What will Greater Cincinnati malls become?

Empty spaces are spurring creative uses across Ohio and the US Randy Tucker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COVID-19 is just the latest blow for many shopping malls struggling to draw customers to their stores when they can more easily shop online.

The pandemic stunted already fading foot traffi c and sped up the exodus of mall anchors including Macy’s, J.C. Penney and Dillard’s, leaving cavernous empty spaces in their wake.

In Springdale, Tri-County Mall will lose its last anchor tenant when Macy’s shuts its doors in April, following exits

by Sears and Dillard’s.

Every major mall in the Cincinnati area has been hit with bankruptcies by smaller tenants too, like J. Crew and Forever 21, so replacing closed stores with new stores may not be the best plan in today’s environment, experts say.

As a result, mall owners in Ohio and across the country are coming up with creative ways to fi ll the glut of empty space with tenants they hope will revitalize dying malls and produce steady foot traffi c.

Here are fi ve examples:

Supersized arcades Taking a cue from the behemoth Mall of America in Minnesota, an increasing number of malls have adopted a “go big or go home” mantra to attract shoppers.

That includes the Mall at Tuttle Crossing in Columbus, which in 2019 opened a supersized arcade with games, rides and other amusement park-like attractions in a space formerly occupied by one of its anchor tenants, Macy’s.

BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse at Tri-County Mall in Springdale is one of the few businesses still open at the mostly vacant mall. CARA OWSLEY/THE ENQUIRER

The 225,000-square-foot, two-story indoor entertainment center, called Scene75, features an indoor roller coaster, go-kart track and drop-zone ride, as well as a full-service bar and restaurant, according to Scene75 Marketing Director Maggie McCartney.

Scene75 operates four other venues in Cincinnati, Dayton, Cleveland and Pittsburgh in abandoned big-box or grocery stores, McCartney said.

But the Columbus site was the company’s fi rst foray into an enclosed shopping mall, which has been a resounding success, she said.

“We bring traffi c to the mall, and the mall brings traffi c to us,” she said. “We just threw in the go-karts and drop tower, and now we have a really upscale and exquisite entertainment facility. It’s defi nitely an improvement over moving into a big Kmart.”

Indoor golf centers Nationwide, there has been about a 6% increase in the amount of large See MALLS, Page 4A

JIM WEIKER/DISPATCH

Boone County School board voted 3-2 to continue a partnership with another Northern Kentucky county school March 11, which one board member called a “bad agreement.”

The board convened to vote on its third partnership with Kenton County Schools for the Ignite Institute 2021-22 school year. The schools fi rst partnered together for the 2019-20 school year to run the fi rst-ever science-andarts-focused high school in Kentucky.

The school was born out of devastating economic news.

In 2014, Toyota announced it would close its Erlanger headquarters and move 1,600 jobs out of Northern Kentucky. Then, as a parting gift to the region in 2017, the company donated its building to Boone County to transform it into the Ignite Institute for students to specialize in science, technology, engineering, design, and mathematics.

The schools agreed to share payroll costs, contribute an equal lump-sum to the operational budget, and evenly split enrollment, according to the agreements the school boards signed which The Enquirer obtained through records requests.

First, enrollment has not been equal, an Enquirer review showed.

According to the 2020-21 and draft 2021-22 school year agreements, students from two school districts would each get 45% of the spots. The remaining 10% would go to regional students.

“That model doesn’t make sense to me,” said school board member Julia Pile. “A per-pupil makes more sense.”

Right now, the schools are splitting the operational costs, but far more Kenton County students are using the school.

Superintendent Matt Turner said at the meeting that’s partly because Kenton County had a similar school with already enrolled students, which closed when Kenton County Schools partnered with Boone County Schools.

Those students enrolled to Ignite Institute right away, while Boone County students had to make the decision to leave their current school, Turner said.

He said he expected the enrollment to even out between the schools during the next few years.

“If we were on a more per-pupil basis, then it wouldn’t matter where the students were coming from,” Pile said.

She voted to approve the 2021-2022 agreement with Kenton County but suggested moving away from the “fi fty-fi fty” model in the future.

School board member Jesse Parks voiced the most opposition and called it a “bad agreement.”

“I don’t understand how we ended up with such a bad agreement, to be See SCHOOLS, Page 2A

BY THE WAY, NKY

Mayor: New bridge will ‘eviscerate’ Covington Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

This is an installment of reporter Julia Fair’s series “By the way, NKY.” Here, you’ll fi nd what’s going on in Northern Kentucky.

