Martha Lunken, the 78-year-old student pilot Region’s fi rst lady of fl ying fl ew under bridge, lost license

Hannah K. Sparling Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Martha Lunken is looking up. No matter where she is, she’s always looking up. She’s done this her entire life. Because her entire life has been up there, above the clouds. And on the second to last day of March, when the skies are sunny and it’s almost 70 degrees, Martha interrupts whatever she is talking about to look up. Then, she explains what that plane does. Or where it’s going. Or what company uses it. Because Martha Lunken is a pilot; she has been for 61 years. This is her life. And when she dies, she won’t be buried next to her family, but on a hill overlooking the airport – the airport that bears her name. But what do you do when your passion, your reason for living, is taken away? What do you do when you’re looking up because you can’t fl y anymore? Martha, a 78-year-old who shares a birthday with Amelia Earhart, is still trying to fi gure that out. A little more than a month ago, the Federal Aviation Administration revoked Martha’s fl ying certifi cates because she fl ew under a bridge in Warren County. It’s a violation of aviation rules to fl y too close to any structure. She can reapply, as if she were a student, but not until December. After a lifetime of fl ying, more than 14,000 hours, she must retake a pilot test she last took in 1962. And she cannot fl y by herself until she passes. Martha is standing outside hangar 35 at Lunken Airport discussing her study materials, which include a set of 1,300 practice questions. Then, she looks out where Air Force One lands when the president visits. She may live nearby, but this is home. She learned to fl y over there, she says, pointing to a yellowed hangar that has been here since the ’50s. She taught a nun how to fl y over there, she says, pointing the other way. And on this March day, when she cannot fl y, a man tells her he is selling his plane. “Shame on you” are the fi rst words out of her mouth. Martha eventually tells the pilot to send her an email, be-

cause she might know someone who’s interested. Then, she looks up into the sky. “That’s the hauling plane I was telling you about,” she says. … Martha doesn’t remember how she fell in love with fl ying, but she does remember her dad slamming his fi sts on the dining room table. “That’s enough airplane talk,” she remembers him saying. She remembers forging her parents’ signature before her fi rst fl ying lesson, because she wasn’t old enough to do it without their permission. And she remembers men looking at her like she was from Mars when she walked into the hangar wearing church clothes. When she was younger, Martha used to take a bus downtown from Westwood and look up at Carew Tower. If the fl ag was still, she went fl ying. When she was 19, she moved to the east side of Cincinnati – just to be closer to the airport. After her fi rst solo fl ight, she was so excited she couldn’t help but sing. “In airplane circles, I’m a legend,” she told me the fi rst time we spoke. Somehow, this did not sound arrogant. It was almost like she was apologizing for what we would talk about next.

Last year, Martha fl ew under a bridge on Interstate 71. It’s the tallest bridge in Ohio, located in an area some pilots refer to as “Martha’s Vineyard,” because she often practiced nearby in Lebanon. She fl ew by the bridge on her way to Lunken Airport, spotting it over her shoulder. “God, I’ve got to do this,” she said out loud. “It was a whim,” she said later. More than that, it was an adventure. An adventure for a woman who hopes to never be too old for adventure. Martha turned around and fl ew under Jeremiah Morrow Bridge, a 239-foot-tall bridge she has a picture of at home. A drone camera from the Ohio Department of Transportation spotted her. A week later, she received a notice of investigation from the FAA, where she had worked for 28 years as a safety manager. Then, she didn’t hear anything for a year. Every time she opened the mail, she did so in fear. She placed a crucifi x in the mailbox. The results of the investigation eventually came in a brown box she thought was from Amazon: She could no longer fl y by herself. See LUNKEN, Page 2A

Two weeks before Cincinnati voters say yea or nay to Issue 3, offi cials at city hall are rolling out their own plan for aff ordable housing. Issue 3 is the highly controversial charter amendment that would require the city to devote at least $50 million a year to aff ordable housing. But on the afternoon of April 20, the city issued a news release promising to devote $35.5 million in public funding to support the development of aff ordable housing. The release says there will be a corresponding fundraising campaign to attract an additional $30 million in donations from private sources, for a total goal of $65.5 million. The bulk of the city’s portion of the money will come from a loan of up to $34 million from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The rest of the city’s commitment will come from the existing aff ordable housing trust fund and potentially money from the recent federal stimulus bill. This is completely separate from Issue 3, so voters could still approve that charter amendment on May 4, and one plan would not aff ect the other. It’s also important to note that Issue 3 is ongoing – at least $50 million a year, every year, with no end date. The city’s announcement is a onetime investment. Cincinnati City Manager Paula Boggs Muething could not be reached for comment, but Josh Spring, with the Issue 3 campaign, called the announcement a distraction and an attempt to get people to vote against the charter amendment. City hall is only putting it forward now because they’re “under the gun” See HOUSING, Page 2A

Cincinnati Children’s Hospital CEO departing Anne Saker and Terry DeMio Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, the region’s world-renowned pediatric care facility, now is looking for a new president on word on April 20 that Michael Fisher will step down from the job by the end of the year. Fisher, 61, is the longest-serving hospital leader in the Cincinnati area. His decision to leave was closely guarded until he told the Cincinnati Children’s board of trustees and its 16,500 workers in a video released in the afternoon. “I love Cincinnati Children’s and all that we do for kids and their families, our community and our employees,” he said in a statement. “While our work is never done, we are stronger than ever.” Mark Jahnke, chairman of the Cincinnati Children’s board of trustees, will open a national search to fi nd a successor with the fi rm Heidrick & Struggles assisting, a hospital statement said. “Michael’s commitment to the health, safety and well-being of kids in Cincinnati and beyond will continue to have a profound infl uence,” Jahnke said. “While navigating the changing and challenging medical and research landscape for over a decade, Michael has championed a vibrant and inclusive culture and built an extraordinary team of doctors, nurses, scientists, and other valued employees.” Fisher shepherded what will be the medical center’s largest expansion, a $550 million tower to serve patients with cancer, heart ailments and other complex conditions. Set to open in No-

with Issue 3, Spring said. “It certainly doesn’t mean that this loan isn’t a part of the solution, it doesn’t mean that seeking the loan is a bad thing,” Spring said. “It just means that a loan with interest that we may or may not be approved for – and just one time – is not going to make a big dent in the problem. “They’re attempting to distract people by saying, ‘Oh, we’re going to put some money into it.’ ” The money in the fund the city announced on April 20 will be used through a partnership with Cincinnati Development Fund, a nonprofi t lending institution. The money will create a loan fund to provide low-interest fi nancing for aff ordable housing development or rehabilitation. The city will also create a public board to establish priorities for the money. “This establishes a responsible funding policy; it does not sacrifi ce public safety or basic services,” the news release states. “The funding policy demonstrates the City’s commitment to addressing the decades-old issue of housing aff ordability by marshaling the resources of the entire city and region toward a solution.”

vember, the Avondale facility will feature a state-of-the-art emergency department. In addition, construction is to begin this year on a new inpatient mental health facility at the hospital’s College Hill campus. Through his tenure, Cincinnati Children’s was regularly ranked among the top three pediatric facilities in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. Just last month in interviews with The Enquirer, other local hospital leaders credited Fisher for bringing them together in an unprecedented eﬀ ort to get the community through the coronavirus pandemic. In 2018, Fisher was treated for cancer. He told The Enquirer last month he is in good health now.

