Century-old Tradition Coming To An End Junior newspaper carriers, having served the Tristate for decades, are being retired

We’re losing another piece of “the good old days,” as junior carriers stop delivering weekly newspapers in the suburbs. This newspaper has been using junior carriers since at least the 1870s, but more likely since its launch in 1841. During that time, young people delivering newspapers has become a touchstone of the American experience. May will be the last month The Enquirer and its network of Community Press and Recorder newspapers will use junior carriers, also known as paper boys and paper girls in Ohio. The Kentucky carriers will deliver their last papers in June. Some East Side carriers have already made their last rounds.

A Turpin High School and Miami University graduate has been promoted to deputy director of legislative services by the Ohio School Boards Association. Will Schwartz joined the association as a lobbyist in 2018 after working eight years for the Ohio Legislative Service Commission, where he was the principal drafter on several key education-related bills, the association said in a press release. At the commission, Schwartz also staﬀ ed several General Assembly committees, including the House Education and Career Readiness Committee, and full sessions of the House and Senate. As deputy director of legislative services for the school boards association, Schwartz will work with the division’s director to oversee its advocacy eﬀ orts and supervise other members of the team. His other duties will include lobbying the General Assembly on behalf of Ohio public education, tracking legislation and testifying before legislative committees, the press release said. Schwartz also will present training sessions and write for Ohio School Boards Association publications.

He started with one route, about 12 houses, but then picked up an extra route. “I’m really sad about losing my customers, all the people,” he said. He recalled an older couple would wave at him through the window every time he dropped oﬀ a paper. His father, Dave Bergan, said it has

For an eight-yearold to say they wanted a job, this is all we could ﬁ nd,” Bergan said. “This was just his ﬁ rst regular job and responsibility where he was serving his customers. That’s just a hard skill to replicate in other ways at young ages.”

The annual Ohio River Sweep event has been rescheduled due to COVID-19, according to the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission, which organizes the event. "The ﬁ rst priority of the program is the safety of our coordinators and volunteers," said Lisa Cochran, program manager for the event. The event was planned for June 20, but now the event will be split up into multiple dates. The Ohio River Sweep occurs in the six states which border the Ohio River. Organizers said each of these states has a diﬀ erent timeline for allowing group activities to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus. In the past, the sweep has happened across the region at the same time, but this year, each community will schedule its own date.

95-year-old leaves hospital after ﬁ ght with coronavirus Jared Goffinet Fox19

A 95-year-old woman headed home after spending more than three weeks in the hospital ﬁ ghting pneumonia and the coronavirus. Mary Eckstein, 95, had been at Mercy Health – Clermont Hospital since she was diagnosed with severe pneumonia on April 16, Nanette Bentley with Bon Secours Mercy Health says. The day after she arrived at the hospital, she tested positive for coronavirus.

Mary eventually had to be put on a ventilator for fi ve days, Bentley says. Once she made enough of a recovery, Mary would be discharged and able to go home. Just as she was making progress, the hospital says her breathing troubles returned and she went back on a ventilator. The 95-year-old continued to fi ght and fi nally, Mary was able to leave the hospital on May 4. “There’s always hope,” says Bruce Eckstein, Mary’s son.

When you’ve got an urge for a burger, it’s hard to think about any other food. Fortunately, you can order one up pretty easily for carryout. A burger might be the single most available food for carryout during this stay-inside time. Some of the biggest burger names in Cincinnati aren’t open: Zip’s is closed for now (though you can buy their special ground beef mix at Avril’s Meats Downtown). So is Kreuger’s and some of my favorites like Frenchie Fresh and Senate. I haven’t done the math, but surely over half the restaurants that are open are oﬀ ering burgers: Sacred Beast to Pleasantry to Walt’s or Morton’s. But here are some places that particularly specialize in burgers.

Chandler’s Burger Bistro With two locations on the West Side, Chandler’s oﬀ ers a bunch of specialty burgers, There’s a Westsider, of course, but there’s an Eastsider, too. The rest have mostly sports-themed names from the Big Red Machine to The Panther. They also have wings and snacky starters. Open 11 a.m.-8 p.m. TuesdaySunday.

Sonder Brewing/BrewRiver

None of the fast-food burger joints have closed up completely. If I was home with kids, you bet I’d be in that drive-thru, where no one has to even get out of the car and you can eat in the car and not even bring the trash home.

I haven’t been to Sonder Brewing in Mason, but their kitchen is run by BrewRiver, and that’s recommendation enough for me. At one point, they were my No. 1 burger in town. Add some beer to complete the meal. (If you just want beer, Sonder does free delivery of their beers in cans and growlers. within a 15mile radius of the brewery.)

Frisch’s

Bru Burger

Frisch’s has all the familiar “Boys” on the menu, along with the occasional special oﬀ er, like the current California burger, with a smear of avocado and plenty of bacon. You can order and pay ahead, then pick up in the drive-thru or inside.

Owned by the Cunningham Group from Indianapolis, this is a small regional chain with solid burgers. The Fort Mitchell location has online ordering, Downtown is phone-in. Try the Double Bacon or the Bourbon. They also have an Impossible Burger. Open 11 a.m.-8 p.m.

restaurant had closed. By this January and February, business was doing well. And then ... this. Well, you can still get a Terry’s burger to go, the menu is basically what you remember, even if you haven’t been there in over a year.

Tickle Pickle

Mad Mike’s This locally based mini-chain has three locations: Hamilton, Newport and Florence. The menu has burgers very well priced from $3.59 for a plain burger with free toppings to $8.49 for the Goliath, which uses grilled cheese sandwiches instead of a bun. Most are $6.49 for two quarter-pound beef patties and anything from mushrooms to gyro meat and tzatziki. Call for carryout.

Delwood Cafe This little bar on Mount Lookout Square serves a standard list of bar food like fries, burgers and chicken sandwiches. Except they’re yuca fries, and you can get the burger of chicken with a killer Peruvian topping of salsa criolla, avocado and Peruvian huancaina sauce. Do it. Curbside pickup.

