More villages could disappear in Clermont County in 2020 Scott Wartman

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Could Clermont County become the Bermuda Triangle of villages? Two villages disappeared from the map this year in this suburban and rural county just east of Cincinnati when the residents of Amelia and Newtonsville voted their villages out of existence. It made national headlines. The votes might be only a prelude to what happens in 2020 if six more villages follow suit. Some of the people who spearheaded the dissolution of Amelia and Newtonsville are coming after other villages in Clermont County they see as redundant. Union Township Republican Chris Hicks said he is in the process of assembling a political action committee that will organize petition eﬀ orts in six villages in Clermont County that have a 1% earnings tax. If successful, that would leave the tiny villages Neville, Moscow and Chilo, all with populations between 60 and 200, as the only remaining villages in the county. Villages, as deﬁ ned by state law, have a population of 5,000 or fewer. The cities of Milford and Loveland would remain, as cities can’t disband

under Ohio Revised Code. The goal is to put on the ballot in November 2020 the dissolution of these small towns, ranging in population from 185 to 2,700. They are: Batavia, Bethel, Felicity, New Richmond, Owensville and Williamsburg. “What I’m saying is, give the voters a choice,” Hicks said. “Every ﬁ ve or 10 years, voters should have an opportunity to say whether local government should operate as a free-standing entity.”

If the voters decided to disband all six, that would be unprecedented in Ohio. Since 2004, 14 villages voted to disband in Ohio counting the two in Clermont County in 2019. All but two were had populations of less than 500, with Amelia, population of 5,000 and on the verge of becoming a city, being the largest. The vote to dissolve in Amelia won with 68% of the vote. Hicks expects that will inspire more villages to dissolve. “When you see more than 60% of the

He has become a thorn in the side of local government in the county, fi ling lawsuits against elected offi cials he sees as fl outing the law.

Cincinnati Zoo penguins help with a wedding proposal Amanda Rossmann Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Brianna Kodack didn’t know that she was going to go behind-the-scenes with the penguins when her boyfriend, Shane Jones, took her to the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden on Monday, Dec. 30. That ended up being the least of the surprises he had in store. The couple – Jones is from New Richmond and is currently based in Virginia with the Navy while Kodack lives in Pennsylvania – got to go inside the penguin’s habitat with a meet and greet and then ventured to an exclusive VIPenguin room as "Buddy" the penguin painted them a picture.

On the backside of the canvas was a sign that read, "Will you marry me?,” which Kodack noticed as the two got their photo taken and Jones got down on one knee with the ring. “Oh my God, oh my God, yes!” Kodack said softly as she held her hand over her mouth in surprise. Wiping tears from her eyes, she ushered her boyfriend oﬀ of his knee and hugged him tight. “We both love animals, and my favorite animal is a bird and it’s wintertime, so, I ﬁ gured why not penguins?” said Jones. The couple, in town visiting Jones’ family for the holidays, met through friends and have been together for a little over a year. They get to see each other about once a month.

Funding lacking for retaining walls in need of repair Hannah K. Sparling Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

It’s a dingy concrete wall between Cummins Street in North Fairmount and Mill Creek down the hill. The top of the wall is crumbling in some spots, jagged and uneven. In other spots, weeds poke through the cracks. It’s not much to look at, but this retaining wall is high on a long list of city walls that need repairs. The tab for the Cummins Street project is about $3.7 million, according to city records, roughly $2.5 million of which is coming from a state grant. The project, which has been on the books for years, is expected to be bid out in summer 2020. This is the trade-off that comes with living among hills. The views are stunning, but the risk of landslides – and the cost to contain them with retaining walls – is immense. On the East Side, the problem is most obvious on Columbia Parkway, where traffi c lanes are blocked off and construction workers are in the middle of a $17 million repair. And on the West Side, westbound Elberon Avenue was closed for weeks while crews drilled eight feet into the bedrock to install a retaining wall that spans nearly 200 feet and cost about $600,000. But all across the Queen City, there are thousands of smaller, sometimes hidden retaining walls like the one on Cummins Street. Many of those walls COMMUNITY PRESS & RECORDER NEWSPAPERS ❚ 312 Elm Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202 ❚ 2116 Chamber Center Drive, Fort Mitchell, KY 41017 NEWS TIPS ........................................513-248-8600 HOME DELIVERY .............................513-576-8240 ADVERTISING...................................513-768-8404 CLASSIFIEDS ....................................513-242-4000

