COVID-safe pods ignite sales for local company Randy Tucker Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Rick Pescovitz, right, and his wife, Kelly Mahan, founders of Under The Weather in Linwood PROVIDED
COVID-19 has been a blessing and a curse for Rick Pescovitz and his wife Kelly Mahan. The owners of Linwood-based Under The Weather – which specializes in protective pop-up shelters for camping and sporting events – said sales plummeted more than 70% soon after the COVID-19 crisis was declared. “Our business was down substantially because just about every sporting event was cancelled because of COVID,” Pescovitz said. But just when business had hit rock bottom, Pescovitz said he had an epiphany while watching TV news coverage of healthcare workers administering COVID tests at diff erent sites across the country. “All of a sudden, we’re watching these COVID test sites on TV, and it’s pouring down rain,” he said. “We knew they could use our products.” Pescovitz’s company, which was founded in 2010 and has 10 full-time employees, launched a whole new line of foldable, popup protective pods for healthcare workers. The line includes the $59.99 IntubationPod now used widely in hospitals and
“We’ve been selling these all over the place to hospitals and healthcare workers trying to protect themselves. A lot of EMTs (emergency medical technicians) are using them now when they’re intubating, and ambulance services as well. Even teachers use them.” Rick Pescovitz

named one of Time magazine’s “Best Inventions of 2020.” The pods – which provide a fully enclosable barrier against aerosol spray from COVID patients – are designed to cover a patient’s head and torso during intubation. Intubation is used on COVID patients See COVID PODS, Page 2A
New healthy BBQ restaurant Pig Candy will open this winter near Coney Island Briana Rice Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
A new barbecue restaurant will open in Greater Cincinnati this winter with a focus on healthy as well as indulgence. Pig Candy in California, Ohio, near Coney Island will have a menu that features typical barbecue mainstays such as pulled pork and smoked turkeys, but will also include grilled meats including bone-in chicken. And those looking for options without the meat, Pig Candy has you covered with vegan goetta and other healthy side options. Rather than create traditional sides, Pig Candy will put a healthy spin on the
dishes: Instead of fi ve-cheese macaroni and cheese, they’ll have a crunchy vegetable pasta salad with a basil vinaigrette or a sweet potato caulifl ower mash. “We’re off ering a lot of healthy stuff but we’re off ering indulgences, as well,” said Paul Montgomery, who owns the restaurant with Christina Goering. The staple of the menu and its namesake is the Pig Candy Waffl e, a gluten free waffl e that is pressed with pulled pork, then topped with maple syrup and pecan butter. Luke Trinosky, an Indianapolis chef and Cincinnati native, is the chef behind Pig Candy’s new menu. “We want to do the kind of food you See PIG CANDY, Page 2A

when they can’t breathe on their own, and involves a doctor inserting a tube down the patient’s throat and into their windpipe to make it easier to get air into and out of their lungs. The tube is typically connected to a machine called a ventilator, which pumps in air with extra oxygen. Patients sometimes vomit or spit up saliva or other fl uids while being intubated. “We’ve been selling these all over the place to hospitals and healthcare workers trying to protect themselves,” Pescovitz said. “A lot of EMTs (emergency

medical technicians) are using them now when they’re intubating, and ambulance services as well. Even teachers use them.” The result? “We are pretty much caught up to where sales would have been during a normal year,” Pescovitz said. That includes sales of the full line of Under The Weather products being used to protect against COVID, including wearable enclosures for the upper body with clear plastic panels called the ShieldPod and WalkingPod. The products are available online on the companies website, and at select retailers, including Walmart and Dick’s Sporting Goods. They range in price from $59.99 for the intubation pod to $199 for the MyPod Mega four-person pop-up tent. Pescovitz said he’s not surprised by the popularity of his products, which he introduced to a national audience during an episode of the hit TV show “Shark Tank” in 2017. He said billionaire Shark Tank investor Mark Cuban off ered him $600,000 for a 10% stake in the company. “That should tell you something right there,” Pescovitz said.

can feel good eating,” said Montgomery, who has spent his career working in restaurants, and Goering has worked in marketing. The couple picked California because it feels like a country river town but it is still close to Downtown Cincinnati. The actual home of Pig Candy is the former California jail in the early 1900s. Montgomery said the basement, which is being converted into the restaurant’s kitchen, was formerly a stable for horses. Pig Candy will have a heated and covered patio, a grab-and-go section and indoor seating. During the weekends, Pig Candy plans to have BBQ Brunch with items such as pulled beef hash with poached eggs, smoked turkey waffl e sandwich topped with peach preserves and gooey cheddar, and smoked sockeye salmon. For drinks, Pig Candy will serve wine and mostly local beer.

