JULY 2020
By Reid Maus
A
s the summer is starting to turn towards the downswing, that can only mean one thing-football is right around the corner. Very few high schools have a fan base as devoted as Fairfield. For five Friday’s every fall Alumni Stadium is packed to the brim with raving fans, all cheering on the Indians. And for the past couple of years, they’ve had something to cheer about, but it always hasn’t been that way. Before the 2011 season, head coach Jason Krause, decided to leave Middletown to lead the struggling Fairfield program. Middletown was coming off an undefeated season, while the Indians only were the victors in two games. When Krause left Middletown there were several people that questioned the move, but for him, it was an opportunity to have an experience like no other.
12 6
“Fairfield was the one place that the job came open with perfect timing, so I can be at the same place that my son was, and coach him,” said Krause. The decision came with two years marred with failure, followed by unprecedented success. In 2011 and 2012, the Indians won just three games. Since? They’ve only missed the playoffs one time (2014). Whenever a new coach comes into the fold, he is going to bring changes. Coach Krause was no different. “We wanted to change the total culture,” he said. “Working harder and being tougher were two of the big things. We also put more focus on offseason workouts and getting stronger.” Culture is often a buzzword around any successful organization, but it’s much easier to talk about than it

is to facilitate. “Setting high expectations is number one,” said Krause on how he was able to create a successful program for the Indians. “Number two was surrounding myself with coaches that believed in the same philosophy that I did. Coaches that were willing to put the time in every single day.” That’s a major difference in Fairfield’s program. The expectations are just put on players, but they’re put on everyone in the organization. And when Krause looks back at the help he has had over the past decade, he can’t limit his help to just one guy. “I can’t give you one name,” he said. “It’s my entire staff, every year I’ve been there. I can’t leave a guy out.” Heading into his 10th year at Fairfield and the Indians are looked at as a powerhouse not only in the GMC but throughout southwest Ohio. The culture has been changed. “Right now our kids believe that we’ve started a tradition here,” said Krause. “I know it’s cliche but ‘tradition doesn’t graduate,’ and I think our kids believe that.” It’s become a passing of the torch, from one class to the next. Each group wants to reach the playoffs just like the seniors did the previous fall. The only problem was that they couldn’t reach the next step. Five trips to the playoffs, five losses. In 2013 Fairfield was shutout in the second half, as they fell to Pickerington North. In 2015 they lost a barn burner to Elder. In 2016 and 2017 they fell victim to St. X. Then in 2018, they couldn’t hold on to beat Milford. Last fall was a different story. For the first time in Krause’s tenure, they were able to get past the first round playoff plateau, as they smacked rival Hamilton, 37-13. “Every year we want to play fifteen weeks. We talk about it,” said Krause. “So to fall short the last few years, then to get a playoff win it felt like we took another step.”
FOCUS
What’s the next step? “Win two playoff games,” he said laughing. “Obviously the expectations are a little higher each year. We want to play deeper in the playoffs.” If the season is played in 2020, then maybe it’s the year the Indians will play into week 15 up in Canton. Regardless of the season, regardless of the success, one thing will hold true. Coach Krause, who is heading into his 27th season as coach, will cherish the bonds he will make. “Relationships are the number one thing that makes me love what I do,” he said. “Relationships go hand and hand with this profession, and that is what is most important to me.”

By Mandy Gambrell When Fairfield residents were challenged to feed first responders and other people working when most of us were quarantined, they rose to the occasion. Karen Underwood Kramer, co-owner of Richard’s Pizza, says a contest between the cities of Hamilton and Fairfield to give steak sandwiches away was a huge success. The mayors, Steve Miller and Pat Moeller, laid down the gauntlet. They called upon Kramer to get the pizza business to join them in supporting Hamilton and Fairfield staffers at area hospitals, the city public works departments, the police and fire departments and more. They also sought to support Richard’s as a local business, which has restaurants in both cities. The “Mayors’ Challenge” was launched in May 2020 and lasted for one week. Patrons could donate funds of $5 or more to purchase sandwiches for essential workers, and Richard’s agreed to match all donations. Fairfield folks bought 191 sandwiches, which was matched by Richard’s Pizza. In total, 1,310 sandwiches were distributed to workers. Deliveries started in mid-May and were made to the fire departments in both cities, multiple shifts over multiple days; multiple shifts of workers at both Mercy and Fort Hamilton hospitals, the public works departments, wastewater facilities, city garages, the utility customer service departments, finance departments and more. Kramer said deliveries were made to the folks who really kept things running while everyone was quarantined during the pandemic. “I think it was a wonderful thing to do, and we had so much fun being a part of it,” she said. “I have had so much fun being part of the deliveries and personally thanking the fire and police departments, all the city workers and the healthcare personnel. I didn’t realize how much fun it would be to go out there and say thank you.”

