Mangine family left with an unwanted new normal St. Henry soccer player Matt Mangine Jr. died suddenly after soccer training drills Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

UNION, Ky - At 16, Matt Mangine Jr. had the world in front of him. As an allpurpose standout player for the Kings Hammer soccer club, the soon-to-be junior was about to be heavily involved in the college recruiting process. Then, at a training session Tuesday, June 16, at St. Henry District High School, he collapsed and never recovered. Grandparents Bob and Marsha Mangine have had the unenviable task of comforting his parents, Matt and Kim, while also grieving the loss of a treasured grandson. “He was a big-time level soccer player,” Bob Mangine said. “He really had some skill. I know that end of the business. He could play.” Added father Matt Mangine, “This was going to be the year. He had his goals of where he wanted to be. Obviously, with COVID, it stopped. We lost 80% of the club season. It’s a complicated time for us.” Numerous soccer organizations and followers, including Kings Hammer, have tweeted out sympathies for the Mangine family over the last 48 hours.

“Our hearts are breaking, and we are beyond devastated with the news.” David Otte

Though St. Henry initially didn’t identify him, the family experienced the spread of social media and had the extra burden of ﬁ guring out how to privately grieve. “Our hearts are breaking, and we are beyond devastated with the news that a member of the St. Henry boys soccer team collapsed on the ﬁ eld during training last night and passed away,” St. Henry principal David Otte said in a statement June 17. “We extend See MANGINE, Page 2A

Construction continues at the site of the future Andrew J Brady ICON Music Center at The Banks in downtown Cincinnati on Tuesday, June 16. It has indoor and outdoor event space, which can host different events at the same time. It has a capacity of 4,500 indoors, with general admission seating for 2,700 people.

Hilltop making way for Cincinnati Bengals and music venue, moves headquarters to Covington Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A concrete company that swapped land with the Cincinnati Bengals to allow for a new tailgating parking lot near Paul Brown Stadium will also relocate its headquarters from a Downtown offi ce to Northern Kentucky. Concrete company Hilltop Basic Resources will move its headquarters on July 31 to the RiverCenter, a tower offi ce complex on Covington’s riverfront across from Downtown Cincinnati, according to a Covington release. The company’s existing headquarters at Fourth and Vine Tower in Cincinnati is being converted from offi ces to apartments, according to the release. The move of the headquarters and 20 jobs to Covington is a $3.3 million investment in Covington, according to the city’s release. The company will occupy 9,500-square-feet inside the RiverCenter I tower at 50 E. RiverCenter Blvd., according to the release. The company employs 240 people Hilltop will also relocate from 17acres full of cement mixer trucks and gravel, at 511 Water Street along the Ohio River. The family-owned Hilltop, in its 79th year, agreed to sell its 17-acre site at 511 Water St., Cincinnati to Hamilton County in October 2019. The deal enabled the county to swap land with the Cincinnati Bengals so a music venue could be built on land controlled by the Bengals. The music venue, named Andrew J Brady ICON Music Center at The Banks is now under construction. It is an extension of Smale Riverfront Park. The Hilltop land will become a tailgate park for the Bengals. The new space in Covington makes aesthetic and economic sense, said Hilltop’s president Kevin Sheehan in the release. Hilltop’s headquarters relocation from Cincinnati was announced at a recent Covington City Commission’s meeting, according to the release. “We look forward to moving into our new headquarters in Covington, which will give us an attractive, professional

our deepest condolences to his family and friends and we are praying for them during this very diffi cult time.” As word leaked out, Matt Sr. and his father put together a statement June 17 expressing the family’s immeasurable grief. They waited until June 18 to actually speak. Matt Sr., thus far, has tried not to read anything about the incident, fi nding it diffi cult. “When you have kids and you look it up in the book, he’s the defi nition of the kid that you want,” Bob Mangine said. “We’re going to miss him dearly. We lost a wonderful grandson and son.” The family estimates about 70 people gathering at their home for prayers and well wishes for the young man who often

wore his hat backward, constantly smiled and probably had more friends than he might have imagined. “We’ve had a lot of love and support from his friends and from our friends and neighbors,” Matt Sr. said. Matt and Kim have a younger son, Joseph. They allowed him to have friends over to keep his mind oﬀ the tragedy. The Mangines are trying to ﬁ nd ways to help him understand the loss

of a brother he idolized. The 2020 popular term “new normal” has taken on another meaning for the young family from Union. “This is my new normal and I’m going to have to learn how to deal with it,” Matt Sr. said.

most recently worked with the Bearcat football and basketball teams as well as other UC athletes. A nationally-known expert in many fi elds of sports medicine, Bob Mangine said there is not much known about how or why Matt Jr. collapsed. Bob’s wife, Marsha, is also a long-time athletic trainer. “That’s probably the most diffi cult part of this whole process,” Mangine said. “My family’s been in athletics forever. We know all the risks and stuff . To have it happen to our son and grandson, there are no words to describe the devastation that we’re in right now.” As is the case in tragic situations, St. Henry has counselors available to anyone who needs them.

