Samantha Davis, 28, pictured March 1, sits between her attorneys during her trial in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court. Davis faces aggravated vehicular homicide charges after she is alleged to have been driving a pickup that plummeted from an overpass onto Interstate 71, crushing a car below and killing a woman and her daughter on Aug. 6, 2016.

‘It was utter chaos’

Pickup in fatal crash seemed to fall out of the sky Prosecutors say Davis was driving recklessly, under the inﬂ uence of drugs in 2016 crash Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Eyewitnesses said it was like a movie: The pickup seemed to fall out of the sky. It landed on a car heading south on Interstate 71, crushing the car and killing the two women inside. The impact was so violent, a wheel came oﬀ the pickup and embedded in the Nissan Altima’s hood.

Katherine Patterson was a passenger in a car one lane over. "That was almost us," she said she thought. Samantha Bullock was a passenger in another nearby vehicle. Her husband was driving. Her two young daughters were in the back seat. The noise of the Dodge Ram pickup hitting the Altima “was just so loud,” Bullock recently testiﬁ ed in the trial of the woman who had been driving the pickup. One of its wheels, Bullock recalled, ﬂ ew toward her side of the vehicle. She put up her arms in front of her face, bracing for the impact. But her husband was able to swerve

in time, and the wheel went past her door. Testimony in the trial of 28-yearold Samantha Davis – which recently began in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court – has revealed previously unheard accounts of the Aug. 6, 2016 crash. Prosecutors say Davis was driving recklessly and was under the inﬂ uence of drugs as she rushed to her job as a server at Scrambler Marie’s, a Sharonville restaurant. Her shift started at 8 a.m., according to testimony. Davis' attorneys say what happened was a tragic accident. See CRASH, Page 2A

Defense: Bad tire sent pickup over bridge Kevin Grasha Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

It’s not clear what caused Samantha Davis to lose control of her pickup before it “ramped off ” an overpass and crushed a car on the highway below. Davis, herself, has incomplete memories of the Aug. 6, 2016 crash. She said she remembers hearing a noise and “feeling something.” She testifi ed last week she tried to keep the steering wheel straight, but “it was like it had a mind of its own.” An eyewitness, a state trooper, testifi ed that it seemed like Davis steered directly into the concrete wall of the overpass. At some point, Davis was ejected. The pickup fl ew 90 feet to Interstate 71, landing on a car, killing Sandra Tell and her daughter, Sabrina Miller. In a 911 call played for the jury in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court, a male caller said a vehicle "ramped off the bridge." Prosecutors said Davis, 28, was driving recklessly that morning and was un-

er said in closing arguments Thursday. "Or is she somebody that just likes to get high?" Davis’ attorney, Philip Stephens, said Thursday that a damaged tire on the rusting, 1995 Dodge Ram caused the crash. Either the morning of the crash or a few days before – Davis’ statements to police and her testimony diﬀ ered – the tire had been repaired with an aerosol product called Fix-a-Flat. Stephens said a mark found on the left side of the overpass was consistent with some kind of tire malfunction. “This accident was an awful, horrible tragedy that did horrible things to people who did not deserve it,” he told jurors during closing arguments. Davis, then a server at a Sharonville restaurant, was driving to work that morning from her mother's home in Norwood, where she was living.

Loveland suspended its public works director for using city equipment on a side job and a second employee for destroying public records after blowing the whistle on the director. Now, Public Works Director Scott Wisby may sue Jason Brock, a crew leader in his department who touched off Loveland’s investigation of Wisby by leaving an anonymous letter of accusations on the city manager’s desk last October. And Loveland is making security and equipment-tracking changes in the public works department that will cost taxpayers about $19,000. The city said nothing publicly when it suspended Wisby for two weeks without pay last fall, and little in February when Brock emailed Loveland residents with his accusations – including some the city determined were false or could not be corroborated. In an unsigned statement posted on its website Feb. 14, Loveland said it took unspecifi ed disciplinary action against a public works employee it does not name for deeds it does not disclose due to privacy concerns. Information gathered by The Enquirer in Open Records requests shows the employee disciplined was Wisby and that he was suspended Nov. 7 after admitting he used a city painting machine mounted on a city trailer to stripe a commercial parking lot in Loveland on two days that his side business, Scott’s Blacktop Sealing, was sealing the lot. Wisby had also been suspended last Oct. 15 after admitting he “borrowed” a city riding mower he said was no longer used and — for just an hour – a city ballfi eld rake. Both were for personal use. Loveland’s Feb. 14 website statement also said the city is instituting undisclosed safeguards to prevent misconduct in the future. The Open Records paperwork shows Loveland decided to make changes that include: ❚ Installing a new security gate and video surveillance system at the public works campus at 10980 Loveland Madeira Road. ❚ See LOVELAND, Page 2A