Rick’s Tavern, Equipped With New Owners in 2020, Weathered the Pandemic Because of Community By Laura Leavitt Owning a business is a tough, exciting venture in the best of times. When Doug and Kathleene Getz completed the purchase of Rick’s Tavern and Grille, it was January 13th 2020. They had no idea that they’d be closing the doors only two months later as part of the stay-at-home order. “We were actually closed for longer than we’d been opened,” says Kathleene. “We were definitely nervous.” Doug and Kathleene’s history with Rick’s Tavern actually goes back to 1996, when Rick Sizemore himself opened the tavern. It was a smaller space back then. “He hired me as the first manager,” says Doug. “We had worked together at TGI Friday’s in the past.” Over the years, Doug became kitchen manager, and Kathleene worked as a bartender at the Tavern as well. For a full decade, Doug and Kathleene were part of shaping the business and watching it grow. “The biggest thing has always been the food,” says Doug. “We’ve always emphasized it.” Both Doug and Kathleene spent time in the restaurant business elsewhere during their careers, but Rick’s Tavern was in the back of their minds as they started to consider owning their own place. “We wanted a comfortable, safe environment that was clean. We knew we wanted a kitchen and plenty of space for live music, and not every place we looked at had that,” says Kathleene. “When we found out that Rick’s Tavern was available, I told my husband, ‘why not just get the original?’ We already had so much invested here for years, and we loved this place.” Opening under new ownership, Rick’s Tavern had a loyal following that embraced the new owners. However, the coronavirus did worry them. The team had to leap into action when the shutdown happened right before their big yearly St. Patrick’s Day party.
“We had our full menu available for to-go orders and delivery,” says Kathleene. “We had a lot of support from a lot of friends over the years, and we’ve had people come in and buy a lot of food to go, and they really helped keep us alive so we could reopen.” They also took that time to do touch-ups to the space, with projects ranging from repainting to rearranging furniture. They hired Chef Kelly Farwick, who is maintaining the soul of Rick’s classic food while making some updates. “I’m trying to make things in-house that might not have been before, like our marinara,” she says. “I’ve put together seasonal salads and a lasagna special. Our ribs are a best seller and they are staying the way they are. We also have had lots of made-from-scratch soups for a long time that are very popular.” The attention to detail with the menu is driven by a slight shift in the tavern’s mission going forward. While there is still going to be a great live music scene in the future, the team also wants to be known as a restaurant in addition to being a bar. “We wanted to focus on great food - we’re going to do some additions to make it even more of a destination spot,” says Doug. Through the co-owners’ experience, they’ve learned some valuable lessons about how to weather even the difficult times of the coronavirus. “We’re about going above and beyond to keep our guests coming back,” says Doug. “That’s the key to success. These people are my friends, so many people that I’ve known over the years and that I’m meeting every day. We’re a big family.”
Rick’s Tavern is open with social distancing in place to keep guests safe, and to-go orders are still more than welcome. rickstavern.com

