‘Just do what we can. That’s all we can do’ Anderson Ferry ﬂ oats on during bridge closure

Quinlan Bentley Cincinnati Enquirer | USA TODAY NETWORK

n a clear, calm Thursday afternoon, Captain John James guides the Boone No. 9 back and forth across the murky-green Ohio River. James makes about nine trips every hour in the diesel-fueled ferryboat, carrying passengers from his hometown of Constance, Kentucky to the banks of Delhi Township. “A day like this, it’s a beautiful day. You couldn’t ask for better than this,” said James, who’s been working for Anderson Ferry on and oﬀ for about 36 years. An early afternoon usually sees about three or four cars board the ferry at a time, he said. But with the Brent Spence Bridge under repair, the ferry is transporting as many as 15 cars each trip. That’s the maximum number of passengers able to ﬁ t on the Boone No. 9, Anderson Ferry’s largest ferryboat, according to James. “Right now, you can come at any time during the day and be lined up to the highway,” he said.

The Brent Spence Bridge has been closed since Nov. 11, after a truck hauling potassium hydroxide and diesel fuel crashed into a jackknifed truck, causing a ﬁ re. And the closure of one of the region’s busiest transportation arteries has forced hundreds of thousands of Cincinnati-area drivers to search for a diﬀ erent route across the river.

When Ebony Friday, 38, got laid off of her “dream job” in the spring, she could no longer aff ord her son’s private school tuition. So he lost his dream school. Friday’s 13-year-old son, Emontaye, started at Holmes Middle School as Covington Independent Public Schools went virtual, in the midst of a global pandemic. Emontaye was stressed, his mother says. He liked his old school, and getting one-on-one, in-person attention. Plus, the Fridays did not have access to the internet at home. It wasn’t just diffi cult to adjust, Friday said. It was “impossible.” “I don’t give up on my son but I give up on the system because it’s too hard to contact these people and try to fi gure (it) out,” she said. Friday did not know how to help her son turn in paperwork, and quite frankly, she didn’t want him doing worksheets for hours on end, anyways. He can’t learn like that, she said. Instead, she made up her own lessons. She said she made sure he read and wrote each day. Friday is a self-proclaimed “fun mom” who makes up songs and dances to help Emontaye remember school lessons. She wants him to be successful, she said. “I just did the best I could because it was so hard. I didn’t even know, ain’t nobody contacting me – I didn’t even know when school started,” she said. “I had no clue.”

Covington Connect When it became clear that schools were going virtual, the City of Covington came up with a plan to address the digital divide plaguing its families. In July, the city announced a $2.5 million Covington Connect project: a partnership with Cincinnati Bell, the Housing Authority of Covington and Covington Independent Public Schools. Local computer ﬁ rms Blair Technology Group and ReGadget and the Houston-based nonproﬁ t CompU-Dopt also partnered with the city to help provide nearly 2,000 laptops for families in need.

And many drivers are choosing to take the ferry, once again turning the 200-year-old West Side mainstay into an interstate thoroughfare. Anderson Ferry usually transports anywhere from 400 to 500 cars per day, but since the bridge closure, that number has jumped to as many as 1,000 cars per day. James said it’s typical for business to pick up when any major interstate is under construction. “We have a lot of people that occasionally use the ferryboat when the trafﬁ c is as bad as it is,” he said. “When you have a major problem on the highway and you happen to be out in, say, Erlanger and you know there’s a wreck on the bridge, it’s just a short trip from Erlanger to the ferry.” Brandon Ingram, who’s worked for the past six years as a deckhand for Anderson Ferry, said he remembers it being busier when the Brent Spence

Roughly $1.5 million of the funding comes from federal and state Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act funding, offi cials said. Cincinnati Bell estimates an approximate $700,000 contribution, and Covington public school offi cials committed to contributing $250,000. “In a world where internet access is increasingly necessary to do everything from applying for a job to accessing health care to paying your rent to attending college to cashing your paycheck, too many families are eff ectively blocked from opportunities that many of us take for granted,” Covington Mayor Joe Meyer said. “Digital access isn’t a vague, symbolic concept – it’s an everyday need.” The project planned to both expand internet access and distribute free devices: laptops, desktop computers, Chromebooks, etc. Peter Bales, who managed the project, said they mapped out where schoolchildren live in the city to identify the most eff ective Wi-Fi access point placements, and came up with 124 locations. He says Covington is “very progressive” in dealing with the digital divide. “I’ve been in local government administration for 25 years and I think the things that the city of Covington (are) doing are absolutely on the forefront of what communities need to be doing,” Bales said. “Bridging that digital divide and creating those inclusive learning environments are just fantastic.” Project workers began installing WiFi access points in early October, Bales said. As of Nov. 24, 53 access points had

Bridge was undergoing maintenance in 2017. But this is a close second, he added. “I’ve seen the cars backed up a lot worse than they get now. The downfall is we are not a bridge,” James said, adding that some people have grown frustrated by the longer than usual wait times.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has said the goal is to have the bridge back open before Christmas on Dec. 23. So, passengers on Anderson Ferry could be stuck with a longer wait for at least another month. “We’ll just do what we can. That’s all we can do,” Anderson Ferry Owner Paul Anderson told The Enquirer. “Eventual-

ly everything will be back to normal when the bridge and the pandemic work out, and everybody will have a smile on their face.” But James, who’s looking to retire in May, said he’s undaunted by the recent inﬂ ux of passengers. “Whether it’s one car or 15 cars, my job stays pretty much the same.”

been installed, ready to go live in early December, and more than 1,000 devices had been distributed to Covington school-aged children. Bales said the city plans to complete the project by the end of the year and impact over 65% of Covington’s public school students.

