Best places for winter thrill-seekers in Cincy Charles Infosino Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Just because the winter brings chills, it does not mean that we must lose our thrills. Cincinnati is in driving distance of an outdoor ski venue and home to many indoor thrill venues. If you want to take your family snowboarding, go-kart racing, climbing or jumping; there is at least one venue in Greater Cincinnati that can feed your need for speed. Here are some of the area's top venues where you can thrill out, not chill out, with your family.

This local theater’s been doing live shows since November David Lyman | Special to Cincinnati Enquirer | USA TODAY NETWORK

“When the pandemic started, we were just like every other theater,” said Kim Kern, the Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati’s CEO and managing director. “We had a Plan A. And a Plan B. And a Plan C. And then we had everything else down to Plan Z.” Also like every other theater, TCT had hopes of returning to the stage by Thanksgiving. But unlike most of those other theaters, TCT actually did it. “The Velveteen Rabbit,” a stage adaptation of the heart-wrenching children’s classic, opened on Nov. 12. Normally, that’s the time of year that TCT would be staging mega-musicals in Downtown’s 2,500seat Taft Theatre. Not this year. Too few schools would be available to attend. Besides, the safety protocols mandated by various government entities would keep the audiences so small – just 15 percent of normal capacity – that staging a big musical would be economically impractical. Instead, TCT turned to its 152-seat Storytime

Theatre, housed in the company’s headquarters on Red Bank Road. Normally, the space is used by students of the TCT Academy. But there was nothing normal about these time. Besides, TCT felt an urgency to get back onstage. “Our mission is to do live entertainment,” said producing artistic director Roderick Justice. “So we had to fi gure out a way to do it.” It wouldn’t be easy, though. Those same guidelines that made Taft shows impossible applied to the Storytime Theatre, too. That meant a maximum audience of just 44 people. “That was enough for me,” said Justice. “If we open the house and there are 12 people in the audience, we will do the show with as much energy and commitment as if there were 1,200 people there. And those people will have the times of their lives.” There were other things to consider, though. When it comes to COVID-19, actors and singers are See THEATER, Page 3A

Oakley OB/GYN suspended after sharing drugs with patients, sexual misconduct Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

An Oakley gynecologist was suspended from practicing medicine for at least two years and fi ned $18,000 Jan. 13, according to the Medical Board of Ohio. Dr. Joseph Michael Franzese prescribed oxycodone to a patient in 2017 without an examination or documenting the prescription, then shared the pills with her, and entered into a sexual relationship with her before ending their doctor-patient relationship, documents from the board state. On another occasion in 2018, Franzese asked a patient to share some of the Percocet he had just prescribed to her, the documents say.

According to the board, Franzese admitted to both of these incidents. Since December 2018, Franzese has operated his own practices, but these incidents occurred while working at another doctor’s practice. Throughout his testimony to the board, Franzese explained that he had not been out of his residency long and has since learned how serious these matters are. The board also said Franzese told another patient to ask a man on a dating app for a pictures of his genitals. Franzese denies that he did this. He said the topic came up in conversation, but he never directed the woman to do anything. The board did not fi nd his excuse credible.

“Dr. Franzese has exhibited a pattern of misconduct,” the board wrote. “Asking patients for controlled substances or even accepting controlled substances is not only bad practice, it is a crime... Dr. Franzese committed these criminal acts, not due to any substance use disorder, but because it was convenient for him.” The board also noted that the main physician at the practice where he was work at the time of the incidents told him to seek counseling with the fi rst six months of his employment. Offi cials said his behavior there was “disruptive.” “Dr. Franzese stated at hearing that it was diffi cult for him being the only man in an offi ce of women, which seems like an odd sentiment for a gyne-

cologist to express,” the board said. They said that since he became aware of the allegations against him, he has done little to remediate the problem, but added: “It is possible that Dr. Franzese has seen the error of his ways and truly wishes to reform his behavior.” In addition to the fi ne and the suspension, Franzese will permanently have to have a chaperone monitor his prescriptions and orders for any Schedule II controlled substances like oxycodone. He will face a three-year probationary period when his license to practice medicine is reinstated, and he must complete a variety of courses on professional behavior, ethics and the prescription of controlled substances.

Cincinnati native to serve aboard oldest commissioned warship Submitted by Navy Office Of Community Outreach

BOSTON – Cincinnati, Ohio native, Seaman Jordan Sharp checked aboard USS Constitution Jan. 5. Duty aboard USS Constitution is one of the Navy’s special programs, and all prospective crewmembers must meet a high standard of sustained excellence and interview to be selected for the assignment. “I’m excited to be a part of history,” said Sharp. Sharp has served the Navy for three months and USS Constitution is her fi rst duty station.

Sharp is a 2020 graduate of Walnut Hills High School. USS Constitution, is the world’s oldest commissioned warship afl oat, and played a crucial role in the Barbary Wars and the War of 1812, actively defending sea lanes from 1797 to 1855. The active-duty sailors stationed aboard USS Constitution normally provide free tours and off er public visitation to more than 600,000 people each year as they support the ship’s mission of promoting the Navy’s history, maritime heritage, and raising awareness of the importance of a sustained naval presence.

