She was running a little late. Gabriella Christine Rodriguez usually left for school around 6:30 a.m., said her mom, Shawna Rodriguez. But that Monday in September, it might have been closer to 6:40. She was with her older brother and a friend. They walked down Hansford Place to Harrison Avenue, where their bus stop was on the other side of the four-lane street. Usually, the trio would walk a little farther up Harrison, use a crosswalk, then double back to their bus. That morning – so they wouldn’t miss their ride – they decided to cross where they were. The streetlight was out, Shawna said. It was dark, and Gabby was wearing black pants and a black shirt, her required school uniform. Her brother and friend made it safely across the street, but Gabby must have been a beat behind. “They think she hesitated to pull up her pants or fix her shoe or something,” Shawna said. It was 6:42 a.m. when the first vehicle, a silver SUV going west on Harrison, knocked Gabby out of her white Nike shoes. She was always particular about her shoes, Shawna said, so her sneakers were pristine. Shoeless, the 15-year-old was lying on her stomach in middle of the road. Her friend reached her first, and Gabby

A man admitted Wednesday, Jan. 24 that he vandalized an interracial couple’s home after being evicted, spraypainting swastikas and phrases like “die n----r.” Samuel Whitt appeared in federal court in Cincinnati to formally enter his plea to a hate crime charge. He had signed a plea agreement last month. Whitt, 42, had a full grey beard and his head Samuel was shaved. He has Whitt been held at the Butler County Jail since being arrested in May 2017 and was wearing a faded orange and white jail uniform. Whitt and his girlfriend were evicted from the East Price Hill home on Nov. 22, 2016 for not paying rent, according to court documents. The next day, the couple, Joe and Pat Jude, left town to visit their daughter. While they were gone, prosecutors say Whitt broke into the house and caused extensive damage. Whitt, who told authorities that he was involved in a white gang in his youth, was convicted in 2013 of spraypainting a swastika and “A.B.” (for Aryan Brotherhood) on buildings in East Price Hill. Whitt said he served time in prison in the 1990s. The swastikas spray-painted in the Judes’ home were similar to the one from the 2013 case, documents say. They were backwards.

said three words: “Call my mom.” “That’s when the other car came, the other direction,” Shawna said. “Never slowed down. Never braked. They say they hit her so hard, and you can actually see it in the road, there’s an indent that is forever in the road.” Gabby was one of 13 Cincinnati Public Schools students hit by a vehicle in 2018, according to police reports and a tally from the school district. Gabby, a sophomore at Western Hills University High School, was the only one killed. The students range in age from 6 to 18.

At least nine were in crosswalks when they were hit. And 11, including Gabby, were on Cincinnati’s West Side, within a roughly 1.25-square-mile zone. Pedestrian deaths are skyrocketing nationwide, going from 4,302 in 2010 to 5,987 in 2016. In Ohio in 2017, there were 144 pedestrian fatalities, the highest death toll in a decade. This is clearly not a problem isolated to Cincinnati or its schools. But why have so many students See PEDESTRIANS, Page 1A

Western Hill University High School in West Price Hill was evacuated Friday, Jan. 18, after a student sprayed mace in the school, oďŹƒcials said. During an altercation around 8:30 a.m., a student sprayed mace at two other students, Cincinnati Public Schools spokeswoman Lauren Worley said. The entire high school was evacuated as a precaution. The two students who were sprayed were treated at the scene by the Cincinnati Fire Department. Students were allowed to return to classes around 9 a.m. Police and school administrators are investigating the incident.

