rallies that ultimately led to the Chiefs’ ﬁ rst Super Bowl victory since their 1969 season. His poise and leadership during critical moments deﬁ ed his age, 24, and led to him becoming the youngest player in NFL history to be named the Super Bowl MVP. Mahomes joins a robust list of professional athletes who will be announcing the Player of the Year awards for each state-sanctioned sport covered during the show, including Venus Williams, Michael Phelps, Drew Brees, Wayne Gretzky, Gabby Douglas, Bode Miller, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Gary Woodland, Misty May-Treanor, Jordan Burroughs, Norm Duke, Rose Lavelle,

age group that respond the best to this virus in terms of health outcome, but they still get it. “I know that when we talk about youth sports, it’s going to be low contact sports. And then on the high contact sports, we’re going to try to come up with guidance that lets you do individual workouts and team practices that don’t involve the actual contact. Sow there’s a lot of contact in basketball. We don’t think about it the same way we do football, but there’s a lot of contact. Now if we get some guidance out there that would let people practice but not scrimmage, for instance, thoughts about having them spread out until we can get to the point where we

Again this isn’t a pool that’s open just for entertainment but if we can get the guidance right there for low contact sports that are out there. It’s still going to be a real challenge when we look in the fall or anytime without a vaccine to have 20,000, 30,000 fans in stands, but we don’t want to presuppose where the virus is going. “A lot could happen.

will be allowed only one spectator, though a course has the right to ban all spectators. Other golf course staples such as rakes and ball washers no longer exist. “Each course will handle things differently,” Johnson said. “Some courses won’t allow spectators, some courses won’t allow touch points such as tents. We’re used to having a routine and having every tournament run the same way, so we’ll have to adjust.” Johnson said enforcing social distancing on the course will be a new challenge for everyone. “Our biggest obstacle is monitoring people, seeing that they’re staying apart,” he said. “We won’t be using vol-

Not all state-sanctioned sports will be included in the Player of the Year awards due to spring sport cancellations required by the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, there will be a recognition of seniors who missed their ﬁ nal sports seasons as part of a national tribute video that will be included in the broadcast. The public can also show support of seniors who missed their ﬁ nal games and celebrations by joining in the national social media movement with support messages on Instagram and Twitter using the hashtag #DontStopNow. One person nationally who posted using #DontStopNow will win $1,000 for themselves and $1,000 for the charity of their choice.

Kids like to walk together on the fairways, so we have to make sure they’re not doing that.” As of Thursday, the Northern Kentucky Amateur had 64 entries and Johnson hopes to get more than 80. The Met tourneys are just starting to take entries. The women’s deadline is June 3 and men’s June 15. Johnson said it’s too soon to tell how the uncertainties over the novel coronavirus will aﬀ ect turnout for the tourneys. “The junior tour will probably be more attended because they’re probably not going to travel as much,” Johnson said. “With the adult tournaments, it’s hard to say right now because they’re going back to work and I don’t know if some of them will be able to.”

Coronavirus took bite out of April home sales Randy Tucker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Local home sales declined about 21% in April compared to the same month last year as home buyers hit the brakes hard amid the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the latest Re/Max National Housing Report, which covers 53 metro areas. But a corresponding decline in inventory helped buoy prices as buyers in an already tight real estate market were forced to compete for even fewer listings. “Homes are still selling for over list price, especially those priced at $300,000 and under,’’ said Donna Deaton, a realtor at Re/Max Victory in Liberty Township. “There are still a lot of buyers out there, we’re just limited on inventory like we have been for the past year or so.” The number of local listings fell last month by about 22% in year-to-year comparison to 1,706, according to the

Re/Max report, which covers Hamilton, Butler, Warren, Clermont, and Brown counties. The Cincinnati Area Board of Realtors (CABR) and the Northern Kentucky Association of Realtors (NKAR) both reported ﬁ gures Thursday morning that were in line with the Re/Max report. Sales were down about 20% in the Cincinnati area compared to April a year ago, and inventory was down about 25%, according to CABR, which covers a slightly larger swath of the local real estate market than Re/Max. Meanwhile, Northern Kentucky saw sales drop about 19%, according to NKAR. A dearth of inventory helped boost prices on both sides of the Ohio River. Re/Max said sales last month rose about 6%, to $198,350, compared to April a year ago. Meanwhile, CABR reported about a 3% gain in the median price to $190,000 over the same period.

The COVID-19 pandemic led to a 21% decline in local home sales for April compared to the same month last year. ENQUIRER FILE PHOTO

The median price in Northern Kentucky last month was up about 12% to $195,000 in year-to-year comparison, according to NKAR. While prices held up, COVID-19’s impact on the economy took its toll on buy-

ers during what is traditionally the year’s ﬁ fth-busiest month for home sales. Last month’s decline in local home sales was the steepest drop-oﬀ since January 2018 when sales declined 11.6% compared to the same month a year earlier, according to RE/MAX, which has been tracking Cincinnati’s real estate market since 2017. Deaton, who has been a realtor in the local market since 2004, said she hasn’t seen such a dramatic decline in more than a decade. “I really can’t remember that big of a reduction (in sales) other than when we were going into the 2008 recession,” she said. Still, it’s no surprise to her that home sales reversed in April as the pandemic pushed more buyers to the sidelines. “With a lot of buyers on furlough, we were in the middle of transactions that could no longer happen,” Deaton said. “Also, people were just concerned with what the future was going to look like.”

