Orphans live with grandmother after suspected murder- suicide Max Londberg Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The city doesn’t track deals by cost, but a search of deals in online public records using the term $1 turned up the 11 deals. . Six of the dollar deals were approved

Theresa Smith was midway through a puzzle – she loves puzzles – when she was forced to pause. Three of her grandchildren, suddenly orphaned, needed a new home. So she took them in. She hasn’t yet had the time or funds to child-proof her house in East Price Hill. She needs more clothing for Xizallian, 10, Kaydence, 6, and Gannicus, 3. Her puzzle is unfinished. With her new charges, she knows it likely will remain that way for a while. Xizallian asks her about the stars. He knows of the Big Dipper and the Little Dipper. But he wonders what else is out there. She’s not sure how to answer his questions. She also doesn’t know how to quell Kaydence’s curiosity about how the sunflowers and roses from her mother’s memorial will be immortalized within jewelry for the girl. “I want them to remember their mom and dad,” Smith said, cradling Gannicus as the young boy breathed deeply, asleep in her arms. A TV screeched in the other room. “He can fall asleep any place.” Gannicus and Kaydence are too young to fully process that their parents are gone, Smith said. Cincinnati Police suspect Smith’s son and the children’s father, Clifford Smith, 39, killed their mother, Ashley Montgomery, 31. Then police report he took his own life. The violence not only wiped away two lives, but upended Theresa Smith’s. She previously worked for Envision Commercial Cleaning. Its CEO, Joe Okum, started a GoFundMe account at bit.ly/Tsmithchildren for Smith after she was forced to stop working to care for the children. Since then, the GoFundMe has raised about $5,400 for Smith. She is living frugally as she seeks full custody of the children and receives a death benefit from Social Security due to the parents’ deaths. The children are adjusting to their new environment. But sometimes they feel out of place. “Gannicus has asked to go home a couple times,” Smith said. “With Kaydence, when somebody’s getting ready to leave, a lot of times she’ll say, ‘You know my mom and dad are dead?’

Dollar land deal? Not for stadium, Cincinnati says Sharon Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The buck stops here. Literally. As FC Cincinnati prepares to pour the foundation on its $250 million major league soccer stadium, the city of Cincinnati is frustrating team oﬃcials by refusing to do something it has in the past: sell land for a dollar. The majority of city council says it won’t take less than $1.6 million for a key parcel of land, currently used for police vehicles. FC Cincinnati says the city should do what is has done in the past for some economic development deals and give them the land needed for the stadium - the biggest development in the city since Great American Tower was erected in 2006. FC Cincinnati oﬃcials contend the land was promised to them as part of a $32.9 million incentive package for infrastructure needs that was designed to keep the team in Cincinnati rather than Newport, Kentucky, which was an option at one point. An Enquirer analysis of city records shows the city has sold at least 11 cityowned parcels for a nominal fee – usually $1 – since 2012. In that period, the city handed out $16.6 million in land for a total of $10.

Contact The Press

(The selling prices were $2 or $1; and, in two cases, the city just gave the land away.) In each case, the council determined the benefit of the jobs and developments being built outweighed the actual value of the land. The land at issue is a 39,193 squarefoot parcel of city-owned land currently used for parking at police headquarters and a portion of Central Avenue. The city owns the land, appraised at $1.6 million. It would sit under the stadium’s footprint. So why stop the land giveaways now, with FC Cincinnati committed to building a $250 million stadium? Councilman David Mann says taxpayers have already committed to a stadium incentive package worth almost $35 million. And nobody, he says, has made the case about why taxpayers should pay even more. “The difference is, usually the land is part of the development deal and we understand the dollar for dollar trade-off,” Mann said. In this case, “the development deal is done and this is out of the blue. And, it’s also land the city uses.” FC Cincinnati President and General Manager Jeff Berding, a former city councilman, believed the land would be part of the city’s incentive package based on what council members told him. But it’s not part of the written agree-

ment that stemmed from council’s approval. As a former councilman, Berding knows land deals are often part of incentive packages used to lure development to a city, where the city provides land and infrastructure support in return for private sector investment that comes from it. “FC Cincinnati is bringing nearly $500 million in private investment and economic development to an underserved neighborhood,” he said. “The direct and indirect ﬁnancial impact for the City of Cincinnati will be well in excess of the appraised value of the land.” Without the land, the construction project itself can’t come to council for approval. And without that, FC Cincinnati can’t start building the stadium, which must be opened in time for the 2021 soccer season.

