What some parents tell their children to keep them alive Terry DeMio Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Fires will die out. Flash-bangs will stop. Stinging eyes and throats and the compulsion to gag and cough from pepper spray or tear gas will subside. The protests following the death of a 46-year-old African American man in the hands of Minneapolis police will end. The fear among parents for their African American children’s lives will not. “Unfortunately, I don’t believe that George Floyd will be the last one,” said Andi Johnson of Paddock Hills, the mother of a 17-year-old boy. And so the lessons that parents of African American children teach their kids about how to stay safe in America when they leave home will remain. Some Cincinnati-area parents recently talked to The Enquirer about what those potentially life-saving lessons look like in their homes. Their kids, ages 9 to 22, talked about what they’ve learned. “They might think you’re a criminal because you wear a hoodie,” said Caiden Stenson, 9, of Colerain Township. “I don’t get that.” “If you get pulled over, make sure you’re showing your hands,” said Johnson’s son, Owen Smith.

From when he was younger: “Don’t play with stuﬀ that could look like a weapon.” Owen, who graduated this week from Roger Bacon High School, spoke matterof-factly about the parent-imparted rules he’s heard repeatedly about staying out of danger while being African American.

“I think it’s important, because they want to make sure kids know how to keep themselves safe from an early age,” he said. “It’s heartbreaking,” his mother said. “And it’s a fact of life.” “To have him learn that being a young black man could be detrimental to his life,” she said, “that’s a hard conversation. “But it has to happen.” “The talk,” as several parents here referred to it, is actually a lot of conversations these Cincinnati parents have with their kids, all starting when their children were little. “We started talking to the boys about race when my oldest son was in kindergarten,” said Robyn Mahaﬀ ey, who with her husband, Jamie Mahaffey, of Colerain Township, is a teacher in Cincinnati Public Schools. That’s when their son Evan came home and asked if it was all right for a “brown person” to love a white person, she said. Since then, Robyn Mahaﬀ ey said, “It has been kind of embedded in daily life.” They have two boys, Eric, 13, and Evan, 16, and a daughter, Danielle, 19.

Tony Woldson had never been to Eli’s BBQ before, but decided that a 40-minute wait would be worth it. Woldson, 61, was one many that came out to eat at Eli’s BBQ on June 3 after the restaurant announced in a Facebook post that it would be off ering free meals to black people. “We’ve bought many lunches for Veterans, fi rst responders, and many others in our community. ... Tomorrow we would just like to do a very direct give back,” the post had said. The response to the off er was quick, with thousands of people liking, sharing and commenting on the Facebook post. And people showed up, too. Around noon, there were over 40 people waiting outside the Findlay Market location for their free meal. The crowd at Findlay varied in age, but most of the people were black. “When I fi rst saw what they were doing, I felt great about it,” said Peachy Jackson, 23. “But then I thought about it. What’s their intentions, do they not want their business broken into? Is this white guilt?” See ELI’S BBQ, Page 2A

Sophia Zou spent her 16th birthday making masks for senior citizens. When the pandemic fi rst started Zou looked for a way to help and took to YouTube to learn how to make masks. For her birthday, which was May 18, she asked her parents to buy fabric and elastic. “I felt so bad for the people that were aff ected and could be aff ected,” Zou said. “I thought two months ago, If I could do anything to help these people, I would rather take that time to help other people be protected from COVID-19. That would be my birthday wish.”

The days leading up to her big day were spent completing schoolwork, studying for AP exams and making masks. The Indian High School sophomore ﬁ nished her masks and donated them to Cincinnati Area Senior Services (CASS) May 27. Zou made more than 100 masks for the facility. “These masks will be very helpful,” said Linda Bertaso, development manager at CASS. “We will give them to our seniors when they ride the bus with us to their medical appointments.” Zou felt if there’s anything people can do to help, a little goes a long way. This was her way of staying productive and also making an eﬀ ort to help out.

still a long line, but the atmosphere seemed to be calmer and guests in the East End said they received their meals quickly. “I feel like they realized what times we’re living in and how hard it is. They’re trying to help any way they can,” said Trevaughn Terrell, 26, from Northern Ken-

tucky. “I’ll deﬁ nitely be back.” “I think it’s amazing they’re doing this and more businesses should do this and give back,” said Linsey Debruler, 26.

