Introducing a Cincinnati couple and their exotic mushroom farm Jamie Clarkson Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

NEW RICHMOND, Ohio – The thing that Emalee and Pete Richman love the most in this world is one another. But mushrooms are a close second. This couple uprooted their lives in March 2020 to pursue these two great passions. They quit their jobs, moved from North Carolina to New Richmond and started a gourmet mushroom farm together: Rich Life Farm and Fungi. They had been mushroom hobbyists for years, but this endeavor was only partially thanks to their fascination with fungi. It was grounded in their desire to spend time together. Before, Emalee worked night shifts at a nonprofi t while Pete worked in horticulture during the day. They felt like they were always missing each other. “We’ve been having this dream for a while, of wanting to work with each other,” Emalee said. “We were sick of giving the best of ourselves to other companies and other people. We want to give it to ourselves and each other.” Emalee and Pete knew they wanted to make a change. It meant spending months transforming a pole barn into a growing lab. It meant growing batch after batch without selling to pass inspections. It meant sacrifi cing their previous lives and careers. In March 2021, Rich Life was approved to sell its exotic mushrooms by the Ohio Department of Agriculture. Pete and Emalee now spend their days together raising mushrooms, selling them at seven markets and supplying eight restaurants.

The growing growing operation They began growing oyster mush-

Pete and Emalee Richman own Rich Life Farm and Fungi, a 10 acre farm in New Richmond. They started growing gourmet mushrooms in May 2020 and selling in March of 2021.

rooms in a little greenhouse tent they kept in their laundry room years before their business. Over time, their setup advanced to labs in their spare bedroom and makeshift greenhouses in backyard sheds. The scientifi c Pete was always intrigued by the experimental research in fungi, such as its uses as a leather alternative or even medicine. Emalee loved to use them in the kitchen.

These days, Rich Life Farm and Fungi specializes in the culinary side of fungi. They have grown a dozen varieties of mushrooms to be cooked and devoured. On the side, Emalee and Pete partnered with the folks at Garden State Mushrooms in New Jersey to cultivate varieties that have only existed in the wild before. Rich Life is one of only a handful of small mushroom farming operations to take on the beefsteak

polypore. It's a thick, reddish mushroom that fans out from the trunks of trees. It's still in the early stages of growth in their lab as they experiment to see the best way to produce these wild mushrooms. They had to do a lot of learning before they could start producing mushrooms on a large scale. Emalee and Pete read. A See MUSHROOMS, Page 4A

Coroner: Carbon monoxide contributed to death of UC women’s soccer player Quinlan Bentley Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

An autopsy found that carbon monoxide was a contributing factor in the drowning death of a University of Cincinnati student-athlete in May, according to the Hamilton County Coroner's Offi ce. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources said the body of Allyson Sidloski –a 21-year-old UC women's soccer player from Strongsville, Ohio – was recovered around 1 a.m. on May 23 at William H. Harsha Lake in Clermont County. "It is my opinion, based on the autopsy fi ndings and the information available to me at the time of the autopsy that the cause of death is drowning and the contributory cause of death is carbon monoxide intoxication," Deputy Coroner Russell Uptegrove wrote in a June 17 opinion. The Hamilton County Coroner's Offi ce provided autopsy service in this case for the Clermont County Coroner's Offi ce. ODNR said Sidloski was hanging off a swim plat-

form attached to a boat when she fell into the lake on May 22. Offi cials said she was not wearing a life jacket. University offi cials said Sidloski had recently completed her sophomore soccer season, though because of an injury, she was unable to play during the 2020

season, which took place during the spring of 2021. Her collegiate debut was against East Carolina University in 2019 and she played in the university's American Athletic Conference Tournament opener against Southern Methodist University, the release states. Sidloski was the third member of her family to play collegiate-level soccer. She was also a high-performing student in the classroom, having earned recognition for achieving a 4.0 GPA in multiple semesters. "I am absolutely crushed for the Sidloski family, our soccer team and the University," soccer head coach Neil Staff ord said in a statement at the time. "There's no words for dealing with a tragedy on this scale. Ally was such a pillar of everything that's right about our program." A memorial fund honoring Sidloski was set up on GoFundMe shortly after her death: https:// bit.ly/2TbBrpF. So far, it has raised nearly $109,000 – more than exceeding its goal of $5,000.

Talk of critical race theory stirs protest, counterpoints at Forest Hills Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The superintendent of Forest Hills School District, repeating what he said at a May board meeting, told a gathered crowd June 28 that critical race theory will not be taught and has not been taught in the district's schools. The board meeting at Nagel Middle School in Anderson Township drew dozens of people with signs denouncing what they call critical race theory with other parents leading a book drive to talk about diversity, inclusiveness and being positive. Parents Michelle and Jerry Rolfes carried the sign "CRT is not justice. It is false and divisive." Michelle Rolfes said they are adoptive parents of children of another race. She added the words including white privilege, oppression, microaggressions and implicit bias are part of critical race theory. "There is nothing in those terms other than division and hatred,” she said. Parent Lisa Staton said the debate over critical race theory, which is not taught in the schools, is a fabricated issue. She said she helped run the book drive next to the CRT demonstrators to support the staff and teachers. People come to Forest Hills because they are great schools and the CRT talk is dragging the district's name through the mud, she said. "I hope we continue to focus on diversity, inclusion and belonging," Staton said to the board during the public comment portion of the meeting.

Jim Schultz told the board and superintendent it sounded like they were listening to concerns about critical race theory. He said schools should stick to teaching fundamental subjects like reading and math. "I think the social engineering belongs in the home and the church," Schultz said. Superintendent Scot Prebles said the district will create a citizen advisory group including parents and business representatives to review district initiatives in areas including relationships, wellness and professional development. Critical race theory will not be intentionally taught to students or staff , he said. "Notice I said not intentionally," Prebles said. The superintendent said he wanted the discussion to turn back to student success. "Are we going to continue to talk about critical race theory or talk about students?" Prebles asked. Prebles, in the May board meeting, said critical race theory is a complex doctoral-level theory that has not been used in staff training or teachings. Critical race theory can mean many things, but it is not endorsed by the administration or in use in the district, he said.