Crash Continued from Page 1A

At about 7:50 a.m., Davis was on the ramp from northbound I-71 to I-275 west, in Montgomery, when she apparently lost control, struck a concrete barrier and was ejected from the Dodge Ram. The pickup, without anyone inside, then went over the overpass barrier and plummeted to the highway. At that exact moment, 67year-old Sandra Tell and her daughter, 41-year-old Sabrina Miller, were heading south in the middle of three lanes, approaching the overpass. Patterson, a high school teacher from Xenia, testiﬁ ed that Tell and Miller hadn’t done anything wrong in the moments before their lives were cut short.

cocet pills, half a Xanax, and a straw inside the multiple bras Davis was wearing. Prosecutors suggested the undergarments were intended to conceal her drug use at work. Prosecutors also pointed to testimony from a toxicologist who said the amount drugs found in her system was consistent with being impaired. “The drugs that she took aﬀ ected her ability to react…to perceive a

“They were just driving straight,” she said. They were headed to the University of Cincinnati for the graduation of Miller's daughter who was Tell's granddaughter. Other family members were driving separately in other vehicles. The impact sent both the car and the pickup to the right side of the highway, where they ended up about 50 feet apart. Montgomery police Sgt. Mike Plaatje was the fi rst emergency responder at the scene. “It was utter chaos,” Plaatje testifi ed. Debris was everywhere, he said. Numerous cars had pulled over. Bullock, a labor and delivery nurse from Beavercreek, said she fi rst checked on her daughters, who then were 2 and 4 years old. They were in the back seat holding hands, confused by every-

thing that had just happened. Bullock ran to Tell and Miller’s car. The driver’s side, where Tell was, was badly crushed. "I couldn't see the driver," Bullock said. She went to the passenger side, where Miller was: “I remember shaking her shoulder." "Ma'am, are you OK?" she asked. Bullock checked for a pulse. There wasn’t one. “She looked like she was sleeping. Just really limp,” Bullock said. A man who said he was an emergency room nurse went to the driver's side. Meanwhile, on the overpass, people were tending to Davis, whose head was bleeding and who had severe abrasions from being thrown across the pavement. Because there were two

scenes – one on the overpass and the second in I-71 below – 911 dispatchers received calls about both. That led to confusion about the location of the crash and what exactly happened. Firefi ghters, in fact, initially searched nearby woods for the driver of the pickup. They assumed that was where the person who had been ejected ended up. Plaatje, who has about three decades of experience, and Montgomery fi re Lt. Thomas Wolf, with four decades, both testifi ed they'd never heard of a vehicle going over the overpass. “All the years I’ve worked there, I’ve never had that happen,” Wolf testifi ed.

Works Department at a total cost of about $19,000,” Loveland told The Enquirer. Brock, who eventually revealed himself to administrators as the author of the anonymous letter against Wisby, has been dissatisﬁ ed with the city’s investigation and provided Loveland with more information multiple times. That led to Wisby being suspended on two separate occasions. Brock also contacted county prosecutors, state auditor and ethics oﬃ cials and the news media with his accusations, saying the city failed to conduct an adequate investigation. The government agencies contacted either referred the matter to Loveland or said it was outside their jurisdiction. “City residents can be assured that the city will continue to protect the interests of our taxpayers, will not ignore claims of wrongdoing, and will continue to treat all of our employees justly within the bounds of fairness and due process as we continue to review the matter as warranted," Loveland

