‘I’m opening up in COVID-19’

When Brooks Fishburn walked outside Tuesday, March 31, the 6-year-old was greeted by an unexpected message that instantly brought a smile to his face. Written in chalk on the concrete walkway to his family’s front door was a note from Brooks’ kindergarten teacher. Amy Clyde did the same for all 23 of her students. “Renae (Brooks’ mom) told me, ‘I’m going to have to waterproof this, Brooks keeps going out to look at it,’” said Clyde, who teaches at Our Lady of the Visitation. “Some of them were shocked that their teacher showed up at their house. “I had one little girl, she ran outside and hugged me so fast. Her mom and I couldn’t stop her. We were like, ‘Oh no, what do we do, this is deﬁ nitely not six feet apart.’ “Another one of my students actually said, ‘It’s like getting mail.’” With the novel coronavirus pandemic forcing schools across the country to move to remote learning, teachers have had to ﬁ nd creative ways to keep in touch. “There’s three of us that teach kindergarten so our entire team we’ve been communicating every day throughout this whole lockdown, staySee SIDEWALK, Page 2A

A note to readers In keeping with best practices that have been put in place across the newspaper industry, the Community Press is phasing out its youth carrier program and replacing it with an adult delivery force. This decision was not made lightly. The tradition of “paper boys” and “paper girls” delivering the newspaper is a nostalgic part of our history. But in the interest of youth safety, we believe it’s the right thing to do. The change will take eﬀ ect with May editions. In the meantime, please continue doing business with your youth carrier and thank them for their dedication and service. We also thank them for bringing you the Community Press each week and being a vital part of our team. Future editions of your newspaper will include a pre-addressed envelope for mailing your subscription payment.

A Cincinnati restaurant opens — yes, opens Sharon Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Monica Williams has had a hard couple of years. First, the self-made woman was moved out of her Just Cookin’ restaurant in the West End in 2018 to make way for FC Cincinnati’s Major League Soccer Stadium. She fought the establishment over the upheaval and landed some startup dollars that she put to immediate use readying a whole new space in Bond Hill. The ribbon-cutting was set for mid-March. The new coronavirus had other plans. You can’t keep a good woman down. Williams opened her doors April 1 at 1144 California Avenue in Bond Hill for carryout only. It’s a plan that’s in sync with Ohio’s stay-at-home order and will put her – and her staﬀ – back to work.

The small seating area she’s created in the new restaurant is surrounded by inspirational quotes and photos of people who inspire her. No one was sitting there when she opened, but Williams was where she was always meant to be, cooking, feeding people, anchoring a community. “I’m opening up in Covid-19,” Williams said. “It’s not the big bang I wanted with door prizes and cupcakes. But no matter what, I have to get out there. I’m still going to do this.” She’ll begin lunch and dinner carryout of her signature soul food, from the new Just Cookin’. Williams grew up in the West End on Cutter Street, in a Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing project. She was always ready to answer the call of her grandmothers who See COOKIN’, Page 2A

needed her to help in the kitchen. She credits that time with keeping her safe from streets that were becoming increasingly violent. Her family was forced to move away during Hope VI, which was supposed to improve housing and allow everyone to return. Many never would return, but Williams and her family did. “Coming back and bringing my business to the West End meant everything to me because I wanted to be an inspiration to some of the youth,” Williams said. “We started seeing a rise in violence in the West End. And I couldn’t wrap my mind around it because that wasn’t the community that I knew.” She was a mail carrier. She worked at Butternut Bakery. She did in-home childcare. And she cooked. Friends and family urged her to open a restaurant. She opened Just Cookin’ in 2012 on 15th Street in the West End, in a small, graﬃ ti-covered building that also housed a church. There was no fancy sign. She focused on the soul food she grew up eating, the kind of soul food her customers grew up eating. “Food was a way for me to connect with my hometown and back into my community,” Williams said. By 2017 Just Cookin’ was thriving, she said. She heard rumors that a stadium would be built, but she was assured she might be able to stay and, at worst, it would mean moving elsewhere in the West End. “I didn’t grasp the fact that we were going to be moving away until actually the shutdown started actually taking place,” Williams said. When her landlord sold the building she and a few others were oﬀ ered $20,000. She said OK. “It’s like your whole life has been snatched away from you,” she said. “Losing so much made cooking that much more personal. It was like I lost everything and, I thought, I can’t lose this.”

Community activist Brian Garry rallied supporters to push FC Cincinnati and City Council members to do more. He watched as Williams laid off staff . He watched as she was forced to take a third-shift job at Kroger to support herself. “I had a very strong feeling in my guts that we had to bring justice because this was so unjust for her,” Garry said. Dozens of people showed up at Cincinnati City Council meetings to speak on Williams’ behalf. Council listened. Williams at fi rst thought she would move elsewhere in the West End or maybe Over-theRhine, but said she quickly found, even with help, there were no places she could aff ord. Enter The Ropers, Gardenia and Jesse, who owned Roper’s Southern Cooking Restaurant. They were looking to retire. “We sat and we talked and I just felt like, ‘This is it,’” Williams said. “Looking at the space, seeing all the equipment that the Ropers had left for me. I knew that with the funds I was given, I can build on it.” She bought it last October. The Ropers left tables and chairs and pots and pans. All the building needed were Williams’ recipes and loving touch. There’s a plan for a food truck too, but not yet, Williams said. She

