COVID Watch: Vaccine could arrive as soon as next month, Dr. Stack says Deborah Yetter Louisville Courier Journal and Grace

Louisville Courier Journal USA TODAY NETWORK
Kentucky could see its fi rst doses of a vaccine against COVID-19 as soon as next month, which would be a welcome development in a state where cases surged past 100,000 in October, along with rising numbers of hospitalizations and deaths. Dr. Steven Stack, Kentucky’s public health commissioner, told a legislative panel Oct. 28 that the fi rst of about a half-dozen vaccines under development could soon be available. “We are cautiously hopeful that the most vulnerable in Kentucky, fi rst responders, health care workers, should have access to doses of some vaccines by mid-December,” Stack told members of the House-Senate interim Health, Welfare and Family Services Committee. But it will take more than a year to make the vaccine available to everyone, Stack said, because of the limited, initial supplies and the enormous eff ort required to distribute and administer a vaccine in a nation of about 330 million people. “It is a massive logistical challenge,” he said. Federal health offi cials, in conjunction with states, have developed plans to administer the vaccine in phases, starting with health workers and vulnerable populations, such as the elderly in nursing homes, which have been ravaged by the coronavirus. In Kentucky, nursing home residents account for more than half the 1,489 deaths linked to COVID-19 since March. Lawmakers at the hearing had questions. Among them:

Will a vaccine be mandatory?
Dr. Steven Stack, Kentucky’s public health commissioner, says the fi rst of about a half-dozen vaccines under development could soon be available. But it will take more than a year to make the vaccine available to everyone because of the limited, initial supplies.
No, Stack replied, saying no public health offi cials have proposed making a COVID-19 vaccine required by law. “The only thing we hope to do is make it as available to everyone who can potentially benefi t from it,” he said.
How will the state persuade people skeptical of the vaccine? Stack said the state is working with community health offi cials and others on a survey about public attitudes towards a COVID-19 vaccine and will use the information to reach people with answers to their questions.

Covington bans natural hair discrimination Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
On Oct. 27, Covington became the fi rst city in Kentucky to adopt protections from discrimination related to hair texture and hairstyles commonly associated with a particular race or natural origin. Offi cials said the Board of Commissioners voted 5-0 to add the provisions of The CROWN Act – an acronym that stands for “Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair” – into the City’s Human Rights Ordinance. The provision forbids race-based hair discrimination that denies employment or educational opportunities because of hair texture, hairstyles, and protective hair coverings, offi cials said. “I showed up today with my naturally curly hair, just like I promised I would. I’ve put myself out there, on the line here,” said Commissioner Michelle Williams, who proposed the protection. She wore her hair natural to celebrate
the provisions’ anticipated passage. “Ever since I’ve been in politics, I’ve felt I’ve had to wear my hair straight – that’s the whole ‘fi tting in’ pressure,” Williams said. “Culturally, there are all kinds of diff erent types of hairstyles and coverings, but people tend not to accept cultural diff erences when it comes to hair styles.” In 2019, Cincinnati City Council voted 7-1 to add a similar ordinance, which made it illegal to discriminate against people with natural hair. The ordinance’s sponsor, councilman Chris Seelbach, called it “one more step along an important path toward leveling the playing fi eld in the community.” Kentucky State Rep. Attica Scott has also proposed statewide legislation to ban discrimination on natural hair. “We have a unique ability to recognize that the diff erences that make up our city is one of our strengths,” Covington Commissioner Tim Downing said. “This will continue to attract people to our city.”

More COVID-19 information
Continued from Page 1A
For people with general questions about COVID-19, such as symptoms, treatment or tests, the Kentucky Poison Control Center is taking calls at 800-722-5725.
“Vulnerable populations have been skeptical about vaccines for a long time,” Stack said. “Our plan is to address people’s concerns with eff ective information with ways they can understand and allow them to make their own, informed choice.” Skeptics don’t include the two lawmakers who co-chair the committee. “I just want to say I am a vaccine believer,” said Rep. Kim Moser, a nurse and an Independence Republican. Added Sen. Ralph Alvarado, a physician and Winchester Republican, “I’d be the fi rst in line to take one if I can, once the vaccine’s developed.”
How will the vaccine be distributed and administered? Initially, pharmacy chains such as Walgreens and CVS, and others, such as hospitals and clinics, will be the main providers of vaccine because of the complex storage and reporting requirements for the vaccine. For example, some vaccines must be stored at below-freezing temperatures of minus-114 degrees Fahrenheit. Furthermore, current plans call for vaccines to be shipped in vials containing up to 1,000 doses, which means they must be administered on a mass scale. Eventually, people should be able to get vaccines at their doctor’s offi ce or local clinic, Stack said.
What are the “phases” for people to get the vaccine? The fi rst phase includes health care workers, fi rst responders, people of all ages with health conditions that put them at greatest risk and older adults in settings such as nursing homes. Phase 2 includes teachers and school staff , essential workers such as grocery or pharmacy employees and people who live or work in settings such as group homes, homeless shelters, or jails and prisons. Phase 3 includes young adults, children and people who work in occupations considered important to society. And Phase 4 includes the general public

