New half-mile stretch of Columbia Connector opens ‘Coudn’t have come at a better time,’ township offi cial says Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Community leaders recently celebrated the opening of a new half-mile stretch of the Columbia Connector multi-use trail, which links Columbia Township to the Little Miami Scenic Trail. “It’s amazing to see it fi nally open and it couldn’t have come at a better time when everybody is looking for outdoor activities,” David Kubicki, president of the Columbia Township Board of Trustees, said in an email to The Enquirer. “Columbia Township worked closely with (Great Parks of Hamilton County) and made a signifi cant fi nancial commitment to the Connector. This will improve the quality of life for our residents and also help the businesses nearby. It doesn’t get any better than that.” The newly opened stretch of the Co-
lumbia Connector runs west from the Little Miami Scenic Trail at the northern end of the Newtown Road bridge. It continues behind the 50 West Brewing Co., May We Help and Carriage House Car Wash, all on Wooster Pike, to Walton Creek Road. Great Parks of Hamilton County said in a press release that it is planning the next phase of the Connector, which is to cross Walton Creek Road and eventually turn north toward an intersection with Wooster Pike. After that, the release said, Great Parks will coordinate with the Ohio Department of Transportation to extend the Connector further west to the Mariemont branch of the Cincinnati and Hamilton County Public Library. The eastern end of the Columbia Connector reaches the Little Miami Scenic Trail near trail access points at Avoca Park and trailhead on Wooster Pike and at the Bass Island Park and trailhead and the Little Miami Golf Center, both on Newtown Road.

Have you ever heard the story of mermaids in the Ohio River or the haunted Sedamsville Rectory? Local comic book creators have produced a new comic anthology that tells these tales and other Cincinnati urban legends. “Cincinnati Cabinet of Curiosities” features six paranormal stories set in the Tristate area based on local legends, such as the Loveland Frogman and the ghosts in Music Hall. “Who doesn’t love stories of lore around anywhere, but especially around your home?” said illustrator Christina Wald, who served as the comic's project manager. Editor Kat Klockow provided dossiers of diff erent locations with rumors of paranormal activity, and the creators picked which stories they wanted to tell. Wald chose Satan’s Hollow, a series of drainage tunnels in Blue Ash that are rumored to be a “portal to hell.” “It sounded so ridiculous that I had to draw it,” said Wald, who has illustrated numerous children’s books.

Feds: Jet fuel leak at Lunken Airport leads to $90K fi ne Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Lunken Airport’s aircraft operator was fi ned $90,000 Oct. 6 after offi cials said the company violated the Clean Water Act by causing and mishandling a jet fuel leak in March 2019. An Enquirer report states an estimated 3,000 gallons of fuel was spilled “as the result of a mishap during the refueling of a plane” that weekend.
“At this time there are no safety or environmental concerns,“ former Cincinnati City Manager Patrick Duhaney wrote to City Council in the days following the spill. Cin-Air LP was not named at the time of the leak, but the company pleaded guilty in federal court on Oct. 6. “Eff orts were made to contain and clean up the spill, and it is estimated 1,700 gallons of fuel were recovered,” the Oct. 6 release states.
According to the Department of Justice, Cin-Air contributed approximately $220,000 toward nearly $440,000 in cleanup costs. The release states Cin-Air had a fuel pump at Cincinnati’s Lunken Airport airplane hangar, which the company inadvertently left running overnight after a mechanic refueled an airplane on March 21, 2019, according to a release from the Department of Justice. A safety switch called the “dead man

switch” had been previously altered with a zip tie, the release states. This caused the switch to permanently stay in the open position. The next morning, Cin-Air employees reported to work and discovered the fuel pump had been running all night and leaking, spilling more than 3,000 gallons of fuel.

lumbia Connector to the Murray Path and Wasson Way, as well as the Ohio River Trail from Lunken Airport to Downtown Cincinnati. “Great Parks is committed to leading in the development of our regional trails as we see…with the opening of the fi rst phase of the Columbia Connector,” Great Parks CEO Todd Palmeter said in the Great Parks press release. “This extension will further expand the CROWN net-
work, which connects the Little Miami Scenic Trail and communities such as the village of Mariemont. The trail also allows easier access to all that Fifty West Brewing has to off er along Wooster Pike. “It is dedicated partnerships with Tri-State Trails, Columbia Township, Ohio Department of Transportation, among others, that make great community projects such as this possible,” Palmeter said.
Marcus Thompson, president of Great Parks’ Board of Commissioners, said in the release that providing trails for the public is important. “Since 2019, trail usage has increased 68 percent,” Thompson said. “That’s almost half a million extra visitors since 2019. That shows the importance of trails like this and trails throughout the rest of Great Parks.”