dreams of turning her enterprise into a place where up-and-coming cooks can hone their craft alongside her. Garry said the new Just Cookin’ will be like the old one. “It’s much more meaningful and much deeper than simply going to get something to eat,” Garry said. “It’s about community.” Cincinnati City Councilman Greg Landsman, who pushed to get Williams city help, said Williams, “pushed through every obstacle, overcame every disadvantage, and never ever gave up. Hers is a story of deep belief, perseverance and the power of hope and optimism, and it could not have come at a better time.” For the new Bond Hill restaurant Williams lured her whole team back. “We’re excited to get everybody back, plus some,” Williams said. “So that’s amazing.” It was hard, but Williams says she grateful for what she sees as a better future. She rattles off thanks to Garry, city council members, West End activists and FC Cincinnati President Jeff Berding. Opening day was bittersweet, she said. It’s not in her beloved West End. But it’s hers and it will be special in its own way. “This is a new beginning and I’m all for new beginnings,” Williams said.

Construction still continues on music venues and FCC stadium Scott Wartman and Sharon Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Concerts and sporting events have stopped but not the construction of the two music venues along the Ohio River and FC Cincinnati’s stadium. Despite the pandemic, county offi cials and developers said construction both projects are still ongoing, as is the apartment complex at Fourth and Race streets. Construction is considered an essential business and exempt from the orders from Ohio and Kentucky’s governors. The music venues being built across from each other on the riverfronts of Newport and Cincinnati are neck-andneck in terms of progress. The builders hope to open the $27 million venue, dubbed the Andrew J. Brady ICON Music Center, in the shadow of Paul Brown Stadium sometime late fall. Newport’s $23 million music venue, Ovation Pavilion, is targeted March 2021 to open on the long-awaited Ovation property at the confl uence of the Licking and Ohio rivers. Competition among the venues is expected to be fi erce, with the Cincinnati one being built by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra’s music promotion wing, Music and Events Management, Inc.(MEMI), and the Newport one being built by Columbus-based PromoWest. They’re roughly the same size and both have indoor and outdoor stages. The ICON music center will fi t 4,500 people indoors and 8,000 outdoors. Ovation Pavilion will have room for 2,800 indoors and 7,000 outdoors. The concrete for the fi rst-level fl oors where concertgoers will stand have been poured for both venues. In fact, the fl oor of the fi rst level of the music venue at The Banks by Paul Brown Stadium was scheduled to be fi nished March 25, said Mike Smith, president of MEMI. “If you were to go down there and you were to stand on that slab, that is where

Construction crews work on the new music venue that's part of Ovation development in Newport. It will include parking, an indoor and outdoor music venue and at least two hotels.

patrons would stand on the fi rst level looking at the stage,” Smith said. Smith wouldn’t say a specifi c month they plan on opening. The CSO’s venue is already fi nanced thanks to some large, anonymous donations, Smith said. The garages underneath both concert halls are still under construction. Hamilton County is building the garage for Cincinnati’s music venue and has completed the portion directly underneath the venue, Smith said. The county is now working on the garage that will go underneath the lawn that will serve as the audience space for outdoor concerts. “I don’t see us halting any major construction projects we’re doing,” said Hamilton County Administrator Jeff

Aluotto. Both venues will start going up vertically in April. The owners haven’t started booking acts for new facilities. They hope to start this summer. No one knows what world and economy these venues will open to. PromoWest CEO Scott Stienecker said people will either be “chomping at the bit to get out” or will be concerned about their wallet. The shows PromoWest and MEMI have booked in their current venues through May have been postponed to the summer and fall. PromoWest operates venues in Columbus and Pittsburgh. MEMI manages Riverbend, PNC Pavilion, Taft Theater and Rose Music Center in Huber Heights.

“What’s going to happen?” Smith said. “Nobody knows. You just have to put one foot in front of the other.” What about other large projects in the county? Still a go. FC Cincinnati’s stadium in the West End is ongoing, the team’s communications director Lizz Summers told The Enquirer. The 26,000-seat soccer stadium is set to open in March 2021. The team declined further comment. The 264-unit apartment complex at Fourth and Race streets is also ongoing, said Joe Rudemiller, spokesman for the project coordinator, 3CDC.

Cincinnati Steam suspends summer season Alex Harrison Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Cincinnati Steam of the Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League announced it would suspend its upcoming summer baseball season. The season would have been the 15th season for the wood bat baseball team consisting of collegiate players, many who once starred at local high schools. The baseball club gave its reasoning for calling the season in an announcement on Facebook. “Our league expands across Ohio, into eastern Indiana, the State of Michigan and across the border to Canada. Our normal two-month (June and July) playing season will be aﬀ ected. To what extent is unknown but, in our minds, playing 6-8 weeks, putting our host families into a situation of housing young men from other states, our players’ parents having to decide whether or

not to send their son away, asking any one person, family or businesses for a dime during this economic uncertainty and potential crisis would be foolish and very, very narrow-minded and shortsighted,” according to the team announcement. The GLSCL includes 12 teams, nine of which play in Ohio, along with one each in Michigan, Indiana and Canada. The Steam was scheduled to begin the season at home against the Hamilton Joes on June 5 and was to have a doubleheader June 25 against the Canadian team, the St. Clair Green Giants. Cincinnati had a roster constructed that included baseball players from Indiana University, Wright State University, University of Cincinnati and the University of New Mexico among others. No other team in the league made the decision to suspend the season.