USS Constitution was undefeated in battle and captured or destroyed 33 enemy vessels. The ship earned the nickname of Old Ironsides during the war of 1812 after British cannonballs were seen bouncing off the ship’s wooden hull. Seaman Katrina Mastrolia, USS Constitution Public Aff airs

Ohio’s COVID-19 overnight curfew extended again Jackie Borchardt Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Ohio’s COVID-19 curfew will be renewed for a third time, Gov. Mike DeWine said Thursday. DeWine said the curfew is still needed to control the spread of the novel coronavirus, while balancing the need to keep businesses open. Ohioan have been asked to stay at

home – with lots of exceptions – from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. since Nov. 19. The original three-week curfew was renewed on Dec. 10. It was set to expire Jan. 23. “We would love to get rid of it,” DeWine said. “The next step would be to take it to 11 o’ clock but we’re not there.” The curfew had been a compromise between the Republican governor and businesses to avoid closing bars, restaurants, gyms and other indoor spaces

where patrons linger for longer than 15 minutes and it’s diffi cult to wear a mask. The curfew also replaced an earlier health order prohibiting alcohol sales after 10 p.m. and consumption at bars and restaurants after 11 p.m. DeWine has said the curfew has reduced COVID-19 spread, but that’s a diffi cult claim to prove. During the fi rst weeks of the curfew, new cases and hospitalizations continued to spike.

But everybody stayed employed.” “The Velveteen Rabbit” closed just before Christmas. But TCT has new shows – live shows – to take its place. “Garfi eld, the Musical with Cattitude,” runs Jan. 21-Feb. 14, followed by “Rapunzel’s Hairy Fairy Tale” (Feb. 25March 21). All these shows will be available online through “Broadway On Demand” (https://bit.ly/3i98Xoj).

regarded as “super-spreaders.” Think about it. Even when we’re wearing masks and speaking normally, we’re supposed to stay six feet apart. But actors need their voices to be heard in every corner of a theater. So they speak more forcefully. Unfortunately, it’s not just their voices that carry farther. Those minute particles of saliva – the ones that can carry viruses – cover more ground, too. The solution? Masks. Not the same things you and I wear. Rather, these were incorporated into the costumes designed by Jeff Shearer. At fi rst, you don’t even notice that they’re there. But look closer at the costume of the title character, played by A. James Jones. He’s wearing a mask that looks like a rabbit’s distinctive nose. But the overall shape is almost identical to the utilitarian nose-and-mouth coverings recommended for all of us. For actors, there is a downside to masks; they muffl e the speaking voice. What good is a mask if the audience can’t understand what you’re saying? Justice and company had an answer to that one, too. They recorded the dialogue so that actors wouldn’t have to speak while onstage. Essentially, the actors are miming the show to a pre-recorded soundtrack. It’s not ideal. But it works. And, said Kern, it has enabled the theater to achieve a measure of stability during a decidedly unstable time. “We have not had to furlough or lay

VIEWPOINTS National unity is unrealizable fantasy Your Turn Gil Spencer Guest columnist

There is something weirdly deranged in the calls from people in the media and our political classes for national “unity.” Given events – an incredibly close presidential election, protests, riots, arsons, government-ordered quarantines, business closures, lock-downs and impeachments – national unity is an unrealizable fantasy. Sans the lock-downs, this sort of stuff has been happening on and off for decades but has gotten hotter in the past four years, thanks in great part to Donald Trump and the people who can’t stand him, which is fair because he can’t stand them either. We are told by the “unifi ers” that all Trump has to do to unify the country is to go quietly into that good night. We are told that all Joe Biden has to do help unify the country is to make nice with Trump voters and be the liberal/moderate he’s played in public his 40 years of “government service.” (Now there’s an oxymoron for you.) Let’s talk turkey. The United States of America, despite its name, is not a united country. It is a federation of states, made up of 320 million people of diff erent religions, political beliefs and cultural values. The states are held together legally by our Constitution (the one with all the amendments in it), and culturally by tradition, mass media and educational indoctrination. As our cultural and political institutions have become more corrupt, inept and hypocritical, the bonds between our

fellow citizens have become more frayed and fragile, if not completely broken. Where there are no bonds, the best we can hope for is for tolerance. Now, I’m not talking about the new defi nition of tolerance; the one that means we love and celebrate our diff erences. I’m talking about the old defi nition that required actual toleration. After all, you don’t have to tolerate the things you like. You tolerate the things you don’t. Things like pain, ugliness and other people’s dumb ideas. There was a time when the idea of “zero-tolerance” became a thing. This idea became very popular with school administrators in relation to student behavior. In those years, it wasn’t surprising to read about a kindergartner being suspended for drawing a picture of a

Why it’s key to understand a Roth IRA’s ‘fi ve-year’ rule Allworth Advice Amy Wagner & Nathan Bachrach Guest columnists