Hospital spokesman Barrett J. Brunsman said Fisher would have no further comment on his decision to leave after 11 years. He took the job in January 2010. In his statement, Fisher said he is looking forward to more life ﬂ exibility, including helping his family in entrepreneurial and investment endeavors. Fisher is a former president of the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber, leading it from 2001 to 2006. Cincinnati Children’s is the region’s largest hospital and second-largest employer, a $2.6 billion nonproﬁ t with a workforce of 16,500. Last year, the hos-

pital tallied 1.38 million patient encounters with children from all 50 states and 51 countries. Plus, the hospital ranked second in the nation in pediatric research grants from the National Institutes of Health. Sponsored program awards increased to more than $240 million annually during Fisher’s tenure. Jahnke, a former CEO of the Katz Teller law ﬁ rm, said that Fisher’s leadership has positioned Cincinnati Children’s well. “He has helped us further elevate excellent and compassionate care, expand services, and increase ﬁ nancial strength – even amid a pandemic.”

Riverside Drive has reopened after repairs on January water main breaks Briana Rice Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The repairs on Riverside Drive in East End have come to an end. The extensive repairs were needed after 60” and 12” water main breaks occurred at 2471 and 2458 Riverside Drive at Lumber Street and Bayou Street in the East End on Jan. 2. On Feb. 20, another break occurred on the 60” main just east of the location of the January break. The breaks resulted in structure fl ooding and signifi cant roadway damage, according to Greater Cincinnati Water Works. Replacement and repair work have been ongoing since the break. The roadway offi cially reopened on April 20. These are the repairs: • Both breaks on the 60” main have been repaired. • The sanitary sewer and utility hole chambers have been repaired. • Backfi lling of the two pits and removal of shoring have been completed. • Installation of the 12” water main,

including ﬁ nal tie-in and taps to impacted properties, has been completed. • Duke has replaced the utility pole and re-energized the electric lines. • Gas service lines to aﬀ ected properties have been installed and on.

• Duke Energy has connected services to all aﬀ ected properties. • Spectrum has completed utility repairs and service connections to the properties.

Lunken Continued from Page 1A

… In 2009, Martha told this newspaper she drives to Lunken Airport and fi nds herself wondering where all the people went. At one time, The Enquirer had an aviation editor. And in 1930, Lunken was the busiest airport in the country. Martha can still remember times like that. She can remember the excitement of turning down the road to her hangar, which she called the “Road to Anywhere,” even if she wasn’t there to fl y. Because there was freedom here. There was passion. There was joy. On this day, those things are harder to fi nd. Martha is 5 feet, 4 inches tall. She steps up into her airplane, a 1956 Cessna 180, where there is a booster seat and a cushion in the pilot seat. In the backseat, she keeps a bag with a portable urinal, fl ashlights and water. Before she jumps down, out of the plane, Martha punches the inside of the door. “I’ll be back,” she says. Martha turns 79 this summer. The former safety manager doesn’t have kids and has been mostly single since her divorce from Ebby Lunken, whose family the airport was named after. They remained friends until he died, but she says their marriage began

to deteriorate after he lost interest in fl ying. Martha never fell out of love with fl ying. She walks around the airport today like a proud parent, showing it off and talking to anyone who will listen about plans she’s heard to remove runways. When asked about her new life without fl ying, she alternates between crushing metaphors and begrudging positivity.

“It’s like being disemboweled,” she says. “It takes your breath away.” “I’ll survive.” Back at home, Martha looks around. There is an old postcard of Lunken Airport, a fl ying certifi cate from the 1920s and a signed propellor. She looks out the window, and then she looks up. “It’d be a great day to fl y.”

Ohio will allow liquor delivery, drinking at airport terminals Jessie Balmert Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COLUMBUS – A new law allows Ohioans to have liquor delivered to their homes, but it could be a while before that option is available. House Bill 674, which took eﬀ ect April 12, allows Ohio Division of Liquor Control vendors to deliver liquor in the original container. But the Liquor Control superintendent must create rules on how that will work, then vendors need to accept those new rules. That process could take several months. Ohioans won't need to wait as long on other changes. The new law also allows travelers to consume alcohol in more areas of Ohio's airports – if the airports' governing bodies approve the change. Under the change, travelers can drink in terminals while awaiting a ﬂ ight instead of being restricted to restaurants only. John Glenn Columbus International Airport began allowing it on April 12. Another change allows charities, unions and employers to sell beer or

wine at a special event if they get a permit from the Division of Liquor Control. The new law also allows for the sale of mixed beverage "pods," a combination of liquor and mixers used to create cocktails. These options will be regulated like other mixed drinks. More hotly debated proposals – allowing alcohol sales until 4 a.m. on weekends or 24-hour sales if approved by voters – were stripped from the bill and never became law. Many of the changes in the law, sponsored by Rep. Brett Hillyer, R-Uhrichsville, and Rep. John Becker, RUnion Township in Clermont County, were intended to help restaurants and bars hurt by the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions instituted to reduce novel coronavirus spread. "This legislation is intended to create opportunities for establishments across the state of Ohio and to help keep their doors open in the wake of the impacts of COVID-19," said Sen. Frank Hoagland, R-Mingo Junction. The pandemic has eased other liquor laws, allowing Ohioans to order to-go cocktails permanently and allowing bars to expand outdoor spaces through 2022.

Ohioans will soon be able to get liquor delivered. ENQUIRER FILE

Farmers’ Almanac is calling for a ‘thundery,’ ‘muggy,’ ‘sweltering’ summer Sarah Brookbank Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Temperatures are on the rise in Greater Cincinnati, which begs the question: What kind of summer are we in store for? The 2021 Farmers’ Almanac's extended forecast found that summer could have a greater-than-average frequency of thunderstorms for a large portion of the country. "These summer rainstorms may be severe and spawn widespread tornadoes over the middle part of the country during June and July," the Almanac states. The Almanac's forecast also calls for above-normal for about two-thirds of the country, especially in the South and East. Greater Cincinnati is on the overlap of the "sweltering, thundery" and "muggy, thundery" zones for the summer. "While typically the hottest weather can be expected in late July or early Au-

gust, this year’s summer heat could peak in late August, into early September," the Almanac says. While summer thunderstorms are quite common, the number of storms predicted is a bit unusual. “There will be a greater-than-average frequency of thunderstorms for a large portion of the country,” states Almanac editor Peter Geiger. “Many of these storms could prove to be quite strong, particularly over the eastern third of the nation.”

