How art - and The Enquirer led to love

Sheriff Jim Neil faces former sheriff’s Maj. Charmaine McGuffey in the March Democratic primary. They’ve known each other and worked with each other for decades. THE ENQUIRER

What you should know about the sheriff’s race Scott Wartman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Sheriff Jim Neil and Charmaine McGuffey grew up together - same high school, same college, same sheriff ’s department. They’ve known each for decades. Now she’s suing Neil in federal court and running against him for Hamilton County Sheriff in the Democratic Primary on March 17. Here are five things to know about this very personal and bitter race:

Who are Neil and McGuffey?

Craig Davis and Pam Kravetz sit on the front porch of their home in Columbia-Tusculum on Feb. 10. “He has a broken nose,” she recalls. “I loved it right away. I thought, ‘You’re cool.’ He had a quiet coolness, an understated confidence.” MEG VOGEL/ THE ENQUIRER

When artist Pam Kravetz was featured in The Enquirer on February 12, 2004 – yes, two days before Valentine’s Day – she talked about how her lackluster love life inspired her upcoming art show. The show was titled “Heartfelt” and chronicled her quest, via fabric patches, for the characteristics she sought in a partner: “Amusing.” “Loving.” “Charismatic.” In the Enquirer story, Kravetz lamented difficult dates and wondered where all the men were, saying “It’s hard to meet men in Cincinnati. I know so many fabulous women. Where are the men?”

She was 42 then, mom to Max Wildenhaus, 13, and an art teacher at Harrison High School. When the newspaper came out that day, Kravetz was thrilled by the cover story. She was sure her parents bought every copy printed. Well, not every copy. Craig Davis was at his Pleasant Ridge home reading the same story. He was intrigued, and smitten from afar. Add in a co-worker of Davis’, a Seinfeld episode, a student of Kravetz’s, and a stack of business cards and, well, the rest is history. Or at least a rom-com. Kravetz and Davis got married three years later. So, if you’re not with the person you love, this See LOVE, Page 2A

The lives of Neil, 61, and McGuffey, 62, have paralleled each other since birth. They were both raised on the West Side, McGuffey in East Price Hill, Neil in Westwood. They both graduated Western Hills High School, McGuffey in 1975, Neil in 1976. They then went to the same college, the University of Cincinnati, and were in the same program, both earning a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice. Neil joined the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Department in 1981. McGuffey in 1983. They remained at the sheriff ’s department, moving through a variety of roles. For Neil, he worked as a bomb squad commander, a hazardous material technician and a police academy instructor. When his boss, Republican Sheriff Simon Leis, announced in 2011 he wouldn’t seek re-election, Neil retired to run for office. In a general election, Neil has been unbeatable, trouncing Republican challengers in 2012 and 2016. This is his first challenge from within his own party. For McGuffey, this is her first run at political office. She started her career at the sheriff ’s office as a deputy in the jail. She served as a lead hostage negotiator for a time. She was promoted to major in 2013 and put in charge of the jail, Ohio’s third largest. She lives in downtown Cincinnati with her wife, Christine Sandusky, and their two dogs. Neil lives with his wife, Kim, in See SHERIFF, Page 1A

Love Continued from Page 1A

Valentine’s Day story is for you.

The George Costanza strategy Back in 2004, Kravetz was divorced, a single mom and dipping her toe into Cincinnati’s dating pool. This was pre-Match.com and there was no such thing as Tinder. The iPhone wasn’t even invented yet. Kravetz relied on friends to set her up. Men didn’t call back and when she went on dates, nobody seemed just right. Kravetz channeled her frustration into her art, creating a series of art called Bad Relationships. Davis too was divorced. He went on occasional dates, but he channeled his energy into his two young daughters and their school lives. And when they were with their mother, he discovered a passion for the outdoors, kayaking and even became a triathlon competitor. Both had set guidelines for their dating lives. Kravetz tried “The Rules: How to Capture the Heart of Mr. Right,” a series of dating guidelines made popular by a bestselling book by the same name. Davis was a fan of the show “Seinfeld.” Tired of his own failed dates, he tried something the character, George Costanza, once did – doing everything the complete opposite of what he would do normally. Around that time, Enquirer arts reporter Marilyn Bauer wrote the feature on Kravetz. That 2004 morning, Davis was intrigued by the story. “I thought, ‘She sounds like a lot of fun,’” Davis said. Davis, an engineer at Ethicon, quickly dismissed the thought, thinking, “I would be too scared to go out with her. I’m an engineer. I’m very shy.”