Mama’s Grill OK, I’ve never been to Mama’s Grill Family Restaurant and I only heard of it because I’m seeing some great-looking food photos on Facebook, including burgers that look like they’d be awfully good. It’s in Batavia and open from 10 a.m.-8 p.m. daily for takeout. Call in your order.

wants to launch a dog walking business as soon as COVID-19 restrictions lift enough to allow it. And what does someone like Ben, who demanded work and paycheck at 8 and suﬀ ered through downsizing at 10, want to do when it grows up? He said he wasn’t sure, but had a top three: animator, a YouTuber who does animation or maybe a job that involves working with animals.

A look back

Family ties The Price Hill Press will be one of the last Ohio publications to make the switch. Junior carriers for that paper will make their last delivery on May 27. Griffi n Kelley, 18, will be throwing papers on that last day on a route that has been passed down to him from his four older brothers. “I was tagging along walking the route with them when I was 6 years old. I was just having fun, along for the ride. I’ve had multiple customers tell us how amazing it’s been to watch all of us boys grow up,” Griffi n said. “We were able to build these relationships with people in our neighborhood that we wouldn’t have really got to know without this paper route.” Griffi n is set to graduate from Elder this year and will then head to Ohio State University, just like his older brothers. They have all caddied at Western Hill Country Club and been lifeguards at the Gamble-Nippert YMCA. Duncan Kelley is a senior at OSU graduating with a degree in sports industry. He said: “It’s just never really been an option about whether we would work or not, it’s about where we would work and pretty often how many jobs we would work.” The teens’ father, Deron Kelley, called throwing papers a rite of passage and credits it with helping build his sons’ work ethic. He too was a paper carrier when he was in high school in the early 1980s, though he delivered a much bigger, daily route from a van. Now Griffi n delivers weekly to about 65 houses. Half of what he collects goes to the newspaper, he keeps the other half plus any tips he receives. He said he

“In my head, tossing papers is a very traditional kids ﬁ rst job. I think the safety concern, I guess it’s valid, but I never felt unsafe on my route. It’s just disappointing that the opportunity for kids to come is just not going to be there anymore.” Paxton Kelley

makes about $120 a month and the job takes one to two hours a week. The papers are dropped off to his home on Tuesday nights. He folds them individually that night, then delivers them after school on Wednesdays. “We still had plenty of time to have a good high school social life, have other jobs, get our homework done,” Griffi n said. “It didn’t take too much time and it was still a great job to have.” The Kelley family is extremely disappointed that the program is coming to an end. Paxton Kelley is a junior at Ohio State. He started helping his brother’s deliver the papers when he was about 9. “In my head, tossing papers is a very traditional kids fi rst job. I think the safety concern, I guess it’s valid, but I never felt unsafe on my route,” he said. “It’s just disappointing that the opportunity for kids to come is just not going to be

there anymore.” Paxton said the job was a unique preparation for the working world. “A 9- or 10-year-old getting $80 a month, I didn’t know what to do with it. You just start to learn how to save money and you start to learn what money really is,” he said. “The whole time you’re speaking to adults, and that’s something most 9- or 10-year-olds avoid doing it.” “Our customers will invite us into their houses to keep us warm while they are going to get there money. They’ll give us water on hot days,” Griﬃ n added. The youngest Kelley said an ex-Marine had a choice words when learned the news. “When I informed him that the kids were being ‘kicked out’ of this paper route, he informed me that he was going to try to kick them out. He is not responding lightly to all this,” Griﬃ n said. The Kelleys also worry for their older

References to The Enquirer using “newsboys” can be found dating back to at least 1845, just four years after the paper was founded. In those early days, there were several daily newspapers in Cincinnati. Hundreds of newsboys worked in the city. After the second World War and the huge expansion of public education and suburbia, the job of paper boy or girl took on the look many envision today – the young person tossing papers over the handlebars of their bike. That continued into the 1990s, the decades that brought us the internet, a technology that proved to be monumentally disruptive to the newspaper industry. The Associated Press reported in 2006 that in 1994, more than half of newspaper carriers were under 18. Twelve years later, 81 percent were adults in cars. The demise of afternoon papers, a shift to centralized distribution and earlier delivery deadlines were cited as reasons for the shift. The Enquirer’s parent company, Gannett, operates hundreds of newspapers in 47 states and Guam. Most phased out the use of junior carriers years ago. The Community Press and Recorders are among the last in Gannett to shift to an adult carrier program, consistent with industry best practices, according to Enquirer Executive Editor Beryl Love. Before the program began winding down this spring, there were 1,568 youth carriers delivering to 60,120 homes in region. It’s not a fi nancial decision. Love noted that it will cost more to hire adult carriers than to continue paying young people to do the job. “Ending the youth carrier program was an extremely diffi cult decision to make. The paper boy or paper girl is an iconic part of our history and it’s sad to see that tradition going away,” Love said. “That said, in this day and age, the safety concerns are signifi cant, and many families are uncomfortable with the idea of sending children out door-to-door.”

Rita’s Kitchen

Ginger beer.

HEIKENFELD/FOR THE ENQUIRER

Ginger beer can be made in less than a day Whether you’re working at home in a spare bedroom, a corner of the family room or in a real home offi ce, or even if you don’t usually work outside the home, one thing’s for certain. Most of us are doing more cooking than we ever thought possible. And being adventurous, yet frugal, in the process. I’m guessing that’s why you perked up when I mentioned ginger beer recently. Now don’t get excited – it’s not a real beer, since it contains no grain. But because ginger beer uses yeast in the quick fermenting process, we call it a “beer.” Ginger beer, made with ginger root, is naturally fi zzy with a sweet and spicy bite. The fi rst time I enjoyed it was at friend Triset De Fonseka’s Sri Lankan restaurant, Aralia. That was a long while back. I just assumed it was hard to make, but it isn’t. Ginger beer can be made in less than a day. The original recipe called for wine/champagne yeast, but I used regular bread yeast. It worked fi ne. If I can score some wine yeast, I’ll make a batch and let you know. I’m thinking the wine yeast will have a more refi ned fl avor. Oh, and one more thing. If you don’t have molasses, sub in honey or maple syrup.