tice, Cin-Air never notifi ed to the National Response Center and waited approximately six hours before notifying the Cincinnati Fire Department. Before calling the fi re department, company employees washed down the spill area with water into a nearby storm sewer. Emergency crews then traced the fuel spill to a cove of the Little Miami River. In Duhaney’s letter to City Council the weekend of the leak, he wrote some of the fuel fl owed into a storm drain system, although a closed valve isolated the drain from the Little Miami River.

No jet fuel was observed in the main river channel, according to the release. “The defendant’s negligence resulted in a fuel spill that contaminated the Little Miami River, a tributary of the Ohio River,” special agent Jennifer Lynn of EPA’s criminal enforcement program said in the release. “Today’s sentencing demonstrates that EPA and our law enforcement partners are committed to enforcing laws designed to protect the health of our communities and our natural resources.” Cin-Air was sentenced to one year of probation in addition to the fi ne, the release states. Part of its probation includes providing training to all CinAir employees on spill

Homearama kicks off in Cincinnati Randy Tucker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Oct. 6. After a months-long delay, the Homearama showcase of luxury homes was scheduled to kick off Oct. 8 with a dedication ceremony at the new Walworth Junction residential development in the East End. Mayor John Cranley was scheduled to be the keynote speaker at the launch of the 57th annual Homearama – the fi rst to be held inside Cincinnati's city limits in the show's history, according to the Home Builders Association of Greater Cincinnati. The show had been scheduled for July
before the pandemic forced organizers to move it to this month. Visitors will be required to follow state and federal COVID-19 guidelines, including wearing face masks and social distancing. Home tours will be limited to 40 people at a time, or 10 on each fl oor. The show, which opened to the public Saturday and runs through Oct. 25, will feature seven homes listed from $1.2 million to $1.6 million. All the show homes have rooftop terraces with views of the Ohio River. Six of the homes have already been sold. The urban infi ll development at 3107 Walworth Ave. will eventually include 39 homes located on a reclaimed brownfi eld site just north of the intersection of Riverside Drive and Delta Avenue. Billed as a walkable community, Walworth Junc-

This year's Homearama will be open from noon-9 p.m., Friday through Sunday, and 4-9 p.m., Monday through Thursday.
Tickets are $19 at the gate and $17 on the Cincinnati Homearama mobile app or website. Kroger will not be selling tickets this year due to COVID-19 restrictions.

10 things for your 2020 fall bucket list: Ohio edition
Dent Schoolhouse or Land of Illusion Haunted houses are another important part of fall. Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine strongly recommended that haunted houses be canceled this year but that hasn't stopped some local haunts from planning their season. Dent Schoolhouse is one of Cincinnati's most famous haunts, based on the premise that a janitor once murdered school children on the grounds. Due to the pandemic and the fact that Dent is an indoor haunt, guest admission is limited 50% and masks are required. 5963 Harrison Ave., Green Township; 513-445-9767, frightsite.com. Land of Illusion is another famous haunt, more like a haunted festival, with both indoor and outdoor trails and houses. 8762 Thomas Road, Middletown; 513-423-9960,landofi llusion.com.

Fall foliage. Pumpkin everything. Halloween haunts. Autumn doesn't bring just a change in weather, it brings a mood and activities reserved specifi cally for this time of year. Ohio has a little bit of it all: places for family fun, romantic getaways, delicious fall harvests. Since a lot of the fall festivities are outdoors, many of them will not be affected by the pandemic. Still, some of the larger celebrations this year have been canceled due to COVID-19. In 2020, you can't dress up and attend the Ohio Renaissance Festival. Oxford's Apple Butter Festival has been canceled. Sadly, the Ohio Sauerkraut Festival in Waynesville has been canceled as well. But the pandemic hasn't stopped it all.
Fall leaves add color at Spring Grove Cemetery and Arboretum. PROVIDED/ SPRING GROVE CEMETERY AND ARBORETUM
Here's the Ohio fall bucket list: Burger Farm and Garden Center Burger Farm is the place to go if you're looking for pumpkins. In addition to picking your own pumpkin, Burger Farm has a Vine Climb, Jumping Pillow, Challenge Course, Mini Ziplines and Cow Train. There are hayrides, barnyard animal viewing and other live entertainment. The farm resembles more of a festival and has just about every fall activity imaginable. Due to the pandemic, Burger Farm has made some changes including mask requirements for staff and added social distancing measures. Admission is $12 on Saturday and Sunday. 7849 Main St. (Ohio 32). Newtown; 513-561-8634, burgerfarms.com.

