Erlanger-Elsmere schools postpone football, volleyball Students rally in protest James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Sept. 3. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates. About 60 supporters rallied at the Erlanger-Elsmere school district offi ce Sept. 3 after the administration postponed its fall sports seasons in the sports of football and volleyball. The group, most of them football and volleyball players with some parents, spent more than an hour standing in view of the front door of the administration building. They held signs, chanted slogans, and got many cars to honk their horns as they drove by. The event came after superintendent Chad Molley announced the seasons in football and volleyball would be postponed to mitigate the risk of students contracting COVID-19. The district, which has one high school, Lloyd Memorial, was set to begin the regular season in both of those sports next week. Both of Lloyd’s programs will remain in Segment Three of the Kentucky High School Athletic Association’s reopening protocols, which were in eff ect for the entire state until Aug. 24. Only conditioning and limiting practice drills with groups of no more than 10 are allowed. “We’re the only school in NKY that’s doing this,” said senior football player Jalen Huntley. “I don’t think that’s fair that we have to watch everybody else play and we don’t get to play. Some of us didn’t get a season last year because of injuries, and this is our last chance.” Erlanger-Elsmere is one of six Northern Kentucky districts who have reported a positive COVID-19 case to the Kentucky Department of Health and Family Services. The positive test comes from a staff member at Linneman Elementary in the district. In a letter to the district community Sept. 2, Molley said he was disappointed in the KHSAA’s decision to allow high-contact sports despite the risk of the virus spreading through respiratory droplets. “If the KHSAA Commissioner and Board of Control truly wanted our fall athletes to have a season this school year, there were many other options available for them to implement other than a business-as-usual approach,”

Molley wrote. “In my opinion, this decision did not take an innovative approach to solving a complex problem and did not consider the health and safety of our student-athletes, coaches, families, and communities amid a global pandemic.” Molley, a former athletic director at Lloyd, continued: “As a former, coach, and athletic director, I certainly understand the important role that extracurricular activities play in our students’ lives.

KENTON RECORDER

ErlangerElsmere Continued from Page 1A

As of Sept. 3, Erlanger-Elsmere has been the only district in Northern Kentucky to announce a delay in its seasons, though Newport’s independent public school district was set to have an emergency meeting Sept. 3. Bellevue was also set to have a meeting tonight but superintendent Robb Smith approved the seasons to go ahead. Players and parents at the Erlanger rally feel they’re already being safe and responsible. “The kids want to play and we feel like that can be done safely,” said Scott Dorgan, a parent of a football player. “The head coach (Kyle Niederman) is an assistant principal here. There are several teachers who are assistant coaches on the team. We’ve had great guidelines. There have been no sicknesses or outbreaks through conditioning all summer, and we don’t un-

derstand what it has been halted for. Indiana and Ohio are playing games already. We just want to get the same chance as everybody else.” Lloyd Memorial does not have a soccer program. Its football team currently has seven games on its schedule, beginning Sept. 18 at Dayton. Lloyd plays Class 2A in football and all seven games are against local programs, including Bellevue, Dayton, Ludlow, Newport, Beechwood and Holy Cross. Lloyd plays Bellevue twice. “Football is more than just a sport to a lot of us,” said senior Michael Wallington. “It’s life. It’s what we live for. For him to take it from us hurt all of us.” Jalyn Ballman, a junior captain on the volleyball team, has been playing since age 6 and said the junior season is a crucial one to get notice from college recruiters. “Since I could touch a ball I was always playing and staying active,” she said. “It’s one of the only ways I can get into college. My grades are good but volleyball can help me get a scholarship, and I want to play at the next level.” The KHSAA approved the current

schedule for the beginnings of fall seasons Aug. 20. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear approved the plan, with reservations, preferring that the seasons be postponed until at least Sept. 28. Meanwhile, the Kentucky Department of Education sent the KHSAA a letter last week urging the KHSAA to reconsider its plans for high-contact sports.

HOT MILK CAKE A ‘perfect, lighter-textured version of poundcake’ Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

I had my ﬁ rst bite of Katie Pettit’s hot milk cake when I hosted a birthday lunch for my neighbor and friend, Erin Phillips. Katie, a Loveland reader and Erin’s long time friend, oﬀ ered to bring dessert. “I know she’ll bring my favorite hot milk cake,” Erin said. And Katie did. That cake was a per-

fect, lighter-textured version of poundcake. It needed no adornment. I’m happy to ﬁ nally share her recipe, and hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Along with Katie’s, I’ve got another winner, and this one is a true poundcake recipe: Million dollar poundcake. Poundcake got its name back in the day when made with a pound of butter, a pound of sugar, and lots of eggs. Get where I’m going here? Million dollar poundcake lives up to the poundcake moniker. So now you have two superb cake recipes. Which one will you make ﬁ rst?

Katie Pettit’s hot milk cake A good keeper. Yummy alone or with a side of fruit.

Million dollar poundcake lives up to its name.

Ingredients ⁄ 2 cup butter

Million dollar poundcake

1 cup milk 2 cups all-purpose flour

This has a ﬁ ne crumb. Buttery, too. Glazed or not, your choice.

2 cups sugar

Ingredients

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 pound butter, room temperature

4 large eggs (Katie used 3 duck eggs from Erin’s flock)

3 cups sugar 6 large eggs, room temperature

1 teaspoon each: vanilla and another favorite extract or 2 teaspoons vanilla

11⁄ 2teaspoons each: vanilla and almond extract

Instructions

4 cups all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 300.

