NKY pastor tests positive for COVID-19, church suspends services Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Bo Weaver, pastor of The Bridge, runs the Christian church with his wife, Jann. THANKS TO BO WEAVER

The Bridge Church senior pastor Bo Weaver tested positive for COVID-19, he announced in a Friday Facebook post.

The church, located in Alexandria, is suspending live services for the next two weeks, the post states.

“Fortunately, my symptoms have been mild and I would probably not have been tested if I had not already been scheduled to see my doctor. I am on the back end of the virus and am feel-

ing better each day, but will continue to quarantine until I am completely symptom-free,” Weaver wrote.

The church plans to resume services on Aug. 2 “if all goes well,” according to the post. In the meantime, online services will be broadcast Sundays at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m.

In the post, Weaver pleaded with his congregation to take precautions to stay healthy and wear masks.

He wrote that anyone with symptoms should get tested.

Weaver announced on July 12 that he

would be retiring from pastoral ministry after nearly 40 years.

He wrote that 14 of those years were spent at The Bridge Church.

“I have counted it a great privilege to serve God and His people in the capacity of pastor, and Jannie and I could not have enjoyed more love and support over these many years than what we have received. From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank each and every one of you for the sheer joy of knowing you and serving Jesus together with you,” Weaver wrote.

NKY police chief credited with progressive policies upon retirement Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Dayton, Kentucky's police chief will retire Aug. 1, according to a Dayton Police Department release.

David Halfhill, a Dayton resident, has been chief of the city's police chief for more than fi ve years, according to the release.

He also spent 13 years as a Campbell County Police Department offi cer.

The decision to retire came after enormous thought and refl ection, Halfhill said in a release.

“Being police chief in Dayton has provided me with an opportunity to work and partner with exceptional city

staff members who strive daily to make Dayton the best it can be,” Halfhill said in his letter of resignation to Dayton Mayor Ben Baker and city administrator Michael Giff en.

Baker, who credited Halfhill with establishing progressive policies, said he modernized the police department's vehicles and equipment and updated and improved department policies.

One of the policies Halfhill implemented was one prohibiting racial profi ling.

Halfhill instituted a use of force continuum that outlined the escalation of physical force that an offi cer should use to control a situation or the

actions of people, according to the release.

Halfhill created and enforced a daytime curfew for school-age children, according to the release. He started and supported a neighborhood watch program.

The department went through the accreditation process administered by the Kentucky Police Chiefs’ Association under Halfhill.

During his time as chief, Baker said the city’s crime rate improved dramatically, with Dayton surpassing 50 cities on Kentucky “safest cities list,” going from being ranked as the 74th safest city in the state in 2014 to the 24th safest city in 2018.

CAMPBELL RECORDER

Plans for the Beverly Hills Supper Club site move forward Campbell County commission unanimously approve zone change Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The day after Darla McCollister wed at the Beverly Hills Supper Club, she hoped everyone would call her back to tell her they survived the deadly fi re.

One didn’t, she told the room of people at the Southgate Community Center July 14. McCollister, 64, clutched her wedding album as she explained why she opposed parts of the proposed $64 million mixed-use development for the 80-acre site. It’s where the fi re scorched her dress, killed 167 people and injured more than 200 people over Memorial Day weekend in 1977.

On July 14, the Campbell County zoning commission, which reviews projects like this for cities within the county, unanimously approved the zone change the developers needed to move the project forward.

Some residents supported the project and said its the best future for the property. But, many residents expressed concern about the location of the fi re victims memorial.

In May, Southgate City Council entered into a joint agreement with the Edgewood, Ky.-based construction fi rm Ashley Builders and Cincinnati-based Vision Realty Group to develop the land.

McCollister was one of a dozen com-

munity members to share what adjustments they’d like to see for the proposed project that includes apartments, homes and a long term senior center.

The proposed project includes plans for a memorial to be built at the bottom of the hill of the development to remember those who died in the fi re. The location of the memorial was the main concern community members had.

Residents said they want the memorial to be on top of the hill where the cabaret room within the club once stood.

It’s where most of the people died, McCollister explained. Right now, the plan is to have a park there that wouldn’t be a public park, according to the proposed development plan.

Other residents who opposed the proposed plan asked for an updated traffi c study and an environmental study. Many wanted the land to be surveyed to see if any human bodies remain.

Here’s what the 80-acre site will have: h 89 single-family, two- to four-bedroom homes that will be off ered starting in the upper $300,000 range. h 100 to 200 apartments that will cost $1,100 to $2,000 a month with amenities that include a pool, indoor exercise facility and event center. h Up to 90 residential units in a for-

Hundreds call for removal of school’s Confederacy link Max Londberg Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

As a member of the Rebel Brigade, Spencer Zembrodt marched in the percussion section, playing the marimba and xylophone.

He wasn’t a member of a designated hate group by the same name – one that is affi liated with the Ku Klux Klan. He was a student in the Boone County High School marching band about a decade ago.