by the current council, which took office in January 2018, the analysis shows. Land giveaways have long been an incentive cities use to lure developments. That’s particularly true where industrial manufacturing has faded away into swaths of vacant land, said Joe Parilla, a fellow at the Brookings Metropolitan Policy Program, which focuses on research and solutions that improve metropolitan area economies. “You have all this extra land ready to be used,” Parilla said. “From the city’s perspective, land incentives are a win-win. The firm gets the benefit, but so does the city because new business grows the tax base.” But the question is balance, he said. How much is too much to give away? “Cities have to ask themselves could they have gotten a better deal than just giving the land away,” Parilla said. “But that is the challenge. You never really know what the company can afford.” Sports developments are more fraught with secondguessing about just how much taxpayers should help. In some cases there is civic pride in a team that can supercede the economic bottom line, but stadiums are not generally considered economic drivers, Parilla said. “There is a difference between subsidizing sport stadiums and giving one to a major employer that is generating high-paying jobs and maybe has a supplier base that relies on it,” Parilla said. In Cincinnati, of course, professional stadium deals have long been derided as bad deals for citizens, who approved a half-cent sales tax that was used to build to the Reds and Bengals stadiums. Under the building agreements, the land came at no cost to the teams, citizens pay for some or all of the stadium operations and the teams reap the benefits from game-day parking. Berding formally worked for The Bengals and is certainly aware of those benefits. The city is asking FC Cincinnati to not only pay for the land, but also pay roughly $800,000 to reconfigure the Town Center Garage and build a surface parking lot across the street from District One, where police officers would park, Councilman Mann has said. A look at city land deals: 84.51° This consumer insights subsidiary of Kroger built a $36 million office building at the corner of Fifth and Race streets that created 550 new jobs.

The land at issue is parcel of city-owned land currently used for parking at police headquarters and a portion of Central Avenue. CARA OWSLEY/THE ENQUIRER

Named for its Downtown location, this planned $36 million, 14-story, mixed-use development project - including a parking garage – is under construction. Council sold land appraised at $2.5 million for $1 in 2018. This replaces an old, unsafe, parking garage. Shillito West This $27 million mixed-use development project, including a parking garage, is at the corner of Seventh and Elm streets Downtown. Council sold land appraised at $100,000 for $1 in 2018. Firehouse Row apartments An $18 million mixed-use development project, including 124 residential units, is being built on East McMillan Street in Walnut Hills. Council sold land appraised at $293,000 for $1 in 2018. The land deal helped bridge a $1 million financing gap and kept rents at an affordable price for the neighborhood, city officials said. Benton Block development 8K Construction is rehabbing six properties in Overthe-Rhine near Findlay Market. The project will include some affordable housing units. Council sold the property appraised at $82,600 for $1 in 2018. SFA headquarters This is a $3.7 million redevelopment of a vacant warehouse in Queensgate that now serves as the architectural firm’s headquarters. Council in 2018 gave away land appraised at $36,900 in exchange for a promise that the company creates 25 new jobs within four years. Nehemiah Manufacturing

This company moved its oﬃces and warehouse - an $11 million project - to Lower Price Hill, creating 50 new jobs. Council sold land appraised at $122,500 for $1 in 2017. Messer Construction headquarters Messer built a new $7.9 million headquarters on Cutter Street in the West End. Council sold land appraised at $344,800 for $1 in 2016. Avondale Town Center This redevelopment, under construction now, is a health clinic, a laundromat and aﬀordable housing. Council, in 2016, sold the land to the developer for the appraised price of $1.3 million, but then returned the same amount the developer in the form of a construction grant. It was supposed to house a grocery store, but that part of the project has remained elusive. Seventh and Sycamore The $3.5 million mixed-use development on this Downtown block includes apartments and a parking garage. Council in 2015 sold land appraised at $3.1 million for $1. MedPace phase two B This is a seven-story apartment complex and parking garage under construction at Red Bank Expressway and Madison Road in Madisonville. Council in 2018 did a land swap that gave the developer land valued at $40,000. But the developer has agreed to provide other land to the city at no cost, if Red Bank Expressway is widened.