⁄ 4 cup milk

Place butter and milk in microwave and heat until butter melts and milk is slightly scalded. Meanwhile, mix dry ingredients, eggs and extracts and beat on low while butter melts.

Instructions Preheat oven to 300.

Add butter mixture to other ingredients and mix well.

ENQUIRER

Gradually add sugar, beating on medium until light and fluffy. This takes about 5 minutes, too. Butter mixture will turn fluffy white.

Pour into greased bundt pan and bake 1 hour. Cool and turn out onto plate that’s been dusted with coarse sugar.

Beat butter on medium speed until creamy. This took about 5 minutes and is important for a good rise. It will turn real light yellow.

If you want, give it a sprinkling of confectioners’ sugar.

Reliable protection. Straight-up savings.

Add eggs one at a time, until yolk disappears.

Stir in extracts. On low speed, add flour alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour. Batter should be smooth. Prepare 10” bundt or tube pan by brushing softened butter thoroughly all over in pan. Sprinkle with flour. Shake pan to get flour into nooks and crannies, then turn upside down to shake out excess. Again, an important step so cake doesn’t stick. Bake 1 hour and 20 to 40 minutes. Mine was done in 1 hour and 25. Toothpick inserted deep into center should come out clean. Cool in pan on rack about 15 minutes, then remove from pan and cool. Gilding the lily: Drizzle with glaze. (2 cups confectioners’ sugar, about 4 tablespoons water and splash of flavoring). Tip: Bring eggs to room temperature: Place unshelled eggs in warm water for a few minutes.

KENTON RECORDER

Man convicted of shooting at police, ramming car, sentenced to 25 years prison Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A Kenton County jury sentenced a Northern Kentucky man to 25 years prison Aug. 27 after convicting him of eight felony counts including one count of attempted murder when he shot at police in Erlanger. The jury’s 25-year sentence for Jacob Julick, 28, is a recommendation to the judge overseeing the case. Kenton County CirJulick cuit Court Judge Patricia Summe said she will set a formal sentencing date after talking with probation and parole. If the 25-year sentence is imposed, Julick will not be eligible for parole for at least 20 years. Jacob Julick, during a June 6, 2019, traffi c stop on Dixie Highway, shot at one Lakeside Park-Crestview Hills offi cer six times, and shot once at another Lakeside Park offi cer, said Kenton County Commonwealth’s Attorney Rob Sanders. Julick later tried to ram a car into a pursuing police cruiser days later in Coving-

ton after he was spotted while on the run. No offi cers were hurt in the shootings or the attempted police car-ramming. Julick was found three weeks later hiding in a chimney of a West Side Cincinnati house. U.S. Marshals took him into custody and a $1 million bond was set. “I’m glad that Kenton County won’t have to worry about Mr. Julick being on the street for at least the next two decades,” Sanders said outside the courtroom after the sentencing. Sanders said he was glad the jury didn’t impose the minimum sentence. “I think 25 years is a good sentence,” he said. “I think it sends a strong message that attacking police offi cers is not going to be tolerated in Kenton County.” Sanders said he wanted to thank the jury for their work, especially under diffi cult circumstances during the pandemic. The jurors spread out into the audience gallery while the foreman read the verdict. Everyone inside the court wore masks with six feet social distancing stickers marking where people could sit. Julick walked out of the courtroom in

Covington after the sentence was passed and looked at his mother and a few others who were allowed to come in after jurors ﬁ led out of the room. “I love you all,” Julick said. He pointed a ﬁ nger at a young adult male seated near the front. “You be good,” Julick said to the young

man. Julick was recently convicted by the jury for shooting at Lakeside Park oﬃ cers in June 2019. “The system works,” Sanders said after the guilty verdict. “Jacob Julick is a very dangerous individual. He put a number of diﬀ erent people’s lives at risk.”

NKY agency sues bank, auditor in attempt to recoup $4 million Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Northern Kentucky Convention & Visitors Bureau claims in a lawsuit fi led against a bank and its auditing company that there were safeguards in place that should have stopped former fi nance director Bridget Johnson from taking more than $4 million in tax money. The tourism-focused bureau, which collects taxes on hotel room stays in Northern Kentucky, fi led the lawsuit in Kenton County in September 2019 against North Carolina-based Branch Banking and Trust Co. (BB&T) and auditing fi rm Rankin, Rankin Company. BB&T held the bureau’s accounts when Johnson took money using at least 55 electronic transfers.

The case continues to wind its way through the court with multiple motions to dismiss by the defendants and multiple moves to amend the initial complaint ﬁ led by NKCVB. Verbal arguments by attorneys seeking to throw out an amended complaint were scheduled to start Wednesday, Sept. 2 in Kenton Circuit Court before Judge Gregory Bartlett.

Bank says issue is already settled by law BB&T has argued in court ﬁ lings seeking to dismiss the case that the bureau is seeking to recoup funds taken by Johnson using common law is a question that has already been settled legally. Kentucky’s adoption of the Uniform

Commercial Code in Kentucky Revised Statute, the Commonwealth’s set of laws, does not allow for recovery of funds due to fraud, according to BB&T court fi lings. NKCVB claims in court fi lings BB&T and Rankin both were aware of the bureau’s policy forbidJohnson ding wire transfers or using electronic check systems. The visitor’s bureau’s fi ling also claims Rankin knew the bureau had a policy requiring two authorized signers for each check $1,000 greater. Johnson used electronic checks and then falsifi ed fi nancial statements shown to the bureau’s board to hide the thefts, according to court fi lings.