The band’s name is now the Marching Rebels, and in 2017, the district phased out the Mr. Rebel mascot, who decades ago was often photographed before a Confederate fl ag and clad in a Confederate uniform for years.

But recently, hundreds of people signed Zembrodt’s petition to remove the Rebel mascot entirely. The mascot’s link to a racist past cannot be undone simply by phasing out some of its imagery, Zembrodt said.

More than 1,400 people have signed the petition calling on the district to create a new mascot – at the time this article was originally published. Zembrodt and another graduate, Molly Stephens, created the petition.

“We’ve been killing (the rebel affi li-

Boone County High School's imagery of "Mr. Rebel," once frequently pictured before a Confederate flag, was phased out in 2017. But now hundreds are calling on the district to remove the mascot entirely. FILE PHOTO

ation) softly, and for me, when you do that, it tells me that you know there’s something wrong and you’re trying really hard not to make it right,” Zembrodt told The Enquirer. “And I think the only right thing to do is to choose a new mascot, a new nickname that will work for everybody and that embraces the entire

community.”

Zembrodt said the Mr. Rebel image appeared on class rings as late as 2007.

The mascot last appeared as a Confederate general wearing a light blue uniform (for the school’s colors), feathered cap, and a mustache that was a cross between the horseshoe and English styles.

Barbara Brady, a district spokesperson, told The Enquirer that the school “already addressed the mascot issue numerous times. There will be no further comment.”

When the mascot was retired in 2017, it came after a 2016 vote by the school’s Site-Based Decision Making Council, which includes faculty and parent representatives. Principal Timothy Schlotman told The Enquirer then that he approached the council with the idea “because (the logo) did not fi t with the global community of our building and the unity we were embracing.”

At the end of the 2018-19 school year, the most recent data available, 24.4% of Boone County High School’s students were people of color, according to Kentucky Department of Education data.

Schlotman, who’s been at the school for decades, confi rmed in 2017 that there’s a story among some former stu-

dents that the selection of the mascot name had nothing to do with the Confederacy but with a movie. The school opened a year before “Rebel Without a Cause” starring James Dean debuted in 1955.

Another version of the mascot’s genesis was that students in the school’s fi rst graduating class were debating what mascot to pick and the school’s principal told them “you’re nothing but a bunch of rebels.” The name stuck, or so the story goes.

Calls to eliminate the mascot are nothing new.

Akila Hughes, another former Boone County student who became a nationally known comedian, recalled in a 2015 Enquirer article how a classmate refused to remove the Rebel fl ag from his school lanyard and a teacher said the “real racists” were those against the imagery.

“I wonder about the students of color attending the school now, who have to isolate themselves from their peers to fi nd peace and acceptance,” wrote Hughes, who is Black. “Like I did.”

NKY bar owner shows defi ance of mask order Kody Fisher and Jared Goffinet Fox19

The owner of a Florence bar is apologizing after a video surfaced of him and his customers defying Gov. Andy Beshear’s mask ordinance, but he says the apology isn’t because no one is wearing a mask.

“We’re Americans. We’re going to do what we want,” says Patrick Townsend, owner of Town’s End Bar, at the beginning of the video.

Townsend is with about 20 customers standing arm and arm with no one wearing a mask.

He says he’s not apologizing about the lack of masks, but for the profanity he used in the video.

“My language was very, very abra-

sive, and if you heard that I’m very sorry,” he said.

Townsend stands by his message in the video against the mask order because he says, “it is a basic intrusion of our civil liberties.”

He added that Gov. Andy Beshear is now doing what the governor “complained about President Trump” doing.

“Before he has complained about President Trump trying to control what the states do,” Townsend said. “Well, he’s doing the same thing with all the county commissions and mayors. Let them do their job.”

Townsend says he fears the mask order will hurt his bar’s already suff ering sales because of the pandemic.

“My number one priority in life is to protect my family,” Townsend ex-

plained. “That is the number one thing for me. Not to make money, not to do anything, but to protect my family and I feel like he is taking that right away from me.”

The bar owner says hand sanitizer is sitting out for customers, his employees are wearing masks and tables outside are 6 feet apart.

Jamie Baynum lives right around the corner from the bar.

When she saw the video she says her fi rst thought was about the health and safety of her family and neighbors.

She is imploring everyone in the community to comply with the mask order.

“We all have to do what we can,” Baynum said. “We have to give something up. We have to not be selfi sh and just do

what we can to stop the spread. This is a pandemic and it’s not even close to being over.”

Baynum explained that she fears everything will get shut back down again if people do not follow the orders.

“I was furloughed for two and a half months, so I’m afraid that will happen again,” Baynum said.

The Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron is challenging the legality of the mask order in court right now.

But for the time being, Beshear says his mask order remains in eff ect.

Police: Suspect at-large after armed robbery at Covington loan agency Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

An unknown armed suspect robbed the Check 'N Go Check Cashing in Covington July 15, according to police.

