The National Exemplar in Mariemont has a warm, clubby atmosphere and good food. FILE PHOTO

An ode to Mariemont’s

National Exemplar Keith Pandolﬁ | Cincinnati Enquirer | USA TODAY NETWORK

It never fails. Every time we drive by the Mariemont Inn together, my mother says the same thing: “That’s where your father and I stayed when we were looking for houses in Cincinnati.” And every time she says it, the same image pops into my head. An image of my parents in their mid-30s, both of them impeccably dressed, sitting down to dinner inside the National Exemplar, which was then known as the Red Lion Tavern. It was 1979. They were newbies from New England with absolutely no idea how their lives would unfold. Knowing my father, he probably ordered the the most expensive steak on the menu; my mother the chicken salad or a club sandwich. I imagine they felt classy and comfortable sitting next to the restaurant’s enormous brick ﬁ replace and beneath its wood-beamed, chandeliered ceiling. I’ll bet they felt hopeful, plotting a future together in a city that neither had ever been to before. I was 9 years old when we moved to Cincinnati. And our ﬁ rst years here

were not kind. All three of us had a diffi cult time fi nding our place in a city where everyone, it seemed, was a native. As an odd kid with odd tastes, I found it hard to make friends. Eventually I met a kid from Canada we all called Bones, who got me through the worst of it. Later, I met a kid from Kentucky named Gordon, who would one day serve as the best man at my wedding. Through the years, my parents and I would come back to the Exemplar, which always felt like hitting the reset button of our lives. By the time I went away to college, Cincinnati was home. And, after 20 years away, it’s home again. And so here I am, 50 years old, sitting at the National Exemplar on a Tuesday afternoon. The tables are full outside, so I opt to eat inside, which seems fi ne, because there aren’t too many people in here. I’ve eaten inside at the Exemplar several times since COVID-19, and, with its distancing protocols fi rmly in place and plenty of hand sanitizer at each and every table, I’ve always felt relatively safe.

Townhome development proposed for Kenwood Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A Boone County developer is seeking a zone change and permission to build 22 townhomes in Kenwood. Grand Communities wants to build the single-family, attached homes on about 2 1⁄ 2 acres at 8760 Montgomery Road and call the community “Hillpointe.” The Sycamore Township Zoning Commission is set to consider the request on Monday, Nov. 9. The proposed Hillpointe development would include two-story and three-story buildings at the front of the property, according to paperwork Grand Communities ﬁ led with the township. Grand Communities said the four-

unit and six-unit buildings would include open-fl oor plans, garages and access to jobs and good schools. “Hillpointe is an opportunity for desirable, diverse, high-quality product within Sycamore Township,” Grand Communities said. Grand Communities also said the project would fi t in with surrounding properties, with commercial uses to the north, west and south, and residential uses to the east. “Over 40% of the community is preserved as open space; providing a buff er to the south and east,” Grand Communities said. “A homeowners’ association will be established to own and maintain all open spaces, (including existing trees and/or new landscaping).”

Chocolate pot de creme with peppermint whipped cream at The National Exemplar in Mariemont

Exemplar Continued from Page 1A

Lingering over lunch or dinner or brunch at the Exemplar can feel like a vacation at an old inn and pub in the Cotswolds. Before the virus, I always made a point of stopping by the inn’s other drinking establishment, Southerby’s Bar, for a nightcap by the fi replace. (And I can’t wait to do that again once it reopens.) I come to the Exemplar not just for the nostalgia or Downton Abbey fantasies. I also come here for the food, which is always good, and in some cases, well, exemplary. When I want to splurge, I’ll go with the prime rib au jus, with charred broccolini (among my favorite sides) and whipped potatoes. While currently off the menu, I think the bison burger is phenomenal. And the egg sandwich with goetta and cheese almost – ALMOST – rivals the one at Eckerlin Meats at Findlay Market. It makes sense given the culinary talent behind this place. Its executive chef, Jeremy Luers, is a veteran sous chef of Babbo in New York City; he was also the chef de cuisine at Boca; the executive chef at the Rookwood and Enoteca Emilia. The other chef, Ed Przedwiecki went to Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Atlanta. There’s a lot of talent here. The restaurant has changed since my parents fi rst visited in 1979, not just in name, but in appearance. There are large drum-shaped light fi xtures, instead of the old chandeliers; craft beers are on the menu, and most of the ingredients they’re using come from places within a reasonable driving distance. Speaking with the restaurant’s chief operating offi cer, Michael Pardo, I found out they’re about to refresh the