The 20-year employee of the bureau was sentenced in December 2019 to 15 years in prison on charges of complicity to theft, abuse of public trust, and unlawful access to a computer. She siphoned money from the bureau while serving as fi nance director from May 2017 to October 2018 and paid bogus vendors using three diff erent bank accounts. Accused co-conspirator Keith Tasher remains in jail in Kenton County awaiting trial in December on a $1 million theft charge. Prosecutors said a romance scam was at the heart of the public money theft case. Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Sept. 2.

Doctor faces federal counts of illegally dispensing prescriptions Terry DeMio Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A Northern Kentucky physician who was required to surrender his license to practice medicine in 2019 is facing 257 counts of illegally distributing oxycodone. Michael J. Grogan, of Lakeside Park, owned and operated Go Beyond Medicine in Crescent Springs from February 2018 to February 2019 when he illegally dispensed prescriptions for the drugs, according to a federal indictment. Oxycodone is a generic opioid painkiller, available by prescription. The indictment claims Grogan dispensed the prescriptions “outside the

scope of a professional medical practice and without a legitimate medical purpose.” Grogan had a history of substanceuse disorder, according to public information with the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure, and surrendered his license to practice medicine of any kind in March 2019. The license surrender occurred during an investigation of Grogan’s activities in February 2019 in which agents of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, FBI and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, along with the Northern Kentucky Drug Strike Force, searched his practice on a warrant.

A decade earlier, Grogan had been restricted from prescribing or dispensing controlled substances in March 2009. That agreement came about after individuals who’d worked with Grogan told the Kentucky Physicians Health Foundation that they had noticed Grogan was displaying “erratic behavior,” had “slurred speech” and that his gait was “uneven” at then St. Luke’s Hospital. The Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure record of the permanent license surrender outlined the 2009 situation. It states that Grogan was being treated for cluster headaches, but that his treatment provider had not prescribed oxycodone or other similar

drugs. The facts to which Grogan stipulated include that he was diverting methadone prescriptions to a patient and arranged for the patient to ﬁ ll the prescriptions and place them in his vehicle. Grogan went to a substance-use treatment center and completed the program. During that time he was not permitted to act as a doctor. From 2009 to 2014, he was required to maintain a controlled substances log, subject to board consultant review and to maintain an abstinence contract. Grogan appeared in U.S. District Court in Covington for an initial hearing on Aug. 17. His trial date was scheduled for Oct. 26

OPINION

Virus has exposed broken, underfunded child care system Your Turn Patti Gleason Guest Columnist Community Recorder

Child care, early learning, early childhood education, or the dirty word we never like to hear – daycare. Whatever you like to call it, I have devoted 39 years fi ghting to make it better. I could not have chosen a more rewarding career, despite the great frustration that comes with providing a service families desperately need but often cannot aff ord. The coronavirus pandemic has demonstrated that our nation simply cannot go back to work without access to child care. Essential employees who relied on friends and relatives during the early weeks of the pandemic have since found their piecemeal network collapsing. Their willingness to answer the call to service at great risk to their health and their families has been rewarded with little more than a parental juggling act. It has been a terrible crisis, in particular, for low-income families and communities of color. It feels right now like our child care system is at rock bottom – but this is actually the opportunity to achieve long overdue reforms. Moments of great national crisis drive great changes because political leaders can no longer ignore broken systems. There have been other times in our history when our representatives understood the importance of funding child care that meets the needs of working families. During World War II, families were eligible for child care for up to six days a week at the aff ordable cost of $9-10 a week in today’s dollars. (Parents are now expected to pay $200 per week on average for an infant in child care.) Unfortunately, as soon as the war ended, child care support ended. The only thing that did not end was the need. Back in the 1970s, a bipartisan group of U.S. senators and representatives listened to the real needs of parents and worked to pass legislation that could make quality child care available to every family. Their bill budgeted the equivalent of about $10 billion (today’s dollars), a strong start to an adequately funded system. But then-President Nixon quietly vetoed the bill. A country obsessed with Watergate and Vietnam barely noticed when one of the most important educational initiatives of the last half-century was quietly killed. Today, our annual federal investment in child care is about half of what that bill proposed. For the next two decades, early child-

hood education struggled along on a fragile mixture of tuition and government support. Middle-class children whose mothers were often at home usually went to half-day programs; poorer children were there all day while both parents worked. A stereotype emerged that the shorter programs existed to provide real education while the full day programs were simply babysitting for working parents. At a meeting in the early 90s, I questioned a leader at the county welfare department about how to meet the challenge of providing children with a quality learning experience at the low government reimbursement rates. The response, announced to a room full of providers, was that no one was interested in quality; the whole point of subsidized child care was just to keep children safe while their parents were at work. However, new thinking was spreading fast – and scientists studying brain development gave impetus to the fundamental standards we had long been fi ghting to achieve. Researchers like Peter Huttenlocher at the University of Chicago were discovering that 90% of brain development occurs by the age of fi ve. Both our state and federal government realized that quality environments and experiences matter for young children. States, like Ohio, began to develop rating systems, and require more professional development, evidence-based curriculum and qualifi ed teachers. It was a great leap forward in policy – but the reimbursement rates for low-income children did not increase nearly enough to meet the cost of all the new demands fell on child care providers. The term “unfunded mandates” never had a better poster child. This election year, quality early childhood education has fi nally come near center stage, along with a recognition that a child’s earliest years lay the foundation for all later learning and development. Investing in children means starting with support for mothers during pregnancy. It means providing parents the assurance that they can work all day while their children are being well cared for and nurtured. Unlike the 1940s, today America knows we are not talking about a short-term fi x. We need a comprehensive approach that off ers accessibility, aff ordability and choices for parents. There is no one-size-fi ts-all. The pandemic made unequivocally clear that our current system is broken. Now we have two choices: We can continue to put Band-Aids on a hemorrhage, or we can start from scratch and develop

a new system that actually supports our families, children, teachers and communities. However, if we choose the Band-Aid approach we are just delaying the crisis. Eventually, we will see as many as 40% of