Snooty Fox Continued from Page 1A

When she started, Speigel says, “career clothes” were a huge part of her sales, and Izod was the label people were clamoring for. “People would take them in the dressing room and we’d fi nd shirts with the alligator cut out. Same with the very fi rst designer jeans. We had to almost lock up Gloria Vanderbilt jeans.” Now, “Lululemon is the new Izod,” she says. “And you can’t sell a two-piece women’s suit.” And that was before the pandemic forced us into an athleisure obsession. When COVID-19 restrictions relaxed and Snooty Fox stores were able to reopen in June 2020, Speigel said the city was ready to resell. Her stores set records that week for the number of items brought in.

Parent Mark Ragase said he is concerned about the night's discussion after the meeting. "Being intentional about teaching diversity is probably an important reality," he said. The district is not that diverse and

empathy is important, Ragase said. The district encompassing Anderson Township and Newtown has become one of the latest places where some people are taking issue with what they refer to as "critical race theory." The 6 p.m. protest used a fl yer to gather people under the message "Stop Critical Race Theory." Some Ohio Republicans are seeking to ban teaching "critical race theory." There was a previous protest of critical race theory at Forest Hills in May. The theory has been described by an Ohio University professor as a way of understanding how racism shaped life in America. Earlier in June, a Northern Kentucky school district school board voted to ban the teaching of critical race theory. School districts, including those in Cincinnati and Cleveland, have adopted "anti-racist" policies in the wake of George Floyd's murder to promote inclusion, diversity and equity. Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – June 28 (updated June 29). Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates.

People gathered Monday outside Nagel Middle School with signs denouncing critical race theory and demanding it not be allowed in teachings or staff training at Forest Hill School District.

There were lines down the sidewalks, full of women armed with designer dresses and handbags freshly culled from their closets. You remember the purging stage of quarantine, right? “We’ll never see that again,” she says. But just as she could see the shift to stretch pants, she can see the pendulum swing the other direction. “It’s changing back right now. (Shoppers) are looking for outfi ts to go back to work, to go out to eat. They want to get out of those yoga pants.” For many of us, it may be more of a need than want, but it’s a valid point. Online clothing re-sellers are attractive for some re-sellers, with their convenience and reach – but Speigel says there are drawbacks. She sold clothes on a couple of sites to test the process, and was surprised at what was accepted – and what wasn’t. “I was like – really? That’s such a hot item right now.” Speigel maintains Snooty Fox’s knowledge of the market is

the diff erence. Even if that means we’re a little less than fashion forward. “Cincinnati is always a little behind. So, (the fashion industry) is showing jackets again. We’re waiting ‘til the time comes in a few months when jackets are hot here again,” she predicts. “We serve our local market. We’re tuned in to what they want.” As it turns out, what they want is a personal experience. To be able to see and touch a garment. To try it on, buy it aff ordably and sustainably. “Our store is like being on a treasure hunt,” Speigel said. “You never know what you’re going to fi nd.” Kathrine can be seen checking out resale shops looking for dresses with pockets when she’s not hosting Coff ee Break with Kathrine, weekday mornings at 10 a.m. on The Enquirer's Facebook page.

lot. They observed other mushroom farmers. But what proved to be most benefi cial was good, old-fashioned trial and error.

How they do it It begins with the growing medium. Emalee and Pete use a wooden pellet mix that they seal in a biodegradable bag. They purify the growing medium with heat. By doing this, they kill off any unwanted bacteria. Then, they toss in some mushroom culture to the sterilized medium. Think of this as planting the seed in a vegetable garden. They let the culture stew and spread in the air-tight bag for a few weeks. What comes is a white cloudy texture that spreads across the medium. This is mycelium. Next is the fruiting stage. Here, the cloud of mycelium will bloom into the iconic shapes that most people recognize. Emalee and Pete transfer the bags to a new room where they slice the bag open and wait. Slowly, the fungi will fruit and grow through the slices in the bag into bunches of colorful mushrooms. Each variety moves at its own rate. They keep an eye out for the tell-tale signs of ripeness. For a variety like the pink oyster, the cap will fl atten out. For the lion’s mane, the texture will get a little bumpier.

Pete Richman harvests chestnut mushrooms from their fruiting room on their farm, Rich Life Farm and Fungi in New Richmond, June 15, 2021. Pete and his wife, Emalee, grow a variety of gourmet mushrooms. He is harvesting the mushrooms from fully colonized mushroom blocks. They started farming in May 2020. They started selling the mushrooms in March 2021. You can fi nd them at Findlay Market on Saturdays and Hyde Park Farmer's Market on Sunday, plus every other Thursday at the Madeira Market. They also supply to several restaurants in the area. PHOTOS BY LIZ DUFOUR/THE ENQUIRER

Time to harvest. Emalee and Pete slide on respiration masks to avoid the dreaded “mushroom worker’s lung” – a disease farmers can develop from repeatedly inhaling spores released during harvest.

Pathfi nder oyster mushrooms are a good source of fi ber, plant-based protein, and have a variety of vitamins and minerals.

&#)+.*/

With protection, they pluck the bunches of mushrooms and stick them in the walk-in cooler. After about two months from start to fi nish, Emalee and Pete are ready to take their mushrooms to market.

At the end of the workday, the couple mosey from their barn to their home on a wooded hill a few yards away. Tomorrow, they will do the same. It gets tiring. But they are living their dream. Together.

Black pearl mushrooms have an earthy flavor when cooked. Don't toss the stem. Use the entire mushroom.

Where to report sick or dead birds in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana Emily DeLetter Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

As a number of species of birds around Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky have been found sick and dying from an unidentifi ed illness, experts are asking for the public's help. Symptoms of the illness can include eye swelling and crusty discharge, neurological signs, and in some cases, sunken-in eyes. The illness has been found in Blue Jays, Common Grackles and European starlings, American Robins and potentially House Sparrows While the cause of this illness is still being determined, people are asked to temporarily stop feeding birds and clean bird feeders and bird baths with a 10% bleach cleaning solution.

Hot weather speeds up ripening of blueberries Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

It has been hot here on my little patch of heaven. Yours, too? I’m not complaining though. Hot weather speeds up ripening of a special seasonal fruit: blueberries. I was gifted with a basket of these dark blue orbs.