U.S. Playing Card to join $100M+ Norwood project Randy Tucker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A new $100 million-plus, mixed-use development is underway on the former site of the United States Playing Card Co. in Norwood. Crews are demolishing several buildings on the vacant property at 4590 Beech St. to make way for hundreds of new residential units, restaurants and retail outlets, a new parking garage and a community park. The playing card company, which moved its operations to Erlanger in 2009, even has plans to return to the site as part of the development, according to the Sycamore Township-based developer, PLK Communities. “U.S. Playing Card will have something in the development, whether it’s a small gift shop or something bigger,” Nick Lingenfelter, vice president of development for PLK, told The Enquirer. “They have verbally committed to have some part in the development, we just don’t know what that looks like right now.’’ PLK plans to redevelop the 21-acre site in three phases, starting with approximately 220 residential units and up to 20 townhomes for sale. The ﬁ rst phase will also include a giant market hall – with

stalls selling food and other items – and farmer’s market complex that will anchor the development’s central core. That will be surrounded by green spaces, including a family park, dog park and central pavilion with a performance stage. “We know the heartbeat of this development will be the public gathering places and the market hall,” Lingenfelter said. “Our goal is, and has always been, to create a regional gathering place that city

of Norwood can be proud of.” PLK also plans to repurpose several of the buildings that were once part of the U.S. Paying Card operation, which made such brands as Bicycle, Bee, Aviator and Aristocrat. The building that housed the company’s cafeteria and machine shop, for example, will be used for the market hall. And the original four-story factory building will be remade into a parking ga-

rage with retail spaces on the fi rst fl oor and three additional fl oors of apartments on top, Lingenfelter said. Plans also call for the iconic clock tower on the property to be restored and incorporated into the development. PLK is also working to bring a brewery to the site and hopes to attract other niche retailers and restaurants that will promote a walkable entertainment district, Lingenfelter said. “We understand that smaller businesses are struggling right now, but we also know that the small business uniqueness is what our clients and the public want,” he said. “We will have to be creative in how we get them here, but we have already been fi elding a lot of phone calls from people wanting to be a part of the project.” Eventually, PLK – which is working with Charlotte, N.C.-based architectural fi rm, Shook Kelley Inc., on the project – hopes to add a hotel and commercial offi ce space to the mix. Environmental remediation of the site was recently completed, and demolition is expected to be fi nished by August. “We are hoping to be able to start construction in the fi rst half of 2021 with an 18-24-month construction time frame for the fi rst phase,” Lingenfelter said.

The Newport Aquarium reopens. Here’s what to expect Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Newport Aquarium has ﬁ nally reopened after nearly 100 days of closures due to the coronavirus pandemic and like most places, things are going to look very diﬀ erent. Starting Monday, the Newport Aquarium will be open exclusively for Annual Passholders. Starting Thursday, the aquarium will open for everyone. Fewer guests will be allowed inside the aquarium due to hourly capacity, which means people will have more space to view the animals they’ve missed out on. Additionally, face masks or face coverings will be required for all visitors ages 3 and older and those wanting to enter

the aquarium will be given a temperature screening. Offi cials said all guests will need to get tickets in advance of arriving at the aquarium including Annual Passholders, who need to make advance reservations online. “We’ve been planning and looking forward to this day for three months,” Newport Aquarium Executive Director Eric Rose said in a statement. “Guests come here to see our amazing animals but the closure reminds us that it’s also the people that make it special in so many ways. We’re thrilled to have guests back enjoying the aquarium like it’s meant to be.” Offi cials said guests will fi nally be able to experience Shipwreck: Realm of the Eels, the new exhibit that opened just ten

Here’s what to expect when you go:

VIEWPOINTS Watch out for Medigap policy changes Simply Money Amy Wagner & Nathan Bachrach Guest columnists

Question. Jeff in Middletown: My friend has Medigap Plan F and he really likes the coverage. He recommended I get that plan as well, but I can’t fi nd it among my options. Is this plan no longer available? A: There are a couple of things to unpack here. First, let’s explain the basic concept of a Medigap policy (also known as Medicare Supplement Insurance): Since Original Medicare doesn’t cover all retirement healthcare costs such as co-payments, co-insurance, and deductibles, private insurance companies sell Medigap policies to help cover some of these expenses. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, as of 2016, close to three in 10 Original Medicare benefi ciaries (about nine million people) have a Medigap policy. Second, yes, some things have changed in regard to certain Medigap plans. Basically, depending on your state, newly eligible Medicare benefi ciaries now have two to

three fewer Medigap plan options as of January 1, 2020: They can no longer buy Plan F, Plan C, or the high-deductible version of Plan F. This is because Medigap plans are no longer allowed to cover the Medicare Part B deductible, and those plans allow just that. And, because we’ve seen some confusion around this like it sounds like you’re experiencing, we want to be explicitly clear: Plan F, Plan C, and the high-deductible Plan F are still an option – but only if someone is already enrolled in one of them (which is likely the case with your friend). For anyone who qualiﬁ ed for Medicare beginning this year, these three plans are not available. (Note: If you were eligible for Medicare before January 1, 2020, but had not yet enrolled, you still might be able to buy one of these three Medigap plans.) Here’s The Simply Money Point: Your Medigap options are likely different than your friend’s, so be sure to do your research. You can compare plans at Medicare.gov. Also, keep in mind that buying a Medigap policy in conjunction with Original Medicare might not be the best approach for your Medicare strategy to begin with – perhaps a