Broccoli souffl é casserole ‘goes great alongside holiday ham or roast’ Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist
One of the most popular side dishes when my friend Bert and I had a catering business was Bert’s broccoli souffl é casserole.
We made quantity batches of that casserole too many times to count. It’s also the casserole we both make for the holidays, but scaled down for a home cook. It goes great alongside holiday ham or roast. And since we’re all still at home quite a bit, think about making more homemade edible gifts in-
stead of spending hours at the mall or online. As I’ve mentioned before, the kitchen is a welcoming and nurturing place to gather and make good food, and memories. The hot cocoa mix recipe is one I made several years ago in cooking school for our gifts class. It continues to be a fun and unusual gift from the kitchen.
Gift givers hot cocoa mix Note this recipe uses Dutch processed cocoa. If all you have is regular or special dark cocoa, go right ahead and use either. Ingredients 3 cups nonfat milk powder 2 cups confectioners’ sugar 11⁄ 2 to 13⁄ 4 cups good quality-white chocolate chips 11⁄ 2 cups Dutch processed cocoa ⁄ 4 teaspoon salt
1
Small batch broccoli soufflé/casserole
Instructions Stir everything until combined. Then, working in 2 batches, process mixture in food processor until chips are really ground fi ne, powdery like, about a minute or so.
You can make this several days ahead and reheat in microwave or in oven, covered, at 325 or so degrees until hot throughout.
Store in airtight container up to 2 months.
Now if you have a little more, or less, of the broccoli, no worries.
Nice to give with a pair of mugs. To serve: Heat 1 cup whole milk until steaming. Whisk in 1⁄ 3 cup mix until dissolved. Pour into mug and top with marshmallows or whipped cream.
Ingredients 1 pound broccoli florets or broccoli cuts, steamed just until crisp tender but not cooked all the way or use frozen broccoli, thawed to room temperature or again, steamed a bit to crisp tender
Did you know there are several kinds of cocoa powder? Regular cocoa
3
⁄ 4 to 1 cup real mayonnaise (1 cup makes it more creamy)
That’s what most of us grew up with. It’s a standard.
2 eggs, well beaten
Dutch processed
8 oz./2 cups sharp or extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
Dutch process powder starts with beans washed in an alkaline solution which neutralizes acidity. That process makes it darker in color than regular cocoa, more mellow in flavor and easily dissolved.
1 can mushroom soup undiluted ⁄ 4 cup minced onions
1
Preheat oven to 350.
Above, the fi nished broccoli soufflé casserole. Right the casserole before baking. PHOTOS BY
Spray 8x8 casserole.
RITA HEIKENFELD/FOR THE ENQUIRER
Mix mayonnaise, eggs, cheese, soup and onions. Pour over broccoli and mix well.
Tip:
Put in casserole and bake 35 minutes or so until bubbly and broccoli is cooked through.
If you want, just use 1 cup cheese mixed in and the other cup scattered on top prior to baking.
Instructions
Special dark cocoa That’s just a blend of regular and Dutch processed cocoa. Black cocoa It’s more heavily alkalized than Dutch processed. That gives it the dark, almost black color. Someone told me Oreos contain a type of black cocoa which gives the cookies that dark color. Not a substitute one for one with the others.

