Rabbi Robert Barr refl ects on 40 years with Beth Adam congregation Laura A. Hobson Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
When Loveland’s Congregation Beth Adam fi rst began, Rabbi Robert Barr was there. The rabbi took a $10,000 salary and began with a group of six that met in area homes. “I wrote my fi rst sermon on my typewriter,” Barr said. He’s had a 40-year run and built a synagogue which now attracts 280 people. When the congregation decided to build its own synagogue, the rabbi had 90% of the $2.3 million pledged before the groundbreaking in Loveland. “We built a bold, dynamic Judaism that diff ers from other synagogues,” Barr said. Beth Adam remains an independent synagogue which draws from many diff erent streams of Jewish thought. “At the end of the day, I think it is everyone’s responsibility to leave the world better than they found it,” the 63year-old rabbi said. As a result, even today, he not just teaches and reads, but keeps on learning. “That is the goal,” Barr said. “There is angst in the world, but it’s hard to keep up. Successful people keep on learning.” But having a history doesn’t mean the synagogue is mired in the past. “Technology has changed the way I communicate,” said Barr. Signifi cant updates include a website called Our Jewish Community.org and a Facebook page with 36,000 followers.“ The congregation also features a unique liturgy written by Barr and Beth Adam’s Ritual/Life Cycle Committee chaired by Harriet Edwards, a 34-year member of the congregation. She said, “The liturgy is what makes the congregation diff erent.” It also off ers a redesigned religious education, Our Village. He noted one can educate children and achieve knowledge. “But how do we instill wisdom? We recognize a sense of shared re-

sponsibility,” Barr said. The congregation attracts people looking for something diff erent. “It’s an important institution; people like each other and become friends,” Barr said. There are four generations of families at Beth Adam. “Work is like the classic pebble in the water; you touch people in it. It changes
and evolves,” said Barr. Barr began to think about running for a candidate of the US House of Representatives in Congress as a Democrat in late 2016 as an extension of his call to the rabbinate. He spent over a year talking to Congress members on Capitol Hill

Local restaurant goes all pink for Breast Cancer Awareness month Briana Rice Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
The Silver Spring House in Symmes Township has decided to go all out in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month this October. It started with a paint job, courtesy of a donation by Sherwin-Williams, and now everything is covered in the pink. The restaurant has pink aprons, pink T-shirts, pink napkins, pink straws, special cups with pink writing and pink drink and food specials. Even the parking lines are painted pink.
How to submit news
It’s part of a month-long fundraiser for the Pink Ribbon Girls and American Cancer Society. “We’ve had family members, several employees and customers who have had (breast cancer) and so we didn’t want to just paint the building, we wanted to give back,” co-owner Joe Kendall said. The original goal was to raise $25,000 for the Pink Ribbon Girls and American Cancer Society in Ohio. Owners Joe Smith and Joe Kendall say the restaurant has already surpassed that goal and they now hope to raise See PINK, Page 2A

Bill would require schools to start after 8:30 a.m. Michael Baldwin Fox19
An Ohio lawmaker from Cleveland wants to change the start times for all public schools. State Sen. Sandra Williams is calling for classes at public schools to start no sooner than 8:30 a.m. She introduced Senate Bill 218 on Wednesday, Oct. 16. Part of the proposed law states “it would prohibit public schools from beginning the school day earlier than 8:30 a.m.” Some superintendents, like Eugene Blalock of the North College Hill City School District, believe that could
cause problems. “I can see where that can be problematic,” he said. “In the district I previously worked, we had transportation. And we had to stagger the starts just to get students to school. When you talk about the number of buses you would have to put on the streets and routes; you’d have to have to make sure all the students get to school on the same time.” Blalock said he also feels there could be a fi nancial impact. “You are talking about a fi nancial impact and a strain on the resources … especially if you look at more some of the more rural areas or some of the larger districts. Where they are going
from one side of the district to the other side of the district,” he said. About half of Cincinnati Public Schools start at 8:30 a.m. or after. The school board passed a resolution to bring the other schools in. State Sen. Cecil Thomas said a statewide public school start time is not a good idea. That decision, he said, should be left to school boards. “Without knowing the specifi cs of the bill, if it’s strictly requiring schools to start no earlier than 8:30, that could be problematic.” Enquirer media partner Fox19 provided this report.

about his candidacy. He would have been the third rabbi to run for Congress. He withdrew when Aftab Pureval decided to run for this position. After running in January 2018, it was a thoughtful decision to drop out. “I didn’t leave easily,” Barr said. Did he learn a lot? Yes, he did. Would he run again? No. Barr off ered to return 75% of the money raised to donors. “People come up to me and said we would support you again.” With his background, he joined as a partner with Carolyn Gilbert, Cliff Schecter to form GSB, a consulting fi rm to provide counsel to candidates running for election. And he weighs in on political issues. In addition to serving on boards such as Jewish Community Relations Council and delegate to Metropolitan Area Religious Coalition of Cincinnati, he has written several articles for The Huffi ngton Post. He convenes the other ten to 15 senior pulpit rabbis for quarterly meetings. With the country divided, Barr wants to focus on how one makes the city better. In 2020, Beth Adam celebrates its 40th year anniversary. Plans are under way for this event.