If there’s something you think should be included, email reporter Julia Fair at jfair@enquirer.com Ah, spring.

Recently, I saw two mourning doves scouting my patio for a nest. They nestled into a pot that used to have lush greens and purple mums. I neglected it (whoops) so now it’s a pot of twigs that may become a nest.

Send me an email at jfair@enquirer.com to let me know what you’re looking forward to as the weather warms up!

By the way, here’s what’s going on in Northern Kentucky:

Covington Mayor calls Brent Spence Bridge project ‘existential threat’ to the city When I hear offi cials talk about the Brent Spence Bridge, the message is typically the same. They urge the community to come together to fi nd a way to pay for the $2 billion project to expand capacity with a new bridge because the current bridge is carrying more cars than it was designed for.

It was designed to handle 80,000 cars a day. Now, the Ohio Department of Transportation estimates an average of 160,000 cars use it each day.

The word “tolls” is usually avoided when they hash out ideas to pay for it.

But it’s rare to hear an offi cial push back at the idea of an additional bridge.

The mayor of Northern Kentucky’s largest city, Joe Meyer of Covington, recently told city commissioners during a meeting that the new bridge would pose an “existential threat” to the city’s revitalization.

His comments at the March 2 meeting came after the American Transportation Research Institute ranked the Brent Spence Bridge as the second most congested truck bottleneck in the United States.

And. in February, during a call with reporters, Kentucky Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Ashli Watts said she thinks tolls will have to be part of the solution to building a new Brent Spence. She said she hopes legislators add an amendment to a gas-tax bill that would repeal the prohibition on tolls for the bridge project.

Meyer said the proposed new bridge is so big it would “eviscerate” the city.

His views were echoed by another city commissioner.

“I just wanted to let everyone know, too, that this would pretty much take out part of Lewisburg neighborhood,” said city commissioner Michelle Williams.

“And I used to run around saying that then Covington would be the little dusty city under the bridge. We don’t want to be the dusty city under the bridge.”

In 2010, The Enquirer reported that Lewisburg residents voiced opposition to the project because it would enter some of their backyards. At one point they received fraudulent letters claim-

Here is the closed Brent Spence Bridge on Nov. 12. In the 1990s, the Federal Highway Administration declared the bridge functionally obsolete. It was designed to handle 80,000 cars a day.

The Ohio Department of Transportation estimates an average of 160,000 cars use it a day.

ing eminent domain would be used to take portions of their properties.

Residents were told the smallest project footprint would aff ect 80 properties, removing about half of the homes.

Another would wipe out four acres, including part of the Pike Street business corridor, and another would take two acres and spare the businesses, according to The Enquirer archives.

Right now, the 46-foot Brent Spence Bridge carries eight lanes of traffi c – four on the top deck and four on the lower deck.

The proposed combined structures – the existing Brent Spence Bridge and the unbuilt and unnamed proposed new Ohio River span – would carry 16 lanes of traffi c, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Public Information Offi ce Nancy Wood told The Enquirer in an email.

Here’s what the project would do to the existing bridge: h Keep two top deck lanes and create two full-width shoulders for Interstate 71 northbound travelers. h Keep three lower deck lanes and create one full-width shoulder for northbound local travelers.

Here’s what the 128-foot companion bridge would have: h Three top deck lanes with two shoulders for Interstate 75 southbound travelers. h Two top deck lanes with two shoulders for Interstate 71 southbound travelers. h Three lower deck lanes with two shoulders for southbound local travelers. h Three lower deck lanes with two shoulders for Interstate 75 northbound travelers.

I know that can be a bit confusing to visualize. Here’s a diagram of the proposed plan: Meyer proposed reducing it to 10-12 lanes. He claimed: h The new bridge, as proposed, would “eviscerate” the city because of the proposed size. h Tolls would send traffi c to other bridges. h The new bride would take traffi c away from Covington’s businesses. h Tolls would disproportionately impact Northern Kentucky residents.

During the meeting, Meyer suggested: h Not using tolls on the new bridge. h Revisiting the idea of the Texas Turnaround, which was proposed by the city fi ve years ago. That would have a lane designed for drivers to make a U-

Turn onto a highway. h Supporting work on the Roebling Suspension Bridge to not “let it literally fall into the river.” Wood, with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, told The Enquirer the bridge is weight-restricted to prohibit large trucks from causing damage.

