Wish List: Infant with genetic disorder needs therapeutic help Byron McCauley Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
The Enquirer and United Way of Greater Cincinnati have joined forces for the 32nd year to promote the Wish List giving season, assisting families in need. Today, we share the story of E’Yon Rankins. Who is in need? E’Yon Rankins, 2, is reclining in a car seat on the living room floor of the apartment he shares with his mom, Danyell Higgins, and his 7-year-old sister, Milli. He is wearing a diaper and a pair of glasses. Today, he is running a fever. Tomorrow, it could easily be something else. A feeding tube is protruding from his left nostril. Milli sat beside her little brother and ate her lunch. E’Yon suffers from a genetic disorder called Phelan-McDermid Syndrome, which is so rare that only 1,700 people in the world have it. The condition causes E’Yon to have complex special needs related to low muscle tone, feeding difficulties, impaired mobility and activities of daily living, functional visual impairment and difficulties with speech. What life challenges are they overcoming? Higgins has never been able to work outside the home since E’Yon was born because she is his main caregiver. There are minimal to no childcare options to meet his complex special needs. Higgins said all but $100 of her income goes toward housing. “As a mom and as a woman, you want to try to

Hundreds of people turned out in the West End to help break ground on FC Cincinnati’s new stadium in the West End. There was pomp. There were speeches. There were miniature shovels for anyone who wanted to turn a piece of dirt themselves. But there were also questions. And behind the scenes, lingering tensions. Will FC Cincinnati secure all the land it needs? It hasn’t yet. Where will fans park once the stadium is built? Where should Hamilton County build a promised garage? Should the team pay the full $1.6 million appraised value for city-owned land it wants? FC Cincinnati team officials say city and county leaders aren’t keeping promises made to the team, while city and county officials say they are just looking out for taxpayers’ best interests. With so much unresolved, Cincinnati’s planning commission hasn’t yet signed off on the stadium. Make no mistake though, these matters must be settled before March 1, when the stadium’s foundation is set to be poured. Any delay beyond that and there’s a risk that the stadium won’t be done in time for the 2021 soccer season, when the team’s lease on Nippert Stadium runs out. Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber said FC Cincinnati’s stadium project is one of the quickest and See STADIUM, Page 1A

I have a lot of family (members), but my support is really, really small,” she said. “Just other people out there just reaching out and taking time out of their hard-earned days – to even listen – is a blessing to me right now.” Higgins said she had a healthy pregnancy. Prenatal tests offered no clues, but doctors knew something was wrong with E’Yon at birth. E’Yon has had frequent hospital visits since birth.

most streamlined he’s seen come to fruition. But, he added, building stadiums is difficult and parking is an important piece. “I mean, it’s not just going to be for the stadium but for this growing community,” Garber told The Enquirer. “We have a number of projects where parking is really hard and you have a beautiful stadium and people can’t get there. That’s a problem. It takes away from the excitement that everybody has after the bloom falls off the rose of being new.” Speeches from FC Cincinnati President and General Manager Jeff Berding and Hamilton County Commissioner Denise Driehaus on the surface were positive. Berding thanked city leaders for the land and county leaders for a garage, specifically referencing 1,000 spaces. For her part, Driehaus said she was “delighted” the county would “partners” in the investment. But the buoyant speeches masked problems in the background. What still needs to be worked out:
Under city code, the stadium must have 5,300 spaces. And plans do show more spaces than that. But parking won’t be as easy as it is now, with parking garages within easy walking distance to Nippert stadium. Hamilton County commissioners promised to build a 1,000-space garage near the stadium in three separate votes. But they’re backing off the idea, saying they only agreed if it would spur development and it would be economically feasible, something they don’t yet know. FC Cincinnati counters that the agreement is binding because the only contingency is that FC Cincinnati be awarded an MLS team, which has happened. There has been some discussion of a garage half that size, but there is no final deal and there’s not even a promise that a smaller one would be built in time for the stadium’s opening. That has Berding worried, but arts leaders are concerned too. Where, they wonder, will people park on game days if they’re going to Music Hall, Memorial Hall or the Shakespeare Company. Plus, FC Cincinnati hasn’t worked out where Cincinnati Ballet patrons will park. The ballet sits on land the team acquired to build the stadium, and while the ballet can stay, stadium plans show the parking lot would be demolished for the stadium itself.