Enoteca Emilia to live again, but in Loveland Polly Campbell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
This 3,823-square-foot home at 3601 Observatory Ave. in Hyde Park is typical of most million-dollar homes in the Cincinnati area, according to a new report from Zillow. PROVIDED BY MAUREEN LINTZ/CALDWELL BANKER WEST SHELL
What does $1M buy in Cincinnati’s housing market?
When Margaret Ranalli closed Enoteca Emilia in O’Bryonville, she moved to Charleston, South Carolina, for a while. She worked on opening some restaurants there. But when she had the chance at re-establishing Enoteca back in the Cincinnati area, she decided to take it. The new version of her Italian restaurant will open in Loveland in late October. It takes the place of Bella on the fi rst fl oor of the Loveland Station apartments. Ranalli is getting together many members of the team from the original location. Her chef is Brittany Blodgett, who was the last chef at Enoteca. She’ll be executing a similar menu of Italian dishes such as light pizzas, salume
boards, deviled eggs, spiedini, gnudi and other updated classics. “I couldn’t believe how much has been happening in Loveland since I left,” said Ranalli. The restaurant will be in the historic block near the bike trail, where Tano Blodgett Bistro, Bishop’s Quarter and several other restaurants make up a busy dining district. The restaurant is 600 square feet, seating about 35, but with a 70-seat patio and a bar with doors that all open to the outside. “It’s good to be back, and the support I’ve gotten has been gratifying,” said Ranalli Meanwhile, Eighth and English, the restaurant that moved into the O’Bryonville space, has closed.

Got a million bucks and your eyes on a luxurious new palatial estate? Here’s what that million dollars will get you in Cincinnati, based a new report from real estate market tracker, Zillow. The typical $1 million, single-family home in Cincinnati has 3,810 square feet, four bedrooms and three-and-ahalf bathrooms. That’s nearly twice the size of the average million-dollar home in the 100 largest cities in the U.S., which is typically about 2,200 square feet with four bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms, according to Zillow’s analysis. Of course, million-dollar listings vary widely from city to city, even neighborhood to neighborhood. For example, just outside Cincinnati in The Village of Indian Hill - which came in No. 12 last year on Bloomberg’s annual list of the 100 richest places in the U.S. - it’s tough to even break into the housing market for $1 million. Last week (when this article was originally published), only one of nine homes listed for sale in Indian Hill was priced at or below $1 million, according to Zillow (and that one was still $825,000.)
“Owning a $1 million home was once a status symbol, but now, due to escalating home prices, it feels closer to the price of entry for homeownership in parts of the country.” Cheryl Young
senior economist at Zillow
Aff ordability is even worse in in many of America’s large coastal cities, where homebuyers with just $1 million to spend have been forced to set their sights on much smaller homes. In San Francisco, the most expensive housing market in the U.S., $1 million will buy a 1,150-square-foot, single-family home with three bedrooms and one bath, or an 890-square-foot condo with one bedroom and one bath, according to Zillow. “Owning a $1 million home was once a status symbol, but now, due to escalating home prices, it feels closer to the price of entry for homeownership in parts of the country,” said Cheryl Young, Senior Economist at Zillow.

Plans for new Kenwood Chick-fi l-A abandoned Jeanne Houck
Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Chick-fi l-A has abandoned plans to build a restaurant with a drivethru in a portion of a parking lot at the Kenwood Towne Centre. Project coordinator Ellen Selle of the GPD Group delivered the news to Sycamore Township offi cials in an email that did not say why Chickfi l-A was backing out. GPD Group is an architectural, engineering and planning fi rm based in Akron that had been working on the proposed Kenwood restaurant with Chick-fi l-A, a l fast-food chain whose specialty is chicken sandwiches. “Thank you all for your time and eff orts to get the project this far, but I regret to inform you that Chick-fi l-A has requested we withdraw their application,” Selle said in her email. “It is my understanding we will not reapply.” Sycamore Township Trustee Tom Weidman said he understands that some existing tenants of
the Kenwood Towne Centre blocked the proposed Chick-fi l-A restaurant by exercising a veto option in their leases with mall owner Brookfi eld Properties Retail Group. “Most of those lease agreements with big tenants give them a lot of veto power for things that happen in the mall,” Weidman said. “I am fi nishing my 14th year as trustee and I am unaware of any prospective tenants being vetoed, but I would be willing to bet that there have been some in the past. “This is not unusual for mall lease agreements with the tenants,” Weidman said. Brookfi eld Properties, Chick-fi l A and Selle did not respond to requests for comment. There already is a Chick-fi l-A operating inside the Kenwood Towne Centre with a diff erent owner than the owner of the proposed free-standing restaurant. And Chick-fi l-A has come under fi re by some for donating millions of dollars to organizations that LGBTQ activists say

Park spaces in Blue Ash where children play have twice become targets for vandals spraypainting graffi ti symbols including profane language and what police suspected was a swastika, according to police incident reports. Police are investigating the vandalizing of Summit Park and the Blue Ash YMCA as related incidents, according to a news release. Spray paint showed up fi rst Sept. 28 around the soccer fi elds at Blue Ash
YMCA. Steven Bohne, program director at the YMCA, came out to fi elds around 8 a.m. to prep them for play. “Several symbols and profane langue” were found on the fi eld and along a back wall next to the fi eld, according to the incident report from the YMCA. One of the symbols appeared to be a swastika, police said. On Oct. 7, a man called the police to investigate graffi ti at the 103-acre Summit Park. Someone “spray painted graffi ti throughout the park’s property,” according to the incident report.

