Milford High School had two girls become homecoming royalty instead of having a male king and female queen at a recent Friday night football game. Students Abbey Stropes and Trinity Miller became Homecoming Royalty with one of the girls running as king on the ballot. The two girls held scepters instead of wearing crowns. Milford’s change to Homecoming Royalty instead of king and queen is the way homecoming will be handled forevermore, according to a news release from Milford Schools posted on Facebook. The terminology change was made to ensure all students have the opportunity to feel included and refl ect the voice of Milford’s collective student body, according to the release. A popularity contest is what the district called the longstanding homecoming tradition. “Choosing students for Homecoming Court is a longstanding tradition that has always been completely decided by student votes, and this year is no diff erent,” said Nancy House, Superintendent. “Congratulations to the 14 students who were picked by their peers to represent their class as

Homecoming Royalty and Court.” Students elect their choice of peers they want to represent their class, or grade, on the homecoming court. The students are listed as individuals, and not couples. “The selection of our Homecoming Royalty is an opportunity for our students to have their voice heard. I fully support the voice and choice demonstrated by our students in selecting this year’s Homecoming Royalty” said Josh Kauff man, Milford High School Principal.
About 30 employees of the Forest Hills Local Schools will lose their jobs if voters do not approve an operating levy in November. That’s according to Superintendent Scot Prebles, who said that number includes teachers, administrators and support staff . “These reductions are not threats; this is simply the reality we face,” Prebles said in an “open letter” sent to The Enquirer. “This level of reduction will aff ect each school and grade level, and the cuts will negatively impact the highquality education and student experience that are FHSD hallmarks.” Forest Hills residents will vote Nov. 5 on a 4.7-mill operating levy that would increase a homeowner’s property taxes annually by $164.50 per 100,000 of their residence’s market value. The levy would generate about $6.2 million a year for the school district from its tax base in Anderson Township and Newtown. The last time residents approved an operating levy in Forest Hills was in 2012.
Prebles: $2.4 million must be cut if levy fails Prebles said that if the levy fails in November, the school district must make $2.4 million in cuts. That’s in addition to the $1.5 million See FOREST HILLS, Page 2A

Cleats for Kids provides footwear to children Max Londberg
Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Editor’s note: This article is part of the Enquirer’s 2019 Women of the Year celebration, which honors women for making a diff erence in the community. It can be easy to take shoes for granted. But Bari Sandler Lansberg has met children forced to share shoes with a parent or to wear a pair that doesn't fi t or to be at a disadvantage in the gym or on the fi eld because of improper footwear. She's also seen that for those same children, when they fi nally have a decent pair of shoes, their joy seems to spread all the way down to their toes. Lansberg, executive director of the Ohio chapter of Cleats for Kids, has been named an Enquirer Woman of the Year for her philanthropy work, linking athletic shoes and equipment to children with limited or no access to them. Since she opened the Ohio chapter, she's helped give out about 10,000 items to children in the region, youth sports teams and schools. Most of the items have been shoes. The children she's worked with often don't know their shoe sizes and many express elation when they put on a perfectly fi tted shoe. One girl, Lansberg said, loved her shoes so much she wanted to sleep in them. Another told her she wouldn't have to share her shoes with her mother anymore. And a boy, after receiving a fresh pair of kicks, told Lansberg, "I can't believe you care about us so much. I want to give you a donation because you are good people." Sports can be expensive, and Lansberg hopes that through C4K, as her nonprofi t is known colloquially, she can create positive opportunities for youth. Last year, the nonprofi t partnered with Cincinnati Public Schools to outfi t

eight girls soccer teams with cleats, shin guards and balls. This year, the partnership grew to 20 teams. Cleats for Kids helped eliminate the entry barrier to sports for the girls, "so now they could just play," Lansberg said. "These girls have a mentor, are building relationships, friendships. It's so much more than just cleats. They're learning life lessons by being on a sport." Brent Langhorne, an elementary athletics coordinator at Cincinnati Public Schools, recommended Lansberg for the Woman of the Year honor.

He said Lansberg's eff orts have positively aff ected many students. "We have many growing initiatives in our elementary sport programs, and she has been instrumental in providing cleats and equipment to all participants," Langhorne said. "We look forward to a continued partnership with Cleats for Kids to impact as many students as possible." Lansberg started Cleats for Kids in Ohio after seeing the meaningful work her relatives were doing in Oklahoma, where they were members of the founding C4K chapter. When Lansberg started out, donations poured in, overfl owing the storage space she'd purchased for the cause. Now she has a facility in Milford where shelves line both sides of a long hallway. The shelves are buried under mainly shoes and shoe boxes, but basketballs, football pads, volleyballs, soccer balls and other equipment also fi ll the space. Offi cials from New Balance toured the facility earlier this year and were won over. The shoe company donated 1,600 new pairs – about one-and-a-half tons worth – of shoes to Cleats for Kids, marking the nonprofi t's fi rst large donation. Cleats for Kids is seeking new volunteers, Lansberg said, as well as donations to help outfi t even more children with equipment for gym activities and sports. Those interested can visit the Ohio Cleats for Kids' website to donate funds or to fi nd a donation bin. Cleats for Kids is currently seeking all types of items, but particularly basketball shoes, volleyball knee pads and track spikes for sprinters.

in cuts Forest Hills made earlier this year – which was $500,000 short of the $2 million in cuts the school district had pledged to make by May. Prebles said Forest Hills employees must be fi gured into reductions because more than 80 percent of the school district’s budget supports staff members. If the operating levy fails in November, “Class sizes would increase districtwide, and the high level of personalization that students currently benefi t from would no longer be achievable,” Prebles said. “Fewer staff members means reductions to specials programming at each of the district’s six elementary schools. At Nagel Middle School and at both high schools, course off erings would be reduced. “Extracurricular and co-curricular off erings would also decrease while pay-to-play fees would increase.