Question: Shannon in Pendleton County: I’m changing jobs and want to roll over my Roth 401(k) to my Roth IRA. How does the 5-year rule work in a situation like this? A: We’re glad you’re asking about this because sometimes the fi ve-year rule can trip up people. As a refresher, in order to withdraw earnings from a Roth IRA tax free, you must be at least age 591⁄ 2 and you must have held the account for at least fi ve years (contributions can come out at any time tax free and penalty free). However, if you’re rolling over a Roth 401(k) into a Roth IRA this fi veyear clock gets “reset,” so to speak. And the age of the Roth IRA is key. For example, let’s say you’ve held your Roth IRA for six years and you’ve had your Roth 401(k) for four years. In this case, your Roth IRA clearly meets the fi ve-year rule, so if you roll over your Roth 401(k), you’re good to go. No reset is necessary. But what if we fl ip the scenario and say you’ve held your Roth IRA for four years and your Roth 401(k) for six years? In this case, even though your Roth 401(k) meets the fi ve-year rule, your Roth IRA doesn’t. This means, once you complete the rollover, you would still have to wait another year until your Roth IRA hits that fi ve-year threshold before you can make any tax-free earnings withdrawals (assuming you’re at least age 59 1⁄ 2). Here’s The Allworth Advice: Roth IRAs are a great savings tool, but they come with specifi c rules. Be sure you keep records of when you opened it and made your fi rst contribution. Q: Sean from Loveland: How can I help my son start building a credit history? He’s 16. A: It’s good that you’re thinking ahead about something like this. Be-

cause a credit score can impact everything from car loan payments, to insurance rates, to whether or not a landlord will rent to someone, to whether or not an employer will hire someone – and building a strong credit score can be a laborious process, especially for a young adult. One of the easiest ways to help your son is by adding him to one of your credit cards as an authorized user. This will allow him to basically ‘piggyback’ off of your credit behavior. Assuming you have a strong credit score and positive credit habits, your son’s credit history will start refl ecting the same thing. But remember, it’s still your card – so any debt he racks up (or doesn’t pay) is still technically your responsibility. Check with your card issuer about any potential fees that adding an authorized user will trigger. It’s free for most, but there are a few exceptions. Also, double check to make sure a minor can be added (most cards require authorized users to be at least 13 years old, so there will likely be no issue with your situation). Furthermore, consider asking the issuer what type of authorized user information it will report to the major credit bureaus since that data will subsequently show up on your son’s credit history. According to creditcards. com, some issuers will report only positive items, but others will report both positive and negative items. When your son fi nally has his own credit card in his own name (which legally can’t happen until age 21 in most cases), don’t be in too much of a hurry to remove him as an authorized user. Once you do, he’ll lose all that shared credit history. So, wait several months at minimum – even a few years. The Allworth Advice is that adding a child as an authorized user is an easy way to give them a leg up since building credit from scratch can be diffi cult. Just make sure they – and you – practice responsible credit habits during this time. Every week, Allworth Financial’s Nathan Bachrach and Amy Wagner answer your questions. If you, a friend, or someone in your family has a money issue or problem, feel free to send those questions to yourmoney@enquirer.com.

gun or third-grader being expelled for sexually harassing the girl sitting next to him. And, of course, we remember zerotolerance claims against drugs. Over time, most of our zero-tolerance policies in elementary schools and elsewhere collapsed under the weight of their own stupidity. Oddly enough, they have been updated and reimagined into cancel culture, used by internet mobs to zero in on people with whom they disagree and get them fi red from their jobs. What cancel culture has to do with tolerance is this: nothing. Unity? Forget it. And anyway, it is not a president’s job to unify the country. It is not even the president’s job to “run” the country, though far too many people mistakenly think that it is. Presidents don’t run anything. Their job is to man-

age, not the country but a single branch of government. They appoint people to “run” mammoth federal bureaucracies staff ed by employees. The one thing that unites Americans is when we are attacked by outsiders. We loosely unite to go to war against foreign enemies. And that’s not always a great thing. Think of the war in Iraq and how quickly we became disunited in the fi ghting of that! So, when I think of national unity, I think of John Lennon’s song “Imagine.” Pretty song. But crazy to believe. No heaven, no hell, no countries, no possessions, no greed, no hunger, a brotherhood of man? As Biden might say, “Come on, man!” If history has proved anything, such a world could never exist as long as human beings inhabit it. The sooner we get used to that reality, the better the chances for relative peace and tranquility. Gil Spencer is a Hyde Park resident and member of The Enquirer editorial board.

Whatever happened to: Death row inmate Elwood Jones

|

13A

Amber Hunt Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Whatever happened to: Death row inmate Elwood Jones’ hearing to consider a new trial Death row inmate Elwood Jones was hoping he’d know by now whether he’d be granted a new murder trial. Turned out, 2020 had other plans for him. Jones, 68, was convicted in the September 1994 beating death of Rhoda Nathan, a 67-year-old guest at the Embassy Suites in Blue Ash, where Jones had worked in maintenance. His execution was recently rescheduled from April 2021 until Dec. 6, 2023. The reprieve isn’t due to Jones’ eff orts to get a new trial. Rather, it’s because Gov. Mike DeWine has said it’s “pretty clear” there won’t be any executions next year. DeWine’s reasoning is that lethal injection is out as an option in Ohio, and lawmakers haven’t chosen a diff erent method of capital punishment. He made no mention of the fact that the pandemic has caused utter upheaval in the nation’s courts, making it far harder for defendants who claim they’re innocent to be heard. Jones is one such defendant. In November 2019, a Hamilton County judge did not dismiss Jones’ motion for a new trial, which is typically what happens when such a request is made. Instead, she agreed to hold a hearing so that Jones and his lawyers could argue for a new trial. That hearing had been scheduled for the spring, and then postponed because of the statewide lockdown caused by COVID-19. It was rescheduled for the summer, but Jones was told he couldn’t attend it because the coronavirus had hit prisons especially hard, meaning Jones could potentially expose others in the courthouse to the virus. It had again been rescheduled for December, but that was punted, too, lawyer Erin Barnhart said. “To have been so close to getting our day in court and then be thwarted by