Chick-fi l-A says that it doesn't support any political or social agenda on families and marriage and that its donations support programs that benefi t underprivileged children. Weidman said he has no idea why some tenants may have vetoed the Chick-fi l-A restaurant proposed for the parking lot. “It is my guess that it had less to do with any political agenda and more to do with the amount of traffi c that Chick-fi l-A restaurants draw,” Weidman said. “At peak times between Black Friday and the beginning of January, that could put serious pressure on the traffi c fl ow inside the Towne Centre property.” Chick-fi l-A submitted plans to Sycamore Township in mid-August to build a 4,858-square-foot restaurant at the corner of Kenwood and East Galbraith roads at the Kenwood Towne Centre.

Weather is perfect for spicy sausage chili Spicy sausage chili Spicy sausage chili.
I used Ethan Becker’s (“Joy of Cooking”) Ohio farmhouse chili as an inspiration. I added more seasonings, chili powder and beans to give it a spicy kick.
RITA HEIKENFELD/FOR THE ENQUIRER
Chili is one of those foods that can be played around with. I wouldn’t object to adding some diced bell pepper in with the sausage and veggies. So feel free to do your own thing when making this recipe. Ingredients 1 pound pork sausage (I used hot) 1 onion, diced 1 long celery stalk, diced 1 nice clove garlic, minced 1 can, 28 oz. diced tomatoes 3 tablespoons tomato paste or more to taste 1 package chili powder blend or to taste (I used Buena Vida, about 3 tablespoons) 2 teaspoons cumin ⁄ 2 to 1 teaspoon sage
1
1 can chicken broth
Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld
Sometimes having to use meat by the “use by” date inspires me to try something new. That’s how this farmhouse sausage chili recipe came about. I had a pound of pork sausage that had to be used and the outdoor temperature dipped to the low 40’s. Perfect timing. Maybe you’d like to try this sausage chili for that Halloween party. Rewarm in the slow cooker.
Readers want to know: How to re-season a cast iron pan “My cast iron skillet has a grayish color and a little. Food is sticking, too. Can I re-season it?” I told the reader how blessed he was to have a family
heirloom like that. American made, to boot! That happened to one of mine, so I went to the Lodge cast iron site for up-to-date information. Wash with hot, soapy water and scrub vigorously with a brush to get it really clean. (Yes, it’s OK to use a little soap since you’re going to re-season it anyway). Rinse and dry well. I put mine on the burner on low for just a minute. This dries and allows the pan to absorb the oil. Spread a very thin, even coating of either melted solid vegetable shortening or cooking oil to the pan both inside and out. Not too much or you’ll get a sticky fi nish. Put aluminum foil on the bottom rack, not the bottom of the oven, to catch drips. Preheat oven to 350. Put pan upside down on top rack of oven to prevent pooling. Bake about 1-1/2 hours. Turn oven off , leave pan in to cool completely. That should re-season it nicely.
2 cans kidney beans, drained but not rinsed 1 can pinto beans, drained but not rinsed Salt and black pepper to taste Garnish Sliced green onions, sharp cheddar or pepper jack cheese, jalapeno slices Instructions Put sausage, onion, celery and garlic in pot. Cook until sausage is browned and onion and celery are pretty soft. Stir in everything but beans, salt and pepper. Cook 20 minutes at a gentle boil. Add beans and smash a few with potato masher if you like. Cook another 30 minutes or so. Adjust seasonings.