NKY leaders to climb Great American Ballpark I’d always rather do an exercise activity instead of using a stationary machine.

I like going on long walks, kickboxing, dancing along with a Zumba video, and, my newest attempt – roller skating.

A friend let me know about a fl at roller skating spot in Cincinnati that I’m excited to try out. I bought a pair of white, pink, and turquoise skates in the midst of the pandemic last summer, right after I got a dutch oven for homemade bread. I need practice with both!

Anyways, I realized I would soon be able to take my skates out of the closet when I read about a fundraiser. On April 25, community members will climb the Great American Ballpark seats in the American Lung Association’s fi rst-ever outdoor Fight For Air Climb.

Groups throughout Northern Kentucky signed up for the event.

Local staff , family, and friends of St. Elizabeth Healthcare and Radiology Associates of Northern Kentucky will participate, according to a press release.

And, the Covington Fire Department raised $3,650 so far, according to the event website.

Masks will be required at the event and social distancing will be practiced, the press release said. Money raised will fund the American Lung Association.

Registration for the Fight For Air Climb is $35 and includes a $100 fundraising minimum. For more information, and to register, visit FightForAir Climb.org/Cincinnati.

Newport issues $11.7 million in bonds for infrastructure projects Newport is about to get some upgrades.

Recently, city commissioners unanimously approved $11.7 million in bonds to improve sidewalks and streetscapes, according to a press release.

An estimated $7 million will be used on Monmouth Street and $2.5 million for Festival Park.

The project includes improving: h The U.S. 27 underpass corridor for traffi c and pedestrian safety. h The sidewalks and streetscapes

from 11th Street south to Carothers Road; from Carothers Road to the city border with Southgate. h Newport’s section of the Riverfront Commons, an 11.5-mile path the runs along the Ohio River from Ludlow to Dayton. h Festival Park from Columbia Street east to the Purple People Bridge with a $2,428.428 grant from the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments with a 20% city match. The fi nal cost will be determined after the designed phase.

“All of this has come together at the right time for us to get value for our community, strengthen our community and make a diff erence in the lives of our residents,” Mayor Tom Guidugli said in the release. “We are taking out a loan that will be worth it in the long run.”

honest with you,” Parks said.

He doesn’t like that Kenton County can use about $200,000 of federal Career & Technical Education funds for part of its $475,000 contribution to the Ignite Institute budget. He suggested Boone County be able to use those funds for its lump-sum, too. To do that, Boone County Schools need the Kentucky General Assembly to get involved, Parks said. It was not immediately clear what action Kentucky lawmakers could take to make that happen.

“The document is not worded correctly,” Parks said.

He also had concerns that a section of the agreement could give Kenton County the ability to take the Ignite Institute after Boone County invested millions into opening the school.

Here’s what the section said: “If Boone County Board of Education chooses to terminate this MOU, Kenton County Board of Education shall have the right to purchase the furniture, fi xtures, equipment, and inventory at Ignite and to lease the premises at fair market rent for the purpose of continuing the programs at Ignite.”

Other board members said they had the same thought when they read it, but the board attorney said it would be diffi cult to lose the school because of

other legal documents, such as property deeds.

Other board members chimed in to say it’s been bumpy negotiating with Kenton County, but they are pleased with the process they went through this year with them.

The board members talked about starting the negotiation with Kenton County sooner next year, such as the fall.

They said they looked forward to having the opportunity in the future to make progress.

Malls

Sports complexes At Polaris Fashion Place in Columbus, FieldhouseUSA will replace the former Sears department store location between Macy’s and J.C. Penney.

Fieldhouse specializes in sports leagues and off ers year-round play and tournaments in team sports such as basketball, volleyball, pickleball and futsal, which is like miniature soccer played on a hard court.

Fieldhouse, which is geared for both recreational and competitive athletes, also off ers performance training in cheerleading, martial arts, fi tness and other individual sports.

The facilities can be rented out for birthday parties, corporate meetings and other events as well.

The Polaris Fieldhouse will be one of three new mall locations opening this year that could deliver a huge shot in the arm in terms of foot traffi c at the malls.

Fieldhouse facilities average more than 1.6 million visitors annually, according to the Texas-based company.

shopping center space fi lled by tenants in the recreation business over the past fi ve years, according to industry tracker CoStar Group.