Police responded to the loan agency on Scott Street at 10:20 a.m., according to a release. No one was harmed during the incident.

The release states the suspect followed an employee into the business and brandished a fi rearm. He then "bullied his way" into the rear of the business where he forced employees to remove money from a safe.

It is unclear how much money was stolen during the off ense.

The suspect then fl ed the scene in an unknown direction, according to the release. The Covington Police Criminal Investigations Bureau is investigating.

The suspect is approximately 6 feet tall and in his late 20s, according to police.

Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to call Covington police at 859-292-2234.

It’s a well-known fact that for many older Americans, the home is their single biggest 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 the most out of your builtup equity.

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 7.19 trillion dollars* of unused home equity.

Not only are people living longer than ever before, but there is also greater uncertainty in the ecomony. With home prices back up again,

believe the home must be paid off in full 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 blessing for seniors living on a fixed income. Unfortunately, many senior homeowners who might be better off with a HECM loan don’t even bother to get more information because of rumors they’ve heard.

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

All things considered, it’s not surprising that more than a million homeowners have already used a government-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) loan to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement.

It’s a fact: no monthly mortgage payments are required with a government-insured HECM loan; however the borrowers are still responsible for paying for the maintenance of their home, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees.

Today, HECM loans are simply an effective way for homeowners 62 and older to get the extra cash they need to enjoy retirement.

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.

CAMPBELL RECORDER

41 years later, murder victim gets tombstone Amber Hunt Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

For the families of victims killed in unsolved murders, life has been at a standstill for a long time, even before the pandemic arrived.

Over the next several weeks, The Enquirer will highlight a series of cold cases, summarized and analyzed by the journalists whose careers largely focus on unsolved murders: the creators of Cincinnati.com’s Accused podcast. If you have any information on any unsolved case, please reach out to the appropriate law enforcement agency. Suggestions for cases to highlight can be sent to accused@enquirer.com.

The crime: When 15-year-old Liam Collins decided to clean up an overgrown cemetery in Boone County, Kentucky, this year, he had no idea he’d soon be learning about a murder mystery.

At the mystery’s center is Lesley Sparrow, a busy businesswoman described as sassy and independent, successful and confi dent – with the spirit of a daredevil to boot. So when the 35year-old received an invitation in the fall of 1979 to partake in her fi rst skydiving show in Arizona, she eagerly accepted and packed her bags.

But it turned out the end to Sparrow’s story was the kind you see in horror movies. The invitation had been fake, apparently staged by someone with designs to kill. Sparrow’s lifeless body was discovered in the trunk of her own car on Sunday, Oct. 14, 1979, in a vicious slaying that remains unsolved.

The volunteer: Usually in this space, we highlight cases suggested by family members or law-enforcement offi cials still haunted by a mystery they desperately want solved. Not so this time.

Sparrow, who had no family nearby and only coworkers grieving her locally, had been so forgotten that her body was buried within the overgrown confi nes of the Boone County Infi rmary Cemetery.

That property, which for 100 years had gone by the more straightforward title of “Poor House,” housed dozens of indigent people unable to aff ord to live on their own. The Burlington property today abuts the county’s animal shelter on Idlewild Road, which is how Sparrow’s story reached Liam Collins.

A grave marker stands at the Old Boone County Infi rmary Cemetery (also known as the Boone County Poor House) in Burlington on July 11. The marker belongs to Leslie Sparrow who was murdered and found in the trunk of her car in 1979. Her killer was never identifi ed. As part of his Eagle Scout Service Project Liam Collins, 15, of Fort Mitchell is replacing the current marker with a tombstone.

Lesley Sparrow, 35, was found dead in the trunk of her car on Oct. 14, 1979.

Forty years later, 15-year-old Liam Collins has raised donations for a traditional granite headstone.

GRACE PRITCHETT/THE ENQUIRER

PROVIDED

Liam’s brother, 17-year-old Aidan Collins, had adopted the animal shelter as his Eagle Scout service project – meaning he led a volunteer eff ort last year to clean up the shelter’s land as he advanced from Life to Eagle Scout. As they cleared away brush, they uncovered a sign for the infi rmary cemetery hidden along a fence. Liam made a mental note because he was looking for a service project of his own to lead this year.

“In the process of getting signatures to start work on the project, we had to go out with a few representatives from Boone County,” Liam said as he worked to clean the site last weekend. Those county reps had pointed out a bizarre marker crafted of refl ective aluminum and galvanized metal that read simply: “Lesley P. Sparrow, 5/27/44-10/14/79.”

“They said, ‘Do you see that grave?

She’s actually a murder victim. It’s a cold case,’ ” recalled Liam, who quickly expanded his project to raise money for a more traditional granite tombstone that he hopes “will stand the test of time.”

“It’s kind of sad, really, that she’s buried here,” Liam said. “You would think

she’d be in a regular cemetery based on those conditions, but I guess her family just didn’t have the means.”