But the overriding takeaway, Ryann said, is this: “My immediate mindset and priority as soon as I’m pulled over is to leave peacefully and get home alive to be with my family.” It was the primary if heartbreaking goal that seven families expressed: “We want you to come home,” Darin Hall of Hyde Park said he tells his children. “Your job is to come home in one piece,” Tracey Stenson tells Caiden. Discussions that any family might have about the deaths of African American people while in police custody or while being pursued by an authority fi gure – stories like Floyd’s death – may hit their children hard, these parents said. The situation with Floyd off ered a new perspective for some: It is not only young black men targeted by some police offi cers. (In fact, many of those killed by police offi cers in the past – Eric Garner, Walter Scott, Philando Castile and others – were older than 25.) Hall, who has two daughters, 15 and 19, called Floyd’s death “a 360-degree assault,” and said now, his children know that someone their dad’s age could be at risk if stopped by police. Between Floyd’s death, the deaths of unarmed Breonna Taylor of Louisville, shot by police during a search-warrant raid, and the death of unarmed Ahmaud Arbery, 25, while jogging in Glynn County, Georgia, the subsequent protests, the coronavirus pandemic and other issues, Hall said, some people are at an emotional breaking point. And some dads noted that no matter what black parents tell their kids and no matter how hard black people try not to resist racist cops, they can still lose their lives. Floyd complied with everything the cops asked him to do. Hall said he saw overwhelming sadness in his oldest daughter, Grace, 19, that Sunday. “She came down crying,” he said. “She said, ‘It just seems like people hate us so much.’”

The kids, of course, go on. Evan Mahaﬀ ey, a Moeller High School student, said he tries to be optimistic. “It’s part of life, and I just try to look at the positive and try to see the good in things and know my boundaries,” he said. Faith is also a big part of a lot of these Cincinnati-area families’ lives. And it is a way to help teach their children to love all people, to respect all people, and to know that it is the few, not the many,

who put their lives at risk because of their skin color. Robyn and Jamie Mahaff ey said that faith is a big part of their family’s life – and other parents agreed. “Our kids have to be cultured. They have to respect all cultures. They respect everybody,” said Jamie Mahaff ey. Still, racially motivated killings are nothing new to these kids, despite the latest onslaught. Many of the kids know of Trayvon Martin, 17, who was walking home from a convenience store in Sanford, Florida, in February 2012 when he was shot and killed by a neighborhood watch coordinator. Martin had been wearing a hooded sweatshirt. George Zimmerman, the man who shot him, was acquitted of all charges. They know about Tamir Rice, 12, who was playing with a toy pistol in a Cleveland park when he was shot and killed by a police offi cer in November 2014. “We don’t have water guns,” said Stenson. “We don’t play with guns.” The fact that little boys have to curb their play is a small sacrifi ce, a small nod to what is a reality for one group of Americans but not the other. The larger question is best framed by 13-year-old Eric Mahaff ey. “I think about why. Why is it happening?”

cussions about race and safety are underpinned with love, character-building and self-esteem. Most parents hope to convey the key qualities to their children, but for these families, there is a poignant awareness: That their children are likely to be confronted by some people who do not like them simply because of their skin color, their parents said. “We knew they were going to encounter, somewhere along the line, someone who’d try to tear them down,” Mahaff ey said. Danielle said that the “self-worth” lessons have served her well. As a big sister, she has also provided wisdom to Evan that she learned as a student at the University of Tennessee. Danielle tells him, she said, to keep insurance verifi cation and vehicle registration in the driver’s-side visor when he’s driving. That way he won’t have to fumble around in a glove box or pocket for them if a police offi cer stops the car. “A lot of my friends in college, we have conversations like that,” she said. Talk about safety in the face of authority happens with girls just as it does with boys, said Marcus Richardson, an engineering executive living in Mason. He and his wife, Deirdra, have two, daughters Reaghan, 10, and Ryann, 17. “I think we’ve all had ‘the talk’ with our kids about the injustices or the way someone may not see you as equal.” But Richardson, too, emphasized the importance of character-building. “I’ve always tried to make sure my girls ... know they are beautiful young women, they are intelligent. They are somebody,” he said. When Ryann was learning to drive, her father said, “We had the talk about staying safe if a police offi cer pulls her over. “There’s always the subject of respect. At no point in time should you feel like you can say, ‘What are you stopping me for?’” Richardson told Ryann Richardson her. “Ask permission to get your license and registration. Make sure you know exactly where it is. Keep both hands on the steering wheel.” Palms facing out, she added. Ryann, who will enter Miami University in the fall, off ered a litany of lessons she learned from her dad, including this one: “Before reaching for my license or registration, I need to say, ‘Mr. or Mrs. Offi cer, I just want to let you know that I have nothing in my car that will hurt or harm you or me in any way.’”