And the Southern Park Mall in Boardman Township, Ohio, near Youngstown is yet another mall turning to entertainment and recreation to fi ll empty anchor spots.

Southern Park recently announced it would open an indoor golf center, the Bunker, in a 36,000-square-foot space formerly occupied by Sears.

Sears announced it was closing at Southern Park in 2018 as part of the nationwide shutdown of more than 70 Sears stores, including stores at Northgate, Tri-County and Florence malls in the Cincinnati area.

The mall’s owner, Columbus-based Washington Prime Group, is planning to spend $30 million to redevelop Southern Park, including the addition of a slate of new nontraditional mall tenants.

When the Bunker opens this year, it will feature a dozen golf simulators, Bogey’s Bar and Grill and an outdoor patio overlooking the new DeBartolo Commons entertainment and event venue under construction.

“Washington Prime Group is committed to delivering on what our guests and communities want while continuing to bring energy and dynamism to the overall experience,” said spokeswoman Kimberly Green.

Grocery stores Grocery stores have anchored strip malls and lifestyle shopping centers for years.

Now some mall operators are beginning to look at the viability of replacing anchor tenants at traditional enclosed shopping malls with groceries.

In 2018, Aldi opened a grocery inside Markland Mall in Kokomo, Indiana. The store opened in a space formerly occupied by Sears, which was demolished in 2017.

Even with the advent of online order and pickup options, grocery stores remain a regular destination for millions of Americans.

More than 90% of adults have continued to buy most of their groceries in physical stores during the pandemic and plan to do so even after the pandemic has waned, according to a recent survey from the International Council of Shopping Centers.

And research by mall operator General Growth Properties found that nearly 50% of shoppers are open to the idea of having a supermarket located in the mall.

Groceries can provide stability for shopping malls by bringing people in on a more consistent and predictable basis, experts say.

The new Aldi at Markland Mall PROVIDED

Auto showrooms Automakers have regularly showcased one or two of the fastest and fl ashiest of their latest models in mall food courts or atriums for decades.

But the concept may be shifting into high gear as some carmakers have opened full-service showrooms and dealerships inside malls.

A couple of years ago, Tesla began selling its electric cars directly to consumers in high-end shopping malls in lieu of free-standing dealerships.

More recently, Ford Motor Co. has been testing a new showroom concept called Smart Labs in shopping malls in Europe, Canada and South America.

You can’t buy cars there, but Ford puts its cars in mall atriums and other

open areas so “the masses can interact with the brand in casual, dealer-free settings,” according to the company’s website.

Locally, many mall atriums that were once bustling with activity are now basically big empty hallways that could

easily accommodate satellite showrooms for local auto dealers.

However, many auto industry analysts remain skeptical about the appeal of mall showrooms and auto dealerships in malls that fewer people visit now.

Jeanne’s Pancakes My friend Jeanne shared this recipe a long time ago. Simple enough for little ones to help.

Ingredients 1 egg 1 cup buttermilk 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon double acting baking powder ⁄ 2 teaspoon salt

1

1 teaspoon oil

Instructions Whisk egg and buttermilk together.

Whisk dry ingredients together.

Stir into egg mixture and mix gently.

Stir in butter. Mix again but don’t over mix. A few lumps are OK. Let batter rest 10 minutes or so before frying.

Pour about 1⁄ 3 cup of batter onto hot greased griddle for each pancake.

They’re ready to turn over when golden brown on bottom and bubbles appear around edges and middle.

Whole-wheat pancakes Daughter-in-law Jess makes these in a big batch, then warms them up later in the microwave or toaster. “Pancakes last a week in the refrigerator,” Jess said.

I feel like a modern pioneer. The past few weeks we’ve been tapping maple trees. And we harvested gallons and gallons of sap. Guess how much maple syrup we got? Well, here’s a hint: it’s a 40:1 ratio.

We boiled sap from morning to late afternoon, and watched it turn from clear to a golden brown as the water evaporated. Our bounty of maple syrup was about 3 cups total.

Well, maple syrup calls for pancakes, don’t you think? Have breakfast for supper one evening. Pancakes with a side of bacon or sausage. Warm maple syrup?

Or maybe a smear of maple pecan butter on the pancakes? Yes, please.

Tips: Single acting vs double acting baking powder For pancakes, use double acting.