WHAT SHE SAYS: What inspires you to help others? "It’s these kids we help who inspire me. Their smiles and hugs but (also) some of their words I will never forget. One girl told me that she wouldn’t have to share shoes with her mom anymore. Another girl told me after giving her brand new socks and shoes – she said this was the best day of her life. It breaks my heart most of us take for granted getting new shoes, but for these kids, it can change their lives." What problem or need in the community would you like to see addressed? "I feel it’s so important for these kids to gain self-confi dence by being part of a team, staying active after school and having that mentor or coach for them. If I can provide the necessary sports gear to enable them to learn those life lessons, then I’m happy we can do that." Who infl uenced or inspired you to care about others? "My parents. ... They’ve instilled this tradition in me that I am passing on to my kids. And I’m so proud to be their daughter and I’m so proud to be one of The Cincinnati Enquirer's Woman of the Year, that people believe in what we’re doing and that we’re making a diff erence."
review and will likely be reduced,” Prebles said. Prebles said Forest Hills offi cials are not to blame for the fi nancial issues the school district faces. “This is not the result of a spending issue, but rather a revenue issue as the state’s school funding model does not include infl ation adjustments and it’s been seven years since the district received an increase in operating funds,” Prebles said. Prebles said the approval of the operating levy in November would allow Forest Hills to continue to provide highquality education for a great value to taxpayers. “Forest Hills is below the Hamilton County average for residential property tax rate and cost per pupil, but above average in the state’s performance index,” Prebles said. “In comparison to districts of similar size, Forest Hills has the eighth-highest performance statewide and our students are undoubtedly prepared for their future.”

YOUR HEALTH with Dr. Owens
Tobacco 21: Change the age. Break the cycle. Tobacco use remains the single most preventable cause of disease, death and disability in our region, and presents a burden to our health care system and economy.
O’dell M. Owens, MD, MPH President & CEO
We’ve made progress on tobacco:The percentage of adults who smoke has declined by more than half in the last 50 years. But recent trends in youth tobacco use, including e-cigarettes, are cause for concern. About 1 in 5 kids in the U.S. report using e-cigarettes. Data from the Greater Cincinnati Adult Tobacco Survey show that a majority of adult smokers in our region began smoking before age 21. The young adult brain continues to develop up to age 25. If we can get people to age 21 without starting to use tobacco, chances are reduced that they develop the habit. Policies to raise the age of sale for tobacco to 21 can reduce youth use and prevent future tobacco-related disease and death. Such policies are being implemented throughout the country. In our region: • Ohio’s Tobacco 21 policy went into effect Oct. 17. Passed as part of Gov. DeWine’s 2019 budget, it prohibits the sale of tobacco products, products including e e-cigarettes, to youth. • Additional regulations in Cincin nnati, effective Dec. 1, will create a licensing and enforcem ment system for tobacco retailers, helping to ensure thatt tobacco products— including e-cigarettes—are no ot sold to youth. • Health advocates in Southw western Ohio, Northern Kentucky and Southeastern n Indiana continue to work toward policies to reduce youth tobacco use.

Weeks into school year, 10 percentof Cincinnati Public buses still late Max Londberg Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
About 10% of bus routes at Cincinnati Public Schools have arrived at least 15 minutes late in recent weeks. That's according to data released by the district after an Enquirer records request. The data show that, despite improvements, tardiness is still a problem for buses, even into the seventh week of school. More than one-third of busing routes were late in the fi rst week of school, according to the data. About a quarter were late in weeks two and three. In weeks four through six, about 10% of routes were late to school. And over the fi rst two days of week seven, Sept. 30 and Oct. 1, about 9% of routes were late. Kelly Hand's fi rst-grade son, Clark, attends Sands Montessori. Hand said his bus was late every day through the fi rst four weeks of school, including once for more than an hour. On that day, in the third week of school, Hand said she called First Student, a bus company with which CPS contracts. An employee told her the bus would "show up when it shows up," Hand said. The bus showed up on time throughout the fi fth week, Hand said, but then was late again every day during the sixth week of school. Now it's on time again, but the tardiness has taken a toll. "Having a late bus was physically and mentally draining," Hand said. "You never knew how long you would have to wait or if the bus would actually come. The number of hours I put in emailing and calling people was frustrating." Hand sometimes elected to drive her son and Anthony Beamon, another Sands student who reports to the same bus stop, to school rather than wait. "He’s missing class time, and he needs all his class time," said Mycol

Johnson, Anthony's father. "He's defi nitely missing class time." Jeff Geoppinger, who has four children enrolled at St. Mary in Hyde Park, told The Enquirer in September that his children's bus never arrived at school on time in the fi rst 11 days of school. The Enquirer requested busing timing data in late August, after one CPS parent told of worrying her daughter was dead when she was late off the bus to daycare one day after school. The parent, Jillian Whitaker, tried to locate her daughter by calling Queen City Transportation, another company CPS uses for busing, but was placed on hold. She called the police before learning her daughter was fi nally dropped off at daycare, late but safe. The timing of drop-off s have improved in the afternoons, with the rate of late drop-off s decreasing from 15% in the fi rst week of school in mid-August to just 2% in the sixth week, which ended on Sept. 27.

Scouts to plant hundreds of trees to improve the envioronment on Camp Conservation Day On Saturday, Nov. 9, over 350 Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, leaders, parents, siblings, college students and environmental groups will come together to plant native trees and shrubs at Camp Friedlander in Clermont County. Camp Friedlander is celebrating 100 years of serving Scouts in the region, but like most natural areas in the Cincinnati region, it has been devastated by the Emerald Ash Borer. The Dan Beard Council, which represents this 9-county region of southeast Ohio and northern Kentucky, has been conducting Camp Conservation Day for 15 years. Participation in this event grows each year, which benefi ts the 500 acre property. The goal for the camp is to provide a quality outdoor experience for the youth of Greater Cincinnati, just minutes from downtown. At Camp Conservation Day, Scouts as young as 6 years of age are taught how to plant trees, identify honeysuckle and learn the fundamentals of ecology and forest management. The Scouts also take their newly learned skills home where they perform these same activities in the yards, schools, churches and neighborhoods in their community. Camp Conservation Day is often the Scouts fi rst hands-on introduction to
biology. During the event, there are demonstrations and mentoring by trained biologists, many of them Scout leaders who also started their introduction to biology in Scouting. The Dan Beard Council, Boy Scouts of America is happy to welcome the Duke Energy Foundation as a Camp Conservation Day sponsor. The Duke Energy Foundation has been supporting this event for the past two years because it combines the reforesting of the region with youth education and public outreach. Duke Energy employees volunteer with the planting. Additionally, private donors and the Silver Beaver Alumni Association, a group of recognized Scout leaders, contribute to match the Duke Energy Foundation’s grant. Everyone in the community is invited to participate in Camp Conservation Day upon registration.