three to ﬁ ve years at all units in City Heights and Latonia Terrace. “(COVID-19) exacerbated an existing problem, for sure,” Bradburn said. “Our biggest issue was access. That was even before COVID. You know, access to services, access to transportation, access to child care, access to health care. At least now our families have a way to reach out.” Since losing her job as a direct support professional at Redwood, a nonproﬁ t focused on children and adults with disabilities, Friday has been able to take advantage of the Housing Authority’s partnership with the Brighton Center. The partnership created a “City Futures” jobs plus program, where career developer Lydia Erickson has been able to work with Friday on her career goals. Friday gets emotional when she explains her relationship with Erickson. She says she calls Erickson all of the time, just to talk about everyday struggles and victories. “Part of my job description is being able to just sit and understand and just... get to know residents, like Ebony,” Erickson said. Erickson said there are a lot of parents in City Heights who have kids in daycare or at school, but are also trying to go to school themselves. It can be incredibly stressful, especially with a lack of resources available. “I ain’t gonna give up,” Friday said. “I’m gonna keep going. I gotta reach my goals, I can’t just sit here and do nothing because that’s not what I’m here for. I like to help people.”

she’s had to catch a bus with her children to get to the doctor’s offi ce – a trip made all the more nerve-wracking during a global pandemic. Internet access has allowed the family to use Telehealth services. Friday uses the internet to search for jobs, and for Zoom interviews. She can now do online banking and take online courses. She said she likes to explore diff erent subjects on the internet to keep learning new things. Even just knowing that internet resources are there for her to lean on helps out mentally, Friday said. For now, Friday is staying home with her son, checking in on him every fi ve minutes to make sure he’s staying focused on virtual school. Things are better now than in the spring, she said. When the pandemic hit, everything happened so fast: she lost her job, Emontaye was taken out of school and she wasn’t sure what would happen next. Technology and Wi-Fi were the last things on her priority list at that point, Friday said. But the programs and resources that came to her in the months that followed were a “blessing.” “It opened up a lot of doors for me,” she said.

Housing authority opportunities Simultaneously, as part of Covington Connect, the Housing Authority of Covington contracted with Cincinnati Bell to connect Latonia Terrace and City Heights to high-speed Wi-Fi, instantly impacting hundreds of families including Friday’s. Friday lives in City Heights, a Covington Housing Authority development just north of Latonia. Housing Authority of Covington Executive Director Steve Arlinghaus says there are 820 children living in City Heights and Latonia Terrace, and child residents at those two developments make up about half of the student body at Ninth District Elementary and Latonia Elementary schools. But Arlinghaus says the goal in bridging the digital divide in these communities was not just about the children. It was for the families. “In reality that’s where COVID-19, and I hate to say it that way, but it’s been a blessing,” Arlinghaus said. “Because it has given us the opportunity to do some things we would never have been able to do. And it also, it (shed) a light on what we’re dealing with here.” Housing Authority of Covington Deputy Director Chris Bradburn said she’s tried for years to get internet connectivity in these housing developments, but never had the funding to do so. With the CARES Act funds, they were able to prepay internet service for

Broccoli souﬄ é casserole ‘goes great alongside holiday ham or roast’ Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

One of the most popular side dishes when my friend Bert and I had a catering business was Bert’s broccoli souﬄ é casserole.

We made quantity batches of that casserole too many times to count. It’s also the casserole we both make for the holidays, but scaled down for a home cook. It goes great alongside holiday ham or roast. And since we’re all still at home quite a bit, think about making more homemade edible gifts in-

stead of spending hours at the mall or online. As I’ve mentioned before, the kitchen is a welcoming and nurturing place to gather and make good food, and memories. The hot cocoa mix recipe is one I made several years ago in cooking school for our gifts class. It continues to be a fun and unusual gift from the kitchen.

Gift givers hot cocoa mix Note this recipe uses Dutch processed cocoa. If all you have is regular or special dark cocoa, go right ahead and use either. Ingredients 3 cups nonfat milk powder 2 cups confectioners’ sugar 11⁄ 2 to 13⁄ 4 cups good quality-white chocolate chips 11⁄ 2 cups Dutch processed cocoa ⁄ 4 teaspoon salt

Small batch broccoli soufflé/casserole

Instructions Stir everything until combined. Then, working in 2 batches, process mixture in food processor until chips are really ground ﬁ ne, powdery like, about a minute or so.

You can make this several days ahead and reheat in microwave or in oven, covered, at 325 or so degrees until hot throughout.

Store in airtight container up to 2 months.

Now if you have a little more, or less, of the broccoli, no worries.

Nice to give with a pair of mugs. To serve: Heat 1 cup whole milk until steaming. Whisk in 1⁄ 3 cup mix until dissolved. Pour into mug and top with marshmallows or whipped cream.

Ingredients 1 pound broccoli florets or broccoli cuts, steamed just until crisp tender but not cooked all the way or use frozen broccoli, thawed to room temperature or again, steamed a bit to crisp tender

Did you know there are several kinds of cocoa powder? Regular cocoa

⁄ 4 to 1 cup real mayonnaise (1 cup makes it more creamy)

That’s what most of us grew up with. It’s a standard.

2 eggs, well beaten

Dutch processed

8 oz./2 cups sharp or extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Dutch process powder starts with beans washed in an alkaline solution which neutralizes acidity. That process makes it darker in color than regular cocoa, more mellow in flavor and easily dissolved.

1 can mushroom soup undiluted ⁄ 4 cup minced onions

Preheat oven to 350.

Above, the ﬁ nished broccoli soufflé casserole. Right the casserole before baking. PHOTOS BY

Spray 8x8 casserole.

RITA HEIKENFELD/FOR THE ENQUIRER

Mix mayonnaise, eggs, cheese, soup and onions. Pour over broccoli and mix well.

Tip:

Put in casserole and bake 35 minutes or so until bubbly and broccoli is cooked through.

If you want, just use 1 cup cheese mixed in and the other cup scattered on top prior to baking.

Instructions

Special dark cocoa That’s just a blend of regular and Dutch processed cocoa. Black cocoa It’s more heavily alkalized than Dutch processed. That gives it the dark, almost black color. Someone told me Oreos contain a type of black cocoa which gives the cookies that dark color. Not a substitute one for one with the others.

