An upscale restaurant plans to open at a Clermont County site that has been an eyesore since Scallywag Tag East closed there three years ago. Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurant plans to tear down the building at 491 Ohio Pike and construct a new one, Union Township Trustee John McGraw said. Cooper’s Hawk restaurants serve contemporary American cuisine paired with wines made by the national chain based in Woodridge, Illinois. The restaurants off er Napa-style tasting rooms, Wine Clubs and shops that sell wine by the bottle, wine-related items and gourmet desserts. Private party rooms also are available.
‘More upscale options’ “I hear from residents all the time that they want more dining options, especially more sit down and more upscale options,” McGraw said. “So, we are excited to hear that Cooper’s Hawk is Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurant will tear down the old Skallywag Tag East building in Union Township and build a new restaurant there, a township trustee says.

locating in Union Township. The positive resident reaction has been overwhelming.” Because Ohio Pike is a state highway, Union Township is working with the Ohio Department of Transportation to make the optimal entrance to Cooper’s Hawk from Ohio Pike, also known as Beechmont Avenue in the area, McGraw said. “The township is acting quickly to assist them in their needs to make the site work better for traffi c,” McGraw said. “We can’t wait to bring them here.”

Are Milford High bathrooms closed to stop vaping? Jeanne Houck
Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Feb. 24. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates. Some Milford High School students say administrators are closing bathrooms to keep students from vaping in them, causing the young people discomfort and to be tardy to class. That is not the case, say administrators with the Milford Exempted Village School District. But there is agreement on this: Students at the high school in Miami Township are inhaling vapor from electronic cigarettes that heat nicotine, fl avorings and other chemicals. Vaping was scheduled to be discussed at Milford High School on Feb. 24, with high school and Mercy Health offi cials presenting a new school vaping intervention program launching soon.
Students at Milford High School and their parents were invited to the event in the auditorium of the school at 1 Eagles Way. The Feb. 24 program was scheduled before a Milford High School junior posted a petition on change.org Thursday, Feb. 20, calling for closed bathrooms to be reopened. News of the petition spread after her father, Keith Hayes of Miami Township, posted about it on The Enquirer’s Greater Cincinnati Politics Facebook page. Hayes told The Enquirer that his daughter has complained for years about closed bathrooms at Milford High School, but that she and her friends became incensed Feb. 20 when one of them had to walk a long distance to fi nd an open one when she was in need.
Petition: 'Open the bathrooms at Milford' Called, “Open the bathrooms at Milford”, the petition on change.org uses a
picture not taken at Milford High School that shows a sign announcing, “All Bathrooms closed with the exception of the Galleria and Cafeteria Bathrooms.” “Milford High School administrators are closing bathrooms in order to stop the vaping/smoking problem,” the petition reads. “This solution is a poor idea because a majority of students are trying to use the bathrooms for their intended purpose. “This causes long lines and keeps students from getting to class on time, counting them late, and making them miss classroom instruction.” Hayes said his daughter told him students continue to vape at Milford High School - particularly Juuls, a popular ecigarette brand shaped like a USB fl ash drive, and sometimes even in the classroom when the teacher isn’t looking. Some 120 people had signed the change.org petition as of late Friday afternoon (Feb. 21).
School district: We don't close bathrooms to prevent vaping But Wendy Planicka, director of communications for the Milford Exempted Village School District, said bathrooms are never closed at Milford High School to prevent students from vaping in them. “Vaping is a problem at our high school as it is across high schools everywhere, and we continuously take steps to educate our students about the dangers of using e-cigarettes,” she said. “We do not close restrooms unless there is a reason to, such as the fi xtures are broken or if vandalism has occurred or another type of a problem with equipment has occurred.” Planicka said there have been cases at Milford High School where bathrooms were closed due to issues with vandalism or the equipment. “Those bathrooms were closed while the issues were fi xed/cleaned, then they were promptly re-opened,” she said.

arraignment. His attorney, Scott Rubenstein, entered a not guilty plea on his behalf. Rubenstein said Blankenship is a lifetime resident of the area and has no criminal record. He has a home in Southgate. Nestor set bond for Blankenship at $1.5 million. Speaking to reporters afterwards, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters shed more light on how DNA led to charges against Blankenship. Investigators went through his trash and took a DNA sample from a bottle, Deters said. That DNA matched evidence from one of the Hamilton County victims, he said. Investigators used a genealogy website to identify Blankenship. "He's a very dangerous person," Deters said. "Our goal is to put him away forever."