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Oct. 30. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates. With the number of reported COVID-19 cases on the rise in Northern Kentucky, the region's public university planned to move almost all student classes to online learning on Monday. Campbell County's move into a red zone, or critical, status for coronavirus cases last Thursday, was why Northern Kentucky University moved nearly all classes online, according to a release from Sue Ott Rowlands, provost. NKU's main campus in Highland Heights is in Campbell County. Many of the university's about 16,000 students also commute from neighboring Kenton County, which was also switched to red zone status Friday because of the rise in COVID-19 cases there. Red is the highest level in the commonwealth’s COVID incidence rate. An additional 127 COVID-19 cases were re-
ported Friday in Northern Kentucky. Rowlands urged students to not host or attend any gatherings for Halloween in a bid to push down COVID-19 numbers in Campbell County. The university will evaluate whether to move out of virtual learning as soon as this week, according to the release. NKU is hopeful when the commonwealth revaluates the county's critical status, that it will be lowered to the orange level, Rowlands said. For now, only classes that absolutely must be held in person will remain in person, according to the release. Instructors with in-person components to a class will communicate with students with instructions, according to the release. All campus offi ces that can switch to off ering services remotely will be closed for in-person business. When it comes to sports, Rowland's email did not specify whether they would be played. Division and college leaders will follow-up with teams with more details about operations, Rowlands said.

Information also is available at louisvilleky.gov/government /health-wellness from the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness.

who didn’t previously qualify. Stack said he predicts reaching everyone with a vaccine will stretch into 2022. “It will take all of next year — all of next year — to get through Phase 3,” he said.
How will public health officials administer mass vaccines, given demands of social distancing? “It is an enormous logistical challenge,” Stack said, adding it will take massive, coordinated eff orts by the federal and state governments working with providers such as pharmacies, health departments, hospitals and clinics. Further, most of the vaccines under development require two doses, meaning people will have to return for a second dose and must be sure to get the same vaccine they got the fi rst time. “You can’t jump between vaccines,” he said. But he said he believes it’s possible, and results will be worth it for the public weary of months of restrictions on activities, social distancing and wearing masks in public. “We all want to get back to regular activities. I think we can all agree on that,” Stack said. “I think it’s all about enabling people to get back to where we were.”

Restaurant-style sweet and sour pork recipe is ‘pretty simple’ Restaurant-style sweet and sour pork Again, chicken works well too. A good store-bought sweet and sour sauce works well, or for a homemade sauce, check out my abouteating.com site. Ingredients Boneless pork or pork tenderloin, cut into bite size pieces and seasoned Batter for meat (recipe follows) Oil for frying (about an inch in a deep skillet) Bell pepper, cut into chunks Pineapple chunks, drained (save juice if making homemade sauce) Sweet and sour sauce Cooked rice Crispy and puffy batter coating This makes enough for about 1 pound meat. ⁄ 4 teaspoon salt

⁄ 3 cup flour

Instructions
I was hoping to fi nd some turkey wings at the grocery to make my do-ahead freezer turkey gravy (a fl avorful gravy which can be used alone or added to turkey drippings). There weren’t any in the poultry case, but I did see some nice boneless pork chops on sale, so those went into my cart. My original thought was a simple dinner of fried pork chops, and sliced fried garden potatoes. Somehow by the time supper rolled around, the fried pork chop idea lost its appeal. So I cut the chops up into bite-sized pieces for sweet and sour pork, the kind in Chinese restaurants. I had a couple bell peppers in the refrigerator, plus a can of pineapple chunks in the pantry, and I always have rice on hand. I was good to go. Here’s the recipe and it’s pretty simple. Originally made with chicken, pork chops or pork tenderloin make good substitutions.
Whisk together salt, flour, cornstarch and baking powder. Whisk in egg, oil and water until batter is smooth.
Deep-fried pork just out of the oven.
The one thing I’ll caution you about is that the small pieces of meat cook real quick, regardless if you use pork, or chicken, so don’t overcook or they’ll tend to be dry. The batter coating puff s up as the pork fries and is golden brown and crispy. Readers weigh in: Zuppa Toscana soup: Stephen S. had this to say: “Fantastic and delicious. New favorite.” Mississippi pot roast: Dave L.’s comments: “Finally got around to making the easy version. Family absolutely loved it and they are not big fans of pot roast!”
Dip pieces in batter. Drop carefully into hot oil (350-375 degrees or until a little cube of bread fries golden in a few seconds). Fry about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and meat is cooked through. Set aside on warm platter while cooking peppers and pineapple. Remove most of the hot oil from pan (careful here), then cook peppers and pineapple a bit until peppers are crisp tender. Pour sweet and sour sauce into pan with peppers and pineapple. When sauce gets hot, add cooked pork and toss everything gently to coat. Serve with rice.