Blueberries are a super food, packed with antioxidants, potassium and vitamin C. The darker the blueberry, the more health benefi ts it off ers. Here’s two of my recipe faves using blueberries. One is an updated smaller batch version of a summertime gelatin terrine. A reader asked for the recipe. “I lost the recipe and want to make the terrine for guests,” she said. The other is a yummy, chunky, blueberry syrup/sauce recipe. Better than the pancake restaurants.

Homemade blueberry and citrus syrup/sauce Adding a squeeze of lime or lemon gives this syrup a bit of tartness. Wonderful packed as a gift with pancake mix. Or over vanilla ice cream or lemon sorbet. Ingredients ⁄ 2 cup sugar

1

1 tablespoon cornstarch ⁄ 3 cup cold water

1

2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (unthawed) A couple good squeezes of juice from lime or lemon, to taste

Instructions In a saucepan, whisk together sugar and cornstarch. Whisk in water. Stir in blueberries and bring to a boil. Cook for a couple of minutes. Berries will start to burst. Stir in lime or lemon juice. Mixture may not look real thick but thickens as it cools. After it cools, pour into jars and cover. Keeps in refrigerator up to a month or so. Warm up a bit before using for topping on pancakes.

Rita’s fruited gelatin terrine I make this lovely terrine in a terrine pan. It looks like a skinny, longer, loaf pan. A loaf pan works, too. For larger batch, double ingredients. If you use wine, you may want to add a bit more sugar, to taste.

Homemade blueberry and citrus syrup/sauce.

Ingredients 2 cups favorite berries – I used sliced strawberries, and blueberries 2 packages unflavored gelatin (two 1/4-oz envelopes) 2 cups bottled white grape juice (100% juice) or white or rose wine ⁄ 2 cup sugar

1 tablespoon or so lemon or lime juice Instructions Arrange fruit in pan. Set aside. Sprinkle gelatin over juice or wine and let sit a few minutes to soften and “bloom.” Whisk gently and the gelatin

should be incorporated, but not dissolved, into the juice. Pour gelatin mixture into saucepan and add sugar. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer and whisk until sugar and gelatin are dissolved. Remove from heat, add citrus juice, and cool, stirring occasionally, to room temperature. Mixture should still be pourable. Gently pour enough mixture over fruit, just enough to cover nicely. This “sets” fruit in a bit of gelatin so it doesn’t float. Chill until fi rm. Pour remaining mixture over fruit (if it jells while it’s sitting, warm up a bit to melt, but let cool before pouring on). To unmold, dip pan in larger pan of hot water for a few seconds to loosen.

Pandemic led to fewer fi nancial aid requests. Where does that leave students?

7A

Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Ariyana Blunt had her sights set on Tennessee State University, a historically Black public university in Nashville. The 2021 graduate from Withrow University High School says she had dreams of being the fi rst of her siblings to graduate high school on time, go to college and get a good-paying job that she enjoyed. “To just start a diff erent lifestyle for our family,” Blunt, 18, says. But in the chaos of COVID-19 and virtual learning, Blunt says, she had trouble getting ahold of her school counselor. She couldn’t ask anyone at home about applying for federal student aid, since her mother and older sister had dropped out of high school early. She missed the deadline. Worry started to set in, Blunt says. She saw her dreams start to slip away. “I really started to panic because I knew, the background I come from, I would not be able to pay (for) college,” Blunt says. “And my biggest fear as a teenager is to have college debt. I was really trying to avoid it.” Blunt is not alone. With less than two weeks before the June 30 deadline, Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) entries were down 3.6% nationwide this year compared to last year, according to an Associated Press analysis of federal data as of June 11. Applications were also down by 5.8% in Ohio, down by 11.6% in Kentucky and down 5.2% in Indiana. At Withrow, applications were down 50% from last year, an Enquirer analysis of FAFSA applications shows. Across the 16-county Cincinnati region, applications fell by 6.4% to roughly 10,900 students, the Enquirer analysis of federal data reveals. Submissions were down at 72 of 114 schools in the database gathered by AP. Not only is fi lling out the form a necessity to obtain federal student grants and loans, it’s often a requirement for state fi nancial aid as well. Despite the dip in fi nancial aid applications, kids are still applying for college – in fact, more of them than ever before. According to the Common Application, a nonprofi t membership organization that connects applicants to nearly 900 higher education institutions, more than 640,000 additional applications were submitted through Common App this year compared to last year. That’s more than an 11% increase. Brent Shock, vice president for enrollment management and student success at Miami University, says these numbers indicate a disparity in the type of students funneling into higher education. “What the worry is is that we’ve lost – and by we I mean society, our community, our nation – has lost a highly vulnerable group of students that may not get into the admission/college enrollment cycle,” Shock says. Students who need fi nancial aid to go to school and kids who require extra, face-to-face guidance to make their dreams of pursuing higher education a reality may have fallen through the cracks during the coronavirus pandemic, Shock says. He thinks the culprit is likely virtual and hybrid learning models.

Low student engagement brought fewer applications Though many school districts were remote in the fall months – when both the Common App and FAFSA opened – the majority of local schools returned to in-person learning this spring as staff and students began to receive COVID-19 vaccinations. Emma Steele, senior public relations

Ariyana Blunt graduated from Withrow University High School in May 2021. After graduating, she applied for Ohio’s Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), which has enabled her to partake in a 12 week information and technology program this summer at Kable Academy. She hopes to use this internship to one day get a job in cybersecurity. ZANE MEYER-THORNTON/THE ENQUIRER

manager at the Common App, says fi rstgeneration applications were down slightly from last year in early April, but since then have “ticked up slowly.” There was a 4.7% increase year-overyear of fi rst-generation applicants, though Steele says 30% of this year’s total Common App entries were fi rst-generation students compared to last year’s 31%. “From what we can tell, fi rst-generation and fee waiver students waited (until) later in the season to apply,” Steele says. Fee waivers are often given to students fi lling out the Common App who demonstrate fi nancial need. Ericka Copeland, president and CEO of the Cincinnati Youth Collaborative, says she, too, noticed a decrease in engagement earlier in the pandemic that has since started to rebound. The organization has many programs for Cincinnati youth, including mentorship opportunities and classes focused on college and career readiness. “Let alone the opportunities to do FAFSA or ACT prep, college searches and that – students weren’t even showing up for class,” Copeland says of the pandemic days. “The academics is the fi rst priority.” Some of the families Copeland works with have never had to fi le a FAFSA. She says the application is “monstrous,” even for her. Casey Jaynes, director for middle and high school learning support services at Boone County Schools, also can attest to the “daunting” task of fi ling for federal aid. FAFSA applications were down 20% compared to last year at Boone County High School. “It’s a process,” he says. “I have a master’s degree and was a principal for seven years and it was all I could do to get my three kids’ FAFSAs fi lled out so they could go to school. So if you’re a new person to the area or you have a language barrier or anything like that, I mean, it’s hard.” Jaynes says Boone County Schools battled high levels of disengagement during remote learning, which could have contributed to the FAFSA decline. He also says students seemed pessimistic about college in October because many local universities were operating virtually.