Land acquisition FC Cincinnati still needs two important pieces of land for the project, both belonging to the city right now. The team needs part of the parking lot attached to Cincinnati Police District One on Ezzard Charles Drive and the rights to a portion Central Avenue. The question is, should FC Cincinnati buy the city land, which is appraised at $1.6 million and build new parking for the police department, at a cost of $850,000? Or just pay just for the new parking? Both deals would include the rights to Central Avenue. “The city appraisal ... is higher than FCC wants to pay,” said Councilman David Mann, chairman of council’s

Budget and Finance Committee. “That’s what the conversation is about. I have not understood why we are expected to add to the subsidy we already gave the team.” Some council members want to see the team pay the full, appraised value, others say a compromise where the team invests in other parking is enough. There is roughly an $800,000 gap in what the plans call for the team to pay. “This needs to be discussed publicly,” Mann said. “I think the point is, are we going to increase the subsidy of FCC or not? Typically we rely on our own appraisal. If we’re going to transfer property for less than value, we have to determine it’s for the public good. It seems to me we made a decision and we should stick by it.” Council has approved $32.9 million for infrastructure needs. FC Cincinnati President and General Manager Jeff Berding said he’s hopeful a deal can be worked out, “unleashing hundreds of millions of dollars from our ownership group that will benefit the entire region.” FC Cincinnati is privately funding the stadium itself, at a cost of $250 million. But the team asked for infrastructure help from the city and county. City officials promised $32.9 million in help and the county parking garage was thought to cost at least $15 million. Compare that to Columbus, where city, county and state leaders are working to keep the Columbus Crew Major League Soccer team with a new stadium. There the city and county have each promised $50 million for the project,

The Center for Addiction Treatment in Cincinnati’s West End has received a $500,000 grant from the SL Gimbel Foundation. CAT will use the grant to help cover the one-year cost of providing primary care services for 1,200 patients and mental health counseling for 520 patients. It’s the largest grant for patient care operations ever received by CAT, the Queen City’s longest-serving addiction treatment center. The SL Gimbel Foundation grant is intended to be used to improve health outcomes for patients in early sobriety and in recovery from drug or alcohol addiction at CAT’s Monarch Primary Care Clinic and its Mental Health Counseling Center. “The timing of this funding is critical to CAT’s expansion into primary care and mental health counseling,” CAT CEO Sandra Kuehn said. “This funding will strengthen our efforts to help a population that is underserved in primary care and mental health, and often encounters medical prejudice when seeking such care.” The SL Gimbel Foundation is a partner of the Orange County Community Foundation, a Californiabased philanthropic organization that provides grants to individuals, families and businesses to fund a wide range of causes. CAT, a nonprofit center at 830 Ezzard Charles Drive, has been treating addicts since 1970. It offers shortterm residential and intensive outpatient services, medication-assisted treatment, counseling, a continuing care program and a comprehensive family education program. CAT is supported in part by the Hamilton County Mental Health and Recovery Services Board, the city of Cincinnati and the United Way of Greater Cincinnati. It receives federal funding and welcomes donations. Visit www.catsober.org/ for information.