NWS predictions for this summer are similar The National Weather Service AprilMay-June 2021 temperature outlook favors above-normal seasonal temperatures for nearly all the contiguous U.S. and above-normal seasonal total precipitation amounts for the Ohio Valley. "Moreover, above-normal temperatures are most likely for the entire forecast domain as we move into and through the summer months," the National Weather Service said.

Kenner’s ‘Star Wars’ packaging design iconic, collectible Jeff Suess Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

It is strange to be talking on Zoom to a guy in Sweden about companies in Cincinnati. Such is the extensive reach of “Star Wars” in our culture. Over the years, just about anything related to the “Star Wars” fi lm franchise is collectible. You name it: toys, comics, statues, movie props – even the original proof sheets of the packaging for the vintage action fi gures made by Cincinnati-based Kenner Products. Yes, really. The print proofs with register marks and edits scribbled on them for the designers and printers. They are highly collectible, and extremely rare. “When you collect for a long time, no matter what you collect, I think, you go for more obscure items, more rare items, and you want to learn more about everything,” said Matthias Rendahl, a collector from Helsingborg, Sweden. For each character, from Princess Leia to Walrus Man, there are original photo stills, airbrushed photoart, proof cards and Cromalins – those are color preprint proofs used to check the design. In most cases, only a few copies of these materials exist. Some are one of a kind. Rendahl has produced a series of books about these niche collectibles, including his latest release, “The Cromalin Strikes Back: Kenner Star Wars Packaging Design 1980-82,” co-written by Ben Sheehan. The books are part history, part collector’s guide, and off er a peek behind the scenes in the creative design process by shining a spotlight on the Cincinnati artists and designers who created the “Star Wars” branding for Kenner that still resonates more than 40 years later. Kenner was contracted to create toys for George Lucas’ blockbuster “Star Wars” fi lm in 1977. To design the packaging, the company turned to the Cincinnati fi rm Cato Johnson Associates Inc., which has become the global brand design agency LPK. Head designer Ray Perszyk was the art director who came up with the signature package design, a chrome logo, racetrack border and black starfi eld. “Black had never been used in the toy category until this line, and it visually exploded at the New York Toy fair and soon after in the toy stores,” Perszyk said in an interview in Rendahl’s fi rst book, “A New Proof.” “The black was recommended because of the obvious ‘outer space/galactic theme’ but also to create a huge black wall/block in a sea of bright colors at the toy retailers.” For those who grew up in the 1970s and ’80s, the sight of the chrome and black Kenner packaging brings a wave of nostalgia, of endless Saturdays on the fl oor re-enacting scenes with Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader on the couch cushions. Kenner produced “Star Wars” action fi gures from 1977 to 1985. Even though Hasbro closed Kenner in 2000, it continues to use the classic design on retrostyle packaging.

“I really appreciate the craftsmanship behind the old toys and packaging,” Rendahl said. Before computer design and Photoshop, every element had to be drawn by hand, airbrushed and photographed. “There are so many steps to go through. It was really good, artistic people working on it. And I wanted to have it documented,” Rendahl said. For the books, Persyzk shared his original sketches, notes and mock-ups as the design evolved, as well as a letter of praise from Kenner president Bernie Loomis: “The success of our Star Wars Line, Ray, is such that there is ample credit to go around but I do think it is proper to tell you and your associates at Cato Johnson that the packaging is at least as important as any other element in the success story.” Rendahl began collecting Kenner “Star Wars” package proofs in the 1990s. A designer and printer himself, he admits that he originally thought proofs were just part of the design process, ephemera that was tossed in the trash. But die-hard fans recognized the historic – and possibly the commercial – value and dug them out of the bins at the Kenner offi ces in the Kroger building Downtown. One Kenner staff member, Tom Neiheisel, was told to take what he wanted from discarded material in a storage warehouse on 12th Street in Over-the-Rhine. He loaded up his station wagon fi ve or six times, not even knowing what he was taking, merely to preserve

it for history. Now those discards are sought after as collectibles. “Some of the pieces are in the thousands of dollars,” said Sean Lehmkuhl, a Cincinnati collector who has a virtual museum of his “Star Wars” memorabilia with his brother, Ryan, at ToyHoarders.com. The brothers have amassed more than 7,000 unique “Star Wars” and Kenner collectibles, and have a handful of Cromalins and 60-70 proofs. Anything with the Kenner letterhead has a market, Lehmkuhl said, including internal company notes about the approval process. They prefer to buy items from the original owners, including employees of Kenner and local vendors, and hear the stories that come with them. “If it was easy to ﬁ nd, it wouldn’t be as desirable,” Lehmkuhl said. Rendahl is also looking for people with stories about working on the Kenner toy line for future volumes. Who knows what’s still sitting in someone’s closet in Cincinnati?

Ohio plans to double number of medical marijuana dispensaries Jackie Borchardt Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Ohio plans to grow the number of medical marijuana dispensaries in the state by more than twofold in the next year. Businesses can apply for 73 new dispensary licenses this summer, bringing the total allowed to 130 statewide. The Ohio Board of Pharmacy approved the expansion on April 19. Under the plan, applicants would have to apply by the same rules as the initial 2017 application process, including security and business plan requirements. Applicants that meet the qualifi cations would be entered into a lottery to allocate licenses by dispensary district, which is typically one county or a group of two or three smaller counties. Licensees would be limited to fi ve dispensary licenses total statewide, including licenses they have now. The pharmacy board in 2017 set an initial limit of 60 dispensaries, spread amongst the state by single or multi-county districts. That number was based on an estimated patient count of between 12,000 and 24,000 over two years, said Sharon Maerten-Moore, the board’s director of medical marijuana operations. There are now at least 92,772 patients with active registrations. The board awarded 57 licenses in 2018 – three districts lacked enough qualifi ed applicants to award the maximum number of licenses. Sales began at four dispensaries in January 2019, and most of the rest were operational by the end of the summer. Five are still haven't opened. Patients have complained about high prices and having to drive long distances to fi nd deals or certain products. Maerten-Moore said those two factors are driving patients to not renew their cards. “We feel that if additional dispensaries are added and patient travel decreases and due to more competition in the market, prices will decrease over time,” Maerten-Moore said on April 19. The board is required to consider expansion once every two years, based on the state population, patient population and geographic distribution of patients. Ohio has fewer dispensaries per capita than neighboring Pennsylvania, which has 109 dispensaries and Michigan, with 364. The expansion will be applied proportionate to the number of registered patients in each district: h Franklin County: six to 15. h Hamilton County: three to 11. h Summit County: three to 5. The board is required to consider expansion once