are on private property, where faults and slips can cause serious, expensive issues for homeowners. But the city is responsible for 1,743 retaining walls that cover nearly 60 miles. Of those city walls, 141– about 8% – are rated either “Poor” or “Critical.” “Poor” means the wall, or at least a chunk of it, is “marginally functioning” and needs repairs to prevent further deterioration, according to a 2016-17 report from the city, the latest available. “Critical” means the wall is “no longer functioning as intended, and is in danger of failing.” “Our lack of investment in infrastructure is catching up to us,” said Cincinnati City Councilman Greg Landsman, whose Major Projects & Smart Government committee often covers infrastructure issues. “This is a perfect storm, and it played out last year with Columbia Parkway. … That infrastructure crumbled in multiple locations.”

'A false sense of security' The landslides here are not the made-for-TV variety, a sudden rush of debris that cascades down a hill, sweeping up and destroying everything in its path. Instead, the slides in Greater Cincinnati tend to creep slowly, said Eric Russo, executive director of The Hillside Trust, a nonproﬁ t dedicated to protecting this region’s hills. A landslide might move only a few centimeters or a few inches a year, Russo said. Still, if not addressed early on, even a slow-moving slide can disrupt utilities, topple a building or uproot a road. "We get lulled into a false sense of security," Russo said. But "over time, we have to pay the bill that's due." But that bill is getting unmanageable, and the city is struggling to keep up. Year after year, the need is greater than what's available. Repairs are pushed down the road, and deferred maintenance mounts.

In the ﬁ scal year 2020 budget, the transportation department asked for $1.9 million to maintain the city’s retaining walls and deal with landslides, not including the massive Columbia Parkway project. But the department was only granted $743,000 – less than half the initial request. It's not ideal, said City Manager Patrick Duhaney, but the city has tight budgets all around.

He ﬁ led this month to run in the 2020 Republican primary against County Commissioner David Painter. Amelia resident Ed McCoy is also ready to help out. He led the petition to dissolve his village and is ready to help get rid of some more. Residents from New Richmond and Bethel have already contacted him, he said. “People talk about too many layers of government,” McCoy said. “A good place to start is to start at the bottom to get rid of these unnecessary levels of government.”

ment has to prioritize, doing only what is truly necessary. When emergencies arise, Duhaney said, situations that might put the public in danger, the city ﬁ nds a way to pay for repairs. With Columbia Parkway, that meant borrowing some money and taking the rest from a pot that had been set aside for a new police headquarters. With Elberon Avenue, it meant dipSee WALLS, Page 4A

What do the mayors think? Only one commented to The Enquirer, via email. And he wasn’t happy about it. Bethel Mayor Alan Ausman wanted to make a distinction. He’s a Republican. The people calling for the dissolution of villages aren’t, he said. “These individuals that advocate for the elimination of villages are not ‘Republicans’ but are anarchists that hate any form of government,” Ausman wrote. “To call those who advocate for the elimination of villages simply because they have an income tax is an insult and shows the ignorance of those who subscribe to such.” Ausman touted the services Bethel provides for the 1% tax, including police, ﬁ reﬁ ghters, water and garbage pickup. He pointed out that the dissolution of Amelia

Village residents hold mixed views Paul Vanderbosch sees value in the services New Richmond provides. He moved to New Richmond in 2004 and served on village council for 12 years, with his fi nal term ending in a few days on New Year’s Eve. He’s willing to pay a 1% income tax to support New Richmond’s police and fi re departments. But, as a longtime city offi cial, recognizes the struggles small towns face. The city government isn’t making enough money. The state has cut what it gives local governments. And property taxes don’t keep up with infl ation, he said. He’s undecided on whether New Richmond should dissolve. But he thinks it may be inevitable. “There’s not enough money to go around to do all the things people want the government to do,” Vanderbosch said. “The handwriting is on the wall.”

hasn’t gone as planned. The village’s 1% earnings tax that sparked the ire of residents and led to the dissolution will remain on the books until the village’s debt of $3.7 million is paid oﬀ . A spokesperson for Ohio Auditor Keith Faber, who made the ruling to keep the tax on to pay the debt, couldn’t say how long that will take.