Viewpoints Why we support improving Sycamore Schools Jill Branam and Jonathan Friend
2019 Bond Campaign co-chairs – Community Leadership for a Strong Sycamore
We live in a special community. Symmes Township, Montgomery, Blue Ash, Evendale and the neighborhoods that make up Sycamore Schools represent the best of what Cincinnati has to off er. Comfortable living, convenient locations, strong property values and exceptional schools. We are parents and long-time Sycamore residents. We love this community and want to continue to see it, and our kids, thrive. The investment Sycamore is asking the community to make in replacing the obsolete Sycamore Junior High and E.H Greene Intermediate Schools, renovating Sycamore High School and expanding facilities to support early childhood education is important to everyone – regard-
LETTER TO THE EDITOR It’s ‘time to address facility needs with interest rates at historic low levels’ One of our most important jobs as school leaders is to ensure Sycamore Community Schools’ facilities remain safe, dry, and secure, and support the educational and instructional needs of current and future generations of students and staff . The Board of Education, along with the support and assistance of community members, staff , students, families, and building experts spent three years
less if you have students in Sycamore or not. Before we off ered our support to this campaign, here are four questions we asked and why we are asking you to support this important cause. Is this investment needed? Absolutely. Sycamore Junior High was built in 1926. Yes, 1926 as in the year Calvin Coolidge was president and a year before the fi rst Model-T rolled off the assembly line at Ford. E.H. Greene School was built in 1962. Gas was 62 cents per gallon and JFK was president. To the district’s credit, they have keptup with these aged facilities and allowed them to far exceed the average life expectancy of school buildings in Ohio. Continuing to pour precious funds into obsolete buildings is not a responsible use of community dollars. Is this a responsible use of tax funds?
Yes. The district has proven timeand-time again to be a responsible steward of the community’s money. The district has only had one operating levy in the past 15 years. The district has enrolled in Ohio open checkbook for additional transparency. Can we wait? No. Costs to replace these facilities will continue to increase. Ongoing maintenance costs for the Junior High and Greene will only increase. The waiting list for Sycamore’s early childhood program will lengthen – deterring young families from buying in the community. The technology demands on high school students will require new facilities. Additionally, the historically low interest rates represent strong value. Is the district acting in the community’s best interest? Without a doubt. After the three-year
planning process, the district brought three concepts to the community. After nearly 1,000 responses, the district modifi ed the fi nal concept. • The community insisted Sycamore protect the existing grade structure. It did. • The community said the district should fund a new athletic stadium with private funding. It will. • The community strongly supported renovating buildings where possible and replacing where needed. It is. • The community wanted expanded early childhood services to clear the long waiting list and increase capacity for fullday kindergarten. It is.

creating the district’s $127.5 million Master Facility Plan on the Nov. 5 ballot. If approved, this will result in an increase of $7 monthly per $100,000 of home market value. Although our school buildings have been well maintained, it is no longer fi nancially responsible to invest taxpayer money in aged and low-effi ciency obsolete buildings that do not support the educational and instructional needs of current and future students. Now is the time to address our facility needs with interest rates at historic low levels. Ignoring or postponing will cost our community signifi cantly more as construction costs continue to escalate
and interest rates inevitably rise. We believe the best solution for our whole community is to replace E.H. Greene Intermediate and Sycamore Junior High School, as well as Sycamore Stadium with partial private funding, renovate Sycamore High School, and provide more early childhood opportunities within our current grade level confi guration. Sycamore Schools has become known as a destination district for families by focusing on continuous improvement and adapting to growing shifts in education. Our vision for the future includes learning environments that are agile and adaptive, and easily support a broad
spectrum of learning styles and innovative instructional techniques. For more information, please visit goav.es/masterfacilityplanning As a proud resident of the Sycamore Community, I appreciate the community’s ongoing support to ensure continued academic excellence. It is my commitment to continue the utilization of the Board of Education’s fi nancial parameters and fi scally responsible practices and to provide providing schools that add value to our strong and vibrant community.

No such thing as small tax levy has not yet been able to consider or take. The board is consistently trying to get information out and into the hands of our citizens. Each board member is a Loveland taxpayer. That doesn’t make it any easier to ask more tax dollars of our families, neighbors or fellow citizens. We all know what we committed to in becoming a board member and we take our responsibility very seriously. Our job is to oversee the provision of a safe and adequate education for all the children of our community. Over the years that I have been a board member, enrollment in our schools has more than doubled. I imagine that you have seen Loveland schools get bigger and stronger and yes, better. We, the community as a whole, expect great things from our schools and we have overwhelmingly supported the district in these past years. During this time, we have seen districts all around us struggle and communities as a whole suff er, often taking many years to recover from failed support of their schools. Let’s never take for granted what we have in Loveland today. It has taken tremendous eff ort to get here and will take resources to maintain our place. We are at a truly important moment and there is really no option for us other than to rely on support on Election Day to keep our schools running and improving. This Board of Education has respectfully presented a big picture. A big ask. It is based on needs of space and programs. We are beyond capacity but not beyond our abilities. Please consider carefully the issue that is on the Nov. 5 ballot. Our students and their futures deserve no less. Kathryn Lorenz is a Loveland School Board member. She is Professor Emerita of French at the University of Cincinnati, and the mother of two Loveland graduates and the grandmother of three current Loveland school students.
Kathryn Lorenz Loveland School Board member Community Press
There’s no such thing as a small tax levy. I’ve been a Loveland school board member since 1991 and just prior to being elected, I was a chairperson of the bond issue campaign that earned us our “new” high school. Over these past 28 years, I’ve seen quite a few operating levies and a couple of bond issues, almost all of which have been supported by our Loveland community. None of them have been small or seemed completely fair. “Why not?” might be the question. First of all, Loveland has a predominantly residential tax base. This means that the tax burden is mostly borne by homeowners, whether their houses are large or small, whether their incomes are growing or fi xed, whether they are employed or retired, whether they have school-age children or not. And tax collections, once approved, can’t grow with increased valuation of property or additional homes or additional students in the district. So tax levies and bond issues, which are very big questions for voters, have a lot of inherent inequity, regardless of the number of mills involved. Ttax levies are always a big deal. There has never been, in any of the years that I have been a board member, a tax issue that was proposed lightly or without consideration for the taxpayers. Every levy has been considered through the lens of the economy, the promises made in previous levies, the real needs of the district and the fi scal soundness of the uses proposed for the taxes to be collected. Questions about the levy/bond issue shouldn’t be feared, nor should there be anger. Some questions are answered by board vote or information on the website. Some questions cannot be answered because they concern actions that the board