restaurant soon. I said I hoped they wouldn’t change it too much, and he reassured me that they wouldn’t. I hope not. I don’t want anything to change my feelings toward the Exemplar as a vacation home to which I can always return – an escape from this world of pandemics and politics; anxiety and social media meltdowns. Its clubby appeal makes people who don’t have a lot of money feel richer and more secure. I suppose it makes people who are already rich and secure feel the same way, too. The thing about the National Exemplar is that it’s a good place to contemplate the past. When I go there now, I

can’t help but think about the things that have changed since that summer in 1979 when my parents ﬁ rst ate there. My mother is 76, and Dad’s been gone for 30 years. But it’s also a place to pamper yourself in the present while still looking toward the future. As I sipped a cup of coﬀ ee after lunch on a recent Tuesday, I also thought about my daughter, who’s just four years younger than I was when my family moved to Cincinnati; the little bungalow my wife and I just bought nearby; all the experiences, the moments – and meals – that are still left left to be had.

Purina announces huge factory in Clermont County Alexander Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Nestlé Purina PetCare said Oct. 26 it will build its fi rst new American factory in 45 years in Clermont County that will employ 300 workers. Construction is set to begin shortly and the $550 million plant will become operational in 2023. It will become the 10th American facility producing dry pet food, including Purina Pro Plan, Purina One and Dog Chow. The Williamsburg Township plant will become the company’s 23rd overall plant in the U.S. Once completed, the 1.2- millionsquare-foot facility will be as large as the Kenwood Towne Centre. Ohio and local offi cials have agreed to provide a package of at least $6.8 million tax incentives to secure the project. “Close collaboration between JobsOhio, its local partners and the Development Services Agency were essential to attracting Purina’s newest facility and 300 jobs to Ohio,” said Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine. State offi cials said Ohio won the project over competing bids by North Carolina and Kentucky. Purina’s incentive package includes an estimated $2 million state job creation tax credit of 1.714% over 10 years. The incentives also include an estimated $4.8 million sales tax exemption on construction and supply costs from the Port Authority of Clermont County. Further incentives Purina is getting are a 100% local enterprise zone tax ex-

emption from the township and Clermont County, while the Williamsburg school district will receive at least $320,000 per year payment in lieu of taxes. Local oﬃ cials said they haven't determined the value of the enterprise zone exemption. “We are grateful for the partnership at the state and local levels, and we’re excited to call Clermont County home,” said Nina Leigh Krueger, president of Purina. Purina oﬃ cials said the region’s manufacturing talent and central U.S. location made Clermont a logical choice for the new factory. “Clermont County is an excellent lo-

cation for Purina’s newest factory thanks to the region’s distribution opportunities, a workforce with great potential and strong community values,” said Nolan Terry, vice president of manufacturing for Purina. Offi cials with the Regional Economic Development Initiative (REDI) Cincinnati said the project is one of the largest investments by a company moving new operations to the region in more than fi ve years. “Nestlé Purina Petcare is an incredibly welcome addition to the Cincinnati region’s food manufacturing,” said Kimm Lauterbach, REDI Cincinnati president, noting the 300 food and fl avoring companies with operations in