But for roughly four months before the children moved in, she lived alone. “I went to it being very quiet to it being very noisy,” she said. “At times I feel like, ‘Why did you leave me with all this?’ I don’t know what I’m doing.” Xizallian, as the oldest, strives to ease Smith’s burden in small ways.

Cincinnati City Council will soon vote on installing LED lights in all student drop oﬀ and pick up zones at all school zones in the city. The motion was proposed on Thursday, Jan. 31 by Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld. It is a multi-year plan and partnership between the Cincinnati Department of Transportation and Engineering and Duke Energy that aims to protect students. There were 13 Cincinnati Public Schools students hit by a vehicle in 2018, according to police reports and a tally from the school district. One student, Gabby Rodriguez, was killed. There are 154 school zones in Cincinnati and according to Sittenfeld, it will cost approximately $10,000 per school to upgrade the lighting. “Improving pedestrian safety absolutely requires a multiple-pronged approach - including engineering solutions, enforcement solutions, and education/awareness solutions — and we’ve been working on all those fronts,” Sittenfeld said. “But we know this much for sure: If drivers can’t see well, if visibility is poor, then students walking in school zones and crossing streets in school zones are less safe.” Part of the plan has already been set in motion. In December, LED lighting was installed outside Dater High School and Western Hills University High School after demands for increased safety for

Rodriguez was a West High student and in December, a 12-year-old Dater student was stuck in a crosswalk. “After we made the improvements outside Dater and West High we had one parent come down to City Hall to say thank you, and she said that the diﬀerence in visibility was night and day,” Sittenfeld said. Duke and the Department of Transportation and Engineering will create a timeline and prioritize schools, according to Sittenfeld. “For the highest impact locations — places where we’ve seen incidents like at Dater and West High — we want to get going immediately,” Sittenfeld said.

Roll up something sweet for Valentine’s Day Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

Good thing I’m short and have a good amount of “padding.” I had just gathered eggs and a wheelbarrow full of wood for the stove. This was when the temperature was in single digits. Well, I hit a patch of ice on the way back to the house. Down I went. The basket of eggs fell out of the wheelbarrow, along with some of the wood. No worries, I was ﬁne but was startled to see how quickly broken eggs could freeze. I eventually got everything back in order and was glad that enough eggs were saved to make a jelly roll for Valentine’s Day. Check out my abouteating.com site for step-by-step photos.

Can you help? Nalley’s French onion dip recipe clone I have requests for this recipe and somehow lost it. If you have it, please send to me and I’ll share it again. Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educator, Jungle Jim’s Eastgate culinary professional and author. Find her blog online at Abouteating.com. Email her at rita@com munitypress.com with “Rita’s kitchen” in the subject line.

Classic jelly roll Thought making a jelly roll was too tricky? Not so if you follow my step-by-step instructions. This is sometimes called a sponge roll. Ingredients 1 cup all purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder ⁄4teaspoon salt

3 large eggs 1 cup granulated sugar ⁄3 cup water

2 teaspoons vanilla Confectioners’ sugar 1 generous cup or so favorite jam, jelly or preserves Instructions Preheat oven to 375. Preparing pan: Spray a jelly roll pan, approx. 15”x10 “x1”, and place a piece of parchment paper on top. Spray parchment paper.

Making a jelly roll isn’t too difficult with good instructions. RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Blend flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. Beat eggs until thick and lemon colored. This is important and will take a few minutes. Beat in granulated sugar gradually. Blend in water and vanilla. Slowly mix in dry ingredients just until batter is smooth. Pour into pan. Bake 10-12 minutes - cake is done when it will spring back lightly when pressed in center. Don’t over bake or cake will be hard to roll.

Finishing up: Spread with thin layer of jam. Roll again. Trim edges. (Those are for you!). Place seam side down on platter. Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar. It’s even better the next day, after the jam has soaked into the cake a bit.

Rolling up:

Tip:

While cake is baking, sprinkle a towel with confectioners’ sugar.

“Oh no, my cake cracked!” It happens once in a while and means cake was over baked or was rolled too tightly. Not to worry, as long as you can roll it up. Confectioners’ sugar is a great culinary band aid - just add more to cover the cracks.