Portman: No evidence of mass fraud that would change election result Rob Portman Guest Columnist
I have supported the Trump campaign’s right to count every lawful vote, request state recounts and pursue lawsuits regarding election fraud or other irregularities. Based on polling, a substantial majority of the nearly 74 million Americans who supported President Trump question the legitimacy of the election. I believe going through a fair and transparent process to ensure the election was properly decided is important for our democracy and to help heal our polarized country. In supporting this post-election process, I have said that the states and the courts should act expeditiously and that any allegations of fraud must be based on evidence, which is what the law requires. This process has now been going on for about three weeks. The Trump campaign has taken steps to insist that only lawful votes were counted in key states, including fi ling numerous lawsuits. At this point, the vast majority of these lawsuits have been resolved and most of the remaining ones are expected to be resolved in the next couple of weeks. There were instances of fraud and irregularities in this election, as there have been in every election. It is good that those have been exposed and any fraud or other wrongdoing should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, but there is no evidence as of now of any widespread fraud or irregularities that would change the result in any state. States have now completed counting votes and most battleground states will have certifi ed their election results as of this week. Some state recounts have been completed and those remaining are expected to be completed within the next two weeks. Based on all the information currently available, neither the fi nal lawful vote counts nor the recounts have led to a diff erent outcome in any state. In other words, the initial deter-
Voter-counters Charlene Adler, front, and Mary Ruthenburg sort through and inspect early voting ballots at Old National Events Plaza in Evansville, Ind., Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 4, 2020. They started sorting through mail-in and early ballots at 7 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Election Day and began working on the remaining ballots at 7 a.m. Wednesday before fi nishing up around 2 p.m. SAM OWENS/ COURIER & PRESS
mination showing Joe Biden with enough electoral votes to win has not changed. I voted for President Trump, was a co-chair of his campaign in Ohio, and I believe his policies would be better for Ohio and the country. But I also believe that there is no more sacred constitutional process in our great democracy than the orderly transfer of power after a presidential election. It is now time to expeditiously resolve any outstanding questions and move forward. As noted above, the key recounts, state certifi cations and most pending lawsuits are expected to be completed in the next two weeks. This timing coincides with a crucial deadline of Dec. 8 in a law establishing a "safe harbor" for states to certify their electors. This means that if Congress receives those slates of Trump or Biden electors by that
date, those slates are fi nal. Going past that deadline would cause unprecedented uncertainty and raise serious constitutional questions. In Bush v. Gore in 2000, the Supreme Court said the safe harbor date "is designed to lead to a conclusive selection of electors…" and felt it necessary to fi nalize its decision by that date. On or before Dec. 8, any ongoing efforts to ensure an accurate count must be concluded and the 2020 election brought to a close. In the meantime, the General Services Administration (GSA) should go ahead and release the funds and provide the infrastructure for an offi cial transition, and the Biden team should receive the requested intelligence briefi ngs and briefi ngs on the coronavirus vaccine distribution plan. This is only prudent. Donald Trump is our
president until Jan. 20, 2021, but in the likely event that Joe Biden becomes our next president, it is in the national interest that the transition is seamless and that America is ready on Day One of a new administration for the challenges we face. The presidential election was contentious and hard fought. Roughly half of America was bound to be disappointed with the outcome. My hope is that all of us, as Americans, regardless of who we supported in the campaign, will be willing to accept the result because a thorough process was followed and the fi nal vote count was clear. Sen. Rob Portman is a Terrace Park Republican. Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this column’s original publication date – Nov. 23.

dent's 2020 Ohio campaign. "So I express myself as I think I should," Portman said. "But my job is not to take on Donald Trump every day. My job is to represent Ohioans and get things done." On Nov. 23, The Enquirer published an opinion piece from Portman in which he called for a seamless transition of power "in the likely event that Joe Biden becomes our next president." "In supporting this post-election process, I have said that the states and the courts should act expeditiously and that any allegations of fraud must be based on evidence, which is what the law requires," Portman wrote. He later continued: "there is no evidence as of now of any widespread fraud or irregularities that would change the result in any state." Trump appeared to support a primary challenge to Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine after the Republican governor called Biden the president-elect and called for the transition to begin.

Sen. Rob Portman has rarely criticized President Donald Trump in the past four years. At least in public. Behind closed doors is a diff erent matter, according to famed reporter Carl Bernstein, half of the reporting duo with Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward that broke the Watergate scandal. Bernstein on Twitter identifi ed Portman, a Republican from Terrace Park, as one of 21 Republican senators who have "repeatedly expressed extreme contempt for Trump & his fi tness to be POTUS" in private conversations with White House aides, colleagues, staff members and lobbyists. "With few exceptions, their craven public silence has helped enable Trump’s most grievous conduct–including undermining and discrediting the US the electoral system," Bernstein tweeted. On CNN on Nov. 20, Bernstein said several GOP senators and their staff members have told him over the past two to three years they "really disdain and even despise" Trump. Many, "if not most of these individuals, from what I've been told, were happy to see Donald Trump defeated in this election as long as the Senate could be controlled by Republicans." Portman's spokeswoman, Emmalee Cioffi , said Bernstein's statement is false. Portman has never spoken with Bernstein, she said. “This is absolutely false," Cioffi said in the statement. "The senator has never talked to Mr. Bernstein and we don’t know where he’s getting his false information. The senator supported President Trump’s re-election and believes his policies are better for Ohio and the entire country.” Portman in 2019 told The Enquirer said he has to work with Trump, and he was an honorary co-chair of the presi-