Ginger Beer I used 1-1/2 cups sugar, since as it ferments, it becomes less sweet. Ingredients: 8 oz. fresh ginger or frozen root, thawed, peeled a bit and coarsely chopped 7-8 cups water 1 to 1-1/2 cups sugar 1 tablespoon molasses, honey or maple syrup 1/4 to 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice or more to taste 1/4 teaspoon wine or regular bread yeast (active dry yeast) 1 container with enough space for fermentation, covered

fermentation. Sprinkle yeast on top of liquid. Cover with lid. Position it so a tiny bit of air can come in. (Original recipe said to seal tight, but I was afraid of jar bursting.) Let ferment/sit at room temperature for 12 hours or so. Mine sat a full 24. The longer it ferments, the more “beery/yeasty” it tastes. After fermenting, pour into bottles, leaving air space at the top, seal and store in refrigerator. I don’t seal mine real tight. Drink within 1 week. Can be used as a base for cocktails. Freeze ginger: Up to 6 months.

Instructions:

Grow your own ginger:

In a blender, pulse ginger with 1 quart water until roughly puréed.

Check out my abouteating.com site.

Combine ginger-water, 3 to 4 more cups water, sugar and molasses in pot over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves.

Alcohol content: About 0.5%. FDA classiﬁ es it as non-alcoholic. Ginger beer contains probiotics — good for your gut!

Add lemon juice and taste.

Fermentation tip:

Remove from heat and let cool to slightly warmer than room temperature.

Not sure if fermentation is happening? At any time during the process, give the beer a stir or shake (you can do this when you ﬁ rst add the yeast, too).

Line a funnel with coffee ﬁ lters (3) or double cheesecloth to strain liquid into container. Press on solids. I used a big glass jar. A big plastic soda bottle works, too. There should be 3” or so of space left on top for

You should see some action – bubbles forming and if you look close, tiny fermentation bubbles will be rising through the liquid.

Thank you for coming together by being apart. We know it isn’t easy. In times like these you want to be close to the people you care about most. It’s that caring spirit that has all of us coming together by being apart. It’s the kind of sacrifice that’s making a real difference, especially for older adults like the ones that call our independent living, assisted living and memory care communities home. Thank you for doing your part to not only keep yourself and your family safe, but the rest of us as well.

Sports Frank Brandy returns to coach Anderson basketball Scott Springer

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Anderson's Frank Brandy is back as head basketball coach. Brandy had previously coach the Redskins for 21 seasons starting in 1992.

ANDERSON TOWNSHIP - A little over two months ago when Anderson High School didn’t renew the contract of varsity basketball coach Chris DeLotell, Frank Brandy didn’t picture himself doing much more than his current real estate job with ERA. But, he didn’t realize the fever had already taken hold. The 1982 Anderson grad is now back in the saddle with the job he held for 21 seasons. The former Anderson head coach returned to coaching freshman ball when his son Michael was a senior, then recently assisted DeLotell. The story then took a twist when he was asked if he was interested in warming the front seat of the bench again. Brandy thought he may coach again somewhere, but leading Anderson again seemed to be in the rearview mirror. An interview process reinvigorated him and eventually, it was “Meet the new boss, same as the old boss” as The Who famously sang in 1971.

“I never ever thought it would be Anderson,” Brandy said. “I fi gured I had done that and if I was going to be a head coach maybe I’d look at a smaller school or a diff erent situation.” As one thing led to another, athletic director Chris Newton was eventually tweeting out the news on May 6. “Frank had that fi re in his eyes to be back on the court,” Newton said of the interviews. “Frank’s an Anderson man and defi nes that hard-nosed, blue-collar approach we love to see in our athletic teams. I’ve knowns Frank a long time and know how many Anderson alums have benefi ted and loved playing for him.” Added Brandy, “I did realize last year when I was assisting how much I missed it, I was fi ne where I was but I realized I really enjoyed being back.” Starting in 1992, Brandy went 254189 as Anderson’s head coach with six Top 10 city fi nishes His 2002-2003 team was a league champion featuring future Illinois football player Chris Norwell. As a player, he was a three-year starter and captain on teams that won the 1980-81 and 1981-82 Hamilton County

League crowns. Brandy was inducted into the Anderson Hall of Fame in 2008. He hopes to play a little faster with some pressure defense, hoping to develop relationships with players that will play extremely hard for him. “That’s something I’ve learned over the years,” Brandy said. “If you can get high school kids to do that. You have a fi ghting chance. There’s a lot of diff erent ways to win but you’ve got to have guys that are willing to play really hard and are committed to what you’re doing, whatever that is.” His coaching career began in 1983 in the Forest Hills School District at the middle school level, he then coached freshman ball at Turpin, then at Anderson, then Anderson’s junior varsity and fi nally the varsity beginning 28 years ago. Anderson’s last winning season was 2016 when they went 14-9. DeLotell had led the Redskins the last seven seasons. “Hopefully it will work out for Anderson High School,” Brandy said. “I want to do well for them and the kids”

Bitter endings for several softball seniors and teams Scott Springer and Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

As the new coronavirus restrictions blew into Greater Cincinnati with the March wind, it's been well-documented that many seniors have been left with the empty feeling of spring sports seasons never taking place and canceled graduation ceremonies. While there are many stories to be told, here are several OHSAA softball superlative feats that never took place.