Mystery endures 52 years after Bricca slayings Amber Hunt Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
When police officers stepped inside the modest home on Cincinnati’s west side, they had no idea the scene they discovered would become one of the city’s most enduring murder mysteries. But 52 years later, say the name “Bricca” in this town, and the whodunit theories fly even from people born well after the 1966 slaying of a young couple and their 4-year-old daughter. “It’s still a west-side obsession,” says J.T. Townsend, a true-crime author who lives in a northern suburb of the city. Townsend should know: He’s been so obsessed about the case since it happened when he was a 13-year-old boy that he’s finally written a book about it. “This is 52 years in the making,” he says, holding up “Summer’s Almost Gone,” a hefty, 500-page tome detailing not just the murder in question, but also what he describes as the end of Cincinnati’s innocence. The self-published book is available on Townsend’s website at www.jttownsend.com. Jerry and Linda Bricca were found dead of multiple stab wounds in their Bridgetown bedroom on Sept. 27, 1966. Twenty-eight-year-old Jerry had last been seen two days prior taking trash cans to the curb around 9 p.m. He was never seen alive again. After neighbors alerted police that something seemed amiss, officers found both Jerry and his 23-year-old wife dead in their bedroom. Jerry had a sock stuffed in his mouth and stab wounds in his back. Linda was found
Gerald "Jerry" Bricca's body was discovered Sept. 27, 1966, in his west-side bedroom. He, his wife and his 4-year-old daughter had been fatally stabbed. Fifty-two years later, the murders are still unsolved. PROVIDED

face-up with stab wounds to her chest and abdomen. The couple’s only child, a darkhaired precocious girl named Debbie, had been stabbed four times in the bedroom she had next to her parents’. The knife wounds sliced completely through her small body. “That’s what incenses people,” says Townsend of Debbie’s brutal killing. The young couple’s death was tragic,
no question, but Debbie’s was unfathomable. “This was just a cold-blooded murder to get rid of a witness,” he says. “There was no other reason to kill her.” The slayings made huge headlines in Cincinnati and beyond. Police felt enormous pressure to procure a suspect, but the killer – or killers, as Townsend theorizes – proved too cunning. So far, anyway. Townsend hopes his thorough ex-
amination of the case might lead to new tips. He says much of the detail included has never been published before because the author was granted unprecedented access to the aging case file. “Without that case file, there’d be no book,” says Townsend, who previously has written two other Cincinnati-based books: “Queen City Gothic” and “Queen City Notorious.”

Those flagged included two interviews with Dr. Fred Leininger, a veterinarian for whom Linda had worked as a temporary receptionist for three days the week of her death – and with whom she was rumored to be having an affair. Detectives thought Leininger was lying and wanted to interview him more, the police file shows. They never got the chance. Leininger hired a lawyer and refused to answer even basic questions about
the case. While Leininger was never publicly named a suspect – his name, in fact, only once appears in Enquirer archives as having been peripherally tied to the Briccas – police surveillance and neighborhood gossip ensured he lived the rest of his life under a cloud of suspicion. He and his wife killed themselves in 2004. Through the police file, Townsend also learned that police had flagged interviews with some of Leininger’s friends, including legendary local TV personality Glenn Ryle, who hosted the children-friendly “The Skipper Ryle Show” from 1955-1972. Townsend’s book offers the most detailed exploration of the Bricca massacre to date while trying to put the crime into context. The family was slain between the

fourth and fifth victims of the so-called Cincinnati Strangler. Though that killer seemed to be targeting elderly women rather than young couples, some in the city initially assumed the Bricca killings had to be connected. (Posteal Laskey Jr. would be arrested for one of the stranglings, and blamed for six others, in December 1966. He died in prison in 2007.) Those stranglings, added with the Bricca murders, put the whole city on edge, Townsend says. Even he began having nightmares. In his prologue to “Summer’s Almost Gone,” Townsend describes hearing about Jerry Bricca’s death soon after
taking out the trash and then dreaming that his own father was slain by the same killer while hauling garbage to the curb. Townsend says the dream scared him so much that he wet the bed at 13. It’s always bothered him that no one was ever convicted in the Bricca case. There were rumors abound, to be sure – some involving Satanic cults, others purporting mafia links – but police were never able to turn the rumors into arrests. Justice is likely never coming in this case, but Townsend hopes that answers still might. “It’s time we got the story out there,” he says.