the area. The plant will be in the South Afton Industrial Park. The facility will use robotics and innovative digital tools and feature a training center to promote learning and Purina paid $6.95 million for the land earlier this month, Clermont County Auditor's Offi ce records show. “Clermont County will recoup its initial investment in South Afton. This is a win for Clermont County government, the Williamsburg area, Nestlé Purina and the residents of Clermont County,” said David Painter, president of Clermont County Board of Commissioners. Purina said the factory will fully be staff ed by 2024 and the jobs will include professional staff , production operators, technical staff and engineers. State offi cials say the plant's annual payroll will be more than $12.5 million. The project is the second new factory Purina has announced in 2020 after the company recently announced it would convert a former brewery into a factory in North Carolina. Overall, Nestlé employs 3,300 people in Ohio. It has operations in Solon, Marysville, Cleveland, Brecksville and Zanesville. Ohio offi cials on Oct. 26 also announced a separate $210,000 incentive deal to win a new location project in Blue Ash for 3D metal printing machine manufacturer, AddUp. State offi cials say the facilty will create 25 new jobs with a $2.3 million annual payroll. The state beat out South Carolina for the project.

Restaurant-style sweet and sour pork recipe is ‘pretty simple’ Restaurant-style sweet and sour pork Again, chicken works well too. A good store-bought sweet and sour sauce works well, or for a homemade sauce, check out my abouteating.com site. Ingredients Boneless pork or pork tenderloin, cut into bite size pieces and seasoned Batter for meat (recipe follows) Oil for frying (about an inch in a deep skillet) Bell pepper, cut into chunks Pineapple chunks, drained (save juice if making homemade sauce) Sweet and sour sauce Cooked rice Crispy and puffy batter coating This makes enough for about 1 pound meat. ⁄ 4 teaspoon salt

⁄ 3 cup flour

⁄ 4cup cornstarch

⁄ 2 teaspoon baking powder

1 egg, lightly beaten 2 tablespoons oil

⁄ 3 cup cold water

Instructions Whisk together salt, flour, cornstarch and baking powder.

I was hoping to ﬁ nd some turkey wings at the grocery to make my do-ahead freezer turkey gravy (a ﬂ avorful gravy which can be used alone or added to turkey drippings). There weren’t any in the poultry case, but I did see some nice boneless pork chops on sale, so those went into my cart. My original thought was a simple dinner of fried pork chops, and sliced fried garden potatoes. Somehow by the time supper rolled around, the fried pork chop idea lost its appeal. So I cut the chops up into bite-sized pieces for sweet and sour pork, the kind in Chinese restaurants. I had a couple bell peppers in the refrigerator, plus a can of pineapple chunks in the pantry, and I always have rice on hand. I was good to go. Here’s the recipe and it’s pretty simple. Originally made with chicken, pork chops or pork tenderloin make good substitutions.

Whisk in egg, oil and water until batter is smooth.

Deep-fried pork just out of the oven.

The one thing I’ll caution you about is that the small pieces of meat cook real quick, regardless if you use pork, or chicken, so don’t overcook or they’ll tend to be dry. The batter coating puﬀ s up as the pork fries and is golden brown and crispy. Readers weigh in: Zuppa Toscana soup: Stephen S. had this to say: “Fantastic and delicious. New favorite.” Mississippi pot roast: Dave L.’s comments: “Finally got around to making the easy version. Family absolutely loved it and they are not big fans of pot roast!”

Dip pieces in batter. Drop carefully into hot oil (350-375 degrees or until a little cube of bread fries golden in a few seconds). Fry about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and meat is cooked through. Set aside on warm platter while cooking peppers and pineapple. Remove most of the hot oil from pan (careful here), then cook peppers and pineapple a bit until peppers are crisp tender. Pour sweet and sour sauce into pan with peppers and pineapple. When sauce gets hot, add cooked pork and toss everything gently to coat. Serve with rice.

Bomber teammate Nolan Schuermann and Mason’s Charlie Golski tied at 10th after shooting 10-over par 152. Joe Wilson from Lakota East, who was tied with Gilkison last year, shot a 154 for an 18th-place fi nish. With two top fi nishers, St. Xavier fi nished as the top local team with a third-place fi nish overall. Mason fi nished in fi fth place while Lakota East was seventh out of the 12 teams that qualifi ed. The Bombers and the Comets were only off by fi ve strokes and often had golfers fi nish side-by-side. Besides Schuermann and Golski, St. Xavier’s Eric Braun and Mason’s A.J. Wilhelm fi nished tied for 20th and St. Xavier’s Zach Braun and Mason’s Nate Vonderharr were tied for 29th place. Luke Lammers of Elder and Adam Murphy of Lakota East fi nished 15over par in a tie for 25th place.