Records of who’s buried in the cemetery are incomplete, but county offi cials estimate it’s the fi nal resting place of some 100 people. Most are crudely marked with blank stones jutting from the earth.

Sparrow’s new marker is being engraved and will be installed in coming weeks. It will join, rather than replace, the original marker, said Liam’s father, Tim Collins.

The victim: Sparrow had means.

She’d been born in Dartford, England, in 1944. In 1964, she moved to the U.S., according to reports published in the Paducah Sun after her slaying. Investigators said she was still in touch with family abroad, but transporting a body is an expensive, complicated matter.

Sparrow worked for a now-defunct aluminum company called Anaconda Industries, which explains the marker’s resemblance to a street sign. The company off ered a $25,000 reward for information leading to an arrest, but nothing

came of it.

“She knew a number of people and had a delightful personality,” Donald Stamper, then a Boone County Police captain, told the Louisville CourierJournal two months after the slaying.

“She still had an accent and she was fun to be around, very independent and friendly. A lot of people liked her ... Obviously, somebody didn’t.”

That addendum is an understatement. Sparrow’s death is a case of what authorities call “overkill.” Then-coroner Don Stith found her skull had been bashed about 15 times with a tire iron.

She also had been shot six times in the head. Add this to the phony skydiving invitation that lured her from Louisville to the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, and it’s obvious this slaying was anything but random.

The investigation: Whoever killed Sparrow had put on quite a charade.

They knew she loved risky sports – white-water rafting was a favorite – and they invoked names of Sparrow’s See TOMBSTONE, Page 8A

friends in the invitation.

Stamper learned there was no skydiving event in Arizona and no private plane arranged to make the trip, as Sparrow had told colleagues.

“She was very excited about the trip,” said Charles Ebert, who worked in the corporate security department of the Atlantic Richfi eld Co., Anaconda’s parent company. “She was a very independent woman. She would take on challenges.

She had a lot of spirit, a lot of confi dence.”

Stamper said at the time that the motive was clear: “Jealousy,” he said, of the girlfriend-boyfriend variety. Stamper had alluded to a Louisville man as a suspect, but no charges were ever fi led.

What should happen: Whenever I read about investigators having zeroed in early on a suspect in a cold case, I can’t help but wonder if the initial belief was off base. Was jealousy really the only motivation to consider?

Sparrow had amicably divorced in 1975, and her ex-husband had since remarried and moved out of state. What if the motive had something to do with her job? Hear me out, because I see this as a two-prong possibility. First, Sparrow’s job was as an employee-relations supervisor, a role that sometimes can translate to confl ict.

Second, the company for which she worked has baggage. Beginning in the early ‘80s, some of its parent company’s properties started becoming Superfund sites – a federal designation given to land that’s been contaminated by hazardous waste and is considered a risk to human health.

Plus, there’s this, taken from the Courier-Journal story that quotes Ebert: Ebert said Richfi eld’s policy of off ering rewards for information when an employee is violently killed is part of a two-year program that appears to be working.

He said the company has found that women who transfer from city to city are particularly vulnerable to violent crimes, “having moved away from families and friends.”

Just how many employees had to be “violently killed” to spark a reward program? Were any of these other violent killings compared with Sparrow’s?

For Sparrow, the end was gruesome.

Liam Collins, 15, of Fort Mitchell, Ky. rakes up the Old Boone County Infi rmary Cemetery (also known as the Boone County Poor House) in Burlington on July 11. Collins decided to clean up the overgrown land for his Eagle Scout Service Project.

The cemetery has many unmarked graves and one marked grave of a cold case murder victim, Leslie Sparrow. "Everybody should be remembered after death" Collins said. PHOTOS BY GRACE PRITCHETT/THE ENQUIRER

“She knew a number of people and had a delightful personality. She still had an accent and she was fun to be around, very independent and friendly. A lot of people liked her ... Obviously, somebody didn’t.”

Donald Stamper former Boone County Police captain

After she’d been beaten and repeatedly shot with a .25-caliber weapon, her body was shoved into the trunk of her own 1978 Monte Carlo. The car was abandoned in the parking lot of a motel, where a maid spotted blood and called police.

It’s heartbreaking to think her life meant so little that her body was discarded twice – once in her trunk, then again in a forgotten cemetery overrun by weeds and vines.

dying at a diff erent superfund-site-tobe, you won’t be surprised that we’ve requested this case fi le.

Cucumber season got you in a pickle? Try these neighbors’ birds, Erin and Josh Phillips, who live across the road.

I’ll tell you what – after yesterday, I understood why farm raised, hand harvested chickens sell at a premium price. So what did I get for helping?

Just what I wanted: a lot of chicken feet to make the best stock!

Now you’d think with all this chicken chatter I’d be sharing a recipe for, well, chicken. But not today. I picked two big baskets of cucumbers so I’ll be making pickles. Maybe you’d like to make some, too.