Decadent chocolate-covered cherries will impress Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld
It was a request from a reader I couldn’t refuse. “Help! I always make chocolate covered cherries for New Year’s and I lost your recipe. Do you still have it?” And the answer is…yes. The first time I tasted these was when friend, Perrin Rountree, an Anderson Township reader, brought them to work during the holidays. Easy to make, there’s just a bit of technique involved, which I’ve explained in detail. Maybe you need just one more confection for that holiday dessert tray.
Or is it a hostess gift you’re looking for? Get ready to impress the lucky recipient. And as we end the old year and segue into the new one, my prayer is that you finish the holidays with health and happiness, and start the New Year the same way.
Readers want to know Why is my layered peppermint bark separating? A couple of reasons for this, the main one being that you need to use highquality bar chocolate, not morsels, for both white and dark layers. White chocolate should contain cocoa butter, not palm kernel oil. Palm
kernel oil inhibits bonding of the dark chocolate and white layers. Don’t use “chocolate flavored” chocolate. Score the bark after the second layer has become almost firm in the refrigerator. This makes it easy to cut after it's completely set. Before cutting or breaking into pieces, let the layered bark set out just a few minutes. If it’s too cold, it may be too brittle to cut. Check out Nancy Baggett’s excellent post on perfect peppermint bark and see my site for photos. (http://kitchenlane.com/2011/12/how-to-make-chocolate-peppermint-bark.html). Any tips on getting everything on the table at the right temperature? Hah, an age old dilemma! I learned
from Teri Gelter, daughter-in-law Courtney’s mom, to cook items that keep the heat in first, like pasta, potatoes, etc. Wrap them in a couple layers of foil (spray the inside of the foil if the food is in a pan so it doesn’t stick to the food), then wrap the whole thing in a couple bath towels. It should stay warm for an hour or so, freeing stove top and oven space. Baked potatoes can be wrapped in foil and then placed in a cooler lined with a bath towel.