Dark Charge Day: Expect the unexpected Despite COVID-19, Braxton Brewing Company aims to make the sixth annual event a memorable one
“We’ve dedicated a ton of time, energy and eff ort into creating spaces in our taprooms that adhere to all guidelines, and provide a safe and enjoyable environment for our guests,” Rouse said. “While the event will certainly look diff erent at a limited capacity without our normal outdoor tent and block party,” Rouse continued, “we believe this is the best and safest way to enjoy Dark Charge with the best community in beer and we can’t wait to share it with you.”
Matt Koesters Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
I won’t ever forget my fi rst Dark Charge Day. The fi rst Saturday in December 2016 was unseasonably warm, and in the overcast sky loomed the threat of heavy rain. When I got to Seventh Street in Covington at 7 a.m., there was already a line of about 40 to 50 people outside of the Braxton Brewing Company. As has become tradition, those early visitors passed the time waiting for Braxton to open the doors by holding a massive bottle share on the sidewalk outside. Some of the people in line sat in their folding chairs and made breakfast on propane stoves, off ering food to friends who happened by. Others walked up and down the sidewalk, offering everyone they encountered pours from crazy-rare bottles and cans of outof-distribution craft beer – stouts from California, IPAs from Massachusetts and sours from far-fl ung parts of the country were there for the asking. By the time Braxton started selling its Dark Charge barrel-aged stout and adjunct-fl avored variants, I had befriended more people than I can count on both hands. I still consider several of the people I celebrated Dark Charge Day with to be close friends to this day. I’ve been to every Dark Charge Day since, and each year has been bigger than the one before it. The lines started forming earlier each year, and the footprint of the party has grown to the point that the city of Covington allowed Braxton to shut down the entire Seventh Street block occupied by the brewery to

make way for tents full of amazing food, great guest taps and live music. Obviously, Dark Charge Day isn’t going to be anything like it’s been in years past, thanks to COVID-19. We won’t be seeing Braxton’s taproom and upper deck stuff ed to the gills with people. Bottle sharing is probably unlikely and bound to be frowned upon. But Braxton is working to make the sixth annual Dark Charge Day a memorable one, despite the unique challenges posed by 2020. “Since the beginning of COVID we have been working on developing our technology to handle this day,” Jake Rouse, Braxton CEO, said on the brewery’s Dark Charge Day website. “So we’re thrilled to share that all bottle sales will take place over the course of three weeks beginning Tuesday, Nov. 17,
and ending Thursday, Dec. 3, exclusively at DarkChargeDay.com.” This year’s variants have yet to be announced, but Rouse assured Dark Charge fans that the Braxton team has “pulled out all the stops” in creating this year’s Dark Charge lineup. Given the extreme popularity of past years’ Molé (aka the Mexican Chocolate variant) and Maple Breakfast variants, they’re likely to return. As for the rest, Braxton fans have learned to expect the unexpected. Dark Charge Day itself falls on Saturday, Dec. 5, and the celebration will be held at all four of Braxton’s Greater Cincinnati locations – Covington, Pendleton, Braxton Labs in Bellevue and the Fort Mitchell Barrell House. Each will have all of the Dark Charge variants on draft, along with full slates of live music.
First, a round of congratulations to Sonder in Mason for its second anniversary release, which included the release of several special variants of Sonder favorites. My favorite part, though, was the triumphant return of Sonder’s apple streusel-inspired ale, known this year as “This Beer is Named After the Polka Band from a 1990s Christmas Movie.” It’s a smart, timely decision by the Sonder team to recognize that a beer called “Kenosha Kickers” could be seen as in bad taste, and the replacement name made me smile. Especially impressive was the Mexican Hot Chocolate variant of Otto, Sonder’s double tiramisu stout. Also happening recently was the long awaited release of Listermann Brewing Company’s Ray Ray line of imperial barrel-aged stouts. At least three of this year’s variants – Coconut S’mores, Bread Pudding and German Chocolate Cupcake – are all in the running for my favorite of the year. Listermann’s Ray Ray events earned widespread praise from those who attended; just an outstanding eff ort by the Listermann crew on all fronts. I spent 20 minutes on a recent Saturday afternoon talking craft beer on 700 WLW with weekend host Sterling. It wasn’t nearly as terrifying as the fi rst time I did a radio show, but I’m sure those who heard me could tell I was still fi ghting off a little stage fright.