Eight questions to ask before choosing senior living Joyce Wiswell Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Leaving behind a beloved residence can be bittersweet. Yet for America’s older population, the idea of transitioning into a senior living community has become less daunting over time. Stereotypical hospital-like facilities have evolved into true, fully equipped communities that off er a wide range of benefi ts for residents looking to maximize their retirement years. The choices are plentiful these days — but before you fi nd the right fi t, it’s important to know what to ask. Here are eight questions that should be at the top of your list when selecting a senior living community. What kind of senior living community do I need? Senior communities range from quiet buildings with individual apartments that don’t off er meals or activities to busy enclaves with numerous restaurants and thriving social calendars. Many people prefer a mix of both, so an independent living arrangement is frequently the best choice. This typically includes a private apartment unit, but it also off ers common areas where residents can socialize — and it may organize group outings to places like the market or the theater. These facilities often include 24/7 medical care for both emergency situations and routine health checks, so be sure to ask. Another option is an assisted living community, which is ideal if you need help taking medication, cooking meals, cleaning the house, bathing or dressing. Residents are empowered to maintain their independence and enjoy a sense of personal freedom and autonomy while also having a safety net of day-to-day assistance. Nursing homes, with their around-
the-clock supervision and skilled medical services, are for those who need intensive medical care. Some senior communities off er all three of these choices: They have everything from individual apartments to assisted living units to nursing homes on one campus. Can I aff ord it? Senior living can range from $2,000 a month to $8,000 a month, so choosing the right community can make a big difference. You often get what you pay for, but there are some communities where you get top-of-the-line care and amenities at a great price. The Ashford of Mt. Washington is one of those communities. They off er 24/7 nursing support and personalized care plans in a beautiful new community which generally costs 10-20% less than comparable communities. How do they do it? Their parent company owns its own construction company which allows it to build communities without all the markups of outside vendors. This allows it to off er reasonable rates. There is help for those who are worried about being able to pay for senior living. In general, there are seven diff erent options available to help cover housing costs: personal funds, veterans benefi ts, Medicaid assistance, insurance plans[AP1] [ZA2] , selling your house, bridge loans and reverse mortgages. The Ohio Department of Aging can help you fi gure it all out, and many reputable senior communities also off er fi nancial counseling. What if I run out of money? This may be the most important question of all. Many people have enough resources for a couple years but may outlive their resources. And in most senior living communities, if you run out of money you may be forced to move into a nursing home that takes government assistance. Such an experience can be especially traumatic for the el-
derly. However, there are assisted living communities who accept a Medicaid Waiver if you’ve lived at that community for a few years before running out of money. Be sure to ask how many rooms the community has for Medicaid Waiver residents. In some cases, a community may only have two or three rooms, and once those are full you may be left with no choice but to move again. The Ashford communities, with two in Columbus and one in Cincinnati at Mt. Washington, accepts Medicaid Waiver for anyone who has lived there for one year before they run out of resources. And, they don’t have a limit on Medicaid Waiver rooms. What exactly am I paying for? Not all senior housing is created equal, so be sure you understand what’s covered. Utilities like heat, electricity and water are typically included in the monthly fee. If meals are included, fi nd out exactly what that means. Three a day? Is breakfast cooked, or is it just pastries and coffee? Is there a hot lunch, or are premade sandwiches off ered? Also, ask about any community living fees. Often, senior living communities will show you a manageable rent price, but you may not realize that care fees are all in addition to the rent, which could add 20% - 80% to your monthly cost. Make sure to ask what the all-in cost could be. What isn’t included? Comparing senior living community pricing can be almost impossible since each community off ers something different. Some communities provide only two meals a day. Line items like cable television, telephone bills, transportation, pet fees and renters insurance may be an individual’s responsibility. And in most cases, medical and personal expenses are not covered. So, understand what’s included to make sure you’re
comparing apples to apples. What if my needs change? As you age, you may require additional help. Be sure to ask if you can stay in your apartment and receive additional in-home care if needed, and what it will cost. Many — but not all — senior communities off er this. Will I get lonely or bored? The National Institute on Aging points to several studies that show a strong correlation between social interaction and health and well-being among older adults. Based on these fi ndings, staying socially active can help ward off illnesses such as Alzheimer’s disease and cancer. Social isolation, on the other hand, can have signifi cant adverse effects on physical and psychological health. That’s why it’s important to check out the social activities at prospective residences. Do they off er group games or discussions? Are there regularly scheduled outings to cultural events? Do they have classes that may pique your interest? Even if you’re not the group activity type, it’s nice to know your options. How’s the food? Every community will likely tell you their food is good. Show up around lunch time and ask for a sample of food to try it for yourself. And make sure to ask the residents what they think about the food. Also, ask for a tour of the kitchen. A community that’s hesitant to show you their kitchen may not be a good fi t for you. A good community respects the wishes of its individuals. No one should ever feel strong-armed into activities they won’t enjoy. Look for a property that acknowledges individual interests, needs and goals for making the most out of senior living.

An Anderson Township man was arrested Thursday, Oct. 3 after police said they found hundreds of images and videos containing child pornography on his phone. Thomas J. Thompson, 62, is charged with fi ve counts of pandering obscenity involving a minor, all felonies. Hamilton County sheriff 's deputies reported that they learned child pornography fi les had been uploaded to Thompson's email account. Upon interviewing him, investigators said Thompson admitted to looking at
child pornographjy for two years and possessing images and videos on his phone. After a search of his phone, the material was Thomas J. discovered, according to Thompson the sheriff 's offi ce. Several of the images and videos show grown men having sex with children, according to court documents. Thompson was being held at the Hamilton County Justice Center on a $25,000 bond and awaiting trial when this article was originally published.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Will the Brown family listen to empty seats? Being a Bengals fan is something I can't control. It's in my blood.Try as I might to divorce myself from caring about their successes and failures, I will never stop rooting for this team. Years of frustration and mismanagement, however, led me to the decision in 2015 to no longer give this organization any more of my money. No tickets, no merchandise, no concessions, nothing. I would argue that the mismanagement has been worse in recent years, so I am writing to off er up a plea to the rest of Bengals nation to join me in sending a fi nancial message to the organization. Let me make something clear – I am not a Brown-family-basher. I think they honestly try their best to provide winning football here in Cincinnati. They've made positive eff orts to retain good players such as A.J. Green, Carlos Dunlap, Geno Atkins, Tyler Boyd and several others. They have also made what are nothing short of incompetent decisions in recent history, retaining of the likes of Adam Jones, Vontaze Burfi ct, Bobby Hart and several others, while letting guys like Andrew Whitworth walk in free agency because they didn't think he was any good anymore. The lack of success speaks to their mismanagement of the franchise a lot more eloquently than I ever could. The Brown family listens to empty seats. They listened to empty seats last year when they brought in a new coaching staff . However, Zac Taylor will be resigned to
failure until there are more substantive changes within the organization. We, as a fan base, have the power to initiate those changes, but we need to be crystal clear about our expectations. I suggest we start with the following demands: ❚ Sign a proven, experienced general manager ❚ Signifi cantly expand the organization's scouting capacity ❚ Invest in forwardthinking strategies, such as a robust football analytics department This is not asking much of the organization. We must simply demand that they catch up with the rest of the NFL so that our hard-earned money does not go toward mediocrity, embarrassment and abject failure anymore. We as consumers vote with our dollars. I will never pass judgment on someone for however they choose to spend their money, but we as fans hold the power to initiate real change within the organization. Some may say, "Well what if they move the team?" To that I say, "Let em." Do you honestly think that someone wouldn't jump at the chance to own a football franchise here in this town? And if they refuse to change, wouldn't we all be better for them having left and starting anew? Who Dey. Adam Erskine, Westwood Are Bengals really worth the cost to taxpayers? The editorial on the latest "Bungled" stadium deal made me remember