States. The area has lakes, islands, footbridges, protected woodland areas and hundreds of trees and plants from around the world. It's the perfect place to see some fall foliage and get a walk in. Also fi tting with the season, Spring Grove has a reputation for being one of the most haunted places in Cincinnati.
One of the monuments at Spring Grove is the bust of Cincinnati real estate magnate Charles Breuer, known because the eyes on the sculpture are made of glass. According to the Ohio Ghost Hunter Guide, the eyes of the bust are said to follow whoever walks past. Some even say that the eyes of the bust were made from Breuer's own eyes. That is not true. 4521 Spring Grove Ave., Spring Grove Village; springgrove.org.

There are six diff erent locations off ering everything from adult costumes to children's costumes, haunted house gear, a haunted museum and a restaurant.

Loveland Bike Trail Pedal into fall on the Loveland Bike Trail. This trail travels through Loveland, Milford, Miami Township, Newtown and Lebanon and continues for more than 70 miles. Along the trail, best taken by bike, you can see hundreds of changing leaves and other natural signs that summer has come to an end. Along the way, there are plenty of places with picnic tables, restrooms, coff ee, ice cream shops, restaurants and other entertainment. See BUCKET LIST, Page 8A

There is ‘so much to see here in Bethel, if you take your time’ Ole Fisherman George Rooks Guest columnist
Howdy folks, The weather is a little cooler so I met Paula at Frisch’s for lunch, or dinner as I call it. Then I roamed around Bethel a little while before going back to the apartment. I watched the Reds try to play baseball. This was the fi rst time Paula and I have met like this – her in her car and me on my scooter. In roaming around Bethel, the folks are really decorating their homes with pumpkins, mums and other kinds of fl owers. They are also putting up skeletons and all kinds of Halloween decorations. Some of the houses here in Bethel are really big and beautiful. They have been taken good care of. I shared before that there are a couple of Sears home in Bethel. Can you imagine Sears selling houses to be built? That
is great. I don’t imagine Amazon could do that. They do so much now. You can about buy most anything from them and that is good. The Shepherd’s House had a craft show and it was a good one. I went and saw a lot of folks I knew. That was good. The crafters had some beautiful items. The place was full and with the scooter I can get around and see folks. I then stopped at the Grant Memorial. If you folks have never been there you are missing something. On the fi rst fl oor, there is a bug-eyed horse training wagon and many other items to see. The folks have really done a super job of changing each fl oor and it is so clean. There are three fl oors. There is so much to see here in Bethel, if you take your time. I talked to Sherry’s Lake and they had a 24-pound blue catfi sh caught on Saturday night. They keep their lake stocked very well. I talked to Cedar Lake and the fi shing is slow. The folks are taking the cooler weather and staying home
where it is warmer. Sherry and Gary are doing good. Gary is getting better each day. It takes time for us young fellers to get better. I pray that God helps Gary and Sherry during this healing time. Now, a little more about my dad and mother. Mom loved to fi sh and when we went fi shing, mom wanted dad to put on her bait and when she caught a fi sh, you could hear her holler a long way off . One time when my brother Frank and I went fi shing, we had not caught anything but when we got home, mother said you need to clean these fi sh. I asked her where did you get them and she said a neighbor had gone fi shing in a stone quarry and gave mom the fi sh. So we cleaned them. My dad loved to eat fi sh. Of course, we did not know anything about fi lleting them but that didn’t make any diff erence to us. The Living the Word Church here in Bethel has been meeting at the church and down at Starlite Drive in. Oct. 4 was the last gathering at the Starlite Drive in. Going forward, there will be an 8:30 and

The Starlite Drive-in has been a real blessing for the church people. The Kitchen of Hope here at the church is sure serving lots of people. Last Saturday they told me they served 75 people. The Catholic Church on the second Friday, said about 85 to 90 families were served. This is a blessing. Before I fell, Paula and I would always be there to help. Whatever they had left over, they would give the churches to give out to their people. That’s what the Lord wants us to do. When I am out folks are so special, stopping at the crosswalks and opening doors for me. Deb said the cats are doing OK. Start your week by praying and praising the good Lord. God bless all...