NKY restaurant pledges to stay open despite COVID-19 restrictions Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included reﬂ ects this article’s original publication date – Nov. 25. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates. A Northern Kentucky restaurant that previously fought Kentucky limits on indoor dining in the courts pledged Nov. 24 to keep serving seated diners despite new COVID-19 restrictions. Beans Cafe & Bakery of Hebron and Dry Ridge said in a Facebook post that the Northern Kentucky Health Department has suspended the restaurant’s license to serve food over not following the governor’s executive orders. Boone, Campbell, Grant and Kenton

counties are all listed as red zone counties by Kentucky, indicating a critical level of coronavirus spread in those communities. The restaurant pledged in the post to stay open until it is proven in the courts that it is lawful for the health department to suspend the license. Beans told patrons in the post: “Thanks for your continued patronage and support while we ﬁ ght for our constitutional right to earn a living.” The restaurant has refused to shut down indoor dining after Gov. Andy Beshear ordered closures over COVID-19. Beshear shut down indoor dining through Dec. 13 to stop the continued spread of the new coronavirus. Beshear’s order allowed restaurants

to continue delivery, to go, and outdoor services. Beans has an active legal defense fundraising eff ort on GoFundMe that had raised $3,620 as of Nov. 25. The Beans Cafe website promotes the GoFundMe with a message from the restaurant’s owner Richard Hayhoe. Hayhoe called the orders from Beshear’s offi ce “suff ocating.” “The irony of seating people inside a tent that is outside is not lost on the common sense of regular thinking but that is the ridiculousness of the rules we must follow,” Hayhoe said on the Beans website. “We will be keeping our dining room open until such time that we have exhausted every legal avenue to defend

the business against these unlawful guidelines.” Beans was among Northern Kentucky businesses that challenged prior Kentucky coronavirus orders in court. The lawsuit named the health department among the defendants. In early November, The Kentucky Supreme Court upheld Beshear’s authority to issue orders to slow the spread of COVID-19, according to a Courier-Journal article. Beans Cafe, Florence Speedway and Little Links to Learning daycare in Fort Wright are also all part of a class-action lawsuit in Boone Circuit Court ﬁ led against the health department that still seeks an injunction and punitive damages.

8 Cincinnati places that made it to the big screen Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse

Charles Infosino Special to Cincinnati Enquirer

700 Walnut St., Downtown; jeff ruby.com/cincinnati. Jeff Ruby's was another location featured in “Gotti.” “There was a lot of production people and planning involved in the weeks prior to the shoot. I believe they only fi lmed for a couple of nights at the most,” said Nate Leopold, a former server who now works in the corporate offi ce. “The director hung out at our restaurant every night for what seemed like a month or more. I guess it was his primary hangout while he was in town.” Wanna visit? The steakhouse is open on Monday through Thursday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., Friday to Saturday from 4:30 p.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday from 4:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Entrees range from $22 to $93.

Lights, camera, action! Cincinnati has been a popular fi lming location in the past few years. For good reason, we think. To celebrate our fi lmy pride, you can go and visit plenty of venues where famous movies were fi lmed around town. So, here are eight of them.

Arnold’s Bar and Grill 210 E. Eighth St., Downtown; arnoldsbarandgrill.com. Arnold's appeared in the 1991 fi lm “City of Hope,” which featured Vincent Spano, Stephen Mendillo and Chris Cooper. “They left a lighted bunch of grapes here as part of the set and we just left it and it hangs today,” co-owner Chris Breeden said. Parts of the 2015 movie “Carol,” which starred Rooney Mara and Cate Blanchett, were fi lmed at Arnold’s. “Rooney Mara and Jake Lacey performed a scene at the end of our bar where they were out on the town for a night. The curtains that we have up in our windows were installed for the fi lm. After they left, we just kept the curtains up and there they remain,” Breeden said. Arnold’s was featured in the fi lm “Marauders.” The 2016 fi lm directed by Steven C. Miller transformed Arnold's courtyard into a Mexican cantina for fi lming. Scenes starring Christopher Meloni, Bruce Willis and Adrian Grenier were fi lmed there. One of the fi nal scenes of the movie was fi lmed at Arnold's. (Spoiler alert!) "It is actually where Bruce Willis was killed,” Breeden said. Arnold’s also appeared in the 2019 fi lm “10 Minutes Gone,” featuring Bruce Willis, Michael Chiklis and Meadow Williams. Wanna visit? The bar features live music weekly. The hours of operation are Tuesday to Saturday from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Entrees range from $12 to $25.

Brotherton's was featured in the 2018 ﬁ lm “UFO,” which starred Alex Sharp, Gillian Anderson, Ella Purnell and Benjamin Beatty. “The scene is in the beginning of the movie. The young boy was sitting in the diner waiting for his mom (server) to get oﬀ work. He walks out into the street and sees the light of a UFO,” co-owner Ed McGinnis said. Wanna visit? Brotherton’s is open Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and on Sunday from 1 a.m. to 3 p.m. Entrees range from $3.95 to $15.95.

Fountain Square 520 Vine St., Downtown; myfountainsquare.com. Fountain Square appeared in the 2011 movie, “The Ides of March,” which featured George Clooney, Ryan Gosling and Evan Rachel Wood.

It is a city square famous for the Tyler Davidson Fountain, and hosts many events throughout the year. Fountain Square is surrounded by restaurants, shops, hotels and oﬃ ces. Most events are free, but some, like ice skating, are not.

3908 Harrison Ave., Cheviot; maurys-steakhouse.com. Maury's had a star appearance in “Carol.” “We left a few of the changes or modiﬁ cations that the crew made to the restaurant (covering the only T.V., building a box around some wrought iron posts, painting, lights, etc.) in place,” owner Matt Huesman said. “There is a mural on the wall in the upstairs dining room of Maury's that Haynes (the director) liked so well that he had a photographer come in and shoot it and had it reproduced to place in the shot in the back of the dining room where the women were seated. I asked him what he intended to do with the photo print and he said he would love to take it but since that was not feasible, he would leave it if we wished. It is a permanent part of the ‘Carol’ room now. We have framed and hung photos of the director and actresses taken during the ﬁ lming around the room and the booth where they sat. We still have guests come in and request to sit in the 'Carol' booth.” Wanna visit? Maury’s Tiny Cove is open on weekdays from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Entrees range from $12.50 to $30.95.