said in its Feb. 14 website post. Brock got into hot water with Loveland when he told city oﬃ cials he deleted emails he sent from his private account to more than 10 and less than 100 Loveland residents with his accusations against Wisby, Open Records paperwork shows. The city said the emails are public records, that Loveland needed them to respond to Open Records requests and that Brock should have known better than to delete them because he’d participated in the city’s mandatory public-records training. Kennedy suspended him for two days without pay beginning Feb. 28. Brock could not be reached for comment, but said in his email to Loveland residents that, “I tried to do the right thing, but now I am being portrayed as a liar after the director’s job. “I do not want his job.” Elizabeth Tuck Loring, a downtown CincinSee LOVELAND, Page 4A

Loveland reviewing employee side business Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

While Loveland has yet to decide whether to allow its public works director to continue operating a side business, one thing is clear: Director Scott Wisby will no longer be using equipment from his blacktop-sealing business on city jobs. Loveland suspended Wisby for two weeks without pay last fall after he borrowed city equipment for his personal and professional use. Records obtained by The Enquirershow Loveland City Manager Dave Kennedy told Wisby in a Nov. 12 memo that Wisby was to stop using his own equipment on city jobs. Loveland does not own blacktop-sealing equipment and knew Wisby would occasionally use his own for city work. Loveland has not decided whether it will in the future buy sealing equipment, rent it or contract for the work. Wisby said in an email to The Enquirer that he has used his own sealing equipment on every parking lot in the city’s parks at least once in the past six years.The practice saved the city money. “I enjoyed doing it; it was a cost and

nati attorney whom Wisby contacted about possibly suing Brock, is skeptical. “(Wisby) recognizes that he made a mistake and he’s been appropriately disciplined for it. The matter should be over, but it seems Mr. Brock didn’t want it to be over,” Tuck Loring said. “I believe that this might be motivated by an attempt to force Mr. Wisby out of his job so Mr. Brock could take it.

infrastructure savings to the city,” Wisby said. Kennedy also told Wisby in the Nov. 12 memo that Wisby should have asked permission from the city manager’s oﬃ ce to operate his side business, Scott’s Blacktop Sealing. A city policy requires employees to get permission to operate outside businesses to guard against potential conﬂ icts of interest. Wisby, who has been public works di-

rector since 2010, has submitted a request for permission that is under review. Loveland could approve the request with conditions. Wisby said the city has known from the start that he has a side business, but never before told him to ask permission to operate it. Wisby, who was deputy director of the public works department from 2007 to 2010, had never been disciplined before last fall.

he was dissatisﬁ ed with the city’s thorough and fair investigation, he took it upon himself to manufacture claims against my client. “We’re evaluating the damage that Mr. Brock has already done to Mr. Wisby’s professional reputation and his personal reputation, and if the only way to ensure that the truth is told and that his reputation is repaired is to engage in a lawsuit, then that’s something that he has to consider,” Tuck Loring said. Meanwhile, City Manager Dave Kennedy told Wisby in a Nov. 12 memo that Wisby was to stop using his own equip-

ment on city jobs – a practice that saved Loveland money. The city told The Enquirer that Loveland was aware that Wisby would occasionally use his own sealing equipment, which Loveland does not own, for city work. “The city has not determined yet if it will rent a sealer, buy a sealer, or contract out the work for future sealing projects,” Loveland said. Wisby said in an email to The Enquirer that he has sealed all the parking lots for city parks at least once over the last six years with his own equipment.

That’s when Wisby told Loveland offi cials that he used a city painting machine mounted on a city trailer to stripe a parking lot that his business sealed. He also said he took a city riding mower and a city ballfi eld rake home. Wisby made the admissions after Jason Brock, a crew leader in the public works department, told Loveland offi cials that his boss was using city equipment inappropriately. Brock accused Wisby of other misdeeds, which Loveland determined to be either false or uncorroborated. The matter became public when Brock, dissatisfi ed with the city investigation, emailed some Loveland residents last month with all his accusations against Wisby. That prompted the city to post a statement on its website assuring residents that it had taken disciplinary action where needed in the public works department. Wisby was not named. Kennedy subsequently suspended Brock for two days without pay for destroying public records. Brock told city offi cials he deleted emails he sent from his private account to Loveland residents with his accusations against Wisby,