Root vegetable and chickpea tagine is a ‘fi lling, healthful’ meal Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist
Our garden is gourd and winter squash central for family, neighbors and friends. The little ones love to explore the vines holding these autumn treasures. During a recent hunt, granddaughters Ellery, Eva and Emerson found what they claimed was a new kind of gourd. Not so. They found edible tan honey nut squash, a very small member of the large butternut squash family. I planted seeds in June and somehow the honey nut squash vines wound up tangling with ornamental gourds. Honey nut butternut squash is easy to prepare. The peel is tender so I leave it on. Seeds are small enough to leave in. The perfect butternut to include in this warming vegetarian tagine recipe. I fi rst tasted this stew during a winter Turner Farms, Indian Hill (turnerfarm.org) culinary class on sources of anti-infl ammatory, fi ber fi lled plant foods and herbs. Topped with a spicy yogurt herb sauce, this stew is a fi lling, healthful and delish meal. I adapted their recipes only slightly.

SPORTS How UC sports program helps deliver money to high school athletics Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Associate Professor Dave Kelley of the University of Cincinnati would rather not grade the papers of his Masters in Sports Administration students when there’s a better alternative. As a result, some area high schools have benefi ted and several of his graduates are employed in prominent athletic departments in Greater Cincinnati. All by not grading papers? Well, in lieu of the standard blue book or lengthy thesis, Kelley has had his students partner with local Cincinnati and some regional schools for something more meaningful than a grade. With fi nancial hardship being a byproduct of the coronavirus pandemic, every school is looking for ways to replace revenue lost due to the cancellation of spring athletics and the social distancing required this fall with limited spectators. In recent years Kelley has had his Master’s students in “Applied Financial Management Strategies in Athletics” team up with local schools to fi nd athletic dollars that might not be available to all schools. “I wanted to create a course that would end up benefi ting a number of schools,” Kelley said. “I have them (students) go through the grant-writing process from cradle to grave to where they can hand it off to the athletic director of that school.” Kelley’s student, Matt Demarco, worked with a former Bearcat student, Alex Mallue, the athletic director at Riverview East Academy. Together, they applied for the Good Sports grant. With help from Kelley’s current students, his old student Mallue applied and was awarded grant money that paid for sports equipment, apparel and footwear for the athletes at Riverview East, a school in the Cincinnati Public School district. The project not only helped Riverview East but also Oyler as Demarco struck up a conversation during a basketball game with their AD leading to more grant money for a CPS school. “A big need of ours was additional equipment, football hitting dummies, anything like that,” Mallue said. “This student went out and found Good Sports, which I had never heard of. It’s a company that specializes in giving out equipment to schools like us that don’t have as many resources. We worked on the grant together and ended up being rewarded an equipment grant.” The grant doesn’t come in a dollar amount but covers a certain amount of athletic equipment. Mallue says it all adds up, citing the cost of an OHSAA basketball is $80-90. Cincinnati Public Schools like Riverview East are funded by Activities Beyond the Classroom. Unlike bigger CPS schools like Walnut Hills, Taft and Hughes, who bring in a fair amount of money from basketball, Riverview East really relies on the ABC money. However, the ABC budget is currently frozen, making the grant help more of a necessity. “The pandemic really hit us all hard, but really hit Activities Beyond the Classroom hard,” Mallue said. “The fact that we have this grant now to go out and get this equipment could not have come at a better time.” This semester, Kelley’s students have again partnered with Mallue at Riverview East as well as Purcell Marian assistant AD Reid Hollinger and Purcell Marian AD and head football coach D.J. Dowdy (a former Cincinnati Bearcat tight end) to seek grant opportunities. Hollinger is helping apply for a grant with the NFL and Cincinnati Bengals that could lead to turf replacement on Purcell Marian’s practice fi eld. The fi eld behind the school See UC SPORTS, Page 2B