Pedestrian crashes skyrocketing: Here's what we learned Hannah K. Sparling Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
A toddler in a stroller, killed on the Hopple Street sidewalk. A high school freshman, killed crossing Harrison Avenue on her way to school. A man in a wheelchair, hit by three drivers in a 10-month period. If it seems like this is happening more often in Cincinnati – drivers running into people – that’s because it is. An Enquirer report shows pedestrian-involved crashes are skyrocketing in the city. There were 428 this past year – an average of more than eight every week. You can read the full report online, but here are a few key takeaways: 46 percent: That's the increase in pedestrian-involved crashes in Cincinnati in 2018 compared to five years prior. Experts blame distracted driving, texting while walking and roads that were designed with cars rather than people in mind. 5,987: That's the number of pedestrian deaths in the U.S. in 2016. To put that in context, it's almost twice the number of deaths tied directly to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The Detroit Free Press, in a series called "Death on foot," points to the rise

of SUVs, which, with their higher front ends, are “at least twice as likely as cars to kill the walkers, joggers and children they hit." 144: That's the number of pedestrian
fatalities in Ohio in 2017. It's the highest pedestrian death toll in a decade. In Cincinnati, police reported seven pedestrian deaths each in 2016, 2017 and 2018.

touching every area of Cincinnati: students, the school board, city hall, teachers, parents – every single person who drives or walks or takes the bus. But it's complicated, practically and politically. There is bickering over who's at fault, what should be done and who should pay for it. There are ideas but no single, affordable fix. Prior to 2018, CPS did not track how often students were hit by cars, so we don’t know if this is happening more or
less than before. But we do know that pedestrian crashes overall in the city have risen sharply, jumping 46 percent from 2013 to 2018. Of the 13 CPS students hit by cars in 2018, at least three of the crashes involved hit-and-run drivers, leading to calls for heavier police enforcement and more in-depth investigations. And eight of the students were hit before sunrise – leading some to question whether CPS needs to push back
its start times. In May, then- 14-year-old Lauren Wainscott was in a crosswalk outside Western Hills. She was headed to her bus after school when a driver ran into her, launching her into the air. Lauren was scraped up but not seriously physically injured, said her mom, Jenny Mider, but she now has anxiety about being on sidewalks. See PEDESTRIANS, Page 4A

On Dec. 14, in a crosswalk just up the street from Lauren’s crash,12-year-old Kenya Joy Austin was hit shortly before 7:30 a.m. Kenya spent several days in the hospital with a fractured femur and a cracked growth plate. She doesn’t remember most of what happened, said her mom, Asia Allen, but now Kenya has nightmares and “she’s afraid to walk outside alone.” Two years ago, Kenya’s older brother was hit by a car in the same area, Allen said. He had a foot fracture and a concussion, and he still gets migraines. The driver who hit Kenya took off. There’s no information in the police report about the car, but Allen says it was a red Pontiac Grand Prix. Kenya remembers the windows being tinted. “The fact that they drove off, that’s what bothers her the most,” Allen said. On Dec. 3, a group of four siblings was walking toward Covedale School. They came to the intersection of Cleves Warsaw Pike and Covedale Avenue and – in the crosswalk, with the walk signal – started to cross. A woman was making a left turn onto Cleves Warsaw. She didn’t yield and ran into three of the kids, ages 10, 9 and 6. The students escaped with bruises and scrapes, despite all three requiring a trip to the hospital, said their mom, Lamika Mitchell. But, there have been chiropractor appointments and legal paperwork. Mitchell has had to miss work. And now, every weekday, there’s the question of how the kids will get to class. “I’m just not comfortable with them walking to school anymore,” Mitchell said. “(Drivers) need to start looking out for these children. My kids’ lives could have been taken before my eyes just because they were walking to school.” Two weeks after that crash, an 11-