“The city paid for the sealer, but now they will have to buy the equipment, which is about $15,000 new, or pay a contractor, which will be about 10 to 15 cents more a square foot,” Wisby said. “I enjoyed doing it; it was a cost and infrastructure savings to the city.” Kennedy also told Wisby in the Nov. 12 memo that Wisby should have asked permission from the city manager’s oﬃ ce to operate a side business, in accordance with a Loveland policy designed to guard against conﬂ icts of interest. A request is pending.

Celebrate holiday with corned beef and cabbage Moist and buttery soda bread

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

I use my food processor, but you can use a mixer or by hand.

If I didn’t look at the calendar, I would still know St. Patrick’s Day is coming up. That’s because in the grocery stores corned beef is front and center in the meat aisle. This year I used my instant pot for cooking the corned beef. Wow. The beef was done in an hour and 15 minutes (it would have taken a minimum of 4 hours in the slow cooker). I took the meat out and then cooked the cabbage, carrots and potatoes for about 6 minutes. The instant pot has hit mainstream kitchens in a big way. Northern Kentucky reader Nicole Morgan is a fan, and so is friend Carol Vanover, an Indiana reader – they both convinced me to try the pot (check out their recipes on my site). The instant pot is a multi-cooker that’s also a slow cooker, electric pressure cooker, sauté/browning pan, rice cooker, and more. So far all I’ve used it as a pressure cooker. As I evolve with it, I’ll share more recipes using other features. Now if you want, you can always use the regular slow cooker for this recipe, just put the vegetables in the slow cooker ﬁ rst with the meat on top, and cook on low 8-10 hours or high 4-6. And because I’ve gotten a couple requests for my special soda bread, which has been shared before, that’s here too. Happy St. Pat’s Day.

Prominent lawyer is investigating Kyle Plush’s death Teen suﬀ ocated inside van despite 911 calls for help Jennifer Edwards Baker Fox19

A prominent civil rights attorney is looking the death of Kyle Plush and how Cincinnati police and call takers responded to the teen’s 911 calls for help. “We are investigating,” Al Gerhardstein said Tuesday March 5, declining further comment. His law ﬁ rm ﬁ led a public records request Jan. 23 with the Cincinnati Police Department seeking all records related to the teen’s April 2018 death including

but not limited to logs, reports, correspondence, messages, notes, recordings, body camera recordings, audio recordings, dash camera Plush recordings, calls for service, complaints, investigations, interviews, emails, recordings from Seven Hills School, Kyle Plush cell phone records and analytics and witness statements, a copy of the request shows. His oﬃ ce also seeks records to problems with Cincinnati Emergency Communications Section 911 center or police response to calls for service to ECS or 911 from Jan 1 2016 to present, city records show.

Kyle Plush suﬀ ocated to death inside his van at Seven Hills School in Madisonville despite calling Cincinnati's 911 center twice for help. He was not found for hours. His father ﬁ nally located him in the van when he went looking for his son after he didn’t return home from school. Kyle’s family was deeply troubled and upset with independent assessments released late last year that analyzed how the city’s 911 call takers and Cincinnati Police Department responded to his calls for help. His wife, Jill Plush, told Council “This report is not enough!" She called for “good technology”, dedicated employees and “the process,

and I think that’s where the breakdown was, the process. ..When you don’t have strong leadership, everything below it crumbles.” Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters also conducted a separate probe into Kyle’s death and said no criminal charges would be ﬁ led. Cincinnati City Council turned to an outside investigation after they and the Plush family were less than impressed by Cincinnati Police’s probe. It fell short of answering critical questions and City Council members and the Plush family had to pull more information out by asking a series of questions and holding more meetings.