Spencer Center athletics tries to grow in pandemic The fl edgling school deals with play stoppage and a new normal Alex Harrison Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
While nearly every other school in the state was returning to athletics, Cincinnati Public students sat and watched, before receiving a green light to return on the school board’s Sept. 14 meeting. While the return was diffi cult, it presented a greater challenge to one CPS school in particular: Spencer Center. The Spencer Center for Gifted and Exceptional Students, a magnet school located on Alms Place in Walnut Hills, opened in 2017 catering to third- to eighth-graders. After adding a grade level each year, they will have their fi rst senior class next school year. What's more, the fl edgling school has had to navigate its return to athletics with an even more fl edgling program. “It’s been a slow ascent,” Spencer Center Athletic Director Reid Finley said. “As we build up our school, we’re building up our athletic department. It takes time to get everything together as a school and then further as an athletic department.” Elementary and middle school students had athletics from the start, but high school athletics only began last year with track and cross country. Spencer Center added volleyball, basketball, baseball and a quiz team for the 20202021 school year. This season was supposed to be one of growth for Spencer Center as it fi nished up its probation period with the Ohio High School Athletic Association and awaited admission into the Cincinnati Metro Athletic Conference as a fulltime member for next year. Instead, the Wolfpack had to suspend junior high programs and delay its crucial high school seasons. As other CPS schools continued practices awaiting the return to play order, Spencer Center had diffi culties fi tting those in. “We don’t have one actionable athletic facility onsite at school,” Finley said. “We’ve had to creatively overcome, with our volleyball and basketball programs, ... how to get (athletes) in the facilities

safely if we don’t have (facilities) on campus.” Coaches had to fi nd workarounds to use a “small-sized” gymnasiums while also outdoor facilities to increase social distancing eff orts for safe practices. The Wolfpack, without regulation facilities, must play all games on the road, again straining the coaches and athletes in preparing to play. “Our coaches have been good on utilizing weight training techniques that don’t involve a weight room because we don’t have a weight room on campus either,” Finley said. “In doing that, our coaches have been forced into a tricky situation of how to prepare studentathletes, specifi cally on the high school side, to be ready for a full season.”
The Spencer Center for Gifted and Exceptional Students, a citywide magnet school, opened in 2017. The building, originally Frederick Douglass School, was renamed for former Cincinnati vice-mayor Marian Spencer and her husband, Donald, after it was renovated. The school is located on Alms Place in Walnut Hills. THE ENQUIRER
Spencer Center features just varsity levels for its high school programs but had expected to have a junior varsity volleyball team before numbers dropped with the play stoppage. Finley said he expects to have JV volleyball and basketball teams as the school adds another class and restrictions inch closer to resembling normalcy. So far, the Wolfpack has played against CMAC schools in volleyball where they will compete in a tournament to crown a conference winner, giving Spencer Center an early introduction to life in the CMAC.
Some OHSAA state championships set, some are not Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Oct. 6. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates. COLUMBUS – The Ohio High School Athletic Association Board of Directors announced some changes in their most recent board meeting, which included some adjustments to the fall sports schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Among the changes are: a two-day format for regional/state cross country
with the competitions limited to 150 runners; limited ticketing for state golf qualifi ers; the state fi eld hockey venue has moved; the state soccer championship venue may change; the state girls volleyball venue could change and the state football championship games do not have a fi nalized venue. CROSS COUNTRY: The regional and state tournaments will have a two-day format this year to spread out the event. The Division III races will be run on Friday afternoons (regionals on Oct. 30; state on Nov. 6), while the Division II and I races will be run on Saturdays (region-
als on Oct. 31; state on Nov. 7). In addition, the current Ohio Department of Health order limits the number of runners in a cross country race to 150, which is less than a typical regional or state championships race. If the OHSAA’s variance request is not approved, each race will be run in two sections. As previously announced, the state championships will be at Fortress Obetz. GOLF: At all levels of the tournament (sectional, district and state), tickets are See OHSAA, Page 2B

is less than 100 yards and Hollinger estimates the turf is 10 years old. Prior to its construction, the Cavaliers would board a bus to practice at Eden Park. “I did this project when I was in school,” Hollinger said. “This would be a huge help and a lot less work on our end. It’s defi nitely time to replace it. That turf fi eld is used between both of our soccer teams, football teams and when we’re not in COVID, youth teams. It would be huge to get at least a little bit of money from the NFL to help replace it.” Harrison High School just recently installed new turf through the help of the Bengals and the NFL Grassoorts Program to the tune of $250,000. Purcell Marian’s grant would go through the same process. “The less you can go and ask of alumni and local businesses the more you’re able to use their money for something else,” Hollinger said.