the pandemic over and over this year has certainly been frustrating,” Barnhart said in an email. “It’s diffi cult to believe anything would be more isolating than death row, but all visiting has been canceled as well at the prison, compounding the hardship.” Jones, in a message from prison, described the situation as “disheartening.” “I have been preparing for the past 27 years for an opportunity at a fair hearing,” he wrote, adding that it’s not just the pandemic holding things up. The judge who’d been presiding over the case, Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge Ethna Cooper, lost her bid for reelection in November. Her successor, Wende Cross, won the post 56%-44% and has to be brought up to speed on the nuances of the case. “What I thought would be my day in court will now be placed on hold once again for another 6 months into 2021,” Jones wrote. Nathan was viciously beaten to death Sept. 3, 1994, in her Blue Ash hotel room. Jones – who had previous felonies on his record for burglary and theft – became a suspect days later when he went to a hospital to be treated for a cut on his hand that got severely infected. Doctors determined the cut was riddled with a bacteria called eikenella corrodens, which is often, but not exclusively, found in people’s mouths. The prosecution’s theory was that Jones got the cut from Nathan’s mouth when he punched her. Jones said the

Erin Barnhart, attorney for Elwood Jones, says a hearing to weigh whether Jones should get a new trial was repeatedly delayed in 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic. AMANDA ROSSMANN

injury came from a fall he’d had while dumping a trash bag full of partially eaten food into a Dumpster at the hotel. Because the jury convicted Jones largely on the so-called “fi ght bite” evidence, the case was heralded as a win for forensic science and featured in an episode of the TV show “Forensic Files” in 2001. Another damning piece of evidence was a necklace police said they found in Jones’ work toolbox, which was in the trunk of his car. After the slaying, police impounded the car but didn’t secure it. When they searched it days later, they said they’d discovered a unique pendant Nathan was known to wear. Even with that evidence, police didn’t charge Jones with the crime for a full year. Jones has maintained his innocence from the start and has accused police of framing him by planting Nathan’s necklace in his toolbox. He was one of several hotel employees at the time with criminal records. The hotel had been battling a rash of room robberies that continued after Jones’ arrest.

In 1995, a woman held in the county jail said her husband killed Nathan. Police didn’t investigate the claim, nor did they tell Jones’ lawyers about it. Jones only learned of the information in 2016 while fi ghting for a new trial. Barnhart, Jones’ lawyer, thinks the man in question – a convict named Earl Reed, who has since died – was the real killer. Barnhart said she’s anxious for her client’s day in court. “We all hope that will go forward next year, but of course whether it does is out of everyone’s control,” she said. TIP LINE: People with information about this case are encouraged to call a tip line supplied by Barnhart, Jones’ lawyer, at 614-469-4150. Barnhart is especially interested in talking to anyone with information about a man named Earl Reed, who’s now dead, as well as James Wilson, a Black man who transported people to an area church in the 1990s. Wilson would be in his 70s or 80s now. Barnhart feels information about either man could shine light on Nathan’s slaying.

Purcell Marian's current practice fi eld adjacent to the school.THANKS TO PURCELL MARIAN

New football stadium coming to Purcell Marian High School Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Roger Staubach, a 1960 Purcell graduate, went on to the U.S. Naval Academy where he won the Heisman Trophy, followed by a decade-long Hall of Fame career as quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. FILE

EAST WALNUT HILLS - Since opening in 1928, Purcell Marian High School has played on many football fi elds. None of them were their own. The Cavaliers have produced NFL talent like Hall of Famer and Heisman winner Roger Staubach and Terry Killens. They won an Ohio state championship in 1986 playing at Ohio Stadium in Columbus. But, regardless of being the home team, they’ve always traveled. In recent years, Purcell Marian used the University of Cincinnati’s Sheakley Center. Last season they used Marx Stadium on the campus of Walnut Hills when the Eagles weren’t at home. Current plans call for continued games there or at Norwood’s Shea Stadium. But, hope is on the way as Purcell Marian has announced plans for a stadium of their own. An adjacent lot has been purchased

as well as the property of the Gilligan Funeral Home on Woodburn Avenue. A project estimated at roughly $3 million could have the Cavaliers marching from their own locker room to an on-campus stadium in a couple of years. The stadium is independent of all school fundraising and specifi c plans will be released in the coming months. D.J. Dowdy is a former University of Cincinnati tight end who now serves as athletic director at Purcell Marian, as well as head football coach. “It’s been a long-talked-about thing,” Dowdy said ojump tf the endeavor. “For us given the times right now to be able to acquire those two properties is a big deal.” The Cavaliers do have a practice fi eld next to the school but it’s approximately three-quarters of a regulation fi eld if that. Prior to its construction, Purcell Marian football players were bused to Eden Park to practice on grass that See STADIUM, Page 2B

