Surrogate friends:

‘Yes, my wife is pregnant. No, it’s not mine’ Keith BieryGolick Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Amy Polly, Gloria Settelmayer and Amanda Greenberg grew up in the same small town of Goshen Township, Ohio. As the years went by, their relationship grew. In 2017, Polly volunteered to be a surrogate for Settelmayer after Settelmayer had trouble carrying a viable pregnancy. Recently, Greenberg volunteered to do just the same. AMANDA ROSSMANN, THE ENQUIRER/AMANDA ROSSMANN

Gloria Settelmayer cries like she’s pregnant – laughing one minute, wiping away tears the next. You’ll have to forgive her, though, because her friend from high school is pregnant.

And that friend is carrying her child.

Settelmayer greets Amanda Greenberg with a smile at her Goshen Township home in May. The two have been friends for years, even though they joke about how mean Settelmayer was back in school. This year, their friendship has evolved into something more, just when Settelmayer needed it most.

Already a mother of three, Greenberg wears loosefi tting clothing because she just came from school, where she teaches third grade and doesn’t want to prompt questions about gestational surrogacy. Greenberg is 14 weeks pregnant.

Settelmayer touches Greenberg’s belly.

“You’re showing,” she says.

This is the fi rst time Settelmayer almost cries today.

It won’t be the last. A few minutes later, she cries while looking through a scrapbook she once made for her sister-in-law, Amy Polly. Polly grew up with Settelmayer and Greenberg. In 2017, Polly was the one pregnant with Settelmayer’s child. Settelmayer has done this before.

She just never thought she’d be doing it again.

Born in a small town in Clermont County, Settelmayer always wanted a big family. Her husband is an only child and both of his parents are gone. But each pregnancy with their two boys got harder and harder.

It wasn’t just throwing up nine times a day. It was seizures and medications. It was miscarriage after miscarriage, both early in pregnancy and late.

In 2017, it looked unlikely that Settelmayer could have another successful pregnancy. She wanted to try See SURROGATE, Page 2A

Special Olympian Johnny Vilardo loves his role as Milford’s ‘unoffi cial mayor’ Erin Glynn Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Johnny Vilardo's favorite part of the 2014 Special Olympics was not being the fi rst Special Olympian golfer to represent Ohio in national competition, nor even his gold medal win by 17 strokes.

It was the surprise parade Milford threw to welcome him home.

Johnny’s sister-in-law, Amy Vilardo is the city's offi cial mayor, but long before she was elected Johnny was known as the unoffi cial mayor of Milford.

“The other mayors come and go but not Johnny,” Johnny's brother Ralph Vilardo said. “Johnny is a true ambassador for the community. Everyone I know has a Johnny story.”

Johnny was born and raised in the city of Milford, which straddles the counties of Hamilton and Clermont. He graduated from Milford High School in 1981. He’s worked as a bagger at the Milford Kroger for 23 years, a job he said he likes because he gets to meet and chat with a lot of people.

“As one of Johnny's siblings, we don't have names. We are ‘Johnny's brother.’

The family is very proud that of that,” Ralph said.

Johnny has represented Ohio in two Special Olympics. He won the gold medal in the 9-hole golf event in Trenton, New Jersey in 2014 and the silver medal in the 18-hole golf event in Seattle in 2018.

Man died by suicide after months of harassment working at Kroger, lawsuit says Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Evan Seyfried died by suicide March 9. In a lawsuit fi led last week, his family and his attorneys say his managers at Kroger relentlessly harassed him, trying to get him fi red for months leading up to this death.

The lawsuit says he was ridiculed for wearing a mask in the early days of the pandemic, was taunted for his political views, was given the nickname “antifa,” had his work sabotaged, was stalked outside his home, was sexually harassed and sent child pornography via text message.

Seyfried’s family is suing Kroger and two of the managers of its Milford store on the basis of wrongful death, conspiracy, intentional infl iction of emotional distress, retaliation and 11 other claims.

His lawyers, Austin LiPuma and Jon Allison, called the working conditions Seyfried endured “disturbing, dangerous, and deranged.” They say Seyfried fi led complaints and some of his coworkers even sought help from the union on Seyfried’s behalf, but Kroger did nothing to protect him despite having policies in place that should have.

Seyfried was expecting to be fi red but was also worried his managers and their allies would frame him for a crime like stealing from the store or possessing the

child pornography they had sent him, the lawsuit states.

After 19 years with Kroger and months of harassment, the lawsuit states Seyfried had a “transient episodic break” throwing away his possessions and wandering the streets of Cincinnati for several hours before his parents found him.

That night, Seyfried, who had no prior history of mental illness, according to his lawyers, agreed to go to the hospital in the morning for help.

But never got there.

“Around midnight, Evan told his father that [his managers] were going to ‘get him’ and that ‘things would get ugly,’” the lawsuit states. “These were the

again, but her husband didn’t want to put her through it.

“I felt like I couldn’t do my job,” Settelmayer says.

Her husband suggested a surrogate agency, but Settelmayer never felt comfortable. She didn’t want a stranger making decisions that could aff ect her child. She wanted someone she knew enough to trust, and someone who knew her enough to know she might be a little overbearing. Someone who wouldn’t mind being referred to as her “baby momma” in Facebook messages.

Amy Polly, Settelmayer’s sister-inlaw, had been in the delivery room when Settelmayer gave birth before. She knew about the complications, and she consoled her after the miscarriages. She wished she could do something more.

“I wish I could have a baby for her,” she once said.

So that’s what she did. But the idea of surrogacy worried Polly’s mom. Even if it wasn’t her DNA, how could she not grow attached to the child growing inside of her?

“I don’t want you to be sad,” Polly remembers her saying.

The truth is Polly did grow attached to a little girl she called her “belly buddy,” but never in a way where she would regret giving the child away. She was just babysitting, Polly told her kids. She was an oven, she told them.

At the grocery store, people asked her young children if they were excited to become big siblings.

“Mommy isn’t keeping it,” the kids would respond.

In 2017, when Polly went to the hospital for the surrogate child’s birth, Settelmayer did too. They stayed overnight in rooms next to each other. Polly was induced one week after the baby’s due date, and doctors told her she might need a cesarean section. It was a long and tough delivery.

Settelmayer held a leg during labor, and Polly’s husband held another.

“It felt like my head was going to ex-

plode,” Polly says.

When the baby was born, Polly cried.

Not because she was sad, like her mom feared, but because she knew what this moment meant. As she was crying, Settelmayer cut the umbilical cord. And when a nurse took the screaming baby to a warming station, Settelmayer reached over the hospital bed and hugged Polly.