required for entrance and must be purchased in advance. At most tournaments, there will be a limit of two tickets available for each qualifi er. The state tournament venues remain the same, with NorthStar Golf Club in Sunbury hosting the boys' Division III state tournament, and The Ohio State University Golf Club in Columbus hosting the Division I and II girls and boys state tournaments. There will be limited ticketing at Ohio State. Golf Genius will be utilized for live scoring, with the link posted on the state tournament coverage page at OHSAA.org. There will be no awards presentations. FIELD HOCKEY: The state tournament will move to Thomas Worthington High School after being hosted at Upper Arlington High School, which cannot host the event this year. The state semifi nals will be on Thursday, Nov. 5, and the state championship game will be on Saturday, Nov. 7.
Associate Professor Dave Kelley of the University of Cincinnati assigned his Sports Administration students to partner with local Cincinnati and regional schools to help fi nd athletic dollars that might not be available to all schools. With help from Kelley’s students, Riverview East was awarded grant money that paid for sports equipment, apparel and footwear for the athletes. FILE PHOTO

SOCCER: The state championships venue has not been fi nalized. Traditional host MAPFRE Stadium in Columbus may or may not host the games. GIRLS TENNIS: The Lindner Family Tennis Center in Mason will continue to host the state tournament, as the venue does not charge the OHSAA a rental fee. If inclement weather forces play indoors, the OHSAA will communicate the limited spectator policy. VOLLEYBALL: The state tournament venue has not been fi nalized. Traditional host Wright State University in Dayton may or may not host the event. FOOTBALL: As previously published, the state football fi nals will likely not be in the same stadium. However, if they use separate venues, there will not be simultaneous state championships. Each will have its own individual time slot. The Division I fi nal is set for Nov. 13 with Divisions II-VII occurring Nov. 1922. Venue(s) have not been fi nalized.
to increase the number of individuals for skill sessions during the off -season, defi ning no-contact periods and allowing softball and baseball coaches to instruct a maximum of six team members at the same time in a facility. The board approved a proposal from the Ohio High School Ice Hockey Advisory Committee to move the non-interscholastic date back to Dec. 30 instead of the previously established date of Nov, 20 to assist athletes who are pursuing a future team placement with USA Hockey.
Non-fall sports updates Other developments included approval for baseball and softball coaches
be seen at weekend prep events throughout Greater Cincinnati. Kelsey Mitchell of Princeton/Ohio State/WNBA is a recent grad and current Bearcats wide receiver Michael Young Jr. is in the program. “Oftentimes athletic directors don’t have the human or fi nancial resources to do grant-writing,” Kelley said. “We’re sort of fi lling that need. Our graduate students are interacting with the athletic department, gathering the demographic information of the school and doing what’s necessary to get everything prepared to apply for the grant.” In the end, the UC students graduate with a tangible skillset; the ability to generate revenue. They also get a realistic look at the fi nancial constraints the many public/parochial schools face. “The AD role has changed dramatically the last 15-20 years,” Kelley said. “There’s a lot more to it in terms of planning and fi nancial components. If you can demonstrate that you can generate revenue on a consistent basis through corporate sponsorship or grantsmanship, they’re going to fi nd a place for you.”
OHSAA fi nances The board approved the 2020-21 OHSAA budget, which includes a projected $1.3 million defi cit due to decreased spectators permitted at tournament contests. The OHSAA continues to explore cost-saving measures and is working toward reducing that defi cit as much as possible in order to continue providing services to member schools, its 26 sanctioned sports, and more than 15,000 contest offi cials.

SCHOOL NEWS CNE naturalization ceremony subdued, but powerful He fi rst traveled more than 4,400 miles, then 30 miles. He waited fi ve years, and then a little longer because of the global pandemic. Finally, in ceremonies as properly solemn as they were celebratory, Yacoub Ba and 49 others became United States citizens Sept. 11 at Clermont Northeastern High School. Ba, 34, is a native of Mauritania, in West Africa, who now lives in West Chester Township and works as a risk manager for a bank. He talked about his journey – including the scenic drive to Owensville – and signifi cance of the day, less than an hour after taking the oath of citizenship on an overcast, chilly morning, 19 years from the day his new country was attacked. “Today’s a long journey of many years, for me, wanting to be a part of the United States culture. Why? For me, it’s one of the best countries in the world. I come from a world where we spoke French, and English has always been something that I’ve wanted to speak, and what better way to be a part of the culture that we have here in the United States,” Ba said. “Yes, we have our differences, but it’s still one of the greatest nations that anyone could be a part of. That’s why I’m excited to be here today, going through this process.” The signifi cance of the date and the circumstances of the times pervaded the event. This is the fourth time CNE has hosted a naturalization ceremony, but the fi rst time the event has been held outside, in the school’s football stadium, under social distancing guidelines. Citizenship candidates, wearing face shields or masks, were scattered throughout the bleachers on the home side; a few family members and friends stood on the fi eld with cameras. High school students watched from their classrooms instead of in-person, as they have done in previous ceremonies in the gymnasium. U.S. Magistrate Stephanie K. Bowman stood at podium on the track and noted that she usually doesn’t schedule events for Sept. 11. “It’s a day I usually use as a day of personal refl ection,” she said. “When Emily (Hiltz, the naturalization clerk who organized the ceremony) asked if I would be available today to have this ceremony, I thought for a minute, ‘I usually don’t do anything on 9-11,’ but I also recognize how important these are, and I think it’s a good example to set and a good way to remember those who lost their lives on 9-11, 2001.” Bowman, who has presided over two previous ceremonies at CNE, also noted that none of the students watching were alive that day, and encouraged them to talk with their parents about the meaning of the events. CNE High School Principal T.J. Glassmeyer said the date was not coincidental, but wishes his students could have