More than 20 years of Kravetz’s artwork is on display at Downtown’s 21C Museum Hotel. Each piece tells a story of love and identity. “My art completely changed,” she says. “I could not tell the stories I tell today without him.”

A stack of business cards Those doubts didn’t stop him from asking a coworker, Steve Young, whose daughter went to Harrison High School, if he knew anything about the “art teacher who was in the paper.” Cue operation matchmaker. Young asked his daughter, Ali Young, what she knew. Ali Young didn’t waste any time. Kravetz said Ali Young came to her ceramics room and said, “Hey, Miss Kravetz, my dad’s friend thinks you’re cute and funny. He wants to go out with you.’” Kravetz handed Ali Young a stack of business cards. She wasn’t particularly hopeful. And maybe she was just being nice. She certainly didn’t think he’d call. But when Young handed Davis Kravetz’s business card, he knew he had to call. “It was all very risky to me,” Davis said. “The description of her was not typically who I date.” This is how Bauer described Kravetz in the story: “Her nose is pierced; she has shaggy mahoganystreaked hair and, in her spare time, throws house parties where, instead of Tupperware, she sells potions.” Once the date was set, Davis said, he thought,

Pam Kravetz met Craig Davis, after The Enquirer wrote an article featuring her in 2004. They got married at the Cincinnati Art Museum on May 27, 2007, and now live in Columbia Tusculum.

“Gosh, what did I get myself into to?’” After following “The Rules” for so long, Kravetz broke the rule dictating she shouldn’t ask Davis in, even if it was just to pick her up and make small talk over brie and wine. Just as Davis was intrigued, so was Kravetz when she opened the door. “He has a broken nose,” she recalls. “I loved it right away. I thought, ‘You’re cool.’ He had a quiet coolness, an understated confidence.”

The art of love It turns out they were opposites only on the outside. They found they shared a sense of adventure, optimistic views, and a devotion to family. In the weeks and months that followed they folded

A U.S. Army First Sergeant, Minyard was forced to retire early due to debilitating chronic back pain, caused by moving pieces of rubble as a 9-11 ﬁrst responder and a 20-meter fall during a combat mission. After years of struggling with the pain, Minyard was offered the opportunity for Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS), which ﬁnally brought him lasting relief.

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel is known to have his crews take to the streets and ask random people questions about current events. This time, they went to fashionistas attending New York Fashion Week and posed a familiar question to Cincinnatians: “Should Pete Rose be reinstated by Major League Baseball?” Most people had no idea who Pete Rose is. Some answers were “I honestly am not a huge sports person” and “I don’t know who that is.” One woman was asked, “Do you consider Pete Rose to be the Vera Wang of Baseball?” Her response was yes, but she was clearly stumped when asked why she thought that and talked around the answer. In the last interview, the crew encounters a woman from Cincinnati. “I do think that it’s time. Pete Rose we love you!” she exclaims. “Come hang out with us at fashion week.” Rose has been making headlines recently after submitting a letter to MLB commissioner Rob Manfred, arguing that Manfred’s reluctance to punish active players in a cheating scandal opens the door to reinstating baseball’s all-time hits leader. MLB recently suspended Houston Astro’ GM Jeff Luhnow and manager A.J. Hinch for

him on the permanently ineligible list for betting on games. Rose has admitted he gambled on the Cincinnati Reds while managing the team in the 1980s. He had most recently applied for reinstatement in 2015, but Manfred rejected the proposal. This time, Rose’s lawyers used the MLB investigation that led to the suspensions and dismissal of former Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow and manager AJ Hinch to argue that Rose’s punishment is no longer proportional to his transgression.