Based on an Enquirer analysis of election data, here’s a list of towns that have dissolved in the past 15 years: ❚ Kimbolton, Guernsey County, 2004. ❚ Lawrenceville, Clark County, 2005. ❚ Alvordton, Williams County, 2007. ❚ St. Martin, Brown County, 2011. ❚ Fort Shawnee, Allen County, 2012. ❚ Uniopolis, Auglaize County, 2013. ❚ Orient, Pickaway County, 2013. ❚ Cherry Fork, Adams County, 2014. ❚ Salesville, Guernsey County, 2015. ❚ Somerville, Butler County, 2016. ❚ Brady Lake, Portage County, 2017. ❚ Limaville, Stark County, 2018. ❚ Amelia, Clermont County, 2019. ❚ Newtownsville, Clermont County, 2019.

ping into the city's general fund and moving money from a separate capital improvement account. For Cummins Street, it meant a special line item in the general capital fund. “Why don’t we give the whole $1.85 million for this?” Duhaney asked, referring to the budget request for landslides and retaining walls. “Well, where do we take it from? Do we take it from pedestrian safety? Do we take it from the bridge program? Do we take it from the roads program? "The city is to a place where we can't be proactive. We don't have the money." City oﬃ cials stress that Cincinnatians are not driving around on unstable roads, in danger of sliding into the river at any minute. The city inspects all of its retaining walls on a six-year cycle, said Department of Transportation and Engi-

neering Director John Brazina, but those walls rated poor or critical are inspected annually. And even if a wall failed, it would just be a portion, Brazina said, not the whole thing. It might dump some debris on the road, potentially shutting it down for a couple days or weeks, but it would be more inconvenient and expensive than dangerous. “It’s not like 500 feet of wall is going to collapse,” Brazina said. “Most of the walls are in good, fair condition, so overall, I think we’re doing pretty well.”

The problem is getting worse Cincinnati has always dealt with landslides, an unavoidable side-eﬀ ect of such hilly terrain. But the situation is getting worse. For starters, it’s raining more, and more rain means more landslides. Then, the issue is further compounded by rising construction costs. So, ﬁ xing the same prob-

lems we’ve been ﬁ xing for decades is costing more and more each year. Duhaney, the city manager, points to the cost to pave roads as an example. Five years ago, the city could pave one lane mile for about $150,000, he said. Today, thanks to material cost and wage increases, that same job costs about $300,000. “Every year, the cost to do this business goes up,” Duhaney said. And the problem extends way past retaining walls and landslides. Cincinnati’s transportation infrastructure in general is facing mounting deﬁ cits due to a lack of funding. According to the city’s 2020 budget, the need for transportation infrastructure is $52.1 million. The money available is $28.9 million, leaving a $23.2 million gap. By 2025, if the city carries on as-is, that gap will balloon to $156.5 million. Councilman Landsman points to Cincinnati Metro’s upcoming sales tax levy, which would net $30 million a year for road and bridge projects throughout the county, as part of the solution. But since that money has to cover the entire county and is earmarked for corridors used by buses, it’s not the whole solution. “We’re ultimately going to need new revenue,” Landsman said. “And it can’t be new property taxes; they’re too high.”