Viewpoints How to protect yourself in the coming year Sandra Guile Guest Columnist Community Pres USA TODAY NETWORK
As the year ends, now is the time that many people look back and reflect on all that happened to get ready for the year ahead, and BBB is no different. Unfortunately, scammers stay the same from year to year and will continue to work to steal important information from people. To help consumers deter them, BBB has compiled scam information from 2018 to give everyone an idea of what to watch for in 2019. The three scams that were reported most often to BBB’s Scam Tracker this year were phishing scams, sweepstakes scams, and government grant scams. Phishing scams are typically committed using email messages or phone calls that appear to come from legitimate businesses or known email addresses. They often use crude social engineering tools designed to induce panic and trick the reader or caller into a vocal response or clicking on a link in the message. From there, the respondent is
then convinced to divulge private information that the scammer then uses to commit identity theft. Sweepstakes and government grant scams are usually conducted by phone and include a claim that the recipient of the call has been awarded a prize or grant only if they pay an upfront fee. People that pressure you for payment should be treated with caution, and if they ask for money through prepaid means - refuse. These payments are untraceable, and money lost typically can’t be recovered. While they weren’t necessarily scams, several news stories broke this year about data breaches of retailers that customers thought they could trust. The best advice? Make sure to keep an eye on your accounts and change your passwords periodically to keep your personal details secure. Instead of using a password, consider using a password keeper or a passphrase and double check you’re not giving any hints away on your social media postings. Cyber Experts are predicting that next year’s Internet of Things may be at higher risk of not being able to securely
Project SEARCH serves students at Great Oaks Harry Snyder Guest Columnist Community Press USA TODAY NETWORK
One responsibility of Great Oaks Career Campuses is to serve all with career training and education. Project SEARCH is one creative and effective way we do so. Begun more than 20 years ago by Erin Riehle at Children’s Hospital and Susie Rutkowski at Great Oaks, Project SEARCH is a unique transition-to work program for young people with disabilities. The program combines real-life work experience with training in professional and independent-living skills. From that start in 1996, Project SEARCH has grown to include programs in nearly every state and in nine countries. We’re blessed that Great Oaks students were among the first to benefit from this innovative program, and with our business partners at Children’s Hospital, Fifth Third Bank, and Xavier University, Great Oaks has
worked with Project SEARCH to start hundreds of area students on the path to adulthood. Brooke is one such student. She came to Great Oaks in the CareerX program, a career exploration and employability skills program for students with special needs. After completing the CareerX program, Brooke entered Project SEARCH Xavier University, completing three non-paid internships on Xavier’s campus. Since she graduated in 2013, Brooke has been working at Currito at Xavier as a prep cook preparing all the stores’ salsas. Project SEARCH exemplifies the best in education; a great idea, passionate and knowledgeable champions to move that idea forward, and strong partnerships between education and business, all working together for the benefit of young people.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Leave the transfer tax alone Even the Holiday Season can’t stop more bad news for property owners. Not only are property taxes out of control, but now our County Commissioners are considering raising the property Transfer Tax by one third. Presently, the seller of a home pays $300 per $100,000 of property sold. If the Commissioner’s follow through with the increase, the seller of property would pay $400 per $100,000. The Cincinnati Area Board of Realtors have indicated their opposition, fearing the people will be discouraged from buying homes and moving into
Hamilton County. As usual property owners are caught in the middle. On one hand, property owners (many of whom are seniors and on fixed incomes) can’t afford the high property taxes. On the other hand, they will have difficulty in selling their homes because of the additional burden of higher property transfer tax. Commissioners, if you need addition revenue, find it elsewhere other than on the backs of property owners. Norbert A. Nadel Hamilton County Recorder
retain consumer’s personal information. Any of the new electronics that were intended to make our lives easier should probably be looked at and used with more caution. The days of simply updating a password are evolving to using a passphrase and constantly updating hardware or software will become the norm. It will become more of a necessity to keep our information personal and we’ll have to become diligent on who and with whom we share our email, phone and mailing address to protect against cyber thieves. Many of these large-scale breaches announced in the news are caused by phishing scams; they’re a simple and easy way to gather a lot of profitable information quickly. Customer and employee education should improve awareness of the latest attacks and scams, so training is an especially important measure for business owners to take. Before we move on to the New Year, here’s one more fun fact to digest: 2019 will see 40 billion mobile phone calls. Half of those calls are expected to be from scammers. The best advice? Hang up or if you don’t recognize the number,
don’t answer it and perhaps they’ll leave a voicemail. If they do leave one and you don’t recognize it, delete it. As you look back on your 2018 and think about resolutions for New Year’s, BBB recommends making it a goal to protect your personal information and step up your online security. Listen carefully to calls that request money of you and update the software on your mobile and electronic devices. Keep a close eye on bank statements, watch out for pop-up ads, emails, and text messages from unfamiliar sources and research any apps before downloading them.