into one another’s lives. Davis took Pam camping and she loved it, even though she wore heels the first time, and almost tumbled out of a kayak, mistakes she never made again. Davis, 64, who never took an art class, drew on his shop class days in high school and began creating the wooden forms on which Kravetz builds her art. They got married at the Cincinnati Art Museum on May 27, 2007, and now live in Columbia Tusculum. Right now Kravetz, 58, is showing art at 21C, part of a series called Elevate. The downtown Cincinnati hotel features local artists on each floor just across from the elevators. She’s titled it, “Pam Land: A Narrative Journey in Pink Fake Fur, Self Expression and Superheroes.” It’s very much her art aesthetic, media ranging from narrative quilting, to painting, ceramics and performance. It’s unapologetic and loud, with bright pinks and neon lights. It pulls the viewer in for a closer look and into the private and personal stories of her life and world around her, just as it always has. And, in this exhibit, as she does, Kravetz re-purposed old art into new pieces. So, now 16 years later after that Enquirer story, some of the work that made up the Heartfelt exhibit before Pam ever met Davis is now part of an exhibit they made together. It incorporates the entire family — her son, his daughters, Erin Davis and Jill Davis and their grandchildren. “My art completely changed,” Pam Kravetz said. “I could not tell the stories I tell today without him”

Nation Kitchen & Bar sets mid-summer opening date for Westwood location Laura Mazade Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Nation Kitchen & Bar has set an opening date for its Westwood location. The restaurant, which opened its first location in the Pendleton neighborhood in 2015, plans to open in Westwood by late spring or early summer. “It has been a long road to get to this point but we are finally ready to break ground and bring Nation Kitchen & Bar to Westwood,” co-owner Andrew Salzbrun said in a press release. “We believe that we’ll be open to the public in late spring/early summer and are eyeing a July opening for the project.” The second location will require some demo and construction as the restaurant will be in the historic firehouse at 3002 Junietta Ave. Hickory Wald, owner of Nation, bought the building from the City of Cincinnati through a competitive process. The intention is to leave many origi-

Garden club wins grant for Our Lady of Lourdes School Anita Brackmann, science teacher at Our Lady of Lourdes School, was awarded a grant from the Plant America Project titled Today’s Youth – Tomorrow’s Gardeners sponsored by Garden Club of Ohio President, Mary Lou Smith. The goal of this project is to provide opportunities for children to further their knowledge in gardening through educational programs which include horticulture, floriculture, and the importance of being responsible stewards of our land. Western Hills Garden Club nominated Brackmann for the exceptional work she is doing with her students in the area of horticulture. Brackmann will use the funds for a science project that will focus on growing “super foods” in space using a Tower Garden. This garden purchased by WHGC two years for her classroom uses an aeroponic system that allows vertical

plant growth so that a tremendous amount of plants can be grown in a small space.

The students researched the best plants to include in an aeroponic garden in a space colony on the moon, then de-

veloped a hypothesis, and lastly tested it by growing the plants from seeds in the Tower. This is a cross-curricular project that involved the study of nutrition, horticulture, and argumentation. Members of the Western Hills Garden Club recently visited the science classroom to see how this project was progressing. The students reported on their chosen plants and the data that was collected during germination and growth. One group which harvested their spinach prepared a dish which was shared with the class. By sponsoring such gardening projects in school classrooms, Western Hills Garden Club hopes not only to help students gain a lifelong love of gardening, but also acquire basic life skills while supplementing the school’s curriculum.

Sheriff

Where’s the money coming from? Both raised about the same amount of money in the final three months of 2019. McGuffey raised $57,524 and Neil raised $60,820, according to the latest financial reports submitted to the Hamilton County Board of Elections. Neil has far more cash on hand, carried over from previous elections for a total of $202,968. McGuffey has $92,570 on hand.

Sayler Park.

Hostile work environment or discrimination? Shortly after he was elected sheriff, Neil promoted McGuffey to major in 2013 and put her in charge of the jail. Their relationship went south from there. “I faced resistance from the day I put on the oak leaves as a major,” McGuffey told The Enquirer’s editorial board, referring to the insignia worn by majors on their uniform. “I faced resistance from certain men in the department that, for whatever reason, didn’t want to support my position.” And she said Neil sided with the men who hated her. “Jim Neil and I, we worked well together initially,” McGuffey said. “Then I found he doesn’t share the same values as I do.” Neil said McGuffey had a tendency to “get out of her lane.” This led to an internal investigation in 2017 where several officers complained McGuffey created a hostile work environment. They complained of being berated and bullied by McGuffey according to an 108-page internal investigation report. One deputy, Deputy Heather Dobbins, told investigators McGuffey made her feel “like a 16-year-old kid getting yelled at by her mother for leaving the family car in the driveway with no gas.” “There’s dozens of deputies with targets on their back if she wins the election,” Neil said. “I have a lot of stressed employees because of her vindictive nature.” She was demoted in 2017 amid the multiple charges that she created a hostile work environment for others. She was fired after she refused to work a lower-paying civilian job. A year later, she filed a federal lawsuit against the sheriff ’s office claiming her demotion was not due to her work performance but because of her raising concerns about the use of force and her orientation as an openly gay woman. That lawsuit is still pending in federal court. McGuffey said got along with most