We can continue to put Band-Aids on a hemorrhage, or we can start from scratch and develop a new system that actually supports our families, children, teachers and communities. quality programs closing for lack of fi nancial support. States will relax the safety standards they’re currently enforcing to combat coronavirus, opening the door to new infections for families and early educators alike. More and more children will spend their waking hours in unlicensed programs and more children will be entering school identifi ed with cognitive, social and emotional delays. But what if we decide to fi x the sys-

tem? Well, it won’t happen overnight. First comes a temporary plan to shore up the existing framework. This means, at minimum, an additional $50 billion in fl exible, dedicated funding for child care from the federal government to get us through the next several months. Then, we need to focus on a comprehensive redesign of our system that fully funds high-quality early learning, meets the needs of working families, and includes support for family leave. Here at Learning Grove we start every search for solutions with three questions: What is best for children? What do our parents need? How do we best coordinate with other community providers to make sure all families have access to whatever health care and education they need? All of this requires massive eff ort, but it is so worth all the trouble. It also requires a lot more money, but expert economists have already proven that this investment will be more than worthwhile in the long-run. If coronavirus can propel the country down this path, future generations will be able to look back on this dark period and see a new light. Patti Gleason is the chief operating offi cer of Learning Grove, an Covingtonbased early childhood learning center.

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Sept. 1. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates. Northern Kentucky teams are getting a later start in football than their Ohio and Indiana counterparts, but local teams are raring to go beginning Sept. 11. Teams are allowed a nine-game schedule before the regular fi ve rounds of playoff s begin, culminating in the state championship games Dec. 11-12. Here is a look at the local Class 2A teams, who are split between two KHSAA districts.

Newport

Beechwood Noel Rash enters his 16th season as head coach for the Tigers. He has a 162-47 record, including fi ve state championships. The Tigers, third all-time in Kentucky with 14 state championships, had a fruitful run of four consecutive state-title years from 2015-18 before realignment altered those plans. Beechwood moved up to Class 2A last season and went 8-6, reaching the state semifi nals before running into past playoff nemesis Mayfi eld. Beechwood has reached at least the state semifi nals in 12 of the past 13 seasons. This year’s Tigers return eight starters on off ense and seven on defense. “We will be replacing several positions on both sides of the ball from 2019,” he said. “These young men are talented, but none of that will matter if we don’t have the mental toughness needed to carry us through the off -season and each week of the season. We must continue to develop the team attitude and selfl essness so vital to championship teams.” Players to Watch: Senior quarterback Cameron Hergott threw for 2,076 yards and 15 scores last season, and rushed for 751 and 12 as he enters his third year as a starter. Juniors Brady Moore, Keaton Durrett and Parker Mason gained experience last year at receiver and defensive back. Moore had 47 catches for 468 yards and six scores, while Mason had 364 receiving yards and fi ve TDs. Senior Cole Stammer and junior Avery Courtney combined for nearly 1,000 yards rushing and 12 touchdowns, and also play strong defense. Adam Gibbs, Colby Vanderpool and Xavier Campbell are veteran linemen. Opener: Sept. 11 at Corbin, 7:30 p.m. Other games to watch: Beechwood plays at 5A state champion Covington Catholic Sept. 18, and after their district games, the Tigers play at rival Newport Central Catholic Oct. 30. Normally, that’s their regular-season closer but the Tigers will play at 5A Meade County Nov. 6.

the Class 2A state semiﬁ nals in 2016 behind Derrick Barnes, currently a starting linebacker at Purdue. Holy Cross is 2-31 since then, with both wins coming last year. That 2016 campaign, when HC went 10-4, is the program’s line winning season since its 2A state championship season of 2011. Players to Watch: Senior Brandon McClendon led Northern Kentucky in receiving yards last season, catching 46 passes for 1,118 yards and nine touchdowns, averaging nearly 26 yards per reception. The multi-talented McClendon, who is being recruited in both football and basketball, led the Indians on defense with eight interceptions including a touchdown return. Senior Jeremiah Hicks is a multi-talented player at running back and linebacker. One of the top overall players for the Indians, last year he had 43 solo tackles in only ﬁ ve games after being the team’s leading tackler in 2018. In 2019, he also had 14 assists and three tackles for loss. He also had an interception. Junior Cade Lehmkuhl and senior Donavan Moses return as the top two tacklers from last year. Sophomore Javier Ison and junior Hayden Spencer combined to throw for more than 1,500 yards and 12 touchdowns. Opener: Sept. 11 at Bellevue, 7 p.m. Other games to watch: The Indians host Bishop Brossart Sept. 25 and play at nearby rival Scott Nov. 6.