Tips for saving on retirement healthcare costs Allworth Advice Amy Wagner & Nathan Bachrach Guest columnists
Question: G.K. from Warren County: Any suggestions for how to save on healthcare costs in retirement? A: This is an important question to be asking, especially since retirement healthcare costs continue to rise. According to the latest study from Fidelity, the average 65-year-old couple retiring today will need about $295,000 (in 2020 dollars) to cover medical care over the course of their retirement. This is a 3.5% increase from last year and an 18% increase from just a decade ago. For single men, it’s around $140,000; $155,000 for women. One way to save on these future costs is to utilize tax-advantaged retirement accounts, such as a Health Savings Account (HSA). With this type of account, contributions are tax free, the money grows tax free, and distributions on qualifi ed medical expenses are also tax free. However, just remember: In order to use an HSA, you must have a high-de-
ductible healthcare plan which means higher out-of-pocket costs. Also, once you’re ready to enroll in Medicare, do your research. There are numerous options – all with varying costs. Consider using a comparison site, such as eHealth, to help you determine the best and most cost-eff ective plan for your situation. And reassess your options annually during Open Enrollment (which is happening now and runs through December 7th). Similarly, if your income is above a certain threshold, your Medicare Part B premium will be higher than average (same goes for Part D premiums). But a forward-thinking income distribution strategy that lowers your modifi ed adjusted gross income can keep this from happening. (This is when working with a credentialed fi nancial advisor can be really helpful.) The Allworth Advice is that healthcare costs are likely going to eat up a big chunk of your retirement budget. Making a plan for them now, as you seem to be doing, will serve you well. Q: Paul in Ludlow: I’m thinking about using target date funds for my 401(k). What’s your take? A: Our take is that they have some pros… and some cons. As the name implies, this fund (which is typically a mutual fund) ‘targets’ a certain retirement
year such as 2035, 2040, 2045, etc. Then, as that year approaches, the asset allocation within the fund shifts to take on less risk. It’s essentially a set-it-andforget-it method for saving for retirement. If you’re someone who becomes overwhelmed when making fi nancial decisions, or you simply want a ‘handsoff ’ approach to retirement, this type of fund can be benefi cial. However, this brings us to the downsides. Target date funds treat everyone within the same ‘retirement bucket’ exactly the same – even though your retirement goals, risk tolerance, and other fi nancial needs are unique to you. Simply, the asset allocation of a chosen target date fund might not be appropriate, and it’s defi nitely not personalized. Additionally, not all target date funds are created equal. A 2040 fund from two diff erent companies, for example, could have diff erent ratios of stocks and bonds and their ‘glide paths’ (how they shift allocation) could also vary signifi cantly – even though the retirement date is the same. So, it’s still recommended you do a little research into any target date fund you’re considering. Here’s The Allworth Advice: If it’s a choice between using a target date fund or throwing your hands up in frustration and not saving at all, by all means, go
with the target date fund. Just keep in mind that they’re also not a silver bullet. Your asset allocation – both inside your 401(k) and overall – should take into account more than just the year you hope to retire. A fi nancial advisor may be willing to help you personalize your investment choices within your 401(k). Every week, Allworth Financial’s Nathan Bachrach and Amy Wagner answer your questions.

New plan seeks Ohio River improvements by 2030 Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Human activity along the Ohio River reduced wildlife habitats that contributed to more than 600 species becoming threatened or endangered, according to a report from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. But, there’s a plan to improve the waterfront. The report released Oct. 21 included plans to improve the Ohio River Basin in 15 states by 2030. The report was prepared by the Army Corps of Engineers, the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission (ORSANCO) and the Ohio River Basin Alliance (ORBA). The plan covers portions of the states of Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. It aims to use the Ohio River the way states revitalized the Chesapeake Bay and the Florida Everglades, according to the release. “We have a historic opportunity to stand up for communities large and small in the region – and we are going to do it. We look forward to working with stakeholders in the region, as well as local offi cials, governors, and members of Congress to implement these commonsense solutions before these challenges get more diffi cult and costly. We have solutions, and it’s time to use them,” said Harry Stone, chairperson of the Ohio River Basin Alliance, in a press release. Here are the six priorities in the plan: h Restore the river, its tributaries, and ecosystems to protect the health of people, fi sh, and wildlife. h Address fl ooding to protect vulnerable communities and infrastructure. h Ensure there’s abundant clean water for people, fi sh and wildlife, and

Notre Dame, Scott win regional championships James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Notre Dame Academy is a perennial favorite to win the Ninth Region volleyball championship because of the depth of talent in their program. The Pandas needed all of it to win the regional title this year, as they claimed the Ninth Region championship for the second straight season by beating Ryle 3-1 (25-15, 22-25, 25-20, 25-19) Oct. 29 at Holmes. Required by tradition to select their all-tournament players and the most valuable player of the tournament, the NDA coaching staff had to make some tough choices. Ultimately, senior Anna Long was the tournament MVP, but she was far from alone. After beating Ryle on Oct. 13, The varsity players at NDA were put into quarantine because of a positive test for COVID-19 in the program. The Pandas won the 35th District championship with their junior varsity players, then the varsity players were
cleared to return to the court in time to beat St. Henry in the Oct. 27 opening round. McDermott said the varsity hadn’t practiced together since before beating Ryle Oct. 13. “It was very diffi cult to pick an MVP, it was very diffi cult to pick an all-tournament team,” said head coach Molly McDermott. “This team won this region and this program won this region because our JV team won the district for us. A day doesn’t go by that we don’t thank them for that and applaud them for that.” Long had 16 kills in the fi nal. Senior Emma Grace, a fellow all-tourney honoree, had 22 kills. Senior Emily Wichmann had 25 digs and was named to the team. Senior Abby Powers ended the match with a kill and was instrumental in her blocking and net presence. Her main responsibility was slowing down Ryle junior Lucy Trump, who recently committed to Notre Dame. Trump, last year’s Ninth Region player of the year, had 15 kills. Long had six kills in the opening set. Grace had three kills and two aces and