Moeller athlete recovers from COVID-19 complications Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Jan. 15. A week after a public address announcer asked for prayers for Moeller junior varsity basketball player Josiah Love, the 6-foot-4 sophomore has returned home from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. No. 50 in Moeller’s program was not present at that Jan. 8 game and had been experienced what he thought was a “stomach bug.” He had three negative COVID-19 tests and some doctor visits but eventually had to go into cardiac intensive care after testing positive from an anti-

body test at Children’s. The following day, the Moeller community provided more prayers. By Monday night, Love was already experiencing progress. Along with Josiah’s father James Love, his mother Sommer Love posted the following on her Facebook page late Friday afternoon: We are going home!!!! Thank you EVERYONE for the thoughts, prayers, texts, messages, and calls...we are beyond grateful and humbled for the outpouring of support we have received. Words couldn’t adequately express our gratitude...we are blessed with amazing friends and family!! Love was pictured in a sweatsuit with a mask and a Nike bag in the hospi-

tal lobby. The family had previously updated Love’s condition Monday night on Facebook including an explanation of what led to his hospitalization. “Josiah had what seemed to be a stomach bug,” Sommer Love wrote. “But, what we found after several doctor’s visits and three negative COVID tests, was that he has multisystem infl ammatory syndrome (MIS-C). This is a rare side eff ect of COVID that infl ames the blood vessels in the body. We didn’t even know Josiah had COVID until he was given the antibody test at Children’s Hospital, where the dedicated doctors, nurses and staff have been so amazing.” Love is also a football player using his lanky frame as a wide receiver.

Mount Notre Dame players celebrate after winning the girls Division I state volleyball championship on Nov. 15. PHOTOS BY TONY TRIBBLE FOR THE ENQUIRER

MND volleyball coaches step down after state title Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

READING - A little over two months since winning the Ohio Division I state volleyball championship for the 10th time, Mount Notre Dame High School will be looking for new coaches. Chris Lovett, who was head coach the past two seasons, and Joe Burke, who assisted Chris and was head coach from 2009-2019, have stepped down after meeting with the team Jan. 19. Both are married and Burke has children ages 9 and 3. “In terms of time away from our families, it’s hard,” Burke said. “For me specifi cally I just feel like I’m starting to miss a lot and it’s probably the right time to step away. They’ll (MND players) will be OK. They’re young and strong. Certainly, today was a very, very hard day. I think MND volleyball’s going to be in good shape.” During their time together the Cougars were champions in 2011, 2013, 2014 and 2015 under Burke and this past season under Lovett. They were state runner-ups in 2016 and 2019. Lovett sent the following letter to parents Jan. 19: Joe and I just spent time with your daughters after school today and it is with great sadness that we informed them that we will not be returning to MNDVB next season. Joe and I sat down with Mark Schenkel back in May of 2020 to inform him that this past season would be our last no matter what the season looked like. Looking back at the season, I believe that it was meant to be.

Mount Notre Dame player Carly Hendrickson gets the ball over the net during their state championship volleyball game against Padua Franciscan.

We were meant to be together one last time…for us to face adversity together as a MNDVB family. For myself and Joe, MNDVB has been at the top of priorities for the past 12 years and we are grateful to have had the opportunity to continue the success of MNDVB, but more importantly, the opportunity to experience the strength, resolve and commitment of the young women who have come through the program. We are honored to be a part of the MNDVB program and privileged to call so many people family. As so many of you know, without our personal fam-

ilies’ support, none of this would have been possible and it is time for us to return that support in full. We want to thank our families, the MND athletic department and administration, our trainer Becca Lemmel and most importantly the players and parents of MNDVB, past and present. MNDVB has never been about one player, parent or one coach. It is about the program as a whole and the traditions that are passed down from player to player and parent to parent. That is why MNDVB has become the winningest volleyball program in Ohio. We know that

this program will continue moving onward and we look forward to watching it from the other side of the court. With a lot of sadness, but greater pride…thank you for the opportunity of a lifetime. Go Cougs Chris & Joe “We didn’t want to make the season about us,” Burke said. “We just wanted the girls to get all of their recognition. It just seems like it’s the right time. I’m honestly looking forward to the success of the program. We’ll still be around, but it’s just not having the commitment and being able to pop by and watch a game.” Added Mount Notre Dame athletic director Mark Schenkel, “I can’t thank them enough for all they have done for the volleyball program over the years. We were extremely lucky to have them leading our program for so long. We’re really going to miss them.” Moving forward, there will now be an open application process for the Mount Notre Dame head volleyball coaching position. All resumes should go to the assistant athletic director, Keith Schenkel (kschenkel@mndhs.org), by Feb. 1. A selection committee is currently being put together for the interview process and all information regarding the future hire will come from the athletic offi ce. The Cougars are slated to return four juniors, two sophomores and a freshman from the most recent varsity squad. That would include All-State outside hitter Carly Hendrickson who has committed to play at the University of Florida.

sometimes would contain uncomfortable rocks. The new facility will off er convenience and be enticing to future and former Cavaliers to see. The ground will have to be leveled before the fi eld, the stands and the lights can be installed The project is still in Phase 1, according to Dowdy.