Milford There have been rumblings that summer club team softball could start in June, but that doesn’t ease the pain the Milford Eagles have of missing what may have been a promising season. Milford has won fi ve of the last seven Eastern Cincinnati Conference titles and would have given defending champ West Clermont a run for it 2020 (the two teams split last season) after a 19-7 (12-2) 2019 run. Lily Copp (.340) and Hillary Huff er (2.28 ERA) were coach Christy Gregory’s departing seniors. “I was hoping to be the one to tell my players but (Governor) DeWine made the announcement instead of OHSAA,” Gregory said of the spring stoppage. The upside for Milford is that much talent returns. Olivia Craycraft led the ECC in hitting as a sophomore in 2019 at .557. Sam Boothby is an NKU commit who hit .486 and was 14-3 pitching in 2019 as a sophomore. Classmate Emily Allphin batted .452 with fi ve homers and 41 RBI. Taylor Stemmerding, Brooklyn Stewart and Kaitlyn Bibb were all poised for big years as sophomores. Craycraft should be a name to watch as she led the league in hitting, hits, triples, on-base percentage and steals in 2019 in addition to being second in her class with a 4.65 GPA. The family athletic DNA is also solid as sister Margaret was a diver at Princeton, brother Graham ran cross country and track at Bellarmine and brother Harris runs cross country and track for a Boston College club team. “She’s a natural outfi elder but we needed her as a shortstop,” Gregory said. “You would never ever know she’s not a true shortstop. She’s very athletic and very dedicated and just wants to be the best at anything she does.

No shot at redemption for Lakota East Perhaps no team was itching to get back on the ﬁ eld than Lakota East,

which played in last year's Division I state championship, the last offi cial OHSAA-sanctioned softball game to date. The Thunderhawks were three outs away from a state championship, but ultimately fell to Louisville in a grueling two-day aff air in Akron last June. Lakota East was returning a slew of contributors from last year's 30-win club, including eight juniors who were penciled into the state championship game lineup. Lead-off hitter and third baseman Cassidy Hudson led the squad last year in batting average (.523), hits (58), doubles (12), home runs (4) and stolen bases (16). Middle infi elders Hailey Holtman and Abby Beckham each hit over .430 with Beckham owning 41 hits and 35 RBI while Holtman knocked in 23 with 18 extra-base knocks. Jess Church was the team's starting right fi elder and Emily French knocked in a dozen, going 12for-22 at the plate. Outfi elder Madison Cureton and fi rst baseman Ali Lewis each hit just under .400 with 23 RBI in 2019. Center fi elder Kylee West hit .360 with a club-best six triples and swiped 15 bases. Catcher and cleanup hitter Abby Niehaus was also coming back. She hit .473 and knocked in 42. Lakota East was vying to become Greater Cincinnati’s fi rst-ever Division I state softball champion since the OHSAA switched to a divisional format in 1990. Cincinnati had sent a Division I team to the state tournament in 23 of the last 24 years, but they have combined to go 0-8 in state fi nals. Now, there's no telling if 2020 would've been the year that streak was snapped.

Senior Kaila Nutter would have played softball for West Clermont High School. She has a 4.64 GPA and is committed to play for Case Western Reserve University where she will dual major in data analytics and mathematics. THANKS TO KRISTA NUTTER

Anderson softball was primed for big year Ellie Caldwell, a three-year starter for Anderson, will narrowly miss out on breaking the school's all-time career hits record. The shortstop and catcher hit .500 as a junior in 2019 and was a fi rst-team Eastern Cincinnati Conference selection. Caldwell, who is considering a walk-on opportunity at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, fi nished just three hits away from the school record. She was also one of a half-dozen, seniors returning, a group that was hoping to deliver an ECC championship. Last season, the Redskins fi nished fourth. In 2018, a loss to Loveland in the regular-season fi nale kept them from See SOFTBALL, Page 2B

Anderson's Ellie Caldwell looks in from second base late in the game against Western Brown.

Ken Craycraft joins his daughter, Olivia, after Olivia’s Cincy Slammers won the season-ending championship softball tournament in Columbus. Craycraft also plays for Milford High School and led the ECC in hitting in 2019, only to be shut down in 2020.

Top 10 moments of Flying Pig Marathon Shelby Dermer

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The 22nd running of the Flying Pig Marathon was postponed until October due to concerns surrounding the novel coronavirus pandemic. Flying Pig races were originally scheduled to run from May 1 to May 3. Organizers off ered three options to participants who were supposed to run this weekend: Run a spring virtual race, postpone to the October date or contribute race registration fees to the Flying Pig Charities. To date, more than 5,000 are doing the virtual spring races and registration for those is open until May 10. Registration for the fall Flying Pig races opened up May 11. To commemorate those participating in the spring virtual Flying Pig races, Pig Works CEO and President Iris Simpson Bush and the Flying Pig mascot (both of whom greet every fi nisher at the Swine Line of the Marathon) are off ering personalized videos with a virtual high fi ve for $22 with all proceeds benefi ting UC Health COVID-19 Crisis Response Fund and the Over-the-Rhine (OTR) Chamber Small Business Fund. In honor of what would've been race week, here are the Top 10 moments in the 22-year history of the Flying Pig Marathon.

10. Flying Pig named best marathon in the country Earlier this year, the Flying Pig Marathon was voted the No. 1 marathon in the country by RaceRaves, a website dedicated to reviewing races throughout America. The Flying Pig also took home awards for Top 10 Best Themed Race in the United States, Top 10 Best Weekend Experience in the U.S. and the Green Lion Award, which is given to races committed to expanding and maintaining their sustainability eﬀ orts.