year-old girl was hit in the same crosswalk, in the same manner, by a driver turning left.
‘An hour. It could save a life.’ The speed limit on Harrison Avenue is 35 miles per hour, but drivers regularly go 50 or faster, said Shawna, Gabby's mom. The family home is on Hansford Place, a dead-end off of Harrison. The never-ending construction on Queen City Avenue is pushing more traffic to Harrison, Shawna said, so “it’s literally a racetrack out there.” There are crosswalks, but drivers don’t always stop. Plus, she said, everyone knows there are no cops and no cameras. The night after Gabby died, Shawna and her husband went walking around, looking for any cameras that might have captured the driver who fled the scene. At one crosswalk, it took them more than 20 minutes to get across the street, Shawna said, because drivers
West Side
were just ignoring them. “Around here, people don’t care, because they know we don’t have street cameras,” she said. “You see, Downtown, a cop almost every block. Somehow, we’ve got to stay consistent in patrolling.” Shawna has a list of what she wants, improvements that might mean her daughter didn’t die in vain. She wants more and better crosswalks, the kind with bright, flashing lights that highlight pedestrians. More and better street lights. More cameras. More traffic enforcement from police. And 24-hour parking on Harrison Avenue, which would slow traffic and essentially trim the street from four lanes to two. Mayor John Cranley recently announced 24-hour parking on a stretch of Harrison, but it’s in Westwood, about 2 miles northwest of where Gabby was hit. The mayor said he would be open to extending that zone, though, if it is what the community wants.
Shawna also has a wish list for CPS. She wants different bus routes so students don’t have to cross four-lane streets twice a day. She wants lighter uniforms, so they don’t have to wear all black. And, she wants later start times. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends middle- and high schools start at 8:30 a.m. or later, and there’s plenty of scientific research that shows teenagers need more sleep than they can get with schools that start earlier. Still, seven CPS high schools, including Gabby’s, start between 7:30 and 8 a.m. CPS has been considering later start times for years but so far hasn’t made the jump. The district is expected to make a recommendation to the board later this spring about moving start times back. “An hour,” Shawna said. “It could save a life.”
Whose job is this? This is, in some ways, a political battle. CPS spends about $750,000 a year on crossing guards, primarily stationed near elementary schools, but it wants the city to foot that bill. Mayor Cranley has pointed the finger at the school district, saying it needs to either hire more crossing guards or expand its busing program. Currently, high school students who live 1.25 miles or more from their school get a Cincinnati Metro pass. Kindergarten- through eighth-grade students who live a mile or more from their school can ride a traditional yellow school bus. “A first grader shouldn’t have to walk a mile to school,” Cranley said. “They had a big school levy pass, so they have to decide what they’re going to fund. They have to do one or the other. Either way, it’s their job to get kids to and from school.” But CPS points right back at City See PEDESTRIANS, Page 6A

YOUR HEALTH with Dr. Owens
Our sight should be front of mind Our eyes are our window to the world.Yet about 14 million Americans ages 12 and older have visual impairment—but 80% of those problems could be corrected through the use of glasses or surgery.
O’dell M. Owens, MD, MPH President & CEO
Vision loss plays a role in many other health conditions, including type 2 diabetes, depression, stroke, hearing loss and chronic kidney disease. It is also tied to increased risk of falls and injuries and even early death. Adults and children alike need regular eye exams.The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends: • For children, early eye health care is often coordinated by a pediatrician, with referrals to other providers as needed. Eye screenings should be done at birth, and then during well-child exams at 6 months, 1 or 2 years of age, 3 or 4 years of age and annually after age 5. • Adults who already have glasses, contacts or other diagnosed eye conditions typically need an annual exam, but should follow the recommendations of their eye care provider. • For adults without glasses, contacts or other eye conditions, it’s recommended to have a baseline screening at age 40, but people with diabetes, high blood pressure or family history of eye disease may need earlier screening. Adults ages 65 and older should have their eyes checked annually. At Interact for Health, we recognize that vision care is critical for children served by our school-based health centers. We continue to work with partners to ensure that local kids have access to vision care, either directly at their school or through referrals. Being able to see clearly can affect a person’s ability to be productive at school or work. A guide to local vision care resources is available through the Vision Coalition of Greater Cincinnati at www.vcgc.org or by contacting the Cincinnati Eye Institute Foundation at 1-866-466-2343. Dr. O’dell Moreno Owens is the president and chief executive officer of Interact for Health and InterAct for Change. Dr. Owens is a reproductive endocrinologist. He earned an MD, an OB/GYN residency and a master’s of public health degree from Yale University School of Medicine. He also obtained a fellowship in reproductive endocrinology at Harvard Medical School.