Green Township ice cream stand Zip Dip closes due to virus Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

After 70 years of summers, Zip Dip announced March 31 it would close for the foreseeable future due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. The Green Township ice cream stand is a seasonal business. It opened this year March 6. Business seemed to be going well. The owners reported on Facebook that they were having trouble keeping enough ice cream in stock. “We are sorry that we were not able to remain open during this time, but enforcing social distancing with our customers has proved to be too hard and not worth the ﬁ ght or the risk,” the busi-

ness posted on Facebook Tuesday. As a food service business without a dine-in kitchen, Zip Dip is not subject to closure due to Gov. Mike DeWine’s orders for non-essential business to close. “You may see the boards go back up on our building, but that doesn’t mean they won’t come back down again. And when we do return, we hope that it’s given us all some time to reﬂ ect on what it may have been like when Zip Dip was ﬁ rst built.” “A time when there were no cell phones or social media. A time when family would say grace and eat dinner together around a table without a TV being on. A time when playing outside was a primary form of entertainment... A time when families took the time to pray

before bedtime. And most importantly, a time when no one was a stranger and everyone was treated like a neighbor.” Zip Dip remained open until 9 p.m. Tuesday, March 31. “Growing up In Green Township our residents have witnessed the opening of Zip Dip along with the arrival of Spring weather,” said David Linnenberg, Chairman of the Green Township Board of Trustees. “I commend Zip Dip ownership for looking out for their customers. Green Township looks forward to the boards coming down when the restrictions are lifted.” The Facebook post was widely shared, getting reactions from over 300 people within an hour.

A West End man was arrested Wednesday, April 1 after police said he shot his child’s mother and robbed a man he pretended to want to buy to a dog from, among other crimes. Aaron Williams, 25, has been charged in two shootings, a robbery and burglary that occurred within the span of eight days last month. On March 24, police said Williams ﬁ red four shots at Ronnice Foster who was running away from him in Avondale on Burton Street. She was uninjured, according to court documents. On March 28, WilWilliams liams went to meet Lonnie Lee about trading for a dog Lee owned, police said. Court document state Williams robbed Lee at gunpoint. On March 31, investigators said Williams forced his way into a Millvale apartment where only a 10-year-old girl was home. Police said he stole a PlayStation 4 and three handbags. That same day, Williams shot the mother of his child in the back of the leg near his own home on Dayton Street, according to court documents. Williams is charged with two counts of felonious assault, aggravated robbery and burglary, all felonies. He was being held at the Hamilton County Justice Center on a $1 million bond when this article was originally published – April 2.

A call to action to combat COVID-19 Steve Chabot Guest Columnist Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Throughout Ohio, many businesses are making responsible, but painful decisions to close their doors in an eff ort to help stop the spread of COVID-19, or the new coronavirus. The COVID-19 pandemic is having devastating fi nancial consequences on those businesses and their workers. Too many people have lost their jobs or have been furloughed, and are now facing increasingly dire personal fi nancial situations. As the current ranking member and former chairman of the House Small Business Committee, it pains me to see so many people and businesses struggling throughout our communities. That’s why in Congress we passed legislation recently that will provide immediate relief to small businesses and every day Ohioans aff ected by the coronavirus crisis. This legislative relief will swiftly send checks (depending on income) to U.S. citizens, and provide fi nancial assistance for small businesses so they don’t close down permanently. Democratic Chairwoman Nydia Ve-

lazquez and I have worked with our counterparts in the Senate to ensure that small businesses, and not just large corporations, will receive substantial assistance from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act. Because of that bipartisan work, small businesses across the country will be eligible for generous, low-interest loans, which are forgivable, as long as the money goes for such things as employee payroll, rent, utilities, and interest on mortgage payments. In our nation’s eff orts to combat this epidemic, one particular concern is the need for increasing the supply of personal protection equipment (PPE) for health care workers, and ventilators for patients who will need them for their very survival. I, along with six Republican members of Congress, and seven Democrats, introduced a resolution urging the Trump administration to utilize the Defense Production Act to produce these life-saving items as expeditiously as possible. The Defense Production Act was fi rst used during the Korean War, as well as during the Iraq war, the 2008-09 economic meltdown, and again during the 2017 hurricane in Puerto Rico. Already, we’ve seen tech companies, typically fi erce competitors, coming to-

gether to fi ght this disease. Google has launched a website touted by President Trump that provides state resources, safety, and prevention tips relating to COVID-19. The company is also off ering technology resources to businesses across the country. Others are doing their part as well. Zoom is helping people stay socially connected. Facebook is off ering $100 million in small business grants. And companies such as Tesla, Ford, and General Motors are exploring their capacity to manufacture ventilators to relieve any potential shortage. Going forward, we must also take every precaution to see that the United States is best positioned to avoid potential pandemics in the future. Again, in a bipartisan eff ort, Congressman Gerry Connolly of Virginia and I introduced the Global Health Security Act (H.R. 2166) which would elevate health security as a global priority. The bill passed by an overwhelmingly bipartisan vote in the House Foreign Aff airs Committee, and would signifi cantly help prevent infectious diseases, like the coronavirus, from spreading from other countries to the United States. This crisis has presented Ohioans and companies, both big and small, with un-