Cucumbers are in season so if you’re not growing them, check out your local farmers’ markets.

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

You’ll never guess how I spent my afternoon yesterday. A hint: it has to do with chickens. Any guesses? If you said “harvesting chickens” you’d be right. But I’m willing to bet not one of you guessed that. But that’s just what I did. The fi rst time ever. And they weren’t my “girls.”

The chickens I helped pluck feathers from and get freezer ready were my

Washtub pickles

2 cups thinly sliced onions

From reader Donna Woods, who sent the original recipe years ago. I still get requests for it. Donna’s family mixed it up in a laundry tub! When you fi rst mix these, they may look a bit dry, but as the pickles sit the juices flow. Tastes like a mild bread and butter pickle.

Very crisp!

2 cups thinly sliced carrots 2 red bell peppers, chopped (opt) Brine: Mix together until sugar dissolves:

Pickles:

2 cups clear or cider vinegar

Mix together:

Pour brine over veggies. Let sit several hours on counter, stirring every once in a while. Store in jars in refrigerator.

let stand 11⁄ 2 hours. Drain, rinse, drain again.

You don’t need to process these if you are storing in the refrigerator but if you are going to store them in the pantry, it’s a good idea to do that by processing 10 minutes in boiling water bath.

Tip: When canning pickles, use new flat seals. The rings can be reused.

Mason graduate Anna Brinkmann will be a junior for the NKU volleyball team in the 2020 season. COURTESY NKU

NKU volleyball hopes for chance to build on NCAA bid James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

This week’s postponement of fall sports in the Horizon League until Oct. 1 puts a pause on all Northern Kentucky University teams who are competing this season.

A NKU team with the most momentum to lose is the volleyball program, coming off its fi rst appearance in the NCAA Division I Tournament.

The Norse went 19-13 last season but peaked at the end, storming through the Horizon League Tournament from the No. 4 seed. NKU dropped only one set in three matches, upsetting No. 1 seed Wright State and No. 2 seed Milwaukee along the way. The Norse then lost to Michigan in the fi rst round of the NCAA Tournament.

This season’s postponement wipes away the fi rst month of the new season.

“It’s something we probably saw

coming as you start to see diff erent leagues around the country make decisions on postponing or canceling,” NKU head coach Liz Hart said. “I don’t think the news was a complete surprise. We’ll have a full team call on Sunday and we’ll learn to adapt.”

NKU’s players aren’t currently on campus. Hart said the current plan is for them to arrive in mid-August and start to get ready.

The postponement also aff ects soccer, cross country, golf and tennis.

September is a month of nonconference matches for the Norse volleyball team. Last year, the Norse played three weekend tournaments, playing majorconference foes Cincinnati, Notre Dame and Georgetown along the way. This season, NKU was set to host a tournament in Regents Hall with Louisville as one of the visiting teams.

Former UK standout Epps joins women’s coaching staff at NKU James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – Northern Kentucky University women’s basketball head coach Camryn Whitaker recently announced the addition of Anthony Epps to her staff , adding the Kentucky native as an assistant coach eff ective immediately.

Epps was a key member and point guard of the University of Kentucky’s 1996 national championship basketball team.

“We are absolutely thrilled Coach Epps decided to join our family at Northern Kentucky University,” said Whitaker. “I had the privilege of coaching Anthony’s daughter, Makayla, at the University of Kentucky and can’t wait to have him alongside helping lead our talented group of young women. His play-

ing experience at a championship level, knowledge of the game and ability to coach and develop players will help our team reach another level! We welcome Anthony and his family to Epps Norse Nation and can’t wait to get started.”

Makayla Epps was the leading scorer on the Marion County girls team that fi nished a perfect 39-0 during the 201213 season, defeating Notre Dame in the Sweet 16 state fi nal for the 39th win.

Anthony Epps stated, “I’m grateful and blessed to be joining the women’s basketball staff at Northern Kentucky University. Thank you Coach Whitaker for this amazing opportunity in the next chapter of my life. I am excited to work with this staff and team as we compete

for Horizon League Championships! To God be the Glory! #NorseUp.” With more than a dozen years of coaching experience at a variety of levels and among a plethora of sports, Epps has honed his coaching acumen. Most recently, Epps was the head boys basketball coach at Campbellsville High School, where he led the team to the 5th Region All “A” Tournament Championship and worked as an Exceptional Child Education Teacher.

Prior to serving as the boys head coach, he was the girl’s head coach at Campbellsville for three seasons, being named the 5th Region Co-Coach of the Year in 2017.

Epps is no stranger to success in the Bluegrass State. Following a distinguished prep career that included a 1993 KHSAA state championship for Marion County, he went on to an exceptional ca-

reer at the University of Kentucky where he was a member of the 1996 NCAA National Championship team and then helped lead the Wildcats to the Final Four in 1997 as a team captain.