Help respond to the needs of mass shooting victims Kristen Wevers Guest Columnist Community Press USA TODAY NETWORK
Months have passed since the tragic shooting at Fountain Square on Sept. 6, but the events of that day remain very poignant and clear. The sound of shots and sirens. The quick and brave actions of first responders. The yellow tape surrounding Fountain Square. The feelings of fear, shock and uncertainty. What stands out most, however, is how the people of Cincinnati came together as a unified, strong and resilient community in the face of utter tragedy. Together, we honored the memory of those who were killed and the indomitable spirit of those who survived. We rallied around each other with "Cincinnati Strong" as our battle cry. Despite our collective strength, we know that the Cincinnati community is still grieving and recovering. The emotional trauma caused by experiencing such an attack is something many continue to face in their daily lives. The impacts are often sustained and unseen, ranging from anxiety and depression to grief and PTSD, but they are serious and real. The Cincinnati Strong Victims Fund was created to help the Cincinnati community recover together, and it is modeled after similar efforts in other communities affected by gun violence, including Las Vegas. People from across our region and nation have demonstrated great compassion, support and generosity by donating to the fund, which will benefit those who were directly affected by the attack and its aftermath. The fund is designed to help provide solace and comfort to people impacted by the attack and to help them regain some of the control that was taken on Sept. 6. Strength often means acknowledging our weaknesses and having the courage to seek support. We encourage
those who have been personally affected by the shooting at Fountain Square to apply to be a recipient of the Cincinnati Strong Victims Fund at www.nationalcompassionfund.org. Applications must be submitted by Dec. 10 and funds will be distributed in January. For some, recovering from victimization means taking action in some way. The Cincinnati Strong Victims Fund is accepting donations throughout November to aid in our community’s recovery effort. Donations can be made at www.nationalcompassionfund.org. As the Cincinnati Strong Victims Fund Steering Committee, it is our mission to fairly administer these funds for the direct benefit of the victims. The protocol for doing so can also be found at the same website. The terror inflicted upon our community on Sept. 6 affected us all. Together, through this effort, the Cincinnati community can continue to rise from tragedy, heal and grow. Together, we are Cincinnati Strong. Kristen Wevers is chair of the Cincinnati Strong Victims Fund Steering Committee and senior vice president and chief marketing and communications officer for UC Health. She writes this on behalf of the committee which includes: Debbie Brooks, executive vice president of the YWCA of Greater Cincinnati; Stephanie Byrd, CEO of the American Red Cross of Greater Cincinnati and Dayton; Julie Calvert, CEO of the Cincinnati Convention and Visitors Bureau; Scott Carroll, attorney with Jackson Lewis; Dr. Kathleen Chard, director of Trauma Recovery Center for U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs; Heidi Jark, managing director of the Foundation Office at Fifth Third Bank; Marilyn Maag, attorney with Porter Wright Morris & Arthur; Nancy Pinckney, senior vice president for human capital business consulting at Fifth Third Bank; Dr. Tim Pritts, chief of the section of general surgery at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine; Lisa Sauer, vice president of product supply for Procter & Gamble Co.; and Teresa Tanner, chief administrative officer of Fifth Third Bank.

Elder coach Joe Schoenfeld began his career as an assistant under the legendary Paul “Hans” Frey who won back-to-back Ohio state titles in 1973 and 1974, and has surpassed him in victories at the school. ENQUIRER FILE
Elder’s Schoenfeld at 400 wins, still plugging
Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
PRICE HILL - A west-side Cincinnatian can usually be detected by how they describe their current and past residences. In some cases, they are one in the same. In the case of Joe Schoenfeld, he resides within healthy walking distance of his office, a/k/a the Elder High School gymnasium. The current “Professor of The Pit” reached a significant milestone, 400 basketball wins. For good measure, his Panthers came from behind to beat their neighbors in Western Hills, 56-51. “I grew up in St. Teresa Parish, about two miles away,” Schoenfeld said. “I currently live in St. Williams Parish, so about a half-mile. It’s close and it’s nice. I
don’t have to drive far. My daughters went right next door to Seton. We’re just kind of neighborhood, Elder-Price Hill people.” Schoenfeld can’t remember his first varsity win (66-59 over Dayton Chaminade) but distinctly remembers his first game at the front of the bench, an 82-76 loss to Covington Holmes. “I look at pictures of me when I was first hired and I can’t believe Dave Dabbelt (then AD) would trust me to run this program looking like a young whippersnapper,” Schoenfeld said.
Born to be a Panther After playing at Elder and Xavier, Schoenfeld returned to his alma mater and began his apprenticeship under the
legendary Paul “Hans” Frey. Frey was 383-118 at Elder and won back-to-back Ohio state titles in 1973 and 1974. Schoenfeld was in eighth and ninth grade during those historic seasons. The state finals were played at Ohio State’s St. John Arena, a unique old arena that seemingly rose straight up from the floor. Like many Elder historians, he proudly recalls the names of George and Henry Miller, Steve Grote and Rick Apke from those teams. Henry Miller went on to become a University of Cincinnati quarterback, Grote played basketball for Michigan and took on undefeated Indiana in the 1976 NCAA championship game and Apke played at Creighton. “The second time we won, we went up to Columbus,” Schoenfeld said. “That was so much fun. The older kids sat
courtside, I was way up in the balcony, last row I think, up in the nosebleeds. It seemed like it went straight up back in those days. I couldn’t really tell if the ball went in, I just waited for the guys down below to start cheering.” Schoenfeld recounted that and other stories about a year and a half ago at an Enquirer Storyteller event. Much of his life has been seen through a purple lens.
The cheer is still clear His enthusiasm is not of a man who has coached more than 630 games at the varsity level. He still comes across as a young fan catching his first game in the old “Pit” (now used for wrestling and volSee SCHOENFELD, Page 2B

