Nurse practitioner makes the homeless her priority Runs outreach eﬀ ort on Covington’s streets Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Jennifer Cline helped Aaron Hoskins clean his camp on the bank of the Ohio River. It had been ransacked and his blankets, shoes, shirts and foam mattress topper he used as a bed were scattered on the grass. Hoskins has experienced homelessness for four months now. Cline, 56, folded a blanket and asked the 25-year-old how he was, her breath visible in the crisp air. This is part of Cline’s routine as an independent nurse practitioner. “I kind of made For three years now, she’s traveled around it my business Covington to check on people who don’t have to kind of be shelter.

The Coast Guard says the reason a barge slammed into the Ludlow Bromley Yacht Club in October was because a person on barge fell asleep at the controls. On Oct. 2, a 1,200-foot tow and barge combination carrying rock, sand and gravel collided with the longstanding club, ripping the restaurant and marina in half. Boats docked there were also damaged. On Dec. 12, the U.S. Coast Guard Marine Safety Detachment Cincinnati released the ﬁ nding of its investigation into the incident. The towing vessel – named the Dale Artigue – operated by Florida Marine Transport was pushing 15 loaded barges and was undamaged in the crash.

“The causal factors included the Mate on-watch falling asleep while at the controls thereby failing to maintain a proper watch as the vessel was underway up-bound on the Ohio River at Mile Marker 474,” the Coast Guard said. Oﬃ cials said two additional deckhands on the vessel at the time were not assigned to navigation duties. The Coast Guard is taking enforcement action, but will not comment further until the case is adjudicated. The name of the person accused of fall asleep at the controls was not released by the Coast Guard. The Dale Artigue, named for the late chief operating oﬃ cer of Florida Marine Transport, is still on the water. This month, it’s traveled to Paducah, Kentucky; Rockport, Indiana; and Cape Girardeau, Missouri, along with other locations.

Senator: Add constitutional amendment to restrict pardons Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Former Gov. Matt Bevin could be the last Kentucky governor able to give out pardons in his ﬁ nal weeks. Bevin’s 428 pardons and commutations shocked Kentuckians. A local Independence man was pardoned after he was convicted last year of raping a 9year-old. Another pardon went to a convicted killer in Knox County whose brother hosted a campaign fundraiser for Bevin. Now, Northern Kentucky state Senator Chris McDaniel wants to restrict how future governors give out pardons. McDaniel, a Republican who represents parts McDaniel of Kenton County, said in statement he wants to make sure a governor can’t give out pardons or commuted sentences in the month leading up to an election and for the time between an election and swearing-in of a new governor, according to a statement from McDaniel’s ofﬁ ce. McDaniel plans to put the restrictions in place with a constitutional amendment, which he will introduce in the 2020 legislative session. If he’s successful, there wouldn’t be any lastminute pardons from outgoing governors. “If a governor wants to use the power to commute and pardon, he should be willing to stand in front of the voters and be held accountable for those actions,” McDaniel said in the statement.

Pardons in Northern Kentucky Bevin pardoned a few individuals in Northern Kentucky. A few of those are: ❚ Micah Schoettle, 41, who was con-

victed last year of raping a 9-year-old child in Kenton County and sentenced to 23 years in prison. ❚ Former Kenton County Constable, Ronald Eugene Ferrier, who was convicted of impersonating a police oﬃ cer in 2007.

How would amendment work? There are two ways to amend the Kentucky Constitution. Either way, voters get a say. There’s the route McDaniel decided to take, in which a state legislator can introduce the amendment in either the Kentucky House of Representatives or Senate. ❚ The amendment needs 60% of the members from either chamber to support it. Then, the amendment appears on the ballot in the next general election. ❚ If a majority of the people approve it, it becomes part of the constitution. A constitutional convention could also be called. Those take place when: ❚ A majority of all the members from each chamber agree to ask voters if there should be a constitutional convention. Then, in the next session of the legislature, a majority of the lawmakers again agree to ask voters about the question. ❚ The amendment only passes if the majority votes “yes” and the number of voters who voted “yes” is equal to one-fourth of the number of qualiﬁ ed voters who voted in the last general election. In 1992, an amendment allowed charities to run lotteries. In 2004, another made the state only recognize marriage between a man and a woman. That became moot in 2015 when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the right to marry is guaranteed to same-sex couples.