every two years, based on the state population, patient population and geographic distribution of patients. In determining the number, the board reviewed the number of patients who have registered at one point since December 2018, more than 168,000 as of January 2021, to anticipate growth in the program. The expansion aimed to average 1,200 patients per dispensary per district and 300 to 600 per dispensary, a number considered to be viable revenue-wise for dispensaries. “It seems like a fair number for both the industry and the patients alike,” said Matt Close, executive director of the Ohio Medical Cannabis Industry Association. The association, which represents cultivators, product manufacturers and dispensaries, had lobbied the pharmacy board for 150 licenses. The board hopes to avoid lawsuits and appeals from unsuccessful applicants and speed up the award process by incorporating a lottery. Applications would be judged on whether they meet several requirements or not and winners would be selected from that pool. “We’ve learned it’s a very litigious process that scoring and someone’s opinion of someone’s security plan might be diﬀ erent depending on the scorers,” pharmacy board spokesman Cameron McNamee said. An exact timeline for accepting applications is not yet known, but it won't likely begin before June.

The Forest Sandusky, a medical marijuana dispensary at 1651 Tiffin Ave in Sandusky, is expected to be one of the ﬁ rst medical marijuana dispensaries in Ohio to open. The Forest Sandusky is the sister company of Standard Wellness, LLC, the Level 1 state-licensed medical marijuana cultivator and processor located in Gibsonburg, Ohio.

Container kitchen herb garden is a thoughtful, practical gift Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

When Mother Nature oﬀ ers her wild bounty, she doesn’t take into account we may be busy with other things, like harvesting spring produce or working to patch leaky gutters. That’s why I’m a bit late in getting this column to my editors. For the past week, along with regular chores, we’ve been outdoors, sometimes over hill and dale, foraging for wild edibles. Morels are in season but oh so elusive. Violets and red buds for jellies there for the taking. So it wasn’t until today that I got to sit down and read my mail. In it was a timely query. “What are some good cooking herbs to grow in containers? I don’t have much space, but buying fresh herbs puts a dent in my budget and I waste more than I use.” Now most herbs are happy either in the ground or in a container. The bonus of container gardening? More control. With Mother’s Day approaching, a container kitchen herb garden is a thoughtful, practical gift. Container herbs are good outdoor accents, as well. Tips to get you started: h Good drainage, proper container size and good potting soil are essential. h Plant herbs singly or in groups. h Planting several herbs in a container is ﬁ ne as long as they have the same soil, water, etc. requirements. h Herbs planted in containers will be smaller than in-ground herbs, which is good for those aggressive spreading herbs, like mints, chives, oregano and thyme. h You’ll harvest more often, too. That keeps herbs smaller. h The herbs below are super versatile. Good choices for an essential and basic herb garden. h They like sun but will tolerate a little shade. Basil

Rita Heikenfeld’s teaching herb garden contains some potted herbs. Basils are pictured in a black kettle. RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE ENQUIRER

This annual herb comes in many varieties, from standards like Genovese to petite, dwarf varieties like Bouquet. Pinch fl owers off (fl owers of culinary herbs are edible) for a longer harvest. Basil lends a sweet/spicy note to foods. Add during the last fi ve minutes of cooking time for an explosion of fl avor. Rosemary Rosemary, that piney-tasting, tender perennial, usually gets as big as the pot it’s in. Once it reaches the same height as the pot, either root prune it or move to a larger pot. It’s a strong-tasting herb, particular-

shutters, shades & blinds

ly when fresh. Rosemary needles are called that for a reason – they can get stuck in the throat, so if you’re not using the whole sprig, mince leaves. Thyme This perennial tends to look weedy after a couple of years in the ground, yet it is easily controlled in a pot. Thyme comes in bush or trailing varieties. Lemon thyme is a much-loved container herb. Oregano A must for a culinary garden. Think pizza! An easy perennial to grow, it, too, takes to good, regular pruning to control growth. Greek oregano is the gold stan-

dard. Chives Both garlic and onion chives are fastgrowing perennials. Harvest by cutting down to soil level. Another cut and come again herb, chives lend a mild yet distinct ﬂ avor. Sage Having fresh or home-dried sage brings your holiday cooking to a new level. You’ll have fresh sage until a hard frost occurs. Variegated varieties are smaller than regular sage.

SCHOOL NEWS The next phase of robotics at NRHS: Drones Competition Robotics Aerial Drone Competition is the next frontier for New Richmond High School students who are studying robotics with Teacher and Coach Alan Lindner. Before New Richmond students can compete, however, they must fi rst master the art of piloting drones. It’s a skill the students in Mr. Lindner’s Robotics III class are striving to master. They had hoped to enter at least one competition this school year, Mr. Lindner said. Due to the pandemic, this posed a challenge. The few competitions that could be found were several states away. Despite this, his students are focused on refi ning their skills in preparation for robotics and aerial drone competitions in the 2021-2022 school year. “This is the perfect time to get into this,” Mr. Lindner said. “And, hopefully, as this grows and there are more competitions closer to home, New Richmond will be ready.” Mr. Lindner and students in his robotics classes are not new to embracing new and unfamiliar challenges. Last school year, a New Richmond High School Robotics Team made school history when it became the fi rstever NRHS team to compete in a VEX Robotics Competition. Despite the newness of the robotics competition for students, the team members surprised everyone by placing 10th out of 32 teams. In January of this year, the Robotics Team traveled to Indiana for a competition. Once again, the skills of the individual team members earned New Richmond 15th out of 40 teams. While the competition is fun and provides unique opportunities for the Robotics students, it also has practical benefi ts. The real-world applications for the skills the students gain from both taking the robotics classes and the competition are nearly limitless. For example, career fi elds where drone skills are in demand include real estate, photography, surveyor, powerline and rooftop inspector, and rescue team member to name a few. The Robotics program continues to grow at NRHS. Next school year, a Robotics 4 class will be introduced. Several students are already signed on. The Robotics 4 students will work with the incoming Robotics 3 students. By blending the classes, a team-type atmosphere will develop and the experienced students will be able to mentor others with less experience, Mr. Lindner said. This is how other districts develop robotics programs. This is how they help their students to develop the necessary skills to compete and possibly pursue careers or continue their education in robotics, he said. This is the direction Mr. Lindner said he hopes New Richmond Schools can continue to grow. Sheila Vilvens, New Richmond Exempted Village School District