Hall. The district’s busing policy, while it does not cover every student, “far exceeds the state standards,” said CPS spokeswoman Frances Russ, in a written response to questions from The Enquirer. CPS will spend more than $43 million on transportation this year , a cost that has only gone up in recent years. And, it would be one thing if kids were getting hit on school property. But, they’re not. “The public school system’s job is to keep our students safe on school grounds as we prepare them for a life beyond school,” Russ said. “The safety and security of our streets and neighborhoods is the responsibility of the city.” Despite those differences, CPS and the city have taken steps lately to increase student safety. CPS added crossing guards near the shared Dater/ Western Hills campus after it was revealed several students were hit there, and on Friday, Cranley announced nearly $1 million in pedestrian safety improvements, much of it centered around Western Hills school and Westwood. Plus, there is a new joint task force aimed at addressing pedestrian safety in the area. Since 2013, according to an Enquirer analysis, 123 pedestrians have been hit by vehicles within a mile of the Dater/West campus. Despite those efforts, though, this is more complicated than it might seem. Changing bus routes or start times would be expensive for CPS. The logistics are daunting, and it could end up solving old problems but creating new ones. Students might not be on the streets before sunrise, for example, but would they be there after sunset, if their afterschool practices and games were pushed back? And sure, police could spend more time on traffic enforcement, and perhaps pedestrian crashes would decrease as a result. But that means police would have to spend less time on something else. And maybe shootings – which have trended down in recent years – would tick back up. Here’s what it comes down to for Shawna: The attention and care of drivers. It’s heroin, speeding and cellphones, she said. In 2016, 3,450 people in the U.S. died as a result of distracted driving, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. “Some people want to say, ‘Well, we need to teach our kids,’” Shawna said. “Yeah, we do need to teach our kids. But we can teach our kids a million things – if the drivers aren’t driving safe, if they’re not focusing, if they’re not doing what’s right on the street, our kids have no chance.”
‘I just don’t want people to forget...’ Gabby is buried in Spring Grove Cemetery. Her parents chose a plot underneath a big tree, because they know she would have liked that. There’s no stone yet, but the grave is blanketed by flowers, balloons and photos.
After Shawna Rodriguez’s daughter was killed on the way to school, the South Fairmount mom has been pushing for more and better crosswalks, more and better street lights, more cameras, more traffic enforcement from police. SAM GREENE/THE ENQUIRER
Shawna visits nearly every day. Sometimes, she yells at Gabby for not going to a crosswalk that morning, for not triple checking for cars before she stepped into the street. But most days, she just sits and talks. She tells Gabby how much she loves and misses her. She talks about what Gabby’s friends and classmates are doing in her memory. And she asks for help. Doctors have told Shawna and her husband that Gabby didn’t suffer, but Shawna is haunted by Gabby’s last few moments on Earth. “Those last three words,” she said. “’Call my mom.’ … I wasn’t there to protect her.” The Rodriguezes have three older boys, but Gabby was their baby and their only girl. She was strong-willed, hard-headed, kind, confident and loud. She taught herself to play guitar. Softball was her passion. Shawna treasures everything her daughter was, but she mourns the woman Gabby will never get the chance to become. She won’t graduate from high school, she won’t get married, she’ll never have children of her own. “It’s a never-ending cycle of pain,” Shawna said. “You cry on your way to work, and you cry on your way home.” The Rodriguez living room has turned into a shrine for Gabby, with photos and softball trophies lining the walls and shelves. Shawna wears a sweatshirt with her daughter’s face on it. The family’s truck has a new license plate: GABBY13. This is life now, Shawna said. Every day at the cemetery, she repeats the same plea: Show me you’re OK. Then, she pulls herself up and drives home. She goes to City Hall and begs for answers and action. She sits down with reporters and, over and over, tells the story of how her daughter died. She would rather just lie in bed and cry, she said. If she had her way, she might never get out of bed again. But Gabby won’t let her give up. “We’ve got to make changes,” Shawna said. “We can’t just try to put a BandAid on it. I just don’t want people to forget: A 15-year-old died.”