Many Boone County Schools’ families also deal with language barriers, Jaynes says. Others lost jobs during the pandemic, and since FAFSA collected 2019 tax information this year there could have been fears that the application would not accurately depict families’ needs.

‘We don’t want (students) to lose out on even $500’ Filing for FAFSA is important for every family, says Nancy Aniskovich, counseling department chair at Turpin High School. Waiting too long to apply could hurt students’ chances of receiving substantial aid. Aniskovich says she encourages students to apply as soon as they can once FAFSA opens each year on Oct. 1. “As the FAFSA applications are being completed schools are starting to dole out that money. And it is a thing that eventually the money is going to run out,” she says. Turpin is one of the rare schools in the Cincinnati region that went against the trend this application season. Its fi nancial aid applications were up more than 21% from last year. Neither Aniskovich nor Turpin principal Dave Spencer could say for sure what led to the dramatic increase in the school’s FAFSA applications, but both spoke to the overall success of in-person learning during COVID-19. Aniskovich says the high school has developed “best practices” for communicating the importance of FAFSA with students and families. She says Turpin counselors provide separate presentations about the application process with parents and students and then bring it up again during one-on-one meetings with students at the beginning of their senior year. “It’s need-based aid, but we say to them don’t second-guess it. If you think that maybe your mom or dad makes too much money and they won’t qualify for aid, do it anyway. Carve out a half-hour, 45 minutes and just sit down and do it because there’s no downside to it,” she says. The parent presentations are crucial, Aniskovich says, since students can’t fi ll out the application alone.

“Every college and university gets to decide what qualifi es as need. So just because the government says this is what we think your expected family contribution should be doesn’t mean that those, especially small, colleges will agree with that,” Aniskovich says.

Looking to the future Blunt says many of her friends also missed the FAFSA deadline or other due dates for post-graduate opportunities while in remote learning. “It was just so stressful this year, honestly,” Blunt says, “because everybody had to scramble when we got back to school in January to get stuff done that really should have been done in October.” Her panic subsided slightly when she found out about another aid opportunity in her second bell educational opportunities class. Ohio’s Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) programs don’t pay for college, but they do help with various training programs. Through Cincinnati Youth Collaborative’s Jobs for Cincinnati Graduates, Blunt applied for WIOA and was accepted into a 12-week information technology program this summer at Kable Academy. he will graduate this September with her certifi cation and, she says, hopefully, job prospects in the fi eld of cybersecurity. Blunt says she’s excited about this new path, though it’s diff erent from her original dream. She says she used to think college was the only route to a good-paying job and successful career. And she still might go to a university, someday. For now, though, Blunt is still basking in the glow of her late May graduation at Fifth Third Arena. Her grandmother, sister, aunt and uncle got to watch her walk across the stage. It was “extremely emotional,” Blunt says. “I feel like if you don’t go through anything, then you don’t learn anything. So I had to take all of the challenges that I’ve been through in my high school career and take them as lessons and use them for my future,” Blunt says. The Associated Press contributed.

Which takes priority: Paying down debt or saving? Allworth Advice Amy Wagner & Steve Sprovach Guest columnists

Question: H.G. in Butler County: Can you help? I have about $20,000 in credit card debt and not much in savings. Should I focus more on paying down the debt or building my savings? A: If it makes you feel any better, others are in the same boat: three 1 in 3 Americans have more credit card debt

than savings, according to Bankrate.com. And while it’s obviously not an ideal situation in which to fi nd yourself, what’s important is that you’ve recognized the problem. Now let’s help you take some steps to solve it. First and foremost, you should prioritize building an emergency fund. Why? Because life happens. And if you don’t have one, you’ll be forced to turn to credit cards, likely perpetuating the problem. Saving any little bit helps. But, eventually, the fund should be able to cover three to six months’ worth of expenses, and it should be easily accessible (meaning using a plain old savings account that’s not earning much interest is absolutely fi ne).

Next, take advantage of a 401(k) if you have access to one through work – especially if it off ers a match. By saving enough to get the match, it’s like having someone in the fi ght with you. Plus, money deposited in retirement accounts is generally safe from creditors. Now it’s time to think about your debt. There are two diff erent approaches: the snowball method (paying down the card with the smallest payment fi rst, while still paying the minimum on everything else); or the avalanche method (tackling the card with the highest interest rate fi rst). We would recommend the avalanche method since it’s more fi scally prudent, but the snowball method can be benefi cial if you’re someone who needs

to see quick results to stay motivated. Here’s The Allworth Advice: Digging yourself out of this hole will likely be diffi cult, and these are only a few of the steps needed to make it happen. But it can be done. Just be sure you’re dedicated to making behavioral changes as well, such as paying off your credit cards in full every single month. You don’t want to go through all this hard work only to fi nd yourself right back at where you started. Good luck!

OH residents scramble to get last Walking Liberty Rolls

Once Ohio residents got wind that Ohio State Restricted Bank Rolls filled with Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s were being handed over, there was a mad dash to get them. That’s because some of these U.S. Gov’t issued silver coins are already worth hundreds in collector value. “It’s like a run on the banks. The phones are ringing off the hook. That’s because everyone is trying to get them before they’re all gone,” according to officials at the National Mint and Treasury who say they can barely keep up with all the orders. In fact, they had to impose a strict limit of 4 Ohio State Restricted Bank Rolls. So, if you get the chance to get your hands on these State Restricted Bank Rolls you better hurry because hundreds of Ohio residents already have and you don’t want to miss out. You see, the U.S. Gov’t stopped mint-

ing these Silver Walking Liberties in 1947 and there can never be any more which makes them extremely collectible. And here’s the best part. The rolls are unsearched so there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value. That’s why at just the $39 state minimum set by National Mint and Treasury it’s a deal too good to pass up. But you better hurry because these Ohio State Restricted Bank Rolls are the only ones known to exist and Ohio residents are grabbing them up as fast as they can. That’s because they make amazing gifts for children, grandchildren and loved ones. Just imagine the look on their face when you hand them one of the State Restricted Rolls — they’ll tell everyone they know what you did for them.