Todd and his crew stayed in our hotel, as well.” The 2019 fi lm “Dark Waters” featured Mark Ruff alo, Anne Hathaway and Tim Robbins. The hotel was also featured in the 2017 fi lm “The Killing of a Sacred Deer,” which starred Barry G. Bernson, Herb Cailllouet and Bill Camp. “The 'Killing of a Sacred Deer' scene was a cocktail reception in our Hall of Mirrors,” Tyson said.

OPINION

Go pound sand, Northern Kentucky:

Louisville won’t pay to replace your Brent Spence Bridge Joseph Gerth Opinion Columnist | Louisville Courier Journal USA TODAY NETWORK

Dear Northern Kentucky, It’s rare that I think I can speak for the vast majority of those in the Louisville area, but your hand-wringing over the federal funds you believe are needed to replace the Brent Spence Bridge gives me that opportunity. Go pound sand! You’re going to need a lot of it, as it’s one of the primary components of the copious amounts of concrete you’re going to need to build a new bridge — something that has needed to be done for years. (The recent fi ery crash that has put the 60-year-old span out of commission for the next month or so drove home that point.) But you’re going to need to do it on your own. We, here in Louisville, are already paying for our two new bridges and we don’t recall you guys stepping up to help with the bills. No sir. In fact, it’s you guys who keep electing Republicans like U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie, who votes against funding for virtually everything including money to help Americans recover from natural disasters like fl oods, tornados and hurricanes. Heck, he even voted against the CARES Act funding to help people deal with the fallout from the coronavirus pandemic. But it’s not just him. And it’s just not his specifi c votes on things like emergency funding. It’s this whole idea that taxes are bad that has swept the country — and particularly the Republican Party, which so many of you support — ever since Ronald Reagan was president. You, and the people you vote for, like Sens. Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul are exactly why there is no money to build a new span across the river. Don’t believe me? How’s this for you? When the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956 passed, it paid for creating and maintaining the interstate highway system by raising the federal excise tax on gasoline from 2 cents to 3 cents per gallon. Over the years, the tax was occasionally increased to account for infl ation. Until 1993. That’s the last year Congress voted to

increase the tax, upping it to 18.4 cents per gallon. That’s where the tax remains. When you account for inﬂ ation, we’re paying way less than we were after passage of the 1956 law. But what is really incredible is, we are paying 0.75 cents less per gallon now than we were before the law funding the highway system passed. To match the 1956 tax rate, the current rate would be 28.72 cents per gallon. To match the 1993 tax rate, we would have to raise the tax rate to 33.34 cents per gallon. What makes it even worse is the proliferation of electric and hybrid cars and trucks that pay little or no gasoline tax at all, all the while causing the same congestion and wear and tear as gaspowered vehicles. We once had the best highways in the world after President Dwight Eisenhower, a Republican, mind you, pushed through a tax increase to pay for them. Now, we’ve let our roads fall into disrepair and our bridges crumble because Congress, so often led by Republican anti-tax zealots, have refused to raise the money needed to repair and upgrade

our interstate highways. Instead, the federal government has pushed the paltry sums raised by the antiquated tax rate to the states in block grants and told us we’d have to fi nd the majority of funds needed to build mega projects on our own. After fi ghting for tolls for years, we in Louisville fi nally gave in. That’s something you, my dear friends in Northern Kentucky, must do. It’s something that you must get your politicians — both Republican and Democrat to do — if you want the bridge replaced before it topples into the Ohio River. That’s why people in Louisville and in Southern Indiana are now paying

$4.31 each time they take their car across one of the toll bridges. And that’s why you will have to do the same. If you don’t like that, elect people who will impose a reasonable tax rate that allows the federal government to repair and replace our aging interstate system. Once you do that, we’ll be happy to help pay for your new Ohio River bridge. Just so long as you pay oﬀ the debt on our bridges ﬁ rst.

Men’s Virility Restored in Clinical Trial; 275% More Blood Flow in 5 Minutes A newly improved version of America’s best-selling male performance enhancer gives 70-year-old men the ability and stamina they enjoyed in their 30’s. The Diocese of Covington schools had announced Saturday that in-person classes would resume Dec. 2. That return is now unlikely following Sunday’s ruling by the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Covington Catholic High School in Park Hills is among the Diocese of Covington schools. ALBERT CESARE/THE ENQUIRER

Sixth Circuit backs Beshear’s decision to halt all in-person classes Quinlan Bentley Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Sunday that Gov. Andy Beshear’s executive order to cease all in-person school instruction in Kentucky can stand. This includes the instruction provided by religious schools. This latest decision overrules U.S. District Judge Gregory Van Tatenhove’s preliminary injunction issued Nov. 25 that allowed parochial schools to continue classes. The Diocese of Covington schools had announced Saturday that in-person classes would resume Dec. 2. That return is now unlikely following Sunday’s ruling by the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Diocese of Covington has yet to release a statement regarding the ruling and oﬃ cials didn’t immediately respond to the Enquirer’s request for comment. Under Beshear’s executive order, middle schools and high schools will remain remote through the end of the semester in January. Elementary schools may reopen Dec. 7 if their county is not in the red zone and the school follows healthy at-school guidance. As of Sunday, all four Northern Ken-

tucky counties are in the red zone. In the past three weeks, six of the diocese’s 37 schools had to temporarily cease in-person instruction, McGuire wrote in a letter to parents on Saturday. Three of those schools lacked an adequate number of substitute teachers and the other three experienced an increase in the number of students in quarantine, she added. “Sadly, some of our school cases and quarantines could have been avoided if all of our families would have followed the protocols. Since we all truly desire to sustain in-person instruction then we must recommit ourselves to the protocols,” McGuire wrote. But the morning after Beshear’s order, the diocese recorded zero positive cases of COVID-19 among students and staﬀ in 24 of its schools, she wrote. The diocese has been urging parents to keep children home from school if anyone in the household is experiencing symptoms of or has been exposed to COVID-19. Attending or hosting gatherings is also discouraged. Kentucky reported 2,437 new coronavirus cases and 14 new deaths on Saturday.