Six McNicholas seniors commit to college athletic programs Six McNicholas High School studentathletes participated in National Signing Day on Wednesday, April 14, to celebrate their intent to continue their athletic careers at the collegiate level: seniors Daniel Auxier, Clay Badylak, Riley Haugh, Emma McSwigan, Austin Ramey and Mia Smith. McNicholas High School Athletic Director Drew Schmidt said, “It’s always a great day to be a Rocket, but when you can highlight the accomplishments of such great achievers, on and off the fi eld, it becomes an even better day to be a Rocket.” Daniel Auxier signed his intent to play lacrosse at Virginia Wesleyan University. Through just six matches so far this season, Auxier has scored seven goals on 41 shots on goal and has won more than 10 groundballs. Auxier is a two-year team captain, three-year starter at attack, and, according to his coaches, he “possesses a high lacrosse IQ and is very competitive.” Clay Badylak will continue his baseball career at Frontier Community College. As a three-sport athlete, Badylak has been a member of the McNicholas football, basketball and baseball programs. Along with All-League, All-City and All-District accolades in football and basketball, Badylak was named fi rst-team All-GCL in baseball as a sophomore. He hit .431 and accumulated a 3.5 ERA with 34 strikeouts in 26 innings pitched. Riley Haugh committed to play football at Hiram College. As a member of the Rocket football team, Haugh was a key cog on the interior lines. He recorded nearly 70 tackles in 23 career games played and earned second-team AllGCL honors as a senior. “Riley obviously was a tremendous football player, but more importantly he is an excellent teammate,” said McNicholas head football coach Mike Orlando. “In short, he has a tremendous heart, he gives uncommon eff ort, and cares deeply about those around him.” Emma McSwigan will continue her soccer career at Northern Kentucky University. McSwigan is a two-sport athlete, competing as a member of Rocket basketball and soccer teams. She was named second-team All-GCL

her junior and senior seasons in basketball. In soccer, she competed at the varsity level for four seasons and was named All-GCL all four years. During her senior season, McSwigan was named fi rst-team All-GCL, fi rst-team All-City and second-team All-State. Austin Ramey signed his intent to play football at Ave Maria University. As a Rocket football player, he was named All-GCL three times. Even though Ramey’s senior year was plagued by injury, he still earned multiple accolades including fi rst-team All-GCL, and fi rstteam All-City, fi rst-team All-Southwest Ohio and fi rst-team All-State. Mia Smith will continue her softball career at Mount St. Joseph University. During her sophomore season as a Rocket, Smith batted .421 and had two home runs. So far this season in just fi ve games, Smith is hitting .500 with seven doubles, two home runs and 11 RBI. “Our signees represent everything we want our student-athletes to be: dedicated, committed, accountable and hard-working,” Schmidt said. “As a result, we are proud to have had them leave their footprints in our McNicholas community’s history.” Anne Jones McNicholas High School

ing on to virtual national competition. Like last year, COVID-19 changed their competitions from in-person to virtual. Last year, they were unable to travel to Washington, D.C. This year, they are unable to attend national competition at Walt Disney World. “We hope things improve enough to go to nationals in Dallas next year,” said chapter secretary Alanna Mansour. State competition results were announced on April 26. Four Batavia BPA members became state champions – Grace Brown in Health Leadership, Ian Bullis in Ethics and Professionalism, Issac Hattar in Extemporaneous Speech, and Julia Wolfe in ICD-10-CM Medical Coding. Second-place qualifi ers included Bree Page in Health Insurance and Billing; Jaden Blunt, Jacob Frey and James Langley in Economic Research Project Team; Savanna Lewis in Legal Offi ce Procedures; Alanna Mansour in Human Resource Management; Jordan McGeorge in Advanced Offi ce Systems; and Cullen Watson in Economic Research Project Individual. Avery Collier earned third place in Presentation Management Individual along with Shelby Esz and Sydnie Pelle in Global Marketing Team and Brandon Royse in Prepared Speech. Several Top 5 and Top 10 recipients also qualifi ed for national competition, including Isabelle Bullis in Legal Offi ce Procedures, Rincie Demmings in Advanced Offi ce, Jordan Copenhaver in Business Law and Ethics, and Paula Lugo-Salgado in ICD-10-CM Medical Coding. Their chapter adviser and business teacher Angie Kovacs said, “We didn’t know what to expect, but 40 of them jumped in anyway. They are amazing and I am proud of all of them.” In addition to competitive event awards, the chapter also earned the prestigious Ohio Professional Cup for the fourth time. Batavia received the award based on outstanding state participation and support for their community. If all that isn’t enough, eight members also earned the Stateman Torch Award for commitment to school and community service. Recipients include Grace Brown, Isabelle Bullis, Avery Collier, Brooke Hamilton, Issac Hattar, Ashlee Norman, Cullen Watson and Hannah Wiederhold. All students are enrolled in the Business Management Satellite Program at Batavia High School off ered through Great Oaks Career Campuses. Jon Weidlich Great Oaks Career Campuses

SPORTS Former Withrow football coach leads UAPB to division crown Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Former Withrow High School football coach Doc Gamble has led the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff to a division championship in his fi rst season as a collegiate head football coach. The unbeaten Golden Lions captured the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) Western Division crown after a 36-31 victory over Prairie View A&M on Saturday. It’s the fi rst division title for UAPB since 2012, and they advance to the SWAC Championship Game against Alabama A&M on May 1. Current Withrow Head football coach Kali Jones off ered his congratulations to Gamble, who is also a Withrow graduate. “Congratulations to Withrow Alumnus and former head coach Doc Gamble on winning the SWAC West title! Withrow Nation and the program is cheering you on coach!” Jones said in a Facebook post. Gamble served as the head football coach at Withrow from 2003-2007 and 2009-2011. He compiled a 53-19 record with two playoff appearances and re-

ceived the Paul Brown Excellence in Coaching Award in 2004. Gamble was also the head coach at Fairfi eld in 2008. After one-year stints as an off ensive assistant at the University of Cincinnati and recruiting coordinator at Alcorn State, Gamble spent fi ve seasons coach-

ing wide receivers at Kent State University. In 2018, UAPB hired him as an assistant head coach and quarterbacks coach and then named him head coach last spring. The Golden Lions have other South-

west Ohio connections outside of their head coach. Senior quarterback Taylor Holston led Shroder to its fi rst-ever playoff berth in 2014. Freshman linebacker Rylan Woods was a secondteam Miami Valley Conference selection in 2017. He played basketball at Dohn Prep in Cincinnati and plays both sports at UAPB. Freshman running back Daniel Ingram was fi rst-team Eastern Cincinnati Conference for Withrow in 2019 and was the Cincinnati Metro Athletic Conference player of the year at Woodward in 2018. Ingram was originally committed to the University of Cincinnati but switched to Arkansas Pine Bluff after Gamble made an off er shortly after becoming the head coach. Two more Greater Cincinnati products were a part of UAPB’s 2021 signing class. Former Western Hills running back Kayvon Britten ran for 3,382 yards and 38 touchdowns in his prep career and is the program’s all-time leading rusher. Norwood tight end Kevin English also signed after catching 128 passes for 1,778 yards and 20 touchdowns in four seasons. He was second-team all-district in 2020.