Investigators also found 50 transactions from Kroger including cash withdraws totaling more than $4,000. The restitution amount covers the amount Badgley was accused of taking plus the cost of a special audit. “Internal controls and good checks and balances could have put a stop to many of the abuses we found in this case before it got to this point,” said Auditor Keth Faber in the release. “I commend the current fi scal offi cer, Sabrina Schnarrenberg, for quickly spotting these discrepancies when she took offi ce and alerting us to take a look at the books.” Residents in the 212-year-old village hit hard by the 1997 Ohio River fl ood rejected a proposal to disband in 2016 by a 19 to 11 vote margin.

An accused serial rapist who is charged in three attacks in Hamilton County dating back two decades is expected to be charged in Northern Kentucky with raping a fourth female, prosecutors said Monday, Feb. 24. After William Brian Blankenship was indicted earlier in February on multiple charges including rape and kidnapping, Hamilton County Assistant Prosecutor Mark Piepmeier said a Northern Kentucky woman contacted him. "She positively identifi es Mr. Blankeship as her rapist back in the year 2000," Piepmeier told Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Terry Nestor at an arraignment. Piepmeier said he expects Campbell County prosecutors to pursue charges against Blankenship in connection with that woman. Blankenship, a 55year-old resident of Southgate, Kentucky, also could face charges in Kenton County after prosecutors there connected his name to at least one prior investigation in that county. In Hamilton County, Blankenship is accused of breaking into three homes in the Mount Washington/Anderson
Township area from 1999-2001 and raping two girls and a woman. The fi rst incident occurred on July 25, 1999. Court documents say Blankenship broke into a woman’s apartment and raped her. In August 2001, prosecutors say he took a 10-year-old girl out of a pop-up trailer in her driveway where she was sleeping with friends and raped her. Blankenship also is accused of raping a 14year-old girl in her bedroom on Oct. 10, 2001, according to court documents. Investigators believe Blankenship has been living in the Greater Cincinnati area ever since the incidents in Mount Washington and Anderson Township, although no other rape cases in those neighborhoods have been connected to him. Blankenship didn't speak during the Feb. 24

Former village of Neville Clerk Lois Badgley has pleaded guilty to one count of theft in offi ce and tampering with records in court, according to an Ohio Auditor of State release. The Clermont County village is nestled along the Ohio River east of New Richmond. Clermont County Court of Common Pleas Judge Jerry McBridge sentenced the former offi cial on Friday, Feb. 21 to pay back $16,404 and serve fi ve years on probation. The 57-year-old was ordered to receive mental health counseling and maintain employment that does not involve any access to or oversight of money. Most of the money she was accused of taken was from cash withdraws on a debit card from Walmart and Kroger, according to the release. The restitution amount is equal to about $164 for every man, woman and child living in the village, which has a population of 100. Investigators turned up 140 unauthorized debit card transactions made between Jan. 1, 2018, and March 31, 2019. Of 80 debit card transactions at Walmart, 78 were cash withdraws totaling $7,080, according to the release.