Fifty West launches ice skating rink Quinlan Bentley Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Fifty West Brewing Company launched a brand-new ice skating rink. The 40-by-80-foot ice skating rink is located at the Fifty West Burger Bar at 7605 Wooster Pike in Columbia Township. “We want Fifty West to be a place you can come and safely make memories throughout the holiday season,” Fifty West Founder Bobby Slattery said in a release. “When we thought about winter and this pandemic, we wanted to give people a sense of normalcy, keep our staff employed, and provide a community hub to bridge the gap between Fall and Spring, with plenty of outdoor space for customers.”
Now, that’s getting more out of your Medicare.
Tickets are on sale at $10 per person for an hour of skate time, the release states. All guests are required to wear masks and an hourly reservation system has been set up to limit the number of skaters on the ice at once. Cleaning will be done for about 30 minutes between sessions, according to the company's website. Children under the age of four can get in for free, the release states. The rink will be open on weekdays from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. and weekends from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Tickets are available for purchase inperson. Online reservations were expected to be up and running by Thanksgiving, according to the release. Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Nov. 16.
Oakley company: Former employee stole $2.2 million Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
A Miami Township woman accused of stealing at least $2.2 million from her former employer was indicted Nov. 20 on charges of theft and tampering with records. Elizabeth Fissel, who was indicted by a Hamilton County grand jury, was among six employees of Hadronics, Inc. who were let go in June when fi nances forced the Oakley company to make staff cuts, Hadronics said in a lawsuit it fi led in July against Fissel. “Within a few days of (Fissel’s) termination, (Hadronics) realized that its accounting records were inaccurate and commenced an investigation which ultimately revealed the theft of (Hadronics’) property by (Fissel),” Hadronics said in the suit. The lawsuit, which is pending in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court, originally said Fissel stole about $1.6 million from Hadronics by stealing cash and writing company checks to herself. But Hadronics said in court paper-
work fi led earlier in November that a joint investigation by the company, banks and the Cincinnati police determined that Fissel actually stole at least $2.2 million between April 2015 and June of this year. “Hadronics has reason to believe that (Fissel) stole other funds, but the full extent of her perfi dy may never be known,” Hadronics said in the paperwork. Hadronics, which makes and repairs parts for off set press manufacturers and printers, said Fissel worked for the company nearly six years. Fissel was the company’s controller, overseeing its fi nancial operations, at the time she lost her job. Hadronics said Fissel forged a company offi cer’s signature on company checks made out in her name. She then deposited the funds into her own bank account, Hadronics said. “Using her position as a trusted employee of Hadronics, (Fissel) hid her criminal conduct by altering the company’s books to increase legitimate expense amounts, while deleting the records relating to the checks she wrote to herself,” Hadronics said.

Lawsuit claims Loveland car dealership sold untitled vehicles Quinlan Bentley Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
A Greater Cincinnati car dealership is now the target of a lawsuit after it allegedly sold untitled vehicles to its customers, according to a press release from the Ohio Attorney General's Offi ce. The nine-page consumer protection lawsuit was fi led against Loveland-based Cincinnati Auto Wholesale and its owners Anthony Blevins and Charles Reynolds in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court on Nov. 17. The complaint alleges that the dealership sold untitled vehicles and then failed to provide its customers with a title, as required by state law. Blevins and Reynolds are also accused of failing to deliver on warranties and misrepresenting the terms of sale, the release states.
“Innocent people were taken for a ride of lies and deception,” Ohio Attorney General David Yost said in a release. "People who do business like that better buckle up, because the next stop is justice.” The lawsuit was fi led in response to 80 complaints regarding customers who never received a title from the dealership, the release states. So far, the state has paid out more than $226,000 through the Title Defect Recision fund
to assist those customers who didn't receive a title from the dealership, according to the release. The lawsuit seeks to recover that money and up to $100,000 in civil penalties, according to court fi lings. It also seeks to prevent both Blevins and Reynolds from obtaining a dealer or sales license until the fund is reimbursed and the defendants prove their compliance with relevant state laws, the release states.