Winston Coppage has a reason to celebrate FORT MITCHELL, Ky. – There were doubts. Especially from mom. Becca Coppage, a walk-on basketball performer on the 2002 NCAA Division II national title team at Northern Kentucky University, had faith. “As a mother of a high-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder child, I was more than concerned,” she said. “And, at times I felt helpless.” Her son Winston was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder when he was only two-and-a-half years old, she said. “The specialists at Children’s Hospital told us we were fortunate to receive early diagnosis.” Fortunate is an understatement. Some eight years later Winston’s progress has been nothing short of amazing – thanks in part to the staﬀ at Redwood, Becca said. Redwood is the non-proﬁ t, special needs facility located in Northern Ken-

tucky that services some 750 clients from six-weeks of age to 84 years old. “When Winston fi rst arrived at Redwood,” Becca said, “he was completely non-verbal. Today, he is an expressive and articulate 10-year-old.” And he turns 11 on the 29th of this month. Winston Coppage just graduated Kenton County Elementary School – with honors. “He’s reading at grade level, and he’s an excellent speller,” says the proud mom. “In fact,” she added, “he recently received a Bronze medal for his testing scores from his eff orts taking the KPREP test at his school.” More than that, Winston was a member of the school’s bowling team, and made the A/B Honor Roll. But Winston Coppage isn’t fi nished with his work – nor Redwood. “He still sees Susan Wiley, MD at Children’s,” said Becca. “She has been with us the whole journey and met See COMMUNITY NEWS, Page 11B

Thank you for coming together by being apart. We know it isn’t easy. In times like these you want to be close to the people you care about most. It’s that caring spirit that has all of us coming together by being apart. It’s the kind of sacrifice that’s making a real difference, especially for older adults like the ones that call our independent living, assisted living and memory care communities home. Thank you for doing your part to not only keep yourself and your family safe, but the rest of us as well.

Most call it a day’s work at Redwood. Andy Furman, Redwood

Commonwealth Bank & Trust Co. announces relocation of branch in Edgewood Edgewood, Kentucky – May 18, 2020 – Commonwealth Bank & Trust Co. (CB&T) is pleased to announce the relocation of their branch in Edgewood, KY to at 591 Freedom Park Drive. The branch opened on May 18 following a six-fi gure renovation of the existing building on the property. The branch was previously located at 160 Barnwood Drive, near Thomas More College. “We are thrilled to be able to share our beautiful new location with residents and businesses in this community,” said Ann C. Wells, CEO of Commonwealth Bank. “As a customer-centric fi nancial institution, we believe the new technology, attentive staff and effi ciency of the new location are a great fi t for the personal and business banking needs of the area. Our holding company, Commonwealth Bancshares, originally opened the Edgewood Branch in 1996, and we have seen growth, year after year. We will

continue to support the people who live and work here.” As a full-service bank, Commonwealth Bank will off er the Edgewood community traditional in-branch services, as well as easy-to-use online and mobile banking options. The branch will continue to operate with three full-time employees and one part-time employee, as well as one mortgage loan offi cer. Corey Sidebottom remains in place as the Northern Kentucky Market Executive, Audra Kordenbrock as the Branch Manager/Business Development Offi cer and Lori Burdine as a Commercial Lender. Appointments can be made for Private Banking and Wealth Management Services with other members of their extended, knowledgeable team. While the new branch opened for regular business operations on Monday, May 18, 2020, access to the branch lobby will only be available by appointment due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Customers are encouraged to utilize the many alternatives available to bank at their convenience, including online and mobile banking, ATMs, drive thru and two Interactive Teller Machines (ITMs). Personal teller assistance is available at the ITM with the touch of a button. Customers can cash or deposit checks, make payments, transfer money between accounts and much more, all from the convenience of their vehicle. Corey Sidebottom, Northern Kentucky Market President, adds, “What I admire most about our team is the level of commitment with which they approach every customer. To us, even the smallest accounts matter, and quite honestly, some of these clients are our biggest community advocates. We are tremendously excited to service our customers in the new location, as well as welcome new clients to our banking family.“ CB&T will host a Grand Opening reception in late June to celebrate with the Edgewood community and surrounding areas.

Goodwill’s Northern Kentucky outlet stores re-open After 12 weeks of mandated closure, Ohio Valley Goodwill was thrilled to re-

open its Northern Kentucky retail stores including Bellevue, Florence and Independence as well as its Outlet store located in the village of Woodlawn. With the re-opening of these locations, fi fteen of the organization’s stores are now open and welcoming shoppers back. All stores are currently open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily and feature an array of Spring and Summer fashions. The three remaining boutique stores will reopen at a future date as business operations become more normal. Like many other businesses, the organization was closed during the mandated shut-down in response to the Coronavirus from late March until May 20. The Goodwill team took advantage of the time to thoroughly deep clean its 18 retail stores and collect and organize new Spring and Summer fashions for display when the stores were able to re-open. Shoppers will notice that Goodwill team members will be adhering to all health and safety recommendations from the Department of Health including the wearing of face masks, use of gloves, on-going wipe down of carts and all high touch surfaces, social distancing and everything needed to ensure the safety of our guests and our team members. The offi cial re-opening beginning May 12 and continuing through the month of May is the launch of the “Celebrate You!” campaign which is designed to thank shoppers for their support during the long closure of the organization’s network of retail stores. “We are delighted to fi nally have the opportunity to welcome back our wonderful shoppers and celebrate their support of our Goodwill stores as well as our mission of service. As most of our customers know, when they shop Goodwill, they are also helping individuals with disabilities and our nation’s veterans to get jobs in the community. Our Northern Kentucky stores were in Phase 4 of our planned re-opening process and we appreciate our customers patience. The recent closure was fi nancially very tough on the organization and we are looking forward to re-building and strengthening our ability to continue our mission of service,” said Jeff Eastham, Operations Director.