Try mussels steamed in wine and herbs Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist
Mussels. What does that word mean to you? Expensive? Unfamiliar? Too diffi cult to cook? Mussels (or other bivalves, including clams) were not something I cooked early on in my food career. I hadn’t a clue as to how to store or cook mussels. And those little fuzzy beards hanging on? I couldn’t even go there! But I soldiered on, and found out that yes, mussels are easy and quick to cook – at home on the supper table or for entertaining. Fresh seafood is often a good buy during Lent. Here’s tips if you’re a mussel newbie. The main thing to remember about mussels is that they are alive. Raw, their shells should be closed. Cooked, they should be open. Details below. And, of course, a yummy recipe.
Mussels 101 1. Fresh mussels are alive and have closed shells. Remove from package. Place in bowl, cover completely with moist kitchen towel, and refrigerate up to a day or bit later. Dampen towel if it dries out.(They need air so don’t cover with water or seal in plastic bag). 2. Mussels will be pretty clean from grit, but right before cooking, give them a quick rinse. Put mussels in colander. Pour cold water over, and shake to rinse. Scrape off dirt and check for beards – a furry little piece attached. Cut/tug out with knife. Most come debearded. 3. Important: Any mussel not closed, or which
Mussels steamed in wine and herbs. RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE ENQUIRER
doesn’t close with a good tap, should be tossed out. An open mussel prior to cooking is a dead mussel. Though this is a rare occurrence, it’s not something you should eat. 4. Cook mussels in an aromatic liquid. They cook through steaming.
5. Conversely, after cooking, mussels should open up. Take a spoon and stir it around in pan, which will open any mussels that need coaxing. Any that refuse to open should be discarded, but again, this is not a common occurrence. OK, now that you’ve got the basics, try this recipe.
Mussels steamed in wine and herbs Good with crusty bread to sop up juices, or on top of linguine. Ingredients 2 pounds cleaned mussels Olive oil Butter - a couple tablespoons 2 shallots, minced 2 tablespoons garlic, minced or to taste 1 generous cup dry white wine or more if needed
Garnish (optional but good):
heat to high. Stir to coat, add rest of garlic, and wine.
Parsley
Turn heat to simmer. Put lid on so mussels can steam. After 6 minutes or so, open lid, give mussels a stir and put lid back on.
Chopped tomatoes Romano/Parmesan cheese
Film bottom with oil. Add butter.
After a few more minutes, check to see if mussels are done. They’re cooked when they open up. Some will be wide open; others not so much. If there’s any unopened, give them another stir to nudge open. Discard any that still don’t open.
Add shallots and half the garlic. Cook a couple of minutes, don’t let garlic brown. Add mussels and turn
Season with salt and pepper, place in bowls with broth, and garnish.
Instructions Put large pot on medium heat.

SCHOOL NEWS Hawkins, Story receive Leading Lion Award The New Richmond Board of Education expressed its gratitude to Vernon Hawkins and Amy Story by presenting them with Leading Lion Awards. The two were nominated for the award by Superintendent Tracey Miller in recognition of their support of the New Richmond Exempted Village School District and their tireless volunteer eff orts in the levy campaign. Miller, who came to the district as the new superintendent at the beginning of the 2019-2020 school year, said that early on it became evident that the district would need to come forward to the community with a levy request. “I knew any chance of it passing would depend on quality leadership from people in the community,” he said. New to the district, he asked around trying to identify community leaders. The names of Mr. Hawkins and Mrs. Story came up. They accepted the task of co-chairing a levy committee despite the fact that there were no resources, no volunteers, no money and limited information since the last levy was in 1977, Superintendent Miller said. They have generously given of their time and talents for the benefi t of the students of New Richmond Schools and the community. For these reasons they are deserving of the Leading Lion Award, he said. Sheila Vilvens, New

New Richmond BOE approves more cuts Through a combination of budget reductions and revenue enhancements, the New Richmond Board of Education plans to save the district another $1.1 million. Cuts alone total $934,750 and include: Eight county aide positions, the elimination of the interoffi ce mail route, the reduction of one secondary and one elementary school teacher, a 10 percent reduction in fi eld trips, a 10 percent reduction in building and superintendent budgets, reduction of $15,600 in the Hamilton County Education Service Center contract, elimination of paper calendars and kindergarten T-Shirts, and a 75 percent reduction of custodial sub costs. Revenue enhancements, so far totaling an estimated $209,650, will come from: an increase of pay-to-play, $125 for middle school students, and $175 for high school students, a 10 percent increase in facility usage fee, and an increase in open enrollment caps to 24 students. The total for cuts and enhancements is $1,144,400. The Board approved the list of reductions/enhancements during its Feb. 18 meeting. To see a full listing of the reductions/enhancements view the pdf that’s
available on BoardDocs. https://go.boarddocs.com/oh/nrschools/ Board.nsf/fi les/ BLRRVJ6D46C9/$fi le/ Draft%20Budget%20Cuts.pdf These cuts/enhancements are in addition to the $3 million reductions approved and implemented by the Board for this school year (20192020). The reductions are intended to help off set the $8 million revenue loss caused by changes in power plants and public utility taxes, specifi cally the closure of Beckjord, sale of Zimmer, and deregulation. The reductions/enhancements alone can not make up the total annual revenue loss. For this reason, the Board is asking voters to consider a 9.4-mill operating levy on March 17. If approved, the levy would generate about $4.3 million annually to help fund daily school operations. This is the district’s fi rst operating levy since 1977. The requested millage includes 0.5-mill earmarked for three key areas (curriculum, safety/security, and technology) that respondents to a recent district survey identifi ed as ‘very important.’ Superintendent Tracey Miller reminded the Board that the district is in Fiscal Precaution, and the Ohio Department of Education requires the district to submit a plan for balancing the budget. The plan the New Richmond Schools will submit to the state includes the reduction of this additional $1 million in expenses and passage of the levy.