Settelmayer would spend the night with her newborn daughter, feeding her a bottle and holding her close to her bare chest.

Polly didn’t hold her until the next morning.

Almost four years later, Polly talks about watching Settelmayer and her husband hold the baby girl she birthed like a grandparent might. Like someone watching their own kids. Like family.

“It’s amazing,” Polly says.

She turns to Greenberg, the mother of three who is now pregnant with Settelmayer’s fourth child.

“You’ll see,” she says.

‘Yes, my wife is pregnant. No, it’s not mine.’

For Settelmayer, her daughter’s birth

was a dream come true. A happy ending.

A beautiful story about a beautiful young girl who was everything she could have ever asked for.

But a few years later, she and her husband needed to decide what to do with their frozen embryos.

They could move them into longterm storage, dispose of them, donate them to science or give them to another family.

They could also use them for themselves.

Settelmayer, a 37-year-old English teacher, dreaded asking anyone to carry a child for her again. She’d been given such a gift by her sister-in-law, who was she to ask for more?

Her husband again brought up a surrogate agency. This time, Settelmayer even made a few phone calls. But she still had doubts. Until Greenberg came over to swim in her pool one day. Settelmayer told her about the doubts, about her feelings of failure and inadequacy.

“You know I’ll carry a baby for you, right?” Greenberg said.

She didn’t need to discuss it anymore. If only we all had friends like this.

Friends who give up their bodies for nine months. Friends who deal with

Johnny Continued from Page 1A

He was born with a club foot and what would now be diagnosed as mild cerebral palsy and autistic tendencies, according to his sister Susan.

Johnny learned to play golf from his grandfather around the age of 10 and often played with his dad. His dad died three years before he played the winning putt in 2014.

“I thought of my dad when I hit this shot,” he said. “It bounced and went along the green and I said this is for my dad when I made the putt. It was super nice; we had so much fun.”

Johnny still golfs whenever he can at the Cedar Trace Golf Club in Stonelick Township. He said he loves it in part because “you meet people left and right.”

When he’s not golfi ng or working, Johnny follows the Reds and the Bengals’ seasons, volunteers with the Society of St. Vincent de Paul and helps out

with Milford events.

He normally dresses as Santa Claus for Christmas, but was unable to in 2020 because he had COVID-19.

“Johnny's one of the few people I know who when they got COVID actually benefi ted,” Ralph Vilardo said.

That’s because Johnny had blood

last words Evan spoke to his father before he killed himself.”

In addition to notes and documentation Seyfried kept, LiPuma said several brave employees who still work for Kroger have come forward to help Seyfried get justice.

He said a thorough investigation has already taken place and more people have come forward, even recently, corroborating Seyfried’s story.

Kroger offi cials had not replied to requests for comment at the time of this report.

constant questions about a baby that isn’t theirs. Friends who proudly wear a T-shirt that says, “Yes, my wife is pregnant. No, it’s not mine. It’s my buddy’s.”

Friends who tell you you’re stupid for feeling selfi sh for wanting another kid.

Friends who take hormone shots for you, schedule appointments around you, cut back on coff ee and wait to dye their hair until the second trimester for you.

These are the friends Gloria Settelmayer has. And you’ll have to forgive her if it makes her emotional.

Because it’s amazing how easy these friends make surrogacy sound. And they will tell you this says more about Settelmayer than it does about them.

Because it takes a special person to carry someone else’s baby. But more than that, it takes a special person to be surrounded by these kinds of people.

When Settelmayer looks at her daughter, born through surrogacy and now 3 years old, she doesn’t think of failure. She thinks of joy.

She thinks of love. She thinks of the big family she always wanted, and the one she now has.

Because her daughter, and soon her third son, will grow up feeling loved by more than mom and dad. They’ll grow up knowing their parents fought for them and never gave up. They’ll know their mom did what she could – and then some.

They’ll know that life doesn’t always go according to plan, and even when it’s hard, they’ll know that sometimes makes it better.

They’ll know mom will probably cry.

clots in his lung and when the doctors did the X-rays, they found a spot on his kidney, which could metastasize into cancerous cells.

“So by the grace of God, they found it,” Ralph said.

Even kidney surgery did not deter Johnny from celebrating Easter with his family and friends, and later, swapping stories and fond memories with the people of Milford again.

“Milford is a better place because of Johnny,” Ralph said.

Zucchini olive oil cake with citrus glaze: ‘A lovely summer off ering’ Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

This has been a weird summer in our produce gardens.

Usually each summer, two “events” happen simultaneously: lightning bugs/fi refl ies arrive and the zucchini harvest begins.

Recently, granddaughters Eva, Emerson and Ellery spent the night. It was fun helping them catch lightning bugs into jars to put in bedrooms as nightlights.

Magical!

Being good environmental stewards, they released them next morning.

What didn’t happen is the picking of zucchini.

The deer and rabbits have been enjoying a buff et from our gardens, so we’ve had to plant veggies several times.

Zucchini seems to be a favorite The latest are blossoming. I’ve netted them over. Here’s hoping.

But I did receive sever-

al nice zucchinis from a friend.

Enough to make a favorite zucchini olive oil cake.

This cake isn’t real light in texture but not real dense either.

Diff erent than the norm with its blend of spices, and a lovely summer off ering.

Maybe you’d like to try it. Let me know what you think.

As far as other zucchini cake/bread recipes go, I have a double chocolate zucchini cake/bread that I may share again if you want. It’s a cult fave.

And a reader favorite, Susan Zughoer’s blue ribbon zucchini bread.

Whisk everything together. If necessary, add a bit of water if too thick, or a bit more sugar if too thin.

Tip: Why add nuts to flour mixture?

Like dried fruit, nuts tend to sink to bottom of the pan. By tossing them into flour mixture, they stay suspended.

In Cincinnati, where is your car most likely to be broken into? one of the clubs to smash out the windows of other cars.

Two juveniles have also been arrested since the middle of May. Weisman said they were part of a group of eight to 12 teenagers who ride around Over-theRhine and Downtown on rented scooters stealing things out of cars.

The group has also stolen entire vehicles when given the chance, Weisman said.

Weisman said they have even been able to tailgate cars to gain access to private garages with roll-down garage doors.

He said he's deployed offi cers on bikes and Segways to patrol garages and curb the thefts. In other districts, offi cers might leave "report cards" on cars alerting people if they have left any valuables in plain sight.

Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Police offi cials call it the "most preventable crime," yet it has accounted for 11% of all reported crimes this year in Cincinnati.

Car break-ins or "thefts from autos," in policespeak, saw a historic low in 2020 during the COVID-19 stay-athome orders, but just like gas prices they have quickly returned to pre-pandemic levels and even surpassed them.

Year to date "thefts from autos" are up over 30% compared to 2020 and about 8% compared to 2019.

Where do these crimes happen? The short answer, according to Cpt. Doug Weisman, is "everywhere." Wealthy neighborhoods, poor neighborhoods, Downtown and closer to the suburbs.

Business District, which covers the Banks and much of Downtown.

He recently took a count of the thefts from cars in his district and found there had been 104 so far this year. That's a 66% increase over 2019.

Since 2020 is an anomaly, The Enquirer compared year-to-date total from 2019 to this year for all of Cincinnati's neighborhoods.

Walnut Hills has seen a 219% increase. Pendleton's increase is 213%.

Oakley is 89% higher. Corryville and Mount Auburn have also seen spikes over 50%.

Other neighborhoods have seen steep decreases. These include East Price Hill, Mount Washington, Northside, Pleasant Ridge, South Fairmount,

Winton Hills and Westwood.

While Westwood makes the top 10 list, car break-ins have dropped 71% there compared to 2019. It would have taken the top spot that year with more thefts from autos that year than any other two neighborhoods combined.

'Put it in your trunk or leave it at home' Despite the eff orts of police, vehicle break-ins remain common. In several districts, there are more "thefts from autos" than any other type of crime.

Weisman said these are the most preventable type of crime.

"No one can steal anything from you if you don't leave valuables in your car," Weisman said. "Put it in your trunk or leave it at home."

He said in many cases just keeping things hidden and your doors locked goes a long way toward preventing thefts.

As of June 28, there had been 1,680 reported "thefts from autos" in Cincinnati. That's one every two and half hours. This does not take into account the thefts that go unreported.

Scooter gangs and golf clubs Weisman said every leader in the Cincinnati Police Department is working to combat the problem and each neighborhood has its own vulnerable points, so diff erent strategies are needed across the city.

There have been several recent arrests related to break-ins in the Central Business District.

Weisman said Lucas Shackleford was responsible for 20 thefts from autos after he found a set of golf clubs in an unlocked vehicle in The Banks garage and spent the next half an hour using

THE OTTERBEIN DIFFERENCE A Milford man was sentenced in Clermont County Common Pleas Court after pleading guilty in April to eight felonies: three counts of illegal open dumping of solid waste, two counts of illegal operation of a solid waste facility without a license, two counts of violating Ohio EPA environmental protection orders and one count of illegal open burning of solid waste.

Milford man sentenced to 4 years for operating landfi ll with no license, illegal dumping Jennie Key Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A Milford man accused of creating signifi cant environmental hazards on his properties by illegally dumping acres of trash has been sentenced to four years in prison.

Attorney General Dave Yost said Donald W. Combs, 53, was sentenced in Clermont County Common Pleas Court after pleading guilty in April to eight felonies: three counts of illegal open dumping of solid waste, two counts of illegal operation of a solid waste facility without a license, two counts of violating Ohio EPA environmental protection orders and one count of illegal open burning of solid waste.

“Your home might be your castle, but your yard is not your landfi ll,” Yost said in a news release July 13.

The release said the off enses occurred at an unlicensed landfi ll adjacent to Combs’ home in a residential neighborhood at 1779 Parker Road in Milford and at the unlicensed commercial site of his waste hauling business at 1503 State Route 28 in Goshen Township.

The state said Combs also illegally dumped solid waste on another proper-

ty owner’s land adjacent to the State Route 28 site.

For several years, Combs solicited waste hauling business mostly on Craigslist and Facebook, undercutting competitors who factored in the costs of properly dumping solid waste in a licensed landfi ll, Yost said. He illegally dumped thousands of pounds of waste from large roll-off boxes he hauled away for customers cleaning out homes and businesses in the Tristate area.

Some of the piles of waste, which were comingled with construction and demolition debris, were more than 20 feet high at both unlicensed sites. Yost's release says cleanup costs are estimated at nearly $1.3 million.

The criminal investigation was conducted by the Environmental Enforcement Unit at the Bureau of Criminal Investigation, a division of the Ohio Attorney General’s Offi ce, and the criminal environmental cases were handled by prosecutors from Yost’s Environmental Enforcement Section. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency’s Special Investigations Unit also assisted in the case.

COMMUNITY NEWS Duke Energy supports UC Clermont sensory, meditation rooms The University of Cincinnat-Clermont College recently received $10,000 from Duke Energy to enhance Accessibility Resources available to students.

The gift from Duke Energy will be used to purchase items needed to outfi t both a sensory room and a meditation room at the college.

This will allow students with sensitivity needs to reset between classes, helping to improve their academic success and overall experience on campus.

“Most commuter students fi nd the library or student lounge great places to relax with friends or study,” said Meghann Littrell, director of Accessibility Resources, UC regional programs. However, for students with sensory challenges, those environments are not ideal. Over the years, students have been discovered in restrooms, vehicles and hallway corners looking for places of solitude to study, eat lunch, decompress or reenergize.

“The sensory room will support our neurodiverse students by allowing them to utilize coping skills in a safe environment,” Littrell said. “The meditation/wellness room will provide a quiet, dark area with indirect lighting where students with anxiety, autism, ADHD, post-traumatic stress disorder or sensory challenges can decompress when they are feeling the pressure of a fast-paced environment.”

UC Clermont received an initial gift of $100,000 from a private in 2019 to start this transformation project.

Duke Energy’s gift will allow the college to complete this project and open the rooms to students in the 2021–2022 academic year.

“The Duke Energy Foundation works to create powerful communities, and we are pleased to make this strategic investment to enable all students with an opportunity to excel,” said J. Chad Shaff er, Duke government and community relations manager. “The Accessibility Resources program at UC Clermont advances economic inclusion by helping students with disabilities achieve their academic goals and successfully transition to the workforce. Duke Energy is proud to partner with UC Clermont as a key regional partner educating the next generation of leaders.”

Torbeck named next Clermont Parks leader

Joshua P. Torbeck has been named the new executive director of the Clermont County Park District by the county’s Board of Park Commissioners. Torbeck will begin in his new position on July 17.

and recreation industry and currently serves as a regional director in the Great Parks of Hamilton County system, overseeing more than 3,300 acres of parks and nature preserves in the western part of the county.