witnessed events fi rst-hand. “It’s not exactly how we want to do it, but based on the current conditions, it’s how we do it. We still wanted our kids to see it and be a part of it, and especially on 9-11, I think it’s special,” Glassmeyer said. “We actually planned it last September after we had done another one, and they asked if we wanted to do one on Sept. 11, and two of my history teachers (Michael Tabor and Steve Thompson), two of three are Marines, who joined up after 9-11, and they do a tremendous job of talking to our kids about the importance of 9-11 and we thought this would just add to the signifi cance of it,” he said. Ba does remember 9-11, even though he was almost half a world away. “Yes, vividly. I was not in the United
States at the time, but I remember vividly I was in West Africa at the time and I remember just the fear of it,” he said. “It impacted so many people globally. It wasn’t just a domestic thing, it was a global impact, and having it on this day is just a refl ection of the men and women that serve our country and the purpose of anyone that goes through this process understand that you are now part of this fabric and you have to participate, whether through voting or join in the military, do what you can to participate in this democracy.” Hiltz praised CNE for both its adaptability and its commitment to the naturalization programs, and Bowman presented Glassmeyer with a certifi cate of appreciation signed by federal judges. “This school is so wonderful as to say we can use the gym if we aren’t able to do this (outside). Normally our Clermont Northeastern High School families are in the gym, you know how much fun they are. The students watch, the band is involved, the scout troops,” Hiltz said. Previous ceremonies at CNE included representatives of various political fi gures, as well as a delegation from the Sons of the American Revolution. Three members of the League for Women Voters helped register the new citizens, who are now eligible to vote. Ba plans to do just that. “Yes, I will be involved. I’ve always been a fan of American politics, but now that I’m a United States citizen, it’s one of those things that I’m going to do more of. Now, whether that’s running for public offi ce or not, that is to be determined, but I will be involved in that process,” he said. The United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio includes 48 of the state’s 88 counties, and Hiltz noted that some of the new citizens sworn at CNE came from as far away as Scioto and Lawrence counties.

UC Clermont offers virtual poetry series UC Clermont College will welcome two critically acclaimed poets to campus this fall – virtually – as part of the college’s annual Poetry Series. On Oct. 7, Brooklyn-based poet Tyler Mills for a 9 a.m. workshop and 11:15 a.m. virtual reading. Mills is the author of two full-length books of poems, “Hawk Parable” (winner of the Akron Poetry Prize, University of Akron Press 2019) and “Tongue Lyre” (winner of the Crab Orchard Series in Poetry First Book Award, Southern Illinois University Press 2013), as well as “The City Scattered” (2019 Snowbound Chapbook Award, forthcoming from Tupelo Press). Her poems have appeared in The New Yorker, The Guardian, The Believer, and Poetry, and her essays in AGNI, Copper Nickel and The Rumpus. Then on Nov. 18, author Sumita Chakraborty will be on hand for a 9 a.m. workshop and 11:15 a.m. virtual reading. Originally from Massachusetts, Chakraborty now lives in Michigan, where she is Helen Zell Visiting Professor in Poetry at the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor. She is a poet and a scholar, and “Arrow” is her debut collection of poems, released in the U.S. by Alice James Books and in the U.K. by Carcanet Press. “The UC Clermont Poetry Series has been bringing local and national poets to the college for more than 10 years,” said English Professor Phoebe Reeves.