Your Medigap options are likely different than your friend’s, so be sure to do your research. Medicare Advantage plan is a better option. A credentialed fi nancial advisor should be able to help you make this decision. Q. S.M. from Kenton County: Someone at work told me I can only save in a Roth IRA after I hit my 401(k) limit. Is this true? Because there’s no way I’ll be hitting that limit this year, but I still want to save a little in a Roth. A: Your co-worker is incorrect. You can save in a Roth IRA and a 401(k) simultaneously. The one rule you need to be careful about is the Roth IRA income limit: In 2020, if you’re a single tax fi ler, you cannot contribute to a Roth IRA if your modifi ed adjusted gross income (MAGI) is more than $139,000 ($206,000 if married and fi ling jointly). If your MAGI is between $124,000 and $139,000, the amount you can contribute is reduced (between $196,000 and $206,000 if married). And, if you’ve read this column before, you likely know that we really love the idea of saving in different types of retirement

accounts. Why? Because you’re spreading out your tax obligations. Remember, you get a tax break now with your 401(k) and you’ll pay taxes on withdrawals in retirement; with a Roth IRA you contribute after-tax money, but then the account grows tax free. If your employer oﬀ ers a Roth 401(k), consider saving some in that as well (bonus: no income limit!). The Simply Money Point is that your train of thought is a good one – diversifying the tax treatments of your retirement accounts is a savvy money move. So, go ahead and save in a Roth IRA and 401(k) at the same time. Every week, Allworth Financial’s Nathan Bachrach and Amy Wagner answer your questions in their Simply Money column.

It was a request from a reader that inspired this column. “You told us we could freeze really ripe bananas to save for banana bread. I have several in the freezer and need the space. How about a recipe?” This reader speaks for a lot of folks out there who wound up with extra fruit, especially bananas, when we were all quarantined. I understand that banana bread was one of the most requested recipes during that time. I pulled a couple from my ﬁ les which I may have shared before with slight adaptations. The ﬁ rst recipe is a vintage one, using full fat sour cream. Maybe you’ll like the second recipe – supposed to be a clone of Bob Evans’s famous sweet banana bread. Just be sure and use really ripe bananas, you know the ones that are speckled well with dark spots. The darker the better! They are the sweetest and best to use.

GOAT: Greater Cincinnati high school football state championship teams Mark Schmetzer Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Welcome to the next installment of the Enquirer’s and Cincinnati.com’s efforts to determine the best of the best – the greatest and most dominant of our local state champions. This time, we identify the best of the area’s football state champions, starting with …

No. 10 – 2009 Winton Woods Quarterback Dominique Brown, an Associated Press Division II co-Off ensive Player of the Year, and fi rst-team allstate running back Jeremiah Goins, fueled an off ense that averaged 47.6 points in fi ve playoff games and won the by an average margin of 34 points after going 8-2 in the regular season. They included a 69-35 win over Columbus Marion-Franklin in a state semifi nal and a convincing 42-12 win over Maple Heights in the championship game. Brown scored four touchdowns in the championship game. Avery Cunningham was a fi rst-team all-state defensive back for the Warriors.

No. 9 – 2010 Newport Central Catholic A narrow one-point loss to Beechwood might’ve been just what the 13-2 Thoroughbreds needed as a wakeup call. Led by quarterback Brady Hightchew and two-way star Chris Kelly, NCC scored at least 42 points in each of its ﬁ ve Class 2A tournament games and enjoyed a combined average winning margin of 38.2 points, including a 70-21 ﬁ rst-round win over Owen County and a 42-0 shutout of Owensboro Catholic in the championship game. Kelly gained 170 yards

and scored two touchdowns and ﬁ nished tied for second with six tackles in the ﬁ nal.

No. 8 – 2018 Wyoming Evan Prater, an Ohio Prep Sportswriters Association Division IV fi rst-team all-state quarterback, and fi rst-team receiver Joey Edmonds were mainstays of an off ense that average 42.1 points per game on the way to fi nishing 15-0. The Cowboys were tested by Cincinnati Hills League-rival Indian Hill in the tournament’s second round, winning by three points, but they won every other game by at least three touchdowns, including a 42-14 win over Girard in the championship game. First-team all-state linebacker Hasan Black led a defense that posted four shutouts and allowed just seven points in fi ve other games.

No. 7 – 2012 Highlands The 14-1-0 Bluebirds went undefeated in Kentucky, including a ﬁ ve-game Class 4A tournament run during which they won by an average of 35.2 points and scored an average of 48.8 points per game. Highlands capped the run with a 47-0 win over Collins in the championship game, led by quarterback Donovan McCoy, who went 10-of-15 for 153 yards and two touchdowns through the air and gained 105 yards and scored two touchdowns on 15 carries. Zach Harris also scored two touchdowns while gaining 96 yards on 14 carries.

No. 6 – 1979 Moeller Three Crusaders – center Joe Apke, running back Eric Ellington and linebacker Rick Naylor – earned AP Class AAA ﬁ rst-team all-state honors for

statewide poll-champion Moeller, which fi nished 12-0 and dominated the two-round playoff s. Moeller romped to wins of 31-7 over Toledo Whitmer in the semifi nals and 41-7 over Parma Padua Franciscan in the championship game. The Crusaders scored touchdowns on all four of their title-game fi rst half possessions to take a commanding 27-7 lead into the halftime locker room.