McGuffey had more smaller donors and few large contributions. Neil’s notable contributions:

officers under her supervision. “I stand up to bullies,” McGuffey said. “And when you do that, there are consequences.”

What happened in Covington? Does it matter? A 2010 incident at a bar in Covington has haunted McGuffey’s campaign. Neil has used it to attack her credibility. It was an April night, at 11 p.m., when McGuffey and a few friends left a nowclosed gay bar on Pike Street. In an ensuing confrontation with police, McGuffey would be accused of acting belligerently toward the Covington officers, cursing and yelling at them. “You can suck my –,” a Covington officer heard her say, according to a letter written by then-Covington Police Chief Lee Russo that is referenced in the disciplinary documents. The officer reported not hearing how McGuffey ended the phrase. McGuffey said she never used that language. She was sticking up for her friends. “I was not doing anything unlawful,” McGuffey said. “I was targeted for exiting a gay bar. I made clear to the officer I thought they were targeting a gay bar, and the officer wrote me tickets. I was not arrested.” McGuffey was charged with public intoxication, disorderly conduct and menacing, all misdemeanors. The charges were dropped. But she received a five-day suspension.

The incident landed her in 2018 on the Brady List, an official list of cops with marks on their records kept by the Hamilton County prosecutor. Why was she put on the list eight years after the incident? The prosecutor had asked the sheriff for an updated list in Dec. 2018, said Julie Wilson, chief assistant prosecutor in Hamilton County. The prosecutor asked the sheriff to go 10 years back for offenses. So what does it mean to be on the Brady List? A U.S. Supreme Court ruling, Brady vs. Maryland, requires prosecutors to provide defendants with evidence that could help win exoneration or receive a lighter sentence. That could include officer misconduct, so many prosecutors keep lists of officers’ names and acts they’ve committed. Every county has discretion on what transgressions can make the list. McGuffey appears on it twice, once for the Covington incident and a second time for dishonesty during the internal investigation of a hostile work environment that led to her firing. Neil said this would hurt her credibility in court and impede her ability to serve as sheriff. McGuffey said it doesn’t preclude her from working with the prosecutor’s office, FBI or any other agency. The prosecutor’s office said it depends. “Each case is different and it would depend on whether or not the judge ruled that this information was relevant and admissible,” Wilson said in an email

to The Enquirer. “And, if so, it would then be up to the defense attorney to attack the officer’s credibility.”

Does Trump matter? For Neil, it’s a 2016 rally for Donald Trump in West Chester that’s haunted him. His attendance at the rally angered many Democrats and still does to this day. His image, smiling on stage behind Trump, is part of one of two online ads McGuffey released on Facebook. It was cited as a reason he didn’t get the Hamilton County Democratic Party endorsement, an unusual occurrence for an incumbent. Neil later apologized for his attendance and said he was there at the invitation of Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones. The mention of Jones hasn’t helped his case among some Democrats. Jones is a vocal supporter of Trump and has made national headlines for his hard-line stances on illegal immigration.

Who’s the real Democrat? This is a primary. So perhaps the biggest question looming in the race is whether Neil is too conservative to be a Democrat. In addition to appearing at the Trump rally, Neil’s interview with party officials for the endorsement did not go well. At a dramatic meeting in January, Democrats read Neil the riot act. One party executive, Britt Born, said Democrats during the endorsement interview asked Neil whether he acknowledged disparities between how white people and black people are treated in the criminal justice system. “Sheriff Neil would only respond that he is color blind,” Born said. Neil had some supporters in the audience, including Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley. Cranley said the only way to beat Trump is to have a wide variety of candidates, including Neil. “I believe we have to be a big tent and support our incumbents,” Cranley said. “If the vote isn’t there to support our incumbent, at a minimum, there should be no endorsement.”