Before joining a gym, read the contract first Sandra Guile Guest Columnist Community Press USA TODAY NETWORK
A new year brings New Year’s resolutions, and if 2019 follows the trend of years past, the number one goal for many people in the U.S. will be to lose weight. After the indulgence of the holiday season, advertisements for gym memberships can feel especially difficult to ignore. However, if you’re thinking of signing up, consider all of your options before committing to an expensive contract. There are a few ways to determine whether or not a gym is the best way to achieve your New Year’s goals. Go take a look
Visit the facility at the time you normally plan to workout. This will give you an idea of how crowded the gym will be and how long you’ll have to wait to use the equipment. Ask about hours of operation and the total number of people enrolled. Make note of how current the equipment is, how clean the facilities are, and how often they receive service. Ask the important questions While walking through the facility, ask about what personal training services are available and where those classes are held. Look for health clubs that hire trainers certified to meet national standards, as not all of them do. Heed the advice provided by official organizations like the American Council on Exercise, the American College of
Sports Medicine, the National Strength and Conditioning Association, and the National Academy of Sports Medicine. Ask if the health club requires additional in-house training so the instructors stay up to date on their certifications. See if there are monthly options A low-priced year-long contract may sound tempting, but if you’re still not sure about fully committing to a longterm contract, ask if a month-to-month plan is available. Remember, the weather will eventually get warm enough for outdoor exercise, but the membership fee will still be due each month. Read the contract Don’t feel obligated to immediately sign a contract. Take the contract home and read it carefully before signing to
determine whether or not it’s right for you. It should include all services provided, including any fitness classes offered, as well as any other benefits discussed in your visit. Make sure you understand the cost, payment schedule, enrollment fee, and length of the membership. Ask about cancellation fees and their limitations before signing up. Joining a gym is a great way to get healthier and meet new people, and the new year is a great time to start. Just make sure you are comfortable making, and keeping, the commitment.

Start something with homemade friendship bread Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld
The past couple weeks I’ve had a hankering for Amish friendship bread. Judging from requests coming in, so have you. Maybe it’s the short, frigid days of
winter. A slab of warm, fragrant friendship bread with a cup of hot lemon tea…you get the idea. A fun project that’s meant to share. Read the recipe and see what I mean. First make a fermented “sour dough” starter. Tips: Refrigerating or freezing starter Refrigerate for a couple of days or
freeze up to several months. Bring to room temperature before you do anything with it. Can you use a bowl? Yes, glass, ceramic or stainless steel. Stir with a wooden or stainless spoon. Sealed bags look like balloons. That’s fermentation. Let some air out, then reseal.
Friendship bread #l 1 cup starter ⁄3 cup oil
2
3 eggs 1 cup sugar 2 teaspoons cinnamon 11⁄2 teaspoons baking powder ⁄2 teaspoon salt
1
Ten-day friendship bread starter
⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
1
Ingredients
2 cups all purpose flour
⁄4 cup warm water 110-115 degrees
Handful dried fruit, nuts, chocolate chips, etc. if you want
1
1 package active dry yeast (2 ⁄4 teaspoons) 1
To sprinkle in pans and/or on top of batter:
Pinch of sugar to feed yeast
⁄3cup sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
1
1 cup all purpose flour 1 cup sugar
Instructions
1 cup milk
Preheat oven to 325.
Instructions
Beat starter, oil and eggs together. Whisk dry ingredients together and then mix with starter mixture.
Pour the warm water into a bowl and sprinkle yeast over. Stir in pinch of sugar. Let stand until it dissolves and looks foamy, about 5 minutes or so.
Spray 2 loaf pans, 9x5. If using cinnamon sugar mixture, coat bottom and sides, dumping out excess to sprinkle on top. (You can also make half of this amount and just sprinkle it on top).
In a separate bowl, whisk flour and sugar together. Stir in the milk and then the yeast mixture. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let stand until bubbly.
The concept behind friendship bread is to make some and share the starter with friends. RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE COMMUNITY PRESS
Divide batter into pans. Sprinkle rest of cinnamon mixture on top if using.
Then pour it into a gallon zippered plastic bag and seal. Do not refrigerate during fermentation. This counts as Day 1.
Day 6: Add 1 cup of flour, sugar and milk. Mash bag to mix well.
Divide 1 cup portions of starter, placing each in separate sealed plastic bags.
Day 7: Mash bag.
Day 2: Mash bag.
Day 8: Mash bag.
Day 3: Mash bag.
Day 9: Mash bag.
Day 4: Mash bag.
Day 10: Pour into bowl. Add 1⁄2 cup each flour, sugar and milk. Mix well.
Keep 2 cups for yourself if you want to continue keeping a starter or 1 if you’re only making bread. (The starter then goes back to Day 1). Give away rest with instructions.
Bake 50-60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes then remove from pans.
Day 5: Mash bag.
Now you’re ready to make friendship bread!
Friendship bread #2, with pudding This is sweeter. Mix in 2 small boxes of instant pudding to the batter.