No individual better personified the city of Fairfield in its transition from farming community to suburban center than the late Esther Benzing, who was born and died in the same house on Mack Road, and in her 99 years of life was known as “Mrs. Butler County” and “The First Lady of Fairfield.” My first foray into local journalism was as the editor of the weekly Fairfield Echo, and I remember quite clearly her first visit to the office to welcome me into the job, bearing an inscribed copy of her book, Fairfield, Ohio. She wanted to make sure I knew what Fairfield was all about, and was happy to learn that I lived in Fairfield as a child and knew a little. She was 86 years old at the time and gave definition to the word “sprightly.” In the five years I worked at that office, she visited frequently, driving herself to deliver her history columns. She always spoke plainly and directly, but was always delightful and would give great advice or deep background when asked of her. Though I heard that it was inadvisable to get on her bad side, that never happened. She seemed to like me and insisted I call her “Esther” and not “Mrs. Benzing.” So deep was her love of the heritage of Fairfield, Esther always called herself a farmer long after she had given up the actual practice. Her grandfather George Rudder began working the Erastus Mack farm near the
16
little village of Stockton beginning in 1857. Mack had built the house there shortly after he purchased the farm in 1830 from Thomas King of New Jersey, who had purchased the land from John Cleves Symmes but there’s no record that he’d ever seen it. The bricks were baked on site and the walls built 12 to 14 inches thick. Esther’s family saw several additions to the house through the years, and in 1981 it earned the Mayor’s Beautification Award to “set an example for others” in historic preservation. Esther was born there May 3, 1903, one of four children of John and Ella Rudder. She attended the Stockton School and grew up working on the farm. “I’ve done every kind of farm work from the time we farmed with horses to machinery,” she said in a 1977 interview, noting that because of the loyalty and service of the animals, the farm did not become mechanized until the last horse died. “You know, we would get up at 5:30 a.m., then we’d have to milk the cows after breakfast. The family was part of the farm and operated as a farm family.” Although by that time she let others do the farming for her, she still mowed the lawn herself, mostly to get away from “telephones ringing or people to bother you.” She married Hamilton physician George Benzing Jr. in 1925, and in 1930 they bought the house she was born in. They raised two children there. Her husband died in
JULY 2020 1952 at the age of 56. Esther’s public service began in earnest during World War II when she was named director of the U.S. Army and Navy Blood Donor Service through the Red Cross. She led a committee of fifty-five women to enlist 6,130 blood donors, far exceeding the required quota. At various times in her long and active life, she served on the boards of the Butler County Historical Society (ten of her fifteen years as secretary), the Lane Public Library, and the Fairfield Chamber of Commerce (especially its Beautification Committee), on the Fairfield Planning Commission, as the first chairman of the Recreation Commission, and was an active campaigner for the YMCA building drive. She was instrumental in the development of Governor Bebb Park in western Butler County as part of the Butler County Park Restoration Committee. She took pride in arranging the Nativity scene in front of the city building. Although she remained a farmer at heart, she understood the march of suburbanization, though urged caution and thoughtful progress. Beginning in the early 1970s, she sold parts of her 151-acre farm for Mercy Hospital’s campus (once an apple orchard), an insurance office complex, office and professional offices, and portions of an apartment complex. As the president of the planning commission she overruled objections and banged the gavel that gave the green light to a zoning variance that allowed a permanent fruit stand on Ohio 4, which would evolve into Jungle Jim’s Market, Fairfield’s premiere tourist attraction. “A constant vigil must be kept to see that we accept this growth as it comes to us,” she once said. “The birth of anything is painful, and we’ve had our growing pains.” Her interest in history came about as a young woman when caring for some of her elderly relatives. She would take a pen and paper with her visits to write down the stories they would tell. She went on to write the first history books on Fairfield and wrote many columns for the Journal-News and the Echo, which were gathered into a volume Historical Notes.
FOCUS
One of her major accomplishments came about as the archivist for both Butler County, a job she started in 1962, a massive undertaking to organize the “complete chaos” of 13 rooms piled high with cardboard boxes dating back to the county’s founding in 1803. She worked two days a week for over twenty years (1962 to 1974) organizing those records, and consequently encouraged Fairfield to adopt good archiving practices early on to avoid such problems in the future.
“I just love life and people,” she once said. “I have so much to do, I want to live two lifetimes.”
Esther was always very active on the social front as well, and there was hardly an organization in the city that she did not belong to or serve on a committee. She was famous for taking hot drinks and treats to city road crews in the winter or cold drinks to policemen and firemen on duty in emergencies. “I just love life and people,” she once said. “I have so much to do, I want to live two lifetimes.” Sadly, she did not, but her one life was a healthy and active 99 years. She passed away in her sleep June 16, 2002, without any apparent illnesses or deteriorating health other than a foot infection that had recently healed. In addition to the countless honors bestowed upon her in her life, such as Fairfield’s Citizen of the Year in 1972 or a county-wide Esther Benzing Day in 1974, the Fairfield Community Foundation posthumously chose Esther Benzing as the premiere honoree on its “Tribute Wall” at the Fairfield Community Arts Center in 2005.

Local High School Students Win Big at the Samsung Solve For Tomorrow Contest By Laura Leavitt
M
any students have impressive strengths, be it a passion for history or unbeatable track and field skills. However, a group of Fairfield Senior High School students had to pull together skills from their entire school careers in order to manage their recent major win of a national competition. “While I’m involved with the juniors and seniors for this project, it’s really a culmination of their K-12
18

education,” says Kurt Etter, AP Physics teacher at Fairfield Senior High. “There are so many people in the community, mentors along the way, who get to see them on a national stage. It’s pretty remarkable.” The excitement began when juniors last year competed in Samsung’s Solve For Tomorrow education contest. Those juniors made it to the national finals, an amazing achievement. After, the students understood the contest well enough to come back as seniors, ready to shine. This education contest involves creating an invention to solve a problem using STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) skills, but the process also incorporates elements of the humanities. The teams must write well in their applications, express themselves clearly in a verbal pitch of their ideas, and answer questions on the spot in conversation. “Coming into this year, we had 3 or 4 seniors who had participated last year,” explains Etter. “They started thinking over the summer because they were excited about the program.” The team decided to address a problem that is heartbreakingly common: in a moment of distraction, a parent or guardian walks away from a car while an infant is still strapped into the car seat. They wanted to create a phone application that helped to prevent this possibility. “The big assumption was that most people take their cell phones with them every day,” says Etter. “They constructed a button that would sense whether the child was still in the seat, and they used Bluetooth and Arduino to create a phone app.” The application sends a notification to the guardian’s phone if two conditions are met: the button in the child’s car seat is still pressed down, and the parent’s cell phone is physically more than 20 feet away. Etter has seen many projects in this challenge before, so he has an idea of what gave the team the