Feds: Cincinnati man gets 16 years for drug traﬃ cking Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A Cincinnati man was sentenced in Covington on Nov. 23 to 16 years in prison after oﬃ cials said they seized over 26 grams of methamphetamine from his car last October. Dontez Justice, 33, pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine in August. He faced a minimum of 10 years prison time for the charges. Justice has two prior drug traﬃ cking convictions, according to a release from the U.S. Department of Justice. He was previously convicted on traf-

fi cking in cocaine in Campbell and Kenton counties. The release states a cooperating source working with the Drug Enforcement Administration arranged a purchase of methamphetamine from Justice on Oct. 17, 2019. Law enforcement offi cers conducted a traffi c stop and found methamphetamine in Justice's car, seizing 26.3 grams of the drug. The release states Justice admitted he was en route to deliver the methamphetamine when the traffi c stop was conducted. Under federal law, Justice must serve 85% of his prison sentence and will be on probation for eight years following his release, offi cials said.

NKY burglary investigation leads to 3 arrests in Boone Co. Quinlan Bentley Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Deputies with the Boone County Sheriff ’s Offi ce made several arrests Nov. 22 in connection to a string of burglaries from Halperns’ Steak and Seafood in Walton, Kentucky, according to a press release. Following a months-long investigation, deputies arrested Pedro Gonzalez, 31, of Louisville, Alberto Maldanado, 26, of Louisville and Yanisleydis Rodriguez, 23, also of Louisville, the release states. The suspects were surveilling the business Nov. 22 before deputies made the arrest, according to the release. During a traffi c stop, deputies found the suspects in possession of radios, black gloves and several masks, the release states. Those items were allegedly used during six previous break-ins from the same business, in which an

estimated $30,000 to $50,000 in raw meat was stolen. The suspects admitted in an interview that they had planned to burglarize the business again, the release states. Gonzalez was charged with six counts of burglary, six counts of theft, one count of attempted burglary and one count of carrying a concealed weapon, among other charges, according to the release. Maldanado was charged with burglary, attempted burglary and possession of burglary tools, the release states. Rodriguez faces an attempted burglary charge as well as a charge for possession of burglary tools. Maldanado and Rodriguez are thought to be accomplices, oﬃ cials said. All three suspects were taken to the Boone County Detention Center, according to the release.

Covington Catholic rallies for a playoﬀ win Charlie Goldsmith Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Covington Catholic head coach Eddie Eviston has told quarterback Caleb Jacob throughout the season that the offense was going to run through him. But Eviston waited to unleash Jacob’s full potential until the Kentucky 5A district championship game. Using a game-plan that for the fi rst time featured Jacob’s running ability, Jacob fi nished with fi ve rushing touchdowns and 96 rushing yards in Covington Catholic’s 38-21 win over Highlands on Friday. And the Colonels won the district title.

“This season has been so weird that you’re still fi guring out what your offense’s identity is,” Eviston said. “We thought we’d run him a little bit more tonight as well as put it in the air more. He did a great job.” When the defending Kentucky 5A champions were in trouble on Friday, Covington Catholic turned to its veteran quarterback. In the middle of the third quarter, the Colonels trailed Highlands 14-10. Jacob helped the off ense fi nd its confi dence. He started by completing a 35-yard pass to Ethan Reardon. A few plays later, Jacob ran up the middle for a touchdown, and Covington Catholic never gave up

the lead again. Jacob completed seven of his 16 passing attempts, but he threw for 108 yards. “We had to make some plays through the air, and you saw that on the second drive of the second half,” Eviston said. “That helps us loosen up a little bit. And it led us to some success.” One possession later, Jacob tacked on another touchdown run. By the end of the game, he added two more scores, and the Colonels sprinted out to a 17point lead late in the fourth quarter. See COVINGTON, Page 2B

Covington Catholic High School football will advance to the state fi nal four without a game this week after the Kentucky High School Athletic Association announced their game with Madison Southern Friday was canceled. CovCath’s game with Madison Southern in a Class 5A regional fi nal was announced as a forfeit by the KHSAA Monday afternoon. The Richmond Register, a newspaper that covers Madison Southern, tweeted that “Because of COVID-19 issues, the Eagles have had to withdraw from the Class 5A playoff s.” Neither school had made an offi cial announcement as of 4 p.m. Monday. Madison Southern is the fi rst team to withdraw from the third round of the playoff s. Three teams forfeited their district championship games last week, including Bishop Brossart. More than 20 teams around the state opted out of entering the playoff s for the fi rst round, including local teams Campbell County, Holy Cross and Bellevue. CovCath defeated Madison Southern, 49-13, in the 2017 5A state championship game, and 49-9 last year in the state quarterfi nals en route to the 2019 state championship. CovCath is 54-2 overall since the beginning of the 2017 season. CovCath, now 10-1 overall, advances to the state semifi nals. The Colonels are ranked second in Class 5A in the KHSAA RPI ratings among teams still alive in the tournament, so CovCath will play at home next week regardless of the opponent. The Colonels’ opponent will be determined by the outcome of the other three state quarterfi nals played this weekend.