precedented challenges, that must be taken seriously. Based on our current knowledge of the coronavirus, it appears that many people who contract the disease will recover with minimal complications, and some may not even show symptoms. However, the elderly and those with underlying health conditions, are vulnerable to serious illness or death. Thus, we must unite as a nation to take the necessary precautions to ensure that the virus does not spread. Unfortunately, there is no silver bullet to this problem. Mitigating the impact of COVID-19 will require legislative relief, social distancing, economic stimulus, new technologies, and the minds of our best scientists to produce a vaccine and a treatment. We all have a role to play in protecting those that are most susceptible to the virus. We are all in this together, but I have no doubt that we will recover and thrive as a nation united. Congressman Steve Chabot, R-Westwood, represents Ohio’s 1st District in the United States House of Representatives and is the ranking member of the House Committee on Small Business.

How to donate meals to hospital workers Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Following news on the overwhelming number of COVID-19 cases and their impact on New York hospitals from her home in Loveland, a former bedside nurse is worried for the well-being of health care workers in Greater Cincinnati. “These nurses aren’t going to stop taking care of patients to take care of themselves,” she said. Alicia Scheff er, 38, is a certifi ed nurse practitioner and currently works as a hospitalist for Sound Physicians. Scheff er started a GoFundMe on March 23 – https://www.gofundme. com/f/feed-the-frontlines – hoping the

community would come together to “take care of the only people equipped to take care of us.” Scheff er believes Cincinnati is just about a week behind New York’s trend. A state-by-state outlook posted by USA Today shows how the exponential growth of the new coronavirus poses potential risks for large outbreaks nationwide. To prepare for what could be a crisis here in Ohio, Scheff er got to work in her neighborhood, providing snacks for nurses at local hospitals. She thought back to her nursing days. “What were the things that we didn’t do? Well, we didn’t eat, we didn’t take bathroom breaks… what would be nice ways to kind of off set some of the chaos and

maybe show some community support?” Scheff er said. Scheff er got the fundraising idea from her friend and fellow healthcare professional Whitney Whitis, who started a COVID-19 Nursing Support GoFundMe. That campaign raised over $8,000 in two days. Restaurant owner Zach Weprin from Fusian donated gift cards, according to the site. The top priority for now is to get meals to the hospital workers, Scheff er told The Enquirer on March 25. Eventually, the money may go towards housing for nurses and other hospital employees who don’t want to risk the potential of bringing the new virus home to their families. Scheff er said she has reached out to local hotels and

Airbnbs with no response. Scheff er’s campaign is still in its infancy stage, she said. “It went from feeding, to maybe housing, to who knows what the demand is? But maybe off ering the public an opportunity to help where they feel like there’s nothing they can do,” Scheff er said. Other community groups have started sewing masks at home to donate. You can donate to help feed (and potentially house) local healthcare employees on the GoFundMe site. Scheff er is also looking for support and donations from local businesses.

Celebrate Easter with coﬀ ee cake, deviled eggs A cinnamon coffee cake is a perfect treat for Easter.

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

PHOTOS BY RITA HEIKENFELD

As I write this column, we are still sheltering in place. And thinking about Easter. Maybe you are, too. Instead of our annual Easter brunch and egg hunt, we’ll be celebrating on a smaller scale. Yet there’s still much to feel blessed about. Just take a walk outside. Check out the beautiful wild violets and blooming forsythia (they both make lovely jellies). Trees are bursting with buds and blooms. Reconnect. You know, friends and family are still there, and now’s the time for catch up. I worked several hours in my herb garden and was happy to see my mom’s heirloom peppermint pushing through the soil. Mother Nature is doing her part and we will do ours. How about baking a coﬀ ee cake? While you’re boiling eggs to color, boil extra. Add deviled eggs to your Easter menu. Both recipes use easy to ﬁ nd ingredients.

Coffee cake with pecan cinnamon streusel America’s Test Kitchen always comes up with genius ideas, like adding a little water to streusel topping and sprinkling it on the edges ﬁ rst to make it adhere better.

1 teaspoon cinnamon

This uses the food processor for both cake and topping. It’s baked in a 9” springform pan and freezes well. Here’s my slight adaptation from their recipe.

1 2⁄ 3 cups flour

INGREDIENTS

Deviled eggs add a festive touch to any occasion.

Simple deviled eggs No real recipe, but for every 6 eggs, mix yolks with 1⁄ 4 cup mayonnaise and a squirt of mustard. Add more mayonnaise if necessary. Season to taste.

Streusel 1 cup pecans or other nuts, toasted (if you’re out, omit and then when cake cools, drizzle a powdered sugar glaze over streusel) ⁄ 3 cup packed brown sugar

⁄ 2cup flour

4 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled 1 teaspoon water Cake 1 cup sugar 1 1⁄ 2 teaspoons cinnamon 1 teaspoon baking powder ⁄ 2 teaspoon baking soda

⁄ 2 teaspoon salt

1 stick butter, cut into 8 pieces and softened ⁄ 4 cup milk

1 large egg plus 1 large yolk 2 teaspoons vanilla INSTRUCTIONS Preheat oven to 350.

Grease and flour 9” springform pan and place on baking sheet. Streusel Process nuts and sugar in food processor until ﬁ nely ground. Add flour and cinnamon and pulse to combine. Add melted butter and water and pulse until mixture begins to form clumps. Remove and set aside. Cake Process flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, soda and salt until combined. Add butter and pulse until very small but visible pieces of butter remain. Add milk, egg, yolk and vanilla. Pulse until dry ingredients are moistened.