Lloyd Memorial Kyle Niederman enters his second season with the Juggernauts, who were 6-5 last year, losing in the fi rst round of the playoff s to Newport. The program has been consistently solid in recent years, going .500 or better for eight straight seasons, including a 9-4 regional fi nal appearance in 2015. Players to Watch: Junior Jake David-

Newport was 8-4 under head coach Joe Wynn, who enters his third season. The former Dayton High School standout and veteran assistant coach has led the Wildcats to two consecutive winning seasons after winning only four games out of 33 the previous three seasons. Newport went 6-5 in 2018, and has had only one other winning season since 2006. Newport has to replace several key playmakers, including Kaleal Davis, who ran the show at quarterback and in the secondary and is playing for Indiana State. Players to Watch Junior Robert Sanders was third on the team in tackles, including 18 for loss and four sacks. Senior Simon Keating had 33 catches for 874 yards and 10 touchdowns. Opener: Sept. 11 at Bishop Brossart, 7 p.m. Other games to watch: The Fireman’s Bell vs. NewCath, Sept. 25.

Walton-Verona Jeff Barth enters his 11th season as head coach with an 88-45 record. Walton-Verona has nine winning seasons out of 10, and has won 26 straight games against district competition. The Bearcats went to the 2A state semifi nals in 2018, their deepest run in program history, before advancing to the regional fi nals last year. WV returns 11 veteran starters and are experienced and deep on both sides of the line. Players to Watch: Senior Dawson Catlett anchors both lines, leading the defense in tackles as well as tackles for loss (11). Junior Jacob Gaines rushed for 756 yards and fi ve touchdowns last season and is a fast and athletic player. Senior Colton Shawver had 20 receptions for 422 yards and fi ve touchdowns on off ense, and 8.5 tackles for loss on defense. Opener: Sept. 12 vs. Newport Central Catholic at Newport Stadium, 7 p.m. Other games to watch: The Bearcats play at Simon Kenton, a 32nd District rival in many other sports, Sept. 18. The Bearcats have a tough road to get ready for the playoff s, playing at 5A North Laurel Oct. 23, hosting 1A power Louisville Holy Cross Oct. 30 and hosting 6A county rival Boone County Nov. 6. WV beat North Laurel 22-21 last year and lost 41-21 to Holy Cross.

The Kentucky Volleyball Coaches Association released a preseason allstate watch list for the 2020 high school season. The list includes more than 170 athletes, and the association encourages coaches to provide regular updates on their performances. Ninth Region champion Notre Dame is represented on the list by senior outside hitters Emma Grace and Anna Long, who led the Pandas to a 30-12 record and the state semiﬁ nals last year. Runner-up St. Henry has junior setter Cora Taylor, junior middle blocker Taylor Preston and junior libero Abby Schaefer. Also representing the Ninth Region are senior setter Taylor Connelly (Conner), senior outside hitter Kaitlyn Luebbers (Cooper), sophomore libero Sadie Smith (Cooper), sophomore outside hitter Maia Long (Dixie Heights), senior setter Hannah Lukey (Dixie Heights), sophomore middle blocker Julia Hunt (Holy Cross), junior setter Maya Hunt (Holy Cross), senior middle blocker Torri Wurtz (Holy Cross), senior libero Kylie Kohrs (NCC), senior blocker Madison McCloskey (NCC), junior middle blocker Ava Kidd (Ryle), junior outside hitter Lucy Trump (Ryle), and senior setters Camdyn Meier and Grace Ransdell (Villa Madonna). Trump is the reigning NKAC Division I Player of the Year for the Raiders, who were 21-16 last year. Preston is the Division II Player of the Year. Two-time reigning 10th Region champion Campbell County has two representatives: senior middle blocker Olivia Crowl and junior outside hitter Rylee McKinney. Senior middle blocker Ella Chitkara represents Scott. Representing Bishop Brossart are senior middle blocker Marie Kiefer and senior setter Raele Ruschman. Kiefer, 6-foot-3, is a Ball State basketball commit. In the Eighth Region, senior rightside hitter Abby McKinley and senior middle blocker Annie Schneider represent Walton-Verona. Several players listed here, among others, were named to the American Volleyball Coaches Association Phenom Watch List for Kentucky. Among the listed were Trump, both Hunts from Holy Cross and St. Henry teammates Preston, Taylor and Schaefer. Other honorees are Cooper sophomore teammates Holland Morris and Chloe Fortner; Notre Dame teammates Sydney Nolan and Kayla Hostetler; and other St. Henry teammates Sidney Artstingstall and Natalie Noll.