I have been a proud Loveland resident for 23 years. As a retired publicschool treasurer, having served four districts including Loveland, I am familiar with Loveland School’s fi scal operations and its needs in placing the Nov. 5 levy on the ballot...While this levy request is certainly about numbers, I encourage you to read this article and consider critical aspects of this levy request. As a former school treasurer, I am well versed in school fi nance. I have been challenged throughout my career trying to explain how the laws governing school funding work. This redirection of tax-payer dollars by our legislators has fallen on our lap to explain. We have had little input on preserving the level of school funding voted and approved by our community. These legislative decisions cost Ohio school districts millions of dollars each year and are almost impossible to explain to stakeholders. All I would ask of you is to consider that your feelings about this levy not be fully directed at the leadership of this district. Please understand your legislators’ responsibility for the confusion surrounding school funding and the redirection of tax dollars. Loveland City Schools has a long history of conservative fi scal management and has kept its commitments to this community. The district vowed that the 2014 levy, would last for four years and it has lasted more than fi ve. Past and current students and community members benefi t still from facilities funded by a bond issue
passed 20 years ago. Now, it is time to move forward with renovations and construction of new buildings for the next generation. This levy request is about what is best for our children and our community. Students cannot learn as well in old buildings. Maintaining, operating and implementing technology costs signifi cantly more in old buildings. Students are currently being taught in temporary trailers and hallways. The one-time cost of new construction costs less than operating outdated facilities. Energy effi ciency, our children’s safety and technology require newer buildings. Safety training has become a critical component of our children’s education. You own these facilities and although the Board of Education and Administration provide leadership, you are ultimately responsible to provide that which our children need to be safe so they can succeed. Our buildings do not have current safety and security infrastructure to protect against real threats facing them. The quality of our schools has a direct impact on the quality of our community and its economic stability, including the value of our property. Legitimizing a “no” vote without taking into consideration these critical realities is short-sighted. On Nov. 5, I ask that you consider not just the numbers, but also what the school district has consistently delivered for our children and for this community. This vote is about all our children and our community. This responsibility belongs to all of us. The return on investment will come both soon and later. Return on investment has already been provided for us by voters in the past. Pass it forward.

Mason girls take Ohio Division I team tennis title, Indian Hill runner-up in DII Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
MASON – A day after a productive outing at the state individual tournament at the Lindner Tennis Center, Mason High School’s girls’ team went to Reynoldsburg, Ohio, a place that’s been very friendly to the Comets. Sunday was no diff erent. For the third straight season, coach Mike Reid’s squad won the Ohio Tennis Coaches Association Division I state team tournament. They did with backto-back shutouts (3-0) against Upper Arlington and Magnifi cat. Saturday in Mason, Ananya Aggarwal was the OHSAA Division I singles runner-up, while Annie Kruse/Raina Chada fi nished third in Division I doubles. See TENNIS, Page 2B
Seventh-seed Youngstown Boardman advanced in their Ohio Division I sectional soccer semifi nal over 10th seed Canton McKinley Wednesday, Oct. 16. McKinley had just one shot on goal, so obviously it was a mismatch. On the other hand, Boardman scored 25 times in what appears to be a statement against getting a worsethan-expected seed in the tournament. While there is no offi cial mercy rule in OHSAA soccer, many Greater Cincinnati coaches took umbrage with the result. Cincinnati Hills League championship coach Adam Jones of Wyoming, a frequent Twitter contributor, was outraged, calling it an absolute disgrace to the game. Boardman had 13 players score, including one with six goals as stats were padded for a night. Their coach directed his ire toward Canton schools through McKinley. See SOCCER, Page 2B

Roger Bacon’s Kiner scores eight TDs against CHCA Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Roger Bacon standout running Corey Kiner continues to etch his name into the record books. On Friday, the highly-touted junior scored eight touchdowns in Roger Bacon’s 58-32 victory over Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy at Bron Bacevich Memorial Stadium. His eight trips to the end zone puts him with special company in the Ohio High School Athletic Association record books. According to OHSAA football records, he is one of 19 players in Ohio high school football history to have eight or more touchdowns in a single game. He is the fi rst since Columbus West’s Byron White had nine against Africentric on Sept. 18, 2015. He’s also the fi rst
player from Greater Cincinnati with eight-plus touchdowns in a single game. Kiner also shattered three more Roger Bacon records against the Eagles. His seven rushing touchdowns and 323 yards are both school records in addition to becoming the program’s all-time leader in all-purpose yards. Earlier this season, Kiner became the school’s all-time leading scorer with a three-touchdown performance against Woodward. Last week, in a 32-8 victory over Meadowdale, Kiner became Roger Bacon’s all-time leading rusher. Friday’s performance against CHCA puts the junior over the 4,000-yard mark for his career. The Spartans move to 7-1 on the season with hopes of clinching a playoff spot for the fi rst time since 2010.