Spring is surely coming: Loveland Dairy Whip has opened Chuck Gibson | Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

On Thursday afternoon Feb. 28, there was nary a soul to be seen outside the Loveland Dairy Whip in Loveland. Not one person in line outside the walk-up window, not one car waiting to place an order for ice cream at the drivethru window. The window down and a “Closed” sign are sad reminders it is still winter in Ohio. Oh what a diff erence a day makes when February turns to March. It was a diff erent story shortly before 1 p.m. Friday, March 1, at Loveland Dairy Whip on West Loveland Avenue. Teens walked down the hill following early dismissal from Loveland Schools and lined up at both walk-up windows eager for a taste of spring. A car idled near the drive-thru window with mom at the wheel, daughter and her friend in the back seat anticipating their fi rst cone of

Loveland’s own Opening Day This is tradition,” said Todd Osborne, arguably the number one fan of Loveland Dairy Whip. “The LDW has been here forever and will always be here.” Osborne grew up in Loveland and was serving on Loveland Council in 2010 when the dairy whip celebrated 55 years in Loveland. There was a big gathering of his former classmates for the fi nal day of the ice cream season that year. That led to him beginning a countdown to Opening Day each January which, in turn, led to a battle for who would be fi rst in line to get the fi rst cone. It started out as a contest between Osborne and current school board president Art Jarvis. The last couple years it has been Loveland students like Austin Kaiser and Colin Cathey who took fi rst spot in line at 12:55 – slightly

DAYTON – The Purcell Marian boys basketball team takes as much pride in its defense as it does in the fi lling the bucket on the other end. A staunch defensive eff ort carried the Cavaliers to a fourth-straight dominant postseason. Purcell Marian salvaged the lone Cincinnati win in a quadruple-header of Division III district championship action Sunday at the University of Dayton Arena. The Cavaliers rolled past National Trail out of New Paris, 51-31. The Cavaliers (22-4) play Versailles in a regional semifi nal 5:30 p.m. Wednesday night. Trail fi nishes 19-6. Purcell has allowed an average of 28 points per game in the tournament. “We spend a lot of time trying to be good on defense,” Purcell Marian head coach Scott Kerr said. “We probably do that to the detriment of our off ense. Our shooting wasn’t real solid. GCL basketball is about defense, playing hard, taking care of the basketball. We’ll keep doing that and try to win a few more games.” See PURCELL MARIAN, Page 2B

Deer Park falls to Dayton Stivers in DIII district title game Shelby Dermer | Cincinnati Enquirer | USA TODAY NETWORK

DAYTON - Last season, the trip to University of Dayton was a breeze for Deer Park as they handled Dayton Stivers for a district championship, 72-63, en route to a perfect season and the school’s fi rst-ever state basketball championship. On Sunday, though, the script was fl ipped as it was Stivers, using its high-octane off ense with a plethora of scorers, went toe-to-toe with the defending champs and pulled away to a 76-62 victory to send the Wildcats home early. The loss was highlighted by Deer Park’s inability to connect from the free-throw line, which especially hurt late in the fourth quarter when the Wildcats were desperate to keep chipping into the Tigers’ modest lead.

“We just didn’t do the little things tonight,” Deer Park head coach Steve Gentry Sr. said. “We didn’t make free throws, we didn’t take care of the ball, we missed key rebounds, didn’t box out. When you don’t do these things, it’s a recipe for disaster. The little things beat us tonight.” Deer Park went 15-for-36 (41.7 percent) from the charity stripe and shot just 37.3 percent from the ﬁ eld. “We practice free throws a lot, and for us to do that as a team, it’s uncharacteristic and it’s disappointing,” junior Steve Gentry Jr. said. Southwest District Division III Player of the Year Mark Wise scored a game-high 24 points and added 15 rebounds for his seventh double-double of the year. But the junior struggled mightily at the line, going 2-for-15 and missing all 13 of his second-half attempts. With Deer Park trailing 64-47 with 3:43 remaining,

Wise missed four straight over a 32-second span that led to Stivers putting the game away with a 12-2 stretch. Stivers was led by junior Trevon Ellis, who registered his second-straight triple-double with 17 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds. Fellow Da’Juan Allen had a team-high 19 points and the Tigers also got doubledigit eff orts from sophomore guards Allen Latimore and Antonio Aubrey. The Tigers also turned in a subpar performance at the free-throw line (10-for-23), but made up for it by shooting 57.4 percent from the fi eld. The fi rst half was one-sided at times, with each team seizing momentum with dominating stretches that kept the scoreboard in limbo. Stivers got fi ve consecutive points from Ellis to See DEER PARK, Page 2B