Not all seemed to be pleased with Eli’s off er. One Facebook user commented: “I just want to make sure I’m being discriminated against im white so no free food for me.” Eli’s responded by off ering to buy the user a free lunch, as well. And then the restaurant reversed course and said it would be off ering free meals to “anyone fi ghting the good fi ght.” “Our intention with providing a meal today to a part of our community that has been devastated the last six months between covid, protests, economic loss, etc. was not meant to diminish anyone else’s struggle during these diffi cult times, but rather to lift up, to provide support from a private business,” Eli’s BBQ Facebook post was updated to say. “We are looking for a way to help. Not hurt. We have decided to extend our off er today, to anyone fi ghting the good fi ght.” The owners could not be reached for comment when this article was originally published, but the post included: “Our cities are on fi re, our country is in a struggle. We are here to help, and support everyone, as they’ve supported us.” By 2:30 p.m., the crowd at the Findlay location had become restless. People complained about a three-hour wait, and Eli’s began to limit the number of people allowed inside. The restaurant started to give away $15 gift cards to avoid the wait.

Greek beef kebabs with arugula salad. RITA HEIKENFELD/FOR THE ENQUIRER

For Father’s Day: Greek beef kebabs with arugula salad Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

Every year, I have the same goal: to plant fewer vegetables so I don’t get overwhelmed during harvest. Obviously, by the photo here of grandsons Will and Jack putting in tomato stakes, that goal won’t be reached this year either. Along with over a dozen tomatoes, we’re planting several kinds of peppers, a trellis of cucumbers, 2 kinds of squash and my usual long row of ﬂ owers. Corn, pumpkins and gourds are already planted near the berry bushes. But you know what? It’s all good. Plenty of produce

to preserve, and, as importantly, to share with those who may still be sheltering in place, not venturing out as much as they’d like. The calendar tells me Father’s Day is on the horizon. Is dad in the mood for kebabs? How about Greek beef kebabs? No long marinating time needed. Assemble and marinate 30 minutes to several hours. Use part of the marinade for dressing a simple arugula salad. For dessert, grilled pineapple slices with brown sugar/cinnamon glaze. Top with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce. Watch dad smile. And to all our dads a happy, meaningful day! Tip: elevate canned cream cheese frosting Robyn Herzfeld, an Amelia reader, and aunt to neighbors Josh and Erin, adds about 1⁄ 3 of block of cream cheese and a couple heaping tablespoons cherry preserves to the frosting. “So delicious,” Erin said.

Set aside 2-3 tablespoons marinade for salad dressing. Toss meat with remaining marinade. Marinate anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours in refrigerator. Skewer meat onto skewers. Grill skewers over hot ﬁ re until lightly charred and done to your liking. Flank steak will be done in less time than chunks. Meanwhile make salad. Instructions – salad Toss salad ingredients with marinade that you set aside. Serve salad alongside kebabs with cheese, and grilled pita, if you like. Yield: Serves 4 or so. Tip: Arugula is a “cut and come again” salad green. Grilled brown sugar cinnamon pineapple slices Just stir 1 cup brown sugar and melted butter together. Add a tablespoon cinnamon. Brush pineapple on both sides. Grill, brushing with extra marinade.

SCHOOL NEWS Indian Hill High School students author story of success Indian Hill High School (IHHS) student-writers journeyed to the regional Just Write competitive writing tournament to put their pens to the test. Ten students with the IHHS Competitive Writing Team traveled to Dublin Coﬀ man High School in Columbus to compete. “Students sit for three rounds, 45-minutes each, to handwrite complete short stories based on prescribed genres and prompts,” explained IHHS Teacher Tom Millard. “We are extremely proud of how our Braves represented Indian Hill High School.” IHHS participants included students: Tabatha Aldas, Callie Gibson, Julianne Lambert, Ricky Martin, Julia McAninch, Marianna Narita, Joy On, Samara Summers, Grace Wang, and Elsa Zhou. Students participated in two divisions which were determined by grade. Two IHHS students who scored among the top 15 in each division were recognized: Elsa Zhou (Division I, 12th overall), and Ricky Martin (Division II, 2nd overall). Freshmen Joy On and Elsa Zhou, Sophomores Samara Summers and Marianna Narita, Junior Julianne Lambert, and Seniors Ricky Martin and Callie Gibson qualiﬁ ed to compete at the state level May 9 at the University of Findlay.

Works by Loveland High School’s Lilly Rohling selected for the Ohio Governor’s Youth Art Exhibition Loveland High School Junior Lilly Rohling’s two artworks “Shower Frenzy” (colored pencil drawing) and “Inclination” (video) have been selected for the 2020 Ohio Governor’s Youth Art Exhibition. The exhibition, now in its 50th year, is open to all of Ohio’s 1,112 public and private high schools and dedicated to the educational and artistic advancement of talented youth in the state. The purpose is to provide budding artists with opportunities to advance their talent through scholarships and entering their work in a competition. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, no oﬃ cial awards ceremony – or actual exhibit - will take place this year. Executive Director of the Ohio Governor’s Youth Art Exhibition expressed his disappointment: “This was not the year that any of us had planned. One of the highlights of my school year is having the honor of recognizing Ohio’s talented young artists in person. My heart is heavy for the 2020 student-artists who were selected for an exhibition that was never hung.” 300 winners were selected from 15 regions across the state.