Tom Brinkman Sr. carves one of 50 turkeys that Christ the King Church will donate to the Queen City Kitchen for holiday meals. PROVIDED

Cardinal Pacelli seventh- graders Brody Giles, Alex Pater and Luke Rouse help transport turkeys that were donated by Christ the King parishioners.
Mt. Lookout church donates food to Queen City Kitchen When Tom Brinkman Sr., 90, puts out his annual call for turkeys, the parishioners at Christ the King Church respond in the true spirit of Thanksgiving – generously. This year’s turkey drive yielded a record 50 turkeys. During the week of Nov. 16, a cadre of volunteers met in the Cardinal Pacelli cafeteria to disjoint, roast, carve and pack the turkey into serving pans for holiday meals at the Queen City Kitchen. Brinkman Sr., who has headed up this annual tradition at Christ the King for years, knows how much the food means to those in need. Tom and his daughter, Sue Brinkman Boehm, delivered the meat to the local soup kitchen on Nov. 20. Alisa Fisher, Christ the King Church
Young bald eagle with devastating injury recovers to fly free once again On July 13, 2020, a young bald eagle was admitted to RAPTOR Incorporated’s Rehabilitation Center in Milford, Ohio from a gravel quarry in Lynchburg, OH. The eagle was brought in by Randy Morgan, ODNR’s Indian Creek Wildlife Area Manager. He was assisted with the capture by Fallsville Wildlife Area Staff . On exam, the eagle was found to be suff ering from an open humeral fracture of the left wing near the shoulder, and an infestation of ectoparasites. The bird was treated with fl uids, antiparasitic medications, wound care and immobilization of the wing. The next morning the eagle was seen by Dr. Peter Hill at PetCare Animal Hospital. His exam confi rmed a left humeral spiral comminuted wing fracture with 2 large fl oating bone chips. Surgery was immediately performed, where an intramedullary (IM) pin and wires were placed to stabilize the fractures. Luckily, no joint invasion was involved. The wound was sutured closed and the bird was given antibiotics and pain medication. Oral antibiotics were continued for 10 days. On Aug. 4, the eagle was seen by Dr. Hill for a recheck. The fracture site was stable and the stitches were removed. No replacement wing wrap was needed, so the eagle was cleared to go outside to a small enclosure to limit mobility for 1 week. After that, the eagle could go in a larger enclosure for exercise and

physical therapy. On Sept. 1, the eagle was seen by Dr. Hill for a 2nd and fi nal recheck. The IM pin was removed and x-rays confi rmed the fracture had healed nicely. The eagle was given medications for pain and infl ammation and moved to the large L-shaped fl ight enclosure for conditioning. Available perching was kept low to prevent a possible re-injury. One week later, the eagle was seen using a stick to climb up to a 5-foot perch. On camera the injured wing looked droopy, so the eagle was re-examined. The fracture site was stable and the feathers that were dropped at the injury site were confi rmed to be coming in. On Sept. 16, the eagle was seen on camera taking short fl ights from the ground to a 5-foot perch, so the 13-foot perches were raised in the enclosure to encourage the eagle to exercise. A few weeks later the eagle
was seen on a 13-foot perch, and on October 14th it was fl ying the entire length of the large L-shaped enclosure perch to perch. On Nov. 1, the young bald eagle was released into its home territory by Alice McCaleb, with 13 witnesses in attendance, including several representatives from RAPTOR Incorporated, Kathy Garza-Behr, ODNR’s Communications Specialist, and Highland County Wildlife Offi cer James Carnes. The eagle fl ew strongly into the high winds, circled above the release site then headed out over the small nearby lakes toward a large stand of trees. Thanks to the wonderful dedication and collaboration between ODNR, RAPTOR Inc., and Dr. Hill, this magnifi cent bald eagle gets a second chance to live wild and free. Jackie Bray, RAPTOR Incorporated
Re/Max: Cincinnati market homes sell fastest in USA Alexander Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
If you own a house in Greater Cincinnati and you want to sell it quickly, you're in luck: Homes here are the fastest-selling in the nation, lasting less than three weeks on the market. Homes put up for sale spent a mere 18 days in October from its fi rst listing to a contract signing in Cincinnati – less than half the 38-day average nationwide and faster than No. 2 Boise, Idaho, at 20 days and