Reds increasing fan capacity at home games to 40% Bobby Nightengale Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Beginning April 30, the Cincinnati Reds can have a larger crowd for their home games at Great American Ball Park. The Reds announced that they will increase capacity from 30% to 40%, which follows new public health orders from Gov. Mike DeWine and the Ohio Department of Health regarding outdoor events. With a maximum capacity of 30% for the ﬁ rst month of the season, the Reds’ biggest crowd was 12,598 fans at last Saturday’s game against Cleveland. The increase to 40% gives them an estimated maximum attendance of about 16,900. Cleveland’s baseball team already announced it was increasing capacity to

40% for its home games at Progressive Field. “The Reds are encouraged by this

news and will continue to follow the guidelines set by our state,” said Reds COO Phil Castellini. “We are going to be

choiceful as we add seats, keeping the safety of fans as our top priority. We believe this is the right approach as we mirror what is happening throughout the state.” In a press release, the Reds said that all fans holding tickets to games after April 30 will be contacted via email over the next two weeks with more information. The new protocols allow for “mixed pods” of up to 10 people. Fans will continue to be required to wear a mask at all times in the ballpark unless they are actively eating or drinking in ticketed seats. “We are very pleased with our fans’ compliance to our safety protocols at the ballpark,” Tim O’Connell, the Reds’ VP of ballpark operations, said in a statement. “Operationally it is our preference to add capacity in smaller increments like this, as the state permits.”

tion of his right leg. After numerous surgeries, months in the hospital and then two long stints of rehab, Smith returned to the ﬁ eld. He didn’t miss a beat, reclaiming the role of starting quarterback and leading Washington to the NFC East championship. His resilience and determination made him the runaway favorite to win the NFL’s 2020 Comeback Player of the Year Award. Former World Cup alpine ski racer for the U.S. Ski Team, Vonn is one of only two female skiers to win four World Cup overall championships. She claims the second highest super ranking of all skiers — men or women —and earned a record eight World Cup season titles in the downhill discipline. Her long list of

medals and championships makes Vonn the most successful American ski racer, and she is considered one of the greatest skiers in the world. Also known as “Six Feet of Sunshine,” Walsh Jennings, 42, will announce the winners for volleyball. She’s looking to compete alongside partner Brooke Sweat in the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games. She became the most decorated beach volleyball Olympian of all time after winning bronze in 2016. This ﬁ vetime Olympian has three gold and one bronze medal in beach volleyball and holds the record for tournament victories with 135 for her career.

Fish are biting, and tomatoes are growing Ole Fisherman George Rooks Guest columnist

Howdy, folks. According to The Enquirer, the cicadas will be coming out of the ground next month. Where they come up out of the ground will leave a little hole, and that will let water go into the ground. They sure make a racket, but that is nature. I have been roaming around Bethel and have seen the birds gathering sticks to build their nests. This is the time of the year for them to start their next brood. There are so many robins and a lot of black birds. The big black birds that have been here for a long time are gone, but I imagine they will come back when they ﬁ nish the deer carcasses that have been hit by vehicles.

When my mom had several foster children, there was one boy that was scared of the owls in the hay loft on the farm. When someone would ask him to go to the hay loft and put hay down for the cows and horses, he would say OK. But when someone said to him watch out for the owls, he would say no. I talked to Sherry’s Lake, and the fi shing is pretty good with a couple big, blue cats and big shovel head catfi sh being caught. The folks are catching lots of channel catfi sh. These are good eating. Then I called Cedar Lake, and the lady said the fi shermen have caught several blue cats in the 30-pound range and several shovel head catfi sh in the 12to-15-pound range. I talked to Danny Grant at their farm and greenhouse, and he said the plants they have set out, especially the tomatoes, have blooms and small tomatoes on them. He said the customers are picking up mulch. He also said that Jason is getting his equipment ready for

planting before long. I talked to Mike at the Boars Head Bait Shop in Afton, and he said the crappie are really biting. One feller caught over 100 crappie and kept his limit. He put the rest back. He said they are full of eggs. They will be spawning before long and the bass will be invading their nest. It looks like the spawn for the crappie, bluegill and catfi sh is going to be good. Mike was at Rocky Fork Lake for a bass tournament. Wendy at the shop said they have been very busy with people getting bait to go fi shing. She said there are plenty of bluegills along with crappie, catfi sh, sauger and bass being caught. There are also some musky every once in awhile being caught at East Fork. East Fork has really become a fi ne fi shing lake, and the camping has been very good. Ohio has some of the best camp areas you can fi nd to camp out. As I write this on Saturday afternoon,

the weather report is for snow next week. I just got back from the Feedmill here in Bethel getting some birdseed and looked at the room where they keep plants. There were some fi ne tomato plants along with other plants. It is getting to be the time to set out the plants. Just wait until the fi rst of May and use the old tractor tires or raised bed. I talk to Jarman’s Greenhouse, and the young lady said they are open Monday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. They have plenty of fi ne plants to sell, so stop and see them. I talked to Grant‘s Greenhouse on State Route 131, and the lady there said they planted over 100 tomato plants four weeks ago and should have ripe tomatoes the last of May or the fi rst part of June. They also planted cucumbers two weeks ago, so stop and see them. Start your week by praying and praising the good Lord. God bless all. More later ...

COMMUNITY NEWS Anderson Heritage Center ‘Oasis’ designated as arboretum Besides serving as a charming venue enjoyed by residents, the Anderson Township Heritage Center on Eight Mile Road is now a certifi ed arboretum. This neighborhood oasis sports a wide variety of trees, shrubs and fl owers with 48 plants labeled and cataloged as the offi cial arboretum collection. “Come walk the grounds and identify them yourself,” notes Greenspace Inspector Suzanne Clingman. Plants included in the offi cial collection are identifi ed with a QR code that links to a website with a map and more information about each plant. Visit https:// arcg.is/1fSPH40 to preview the collection. The collection can also be accessed through the township website at AndersonTownship.org. Planning for the arboretum began in the fall of 2019. The volunteer-led Anderson Township Tree Committee and its arboretum subcommittee headed by Tim Kloppenborg aided in obtaining the certifi cation. These Tree Committee volunteers measured and cataloged information on each tree in the collection and planted new trees and shrubs to add to the variety that was already there. Future plans for the arboretum include the addition of more woody plants to enhance beauty and variety, particularly with native plants. Also special educational events including this being a stop on the Anderson Township Garden Tour. Level I Accreditation was awarded by the ArbNet Arboretum Accreditation Program and the Morton Arboretum in December of 2020 for achieving particular standards of professional practices deemed important for arboreta.