Who are top Northern Kentucky boys soccer teams? James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Highlands soccer has been the kings and queens of the Ninth Region the past two seasons. While the girls team from Fort Thomas has reached the state fi nal each of the past two years, the boys team has made long postseason runs of its own. Highlands reached the state fi nal in 2018, losing 1-0 to St. Xavier, then fell to Henry Clay in penalty kicks in the state quarterfi nal round. Highlands has gone 73-19-9 the past four seasons, and head coach Chad Niedert will attempt to keep that run going with a younger team than in recent seasons. "We don’t have a lot of four-year varsity players,” Niedert said. “We don’t have a lot of guys who start out as freshmen and become signifi cant contributors the whole time.’ Highlands’ key player is senior Max Farris, who was second-team all-state and All-Northern Kentucky in helping the Bluebirds win the 36th District and advance to the state quarterfi nals. He posted 12 goals and eight assists despite missing seven games to injury. He was a key part of Highlands’ state runner-up team in 2018 with 12 goals and 12 assists. Niedert expects him to step up and be the key target. Highlands graduated a lot of its scoring punch, including Player of the Year Porter Hedenberg, but Niedert has been able to groom young talent. Senior Austin Frazier and sophomore Colin Pieper are among the ones expected to provide an off ensive punch this season. Pieper scored a goal in the state quarterfi nals last year when Highlands was trailing to Danville in a game Highlands won 6-3. “(Frazier) wasn’t a player when he showed up but he’s worked hard at it,” Niedert said. “No one has worked as hard as he did. He’ll do all the dirty work he’ll need to do to be successful. Depth upfront is one of our greatest strengths. Hopefully, we’re able to reload that front three and wear down their back four and break them down.” Highlands defeated Danville 6-3 in last year’s tournament, and Niedert said while the Bluebirds have been strong defensively in recent years, it may take time to regain that form this season “We’ve got some guys up top who will score some goals,” Niedert said. “We’ll have to fi nd guys who can defend more than we did in the past. That’s been a big thing to work on this fall.” Niedert said that like every other team, the Bluebirds are doing as well as they can adapting to all the uncertainties of the coronavirus pandemic. “We have a culture where we love the brotherhood that we have and we hope it’s something we can build into our guys,” he said. “Our guys are eager to do it and they’re intelligent enough to be safe about things.”

Ninth Region Highlands’ only rival in the 36th District is archrival Newport Central Catholic, who went 11-9-4 last year and upset Conner in the Ninth Region tournament before losing to CovCath in the semiﬁ nals. The Thoroughbreds lost their top two scorers.

er was fi rst-team all-state and AllNorthern Kentucky last season. Ryle and Cooper were both 11-8-3 last year, with Ryle defeating Cooper in the 33rd District semifi nals. Ryle, who last won the region in 2017, returns all-region defender Noah Moeller, who was second-team All-Northern Kentucky. Veteran Lance Paul had eight goals and 12 assists. Cooper lost its leading scorer among eight seniors but has second-team allregion keeper Josh Spence in goal. Spence posted eight shutouts and allowed 22 goals in 20 games. Boone County was 7-7-3 last year but allowed only 22 goals for the season. Dixie Heights, 12-6 last year, won the 34th District over St. Henry (7-13). Dixie returns second-leading scorer Luke Crone, who had 12 assists. St. Henry lost its top two scorers from a team that struggled for off ense last year, posting only 30 goals. Senior Ben Durrough is one of the top returners. Villa Madonna, 5-8-3, is the top team in NKAC Division III and is led by senior Dominic Martin. Holy Cross (12-9-3) is defending 35th District champion and will look to keep going behind senior Holden Lipscomb. He had 14 goals and 19 assists to lead the Indians to a 12-9-3 record and their fi rst 35th District championship in more than 20 years before ending in the Ninth Region semifi nals on a 1-0 loss to Highlands. Holy Cross lost only four seniors, including second-leading scorer Luke Dreas. Perennial power Covington Catholic didn’t have its usual sparkling record, fi nishing 11-12-1, and they suff ered a rare loss in the 35th District fi nal. The Colonels lost 11 seniors but have several talented players coming back, including junior keeper Carter Eilers and senior midfi elder William Bosley, who was second-team all-state.

Eighth Region Simon Kenton (3-21) and WaltonVerona (1-15-1) have plenty of room to grow from last season. SK won the 32nd District after claiming only one victory during the regular season and returns all-region player Nick Seger. Williamstown (7-11-2) also advanced to the regional tourney.

10th Region

Campbell County's Zack Riley, 43, and Calvary Christian's Carter Hudson sky for the ball as Calvary Christian defeated Campbell County 6-2 in the 37th District boys soccer championship Oct. 10, 2019, at Campbell County HS, Alexandria KY.

Beechwood, 10-10-2 last season, is led by Ruben Rechtin, a senior who had 25 goals and 11 assists for the Tigers. Holmes was 2-15-1 last season. Conner, 17-5-1 last year, won the 33rd

District. Conner lost its top two scorers but returns senior Jackson Sands, who had 12 goals. Senior Dekkar Haaser leads a backline that allowed only 21 goals for the season. The senior defend-

Calvary Christian (16-5-1) is reigning 10th Region and 37th District champions. The Cougars lost their top three scorers from a team that scored 105 goals last year but return senior Carter Hudson. He had 15 goals and nine assists in just 16 games, ranking him fourth on the team in scoring, and he'll have a chance to lead this year. Campbell County (11-14-1), runnerup in both tournaments, will build behind seniors Sam Jones and Josh Napier. Bishop Brossart (6-14-2) lost its leading scorer and will build behind senior defender Evan Ratcliﬀ . Scott (106-2) had fallen on very hard times since reaching the 2014 state ﬁ nal but had its best season since then in 2019. Scott has three double-digit goal scorers, including Luke Iden and Carlos Marshall with 14 apiece.