Beechwood wins in ﬁ rst game in nearly a month Alex Harrison Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Beechwood Tigers set the tone well before kickoff how they expected Friday’s rematch with Lloyd Memorial to go. The Tigers took the fi eld with fi reworks blasting off behind them as the players ran through a sign that read, “History repeats itself. 49-0.” The sign referred to Oct. 16 when Beechwood beat the Juggernauts 49-0 at Beechwood. On Friday, the teams met again in the Class 2A playoff s with the Tigers earning another shutout home win, 38-0. The Tigers and the Juggernauts traded punts on the game’s fi rst two possessions and Lloyd had to punt again their second possession. A Tiger got a piece of the punt and Beechwood took over at Lloyd’s 24-yard line. It took just one play for Beechwood quarterback Cameron Hergott to race into the endzone for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead. Lloyd used most of the second quarter on a drive that ended with a turnover on downs at Beechwood’s 1-yard line. Juggernaut quarterback Jacob Davidson and Amari Riley drove nearly the length of the fi eld before getting a fourth-and-goal at the 2-yard line. Davidson rushed to his right but advanced just 1 yard, giving up the ball with no points. Hergott and his mate in the backfi eld Avery Courtney ran the off ense smoothSee BEECHWOOD, Page 2B

Colonels air it out for district title over Ryle James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

UNION – Ryle tried to emphasize the running game on defense and make Dixie Heights throw the ball Friday when the teams met for the KHSAA 6A, District 6 football championship at Ryle’s Borland Stadium. Dixie made the Raiders pay for that, scoring three touchdowns in a six-minute span of the third quarter, then the Colonels held on to win 41-36. Dixie avenged a 44-14 win by the Raiders on Oct. 16 and will move on to the regional fi nal at Trinity (7-0). “I’m shocked. I have no words,” said Dixie Heights junior Kel Hawkins “It’s crazy. People thought we were going to lose because of the last game, but we showed up today. We fi ght. We never quit. We’re hungry, now we have to move on. We have more games to come.” The Colonels exploded on off ense, as junior quarterback Logan Landers completed 22-of-26 passes for 359 yards and fi ve touchdowns, and also rushed for 72 yards. Four of the TDs were to junior Devin Holbert, who caught 14 passes for 187 yards. Junior Pierce Rohlman added 87 rushing yards as the Colonels racked up over 500 for the night Hawkins had a key 74-yard scoring play and two interceptions to give him eight for the season. “Holbert and Hawkins, they can vertically get down the fi eld,” said Dixie head coach Dave Brossart. “They block well, they run well, they can catch anything you throw to them. Logan kept us cool the whole day. Ryle did a great job taking our run away and they forced us to throw it, which isn’t our style, and our kids came up big play after play.” Landers threw for 282 yards last week to lead the Colonels from 20 points down late in the third quarter to defeat Simon Kenton, 34-33. His performance didn’t surprise his receivers. “We’re on the fi eld every single day: Me, Holbert, all of us,” Hawkins said. “We worked so hard for this. Logan, he stepped up so much. He’s leading us to state this year. He’s amazing.” Ryle led 16-6 in the second quarter before the Colonels came back. Ryle senior Bradyn Lyons threw for 232 yards in his fi nal game. Ryle took the opening kickoff and marched 65 yards in four plays. Lyons completed a 28-yard pass to Kaden Gardner and a 15-yard pass to Jackson McGinniss. Senior Mathias Cusick scored his eighth TD of the year just 1:13 into the game. The teams traded stops of each other on fourth-down conversions. On Dixie’s second drive of the game, Landers found Holbert for a deep ball, gaining 41 yards. Rohlman scored his 11th touchdown of the season. The kick failed, and Ryle led 8-6 with 2:19 to go in the fi rst period. Ryle took a two-score lead after sophomore Kaden Gardner returned a punt

“How the off ense goes is how the quarterback goes,” Eviston said. “I’m very proud of how (Jacob) stepped up and put the off ense on his shoulders tonight.” Covington Catholic came away with a victory over one of its biggest rivals. Even though the Colonels beat Highlands 42-0 earlier this season, Eviston said he expected a closer competition on Friday. He added that Highlands came out well coached, understanding what Covington Catholic’s off ense wanted to do in the fi rst half. “You know it’s going to be a battle, and you know we’re going to get their very best,” Eviston said. “They came out

ly on Beechwood’s next possession. Both ran for chunks of yards before Hergott found 26 yards on a scramble, setting up his own 4-yard touchdown run on the next play, giving Beechwood a 14-0 lead. “They were in a prevent defense because the clock was winding down into the second half,” Hergott said of his touchdown-setting scramble. “We called a pass play and saw everybody drop back into coverage. I waited a little bit, made a lineman miss and I just ran. I knew I’d be able to make some people

50 yards to the Dixie 7. Sophomore Lukas Colemire scored on a Wildcat snap, then scored again on a two-pointer after a Dixie penalty, and Ryle led 16-6. Dixie scored quickly with 7:25 to play in the second quarter, completing an 80yard drive on a 37-yard scoring pass from Landers to Holbert. The PAT made it 16-13, Ryle. Momentum shifted when Gardner intercepted a Landers pass and returned it deep into Dixie territory, but the play was called back by a penalty. The teams traded punts, then they had three combined turnovers in the fi nal minutes of the half. On consecutive plays, Dixie and Ryle fumbled to the other team at the end of a long pass play, and Hawkins intercepted a long pass by Lyons to end a Ryle threat. Dixie had 224 yards off ense in the fi rst half to 171 for the Raiders. Landers was 13-of-14 for 161 yards in the fi rst half. Dixie started the second half with a 50-yard kickoff return by senior Simon

Sharp to the Ryle 31. On fourth-and-two from the Ryle 29, Landers found Holbert wide open near the goal line for his second TD catch of the game. On Ryle’s next drive, Rohlman intercepted Lyons and returned the ball to the Ryle 35. On third and 9 from the 14, Landers found Holbert again for a score, and Dixie led 27-16. Dixie forced a punt, and on the second play of the Colonels’ next drive, Hawkins got behind everybody and Landers found him for a long pass and a 74-yard touchdown, and Dixie led 34-16 six minutes into the third quarter. Ryle scored twice to pull within ﬁ ve at 34-29 with 9:30 to go in the game. Then, Dixie moved to the Ryle 27 on two big runs by Rohlman of nine and 17 yards, but faced fourth and seven from the Ryle 27. On that play, Landers rolled out to his right and lofted the ball to Holbert, who leaped to catch the ball as it went over a defender’s shoulder. He broke a tackle and went in for his fourth TD of the

game. Ryle scored with 1:25 to play, but junior Gabe Thelen recovered the onside kick, and the Colonels ran the clock out. Brossart said three early turnovers set the tone in the fi rst game against Ryle, and that despite falling behind by 10 in this one, the Colonels kept their composure. “Even giving up 36 points, our defense did a lot of good stuff ,” Brossart said. “We put a lot of pressure on the quarterback. We expected a great football game and that’s what we got. I’m glad we won this one and not the fi rst one.” Dixie Heights 6 7 21 7-41 Ryle 8 8 7 13-36

miss and get some yards.” The 14-0 lead for the Tigers was it for the fi rst half, making the threat of repeating history seem like it might fall fl at. “They ate a lot of clock on off ense,” Beechwood head coach Noel Rash said of how Lloyd kept the game close. “They sustained a drive and we got the ball one time in the second quarter. We came out very fl at and then they started hitting us in the mouth and it took us a while to adjust.” “A while” for Beechwood turned out to be just that fi rst half. The Tigers exploded coming out in the second half. The only skid was on the opening drive of the half when a pass from Hergott was tipped and