how we got to this point. I had noted that while some of The Enquirer articles referred to the original deal as "the worst stadium deal ever," none of them actually spelled out how bad it was. For those who were not here when the original deal was written (by a council member who now works for the Bengals), there were two stadiums built at the same time. The Reds stadium (Great American Ball Park) cost $284 million and is used 82 times a year. The other (Paul Brown Stadium) cost $450 million and is used for 10 games a year. Originally, the football stadium was designed to be able to be used for soccer as well (Gee, we would not have needed the FC Cincinnati stadium.) However, by some mishap, the piers were put where it prevented realignment for a soccer fi eld. Not only that, but all of a sudden, there were two practice fi elds. Now, I read that the stadium – note again, used for 10 games a year – needs "upgrades" to the value of $250 million. Think about this: since the lease expires in 2026, that equates to 75 home games, which works out to be $3.3 million per game. PX columnist Jason Williams suggested that the question should be put before the voters: Do you want to keep paying out large amounts of taxes to keep a team that does not have a winning record and will only keep demanding more? This is a good place to mention the latest demand – an indoor practice fi eld. Seriously, I always thought the expression was "practice makes perfect" but that has been "Bungled" as well. If the team is worth the reported $2 billion suggested, maybe they could invest some of that in the community. Or has he said just take the money and run? Oh, another thing they are not good at.

‘Homecoming Royalty’ is a sign of the times whose time has come Brian McCauley Columnist Cincinnati Enquirer
Among the things that really did happen in my life and seem downright ridiculous today is that: 1) in 1988, I wrote a story on the cover of USA Today about the fi rst integrated prom in the small Arkansas town just outside of Memphis. The big cliff hanger was whether the races would dance together. 2) My kindergarten class was among the fi rst integrated classes in my state, which means Louisiana knowingly broke federal law for more than 10 years. A generation later, get this. In generally conservative-leaning Milford, a Cincinnati suburb, the high school has changed the titles of the heads of its homecoming court. There was no Homecoming King and Queen on Friday night at Milford High
School’s football stadium. Two girls were the top vote-getters for the titles traditionally held by a boy and a girl, a “King and a Queen.” So Milford High School, whose students live in a county where nearly 7 out of 10 voters chose Republican President Trump, has changed the name of its Homecoming Court to “Homecoming Royalty and Court.” Good for them. For many, this is still a big deal, but to Milford High School, not only is it a sign of the times, it falls in line with what the students want. Bravo! The adults are letting kids have more of a say so in the way students run auxiliary organizations. This happened on Josh Kauff man’s watch. Kauff man has been principal at Milford for fi ve years after holding various positions at Fairfi eld, Indian Hill, and Oak Hills. “It’s about inclusiveness,” Kauff man told me. The school wanted to create “a
venue for every student to have the opportunity to participate.” In all, 14 students were chosen by their peers to represent their class. In a statement, the school said choosing the court is a popularity contest. “Historically, the king and queen have been senior students and the homecoming court is made up of students representing all grades. Students are fi rst asked to write down their choice of the classmate they want to represent their class on the homecoming court. Students are listed on the ballot as individuals, not as couples. From that list, the top nominees at each grade level are voted upon by the students in their grade level to represent them on Homecoming Court, and to select the ‘king and queen.’ “ Moving forward, Milford High School is going with the gender-neutral theme, which is not that unusual, actually. Recently, White Station High School in Memphis selected a gay male student as
Homecoming Royalty. Purdue University last year chose its fi rst gender-neutral “Royalty.” There are probably those who see the change as political correctness run amok or even heresy. If I’m being honest, there was a time I would have called political correctness on this one. Now, not so much. What’s the harm? Integration happened, among tons of other societal changes. There are plenty of people who stood on the wrong side of history. We lived (are living) through it. Civilization still stands. So, good for you, Milford High kids, parents and administrators. Good for you. Byron McCauley, a former Milford resident, is an Enquirer columnist writing about the intersection of race, politics, social justice and free enterprise. Email: bmccauley@enquirer.com.

Milford man sentenced after Batavia security guard punched in the face Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
A Milford man was sentenced Thursday, Oct. 3 to a year in prison after he pleaded guilty to punching a security guard in the face at the Batavia Social Security offi ce, according to a press release from the Department of Justice. Daniel Toops, 35, went to the offi ce located at 1050 Hospital Drive in Batavia
on April 11. According to the release, Toops was “dissatisfi ed” with the information one of the Social Security offi cials provided and began to leave the building saying, “F*** you, mother f***er. I’ll come back and f*** you mother f****ers up.” One of the facility’s security guards approached Toops on his way out, according to court records. The guard told Toops he “cannot make threats like that.”
Toops responded with, “F*** you, b****. I’ll say whatever I want,” according to court documents. The guard then grabbed Toops’ hoodie and told him to drop his backpack, court documents state. Toops refused. The altercation continued and Toops eventually punched the security guard under the left side of her jaw, according to the documents.
Toops also refused the guard’s orders to turn around, put his hands behind his back and get on the ground. According to court documents, the guard then sprayed Toops with mace and hit him in the leg with her baton. Toops left the building and was later arrested at a nearby restaurant, court records state. Toops will be released from prison with supervision after one year.