SYMMES TOWNSHIP — CHCA football has added former Kings High School head coach Andy Olds to its coaching staff , the school announced Jan. 14. Olds spent 21 seasons as the head coach at Kings before retiring following the 2018 season. He led the Knights to 14 playoff appearances, 13 conference championships and racked up over 170 career wins. In his fi nal season in 2018, Olds led Kings to a 9-2 record, an outright Eastern Cincinnati Conference championship and won the Paul Brown

A formal groundbreaking is ahead and certainly a campaign for funds. Obviously, once demolition of the stadium property starts and construction begins, the practice fi eld space will also go away with eff orts moved to the new fi eld. “We’ll break ground on it this year,” Dowdy said. “We’ve always been travelers having to play here and play there. An opportunity for us to bring sports on campus is good for the school. It’s even better for our kids. Our kids have a place to call home now, a place they can take pride in and really own.”

Excellence in Coaching Award. “CHCA football and athletics as a whole is going to be better because of Coach Olds. No one builds into young men better. He develops men of character and leaders on and off the fi eld. I can’t wait to see Coach Olds pour into our Eagles,” athletic director Eric Taylor said in a tweet. Taylor confi rmed to The Enquirer that Olds does not yet have an offi cial title. Olds will join the staff of KC Woods, who just fi nished his fi rst season with the Eagles with a 6-2 record and a playoff victory. He was named the Miami Valley Conference scarlet division

Last season’s 4-5 record was as close as the Cavaliers have been to a winning mark in some time. It also included a pair of playoff victories. Dowdy’s hope is that some of the young players get to experience more wins, particularly in the new facility. “It’s a very exciting time over here on Hackberry (Street),” Dowdy said. “You look at the neighboring schools around us. They all have the facilities and fi elds on campus. For us to have this it’s pretty big for our kids and the kids coming.”

coach of the year. “I am so excited to add one of the Cincinnati’s area’s most highly regarded coaches to our staff at CHCA,” Woods told The Enquirer. “Andy Olds did an unbelievable job in his 21 years as the head football coach at Kings High School. Everyone that I’ve talked to has had nothing but amazing things to say about Coach Olds. He is highly regarded, not just as a football coach, but as a developer of young people and fi ts our mission at CHCA perfectly.” CHCA has not had a losing campaign this century (180-46 over 20 consecutive winning seasons) and has made the playoff s in 12 straight years.

City of Loveland receives budget award The Government Finance Offi cers Association (GFOA) has awarded the City of Loveland, Ohio, its Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the fi scal year beginning Jan. 1, 2020. The award is considered a signifi cant achievement amongst government entities, refl ecting the commitment of city staff to meet the highest principles of governmental budgeting. In order to receive the budget award, the city had to satisfy nationally recognized guidelines for eff ective budget presentation. These guidelines are designed to assess how well a budget serves as a policy document, a fi nancial plan, an operations guide, and a communications device. In these four categories, budget documents must be rated “profi cient.” Additionally, within each category, there are 14 mandatory criteria that must be met. Byrde As part of the award, a Certifi cate of Recognition for Budget Presentation was granted to Michelle Byrde, the city’s former Director of Finance. Byrde retired from her position in December 2020 after six years. During her tenure, the city received multiple awards for budgeting and fi nancial reporting. “Michelle was a great steward of the city’s fi nances and one of the hardest workers I have ever had the privilege to work with,” said David Kennedy, Loveland City Manager. To learn more about the City of Loveland’s Finance Department and view the city’s 2021 budget, please visit http://lovelandoh.gov/169/Finance-Department. The Government Finance Offi cers Association (GFOA) advances excellence in government fi nance by providing best practices, professional development, resources and practical research for more than 20,500 members and the communities they serve. There are more than 1,600 participants in its Budget Awards Program. Krista Rose, City of Loveland

Successful community partnership informs Madisonville seniors For the fi rst time ever, 55 NORTH and the Madisonville Community Urban Redevelopment Corporation (MCURC) have partnered to create and provide Senior Resource Toolkits to local residents who are 55 and older through various community locations and by phone request. Last month, the two organizations gathered and shared essential information to better help older residents get through the winter.

“Aging community members are already dealing with winter isolation that is now compounded by the social distancing employed to prevent the spread of Covid-19,” said Elishia Chamberlain, MPA, Executive Director, MCURC. “Beyond stressors, many also face fi nancial hardships that can be alleviated just by having resources readily available.” The two community partners organized the information into an easy-to-use Senior Resource Toolkit and then distributed 500 of them to people in need. “We are proud to be part of creating and providing the Senior Resource Toolkits to our neighbors in Madisonville in conjunction with MCURC,” said Shelley Goering, 55 NORTH Executive Director. “It is a great way to get important information into the hands of seniors who need it.” For example, one important resource included in each Toolkit is information about 55 NORTH’s Digital Connect, a program that provides eligible seniors internet access, a computer tablet and ongoing technology support at no cost. For more information about 55 NORTH, call 513-3216818 or visit https://www.55NORTH.org/. For MCURC, call 513-271-2495 or visit https://www.mcurc.org/. Pepper Peale, 55 NORTH