staying power to proceed to state finals, win, and proceed to nationals, where they were one of three national winners in 2020. “It’s a neat, clean application that solves a problem,” says Etter. “Samsung had them write, talk about the plan, and make a video that showed the problem and our solution. They did a great job telling the story.” Seniors Megan Barth, Jack Cowan, and Haley Durbin led the team, pitching the final project and demonstrating for the juniors on the team how to successfully navigate the contest. “They didn’t have to do this for a class, and there was a lot of leadership on the student side to see this through,” says Etter. The prize is substantial: $100,000 to invest in new STEM technology for the school. It will go a long way in getting students set up for further STEM education in Fairfield. “This national recognition is a very big deal for our district,” says Gina Gentry-Fletcher, school and community relations director. “It speaks volumes about STEM-related courses that we offer and the teacher leaders who are engaging students with these kinds of opportunities.” Etter mentioned that many of the seniors graduating after this win will be going on to pursue STEM-related higher education, which positions them well in the job market in the future. “This project is a great representation of the experiential coursework that our students are doing, where a real-world problem is confronted and through their ingenuity, problem-solving skills, and teamwork, they come up with real-world solutions,” says Bill Rice, Principal of Fairfield Senior High. “The thing I am most excited about is that the skills they have used to create these solutions are transferrable to any avenue they choose to travel in their future.”

Spend the afternoon outside in one of Fairfield’s great picnic spots By Laura Leavitt
S
ummertime is always a great opportunity to spend more time outdoors in Fairfield. A picnic is a great chance to enjoy all that Fairfield has to offer while also chatting with friends and family in a safe environment. You can spread picnic blankets out or take advantage of outdoor picnic tables that are situated all over the city. Here are a few of our favorite spots to dine al fresco in Fairfield.
Gilbert Farms Park After a Jungle Jim’s Run:
Harbin Park for Great Views During Your Picnic:
Marsh Park For Fishing Before a Picnic:
With its slightly elevated area, Harbin Park includes a wide range of walking trails, open fields, shelters, and picnic tables. After or before you have your lunch, try your hand at the 18-hole disc golf course, or relax and enjoy the view of Fairfield from high up. This is a particularly nice place to go for a morning breakfast picnic or an evening dinner picnic, since sunrise and sunset from the overlook are particularly spectacular!
This park is a perfect jaunt from Jungle Jim’s Market, where you can assemble an interesting picnic with foods from all around the world. Learn a little history from the information on the Elisha Morgan Mansion at the center of Gilbert Farms Park. There are also plenty of picnic tables, a walking path, and a soccer field for playing after or before a picnic.
This simple park is mostly a well-stocked fishing lake, but with a long paved path around it that is perfect for walking or a quick bike ride. Find a spot near the water, set up your rod and reel, and enjoy your meal until the line starts to pull a bit. Rules are posted at the parking lot regarding hand-powered boating, life jackets, and fishing rules, so make sure to keep an eye out.
A few last picnic time tips: ∙
Bring more napkins than you think you need! No one likes learning that your meal was unexpectedly messy after the fact.
∙
Packing more water is almost always a good idea, especially when pairing a picnic with a walk.
∙
Get kids involved in planning the picnic menu as a first step toward an interest in cooking, even if the meals aren’t that elaborate.
∙
Don’t forget a blanket if you are headed somewhere with limited table seating.
∙
It’s never a bad idea to bring along sanitizing wipes and some hand sanitizer for before and after eating.
Furfield Dog Park to Eat While Your Dog Plays: Is Fido just as ready to get out of the house as you are? Head over to Furfield Dog Park, where dogs can run around, socialize, and even hop in water to cool off. There are shaded areas for sitting and enjoying your lunch, though do so at your own risk if the park is pup-ular that day; Spot may try to sneak a taste!
Village Green Park for Walkable Takeout Options: Village Green Park has access to so many great resources: a picnic there can start with picking up takeout from one of the many restaurants near Village Green, and after you eat in the park you can walk next door to the Lane Public Library to pick up some excellent summer reading options.
Take pictures of your picnic day and post them on Fairfield Focus’ Facebook or Twitter page with the tag #fairfieldpicnicday.