Kenton Co. prosecutor says he’s disgusted at prior support for Bevin Sarah Brookbank and Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Kenton County’s top prosecutor expressed disgust Dec. 12 about some of former Gov. Matt Bevin’s pardons as he exits offi ce that included an Independence man convicted last year of raping a 9-year-old. “I was somebody who supported him and believed in him and I’m disgusted at myself for having done so,” said Rob Sanders, Kenton County Commonwealth’s Attorney, about Bevin. On his last day in ofBevin fi ce, Bevin pardoned Micah Schoettle, 41, who was convicted last year of raping a 9-year-old child in Kenton County and sentenced to 23 years in prison, the Louisville Courier Journal reported. Sanders said the pardon “shocks the conscience” and is “off ensive.” “It’s mind boggling how any governor could be this irresponsible,” Sanders said. “It’s an abomination of the criminal justice system.” Schoettle was convicted of charges including rape and sexual abuse by a Kenton County jury. He was sentenced July 24, 2018, by Kenton Circuit Judge Patricia M. Summe, according to prosecutors. “It’s a sad day for Kentucky, not just in the Micah Schoettle case, but in a number of diff erent rape cases, child molesting cases, murder cases where the victims have all been done a grave injustice by our former governor,” Sanders said. Bevin issued 428 pardons and commutations from Election Day through the end of his term Dec. 9, according to the Secretary of State’s Offi ce. There are few people among the pardoned who turned their life around and deserving of pardons, Sanders said. Overall, “it’s a shame,” he said. Sanders called some of the pardons “horrible.” “Prosecutors all across Kentucky today are disgusted by Matt Bevin today, off ended by Matt Bevin and rightfully

so, and there are victims that have been victimized again all across Kentucky, it’s just not right.” Sanders said Bevin acted without having prosecutors’ or police fi les on Schoettle’s case or asking prosecutors about the case. Sanders said he thinks Bevin relied on statements made by the defense when granting the pardon. A Kenton County jury of 12 unanimously believed the testimony of a child over the defendant’s testimony, Sanders said. “So, what kind of message is our former governor sending to the citizens of Kentucky when he tells him that he doesn’t believe a child,” Sanders said. “God help the next child.” Schoettle will not have to register as a sex off ender, Sanders said. “It was a very diffi cult phone call for my assistant commonwealth attorney Maria Schletker made the call herself to the victim’s mother, and God bless her for doing that,” he said. Bevin wrote that Schoettle was convicted of a heinous crime “based only on testimony that was not supported by any physical evidence.” He added that the case “was investigated and prosecuted in a manner that was sloppy at best. I do not believe that the charges against Mr. Schoettle are true.” In a statement after the sentencing, the prosecutors’ offi ce said the victim testifi ed at the trial and described how Schoettle sexually assaulted her and two medical experts also testifi ed: Dr. Kathi Makoroff from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center and Dr. Stuart Bassman, who specializes in the psychology of sexual assault. During the trial, Schoettle testifi ed on his own behalf, according to prosecutors. “(Schoettle) called numerous witnesses in an attempt to discredit the child victim,” prosecutors said. Sanders said he disagreed with Bevin commuting Gregory Wilson’s death penalty sentence as well despite some irregularities in how the case developed. Wilson was convicted more than 30 years ago of the abduction, rape, robbery and murder of Debbie Pooley, 36. “I think Mr. Wilson is probably the most sadistic killer in the history of Kenton County and I think he was right where he deserved to be on death row,” Sanders said. “This irresponsible manipulation of the justice system is why the public’s confi dence is constantly eroded,” Sanders said. “No one from the Bevin administration gave any warning this was coming. If they had, we’d have shown them why these rapists and killers were behind bars to begin with.” The Louisville Courier Journal contributed to this article.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine will meet incoming Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear to discuss tolling on the Brent Spence Bridge. LIZ DUFOUR/THE ENQUIRER

Governors to meet to talk bridge tolls, next steps

Do your part to stop the spread of flu Flu season is in full swing – but who has time to get sick during this busy time of year?

O’dell M. Owens, MD, MPH

President The Centers for Disease Con& CEO trol and Prevention estimates that each year the flu causes employees to miss approximately 17 million workdays, totaling $7 billion in sick days and lost productivity.The annual direct costs of the flu, including hospital or doctor’s office visits and medications, totals $4.6 billion in the United States, according to the CDC. Flu is more than an inconvenience, though. Many people -- young children, pregnant women, people with chronic health conditions such as asthma, diabetes or heart and lung disease, and people 65 years and older —are at risk for serious complications from the flu. But flu is preventable.These simple steps can help you stay healthy and keep others from getting sick. • Get a flu shot. Everyone ages 6 months and older should get one each year.