Rita’s favorite, essential kitchen gadgets Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

I’ve been getting this question asked a lot lately, so I think it’s a good topic to address. Yes, it’s about food. Well, in a roundabout way. Gadgets! I’ve done my research in the most practical way: cooking. A lot of my favorite essential kitchen gadgets are “off the grid” items – except for the digital thermometer, no electric or battery power involved. Some even multi-task. Here’s a baker’s dozen of my tried and true gadgets (that means you get 13 instead of 12), in alphabetical order. Adjustable steamers 2 choices: metal and silicone. Metal steamers fi ts any size pan and open like a fl ower. Silicone steamers are microwavable and fi t any size pan, too. Both have feet. Neither takes up much room, as metal steamers store fl at and silicones can be rolled up. Bench scraper I like a stainless steel scraper. It chops, scoops up and scrapes dough and fl our off counter. Box grater Tight on space? Takes the place of several microplanes. Zest citrus, make Parmesan curls, even grate chocolate on this multi-purpose gadget. Cookie/ice cream scoops Indispensable for measuring muffi n and cupcake batter. And scooping out even amounts of dough. My large one scoops out mashed potatoes or rice. My smaller one digs cores out of apples and pear halves. Hand turned pepper mill I wouldn’t trade my adjustable grind mill for any electric one. Nothing like the aroma of freshly ground pepper. High quality scissors

Some of Rita’s favorite and essential kitchen gadgets. RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE ENQUIRER

Joyce Chen scissors can go from garden to kitchen. Both right and left handed with ﬂ exible, dish-washer safe handles. Easily cut through the back of a chicken. Also super for cutting delicate herbs. Instant read meat thermometers Insert digital instant read thermometers about 1/4” in. Standard instant reads have to be inserted up to 2” – up to the little dimple on the side of the stem. Both register temperature pretty quick. Can be used to measure temperature of casseroles, etc. Manual can opener I don’t like electric can openers. They’re hard to keep clean. My manual one is rinsed and dried – only takes a few seconds – every time I use it. Peelers The French wide blade peeler sometimes called “Y” peeler due to its shape is my go-to. Peels a wide area. Available in ceramic or carbon steel blades. Peelers with carbon steel blades (my fave)

should be washed and dried immediately to prevent rust. Potato masher Included in my ﬁ rst kitchen utensil set. It still can mash avocados for great guacamole. It does a thorough job of breaking up meat in the skillet and, oh yeah – mashing potatoes! Sieves/colanders Sieves for smooshing and draining; colanders for pasta, potatoes, etc. Spatulas/spoons Heat- and stain-resistant spoonshaped silicone spatulas with removable handles for easy washing garner high marks with me. Use wooden spoons for stirring long cooking sauces since they don’t conduct heat like metal spoons. Tongs Tongs with silicone edges and narrow “grips” are my choice. Juice lemons and limes with tongs. Cut in half and squeeze. Check out my site for more “must haves.”

A quality peeler peels only the skin and not the flesh.

SCHOOL NEWS Saint Ursula Academy supports local agencies Saint Ursula Academy continues its tradition of service each year by supporting social service agencies in a variety of ways. Recently, SUA students collected Personal Care items to support local agencies in their ministry to the poor. The Personal Care Drive theme this year was Think-her, with an emphasis on the needs of women. The drive supported two local non-proﬁ ts: Hope Emergency Program in Brown County, OH and Women of Alabaster street ministry in Cincinnati. Students donated NEW personal care products requested by the agencies, like toothpaste, feminine hygiene products, soap, deodorant, socks, and more. Students simply placed donations in the collection bins in SUA’s Keller Student Center. Then a group of students delivered the collections to the agencies. The multi-week drive ended with 47 bags/boxes of personal care items and $600 in cash to donate. SUA is grateful to all of the students, faculty, staﬀ , family and friends who donated to Saint Ursula Academy’s annual Personal Care Drive. Special thanks to the Personal Care Drive student leaders: Megan Balda, Audrey Kirwin, Linsey Klug, Izzy Mitchell and Liz Summers for their creativity and energy. Jill Cahill, Saint Ursula Academy

It was a rainy day in Seattle when Summit Country Day School juniors paused for a snapshot outside the Pike Place Market in Seattle while attending the Student Diversity Leadership Conference Dec. 4. PROVIDED