9. Amy Robillard dominates the women's marathon In 2011, Mason native Amy Robillard started a streak where she won every Flying Pig event she entered. Robillard started with wins in the half marathon in 2011 and 2012, then jumped to the full marathon with back-to-back wins in 2014 and 2015. She jumped back to the half marathon in 2016 and won again. That same year, Robillard represented Greater Cincinnati at the U.S. Olympic Marathon trials in Los Angeles, California. "When she ﬁ nishes a marathon, she (Robillard) can talk as much as I can," Simpson Bush said.

winning a share of the league crown. "It's extremely disappointing, especially since we had six returning seniors, and most of us had been playing together since we were in ﬁ fth grade," Caldwell said. "This year we had a strong shot at the ECC title. I thought this could've been our year." Caldwell, Tori Madden, Ali Madden and Stella Wulker were all vying to set new school records in hits, home runs, RBI, doubles, triples and batting average. Ali Madden and Wulker split pitching duties last season, combining for 17 wins and a 2.49 earned-run average. All four play on the OFC Heat in the summer and are hoping to get one last chance to suit up together. The summer season has not been cancelled yet, providing some hope. "We're just trying to stay positive," Caldwell said. Anderson did get in a friendly scrimmage with Turpin on March 13 before spring sports were shut down. "It wasn't about the result but about playing softball against our neighborhood rival and friends, one more time," Anderson head coach Dick Purtell told The Enquirer's Scott Springer.

Williamsburg Rick Healey’s Lady Wildcats brought most of the town with them to Akron in 2017 when they won the Division IV state title. Winners of the last six SBAAC-National titles, Williamsburg may have been on the verge of another title team in Healey’s eyes. Instead, seniors Kara Bailey, Hailey Speeg and Jacee Rohne, starters on the state title team as freshmen, miss out on their ﬁ nal swings along with senior Lexi

8. The Sergio Reyes dynasty Sergio Reyes is the most decorated runner in the 22-year history of the Flying Pig Marathon. The Palmdale, California, native fi rst burst onto the scene with a fi rst-place fi nish in 2009 that was just 12 seconds off the event record. Reyes returned to Cincinnati again and won in 2012, 2013, 2014 and in 2016 to become Flying Pig's only fi ve-time champion. "He (Reyes) was always such a professional," Simpson Bush said. "As competitive as he was, I remember one of the years he was running and they were neck and neck. At one point, when the other guy knew he was losing, they shook hands on the course — two competitors running and vying for win shook hands. His (Reyes) professionalism and sportsmanship were always kind of an inspiration."

7. 20th anniversary in 2018 brings in record crowd The 20th annual Flying Pig Marathon powered by Proctor and Gamble celebrated a record crowd of 43,127 for total weekend participation. The number of attendees was a 13% increase from 2017 and represented all 50 states and more than 20 countries. The event was highlighted by wins from Wisconsin native Aaron Viets and former Hyde Park resident Caitlin Keen. Keen said she used to watch the Flying Pig Marathon on television when it passed by her house and dreamed about one day winning it. "I'm so happy. It means everything," an emotional Keen told the media after crossing the ﬁ nish "swine."

6. Fire on Mile 22 On May 4, 2008, the Flying Pig was celebrating the ﬁ nal day of its 10th anni-

Lindsey. Healey has tried to keep the team’s spirits up via social media but has kept the stoppages in perspective. He’s also preparing a video for the squad. “You’ve traveled a rough road and there’s a ton to hold your head up for,” Healey has told the team. “Hopefully you look back at this and say, ‘What could’ve been?’ or maybe in some of their eyes, ‘What should’ve been?’” Kara Bailey was coming oﬀ of a seven homer 65 RBI 2019 and was First Team SBAAC with Speeg. Healey was Coach of the Year and junior Madi Ogden who overcame tremendous odds to have a varsity career was Player of the Year. Ogden hit an eye-opening .700 in 2019 with 15 home runs and 85 RBI. She also pitched 24 victories and struck out 171 in 139.2 innings. She’s had recent interest from Morehead State and had hoped for more looks in a junior year that never happened. “Sometimes you’re dealt really good hands in life and sometimes you’re dealt really crappy hands,” Healey said. “It makes you better or bitter. It’s how you deal with that hand. I sincerely hope this group of kids graduating are better from it and not bitter from it.” The silver lining for Williamsburg is the return of Ogden, Paige Fisher (.521), J.J. Thatcher (.446), Brenna Vining (.421) and some promising incoming freshman for 2021.

Mason The Comets of Liann Muff were 24-4 last season and 15-3 in the GMC. They lost to Division I state runners-up Lakota East twice in extra innings, the last one a 5-4 defeat on May 22, 2019, in the last offi cial game Mason played. Sydney Carter was GMC Player of the Year as a sophomore, hitting.576 with 40 RBI. Seniors this season, Tori O’Brien (Ohio University) was coming off a .511 season

versary when an early-morning fi re along Mile 22 of the course forced lastminute changes and created a marathon to remember. Simpson Bush's "quiet time," where she drives the course early in the morning before the races begin was interrupted when she got to Adams Landing. "This fi re vehicle went fl ying past me," she remembers. "A minute later, I get the call that there's a four-alarm fi re on the course." Originally, the fi re marshal told her it would be a four-hour delay, which would've canceled the events. But organizers and police were able to quickly re-route the course through West Peters Street and Schmidt Landing so runners could avoid the fi re. The change was made eff ortlessly and resulted in only a 15-minute delay. "It just came off seamlessly and it was because our police and special events unit worked hand-in-hand with us. They're so invested in the events they do that they'll do whatever it takes to add to the success," Simpson Bush said.

5. Amazing turnout after Boston Marathon bombings The 2013 Boston Marathon bombing happened less than two weeks before the 15th annual Flying Pig Marathon. Pig organizers didn't know if the bombing would scare people away from participating. The opposite would happen as multiple Flying Pig events reached capacity because of the last-minute rush of registrations. "I kind of get goosebumps thinking about it," Simpson Bush said. "When your two weeks out, if you're not trained for a marathon, you're not going to be able to do one. But people started signing up in droves. We were worried about losing volunteers, but people were begging to come and help any way they could. It was just amazing." Participants donated $50,000 to the One Fund Boston, wrote notes of support at the Expo and purchased #BostonStrong shirts and bracelets, with proceeds going to the bombing victims.