REYNOLDSBURG - A day after the Oct. 24 Ohio High School Coaches Association girls individual state tennis tournament, two Greater Cincinnati squads were playing again and one of them toted home a trophy. The yearly Ohio Tennis Coaches Association team tournament takes place in Reynoldsburg, outside of Columbus, roughly 92 miles away from the Lindner Tennis Center in Mason. Mason head coach Mike Reid has had the logistics and statistics in his favor in recent years. Reid’s Comets won their fourth straight crown, proving worthy of their No. 1 state ranking with a 3-2 victory over Upper Arlington. The girls defeated Lebanon, Centerville and Ursuline to make the trip north, then downed Magnifi cat and UA to earn yet another happy ride down I-71. Winning for the Comets was sophomore Shyla Aggarwal in fi rst singles against UA’s Ella Hazelbaker 6-3, 6-0 just a day after falling in the OHSAA Division I individual tournament to state champion Elizabeth Pendergast of St. Ursula. UA split their state doubles champions, Hazelbaker and Megan Basil into singles. Basil did win second singles over Mason sophomore Harshita Uppuganti 6-1, 6-1. “We were a little concerned over Shyla after she fi nished second in the state,” Reid said. “I was a little concerned that she might run out of gas, but she didn’t. She fi nished strong. Shyla was cold and tired today and it was cold out, but she really got herself fi red up.” Junior Rashi Loni did take third singles, 6-2, 6-3 over Emma Wang. Mason’s fi rst doubles team of seniors Raina Chada/Annie Kruse fell 7-6, 6-3 to Noah Mizer/Ava Richard who fi nished third at the DI individual tourney.

“Right after Annie and Raina had lost, No. 2 doubles lost the second set,” Reid said. “It was pretty stressful. Finally, we got a big break and went to 5-4 (third set). Risha Chada hit some big shots and Anna Tonkel stepped up and really took charge.” Other Mason team members are senior Riley Cosimi, junior Shruthi Datla, junior Danielle Lebedey, junior Danielle Reid and sophomore Riya Zutshi. The Comets downed Magnifi cat in the Oct. 25 semi 3-0 as Loni defeated Brigid O’Neil 6-0, 6-1 in third singles. In doubles, Raina Chada/Kruse defeated Caroline Moritz/Lexi Ospelt 6-1, 6-3 and Risha Chada/Tonkal beat Kayra Koprulu/Ally Stoehr 6-4, 6-1. “You probably have to have a little bit of luck in there and a heck of a lot of good tennis players,” Reid said of Mason’s four consecutive championships. “We’ve had a lot of success and we’re very fortunate.” Indian Hill (Division II) qualifi ed for the semifi nals by defeating Summit Country Day, Seven Hills and Eaton.

Coach Wade Ward’s Indian Hill girls fell in their DII semi to Hathaway Brown, a perennial power. Indian Hill’s Bella Kirby won her fi rst singles match over Olivia Gidlow and state qualifying freshman Brooke Arington prevailed over Alice Lin 6-1, 6-0. However, Hathaway Brown won third singles over Jessie Budde and Indian Hill dropped both doubles matches. State qualifi ers Jessica August/ Hannah Pollock lost 6-2, 7-5 to Summer Mu/Alex Wolf with state quarterfi nalist Jenny Zhang/Lexi Larsen losing to Ally and Kate Mills, who were also quarterfi nalist, 6-3, 6-0.