Previously, Torbeck served as a park manager with Metro Parks of Butler County, director of parks in Berea, Kentucky and as Delhi Township’s director of parks and recreation.

“We believe we have found, in Josh, the leader who will take our park district to the next level,” Dave Anspach, board chairman, said. “The board was impressed with his experience and, most of all, his enthusiasm to get started.”

Torbeck will replace Chris Clingman, who has served as Clermont County’s Park director, since 1999.

Clingman will help with the transition and take on various special project responsibilities within the district.

He will be honored with the William H. Over Leadership Award on July 21 at the annual Clermont County Chamber of Commerce Salute to Leaders dinner.

Historic Greenspace archeological dig area opens to public this summer A continuation of an archeological dig on Greenspace property known for its abundant artifacts will be open to the public this summer for the fi rst time. The site has been home to numerous prior digs, starting in the 1880s.

From July 15 to Aug. 21, new excavations will be ongoing at the site, most of which will be very close to the Little Miami Scenic bike trail. The public is invited to learn more about the project, share their memories of the property and to see current discoveries from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays during those six weeks.

Imagine your home, totally organized!

The excavation is a follow-up event to revisit the work already completed on previous projects, according to Greenspace Inspector Suzanne Clingman.

“The front fi elds of the 109-acre Greenspace includes a terrace along Ohio 32 known by archaeologists as the Turpin site. The site contains the remains of ancient villages and mounds mainly from the Late Woodland and Fort Ancient time periods,” said Clingman.

The dig site property is located on the north side of Ohio 32 and the entrance is just east of Clough Pike.

Parking is available on the west side of the Speedway gas station.

Bob Genheimer, the Curator of Archaeology at the Cincinnati Museum Center, noted that three major excavations have been undertaken since 1885.

Harvard University’s Peabody Museum conducted the earliest excavations of the area and located postholes, wall trench house segments, house basins, trash pits and burial sites on the property.

One of the village areas that Harvard excavated early on will be further investigated to gather key information left behind. Additional work on the Greenspace will explore the Turpin farmstead to better understand the lifestyles of the region's fi rst Euro-American inhabitants.

From 1946 through 1949 and then again in 1969 through 1972, the Cincinnati Museum of Natural History hosted large-scale excavations on the Turpin property. Excavations beginning in the late 1960s focused on additional domestic areas.Ohio State University conducted a small-scale exploration in 2015 and 2016, focused on locating prehistoric houses by excavating wall trenches. The fi ndings of this study revealed information on how village life and agriculture developed in the Ohio Valley and surrounding areas.

The current project is co-directed by Dr. Robert Cook of Ohio State University and Rebecca Hawkins, president of Algonquin Consultants. Dr. Aaron Comstock and Dr. Michael Sherfy are principal investigators for archaeology and history, respectively. Bob Genheimer and other staff from the Cincinnati Museum Center will assist with the project. Project members will be at the site to discuss fi ndings.

According to Cook, “The Turpin site has long factored into the history of American archaeology but suff ered by mostly being excavated before modern methods were developed. By revisiting these earlier excavations, we can greatly increase the usefulness of existing collections without excavating undisturbed parts of the site.”

Great Parks helps in hosting Ohio River Sweep Great Parks of Hamilton County helped in hosting the Ohio River Sweep on Saturday, June 26, as volunteers cleaned the banks of two of its parks that touch the waterway – Fernbank Park and Woodland Mound.

The Ohio River Sweep brings together people at more than 100 locations along the length of the river every year, and is one of the biggest multi-state litter pickups in the country.

Preserving natural resources such as the Ohio River is a key focus of the Great Parks mission. Great Parks continues its longstanding collaboration with the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commision (ORSANCO) on the event.

This year, the Ohio River Sweep took the form of mini-sweeps with approximately 20 or fewer people at each location. Solo volunteers were also encouraged to take part.

The annual Ohio River Sweep involves volunteers from Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois cleaning locations along the river and its many tributaries.

“My goal is to emotionally connect with viewers, striking a chord with personal experiences, expanding interest in life’s possibilities,” he said.

The exhibit runs from July 24-Aug. 3. Laug is holding a reception on Sunday, July 25 from 1-4 p.m. Hours include the following: Weekends 1-4. Tuesdays-Fridays 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Public forum – Pretrial Bail Reform: Light at the End of the Tunnel The pretrial bail system in Ohio, widely criticized as unfair and inconsistent, may be near long-sought reform with bills recently introduced in the Ohio House and Senate. To bring this good news to the public, Woman’s City Club of Greater Cincinnati is presenting a forum with two experts talking about the present pretrial process and the promising reform bills. A prison justice advocate will describe her personal experience with the process.

The forum takes place Wednesday, July 21 at 6:30 p.m. To register to receive the virtual link, the public should go to: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pretrialbail-reform-in-ohio-light-at-the-end-of-the-tunneltickets-161963779023.

Zaria Davis, senior associate with the Pretrial Justice Institute, will speak on the history and current challenges with the pretrial system and how it impacts those exposed to the system. Dr. Davis advocates for safe, equitable, and eff ective pretrial justice practices and policies through racial justice.

Greer Aeschbury, the Organizing Strategist for the ACLU of Ohio in Southwest Ohio, will update us on the bipartisan companion bills in the Ohio House and Senate that would, in part, no longer incarcerate or free people based on how much money they have. The ACLU in Ohio works on civil liberties issues and organizes people to take action.

Chazidy Bowman, Founder of Opportunities People’s Justice Leaders (OJPL), will discuss her husband’s story and the lack of monetary resources and opportunities for bail in underserved communities.

OPJL works to assure that people in prison receive fair and humane treatment and their civil rights are not violated.

Kelly, of Mason, was installed president of the region’s premiere service and business organization in a ceremony that mirrored the Rotary Club of Cincinnati’s determination to meet community and personal needs despite the COVID pandemic.

The installation meeting was a hybrid of in-person and on-line participation through Zoom – a new practice that kept members active during the pandemic’s health and social distancing recommendations.

A review of the past year’s accomplishments included hands-on service projects supporting schools, children’s programs and community food needs, all adjusted to include masks and social distancing. As the COVID restrictions lessen, Kelly is looking forward to expanding service projects and widening the scope of involvement in a post-COVID environment.

“Outgoing president Brett Lebhar did an outstanding job,” she said. “He kept the Club engaged and eff ective during a very tumultuous time, without losing focus of its mission to engage top business and community leaders – in some capacity - in service to the community.”