served during a 6-0 run that broke the set open. Notre Dame led 17-14 in set two before Ryle rallied. A block by juniors Ava Kidd and Kayla Hamm gave the Raiders a 23-21 lead, then a Pandas error after a long rally put Ryle up 24-21. A kill by Kidd won the set. Ryle led 7-2 in set three. Three kills by Grace helped the Pandas tie the set at 8-8. A kill and a block by senior Cate Scheper gave NDA the lead for good at 17-15. Sophomore Sydney Nolan ended the set with a kill. Powers came to the forefront in the fourth set with four kills and a block during NDA’s fi nal seven points. “We focus on fi rst contact all year long, and I feel like our fi rst contact broke down in that second set,” McDermott said. “Ryle was putting pressure on us from the service line and making great digs. It was a lot more of what they did versus what we didn’t do. Ryle played really well, especially that set.” NDA, 22-3 overall, will play at 14th Region Wolfe County (18-3) in the KHSAA state round of 16. The winner will advance to the state quarterfi nals Nov. 6 at George Rogers Clark High School. “We’re eager to get back in the gym and practice because we haven’t practiced yet,” McDermott said. “We’re very thankful that we get to go practice tomorrow.” Scott won the 10th Region championship Oct. 29, reclaiming it from Campbell County with a 3-0 win (2523, 25-22, 25-14). Scott (14-13) played at West Jessamine Monday night in the round of 16. The Camels had won the title the past two years. Campbell and Scott have wrestled for the trophy back and forth every year in the current KHSAA alignment. Campbell has four titles in that span while Scott won its fi fth. Simon Kenton fi nished 20-5 after losing 3-0 (25-19, 25-13, 25-16) to North Oldham in the Eighth Region fi nal. North Oldham won the regional title for the seventh straight season.

The top seeds in their districts in hand, two of Northern Kentucky’s perennial small-school powers battled it out in their annual rivalry Friday night at Newport Stadium. The battle was one-sided on the Beechwood side of the ledger this time, as the Beechwood Tigers left no doubt with a 45-0 win over the Thoroughbreds. Beechwood is 6-2, while NCC, which had been one of two unbeaten teams in Northern Kentucky along with Covington Catholic, fell to 6-1. NCC had won 17-14 last year in Fort Mitchell. “We came out playing awesome,” said Beechwood senior quarterback Cameron Hergott. “Usually, we come out slow, but coming into this game, we wanted revenge from last year. We just came out and did our jobs, kept fi ghting.” Beechwood took a 31-0 lead at halftime and kept the Thoroughbreds without a fi rst down on off ense until there was 2:40 left in the fi rst half. “I’m really proud of how they play hard for each other, I love that,” said Beechwood head coach Noel Rash. “We’ve got a whale of a ball club. We start playing smarter, and we’ll be really tough to beat.” Both teams rolled through their districts with 3-0 records, and were looking to test each other as they prepare for their postseason journeys. Under the second year of the use of RPI computer ratings by the Kentucky High School Athletic Association, both teams were looking to improve their chances of more favorable matchups and home fi eld in the later rounds of the playoff s should they get there. Beechwood came into the game placed second in the 2A rankings, and if the Tigers stay there, they would have home fi eld through the state semifi nals if they keep advancing. NewCath is seventh in 1A. Rash was proud of the overall effort by the Tigers but said there are things the team can keep improving on. “We have to be a little more disciplined,” Rash said. “We have to be a little more disciplined and a little better at tackling. We tackle really well and then all of a sudden we get into a funk for an entire series, and that’s the kind of stuff that can get you beat in the playoff s.” Beechwood outgained NewCath 223-33 in the decisive fi rst half. Hergott threw for three touchdowns and rushed for one, giving him 16 TD passes and seven rushing scores for the year. Beechwood used big plays from Hergott to pull ahead. The senior QB rushed for gains of 14 and 15 yards on Beechwood’s fi rst drive, which ended in a Colin Graman fi eld goal. With Beechwood leading 10-0 early in the second quarter, NewCath decided to go for it on fourth-and-two from its own 24. Beechwood stopped See BEECHWOOD, Page 2B