The best haunted houses in Cincinnati Madeline Mitchell Cincinnati Enquirer
in Newport, adjacent to Newport on the Levee.
What comes after summer? If you thought fall, you’re not technically wrong ... just maybe not as in touch with your ghoul-ish side. Spooky season is upon us, and what better way to get in the mood than touring Cincinnati’s best and most terrifying haunted houses? We’ve compiled a list to help you get on your way. And for those of you who aren’t so into the blood and gore, we’ve made another list of not-so-scary fall festivals to attend, too.
Good, wholesome fun:

Highway 50 Fright Field (Fridays and Saturdays in October from 8 p.m. to midnight; single tickets $10-$15) This haunted trail goes off the beaten path and into a haunted wood all on a real haunted 1830s farm just next to an actual Indian archaeological site. Highway 50 Fright Field is in its seventh year and off ers three attractions: the Haunted Trail & Woods, the Operation Termination Zombie Paintball and the new Corn Cob Cannon where you can shoot real cobs of corn into the fi eld with a cannon to hit zombie targets. As the name suggests, the trail is located on Highway 50 near the Indiana/ Ohio state line. You’ll know you’ve made it when you see a huge clown on the side of the barn.
The Dent Schoolhouse (Thursdays and Sundays from 7:30-10 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays from 7:30 p.m. to midnight; general admission $20-25) Located at 5963 Harrison Ave., The Dent Schoolhouse is home to the ghost of a murderous janitor and other killer faculty members. Yes, it was a real school from 1894, and yes, it is haunted! This year, a special November edition will let you go through with a glow stick as your only source of light – which is bound to summon some extra spooks.

Reid was worried that Aggarwal would be limited in energy on Sunday. Fortunately, she was productive and her teammates, inspired by her lead, followed suit. In the end, Ananya Aggarwal’s singles matches weren’t needed as Emma Kruse posted quick victories in third singles and Mason’s doubles teams completed the sweep. “It’s a great day to be a Comet!” Reid said. “It is hard because you play a lot of teams and you play a lot of diff erent lineups. There’s a little bit of rock, paper, scissors going on in terms of which players play singles and which players play doubles.” Reid’s shuffl ing worked again resulting in yet another pleasurable bus ride home from the Columbus suburb. Against Upper Arlington, Emma Kruse won third singles 6-0, 6-1. In doubles Sanjana Reddy/Annie Kruse won 6-0, 6-1 and Raina Chada/Anna Tonkal won 6-0, 6-1. In the fi nal against Magnifi cat, Emma Kruse cruised 6-0, 6-0, as did Reddy/Annie Kruse. Megan Li/Kelly Reid won second doubles 6-3, 6-2 to send seven senior Comets out with a state title. “Team tennis is a diff erent dynamic,” Reid said. “It’s important for everybody on the team to see what the other kids are doing.

Horror Hike Haunted Trail (Fridays and Saturdays beginning at 8 p.m.; tickets start at $18) This spooky experience is not for the faint of heart. The Horror Hike Haunted Trail, located at 1680 US 50 in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, leads visitors on a half-mile hike through a wooded, uneven terrain. According to their site, the Horror Hike “caters to an audience that EXPECTS to be SCARED and INTIMIDATED.” A Horror Hike Campout event is scheduled in the forest the night of Sept. 27. Attendees can choose between a green or red tent to signify if they want a “safe zone” during the campout. Tickets for the campout are $75 and can be purchased at horrorhike.com.
Mount Healthy Haunted Hall (Fridays and Saturdays from 8-11 p.m., Sundays from 7-9 p.m.; general admission $10) The Mount Healthy Haunted Hall features not just a haunted house but also includes tents, backyard areas and a giant vortex. The Haunted Hall will have 20 scenes this year, including favorites like the Hellavator, Dracula and the Bate’s Motel. See what it’s all about at 7700 Seward Ave. in Mount Healthy.

It helped that she got a good start and the other kids saw how well she was doing and that gave them confi dence.” Mason has now won fi ve straight Greater Miami Conference tiles and Ananya Aggarwal was player of the year. Joining her on the GMC fi rst team were sister Shyla Aggarwal, Annie Kruse and the doubles teams of Raina Chada/Sanjana Reddy and Emma Kruse/Anna Tonkal. “It was a pretty special day for us with a great group of kids that together have won three state championships in a row,” Reid said. In Division II, Indian Hill was also part of the OTCA fi nal four. Saturday at the Lindner Tennis Center saw Hayley Hirsch/Morgan Coburn win the state DII doubles crown. The Lady Braves coached by Gary Samuels defeated Columbus Academy to reach the fi nals but fell short 3-2 against Hathaway Brown to fi nish as the Division II runner-up. Indian Hill’s lineup featured Morgan Coburn at fi rst singles, Hayley Hirsch second and Jessie Budde third. First doubles were Bella Kirby/Jessica August and second doubles were Hannah Pollock/Jenny Zhang. Indian Hill has won every Cincinnati Hills League title since 1996. This season’s accomplishments came despite Hirsh, Coburn and Kirby missing signifi cant time during the regular season.
from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m., Thursdays and Sundays from 8-11:30 p.m.; general admission starts at $30) Located at 8762 Thomas Road in Middletown, Land of Illusion off ers guests six attractions: Zombie Sniper Patrol, Middletown Haunted Trail, Dr. Psycho’s Haunted Estate, Temple of Terror, Phobia and Killer Klowns. Don’t check out the videos on their website on a full stomach. And if the real thing is any worse ... good luck to the brave souls who enter!
Halloween Haunt at Kings Island (Fridays and Saturdays from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m.; general admission starts at $34) USA Today voted Halloween Haunt at Kings Island the “Best Theme Park Halloween Event” in the country in 2018. There’s a reason for that. The theme park gets a makeover just in time for Halloween, providing haunted mazes, outdoor scare zones, live shows and monsters ready to pounce from around every corner. Plus, you can couple a night of haunts with the thrill of a ride on the Beast or any other coaster while you’re there.
The USS Nightmare (Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays from 7-11 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m.) Only 85 percent of people actually make it through The USS Nightmare, according to their website. The other 15 percent “jump ship.” This attraction features two decks aboard a haunted ship that lost 112 crew members in its 45 years of service. Scenes are played out and guests become part of the action, searching for an escape all the while. The ship is located on Riverboat Row