How can we stop being such jerky customers? Take Five Melanie Laughman Community Press USA TODAY NETWORK
In a recent trip to a grocery store, I grabbed my usual few items in a hand basket and took my wares to the cashier's counter. I set the basket on the table (not a conveyor belt, just a small table) and started to reach for my wallet. I looked up and the cashier was just staring at the basket, not moving. I asked her if everything was OK, and she replied, "I never remove items from baskets." I didn't realize that was a thing. I simply thought the effort to grab something from inside a basket was the same as it was on a table. I'm happy to learn the right way to be, so it wasn't a big deal to do as she wanted. Got to thinking: Have I been a jerk all this time and not known? Facebook opinions were 50-50 on whether that's truly an etiquette thing or whether she was just cranky. What else have I been flubbing up? I asked friends to explain what circumstances they wished customers understood about jobs they had. In other words, when are customers just not right? The general truth seems to be that people who've never worked in customer service have unrealistic expectations. Inconsiderate cell phone users during checkout, people who get mad at employees if the store is out of the product they seek,
people who make a line of people behind them wait while they get something they forgot and people who treat pharmacists like they only count pills for a living were just a few quick hits my friends offered to support that truth. School teacher Sylvia Hammons asked me to remind people that school is not a daycare. Dropping kids off early or coming to pick them up late has a ripple effect people generally forget. "While families are 'our customers,' they need to understand that teachers have a schedule to follow, too, and dropping kids off early and picking them up late prevents teachers from getting other responsibilities done. I’d say probably the same for sports coaches," she said. Planning for these circumstances is important. Part of planning, however, isn't giving your sick kid Tylenol that wears off in two hours so everyone ultimately has to deal with it (nurses, parents, teachers, classmates) anyway. Former Community Press writer Liz Carey gave another example: Her husband used to work at CompUSA where a woman screamed at him for 15 minutes because his company didn't sell film for her digital camera. I'll give you a second to reread that. For her contribution, Leslie Kohlman talked about the bane of restaurant managers: The habitual complainers who come in to get free meals. I waited tables at Ground Round when the company had penny-per-pound day for
SUBMIT YOUR LETTERS, COLUMNS
kids meals. You'd be surprised how hard people will work to avoid paying for meals, even 65-cent dinners. Tara Stroud had another restaurant issue. Some people don't understand how reservations/call-ahead/seating issues work. "So many factors come into play when seating guests, i.e. party size, time of arrival, closed sections, smoking/nonsmoking (used to), etc. I can’t tell you how many times I had to field a customer complaint because of how they thought it should go. Everyone knows more than the employees when they want to be seated." Now, it's understandable what most consumers deal with: Tight home budgets, too many stressors and too much to do with no time to do it. However, no one gets paid enough to be a customer's human fidget spinner. It's sad people talk to customer service workers in manners they'd never tolerate someone talking to their own loved ones. For the record, when I have a handheld basket at the grocery store, I now ask cashiers if they want me to remove items from those baskets. So far, no one cared one way or the other, but it was nice to ask. The Golden Rule isn't so hard to remember. Melanie Laughman is the digital preps planning editor for high school sports.