Do you have a goetta recipe or memory? Rita’s goetta Double the recipe if you like. The only changes I made from my family’s original recipe were adding broth, garlic and marjoram. So if you’re a purist like my German in-laws, leave them out. Just add more water to sub for the broth. Either way, it’s good. Ingredients 3-4 pounds fresh pork shoulder/butt, bone in or not, top fat trimmed just a bit 3 generous cups chopped onion and celery (include leaves) 3 bay leaves 2 tablespoons salt 1 tablespoon pepper ⁄2 to 1 teaspoon each: dried marjoram and garlic powder

1 quart low-sodium beef broth, and water enough to cover meat in pan. I added up to 6 cups. 30 to 32 oz. regular pinhead/steel cut oats Instructions Put everything but oats in large stockpot. Bring to boil, lower to simmer and cook, partially covered, until meat falls from bone, 2-3 hours or so. Add water as necessary to keep meat under liquid. Dump everything in a colander, straining broth for cooking oats. Set meat and veggies aside. (You’ll shred these while oats cook). Spray a large slow cooker and pour in hot broth. Pour in oats and stir. Cover and cook on high or low, stirring occasionally, until oats are thoroughly cooked. You may need to add water if oats look sort of dry before they’re cooked. Mine took about 21⁄2 hours on high.

Goetta with egg and bacon fried in a cast iron skillet. RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE ENQUIRER

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

A snowy wonderland greeted me when I woke up early this morning. The decision was made: today would be a goetta making day. Goetta, as you may know, is an iconic Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky food with Germanic origins. I don’t have space here to go into goetta’s history but check my site for a photo tutorial of my recipe using fresh pork shoulder/butt, plus recipes from readers, like Bernie Butscha’s great grandma’s recipe. Hers uses pork loin and ground chuck. Terry Balllman’s generational recipe has its origins at the stockyards in Cincinnati. June Cross’ includes beef shank and marrow bone. The Hoerst family uses ground beef

and ground pork. Others add a dash of cloves. Reader Jon Peters uses the recipe and pot handed down from his father-in-law. Jim Reinhart’s crockpot goetta is a reader fave. Get where I’m going here? About the only common denominator is pinhead, also called steel cut oats. We always used the 2 pound bag of Dorsel’s pinhead oats. I couldn’t find that at the grocery. I substituted Quaker steel cut oats, but the container was shy of 2 pounds. Yet the recipe turned out fine. You can use Irish steel cut oats. Don’t use quick cooking pinhead oats. My German in-laws made stove top goetta with freshly slaughtered pork shoulder/butt. My sister-in-law, Claire and I use a slow cooker for part of the process. Do you have a goetta recipe or memory? Coming soon: Doscher’s tea party specialities Chris Kimball of Milk Street

Cooked oats will be tender, liquid will be absorbed, and mixture will be thick enough and a bit clumpy looking for big spoon inserted in center to stand straight up. The thicker the consistency, the nicer your goetta sets up. Mix meat and veggie combo in with oats and continue to cook in slow cooker about 30 minutes, uncovered, stirring occasionally. Or put all in big pot and cook on stove until hot throughout. Remove bay leaves. Adjust seasonings. Line bread pans and spray. Put goetta in, packing tight. Smooth tops. Refrigerate uncovered for 12-24 hours. This creates a slight crust and allows goetta to set up firmly. Store, covered, in refrigerator or freezer. To serve: Cook until crisp with bacon or bacon drippings. It’s heresy in our family to cook any other way.

La Salle grad Garrett Celek retires from NFL Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

La Salle High School graduate Garrett Celek announced his retirement from the NFL after eight seasons on Friday, Feb. 7. Celek, who spent his entire career with the San Francisco 49ers, announced the decision on Instagram. At La Salle, Celek was picked second-team Greater Catholic LeagueSouth as a junior in 2005, then was a first-team selection as a senior. Celek spent four seasons at Michigan State University, where he caught 14 passes for 135 yards and three touchdowns for his career. Celek was the only undrafted free agent to make the 49ers’ 53-man roster See CELEK, Page 2B