Scrape sides. Pulse until mixture is well combined — some small pieces of butter will remain. Pour into pan and smooth top. Starting at edges of pan, sprinkle streusel evenly over batter. Bake until center is ﬁ rm and skewer inserted into it comes out clean, 45-50 minutes or so. Place on wire rack, cool 15 minutes, then remove ring and cool completely. Transfer cake to platter, cut into wedges and serve. No springform pan? Use a 9” cake pan and leave in pan to serve.

In Jack Kuzniczci’s hypothetical All-Cincinnati team, Pete Rose would play left ﬁ eld on the West side squad. AP

All-Cincinnati MLB teams: Which side is the best side? Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Playing left ﬁ eld on the All-Cincinnati East Major League Baseball squad would be Andrew Benintendi. ELISE AMENDOLA/AP

Baseball aﬁ cionado and Boston Red Sox star Andrew Benintendi’s high school coach Jack Kuzniczci spent some recent new coronavirus quarantine time considering who might be on an AllCincinnati East vs. West Major League Baseball squad. He posted his thoughts on Facebook and tons of comments soon followed. Kuzniczci, a solid player in his own day for Anderson, the University of Cincinnati and in the Montreal Expos organization, has been the head coach at Clermont Northeastern, 1999 state champion Madeira and is currently at Walnut Hills. “There’s still people commenting on it,” Kuzniczci said. “It was kind of fun. At ﬁ rst, it was an All-Cincinnati team, then I made it East and West.” “When I was growing up, I always heard the best baseball in Cincinnati was played on the West Side of town. Being an East-Sider, that always drove

me crazy,” he said in the post. “So now we will have our All-East-Side team and All-West-Side team and then we can continue to disagree.” The essential part of Kuzniczci’s criteria was that the players had to have played in Major League Baseball. Here’s what they came up with:

West Side Catcher: Kyle Schwarber, Middletown - From high school, Schwarber played at Indiana where he was drafted by the Chicago Cubs. Last season was his best with 38 home runs, 92 runs batted in and a .250 average. Is Middletown west? Well, who else do you have? First baseman: Jim Tracy, Badin Again, perhaps a bit north. Tracy might be better known as a manager having led the Dodgers, Pirates and Rockies. He was National League Manager of the Year with Colorado in 2009. Tracy was a Division III All-American at Marietta See ALL STARS , Page 2B

Enquirer’s greatest all-time prep volleyball teams Mark Schmetzer

Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

In the spirit of the recent “Jeopardy” Greatest Of All Time prime-time, multinight tournament featuring the popular game show’s top three all-time winners, the Enquirer and Cincinnati.com are embarking on a GOAT series of their own. We are endeavoring to identify the best of Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky’s best – the all-time top 10 state championship teams from our little corner of the world. We’re leading oﬀ with volleyball. We, of course, plan to check out other sports – football, boys and girls basketball, baseball, at least. Unfortunately, some sports haven’t reached the magic num-

ber of state championship teams, but we’ll have enough to keep us busy for a while. Our top 10 state championship volleyball teams, starting with:

No. 10 – 1984 Notre Dame Academy Six teams qualifi ed for the Kentucky High School Athletic Association state tournament. They were split into two three-team pools. Highlands and Mercy qualifi ed out of Pool One. All three Pool Two teams fi nished 1-1, but Notre Dame drew a bye in the playoff and then knocked off survivor to earn the higher fi nal four seed.

rah Dickman, the Joan Mazzarocoached Pandas blew through the semifi nals and fi nals, knocking off Highlands, 15-2, 15-3, in one semifi nal and Mercy, 15-6, 15-11 in the championship match.

No. 9 – 2017 Ursuline Academy The Lions went into the state tournament ranked No. 1 in the statewide volleyball coaches association Division I coaches poll, but they needed the maximum fi ve games to get past No. 4 Dublin Coff man before romping to a threegame win over sixth-ranked Cleveland St. Joseph Academy at Wright State University’s Ervin J. Nutter Center. Senior Ali Thompson and sophomore Logan Case were named fi rst-team all-state. Maggie Huber earned second-team honors while helping Ursuline fi nish 28-1.

No. 8 – 2001 Roger Bacon The Spartans shook off back-to-back Division II runner-up fi nishes to fi nally knock off two-time defending-champion Galion 15-8, 15-5 in the championship match at Wright State. Coached by Caryl Schawe, Roger Bacon fi nished 29-1 after walloping Millersburg West Holmes 15-9, 15-5, in the semifi nals, never trailing in the fi rst game in the fi rst game of the championship match and trailing just 2-0 in the second game. Setter Emily Withers played a key role in setting up front-liner Mary Brunner and Brittany Holden.

No. 7 – 2009 Ursuline Academy The Lions, who were undefeated the previous season before losing the Division I state championship match, dropped just one game in the best-offi ve Division I championship match before completing a 29-0 season with a 25-16, 25-19, 18-25, 25-17 win over Dublin Coff man at Wright State. Ursuline, ranked No. 1 in the statewide coaches’ association Division I poll, beat Rocky River Magnifi cat in three games in the semifi nals.

team all-state and junior Kori Moster earned second-team honors.