Sports McQuaide first Elder grad to play in the Super Bowl Elder High School graduate Jake McQuaide, now long snapper for the Los Angeles Rams, was selected to his first career Pro Bowl in 2017 and will play in this year’s Super Bowl. JEFF CURRY,
James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
There will be plenty of Elder Panther Pride in Atlanta for Super Bowl LIII. Jake McQuaide, 31, an Elder High School graduate, will be the starting long snapper for the Los Angeles Rams as they take on the New England Patriots Feb. 3. Barring injury, he will be the first Elder graduate to play a snap in the Super Bowl according to athletic director Kevin Espelage, who said two other Panthers have been on teams that played in the Super Bowl. Dan Stricker, a wide receiver and 1998 graduate, was on the Patriots roster for the first game of the 2003 season, which ended with New England beating the Carolina Panthers. He did not play in a Pats uniform. Stricker had an outstanding career at Vanderbilt, with 182 catches, 2,880 yards and 21 touchdowns for the Commodores. His junior year, he had 65 catches for 1,079 yards and eight scores. Ricky Brown, a linebacker standout, played seven years in the NFL after being an undrafted free agent. He spent his first six with Oakland, where he started 13 games and had 102 career tackles. After, he was on Baltimore’s practice squad for the 2012 season, which ended with the Ravens defeating San Francisco in Super Bowl XLVIII. Brown played college football at Boston College and was a GCL track champion in sprints at Elder. McQuaide figures to play a big role for the Rams as one of the most veteran long snappers in the league. He may have to make a snap on a crucial field goal or extra point. He did so twice in the NFC championship game, helping Greg Zuerlein kick a 57-yard field goal in overtime to defeat New Orleans after he made a 48-yarder late in regulation. McQuaide has made a living being reliable on the job. He joined the Rams as an undrafted free agent in 2011, and

He has played every game of his eight seasons and has made nine tackles on special teams. Being undrafted is nothing new for him. McQuaide started as a walk-on at Ohio State and eventually became the starting long-snapper for three years. He won multiple academic awards at OSU. At Elder, he was the long snapper for two seasons with no missed snaps. He married in 2012 and has two children. Los Angeles has cornered the market on long snappers from Elder. Mike Windt has been starting for the Chargers since 2010. The Chargers moved to LA from San Diego this season and played the Rams, with the Rams winning. Windt played for Elder’s 2002 and 2003 state champions and went on to a productive career with the UC Bearcats. Elder has had two other long-term starters in recent years: Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph and Buffalo offensive lineman Eric Wood. Wood retired after last season.

‘Almost Heaven - Songs of John Denver’ opens Feb. 14 Conceived by Harold Thau with orchestrations, vocal arrangements, and music supervision by Jeff Waxman, “Almost Heaven” weaves together the songs of John Denver to create a uniquely theatrical narrative that reflects upon the country during the years in which he wrote them. Twenty-nine of Denver's songs – including “Rocky Mountain High,” “Sunshine on My Shoulders,” “Annie’s Song,” “Leaving on a Jet Plane,” “Calypso” and more – are rediscovered and reinvented, performed against a backdrop of stunning visual images of America in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, a time of political upheaval, yet great beauty and hope. Tim Perrino, director; Greg Dastillung music director; Richard Zenk, production stage manager. The cast includes: Brian Anderson, Kelcey Rose Cummings, Elaine Diehl, Annie Schneider, Jamie Steele, Liam Sweeney, Kyle Taylor.