Jackie Borchardt Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said he’s “optimistic” the Brent Spence Bridge project will get done but he and incoming Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear still have a lot to work out. One of those issues: Tolls. Last year, DeWine told The Enquirer he didn’t see a way the bridge could be built without tolls. In a Dec. 13 interview, DeWine said it was premature to endorse tolling without ﬁ rst talking with Beshear. Beshear, a Democrat, has not ruled out tolls but has said it’s something he needs to discuss with Kentuckians. That was a diﬀ erent take than his gubernatorial opponent, Republican Gov. Matt Bevin, who said in a debate last month that tolls need to be part of the plan. In 2016, Bevin signed a bill that banned tolls from funding new bridges

connecting Ohio and Kentucky. DeWine anticipates one state will be the ﬁ scal agent for the project, which a 2017 study pegged at $2.6 billion. The project involves refurbishing the bridge and building a second bridge to the west. “We’ve got to pay for it some way and we’re open to see how we can get it paid for,” DeWine said Dec. 13. DeWine said Ohio Transportation Director Jack Marchbanks has been talking with Kentucky Transportation Secretary Jim Gray. DeWine said Ohio has completed property acquisitions on its side of the river. The next step will be to reach an agreement on traﬃ c projections for the bridge. DeWine said it’s too soon to say the two states are working together as partners. “I’m optimistic,” DeWine said. “There’s things that still have to be done. We have to keep continuing to move forward on these discussions.”

Record number of deer killed during gun season ASSOCIATED PRESS

FRANKFORT — Hunters killed a record number of deer in Kentucky during the recent gun season, surpassing last year’s record. Hunters killed about 107,000 deer during the 16-day season that ended on Nov. 24, up from the approximately 106,800 deer killed a year ago, the Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources said in a news release. The muzzleloader season for deer runs until Dec. 22.

which focuses on street outreach and building a network for consulting, advocacy, and education related to homelessness. Cline focused her career on giving health care to people experiencing homelessness. That concentration began when she wrote her dissertation on how someone can maintain their health while homeless. Then, she worked in local shelters and was part of a street team that checked in on people experiencing homelessness with Welcome House, one of the four homeless shelters in Northern Kentucky. Cline did outreach work with Welcome House, but stopped working there following disagreements. Welcome House still does street outreach work with a mobile health clinic staff ed with a registered nurse. Cline’s independent service goes a step beyond the mobile health clinic because she can write prescriptions with her nurse practitioner license. In May, Cline ran into another solo volunteer, Dorm Youngblood, while they were both at the Goebel Park pavilion in Covington. Now, Youngblood acts as a mentor to people experiencing homelessness. Before he met Cline, he said he didn’t know which shelters or services to tell people about. The connection between Cline and Youngblood helped Mark Cain, 46, fi nd housing and a job after experiencing homelessness for about a year. Cain found himself homeless after his 20-year career as a mechanic left him with three crushed spinal disks. When doctors stopped refi lling his prescription for painkillers, Cain realized he was addicted and turned to heroin. He lost his job, couldn’t pay rent and didn’t have shelter for about a year.

Youngblood mentored Cain and connected him with Welcome House. A friendship formed between the two as well. Cain has been addiction free for about two years now and recently found housing through the Rapid Re-Housing Program with Welcome House. “I would do absolutely anything for Dorm and Jennifer because I know what kind of people they are,” Cain said.

Holiday beef tenderloin and crispy roasted potatoes; and how to grate nutmeg Holiday beef tenderloin with Latin rub

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

Just the mention of beef tenderloin in my recent column brought about requests for roasting. I can understand that, since choice tenderloin is expensive but so appropriate for holidays, and easy to roast. Plus it can be made ahead. If you’re serving this as a buﬀ et, roasted asparagus showered with Parmesan right out of the oven is a nice veggie, since it tastes good at room temperature, too. Add some extra crispy roasted potatoes (baking soda is the secret – see my tip below) and you’ve got a feast.

Crispy roasted potatoes: baking soda is the secret Cut potatoes as you like, then boil with baking soda BEFORE roasting. Baking soda, being alkaline, breaks down potatoes’ surfaces, making them a little pasty looking on the outside. That translates into crisp outsides with creamier centers after roasting. Add 1⁄ 2 teaspoon baking soda to every 2 quarts salted water. Bring to a boil, add potatoes and cook about 10 minutes af-

Depending upon how much tenderloin you buy, you may have some rub left. The USDA recommends 10 minutes per pound to cook beef tenderloin. Ingredients Rub: ⁄ 4 cup cumin

See the hard shell on nutmeg? You have to crack that off prior to grating.