Great Parks, surpassing last year’s total by 4,200 pounds! “People in our region anticipate this program returning every year. They are mindful about salvaging unwanted lights, knowing they can dispose of them sustainably through Great Parks,” said Great Parks CEO Todd Palmeter. “The continued expansion of this program along with the increased amount of lights recycled by residents reinforces the value of strong community partnerships achieving great results.” Cohen is donating $2,355 to Great Parks to support ongoing conservation eﬀ orts. “Recycling and protecting the great outdoors go hand in hand,” said Cohen Director of Marketing, Marisa Head. “Recovering copper from recycled lights reduces the need for newly-mined copper and the environmental damage that results from it. We are grateful to our local partners like Great Parks for making recycling more accessible to the community and helping us educate.” To date, over 42,300 pounds of lights have been collected over the course of the partnership program. This year’s total comes close to surpassing all six previous years combined. For more information about Cohen, visit https://www.cohenusa.com/. Kimberly Whitton Great Parks of Hamilton County

ArtWorks welcomes Mary Kay Koehler as its senior director of development ArtWorks is proud to announce Mary Kay Koehler has been hired as the organization’s senior director of development. Koehler, who most recently served as senior relationship manager at ProKids, brings 12 years of nonprofi t experience to ArtWorks. In her new Koehler role, she is responsible for all aspects of the development program, including strategizing and leading fundraising eff orts to acquire and expand fi nancial support for ArtWorks. “Mary Kay is passionate about youth and arts and has a phenomenal track record serving our community through

the nonproﬁ t sector,” Colleen Houston, CEO and artistic director. “ArtWorks is thrilled to hire such a talented and mission-focused leader to join our team and grow our impact.” This year marks ArtWorks’ 25th year, and the organization has recently announced Stronger Together, its largest spring season ever, employing 68 youth apprentices and 37 artists and teaching staﬀ . In 2020, ArtWorks hired 123 youth apprentices for 75 public art projects. “I am passionate about youth and the arts,” Koehler said. “I grew up studying ballet and later went on to have a career as a professional musician singing opera. I understand the power the arts can have in a young person’s life, so I’m looking forward to learning what about our work excites our supporters and connect that passion to our mission.” Koehler has a master’s in vocal performance/opera from Miami University and a bachelor’s in music from Xavier University. She lives in Mason with her wife, Heather, and their two young daughters. In her spare time, she loves baking bread, practicing yoga and enjoying the vibrant arts scene in Cincinnati.

During the ceremony, each athlete will receive a PigAbilities medal to commemorate their achievement. Find out more about PigAbilities at www.fl yingpigmarathon.com/events/ pigabilities and please register today for this important inclusive event which is designed to off er athletes of all abilities

Ohio Valley Goodwill again sponsors PigAbilities Ohio Valley Goodwill is pleased to announce that for the ﬁ fth consecutive year, Ohio Valley Goodwill is the title sponsor for the PigAbilities event as part of the 2021 Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon. PigAbilities is an empowering option for athletes of all ages and abilities who want to commit to going the distance by making healthy choices in their lives. During a typical year (preCOVID-19), the PigAbilities event would take place when there are fewer crowds, increased accessibility and more parking. This year, like last year, Pig Works is oﬀ ering virtual options for the spring, with a hoped-for in-person event taking place the week of Oct. 29-31 in downtown Cincinnati. The virtual events are slated to begin May 1, but athletes can choose their own schedules to meet their needs. Ohio Valley Goodwill is working with its team of athletes served by the organization to begin training in the next few weeks in preparation for

the opportunity to be part of the Flying Pig Marathon weekend and to celebrate their personal success. There is also a video on the PigAbilities page featuring Nicole White and her daughter talking about how important the PigAbilities event is to them. Plan to join Goodwill in planning virtual PigAbilities events this spring, kicking off the weekend of May 1. PigAbilities is an empowering option for athletes of all ages and abilities who want to commit to going the distance by making healthy choices in their lives. In 2019, the PigAbilities event broke all previous records for participation with more than 400 athletes choosing to fi nish the fi nal mile of the Flying Pig Marathon. That year, more than 50 athletes supported by Ohio Valley Goodwill participated in the Pigabilities event and the post-race celebration and loved it. While last year’s virtual event only welcomed six dedicated athletes directly affi liated with Goodwill, other athletes in the Greater Cincinnati community chose to create virtual PigAbilities events in their home communities as well. Ohio Valley Goodwill is grateful to Pig Works for their support of the 2020 virtual PigAbilities event and are very proud of the athletes who accomplished their personal goals.

NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE

ANSWERS ON PAGE 11B

No. 0425 A RARE FIND

BY JOHAN VASS / EDITED BY WILL SHORTZ Johan Vass is a restaurant worker in Stockholm, Sweden. Though he has never been to the United States, he has been solving American crosswords for many years. He says his personal best times for New York Times puzzles range from 3:21 on a Monday to 10:36 on a Sunday. Somewhere along the way he started constructing crosswords in English — which is quite a challenge for someone coming from another language and culture. Johan says this one took him two months to make. I’m honestly in awe. — W.S.

When not diagnosed and corrected with lenses, vision problems can lead to eye fatigue, discomfort and headaches and in children it can also lead to developmental delays, eye-hand coordination problems and their literacy skills may lag,” said Barry Malinowski, M.D., medical director for Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Ohio. “Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield and the Foundation are committed to improving the health and wellness of communities across the country and that’s why this partnership with OneSight was so important to us because it allowed us to provide quality vision care and eyewear to those who need it most.” The free clinics included a mobile, state-of-the-art van equipped with a vision center and optical lab, and a stationary vision clinic. Leveraging OneSight’s proven clinic model and manufacturing capabilities, most participants in need of glasses received their newly prescribed eyewear on-site.