School attended the People of Color and Student Diversity Leadership conferences Dec. 4-7 in Seattle, Wa. “Attendance at the conference supports the school’s commitment to equity and inclusion by providing high quality professional development specifi c to diversity in independent schools,” said Kirstin Pesola McEachern, Assistant Head of School for Academic Aff airs and Diversity and Inclusion Coordinator. “Students attending the conference bring back information and activities to run their own diversity conference for other schools in the area who do not have the opportunity to attend NAIS’s conference.” Putting to use what they learned in Seattle, Summit students will host their conference – SCD2 (Squared) a Conference on Diversity on March 19. The school is inviting seven students from each of eight diff erent high schools in Greater Cincinnati to attend. More than 7,000 adults and students in independent schools across the country attended the Seattle conferences in December which are sponsored by the National Association of Independent Schools.

Sports Top Southwest Ohio preps storylines of the decade Melanie Laughman and Luke Feliciano Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

If there’s one thing Cincinnatians are passionate about, it’s high school sports; they love to reminisce. The Cincinnati Enquirer asked readers what the top storylines were for Southwest Ohio from 2010-2019 and here’s what they said: La Salle football’s rise to prominence - La Salle won four of the state’s 10 Division II football championships in 2014, 2015, 2016 and most recently in 2019. The Lancers’ rise to football prominence began this decade as the program captured its fi rst state title in 2014. Colerain football’s run - Colerain won 10 straight GMC titles between 2010-19 while compiling a 112-18 record. All but one of those seasons (2014) saw double-digit win totals and the 2010s included eight seasons in which the Cardinals won 11 games or more in a season. Southwest Ohio soccer dominance Every year but one of this decade has had at least one Southwest Ohio state champion in girls soccer. The 2017 season saw Cincinnati teams take state titles in every division - Todd Kelly’s Loveland in Division I, 2018 National Coach of the Year Amy Dunlap’s Indian Hill in DII and 2019 National Coach of the Year Theresa Hirschauer’s Cincinnati Country Day in DIII. Other titles: 2010 - Madeira (DII, Dan Brady); 2011 - Summit Country Day (DIII, Mike Fee); 2012 and 2013 - Badin (Todd Berkely, DIII); 2014 - McNicholas (DII, Ben Kirkpatrick) and Badin (DIII); 2015 Summit Country Day (DIII); 2018 - Indian Hill (DII) and CCD (DIII); and 2019 Lakota West, (DI, Brigit Reder) and CCD (DIII). In that one season without a champion, Springboro and CCD were semifi nalists. Mason girls went to three straight state fi nals, 2012-2014. During that span, Cincinnati can boast three Ohio girls Gatorade Players of the Year over fi ve years: 2009-2010, Elizabeth Burchenal, St. Ursula; 20142015 & 2015-2016, Malia Berkely, Badin; 2017-2018 & 2018-2019, Anna Podojil, Indian Hill. And, they had three boys in Brennan Callow, Seven Hills (2018-2019); Jack Clark, Mason (2013-2014); and Sam Bascom, Madeira (2012-2013) For the boys, Summit Country Day has had six state championships, fi ve in Division III (2012 and 2013 under Barnard Baker, 2015-2018 under Scott Sievering) and one in Division II (2018, Sievering). Mason won a Division I title under Paul Reedy in 2013, Moeller reached the state fi nal in 2018 and Lakota East made the DI state fi nal four in 2019. Flowing from this bounty has been Cincinnati sweetheart Rose Lavelle, who starred at Wisconsin before being drafted No. 1 in the National Women’s Soccer League and eventually becoming an international star with the U.S. Women’s National Team when they won the World Cup. There’s even more talent where this came from, including 2019 Ohio Ms. Soccer Kailyn Dudukovich. Cincinnati Development Academy and the Cincinnati club soccer scene (Cincinnati United, Ohio Elite, Kings Hammer, TFA, Fairfi eld Optimist Soccer Club, among others) have been infl uential in producing many of these local talents. St. Xavier’s improbable state title After going 5-5 in the regular season, St. Xavier High School football, led by now

She’s a pro - Princeton’s Kelsey Mitchell became a star at Ohio State, garnering three Big Ten Player of the Year awards and being named an All American four times. She was taken by the Indiana Fever with the second overall pick in the 2018 WNBA Draft. As a senior at Princeton, she was a 2014 McDonald’s, Parade and WBCA All-American. In the same year, she was named Ohio’s Ms. Basketball and the Division I Player of the Year and the Ohio Gatorade Player of the Year while averaging 26.1 points, 4.4 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 3.9 steals per game as a key member of the Vikings’ state title team.