UK went 124-19 in his four seasons playing in Lexington. Epps still ranks in the top-10 in four diff erent statistical categories for Kentucky, including second all-time in assists (544).

The NKU women’s team went 20-12 overall last season, including a 12-6 Horizon League record, in the 2019-20 campaign.

The Norse ran through the fi rst two rounds of competition in the Horizon League Tournament before falling in the fi nal seconds of an exhilarating semifi nals matchup.

NKU returns nine players from last year’s team, including four of its top fi ve scorers.

NDA’s state softball all-star puts pandemic in perspective James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer

USA TODAY NETWORK

Pittsburgh Pirates backup catcher Luke Maile, a Covington Catholic High School grad, will be out 10-12 weeks after having surgery to repair a fractured right index fi nger, ESPN.com reported.

Maile was slated to back up starter Jacob Stallings and be one of three catchers the Pirates planned to carry.

The fi ve-year MLB veteran was signed by the Pirates in the off season.

In his fi ve seasons, Maile has hit .198 with 10 home runs and 60 RBI in 215 games.

He played the last three seasons with the Toronto Blue Jays following two with the Tampa Bay Rays.

The Pirates begin the regular season at St. Louis on July 24.

The Norse graduated three players from last year’s team, including Laura Crawford, who was second on the team in kills and third in digs; and Shelby Olsen, who shared setting duties with returner Miranda Wucherer and led the team in assists.

The Norse return three seniors, including libero Ashton Terrill, who led the team in digs and is a two-time allconference honoree, including fi rst team in 2018.

Anna Brinkmann, a junior from Mason High School, led the team in kills with 369, three per set. She also had 41 aces and was second on the team in digs. She had a career-high 23 kills in a fi ve-set win over Cincinnati, who also went to the NCAA Tournament.

Brinkmann was fi rst-team All-Horizon League last season and honorable mention all-region. She was second-

team all-state twice while at Mason.

Natalie Hardig, a junior from Notre Dame, had 120 kills and was second on the team in total blocks a year ago. She was all-tournament in the Horizon League in 2018.

The Norse have three incoming freshmen from area schools. Zoe Epplen, an outside hitter from St. Henry, was second-team all-state last year and fi nished with 839 career kills.

Torie Houston, a setter and hitter from Holy Cross, was second-team allstate last year. Her cousin is former NKU standout Jayden Julian.

Freshman Allie Siefke, a 6-foot-1 middle blocker from St. Ursula, led the Bulldogs to a 20-6 record last season.

Hart, a Mother of Mercy graduate who is still NKU’s all-time leader in kills (1,850), is 180-116 in her 10 years at the helm with four 20-win seasons.

That includes NKU’s fi nal two years of Division II competition, when she led the Norse to the NCAA Tournament in 2010 and 2011, and then the National Invitational in 2018.

Serena Paterno enjoyed the chance to represent Notre Dame Academy softball one more time.

The new 2020 NDA graduate represented the Ninth Region July 14 in a series of senior all-star softball games in Versailles sponsored by Kentucky Prep Softball. She was the only Northern Kentucky player selected to one of the four all-star teams, each of which represented four regions.

“It was nice to get out and play, start the end of my high school career,” she said. “It was good. I had a lot of fun. It was nice to play with the best girls in Kentucky.”

Paterno played two games, one at third base and one behind the plate at catcher.

“Just getting to play with a bunch of new girls,” she said. “It was fun to play with some really great players and talk to them, where their softball journey has taken them. I fi nally got to play a high school game for my senior year.”

Paterno was one of the top returning players in Northern Kentucky. She has committed to play for Division III John Carroll University in the Cleveland area, where she will major in exercise science.

“I loved the campus,” she said. “I really like the small class sizes. When I went to visit I got to sit in on a class and I really liked the small class sizes and getting individual time with the professors. Everyone on that campus was so friendly and it was a plus to play softball there.”

Paterno was a veteran starter for the Pandas. In 2019, her junior and fi nal season, she led the Pandas on offense, hitting .500 with 11 doubles, seven triples and a team-high 43 RBI. NDA was 34th District champion and Ninth Region runner-up, fi nishing with a 2014 record. She had seven hits and nine RBI in the Ninth Region Tournament.

As a freshman, she helped the Pandas to their last Ninth Region title.

Senior Serena Paterno would have played softball this spring for Notre Dame Academy. MARK PATERNO

NDA fi nished 23-13 and won one game in the state tournament.

Paterno vividly remembers the team’s most dramatic win in the postseason that year, a 4-3 win over Boone County in the regional semifi nals with their season on the line.

“There were so many upsets that season,” she said. “We came out in the last inning and we got a double play to get out of a jam we were in. I remember starting a rally. Another freshman, Maddie Prospero, and Olivia Meier came up behind me and got singles. Top of the lineup, Cori Ladanyi, hit a double to win it.”