■ GOT ‘EM: Residents all across Ohio who get their hands on these State Restricted Silver Walking Liberty Bank Roll are definitely showing them off. That’s because they are the only ones known to exist. And here’s the best part, these Bank Rolls are loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty coins some dating back to the early 1900’s and worth up to 100 times their face value so everyone wants them.

Last State Restricted Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls go to Ohio residents

Ohio residents get first dibs on last remaining Bank Rolls loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value for the next 2 days STATE DISTRIBUTION: A strict limit of 4 State Restricted Bank Rolls per OH resident has been imposed

“It’s a miracle these State Restricted Bank Rolls even exist. That’s why Hotline Operators are bracing for the flood of calls,” said Laura Lynne, U.S. Coin and Currency Director for the National Mint and Treasury. For the next 2 days the last remaining State of Ohio Restricted Bank Rolls loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties are actually being handed over to Ohio residents who call the State Toll-Free Hotlines listed in today’s newspaper publication. “I recently spoke with a numismatic expert in United States of America coins and currency who said ‘In all my years as a numismatist I’ve only ever seen a handful of these rarely seen Silver Walking Liberties issued by the U.S. Gov’t back in the early 1900’s. But to actually find them sealed away in State Restricted Bank Rolls still in pristine condition is like finding buried treasure. So anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these Bank Rolls had better hold on to them,’” Lynne said. “Now that the State of Ohio Restricted Bank Rolls are being offered up we won’t be surprised if thousands of Ohio residents claim the maximum limit allowed of 4 Bank Rolls per resident before they’re all gone,” said Lynne. “That’s because the dates and mint marks of the U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars sealed away inside the State of Ohio Restricted Bank Rolls have never been searched. But, we do know that some of these coins date clear back to the early 1900’s and are worth up to 100 times their face value, so there is no telling what Ohio residents will find until they sort through all the coins,” Lynne went on to say. And here’s the best part. If you are a resident of the state of Ohio you cover only the $39 per coin state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury, that’s fifteen rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties worth up to 100 times their face value for just $585 which is a real steal because non state residents must pay $118 per coin which totals $1,770 if any coins remain after the 2-day deadline. The only thing Ohio residents need to do is call the State Toll-Free Hotlines printed in today’s newspaper publication before the 2-day order deadline ends. “Rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued silver coins like these are highly sought after, but we’ve never seen anything like this before. According to The Official Red Book, a Guide Book of United States Coins many Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars are now worth $115 - $825 each in collector value,” Lynne said. “We’re guessing thousands of Ohio residents will be taking the maximum limit of 4 Bank Rolls because they make such amazing gifts for any occasion for children, parents, grandparents, friends and loved ones,” Lynne continued. “We know the phones will be ringing off the hook. That’s why hundreds of Hotline Operators are standing by to answer the phones beginning at 8:30 am this morning. We’re going to do our best, but with just 2 days to answer all the calls it won’t be easy. So make sure to tell everyone to keep calling if all lines are busy. We’ll do our best to answer them all.” Lynne said. The only thing readers of today’s newspaper publication need to do is make sure they are a resident of the state of Ohio and call the National Toll-Free Hotlines before the 2-day deadline ends midnight tomorrow. ■

Are these Silver Walking Liberties worth more than other half dollars:

Yes. These U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties were minted in the early 1900’s and will never be minted again. That makes them extremely collectible.

SPORTS Locals among 2021 Midland Redskins 18U team seeking Connie Mack title Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

AMELIA - A year removed from being limited to local round-robin competitions due to the coronavirus pandemic, the 18U Midland Redskins baseball organization is looking forward to defending its Connie Mack World Series title. Since last season's tournament was canceled, the elite of all of the Midland teams will seek its fourth straight championship and 17th overall in Farmington, New Mexico. The Redskins last won two years ago in 2019 coming out of the consolation bracket. In 2018, Cal Conley of West Clermont (now with Texas Tech) and Lane Flamm (Xavier) and Zade Richardson (St. Louis Cardinals organization) of New Richmond played key roles in bringing home the trophy. In 2017, Luke Waddell of Loveland (Georgia Tech) was part of the title run with Conley and Flamm. Now, along with a who's who of out-of-town players, Midland's top squad again has some familiar high school faces who seek the winning dogpile in New Mexico in late July. Some will then head to prestigious college programs. Infi elder Lauden Brooks of McNicholas was on last year's squad confi ned to the Midland Complex in Amelia. The Greater Catholic League-Coed Division Player of the Year and Kentucky signee now is joined by Rockets pitcher Brady Hopkins (Bellarmine). Another nearby player is Anderson's Josh Overbeek, the Eastern Cincinnati Conference Player of the Year who will head to Pitt. "I'm excited to be part of the team this year," Overbeek said. "There's a lot of good dudes, a lot of guys from out of town. I'm learning. We're here to play ball and that's it. It's pretty much 24/7/365. Trying to win (championship) four this year." Overbeek, like the rest of the Redskins, is getting acclimated to the wooden bat this summer. Helping him along is teammate/roommate Owen Blackledge out of North Canton Hoover, who will head to TCU. Blackledge is the son of former Penn State and NFL quarterback Todd Blackledge. "For right now, we're all focused on this," Overbeek said. "It's cool seeing the guys get behind each other." Also from the ECC is West Clermont's Trevor Conley, brother of Cal, who topped the league in hitting and will play at Howard College in Texas, an hour and a half from Texas Tech where Cal plays. Michael Conte is a pitcher from Walnut Hills who will next suit up at Central Michigan. "This is my second year with Midland and I think we have more than a legit shot at winning this Connie Mack," Conte said. "The biggest thing for me is learning from all these guys. They're at the point they are because they're good at something. For me, it's what can I learn from all these guys?" From the Greater Catholic League-South there is Clay Burdette of Moeller (Ohio State commit) and La Salle's Devin Taylor (Indiana commit), who is also a second-year player with the Redskins. Taylor was GCL-South fi rst team as a freshman in 2019, missed 2020 like everyone, and missed a couple of months of