Single acting is activated by moisture only; double is activated by moisture and heat. You need both for pancakes to

turn out well.

Rested batter = better pancakes Resting gives the liquid time to soften/hydrate/relax the fl our and dissolve any lumps that remain.

Resting also allows leavening time to get mixed in evenly in the batter.

Even leavening produces air bubbles that puff pancakes as they cook.

Kentucky stocks rainbow trout in Covington lake Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A reel attraction has just been stocked into a lake in Covington's Devou Park.

Prisoner's Lake has 750 rainbow trout available to catch if you have a Kentucky fi shing license, according to a Covington release. People who want to keep their catch need a valid state trout permit as well. No fi shing license of any kind is needed by anyone younger than age 15. A Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Resources worker used a truck to dump the fi sh into the park's 3.8-acre lake.

The fi sh, 10 inches and bigger, were provided by Kentucky's Fishing in Neighborhoods program (FINs).

Anglers need to get to the lake with some speed.

The cold-water fi sh will survive in Prisoners Lake until late May or early June, said Adam Cecil, a Fish and Wildlife technician in the release.

The lake is also regularly stocked with catfi sh and bluegills through the FINs program.

For people planning to catch and release the fi sh, some advice was off ered by the city to help the fi sh survive.

Wet your hands. Don't use a dry rag to hold the fi sh.

Don't use your foot to hold them while you unhook them.

This is one of the 750 rainbow trout placed by a Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources worker into Prisoners Lake in Covington's Devou Park.

Prosecutor: NKY Subway turned away veteran with service dog, settles complaint USA TODAY NETWORK

A Subway franchise in Northern Kentucky that turned away a veteran with a service dog will adopt and implement a service animal policy, according to a settlement agreement.

The veteran suff ers from post-traumatic stress disorder and uses the service dog to assist with his disability, according to a news release from the Department of Justice.

The investigation, prompted by the veteran's citizen complaint, was conducted by the U.S. Attorney's Offi ce for the Eastern District of Kentucky. The prosecutor's offi ce found that MD Food, which owns the Crescent Springs, Kentucky, franchise, violated the Americans with Disabilities Act when a Subway employee enforced the restaurant's "no dogs" policy and would not allow the veteran to dine in.

The veteran said he was embar-

rassed, anxious and suff ered emotional distress over the incident, according to the release.

“Restaurants, as public accommodations, are required to ensure proper access to their customers with disabilities,” U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky Carlton S. Shier, IV said. “This includes allowing service dogs, which are a necessary means for many individuals with disabilities. The Department of Justice is committed to ensuring that individuals with disabilities have proper access under the ADA and we are pleased that MD Food has agreed to modify its policies and practices to comply with the Act.” Prosecutors say MD Food will pay $1,000 in damages to the veteran in addition to modifying its current policies and practices around service animals.

The company agreed to provide training on its new service dog policy to employees and managers, and post the policy at the restaurant.

Two Cincinnati area nonprofi ts merge to enhance services to older adults

Two nonprofi ts that serve older adults in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky have merged to form one of the largest local community-based organizations that provides direct services to seniors.

The merger of Cincinnati Area Senior Services and Meals on Wheels Southwest OH & Northern KY will serve more than 10,000 seniors annually with about 150 employees and 800 volunteers. The number of meals delivered to seniors’ homes per year is likely to exceed 1.4 million.

The organizations have chosen to use the name “Meals on Wheels Southwest OH & Northern KY” because of the strong, positive recognition of the Meals on Wheels brand.

The leaders of both nonprofi ts are confi dent this action will position the organizations to provide the best possible services for many years. Seniors need these services now more than ever, not only because of the pandemic

but also because of the ongoing, exponential growth in their population. That growth is outpacing the resources available to serve seniors and putting their health and well-being in jeopardy.

“This merger makes a bold statement – and a promise: Working with our communities, our combined organization will tackle the challenges facing us so that every senior enjoys the support and dignity that they deserve,” said Jennifer Steele, who will serve as CEO of the merged organization.

The larger scale of the organization, along with a $4 million grant last year from philanthropist MacKenzie Scott, will fuel innovation – to bring about transformational change.

The leaders also believe there is a signifi cant opportunity to eliminate duplication of services between the organizations.