In his social media post just after 8 p.m. Thursday, Parker wrote: To my friends and family, today will be a day I'll never forget. Today is the day that I was offi cially diagnosed with colon and liver cancer. I've cried many tears and asked, "why me?' a thousand times. The hardest part of the day was having to share this devastating news with my daughters. The look on their faces as they cried nearly killed me, but it also gave me the courage to fi ght! I can't quit and I won't quit! My road is long and my treatments will be aggressive but I will win. I know a lof you will call, text, or message me and I just want you to know I appreciate you! I can't always respond, but please know it's appreciated! For those that do already know, THANK YOU for your support has been tremendous! Also to my Loveland community, you have been great! Don't worry about a thing, we got this and we will do it "Our Way". The best thing you can do for me is when you pray, say a little prayer for my girls and their mother, my beautiful and always supportive fi ance, my mom and dad, and for my entire family. They will need you all

more than ever!! This isn't an ending, it's a beginning! I've got more parenting to do, more coaching to do and more LIVING to do. Sincerely, Future Cancer Survivor Parker's ﬁ ance is Sam (Samantha) McElfresh, who played at Batavia High School for her father and has been Loveland's junior varsity coach. Parker's girls' squads at Loveland have been 58-16 in his three seasons. "Our thoughts and prayers are with him," Loveland athletic director Brian Conatser said. "He's a strong person and will continue to lead the team. His assistants will take more of a role when he needs breaks as he goes through his treatments." Nick Bennett, a pitcher in the Milwaukee Brewers organization out of Moeller High School and the University of Louisville, reached out via Twitter with this message: "Coach Parker not sure if you remember coaching me in grade school at Glen Este but I sure remember playing for you and having a blast! Prayers up for you and your family! You got this!"

In partnership with the Columbus Crew SC, the OHSAA girls and boys soccer state championship games will once again be hosted at MAPFRE Stadium in Columbus. The girls fi nals will be Friday, Nov. 13, followed by the boys' fi nals on Saturday, Nov. 14. The OHSAA applauded the Crew SC for working with the OHSAA to make it possible for the fi nals to remain at MAPFRE Stadium, where they have been since 1999. “We would like to thank the Crew SC for being such a great partner during these uncertain times,” said Kathleen Coughlin, OHSAA Director of Sport Management and soccer administrator. “Due to the attendance restrictions this year, we didn’t know if it would be possible to have our fi nals in such an outstanding venue, but the Crew SC made it happen and we couldn’t be happier to once again crown our soccer state champions at MAPFRE Stadium.” The stadium will be cleared and cleaned after each game.

Volleyball tournament to be hosted by Vandalia-Butler High School The upcoming volleyball state tournament will take a hiatus from the Nutter Center at Wright State University and be hosted by Vandalia Butler High School. In addition, the event will move to a Friday-Saturday-Sunday format (Nov. 13-15). School will not be in session at Butler High School that Friday. “We are very thankful that Butler High School stepped forward to host our volleyball state tournament,” said Emily Gates, OHSAA Director of Sport Management and the volleyball administrator. “We look forward to our return to Wright State University in the future, but with the small number of fans who can attend this year, we needed to fi nd a smaller venue that was still an exceptional site. We found that at Butler High School and are very excited to work together on this great state tournament.” The facility will be cleared and cleaned after each match, so the state tournament schedule will be adjusted to the following: Friday, Nov. 13: Division II semifi nals at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.; Division I semifi nals at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov.14: Division IV semifi nals at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.; Division III semifi nals at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 15: Division II fi nal at 9 a.m.; Division I fi nal at 12:30 p.m.; Division IV fi nal at 4 p.m.; Division III fi nal at 7:30 p.m.