That passion for service will be the overriding theme of Kelly’s 2021-22 presidency, refl ecting not only the Cincinnati club’s motto “Service Above Self,” but the international Rotary theme for 2021-22: “Serve to Change Lives.”

The Rotary Club of Cincinnati started in 1910, and was the 17th Rotary club formed in the world. Today, Rotary International is a global service and fellowship organization with more than 1.2 million members in 35,000 clubs.

Rotary clubs harness the energy and passion of business and community leaders to meet local and global needs, Kelly said. Rotary International has a mission to eradicate Polio worldwide, as well as bringing schools and clean water to underdeveloped countries. Each club also has local focus areas.

“I was drawn to join the Rotary Club of Cincinnati because of its focus on children with disabilities and its passion to serve and to seek and research sustainable solutions to community needs,” said Kelly.

The Cincinnati Rotary club founded the region’s fi rst school for children with disabilities more than 100 years ago and continues to support students and families at the Roselawn Condon School – which grew out of that fi rst Rotary school. The Rotary Club launched Camp Allyn in 1921 as a recreation camp for children with polio.

Today, the Rotary’s Camp Allyn serves more than 1,000 children and adults with wide ranging disabilities, providing year-round life skills programs as well as recreation through a partnership with Stepping Stones, Inc. “The Cincinnati club’s global perspective was very

Post-COVID-19 rotary president vows ‘It’s about service and collaboration’ Melinda Kelly, a strategic planning and leadership development professional, took the helm of the Rotary Club of Cincinnati in June, with a commitment to deepen community relationships through expanded service projects and collaborations and to build a solid member base through personal and professional support.

“Individual members are our greatest strength,” said Kelly. “It is through our members’ passion to serve that we strengthen the community and each other.”

inviting as well,” Kelly said, citing the club-supported clean water project in Madagascar, support for children and schools in Ghana and solar energy projects in Uganda.

Kelly said the local club will explore the possibility of adding a new international project as well as supporting ongoing projects outlined in the recent strategic plan, which Kelly helped to draft in 2019. That plan set a multi-year focus on strengthening Members, Projects, Publicity and New Members – MPPN. Kelly and her husband, Mike Kelly, are owners/ managing partners of Right Path Enterprises, LLC, which specializes in strategic planning and leadership development for businesses, individuals and organizations. She has a strong educational administration background, has taught at three universities and has been an assistant dean of instruction and manager of testing and assessment at Great Oaks, one of the country’s largest institutes of technology and career development.

Rotary projects support the seven International Rotary causes of promoting peace, fi ghting disease, providing clean water, supporting education, saving mothers and children, growing local economies and protecting the environment. The last was just added, and will have a heightened focus locally this year, Kelly said, as the Rotary Club of Cincinnati expands support of outdoor environmental education projects.

As president, Kelly, also will guide eff orts to develop a club Signature Project to be implemented in 2022, where Rotary members will join corporate workers and others in a community-wide eff ort. “We will plan to harness Rotary’s enthusiasm and passion, along with community eff orts to benefi t the community in a signifi cant way,” she said.

Key events for 2021 include: h On Aug. 7, The 10th annual Believe 2 Achieve auction and dinner will be at Brain Brew Custom Whiskey event center in Newtown. The event supports three disabilities-related charities. h In October, The Rotary Club of Cincinnati will host the Large Club Conference – bringing representatives of 80 of the largest Rotary Clubs in North America to Cincinnati. The last time Cincinnati hosted this event was in 1960. h In December, the Rotary Club of Cincinnati will hold its annual holiday party for students at Roselawn Condon School, serving children with signifi cant challenges.

“We have become stronger as a result of the past year and a half and have turned some of what would have been challenges into opportunities,” Kelly said.

“Many of the processes we created out of necessity will continue because they were eff ective strategies and have added value.

“Emerging from the pandemic, we will continue with our hybrid meetings to meet the needs and requests of our members,” Kelly said. “Each one of us has been aff ected in some way by COVID. Our staying in touch via calls and communications was important and also will continue,” she said.

Other offi cers installed at the June meeting were Steve King of Montgomery as president elect and Doug Bolton of Bellbrook, Ohio, as secretary/treasurer.

Ali Hussain of Mason was installed president of the Rotary Foundation of Cincinnati, the Rotary Club’s philanthropic arm. As Rotary Foundation president, Hussain directs Rotary grant making and fund-raising eff orts, including support of the Rotary’s Camp Allyn and Believe 2 Achieve. Hussain is vice president of US Bank.

New club board members installed were Bill Stille of West Chester and Toni Otchere of Monfort Heights.

For information on membership or attending Believe 2 Achieve, see www.cincinnatirotary.org or call 513-421-1080. Rotary membership levels range from high school, college and young professionals through seasoned business and community leaders.

SPORTS Moeller’s McDonough, West Clermont’s Conley, Loveland’s Waddell picked in MLB Draft Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – July 12.

More Greater Cincinnati baseball standouts were selected on the second day of the Major League Draft after Miami University pitcher Sam Bachman headlined Day 1 being the ninth overall choice going to the Angels.

The locals had to wait until round three just after 2 p.m. July 12 when Tyler McDonough was called as the 75th pick overall by the Boston Red Sox. McDonough hit .339 with 15 homers and 45 RBI for the Wolfpack in 55 games. He was part of the NC State squad that saw their season ended against Vanderbilt in the College World Series semifi nals when the NCAA ruled a game a “no contest” due to COVID-19 protocols. McDonough is listed as a second baseman but primarily played center fi eld for the Wolfpack. The 5-foot-10, 180-pound McDonough has started all three seasons with the Wolfpack and is a switch hitter.

At Moeller High School, McDonough showed his versatility.

West Clermont’s Cole Ayers taken

by New York Yankees in MLB Draft Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Cole Ayers pitched three seasons for Loveland where fellow MLB draft picks Luke Waddell and Cal Conley were in his infi eld. THE COMMUNITY PRESS/SCOTT SPRINGER

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – July 13.

After four baseball players with Greater Cincinnati high school ties were selected on the second day of the Major League Baseball Draft, the fi nal day resulted in just one.

Cole Ayers, a 2018 graduate of West Clermont High School, was taken in the 16th round with the 483rd pick overall by the New York Yankees. The 6-foot-3, 185-pound right-hander was slated to pitch for the University of Cincinnati Bearcats but soon will be on his way to Tampa to fi nalize his contract with one of sport’s most recognizable teams.

“Who wouldn’t want to be a Yankee?”

Ayers said. “If you’re a baseball fan, you’ve got to like the Yankees.”