Taylor boys, girls basketball enjoying winning seasons Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included reflects this article’s original publication date – Feb. 12. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates. Adam Rittershausen didn’t know if his plan would pay off. In his first two seasons as the head girls basketball coach at Taylor High School, his teams finished sixth in the Cincinnati Hills League each year and had a combined record of 11-35. “I’d be lying if there weren’t days where I thought this thing isn’t gonna click,” Rittershausen said. “This year I pointed to as a place to keep building and keep

teaching the girls the game. I just hoped we’d eventually see things pay off.” They have. Taylor recently finished the regular-season 15-7 (8-6 CHL) after defeating Finneytown on the road. It’s the program’s first winning season since 2005. In the previous 13 seasons, Taylor accumulated a 79205 record. The Yellowjackets finished sixth or worse in the CHL 12 times. When did the turnaround start? Rittershausen estimates a turning point came during team camps over the summer at Western Kentucky. “It was something different than what they’ve done before,” he said. “Everyone from the program was there — See TAYLOR, Page 2B

Former La Salle High School and Cincinnati Bearcats standout Brent Celek was recently named a personnel consultant for the Philadelphia Eagles, per a team announcement. The team announced last month that fellow former Bearcat Connor Barwin returned to the team as a special assistant to general manager Howie Roseman. Celek announced his retirement as a player in 2018 after 11 NFL seasons – all with the Philadelphia Eagles. Celek's brother, Garrett, a tight end for the San Francisco 49ers who also attended La Salle, recently announced his retirement. Celek was inducted into the La Salle High School Athletics Hall of Fame in January 2017.

it was complete and total buy in.” Next was a light-bulb realization when the regular season kicked off. In its first home game, Taylor defeated rival Harrison for the first time since 2015. “The aha moment was that Harrison game. They’re a D-I school and it’s a rivalry,” Rittershausen said. “It’s a game we lose more years than we win. It gave the girls confidence and we kinda took off.” The Yellowjackets would win six of their next eight, taking a 7-3 mark into the back half of their schedule. However, the usual cast of conference foes stood in Taylor’s way of making this season a special one. “Our attention turned toward the top part of our league —Indian Hill, Mariemont, Madeira and Wyoming,” Rittershausen said. “Those were the four and we just had to get over that hump and figure out a way to beat one or two of those teams.” Taylor went a combined 0-5 against those teams to start the season, but the breakthrough came Jan. 29 when the Yellowjackets erased a four-point halftime deficit to grind out a 32-30 road victory over Madeira. “That was the moment our girls realized we’re a good team,” Rittershausen said. One week later, Taylor defeated Wyoming by double digits and Monday’s victory over Finneytown gave the Yellowjackets a winning record (8-6) in conference play. “I thought we would be cruising at .500 and there’d be a few games that maybe if it went our way we could end up where we are now,” Rittershausen said. “We’ve dealt with a lot of losing; our team deserves this.” Taylor’s rebuild could not have been achieved without underclassmen enduring the growing pains that come with a young, inexperienced club. Senior guard Ashley Bucher is the team’s leading scorer, averaging 13.5 points per game. She’s a four-year varsity player and has been the focal point of Rittershausen’s starting five since he arrived in Cleves. “I talked to her before her sophomore year and told her, ‘You are gonna be a big part of our foundation and what’s gonna turn this around,’” Rittershausen

said. Against Harrison, Bucer went for 22 points on 9-of-18 shooting with six steals. In the 10-point win over Wyoming, she again shot 50% from the field, tallying a team-high 15. Bucher is complimented by six-foot forward Julia Gooding, who has also seen varsity action since her freshman year. Gooding leads the CHL in blocks (55) and rebounds (194), while adding 7.7 points per game. She’s posted five double-doubles this season, including a 10-point, 10-rebound performance in the win over the Cowboys. Junior guards Morgan Finley and Katie O’Brien help facilitate the offense. Finley is the team’s assists leader and Rittershausen refers to her as the “heart and soul” of Taylor basketball. O’Brien, despite being 5-foot-4, still averages over five rebounds per game. Lastly, senior Megan Mahon has been a comeback story for the Yellowjackets. The guard was the team’s leading scorer as a sophomore but missed all of her junior campaign with a head injury. “Megan is someone who means a lot personally as far as turning things around goes,” Rittershausen said. Rittershausen, who was previously the head boys basketball coach at Lockland, was enticed by the Taylor girls job by an old colleague. He was the head ju-