One junior winner, four junior fi nalists, one senior winner and four senior fi nalists have been recognized for their exemplary volunteer accomplishments and awarded a cash prizes. Hannah Laman, a junior at Loveland High School, was selected as one of the 2020 Lazarus Awards fi nalists. Hannah has a desire for serving others and this passion combined with imagination and initiative has enabled her to have a tremendous impact on many lives. When she was eight years old, Hannah cofounded Adopt-a-Book after learning there were many children in Cincinnati who didn’t have books of their own at home. Over the past nine years, she has helped collect, sort, count, and distribute thousands of books. More than 165,000 new and gently used children’s books have been disseminated through schools, shelters, clinics, and other organizations that serve children in need. Hannah wrote, she has “grown up with (Adopt a Book) … it has put me out of my comfort zone and taught me how to lead others in pursuing their goals, as well as helping others.” Through her leadership, Hannah has had a positive impact on children in other ways including being a camp counselor for the STEM summer camp at her school. Additionally, Hannah has been involved in multiple mission trips with her church, providing her the opportunity to serve others by participating in neighborhood clean-up, meal distribution, and just talking and connecting. Through her leadership, ingenuity, caring, and service, Hannah exemplifi es the qualities of the Simon Lazarus, Jr., Human Relations Awards. In addition to Hannah, the other 2020 Simon Lazarus, Jr., Human Relations Awards went to Jillian Rice, senior winner,

from Indian Hill High School and Caitlin Broderick, junior winner, from Wyoming High School. The senior ﬁ nalists were Sean Fallis, Bethel-Tate High School; Abby Jarrold, Archbishop McNicholas High School; Jordynn Jenkins, Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy; and Dalal Shalash, Mercy McAuley High School. Other junior ﬁ nalists included Alivia Hyland, Saint Ursula Academy; Anna MacLennan, Anderson High School; and Tamar Sella, Walnut Hills High School. Cathy Heldman, AJC Cincinnati

Summit students fare well on National Latin Exam One Summit student earned a perfect score on the National Latin Exam (NLE) while three others earned special book awards. Seventh grader Sophia Nery, Mt. Lookout, answered all 40 questions correctly on the “Introduction to Latin” exam. According to Summit Latin teacher Larry Dean, earning a perfect score is extremely diffi cult and rare as less than one percent of students received a perfect score on the 2020 National Latin Exam. Summit seniors Kathryn Sullivan, Morrow; Maliah Bricking, Sharonville; and Ryan Burns, Anderson Township, received special book awards for earning multiple gold medals. Kathryn received The Oxford Classical Dictionary for earning four golds in fi ve years of Latin. Maliah and Ryan received The Oxford Companion to Classical Literature for earning fi ve consecutive golds.

SPORTS Moeller returns to practice under new coach Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

KENWOOD – Elder at Moeller has a certain ring to it that raises the hairs on anyone that follows Greater Catholic League-South football. However, it’s a new ring now as new Crusaders coach Mark Elder prepares to lead his fi rst Moeller squad into the 2020 season. Thanks to returning under new coronavirus restrictions, the march is beginning in small steps, preferably six feet apart. “It’s great to have the Elder guys back out,” Elder said. “We wanted to get going as quickly as we could. It’s been tough on them to be cooped up at home and not able to see their friends on a consistent basis. “ Utilizing the on-campus football fi eld and adjacent soccer fi eld, the Crusaders went through several stations with Elder’s staff that includes a few new faces. Elder is used to working with big numbers, after coaching Division I college football and most recently serving as head coach at Eastern Kentucky for the past four seasons. As an assistant under Butch Jones, he coached at Tennessee, Cincinnati and Central Michigan. He also served as an assistant under then-Michigan coach Lloyd Carr and briefl y was on Akron’s stuff when current UC coach Luke Fickell was there. Elder now has the unique task of getting a team in order that’s been quarantined due to COVID-19 and trying to re-

gain favor after a rare 2-8 season. “We’re just focusing on getting better,” Elder said. “I’m not really worried about what happened last year or years in the past. Those things don’t really have a major impact on the season we’re going to have this year. What does have a major impact on the season we’re going to to have is the work ethic, the commitment level of the guys and coming on a consistent basis and working really hard.” In early workouts, Moeller has had roughly 100 players on hand sophomores through seniors. The Crusaders do return some talent

and some Division I prospects. Currently, only one is committed with off ensive lineman Landon Fickell electing to stay home with his father’s Bearcats. Defensive lineman Nate Pabst has several MidAmerican Conference school off ers, while 6-foot-4, 245-pound junior tight end Josh Kattus has off ers from Michigan, Pitt and Toledo. Kattus also has a famous father, Eric, who prepped at Colerain before going to Michigan and then to the Bengals as a tight end. “Everyone’s here and we’re all getting in hard work,” Kattus said. “(There’s) a