Sports Coach Ed Bachman’s Anderson Barracudas represent well at OHSAA State Swimming Since 1927, top high school swimmers from all corners of the state of Ohio have converged in Canton, Ohio for one weekend to swim with lightning speed and intense school spirit competing against their statewide high school swimming peers in what can only be described as “the Greatest Show on Earth.” The OHSAA State Swimming & Diving Championship is one of the largest and oldest in the country. High school hopefuls earn a spot to compete at the state meet through a play-off like series of Sectional and District-Wide meets. The top 24 male and female athletes represent their high school team in no more than two individual events and up to two relays. There is a total of 8 individual swimming events and 3 relays for each women and men. High schools are divided by population size into Division I and Division II. Once qualifi ers are set, all roads lead to Canton and the classic natatorium named for Coach C.T. Branin on the campus of Canton McKinley High School. Since the club’s inception in 1975, M. E. Lyons YMCA Anderson Barracuda swim team has proudly fostered amazing club swimmers who compete for their respective high school teams in this signature championship. Some of the all-time winningest Ohio high school champions have been Anderson Barracuda club swimmers, including 12-time state champion Dod Wales and 10-time state champion and eventual Olympian Jayme Cramer, who in 2001 set both 100 yard butterfl y and 100 yard breaststroke state records...in identical times of 47.65. 45 years later, the Barracudas continue to represent at the iconic meet! Head Coach and Director of Competitive Swimming, Ed Bachman along with Assistant Head Coach Nik Balmer and the entire team of Senior coaches have worked tirelessly to prepare their club swimmers to don their high school team caps and represent their academic institution’s swim team. This year Coach Ed and team proudly saw 18 swimmers qualify for both Division I and Division II State Championships. 12 swimmers advanced from the preliminary events to Finals in either individual or relay events. Of those who advanced to Finals, 5 stood on the podium and earned one or more State Championship Medals in individual, relay or a combination of events: Grace Hastings, Senior- Anderson High School – First Place, DI Women’s 200 yd Freestyle Second Place, DI Women’s 500 yd Freestyle Madeline Hart, Senior – Turpin High School – Seventh Place, DI Women’s 200 yd Freestyle Sixth Place, DI Women’s 100 yd Butterfl y Alex Craft, Junior – Walnut Hills High School – Fourth Place, DI Men’s 500 yd Freestyle Madeline Hart – Turpin High School – Eighth Place, DI Women’s 200 yd Free Relay Claire Studenka

Ed Bachman’s Anderson Barracudas are now poised to train through the fi nal weeks leading up
to the Southwest Ohio YMCA League Championships, YMCA Great Lakes Zone Championships and fi nally The YMCA National Championship in Greensboro, NC on March 30 through April 3. Swimming is an interesting sport, and one of a few sports in which athletes compete both individually and as a team in relays accumulating points for their team. The commitment of swimmers and their coaches in each season totals some 500 hours of training by the time Championships arrive. The dedication, emotion, and team support needed for success is unparalleled. No coaching team in the area understands this better than Coach Ed Bachman and his group of talented assistants. Bachman was the coaching genius behind the likes of Dod Wales and Jayme Cramer years ago and under his direction, the Anderson Barracudas continue to bring new generations of talent to Championships across the area. If you are interested in swimming, M.E. Lyons YMCA Anderson Barracudas has a place for you. From swim lessons and pre-competitive swim opportunities to competitive try-outs (available year-round, by appointment), we welcome age-group swimmers of all ages and skill levels. In addition to the physical fi tness of swimming, our team off ers many team activities that promote team spirit and embody our saying, “swim friends are the best friends”. If you are an adult who is interested in swimming, we have one of the most active Masters’ Swim teams in the area. Age nor swimming expertise should be a deterrent from joining in the excellent workout and fun that swimming provides Swimming is for everyone!