nior varsity boys coach and varsity assistant to James Holland at Western Hills. Holland was hired by Taylor before the 2017 season and it became a perfect match. “(Taylor) came open and it was kind of a perfect reunion with James Holland and was a place where I could grow my roots,” Rittershausen said. “His wife is also my assistant coach.” Holland, who was the head coach at Western Hills for two seasons before taking over at Taylor, has revamped the boys program, turning in the squad’s best season in nearly three decades. On Feb. 4, Taylor defeated Indian Hill for the first time to clinch its first winning season since 1993. There was no eye-opening win for the Taylor boys. They raced out of the gate to a 3-0 start, then won four straight to close out the calendar year 7-1, creating a never-before-seen buzz around the community. “There’s a lot of excitement,” Holland said. “We’ve had some packed gyms and it’s really great that everybody is getting behind these kids. Once you start 3-0, you realize these kids are growing up faster than expected.” Taylor only had three players with varsity experience coming into the season but brought in a wave of younger talent that helped the junior varsity squad win 18 games in 2019. Danny Austing showed flashes as a freshman, including a 25-point performance in a win over Clermont Northeastern. Now a sophomore, Austing has taken over as the team’s primary offensive weapon, averaging 14.7 points per game, tops in the conference among underclassmen. Junior Mitchell Zieverink and sophomore Harry Hilvert are among the additions who shined on J-V a season ago. Both average 8.6 points per game and have shown up in big spots. “Harry (Hilvert) we’ve had big expectations for just because he’s our only true post,” Holland said. “ The leadership role falls upon Bennett Weiherer and Josh Batte, the team’s only seniors. Neither guy lights up the box score (combining for 15.4 points per game), but their selfless styles act as fuel for the team as a whole. On top of their first winning season of the century, the Yellowjackets defeated Reading (twice), Madeira and Indian Hill for the first time. “We’ve taken it one game at a time and have won some valuable games in February.”

Seton High School dancers pose as national champions after winning a hip hop title in the 2020 UDA Varsity National Competition. SETON HIGH SCHOOL

Milford High School's competitive cheer team shows off it championship banner after winning at the UCA National Cheer Championship Feb. 9. MILFORD ATHLETICS

Local high schools succeed at national dance, cheer contests Alex Harrison Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A week after Seton High School returned from Orlando, Fla. with a national title from the Universal Dance Association National Dance Team Championship, Boone County High School and Milford High School returned with titles from the organization's cheer competition. Boone County won the Small Varsity Division I championship while Milford took first place in the Var-

sity Non-Building Game Day Finals. It was the secondconsecutive overall national championship for Boone County. Milford's event championship was its secondstraight title and third in the last four years. Milford finished third in the Small Varsity NonBuilding finals. The Universal Cheerleaders Association and the UDA combined to host the events over two weekends where more than 25,000 athletes from 36 states danced and cheered at Walt Disney World Resort. Seton won the Medium Varsity Hip Hop title in the

dance competition held the weekend of Jan. 31. Boone County and Milford competed the following weekend in the cheer competition. Each school qualified after advancing through regional events or camps. Dance competitors were judged on choreography, technique, execution and overall effect while cheer competitors were judged on crowd leading abilities, stunting, tumbling skills and overall performance according to a release. After being live-streamed online, the events will be re-broadcast on ESPN2 and ESPNU in late March.

ing at www.thedramaworshop.org. This musical version of “A Catered Affair” is based on the movie that starred Betty Davis, Ernest Borgnine and Debbie Reynolds. Playwright Harvey Fienstein and composer John Bucchino turned the story into a musical in 2008. Bucchino usually composes operas. His first foray into musicals results in beautifully lush melodies that underscore the emotional life of the characters. The show was nominated for 12 Drama Desk awards and was chosen as “Best Musical” by the New York Drama League. The action of the musical will take the audience back to Brooklyn in 1953. Husband and wife, Tom and Aggie, are reminded of the loss of their son in Korea when his death benefits check arrives. Tom wants to use the money to buy the medallion for the taxi he has been driving for 20 years. But when daughter Janey announces that she is getting married to her boyfriend at the courthouse before taking a cross country trip, Aggie decides that the money should be used to give her daughter the beautiful wedding she herself never had. Cathy Jo Judge will take on the role of Aggie, the bride’s mother, and Mark Culp will play Tom, the father. Anna Hazard will play the bride-tobe and D’Waughn Hazard, her fiance. Robert Weidle will play Uncle Winston. Jim Swartout, Mary Puetz, Denise Schnieders, Cathy Roesener and Sarah