Is instant replay coming to high school football? Melanie Laughman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Instant replay could be coming to Ohio high school football playoff games, after the National Federation of State High School Associations recently adopted rules revisions that allow for it. Among seven rule changes, the NFHS Football Rules Committee's recommendations allow state association members to create instant-replay procedures for state postseason only. A Feb. 11 report on the NFHS website said this revision would allow game or replay offi cials to use a replay monitor to review game offi cials' on-fi eld decisions. The NFHS Board of Directors approved those seven recommendations. Ohio High School Athletic Association spokesman Tim Stried told the Willoughby News Herald, "If it's a national rule, then yes" when asked if the OHSAA will automatically adopt these rules. “The ultimate goal of each game offi cial and each offi ciating crew is to get the call correct,” said Todd Tharp, assistant director of the Iowa High School Athletic Association and chair of the NFHS Football Rules Committee, in the Feb. 11 report. “Each state association, by individual adoption, can now use replay or video monitoring during its respective postseason contests to review decisions by the on-fi eld game offi cials. Each state association, if it adopts this rules revision, will also create the parameters and scope of the replay.” The Enquirer's Shelby Dermer recently wrote an article where local coaches and the OHSAA weighed in about a high school shot clock in basketball.

Jaden Sanders lines up at cornerback for Sycamore. The game was played under the lights at Covington Catholic. ALEX VEHR/FOR ENQUIRER MEDIA

His article quoted a report from OHSAA executive director Jerry Snodgrass as saying Ohio would likely not go with a shot clock because of costs and because the NFHS hasn't adopted it. “Our schools want to play by NFHS rules. We are member-school driven and schools have the opportunity to change any and all of our rules in a fair process,” Snodgrass writes. “Members of the OHSAA are also voluntary members, so their agreement to be a member is also an agreement to play by the very rules they adopt.” Other adopted football rule changes: ❚ The play clock will start at 40 seconds instead of 25 in certain circumstances, including when the football has been ruled dead by an oﬃ cial after a down. ❚ New requirements for uniforms. ❚ A change in the deﬁ nition of a legal scrimmage. ❚ Tripping the runner is now prohibited. ❚ Horse-collar foul was expanded to included the name-plate area. ❚ A reduction in penalty for illegally kicking or batting the ball from 15 to 10 yards. The Enquirer will update this story.

The second half was played on an even keel as both teams took turns sprinting up and down the court and piling up points. Deer Park senior Ibrahima Athie, who missed the entire fi rst half, pulled the Wildcats to within six at 39-33 with 3:36 left in the third, but Stivers got another triple from Spears along with buckets from Doug Spear and Nazir Rolack to win the quarter, 2019, and take a 52-42 lead into the fi nal

Purcell took over in the second quarter, winning the period 14-3. Senior Alex Dotson had 11 points in the ﬁ rst half, the last two on a strong drive up the middle for a buzzer-beating layup. “It’s great. Back-to-back winning this,” Dotson said. “This year, we want to go all the way. We’re used to facing adversity. We have seven seniors, most of us have been here since freshman year so we know how to play with each other. We’re always going to stick together.” Javonta Lyons had seven points in the half. Purcell forced seven turnovers in the half and committed only one. AJ Garrett put Purcell ahead to stay right out of the locker room, scoring a layup then blocking a layup on the other end.

Despite the runner-up ﬁ nish, both coach and son were adamant about the program’s chances of bouncing back next season. “We try to go out and play hard for every game because we know everybody’s coming for us because we won state.