Footlighters pays it forward with COVID-19 community cooperation The Footlighters, Inc. is taking advantage of COVID-19-inspired extended intermission in the theater with a huge initiative to renovate the theater, upgrade the HVAC system and completely update the theater decor and experience for theater patrons. The Footlighters board approved the purchase of new seating and then was confronted with the dilemma of what to do with the existing 100-plus seats in the theater. Enter COVID-19 community cooperation. The board decided to off er the existing seating to another theater or nonprofi t group with the only commitment being to pick up and transport the seating out of the Footlighters facility. After sharing the opportunity among other theater groups and non-profi ts, Revolution Dance Theater was selected as the lucky recipient of the free seating. Revolution Dance Theater (RDT) founding and producing Artistic Director David Choate was ecstatic to have the opportunity and shared, “It was just really monumental for them to make a donation of those theater seats to Revolution Dance Theater.” The donated seating will enable RDT to off er productions and seat live audiences in their new 9,000square-foot company space. Stay tuned for the new Footlighters fundraising initiative to support the renovation, and learn about ways to buy a slice of history with a few remaining CCM Corbett/Footlighter legacy seats and the opportunity to claim a slice of Footlighters’ future with the new seating sponsorship campaign.

Combined, the team brings over 25 years of wine-making experience working in Napa Valley and Sonoma, California, to the new venture. Their ﬁ rst wines will include a 2018 Alexander Valley Cabernet Franc and a 2019 Anderson Valley Chardonnay. Terratorium intends to be actively involved in the local food and beverage community of Cincinnati with Matthews being based full-time in the city. “We’d love to see our brand bring Cincinnatians together over a glass of wine, because Terratorium has its origins in this city. Early on, we worked with a local designer, Tommy Sheehan (Tommy INK), and close friends in the local CPG marketing industry to develop our brand and vision for the company,” said co-founder and president Matthews.

Terratorium winery launches direct to consumers Terratorium, a Sonoma-based winery, founded by two friends who connected while working in the California wine industry, launched on April 2. Ben Matthews, based in Cincinnati, and Cameron Laurent, based in Sacramento, are the winery’s co-founders. Under

Co-founder Laurent says their business model allows the winery to exercise ﬂ exibility. “Since we work with a variety of grape-growers, we can explore new vineyard sites and varieties. If we ﬁ nd a great fruit source, we are able to bring that into our portfolio easier than if we tied only to one vineyard property.” To purchase wine or learn more about Terratorium visit their website (www.terratoriumwines.com) or follow them on Instagram (@terratoriumwines).

Brock Denniston earns pilot certifi cation at UC Clermont Brock Denniston earned his private pilot certifi cate on April 7. To obtain his private certifi cate, Denniston passed

an oral and a fl ight exam with a Federal Aviation Administration designated fl ight examiner. Denniston, a resident in Covington, Kentucky, is enrolled in the Aviation Technology Program at UC Clermont College. The laboratory portion of the program is taught at the Clermont County Airport. When Denniston completes the two-year program through UC Clermont, he will have earned an Associate of Applied Science degree and a commercial pilot certifi cate. For more information about professional pilot training in the Aviation Technology Program at UC Clermont, visit www.UCClermont.edu/aviation. Eric Radtke

Cicadas and your yard: Much more benefi t than harm during the cicadas' visit. Just remember that cicadas off er more benefi ts than harm. When they emerge from the soil, they open up the soil, aerifying it. As previously mentioned, the fl agging is a benefi cial pruning to larger trees. Their bodies are full of nitrogen, so when they die, it goes into the soil, benefi tting our plants. Yes, cicadas leave plants healthier than when they arrived. They are also an abundant food source for wildlife. Birds will feast on the cicadas. This will make them healthier and happier, and the bird populations will increase. This is also true of the mole population. This is why mole activity has greatly increased in recent years in the areas where the cicadas will emerge. After the emergence, the population of moles that have it so good in recent years will naturally decrease. As I wrap this article up, you should know not everyone reading it will see the cicadas. The heaviest concentrations of cicadas from Brood X will mostly be in the western side of Hamilton County, Boone County in Kentucky, and Dearborn County in Indiana. The eastern side of Hamilton County as well as Butler, Clermont, Adams, and Brown counties will not see many of the insects. Those counties will get theirs in four years when Brood XIV emerges.

We are about a month away from the arrival of the 17-year cicadas. There is always a bit of excitement – but also a lot of unnecessary fear – during this phenomenon of nature. The emergence of the cicadas should begin around the middle of May. In a recent article in this paper, Dr. Gene Kritsky, a leading cicada expert and entomologist from the College of Mount St. Joseph University, said that Cincinnati typically sees emergence after two days of temperatures in the low 80’s and a "soaking rain." Cicadas emerge from the ground as nymphs. They climb to a vertical surface, usually a tree but it could be any type of woody plant. Here, they shed their exoskeleton. Then the wings will fi ll with fl uid and the bodies will harden. Now they are ready to fl y and sing. Their sole purpose on earth is to fi nd a mate and reproduce to begin the next 17-year cycle. This is where our plants come into play. At the end of the mating process, the female cicadas will lay eggs into tree limbs. This happens at the end of the branches where the wood is soft and thin. During this process, these thin branches are frequently broken. The branches may also die back to the tip and the leaves will turn brown. This is referred to as fl agging. The potential for this damage is what is concerning to people who value their trees and landscapes. In reality, this damage is actually benefi cial to the trees. Branches that are damaged or die were the weak ones, so the fl agging serves as a light pruning of the tree. The wind cleans the brown leaves and broken branches off the trees, which is the equivalent of a light pruning. Pruning stimulates growth, so where the fl agging takes place, the foliage of the trees will become thicker. The highest concentrations of cicadas will be where the older, established trees are located. Nobody needs to worry about large trees; they have been through this cycle many times. Concerns about smaller, newly planted trees, however, are warranted because smaller trees have fewer branches to sacrifi ce. With this being said, it is still unusual for any tree to be killed by cicadas. It is also easy to protect smaller trees. Garden centers carry fabric-like material that can be used to cover smaller trees. This material allows light and air through to the leaves while the trees are covered. The emergence will last 6 to 8 weeks. If you choose to cover your trees, you should do so during the last week of April or the fi rst week of May. The trees should stay covered until mid-June. Covering trees is not essential for the tree to survive; it is only necessary to

prevent damage that in most cases the tree will recover from. There may be a few exceptions where the concentrations are the heaviest. If you have been reluctant to plant new trees because of the cicadas, don’t be. The trees are living here in the area now, at the garden centers and nurseries. Any day is a great day to plant a tree. The sooner you plant a tree in your yard, the sooner it starts to become a beautiful addition to your landscape. I would not put oﬀ planting a tree during spring weather when the selection at garden stores is the best. Cicadas are ugly and they will certainly make a lot of noise. They will also be extremely annoying when you are outside and they are ﬂ ying around. Understandably, a lot of people try to avoid going outdoors