Make layered southwestern cornbread salad for Halloween buff et I had forgotten about this salad until I enjoyed it at a recent party. Made by friend Denise Kelley, that salad looked like it came from a food magazine. So attractive that I wouldn’t let anyone dig in until I took a photo! Thinking a bit ahead, this is a yummy, do-ahead, fi lling side salad for a Halloween buff et. Make it an appetizer by layering in a casserole. Scoop with black and orange tortilla chips. Or use a trifl e or glass bowl for a side salad. Depending on size, you’ll get thick, or thin layers. Dig deep for every layer of deliciousness!

This year, my jumbo jalapeno peppers grew amazingly well. I’m still harvesting them, along with Serranos. So my goal is to make my annual batches of candied jalapeno peppers. But before I do that, some of those jalapenos will go into a layered southwestern cornbread salad for a family gathering. With a defi nite Tex-Mex fl avor, it’s the new generation cornbread salad.
Layered southwestern cornbread salad This can, and should, be done ahead. If using a cornbread mix, use the larger size for the 9x13 casserole. I combined Denise’s and my recipe to come up with this version. Ingredients: Dressing 1 pkg. spicy Ranch dressing mix 11⁄ 3 cups buttermilk 1 cup mayonnaise Pico de Gallo

SCHOOL NEWS Study brings CNE High School students into woods, out of their shell Trekking deep into the woods behind Clermont Northeastern High School as a thick canvas of trees tried to shade a noon sun, a group of students found Reagan at the bottom of a ravine. At the edge of the hill overlooking the ravine, just off the path, others discovered Hank under some brush, shielding himself from the heat. Others reunited with Rylee, AB and Trev. They made notes about where they found their friends, took some photos, then headed back to the high school. Without Reagan, Hank, Rylee, AB or Trev. This is Scott Wells’s sixth-period zoology class, doing “real science,” as Wells described it. Senior Dakota Brown, carrying what looks like a cross between a “classic” house TV antenna and a support for an old-style clothesline, holds Reagan, who starts to get gets impatient and struggles to get away, scratching Brown. Junior Jake Ansteatt had carried Reagan from her burrow – although not from her home. Reagan is an Eastern box turtle, one of 10 Wells’s class is tracking as part of its Turtles and Telemetry project. “I think it’s cool because, they’re cool they just take their house with them. They just waddle up and curl up in their own little hole whenever they want and poke out and say hi,” Brown said. Wells identifi ed Brown as one of the class’s more adept “turtle fi nders.” Little is known about Eastern box turtles, but Wells and his students – two classes participate in the project – are determined to change that. The school received a grant to buy GPS systems, transmitters, radio antennae and receivers. When school began in August, they went back to the preserve, which is part of CNE property, not quite knowing what to expect. The 10 they are tracking are part of a population of more than 20 they have found, which has prompted students to want to pursue more grant money for the hardware, Wells said. Turtles not on the list of 10 are recorded with a photo of their shell markings, which, like human fi ngerprints, are unique. The information is entered into a binder Wells carries. “We have found out too that our population of turtles is very high here, which is very cool, and it’s a very high amount of males, which turtles are very temperature dependent on determining gender, so we’re not sure what that’s telling us yet,” Wells said, explaining that he and his students took on the project without any hypotheses or preconceived notions of what they might fi nd. “This is us doing real science. We’re generating more and more questions, because as we do this they start asking more and more questions, and they’re going to get ready to start creating their own hypotheses to start doing their research, because it’s too hard to do the research when they don’t know anything yet, but we have been tracking for a while, they’ve become very familiar with the turtles that we have found and they have started asking more and more questions to where they can hopefully start developing their own needs research,” Wells said. They have learned, for example, that of the 10 turtles tracked, seven tend to stay on one side of the preserve and three on another. They have also found more males than females. Wells said turtle gender determination is infl uenced by temperature, but “we’re not sure what that’s telling us yet.” “I didn’t think they would move as much as they do sometimes, because sometimes they will move really far. I think they said that one was over there yesterday, now it’s all the way over

here,” Ansteatt said. “Yeah, like especially there’s this one and there’s another female that like to be out of their shells and all of the other ones they just kind of hide up inside of them and just don’t do anything, and then there’s this one and the other female that try to run away,” Brown said. Even when they “run,” they don’t go far, which is one of the advantages of studying the species, Wells said. “Some of them are hyper, they want to try to run around. Some of them just sit there, they just want to sit in their shell,” junior Dominic Meyer said. CNE has developed a partnership with Miami University and the University of Toledo, and Wells said they will share data as the study progresses. West Clermont School District has a similar program that operates as a club and has been tracking turtles at Cincinnati Nature Center for 14 years. Wells said Milford and Sycamore also track turtles, but CNE is the only school that can do it on their campus. “We have a unique ability to do this daily and actually collect a ton of data in shorter amounts of time,” Wells said. “It’s almost like graduate work. You start studying something and you don’t know what you’ll be studying, and they’re truly doing graduate-level work.” Once the temperature cools and the days get shorter, the turtles will borrow deeper into the ground and the tracking will pause until spring. The study, however, will continue, as Wells said “I plan on doing this at least 22 more years, until I can retire.” Junior Rachel Noonan named Hank, one of the 10 turtles. Students who originally found the turtles got to name them. The transmitters ands receivers

operate on 10 frequencies, noted CNEAA through CNEAJ. “The channel thing is on H, so we kind of come up with names, and Hank just popped into my head, so we named it Hank,” Noonan said. She, along with her classmates, enjoys the chance to get outside. “I just like the interaction with fi nding the turtles. It’s kind of challenging at times and can be frustrating, but it’s worth it. I like it. It’s a lot of fun,” she said. That is one of the side benefi ts of the study. “I just can’t get over how unique it is and how these kids, I’ve never seen any of my science kids get so caught up in this and doing their own research on their own time and fi guring things out