COMMUNITY NEWS ‘The Drowsy Chaperone’ tickets now on sale by Loveland Stage Company Tickets for Loveland Stage Company’s early spring production of “The Drowsy Chaperone” are now on sale. The show opened March 1 and continues through March 17. The theatre is located at 111 S. 2nd St. (Rt. 48), Loveland, 45140. The musical comedy, with music and lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison and Book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar, is the winner of ﬁ ve Tony Awards including Best Book and Best Original Score. The musical is directed by Carissa Sloan with choreography by Marjory Clegg. Jill Gornet is the producer. Orchestral Director is Jeanne Bilyeu and Musical Director is Brian Harvey. As the play opens, with the houselights down, a man in a chair appears on stage and puts on his favorite record: the cast recording of a factitious 1928 musical. The recording comes to life and “The Drowsy Chaperone” begins as the man in the chair looks on. Mix in two lovers on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theatre producer, a notso-bright hostess, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a misguided Don Juan and an intoxicated chaperone and you have the ingredients for an evening of Madcap delight. Hailed by New York Magazine as “The perfect Broadway musical,” “The Drowsy Chaperone” is a masterful meta-musical, poking fun at all the tropes that characterize the musical theatre genre. This hilarious show will also run March 9, 15 and 16 at 7:30 p.m. and March 10 and 17 at 3 p.m. Tickets are $20 and can be obtained at www.loveloandstagecompany.org.

CEI Foundation lauds Randolph as ‘Leader of Vision’ Carter Randolph is a “Renaissance man” who has stayed largely in the background of local philanthropy over the past 30 years. But despite his comfort at remaining an unsung hero, he was thrust into the spotlight and honored as the 2018 “Leader of Vision” at the Cincinnati Eye Institute Foundation’s (CEIF) “Feast for the Eyes” annual fundraiser at the Hilton Netherland Plaza. A Ph.D. holder, educator, entrepreneur, environmentalist, philanthropist and supporter of the arts, Randolph owns two companies: Planet Products Corp., a precision machining company, and The Randolph Company, an investment advisory fi rm, in Blue Ash. He’s also president of Greenacres Foundation in Indian Hill and the L&L Nippert Charitable Foundation, two legacy foundations of the late Louis and Louise Nippert. In 2018, Randolph oversaw more than $20 million in charitable support through the Nippert foundations. “Carter has directed funds to Cincinnati arts organizations that have helped make Cincinnati ballet, symphony, May Festival and opera programs fi nancially sustainable and among the best in the nation,” said Patrick Ward, president and CEO of the CEI Foundation. “He has also provided signifi cant support to the CEI Foundation’s community outreach and vision programs through the charitable funds he manages. He’s a quiet, behindthe-scenes leader who deserves to be recognized for all he has done for our foundation and the greater Cincinnati arts and education community.” More than 300 guests attended the fi fth annual CEI Foundation fundraiser, raising more than $100,000 to support its mission of community outreach, research and education programs. Board member and former Broadway performer Susan Emerson presented her “Ripple Effect” musical program. “Successful philanthropy is always performed for the good of the community and not for credit,” said Amy Jones, vice president of development for the CEI Foundation. “Whether it’s funding for the arts, operating the Greenacres Foundation, or investing the funds of the two Nippert foundations, Carter has displayed true leadership in fulfi lling and securing the Nippert’s legacy in perpetuity.” In 2019, CEIF celebrates its 10th year of providing community outreach, research and education for ophthalmologists. The foundation projects it will serve 2,700 eye patients at its four free, adult vision clinics located in West End; Price Hill; College Hill/North College Hill; and Middletown, Ohio. In 2018, it awarded $50,000 in seed funding through its Ignite Grant program to three universities for research into eye treatments and possible cures for eye disease. The foundation also continues support of three University of Cincinnati ophthalmology residents.

Dressed in blazers, button downs, and professional attire, the students were eager to show what it means to be Brave at the DECA District Competition. “The DECA District Competition is an opportunity for students to showcase their problem-solving skills in business and marketing by presenting ideas they have developed to professionals in the business while competing with other schools in the area,” said Indian Hill High School marketing teacher Susan Schonauer. Indian Hill High School DECA proved very successful as 50 out of the 67 students who participated in the District Competition are advancing to the State Competition held in Columbus during the weekend of March 16. “I loved seeing my friends competing and seeing their hard work pay off when they got to hold the trophy and advance to state,” said IHHS DECA Treasurer Brian Lewis.