When cake is done, loosen edges and immediately turn upside down on towel. Remove paper. While cake is still hot, roll up on the long side into towel, using towel to nudge the cake along. (This initial rolling helps “shape” the roll). Don’t roll up too tightly as this could cause it to crack. Let cool 8-10 minutes. Unroll.

World-Class

Brushing with liqueurs: Feel free to brush your cake with your favorite liqueur before spreading on the jam. Coordinate flavors and you’re good to go.

Homeowners attending remodeling expos should plan to listen to presenters and pick up contact information from potential contractors – not go in with the intent to hire someone on the spot. After returning from the show, sift through the information, select the top three potential candidates for the project, and research the business from a source such as bbb.org.

Read through the contract carefully for the cancellation clause and what rights you have to stop the work. sent copies of all necessary certiﬁcations at the homeowner's request. Close attention should be given to the type of insurance carried by the contractor, and proper coverage should be outlined for anyone involved with the project - including subcontractors. While checking out the company, review the references presented from previous projects. Next, the contract must list the exact items needed for the project, all the way down to the speciﬁc quantity, size, price, and brand of the products the contractor plans to use. A proposed start and end date should be clearly listed, along with a payment schedule that includes the down payment – typically no more than 10 to 15 percent of the overall cost

of the project. Homeowners should keep in mind, however, that start and end dates may change depending on unexpected delays during the project. Finally, homeowners are encouraged to ask if they are responsible for disposing of old appliances, cleaning up after demolition, and recycling any usable materials, or if these tasks fall under the services the contractor covers. These details should be included in the contract along with any speciﬁcs as to how they will keep your home clean as demolition is taking place. Any stipulations the contractor states - including requests to board animals elsewhere during construction must also be outlined in the contract.

Although the process of setting up and moving forward with a remodeling project is long and involved, there should be an opportunity to opt out of the contract at any point if things aren’t working out as planned. Read through the contract carefully for the cancellation clause and what rights you have to stop the work. Anyone attending should enjoy the remodeling show and get some great ideas for their upcoming project, but they should make sure to check out any chosen contractors at bbb.org before getting started.

Sports Area athletes aﬀected as Malone drops its football program Chris Pugh Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

An Ohio university is dropping its football program after 26 years, which aﬀects three former Greater Cincinnati high school football players. Malone University said Friday, Feb. 1, in a press release it will discontinue its football team as part of a school restructuring. The Canton school said it's working to take care of a $2.5 million structural deﬁcit over the next two years and said the decision would eliminate $1 million

in annual expenses. Enquirer-area players on last season's team include Gabe Mathews of Hamilton, JD Stamper of Mason and Ariq Johnson of La Salle.

Stamper played in 33 games over a four-year career with Malone. In his senior season, Stamper started all 10 games at center and ﬁnished his career with 29 consecutive starts. He was named G-MAC Honorable Mention AllConference. In high school, Mathews was named a second-team All-Greater Miami Conference defensive back in both his junior and senior seasons at Hamilton. Mathews was a freshman last year for Malone. Johnson was named to the All GCLSouth football second team at La Salle, where he graduated in 2017. He was a

redshirt freshman last year for Malone, after being a part of the 2016 La Salle state championship team. “I’ve worked in higher education for more than 25 years and been honored to serve as president of Malone for the past seven years, and this is by far the most diﬃcult decision I’ve had to make,” King said in the press release. “We love our students and recognize that this will change elements of the student experience for our football players. This decision aligns our resources more closely with our core academic mission and See MALONE, Page 2B

La Salle bowlers double up on

PERFECT GAMES James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The La Salle Lancers were double trouble on the bowling lanes Thursday night, Jan. 17. La Salle teammates Jake Toelke and Nolan Blessing bowled back to back perfect 300s in competition Jan. 17 vs Oak Hills at Western Bowl. Toelke bowled the ﬁrst 300 in La Salle history two years ago when he was a sophomore. Last night he bowled the second 300 in their history and then about 90 seconds later the third one was bowled by Blessing. Toelke currently leads the GCL in average with a 224. Blessing shot a 256 in his other solo game during the match to help the

Lancers score 2,966 pins overall and improve to 11-2 on the season. Blessing has several 300 games in other competition, including one at age 10, which makes him one of the youngest to ever accomplish that. He bowled on national TV last summer at the Junior Gold tournament in Dallas and ﬁnished ﬁfth in the nation individually in the U15 championships. It was a productive day for area bowlers. Jenna Goodman of Northwest High School bowled a near-perfect 299 on Thursday, just missing a strike on her 12th ball. She bowled a 202 in her other game to help Northwest to a resounding win over Mt. Healthy, scoring 2,847 pins overall to improve to 14-0. Teammates Sydnie (475) and Sophia Fischer (438) also had huge days.