SCHOOL NEWS Russell the Mussel joins Ohio River Foundation education staff Ohio River Foundation (ORF) has a new team member to help with its popular Mussels in the Classroom education program. His name is Russell the Mussel, and he’s a freshwater mussel not unlike those that inhabit the creeks, streams and rivers of the Ohio River watershed. Russell himself is a character in a Virginia Tech/U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service children’s book that bears his name. ORF spearheaded eff orts to resurrect the book, which was previously out of print. The nonprofi t will distribute copies as part of its Mussels in the Classroom program for the fi rst time this fall. It’s most appropriate for students on fourth- through sixth-grade reading levels or for teachers who wish to read the book to younger students. ORF launched Mussels in the Classroom, the only program of its kind, in 2017. Since then, nearly 5,000 students in the Greater Cincinnati, Greater Columbus and Greater Lexington areas have experienced the program. It kicks off with a visit by an Ohio River Foundation educator, who describes the freshwater mussels’ unusual characteristics and signifi cance to their ecosystems. Although they clean water, acting as a natural fi lter for our waterways, most people know little about these important animals. Many species are threatened or endangered. Following the educator visit, mussels remain in the class-

room for two weeks so students can care for and study them. “Adding the Russell the Mussel book as a leave-behind lets us share information about freshwater mussels in a new

way that will beneﬁ t students who are reading/writing learners,” said Rich Cogen, Ohio River Foundation’s executive director. “Because the book will remain in the classroom after our program

ends, it will also reinforce what we teach and serve as a continuous reminder about this critical species.” Because of COVID-19, ORF is adapting the Mussels in the Classroom program to feature virtual presentations this fall. Classrooms operating under inperson learning will still receive an aquarium of mussels to observe for a two-week span. The program is fully booked for the fall in Greater Cincinnati and Greater Columbus, but interested teachers in those regions can submit an application for spring 2021. A few spaces remain available for schools in the Greater Lexington area for this fall. For more information, visit the ORF website. Ohio River Foundation (ORF) is dedicated to protecting and improving the water quality and ecology of the Ohio River and all waters in its 11-state watershed. ORF works towards these goals through environmental education, conservation and advocacy activities that serve to inspire environmental stewardship for the beneﬁ t and enjoyment of current and future citizens. In 2020, ORF celebrates its 20th anniversary of Ohio River watershed work. During its history, the nonproﬁ t has reached 50,000 students with its freshwater education programs; restored and reconnected more than 200 miles of rivers; removed four dams; planted 6,000 trees; and removed more than 300,000 invasive plants.

The United States Constitution serves as the foundation for American democracy. It’s an inherent reminder of unalienable rights bestowed upon every American. The tradition of celebrating the Constitution was started by the Daughters of the American Revolution. In 1955, DAR petitioned Congress to set aside Sept. 1723 annually to be dedicated for the observance of Constitution Week. The resolution was later adopted by the US Congress and signed into public law on August 2, 1956 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The aims of the celebration are to emphasize citizen’s responsibilities for protecting and defending the Constitution, informing people that the Constitution is the basis for American’s great heritage and the foundation for our way of life. The annual commemoration also serves to encourage study of the historical events which led to the framing of the Constitution in September 1787. Constitution Week is a great time to learn more about this important document and celebrate the freedoms it gave us. On Sept. 22 at 6 p.m., the Mayor of Florence will oﬃ cially recognize Constitution Week with a Proclamation at the Florence Government Center, 8100 Ewing Blvd, Florence, KY.

Amazing artichokes The artichoke is a fascinating vegetable. A native of the Mediterranean, the artichoke is a member of the thistle tribe of the sunﬂ ower family and are primarily grown in California The artichoke is fun to eat, and it’s good for you. One medium sized artichoke is a notable source of vitamin C, ﬁ ber, folate and potassium. It’s low in sodium, fat-free and only 25 calories. Plus artichokes are considered one of our best vegetable sources of antioxidants! The much loved artichoke heart can be prepared from fresh, or purchased canned or frozen. They can be prepared many ways, including steaming, boiling, slow cooking, grilling, pressure cooking. Many of us enjoy eating the leaves with a dip, and

working through the center for the delicious heart. The California Artichoke Advisory Board (artichokes.org) has several interesting videos on preparing artichokes, along with many great recipes. You can learn more about artichokes locally in a “learn from home” format designed by the Kenton and Boone County Cooperative Extension offi ces, called “Vegetables-Jewels of Health”.

TOP WORKPLACES CINCINNATI

After 5 years among the best, Huﬀ Realty takes top honors Duard Headley Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

For the past fi ve years, Huff Realty has ranked among one of the top workplaces in the Cincinnati area. This year, Huff topped the list, taking home the title of Top Workplace in the large business category. Headquartered in Fort Mitchell, the company has offi ces and agents spread across Southwest Ohio, Southeast Indiana and Northern Kentucky. While maintaining a positive work environment across such a wide service area might seem daunting, Huff president and CEO Brian DeVries said he makes it a top priority. “I believe I have a genDeVries uine connection with the entire staff ,” DeVries said. “Whether it’s with an administrative person in the far northwest corner of Ohio or a new agent in Florence, Kentucky, and everything in between.” DeVries said he cares more about his employees’ happiness and wellbeing than the company’s profi t statement, but that when employees enjoy their jobs, the entire company is sure to benefi t. “My number one responsibilities are the safety, morale and relationships fostered within our teams,” DeVries said. “At the end of the day, they won’t care how much I know unless they know how much I care. And I don’t just say that; I mean it.” Indicative of that care, DeVries said he gets frustrated when his employees don’t make full use of their vacation days. Instead of wishing they would work more, he wants them to take the time off because he said he knows they deserve it.