No. 5 – 1985 CAPE Running back Carlos Snow was the Cincinnati Academy of Physical Education’s only AP Class AA ﬁ rst-team allstate pick, but the Crusaders had enough weapons on both sides of the ball to go 14-0 and win the school’s ﬁ rst state championship. While the AP was clinging to its three-class format for allstate teams and polls, CAPE cruised through the Division IV tournament behind Snow, quarterback Enoch Fitzhugh, fullback Tracy Dula, linebacker Dante Johnson, defensive back Vinnie Clark and two-way tackle Tony Gilbert, who was named second-team all-state on defense. The Crusaders allowed only six points in four tournament games, none in the last three for an average winning margin of 29.3 points.

Matt Guy hits mark as world's best cornhole player Not long ago I heard tell of a man who could toss a cornhole bag from one side of his house to the other, over the garage roof, onto the cornhole board and into the hole. Legend had it he was an ordinary man, neither large nor small nor possessing superhuman powers. Just a guy – literally, his name is Matt Guy – working a normal job selling cleaning supplies for a local company. Three kids, two dogs, a wife. But also an eight-time world cornhole champion, a man who once threw 56 cornholes in a row, has a sponsor and is treated like a god (or like Elvis, which is about the same thing) whenever he walks into the cornhole tournament arena. “People from around the world want to pick my brain,’’ the man says. He’s Elvis entering the building. “When I walk in, you can see the heads turn. I carry extra bags, to sign.’’ Go ahead and laugh, but I’m betting you’ve never been Best In The World at anything. Matt Guy, 49, Northern Kentucky lifer, is the best cornhole player in the world. And so it came to be that on this most memorable and awesome of Thursday afternoons, I was in Matt Guy’s front yard in Alexandria, Kentucky, watching cornhole bags ﬂ y over his garage roof. “Short,’’ his son Carson, 14, says. Carson is standing in the front yard by the board, phone video rolling, on the chance his dad drops a throw right into the hole. It’d be great video for Matt’s website. Matt is maybe 100 feet away, in the back yard, turn-throwing a personalized bag ﬁ lled with plastic pellets over the roof of the garage. “Left,’’ Carson says. All feats of greatness come from humble beginnings. Matt Guy started out in Cold Spring, KY, pitching horseSee CORNHOLD , Page 2B

No. 4 – 1998 Highlands Quarterback Jared Lorenzen and his running mate, tight end Derek Smith, capped their Bluebird careers with a dominant performance, averaging 53.4 points per game and allowing an average of 13.5. Their closest regular-season win was 51-41 over Male in the opener. Their closest of ﬁ ve Class AAA tournament games was a 16-point win over See FOOTBALL , Page 2B

Matt Guy, eight-time world cornhole champion PAUL DAUGHERTY/THE ENQUIRER

Bunning had a perfect Father’s Day in 1964 Larry Shenk Special to Delaware Online

CAMPBELL COUNTY – It was only fi tting that Jim Bunning, then a father of seven, would do something special when he took the mound in 90-degree heat at Shea Stadium on Father’s Day back on June 21, 1964. Bunning pitched a perfect game against the New York Mets on that Sunday afternoon in a 6-0 Phillies’ win. It was the fi rst perfect game in the National League since John Ward, pitching for Providence, blanked Buff alo 5-0 on

June 7, 1890. Bunning struck out 10, including pinch-hitter John Stephenson to end the masterpiece, in the ﬁ rst game of a doubleheader. Of the 90 pitches he threw, only 21 were out of the strike zone. He had a three-ball count twice. He never threw more than 13 pitches in an inning. “My slider was my best pitch and I had a pretty good curve,” Bunning said after the game. “I had just as good stuﬀ in my other no-hitter (in 1958, while pitching for the Detroit Tigers), but I think I’m a better pitcher now.”

The only potential hit was wiped out by a sensational diving stop by second baseman Tony Taylor off a line drive by Jesse Gonder in the fi fth inning. Taylor knocked the ball down, crawled after it, picked it up and threw in time to get Gonder at fi rst base. Generally, when a pitcher is working on a no-hitter, it is bad karma to talk about it during the game, and the pitcher will often sit by himself. Bunning did the opposite as he described in the book, “Jim Bunning, Baseball and Beyond,” written by Frank Dolson. “The other guys thought I was crazy,

but I didn’t want anyone tightening up,” Bunning said in the book. “Most of all, I didn’t want to tighten up myself. I started thinking about it around the ﬁ fth inning. By then, you know you have a chance.” “He acted like he knew something early,” Phillies manager Gene Mauch said after the game. “He was moving the inﬁ elders around early. Then late in the game when he was coming back to the dugout, he was yelling: ‘Nine more (outs)! Six more! Three more! Do someSee BUNNING, Page 2B

shoes with his dad at picnics on weekends. He wasn’t good at it, but he was attentive. He noticed the best pitchers turned their wrists 180 degrees just before they followed through, launching the two-pound, 10-ounce shoe 40 feet. Within a year, Matt was a top-10 horseshoe pitcher in the world. (Yes, there is such a ranking.) Fast-forward to 2000. Matt is driving a bread truck on the west side of Cincinnati, when he spies a small sign promoting a cornhole tournament that weekend. Matt says, "Hmmm." Throwing a one-pound square bag fi lled with plastic pellets requires the same wrist turn as horseshoes. “The bag comes out of your hand spinning and fl at, which is what you want,’’ Matt explains. “Top four fi ngers sit on it, underneath, not squeezing. Thumb on top. Don’t throw it. Let it slide out of your hand.’’ Matt picked it up cornhole easily and quickly got good at it. Or as he puts it, “I was instantly destroying everybody.’’ Cornhole might be the essential backyard, beer-drinkin, backslappin’ pastime. Even now, two decades later, Matt occasionally will enter events at church festivals and such. But by 2005, he was big time, helped along by another local guy, Frank Geers, president and CEO of the American Cornhole Organization. Guy met Geers at a cornhole event hosted by former Bengals QB Carson Palmer.