Ayers most recently pitched nearby Yankee headquarters in Tampa at State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota, a prominent junior college for baseball. In two seasons, he was 8-4 with 114 strikeouts in 87.2 innings and a 3.80 ERA. “It’s unreal competition,” Ayers said of the level of baseball at a southern JUCO. “I played at Kentucky, I played in the Cape (Cape Cod summer league), your

top fi ve hitters in Florida junior college baseball are going to be fi ve pretty good hitters. They’re usually transfers from DI. You’re going up against the best of the best.”

Ayers says his fastball sits 92-94 miles per hour and he’s reached 95. His best pitch is the bender.

“I was in that new draft league they held this summer and they rated my curveball the best in the league for the past fi ve or six weeks or so,” Ayers said.

Ayers was originally drafted by the Houston Astros out of high school in the 36th round in 2018 when the draft lasted 40 rounds. He instead went to pitch for the Kentucky Wildcats where he struck out 19 in 20 innings in 26 appearances with a 4.05 ERA. He then transferred.

At West Clermont, he struck out 50 in 33 innings in his senior year with the Wolves and also hit .380. Prior to that, he was on Loveland’s varsity for three seasons. His junior campaign he was 6-2 with a 2.10 ERA with 38 strikeouts in 40 innings.

That Loveland team also featured Luke Waddell (Georgia Tech) and Cal Conley (Texas Tech) at shortstop and second base, respectively. Conley went in round four and Waddell in round fi ve to the Braves on Monday.

Local prep baseball players having impact with 15U Flames club Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – July 10. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates.

At the end of a summer baseball tournament game at the University of Cincinnati, a team of 16 to 17-year-olds posed for pictures at home plate even though they had lost 9-1.

The team of 15-year-olds that defeated them gathered in the sunset in left fi eld and reviewed their victory. It's somewhat of a routine exercise.

The 15U team of the Cincy Flames is not just another summer league team.

It's full of top-level teens who can drive a baseball but can't drive a car. Head coach Justin Rice tries to remember that when he may have to chastise one for not running out a fl y ball at full-tilt.

"We tried to get the best players in the state of Ohio," Rice said of his team make-up. "They all work hard in the off season and a lot of them had a chance to play varsity. Pretty much everyone on our roster got varsity reps this year. That was something we were real proud of."

Experienced Cincy Flames team Where most ninth-grade baseball players are merely hoping for a roster spot on their school's freshman team, or maybe JV, the bulk of the 2024 grad Flames suited up on their school's top teams in tough leagues.

Rice, who serves as Fairfi eld's pitching coach, recently won the Music City Mania tournament in Nashville with his soon-to-be slamming sophomores. This weekend they're in a showcase featuring fi elds at the University of Cincinnati and Miami University. Before the month ends they'll be in a Perfect Game event in Sanford, Florida and in a heavilyscouted World Wood Bat Association tournament in Marietta, Georgia.

On many weekends, the opposition is at least a year or two older.

"We promote playing up, playing good competition," Rice said. "That's what we want for our kids."

It's pretty much full-time baseball for this group that has three prep varsity seasons remaining before they hope to advance to the college game or maybe get drafted. Some of the players have ACC and SEC off ers, others have been off ered by many of the local universities.

Mason's Jake Hanley getting interest From the biggest public school in Ohio, Jake Hanley led the Greater Miami Conference in RBI with 29 for Division I regional semifi nalist Mason. His .432 average was third in the league and his 38 hits were second. He also saw some early time on the mound and recorded three saves.

In Mason's fi nal game, he roped a triple, double and single off of Vandalia Butler starter Quinton Hall, a Division I signee to Eastern Kentucky. The next day, the 6-foot-4, 195-pound two-way player was in a tournament game for the Flames.

"We've just got to keep that same mentality," Hanley said of Mason's future prospects. "I think there will be a little more hype around us but we can't let that get to our heads and think we're just going to walk through the league.

We have to compete like we did, keep our heads straight, not get lost in all of

the attention from other people and just stay in our lane."

Mason returns the bulk of its roster next year, including Mark Rutherford, also of the Class of 2024. Rutherford is already an Auburn commit. Hanley has also had DI contacts.

Anderson's JoJo Overbeek has big college hopes From the Eastern Cincinnati Conference, 6-foot-3, 200-pound JoJo Overbeek started in the fi eld and was 2-0 on the mound with 17 strikeouts in 20 innings for Anderson. He hopes to follow in his brother Josh's footsteps who will play DI ball at Pitt.

"I'm very excited for the future of what comes ahead of this team and ahead for me," Overbeek said. "I want to go play DI somewhere. I've played with them (Flames) since 12U. I've made some great bonds with some of the boys."

Other Eastern Cincinnati Conference standouts Also from the ECC, Louden Hilliard played the fi eld for Milford and had 25 strikeouts in 16.2 innings as a pitcher.

Both Milford and Anderson had winning records this past season, plus starting at a Division I high school is not easy, re-

gardless of grade.

At Cincinnati Country Day, Parker Corbin and Davis Campbell both played with older brothers on a team that won the Miami Valley Conference-Scarlet Division and made it to the Division III regional fi nal.

Corbin started the regional fi nal against eventual DIII state champ Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy and was 2-0 with 27 strikeouts in 27.1 innings with a 2.30 ERA for the Nighthawks in the regular season. He also played infi eld, caught and hit .321 with 18 RBI and 14 steals.

"I don't think it bothers us," Corbin said of taking on older squads. "We can compete and beat those older teams."

Davis Campbell, the younger brother of Cincinnati Enquirer Division III Player of the Year Jackson Campbell, hit .354 with two homers, 23 RBI and 25 steals.

He was 3-1 on the mound with a 1.17 ERA and 18 strikeouts in 12 innings. Campbell and Corbin have played with the Flames since they were on the Flames 8U team.

Their fathers previously were coaches.

Both CCD and CHCA return many players next spring and Campbell can't wait to resume the rivalry.

"We didn't really lose anybody," Campbell said. "I feel like we will possibly be going further next year. Hopefully, win state."

From nearby schools, Kyle Koch represents Lebanon and Preston Barr is from Miamisburg. The rest of the Flames are from Tippecanoe, Avon Lake, Kenton Ridge, Grove City, Newark Catholic, Olentangy Berlin, Walsh Jesuit and Greeneview.

Their most impressive stat may come off the fi eld in their grade point averages. In a sport limited in scholarship money, the 15U Flames have GPAs ranging from 4.45 (weighted) to 3.0.