Meals on Wheels volunteers needed Maple Knoll Communities is looking for about 10 more volunteers to serve people in its Meals on Wheels program, who are growing in number … “As the elderly population continues to grow, so does the need for Meals on Wheels services in the Cincinnati suburbs,” said Megan Ulrich, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development for Maple Knoll. “Whether it is due to an inability to prepare meals, shop for groceries or a lack of outside support, it is comforting to know assistance is available to them when they need it.” Maple Knoll now is concentrating on Meals on Wheels and its transportation program, which Maple Knoll off ers from its campus at 11275 Springfi eld Pike in Springdale. Meanwhile, Ulrich said Maple Knoll volunteers and staff provided more than 9,000 rides for 519 clients in the past year. During that time, they delivered over 80,500 meals to 451 clients, Ulrich said. Maple Knoll expects those numbers to grow. “I think Meals on Wheels is a great cause. I like providing for people who cannot get out and get it themselves,” said Theresa Gregg of Deer Park, who is one of 85 volunteers currently delivering dinners. “I’ve become friends with all my clients over the years I’ve been a volunteer for Maple Knoll.” Joyce Viox of Blue Ash says the Meals on Wheels she receives allow her to remain in her own home. “I don’t know what I’d do without it; it’s a good solid meal every day that I’m unable to cook for myself anymore,” Viox said. “The drivers are so nice. They take the time to talk to me and when you’re alone a lot that is so important.” Visit www.mkoutreach.org for information about Maple Knoll programs. To volunteer, email gfi elder@mkcommunities.org or call 686-1010. Megan Ulrich, Maple Knoll Communities, Inc.

Beech Acres Program receives threefold increase in Funding from L&L Nippert Charitable Foundation Parent Connext, a Beech Acres Parenting Center program that connects parents with individualized parenting support through a visit to or referral from a pediatrician, has received a generous $150,000 grant from the L&L Nippert Charitable Foundation, which is tripling its funding for the program because of the impact the pandemic is having on parents. “This tremendous investment from the L&L Nippert Charitable Foundation will ensure that parents continue to receive the help they need to support their children during this unprecedented, challenging time,” said Jill Huynh, vice president of new business development & Parent Connext, Beech Acres. “Parents are enduring incredible levels of stress, and the oneon-one coaching sessions from Parent Connext are helping them to become stronger parents, provide a safe environment for their children and build family resilience.” Parent Connext places Beech Acres Parenting Specialists with eight TriHealth Pediatrics locations through a grant from bi3, from Mental Health Recovery Board Serving Warren & Clinton Counties and at Pediatric Associates of Northern Kentucky. Conveniently embedded in pediatric offi ces before the pandemic, Beech Acres Parenting Specialists have shifted their screening and coaching sessions to a telehealth approach to adjust to social distancing guidelines. More than 20,000 families have been screened through the program. The specialists help pediatri-

cians by screening for Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), which have the potential to impact long-term mental health, physical health, and behaviors, including smoking, alcoholism, drug use, missed work, depression, suicide attempts, heart disease, diabetes, severe obesity, cancer and stroke. People with a large number of ACEs can even have shorter life expectancy. Published research indicates that Cincinnati has a higher average number of children who experience ACEs than children elsewhere in Ohio or the U.S. Meanwhile, the eff ects of a diffi cult year in 2020 led to high levels of stress for parents, which creates additional ACEs for children. “Reducing ACEs translates to better prospects for the healthy development of children as they grow older. So Parent Connext is leading to stronger children and families, improved mental and physical health, and increased self-suffi ciency,” Huynh said. Telehealth appointments for Parent Connext during the pandemic have brought more fulfi lling experiences for parents. Appointment no-shows have dropped signifi cantly, and the parent attendance rate has jumped to 90 percent of all scheduled appointments. With telehealth, Beech Acres specialists can see families in their home settings, meet more of the family, and even witness certain family behaviors. Telehealth also removed barriers to coaching sessions such as transportation and childcare. Peter Osborne

The Jewish Hospital - Mercy Health receives an A Grade in hospital safety The Jewish Hospital – Mercy Health was awarded an A in the fall 2020 Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade, a national distinction recognizing the hospital’s achievements protecting patients from harm and providing safer health care. “Our team of dedicated and compassionate caregivers works non-stop to give our patients the very best quality care. It’s particularly gratifying to have a third party validate the excellence our work, especially during a pandemic. I tell my team how much their work means to our patients and their families and I was delighted to share this recognition with them,” said The Jewish Hospital President Pat Davis-Hagens. “We are extremely grateful to hospital leadership and health care workers who have remained steadfast in prioritizing patient safety as our nation battles COVID-19,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “This A is a testament to the care and commitment of those who work for The Jewish Hospital. With the current pandemic exposing existing fl aws within the U.S. health care system, we appreciate you putting patient safety fi rst. Lives depend on it.” Developed under the guidance of a national Expert Panel, the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade uses up to 27 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to assign grades to more than 2,600 U.S. acute-care hospitals twice per year. The Hospital Safety Grade’s methodology is peer-reviewed and fully transparent, and the results are free to the public. The Jewish Hospital was awarded an ‘A’ grade when Leapfrog updated grades for fall 2020. To see The Jewish Hospital’s full grade details and access patient tips for staying safe in the hospital, visit hospitalsafetygrade.org and follow The Leapfrog Group on Twitter and Facebook. The Leapfrog Group is an independent national watchdog organization committed to health care quality and safety. The Safety Grade assigns an A, B, C, D or ‘F’ grade to all general hospitals across the country and is updated every six months. It is based on a hospital’s performance in preventing medical errors, injuries, accidents, infections and other harms to patients in their care. Nanette Bentley, Mercy Health