the most recent season due to injury. The sweetswinging 17-year-old lefty is hoping for a successful summer. "Every day you have to work for it," Taylor said of winning a championship. "They're not just going to give it to people who don't really deserve it. Whoever deserves it goes. My goal is to work my hardest every day, do what I can to be the best for the team." GCL-South Pitcher of the Year William Jaun of St. Xavier was also selected to be on the 2021 roster. "Coming from the GCL-South you're always taught that's the best league in Ohio," Jaun said. "You get down here and you get matched up with the best of the best. It's been an honor to compete with the best of the best in everyday practice and the guys you're lining up against across on the other team. It's an honor to learn from other dudes who are really talented." Unfortunately, Jaun recently suff ered an injury and is out for the time being. He is heading to Cornell of the Ivy League where he hopes to resume his playing career as a two-way player upon recovery. Former Oak Hills player Cam Brandt is an infi elder on the roster who plays at Northern Kentucky but can be included due to his birthday. Fenwick pitcher Carter Earls and Vandalia Butler catcher Boston Smith are both University of Cincinnati commits on the team. From the Greater Miami Conference, strikeout thrower Evan Whiteaker of Lakota East is also an Indiana commit like La Salle's Taylor. Whiteaker had 78

strikeouts in 41.2 innings with a 2.02 ERA for the Thunderhawks. "I've been playing for Midland since I was 12 and I've been to a million Redskins games," Whiteaker said. "Just hearing about Farmington and that experience and being part of a team that could possibly win a fourth in a row is a great thing to be a part of." Coached by Dave Evans, the Redskins have their eyes on the prize again in northwest New Mexico where they have an automatic bid as Connie Mack defending champions in late July. The team is no longer controlled by the Hayden family who sold to St. Louis businessman Matt Shadow over the winter. Shadow runs Bandit Baseball of St. Louis and his team will become the Midland Bandits after this season with the current Midland teams in Ohio retaining their names. "It's a program that you know has great history," Shadow said in March. "I look at it as the New York Yankees of youth baseball. You can't let something like that just leave. It's an opportunity that I think is amazing. I'm grateful to the Hayden family." The Midland history includes names many will recall with Cincinnatians Barry Larkin, Ken Griff ey Jr., Todd Benzinger, Ron Oester, Bill Doran, Chris Welsh, Richard Dotson and Jim Leyritz. More recent names include big leaguers Andrew Benintendi, Eric Hosmer, Luke Maile, Scooter Gennett and Matt Harvey.

OHSAA approves 16 teams per region in football playoff s Division III

Scott Springer

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COLUMBUS - The Ohio High School Athletic Association Board of Directors approved the 2021 football tournament regulations April 22 during its April board meeting that included proposals from the OHSAA staff to increase the number of playoff qualifi ers and change the format of the regional playoff s. The number of playoff qualifi ers will expand to 16 schools per region. In addition, the higher-seeded team will host fi rst- and second-round playoff games, instead of only the fi rst round, before they use neutral sites beginning with the regional semifi nals. In the fi rst round, the No. 16 seed will play at the No. 1 seed, the No. 15 seed will play at the No. 2 seed, etc. “Last fall we received overwhelmingly positive feedback when we allowed every team to enter the football playoff s due to the shortened season because of COVID-19,” said Doug Ute, OHSAA executive director. “We know there are some who want to keep the football postseason to a smaller number of schools, but the postseason tournament gives such a positive experience for our student-athletes, the schools and their communities that we felt strongly about giving that opportunity to more schools to make the playoff s. And football remains the only OHSAA sport in which not every team automatically qualifi es for the postseason.” The OHSAA is also exploring adding a strength-ofschedule component to the Harbin computer ratings, which are used to determine the playoff qualifi ers. A strength-of-schedule component could be added in 2022. The site of the state championship games has not yet been determined, but the format will include one game Thursday, Dec. 2, and two games each on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Dec.3-5. During the regional semifi nals and regional fi nals at neutral sites, the higher-seeded team will be the designated home team. The OHSAA then determines the sites and matchups for the state semifi nals. The expansion will increase the number of football playoff qualifi ers from 224 to 448. Last year there were 709 schools in Ohio that played 11-man football. Since 1999, eight schools in each region have qualifi ed for the playoff s. In May 2020, the OHSAA announced that the football playoff s would expand to 12 teams per region in 2021 and the top four seeds in each region would have a fi rst-round bye. Expanding to 16 schools per region does not add a week to the postseason since it was already now six weeks, it simply eliminates the byes. During the fi rst fi ve rounds of the playoff s, Division I, II, III and IV schools will play on Friday nights, while Division V, VI and VII schools will play on Saturday nights.

2021 OHSAA football playoff schedule Oct.29-30 – First round at higher-seeded teams

“Last fall we received overwhelmingly positive feedback when we allowed every team to enter the football playoffs due to the shortened season because of COVID-19.” Doug Ute

OHSAA executive director

Nov. 5-6 – Regional quarterfi nals at higher-seeded teams Nov. 12-13 – Regional semifi nals at neutral sites Nov. 19-20 – Regional fi nals at neutral sites Nov. 26-27 – State semifi nals at neutral sites Dec. 2-5 – State championships, site TBD, one game Thursday, two games each day on Friday, Saturday and Sunday The fi rst Friday of the regular season is Aug. 20, and the regular season will conclude on Saturday, Oct. 23. The computer rankings weren't used in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic with all teams that wanted to participate being allowed in the playoff s. Now, in 2021 the numbers will be back in place proved by JoeEitel.com with more teams qualifying than in previous years by the numbers.