Sports Anderson girls win their fi rst ECC soccer championship Scott Springer
Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
ANDERSON TOWNSHIP - Needing a win to gain their fi rst-ever Eastern Cincinnati Conference championship, the Anderson High School girls soccer team used a pair of second-half goals to defeat Kings 3-1 Tuesday, Oct. 8. Karly Steinher led the home team with a pair of goals. A tie would have given the title to Loveland for the sixth time in eight years. Instead, Anderson joins Milford and Turpin as the only winners besides Loveland in the ECC since the league’s inception in 2012. “From the beginning, we knew this was going to be a special year,” Steinher said. “We lost 14 seniors, but we had a ton of girls coming up who were willing to do the work. It’s so easy to be successful when everyone’s willing to give it their all.” The game was not without a scare. Kings sophomore Maya Barrett nailed a penalty kick with 13:48 left in the fi rst half to give the visitor’s a brief lead. Kings coach Katelyn Newton, a former Anderson (and Northern Kentucky University) player and daughter of Anderson athletic director Chris Newton, had the chance to play spoiler on her old home fi eld. “We always tell the girls to strike fi rst,” Newton said. “Anderson’s a good team, so I think we rose to the occasion. To put them down fi rst was good for our team morale. Unfortunately, it didn’t stay, but I think it’s all about striking fi rst. Hopefully, we can carry that into the tournament.” The goal by Kings was just the sixth time Anderson had been scored upon. It also would wrap up the Kings scoring. “She (Newton) had us on the ropes there in the beginning,” Anderson coach Andy Boyd said. “I was defi nitely nervous. We couldn’t tie. We were going to win or we were going to lose. A tie was a loss for us. Our motto was we’re going to See SOCCER, Page 2B

Also in the 12-team pool of qualifi ers, Indian Hill fi nished at No. 9 shooting a 696, one shot behind Hawken and one shot ahead of John Glenn. Indian Hill's Peter Sheakley fi nished in a tie for No. 7 with an 11-over par 155. Mason Witt of Greenview won the individual championship, shooting a six-
over par 150. Witt was paired with Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy's Jack Sonne, who chased Witt down to the fi nal holes. Sonne trailed Witt by a single stroke before bogeying the fi nal two holes of the day while Witt parred both to win. Sonne fi nished at fi fth place with a 153 overall score. Mariemont's Jack Neville fi nished one-shot behind Sonne. On the girls side of Division II, Alter appeared again, fi nishing in a tie for the No. 4 position with Huron. Lima Central Catholic took the trophy, its secondstraight championship, shooting an overall 647. Marlington fi nished in second place by 11 strokes. Clinton-Massie golfer Gabby Woods fi nished in a tie for fourth place with her three-over par 143.

ride or die.” With 1:40 left in the half, Anderson’s Steinher tied the game. Midway through the second half, Christine Dorsey broke the tie, then Steinher used her head for her second goal and the team’s third to ice the game. On Senior Night, the score went from Mackenzie Burdick’s corner kick to Steiner’s cranium to the net. “It was nerve-wracking,” Steinher said of the tight fi rst half. “We worked so hard and we weren’t going to fi nish on a bad note. We needed it because we wanted the ECC more than anything.” Defender Burdick takes the majority of Anderson’s free kicks and corners and is always cognizant of where Steinher’s No. 8 jersey is situated. Specifi cally, the head attached to the jersey. “I know where she is every time,” Burdick said. “I know where she’s running and that’s where I try to place the ball.” Burdick previously played at the Cincinnati Development Academy and has enjoyed the senior run back in the high school game. Anderson fi nishes the regular season 11-1-3 (5-0-1 ECC). Their one loss was to Mount Notre Dame of the Girls Greater Catholic League. The Milford, Ursuline and Centerville games all ended in ties. “Our defense is pretty good,” Boyd said. “Our center backs are pretty good, our outside backs are pretty good, our goalkeeper’s pretty good and our No. 6 is pretty good. We graduated 14 seniors last year and everybody thought we’d have a down year. I saw this coming four years ago when these guys were freshmen. There were good players who were just waiting their turn.” An early season 2-1 win over Loveland was crucial to the title and was the fi rst Anderson win over the fi ve-time league champions since 2012. Next up for the Anderson girls is the OHSAA tournament where they will face the winner of Western Brown/Princeton at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 17.

Farm tours off ered near Bethel Ole Fisherman George Rooks Guest columnist
Howdy folks, Recently, I went with the Kenner’s for a birthday for my adopted granddaughter Claire down to the Biagio’s Bistro restaurant. This place was on 308 Ludlow Avenue in Cincinnati. The food was good. This was in the area of hospitals and the university. Mike drove and knew where we were going. I had no idea where we were and on the way back we traveled the same roads that we use
to go to Lower Price Hill to serve food. While I was at Scott’s Auto Repair in Bethel getting some work done on my truck, a feller came in and Scott introduced him to me. He and his family have a farm on Bass Road off State Route 133 close to Bethel. I was surprised to learn they have a goat dairy herd so I went over there. They have three beautiful young ladies that take care of the goats and milk them. They have 26 baby goats and counting the babies they have 94 total goats. They sell the milk to a company in Northern Cincinnati. They make goat cheese and Jungle Jim’s store sells the cheese. They told me the Nashville Zoo is get-
ting fi ve of the babies. The babies were a few days old and would run and play. The adult goats will give 4 to 7 pounds of milk each day. The three young ladies take care of the goats and of course mom and dad are there to help if they need it. The girls put the hay and straw up in the barn. They also give farm tours. They have built a new barn for the goats so they won’t be so crowded. They also have some sheep. The lady said next year they have requests for sheep milk so the young ladies will be milking them. They are about 3 1/2 miles out of Bethel on 133 to Bass Road. Their mailbox number is 3706. There is an old church on the right that is no longer in use. Turn on Bass Road and the farm is
on the left back a short distance from the main road. I went down to Red Lobster for a birthday celebration for a young feller that was 18 years old. He will graduate from school this year. There were about 20 people there along with two babies and some young kids. It was a fi ne evening. The boy was very pleased with all the people there. Start your week by going to the house of worship of your choice and praising the good Lord. God bless all... More later...