No. 6 – 2005 Roger Bacon Led by a talented and deep front line, the Spartans lost just eight games during a 29-0 season they completed with a 25-14, 25-15, 25-14 Division II state semiﬁ nal win over River View and a 25-12, 24-26, 25-21, 25-16 championshipmatch win over Walsh Jesuit. Two seniors, middle hitter Heather Hausfeld and setter Katie Veatch, were named ﬁ rst-team all-state. Classmate Jaime Frey made the third team.

No. 5 – 1980 Villa Madonna Then nicknamed the Blue Lightning, Carla Austin-coached Villa Madonna may have set the local single-season record for match wins with 39 on the way to winning the all-inclusive Kentucky state championship. One of the team’s two losses was to a Mother of Mercy team that would win the Ohio Class AAA (big school) state championship. Four players – Lori Erpenbeck, Fredda Simpson, Lisa Warman and Stephanie Scheper – went on to play Division I volleyball after rolling over Our Lady of Providence, 15-4, 15-1, in the state championship match.

All stars

After playing on three of the fi rst four Saints’ state-championship teams, Sue Fishburn coached this edition to a 29-0 record, culminating in a 15-8, 15-7 win over Wooster in the Division I state semifi nals and a 15-8, 15-6 win over Elyria in the fi nal, two weeks before her wedding. Led by juniors Sara Bachus and Betsy Owens, Seton won the last 21 points of the fi rst game and the fi rst 11 of the second during the championship match.

No. 3 – 2003 St. Ursula The Bulldogs went 29-0 on the way to winning the Division I state championship and being named the nation’s No 1 team by PrepVolleyball.com. Coach Julie Perry’s squad also topped the coaches’ Division I statewide poll ahead of No. 3 Ursuline and fourth-ranked Mount Notre Dame. Led by fi rst-team all-staters Beth Gillming and Bryn Kehoe and second-team pick Beth Shelton, St. Ursula got past second-ranked Toledo St. Ursula, 15-10, 12-15, 15-12 in the semifi nals before rolling over Ursuline, 15-10, 15-7, in the championship match. This was the third straight year the Bulldogs and Lions met in the fi nal.

No. 2 – 1985 Seton

ston managed the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers from 1954-1975 through a series of 23 one-year contracts. He won four World Series titles. Now Darrtown is near Oxford, so West or no? For those opposed, there’s Jim Frey of Western Hills, who managed the Royals to the ALCS and later the Cubs to the NLCS. He also went on to be the Cubs general manager hiring former West High teammate Don Zimmer.

and played parts of two seasons with the Cubs in 1980-81. He was primarily an outfi elder, but you could interchange him with outfi elders Rose and Parker on this list at fi rst base to fi eld a team. Second baseman: Bill Doran, Mount Healthy - From the Owls to Miami University, Doran played second for the Houston Astros, the Reds and Brewers between 1982-1993. Doran hit 16 homers and drove in 79 runs hitting .283 for Houston in 1987. In 1990, he split time between the Astros and Reds and had a combined average of .300 (.373 with the Reds). He was part of the Reds World Series champions but unable to play in the postseason after he was acquired after the deadline. Shortstop: Eddie Brinkman, Western Hills - From the Mustangs and UC, Brinkman played 15 seasons for the Washington Senators, Tigers, Cardinals, Rangers and Yankees. His brother Chuck Brinkman was a West High catcher who played in the bigs between 1969 and 1974 for the Pirates and White Sox should one geographically eliminate Kyle Schwarber (above). Eddie Brinkman was known more for his glove but had a high average of .266 in 1969 for Washington and slugged 14 homers for the Tigers in 1974. Third baseman: Don Zimmer, Western Hills - “Popeye” was involved in professional baseball for 65 years as a player, manager and coach. He managed the Padres, Red Sox, Rangers and Cubs. He played in 12 seasons and played in the World Series for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1955 and 1959. He was a National League All-Star in 1961. Left fi elder: Pete Rose, Western Hills - A easy choice for any Cincinnatian. Rose played from 1963 to 1986, primarily with the Reds but with a stint in Philadelphia and a brief split season with Montreal. Among his records are his 4,256 career hits. Rose was a 17-time All-Star, a National League MVP, World Series MVP, NL Rookie of the Year, three-time NL batting champion and two-time Gold Glove winner. He played on three World Series champions and holds MLB records in hits, singles, games played, at-bats and plate appearances. He also managed the Reds from 1984 to 1989.

Osteen won 20 games for the Dodgers in 1969 and again in 1972. Is Reading West or East? That’s one of the questions Kuzniczci ﬁ elded. Manager: Walter Alston, Darrtown, Milford Township High School - Al-

Catcher: Jim Leyritz, Turpin - An 11year major league player with the Yankees, Angels, Rangers, Red Sox, Padres and Dodgers, Leyritz played on two World Series champions (both Yankees). He was considered one of baseball’s best postseason hitters. His highest average was .309 for the Yankees in 1993 and he hit a career-high 17 homers for the Bronx Bombers in 1994. First baseman: Kevin Youkilis, Sycamore - From the University of Cincinnati, Youkilis took his unique batting stance to the Boston Red Sox ﬁ rst. He later played for the White Sox and Yankees. He was a three-time All-Star, a Gold Glove winner and a two-time World Series champion with Boston winning in 2004 and 2007. Though Jewish, he was coined “The Greek God of Walks” in the book “Moneyball,” which later became a movie. His best season was 2008 when he hit .312 with 29 homers and 115 RBI for Boston. Second baseman: Ron Oester, Withrow - Oester played from 1978 through 1990 all with the Cincinnati Reds wrapping up his career with a World Series title.