“This is a great day for seniors and together we are going to do amazing things,” said Tracey Collins, CEO of

Driver John Jarman of Cincinnati Area Senior Services makes a meal delivery to the home of an older adult. The merger of CASS and Meals on Wheels Southwest OH & Northern KY will serve more than 10,000 seniors per year. PROVIDED

CASS. She will be Chief Integration Offi cer for the merged organization. “It just makes sense with limited funding to join forces and strengthen our services for seniors.”

The organizations have remarkable similarities, including their main missions – to help seniors live independently and thrive. Both organizations have substantial Meals on Wheels programs that provide food and a check on the well-being of seniors. Combined, the organizations have more than 135 years of dedication to seniors.

As the nonprofi ts work to combine their operations, they have lots of details to sort out, but they know this: h They will retain all of their programs and services. h No one will lose their job due to the merger. In fact, more job opportunities are expected.

“The merger of Meals on Wheels and CASS makes sense from every angle,” said Michael Murphy, who will be the

new board vice-chair. “By coming together, these two strong organizations gain effi ciencies that will allow them to channel their focus on continued growth and innovation. Every senior, and every person who cares about them, should celebrate this news – and anticipate many good things to come as a result.”

Dan Driehaus, who will be the chair of the new board, emphasized the important role that the delivery drivers play in checking on seniors. “Amazon knows how to deliver a box. We know the importance of visiting seniors to check on their welfare. We take time to observe their environment. We chat. We listen.

We care. For many of our seniors, our meal delivery person might be the only person they interact with all day. Our meal delivery is simply an extension of our interest in their well-being.”

Elliot Grossman, Ashire Communications

SCHOOL NEWS Fall in love with reading For the month of February the students at Florence Elementary had been given a reading literacy challenge by FRC (Family Resource Center) and RTA (Read to Achieve) Interventionist, logging their time read on paper “hearts.”

There was a friendly competition among each grade level with one winner per grade level who won a personal basket.

To kick-off the challenge, principal Lisa Resing videoed herself reading one of her favorite books, Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons.

For the entire month of February different staff members volunteered to read a favorite story and video themselves for the students to view at home.

This aids the ones who are just starting to read or may not have someone to read to them or simply just enjoy listening to their own teacher or another staff member.

Kim Bryan, RTA Interventionist, read Groundhog’s Day Off on Feb. 2 because that is the day we celebrate Groundhog’s Day. So did the groundhog see his shadow… yes, so we have 6 more weeks of winter as the legend states.

According to the video reviews, many students took advantage of the read aloud as an average of 275 students tuned in daily. The Fall in Love with Reading continued until March 5.

The students were reading with furry friends, odd spots within their classroom and one fi fth grader on 100th Day resembled a grandma fi gure reading in her rocking chair with spectacle. Mrs. Resing, the principal, read to a fi rst grade class. When the hearts were collected some students fi lled out both the front and backs of the hearts, some drew more hearts and some put more than one book on a heart.

The program promoted reading literacy but more important hopefully ignited a sparkle to create a love for reading.

CovCath basketball legend Jim Cooper dies James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Covington Catholic and Northern Kentucky community are mourning the loss of CovCath grad Jim Cooper.

Cooper, a 1968 graduate of CovCath, died March 7 after a two-month battle with COVID-19.

Cooper brought the game he learned on the basketball courts of Covington’s Goebel Park to the Colonels, and he starred as the heady playmaker for CovCath’s fi rst two Ninth Region championship teams (1966-67 and ’67-68).

A two-year starter for Coach Mote Hils, “Coop” was loved by Covington Catholic fans for his no-look passes and pass fakes.

But it was his clutch on-fl oor leadership and steadiness that were most crucial for teams that fi nished a combined 55-11 with two state tournament trips,

including the 1967 runner-up fi nish.

In 2002 upon Cooper’s election to the Northern Kentucky Sports Hall of Fame, Ken Shields, himself a multiple hall-offame coach, called Cooper “still the fi nest passing point guard I’ve coached in over 38 years.”

Cooper was inducted into the Northern Kentucky Athletic Directors Hall of Fame in 2015.

Cooper played for Shields in 1964-65 on the Covington Catholic freshman team. He is considered one of the top playmakers in Northern Kentucky hoops history.

In his two varsity seasons, the 6-foot Cooper averaged 9.8 and 11.3 points, respectively, to go with 3.9 and 5.7 assists.

He set the single-game CovCath assist record with 18 in an 80-32 rout of Carr Creek early in his senior season.