lot of new faces and some guys are coming back. They’re all great coaches. I can’t wait to keep doing more with them.” Kattus is also keeping busy with some basketball with Moeller. As a sophomore, he was on last year’s junior varsity team and will be in the running for a shot on coach Carl Kremer’s varsity that went 26-1 last season before the campaign was halted with coronavirus concerns. Mainly a blocker as a sophomore, Kattus did catch one pass for 12 yards. He hopes to see his receptions increase in the new system and thinks the program will turn. “I truly believe so,” Kattus said. “We have a lot of talent coming back. We were a young team last year.” Top receivers Brandon and Bryan White are back and Deuce and Aiden Shaw should impact the defense. Several other Crusaders are entertaining off ers at various levels also. There will be a new quarterback as Drew Altemuehle graduated and Malik Verdon transferred to Hamilton last fall after the season. “We have guys that are going to be able to play at the next level, which I think is great,” Elder said. “It’s going to be getting them to come together and play well as a team and to believe in each other.” Moeller’s opener is at Middletown, Friday Aug. 28. They again will be using Princeton’s Viking Stadium as their home fi eld with the fi rst tilt coming Saturday, Sept. 19 against West Toronto (Canada) Preparatory. There is a GCLSouth game with Elder set for Friday, Oct. 9 at UC’s Nippert Stadium.

GREATEST OF ALL TIME:

Who are top boys, girls Cincinnati soccer teams? Welcome to the next installment of the Enquirer’s and Cincinnati.com’s efforts to determine the best of the best – the greatest and most dominant of our local state champions. This time, we identify ﬁ ve the best of the area’s boys and girls soccer state champions.

Boys No. 5 – 2015 Covington Catholic The Colonels went 24-2-2 to set a single-season school – and, perhaps, a Greater Cincinnati – record for wins while also setting school records with 109 goals and 16 shutouts, capped by a 3-0 win over Henry Clay in the state championship game. The shutout was only the second pinned on the Blue Devils all season. The boys state championship was the ﬁ rst for a Northern Kentucky team after going 0-8 in previous ﬁ nals. CovCath’s Bryce Day was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player. Day, goalkeeper Sam Romes and defenseman Ben Darpel all were named to the all-tournament team.

No. 4 – 1989 Roger Bacon The Spartans outscored seven tournament opponents by a combined 27-3 on their way to the Division II state championship. Roger Bacon capped the run with a 5-1 win over previously undefeated Tipp City Tippecanoe in the state semifi nal before blasting Canfi eld, 4-0, in the fi nal. Goalkeeper Chris Miller logged four shutouts in seven tournament games. Brian Reinhart scored two goals in the state championship game. Roger Bacon fi nished 21-1-3.

No. 3 – 2001 Turpin Yes, another Spartans team. Turpin outscored its fi rst six tournament opponents by a combined 32-4 with three shutouts before edging Cuyahoga Falls, 2-1, for the Division II state championship. The victory was the second straight in the fi nal over Cuyahoga Falls for the Spartans, who beat the Warriors, 4-0, in 2000. Cuyahoga Falls didn’t record a shot on goal until the second half. Dan Matteucci and Zach Peterson scored for Turpin, which fi nished 21-0-1.

No. 2 – 2015 Summit Country Day The Silver Knights, ranked No. 1 in the

Ohio Scholastic Soccer Coaches Association Division III poll, didn’t allow a goal while piling up 43 in seven tournament games, capping the rush with a 9-0 win over No. 8 Canfi eld South Range in the state championship match. The nine goals were a state-fi nal record. Along the way, they beat third-ranked Cincinnati Country Day and No. 6 Jamestown Greeneview. Mike Fee was the statewide Division III Private/Parochial school of the year, while midfi elder Charlie Maciejewski was the Player of

the Year and joined midﬁ elder Brendan Jones on the all-state ﬁ rst team.

No. 1 – 2016 Summit Country Day While the 2015 Silver Knights were good, the 2016 edition was better. Summit ﬁ nished 21-1-1 and defeated every Ohio team it faced. The statewide topranked Silver Knights posted six shutouts before allowing a goal to No. 2 Kidron Central Christian in the 9-1 statechampionship match. Sam Martin set a

single-game fi nal record with four goals. Cameron Belle was the statewide Division III Player of the Year, and he and Martin were fi rst-team all-state picks. The championship was the fourth in fi ve seasons and fi fth overall for the dynasty. “This is crazy,” Belle told the Enquirer. “The last four years have been crazy. This is an unreal experience for me. It really is. It is unreal.” See SOCCER, Page 2B

The Rockets were 21-1-0 on their way to capturing Ohio’s Division Ii state championship. McNicholas opened the tournament with four straight shutouts and won the regional fi nal and state semifi nal both by 3-1 scores before shutting out Akron Archbishop Hoban, 3-0, in the state fi nal. Midfi elder Sophie Gorman was named fi rst-team all-state and assisted on the fi rst of Emma Heise’s two goals in the fi nal. The Rockets fi nished the season with a 12-game win streak.