During his senior season at Princeton, he averaged 15.4 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2 blocks and 3.9 assists per game and was named the GMC Player of the Year in addition to First Team Division I All-State honors. His path to the NBA was not conventional, as he didn’t play college ball and went straight to the NBA G League. Our Olympian - Rachael Adams, an MND volleyball alum and former Texas player, was a bronze medalist for the United States as a middle blocker on the women’s volleyball team at the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio. She also was on the roster on the 2014 and 2018

FIVB World Championship teams. It was a good stretch for Moeller Behind Tim Held’s coaching, Moeller baseball reached 4 straight fi nal fours from 2012-2015 with titles in ‘12, ‘13 and ‘15. Two of those years saw the Crusaders win more than 30 games. What’s more, the football team had back-to-back state Division I championships in 2012 and 2013 after beating Toledo Whitmer and Mentor respectively under John Rodenberg. The basketball team had back-toback Division I state championships in 2018 and 2019 for Carl Kremer. On the 2018 team were New Orleans Pelican rookie star Jaxson Hayes, West Virginia rising star Miles McBride and University of Cincinnati’s Jeremiah Davenport. Hayes was selected eighth overall by the Pelicans in the 2019 NBA Draft out of Texas. West Clermont’s fi rst state champion - Glen Este and Amelia merged into one high school in August 2017, when the Trojans/Barons became the Wolves. The school’s fi rst state champion came in diving board dynamo, Morgan Southall. She owns the Southwest District record, Eastern Cincinnati Conference diving record, and the Southwest Classic Finals meet record. She only lost one meet her senior year by placing second to a former state champ before winning the 1-meter diving state championship in 2019. Snow bowl - Loveland’s 2013 football team, who fi nished the season with an undefeated 15-0 record, won its fi rst state title in the snow against Cleveland Glenville when Luke Waddell was a freshman and Nate Slagle was team’s top

running back. Playing without Slagle, the Tigers still won the championship. Waddell was named to the MaxPreps 2013 Freshman All-American SecondTeam and ran for 175 yards and a touchdown in the Division II state title game. GGCL volleyball dominance - Mount Notre Dame and Ursuline were mainstays in the Ohio volleyball scene over the decade. Ursuline won Division I state championships in back-to-back years (2017 and 2018) before Mount Notre Dame defeated the Lions in the regional ﬁ nal this season to advance to the state Final Four. Ursuline and MND dominated the GGCL. The Lions won the conference six times in the decade: 2010 (Scarlet Division), 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. MND won in 2011 (Scarlet Division), 2012 (Scarlet Division), 2014, 2019. Benny baseball - Andrew Benintendi a 2013 Madeira graduate, played college baseball at Arkansas, where he won the award for SEC Player of the Year in 2015. In 2018, he was part of the World Series Champion Boston Red Sox. As a senior at Madeira, Benintendi hit for a .564 batting average with 12 home runs and 57 RBIs and was the Rawlings National High School Player of the Year and the Ohio Gatorade Baseball Player of the Year. Ladies with wheels - Princeton’s Claudia Saunders, who went on to run at Stanford, was a ﬁ ve-time All-American. She won three state championships during her high school running career – 100 See DECADE , Page 2B