4. The comeback of Alison Bedingfi eld Delgado Alison Bedingfi eld Delgado won the 2005 Flying Pig Marathon. Five years later, a traumatic head injury from a horrifi c bicycle accident nearly took her life. Delgado didn't know if she would live, much less run another race. She recovered from the injury and fi nished third in the 2011 Tri-State Running Company 5K. Four years later, she would log a third-place fi nish in the 2015 Flying Pig Marathon and later won the Tri-State Running Company 5K in 2018.

with 21 steals, while Carsyn Snead hit .500 in 2019. Sophomore Val Allen would have returned after a .384 freshman season.

West Clermont The Wolves were the defending ECC champions going 19-6 (13-1) with the one league loss to Milford 5-4 on April 10, 2019. Kaila Nutter, a West Clermont High School senior softball player had impressive ECC stats at .576 with four homers and 25 RBI but also provided that little extra something for the team that doesn’t appear on the stat sheet. During the 2019 season, Coach Throckmorton literally nick-named her “Clutch Kaila” for always coming up with the game-changing plays when needed most. Her four home runs in 2019 were all game-changers – including her three-run homer in the seventh inning against McNicholas. She also had game-changing or winning home runs against conference opponents Milford and Kings, and again in the postseason against Wilmington, a game-winner that put the Wolves up 3-2. Many of her 25 RBIs in 2019 were game-changers and momentum swingers as well, including a two-run double for the 3-2 win against Anderson to set the team up to win the ECC Championship. Other seniors missing their seasons include Paige Suggs, Sydney Barger and Kinsey Ventura (.468, .467 and .463, respectively as juniors).

Western Brown The Lady Broncos would have been a force again as they lost just three seniors oﬀ of their 2019 roster which went 25-1 and featured SBAAC-American Player of the Year Sydni Barnes. Barnes has signed to play at Northern Kentucky and was Division I First Team All-State

"To have her come back and when she came across that ﬁ nish line, it was just so emotional," Simpson Bush said. "Ali's comeback on a medical, personal and running level was just an amazing story that will always stick with me."

3. Bridesmaid no more: Kerry Lee prevails Anderson High School cross country coach Kerry Lee fi nished in second or third place in six straight Flying Pig Marathons before prevailing for a win in 2017. Lee won with a time of 2:53.55 after fi nishing as runner-up in 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2016. "I have worked for it every year, and every year I think I wanted it more," Lee said after the race. Simpson Bush added: "Who did not get so emotional when Kerry Lee, after being the bridesmaid all of those years, fi nally did it?"

2. Cecil Franke sets Flying Pig record Cecil Franke has been the answer to a popular Pig-related trivia question for over a decade now as the holder of the event's record time. Franke, who had a distinguished high school and college running that included a 1986 Indiana state championship in the 3200-meter and school records at Ball State University, won the 2006 Flying Pig in 2:20.25, which has stood for the last 14 years.

1. Flying Pig debuts in 1999 Fresh off starting his Paycor payroll processing company in 1990, Bob Coughlin, himself a runner, had the vision in 1997 to organize the board of what eventually would become the Flying Pig Marathon. After two years of planning, the board developed the Flying Pig Marathon with more than 6,000 participants at the starting line in May 1999. "I was obviously a little concerned. I was a runner, but had never been, in that capacity, somebody who had helped plan for a fi rst event," said Simpson Bush, who was a board member at the time and the general sales manager at WCPO. "It went off without a hitch." Runners World Publisher George Hirsch attended the race and called it, "a textbook example of how to start a new race." "That was pretty memorable," Simpson Bush said. "We felt like we were off to a wonderful start. The time was right and we were being welcomes and accepted into the running industry." The event has grown substantially to more than 40,000 participants from all 50 states and more than two dozen countries and more than $16 million donated to charity.

recording a 0.49 ERA with 281 strikeouts. She needed 262 more to reach 1,000 for her career She also was denied the chance to be the career leader at Western Brown in several oﬀ ensive categories. She had 33 doubles, the record is 34. She had 137 hits, the career record is 165. She had 100 career RBI with the record being 139. She had 95 career runs scored, the record is 130. She also has 63 career wins as a pitcher with the record at 66.

Taylor The Cincinnati Hills League has been run by Taylor in recent years as the Yellowjackets have won the last three conference titles outright. Taylor went a perfect 14-0 against CHL foes in each of those three seasons, so they'll take a 42game conference win streak into the 2021 campaign. In 2019, Taylor outscored opponents 338-32 en route to a 24-4 record and a district championship game appearance. Taylor would've returned the CHL's top three hitters in seniors Ashley Bucher and Brooklyn Linneman and sophomore Sophia Thoma. Thoma led the league in hitting as a freshman last season with a .554 batting average with Bucher right behind her at .533. Linneman ﬁ nished at a .518 clip while leading the conference in home runs (8) and RBI (50). Senior Sophia Reagan was also coming back after a junior season that saw her hit .478 with 27 knocked in and 13 doubles. Fellow freshman phenom Kylie Burdick hit .463 with seven long balls in 2019. Burdick was 6-0 in the circle with a 1.14 earned run average and a perfect game. Linneman, the reigning CHL Athlete of the Year, was the club's primary pitcher who ﬁ nished 18-4 with a 0.55 ERA while averaging nearly two strikeouts per inning (225 in 113 IP).

Memorial program at the Old Bethel Church canceled Ole Fisherman George Rooks Guest columnist

Howdy folks, Well, I am still in the recliner and using the walker. The back seems to be some better each day. I am not happy with this, but you have to take what happens to you. I had several calls about the raised beds for gardening and that is good. There will be more people planting a garden, big or small, this year. There is nothing like going to the garden and picking fresh produce. It tastes so good and you know what is in it. The green houses are selling plants like they have never done before. The Grants Greenhouse on State Route 131 will have ripe tomatoes in about a month and cucumbers in a couple of weeks. I have been raising a garden since I was about fi ve years old using a hoe and push plow. I also have used a horse and fi ve shovel plow to cultivate. Talked to Sherry’s Lake and the fi shing is a little slow but the biggest fi sh caught today was a 25 pound

shovel head. That is a big fi sh. Then I talked to Cedar Lake and the lady said fi shing was good. The biggest catfi sh was 60 pounds. I bet that person had a fi ght on their hands. The preacher, J.D., called me this morning to ask how I am. He asked if I would like to have a meal delivered to me today so I said fi ne. The Living the Word church here in Bethel serves hot food every Saturday. They have the people come to the driveway canopy on the side of the church in their cars and get the food. The church has been serving food for several years. The folks that go there appreciate it. I always helped by serving the coff ee and milk. Paula always helped by serving water and lemonade. When the Catholic Church would hold their food pantry, Paula and I would help with the produce that was given out to the folks. Those that receive the food sure enjoy it. The Living the Word church is holding their Sunday services at the Star-Lite Drive-in. They always have a big crowd. The Nazarene church here in Bethel hold their services in their parking lot. The good Lord gives them the answer as to where to serve.