SCHOOL NEWS
Ohio River Foundation (ORF) has a new team member to help with its popular Mussels in the Classroom education program. His name is Russell the Mussel, and he’s a freshwater mussel not unlike those that inhabit the creeks, streams and rivers of the Ohio River watershed. Russell himself is a character in a Virginia Tech/U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service children’s book that bears his name. ORF spearheaded eff orts to resurrect the book, which was previously out of print. The nonprofi t will distribute copies as part of its Mussels in the Classroom program for the fi rst time this fall. It’s most appropriate for students on fourth- through sixth-grade reading levels or for teachers who wish to read the book to younger students. ORF launched Mussels in the Classroom, the only program of its kind, in 2017. Since then, nearly 5,000 students in the Greater Cincinnati, Greater Columbus and Greater Lexington areas have experienced the program. It kicks off with a visit by an Ohio River Foundation educator, who describes the freshwater mussels’ unusual characteristics and signifi cance to their ecosystems. Although they clean water, acting as a natural fi lter for our waterways, most people know little about these important animals. Many species are threatened or endangered. Following the educator visit, mussels remain in the classroom for two weeks so students can care for and study them. “Adding the Russell the Mussel book as a leave-behind lets us share information about freshwater mussels in a new way that will benefi t students who are

reading/writing learners,” said Rich Cogen, Ohio River Foundation’s executive director. “Because the book will remain in the classroom after our program ends, it will also reinforce what we teach and serve as a continuous reminder about this critical species.” Because of COVID-19, ORF is adapting the Mussels in the Classroom program to feature virtual presentations this fall. Classrooms operating under inperson learning will still receive an aquarium of mussels to observe for a two-week span. The program is fully booked for the fall in Greater Cincinnati and Greater Columbus, but interested teachers in those regions can submit an application for spring 2021. A few spaces remain available for schools in the Greater Lexington area for this fall. For more information, visit the ORF website. Ohio River Foundation (ORF) is dedicated to protecting and improving the water quality and ecology of the Ohio River and all waters in its 11-state watershed. ORF works towards these goals through environmental education, conservation and advocacy activities that serve to inspire environmental stewardship for the benefi t and enjoyment of current and future citizens. In 2020, ORF celebrates its 20th anniversary of Ohio River watershed work. During its history, the nonprofi t has reached 50,000 students with its freshwater education programs; restored and reconnected more than 200 miles of rivers; removed four dams; planted 6,000 trees; and removed more than 300,000 invasive plants.

COMMUNITY NEWS Foster parents receive thanks in unique ‘drive-in’ appreciation event Beech Acres Parenting Center said thanks to Cincinnati foster families with a drive-in foster parent appreciation event on Sept. 12, a unique celebration for a unique moment in time. In typical years, Beech Acres organizes a more formal foster parent appreciation dinner, but current guidelines on public gatherings called for an innovative celebration. “Even while so much of our society has slowed or stopped, the need for loving foster parents has not diminished,” said Rická Berry, vice president of child welfare for Beech Acres Parenting Center. “However, the circumstances of this diffi cult year have placed more challenges on foster parents. We admire their strength and mindfulness in providing safe, welcoming homes for these children.” Hamilton County routinely has about 1,200 children in foster care and the number is much larger when considering Clermont, Butler, Warren, Montgomery and other area counties served by Beech Acres. Beech Acres has matched children with safe, loving, well-trained foster parents for over 40 years, and has built a large, supportive community to help foster parents succeed. Families who are interested in learning more about foster care can connect through beechacres.org or by calling (513) 231-6630. Peter Osborne

Participants will be equipped with six award-winning bourbons, experience materials and access to the experience interactive video. After learning the art of bourbon blending, guests will create their recipes. Better yet, all participants will have the chance to order and leave the experience with their custom bottle. For more information or to book a reservation, visit the Brain Brew Custom Whiskey Facebook page or their website: https://brainbrewwhiskey.com/ woodcraft-custom-bourbon-privatetable-party-experience/. Brain Brew Custom Whiskey is a craft distillery headquartered in Newtown, Ohio and Windsor, United Kingdom. Brain Brew began selling retail products in November of 2019. Their purpose is to return whiskey to being of the people, by the people and for the people. With this mission in mind, they’ve created two home experiences where you can create your personal bourbon or custom cocktails, and crafted the Riverboat Collection whiskeys which celebrate Cincinnati’s history! Brain Brew’s whiskeys have received some of the highest ratings in the 2020 Ultimate Spirits Challenge as well as the 2020 San Francisco World Spirits Competition! They humbled to have received such high ratings beating some of the world’s most iconic whiskey brands. Today, Brain Brew has shifted a large amount of their energy to distribute and