“It’s so easy to coach at Elder. The kids are raised well. Their parents sent them to Elder because they want to reinforce what they’re learning at home. It’s an easy coaching situation. I’m not sure I could be that excited if I coached someplace else. It just means something to me to coach at Elder.”

leyball). One particular cheer has stuck with him from his early days of watching Frey and the Panthers. “It was ‘Hans, Hans open the door, let the Panthers on the floor!’” Schoenfeld said. “It just went over and over. The cheerleaders and cheering section would start that whenever they thought the JV game was over. It was like (former Boston Celtics coach) Red Auerbach’s cigar when everyone thought the game was over, that’s when the cheering section would start that cheer.” The pupil has tried to keep with some of Frey’s theories of playing hard, never giving up and representing the school with class. Though Schoenfeld passed his mentor in career wins in Feb. 2017, he defers to Frey. “He’ll always be the best basketball coach that went through Elder,” Schoenfeld said. “Winning percentage, number of GCL championships, he never had a losing season. It’s kind of mind-boggling what he was able to accomplish.”

Kelsey, of course, rings a bell from his playing and coaching days at Xavier and as current head coach at Winthrop University.
In 2001, Schoenfeld’s Panthers got past a stacked Columbus Brookhaven team, then fell short in the state final. Along the way, he also got to coach an NFL standout in Kyle Rudolph. So, will he shoot for 500? “I still enjoy it. It’s a lot of fun,” Schoenfeld said of his front row seat.

It’s been a pretty good career for a guy who thought he’d be an accountant. His father was an accountant. Somewhere along the line at Xavier, the basketball bug bit and 400 wins later Schoenfeld is still putting on purple pullovers. The school is somewhat unique given the longevity of Schoenfeld and football coach Doug Ramsey. There’s not a tandem in the GCL-South that have been in place for so long. Tim Austing and Phil Bengel have been along for a good part of Schoenfeld’s ride, which looks like it will continue in one of the toughest leagues around. “We coach who comes,” Schoenfeld said. “Some years you’re going to have more talent and some years not quite as much. We try to reach our potential and maybe overachieve a little bit. We’re all coaching the same kids. We’ve got six kids on the basketball team that just came off the football team. Then we’ll turn it over and they’ll be baseball guys. I think that says something about Elder.”