Sheldon Clark in the semiﬁ nals, but they followed up with a 56-7 trouncing of Weggener in the championship game. Lorenzen threw for 3,392 yards and 45 touchdowns while completing 62.6 percent of his passes. He also ran for 904 yards and 15 TD and earned Mr. Football.

No. 3 – 2004 Colerain Lineman Terrill Byrd, the AP Division I Defensive Player of the Year, and ﬁ rst-

Geers had big plans for cornhole. Matt was all in. For six consecutive years, 2006-2010, Matt Guy won the world cornhole singles title. “On the board!’’ Carson yells. Matt’s latest spinning toss over the garage roof has landed on the bottom of the board and bounced to within four inches of the hole. Matt explains that the spinning caused by the wrist turn ensures the bag will fl y fl at, then slide straight when it hits the board, not left or right. This is essential to cornhole greatness. Matt’s rise mirrored his sport’s. He started by searching the web for tournaments. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. Kentucky, West Virginia. Now, he’s on the road 4045 weekends a year and his trips are sponsored by Slick Woody’s, a maker of boards, bags and cornhole apparel. Matt even has his own line or cornhole-abilia on his website, Guy Nation. The world championship used to feature 64 players. Now, you have to qualify for it, by accumulating points in tournaments throughout the year. One of those, the ACO Major, is this weekend at the Western Hills Live sports mall. Players from all over the country, as well as Germany, Australia and Canada, are entered in the world championships. The equipment has evolved, too. No one serious about cornhole uses a bag fi lled with corn. “Mice love them,’’ Matt explains. “Corn breaks down, turns to powder and the bags are mush.’’ Some boards used to be made of paneling (too thin) which caused the bags to bounce. Some boards weren’t smooth. “You had to have a repertoire of

throws back in the day, to adjust for the board,’’ Matt says. He has his own boards now, with the Slick Woody’s logo. Matt and his son Bret – 2013 world champion at age 19 – travel the circuit in Matt’s 2011 Chevy Cruze, up to 20,000 miles a year. They’ve been world doubles champs twice. “I cannot tell you how many times I get up at 5 a.m. on a Saturday, drive six to 10 hours, play in a tournament and drive back home,” Matt told an interviewer not long ago. “When our kids were younger, we vacationed in Florida. I’d play in tournaments on the way to Florida and again in Florida. The money I won paid for our vacations.” Matches are one game, tournaments are usually double-elimination. Cincinnati used to be the “mega-base’’ of cornhole, says Matt. In the past decade, its prominence has slipped dramatically. Matt’s has not. In July, he will play in this year’s world championships in Columbia, South Carolina, for a shot at $5,000. “To the right,’’ says Carson. Matt has tossed 24 bags. None has found the mark. Three hit the board on the ﬂ y; one of them skimmed the hole. Not even Cornhole Elvis can blindly nail a cornhole from 100 feet away, on the other side of the garage. Not on this day, anyway. Matt sets up two boards back to back, their holes a couple inches apart. He grabs two bags in his right hand. The goal is to drop each of the bags into the hole. This trick might be harder than the other one, he says. The two bags spin and ﬂ y and. . .

team all-state linebacker Andre Revels led a swarming Cardinals defense that allowed an average of 6.5 points per game on the way to going 15-0 and winning the state championship. Running back Mister Simpson, a third all-state fi rst-teamer, led the off ense that helped Colerain win fi ve tournament games by an average of 34.5 points, including a 5010 whipping of Canton McKinley in the championship game that set big-school championship-game records for most points and widest margin.

yards and 40 touchdowns and running back Casey McGinness gained 1,418 yards and scored 22 touchdowns as the Colonels rolled through their 15-game schedule that climaxed with a Class 5A state championship. Covington Catholic scored at 35 points in every game while never giving up more than the 17 Ryle managed in the season-opener. The Colonels scored 49 points in three of their ﬁ ve tournament games, including the 49-13 win over Madison Southern in the championship game. Mayer threw for three touchdowns and ran for three more in the championship game.

thing out there. Dive for the balls.’” With the Shea Stadium fans on their feet and cheering, Bunning took the mound for the ninth inning. With two outs to go, Bunning motioned Triandos to the mound. “He calls me out and says I should tell him a joke or something, just to give him a breather,” Triandos said. “I couldn’t think of any. I just laughed at him.” Bunning struck out pinch-hitter George Altman for his ninth strikeout of the game. Up came Stephenson, who had a batting average of .047. . Stephenson swung and missed at the fi rst pitch. The second pitch was a called strike. Then a curveball outside, another one outside, then a swing and a miss to end the game. Bunning pounded his fi st into his glove and his teammates fl ooded the fi eld, while Mets fans continued to cheer.