Brossart, Highlands lead way to state titles James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Tony Harden has plenty of state championships in his coaching career. Most of them have come when he was head cross country and track coach at St. Henry District High School. Harden went over to his alma mater, Bishop Brossart, several years ago, and as head coach this year, he led his charges to one of the most impressive state championships yet. Bishop Brossart dominated the 1A state competition Saturday at Bourbon County Park in Paris. The Mustangs scored 36 points to beat Kentucky Country Day by 60. Brossart had the top three fi nishers and four of the top seven, led by junior Claire Curtsinger, who won the individual state championship in 19 minutes, 42 seconds. Sophomore Amy Klocke fi nished second and eighth-grader Sadie Hartig third. Eighth-grader Olivia Holbrook fi nished seventh and sophomore Cora Bertsch 33rd. Curtsinger had won the Northern Kentucky Athletic Conference championship and Holbrook won the regional title. “This is a special team,” Harden said. “I’ve had some good teams. To have four girls who can go win any invitational let alone the state meet is pretty special. I told our girls all year I don’t care who the number one runner is, I just want the lowest possible team score. They seemed to have the mentality of ‘yes,’ they like to compete with each other, but they’re teammates fi rst.” Brossart won its third state championship in the last four years. A change in format necessitated by the pandemic had the fi eld in each race split into three groups, starting their race in fi ve-minute intervals to reduce crowding of runners. As a regional champion, Brossart was in the fi rst group of runners but could have been beaten by teams in other groups. “We had certain goals for our wave,” Harden said. “We wanted to put four girls in the top eight and seven in the top 25 or 30. We knew if we did, we’d be in pretty good shape with the second wave. For the last mile, we were racing the clock at that point.” Villa Madonna fi nished third to win a team trophy, led by Charli Gerrein in 17th, Alyssa Martin in 20th, Lexi Baker in 36th, Sarah Rice in 37th and Abby Ernst in 40th. Calvary Christian’s Kaylee Holtzapple and St. Henry senior Kasey Hill also won medals. In 1A boys, Northern Kentucky had three of the top four team medalists and six of the top 10 teams overall. St. Henry fi nished second, led by Dixon Ryan (sixth), Lake Durrett (eighth), Mark Ryan (20th), Camden Fedders (27th) and Mitchell Reh (35th). Beechwood fi nished third, led by Natnael Weldemichael (15th), Kaden Marker (21st), Christopher Roberdeaux (36th), Cole Hetzel (40th) and Aiden Holt (67th). Villa Madonna fi nished fourth with Owen Kovacic (14th), Matt Davis (31st), Adam Kolar (45th), Ethan Martin (50th) and Joey Grannen (57th). Northern Kentucky had two of the three individual girls champions over the weekend, as Highlands senior Maggie Schroeder won her second championship in three years, running 19:16 to win by 26 seconds. Highlands fi nished second as a team. Highlands’ other four scorers were Eden Brumer (20th), Alyssa Harris (21st), Adrienne Harris (33rd), and Ruby Smith (47th).

Owen Electric crewmen traveled to Beauregard Electric Cooperative, near Lake Charles, LA, to assist with power restoration following Hurricane Delta.

Owen Electric crews travel to Louisiana to restore power following Hurricane Delta In response to a request from an electric cooperative in Louisiana, at least 70 electric co-op employees from Kentucky are joining power restoration efforts after Hurricane Delta brought even more damage to the same area devastated by Hurricane Laura in August. Delta made recently landfall as a strong Category 2 hurricane and swept through Southwest Louisiana, causing substantial damage to the infrastructure at Beauregard Electric Cooperative. All of the co-op’s 39,000 consumer-members lost power, an event seen for only the third time in its 80-year history including Hurricanes Rita in 2005, Hurricane Laura just six weeks ago, and now with Delta. “Our members were so supportive through Hurricane Laura, and I have confi dence that we will have that support through this restoration eff ort as well,” said Kay Fox, vice president of marketing and member services. “Our crews will join forces again with other states to restore power as quickly and
safely as possible.” Some of the same Kentucky co-ops that deployed crews to Hurricane Sally last month are gearing up for more hurricane relief. In September, 87 crews from twelve Kentucky electric co-ops helped restore power to a co-op in southwest Alabama. The top priority of each local Kentucky co-op is service to its own consumer-members. Before committing resources to mutual aid requests, each coop ensures it has ample crews available for all local needs, including routine maintenance and emergencies. The list of Kentucky electric cooperatives that were set to deploy lineworkers includes Cumberland Valley Electric, Fleming Mason Energy, Jackson Purchase Energy Cooperative, Kenergy, Nolin RECC, Owen Electric, Shelby Energy, South Kentucky RECC, Warren Rural Electric and West Kentucky RECC. Through a careful coordination of mutual aid from co-ops across the Midwest and Southeast, co-op crews are assigned to specifi c co-ops in need of assistance. On daily conference calls, safety teams from each state assess optimal deployments. “Even before Delta made landfall, co-