Until now, many within the medical community − including myself − believed it was impossible to strengthen the muscles that control the bladder without drugs, surgery, or exercises. Remarkably, it has now been proven this can be achieved with a tiny a pill. Albeit, a natural one. The secret? A revolutionary discovery that helps the bladder create a tighter seal...while also preventing your bladder from releasing involuntarily. Research shows that as we age, the muscles surrounding the bladder can deteriorate. This is triggered by hormonal changes in the body which results in muscle atrophy, the medical term for muscle shrinking. When these muscles get too small and weak, they cannot seal the bladder shut. That’s why you may leak, dribble, and experience uncontrollable accidents. Worse, because the bladder fails to empty completely, you feel like you need to go all the time! And as old urine just sits there, it can seep into your blood stream, causing painful infections which need multiple rounds of antibiotics to get rid of.
“URIVARX TARGETS A FAILING BLADDER IN A WHOLE NEW WAY”
In its most recent clinical trial, scientists discovered a trio of science based compounds that actually strengthen the tiny muscles surrounding the bladder. So effectively that they were shown to decrease adult diaper use by a staggering 400%. Even more surprising, these three compounds also had a rejuvenating effect on the bladder, allowing it to work like it was years younger. The result? All the worries you have about your overactive bladder can finally be put to rest! And you can enjoy a new level of comfort of confidence that you once had before. And it starts happening in minutes.
IMPRESSIVE CLINICAL RESULTS
The exciting clinical results published on the government clinical website clinicaltrials.gov show that UriVarx™ can strengthen your bladder fast, significantly reducing the urine urgency and leaks. In a new double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study, 142 men and women with bladder control issues were separated into two groups. The first group was given a placebo while the other received UriVarx™. The results were incredible. The participants who received UriVarx™ saw major improvements in leaking, pressure, and the urgency to go − all without the usual side effects seen in prescription drugs! They also reported fewer trips to the bathroom both day and night.
• • • • •
Overall, the UriVarx™ group experienced: 56% Reduction in Urge Incontinence 66% Reduction in Stress Incontinence 61% Reduction in Urgency 33% Reduction in Frequency 46% Reduction in Nighttime Bathroom Trips
Additionally, at the end of clinical trial and after seeing the results, 84% of the participants taking UriVarx™ said it significantly improved their quality of life. “The clinical findings are incredible, but people still wonder if it will really work” explains lead developer for Urivarx. “It’s normal to be skeptical, but we’ve seen thousands of UriVarx™ users get results exactly like the participants in the study. It’s an amazing product.”
EXCITING RESULTS FROM URIVARX USERS
Many UriVarx™ users say their bladders have never been stronger. For the first time in years, they are confident and in complete control. Adult pads and diapers are no longer a big worry. “It’s exciting to hear all of the positive feedback” explains a spokesperson for the company. “Its also helps to gain perspective. These people will share how embarrassed
they’ve become over the situation.Howuncomfortable it makes social outings and the interruptions it causes in daily life. They can’t believe the change Urivarx has made. The fear is gone. They are back to feeling in control”
HOW IT WORKS
UriVarx™ is a pill that’s taken just once daily. It does not require a prescription. The active ingredients are patented natural extracts. Research shows that as we get older, the muscles which surround the bladder weaken. This is caused by hormonal changes in the body that causes the muscles to atrophy and weaken. When they become too small and weak, they cannot seal your bladder shut, which causes leaking, accidents, among other incontinence symptoms. It also prevents your bladder from fully emptying, which can result in persistent bacterial infections and UTIs. UriVarx’s™ active ingredient targets the muscles around the bladder, making them stronger. Supporting ingredients in UriVarx™ support kidney function and overall urinary health.
BLADDER PROBLEMS GONE
With daily use, UriVarx™ can restore strong bladder control and help users overcome leakage without the negative side effects or interactions associated with drugs. Leakage sufferers can now put an end to the uncontrollable urges, the embarrassing accidents, and enjoy an entirely new level of comfort and confidence.
HOW TO GET URIVARX IN OHIO
This is the official release of UriVarx™ in Ohio. As such, the company is offering a special discounted supply to anyone suffering from bladder issues who calls within the next 48 hours. A special hotline number and discounted pricing has been created for all Ohio residents. Discounts will be available starting today at 6:00AM and will automatically be applied to all callers.

Her love for theatre continued and she was always encouraged by her late husband Fred Furterer who she married in 1954. She continued performing with the Barnstormers in Ridley Park and then with the Battle Creek Civic Theatre in Michigan. In 1977 Pat and Fred moved to Loveland. Pat went to audition at another local theatre but couldn’t fi nd the address! She came home and told Fred, “I’m starting a community theatre company in Loveland!” And 40 years and 115 shows later, Loveland Stage Company is an active and vibrant part of the community. The fi rst meeting of the as yet unnamed theatre group was in the Furterer’s living room in Pheasant Hills in May, 1979. Pat put an ad in the paper inviting anyone interested in starting a community theatre group.

By Dr. Stephen Klayman, DC US− As researchers, when running new clinical trials, we never know what to expect. Most of the time they are complete failures, forcing us back to the drawing board. But in very rare cases, results far exceed our expectations and these product work better than we could have ever imagined. This is the case with the most recent breakthrough in Urology called Urivarx, a new bladder control pill which has performed extraordinary in every test. From dramatic reductions in urgency and frequency… dribbling and leaking… nighttime bathroom trips… and even diaper use…the improvements men and women are seeing with this nonprescription pill have been phenomenal. So phenomenal, in fact, it’s been rumored that the new capsule may soon replace diapers in pharmacies across the country. Why so effective? We asked its developers that same question.

Camele and Kitty Kieff er. (Kate Arnold is in the current production of “Cole” and Deirdre Dyson was the artistic director of the most recent production of “Mamma Mia”. Dick Dyson is currently on the board and Sue Lundy and John Schneider are still active members.) After deciding on the group’s name, the fi rst show, “My Three Angels”, was presented in October of 1979 with two shows at the original Loveland Hurst High school on Lebanon road. The Loveland Kiwanis club was still active at this time and the two groups joined eff orts for a few years. “Bye Bye Birdie” was presented in 1978 and was the fi nal Kiwanis Kaper event. Pat says the biggest hurdle the group has faced was fi nding a permanent home. At various times they have performed at the original Loveland Hurst High school, Shields Crossing (a restaurant now closed) Greater Loveland Historical Museum and at Nisbet Park. But they needed a permanent home. They received permission in 1997 from the city of Loveland to have a fundraiser for Loveland Stage company in the Crist Theatre with the idea of eventually purchasing the building. “There were no restrooms and no air conditioning and the building had been inhabited by “critters.” It was a mess” says Pat. The Loveland Fire Fighters Association, a non-profit group, purchased the theatre and leased it to the stage company for $1 a year. After 6 months, they gave the building to the group with certain stipulations. Pat attributes much of this eff ort to Otto Huber, Assistant Fire Chief at the time, and currently Fire Chief. Oct. 20, 2008 marked another, and more heart breaking hurdle. In the early morning hours a fi re started in the upstairs of the theatre and quickly consumed the entire roof. Once again the Loveland Fire Department stepped up and immediately started a fund for repairing the damaged building. Pat remembers friends and neighbors giving her checks for the restoration and especially remembers one little boy who gave her the contents of his piggy bank so the building could be repaired. Peggy Goodwin wrote a number of grants which also helped with the backing. A campaign to raise funds “Rebuild and Play On” led by Deirdre Dyson helped to bring in necessary funds to get more repair work done. And 13 months later, the curtain opened at the renovated theatre with the Ohio premiere of “Miss Saigon.” Besides founding the group, Pat has held every board offi ce and is currently President Emeritus. She has also done every job necessary to produce a show from directing to producing to publicity to stage manager,etc. but has never done lighting or sound.. Those that know Pat think that if the need was there, she would do that too! Her all time favorite role to perform was Mame in Bonnie Schanz’s production of “Mame” and her favorite all – time show that she has directed was the group’s fi rst production of “Fiddler on the Roof ” in 1986 with Churck Wente as Tevye and Jeanne Smearsoll Welsh as Golde. And in case any of you have heard the rumor, Pat says, “Yes, we do have a ghost! Mr. Crist comes to visit on occasion and loves to mess with our lighting equipment!” Come and see the group’s 40th year celebration “Cole – An Entertainment-The Life and Fabulous Music of Cole Porter” November 1-17 at the theatre located at 111 S. 2nd St. (Rt. 48) Loveland, 45140. Performances on Nov. 1, 2, 8, 9, 15 and 16 are at 7:30pm and on Sundays, November 3, 10 and 17 at 3 p.m. Tickets are $20.