3 tablespoons chili powder 2 tablespoons ground coriander

1 teaspoon pepper ⁄ 4 teaspoon cinnamon

⁄ 4 to 3⁄ 4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Tenderloin: 3-5 pound tenderloin (for every person, count on about 6 oz. raw weight).

Nutmeg - why is it so hard to grate?

⁄ 2 cup dry red wine mixed with 1⁄ 2 cup beef broth.

It’s probably still in the dark brown shell. Give it a shake – if nutmeg rattles, crack shell oﬀ . Fresh nutmeg is stronger than dried so use about 3⁄ 4 as much as dried.

Instructions

Cut potatoes as you like, then boil with baking soda BEFORE roasting. Baking soda, being alkaline, breaks down potatoes’ surfaces, making them a little pasty looking on the outside. That translates into crisp outsides with creamier centers after roasting. Add 1⁄ 2 teaspoon baking soda to every 2 quarts salted water. Bring to a boil, add potatoes and cook about 10 minutes after returning to boil. Drain, let rest in pot to dry a bit, then toss with olive oil, etc., and roast in hot oven. Seriouseats.com site has a good tutorial on this method.

And remember, there’s carryover cooking which means when you remove the meat from the oven, the internal temperature continues to rise a few more degrees. Cover loosely with foil and let stand 10-20 minutes before carving. That way, the meat “relaxes," and juices collected in the center will redistribute throughout meat, making for a moist roast.

Bring meat to room temperature 30 minutes or so prior to roasting. Preheat oven to 400-425.

Crispy roasted potatoes: baking soda is the secret

roast to a higher temperature, so if you have folks who like their meat more done, you’re good to go.

Rub meat all over with olive oil. Then sprinkle lightly but nicely with rub, patting the rub in as needed. Place in sprayed roasting pan, pour red wine mixture in the bottom of the pan, and roast until thickest part registers about 125-135 for rare to medium-rare, or 140-150 for medium. Check every once in a while since you don’t want to over cook or meat will be dry. Know that the slimmer end will

Serve with pan juices if desired. Equally delicious at room temperature or chilled. Tip: Tenderloin is yummy with a premade rub, too. Check out abouteating.com for ideas. A plain quality olive oil with salt and freshly ground pepper is excellent, too.

NKY Democrat joins Beshear administration

NKY kid dies from ﬂ u complications

Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer

A child in Northern Kentucky has died from fl u complications. The deaths of the unnamed child and an unnamed adult are the fi rst in the Cincinnati region for this fl u season. “Our condolences go out to those who have lost someone due to fl u illness,” said Dr. Lynne Saddler, district director of the Northern Kentucky health department. Due to privacy laws, the health department could not release additional

USA TODAY NETWORK

Someone new will soon join the Northern Kentucky caucus in Frankfort. Gov. Andy Beshear chose Campbell County representative Dennis Keene to be the next Commissioner of the Department of Local Government, according to a news release from the Covington-based political consulting company November Strategies. Keene’s new job in Frankfort means a special election will be needed to ﬁ ll the House District 67 seat, which Keene Keene, a Democrat, has held since 2005. The district covers the cities of Newport, Southgate, Bellevue and Dayton. The special election has not been scheduled. Whoever wins the election will govern for the rest of Keene’s term, which ends in 2021. Then, if that individual wants to keep the seat, he or she will have to run for reelection with the rest of the Kentucky statehouse representatives in the 2020 general election. Keene and Kenton County representative Buddy Wheatley are the two Democrats out of the 13 representatives in Frankfort representing the counties of Boone, Kenton and Campbell. Voters in Campbell County recently leaned more Democratic. In the November gubernatorial election, Beshear won the county with about 52% of the vote.

details. The district covers Boone, Campbell, Kenton and Grant counties. Flu cases have been picking up in Northern Kentucky, the health department noted, with 335 cases reported in Northern Kentucky as of Dec. 7. Nationally, Kentucky is among states with “widespread” fl u, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Now is the time to get your fl u shot,” the Northern Kentucky Health Department release states. To fi nd out where to get your fl u shot, go to cdc.gov/fl u, check with your local pharmacies or doctor.