Anderson boys basketball coach Chris DeLotell is out Scott Springer
Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
After seven seasons, Anderson High School has elected not to renew the contract of head boys basketball coach Chris DeLotell. DeLotell informed player parents on Feb. 26 via email. In seven seasons leading the Redskins he was 59103. This past season, Anderson was 8-15 (5-9 Eastern Cincinnati Conference). His best season was 2016 when they fi nished 14-9 (7-7 ECC). The Redskins won just one postseason game during his tenure, in 2015 against Harrison. Athletic Director Chris Newton said it was strictly a basketball move. "We appreciate everything that Chris DeLotell has done for our basketball program," Newton said. "At this point in time, we don't think we're where we want our basketball program to be. To get there it was in the best interest of our program to make this change. We hope nothing but the best for Chris and his future in basketball." DeLotell previously served as an assistant under Greg Richards at Mason for fi ve seasons. He will remain at the school as a counselor. "I got to spend seven years with group after group of tremendous young men," DeLotell said. "The boys I've coached have made me a better father, a better coach, a better counselor and a better teacher. They've been the greatest companions a coach could ask for. That gift makes everything else that comes with the job worth it." No information on a successor has been released. Before DeLotell, Frank Brandy served as head coach at Anderson for 21 years. Recently, he had returned as an assistant. "We are going to talk with our people to fi nd the qualities and characteristics that we want to fi nd in a new head coach," Newton said. "When we feel we're ready to go out and put it (the job) out, we'll do that."
Anderson head coach Chris DeLotell hurriedly calls time out after Anderson ties the game to send it to overtime during the boys basketball game between the Loveland Tigers and the Anderson Redskins at Anderson High School February 9, 2018. JIM OWENS FOR THE ENQUIRER

Pick up a neighbor for a fi sh fry, or take them a meal Ole Fisherman George Rooks Guest columnist
Howdy folks, The weather is sure not being kind to us, but it could be a lot worse. I was thinking about the lake and how Ruth Ann and I would fi sh and we use the cleanings for fertilizer in the garden. I remember a couple of people that fi shed pretty regularly and one day as I was directing the boat traffi c, the lady asked me where they could catch some fi sh. I told her a spot where they could
catch plenty of fi sh. The next time I saw her I asked her what they do with the cleanings of the fi sh. She said they put them in the trash. I said no, you don’t do that. Use them for fertilizer. She was surprised. So, they raise fl owers for the fair and she won on every fl ower. Folks would ask her how she raised such fi ne fl owers but she wouldn’t tell them. I have seen where the Asian carp are starting to come to our area. I would like to have a few to put in the garden – they surely would make good fertilizer. They would be good to use instead of buying fertilizer for the garden. Ruth Ann’s cousin was telling me the
other day that she saw a large fl ock of wild turkeys near her house. She said there were probably 50 turkeys. I have sure seen a lot of deer in the fi elds as well as crossing the roads. Be sure to keep an eye open for all the wildlife we have in our area. The diff erent places that are having meals on Friday evening for Lent are sure doing a great job. I go to the St. Mary’s Church in Bethel. The folks sure know how to fi x a great meal. The meal is important, but you can visit with lots of folks that go there. If you have a neighbor that needs a ride to the meal take them or take a meal to their home for them. The good Lord
wants us to be a good steward and help folks. While you are there you will probably see some of your friends. Also, the Kitchen of Hope at the Living the Word Church in Bethel serves a good hot meal each Saturday from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Mr. Chester and Miss Chessie are doing fi ne. They both seem to like when the weather is a little warmer and drier so they can go outside. Start your week by going to the house of worship of your choice and praising the good Lord. God bless all... More later...

BY SOPHIA AND DAVID MAYMUDES / EDITED BY WILL SHORTZ Sophia Maymudes is a senior at Carleton College in Minnesota, studying computer science and math. This is her third crossword for The Times. Her father, David Maymudes, is a senior staff software engineer for Google in Seattle. After years of being Sophia’s test solver, he decided he wanted to construct, too. They write: “We presume there have been other father/daughter co-constructors, but we were wondering if there have been any others where the daughter was the one who introduced the father to constructing.” I can think of just one other father/daughter pair, from 1998. I believe this is the first one in which the daughter is the veteran puzzlemaker. — W.S.