Update on football playoff sites On Oct. 22, the OHSAA informed schools that the better-seeded team would determine the site for the regional fi nals, which can be at the better-seeded team’s home stadium or another site of their choosing. The Division I regional fi nals were set for Friday, Oct. 30, while the regional fi nals for Divisions II through VII are Nov. 6-7. Last week, the OHSAA were set to announce how the regions will be paired for the Division I state semifi nal games. This week, the OHSAA will announce how the regions will be paired for the state semifi nals in Divisions II through VII. The OHSAA will select neutral sites for the state semifi nal games and the state championship games. Sites will be announced as soon as possible. Of note, many traditional host sites are not available to serve as neutral sites due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Great Parks harvests seeds to preserve native plant species with help from MadTree Brewing Great Parks of Hamilton County harvested hundreds of thousands of seeds with the help of volunteers from MadTree Brewing at the Shaker Trace Nursery in Miami Whitewater Forest on Friday, Oct. 9. Shaker Trace Nursery, located at 8667 New Haven Road in Harrison, is home to more than 200 species of plants used for habitat restoration projects. The nursery specializes in seed that is not only native but also speciﬁ c to the local ecotype. “Harvesting native seeds is an important part of our focus at Great Parks to preserve and restore natural greenspace such as prairies and meadows,” said Tim Osborne, nursery technician for Great Parks. “The work we do here, from planting to processing, would not be possible without the dedication of volunteers.” Each year, Great Parks harvests an average of 300 pounds of native seed and germinates and grows up to 10,000 new plants for the nursery beds each year. Native plants at the nursery include milkweed, swamp thistle, purple giant hyssop, whorled rosinweed and others. Plants at the nursery have a high capacity to host native insects and other wildlife. Great Parks grows these plants at the nursery and enlists the help of volunteers to harvest seeds and store them in a temperature- and humiditycontrolled environment until needed. MadTree Brewing has joined Great Parks for the 1% for the Planet initiative, a global movement inspiring businesses and individuals to support environmental solutions through annual membership and everyday actions. 1% for the Planet brings “dollars and doers” together to accelerate smart environmental giving. MadTree has pledged volunteer hours and sponsorship dollars to help Great Parks achieve its sustainability initiatives.

ACUPOLL honored with two 2020 Achievement in Insight and Research Awards Loveland, OHIO – ACUPOLL Precision Research, Inc., has been awarded two 2020 Confi rmit AIR (Achievement in Insight and Research) Awards for insight and innovation throughout the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. The AIR Agency Award recognizes ACUPOLL’s success in delivering outstanding Market Research and insight practices. “We’re delighted to recognize ACUPOLL as a 2020 Confi rmit AIR Award winner for its excellence in delivering critical insights to its clients,” said Kyle Ferguson, CEO of Confi rmit. “Combining eff ective data collection with actionable and inspiring data interpretation is central to deliver value to clients. We are proud to partner with ACUPOLL as they continue to make this combination possible and drive the future of the MR market forward.” The Business Transformation Award was specially created to commend ACUPOLL’s expertise and tenacity in providing innovative insight to help mitigate the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. “2020 has been an extraordinary and challenging year for every business, and MR agencies are no exception,” said Ferguson. “ACUPOLL has done exceptional work in pivoting its business to meet the

changed needs of their clients. We are extremely proud to be their partner as they continue to deliver some of the most innovative research approaches that truly lead the industry.” “We are grateful to receive these two Confi rmit Achievement Awards,” notes Jeff Goldstein, President of ACUPOLL, “and even more delighted to be able to help so many people better understand how to navigate their businesses and communities through these diffi cult times. Our team always strives to Transcend the Status Quo, and that couldn’t be more important than it is today as we work to build a better tomorrow.” When the world virtually stopped in March of this year, ACUPOLL led the charge in seeking to understand the effect on consumers and their behavior – and what it would mean for clients’ brands and the future of their businesses and communities. In particular, ACUPOLL focused on 1) helping clients, the community and government better respond to the crisis; 2) ensuring research data quality amid the changing atmosphere; and 3) anticipating how to come out even stronger as a company than before the crisis. ACUPOLL set the course in tracking the emotions, opinions, and evolving behaviors of consumers by posing questions other fi rms weren’t asking. The results from over a dozen waves of research fi elded among more than 20,000 consumers have been published freely to help clients and the nation’s communities thrive. In tandem with these surveys, ACUPOLL provided COVID-19 tracking research for local business incubator CincyTech, who used the fi ndings to help inform Governor DeWine – one of the most progressive and successful American governors operating during the pandemic – and the Re-Start Ohio committee. ACUPOLL’s COVID-19 Reports have also been incorporated in the global research portals of some of the world’s largest fi nancial, consumer products, and consulting companies – clients and non-clients alike. Within a few weeks of the shutdown, ACUPOLL also took the lead in understanding its impact on client research results by analyzing data from prior crises, sharing learnings from sample providers, and re-testing more than 20 concepts and Spark MCR® idea screening studies to compare results to those from before the crisis. And ACUPOLL has risen to the occasion during the crisis to innovate within its own company, funding development of three new methodologies and research platforms that will be rolled out in the coming months, while retaining all employees to support client demand. Now in their third year, the prestigious AIR Awards celebrate Confi rmit clients committed to driving business success by unlocking powerful insights. Receiving a Confi rmit AIR Award demonstrates ACUPOLL’s ability to break down the barriers and transform complex data into actionable insights that enable their clients to fuel action. ACUPOLL earned these Confi rmit AIR Awards based on its fi erce commitment to client satisfaction and responsiveness, data quality, and leadership in innovation – all while protecting worker safety.