No. 3 – 2017 Indian Hill

No. 1 – 2015 Summit Country Day

Except for a 4-3 shootout win over Waynesville in the Division II district fi nal, the Braves were in tight control during their run to the state championship. On the way to fi nishing 22-0-1, Indian Hill posted four shutouts in its other fi ve tournament games and allowed just one goal in the fi fth. They fi nished the season ranked No. 1 in the state in the Division II coaches’ poll, led by fullback Anna Podojil, who was named the Division II Player of the Year. Midfi elder Morgan Jackson also was named fi rst-team allstate.

After allowing one goal in the Division III tournament’s fi rst round, the Knights strung together seven consecutive shutouts on their way to fi nishing 24-0-0 and clinching the team’s fi rst state championship since 2011. Team captain and fi rst-team all-state pick Addy Smythe needed only the fi rst half to log a hat trick in SCD’s 6-0 win over 10th-ranked Doylestown Chippewa. Midfi elder Ravin Alexander also was named fi rst-team all-state for the Division III poll champions. “It feels awesome,” said Smythe, who joined her older brother Austin as a Silver Knight soccer state champ. “He always teases me when we get in a fi ght and says, ‘How many rings do you have?’ I told him I was going to get one. My senior year ending with a state championship is unbelievable.”

Paddlefest has gone virtual due to the coronavirus pandemic tanced at the launch, take out, on bus shuttles and during on-land festivities.” Rather than gather in person, organizers encourage participants to complete the nine-mile paddle on their own. This virtual event is being called Paddle for a Purpose because all proceeds beneﬁ t Adventure Crew, an organization that provides free outdoor recreation opportunities to city teens in 24 high schools in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. Anyone who wants to participate can register online now through Aug. 8. It is $25 for adults and $10 for youth 17 and under. 2021 will be the 20th year of Paddlefest. Wise said, “While we’re disappointed that we can’t host an in-person Paddlefest this year, we don’t want to disappoint the nearly 1,000 kids who participate in our adventures each year.”

Cincinnati’s annual Paddlefest on the Ohio River has gone virtual due to the coronavirus pandemic. The event was supposed to bring more than 2,000 paddlers down on a nine-mile ride down the Ohio River. Organizers cited potential health risks of large event during the COVID-19 pandemic as reasoning for the cancelled event. “There are simply too many unknowns to move forward conﬁ dently in planning Paddlefest, especially with the current mandate limiting mass gatherings,” said Miriam Wise, associate director of the nonproﬁ t Adventure Crew, which produces the event, in a press release. “Most importantly, we cannot execute a successful Paddlefest while keeping our paddlers safely dis-

A remodeled, ultra-modern house in Hyde Park with high ceilings, high-end fi nishes and a high energy-effi ciency rating recently hit the market for just under $1.5 million. The 4,292-square-foot house at 2872 Erie Ave. is the fi rst renovated residential property in the area to be certifi ed LEED Platinum - the highest rating established by the U.S. Green Building Council, according to Realtor Julie Back, the listing agent with Sibcy Cline Realtors. The focus on sustainability can be seen in the use of wooden beams and fl oors, brick walls, stone surfaces and

other reusable materials throughout the house, which is just a short distance away from Hyde Park Square, Back said. The house also blends in the latest trends in modern architecture and minimalist design, including a marble-enclosed built-in ﬁ replace, a spa-like master bath and a two-car garage with a folding glass door. "There is nothing cookie-cutter about this house,'' Back said. "It has everything today's homebuyers are looking for - modern style, open spaces with loads of light.''