Paterno plays club ball with the Cincy Magic and regrets missing out on a senior season with the Pandas because of the pandemic. “It’s been a roller coaster of emotions,” she said. “In the beginning, I was really upset about it because I was really excited about the season. I think we were going to go to the regional tournament again and do really well.

I’ve been able to come to terms with it. I realized it was more important to be with the team again than just being able to play.”

How to have better dinner table conversations Polly Campbell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

I’ve spent a lot of time eating in restaurants since 1996. That means I have also spent a lot of time having dinner table conversations. I have met new people, gotten to know others better, argued, chit-chatted, joked, commiserated and learned things. I’ve had too much to drink and said things I shouldn’t have, and I’ve also just eaten in companionable silence with my husband.

And sometimes I’ve been frustrated and bored.

It may be a while before some of us feel comfortable sitting around a table, elbow-to-elbow, talking over dinner. But before I give up my space here, I have some thoughts on what makes for good dinner table conversation. (I love you, all my friends!)

We do all kinds of things deliberately to look better, to get ahead at work. But when it comes to how we interact with our friends, strangers or people we’d like to be friends with, we just do what we’ve always done.

Most of us just say whatever comes into our minds and so many conversations are just each person waiting for the other person to stop talking about themselves so

you can take a turn to talk about yourself.

I say, make an eff ort. Approach a sociable dinner with some intention. Think about topics beyond just the daily you. Cultivate stories, think about how to present your opinions, rely on questions that spark conversation. Try to be vivid! Everyone will just talk about how they mow their law or their favorite TV shows unless someone makes an eff ort. Be that person.

Or be the other good kind of person in a conversation: the thoughtful listener. Actually respond to what someone just said with empathy or laughter or a follow-up question. One thing I love about millennials is that they say things like, “I love you so much!” or, “That is the best thing anyone has ever told me!” It’s a little ridiculous, but it feels good.

What I’ve learned from doing interviews is that people don’t tell you everything. It can seem rude to ask for clarifi cation, but if you don’t quite understand what someone’s talking about, ask a follow-up question. Don’t be embarrassed. If you ever listen to podcast interviews, you can hear how hosts often reiterate and amplify what the interviewee just said. Emulate them. If you ask questions about people, they will like

you.

Really listen to how much you talk. Or ask your friends. Are you hogging the conversation? I’ve always been fascinated by non-stop talkers. Not fascinated to listen to them, but fascinated as to why they don’t get the social cues that they are boring everyone around them. Unlike a cocktail party, you can’t just pretend you saw someone across the room to get out of a tedious conversation. It’s OK to specifi cally interrupt or change the subject or turn to someone else at the table and say, “So what do YOU think?”

For some people, like my family, interrupting shows they’re interested and engaged. My husband’s an only child, and he needs a more polite style with moments of silence when he can get a word in. He’s mostly quiet, but then he’ll say something hilarious or clever and only the people who had stopped talking will get the benefi t of it.

If you’re out with friends from work, talk about work. Sometimes you have to. But if someone’s spouse is there, take a break. Especially if it’s complaining. In fact, complaining and gossiping about work is No. 1 on

Crossroads Church to close its buildings through 2020, will host outdoor services Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The church will instead gather for outdoor events, according to a release.

“The church has never been designed to be limited to buildings,” Senior Pastor Brian Tome said. “Look all over the world and history, you’ll fi nd people of faith that have thrived and grown without haze machines, free coff ee, or a parking team.”

Footlighters presents virtual radio show, Fibber McGee and Molly Footlighters will present “Fibber McGee and Molly,” taking place online

The “Worship at the Cove” events will occur each Sunday morning at Yeatman’s Cove and will include live worship and a brief teaching, the release states. Participants will be required to RSVP online, wear masks and follow social distancing guidelines.

The website describes the weekly gatherings as “a no frills experience with God, built around live worship and classic preaching.” Offi cials say the experience will be similar to a Crossroads Camp. “There will not be coff ee.

Audience members can log in to www.footlighters.org to enjoy the show.

“The Johnson Wax Program with Fibber McGee and Molly” (the show’s full sponsored name) is one of the rare radio programs which has achieved a kind of immortality. Well after the series petered out in the mid-1950s, people still respond to the words “Fibber McGee,” even if they’ve never heard the original.

Performers and listeners today will fi nd the show a time capsule, full of corny jokes, and timeless references.

The show also emits genuine good feelings, a true sense of happiness, and plenty of lessons to be learned.

The virtual show will feature direction by Amanda Marasch-Brinkman and music direction by Matthew Nassida.

“Fibber McGee and Molly” is the fi rst of many virtual shows to come from Footlighters. In the midst of the global pandemic, they are proud to provide performers and patrons a safe outlet to enjoy the arts.

Footlighters will be accepting donations through their website www.footlighters.org as a “pay what you can” price to bring the show to their patrons.