Larkin was a 12-time All-Star, NL MVP, three-time Gold Glove winner, ninetime Silver Slugger winner and inducted into Cooperstown in 2012. His .319 average in his MVP year of 1995 was his best. The following year he had career-highs in home runs and RBI with 33 and 89, respectively. Third baseman: Buddy Bell, Moeller - He used to be known as the son of former Red Gus Bell, but now may be known more as the father of Reds manager David Bell. From 1972 -1999 Bell

Coached by Mary Jett, the Saints lost just two games all year while going 30-0. They swept the Class AAA regional in four games and kept the momentum alive at the state tournament, beating 21-1 Lexington, 15-4, 15-2, in the semifi nals and 27-2 Canton McKinley, 15-4, 15-4 in the fi nal. First-team all-stater Barb Mannix led a powerful front line that included junior Ann Fishburn and sophomore Janet Haneberg. The Saints needed just 12 minutes to win the fi nal game.

No. 1 – 1986 Seton The name was changed, but the result was the same. Coached by the nowMary Ritter and led by veterans such as Haneberg and Ann Fishburn, the Saints rolled to their third straight Class AAA state championship with a 15-7, 15-9 win over Broadview Heights Brecksville in the Class AAA state semiﬁ nals and a slightly narrower 15-10, 15-11 win over Stow in the championship match. Seton prevailed despite having a well-deﬁ ned target on its back. “This one feels better than last year,” Ritter said. “This year, we had to work up here. It was harder up here this year. Volleyball was better here today. You can tell the girls each year have had a little bit more experience.” “I guess I was born at the right time and the right place to be here and to do it,” senior Julie Royer said. “There is a lot of pressure. Everybody is up for you, and everybody is out to beat you, and that means you have to come out and play very well every time.”

played for the Indians, Rangers, Reds and Astros. He was a fi ve-time All-Star, six-time Gold Glove winner, a Silver Slugger winner and also managed the Tigers, Rockies and Royals. Bell hit .329 for the Rangers in 1980 and belted a career-high 20 homers for the Reds in 1986. Left fi elder: Andrew Benintendi After signing with Arkansas out of Madeira, where he won the Golden Spikes Award and Dick Howser Award as college baseball’s best player in 2015, he was drafted in the fi rst round by Boston.

In 1984, Dotson played in the AllStar Game at Candlestick Park. Manager: Miller Huggins, Walnut Hills, Woodward - Huggins is another Baseball Hall of Fame member who managed the Cardinals and Yankees.

Senior Day door displays catching on take zero credit for it. This team is comprised of hardworking, kind and compassionate people who care about me, each other and our customers. In that moment, hearing this team laughing, while chatting sitting on their cars, forced to keep six feet between them was like a breath of fresh air! I had missed them! I needed them! I am grateful for them! They did more than support me ﬁ nancially that day!” The store had a woman dressed as Elsa from “Frozen” entertaining visitors earlier this week.

Housebound by Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine’s “Stay at Home” restrictions, high school senior athletes can now be honored right at their front door. No, there’s not a door-to-door committee to salute your senior’s accomplishments, but no one’s stopping you from decorating the entrance of your home with your senior memories. Wilmington High School athletic trainer Kelli Veidt, whose senior daughter plays on the Hurricane softball team, originally got the idea on Pinterest. She thought working at the high school and her contacts could help it catch fi re. “I went ahead and did my daughter’s fi rst, then I posted it,” Veidt said. “Everybody else just followed along. It’s something simple and it’s something that most people have at home. It’s not anything that people have to go out and buy. Whether it’s a jacket or uniform, there’s some way to showcase your kid.” It has since taken off with Wilmington athletic director Troy Diels asking each senior to tag him on Twitter for each display. “She tweeted it at me and it kind of snowballed from there,” Diels said of the idea. “From there we put out the request to have parents tag us in it. We’re looking for any chance we can get to recognize these kids right now.” Following suit, Loveland principal Peggy Johnson has also seen the idea and urged her seniors to hang their memories at the doorstep as well. “That was my goal,” Veidt said of the trend catching on with others. Here are more stories of kindness and levity displayed as Greater Cincinnatians cope with the new coronavirus pandemic:

They came, purchased full-price drinks (abstaining from the staff discounts) and retail products. They bought drinks for their families, coworkers and more. They did so while prioritizing social distancing, inside and outside of the store, the store said. “I can not explain how much this selfl ess act of kindness meant to me,” Stepanek said on Facebook. “I

Ms. Jennings’ Concert Choir Class on Google Hangouts. The image of the SUA Chapel is behind each of the students since this is the location the class usually meets. PROVIDED