op crew members in Kentucky were already communicating that they wanted to help,” said Chris Perry, President and CEO of Kentucky Electric Cooperatives. “By responding to natural disasters in other states, Kentucky co-op crews gain invaluable experience to help them respond to outages here at home. We are praying for the safety of co-op crews and the people they are helping.” In addition, United Utility Supply Cooperative is responding to Hurricane Delta needs. The Kentucky-based co-op has implemented its storm emergency plan, providing round-the-clock support to meet the material needs of coops. Because the national network of transmission and distribution infrastructure owned by electric cooperatives is built to federal standards, line crews from any co-op in America can arrive on the scene ready to provide emergency support, secure in their knowledge of the system’s engineering.

Full Throttle Adrenaline Park – ‘Pushing the limits’ As a small business, how do you grow in the midst of a global pandemic and a forced state-wide shut down? The coowners of Full Throttle Adrenaline Park seem to be writing the playbook. In the words of Aaron Banfi eld, CEO and Co-owner of Full Throttle, “We were thrilled to take the down time that we had during Covid and turn it into a valuable asset that hopefully our friends from the Cincinnati/NKY area will enjoy.” On March 16, 2020 Full Throttle Adrenaline Park closed due to a mandatory state-wide shut down. As a local Cincinnati/NKY small business with two locations; this could have been detrimental. National chains have a bigger backing; but Full Throttle Adrenaline Park stepped back, evaluated their situation and how to thrive in such a fl uid time. See COMMUNITY NEWS, Page 4B

During this shut down, Full Throttle Adrenaline Park seized the opportunity to diversify their growth strategies. This came to fruition with the addition of their 20,000 square foot multi-level indoor paintball fi eld. This expansion was completed, debuted on June 10, 2020 and the results are remarkable. This is the only paintball fi eld of its kind in the United States. Running across the gravel, past the sailboat and up the stairs to hide behind the shipping container cut out to stalk your opponent is a thrill of no other. “We want to deliver high quality adrenaline packed activities to the Cincinnati/NKY area,” says Kenton Noran, Co-owner of Full Throttle. “If the insur-
ance company isn’t questioning us, we aren’t doing our jobs. Anyone can add putt-putt or laser tag, but those activities aren’t going to get your adrenaline pumping.” As a small local business, you have to ebb and fl ow with the market and your customers to maintain their loyalty. The Owners of Full Throttle Adrenaline Park decided to bundle the activities off ered into an Adrenaline Pass. The Adrenaline Pass is off ered for customers to reserve online, the time blocks allow for sanitation times throughout the facility as well as maintaining COVID-19 capacity numbers. The Adrenaline Pass is a block of time where customers can race high-speed go karts and throw axes for $50/per person. Included in your Adrenaline Pass is entry
into the rage room. When an Adrenaline Pass is purchased, customers are off ered discounts on paintball, the fully immersive Omni virtual reality booth and rage room breakables. Full Throttle also is home to a fully stocked bar with a large selection of local Ohio breweries’ beers. By expanding their off erings including activities and the value of the Adrenaline Pass bundle, Full Throttle Adrenaline Park is utilizing this time to prove that their small business is willing to be daring and take care of their customers. Right now, your customers are a testament of your brand. Full Throttle is at the forefront of bringing adrenaline inducing exclusive activities to the area, including the only rage rooms in the Cincinnati/NKY areas and their unique digital projected (and
changeable) targets for their axe lanes. Their brand and the adrenaline-fi lled experiences that customers experience leave lasting memories. Full Throttle Adrenaline Park is currently hiring for Sales Representatives, Bartenders, Track Workers and Paintball Referees. If you are interested in joining their crew you can head to either the Cincinnati or NKY locations and apply in person. For more information on Full Throttle Adrenaline Park and their Adrenaline Pass, you can head over to Full Throttle’s website at https://www.gofullthrottle.com/.

Use less, spend less, stress less this holiday season Debt is not something anyone wants to receive for the holidays. The events of 2020 have left most Kentuckians with less money to spend on nonessentials like holiday gifts, travel, and celebrations. Tighter budgets do not have to mean a more stressful holiday season. Remember, never go into debt buying a present, taking a trip, or throwing a party you cannot aff ord. Holiday celebrations should bring us joy rather than stress. If the events of the past year have left your holiday budget anything but cheerful, consider ways to reduce your costs (and stress) this holiday season.
Use less National Use Less Stuff Day is Nov. 19, 2020, an informal holiday that began as a way to raise awareness of how much “stuff ” we consume, especially during the holiday season. In the spirit of this holiday, the Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service is encouraging people to take part in the Use Less, Spend Wi$e Challenge where we highlight ways to cut our consumption, save money, and connect with others in budget-friendly ways. One option to reduce our expenses is simply to use less stuff by omitting, conserving, downsizing, and reusing. h When you OMIT things, you decide to cut out or reduce material consumption. For example, reducing your disposable waste by using fewer paper and plastic products like plates, napkins, and cutlery. h When you CONSERVE, you look for ways to lower energy use and the consumption of natural resources. For example, turning off lights when you leave the room or adjusting your thermostat to reduce heating and cooling bills. h When you DOWNSIZE, you decide to donate, sell, or discard things you no longer need or use. For example, do you really need 25 ceramic coff ee mugs or clothes you have not worn in a decade? h Finally, when you REUSE something, you decide to reuse or repurpose things you already own (or things from a previous owner) before making a brandnew purchase. For example, shopping consignment saves money and gives new purpose to existing “stuff .” See COMMUNITY NEWS, Page 7B