Phillies pitcher Jim Bunning caps off his perfect game by striking out the Mets' John Stephenson on June 21, 1964. It was the ﬁ rst perfect game in Phillies' history. COURTESY OF THE PHILLIES

The Crusaders only had two tournament games to prove themselves, but led by two Class AAA fi rst-team all-state picks, quarterback Tim Koegel and offensive tackle Jim Brown, they took full advantage. Running back Steve Givens was one of fi ve Moeller players to score touchdowns, contributing three in a 48-0 win over Youngstown Cardinal Mooney in one semifi nal. Koegel threw two touchdown passes. The Crusaders followed up with a 43-4 win over Gahanna Lincoln to complete a 12-0 season with an average playoff winning margin of 43 points. “I think this is the best team we’ve ever had,” coach Gerry Faust said.

Tele-therapy comes to Redwood It’s never too late to try something new. And that’s exactly what Peggy Farmer – Redwood’s Director, Therapeutic Intervention – is doing at the Northern Kentucky nonprofi t, special needs facility. “We started looking into tele-therapy in midMarch when Covid-19 forced Redwood to suspend operations for their Farmer clients,” said Mrs. Farmer, who celebrates 25 years serving Redwood this month. “We researched it and did some webinars.” Redwood services some 750 clients – from six-weeks of age to 85 years old – and today provides tele-therapy services for occupational, physical and speech therapy as well as developmental intervention. “It’s totally diff erent from face-toface therapy,” says the 63-year-old Farmer, “yet it has proven to be a very effective form of therapy during the health crisis and has allowed us to off er uninterrupted services for most of our clients.” Families have been very appreciative of having this option, according to Farmer, a native of Dolton, South Dakota. “One reason this form of therapy has been so eff ective,” she said, “is the increased involvement of family members and caregivers as they participate in the session along with the client.” Farmer claims this allows for better understanding of the strategies used and more carryover in daily routines. The transition from face-to-face therapy to tele-therapy in mid-March was a learning experience for both clients and therapists. None of the Redwood therapists had ever participated in tele-therapy before. “One thing we did learn,” said Farmer, a Child Development major at South Da-

kota State University, “was that the materials we had been using in face-to-face therapy just didn’t work in tele-therapy. Fortunately, we were able to fi nd many resources, some designed specifi cally for tele-therapy and some that could be used for both forms of therapy,” she said. Redwood is servicing some 99 clients of all ages, from early intervention (birth- three years) to adults via teletherapy, notes Farmer, who received her MA in Early Childhood, Special Education from the University of Kentucky. “Some of the clients being serviced are with more than one discipline,” she said. “We’re working with 10 full and part-time therapists,” she said. And as for the results – they speak for themselves: From: Heidi Overwine, on her son: John “Atticus” Overwine, age six, diagnosed with autism: “I really appreciate you off ering teletherapy. It’s so good for Atticus to get to continue OT during these times. He did much better last week and I think he is getting used to it versus face-to-face. I am sure it wasn’t an easy process to shift your agency to the virtual world; but we are so grateful for your eff orts to bring your amazing therapists into our homes.” Andy Furman, Redwood

Girl Scouts of Kentucky’s Wilderness Road invites the community to join ‘Troop 1912’ Girl Scouts of Kentucky’s Wilderness Road (GSKWR) is encouraging adult members of the Kentucky community to shape the next generation of Kentucky female leaders by joining Troop 1912, a collective of adults willing to become sustained ﬁ nancial partners of GSKWR. Troop 1912 members are monthly contributors who support vital, life changing programming through Girl Scouting. At a time when ﬂ exibility and innovation are critical, GSKWR has adapted quickly, shifting traditionally in-person programming to virtual programs and workshops to keep girl members engaged during COVID-19. Now GSKWR is asking adults in the Kentucky community to join a ‘virtual troop’ of their own –– Troop 1912. The effort earned its name as a tribute to the year Girl Scouts was founded and calls on those who are passionate about sup-

porting girl leadership to join the legacy. As an unrivaled opportunity for girls to develop strong values, challenge themselves, and contribute to society as leaders, Girl Scouts stands on more than a century of experience as the leading example and steadfast advocate for girls. Consistent funding is vital to further develop new digital and virtual opportunities that will continue building girls into strong leaders. “The establishment of Troop 1912 is vital to help sustain this incredible organization which develops our girl leaders of tomorrow. By gathering a community of regular donors – former Girl Scouts or not – male or female – our goal is to help Girl Scouts of Kentucky’s Wilderness Road continue off ering incredible programs for girls of all ages,” said Carol Beirne, GSKWR Board Member and President of the Board Emeritus. With programming pillars in STEM, Outdoor Adventure, Life Skills and Entrepreneurship, Girl Scouts of Kentucky’s Wilderness Road is committed to offering rigorous learning opportunities that encourage girls and young women to explore their passions and cultivate change. “Troop 1912 off ers anyone who believes in our mission of building girls of courage, confi dence, and character, the opportunity to partner with Girl Scouts of Kentucky’s Wilderness Road in a meaningful and sustainable way,” said Susan Douglas, GSKWR’s Chief Executive Offi cer. “We are grateful and proud to be a Council with generous role models willing to lead the way in supporting life-changing programing,” she continued. By joining Troop 1912 in 2020, the troop’s inaugural year, members will be listed on the Troop’s original charter, an honor and memorable recognition. Additionally, participants will receive a one-year troop membership, an exclusive membership pin, invitations to exclusive events, and recognition on GSKWR’s annual report and website, along with other exclusive benefi ts. To join Troop 1912 simply commit to a recurring monthly donation of $19.12 or more (or annual gift of $250 or higher). To obtain additional details and join Troop 1912, visit: www.gskentucky.org/ troop1912. Amy Greene, Girl Scouts of Kentucky’s Wilderness Road