Cooper was a two-time All-Ninth Region selection and also received all-re-

gional tourney and All-Ashland Invitational Tournament honors. His clutch free-throwing led Covington Catholic to the 1966 AIT title over Breathitt County and into the state fi nal with a 9-for-9 effort at the line against favored Louisville Central in the Sweet 16 semifi nals.

He was a long-time basketball coach at several Northern Kentucky schools, including Simon Kenton and WaltonVerona. Cooper, twice selected as an allstate honorable mention player, also worked in sales at the Community Press & Recorder newspapers, a sister product of The Cincinnati Enquirer.

His daughter, Holly Spritzky, was a standout player at Conner and later a head coach at Dixie Heights.

COMMUNITY NEWS Rick Wurth shares the advancements made to better the community at Children’s Home of Northern Kentucky Written by: Autumn Ray, Ignite intern for Stinger Media Rotary Club of Florence held a meeting on Monday, March 8 where Rick Wurth, Chief Executive Offi cer at Children’s Home of Northern Kentucky/CHNK Behavioral Health shared the great accomplishments Wurth that CHNK (@CHNK_1882) has made.

CHNK has three campuses across two counties, including 24/7 residential treatment facilities, and is a premier provider of behavioral health and addiction treatment services for youth and families.

CHNK is a Trauma informed healthcare organization, the staff create holistic partnerships for health and wellness that are inclusive, innovative, and inspiring. Their vision is to see a community free from adverse environments and childhood experiences that limit hope and opportunity, one that is safe and acknowledges human emotion and loss. A community that empowers future possibilities.

CHNK has a campus in Devou park that off ers psychiatric Residential Treatment care, Day treatment and therapeutic day school. On the Burlington Campus they off er an Intensive outpatient program, private childcare (PCC) Residential treatment and day treatment.

On the Fifth street center they off er outpatient services, including intensive outpatient programs (IOP) for behavioral health and substance use disorders, targeted case management, and a Family preservation program. CHNK chose to have the Fifth street center because they knew many rely on public transportation and they wanted to be easily accessible to the public.

Kentucky pays $100,000 per kid on average to go into a residential treatment center. Rick Wurth explained that Kentucky has done a poor job of making money available to work with families on outpatient services.

After the Aff ordable CARE Act was passed in 2016 600,000 Kentuckians who did not have health care insurance got some, so now Physical and behavioral health are on the same playing fi eld.

Health care organizations soon became overwhelmed with patients, so they went to organizations like CHNK and asked for some extra help, knowing that they have therapists, social workers, psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, etc.

CHNK was off ered new licenses to help care for more people in the community.

Between 2013 and 2020 they had an 835% increase on the impact they have left on the community.

Rick explained to the Rotary Club that he must continue to ask for donations to continue to provide services and resources to children. CHNK must raise over 2 million dollars to keep up with the expenses each year.

CHNK was the fi rst Kentucky behavioral health agency to be certifi ed in the sanctuary model. Rick Wurth explained that CHNK wanted to reach outside of their comfort zone to talk about social determinants of health like the eff ects of poverty, racism, homophobia, etc.

Rick Wurth also shared that those who have adverse childhood experiences are more likely to have health complications like respiratory problems and coronary issues, they can be less likely to graduate and more likely to be incarcerated.

CHNK current initiatives consist of an adoption of restraint free environment, Adoption of Ukeru, Implementation of vocera technology for emergency communication, Continued expansion of Telehealth services, adoption of virtual employee training platform, increased hours for psychiatric consultation and

major capital improvements.

Better read this if you are 62 or older and still making mortgage payments.

More than 1 million seniors have taken advantage of this “retirement secret.”

It’s awell-knownfactthatformanyolder Americans,thehomeistheirsinglebiggest asset, often accounting for more than 45% of their total net worth. And with interest rates near all-time lows while home values are still high, this combination creates the perfect dynamic for getting themostoutofyourbuilt-upequity.

But, many aren’t taking advantage of this unprecedented period. According to new statistics from the mortgage industry, senior homeowners in the U.S. are now sitting on more than 7.7 trillion dollars* ofunusedhomeequity.

Not only are people living longer than ever before, but there is also greater uncertainty in the ecomony. With home prices back up again, ignoring this“hidden wealth” may prove to be short sighted

in order to qualify for a HECM loan, which is not the case. In fact, one key advantage of a HECM is that the proceeds will first be used to pay off any existing liens on the property, which frees up cash flow, a huge blessingforseniorslivingonafixedincome.