OHSAA infraction list includes some area schools Melanie Laughman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Following the Jan. 17 board meeting, the Ohio High School Athletic Association issued penalties for 27 schools recently committing infractions. The OHSAA imposed the following penalties against Greater Cincinnati schools that violated OHSAA bylaws or sports regulations: Purcell Marian High School had a student-athlete in varsity football violate Bylaw 4-4-1, Scholarship. However, the student met Exception 3 to the Bylaw (“Incomplete” restored to passing grade) but the school permitted the student to participate prior to receiving an eligibility ruling from the Executive Director’s Office. The OHSAA has restored eligibility for the student retroactively but the school has been fined $100. Princeton High School violated Bylaw 4-9-2, Recruiting, when a boys assistant track and field coach engaged in impermissible activity designed to influence a student to transfer to Princeton High School. The Executive Director’s Office issued the following sanc-

tions: 1) Princeton shall submit an action plan that outlines the education that will be provided to all coaches regarding Bylaw 4-9, Recruiting. 2) Princeton athletic administrator(s) shall attend the OHSAA New Administrators Seminar which is held in early August. 3) Princeton is publicly reprimanded for lack of administrative responsibility in this matter. 4) Should Princeton HS decide to ultimately renew the coach for the 2019 season, Princeton is required to notify the OHSAA ofﬁce and, while he is permitted to coach during the regular season, the coach be denied the opportunity to coach Princeton in the 2019 OHSAA tournament. Aiken High School had a student-athlete in freshman boys basketball violate Bylaw 4-3-1 Enrollment and Attendance, during the 2017-18 season. The school must forfeit the seven victorious contests in which the ineligible student participated. River View East and Woodward High School each had a student-athlete who was reassigned by the district as a result of a speciﬁc change of academic program and was eligible to qualify for full eligibility. However, the district failed to submit the requests for eligi-

bility to the Executive Director’s Office within the first 15 of the school year. The OHSAA has restored eligibility for the students but the district has been fined $100. River View East High School had a student-athlete who was reassigned by the district as a result of a specific change of academic program and was eligible to qualify for full eligibility. However, the district failed to submit the request for eligibility within the first 15 days of the school year. The OHSAA has restored eligibility for the student but the district has been fined $100. The OHSAA reported that 103 schools violated numerous sport regulations during the 2019 fall sports season. These violations resulted in $8,520 in fines. According to the OHSAA, 34 schools violated General Sports Regulation 3, Mandatory Requirement for Rating/Voting for Tournament Officials; three (3) schools violated General Sports Regulation 5, Penalties for Failure to Conduct Pre-Season Meetings; 110 schools violated General Sports Regulation 6, OHSAA-Sponsored Tournaments Entry/Withdraw Procedures and Draw/ Seed Meeting Dates; and 16 schools violated General Sports Regulation 16, Tournaments (Failure to Appear).

A two-time first team all-district and all-Girls Greater Catholic League selection, Dinkelacker had 724 total kills to lead Mercy to four sectional championships and a pair of district titles. Dinkelacker went on to play Division I Dinkelacker volleyball at St. Louis University before transferring to the University of Cincinnati. She led the Bearcats to 58 wins over her three-year tenure in Clifton. As a senior in 2016, she was one of four Bearcats to play in all 118 sets, helping lead UC to a second-place finish in the American Athletic Conference and an atlarge bid in the 2016 NCAA Tournament, where she had 14 digs in a first-round loss to Florida State University. Dinkelacker replaces Shannon Thompson, who last season led Colerain to its first 10-win campaign since 2010. Colerain has had just one winning season (2010) since going 56-39 combined from 2004-2007.

Each stop is assessed based on its location – ensuring stops aren’t too close or spread too far apart – as well as its usage, amenities, safety and accessibility. Several proposed changes to stops will be tested in a pilot program beginning in early March.