After taking several practice tests, Zhuo-nan took the test for the ﬁ rst time in December, 2018. “I felt pretty comfortable that I did well,” Zhuo-nan said of his accomplishment. “I had a good feeling about it.” He recently found out how just well he did when he received notiﬁ cation about his perfect score. MHS Principal David Kennedy expressed his pride in Zhuo-nan’s achievement stating, “This is a spectacular achievement for Zhuo-nan. His commitment to academics has been impressive among all the other extracurricular activities he is engaged in at Madeira High School. We are excited to see what his future holds and what he will be able to accomplish.”” Zhuo-nan is in the Marching Band at Madeira, and the Latin Club and Academic Team. With another year of high school ahead of him his future plans aren’t yet determined, but said he will possibly go into Engineering. Diane Nichols

Plea for mental illness awareness wins rotary speech competition A student’s chilling plea for understanding of mental illness won the Rotary Club of Cincinnati’s 4-Way Speech Contest on Feb. 28. Karrington Rainey, senior at Clark Montessori High School, will now represent Greater Cincinnati in the Rotary Southwest Ohio District speech competition on March 31 at Wright State University in Dayton. Rainey, of Elmwood, told the crowd of more than 135 business and community leaders how her sister’s schizophrenia had impacted her (Karrington’ Rainey’s) life and expanded her understanding of others. “Imagine having a sister who hears voices telling her to kill you,” Rainey told the crowd of Rotary members and guests at the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza Hotel. Rainey said her understanding of and empathy for her sister grew as she learned more about mental illness, which aﬀ ects more 46.4 million people in the U.S. “Mental Illness is a chemical imbalance in the brain. It’s an illness,” Rainey said. “If I had something wrong with my arm or leg, everybody would want to sign my cast. But nobody wants to sign my depression pill bottle.” Awareness, Rainey said, leads to greater acceptance. “On a scale of one to 10, my sister used to irritate me at a 15,” she said. “Now it’s about a nine. I realized everything that irritated me about her was her illness.” Rainey’s speech drew a standing ovation. She was one of four high school speakers in the competition that challenges students to incorporate the Rotary’s “Four-Way Test” into a speech. The Four Way Test is an ethics standard, challenging Rotary members to assure

everything they think, say or do is the truth, is fair to all concerned, build’s goodwill and better friendships, and is benefi cial to all concerned. Other contestants included: Rikki Joiner of Springfi eld Township, a junior at Walnut Hills High School, who talked about social media, youth and politics; Kennedy Liggins of Monfort Heights, a junior at the School for Creative & Performing Arts, who talked about the dangers of an increasingly stressful environment; and Liam O’Shaughnessy of Wyoming, a freshman at Wyoming High School, who made a convincing argument for learning multiple languages to unite people and expand understanding. All four speakers receive cash prizes and a letter of recognition from the Rotary Club of Cincinnati. The district competition in March is the fi nal level in the speech competition. The district winner will speak at the Rotary Southwest Ohio District Conference, hosted in Cincinnati April by the Rotary Club of Cincinnati. The annual Four-Way Test speech competition is a collaboration of Rotary and local schools, said Laure Quinlivan, co-chair of the competition for the Rotary Club of Cincinnati. Rotary members began visiting the four schools in fall of 2018 to work with faculty advisers and encourage students to compete. Rotary members led coaching sessions with students and the Rotarians and faculty judged in-school competitions to choose the fi nal four. “Rotarians love helping students develop the skill that will serve them their whole lives - public speaking,” said “Quinlivan of Mt. Lookout. “It’s revealing to learn what teens really care about these days and their speeches make us laugh and cry,” she said. Her co-chair was Ed Mathis of White Oak. Judges for the contest were Cincinnati Public Schools board members Ozie Davis of Avondale and Melanie Bates of East Walnut Hills, Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati’s Producing Director D. Lynn Meyers of Westside and President of Cincinnati Toastmasters Polly Giblin of Mason. The Rotary Club of Cincinnati is a service and networking organization for business and community leaders. With close to 350 members, it is the largest and oldest Rotary Club in Greater Cincinnati. Peggy Hodgson