Unfortunately, many senior homeowners who might be better off with a HECM loan don’t even bother to get more information becauseofrumorsthey’veheard.

In fact, a recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s number one HECM lender, found that over 98% of their clients are satisfied with their loans.

While these special loans are not for everyone, they can be a real lifesaver for senior homeowners - especially in times likethese.

All things considered, it’s not surprising that more than a million homeowners have already used a government-insured HomeEquityConversionMortgage(HECM) loan to turn their home equity into extra cashforretirement.

It’s a fact: no monthly mortgage paymentsarerequiredwithagovernmentinsuredHECMloan;howevertheborrowers are still responsible for paying for the maintenanceoftheirhome,propertytaxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, theirHOAfees.

Today, HECM loans are simply an effectivewayforhomeowners62andolder to get the extra cash they need to enjoy retirement.

Although today’s HECM loans have been improved to provide even greater financial protection for homeowners, there are still manymisconceptions.

For example, a lot of people mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full

The cash from a HECM loan can be used for almost any purpose. Other common uses include making home improvements, paying off medical bills or helping other family members. Some people simply need the extra cash for everyday expenses whileothersarenowusingitasasafetynet forfinancialemergencies.

As Featured on: ABC, CBS, CNN & Fox News

*Housing Wealth for Homeowners - 62+ Reaches $7.7 Trillion in Q1 2020: NRMLA/RiskSpan Reverse Mortgage Market Index (RMMI) Q1 2000 - Q1 2020 Reverse mortgage loan terms include occupying the home as your primary residence, maintaining the home, paying property taxes and homeowners insurance. Although these costs may be substantial, AAG does not establish an escrow account for these payments. However, a set-aside account can be set up for taxes and insurance, and in some cases may be required. Not all interest on a reverse mortgage is taxdeductible and to the extent that it is, such deduction is not available until the loan is partially or fully repaid.

AAG charges an origination fee, mortgage insurance premium (where required by HUD), closing costs and servicing fees, rolled into the balance of the loan. AAG charges interest on the balance, which grows over time. When the last borrower or eligible non-borrowing spouse dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, or fails to comply with the loan terms, the loan becomes due and payable (and the property may become subject to foreclosure). When this happens, some or all of the equity in the property no longer belongs to the borrowers, who may need to sell the home or otherwise repay the loan balance.

Here are the tallest peaks in the Tristate area, and spoiler: Ohio is boring Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana have never been accused of being mountainous states.

But a recent listing of all the highest peaks in the U.S. had Ohio looking pretty boring. The highest peaks in the U.S. range in elevation from just 345 feet in Florida to 20,320 feet in Alaska, USA TODAY reported.

The gallery has Ohio's highest mountain to climb as ... Campbell Hill.

Kentucky came out as way cooler this

round. Out of our three nearby states, Kentucky has the highest peak and the lowest point of elevation, as well.

Kentucky h Highest peak: Black Mountain h Elevation above sea level: 4,145 feet

Ohio h Highest peak: Campbell Hill h Elevation above sea level: 1,550 feet See PEAKS, Page 9B

It's a quick drive to get to the spot where Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio come together but you'll need a boat to reach it.

In Kentucky, the bottom of the Vulcan Mineral's limestone quarry in Livingston County is known as the lowest point in the Commonwealth at -90.3 feet below sea level, according to the Kentucky Geological Network.

But if you ask the U.S. Geological Survey, it said the lowest point in Kentucky is the Mississippi River at Fulton County, at 257 feet above sea level.

The lowest point in Indiana is the Ohio River in Posey County, which is west of Evansville, at 320 feet above sea level, according to USGS.

BY CELESTE WATTS AND JEFF CHEN / EDITED BY WILL SHORTZ Celeste Watts, of Bloomfield Hills, Mich., is a retired elementary school teacher. After years of solving puzzles in her spare time, she decided to try making one herself. Her first 14 attempts for The Times were rejected, but she persevered. For this one, she collaborated with Jeff Chen, a writer and professional crossword constructor in Seattle, whom she calls “a gifted, patient mentor.” The theme idea is Celeste’s. Jeff helped her execute it. Finally, success! “One off my bucket list!” — W.S.