ville lacrosse player whose heart stopped in the middle of a game. The injured player, Grant Mays, was struck in the chest defending a shot. He picked up a ground ball and ran downfi eld before collapsing. Lindsey, who was monitoring both Moeller’s lacrosse game and the school’s rugby game on the adjacent fi eld, helped save Mays’ life. With the help of an emergency medical technician and a doctor from the crowd, an intern and trainer, Mays was stabilized with the use of an AED device. Saving grace - Williamsburg wrestler Brian Stears won the 2017 Division III heavyweight state championship after going 36-0 and earned a full scholarship to Bellarmine University. He began wrestling as a freshman and credited the sport, his coaches and a few others for getting him on the right path and steering him away from a bad life that surely would’ve resulted in a much diff erent future than the one he is likely to have now. Taylor wrestler Nate Marmol had a similar experience. He excelled on the wrestling mat in 2015, after overcoming homelessness and other challenges in his youth. Best boys track team in the decade - The 2011 LaSalle track and fi eld state championship is the only boys Division I track and fi eld state team title from Cincinnati in the 21st century. The Lancers boys track team was the only Cincinnati boys big school division program to win the team title (1994 and 2011) since Courter Tech in 1954.

hurdles as a sophomore, indoor 60 hurdles and the cross country title her senior year. Glen Este’s Michelle Thomas was the 2010 Gatorade Ohio Cross Country Runner of the Year. As a track runner in high school, she won the Division I state championship individual championship in the 3,200-meter run in both her junior and senior years. Wyoming streaks - In two diff erent sports – football and volleyball – the Cowboys had some impressive streaks during the last decade. The volleyball team closed the 2019 season with 140 straight Cincinnati Hills League wins. The program won 10 consecutive CHL titles (2010-19) without dropping a single conference match. The football team won the Division IV State Championship in 2018, the program’s fi rst since 1977. The Cowboys also put together a 28-game winning streak between the 2018 and 2019 seasons. Mr. Football returns to Cincinnati - Wyoming senior quarterback Evan Prater, a Cincinnati commit, was named Ohio’s Mr. Football in 2019. The achievement marked the fi rst time a player from Greater Cincinnati earned the hardware since Norwood’s Marc Edwards brought home the hardware in 1992. Tennis pros - The Cincinnati area produced a couple of local tennis professionals in this decade including, J.J. Wolf (Cincinnati Country Day), Caty McNally (Madeira) and John McNally (Madeira). Wolf a First-team All-Big Ten member in 2017, 2018 and 2019 at Ohio State was also named the 2019 Big Ten Player of the Year. He was teammates with John McNally, who was also a First Team All-Big Ten player in 2018 and 2019. Caty McNally turned pro in 2017. The doctor is In - Dr. Scott Rogers came back to Mount Notre Dame basketball program to aid the Cougars’ basketball program. The team has claimed the top spot in Division I two of the last three years including its most recent 2019 state championship. MND holds seven career state titles, which ties the program for the most in Ohio High School Athletic Association history. Touching moment - 2018 Batavia boys basketball player Nate Watson, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma just prior to the start of the 2018-2019 basketball season, played through cancer treatments as a senior captain. The Batavia community showed its support by hosting a “Win for Watson Night” to help defray the cost of the family’s medical expenses and to rally behind all those fi ghting various forms of cancer. It takes a village - Dana Gendreau, the mother of a

Quick hits

Kings High School football player, noticed that players on the Hughes High School football team weren’t getting enough to eat. With the help of roughly 40 families, Gendreau organized deliveries to provide the team with healthy meals each week. Two tragic events struck the Cincinnati sports community in less than a year. In November 2013, Mt. Healthy football player Vince Turnage was fatally shot during a home invasion. In September 2014, Little Miami senior captain Brayden Thornbury died after being involved in a car accident. After being the benefi ciary of several acts of kindness – most notably a fi nancial donation from Loveland High School – Mt. Healthy head football coach, Arvie Crouch, paid it forward. He supported the Little Miami cause by purchasing Play Like Bray t-shirts, which the team donned in its pregame warmups. Saving lives - Reading athletic trainer Susan Blackson helped resuscitate 56-year-old Jerry Overbeck, the program’s boys basketball coach, after he suff ered a heart attack in the locker room following the Indian Hill at Reading varsity boys’ basketball game the night of Dec. 2, 2016.