Obituaries Dorothy Jane McHarg Dorothy Jane McHarg, 78, passed away on January 11, 2021, at her home in Homosassa, Florida. Jane lived with abundant kindness and open-heartedness. She cared untiringly for family and friends, and her friendships endured through the years and over the miles. Jane cherished traditions, and she carried forward the stories and memories of her family in handmade quilts and Christmas ornaments, in recipes and homemade cookbooks. She found happiness in painting, puzzles, and cultivating gardens. She appreciated learning and hard work, and as long as she was able, Jane was forever providing for others before tending to herself. Jane was born in 1942 to Ava and Clyde Bauer in Loveland, Ohio. Thomas, her husband of 53 years, and her brother Paul preceded her in passing. She is survived by her sister Wilma, brother Charles and his wife Bonnie Rae, and son Hugh. Always practical, considerate, and careful, Jane would not want her loved ones to risk gathering until it’s safe for everyone. Celebrations of her life will take place later this spring in Florida and Ohio. As Jane greeted every stray cat, dog, fox, raccoon, and opossum that she ever encountered with much food and compassion, the family suggests, in lieu of flowers or other considerations, a memorial donation to the Best Friends Animal Society at www.bestfriends.org. Jane visited the Best Friends sanctuary with her husband and son, and it was among her most joyful memories.

Muff aletta sandwich is ‘so good for a party, or can stand on its own as a meal’ Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

Looking at the calendar, I see the Super Bowl is coming up. I miss the big gatherings we’ve had at our home through the years. Yes, the house was crowded and yes, the kitchen got messy, but a small price to pay for comaraderie and good food. Are you feeling the same way? You and I know we have to keep our spirits up and still celebrate whatever comes our way, no matter how small. And food will play a part. This muff aletta sandwich is so good for a party, or can stand on its own as a meal or even as a side to a simple soup or chili. Check out my tip for taming the bite of any onion. Simple and eff ective!

Muffaletta is a great dish to enjoy while watching the Super Bowl.

Take the bite out of onions! Put slices in ice water for 20 minutes to several hours, then drain.

Tips from reader’s kitchens: convection oven vs standard Jennifer R. made my holiday roast in her convection oven. “It came to temperature faster than recipe stated,” she said. A convection oven cooks by allowing hot moving air to surround food, causing it to cook faster. Thanks, Jennifer!

Pandemic cooking: What’s your favorite/tried & true or new recipe? Is it a vintage recipe, like tapioca, that friend and colleague Lisa Mauch and her mom, Nancy made? What about substitutions? Any good tips there? Let me know and I’ll share in this column.

SCHOOL NEWS The student experience: Indian Hill High School Mock Trial The stories about auditioning for this club are almost as famous as the actual club … almost. From singing and dancing, to trying new accents or memorizing a famous speech, students trying out for this prestigious club have tried it all. Some make it, but unfortunately, others don’t. Year after year, this group of dedicated students have made local and even national headlines, winning competition after competition, and getting recognized for their tremendous eff orts. If you don’t already know what club I’m referring to, it’s Indian Hill High School’s very own Mock Trial team. After gaining much acclaim, this October, Yale University invited a group of upperclassmen – Ethan Marx, Sydney Poffenberger, Brooke Youngblood, Audrey Bristol, Sarah Motawi, Tacey Hutten and Claire Hardek – for the fi rst time ever, to compete in their Bulldog Invitational. The team fought well, and as expected, pulled out on top. But, what really goes on behind the scenes? And, how do they earn their victories time and time again? I had the pleasure of exchanging emails with junior Tacey Hutten about their pre-competition routine. It turns out Mock Trial Team members dedicate at least six to nine hours of practice a week, balancing not only immediate homework assignments, but also other extracurricular activities as well. To practice for competition, the team spends weeks reading case materials and discussing the argument each witness and attorney will make. The majority of the season is made up of continuous writing, editing, memorization, and practice. “We understand each other’s individual strengths and weaknesses so well,” Hutten explained. “After playing together for a few seasons, we have a pretty good understanding of how each person writes, acts, and presents, which makes it so much easier to create characters and case theories that complement our abilities well.” Although some teams take time to bond together, Hutten recalls that their team clicked pretty instantly. Having played together many times before their Yale competition, they were

able to start working right away. Further, she says that the group has become close friends due to Mock Trial, extending their friendship beyond the club. Overall, Hutten’s favorite memories about Mock Trial include spending time with the people. “The community we have within this program and team is really unique and something I’m grateful to be a part of,” said Hutten, despite practice and competition that she said can feel overwhelming.