SUA students and teachers work to master distance learning March 30, 2020– Saint Ursula Academy is moving fKull steam ahead with its school year, getting creative to overcome the academic challenges presented by the COVID-19 crisis. Saint Ursula’s advanced One-to-One Laptop Program left the school well-positioned to transition quickly and seamlessly to Distance Learning. Here are some key reasons: ❚ The structure was already in place to move forward quickly. ❚ All students have the same type of device and the same programs and tech support. ❚ Our technology department is working to support the students and

faculty/staff with any tech needs they may have, ensuring everyone can access lectures, discussions, creative tools, and can turn in work with no problems. ❚ Students and teachers already have a high level of comfort with their device and how to use it to participate in classes remotely. ❚ Saint Ursula’s block schedule means each student has just four classes during this time, making it easier for students to not get overwhelmed with too many remote lessons and check-ins. ❚ SUA teachers have embraced that challenge and are coming up with creative ways to teach their lessons. ❚ The students remotely “attend” two of their classes each day, and teachers have “offi ce hours” to off er support ev-

ery day. “Our leadership team, faculty, and staﬀ all worked together to make it a smooth transition to Distance Learning and this has given Saint Ursula students an edge,” said Dr. Mari Thomas, Saint Ursula Academy principal. “While we are not together physically, SUA is holding live and recorded online classes and our one-to-one program has put us at the front of the pack on Distance Learning.” Daily schedule – How it works Daily, there are recorded “announcements” and a daily opening prayer before class time. Then, the students “check in” to their ﬁ rst class each day online. Many SUA educators are teaching their classes live, and students are able to ask questions and talk to their

classmates about the material during the lesson. Teachers are also available after class time for students to get help through a virtual “face-to-face” meeting. Ensuring every student can connect SUA worked to secure dependable wi-ﬁ for every student who did not already have a good connection with the help of Spectrum Free Student Wi-Fi and digital hotspots.

Gyms are closed. Now what? Here are some ideas on how to stay fi t You’ll fi nd professional quality and instruction here. Many fi tness centers like Planet Fitness and Fitness Marshall are doing Facebook Live online videos. Did you know you can fi nd loads of free fi tness instruction from the library? If you’ve got a library card, you can stream a number of exercise programs via the library’s Hoopla service. We found 80 streaming workouts for yoga alone! Hoopla’s interface is a little clunky, but just type an interest into the search bar, then click on format and fi lter for “television.” hoopladigital.com.

Luann Gibbs Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

From restaurants and bars to schools and libraries, it seems everything is closing in response to the growing novel coronavirus pandemic. Now add ﬁ tness centers and gyms to the growing list. Staying active during this crazy time is more important than ever to our physical and mental health. Here are a few ways to keep ﬁ t without the gym.

1. Run, walk or bike outside This one’s pretty simple and something you’re probably already familiar with. Put on your running (or walking) shoes and hit the pavement. Whether you head to a designated trail or just circle a few blocks of your neighborhood, getting some fresh air and Vitamin D can do wonders for both mind and body. Great Parks of Hamilton County remain open for passive recreation like hiking, private boat access and ﬁ shing access. The agency is also waiving its Motor Vehicle Permit to make the parks more accessible for outdoor enjoyment. Just be sure to keep your distance if you meet others on the trails – Mayor Cranley says citizens should keep at least six feet apart in public. Indoors, try to utilize stairs whenever possible for a short burst of cardio. Every little bit helps.

3. Get creative about free weights

Push the ottoman aside and roll out your yoga mat or towel in front of the television for a guided workout from any number of online fi tness sources. YouTube is by far the largest generator of fi tness channels, but that also means there’s a lot of junk. A few of the most popular channels are HASfi t, POPSUGAR Fitness, Fitness Blender, BeFit and Leslie Sansone’s Walk at Home. You can also fi nd more than 250

health and wellness channels on Roku. While some are fee-based channels, you can fi nd some pretty good ones for free, too. Home-based Workout Channel is a seven-day video series targeting a different muscle group each day. It’s got good instruction, but the camera work isn’t great. Get Healthy U TV off ers a variety of free 10-minute workouts and has a more professional look to it, and FitNation’s Fit At Any Age series off ers a variety of exercises that focus on specific areas of the body or a specifi c routine.

If you usually rely on your gym’s dumbbells , it’s time to get a little creative. Water bottles and cans of beans or soup are a great replacement for 1pound dumbbells. Put rubber bands around the cans or bottles for a better grip. Bags of onions, potatoes or citrus also work well in the 3-5 pound range. Don’t discard used laundry detergent bottles. The average 72-ounce bottle weighs about fi ve pounds, making it a good choice for lifting. Just make sure it’s rinsed out, then refi ll with water. Added bonus: comfortable handles! For heavier lifting, 160-ounce bottles can be substituted for 10-pound dumbbells. Gallon milk jugs can perform a similar duty in the eight-pound range. Remember to fi nish the contents before you repurpose the jugs. Spoiled milk is icky.

the best academic experience possible during this time. Campus safety As always, safety for our school community is a top priority. While the SUA campus is closed by the Governor’s Stay at Home order, the SUA Maintenance staﬀ is still working on campus as essential workers and disinfecting the buildings daily. Saint Ursula Academy

will be ready when the Governor indicates we can return to campus and the students will be on track with their 4th quarter learning. Saint Ursula Academy is a Catholic, college-preparatory, secondary school for young women known for academic excellence and rich tradition. Saint Ursula welcomes students from more than 90 grade schools in the Greater Cincin-

nati area. The Academy is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a Blue Ribbon School. The campus, located at 1339 E. McMillan Street in East Walnut Hills has been the home of Saint Ursula Academy and Convent since 1910. The Class of 2019 earned college scholarships totaling more than $25million.