Nashville, Tennessee, at 21 days, according to the Re/ Max National Housing Report. Cincinnati also had the third-highest increase in sales price at 20.4%, behind Augusta, Maine, and Tulsa, Oklahoma. All but four of 52 metro areas saw double-digit gains in year-over-year sales prices. There were no decreases. Homesellers in the region – and the rest of the country – are benefi tting from a spike in demand at the same time fewer people are selling their homes in 2020, which pinches the supply. The results: h The number of homes sold are up 12.9% in Cincinnati and 20.8% nationwide from a year ago. h The median price for homes sold is up 20.4% to $218,000 locally, while it rose 15.4% to $295,000 nationally. h The number of homes for sales is down 34.4% to 3,076 (a drop of nearly 1,500) and the national inventory of homes for sale is down 32.5%. "Despite COVID, the recent presidential election and traditional fall slowdown, buyers are still very active in Cincinnati and the surrounding areas," said Donna Deaton, managing vice president of Re/Max Victory. The supply of homes for sale has dropped to an alltime low in the 13 years Re/Max has been compiling the report. Shutdowns early this year appear to have pushed peak buying season into the fall, Re/Max offi cials said. In addition to low-interest rates, Re/Max offi cials said the pandemic may have also spurred demand as buyers decided they wanted additional home attributes, such as more outdoor space or an extra room that can function as an offi ce. Continued working from home may have also given some buyers more fl exibility with less need to be close to their place of work. "The short turnaround times are telling, too. Buyers are ready to act as soon as they see the right home," Adam Contos, CEO of Re/Max Holdings, adding the sellers' market could spur more homeowners to put
Realtor Donna Deaton at open hous in West Chester RANDY TUCKER/ ENQUIRER MEDIA
their properties on the market. "Sellers who want to get through the process quickly, without having to move much on price, have a great opportunity to do so right now," Contos said. "That advantage should bring more listings into the market in the months ahead, but with inventory levels as low as they are, it will likely be a while before we see anything resembling a balanced market."

Christmas parade in Bethel set for Dec. 6, will feature Ole Fisherman in a toy train as the grand marshal
Howdy folks, Well, we had another funeral on Monday. This feller loved to fi sh and they showed some pictures of big bass he caught. He would fi sh the Ohio River and East Fork. I imagine he also fi shed at Grant Lake. They are getting some big bass out of Grant like. This was William C Moorman. The Shepherd’s Place is sponsoring the Christmas parade in Bethel which will be Dec. 6 at 6 p.m. This year it will be a reverse parade. The cars will pass by me sitting in a toy train. I was nominated as grand marshal. There will be candy canes and hot chocolate passed out. This will take place at Bethel Woods. I talked to Mike at the Boars Head Bait Shop in Afton and he will be celebrating his 25th year in that business. He has run an excellent business. The things you can get there are sandwiches made, drinks, fi shing tackle, fi shing bait as well as plenty of information on how the fi shing is in East Fork and the Ohio River. When you call, you will probably have Wendy answer the phone. Mike said the fi shing is good in East Fork with lots of crappie and sauger being caught. Some of the crappie are 10, 12 and 14 inches long and the fi shermen that go down to the Ohio River are catching lots of sauger. Some of the sauger have been 16 to 17 inches long. We are so blessed to have the good fi shing waters we have. I had a surprise today. Kathy Angel from Senior Services stopped and the Lytles were here. She presented me with a plaque for 25 years of volunteer service. I didn’t know it had been that long. Ruth Ann always went with me wherever I went. I sure miss her, but someday, I will be with her in heaven. The Kitchen of Hope had several turkeys to pass out to the folks today. That