If colleges are looking for players who score what they bat, this roster is certainly one to follow.

"We have a ton of guys, a ton of talent, everybody's just absolutely raking right now," Hanley said of his summer Flames. "We have a ton of catchers, all of them are extremely talented for their age. It's going to be fun these next few tournaments."

Ayers Continued from Page 1B

“That shows the core infi eld I had behind me while I was pitching,” Ayers said.

He had recently signed to come home and pitch with UC’s Bearcats but now is ready to begin his pro career having participated in the MLB Draft League for the Mahoning Valley Scrappers.

“I’m ready to make the most of it and ready to be a big leaguer,” Ayers said.

“On the track for New York City baby!”

The only other nearby draftee July 13 was Jacob Webb, a Miami University pitcher out of Fairborn. Webb was selected in the 14th round, 406th overall.

The 6-foot-3, 246-pound righty was a teammate of RedHawk fi rst-round pick Sam Bachman. Webb was 1-2 with a 2.08 ERA with 59 strikeouts in 39 innings.

have him out of the line-up a day,” Moeller coach Tim Held said. “When I didn’t want to catch him every day I could put him in the infi eld or put him in the outfi eld. He made us better at those spots as well. He’s an incredible athlete.”

McDonough also was a three-year starter at Moeller. McDonough was Greater Catholic League-South Player of the Year in 2018 when he hit .376 with four homers, 20 RBI and 19 steals for the Crusaders.

In the fourth round, West Clermont’s Cal Conley was chosen with the 126th overall pick by the Atlanta Braves.

The Texas Tech junior was recently honored with the Brooks Wallace Award as the nation’s top shortstop, according to the College Baseball Foundation.

Conley is a 5-foot-10, 185-pound switch hitter who hit .329 with 15 homers and 55 RBI in 2021. He hit safely in 43 of 56 games and had a .960 fi elding percentage helping the Red Raiders to a Super

Regional. Conley said the Braves liked the way he approached his game.

“Overall I’m just a baseball player that brings energy and wants to win,” Conley said. “My career really starts now and I’m just blessed for the opportunity from the Atlanta Braves.”

Conley hit over .400 three times in high school, twice at Loveland and also in his senior year at West Clermont. At Midland, he played on back-to-back Connie Mack World Series championship teams over the summer.

Not long after Conley was chosen, his former/future teammate Luke Waddell was also chosen by the Braves. Before Conley fi nished at West Clermont, he was part of the middle infi eld with Waddell at Loveland High School and on the 18U Midland Redskins during the summer.

Waddell was a four-year starter for Georgia Tech and a team captain. The 5foot-9, 180-pound lefty swinger hit .309 with eight homers and 33 RBI in 2021.

He also was named to the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team in 2019 and has graduated with a business administration degree with a 3.9 GPA. “My phone’s kind of blowing up, it’s

crazy!” Waddell said of being reunited with Conley.

At Loveland and Midland, Waddell was the shortstop with Conley playing second. Waddell’s not concerned and did play some second with the Yellowjackets in addition to short.

“I don’t think it matters,” Waddell said laughing. “We’re both just pumped.

We’ll talk on the phone later when it all settles down.”

The Braves were just 11 miles away from Waddell at Georgia Tech and he was familiar with their advance scout.

After missing out on 2020’s shortened fi ve-round draft, the Loveland legend (school’s all-time leading football running back also) is full steam ahead.

“I went back to school and got my degree so it all worked out,” Waddell said.

“I can’t complain about anything. It might have been a little emotional last year but at the end of the day, I’m getting started now. It’s awesome!”

From the University of Cincinnati, left-handed pitcher Evan Shawver went to the Colorado Rockies in the seventh round.

Shawver is a 6-foot-1, 185-pound lefty for the Bearcats who was 3-1 with a 2.72

ERA and 49 strikeouts in 46.1 innings. In 2018 he was named the Ohio Division I Player of the Year by the Ohio High School Baseball Coaches Association.

In round nine, Colerain’s Jake Schrand, a right-handed pitcher out of Wright State was the 269th overall pick going to the Marlins. The 6-foot, 180pound junior was 5-4 for the Raiders this season with a 4.61 ERA. He struck out 92 batters in 68.1 innings.

Late Day 1: Competitive Balance Round A After the Reds had a compensation pick at No. 30 overall in Round 1 (outfi elder Jay Allen, John Carroll Catholic HS, Florida) six more selections were made July 11.

With the 33rd pick overall, Wright State second baseman Tyler Black was selected by the Milwaukee Brewers.

Black hit .383 with 13 homers in 48 games for the Raiders. Outfi elder Quincy Hamilton of the Raiders was a fi fthround choice on the second day. The Horizon League Player of the Year hit .372 with 19 home runs in 2021.

Empower Youth is ‘a safety net for families in need’ Ole Fisherman George Rooks Guest columnist

Howdy folks, Last Wednesday, the Empower Youth had a meal at the Burke Park and I got some of the dates for some more.

One of the Wednesdays in July, the Bethel Business Association will be furnishing the food and it will be hot dogs.

On July 14, the Community Savings Bank will furnish the food starting at 6 p.m. in the evening.

The executive director, Mrs. Conley, passed away and her husband Scott has taken over to keep the place going and they are doing a wonderful job.

They have hosted free summer picnics in the park with free entertainment and food for over 20,000 meals since

2015. They also send kids to camp and college visits.

Empower Youth has become a safety net for families in need, currently serving over 900 meal packs for students.

That is 3,600 in a month. How can you help? You can assist with packing food bags, delivering food packs to schools, or work at the ranch along State Route 125. To get connected with the Empower Youth, call them at 513-278-3068.

The Lions Club has helped stuff the bags for diff erent schools and that was a fi ne evening for all of us to do this. I think these bags were for Fayetteville School.

There is always something going on here in Bethel besides the heavy traffi c.

The Shepherd’s Place will hold there summer craft and vendor show on July 17 from 9 a.m. till 3 p.m.

Robin does a super job taking care of the place so stop and look over all the good items to buy. You can meet the

folks that help her take care of the Shepherd’s Place.

I had the pleasure of sharing the noon meal with Paula, her sister and her friend. It’s always great to have a meal with Paula. Like me, she doesn’t have a car so her sister and her boyfriend furnished a ride for her.

I have seen a lot of folks walking for their health. I wish I could walk but I can’t.

I talked to Cedar Lake and they are catching some big catfi sh. Some are in the 30 and 40-pound range. Now Sherry’s Lake is having a fi sh tournament this Saturday evening and the Boars Head Bait Shop in Afton has plenty of bait and the fi shermen are sure getting lots of minnows.