Lloyd’s Kaiden Zulager picked it oﬀ the ground for an interception. Beechwood forced a stop and then scored three touchdowns in the quarter on another rush by Hergott and then two passing scores. Leading 17-0, Hergott found a wideopen receiver in the endzone, but a holding penalty wiped out the touchdown. In the next play, Hergott again launched a ball to an open Cole Stammer for a 42-yard touchdown. The Tigers took a 31-0 lead on another one-play drive. After forcing another turnover on downs, Hergott hit Liam McCormack for a 29-yard touchdown just before the end of the fourth quarter. Beechwood put an exclamation point on the win in the fourth quarter when a

Tanner Schultz interception turned into a scoring run for Torin O’Shea. Beechwood improved to 7-2 on the year with its fi fth-straight win. The Tigers hadn’t played since Oct. 30 because of playoff byes and canceled games. In those fi ve games, which includes the last win over the Juggernauts, Beechwood outscored its opponents 236-13.

‘Queen’s Gambit’ based on novel by Kentucky author Jeff Suess Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The popular Netﬂ ix series “The Queen’s Gambit,” starring Anya TaylorJoy as chess prodigy Beth Harmon, has renewed attention on the 1983 novel by the late Kentucky author Walter Tevis on which the show is based. “The Queen’s Gambit” tells the ﬁ ctional story of an orphan who struggles with drugs and alcohol as she strives to become the world’s greatest chess player. The novel was one of the last in Tevis’ distinguished writing career. He was living in Erlanger and teach-

ing English and creative writing at the University of Kentucky’s branch campus in Covington (before it broke off as Northern Kentucky University) in 1959 when he sold his fi rst novel, “The Hustler,” about pool hustler Fast Eddie. The novel was made into the 1961 fi lm starring Paul Newman and Jackie Gleason. Tevis, who was born in San Francisco, moved to Lexington when he was 10 and learned to play pool with a friend who had his own pool table at home. “Every day after school he and his friend played pool until they were ready to drop, and then frequently played chess afterwards for relaxation,” The En-

quirer wrote in a 1959 feature on Tevis. With the success of “The Hustler,” Tevis left teaching in order to write. His science-fi ction novel “The Man Who Fell to Earth,” published in 1963, and was made into the 1976 fi lm starring David Bowie. Tevis taught at Ohio University for several years, then returned to novel writing in the early 1980s when he published “The Queen’s Gambit,” and the “Hustler” sequel, “The Color of Money,” which was adapted by Martin Scorsese in his 1986 fi lm with Newman and Tom Cruise. Tevis died in 1984 just after “The Color of Money” was published. He is buried in Richmond, Kentucky.

COMMUNITY NEWS New female entrepreneurs take flight with Aviatra Accelerators and SCORE Mentors COVINGTON – Six female entrepreneurs from greater Cincinnati competed Oct. 22 in the Flight Night Pitch Competition. Celeste Maksim took ﬁ rst place pitching her software platform, Maksimus Productions. Maksim was awarded the top prize: $5,000 and the title of 2020 Aviatra Flight Night Winner. The online competition was hosted by Aviatra Accelerators, which held a watch party and awards presentation at CoHatch in Mason. More than 500 viewers watched the competition remotely and voted Bailey Bryant, pitching her business, Healthmatch360, as the Fan Favorite. Also watching were the participants’ mentors from SCORE Greater Cincinnati, who counseled them throughout the 12week program. Maksim was counseled by SCORE Mentor Kelly Dehan and Bryant was counseled by SCORE Mentor Bob Leslie. “Each year that we host Flight Night to celebrate and promote another cohort of female founders I am more and more impressed,” said Nancy Aichholz, CEO and president of Aviatra Accelerators. “This group in particular had great attitudes, terriﬁ c engagement and didn’t allow COVID restrictions to dampen their dreams for a second.” The participants were: Flight Night Winner ($5,000 prize) h Celeste Maksim, Maksimus First Runners-Up ($1,000 prize) h Margo Moskin, SoMi LLc h Bailey Bryant, Health Match 360 Second Runners-Up ($500 prize) h Keri Kilroy, Donna’s Gourmet Cookies h Heather Couch, Couch Family BBQ, Catering and Desserts h Megan McClendon, One Sweet Box As part of the celebration, Aviatra raised more than $8,500 for the Pat McKay Memorial Scholarship and presented awards to all participants.

Rotary Club of Florence joins Steinford Toy Foundation to bring a merry Christmas to thousands of NKY children The Rotary Club of Florence and Steinford Toy Foundation have joined forces again in 2020 in order to bring joy this holiday season to thousands of children in Northern Kentucky. Donations of unwrapped new or gently used toys are being received at the locations listed below. Donations will be accepted through Monday, Dec. 7. “Our community cares and Christmas joy is needed more than ever. Please drop new toys oﬀ at any of the listed locations between Nov. 23 and Dec. 7. Our Rotary Club of Florence volunteer team will pickup and send your gifts to the Steinford Toy Foundation. In turn, your donated toys will be delivered by Steinford Toy Foundation volunteers directly to children to brighten Christmas and bless over 3,000 children in Northern Ken-

tucky,” states Rotary Club of Florence Project Chairperson Roger Babik of Master Provisions. During the Great Depression, a Northern Kentucky couple, Rose and George Steinford, witnessed many needy children in their neighborhood who were not experiencing the joys of Christmas. Rose and George, who had no children of their own, assumed the roles of Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus by purchasing, repairing and distributing used toys to these children. Today, that tradition is continued through the Steinford Toy Foundation, founded in 1973, and the Foundation’s volunteers that collect and distribute the toys. h Master Provisions - Florence 7725 Foundation Drive h St. Elizabeth – Florence 4900 Houston Road h St. Elizabeth – Covington 1500 James Simpson Jr Way h St. Elizabeth – Ft Thomas 85 North Grand Avenue h St. Elizabeth – Edgewood 1 Medical Village Drive h Heritage Bank 16 Locations h RC Durr YMCA - Burlington 5874 Veterans Way h YMCA Campbell County – Ft Thomas 1437 S Ft Thomas Avenue h Ziegler & Schneider – Crescent Springs