Leftovers and food safety You might have leftovers from the takeout you ordered or after all the family dinners you’ve cooked this week. Whatever the case, proper handling of leftovers is essential to avoid any risk of foodborne illness. You should refrigerate leftover food as soon as possible and reheat it to a safe temperature before eating again. Follow the guidelines below to ensure the safety of your leftovers. Refrigerate or freeze quickly. Do not allow leftovers to sit at room temperature for longer than 2 hours. This includes travel time from the restaurant. Throw out any food that has been sitting out for longer than 2 hours. Wrap well. Cover leftovers tightly with plastic wrap or store them in airtight containers. This will help keep bacteria out and maintain the best quality. Reheat safely. Reheat leftovers to 165 degrees F. Always use a food thermometer to make sure the food has reached this temperature. You can reheat in the microwave, on the stovetop, or in the oven. You can safely reheat frozen leftovers without thawing ﬁ rst, just allow for a little longer cooking time. • Microwave reheating – cover food when reheating in the microwave in order to maintain moisture. You may even want to add a little water or broth to improve quality. Rotate and stir the food midway through cooking to ensure even heating. Allow the food to rest for at least a minute before checking the temperature. • Stovetop reheating – cover food to help retain moisture. Bring soups, sauces, and gravies to a rolling boil before eating. Adding liquid may improve quality. Store safely. You should eat leftover food stored in the refrigerator within 3 to 4 days. You should eat frozen leftovers within 3 to 4 months. Be sure to label and date before storing. When in doubt, throw it out.

NKU joins four other Kentucky universities in tuition freeze Erin Glynn Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Students at Northern Kentucky University will not have their tuition increased this fall, after a Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE) decision announced Friday. NKU joins four other Kentucky public universities – Western Kentucky University, Kentucky State University, Morehead State University and Murray State University – in the decision, which aims to help students as they

deal with ﬁ nancial uncertainty as a result of the novel coronavirus pandemic. The tuition freeze applies to both instate and out-of-state students. CPE did not cap tuition for the 202021 academic year but instead recommended that universities limit tuition increases. Kentucky State University will also be decreasing tuition for out-of-state undergraduate students by $7,450, and Murray State will be lowering tuition for ﬁ rst-time, out-of-state students who enroll this summer or fall.

Students at NKU will not have their tuition increased this fall. Northern Kentucky University joins four other Kentucky public universities in the decision. RYAN TERHUNE / THE ENQUIRER

SCHOOL NEWS NewCath hires Kroger as new cheer coach Newport Central Catholic is happy to announce that it has hired Samantha Kroger as its new cheerleading coach. Kroger graduated from Newport Central Catholic in 2013. When asked about her new coaching position Kroger said, “I am so excited to be back with my NCC family. This school holds a special place in my heart, and I feel blessed and honored to join the athletic department as Head Cheerleading Coach.” Kroger cheered for the Thoroughbreds as a student-athlete and continued her years of cheer experience having cheered on the Varsity Team for the University of Cincinnati. While there her team collectively placed 5th and 6th in the D1 division at UCA Nationals. She competed in the NCA partner stunt competition in Daytona, FL, placing 2nd nationally. She has been a part of the UCA cheer staﬀ and remains involved in the cheer world. In August, she will graduate with her masters degree from Vanderbilt as a Nurse Practitioner. Kroger said, “I am excited to start my

tion to the NCC cheerleading program.” More details concerning cheerleading tryouts will be forthcoming. Please contact Coach Kroger (skroger@ncchs.com) or Jeﬀ Schulkens (jschulkens@ncchs.com) if you are interested in cheer. https://www.ncchs.com/ news/2020/6/17/kroger-hired-asnew-cheerleading-coach Tessy B.

Cinfed announces six scholarship recipients for 2020 Cinfed Credit Union has announced the 2020 recipients of the Louis M. Brown/Cinfed Credit Union Memorial Scholarship. The scholarship amounts were increased to $2,500 per student this year. The six local students receiving awards for the 2020-2021 academic year: •Bernard Balz (Cincinnati, OH), Northern Kentucky University •Adam Feinauer (Ft. Wright, KY), Northern Kentucky University •Noah Feinauer (Ft. Wright, KY), Northern Kentucky University

•Sophia Lorson (Union, KY), Western Kentucky University •Sarah Parker (Walton, KY), University of Louisville •Anthony Wafula (Cincinnati, OH), Berea College Since the program’s inception, Cinfed has awarded more than $270,000 to students throughout the region. The scholarships honor the late Louis M. Brown, who served on Cinfed’s board of directors for 40 years, holding the position of president for 30 years. Through his leadership and commitment to serving members’ ﬁ nancial needs, Cinfed experienced long-term growth and stability. A graduate of Xavier University, Mr. Brown believed deeply in the power of education, so Cinfed established these scholarships in his memory. “Congratulations to these students and good luck to all our applicants as they continue their education,” said Jay Sigler, CEO of Cinfed. “We’re pleased to support them in honor of Louis Brown, as well as demonstrate our ongoing commitment to building our community and investing in our future.” Jim Kapp, Cinfed Credit Union

Top 5 breweries in Cincinnati right now Try this: Travel Weather, a double New England IPA Streetside brewed in collaboration with Cleveland-based Masthead. It’s about as far from sessionable as you can get, but it’s so smooth that you will hardly notice.