COMMUNITY NEWS Together Again initiative helps people connect and celebrate despite coronavirus pandemic Trophy Awards Manufacturing has launched Total Appreciation, a new branch of the company aimed at recognition and celebration for individuals, businesses, and the community at large. As a part of Total Appreciation, Trophy Awards has also launched the #TogetherAgain initiative, a program designed to help provide moments of deep appreciation and connection during and after the coronavirus pandemic. In partnership with At Work On Purpose, the initiative seeks to inspire and unite friends, families, coworkers, teammates, and communities with simple but signiﬁ cant acts of gratitude and celebration. The initiative beneﬁ ts Matthew 25: Ministries and their COVID-19 relief efforts. “The #TogetherAgain initiative was initially born out of our vision for the day where we would physically come together, once again,” said Landon Martin, director of sales and marketing at Trophy Awards Manufacturing. Based in Highland Heights, Trophy Awards Manufacturing provides a wide range of customized products such as crystal and acrylic awards, plaques, branded apparel, and promotional products which allow organizations and individuals to express appreciation to others. “For us, the objective is ‘total appreciation’ for all the valued people in our lives, and right now we see this best expressed as ‘Together Again,’” said Martin, who resides in Lebanon. “During the coronavirus pandemic, and in the new normal we will experience ‘after,’ we want to show our appreciation for those who have been on the frontlines, and many others who we are grateful for during this time. We will want to celebrate – and celebrate in so many ways. The Together Again initiative can be the engine to drive that appreciation, and to show that excitement, as we slowly come together again,” said Martin. “As we transition to a new normal together, it’s a great time to spread these kinds of moments of joy to one another.” The Together Again initiative includes products such as branded T-shirts, drink tumblers, and photo frames, all available on its website, www.totalappreciation.com. Organizations interested in placing bulk and custom orders can be ordered

by calling 800-455-6011. Proceeds from the Together Again initiative will benefi t Matthew 25: Ministries. Matthew 25: Ministries is distributing emergency supplies to more than 400 organizations, including hospitals, fi rst responders, fi re departments, police departments, nursing homes, schools, healthcare facilities and more. Matthew 25 is also providing lunches to hospital and healthcare workers as a way of caring for those on the frontlines of this crisis. “We always appreciate being the benefi ciary of great programs like the Together Again initiative by Trophy Awards. The proceeds from this program will help support our distribution activities and our partners’ tireless eff orts to care for high-risk populations including the sick, the elderly, the impoverished, and others in need,” said Tim Mettey, CEO of Matthew 25: Ministries in Blue Ash. Similar to many businesses, Trophy Awards has been signifi cantly aff ected by the coronavirus, but At Work On Purpose stepped in to help support the business through its Rapid Response system. “We need to be boots on the ground right now, tackling tough workplace issues for employers and employees alike,” said At Work On Purpose founder and president Chuck Proudfi t of Mason. At Work On Purpose is a pioneer in the workplace ministry movement, advancing citywide workplace ministry around the world. Its Rapid Response program is a network of resources connecting those in need with those willing to provide help and resources. The Rapid Response system’s focus areas include job displacement, abrupt

transitions to virtual work, emotional discouragement on the job, unexpected childcare needs for working parents, emergency funding for small businesses and congregations, prayer support, and more. At Work On Purpose has longstanding relationships with these trusted workplace ministry resources, all of which are being quickly mobilized across the city. With oﬃ ces in Mason and Blue Ash, more than 10,000 individuals from the private, public, and social sectors are a part of the At Work On Purpose community in Greater Cincinnati. Thousands of others are in the network globally, looking to At Work On Purpose as a model for response during the pandemic. Currently, At Work On Purpose is building a national network to mobilize across the United States using strategically situated “regional hub” locations, complemented by universally accessible digital support systems. Best practices and key resources are being shared from likeminded, leading workplace ministries in Austin, Texas; Raleigh, North Carolina; Minneapolis, Minnesota; and Redding, California. “We have so many leaders who are able to minister in practical ways right now, here in Cincinnati, Ohio, and beyond,” added Proudﬁ t. “Trophy Awards’ Together Again initiative is a shining example of that.” For employers, business leaders, churches, teams, organizations, and individuals interested in sending and showing appreciation for someone through the #TogetherAgain initiative, visit www.totalappreciation.com or call 800-455-6011.

The Down Syndrome Association of Greater Cincinnati (DSAGC) in partnership with Lamar Advertising will be highlighting local seniors with Down syndrome through a week-long billboard campaign. The billboards will contain a congratulatory message, photo of the senior, and their name. The DSAGC wanted to honor the seniors with Down syndrome in Greater Cincinnati on their very important milestone, especially this year since traditional in-person ceremonies and celebrations aren’t able to be held. “We are so proud of Katie’s achievements. Her future is bright. Thank you to the Down Syndrome Association of Greater Cincinnati for always supporting our loved ones with Down Syndrome and for all the wonderful resources they provide to help them reach their potential,” says a parent of a senior with Down syndrome. In addition to the billboard campaign, the DSAGC will host a virtual graduation party and showcase each senior and their accomplishments on its social media outlets. The Down Syndrome Association of Greater Cincinnati was formed in 1981 by a group of parents who envisioned a better life for their children. It has grown into a nationally recognized non-proﬁ t organization serving thousands of people with Down syndrome, their families, extended families, health care providers and teachers as well as the larger community. They oﬀ er a wide variety programs and support services focusing on every stage of life. Their mission is to empower individuals, educate families, enhance communities and together, celebrate the extraordinary lives of people with Down syndrome.