“Unfortunately, if I have to be honest with you, this is what happens when you have a fl awed and unethical voting system for seeding,” Boardman coach Eric Simione told Eric Fortune of the Youngstown Vindicator. “We should be the three seed in this tournament. When all the Canton schools are going to get together and vote against a Youngstown school just so we have to be on the road. “This game should have never even existed. We should have had a bye tonight. I don’t know what to say about that. If the Northeast district board thinks their system is ethical, they need to re-evaluate their system.” As overwhelming as the 25 goals seem, it’s not even an OHSAA record. Back in 1999, Wheelersburg once scored 28 against West Union. The individual record for a game is 11. The Wyoming Cowboys of Adam Jones topped out at nine this season against Reading, Deer Park and Badin in their 15-0-1 regular season run. Likewise, Greater Catholic LeagueSouth champion Moeller coached by Mike Welker topped out at nine in their opening playoff win against Harrison. “Situations like this don’t arise if OHSAA implements a mercy rule in Ohio or limits the amount of teams in the playoff s,” Jones said. “However, un-

The Great Pumpkin Fest at Kings Island (Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 7 p.m.; tickets start at $35) Planet Snoopy will host The Great Pumpkin Fest at Kings Island where families can enjoy live entertainment, mazes, trick-or-treating and more. Kings Island will also host a new HalloTween event this year on Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 6 p.m. for young scare-seekers, according to their website. Abbreviated versions of some of the Halloween Haunt attractions will off er family-friendly challenges to guests.
Fall on the Farm at Blooms & Berries Farm Market and Garden Center (Monday-Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Sundays 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; $9 Monday-Friday, $12 Saturdays and Sundays) Hayrides, corn mazes, cow train rides, caramel apples, duck races and more are available for people of all ages at Fall on the Farm. And don’t forget the pumpkin patch! You can’t miss the fun at 9669 S. Ohio 48 in Loveland.

The animals show their love for fall with special decorations in their enclosures. Kids can trick-or-treat alongside the animals, ride the Hogwarts Express Train and take a trip around the Scareousel.
til something is done at the state level it’s our responsibility as coaches to handle winning and losing in a graceful and respectful manner.” Scott Sievering of Summit Country Day has won four of the school’s seven state titles. Their opening Division II tournament win was halted at nine goals. “I will never understand scores like this,” Sievering said. “I don’t know the coach and I don’t want to pass judgment, but I do know that respect, integrity and sportsmanship should never allow such a score line. This isn’t rocket science. It is coaching soccer and dealing with young men. Winning is great, but not when it’s at the expense of what all of this is really about.” Mike Dunlap of Loveland has won back-to-back championships in the Eastern Cincinnati Conference. The Tigers had just two lopsided games of eight and nine goals, but never attempted double fi gures. “I would really like to talk with someone who was witness to that match to get a feel for the vibe surrounding the stadium,” Dunlap said. Walnut Hills was a two-time ECC champion under Eric Rothwell. “It doesn’t make sense and shows a lack of understanding and class,” former Eagles coach Rothwell said. “There are things you can do like take players off , play with only seven vs. 11. Then, instruct players not to shoot. High school sports are a great way to teach humility and this was an opportunity missed.”