Matt Koesters Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

This one is probably going to be controversial, and I am ready for the infl ux of emails telling me how wrong, how stupid, how clueless I am. And hey, that’s cool. So here are a few caveats before I present to you the inaugural Greater Cincinnati Brewery Power Rankings. First, no, I have not visited every brewery in Greater Cincinnati. Some I know very little about. Others I only know by their reputations, by the anecdotes shared with me by others who’ve visited them. But this list isn’t just about taprooms – it’d look a lot diff erent if it was. It’s mostly about the beer. That said, boy, do I ever have opinions about beer, especially the beer made here in Greater Cincinnati. I love most of it – there are a lot of really talented people making some really delicious liquid right here in the Queen City. This list isn’t meant to detract from the good work being done at the breweries that didn’t make it. Rather, it’s meant to celebrate the excellence of those that did. So without further ado: The fi rstever, completely unscientifi c, Greater Cincinnati Brewery Power Rankings.

5. Rhinegeist Cincinnati’s largest craft brewery debuts on the list at No. 5. In its early days, Rhinegeist was often maligned by craft beer nerds for being a one-trick pony that only made IPAs. But if you’ve been paying attention, Rhinegeist has upped its game and diversifi ed its off erings, and it deserves its place on this list. What they do well: IPAs are where Rhinegeist shines brightest, but don’t sleep on the brewery’s sour program. The Outer Reaches series hasn’t disappointed me yet. Try this: Zango, an ale with apple, mango and tangerine, is currently available all over the city. I appreciate the creativity that went into this fruited ale. I’ve also sung the praises of Whiffl e in the past, but the witbier that changed my mind about witbiers is worth mentioning again.

1. Listermann

4. Braxton The pride of Covington, Braxton has become a dominant force in the Greater Cincinnati beer scene. It’s also among the city’s most innovative breweries and has shown a willingness to take risks that others wouldn’t dare attempt. Don’t believe me? Check out Braxton Labs, the brewery’s Bellevue satellite location within The Party Source. You’ll see what I mean. What they do well: I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Braxton Tropic Flare New England IPA is my go-to Cincinnati shelfi e. But my favorite Braxton off ering is the annual release of Dark Charge, the brewery’s barrel-aged stout. Held the fi rst Saturday in December, Dark Charge Day is arguably the best craft beer party of the year – the city of Covington shuts down entire city blocks to accommodate the crowds it draws, many of whom travel several hours from far-fl ung states for Dark Charge and its variants. Try this: Tropic Flare. Seriously.

3. Sonder Perhaps Greater Cincinnati’s fastest rising brewery, Sonder has made quite the splash since it debuted in late-2018. According to several employees, Sonder is dealing with some capacity issues, despite the impact of the coronavirus

pandemic. While it’s certainly a challenge, not being able to meet demand is a great problem to have. What they do well: The Mason brewery has struck a great balance between American creativity and the traditional European styles. I’ve been consistently impressed by Sonder’s sour oﬀ erings, but their lagers – Voss, in particular – have brought me back to a style I never thought I’d enjoy again after leaving macrobrewery products behind. Try this: There are still 4-packs of Key Lime Frosted Milkshake IPA sitting on shelves, which mystiﬁ es me. If you see it, grab it.

2. Streetside Small but mighty, Streetside doesn’t have the distribution reach of its larger competitors. You’ll have to go to better bottle shops to ﬁ nd some of its oﬀ erings, but for most, you’re going to have to go to the Columbia-Tusculum brewery itself. It’s so, so worth the drive, though. What they do well: Stouts, sours and IPAs are the three biggest draws in craft beer, and Streetside knocks them all out of the park. When Streetside rolls out a new variant of its Demogorgon barrelaged stout, it’s gone in under a week. I think Suh, Brah? is in the conversation for the best New England IPA made in Cincinnati.

Listermann isn’t just the best brewery in the city. It’s among the best in the state, in the same company as Wolf ’s Ridge in Columbus and Jackie O’s in Athens. And it’s held in high regard around the country – Listermann has released beers made in collaboration with craft brewing giants such as Anaheim, California-based Bottle Logic and Chicago-based Mikerphone, to name just a few. And that’s just in the last month or so. What they do well: Everything, but most notably stouts. Listermann has been pumping out big pastry stouts on the regular, and their use of adjuncts is heavy-handed in the best possible way. Listermann’s New England IPAs are fantastic, as well. The one hole in their game might be the lack of a robust sour program, but their taproom-only kettle sours rarely fail to impress. Try this: Pick a stout. Any stout. Or Chickow, their double hazelnut double brown ale. Or Nutcase, their peanut butter porter. I could go on and on. Honorable mentions: Urban Artifact; Fifty West; Brink; Fretboard; Taft’s Ale House; MadTree. Think I’m wrong? Tell me why! I can handle it – just be polite, mmkay? Look mattkoesters up on Untappd to keep up with what I’m drinking, or send me an email at mattkoesters@gmail.com.