Health offi cials also off ered these ways to prevent spreading a fl u virus: ❚ Cover your nose and mouth with tissue when sneezing or coughing. Discard the tissue in the trash and wash your hands. ❚ Avoid close contact with sick individuals. ❚ Stay home from school, work and errands if you have the fl u. ❚ Wash your hands frequently with soap and water. If necessary, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. ❚ Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.

Public health punching out hepatitis A Anne Saker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Public health authorities are winning a battle against hepatitis A. Northern Kentucky is the ﬁ rst area in the Cincinnati region to declare the most recent outbreak of the infectious liver disease at an end. State health oﬃ cials in Ohio and Kentucky say they are still seeing cases of hepatitis A connected to the outbreak. But the numbers have declined throughout 2019 to single digits in many counties. A statement Dec. 9 from the Northern Kentucky Health Department said the outbreak that began in August 2018 has ended with no new cases reported in the past four months. During the outbreak, the district clocked 319 cases of hepatitis A and four deaths. In 2017, no cases of the liver illness were reported. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the rise in hepatitis A started in 2016 in California

and spread to 30 states. Kentucky is the worst-hit state with 4,983 cases and 61 deaths as of Nov. 30. Ohio has recorded 3,414 cases and 16 deaths. Most years, states record one or two cases of hepatitis A. The last outbreak in Ohio was in the mid-1990s, But public health oﬃ cials have said the current outbreak was a product of the heroin and opioid epidemic as contaminated needles were shared. The disease spreads when a person ingests fecal matter, even tiny amounts, often in food and drink. Several restaurants in the Cincinnati area had to close brieﬂ y after customers got sick with hepatitis A. Health authorities say the most likely to be infected are people who use needle drugs, people who are homeless, and some men who have sex with men. While Northern Kentucky is a bellwether in calling the end of the outbreak, it may be months yet before larger jurisdictions can call an end to the problem. Doug Thoroughman, a spokesman

for the Kentucky Department of Public Health, said Monday, Dec. 9 that Kentucky will wait at least 100 days after a report of the outbreak-related case before deciding the disease has ebbed. The long wait is needed because people infected with hepatitis A can go as long as seven weeks before showing symptoms of the illness. Symptoms include fatigue, low appetite, stomach pain, nausea, clay-colored stools and jaundice. The illness can last a few weeks to several months. Numbers of cases are trailing off in Ohio as well, but the state Department of Health still wants “local health departments and other health professionals to target at-risk populations,” said spokeswoman Megan Smith. Public health offi cials worked to contain the outbreak by taking vaccinations to places where the most likely carriers congregated, in homeless shelters and in jails. Health offi cials also urged everyone to wash their hands frequently to prevent the spread of that virus and others.

Covington Catholic High School football star Michael Mayer has captured his second statewide player of the year award after being named the Kentucky Football Coaches Association’s Mr. Football on Dec. 12. The 6-foot-5, 235-pound Mayer led Covington Catholic to a 15-0 record and a 14-7 victory over Frederick Douglass in the recent Class 5A state championship game. As a tight end, Mayer had 50 receptions for 970 yards and 15 touchdowns. As a linebacker, he posted a team-high 99 tackles (79 solo), 7 1⁄ 2 tackles for loss, ﬁ ve forced fumbles and four interceptions. Mayer, who has committed to Notre Dame, also won the Gatorade Kentucky Player of the Year award. Lexington Catholic quarterback Beau Allen won the Paul Hornung Award,s presented by the Louisville Quarterback Club. This is the second year the coaches association has named a Mr. Football. The traditional Mr. Football award given by the Associated Press will be named at a later date. The nomination process for that has begun. No CovCath player has ever won that award, and the last Northern Kentucky player to win it was Highlands QB Patrick Towles in 2011. Mayer was in the local spotlight Dec. 11 as the Northern Kentucky coaches held their awards banquet. The “Top 26” was awarded, honoring one player from each of the area’s 20 teams, plus six at-large selections. Beechwood – Blake Shepherd; Bellevue – Gunner Barnes; Bishop Brossart – Devin Carson; Boone County – Bruce Chenot; Campbell County – Casey Rauch; Conner – Noah Benza, Jared Hicks; Cooper – Anthony Witschey, Bryan Yelton; CovCath – Daniel Felix, Michael Mayer; Dayton – Jordan Marksberry;