CDC: How to have a safe Thanksgiving during the coronavirus pandemic
or recommend a specifi c number of attendees,” they suggest keeping gatherings small. If you’re hosting, the CDC recommends hosting outdoor activities whenever possible, limiting attendees and hosting for people who are local.
The CDC also recommends avoiding any self-serve food or drink options. The CDC has also made a list of activities that pose a certain level of risk. The CDC said avoiding higher-risk activities can help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Lower risk activities, according to the CDC: h Having a small dinner with only people who live in your household h Preparing traditional family recipes for family and neighbors, especially those at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19, and delivering them in a way that doesn’t involve contact with others h Having a virtual dinner and sharing recipes with friends and family h Shopping online rather than in person on the day after Thanksgiving or the next Monday h Watching sports events, parades, and movies from home Moderate risk activities: h Having a small outdoor dinner with
family and friends who live in your community h Lower your risk by following CDC’s recommendations on hosting gatherings or cook-outs. h Visiting pumpkin patches or orchards where people use hand sanitizer before touching pumpkins or picking apples, wearing masks is encouraged or enforced, and people are able to maintain social distancing h Attending a small outdoor sports events with safety precautions in place Higher risk activities: h Going shopping in crowded stores just before, on, or after Thanksgiving h Participating or being a spectator at a crowded race h Attending crowded parades h Using alcohol or drugs, which can cloud judgement and increase risky behaviors h Attending large indoor gatherings with people from outside of your household
portantly, stick to it! Prioritize where to allocate your resources, and plan ahead. The eff ects of the pandemic will continue to be felt this holiday season. Expect shipping delays and surcharges, inventory shortages, and social distancing guidelines that cap the number of shoppers in stores. h Save money on holiday decor this year by making the most of what you already have. Reuse holiday decorations from past years or repurpose nonseasonal decor by adding colorful ribbons, greenery, or pinecones. Also establish new, lost-cost traditions that double as holiday activities while adding a festive touch to your home. Think homemade salt dough ornaments, paper snowfl akes, and popcorn, paperchain, or cranberry garland. Stress less Holiday stress often comes from increased demands on our schedules and
wallets. During the holidays, we pile extra travel, celebrations, and gift exchanges atop everyday home, work, and school commitments. Attempting to balance it all can be challenging. This year, the pandemic may also add stress to the holiday season. With everyone experiencing eff ects of the pandemic, many families are in similar fi nancial situations this year. Initiate extended conversations with family, friends, or colleagues about ways to scale back over the holidays. Challenge loved ones to exchange DIY gifts rather than purchased ones. Consider your time, talents, and resources and how you can gift what you have instead of buying “stuff .” Finally, be intentional about having fun this holiday season. Having fun does not have to be expensive. Make hot chocolate at home, then bundle up and drive around town to look at holiday lights.
Stuck at home? Have a karaoke contest to your favorite holiday songs. Travel canceled? Use your downtime to declutter a space, then make plans to sell or donate what you no longer need. For more ways to use less, spend less, and stress less this holiday season, contact your Kenton County Cooperative Extension offi ce at 356-3155 to learn how to participate in the Use Less, Spend Wi$e Challenge!

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, the Centers for Disease Control is warning people of the risk involved in family gatherings in light of the coronavirus pandemic. While the CDC hasn’t fl at out recommended canceling holiday gatherings altogether, it has said large indoor gatherings can pose a higher risk than celebrating with your immediate household. “Thanksgiving is a time when many families travel long distances to celebrate together. Travel increases the chance of getting and spreading the virus that causes COVID-19. Staying home is the best way to protect yourself and others,” the CDC said. The CDC said indoor gatherings generally pose more risk than outdoor gatherings and gatherings that last longer pose more risk than shorter gatherings. While the CDC does not have “a limit

Spend less In addition to using less, being a mindful consumer includes spending wisely. Developing wise spending habits is important all year long, including the holiday season. When we fi nd ways to reduce spending, we create opportunities to save. If you worry your holiday budget will be tighter this year, look for ways to cut unnecessary expenses. h Are there monthly subscriptions you can cancel, such as streaming or cable services, unused memberships, or auto-deliveries?