Huff Realty agents and staff attend a training event on the Ninja selling system on Monday, May 21, 2018, at Devou Park in Covington, Kentucky. THE ENQUIRER/DAVID GIFREDA

The leadership approach of caring for staff morale and well-being was refl ected in responses to an employee-engagement survey used to rank the companies on the Top Workplaces Cincinnati list. “I work with the best people in the industry. In real estate, every transaction is diff erent and I know that I can call anyone at Huff (including and especially upper management) and I will receive the very best advice, assistance and encouragement,” one employee wrote. The survey also showed that new and old employees alike enjoyed the atmosphere at Huff . “I have 32 years of blood, sweat and tears invested in Huff . I’m a Huff ster for life,” wrote one. “I just join a month ago and I am absolutely loving it here. Everyone is so incredibly helpful. Everyone is willing to go out of their way to help. I love it,” wrote another. In addition to fostering a healthy and fun work environment, Huff off ers competitive salaries, a comprehensive bene-

fi ts package and professional development programs. While DeVries said he doesn’t think that’s anything out of the ordinary, what is unusual is that Huff encourages employees to take care of themselves above all else. “That’s what matters to me and to us,” he said. “We want employees to have the freedom to put their families fi rst, to have the freedom to take care of their own personal and health needs without question.” DeVries said that if the coronavirus pandemic has don’t anything positive for Huff , it was teaching the entire company that the mission could be accomplished with a greater level of fl exibility and focus on individual well-being than ever before. Taking those lessons to heart, DeVries said he was thrilled that Huff was acknowledged as the top workplace. “It’s one of the highest honors we could possibly receive,” DeVries said. “This victory, if you will, might not be the end-all and be-all of showing that we’re a positive workplace, but it’s a great step

There aren’t enough poll workers, so Kentucky turns to beer for help Emma Austin Louisville Courier Journal USA TODAY NETWORK

Kentucky is in critical need of poll workers for November’s general election, and Secretary of State Michael Adams is making sure that message is reaching as many people as possible — by putting it on beer cans. Adams’ oﬃ ce is partnering with the Kentucky Guild of Brewers to get out the word with beer labels soliciting volunteers to work the polls, he recently announced. The labels also encourage people to register to vote and has a QR code that opens govoteky.com where Kentuckians can register to vote and apply to be a poll worker. “Last year I testiﬁ ed to the legislature that we had a poll worker crisis in Kentucky,” Adams said in a news release.

“COVID-19 certainly hasn’t helped. We need younger generations to step up and be good citizens, and so we enlisted the help of Kentucky’s craft breweries to reach them.” The beers can be purchased at four breweries in cities across the state, including Louisville’s Monnik Beer Co., 1036 E Burnett Ave. There wasn’t enough time for the breweries to make a new beer for the “SOS From Your SOS” campaign, so each location picked one of its own creations to don the labels. Brian Horton, owner of Monnik Beer, said the brewery is using its IPAs, available for sale in six-packs. “We decided it would be a fun thing to be a part of in trying to get people out to vote and get people to help at the polls,” Horton said. Monnik Beer is open for dine-in service and has plenty of outdoor seating,

Horton said. The campaign beers are also carried at Lexington’s Pivot Brewing Company, 1400 Delaware Ave.; Richmond’s Dreaming Creek Brewery, 109 E Irvine St.; and Newport’s Wooden Cask Brewery, 629 York St. Adams and Gov. Andy Beshear announced last month their voting plan for this year’s election has been approved by the Kentucky State Board of Elections. The plan allows any voter who is concerned about contracting COVID-19 by voting in person to request an absentee ballot and submit it by mail or in their county’s drop-oﬀ box. Voters can also vote in person early in the three weeks leading up to Election Day on Nov. 3. The online portal to request absentee ballots will close on Oct. 9. The deadline to register to vote is Oct. 5.

Construction to resume at Newport on the Levee Randy Tucker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

After a brief pause due to the coronavirus pandemic, major construction was set to resume at Newport on the Levee last week, developer North American Properties (NAP) recently announced. North American bought the mall in 2018 and plans to invest a total of $100 million to redevelop the 360,000square-foot, town-center-style shopping center on the banks of the Ohio River. Initial construction on the redevelopment began in June 2019 with the demolition of the building that formerly housed Mitchell’s Fish Market. But the pandemic slowed construction for much of the summer. “We are excited to start this next phase of construction and bring our vision for the new Newport to fruition,'' said Tim Perry, managing partner at

An artist's rendering of planned redevelopment at Newport on the Levee. PROVIDED

Downtown Cincinnati-based NAP. "It’s time for Newport on the Levee to be a regional destination, drawing people to enjoy its irreplaceable views, new mix of uses, engaging events and places.'' By the middle of next year, developers hope to have completed a series of open-air communal spaces with fresh landscaping, lighting, sun shades and

seating throughout the mall's promenade level. The spaces will allow patrons to hang out and gather while physically distancing to help control the spread of the virus. Another major focus of the redevelopment is the 113,000-square-foot Gallery Building, which will undergo major

reconstruction for use as an event venue, according to a news release. The west side of the Gallery Building, which currently houses AMC Theaters, will be demolished and replaced with an all-glass wall to ﬂ ood natural light into the space. As part of the Gallery Building renovations, a new entrance will directly connect the eastside of the building with the Purple People Bridge. And a new parking garage entrance is being created to improve access from Third Street, according to the release. Several of the other buildings at the Levee are also slated for cosmetic upgrades. While renovations are underway, businesses will continue to stay open and accessible to guests, North American said. Both the Newport Aquarium and AMC have recently reopened to the public, along with most of the existing restaurants and retailers at the Levee.