Dixie Heights fi nished second in the team standings at the girls state meet last year behind similarly named seniors Kenady Beil and Selina Reil, who return as seniors. Sophomore Mackenzie Tucker and freshman Callie Young also scored at the state meet. Beil and Reil both won a pair of individual medals. All four produced topfour fi nishes in a pair of relays. Tucker scored points in the consolation fi nal in both her solo events, and Young scored in one. Beil fi nished second in the 200-yard freestyle and third in the 100 butterfl y. In both, she met automatic All-American standards and in the freestyle she set a personal best. She won three regional championships: The 200 medley relay, the 200 freestyle and the 100 butterfl y, setting regional meet records in the medley relay and the butterfl y. Reil fi nished second in the 500 free and seventh in the breaststroke. The Colonels hope to build some more depth behind that group. Maycie Skaggs had a strong meet in an eightteam invitational at Scott Dec. 7.

COMMUNITY NEWS Northern Kentucky Tri-ED announces key leadership, promotions and staff additions Northern Kentucky Tri-County Economic Development Corporation (TriED) recently announced several new hires and promotions. Christine Russell joined the organization as Vice President of Strategy and Brit Fitzpatrick was promoted to Director of Entrepreneurship in November 2019. Tri-ED also recently added four newly created positions within the economic development company. “Developing a high-performing TriED team has been a top priority since I began leading the organization,” shared Lee Crume, President & CEO of Northern Kentucky Tri-ED and a Covington resident. “By adding Christine and Brit’s expertise to a fully staﬀ ed organization, Tri-ED has the talent in place to generate economic opportunities for Boone, Campbell and Kenton counties. These promotions and the key new hires we added demonstrate our commitment to moving Northern Kentucky forward.” As Vice President of Strategy, Russell will work with Crume and the Tri-ED leadership team to develop and support short-term and long-term organizational planning, strategies, policies and practices. Prior to joining Tri-ED, Russell served as Economic Development Director for the City of Springdale, Ohio where she focused on expanding the economic base of the city through project development and business attraction, retention and expansion. “I am excited to join Lee and the team at Northern Kentucky Tri-ED,” said Russell, who lives in Mt. Healthy. “The opportunity to develop and lead the economic development strategy for a region with such a strong history of attracting major business operations and fostering entrepreneurship was extremely appealing to me.” Entrepreneurship promotions: Fitzpatrick was promoted to Director of Entrepreneurship & Innovation at Tri-ED in October, and she joined the organization earlier in 2019 as Interim Director. Fitzpatrick leads Blue North, Tri-ED’s program focused on building a robust entrepreneurial ecosystem in Northern Kentucky that connects both startups and

Economic Development Team additions: Angie Mulberry was named Business Retention & Expansion (BR&E) Manager in October; Devon Stansbury and Jeremy Worley joined Tri-ED as Client Services Managers in November. They report to Kimberly Rossetti, Vice President of Economic Development, who joined Tri-ED in July. “We are focused on helping our existing businesses succeed and thrive in Northern Kentucky with Angie leading our BR&E outreach eff orts,” said Rossetti, a resident of Union, Kentucky. “As we market Northern Kentucky’s excellent location for new businesses and build a pipeline for expansions through our BR&E initiatives, Devon and Jeremy will play an important role in managing our relationships and project workfl ow.” Mulberry, who lives in Independence, Kentucky, brings a renewed focus to the

BR&E program with a goal of meeting with 200 companies in 2020. She was a Project Manager with Tri-ED; before joining the organization, she worked in the executive oﬃ ce for the Prysmian Group, formerly General Cable, as a Senior Executive Assistant to the CEO. Stansbury, a resident of Covington, Kentucky, previously held the positions of customer service sales representative and customer experience representative at Crown Lift Trucks Ltd., where she provided companies in the logistics and supply chain industry with material handling and warehouse solutions. She is a graduate of the University of Cincinnati with a bachelor’s degree in Communications and a certiﬁ cate in Public Relations.

He earned his master’s of Public Administration and a bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Northern Kentucky University. Cheryl Besl, Northern Kentucky Tri-ED

Emily Carroll, of New York City, is a 2016 medical-school graduate who just finished her residency. She is applying for fellowships and expects to get news (fingers crossed!) around the time this crossword is published. The genesis of the puzzle was 41-Across, with its unusual letter pattern. Part of that pattern led her to think of 110-Across, which became the puzzle’s ‘‘revealer’’ entry. This is Emily’s 10th crossword for The Times and her second Sunday. — W.S.