Hyde Park resume writer makes computer bots see your resume Today, large corporations receive as many as 75,000 resumes a week. It is an extremely competitive marketplace. There is an art and a science to creating an eff ective resume. That’s where Marie Plett, Hyde Park resident, and Certifi ed Resume Master comes in. Marie is recognized by the National Resume Writers’ Association (NRWA) as the nation’s top resume writer, having received more “ROAR” (Recognizing Outstanding Achievement in Resumes) Awards than any other resume writer in history. “Every top executive’s story is unique,” said Marie. “The resume I created for executives in George W. Bush’ West Wing naturally contained diff er-
ent elements than those for executives of Capitol Records. But every resume must be created to literally break through thousands of others. I’m honored to have my resumes do that with the sophisticated methods used by today’s large companies.” It all started when a 12 year-old Marie Plett was asked to look over the many resumes received by her parents, IT professionals, and “get rid of the dumb ones.” Years later, the adult Plett discovered that rePlett sume writing was a profession, and that triggered her to follow her passion and start her company, AspirationsResume.com. Chosen by top executives across the country, Marie is recognized as creating eff ective resumes for both humans and computers. Her creations cut through the thousands of resumes screened by ATS (Application Tracking Software), a computer process used by the largest corporations, including Microsoft and Google. “Testing a resume with ATS is a critical element,” continued Plett. “80% of large employers use it. Key words need to excite the human reader plus get the attention of the computer. Content is king to making sure your resume is ranked at the top of the list, and that you’re getting calls immediately. If your resume lacks the right language, you’re out of luck, despite your skills.” AspirationsResume.com shares the facts with their clients: a recent survey by Top Resume showed that 68% of executive job candidates using a top professional resume writer got a job within 3 months. And recruiters chose professional written resumes twice as often as selfwritten ones. Mike Dektas

women attending Boys State & Girls State report how valuable it was for them to attend Boys State & Girls State and it being one of the greatest experiences of their young lives. This program is so successful that the Blue Ash Civic League has volunteered to give support to Post 630 in sending additional students to Boys & Girls State in 2020. American Legion NE Post 630 is located at 9306 Towne Square Avenue in Blue Ash. Post 630 Member, Earl Johnson, Sr. is the chairman of the Post’s Buckeye Boys & Girls State Committee.

Local youths graduate from American Legion Buckeye Boys & Girls State American Legion NE Post 630, located in Blue Ash, announced that Finnegan Huxell, of Milford High School, and Alexander Kennedy, of Moeller High School, graduated from Ohio American Legion Buckeye Boys State. Emily Winter, of Deer Park High School, and Avery Lehman, of Sycamore High School, graduated from Buckeye Girls State. Buckeye Boys State and Girls State are intensive eight-day educational programs involving Ohio Government for high school students, where each student becomes a part of the operation of a Mythical 51st State’s local, county and state government. At American Legion Buckeye Boys State & Girls State, participants are exposed to the rights, privileges, duties and responsibilities of a franchised citizen. The training is subjective, piratical and non-partisan with city, county and state government operated by students elected to various offi ces. Activities include legislative sessions, court proceedings, law enforcement presentations, assemblies, a band and recreation. Incoming high school seniors are selected through a competitive application process by local American Legion Posts in consultation with the high school administration.

In addition, students will be on hand to guide tours and to give a student’s insight and perspective on their experiences at the school. “Inviting students to interact with new families and co-lead tours sends a powerful message about the experience our students have gained during their time here,” states CMH Director, Casey Reed. Prospective parents and children are invited to tour the beautiful seven-acre campus, which includes fl ower and fruit gardens, a pond, a creek, a bird blind, trails, and a raspberry and apple orchard. Off ering programs for children age three through sixth grade, CMH is a non-profi t institution that provides a rigorous academic curriculum, focuses on the development of the whole child, and fosters a lifelong love of learning. The school includes enrichment programs with Spanish, music, library, health and wellness, running club, and outdoor education programs to ensure children receive a balanced, wellrounded education. Children’s Meeting House has been providing excellent, authentic Montessori education since 1972. In fact, the school was voted “Best Preschool in Cincinnati” by the readers of Cincinnati Family Magazine, drawing strong support from the Loveland community and alumni families that have been involved with CMH over the last 46 years. CMH is located less than a mile from downtown Loveland. To set up a tour or get more detailed information, please call CMH admissions at (513) 683-4757 or visit: www.cmhschool.com Susan Maggard, Children’s Meeting House

CHCA National Merit Semifi nalists, from left: Jonathan Edgington, Cade Reinberger, Lillian McNutt, Evan Phelps and Ryan Keenan. PROVIDED
olas, Principal of Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy’s Martha S. Lindner Upper School announced that Jonathan Edgington (of Wilmington), Ryan Keenan (of West Chester), Lillian McNutt (of Maineville), Evan Phelps (of Montgomery), and Cade Reinberger (of Cincinnati) have been named National Merit Semifi nalists among 16,000 in the 65th annual National Merit Scholarship Program (NMSC). A certifi cate from the NMSC will be presented to these students at CHCA’s Academic Awards Night in May 2020. These students now have an opportunity to continue in the competition for 7,600 National Merit Scholarships worth more than $31 million that will be off ered next spring. More than 90 percent of the semifi nalists are expected to attain fi nalist standing, and approximately half of the Finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar® title. Over 1.5 million juniors in about 21,000 high schools entered the 2020 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the 2018 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®), which served as an initial screen of program entrants. The number of Semifi nalists in a state is proportional to the state’s percentage of the national total of graduating seniors. Jennifer Murphy, Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy

Erik Agard, 26, is a professional crossword constructor and editor, now working for Andrews McMeel Universal syndicate in Kansas City, Mo. His last Sunday puzzle was ‘‘Stoner’s Film Festival’’ in June. He says the idea for this one came from rewatching ‘‘Black Panther’’ recently (referenced at 87-Across). This is Erik’s 17th crossword for The Times this year, and altogether his sixth one with a movie theme. — W.S.