Last year's playoff teams in the 2021 format Based on last year's rankings prior to the postseason, here's what the 2020 playoff picture would have looked like under the new 2021 format:

Division I Here were the DI rankings before 2020 playoff s began: Lakota West No. 1; Princeton No. 2; St. Xavier No. 3 (Bombers were 2020 DI state champs); Elder No. 4; Hamilton No. 5; Mason No. 6; Lakota East No. 7; Walnut Hills No. 8; Moeller No. 9; Colerain No. 10; Sycamore No. 11; Milford No. 12; West Clermont No. 13; Lebanon No. 14; Fairfi eld No. 15 and Oak Hills No. 16. Middletown, the region's 17th school, opted out of postseason play in 2020. Assuming teams don't optout in 2021, one DI Region 4 team would not make the playoff s. As in past years, No. 1 plays No. 16, No. 2 plays No. 15, etc. Under this scenario, Lakota West would have started the fi rst round with Oak Hills, Princeton would have played Fairfi eld, and so on.

Division II Winton Woods was the top local seed at No. 2, Other 2020 teams making it under the 2021 format would have been Kings, Turpin, La Salle (state semifi nalist in 2020), Anderson, Edgewood, Talawanda, Harrison and Loveland. Using last season's records, Little Miami and Withrow would not have made the cut.

New Richmond was the top local seed at No. 2. Also making it would have been Badin, Ross, Hughes, Mount Healthy and Northwest. Monroe, Goshen and Aiken would have fallen short.

Division IV Indian Hill was the top local seed at No. 3. Wyoming was No. 4 and a state semifi nalist. Others making it would be McNicholas, Bethel-Tate, Norwood and Taylor. Batavia would have missed out.

Division V Roger Bacon was the top 2020 seed. Others that would have made it include Blanchester, CHCA, North College Hill, Mariemont, Taft, Madeira, Purcell Marian and Clermont Northeastern. Summit Country Day, Reading and Finneytown would come up short.

Divisions VI, VII Greater Cincinnati teams that would have qualifi ed are St. Bernard-Elmwood Place and Deer Park in DVI and New Miami, Cincinnati College Prep Academy and Lockland in DVII.

Reactions from coaches Statewide, the Ohio High School Football Coaches Association took umbrage with the new plan saying the OHSAA failed to work in good faith with the OHSFCA. The organization proposed 12 teams in January 2020 with the OHSAA approving in spring 2020 for the 2021 season. The April 22 vote was done without consulting the OHSFCA leading to accusations of it being fi nancially motivated. In a 16-team formulation, there are no byes for the top teams.

Local comments Evan Dreyer, Anderson - "I think the 16 teams in the region is awesome for high school football. As coaches, we have to remove our egos. We get more opportunities to be with our team, which is a great thing." Pat McLaughlin, La Salle - "I like the move to 16 teams. I saw no problems with last year's format. I'm a believer of put everyone in and play it out." Jason Krause, Fairfi eld - "I like 12 in region 4 (Division I). We only have 17 teams." Steve Specht, St. Xavier - "My take on the playoff deal is why not let everyone in if you're letting in 12 teams? Give everyone a chance." Nate Mahon, Hamilton - "Not a fan. It makes sense for our region to have only 12. Like previously stated, we only have 17 teams in region 4." Shawn Cutright, Colerain - "Good with eight, OK with 12. Sixteen is too many for our region."

‘I’ve seen more gardens here in Bethel than I thought there would be’ Ole Fisherman George Rooks Guest columnist

Howdy folks, I got my fi rst ripe tomato this week. It was sure good. In roaming around Bethel, I have seen many beautiful patches of tomatoes and a big patch of sweet corn. I’ve seen more gardens here in Bethel than I thought there would be. One feller has a big patch of green onions and gives them to folks around his place. I took the Associate Pastor from Living the Word Church to lunch on Tuesday. I like to invite them to eat with me. Tim is from California and he and his wife have three children. They have worked in other fi elds before coming to

Bethel. They really love the home they bought in Batavia. I talked to Sherry’s Lake and they are catching plenty of fi sh. So far this month, they have caught a 25 pound shovel head and a 26 pound blue catfi sh. Sherry keeps her lake well stocked. The amount of channel catfi sh that have been caught is sure good and folks are going to have some good eating. I talked to Cedar Lake and so far the biggest shovel head catfi sh was a 47 pound caught by my friend Dan. He was quite pleased with that fi sh. I talked to the bait shop in Afton and they will be selling plenty of bait. I have talked to the greenhouses and the Jarman’s Greenhouse close to Felicity is having a plant sale. She has been very busy and they are getting a few ripe maters. They have plenty of other items for you to buy. Now the Grants Greenhouse on State Route 131 are having a yard plant sale

and are picking plenty of ripe tomatoes and cucumbers. The Grants Greenhouses are putting several beehives together as there is a need for more honey bee hives. Bill Sweeney has a stand above Bethel and has ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, eggs and more items. There is a pair of scissors there so you can cut you some fresh lettuce if you want some. He has some ripe watermelon and cantaloupe along with other items. If you have plenty of time, ask Bill how many laying chickens he has and how many honeybees he has. He likes to talk about his farm. On Wednesday, I am taking the Lytles to lunch here at Frisch’s. When I called them, Gladys said good, I don’t have to cook a meal at noon. I always like to eat a meal with Bob and Gladys. The Grange had their picnic at their home a while back. They have been in the Grange a long time the same as me.

At the last Grange meeting Carol Corbin gave a good report. The Grange is sure fortunate to have a lady like her to do the community projects. It is always good to see her at the Grange meetings. I read in the paper this morning about folks in Cincinnati that are planting gardens. When a person doesn’t have a car or isn’t able to drive, they can grow some fresh vegetables. That is important. As I was riding through Burke Park, I met with a couple folks walking on the walking path. The Lions Club had a hand in getting it built. The lady said “are you coming to the shelter house for free food?” I didn’t know about it, but it starts at 6 p.m. and goes until 9 p.m. on Wednesdays. I will hope to make a trip on my scooter to visit. I will write more about the meal at Burke Park on Wednesday evenings in my next article. God bless all ... More later ...