I talked to Grants Greenhouse on State Route 131 and the lady said they were sending between 45 and 50 boxes of tomatoes every day to market and 15 boxes of cucumbers to market.

3B

I talked to Jarmans Greenhouse over in Felicity and the young lady said when they get ripe tomatoes they eat some of them. There is nothing as good as a fresh ripe “mater.” Danny said Jason, his son, has fi nished combining wheat and bailing straw. He said the wheat average was a little below 60 bushel per acre.

The honeybees seem to be doing well.

The Grants Farm has been busy selling the bottom boards and diff erent parts of the hive. I have heard of several folks catching the swarms.

That was always something I liked to do. When I would get a swarm I always talked to them and that seemed to help keep them calm . I have gotten honeybee swarms in the most odd places.

Ruth Ann would stay back and not get in the way.

God bless all ...

Ohio lawmakers punt legalizing sports betting to the fall Jessie Balmert Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COLUMBUS – Ohio lawmakers punted on legalizing sports betting before their summer break, but House Speaker Bob Cupp says it'll be a "top priority" this fall.

Despite a push from Senate Republicans, lawmakers in the Ohio House were hesitant to pass a sweeping proposal to legalize sports betting in the state without more time to vet the details.

Language that would allow Ohioans to bet on the Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Browns and Ohio State Buckeyes is now included in two separate bills: Senate Bill 176, which passed the Senate with a 30-2 vote on June 16, and House Bill 29, which Senate stuff ed with last-minute sports betting changes.

Each bill takes a slightly diff erent approach. Changes added to House Bill 29 would allow up to 65 licenses for sports betting: 25 mobile licenses and 40 licenses for brick-and-mortar stores. The original bill would have allowed 58 licenses.

What needs to happen this summer to pass Ohio sports betting bill in fall?

These are the kinds of diff erences that Sen. Kirk Schuring, R-Jackson Township, hopes to hash out over the summer.

"I wish we could have gotten it done

by June 30," Schuring said. "I will be working very diligently with key members of the House and key members of the interested parties to put everything in order so we can take quick action

when we come back in September."

Cupp is on board with that approach, too.

"Over the summer, we're going to be working on that to try to fi nalize it so when we come back in September, that's one of the fi rst things we do," Cupp said June 29. "That's our goal and that's our hope."

A 2018 U.S. Supreme Court decision allowed states to set up their own rules on sports betting. In the years since, nearly all of Ohio's neighbors have.

Ohio lawmakers did pass one provision of the betting bill: electronic instant bingo.

Changes added to the two-year state budget would allow veterans and fraternal organizations to off er as many as 10 machines, which can resemble slot machines, for eBingo, if they are already approved for regular bingo.

Opponents call the change a dramatic expansion of gambling in Ohio, but backers say it's an important tool for organizations doing valuable work in their communities.

"EBingo is nothing more than an electronic version of their instant bingo pull tabs," Schuring said.

Cupp initially did not support adding eBingo to the budget, but he later came around to the idea.

"Budget time produces unusual and unexpected results," Cupp said. "Our members thought it was the time to do it."

Jessie Balmert is a reporter for the USA TODAY Network Ohio Bureau, which serves the Akron Beacon Journal, Cincinnati Enquirer, Columbus Dispatch and 18 other affi liated news organizations across Ohio.

Ohio lawmakers punted on legalizing sports betting in the state. They plan to tackle the issue this fall.

SCHOOL NEWS Volunteers gather to beautify elementary school grounds The Beautify Bick project took place on Saturday, July 3, at William Bick Primary in the Bethel-Tate School District.

Under the direction of parent Jennifer Dick and support from the district PTO, several volunteers gathered together to improve the landscaping around the school’s main entrance.

There were parents and multiple Bethel-Tate students who volunteered several hours digging, planting, mulching, and watering.

A variety of grasses and plants were donated and purchased by local families to beautify the William Bick Primary grounds in preparation for the upcoming school year.

“The school district is extremely appreciative of the kindness and generosity of the school community, and this project showed that when people come together, great things can happen,” shared Bick Elementary Principal Greg Chandler.

Morgan Cravens earns Youth Leadership Award Batavia High School graduate Morgan Cravens will be honored for her leadership by the Clermont Chamber of Commerce Foundation with the Up ‘N Over Award. The award will be presented during the 2021 Salute to Leaders event on July 21.

Cravens, who had been a student in the Great Oaks/Batavia Business Management program, was president of the school’s Business Professionals of America (BPA) chapter and National Cravens Technical Honor Society chapter. She also serves as an Ohio BPA Region 13 representative.

Morgan has represented Batavia at several Ohio Leadership Conferences and competed at the National Leadership Conference in Anaheim, California in 2019.

Morgan placed third at state competition in Advanced Offi ce Systems in 2020 and qualifi ed for national competition once again, giving full eff ort even knowing that the leadership conference in Washington, DC had already been cancelled.

This year she was the regional champion in both the Advanced Offi ce and Advanced Interview events, qualifying for virtual state competition in 2021.

The Beautify Bick project took place on Saturday, July 3. PROVIDED

She volunteers with the Tri-State Warbird Museum, the YMCA, Empower Youth and several other organizations. In 2020, Morgan earned her national Ambassador Torch Award from BPA and the U.S. Presidential Volunteer Service Medal for her personal commitment to school and community service.

“Morgan’s eff ective leadership skills have helped our chapter raise over $90,000 for Special Olympics and other charities,” said instructor and BPA advisor Angie Kovacs. “She has continually encouraged her peers to participate in the BPA Cares program, resulting in our chapter earning nine BPA Cares National Community Service Awards. Under her guidance, our BPA chapter earned the prestigious Ohio Professional Cup for the 2020-2021 school year.”

Cravens excels academically in honors level courses and is at the top of her class. She is a captain of the cross country and track teams, where she has helped several underclassmen with technical skills and sup-

port. At graduation, she received a Career-Technical Honors Diploma and the President’s Award for Educational Excellence.

“Her eff ective time management skills allowed her to balance her academic career, extracurricular activities, a part-time job, and an unpaid internship,” said Kovacs.

Morgan Cravens continues a tradition of leaders from the Great Oaks/Batavia Business Management program. Other Up ‘N Over Youth Leadership Award winners from the program include Dylan Young (2017), Will Scheff ter (2018), and Chloe Daley (2019).

The Business Management program is off ered by Great Oaks Career Campuses in partnership with Batavia High School.