‘Christmas Break GO Boxes’ makes Christmas ‘merry’ again for local hungry children Christmas isn’t always “merry” for hungry children in Boone, Kenton and Campbell counties and with the way this year has gone, it’s even worse in 2020. The holiday break from school is a daunting time not looked forward to by thousands of hungry children in Northern Kentucky. These children, who typically must rely on the Free & Reduced Lunch Program for meals during the school year, know that when school ends, so does their primary food source. Thanks to GO Pantry’s “Christmas Break GO Box” campaign, hundreds of those kids, in the worst of the worst situations, will have enough to eat over Christmas and New Year’s. GO Pantry, a local nonproﬁ t organization made up of volunteers, is committed to providing food to these Northern Kentucky children who do not have enough to eat at home over the Christmas holidays. “During the school year, many kids get their only meals at school through free and reduced meal programs,” said Laura

Sam Collier, Dean of Manufacturing and Transportation Technologies, Gateway Community and Technical College, and Carolyn McNerney, Product Sale Director, GSKWR.

Cranberries: The holiday fruit

Dumancic, a Union mother of three and founder/director of GO Pantry. “That’s a reliable source of healthy, fi lling food for many kids. When you take that away during Christmas break, many kids go hungry.” Food drives are the organization’s primary source to feed children on weekends during the school year and the “Christmas Break Go Box” campaign is critical to make certain these hungry kiddos have enough to get them thru the holiday break. While it would be ideal, not all children eligible for the Free & Reduced Lunch Program will receive GO Pantry support from the Christmas break campaign. In Boone & Kenton counties alone, 30% of all students (11,000 children) are eligible for the Free & Reduced Lunch Program – there are just too many children for the organization to serve. The children receiving GO Pantry “Christmas Break GO Boxes” have been identifi ed by their schools as those in the most need. In most cases, a teacher has physically recognized that the child is hungry and struggling and identifi ed as truly at risk of not eating on the days they are away from school. For the 2020 holiday break, GO Pantry hopes provide a minimum of 900 children with a Christmas Break GO Box containing the emergency food assistance they need to help get through the 2-week school break. Filling one box at time, generous donors can sign up to “fi ll” a go box with items GO Pantry has strategically listed as necessary to cover the time away from school. These boxes are then delivered in a

Thanksgiving is already over, and maybe you enjoyed some cranberries with your meal. Cranberries seem to be another symbol of our holiday season in general, and cranberry sauce is a staple at most dinners that include turkey. Fresh cranberries rarely are eaten for 10 months of the year. We may eat canned jellied cranberry sauce, cranberry juice or dried sweetened cranberries, but not the wonderful, tart, fresh cranberry. So from October thru December take advantage of fresh berries in the produce aisle at your favorite grocery store. The American Cranberry is native to North America and grows wild from Canada as far south as the mountains in North Carolina. Cranberries are cultivated commercially in Canada and ﬁ ve states: Massachusetts, New Jersey and Wisconsin, where the berry is native; and Washington and Oregon, to which cranberries were introduced from Massachusetts. Fresh whole berries are more expensive because they have to be hand-picked to avoid the damage caused by machinepicking. When choosing fresh cranberries to purchase, pick up the bag and inspect it. Look to see that the berries are shiny, plump and range in color from bright light red to dark red. If the package has several berries that are soft, put it back and choose another package. When you are ready to use the cranberries, wash them gently by rubbing them under running tap water. Discard shriveled berries or those with brown spots. Good, ripe cranberries will bounce, which is why they are nicknamed “bounce berries”. Fresh cranberries should be stored in a

tightly-sealed plastic bag in the refrigerator. As with all berries, if one starts getting soft and decaying, the others will quickly soften and decay also. Be sure to sort out the soft ones, if you plan to store them for more than a few days. Fresh cranberries may last from 2 weeks up to 2 months in the refrigerator. Cooked cranberries can last up to a month in a covered container in the refrigerator. Washed cranberries may be frozen for up to 1 year in airtight bags. You may substitute sweetened dried cranberries for fresh or frozen cranberries in baked recipes. Cranberries contain about 25 calories in ½ cup of fresh berries and 10% of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin C, plus plenty of natural antioxidants. Fresh cranberries contain no cholesterol, virtually no fat and very little sodium. Whole fresh cranberries and any foods that are hard, round or diﬃ cult to chew can sometimes lodge in small airways, causing a child to choke. Before serving cranberries to a child under age three, always chop the raw berry or cook them until they are tender. There is nothing to compare to fresh cranberry sauce. Consider making some this holiday season. You will ﬁ nd a basic recipe on the back of the package of cranberries. It only takes about 15 minutes. Try cranberries all year long, not only at Thanksgiving or Christmas. Chicken and pork dishes are great with fresh cranberry relish, or try this recipe for a nice change. Cranberry Applesauce 7 or 8 medium apples, peeled, cored and chopped 1½ cups fresh or frozen cranberries 1 cup water ½ teaspoon cinnamon ½ teaspoon salt 1 ⁄ 3 cup brown sugar 1. Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat. Simmer 20 to 30 minutes. 2. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Use a potato masher or fork to mash mixture to the consistency desired. Serve warm or cold. 3. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours. Yield 6 cups.