When asked about the show, director, Amanda Marasch-Brinkman said, “With our version you have the option to tune in and listen or to log in and watch the adventure of putting on a radio

Talk to young people about wants, needs and opportunity costs The COVID-19 pandemic has strained many families’ fi nances. If your budget has tightened, it is important to communicate with all your family members about the new fi nancial realities. This includes young people.

Talking to young people about money may be diffi cult and uncomfortable, but it is an important conversation to have to make sure everyone understands the situation.

While they may not be fi nancial contributors, young people do infl uence the family’s budget with their needs and wants, and many times, they have an

Crossroads Church buildings have been closed since mid-March, but streaming services have continued. The in-person outdoor Sunday events will occur for the next month, and then offi cials will determine how to proceed.

Members have donatied food and sewing masks for frontline workers. The church hosted a collection drive for local seniors in March. Recently, Crossroads members and pastors attended a prayer walk with other church congregations from Yeatman’s Cove to Fountain Square in response to local and national unrest surrounding racial justice.

unrealistic view of their family’s fi nancial situation.

You can approach conversations about family fi nances in age-appropriate ways. Perhaps one of Prim the simplest ways to explain budget tightening is to talk with your young person about the diff erence between a want and a need.

A need is an item that is necessary for survival. Food, clothing, shelter, and medical services are all needs. Most people’s basic needs are the same.

In contrast, a want is not a necessity but something you feel could add comfort and happiness to your life. Wants will diff er among people depending upon their interests, tastes, and lifestyle.

After explaining to young people about wants and needs, talk to them about opportunity costs. Also known as tradeoff s, opportunity costs are things you give up in order to have something else.

As many families tighten their budgets, parents can explain to their children how it is important to put some of their wants on hold and focus on the family’s needs for now.

SCHOOL NEWS St. Henry District High School welcomes new principal, assistant principal, and guidance counselor St. Henry District High School started a new chapter this week following the retirement of Mr. David Otte, who served as principal of St. Henry for 30 years.

The new leadership team of Mr. David Gish, principal, and Mr. Grant Brannen, assistant principal, hit the ground running, meeting with the Diocese of Covington, local principals, parents, teachers, and staff to ensure SHDHS is ready to welcome students back on campus next month.

Over the last 32 years, Gish has served as a teacher, athletic director, and assistant principal at SHDHS. He completed his Rank I in administration at Xavier University and earned both a master’s degree in education administration and bachelor’s degree in secondary business education at Northern Kentucky University.

“I look forward to this opportunity and am grateful to work with an incredibly talented faculty and staff ,” said Gish. “We will continue to educate our students to live the Catholic faith, be active in their faith community, and to be leaders in developing their academic talents.”

Brannen has taught in public and parochial education for the last 17 years.

During this time, he has also worked as assistant athletic director, intermittently served as acting principal at Walton-Verona High School, and participated in a variety of committees including Title IX, Professional Development, and Safety Procedure. He is currently working with Northern Kentucky Superintendents on the NKCES COVID-19 Task Force.

Brannen received a bachelor’s degree in secondary education from Northern Kentucky University, master’s degree in

curriculum, instruction, and assessment from Walden University. Brannen is also completing his Rank I in administration. He and his wife reside in Wilder with their two children.

“I am excited to be a part of the Crusader family, a great Catholic school which is rich in history, tradition and academic excellence,” said Brannen.

SHDHS is also excited to welcome Mrs. Molly Roebker as Senior Guidance Counselor. Roebker has been working in college admissions and high school counseling for 25 years.

Early in her career, she worked in college admissions and fi nancial aid at Thomas More University and Saint Louis University.

For the past 15 years, she has devoted her time and talent to counseling high school students and their families at Saint Ursula Academy, St. Xavier High School, and Archbishop Moeller High School in Cincinnati, OH. Roebker’s expertise is the college search and application process with

special emphasis on merit-based scholarship criteria and need-based college fi nancial assistance.

A native of Owensboro, KY, she completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Kentucky and her master’s degree at Saint Louis University in St. Louis, MO. Roebker and her husband live in Erlanger with their four children.

“Counseling senior students and their families is my vocation so that’s what I’m most looking forward to next year,” said Roebker. “I’m also excited to learn more about the history and culture of SHDHS by listening to and working with students, parents, alumni, faculty, and staff .”

“Mr. Brannen and Mrs. Roebker bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to St. Henry and we are blessed to have them on our team as we begin a new school year during these uncertain times,” said Gish.

A good conversation is never about complaining or how much you dislike things. If you talk about politics or the state of the world, it’s easy to get into a negative place. When you’re with people who agree with you, there’s a tendency to just make it worse with every

sentence of further outrage. If that happens to you, think of some things you’ve heard about that are positive on the subject so you don’t spiral downward.

Take time to talk about the food. My personal rule is that while you’re eating one meal, don’t talk about other meals,

past or future. Just enjoy what you’re having now. If you’re lucky enough to be eating good food, stop and enjoy it, make it part of the conversation. That is an opportunity to bind yourself to other human beings.