I am a little late on this, but the churches will have National Day of Prayer. All the preachers will be having prayer. The Baptist preacher here in Bethel has recovered from back surgery and is doing good. He is a good preacher. I don’t like to cancel the Memorial program at the Old Bethel Church here in the park, but we will do that this year. Maybe we can have something later in the year with the Kinner Express, so watch the paper. Last Saturday, the park shut the ramps down for some time due to the traffi c trying to get in on the lake. This virus has a lot of folks fi shing. That is good. The fi sh will help the food bill and they are good and healthy. Now, Mr. Chester and Miss Chessie are doing fi ne. Chester is sleeping either on my lap or on the couch. Chessie is outside after she eats her breakfast. Chester likes to go outside in the evening. Chessie waits a little while before she wants out. They have their ways. Start your week by praying and praising the good Lord. God bless all... More later...

Zoomin’ with Anderson Township Senior Center.

Clermont Northeastern Leo Club member Dakota Hunt, a freshman, sorts empty pill bottles into boxes. PROVIDED

COMMUNITY NEWS Senior center connects, adapts during COVID-19 crisis Senior citizens in the Anderson Township area have found themselves subject to physical isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic, including missing the camaraderie of seeing one another at the Anderson Township Senior Center building. The good news? Though physically away, members are still connected to their senior center friends. Right from the onset of the stay-in-place orders, phone calls began to all 450 members, placed mostly by senior center staff and advisory team members. Most Senior Center members reported family or close friends were supporting them eff ectively (with followup calls frequently resulting in longer conversations with folks still reporting they are doing fi ne). When it became clear that this would be a lengthy time away from “business as usual,” the staff and advisory team became proactive. Weekly emails sharing resources along with contact phone numbers and websites were fi rst. Then the Zoomin’ video conferencing commenced! Daily “coff ee hour” times began in early April using Zoom technology. With the Zoom connection, even some seniors without computers could call in and connect. “People enjoyed the opportunity to catch up with their friends, hear jokes, sing songs, receive weather reports, share tips about grocery shopping and more,” said Claire O’Connell, activities manager. Classes also began again in early April, using Zoom. Supported by staff and volunteers, senior center members used the online resource to exercise, meditate, work on balance and self-defense techniques, learn about history and more. “Members love seeing each other on-screen during internet Zoom sessions and interacting again with their friends, even if from a distance,” O’Connell said. “We’re so grateful to Cincinnati Area Senior Services and the families, friends, and volunteers who are supporting our members at this time,” said Township Administrator Vicky Earhart. “We look forward to the day when we can welcome everyone back to the center. In the meantime, we thank those that have virtually welcomed us into their homes.” Steve Long, Anderson Township Senior Center

A staff member at Columbus Cancer Clinic models one of the face shields printed by Natalie Clark and her team of 3D printers. PROVIDED

Loveland resident 3D prints face shields for Ohio charitable clinics Natalie Clark, a Loveland resident, has been putting her 3D printer to good use: she and her family have been printing 3D face shields for Ohio’s free and charitable clinics. In response to the shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) for front-line healthcare workers, the family began creating face shields for Cincinnati-area hospitals in early April. But Clark, who is passionate about supporting charitable clinics, recognized that these facilities were also in dire need of PPE. Clark teamed up with the Charitable Healthcare Network, a state association for safety net medical organizations, to distribute the shields to clinics throughout the state. Clark rallied together a team of 3D printers to create 500 face shields and 300 surgical mask tension reliev-

PROVIDED

ers for CHN’s member clinics. “On behalf of our 3D printing volunteer group, we appreciate the opportunity and are honored to come alongside and support Charitable Healthcare Network community clinics,” stated Clark. The Charitable Healthcare Network’s 51 member organizations, which operate over 60 clinic sites statewide, continue to serve patients in any capacity that they can during the coronavirus pandemic. Doing so has required fl exibility on the part of these clinics, which rely on volunteer labor and are supported through grants, private donations, and state funding. Many, including Grace Clinics of Ohio and Cleveland Ibn Sina Clinic, have implemented telemedicine services so that patients can continue to be seen from a safe distance. Others, such as Columbus Cancer Clinic and Toledo/Lucas County CareNet, have begun to utilize their staff and volunteers to deliver lifesaving medical supplies, food, and other resources to their patients. Whether clinics are dropping off medications at a patient’s home or seeing a patient at a clinic facility, PPE such as face shields, gloves, and masks help prevent the spread of COVID-19 from providers to patients and vice versa. “It is not unusual during times of crisis, to see people band together and give generously of their time and talent,” said Deb Miller, Executive Director of the Charitable Healthcare Network. “Because of the thoughtfulness of Natalie and her group, we were able to deliver 500 face shields to clinics around Ohio.” Included among the 70,000 plus patients served by charitable clinics are many who are recently unemployed, and those with ongoing chronic medical conditions that require close monitoring and treatment. Some of the uniquely vulnerable patients seen include the homeless, undocumented, and those who have insurance coverage but are unable to fi nd a provider in their community. Due to the recent spike in unemployment, free and charitable clinics anticipate a drastic increase in the number of patients they serve. According to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, over a million Ohioans have fi led for unemployment in the past six weeks. For those on employer-sponsored health insurance plans, unemployment not only represents a loss of income: it can translate into a loss of health insurance in the midst of a global health crisis. “As we work together to meet the needs of the uninsured during this pandemic, we are also looking ahead and helping free and charitable clinics prepare for the expected increase in patient volume,” added Deb Miller. “We know it’s coming.” Christianna Barnard, Charitable Healthcare Network