Willis each play multiple roles including Janey’s best friend, Tom’s taxi-driving friend, the fiance’s parents, a caterer, a wedding dress shop owner and neighbors. Director Dan Maloney wanted to direct this show because he is “at a point in my life where I just want to tell a love story, and this is a beautiful one. The music is gorgeous. My hope is that audience members will come to the show and feel like they know these characters from their own lives and families.” The production team is led by producer Elaine Volker. The set was designed by Greg Schaper and set construction is led by master carpenters Schaper and Kent Smith. The costumes were designed by Cathy Ross. Jason Cox serves as the sound designer and Dennis Murphy as lighting designer. Elaine Volker assembled the props. The Drama Workshop welcomes A Taste of Class Catering as the show sponsor for this production.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution stating the right of citizens to vote “shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.” But did you know an actress-singer and a psychic, both from Cincinnati, were two important women in the suffrage movement? Trixie Friganza, who inspired the song “Take Me Out to the Ballgame,” donated money to the cause and repeatedly went on record as an advocate for women’s rights, equality and independence. And Laura Carter Pruden, mother of the Magic 8 Ball inventor, was a charter member of Harriet Taylor Upton Club, a suffrage organization formed in 1910 in Cincinnati. It’s fun and informative facts such as these that are featured in the exhibit “Genius of Liberty: The Long Struggle for Women’s Equality” on display through April 26 in the Joseph S. Stern, Jr. Cincinnati Room at the Downtown Main Library. The exhibit casts light on the crucial yet forgotten role played by Ohio from abolition to ratification and is named for The Genius of Liberty, one of the first feminist publications in the United States, published by Cincinnati suffragist Elizabeth Aldrich.

SCHOOL NEWS Gold Star and The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati honor Cheviot Elementary teacher Gold Star, in partnership with The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati, recently honored Gregory Cannon, Information Technologies teacher at Cheviot Elementary, with the first Be A Gold Star Teacher Award during an all-school assembly. In total, more than 300 teacher nominations for the accolade were received, spanning 223 schools across the Greater Cincinnati region. The contest celebrates the hard work and dedication of local teachers who have a clear passion for their job and go above and beyond for their students. Unbeknownst to him, more than 600 students gathered to help celebrate Cannon during an assembly. Cheviot Elementary Principal Tammy SolomonGray was joined by Gold Star and The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati representatives as well as fellow Cheviot teacher Onyango Collier, who nominated Cannon, to surprise Cannon with the award. As part of the ‘Be A Gold Star Teacher’ Award, Cannon received a free catered Gold Star lunch for his class, as well as a choice between three theater packages provided by The Children’s Theatre. Cannon opted for an on-site visit by The Children’s Theatre on Tour for a production of “Annie Jr. “ or “Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical” for the entire school to enjoy. “We received so many fantastic nominations for this award, and it was difficult to narrow down the choices to just one teacher. Greater Cincinnati is blessed to have many dedicated educators working with our kids every day,” said Gold Star President and CEO Roger David. “Gold Star was pleased to honor Mr. Cannon with the inaugural award. He personifies all that we were looking for. Not only does he go above and beyond for his students, but he seeks to make a lifelong impact on students.” Cannon’ is the basketball coach for Cheviot’s 4th-6th grade boys’ team, which is currently undefeated. Cannon is also the lead representative for Cheviot School’s M.O.R.E group, which stands for “Men of Respect and Education.” Through this program, he has led students to have canned food drives to assist local pantries.

Eastman, a 2008 graduate of Mount St. Joseph University, returns to his alma mater to lead the university’s diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts and oversee Title IX compliance beginning Feb. 10. A native of Lincoln Heights and graduate of Princeton High School, Eastman’s roots run deep in the Cincinnati area, and he is beyond thrilled to return to the community that instilled in him the values Eastman of service and inclusion and the university that inspired his passion for higher education. “I attribute much of who I am today to the community that surrounded me growing up,” Eastman said. “My family, the Lincoln Heights community, and members of the Christ Temple Church in Lockland all played vital roles in guiding and supporting me to become what I am today. It means the world to me to be able to do a job I love, at an institution that’s dear to my heart, and to be close to the community I called home in my youth.” Eastman brings a wealth of experience to the university.