Students in neighboring west-side schools learn different skills, same lessons St. Jude School, a K-8 Catholic institution on the west-side of Cincinnati, shares a property line with Margaret B. Rost School, a facility operated by Hamilton County Developmental Disabilities Services. Rost supports students with significant disabilities by providing individualized instruction focusing on functional academics, communication and socialization skills, behavior support, and practical tasks for living and working in the community. Similar addresses on Bridgetown Road isn’t all these two schools share. For over twenty years, they have partnered together to offer students an opportunity to work, play, and learn from one another. Every week, fifth graders from St. Jude visit Rost School students to participate in art projects, computer lab work, physical fitness activities, and learning dance routines together. This partnership is an awesome opportunity for St. Jude students to learn more about and gain a better awareness of the necessity of respect for life by working with people of differing abilities, and for the Rost students to interact with young people from their community. Students recognize each other outside of their school settings and have formed friendships that they may never have had an opportunity to do before. Because of the positive impact these interactions have on the students, Cyndie Imfeld and Patty Porter from Rost School, along with Elaine Kroger and Maria Schumacher from St. Jude School, have designed new activities for the students to participate in together throughout the year. At the invite of Imfeld, the music teacher at Rost, St. Jude’s fifth graders participated in Rost’s inaugural “Move a Thon” last fall. This past October, they joined forces once again for this event, in

which all the students move around the outdoor track while listening to music. This social setting allowed students to learn some interesting facts about each other and build more solid personal relationships. In conjunction with the “Move a Thon”, Rost School collects canned
goods to help re-supply Anderson Ferry Food Pantry, and fifth graders from St. Jude have joined in this cause by collecting and adding to Rost’s collection each year. In February, Rost celebrates “Heart Health” month by doing a Jump Rope for
Heart session. St. Jude students participated last year by helping to run stations for Ms. Porter. They kept time for events, counted jumps, and helped students in wheelchairs to move across the ropes. This current group of students is already eagerly anticipating this event. Last May, Kroger and Schumacher worked with the fifth graders to organize a carnival to host the Rost students on their campus. St. Jude students monitored games such as “Punch Out” and “Bingo”, painted faces with mascot pictures, and did a craft activity together. Students from both schools joined together to play parachute activities in the gym. Since the beginning of this partnership, every Spring, Rost and St. Jude students have performed an annual concert to showcase what they have learned over the year. Some students sign using the American sign language they have learned throughout the year for songs, while others perform a complex dance routine with the ‘Rocket Rollers’. It is a great celebration to end St. Jude’s time at Rost for the year and to celebrate the many friendships that were formed throughout the year. Both schools look forward to this partnership growing and providing opportunities for more young people to make valuable connections to each other and positively impact our community. “At both schools, we work on skills to help the students learn and grow,” says Imfeld. “This isn’t just a good partnership where we work on those skills, it’s a great relationship.” Kroger adds, “They take care of us and we take care of them. Building those relationships and caring for each other is the lesson that really matters.” Community Relations Department, St. Jude School

More than 200 high school students from 14 schools attended the third-annual Education Summit, hosted by the Mount’s School of Education. Built around the theme of “Agents of Change: Lead, Inspire, Teach,” the Education Summit is designed as a day dedicated to learning about the many career options in education. The schedule included breakout sessions and panel discussions covering a variety of topics, including dyslexia, diversity, administrative roles in education, and teaching with a mission. An Area of Study Showcase, hosted by MSJ faculty, invited attendees to learn about some of the ‘helping’ professions associated with education, such as psychology, social work and physical therapy. Topping off the success of this year’s Education Summit was a keynote address by Teddy Kremer, author of “Stealing First,” and Cincinnati Reds’ most popular bat boy. His message was
uplifting and authentic, as he shared his accomplishments and recognized the people who helped him, including teachers, coaches, and his family. Teddy’s stories about being in the Reds’ dugout and having not one, but two ‘Teddy Kremer Bobblehead’ nights at Great American Ball Park, gave way to laughter, smiles, and applause. Laura Saylor, Ph.D., dean of the School of Education, presented Teddy with a few MSJ Spirit items, including a Lauren Hill Bobblehead. The students thanked Teddy with a standing ovation. Dr. Saylor also recognized the committee members who made this year’s Education Summit a reality, including Jennie Cunningham, MSJ administrative assistant; Kate Doyle, Ph.D., MSJ assistant professor and director of the graduate special education program; Sharon Foley, support staff; and Cindy Shibinksi, M.A., MSJ instructor.