Rotary says ‘thank you’ The Rotary Club of Cincinnati is saying thank you with yards of cotton and elastic as Rotary members make more than 1,100 masks for YMCA pandemic childcare staﬀ members, restaurant workers who partnered with Rotary to support families in the centers, and for Rotary Club members. The mask project is the latest Rotary response to Greater Cincinnati’s COVID-19 health crisis. “Dr. Amy Acton, the Ohio Department of Health director, has said we could be looking at a year of wearing masks to battle COVID-19,” said Linda Muth, executive director of the Rotary Club of Cincinnati. “We thought we could be proactive and productive while we’re sheltering in place,” said Muth, of Anderson Township. The masks, made from fabric imprinted with the Rotary Club of Cincinnati logo, are being distributed as Thank-You gifts for staﬀ at the eight YMCA pandemic childcare centers in Hamilton County, to workers at the more than 30 restaurants that provided dinners for essential workers’ families who used those centers in April and May, and to Rotary members. Rotary Membership Director DeAnn Fleming of Anderson Township is managing the project. “I grew up sewing,” said Fleming. “This is very personal way to say ‘Thank You.’” She said the masks are very much a Rotary family project. More than 15 Rotarians or their family members volunteered to sew the masks. Gail Fischer, an accomplished quilter whose husband and daughters are Rotarians, worked with Decal Impressions printing company to have the fabric printed with the Rotary logo. Fischer, of Ryland Heights, Ky., enlisted her family to cut the mask shapes. Fleming distributed the mask materials and directions. The mask project is funded by the Rotary Foundation, which is the philanthropic arm of the Rotary Club of Cincinnati. The Rotary Foundation also created and funded the Community Heroes Family Dinner Project to provide family dinners for essential workers with children at the YMCA pandemic child care centers. The Rotary Foundation bought meals

from local restaurants and families could pick up their evening meal when they picked up their children. The more than $128,000 project provided steady business for the restaurants while making lives easier for medical workers and other essential workers during the health crisis shutdown. The YMCA and restaurant workers who were part of the Community Heroes Family Dinner Project are now sporting their Thank-You masks. “Those dinners for the Rotary made it possible for me to keep paying my employees,” said Judy Daleiden of Finneytown, owner of the Sweet Heart Café in Colerain Township. The café made more than 300 meals over the six-week program. “The Rotary helped keep us aﬂ oat,” she said. “It was a great. The kids wrote us thank-you notes. Several families asked for carryout menus. People who didn’t know about us before will be customers going forward. And the masks are great.” Besides the mask project and the Community Heroes Family dinner pro-

ject, The Rotary Club donated $50,000 to St. Vincent de Paul in March to provide rent and utility assistance for families stressed during the shutdown and club members donated more than $23,000 to buy unsold Girl Scout cookies to be donated to LaSoupe, which has been providing meals for low income children during the crisis. That project supported Girl Scout troops throughout Greater Cincinnati as well as supporting the LaSoupe charity. The Rotary Club of Cincinnati is a service and networking organization made up of business and community leaders. Its mission is to provide selﬂ ess service in the community and the world, with a focus on children’s needs.

Hopewell DAR plans for the future On Sunday, May 17 ﬁ ve future DAR members and three oﬃ cers met in the open in a parking lot, sporting masks, following social distancing and carrying

their own pens to sign applications to become members of Hopewell DAR Chapter. Hopewell ladies, like all Ohio residents have been following the guidelines set by the governor and have been sheltering in place which meant we could not meet as a chapter for the present time. We welcomed the opportunity to carefully meet to look to the future by increasing membership and supporting DAR activities. Pictured are the applicants and offi cers. Three applicants, Natalie Johnson, Roberta Stagge, and Dorothy Johnson represent three generations of granddaughter, mother and daughter and who have been sheltering in place together. Other applicants (not pictured) are Susan Schaen and Nancy Upchurch. Offi cers present for the signing were Regent Jan Mauch, Registrar Diane Autore and Treasurer Melinda Yonchak. In order to apply for DAR membership, eligible ladies complete applications with supporting documentation to prove linear descent from an individual who participated in support of colonists working for freedom during the Revolutionary War. These applications are submitted to the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution where they are checked by genealogists and if all is correct, the applicant is presented to the National Board of Management to approve membership. The Registrar of each chapter manages the application process. Daughters of the American Revolution is a woman’s patriotic, non-profi t, nonpolitical service organization with a three-pronged mission statement: to support education, patriotism and historic preservation. Hopewell Chapter is the 100th and newest Ohio chapter and is completing its charter year as of August of 2020. The chapter typically meets once a month with business meetings to plan projects and an educational program is presented. DAR is a committee based organization and Hopewell has been creating projects through committees to support the local West Chester and Mason communities as well as our nation. Interested ladies are invited to contact Regent Jan Mauch for more information at regent@hopewelldar.org. Jan Mauch, DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution)