SCHOOL NEWS Madeira HS opens renovated Commons Building Madeira High School’s (MHS) Commons Building renovation, which began last spring, is nearing completion. In 2014 the Planning Commission recommended to the school board that the wingbe updated after its study that looked into current needs, usage, similarschools’ facilities, and the feasibility of renovating. The Commons Building renovation project was added to the Permanent Improvement Plan the following year. Work on the project has been ongoing since the end of last school year and over the summer. The Commons Building now contains new fully operational kitchen, cafeteria, art and music areas. “Work continues in the auditorium areaat this time,” Madeira Assistant Superintendent Dave Bergan stated. “We are extremely excited with the newly renovated spaces that our students and staﬀ have been able to enjoy in the midst of this unique school year and we look forward to the day when we can fully open our doors to the Madeira community to enjoy these updated spaces.”

The new MHS cafeteria features plexiglass panels with ample space for students. PROVIDED

In the music area, a band storage room was added, fl ooring was updated, and acoustical tiles were added to the ceiling and walls. The new area also includes a multipurpose classroom next to the new band storage room. The design to update the cafeteria opened up a wall out into the hallway so students are now able to spread out and eat throughout the entire corridor area. The new confi guration also allows students to get hot meals, sandwiches, fruit trays, drinks and salads from diff erent areas, as opposed to standing in one line – all of which follow COVID safety guidelines.

The art room houses more tables and fl oor space that now provides ample seating and distance between students. Each student has a custom made drawer tostore all of their art supplies. New cabinetry and countertops provide ample storage space and the ability for quality demonstrations. Rubber fl ooring, glass doors, and larger windows were added – as well as adjustable lighting. MHS art teacher Jill Dulgeroff is pleased with the renovation and said, “The new art room space was built around 21st century art production in mind.” Madeira partnered with MSA Architects to redesign and reinvent the MHS Commons Building.

itelligence Blue Ash HQ available for fi rst time itelligence, Inc. has engaged full-service commercial real-estate brokerage SqFt Commercial to market the landmark 70,000 SF headquarters building at 10856 Reed Hartman Highway in Blue Ash. itelligence, an international SAP solutions consulting company, built its North American headquarters and data center in 2012 on the 8.09-acre site, with plans to expand there over time. While its business has grown organically and through acquisition over the last several years, many of itelligence’s employees work on-site for clients or work remotely, creating less need for space in this building. itelligence will continue to own and operate its 16,000 SF data center on the site, and Cincinnati will remain its North American headquarters. itelligence currently occupies an entire fl oor of the building but has the fl exibility to relocate within the building or ex-

ternally depending on the needs of a new tenant; there are two additional tenants occupying space with shortterm leases. Unusual as compared to other Blue Ash properties, the itelligence building is a highly-visible, standalone property with a lake, ample parking, and close proximity to restaurants, hotels and retail – with easy access to 1-71 and 1-275. Designed in collaboration by Cincinnati architectural design fi rms MSP (McGill Smith Punshon) and Casler Design, it was built with the highest quality construction and fi nishes, including abundant natural light from large windows, 10ft ceilings, a large common kitchen/canteen area and a furnished lakefront terrace, among other amenities. Up to the entire 70,000 SF building is available, providing an opportunity for a company to secure a single-tenant headquarters-quality building at a substantial savings, as compared to the cost of new construction. As companies return to the offi ce with COVID-19 remaining a concern, the