Ole Fisherman
is good. Along with the other food, they do so much good. The Grange is taking a lot of food to the Laurel Methodist church to pass out to folks for Thanksgiving. It is important to share with the folks. The Lions Club here in Bethel is furnishing a Thanksgiving meal for a family. I always did this in past years, but due to my health, I cannot do it this year. I talked to Cedar Lake and a feller caught that big catfi sh. He was using nightcrawlers for bait. They have caught several trout – one of them weighed over 7 pounds. Cedar Lake stocks their lake every week, so there are plenty of fi sh to catch. They are open Friday, Saturday and Sunday. They also have fi shing tackle for Christmas presents and they have fi shing permits for fi shing next year. I went over there a few years ago and they run a good fi shing business. I needed to go down to the Feedmill and get some more bird feed. I get one bag each week. The birds sure eat a lot of it. I remember in one of my writings that I said, if a person is housebound to put a birdfeeder outside where they can see it and give them a bird book so they can identify the birds, and a piece of paper and pencil to write them down to show the family what is coming to the feeder. Now that is me sitting and watching the birdfeeder. I would like to thank the Cincinnati Enquirer for the story on the “Ole Fisherman” and the folks that worked on it. They were very professional. My daughter picked me up for church this morning. We are having church in the parking lot at the church since the virus has been worse again. Our new associate pastor, Tim Gauci, preached. He did a fi ne job. He, his wife and three children moved here last month from California. We sure welcome having them as part of our church family. Start your week by praying and praising the good Lord. God bless all ... More later ...

SCHOOL NEWS Four critical questions guide New Richmond Schools Most successful workplaces have a mission or set of guiding principles that create a company culture where everyone is focused on the end-results. For the professional learning community of New Richmond Exempted Village School District, the guiding principles are the four critical questions popularized by author/educator Rick DuFour. Introduced to NREVSD by Superintendent Tracey Miller in 2019, the four critical questions are bringing a simple but important clarity to the district’s instructional mission by providing students with a “comprehensive and consistent New Richmond educational experience.” The four critical questions of a professional learning community are: What do we want children to know and be able to do? How will we know when they have mastered it? What will we do when they haven’t learned the learning objectives? What will we do when they already know the learning objectives? To keep them fresh in everyone’s mind, they are now prominently posted in key locations throughout our schools. The questions are also the inspiration behind the district’s curriculum committee’s work in curriculum writing. Last school year, the committee developed courses of study in each core subject area for grades Pre-K through 12. The Board of Education approved the Courses of Study during its July 2019 meeting. The Board approved graded courses of study can be found at this link: https://www.nrschools.org/CoursesofStudy.aspx This school year, the group is once again hard at work and will now be writing curriculum for elective courses in the core disciplines, and Health at the middle school and high school. Their work is the lynchpin in helping to identify the fi rst of four critical questions “What do we want children to know and be able to do,” Mr. Miller said. “By employing the four critical questions, we help to ensure that each district educator is engaged in the right work with a collective focus on improved student learning and high achievement.” Sheila Vilvens, New Richmond Exempted Village School District

Students with autism benefit from martial arts classes at Stepping Stones Every Thursday, calls of “Kiai” are heard on the grounds of Stepping Stones’ Given Campus in Indian Hill. The Japanese term echoing through the air is a joyful sound, as students of the nonprofi t agency’s Step-Up Autism Alternative Education program have resumed in-person martial arts classes this fall. With COVID-19 modifi cations in place, Master Strickland of Cincinnati Martial Arts Club in Cheviot leads middle and high school students in a series of exercises designed to develop agility, balance and coordination. “Never say I can’t – always say I’ll try,” Strickland enthusiastically calls out, encouraging students to build upon their martial arts skills in a new routine each week. Like so many, Stepping Stones’ program structure changed in the wake of the pandemic this spring with students and teachers adjusting to an at-home learning model. The continuation of in-person classes and
the pride on students’ faces as they master their martial arts technique are positive measures of progress. “Master Strickland’s visits give students the opportunity to gain confi dence while socializing with their peers,” shares Educational Services Director Megan Wingerberg. “They are also a wonderful way of introducing a new skill in a positive and inclusive environment.” Step-Up was the region’s fi rst alternative education program and serves students from 11 school districts. Martial arts instruction is fi nancially assisted bythe John Hauck Foundation, Fifth Third Bank, John W. Hauck and Narley L. Haley, Co-Trustees. Founded in 1963, Stepping Stones is a nonprofi t, United Way partner agency that off ers a variety of educational and recreation programs for individuals with disabilities.