Democratic debate: Why the 2020 election will be decided in suburbs like Westerville Jessie Balmert
Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
WESTERVILLE - On a sunny day in uptown Westerville, you can fi nd a microcosm of the nation’s politics among those sipping their coff ee or walking their dogs down the mum-lined street. A man washing the windows of a shop’s Halloween display grew up as a Democrat but plans to vote for President Donald Trump again. A young, enthusiastic supporter of tech entrepreneur Andrew Yang is waiting for a friend outside a local coff ee shop. Two friends are walking to lunch, wondering whether former Vice President Joe Biden’s remarks are too “fl ubberly.” On Tuesday, this Columbus suburb of about 40,000 residents will host the fourth Democratic Party presidential debate. Twelve candidates will take the stage at Otterbein University, a private liberal arts college of 3,000 students where former Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a frequent Trump critic, has an offi ce. Westerville is a swing city in a swing state. While Ohio selected former President Barack Obama twice, Westerville voters picked the GOP contenders in 2008 and 2012. But when Trump won Ohio by 8 percentage points in 2016, Westerville voted for Democrat Hillary Clinton instead. And in 2018, while Republicans rolled in most statewide races including governor, voters in Columbus’ northern suburbs ousted Republicans in favor of Democratic newcomers in statehouse races. A similar sce-
nario played out in suburbs outside Cincinnati, Cleveland and Akron. That shift represents a crack in the Republican stronghold that is suburban America. As Democrats secure votes in cities’ urban cores and Republicans increasingly appeal to rural voters, the suburbs might be the last remaining political battleground.
Meet me in the middle Don Foster, of Westerville, is the kind of voter that Democrats are salivating over: a moderate suburbandweller who picked Trump in 2016 but has no plans to do so again.
“I feel guilty about it, having voted for Trump,” said Foster, meeting friends outside Espresso Air for lunch, as he does most days. “I won’t vote for him again. He’s too toxic. He’s not an example for kids.” But the only Democrat Foster says he likes is Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who barely made the debate. His current plan is to sit this election out: “I’m not voting for president.” Foster said he worries about gun violence, especially after the Aug. 4 mass shooting in Dayton, an hourand-a-half away from where the debate will be held.

As you shop for Medicare,
don’t forget about dental coverage. Westerville and Otterbein University are playing host to the upcoming democratic debates. JESSICA PHELPS/THE ADVOCATE
Mary Jane Pletcher, of Westerville, and her friend Kathy Campbell, of nearby Gahanna, said that access to aff ordable healthcare is a top concern. For Micah Crockett, of Blacklick, the economy and his spiritual beliefs inform his vote. No one mentioned the impeachment probe of the president. No one talked about the Green New Deal. No one demanded Medicare for All. These suburban voters are less partisan, more moderate and historically Republican, said Ohio Democratic Party Chairman David Pepper. Pepper said that means Democrats need to tread lightly: “The fact is they could shift again if you run in a way that could chase them off .” Perhaps that’s why Democrats are labeling every Republican from Trump to Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine as out of touch and too far right. Earlier this year, DeWine signed one of the nation’s most re-

strictive bans on abortion, prohibiting the procedure as early as six weeks gestation. Meanwhile, Ohio’s Republicans are painting all Democrats as socialists who will eliminate hamburgers and commercial air travel. “I would certainly argue that the Democrats are going much further left than we are going to the right,” said Rob Secaur, executive director of the Ohio Republican Party. In the suburbs, Trump’s economy is the pitch. Secaur said low unemployment and fewer business regulations appeal to voters there. That’s one reason why Crockett, who was washing windows, says he’ll vote for Trump again. His business has improved since the Republican president’s election, making him question the deci-

sion to hold the debate in Westerville. “Why would you come to a business town and hold a Democratic debate?” he asked.
Shifting tides The battle over the nation’s suburbs is nothing new. One Ohio Republican diagnosed it well nearly 70 years ago. “The Democratic Party will never win another national election until it solves the problem of the suburbs,” said then-Sen. Robert Taft following President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s victory. Democratic President Bill Clinton disproved Taft’s theory in the 1990s, but the premise still rings true. Democrats can no longer rely on populous cities alone to carry elections in many states. And Democrats have steadily lost support in rural areas over the past several decades. Democratic President Jimmy Carter received 24 percent of his support from rural residents in 1980. By 2016, only 9 percent of Hillary Clinton voters lived outside metropolitan America, wrote Boston College’s David A. Hopkins in a paper titled “The Suburbanization of the Democratic Party.” “For the fi rst time in American history, the Democratic Party now draws most of its popular support from the suburbs,” Hopkins wrote. That makes suburban voters, especially those surrounding America’s most populous cities, that much more important for Democrats. The migration of minorities and millennials to the suburbs has helped those areas more competitive. “They aren’t quite as Republican as they have been traditionally,” Secaur said of suburban voters. And that’s something the GOP took for granted in 2018. “There was a bit of complacency on our end,” Secaur said. Now, Republicans are working with candidates in suburban Columbus and Cincinnati, hoping to win local races in 2019 while collecting voter contacts for Trump’s re-election bid in 2020. “The suburbs are in play in a more important way than they ever have been,” said state Rep.