The George Rooks Range for archery now open for guests Ole Fisherman George Rooks Guest columnist

Howdy folks, Hope you had an extra good Christmas. By golly I did! I had all my grandchildren and great grandchildren with me and boy that was special. I have two great grand boys and four great grand girls – it doesn’t get any better than that. I went to my daughters and son-inlaw‘s house on Christmas Day. I got a hug from all of them. A hug from these kids is the best of hugs. One of my great granddaughters is named after Ruth Ann’s maiden name – Mattox. That is special. I am going to do some reminiscing about a restaurant in Bethel – The Blue Haven. I don’t know how many of you folks ever ate there but it was a special place to eat. The Bethel Lion’s Club met there for several years. A young lady and her husband ran the restaurant. The gal was Linda and her husband was Tom. Now I heard a story I will write about. A man and wife were traveling from another state through Bethel. It was about noon and all the restaurants were closed for the holiday. They saw that the Blue Haven was open.

She said, “No, but sit down and get some dinner.” She was having a special meal for some folks so the people ate and when they were done asked how much they owed. Linda said, “You don’t owe any-

COMMUNITY NEWS Anderson is a WeTHRIVE! community Hamilton County Public Health honored Anderson Township at the annual WeTHRIVE! Recognition Event in December. The township has been a WeTHRIVE! community for ﬁ ve years. In 2019, Anderson restructured its WeTHRIVE! team by recruiting 25 community members to serve on subcommittees focused on WeTHRIVE!’s environmental health, injury prevention, and social health pathways. Air quality is a priority and three locations in Anderson now have idle-free policies and signage. Walk to School Days were held at elementary schools in the Forest Hills district. The Anderson WeTHRIVE! team plans to work on installing electric vehicle charging stations, developing a community art plan, increasing community connections among residents, and pedestrian and bicycle safety. WeTHRIVE!’s mission is to create a culture of health, safety, and vitality throughout Hamilton County. Visit us at WatchUsThrive.org or ﬁ nd us on Facebook and Twitter (@WatchUsThrive).

thing.” That was Linda. She didn’t want anybody to leave hungry even if they couldn’t pay for the food. I wonder if her and Ruth Ann are serving food in heaven? Linda could make the best peanut butter pie and fried chicken. Only one person could come close and that was Ruth Ann. They are missed by all. Talked to the bait shop in Afton. The report was super about fi shing. Lots of crappie, hungry bass, channel catfi sh, stripers and other kinds of fi sh being caught. The bait shop was very busy last Saturday and on all the warm days. The park has put in an archery range back by the boat ramp on the hill before you get to the hill on the left side of the road. They named it “The George Rooks Range.” That is special. Thanks to the Park people. Talked to the Laurel United Methodist Church and they are having a Shown-Tell evening with a carry in supper. Gloria does a fi ne job of doing events for the church. The things folks bring to show are always interesting. I take something I have made to show so mark your calendar for Jan. 23 at 6:30 p.m. The cats are doing fi ne today. Chessie likes to sit on my lap as I write this article. Mr. Chester is laying on the register in the living room – what a joy. Oh I almost forgot. I hope you had a good new year and your family is healthy and happy. We are so fortunate to have good food, a warm place to live in as well as plenty of clothes. How fortunate we are! Start your week by going to the house of worship of your choice and praising the good Lord. God bless all... More later...

Hamilton County foster children get their Christmas wishes fulﬁ lled Teenage foster children of Cincinnati enjoyed a wonderful Christmas celebration on Dec. 19 at People’s Church in Corryville, gracious hosts of the event. Organizations and families throughout Greater Cincinnati generously donated gifts, including the Where2Next Foundation, the congregation of Gaines United Methodist Church in Madisonville, and even by one family from as far away as Cleveland. The foster teens asked for everything from dishes,towels and bedding to tablets and restaurant gift cards. One donor even graciously added a few gifts for the dog of one of the children! Many of the children got every single item on their Wish List. One teen, Matthew, who recently moved into his own apartment in Hamilton County Job & Family Services’ independent living program, was thrilled with his PS4. His case managers were happy about that, too, because moving out on your own, even with help, can be lonely and diﬃ cult. He had little to do in his own place. Now, he can play on his game system.