ability to control the environment without exposure to other tenants is another benefi t. A signifi cant feature for potential tenants is exterior building signage that off ers day and night visibility. “This is truly an exceptional opportunity for a business to create a signifi cant Blue Ash footprint with high-profi le visibility,” noted Marc Sebens, SqFt Commercial. For tenants that don’t require the entire building, there are opportunities to

occupy a full or half-fl oor. The building was recognized as the Deal of the Year in the large offi ce category by NAIOP (National Association for Industrial and Offi ce Parks) in 2011. For full property details, a dedicated web site will launch soon: www.10856reedhartman.com. To learn more about SqFt Commercial, visit https://sqftcommercial.com/#. Amy Greene, SqFt Commercial

of the Year for Ohio. To win this competitive award, coaches must fi rst be nominated by a peer in the industry. Then, they must complete an application which consists of certifi cations, athletics success, industry advancement, and recommendation letters. Once fi nalists are selected from the applicants, the Coach of the Year committee votes and selects one coach as the winner, this year selecting Coach Atallah, CHCA’s Director of Sports Performance. Adam, a 2007 CHCA graduate, brings a wealth of experience from the athletic world. He serves as a NHSSCA Ohio advisory board member and is part of Jeremy Boone’s LeaderKit, the #1 sports leadership program teaching how to become a bolder, braver, and better leader. Coach Atallah, alongside industry colleague Garrett Keith (Westminster Christian Academy), co-founded Iron Circle, a ministry powered by Athletes in Action. IC is a Christian platform for strength and conditioning coaches to connect in a community that values authenticity, accountability, and action. Each week, 75+ male and female coaches participate nationwide on Iron Circle calls. Atallah received his B.S. in Entrepreneurship from Miami University and played football for the Redhawks from 2007-2009. Adam is married to Michelle and they have a son, Wade William, and 2 dogs, Remington and Ranger. At CHCA, Atallah has made an impact through his work as Director of Sports Performance. He leads daily strength training sessions in the weight room and teaches student athletes about the importance of full-body nutrition and exercise. Coach Atallah especially focuses on increasing strength, speed, power, jumping, and conditioning of athletes as a cohesive team, not as individuals, so the team can have more longevity and success. However, his impact goes beyond just physical fi tness. Atallah was instrumental in developing CHCA’s 360° Armor program that focuses on developing the spirit, mind, and body of student athletes to “[equip] students to encompass life-long values of faith, leader-

ship, and strength of character.” Coach Atallah implements these principles daily by motivating and getting to know his athletes on personal and spiritual levels, which allows him to help them grow in ways beyond just physical. Student athletes recognize the tremendous impact Adam has made in the athletics program. According to Cole Fisher (CHCA ‘20), “Coach Atallah was the very ﬁ rst coach I had at CHCA when I transferred in 7th grade, and he has always poured so much into all of us not only in the weight room, but also mentally, spiritually, and relationally. His character, drive, and passion are some of the many great qualities he possesses that separate him from the rest, and there is no one more deserving of this award. I am very conﬁ dent that I can speak on behalf of

the entire CHCA community when I say that we are all extremely grateful to have Coach A, the best in the business.” As stated by Atallah, “This honor is for all of Eagle Nation. Your trust, commitment, and work has led to our program getting recognized. We have much to get better on, but I believe we are doing something here with a level of excellence and it’s great to be recognized for it.” Tammy Rosenfeldt, Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy

Niche: Indian Hill School District ‘Best in Ohio’ and No. 7 in country The 2021 Niche rankings are out and the Indian Hill School District has again topped the charts. Out of 605 Ohio school districts analyzed, the Indian Hill School District has earned the top spot.

Ranking factors include state test scores, college readiness, graduation rates, SAT/ACT scores, teacher quality, public school district ratings, and more. Heather Higdon, Indian Hill School District