Rotary Helping Hands supports Operation Give Back during pandemic The Rotary Club of Northeast Cincinnati donated $2,500 in April to support the food pantry of Operation Give Back. OGB is a non-profi t that supports students and families in the Blue Ash area with food, after school tutoring, and school supplies. With the closing of schools, businesses, and furloughs to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the demand for food assistance is higher than ever. This donation is the fi rst of a new program the Rotary Club program calls Helping Hands. By working with local non-profi t organizations, the Club will supply funds to help meet the needs of individuals or families that are often overlooked in the Club’s service

area including Sharonville, Montgomery, Loveland, and Blue Ash. Greg Miller, Rotary Club of Northeast Cincinnati

Giving back to the community The staﬀ of The Lodge Retirement Community are considered “essential employees” and as such we have been blessed to still be working. We also realized that many in the community have not been so lucky. Many are struggling and we wanted to do something to give back to the community. The Lodge hosted a food drive and ended up donating 18 boxes of food and $185 in gift cards and cash to the Life Food Pantry in Loveland. We have been truly blessed to have such a great team of employees who not only take great care of our residents, but also give back to our community as well. Denise Keller, The Lodge Retirement Community

SCHOOL NEWS Service to community: Leo Club has the prescription

ed into a clinic. The project was placed on half until school resumed in August, even as more bags of pills arrived. Eventually, the Leo Club gained access to an unused computer lab, and members were back to work with a goal of having 500 bottles ready to deliver by Christmas. They worked two and three days a week, cleaning bottles and sorting them by diameter, height and color. So engrossed were members in the project that they didn’t realize they more than doubled their goal, and over the holiday break delivered 1,040 bottles to Matthew 25. The eff ort is ongoing. They will also continue with other projects – winter clothing drive, hurricane relief drives, volunteering with CNE Elementary PTO, CNE Education Foundation, YMCA, Clermont-Mercy Hospital, a local church, a local daycare, a nursing home, the American Diabetes Association and Special Olympics. “One of their favorite activities (is) the food-packing events with A Child´s Hope International. Parents have come to volunteer alongside the Leos. They have fun volunteering as a family together, and the students start a friendly competition to see how quickly they can fi ll the bags. They feel good after this project,” Campbell said. Seniors in the district interact with Leo Club members during the annual holiday luncheon. Earlier this year, the club hosted its third Father-Daughter Dance for CNE Elementary School students. More than 240 students and dads attended. A desire to help others is the Leo Club foundation. “To be a Leo, one does not need to be an athlete or scholar. One just needs to want to help make the community a better place and have a heart to serve others,” Campbell said. “For our school, Leo Club is a place where anyone can fi nd a sense of belonging. Everyone is valued for the talents they bring to the club, but more importantly, they are simply valued as a person.” Dick Maloney, Clermont Northeastern Schools

There are many ways to measure community service: number of people helped, number of volunteers, hours spent helping. Clermont Northeastern High School’s Leo Club counted one bottle at a time in 2019 and ended up with 1,040. For its eff orts, the club was named Ohio’s Leo Club of the Year for the second time. A Leo Club is the high school version of a Lions Club. CNE’s Leo Club is sponsored by the Northeastern Lions Club, based in Owensville. “Serving the World One Community at a Time” is the Lions Club motto, and the CNE Leo Club takes that to heart. More than 40 students participate in the club, which is open to all students. A parental signature on the application is all that’s needed to join; involvement is all that’s needed to stay. Rhonda Campbell, CNE’s advisor, said her club includes students who attend vocational schools or College Credit Plus programs off campus, and some who have transferred to other schools. Campbell is in her sixth year as Leo Club advisor, and shared a number of stories about club projects, including the one that helped them win the 2019 honor. In 2018, Leo members were helping serve Thanksgiving dinner at the Owensville Commons Assisted Living Facility when a staff member there asked if the club would take pill bottles residents had been saving. They fi lled a 30-gallon trash bag without realizing the task ahead. This is from their application for the 2019 award: “Matthew 25: Ministries (in Blue Ash) accepts CLEAN pill bottles, as in NO STICKY RESIDUE at all. None. Period. In addition, they must be washed, dried thoroughly, and mated with an appropriate cap. Then they need to be sorted by size and color and bagged in gallon-sized Ziplock bags. M25M sends the bottles to medical teams working in disaster areas or on medical missions to Third World countries.” Members sorted through the bottle and went to work in March 2019, with limited success. The labels on the bottles were not easily removed. Eventually they stumbled on the solution – Goo Gone – but even then had to set up an assembly one of sorts. Members would rub the entire bottle with a cotton ball soaked in Goo Gone set the bottle aside, and then after repeating the process on fi ve or six more bottles, then start over, trying to remove labels by hand. “We reapplied the Goo Gone to any part of the label that did not come off , set it aside again, and worked our way down the line. Some bottles needed one application; others needed four or fi ve.” Each bottle also needed a matching lid, and individual pharmacies use diff erent bottle and lid combinations. More than a month (and 40-plus service hours) after beginning work on the bottles, they had 100 to donate. Then, the club learned that the space it had been using for work and storage – and old home economics kitchen at the high school – would be convert-

New Richmond Schools teacher earns the TORCH Shocked and humbled are two words Locust Corner Elementary School Carlie Fahrnbach uses in describing her feelFahrnbach ings about being named an Ohio TORCH Award recipient. “There are so many teachers around our district and around the state who will never be recognized, to this degree, for what they do,” Ms. Fahrnbach said. “Every teacher in the state of Ohio is a teacher who shows character and heart.