A big cleanup: Anderson Lake dredging begins soon Beginning the fourth week of June, Anderson Lake at Anderson Center on Five Mile Road will be dredged to restore the original capacity of the lake. The dredging process will take four to fi ve months to eliminate buildup of sediment accumulated in the last 14 years. Township offi cials estimate the lake has lost nearly 25% of its holding capacity over time. Mark Magna, facilities manager, said the lake serves an important role in the township’s stormwater control eff orts. During the cleaning process, lake access will be restricted and the road between Anderson Center and Anderson

Center Station will be closed. Outdoor events at the center will also be suspended, but this will coincide with planned construction at Anderson Center Station for the Vantage at Anderson development. Disruptions will only occur for one season, said Steve Sievers, assistant administrator for operations. Built in 2007, Anderson Center Lake was designed to mitigate downstream fl ooding and overfl ows of sanitary sewage into Clough Creek. Magna noted the lake handles a 1,000-acre watershed and has become an intricate part of the stormwater system in Anderson Township. Much neighborhood and business development upstream of the lake was built prior to stormwater detention requirements. As such, it is a holding area for thousands of gallons of water during storm events. The lake fi lls up, then slowly recedes to a pool eff ect as water slowly drains into a stream that ultimately leads to Clough Creek. Since it was built, this structure the lake has a had a dramatic impact on downstream fl ooding and has mitigated fl ooding on water issues with private property through the Sherwood Forest area and along Paddison and Berkshire roads. “When Anderson Center was built, the trustees and staff made a commitment to make this site a visual and social centerpiece for the township, while also being sensitive to nature,” said Trustee Andrew Pappas. “Anderson Lake and its role in controlling, and cleaning stormwater was a key part of that eff ort, addressing a number of issues in the Clough Watershed,” he added. The dredging work is planned to con-

clude in the fall. Anderson Township

Loveland-Symmes fi re chief recognized Otto Huber, Chief of the LovelandSymmes Fire Department, will be honored at the Salute to Leaders event on July 21 at the Oasis Conference Center in Loveland. Huber will be presented with the City of Loveland Award to recognize his commitment to the city. “Chief Huber has dedicated 44 years of his life to the health and safety of the

residents of Loveland and Symmes Township,” said Kathy Bailey, Mayor of the City of Loveland. “He has built one of the fi nest fi re departments in Ohio, maybe the entire country.” Huber was nominated by Bailey and Loveland City Council for his longtime commitment to the city through the Loveland-Symmes Fire Department (LSFD). Huber has led LSFD to earn a Class 1 Public Protection rating from the Insurance Services Offi ce (ISO) in 2021. This is the highest rating any fi re department can receive, ranking LSFD as one of only 383 fi re departments in the US to achieve this prestigious honor. Additionally, under Huber’s leadership, LSFD has earned dual accreditation from the Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI) and the Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS). There are only nine other fi re departments in Ohio that are accredited by CFAI; in fact, LSFD is one of only 11 departments dual-certifi ed both in Fire and EMS. Huber’s commitment to the city goes further. In 2017, three businesses in Loveland’s historic business district were destroyed in a fi re. The city decided there needed to be one voice to guide the recovery, and Huber took on the role without hesitation. He pushed to improve the restored buildings’ safety by installing sprinkler systems, increasing street access to the buildings, and adjusting overhead power line locations. Not only committed to the recovery eff ort of the buildings, he dedicated himself to revitalizing the city’s downtown district as a whole. He recognized the opportunity to modify the city’s sidewalk design and encouraged the See COMMUNITY, Page 7B

SCHOOL NEWS CNE holds Senior Awards Night Clermont Northeastern High School’s Class of 2021 had more than 1 million reasons to celebrate during its fi nal days in school. That’s how much scholarship money the 120 now-graduates earned, and the school celebrated a small portion of that amount during its Senior Awards Night May 14. The program was another small step away from the challenging 2020-2021 school year, as students, family, friends, school staff and representatives of local organizations gathered in the high school gymnasium, and while the number of awards was down from past years, because of the pandemic, the achievements noted were no less impressive. High School Principal T.J. Glassmeyer welcomed the crowd and praised the community involvement signifi ed by the scholarships. “It is great to be able to have in-person events to recognize our amazing seniors once again,” Glassmeyer said. “We are incredibly humbled to have to work in a community that comes together to support and lift up our students.” he related an experience from earlier that day that reinforced the quality of a CNE education. “This morning Mr. (Scott) Houp, our assistant principal, and I were interviewing teachers for an opening we have next school year,” Glassmeyer said. “Several of them asked why we chose to work here. I shared what our families and the scholarship organizations who are here tonight already know: we have a phenomenal, phenomenal group of seniors, and students in general, who work incredibly hard each and every day, who care about each other, the school and their community, and who live by the Rocket Way. They are responsible, respectful, dedicated, and display pride each and every single day.” Glassmeyer then introduced each of the scholarship presenters, several of whom had CNE ties. Steve Vastine, of the Clermont Northeastern Alumni Associ-

ation and a 1971 CNE graduate, noted that he had been sitting in the same stands 50 years earlier, and then promoted his group. “We have our dinner every year and we bring in all of the classes, so for you seniors out there, come this year. You’re alumni. You’re welcome (to attend),” Vastine said. The Alumni Association presented four $1,000 scholarships, an increase over past years, and was able to do so despite having to revise its fundraising eff orts. The group uses a raffl e to fund much of the scholarship money. “I would like to see that doubled next year, so you’re going to see us out and about,” Vastine said. Mike Means, master of the Hamer Masonic Lodge No. 228, is a 2001 CNE graduate and Newtonsville native. That made his presentation all the more personal. “Our lodge, in particular there in Owensville, has given $500 every year for a scholarship for Clermont Northeastern itself,” Means said. “That is because we are located right there in Owensville. We are in the school district. That is part of our commitment to the community that we operate in.” A committee of three members judges the applications and chooses the winners for the lodge, which also adjusted its fundraising activities. Alyssa Ferguson won the $500 scholarship. “We raised $12,000 in two weekends just for Salvation Army. It’s just part of what we do, give back to the community, help community members improve themselves, and just to be involved and give back as much as we can to make things better than everybody,” Means said. The lodge also hosts a “trunk or treat event each year, and has several members who are coaches, both at the high school and in the community. Vivan Poe of the Clermont County Bar Association also noted the joy of being at the event. “I’m glad to be to be presenting it in person this year because last year we had no opportunity to do that at any of our schools,” she said. The Bar Association presented the

largest award of the night, a $3,000 scholarship to Emma Stephan. These Clermont Northeastern seniors were recognized at Senior Awards Night May 14: Jakob Ansteatt Guy.
